Huang Shaohong was not interested in what Li Mu said at all. For him, with flying carpets and machine guns, he didn't care how many enemies came. The arms purchased in the world of "Once Upon a Time" were enough for him to fight several large-scale wars in this era.

What he cared about was the value of Li Mu, a famous general throughout the ages, so when Li Mu was thinking about the future results with excitement on his face, he unreasonably took advantage of his impassioned and agitated mind to give him various psychological hints and psychological suggestions.

guide.

Li Mu is different from Xiao Cheng. He is a general with an extremely tenacious will. With Huang Shaohong's level of hypnosis, if he is hypnotized directly, he will definitely fail and be noticed by him.

This kind of psychological suggestion and guidance is different. Although it cannot be effective immediately, in the long run, even if Li Mu's heart is as strong as iron, it will be affected subtly. As time goes by, it is inevitable to be loyal to him like Xiaocheng.

thing.

It was already evening when we drove back to Handan. Xiang Shaolong frowned in the carriage and said:

"I always feel that Li Mu still has reservations about you and me. When he said that Lian Po returned to Handan, he said it lightly, but what kind of person is Lian Po? We have changed the dynasty of Zhao State. We are afraid that the return of this eternal famous general will cause a stir.

Storm!"

Huang Shaohong, however, was indifferent: "When I first studied history, I once lived through Lian Po's life because of the allusion of 'bearing a thorn to plead guilty'..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Shaolong asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Whose mother is Du...?"

Huang Shaohong then remembered that when Xiang Shaolong traveled through time, let alone Du Niang, he had never even seen a penguin.

He roughly explained the meaning of Du Niang, which shocked Xiang Shaolong and exclaimed: "High technology!"

Huang Shaohong ignored this bumpkin who was more than twenty years behind, and continued:

"I found that Lian Po is good at adapting and is not as loyal as Li Mu. He later defected to Wei and Chu successively, so as long as we have an absolute advantage and prevent him from seeing any hope of making a comeback, he will not make any changes.

....."

Having said this, Huang Shaohong patted Xiang Shaolong on the shoulder: "You guard Handan City and control 20,000 forbidden troops. When Lian Po returns to Handan, you only need to close the four gates and let Lian Po enter the city to pay homage to the emperor.

That’s it, I think this famous Warring States general who is also famous throughout the ages will make the right choice!"

After the two discussed it, the car was approaching the Dragon Palace. Huang Shaohong suddenly remembered that he had to attend Zou Yan's banquet invitation tonight, so he asked the car driver to divert to the mansion of the great scholar Liu Huasheng.

When the car arrived in front of Liu's mansion, there were more than ten gorgeous carriages parked in front of it. It seemed that the two of them arrived too late.

After the coachman came forward to pass the news, Zou Yan and Liu Huasheng, a great scholar from the State of Zhao, came out hand in hand and said: "Greetings to the Grand Master!"

The two of them were about to bow down after saying this, obviously knowing what happened in the court today.

One of these two people is a great Confucian from the State of Zhao, and the other is a master of metaphysics who is well-known in various countries. They are both people with aloof status. This worship is just a show. Others would have rushed to support the two of them.

But Huang Shaohong saw that Liu Huasheng had a disapproving expression on his face when he looked at him before, so he did not help the two of them. After the two of them bowed to the ground, he stepped forward and said helplessly:

"Both of them are famous people today. I don't dare to pay homage to them!"

He said it beautifully, but his outstretched hand didn't move very much. Zou Yan and Liu Huasheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts. They were doing the same thing, and others were doing the same.

Zou Yan and Liu Huasheng bowed to Xiang Shaolong, the new city guard, and then invited them in for the banquet.

The banquet was held in the banquet hall of the Liu Mansion. There were more than 20 banquets, with two seats for the main seat and seats on the left and right, filling the entire hall.

At this time, many people had come to the banquet, including Zou Yan and Ji Yanran, the most talented woman in the world, and all the leading figures in Handan were present.

In addition, the envoys of the Six Nations who were held as hostages in Handan were also invited to the banquet. Although they were held as hostages, they were not prohibited from attending the banquet. They only had to report to the Forbidden Army guarding them, who would be dispatched by the Forbidden Army.

Drive and escort them to the banquet location.

Of course, there will definitely be imperial guards around to prevent these people from taking the opportunity to escape.

As soon as Huang Shaohong and Xiang Shaolong came in, everyone stood up and bowed at the same time: "Meet the Grand Master!"

Both the Zhao people and the envoys from the six countries here had seen with their own eyes the methods of the current Grand Master, and naturally they did not dare to treat him lightly.

Huang Shaohong saw that Wu Yingyuan and Guo Zong were also there, and nodded towards them: "Mr. Wu and Mr. Guo are also here. Animal husbandry and iron smelting are the pillars of the country. I will need more help from these two in the future!"

Wu Yingyuan and Guo Zong were all smiles and didn't even dare to say anything, but everyone could see the joy between their eyebrows.

Huang Shaohong glanced at everyone present. The people from the Zhao country looked at him with admiration, while the envoys from the six countries looked at him with different expressions.

Han Chuang was frightened and flattering, Li Yuan was calm and showed a hint of hatred, Xu Xian, a veteran of the Qin State, was unpretentious and too lazy to say anything, while Long Yangjun, who was famous for his masculine style, was furious with him.

With winking eyes.

Huang Shaohong suppressed the feeling of nausea and did not look at Long Yangjun. He smiled at the others and said, "Mr. Zou is hosting a banquet today. You don't need to regard me as the grand master. Just feel free to do whatever you want!"

After saying this and laughing, under Zou Yan's personal guidance, he and Xiang Shaolong sat directly on the right side, in the first seat.

In ancient China, the right was respected. The first seat on the right hand side of the host was reserved for the most distinguished guests. Today, Huang Shaohong has the highest status, so he should sit here.

And since there were two seats arranged today, that is, two people could sit in one seat, Xiang Shaolong happened to sit with him.

Huang Shaohong's seat was occupied by Wu Yingyuan and Guo Zong. Xiang Shaolong first paid homage to his father-in-law Wu Yingyuan and then greeted Guo Zong before sitting down.

Guo Zong smiled at Huang Shaohong and Xiang Shaolong and said, "I heard that when Miss Yanran was in Daliang, she loved to talk about literature, martial arts, and world affairs with young gentlemen and scholars who came from all over the country.

Jun, you must seize the opportunity, maybe you can even win the favor of the talented girl Ji!"

This Guo Zong is old-hearted. After saying these words, he raised his eyebrows and showed a look that every man knows.

Huang Shaohong smiled and said nothing, while Xiang Shaolong did not want to talk about such a topic in front of his father-in-law.

There were two seats at the main table. Zou Yan and Liu Huasheng sat at the same seat. After the banquet was announced, Ji Yanran, dressed in a snow-white dress and with a stunning face, appeared, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

It seems that the other separate seat on the main seat is reserved for this talented woman.

Ji Yanran looked around everyone with a smile, her black and white eyes were clear and hazy, and even Huang Shaohong felt ecstasy. The fragrance of her body after bathing was even more fascinating.

I saw Ji Yanran slightly blessed: "Yanran is late, please forgive me!"

After her soft words came out, those who originally had objections to her late arrival waved their hands and said, "Ms. Ji's words are strong!" Listening to her tone, they seemed to think that she was justified in coming out at this time.

It should be the same.

Huang Shaohong was also moved by Ji Yanran's beauty just now. His heart beat strongly for a few times at that moment. He couldn't help but scream inwardly. The other party's beauty and demeanor almost caught up with the beauty skills. Even he had been trained by the thirteenth aunt and so on.

People who have been tested by beauty can also be a little overwhelmed.

Turning to look at Xiang Shaolong, he saw that this guy's eyes were blurred and his saliva was about to flow out, so he secretly gave him an elbow to wake him up immediately.

When the servants of the Liu Mansion served the food and wine, Zou Yan first raised a glass of water and wine and said to everyone: "Let us first toast to the Grand Master and congratulate him on his promotion to the top of the three princes!"

Everyone present immediately joined in the toast and toasted to Huang Shaohong.

Huang Shaohong picked up the wine glass and took a sip, smiling: "Thank you all!"

Zou Yan couldn't tell his mood, so he changed the topic and began to ask everyone about their views on the general trend of the world and the best ways to govern the country and the people.

Many people present came here specifically for Ji Yanran. Apparently, they had already inquired about Ji Cainv's preferences and made some preparations before coming.

At this time, these people not only wanted to win the favor of the beauty, but also wanted to show their talents and learning in front of the new grand master, so they talked about their own opinions or the opinions they heard from others at the banquet.

Regarding the general trend of the world, everyone was surprisingly unified and believed that the six countries should be united to control and strengthen Qin.

Huang Shaohong wanted to laugh, but the famous Qin general Xu Xian was sitting on the opposite table. These people began to discuss how to resist Qin in front of others, making the Qin veteran general look bad the whole time.

After talking about the general trend of the world, he also talked about the strategies to govern the country and secure the people. During the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended. These people's methods of governing the country and securing the people were more or less influenced by the theories of a hundred schools of thought.

Some people think that we should govern by doing nothing according to the teachings of Lao and Zhuang, while others say that we should follow the teachings of Legalism and use heavy codes to govern the country.

The Confucian school headed by the great scholar Liu Huasheng believed that the country should be governed by virtue and the people should be influenced by virtue.

After all these people had finished speaking, Zou Yan began to instill in everyone his "Five Virtues Theory".

It is said that everything in the world, historical changes, the rise and fall of dynasties, cannot escape the cycle of the Five Elements.

Regardless of the general trend of the world or the governance of the country and the people, we should understand the principle of the alternation of the five virtues. Only those who understand the principles of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can grasp the movement of heaven, grasp the general trend of the world, and thus govern the country and its people.

The Qin State was governed by Legalism, but Xu Xian did not believe in the Five Virtues and immediately asked:

"Although Mr. Zou is a great talent, the theory of the rotation of the five elements is ultimately illusory. If we accept the destiny, then we should just do nothing and wait for the destiny to come!"

Zou Yan laughed and said: "Of course not. As long as we can grasp the way of heaven, we can predict personnel affairs and know the goal and direction of our efforts. For example, digging a well. Only by knowing the location of the water source can we avoid wasting our efforts."

When he said this, many people nodded, thinking it was very reasonable.

Xiang Shaolong has received modern education, so he naturally thinks that Zou Yan is an old liar and a swindler.

He was the guardian of Handan City and had a beautiful wife and concubine at home. It was when he was satisfied with his ambitions. At this time, in front of a peerless beauty like Ji Yanran, he subconsciously wanted to express himself and used various views from later generations to argue with Zou Yan on the spot.

Debate.

For modern people, the theories of later generations are principles that everyone knows, but for people of this era, they are unheard of and extremely fresh. However, if you think about them carefully, there are some thought-provoking principles contained in them.

The debate between Xiang Shaolong and Zou Yan aroused the interest of others, and they joined in one after another. Even Ji Cainv occasionally asked a question.

In the end, Ji Cainv took a new look at Xiang Shaolong and even asked his name, only then did she know that this was the new city guard.

Huang Shaohong did not express an opinion in the debate. He focused more on the food and wine in front of him. Although the food made in this era was lacking in cooking methods and had few condiments, the advantage was that the ingredients were fresh, pollution-free and pure green.

food.

The essential taste of its ingredients is beyond the reach of modern food.

As a grand master and a god of swords, Huang Shaohong had a transcendent status. Therefore, even if he only immersed himself in eating and drinking and did not participate in the debate, no one would dare to say anything, and no one would show dissatisfaction or disdain for this.

Ji Yanran glanced at Xiang Shaolong, then looked at Huang Shaohong, and asked: "May I ask, Master Taishi, what do you think of the opinions of the gentlemen? Which one should be adopted to govern the country to achieve long-term peace and stability?

Woolen cloth?"

Ji Yanran's question was interesting. Huang Shaohong had just been named Grand Master and Prime Minister of the government, so the speaker may not have meant it, but to others, it sounded like he was trying to test himself.
