Chapter 265 Song Family Discussion
For the Song family, Song Que is a good patriarch. Because of the Song family's strong strength, Lingnan was not affected by the war and was able to live and work in peace. More importantly, he has the final say in the Song family. No one in the Song family can change the decision made by Song Que, and no one dares to resist.

In the original novel, Song Shidao was madly in love with Fu Jun'er, but he dared not confess his feelings because Song Que insisted on Han orthodoxy. His daughter Song Yuhua did not like Jie Wenlong, but she did not dare to resist Song Que's decision. The second daughter Song Yuzhi was engaged to Li Mi's son Li Tianfan and Kou Zhong successively, all at the instruction of Song Que.

Marriage is the bond to maintain alliance cooperation. In Su Ming's eyes, Song Que is a better candidate for marriage. Men in their fifties are in the prime of their lives. If he can use marriage to unite Lingnan into one, then sacrificing his personal marriage is nothing.

Looking around the world, there are not many women who can match Song Que's status. There may be some among the four major families and the northern families, but they have intermarried with the Hu people and their bloodlines are no longer pure. It is better to digest them in Lingnan.

Therefore, Song Que is also a person who will do anything to achieve his goal to some extent. The advice given by Su Ming may not be a good thing for him, but as long as it is beneficial to the Song family, it is enough. He believes that if he can really accomplish the great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty, he will even sacrifice his own life!

Song Que then asked, "By the way, sir, are you married?" There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Su Ming shook his head and said sternly, "No, I am devoted to pursuing the great path of heaven and man. Romance is not what I seek."

Hearing this, Song Que couldn't help but stand in awe, even a little envious. He wished he could be alone like Su Ming, without any worries, and live a carefree life. Unfortunately, he had the burden of the Song clan on him, and he could only continue to bear this burden until he fulfilled the clan's ideals.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Big brother."

"Father!"

Song Lu and his group walked out of the yard. They first looked at Song Que, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they found that he was safe and sound. Then they turned their attention to Su Ming.

Song Que nodded slightly, "It's good that you're here. I have something important to announce. Second brother, go and gather the clan members to the hall to discuss matters. I'll be there soon."

A few people didn't understand what he meant, but they didn't dare to disobey his words. They bowed and left in a hurry.

Su Ming looked at the direction they left and understood in his heart that it seemed that Song Que's status in the Song family's hearts was higher than he had imagined.

……

An hour later, in the Song family meeting hall.

Song Que sat in the main seat at the top, with clansmen sitting on both sides of the hall. Everyone was surprised to find that there was an outsider here besides them, but because of Song Que, they did not dare to question him and just waited quietly.

Noticing the different expressions in everyone's eyes, Su Ming sat aside, calm and composed, his mind as still as a calm lake, without a single ripple.

Soon, dozens of people gathered in the hall. These people, young and old, male and female, were all core members of the Song family.

Seeing everyone gathered, Song Que said in a deep voice, "I called you all here to discuss a major event that will determine the future of the Song family."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked puzzled, not knowing why, and a tense atmosphere spread in the hall.

"The world is in chaos, and the Central Plains are full of warlords who want to fight for supremacy. As one of the four great clans, how can we fall behind? In the north, the Han and the Hu people live together. Other clans have made peace with the Hu people, but only our Lingnan lineage has maintained the orthodoxy of the Han people."

As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and stared at everyone. "I have decided to fight for supremacy in the world and restore the glory of the Han people. Do you have any objections?"

Just a few words made everyone in the Song family feel a great shock. Everything happened too fast and too suddenly!

Su Ming was sitting next to Song Que and observing very clearly. Although Song Zhi, Song Lu and others of the same generation as Song Que did not speak, they were just a little surprised and even happy to hear these words.

In contrast, the younger generation, including Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi and others, looked confused and puzzled.

Song Shidao sat in his seat in the hall, feeling puzzled. His father had just fought a big battle with that man, so why did he suddenly have such an idea? He was very confused and even didn't understand.

He really wanted to refute, but in front of everyone, he didn't have the courage to refute his father. In the eyes of the Song family, Song Que was a perfect god, and his decision would definitely not be wrong!

In the hall, an old man with silver hair and beard stood up suddenly and said in a high voice, "Brother, this should have been done long ago. The Central Plains is the land of the Han people. How can it be occupied by a bunch of mixed-blood bastards? The blood and tears of the Five Barbarians during the invasion of China were stained. How can such a shame be forgotten? Yang Jian was from the Hongnong Yang clan and was also a Han monarch. It would have been fine if he had ruled the country. Do those barbarians think that we can forget history just by changing their names?"

"When the Sui Dynasty lost its power, all the heroes chased after it. My Song family has been preparing for war for many years, just for that day. In the fight for the world, my Song family must not be absent."

Then, Song Zhi also spoke up, "Yes, this world belongs to the Han people. Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The great Chinese nation has been Yanhuang for generations. If we really let those foreign races take over the world, how will we face our ancestors a hundred years later?"

After Song Que's two younger brothers spoke up, the atmosphere in the hall became heated, and a group of core clan members also spoke up, "The head of the clan is right!"

"Master, your opinion is great. We are willing to follow your will."

……

Different voices gradually came together, and the younger generation had to follow along, and finally reached a consensus.

"Okay, as long as the Song family is united, there is no need to worry about failure in achieving our great cause." Song Que was not surprised by this result. "This person is a hermit master from the Central Plains, and he is also a master who is not inferior to my master. He has already joined the Song family. I want to appoint him as a military advisor to plan military and political affairs."

After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on Su Ming again. He stood up leisurely and saluted everyone with a fist. "My name is Su Ming. It's our first meeting. Please forgive me."

Song Zhi, Song Lu and others were a little surprised to see Su Ming. When they heard that he was going to join the Song family, they were half happy and half worried. They were happy that with such a master joining the Song family, the Song family's prestige would increase greatly. But they were worried that they had not yet found out the details of this person and did not know what his purpose was.

People are always wary of unknown things.

Sensing the different looks from the crowd, Su Ming didn't care. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush.

After a few moments of silence, Song Lu and the others returned the greeting to Su Ming, "Greetings, Military Advisor."

Su Ming nodded, then sat down without saying anything.

Next, Song Que deployed all the people in the Song family, recruiting soldiers as needed and making money as needed, each doing their own job.

When the meeting was over, night fell.

Song Que had already ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome Su Ming. The house was brightly lit, and on the table were all kinds of delicacies, with good colors, aromas and flavors. There were all kinds of flying things in the sky, running things on the ground, and swimming things in the water, which showed how much the Song family valued him.

Song Que sat at the main seat and toasted Su Ming repeatedly. Besides him, there were also older people like Song Zhi and Song Lu, as well as younger people like Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi sitting at the last seat.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Song Lu's face was red with alcohol, and he asked casually, "Military Advisor, my elder brother wants to fight for the dragon, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

At this time, Su Ming didn't know how much wine he had drunk, but his eyes were still clear. He smiled faintly when he heard this, "According to my observation, Lingnan has three advantages and three disadvantages."

Song Lu didn't take it seriously, "Oh? Military Advisor, please explain clearly."

"There are three advantages: First, the Central Plains has been hit by wars one after another, and Lingnan is located in a remote corner, so it has not been affected by the war and has preserved its strength. This is the geographical advantage. Second, the clan leader has the final say in the Song family, and the various clans in Lingnan respect the Song family as their leader, and they are united. This is the people. Third, the Song clan has me and the clan leader."

Su Ming sat next to Song Que and talked freely, his gentle voice full of confidence.

At this moment, Song Shidao subconsciously compared him with his father. He was horrified to find that the man in front of him seemed to be no less than his father. In terms of martial arts, he was better than his father. In terms of strategy, he persuaded his father to change his mind as soon as he came to the Song family, and was recognized by his father and became a military advisor. As for the military formation, it was still unknown.

As Song Que's son, he deeply understood what kind of person his father was, but it was not easy for the person in front of him to change him.

Song Yuzhi had the same idea as him. She thought her father was a rare man in the world. In terms of talent and appearance, few could match him. He was like a god. However, Su Ming's arrival broke her fantasy and made her realize that there was someone who could be compared with her father.

Song Lu then asked, "May I ask what the drawbacks are?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"The disadvantages are also obvious. First, Lingnan is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation. It is more than enough to protect itself in troubled times, but it is not enough to be used as a base camp to fight for the world. Second, the population. The Song family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the direct lineage is thin. Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, so there are not enough soldiers or food supplies. Third, the reputation of the clan leader is not loud enough to attract heroes to join. In troubled times, talent is the most important."

Everyone can clearly see the advantages of the Song family, but everyone is more or less aware of the disadvantages, but outsiders are not aware of them. However, Su Ming has only been here for a short time, but he has seen the problem so thoroughly. It is rare.

Now, they finally understood why the clan leader wanted him to be his military advisor. This outstanding insight alone was enough.

All of a sudden, Song Zhi and the others changed their previous attitude and toasted Su Ming one after another, and he accepted all of them.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded beside him, "Military Advisor, since the Central Plains is in chaos, why don't we sit back and reap the benefits? Wouldn't it be better to enter the battlefield later?"

Su Ming glanced over and saw that it was Song Shidao who spoke.

"In the world of strife, the strong will become stronger and the weak will perish. If you are one step slow, you will be slow at every step. In terms of foundation and strength, the Song family is far inferior to the other three major families. In addition, the Buddhist and Demonic sects are stirring up trouble behind the scenes and supporting various forces. If the Song family does not take the first step, how can they seize the initiative?"

After listening to this, Song Shidao seemed to understand something and said, "Junior, please accept my instruction."

Since the Song family has decided to fight for the world, he, the young master of the family, will not say anything, let alone sing a different tune like in the original novel. He is a little naive, but not stupid.

Soon, the banquet was over and everyone left.

Song Que even personally arranged a house for Su Ming, which was located right next to the knife sharpening room, which was enough to show how much he valued him.

Late at night, Su Ming sat in his room, his mind sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness:
Mirror Owner: Su Ming

World: Twin Dragons
Identity: Song Dynasty military advisor
Origin of the World: 100,000

World collapse degree: 10 percent.

Number of time and space reflections captured: zero
Number of crossings: Zero
Sensing the message from the Kunlun Mirror, Su Ming showed a satisfied smile. As expected, the gains brought by making the Song clan change its flag were greater than he had imagined. In the original novel, the Song clan indirectly supported others and was not independent. Secondly, compared to supporting Li Mi and Kou Zhong, they started the rebellion much earlier.

The Song family is well-known in the underworld. If they really get involved in this matter, they can at least attract some people to join them and make up for the shortcomings of the Song family.

This path was indeed the right one, and he had not misjudged Song Que. This man's vision coincided with his to some extent, especially in such a background.

If it were in real history, the Li family would definitely be a strong enemy, but in this time and space, Li Shimin is far from being as powerful as in history. He is far from being as majestic as a dragon and a phoenix, or as outstanding as the sun and the moon. And his father Li Yuan is even worse than Song Que.

In this case, what is there to worry about?
……

The next day.

Song Que summoned all the elders of the clan and prepared to marry and take a concubine.

Upon learning of Song Que's idea, the old man in the family couldn't help but burst into tears. For so many years, Song Que had only one son, which was far from enough in this era, because once there was a mistake, it would mean that Song Que's lineage would be extinct.

Now that he has taken the initiative to propose taking a concubine, how can people not be happy.

Half a month later, Songjiashan City was decorated with lights and filled with a festive atmosphere. Foreign merchants were confused and thought that the young master of the Song family was getting married.

But when they learned that it was the head of the Song family who was getting married, they were shocked. Everyone knew about Song Que's reputation, and his marriage was a big deal.

This time, Song Que married two families of women, one was the legitimate daughter of a branch of the Southern Chen Dynasty, and the other was a descendant of Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of Song during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

These two companies were also the ones that Su Ming personally decided on.

When the news that Song Que was going to get married spread, every family rushed to send women to curry favor with him, but neither he nor Song Que simply wanted to get married and have children.

These two families have distinct characteristics in the south. Needless to say, Liu Yu is a figure who has his own page in history books. The Southern Chen was the co-leader of the previous dynasty in the south. Although the Southern Chen has been destroyed, the influence it left behind is definitely not low.

Compared with the Song family, these two families are weak and can be easily absorbed into the Song family. The forces of various ethnic groups in Lingnan are almost the same, and only the Song family stands out. Political marriages have always been like this.

In addition to the marriage, Su Ming also passed on Wu Mu's testament to Song Que. Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry in this era was very strong. Even in the feudal era, elite cavalry had always been a powerful weapon. The tactics of using infantry to defeat cavalry recorded in Wu Mu's testament were also quite useful to Song Que.

After receiving Wu Mu's posthumous letter, Song Que secluded himself in the Modao Hall for three days and three nights before coming out.
