Kowloon wins

Chapter 626 What should come will eventually come ([-])
"Why did the master say such a thing?"

Even though he was blushing at the words of old master Chen, the third master still didn't want to give up his idea of ​​seizing military power, nothing else, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" is an eternal truth, even if the third master has never heard of it Having said this, the truth is understandable. At this time when the old man is getting old, whoever holds the military power will have the upper hand in seizing the heir. How can the third master be willing to take this matter so easily? What's more, the third master thinks that he also has the capital to seek military power. Not to mention the favor of the old man, but in terms of Hong Qing's prestige and strength in the new army, the possibility of winning the commander is not small, precisely because Therefore, even though he was extremely embarrassed by being reprimanded by Mrs. Chen, the third master still refused to let go, frowned, and asked a question in displeasure.

"My lord, I really want to think about why Erente suffered such a disastrous defeat. Is it because he is not good at fighting, or is it that the soldiers are useless? I am afraid that it is not the case. With the ability of a veteran like Erente, how can he not know the importance of food and road? I don’t understand that it is a big taboo for military strategists to advance lightly and quickly, but in the end, they still have to do so. What is the reason? The prince will go through the many official letters of the Ministry of War to find out the root cause, hey, left There is a strict order to attack, and the one on the right must not let the bandit army go any further, even if Erente is unwilling, how dare he disobey the order, the rapid advance of the army is inevitable, how can this battle be invincible?"

Seeing that the third master was so stubborn, Old Master Chen frowned, but instead of reprimanding him, he explained patiently, pointing out the root cause of Erente's defeat.

"This……"

The third master is not a stupid person, so he can understand what old master Chen said, although he still doesn't want to give up the fight for military power, but he can't help but feel hesitant in his heart. If you ascend to the throne smoothly, if you win the military power, but get a big defeat in exchange, the consequences will be quite unbearable. If you fail, you will lose your position as the successor who is already certain, and this is obviously not the third. The weight that the father can bear.

"No matter how hard you think about it, my lord, who controls the supply chain in this world, whether it's your lord or your little lord leading the expedition, once the food and supplies behind cannot keep up, what will happen?"

Seeing that the third master was already shaken, but still refused to let go, Old Master Chen shook his head helplessly, and made another point in an angry manner.

"Well, if so, how should this matter be?"

Old Master Chen has already talked to such an extent, and the third master is not stupid, so he can understand the key point, so he didn't insist on his own opinion, but changed the topic.

"In today's world, only the Fourteenth Lord can take on this responsibility. The candidate that His Majesty has in mind must be the Fourteenth Lord. If His Majesty asks a question, the Prince will answer accordingly. There must be no hesitation."

As soon as the third master finished speaking, Old Master Chen gave an incomparably clear answer without hesitation.

"This... the old fourteen has never led an army, so he might be better than the old thirteen?"

Although the third master has given up his desire to compete for the commander-in-chief position, but when he heard that he was asked to recommend the mortal enemy, the old fourteenth, the boss was not happy. Hundreds of thousands of troops, if they were really handed over to the old fourteen, wouldn't it be a big help for the old eight, how could the third master feel at ease, so he hesitated to choose another person.

"The Thirteenth Lord's ability to lead the army is impeccable, but if he goes, he will be defeated. The reason is the same as that of the young prince leading the army. Not only the individual soldiers, but also the moths from the second household, but the people who were mobilized by the subordinates. The general may not obey his command, there is no chance of winning, at least it is difficult to win quickly, His Majesty will definitely not agree, if the prince proposes this, he will definitely suffer a holy taboo!"

The matter is of great importance, Mr. Chen showed rare patience, and analyzed it carefully for the third master Haosheng.

"Well, what do you think of Qing'er?"

I understood the reasoning, but the third master still felt a little unwilling, but seeing that the two counselors were unanimously opposed, it was hard to stick to his own opinion, so he threw the problem to Hong Qing who was sitting silently by the side, obviously He was hoping that Hongqing could come up with a workaround.

"Father Wang Mingjian, my son thinks what the master said is true, my son has no objection."

If you want to say that you are not reconciled, Hong Qing is actually even more reconciled than the third master. No matter what, although you already have a way to deal with it, it is an army of hundreds of thousands after all, and it is controlled by an ambitious person like the old fourteen. God knows if this guy will do crazy things at that time, even if the old fourteen in the previous life didn't make any big waves in the end, the situation in this life is very different from the previous life, Hong Qing How dare you guarantee that you will be able to suppress the old fourteen to death, even if you have arranged two nails on the food road, it is still hard to be perfect, but because of the situation, even though Hongqing is unwilling, she can only be To make such a helpless choice.

"Well, that's fine for now."

This time Hong Qing also said the same thing, no matter how unwilling the third master was, he could only admit it, and after pondering for a while, he had no choice but to make a decision.

"My lord, my subordinates think that it is right to recommend the Fourteenth Lord, but due precautions are indispensable. The Northwest Liangdao and the Western Sichuan Liangdao alone are not enough. Geng Sanbiao is the admiral of Sichuan, if so, it may be possible to keep things safe."

As soon as the third master finished speaking, Li Minquan hastily made another suggestion.

"Well, okay, then it's settled!"

Although the third master is not very familiar with military affairs, he still has basic military knowledge. Although Li Minquan did not explicitly explain the beauty of this move, the third master was able to understand the beauty of it, and his stern face immediately eased Come down, clap your hands, and agree with a smile.

"Father Wang Yingming!"

Seeing that the third master finally made a decision, Hong Qing's tense heartstrings were immediately loosened, and she hurriedly expressed her praise. As for what the true thoughts in her heart are, only he can know...

"..., that's the case, sir, do you have any good strategies?"

Two flowers bloomed, one for each, not to mention that the third master was discussing matters, but said that the fourth master came out of the palace, and hurried back to his mansion, invited Wu Sidao, and talked about today's All the things that the son encountered in the palace were described in detail, and at the end, he asked for advice with a very solemn expression.

"What are your plans, my lord?"

Wu Sidao didn't answer directly, but asked back calmly.

"Well... After this defeat, the vitality of the country has been damaged. If you don't try to fight back early, I fear that the thieves will become more rampant. Therefore, I secretly thought that Huang Ama would go to the whole country to restore the morale of the people. In this way, the commander-in-chief Who has become the focus of the current court situation? There was a discussion before that the fourteenth and the thirteenth are the best, and there must be a competition between the two. More reliable."

Ever since Hongqing planned to obtain the Liangliangdao position more than a month ago, the fourth master had already guessed its motive. At that time, although he traded the Liangliangdao out readily, he was always thinking about the defeat in the bottom of his heart. Afterwards, he already had some thoughts on the way to deal with it. At this moment, he heard Wu Sidao's question, and the fourth master didn't hide it, so he murmured and expressed his thoughts.

"Oh, the prince's words are probably involuntary. Although the thirteenth master has the great talent to lead the army, the fourteenth master is also not bad. What is lacking is experience. If it was in the past, maybe the thirteenth master would have some The chances of winning, but today, the handsome position is none other than the Fourteenth Lord, and the candidate in His Majesty's heart is also the same. If the prince intends to push the Thirteenth Lord out, then he will lose his heart, and the Thirteenth Lord is also You may not be able to accept the prince's love, if so, why bother to be a villain?"

As soon as Fourth Master finished speaking, Wu Sidao sneered, and refuted Fourth Master's words back unceremoniously.

"This……"

Being refuted so mercilessly by Wu Sidao, Si Ye couldn't help but blush a little, even though Si Ye was so deep in the city, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't worry, my lord. Although the Fourteenth Lord was able to command the battle this time, he definitely caused a big wave. Not only the Third Lord must have precautionary measures, but the Eighth Lord will not take it lightly. Hey, with the Fourteenth Lord He is very ambitious, and if he leaves, he will definitely try to gather the morale of the army. If he is so organized, the Eighth Master will not be able to sit still. It would be strange if he doesn't try to trick the Fourteenth Master. At that time, the two There is no doubt that there will be quarrels between the two, and the prince's opportunity will come. However, there is one thing that must be done first, that is, the post of admiral in Sichuan must be in hand. Only in this way can the fourth master have the confidence to join hands with the fourteenth master , if Wu's predictions are not bad, the third master must also be aiming at this place, and the fourth master must make preparations early."

Wu Sidao ignored Fourth Master's embarrassment, smiled coldly, and analyzed the situation eloquently, and finally pointed out the most crucial point.

"Admiral of Sichuan? Well, if it's the case, Nian Gengyao should come in handy. It's just that it's not easy to find this job. I don't know what you can teach me, sir?"

The fourth master is a person who is sober, and he understood what Wu Sidao said as soon as he heard it, his spirit immediately lifted, and he hurriedly asked questions.

"Without him, the lord can just pay the capital directly, and I think His Majesty will make a decision."

Wu Sidao smiled confidently, and gave a straightforward suggestion.

"This……"

The fourth master obviously doesn't have much confidence, there is no one else, except for the household department, he doesn't have much say in other government affairs at all, as for the official department, he has no connections at all, it is better to save money , I'm afraid that he will be rejected directly, and at that time, he will lose all his face and face, and the fourth master will not hesitate to be free.

"My lord, don't worry. Your Majesty is an enlightened master. He has a lot of experience in the way of checks and balances. Now that the northwest grain road and the western Sichuan grain road have been given to the third master, it is your turn to be the admiral of Sichuan. The plot must be in vain."

Wu Sidao reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and unhurriedly pointed out the key point.

"Well, okay, then it's settled!"

Fourth master has always been a decisive person, once the reason is clear, he no longer hesitates, and with a high five, he has made the final decision...
