Chapter 8 Father and son
"Oh, I'm fascinated again!"
The eighth sister exclaimed and suddenly came to her senses from the story. She was about to reach out and clean up the bowls and spoons on the table, but she was taken over by the quick-eyed exhaust wind. "Miss, this kind of thing is still done by me. It's getting late. My mother should have been busy. The exhaust wind retreated first and went to the kitchen to do something."
After the exhausting wind left, Liu Yanzhao smiled and called the eighth sister who was going to her mother's life, "Yuer, what do you think of the exhaust wind?"
"Exhaust air?"
Although he was anxious to go to his mother's side, when he heard Liu Yanzhao mention the exhaust wind, he stopped with some doubts. "Why did the sixth brother ask about this? The exhaust wind has been in the house since he was a child and has a good relationship with Xiaoyu. Especially after the sixth brother is also busy with the incident in the camp. In addition to the annoying seventh brother, the only one who can talk with Xiaoyu is the ventilation. It's done."
The eighth sister's face gave birth to loneliness that was not in line with her age. Now that the seventh brother has also entered the camp, there are even fewer people in the house who can accompany the little girl.
He took her hand with some apologies, and Liu Yanzhao winked at Ba Mei. "In this case, it's good for our mother to teach her how to learn martial arts. In this way, the fish can have more companions."
Hearing the words, the eighth sister was full of joy, "Is what the sixth brother said true? Yuer also has this idea, but she is afraid that her mother will not agree, so she has never dared to mention this matter. Now with the help of the sixth brother, her mother will definitely agree. I will tell the exhaust wind now to make her happy!"
She clapped her hands and jumped, and the eighth sister ran out. It seemed that she was really happy. Otherwise, how could she even forget about the recovery?
Looking at her happy appearance, Liu Yanzhao showed a smile at the corners of his mouth.
After Bamei left, the room became quiet again, and she simply picked up the military book in front of the case and read it. Although he has a plan to become an official, as the son of Liu Jiye, he has long been branded as a general, so he still has to master some of the art of war, and he can deal with it when he is used in the future.
There are a lot of comments on the book 'Sun Tzu's Art of War' in his hand. The handwriting is strong and powerful, and the sharpness is hidden, but it is stubborn. Liu Yanzhao, who has thought about calligraphy, immediately understands that this is Liu Jiye's handwriting.
No wonder the point of view is so thorough that it is the same as future generations.
I didn't expect Liu Jiye to be so powerful that I couldn't help admiring him. If he hadn't been killed by a traitor, with these skills, it might not be difficult for the Song Dynasty to sweep away the aliens.
"It's really not worth it to work for the Northern Han Dynasty. I have the ability, but I have nothing to do."
With a sigh, Liu Yanzhao closed the military letter in his hand. The more he read, the more he admired it. Unconsciously, Liu Yanzhao remembered the current situation again. Ma Yuan came to Daizhou City, and he led the emperor's order to observe.
Obviously, this is the Northern Han Dynasty's guard against the Liu family.
Anyone can see this. Liu Jiye must also know it. Otherwise, he would not seize the Jianxiong army at the time of trouble. In troubled times, a soldier is a king. Even if the father does not plan to divide one side, the Jianxiong army cannot stay in the hands of Ma Yuan, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger to Daizhou City.
But will Ma Yuan be so willing to stop?
To put it bluntly, this person is a second ancestor. He came to Daizhou to be the king of the earth, but as a result, he ate one after another, and he should not be able to swallow it.
It seems that there will be a storm in Daizhou City.
With his chin in his hand, Liu Yanzhao quickly calculated in his heart. He was not worried at all when he made a relationship with Ma Yuan. It was better to kill him in Daizhou City!
A trace of cruelty welled up in his heart. Liu Yanzhao made up his mind, but when he was about to continue planning, an exclamation came from his ear. He came to his senses and saw that the eighth sister didn't know when he came in front of him, and his little face was full of fear.
"Bamei, what's wrong with you?"
"Sixth brother, your appearance just now is really terrible. The fish has never seen you like that."
Bamei recovered at this time and said gently. At this time, Liu Yanzhao understood that it should have been inadvertently murderous just now that had shocked her.
He came forward and touched the little head of the eighth sister. Liu Yanzhao smiled and covered it up and said, "Just now, the sixth brother was thinking about the battlefield, that's why he was so scared our little fish. The sixth brother will accompany you."
"It's good that the sixth brother is fine, and the fish doesn't care." Holding Liu Yanzhao's hand, the eighth sister took him and walked out. "My mother asked me to ask the sixth brother to have dinner. My father and brothers are back, but the annoying guy of the seventh brother can't get out of bed. The fish will let the exhaust wind send him some food."
The little girl said naggingly, but Liu Yanzhao fell into meditation again. When Dad came back, the matter of Jianxiong Army should be solved temporarily, but I don't know if these foreign soldiers and horses are really confidants, otherwise it will be troublesome to dispatch in the future.
How to deal with this tricky Jianxiong army? Liu Yanzhao is really looking forward to his father's means.
Entering the living room, it was already full of people, but my parents had not yet arrived, so the atmosphere was quite active. Seeing Liu Yanzhao, Da Lang and other people were happy, and Sanlang couldn't help joking, "Oh, I haven't seen you for two days, and the sixth brother's injury has actually recovered. It really makes the third brother happy. There is a saying. Did you say it?"
With that, he deliberately turned his head and looked at Goro, and the latter naturally took over. "It's hard to wear because he is thick-skinned. Has the sixth brother also practiced such magical martial arts, but only used it on his buttocks? Haha..."
The two sang and made the rest of them laugh, and Liu Yanzhao naturally did not care about them, but just smiled and sat in his seat.
Seeing this situation, Erlang Liu Yanding also teased with a smile, "Some big deal has happened. Why is the sixth brother, who is usually sharp-mouthed, so silent? Is it possible to change someone at home in a few days?"
At this moment, Liu Jiye and his wife, who had changed into their casual clothes, came in. Seeing that everyone was so happy, Zhe Saihua couldn't help saying, "What are you talking about? This kind of happiness makes me and your father know it."
"Mom, they are laughing with the sixth brother. By the way, how is the injury of the seventh brother?"
Dalang hurriedly explained, but then he also asked Liu Yansi about the situation. After all, Qilang encountered this kind of thing when he first joined the army. As a brother, Liu Yanping was still a little worried.
"Qirang's body is not as good as Liu Lang, so he has to raise it for two days. Your father went to visit him just now, and it's no big deal." With that, Zhe Saihua picked up his chopsticks. "Come on, let's eat. If you are tired for a few days, it's time to make up for it. For tonight's dishes, Yun Niang and others have been working hard for a long time."
After dinner, Liu Yanzhao originally planned to rest for a while and then go back to his room, but as soon as he drank two sips of tea, the brothers were taken to the study by Liu Jiye.
He entered the study and sat down separately. Liu Jiye put his hand on the desk in front of him and did not say anything. For a moment, the study became silent.
Everyone was silent. Liu Yanzhao did not dare to say more. He looked down at the ground shrouded by the yellow halo of the oil lamp and guessed that what was discussed later should be related to Jianxiongjun and Ma Yuan.
"Dad, do you want to ask the children to come to discuss the camp?"
For a long time, Liu Yanping couldn't help asking. After all, it doesn't matter for several people to sit here.
"En," Liu Jiye whispered, "Although the emperor asked his father to lead the Xiong army, it has always been only a remote leader. Now he suddenly sent them to Daizhou. I'm afraid that some villains are secretly obstructing."
As Liu Yanzhao thought, his father is not confused. There is only one word difference between 'remote collar' and 'collar', but the meaning is very different. The remote command is just a name, so it is a transcendent move to bring the Jianxiong army under its command.
"My two generations of the Liu family have been loyal to the court. The emperor should not listen to right and wrong, and my father has already handed over the folds to the court. The border defense is urgent, and the whole team of soldiers and horses is also a reasonable thing, so the child feels that father is still relieved."
"The second brother is right, but this Jianxiong army is indeed a difficult problem. Although they were all included in the camp these two days, it may be the gap between the test that day, as if there is a big gap with the soldiers."
Under Erlang's words, Sanlang immediately echoed and put forward his thoughts. Under his words, several people turned their eyes to Liu Yanzhao, who was silent.
Seeing this situation, the latter's scalp was numb, but he couldn't complain. After all, he caused this matter. Now he coughed a few times, "Dad, brothers, maybe there is a way to solve the current problem."
"Oh? What can I do, sixth brother? Hurry up!"
Goro exclaimed with great joy, and then found that he was out of state. He hurriedly shrank his neck and stopped talking. Maybe the problem of Jianxiong Army has become a thorny matter, so Liu Jiye did not scold him. He stared at Liu Yanzhao and said, "What do you think of Liulang?"
"There is a way for the child. Whether it is Jianxiong's army or the soldiers of our state, they are all guards of the imperial court. If the two sides fight against the enemy at the same time, they may be able to have a feeling of robe."
Hearing the words, even the calm-headed Dalang couldn't help praising, "The sixth brother is a good plan. Under the external trouble, he will definitely work together. At that time, life and death will be entrusted to each other. How can there be these intrigues?"
After meditating for a moment, Liu Jiye also nodded, "It's good, but Song's attack is on a small scale. I'm afraid this running-in will take some time, and I just hope that there will be no variables."
"What Dad said is that it's better to often do some battle drills to disrupt the combination of Jianxiong Army and our state soldiers, so that the soldiers can not only be trained, but also invisibly have a running-in effect."
Erlang added that he was immediately recognized. Liu Jiye also strongly agreed that war could not happen every day, but the matter of Jianxiong's army could not be delayed and could not be mastered. This sharp blade would hurt people at any time.
We continued to discuss for a long time. When we realized it, it was almost time to arrive, and the oil lamp in front of the desk was about to burn out. Liu Jiye picked up the cold tea and took a sip. "It's getting late. Let's go back to rest. Tomorrow, we will do what we just said."
Liu Yanzhao got up with Dalang and others to go back, but was stopped by Liu Jiye behind him, "Liulang, stay."
"Go ahead and talk to your father." Da Lang gave him a look, whispered, and later left with the other three brothers.
What's going on?
Liu Yanzhao was a little uncertain, but he still stepped back into the study, "Dad, do you call the baby?"
"How's your injury?"
"The child has worried my father. It's almost done. I can go to the camp with my brother tomorrow."
"Well, that's good." Liu Jiye snorted, closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair, but said what Liu Yanzhao had been worried about.
"Ryulang, for my father, I can't figure out why he was so cruel that day. It's not like you at all."
It was still found out. Fortunately, when I was resting at home, I had figured out the right words and was prepared. At that moment, I pleaded guilty, "The child knew it was wrong, but this observation made people too much, so the child couldn't help it for a moment."
It is the best way he can think of shirking the blame to Ma Yuan. Liu Jiye is a smart man. How could he not understand Ma Yuan's intention to come to Daizhou?
At first, he wanted to take this opportunity to alienate the relationship between Liu Jiye and the Northern Han Dynasty, but after talking for more than two hours, he did not mention Ma Yuan. Liu Yanzhao understood that his father deliberately avoided talking about it.
If you want to force it back, you still need to think about it in the long-term.
Without saying anything, he was silent. Liu Yanzhao knew that his father was weighing the pros and cons, and this excuse was also a success to help him avoid it once.
"How do you think you should deal with Ma Yuan?"
Liu Jiye still closed his eyes, but the problem was much more direct. He almost let Liu Yanzhao blurted out the words at the bottom of his heart, but at the last moment, he still resisted.
To Ma Yuan, of course, he killed him. This is Liu Yanzhao's real calculation. He has inquired about it. Ma Yuan is the only son of Ma Feng, a left servant of Shang Shu. In this way, Liu Jiye finally formed a relationship with the Ma family.
But of course, this kind of words can't be said. After thinking for a moment, Liu Yanzhao gave a compromise. "I think there are two ways to do it. One is to treat each other with courtesy, but deliberately isolate him. After all, Daizhou City has always been under the control of Daizhou City. I believe that after a period of time of self-begging, he will return to Jinyang City."
"It's a way. What about the second one?"
"Second, the next time he fights with Song Bing, his father can let Ma Yuan accompany him. He is just a child of a playboy. After experiencing the cruelty and cold blood on the battlefield, I'm afraid he won't be willing to stay in Daizhou City."
"This coincides with me," Liu Jiye nodded slightly when he heard this, "Liulang, your vision has grown a lot. It's getting late. You can also go back to your house."
"The child will leave first, and Dad will rest early. Dad still needs to work hard on the big and small affairs in the camp."
He turned around and left, but when he crossed the threshold, Liu Yanzhao was called again, "Liulang, what do you think of the situation of the court?"
Liu Yanzhao stopped and hesitated for a moment, "Dad, do you want to listen to the truth?"
"Ye-huh, naturally."
"The child said what he thought directly, relying on Khitan, but for a while, he still led the wolf into the house, which was the same as selling the country by stone thieves."
After saying this, Liu Yanzhao's heart beat violently and held his breath, but Liu Jiye was not as angry as he expected. He just kept silent for a long time and sighed again, "Go back and rest!"
