surnamed Wang

Chapter 800 Civil War and Military War
King Wu was indeed scolded by the princess. He rebelled against Ji Hong too early, which not only wasted a trump card, but also caused him to abandon his wife and son.

He didn't dare to talk back when she was angry in front of the princess, so he could only direct his anger at the unfortunate official who had no eyesight.

After everything was done, King Wu returned the knife to his subordinates, turned around and met Liu Mujin's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Your Majesty is so majestic. Is he treating the governor of Zhangzhou as his concubine?"

Wang Siheng hurriedly hid his bloody sleeves behind his back, and said with a smile on his plump face:

"Why didn't you say anything when your wife came here?"

"What, I disturbed the prince's elegant mood?"

"How dare you? I'm afraid of dirtying my wife's eyes."

After King Wu finished speaking, he looked at his old subordinates, his expression suddenly turned gloomy, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you clean it up quickly?"

A few people from the lowest level of Qianhu knew that the other party was blaming them for not warning them out loud, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they quickly lowered their heads and started doing the dirty work.

King Wu turned around, smiled again and said:
"Madam, the smell of blood here is too strong. Can we move to another place?"

The two walked through the streets and entered a teahouse.

Originally, the teahouse was a place for soldiers and common people to rest. When the two arrived, there was no need for the shopkeeper to drive them away, and the guests voluntarily paid the bill and left.

By the window on the second floor, Liu Mujin placed a secret letter on the table.

"Because of your incident, my brother was punished and is now under house arrest."

"That's so sorry for my uncle."

Wang Siheng said, but he did not look ashamed at all. The Wolf Guard in the capital was far more powerful than outsiders thought. If necessary, it would not be difficult to escort the Liu family out of the capital.

King Wu knew that the princess was not just looking for him for this matter. He took out the secret letter and when he saw the name inside, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Madam, you really guessed it right. This time the emperor sent Sima Kuan to fight."

"Don't be too happy too early. Sima Kuan became famous at a young age. If he didn't feel guilty because his wife had a difficult childbirth, how could he be willing to be a general soldier in Nanyang Mansion?"

"In my opinion, who should I send to fight against him?"

Liu Mujin did not reply, but looked out the window. A young man in simple clothes was eating at a street noodle stall. Opposite him sat a blind woman, whose clothes were much more gorgeous than the other man.

From time to time, the young man would give the woman meat in the bowl and whisper something, and the latter would have a happy smile on her face, adding a lot of color to her already ordinary appearance.

Seeing this scene, King Wu was slightly surprised and said:
"Madam, do you want to send Wang Xiashi to take the lead?"

Liu Mujin nodded slightly, "From Anzhou to Fan Xiong, have you ever seen him unable to do what he can?"

"It is true that he has done an extremely good job whether he is a reckless person or a general in charge of troops. I have discussed with several of his subordinates and roughly calculated his limit..."

King Wu paused for a moment when he said this, trying to pass it off. Unexpectedly, the princess was not interested at all, and drank the tea with a calm face.

Seeing that the other party didn't talk to him, the man could only laugh and continue:
"They say that Wang Xiashi's ability to lead troops is as good as when I was young. He can conquer a country with an army of 30."

"What do you think?"

"I think the same thing as them."

"You know what I'm asking." The princess frowned.

King Wu put away his indifferent expression and said seriously:

"If he can really help me win the world, as long as he doesn't have second thoughts, I will never burn bridges. He wants to be a carefree rich man, and I will protect him from generation to generation. If he still wants to lead the army, give him What’s the problem if he has 10,000+ soldiers and horses to become a prince?”

Wang Siheng spoke freely, but the princess shook her head and said:

"He is different from the others. He is not here for fame, nor will he give up the people close to him for power. You can give him nothing, but you must not touch his reverse scale."

King Wu nodded and wrote down what he said. When it came to looking at people, the princess had always been more discerning than him. Guan Xuanzai was like this, and so was Wang Yijing.At this time, the young man finished his meal, walked out of the noodle stall, raised his head, and happened to see King Wu and his wife. He waved, grinning and showing two rows of big white teeth.

……

In March, King Wu's army marched northward and arrived at Sinan Mansion.

Sinan Mansion is subordinate to Zhu Tisi. More than 200 years ago, the empress reorganized the system in the late month and added another division to the original counties, prefectures, prefectures and prefectures.

Sibifu is larger and refers to the geographical location. It is divided according to nature, economy and culture. For example, Jiangnan, which has strong financial resources, is classified as "Jiangnan Division".

King Wu just captured the Sinan Mansion in a dangerous and strategic location. Occupying this place means that he holds most of Zhu Ti. If he does not stop him, it will be difficult to deal with him after he captures the entire Zhu Ti. More difficult.

Zhuti and the southwest are both mountainous and densely forested, with abundant natural resources. They use this as a boundary to demarcate the territory and govern it. With the current national strength of the dynasty, it cannot be captured easily.

At the beginning of Taizu King Mu's reign, the eldest prince was responsible for the Nanqiang in the northeast, the second prince dealt with Hou Dachang's rebellion, and the remaining three princes attacked the southwestern chieftains.

The eldest prince was beaten the most happily, the second prince was beaten the most brutally, and the third prince was beaten the most painfully.

Traps, poisonous insects, swamps, miasma... The chieftains relied on their familiarity with the terrain to torment the imperial army. The third prince succeeded in destroying their alliance through bribery, estrangement and division, and finally defeated them one by one and captured the southwest.

Sima Kuan was very aware of the importance of geographical advantage. After receiving the Holy Order, he led his troops to the Sinan Mansion without stopping.

……

Fifty miles east of the gate of Fucheng, Sima Kuan ordered the camp to be set up. Sima Chengguang, who came with him, stepped forward and said:

"Father, can you let your child take the lead?"

The young man held a spear and looked excited. He heard that there was a great figure in the rebel army. He conquered several cities in a month and was promoted from a thousand households to a general soldier. He wanted to get to know him for a while.

For this battle, the boy specially replaced the gun tip with a brand new blue tassel.

Seeing his son's confident face, Sima Kuan asked:

"You want a civil war?"

The young man nodded and shook his hand with the blue tassel gun.

When two soldiers fight, they can be divided into civil warfare and military warfare.

For civil combat, the two sides agree on a time and place, and the teachers are well-known and do not let the pigeons go. The methods must be fair and aboveboard, and no intrigues can be used. The two sides take turns to assign combatants to compete, and the rest are responsible for shouting and watching the fun. The fighting is based on the same rules.

Later, when the Spring and Autumn Period declined, rituals and music collapsed, and no one was willing to abide by the old rules. The fighting gradually developed into the third-rate, and the most common form of military warfare was formed.

As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. In military warfare, not only are the strategies unsatisfactory, but even the soldiers' charging tactics mostly use inferior moves such as flirting and buttonholes. This is why the literati laughed at their vulgarity.

History is written by the victors. No matter how despicable the means are, as long as they win, it is the hardest truth.

Wang Siheng was a prince after all, so naturally he couldn't be compared with ordinary reckless men. He always had to look a little better before the war. If he didn't drink a toast, he would be punished with a drink.

Sima Chengguang wanted to respond to the next battle and be the leading general.

Sima Kuan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:
"You can follow me this time, but it's not the child's turn to do it in the first place. If you do, it's your father's turn."

"Dad, can you do it?"

Men are most afraid of saying no, so Sima Kuan immediately glared and said:

"You brat, you're suspicious of me before your hair has even grown?"

The young man stuck out his tongue and did not dare to reply.
