There are people watching on both sides of the sand table, each with a thoughtful look and different expressions.
Zhou Zheng's Dragon Banner is lonely and deep, although it seems ferocious, it is actually isolated and helpless, and he feels'waiting to eat'.
And Lu Xiangsheng's black flag wandered around the periphery, not far or near, but he could counterattack at any time, and the scattered pieces actually became a kind of encirclement.
Therefore, who has the upper hand in this game of chess, and who will win in the end is still between the two.
Lu Xiangguan and others looked at Zhou Zheng, not daring to speak, even holding their breath.
They have all noticed that Zhou Zheng actually wanted to expedite the Northern Expedition, while Lu Xiangsheng firmly opposed it.
The two people's intentions were vividly revealed on the sand table.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the sand table and couldn't continue the deduction. He raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng who was still staring at the chessboard in silence, and said: "I know you are impatient, but I think you are burdened too much, and you can’t breathe. Relax, Jianlu has been meat on the chopping board, five years, at most five years, I will help you calm down!"
In this case, it is no longer the words of the inferior, but the advice of an old friend for many years.
Lu Xiangguan was startled and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with some anxiety.
He knew that Lu Xiangsheng had always wanted to keep his distance from Zhou Zheng. This idea was not to protect himself or pretend to be arrogant, but that he did not want to put unnecessary pressure on Zhou Zheng.
Their Lu family owed Zhou Zheng a lot, and almost all of the lives and future of the Lu Xiangsheng and others came from Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng remained silent about Lu Xiangsheng's words and kept deducing in his heart.
This kind of sand table deduction is only a strategy and tactics, and what it is depends on the actual results, but Lu Xiangsheng is really right.
He has too much pressure, forcing him to want to settle the prisoners as soon as possible, so that he can devote himself to the reform and reform of the country. This is his heart disease, even if the prisoners are very weak, he still dare not care about anything.
If this side trouble is not relieved, he will always stay in his throat and it will be difficult to calm down.
For a long time, Zhou Zheng let out a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "How long will I have after Ning?"
Lu Xiang watched the sky outside his eyes, quickly answered, and said, "At most half an hour."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I'll take a bath and take a break. If I arrive early after Ning, Jian Dou, you will pick it up for me."
Lu Xiangsheng responded, looking at Zhou Zheng's back, feeling a little dignified.
Obviously, he still failed to convince Zhou Zheng.
Lu Xiangguan glanced at Liu Liuzhe who went out, and Zhou Deshun, who was still lying on the edge of the sand table, whispered: "Brother, Duke Dingguo, is this made up?"
Lu Xiangsheng sighed lightly and said: "He has his considerations. From a high point of view, we are actually a little narrow."
Lu Xiangguan nodded his head seriously, agreeing: "Dingguo's station is high, and there must be more considerations than us. However, Dingguo really decided to expedite the Northern Expedition, what should we do?"
Lu Xiangsheng furrowed his brows and looked outside. He didn't notice that Zhou Dezhen had raised his head, staring at him with scorching eyes, and his ears almost stood up.
For a while, Lu Xiangsheng said: "If he decides, we can only do our best to make the Northern Expedition, what else can we do."
In his heart, Lu Xiangguan didn't support the Northern Expedition very much, but he respected Zhou Zheng very much. Since Zhou Zheng was determined to make the Northern Expedition, there must be his last resort. Of course, they must fully support it.
When Zhou Dezhen heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, he bypassed the sand table and came to Lu Xiangsheng, and said, "Master Lu, can I be a forward? It's not that kind of forward, it's in the forward."
Lu Xiangsheng was startled, looking at Zhou Deshun, who was excited and wide-eyed, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Tell me, is your second uncle determined to expedition to the Northern Expedition next year?"
Zhou Dezhen recalled, and said: "No, as far as the end general knows, Jiang Shangshu from the Ministry of War, Sun Shangshu from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Noble Book from the Ministry of Households, and my father are all opposed, and the second uncle has not been able to speak."
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while, and then smiled suddenly: "If it is the Northern Expedition in the future, your father and your second uncle promised you to stay in Liaodong, and I will let you be a striker."
Lu Xiangguan coughed suddenly, winking at Lu Xiangsheng again and again.
This is the eldest son of the Zhou family. Dingguo's travels from north to south with experience, clearly focused on training, and the Northern Expedition is so dangerous. If anything happens to this eldest son, no amount of credit will be worth it!
Zhou Deshou didn't think about it. He knelt on one knee fiercely, and said: "The last general takes the order, thank you, Master!"
Lu Xiangsheng saw that Zhou Dezhen had no arrogance, smiled satisfied, got up and walked outside.
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's departure, Zhou Dezhen thought about it, and suddenly ran to Zhou Zheng's room.
Zhou Zheng was lying in the tub, closing his eyes and thinking, suddenly he felt a towel draped on his shoulders and rubbed him, he couldn't help but turn his head to look.
Seeing Zhou Deshou smiled, "Second Uncle, I will rub your back for you."
Zhou Zheng sat up with a smile, leaving his back to him, and said, "It's useless to convince me. You know your father's temper. If he gets angry, I can't help him."
Zhou Deshou wiped Zhou Zheng's shoulders hard, and said, "Father, I'll go and say, Second Uncle, as long as you promise me to stay in Liaodong, it will be fine."
Zhou Zheng put his hands on his knees and said, "Did you think of a way?"
Zhou Dezhen said, "When I return to Beijing, I will go to Tianjin Wei and stay with my grandfather for a few days. As long as my grandfather speaks, my father will definitely not object."
Zhou Zheng hummed twice and said, "Your kid has caught your father's weakness."
Zhou Fang admits to death, but he is also quite filial. If Zhou Qingli speaks, Zhou Fang would be fine.
Zhou Deshou chuckled and said, "Second Uncle, I want to transfer the Boy Scouts here. It doesn't need to be too many, only a hundred people. One day in Liaodong is better than they stay in the camp for a year."
Zhou Zheng already knew this guy's mind, and he deliberately tempered him, saying: "I can tune it for you. If your kid gets into trouble here, not only will Lu Jiandou won't sell my face, he will have to be punished severely. You have to think about it. "
Zhou Dezhen didn't care at all, and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, I won't lose your face, Shenyang Chengtou, I must be the first to board."
Zhou Deshun was only fifteen years old, and it was impossible to participate in a severe battle. Hearing what he meant, Zhou Zheng moved slightly in his heart, turned his head, and said, "Do you kid think that I will not expedition to the North next year?"
Zhou Dezhen seemed to have not heard it. He rubbed Zhou Zheng's back vigorously and said, "Second Uncle, do you think I can go up? I heard that Jianlu is very difficult to fight. You had to fight hard to win. It hurts you more than half..."
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "To be honest."
Seeing Zhou Zheng's seriousness, Zhou Dezhen had to say: "Second Uncle, if you make up your mind, the sand table deduction just now won't be like that, you must have won the game simply."
Zhou Zheng raised his brows, and he was surprised.
Although he desperately wanted the Northern Expedition in his heart, he was actually hesitant. He was very clear about the current situation. The reason for the sand table deduction with Lu Xiangsheng was actually a kind of concession to persuade himself to give up the Northern Expedition
Then he frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "You kid is smart."
Zhou Deshou rubbed his back vigorously and said: "Anyway, no matter what, I will be a forward."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go, fetch my clothes, and later follow me to see Ning finish me, and then go to Shenyang on my behalf." (End of this chapter)
