The Prime Minister has something to do

Stay in Zhongzhong for a while and see how my Shun Dynasty army marches and fights. If you really want to join the army, it's okay, but it's a pity that Mr. Jiang is a businessman. "After that, he raised his voice and called out: "Yanhai. "

Yan Hai lifted the curtain and entered the room in response, and said salutingly, "What orders does the general have?"

Rong Jialu said: "Take Young Master Jiang to the tent next to the military governor, and then send a small soldier to command Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Sheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General." He swept his eyes over He Houhan, his peachy eyes were affectionate even without smiling.

He Houhan had a calm expression. Seeing Jiang Sheng looking at him, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and he laughed in harmony: "Mr. Jiang's arrival reminds me of the capital."

Jiang Sheng responded quickly: "In the future, we will bother Prime Minister He again."

The conversation between the two of them seemed to be polite, but actually revealed some familiarity, how could Rong Jialu not understand, thought for a while and said: "Since Mr. Jiang and the warlord are old acquaintances, the warlord will make it easier for Mr. Jiang to spend more effort. "

He Houhan hurriedly said: "You are too polite, General."

After Jiang Sheng and Yan Hai came out of the tent together, He Houhan suppressed his kind smile and said seriously, "Senior Brother, what do you think of Jiang Sheng?"

Rong Jialu spread out a sheepskin map, waved He Houhan to come over and look at it, and said: "Smart but unrevealed, unfathomable force, really outstanding, only flashy and romantic is too eye-catching."

He Houhan smiled and said, "Senior brother has a sharp eye, and Ruisheng admires it."

Rong Jialu sighed softly, "If Rui Sheng has been in my position for a few years, he will be used to seeing people."

He Houhan is the prime minister. With the emperor watching over him, he often finds it very exhausting to deal with a group of courtiers. Rong Jialu is in charge of a 10,000+ army at the border, and there are some generals of his uncle's generation under him. Now that he has taken over the military power, he has to pay several times more attention to He Houhan when he acts and employs people.

He Houhan's eyes fell on the long roll of sheepskin map unfolded in Rong Jialu's hands. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So this is the pass!"

Rong Jialu nodded approvingly and said, "I thought you had been a civil servant for many years, and you had already forgotten the land surveying skills taught by Master back then."

He Houhan shook his head, "It's true that I forgot most of it, but the legendary Devil's Plain is very recognizable. You can see that these two straight mountains are almost at right angles. It's a miracle!"

Rong Jialu was not as amazed as He Houhan was, and said with a little annoyance: "These two mountain ranges are the natural barriers for the army of Kongbei. Docile, but extremely dangerous.”

He Houhan thought about it for a while, and asked tentatively: "Although the two mountains are straight and dangerous, the Kongbei clan may not be able to please them. Our army of tens of thousands of people has also pierced these mountains. You can go around this mountain wall, but why have you stopped moving forward for so many years?"

Rong Jialu sighed again, "There is a large swamp on the left side of Tahu Lake, and it is difficult for our army to move. On the right side, the Bailu mountain wall is towering, and the soldiers of the Air Force North are stationed on it. The advantages are clear at a glance. How dare our army rush forward." , continued: "On the day of the summer solstice four years ago, the spies reported Kongbei's negligence. Our army took advantage of the opportunity and finally climbed to the top of Tahu Lake. It was really exciting at that time. Everyone felt that it was a big step towards victory. almost..."

He Houhan was listening attentively, and couldn't help asking: "What?"

Rong Jialu smiled wryly, "We saw a large lake."

He Houhan was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized that the steep mountain wall could not hold a large area of ​​water, and the Ruosheng Lake on the mountain was naturally flat. In this way, Rong Jialu led the troops to climb to the top after all the hard work, but faced him. Facing the sky, the northern troops spread out flatly, and the Tahu Mountains faced the border of the Shun Dynasty, which was very steep and difficult to climb.

Thinking of this, He Houhan couldn't help sighing: "Could this be the origin of the name of the Tahu Mountain Range? From this point of view, it is really impossible to attack. First, it cannot be attacked, and even if it is attacked, it is difficult to defend. Besides, there are mountains on both sides of the Tahu Mountain Range. The slope is gentle, the length is unpredictable, and the method of cutting through it is absolutely unworkable."

Rong Jialu also sighed, "If it wasn't so difficult, how could it be called the Devil's Plain."

He Houhan thought for a while, and said, "You can't climb from above, and you can't pass from both sides. Why don't you try from below?"

Rong Jialu got it straight: "You mean digging tunnels?" A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I've thought about it, but it's not feasible to discuss it with the generals. First, from the location of our army barracks to Considering the length and width of the Tahu Mountain Range, this project is too huge. Second, if such a big move is discovered, our army may be under the control of others. Third, even if the tunnel is dug However, the time it takes for our army of hundreds of thousands of people to pass is not an hour and a half, if the exit is blocked by Kongbei, all previous efforts will be wasted."

He Houhan's brows were knit together unconsciously, and he didn't speak for a long time, his expression was extremely focused.

Rong Jialu saw that he was lost in thought, and sighed: "I am also helpless about this. Yesterday, a general started to advocate a strong attack. With the strength of our 20 troops in the Shun Dynasty, brute force may win, but the price is too high. Not succeeding is a taboo for military strategists, so I don't agree with it."

He Houhan hummed casually, and his mind was completely out of here. Rong Jialu was familiar with He Houhan's temperament, and knowing that he was immersed in his own thoughts, he said clearly: "Ruisheng will go back today, I will After patrolling the army, I will talk to you in detail."

He Houhan hummed again, turned around and left the tent.He was absent-minded, but his expression was extremely focused, which made Rong Jialu laugh while thinking about it.

evening.

He Houhan sat in the tent all afternoon thinking hard, during which only Jiang Sheng came twice, asking where his kitchen was and what he wanted for dinner.

At this time, he was a little hungry, and he saw Jiang Sheng happily carrying a carved food box into the tent, and said as if asking for credit: "Ai Sheng came over and tasted it, I made it myself."

He Houhan glanced at him and asked, "Have you been busy all afternoon?"

Jiang Sheng neatly arranged a plate of bowls, and said: "Thanks to the presence of the guard Yan, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to enter the kitchen. General Rong has a good command of the army, which is admirable."

He Houhan nodded, and said: "Young Master Jiang has a heart, but in the future, he should do less chores. This place is no different from the capital, so you can ask Young Master Jiang to do as he pleases."

"It's really not possible, I'll build a stove in my tent." Jiang Sheng said disapprovingly, picked up a chopstick of fish meat and put it in Hehou Han's bowl, his eyes were full of tenderness, and wanted to ask Rong Jialu to see him. Need to be surprised.

He Houhan glanced at the steamed fish on a white lotus porcelain plate, and said in surprise, "I never imagined that you can eat Xiaoshui fish, a specialty of the south of the Yangtze River, in Guanyuan. How much ice do you need for this journey?" Thinking about it for a while He added: "That's right. Weihe Chambers of Commerce are all over the country, and it's not difficult to change some ice at every stop."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "Is Ruisheng worrying about me?" He seemed overjoyed, trying to suppress his laughter, and said: "I know Ruisheng loves Xiaoshui fish the most, so bring Didn’t the few dead fish disappoint AAC?”

When He Houhan heard this, he couldn't help sighing, "It's really not easy to keep so few fish all this way."

Jiang Sheng pulled He Houhan's free left hand with his hands and feet, and said in a low voice: "If Bo Rui's voice is happy, I will be willing to ask you to go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of ​​fire."

He Houhan was silent for a while, and finally nodded quickly, pulled out his hand, and began to eat food, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but look happy, and he was not in a hurry to eat, he just picked fishbone for him attentively.

After lunch, He Houhan asked, "Where are Zhuhua and the others now?"

Jiang Sheng didn't want to show off, he leaned close to He Houhan's ear and said, "Prince is in Jingliumen, Zhuhua is in Shizhou."

Empress He hurriedly asked, "Is Miss Zhuhua here?"

Jiang Sheng nodded and said: "That's right, she came with me." After speaking, Jiang Sheng showed a rare hesitation on his face, and he couldn't help asking: "Rui Sheng, I don't know if I'm delusional, I'm looking at Prince Mingqiao, how can I be with you?" How do you look alike?"

He Houhan raised his head and stared at Jiang Sheng with an extremely serious expression on his face. After a long while, he finally said in a condensed voice: "The prince is not of the blood of the emperor, but my nephew."

Jiang Sheng's face suddenly changed, looking incredible.

What does the prime minister understand (full)

He Houhan briefly explained the matter of Chongyuan. Jiang Sheng listened, his face changed rapidly, and he frowned for a long time before saying: "It seems to make sense, but it is very puzzling! He spent so much effort, How could it be so easy to give up halfway? What is the emperor's intention?"

He Houhan sighed softly: "I'm also at a loss... I hope he really does what you said—give up halfway, and don't have anything else."

Jiang Sheng stared at him, and his tone was strange for some reason: "Since Emperor Chongyuan succeeded to the throne, he has gradually balanced civil and military power, controlled family strife, promoted virtuous ministers, and had capable assistants and strong generals to guard the border. Now the officials are strictly disciplined, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. , businessmen, scholars and farmers are all thriving. It is rumored among the people that Emperor Chongyuan is the son of the real dragon who descended to the world to prosper the fortune of our Shun Dynasty, and Prime Minister He is the reincarnation of the Wenqu star to protect our emperor Xiangshun." Shaoqing said again, "Who would have expected him to be so lucky? I have this thought for you."

After He Houhan heard it, he felt that what Jiang Sheng said was obviously a tribute, but it was not too unpleasant, and he said calmly, "Mr. Jiang, why do you have to laugh at fifty steps?" He hurriedly turned around and said, "Young Master Jiang has been tired recently, why don't you go back to the account and take a rest, I have something important to discuss with General Rong."

Jiang Sheng didn't move, and left dumbfounded for a while.

He Houhan talked with Rong Jialu for half a night, racked his brains and still couldn't find a solution, a candle was burned to the end, and a bean-sized light fluttered leisurely, he
