ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 335 "The Realm of Nonsense"

"I don't believe that Tubo has no food at all." The emperor roared.

"That's why I said that the emperor doesn't understand, war is different." He said anxiously.

"How is it different?"

"Hey" Ah Zhen sighed, then shook his head and asked, "Does the Emperor understand the art of war?"

"Of course I understand." Thinking that he was taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, there is no reason why he doesn't understand.

"Your Majesty's words tonight, I dare to bet with my head that you, Your Majesty, don't know anything about the art of war." He let out a lot of words.

His wild words made the emperor rush to him angrily, stare and scold him: "I will bet with you, if you don't tell me why, I will never forgive you."

"Listen, Your Majesty, you will definitely benefit a lot." After speaking, Ah Zhen said at the end: "Any method of using soldiers is to drive thousands of chariots, to ride thousands of leather chariots, to carry hundreds of thousands of armors, and to feed food for thousands of miles, so that the inside and outside The expenses, the use of guests, the materials of glue and paint, and the offering of armor and armor cost a thousand dollars a day. A teacher who has been violent for a long time is not enough for the country. If you sell expensively, the people will run out of money, and if the money is exhausted, they will be eager to serve in the hills. If you are exhausted, the Central Plains will be empty for your home. The expenses of the people will be seven out of ten; Oars, mounds and carts, six out of ten. Therefore, the victory of soldiers is more important than longevity. Therefore, it is known that the general of soldiers is the commander of the people. He is also the master of the country's safety."

His nagging made the emperor's face paler and his heart was horrified, this kid was more transparent than him.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that if you want to raise troops to fight, you need to prepare the materials, one thousand light vehicles, one thousand heavy vehicles, one hundred thousand soldiers in full armor, and transport food thousands of miles away. The cost of envoys and strategists, the cost of materials such as glue and paint for weapon maintenance, the maintenance of chariots and armor, etc., cost thousands of gold every day. Therefore, the army cannot fight for a long time when traveling thousands of miles, otherwise it will drag down the domestic economy and the country’s financial resources will be insufficient. , the army will be exhausted, its spirit will be frustrated, its military strength will be exhausted, and its supplies will be exhausted. In this way, even a resourceful man will have no good strategy to avoid danger."

"I understand what you said." The emperor is an ancient man, so of course he can understand the words of the ancients, but he is just very upset. Thinking that he was taught by a famous teacher when he was young, and he still has to listen to him teach the art of war when he is old, it is really embarrassing.

"Since the emperor understands, the emperor must also know the national strength of Tubo." Speaking of this, he immediately turned around and said: "When Tubo and Dazhou were not at peace, we fought again and again. After the war, there was a chaotic war in Dali, and the domestic financial resources were exhausted. This time, the north plan was reluctantly accepted because the Supreme King loved his daughter. Now there is no food to fight again. Although the Supreme King and Queen know that I am in Dazhou , but you can’t ask hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die in vain just to protect me alone.” What he said was reasonable and difficult to refute.

Hearing his words, the emperor calmed down his anger, "That means Tubo wants to borrow food from me knowing that you are here."

"That's right." Ah Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, think about how their great king is in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How dare they do this rashly? It must be really urgent. And what the letter said was borrowing, not asking. Tubo is not Threatening the emperor, but imploring Da Zhou, a comrade-in-arms of the alliance, to help."

After hearing what he said, the emperor thought about it back and forth, and as expected, he immediately dispelled his thunderous anger, and said with a worried face, "It's just that I don't have so much food in reserve." If it was given to Tubo, what would his millions of soldiers eat? ?
Seeing him nagging, Ah Zhen stood silently. That was something he should worry about. If he wanted Tubo to beat him, he would give food, and if he didn’t give, he would return. man.

"Lin Aiqing wrote a letter to Tubo, asking Tubo to postpone it for a few days."

"Okay." Ah Zhen walked forward with a smile on his hands and said, "Your Majesty, order someone to come over with a pen and paper, and I will revise the book in front of you, so that you won't doubt me."

The emperor blushed when he said these words, he gave him a big look and shouted: "Wang Yu!"

"The servant is here." Seeing that the quarrel in the room had stopped, Wang Huan rushed in, not daring to breathe, because sooner or later he would be frightened and fell ill.

"Take pen and ink."

"Yes."

Soon Wang Yu tremblingly held the pen and ink on the imperial desk, and stood beside him to study the ink automatically.

Ah Zhen picked up a pen and wrote: "Yingying, you can hold on for as long as you can see. The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty said that he would postpone it for a few days. If it doesn't work, you can tell the soldiers to eat weeds and gnaw tree roots. That's it. "

The emperor stood aside and saw him writing such a letter, staring in disbelief, but didn't know what to say.

After finishing writing, Ah Zhen said very loyally: "Your Majesty, it is enough for me to do this. The soldiers eat weeds and roots to satisfy their hunger. You must quickly collect food."

I think he told the Tubo soldiers to eat weeds and roots, what else could he say?Is it possible to tell him not to eat?The old man was also speechless for a while.It seems that Tubo is really short of food, but there is such a huge amount of food, grass and equipment, how can he get it?
"Lin Aiqing, let's go to bed early." It was late at night, the old man had one head and two big heads, why there were so many disturbances every day, this emperor was simply not humanly capable.

After Ah Zhen stepped out of the study room, he put on a dumbfounded face and said to Wang Yu: "Your Majesty, you really didn't understand the matter, and you actually got into such a state of anxiety in the middle of the night, grabbing me and yelling at me for no reason, you see What happened to this?" He was full of complaints.

Cold sweat slid down Wang He's forehead in a daze. Before he could speak, a roar came from the imperial study room: "Lin Azhen, what are you talking about?"

Hearing this roar, Ah Zhen shouted in horror: "I didn't say anything, I'm leaving." After speaking, he rushed to the dark garden in a hurry, and smiled secretly, "This is all my fault." Conspiracy, how?"

Seeing Da Sima running into the darkness in a hurry, Wang Yu stood at a loss outside the door, with his mouth wide open and unable to speak, a huge sweat slowly slid down his forehead.

Ah Zhen, who was wandering in the lonely inner city after leaving the palace, swayed leisurely, occasionally a carriage would speed by, and the stars in the sky were shining extremely brightly.

"The young master is back, the young master is back."

Before he reached the door, the anxious old grandpa rushed forward, weeping with joy and muttering: "Master, you scared the old slave to death."

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." He supported the old man, the manager, and comforted him with a smile.What can he do?At most, it is crippled. It is not so easy to die.

"Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen" yelled across the black screen, and two terrified figures rushed out from Da Sima's mansion.

"That's great, Brother Zhen is fine." Liu Fengyang rushed to him, clutching his arms tightly, feeling extremely excited.

Ah Zhen was dumbfounded, pointed at him and Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "Why did you come to my house?"

"Not only Fengyang and Shaoyun, but also Big Sister, Young Sister, Fu Yang and Qing Yang are here." Liu Fengyang said, gesturing to the sedan chair parked in front of the mansion.

"Isn't it?" Ah Zhen shook his exaggerated expression.

Xiang Shaoyun asked suspiciously: "Brother Zhen, where are Qianyun and Wanjun? Why aren't they in the mansion?"

"Oh." Ah Zhen was anxious to see them off, without saying goodbye to them, she smiled and mourned: "They went to Tibet to play, and they don't want their husbands anymore." I looked so pitiful.

Seeing his expression, Liu Fengyang laughed dumbly and said: "The two sister-in-laws love Brother Zhen so much, even if they don't want everyone in the world, they wouldn't want Brother Zhen."

"Good listening, I like it." He raised two thumbs up to Liu Fengyang.

The three walked in the door while talking, chattering and disturbing the quiet night.

"Brother Zhen, are you alright?" Seeing him coming back, Liu Yangyang stood up anxiously and asked.

"It's okay, I've made you worry, I'm really sorry." Said that he really made a long bow, this long bow made everyone stunned, when did Brother Zhen become more polite.

Seeing him bowing suddenly, Liu Yangyang and Liu Yingyang were at a loss, pressed their waists back and said, "Brother Zhen is broken."

"Hahaha" Seeing how charming they are, Ah Zhen laughed and said, "You have to find your in-laws quickly, and if you leave it behind, no one will want you."

Stupid Liu Yangyang saw that the gentle and polite him just now returned to his ruffian-like appearance in an instant, the contrast was too fast for a moment, and he looked at Yingyang face to face, brother Zhen took the wrong medicine?

Seeing that he was fine, Fu Yang stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Brother Zhen, what does the Emperor want from you?"

"Tubo is short of food and borrowed food, the emperor was furious." He avoided the seriousness and said lightly.

As Taichang, Fuyang was shocked when he heard the border war, and asked, "Isn't Brother Zhen the king of Tubo?"

"My great king doesn't care about things. The Supreme King and Queen are in charge. Besides, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are much more important than my great king." He said.

"Brother Zhen, is Tubo going to retreat?" Liu Fengyang felt bad.

"The emperor is trying to figure out a way. I have written a letter to tell the Tubo soldiers to eat weeds and tree roots to satisfy their hunger. The rest is up to the emperor."

Everyone in the hall's face changed drastically when they heard this, it's no wonder that the soldiers didn't rebel, is Tubo so poor?
Liu Fuyang blinked dully and said: "Brother Zhen, it's not possible."

"Why not, Tubo was already poor, and there were constant wars. First, there was a war for reserves, then there was a border war, and finally Dali was chaotic. The treasury was already empty. To be able to hold on for so long is to squeeze out everything in the country. "

Everyone he said nodded in agreement, Tubo is indeed poor, and wars continue every year.It seems that it is really the end of the mountain.

"Don't talk about it, it will be annoying." Speaking of turning around and sitting down, he took a sip of the tea brought by the maidservant, "How about Feng Yang, let's go to the outer city." Said and winked at him .The words in it speak for themselves.

Seeing his expression, Liu Qingyang jumped out excitedly and shouted, "Brother Zhen, take me with you."

"Get out, little brat, go home and sleep." Liu Fengyang dismissed Qing Yang's words very rudely, rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, what are you waiting for while Mrs. Sister-in-law is not here?"

Yang Yang and Ying Yang, who couldn't understand at first, blushed immediately when they saw his second brother being so wretched.Men are really not a good thing, they all eat from the bowl and look at the pot, even Brother Zhen is like this, how dare they get married?
Leaving as soon as he said it, except for the dull Fu Yang and the kid Qing Yang, the three big men rushed to the outer city together in excitement.

"Brother Zhen, we haven't visited brothels for a long time." Liu Fengyang remembered that he hadn't visited brothels since he was in Jiangnan.

Ah Zhen nodded excitedly: "There is a shop called Lingzui Pavilion by the Qin River, and there is a Qingguan who plays the piano very well."

What he said made Liu Fengyang and Xiang Shaoyun stunned.

"Brother Zhen, I didn't expect you to steal it too." Xiang Shaoyun said in a daze.

"Brother Zhen, how do you know? She has only been here for two days." Liu Fengyang had been there earlier, she looks good, but she doesn't sell herself.

Ah Zhen was dumbfounded by Liu Fengyang's words, "What? Have you been to Fengyang?"

"When this gentleman first came, I happened to be in the cabinet." He evaded the important thing and said lightly, of course he didn't talk about spending a lot of money to win the cabinet's personal welcome.

"Okay, let's drink while listening to her playing the piano." Speaking of which, pointing to Liu Fengyang, who is rich and powerful, he said: "Please."

After his words fell, Liu Fengyang immediately yelled, "Brother Zhen, why do I invite you every time?"

"Who told you that you are rich and powerful." He said after thinking for a while, and then shouted, "I haven't paid you just now?"

Hearing what he said just now, the two yelled in unison: "What? The guards of the Forbidden Palace couldn't find you just now, are you in a brothel?"

"Hush!" Ah Zhen made a silent gesture, "It's late at night, don't say it, let's go."

Sure enough, what he said immediately made the three of them rush towards the Qin River in shock. It doesn't matter what they say now, the most important thing is to visit brothels.

Soon three old perverts broke into the Lingzui Pavilion.

Seeing that it was Erye Liu who came, the old bustard rushed over excitedly, "Liu"

Her second master hadn't yelled out yet, but she stared at her terrified eyes, knelt down and kowtowed in trembling, "The villain kowtows to Da Sima." Just now many imperial envoys came to him, almost frightened her to death, Unexpectedly, he came again.

"Get up." Ah Zhen pulled her up and whispered in a low voice: "Treat me as an ordinary guest, don't let people know that I'm here to visit the brothel."

"Yes yes yes" Da Sima's visit to the brothel is indeed not very glorious.But does he need to visit brothels?I heard that all his wives are fairies, and there are so many women who worship him, as long as he says a word, how many women would he want? No!There are quite a few in her family who are obsessed with him.

"Quickly prepare the wine and food, and ask Yue to come over and play the piano." Liu Fengyang was rich and powerful, and immediately threw a sliver of gold over.

"Okay, big uh! My sons and gentlemen, come upstairs and invite them." The old bustard greeted them personally, and led them to the most high-end room. Her small pavilion is going to be very popular, and even Da Sima will come to visit, so it is impossible. It's done.

Soon, countless maidservants were holding exquisite snacks and tea, and placed them on the huge low table.

The bustard didn't have the heart to pay attention to the guests, so she greeted the uncle sitting on the soft couch with a smile and said, "Three gentlemen, let's have some snacks first, the servants have already asked the cooks to prepare wine and dishes."

"Bring ten dice, and then two dice cylinders." Ah Zhen ordered.

"Yes" the bustard took the order and left immediately.

Liu Fengyang and Xiang Shaoyun heard him say that he wanted to play dice, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Zhen, do you want to gamble?"

"No, we are fighting for intelligence." After speaking, he smiled mysteriously: "I will teach you to play an intelligence game later."

Soon the bustard brought dice and dice cylinders.

Ah Zhen took it, put five dice in a dice cylinder, and then began to tell the rules to the two ancients, "One can be cheap, if you shake it to five, it is a big leopard, if you roll it to four, add one more." One point, that's Little Leopard."

Liu Fengyang and Xiang Shaoyun were no strangers to gambling, so they nodded in understanding.

"Okay, then what we want to play now is to look at our own points, and then guess the opponent's points, the snake will be zero, understand?" It's very simple, you should be able to understand.

Liu Fengyang listened to him talking about these rules, nodded and followed him excitedly, threw five dice into the dice cylinder, shook the lid and said, "Brother Zhen, what do we do now?"

"Of course it's calling points." Ah Zhen said and immediately shouted: "Four threes." He had four threes in his hand.

Liu Fengyang thought for a while, "Three six."

"No, I have already shouted four threes, you can call four fours, four fives, four sixes, or more than five." He continued to teach.

"Okay, then I'll call four sixes." He had four sixes in his hand.

"Five and six."

"Six six."

"Open." Ah Zhen opened the dice cylinder with a sinister smile, one six, one one, and one can be used as one, so there are two sixes.

Liu Fengyang frowned and opened the dice cylinder, four sixes, one five, looked back and forth, and happily asked: "Brother Zhen, if one can be any number, then I won, right?"

Ah Zhen nodded with a dark face, I'm going to go, I lost to an ancient man who just learned, Jiang Dong's father was ashamed to see him.
