Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Old Hou Ye received the War Eagle letterhead, and he was happy to see it.

"Knowing father is not like son, well, it turns out that you father and son wanted to go together." Old Hou Ye smiled happily, feeling that there are successors in his heart.

He was old, and his sensitivity to the war situation had become much duller after he retired for two years. After the death of the Hun King, he didn't think of Hu Erdu for a moment. Fortunately, his son and grandson were not like him, who were confused old men.

Zhu Dingbei also laughed, but he knew in his heart that the wise eyes of the ancient military master were indispensable.

He didn't point it out, but said: "Father has already attacked Hu Erdu, and the result is not satisfactory. If I really have to wait until Hu Erdu shows up to preside over the overall situation of the Xiongnu, it will be more difficult than it is now."

Old Hou Ye burned the letter paper and said without even thinking about it: "It's hard to do, this old hag won't be able to stay."

Zhu Dingbei didn't answer, and the old Hou Ye waited for a while before realizing his strangeness.

He was puzzled, "Changsheng, are you thinking of Huerdo?"

Zhu Dingbei hesitated for a while, but still told the old Hou Ye what was in his heart: "My lord, since ancient times, there has been a saying that one goes up and down the other. Without Hu Erduo, the Xiongnu will be in chaos and will be weak for a while. Our momentum will also be weak." Therefore, it has risen sharply, and it may be possible to take advantage of the situation to take a few tribes of the Huns into the bag, but that's all. Governance is more troublesome."

"When it really comes to that point, the Xiongnu will definitely fight back desperately. At that time, it will only be more unfavorable than Huer Duo's situation when he stabilizes the Hunnu and then confronts the enemy."

Old Hou Ye hadn't been puzzled before, but when he thought about it, his expression changed.

He opened his mouth, calmed his temper for a while, and then asked aloud: "You don't agree to kill Huerdo?"

His tone was not questionable at all.

Zhu Dingbei knew that his thoughts ran counter to those of his grandfather and father, and his inner selfishness would make them even more displeased, but he tidied up his topic and replied, "Not bad."

"Grandpa, there is actually not much difference between killing Huerdo or not killing Huerdo in the overall situation. Even if we really capture the Xiongnu, the imperial court does not have the ability to digest it as its own." Zhu Dingbei said bluntly, " The Xiongnu people are different from the Xianbei, they separated from the Xianbei tribe and set up their own family. In the past, attacking Xianbei was like attacking Dajing. Their ambition and humility are stronger than those of the Xianbei people."

"Even if they are frightened for a while, they will never be convinced. It will not take three to fifty years for the Xiongnu to become the state capital of Dajing."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the face of the old marquis distractedly. Seeing his solemn expression, he paused for a while, and then said: "Besides, we are planning to reform the military and political system now, so why not take a step back and leave the two parties a chance to recuperate. ? If they really make them anxious, and take the opportunity to join forces with the Qiang people to invade the country, let alone change the military administration, we will suffer heavy losses if we deal with them."

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Old Hou Ye said, "What Changsheng said is indeed reasonable. Originally, the affairs of a country will not be changed just because of one person."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Dingbei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since that's the case, grandpa also agrees with my approach, right?"

The old Hou Ye didn't answer but instead asked: "Changsheng, tell me the truth. You don't advocate killing Hu Erduo, because you don't want the Xiongnu to be weak, and you want to use war to raise troops. Isn't it?"

The expression on Zhu Dingbei's face froze, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the old Hou Ye with some helplessness.

The old Hou Ye's remarks were too polite, Zhu Dingbei clearly wanted to leave a way for Zhu Jiajun.With the change of the military system, isn't the Zhu family's army the most serious attack by His Majesty?If there were no worries for the Huns, Zhu's army's position in Xianbei Mansion would also plummet.At that point, His Majesty may be the first to want to seize the military power of Zhu's army.

Raising soldiers by fighting, the stronger the Xiongnu, the more stable the position of the Zhu family's army, and the royal family had to rely heavily on the Zhu family.

But doing so would be tantamount to treason.

Old Hou Ye understood Zhu Dingbei's selfishness, but...he couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

He didn't expect that his grandson would be so indifferent to the royal family that he would even save a tiger for Dajing to protect Zhu's army.

Old Hou Ye only felt his throat dry, and he didn't feel ashamed at all when facing his grandson, but he was worried about his reaction, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Changsheng, why do you..."

Why and how, he couldn't explain.

What is it that makes Changsheng so afraid of the emperor and violates the ancestral precepts of the Zhu family.

The most important thing in Zhu Jiaerlang's life is loyalty.

Loyal to Dajing, loyal to the country, loyal to the royal family.

They should always consider what is beneficial to Dajing, and should not make such a choice for their own status and power.

Zhu Dingbei gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Grandfather, if I say that I did this not because of the military power held by the Zhu family, can you trust me?"

The old Hou Ye didn't hesitate at all, and said: "Of course, my lord believes in you. But, your thoughts are too heavy, even if there is no war, the royal family doesn't need us, we just drop our armor and return to the fields. Could it be that the emperor doesn't even have a way to survive?" Leave it to us?"

Yes, he won't.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Zhu Dingbei's eyes.

How did Zhu Dingbei get to that point in his previous life? Zhu Dingbei died and lived again, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Zhu's army adhered to the teachings of their ancestors, even if they had too much power in their hands, they never cared about power. Why would the emperor be so heartless that he would slaughter Zhu's family without confessing his crime or surrendering?

He can't figure it out.

But since he would have made such a decision in his previous life, Zhu Dingbei had no doubt that Emperor Zhenyuan would make the same choice.

He secretly calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart, lowered his eyes to hide the hostility in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Now that there is this hereditary first-rank military lord, it is not so easy to retire. What's more, without the threat of the Huns, the military Fang will definitely be deprived of power by the royal family. If things go on like this, we will prioritize civility over martial arts, so where can Dajing go?"

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If it is really comfortable, we Dajing can only go so far."

As he spoke, he let out a long breath, venting out all the stagnant emotions in his heart.

Hearing this, Old Hou Ye was startled for a while.

"You child... just think too much."

He rubbed his grandson's head heavily, feeling a little distressed that he was overthinking.

What Chang Sheng said is right, today is different from the past, if there is no Zhu Jiajun, what about the first-rank military marquis?

It was the Zhenbei Hou Mansion who had become an important official of the royal family, and it was impossible for him to withdraw as before.

"Forget it, the tiger's claws don't sharpen, and it can't even cut the leaves after a long time. When Dajing has the ability to take the Xiongnu as his own, there will naturally be descendants competing for hegemony, but it's not what we two should think about."

I agree with this.

Zhu Dingbei froze for a moment, then laughed and nodded emphatically.

The old Hou Ye was not going to let this matter go, he had already seen the sign of his grandson's extreme behavior and naturally he did not dare to underestimate it, so he took the words and asked Zhu Dingbei to copy the Zhu family's ancestral training and genealogy and send them to him in addition to practicing boxing every day. He comes from his study.

Zhu Dingbei naturally agreed.

When the old lady first heard the news, she was taken aback, and went to the housekeeper privately to ask if Changsheng made a mistake and was punished so severely by the old master.

In the hands of the Zhu family's reckless men who are accustomed to wielding knives and guns, copying the ancestor's precepts is already a severe punishment, let alone asking the grandson to copy the genealogy, isn't this secretly telling him not to forget his origin?This alone is a great punishment.

Zhu San had already thought about how to reply, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Madam, please don't worry. It was the Hou Ye who saw that the little Hou Ye grew up in Luojing, and he was afraid that he would acquire the habits of the children of the Luojing family and ruin Zhu's son-in-law. Vigorous, that's why the young master copied it."

The old lady was really relieved after hearing this, but she still cursed: "This old bastard thinks about it all day long, so he can use his energy to toss Changsheng."

Regarding the military system, the old Hou Ye sent his cronies to send a letter on a fast horse to Xianbei, but he used a war eagle to send the letter to Hu Erduo, so he arrived at the commander's account one step faster.

"Watch what happens."

Gu Chao An repeated the four words on the letter paper on both sides again and again, but for a moment he couldn't think of the intention of "waiting and watching the changes".

Zhu Zhenliang couldn't figure it out even more, "What does the old man mean to ignore Huerdo? Just let this great opportunity go, what is the old man thinking?"

Gu Chao'an thought about it and said, "Don't the commander know what the old marshal is like? If he were here, I'm afraid he would kill the Huns with his sword."

"If it's the old gentleman's idea, why is that?"

Zhu Zhenliang thought to himself, Gu Chao'an didn't reply this time because he couldn't see through it either.

Two days after knowing it, a close friend delivered the secret letter, and Gu Chao'an suddenly realized.

Zhu Zhenliang and Zhu Xiang immediately became angry after reading the letter, and Zhu Xiang shouted in a loud voice: "Dou Changdong is an old bastard, it was a waste of time for the old marshal to promote him, I didn't expect to be such a villain!"

Zhu Zhenliang's focus is no longer on Dou Changdong, but on the matter of the military system mentioned later and the three reform ideas his father said, "Military division, if we really want to reform the military system, do you think His Majesty will be the first to take the military system?" Let's use the sword?...A military adviser?"

After calling twice in a row, Gu Chaoan came back to his senses.

He stood up abruptly, clapped his fists, and said almost in a daze, "So that's how it is! That's how it is!"

Both Zhu Zhenliang and Zhu Xiang were taken aback by him, and Zhu Xiang took a step forward, so that he could subdue him first if he was afraid that he would become crazy, so that the military adviser would not hurt himself.

Gu Chaoan's face turned red with excitement, and he endured it for a while, but he didn't tell Zhu Zhenliang what he wanted to understand, but forced himself to suppress the enthusiasm in his heart, sat down again and asked, "What did the coach tell me just now? "

Zhu Zhenliang looked at him worriedly, seeing that his eyes were shining brightly, apparently still undecided, seeing him looking at him again, he had no choice but to repeat the question just now.

"will not."

Gu Chao'an's tone was firm, and he was very confident in his own judgment.

"If your Majesty wants to move, he will first move the central and southern Kyushu." He analyzed: "Although the problem is caused by the garrison in Liangzhou, the garrisons in the border states should not act rashly. The big situation will only anger His Majesty even more. In any case, to implement the New Deal, it will start with the garrison of these state capitals."

Zhu Zhenliang calmed down a bit, and asked, "Why did the military division surprise you just now?"

Gu Chao'an thought for a while, and said: "The subordinates have been thinking for the past two days, why the old gentleman asked us to wait and see the changes, but they couldn't think of the reason. Now that there are predictions of military and political changes, the subordinates will understand. "

"With Hu Erduo around, the Xiongnu will suffer even more. But because of this, within two or three years, it is impossible for Hu Erduo to successfully install a new king and control the situation of the Xiongnu. This will greatly benefit the implementation of the new policy in our army. Furthermore, this is the reason why His Majesty will not make any big moves against the Zhu family's army no matter how much he implements the New Deal. A strong enemy is right outside the door, so he can't mess up his own position first, the commander can understand the intention when he thinks about it."

Zhu Zhenliang understood, and his face showed some forgiveness.

But I don't know that the military adviser has a third benefit that I haven't finished talking about.

If Hu Erduo is not killed, the stronger the Xiongnu, the safer Zhu's army will be.

The old man must have thought of this too.Gu Chao'an thought about it, so he couldn't help looking at Zhu Zhenliang, the Zhu family is too honest, if there is no battle to fight, they don't know how the royal family will deal with it.

If there is no external trouble, there will be internal trouble.

It would be better if the Xiongnu were stronger, so that the man would not be greedy.
