A faint light soon flashed on the card, and a line of small but clear words appeared.

Han Si was shocked and said quickly: "The order from the head of the family has been transmitted."

Several generals were shocked and surprised, and subconsciously turned their heads.

After reading it, everyone had their own thoughts.

Gu Tianya's order was very simple, with only a dozen words: "Pretend to be unhappy, be filled with grievances, become unbearable, and fall apart."

Other than that, there is no content.

Han Sizhen took back the small card seriously, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, this is what we are going to do next."

Several generals looked at each other and said hesitantly: "If you have an order from above, you must obey it, but I'm just a little confused about its meaning and can't figure out who the target is."

After speaking, he hesitated again, and then said with a slight confusion: "If you look at it literally, it should be that we should target Yeon Gaesumun. However, if we think about it carefully, it seems that we should target Mrs. Jin. This order from the head of the family

, it’s really a bit vague.”

Han Si breathed out slowly and said with great confidence: "I think this order is not ambiguous. The reason why the master did not say it clearly is to train your talents."

…

In Youzhou City, the Gu family's back house.

Gu Tianya smiled and took back the small card, handed it to Zhao Ning and said: "Put it away, you won't need it in a short time."

Zhao Ning carefully put away the card, with a hint of worry on his face, and said: "The order you just gave was a bit vague. This way of giving orders is a taboo in the military, and it is easy for the generals under your command to do it.

An error occurred."

Gu Tianya nodded and said, "That's true, but I did it on purpose."

Zhao Ning was slightly startled, frowned and said, "Tell me the reason."

Gu Tianya breathed out softly and said: "As we all know, our Gu family has five great ministers. After years of hard work, everyone can do their own thing. But in addition to these five great ministers, our family also has twelve newly acquired junior ministers.

Retainers need training."

Zhao Ning couldn't help but nodded and said thoughtfully: "These twelve inferior retainers all rose up during the Battle of Goguryeo. Some of them were originally generals in the army, and some were civilians.

Fu soldiers. Although they were promoted due to their merits, their abilities vary."

"So, we need to work harder." Gu Tianya looked a little solemn.

He stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Ning's hand, and the couple walked slowly in the yard, and continued: "These twelve newly acquired retainers were all placed in Goguryeo by me. Each of them guarded a place and had an official title.

The generals protecting the border...maybe their rank is not too high, but they are actually high-ranking officials in the border areas."

"The loyalty of these twelve people must be no problem!"

"But their talents still need to be cultivated!"

"So I gave them a vague order."

Zhao Ning took over the conversation, her tone still worried, and said: "Aren't you afraid that they will understand the mistake and cause the whole strategy to fail?"

Gu Tianya shook his head slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, this situation will not happen. These people can stand out in the war not only by their bravery in battle. If they don't have a natural shrewdness, how can they be qualified to become our

A retainer of the family.”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, my order is not difficult to understand. They only need to think a little to understand it. Especially when Jin Xiaoxian continued to cholera Goguryeo, it was easier for them to understand me.

The intention of this order...since I can understand it, I will naturally cooperate with it, and this process of understanding and cooperation is the process of me cultivating them to accumulate talents."

Zhao Ning was good at the military, but not good at government affairs. He thought for a long time after hearing this, and finally gave up and said: "I am used to leading troops to fight, and I am not good at playing tricks. Just tell me what the order was just now.

intention."

Gu Tianya laughed and pinched Zhao Ning's face gently.

Zhao Ning spat and said with a slightly red face: "Let's get down to business and stop fooling around. You should go to sleep in Xiaorou's room tonight. I've been feeling a little inconvenient these days."

Gu Tianya coughed dryly and began to explain the order just now.

"The so-called pretending to be unhappy is to let them pretend to be unhappy with Jin Xiaoxian's behavior. The reason is that Jin Xiaoxian continues to cause cholera in Liaodong, which will inevitably lead to complaints from all over Goguryeo. As the generals of the Protectorate, their responsibility is to sit in charge. The so-called sitting in charge

, not only to suppress the rebels, but also to take into account people's livelihood and ensure the stability of the areas guarded."

"In this way, their responsibilities conflict with Jin Xiaoxian's actions. One side wants stability, and the other side continues to suffer from cholera. Then, they will definitely feel unhappy."

"Then there was a second order, asking them to pretend to be full of grievances..."

An idea flashed in Zhao Ning's mind, and she couldn't help but said: "I understand, this is interconnected. Jin Xiaoxian made all parts of Goguryeo complain, but the generals of the Protectorate wanted to ensure safety. However, because of Jin Xiaoxian's identity, they had no control over them.

Jin Xiaoxian's behavior can only be tolerated silently. So I feel unhappy at first, and it gradually turns into grievance."

Gu Tianya nodded and said: "This is the routine, but everything is an illusion. Both Jin Xiaoxian and the twelve protective generals secretly know that this is cooperation between each other."

Zhao Ning also nodded and couldn't help but ask: "What's next?"

Gu Tianya's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "After that, I just couldn't bear it anymore, so it fell apart."

Zhao Ning was not good at government affairs, but he was well versed in the military. His eyes quickly brightened and he suddenly realized: "The so-called falling apart is to let them put on a big show of betraying you, right?"

Gu Tianya smiled sinisterly, nodded and said: "Twelve generals rebelling together, some people hiding in the dark will definitely not be able to sit still. In the eyes of those people, this is a huge opportunity. Even Lian Yuan

Gaisu Wen can't help but take a gamble."

Zhaoning's eyes flashed and he added: "Especially, several of our children are there. If we can catch a few children in the rebellion, it will definitely make some people more confident. Although the children

They are accompanied by five thousand black armor cavalry, but those people will definitely gamble for the great cause of restoring the country. The reason is simple, this is their only chance."

Zhao Ning paused as he spoke, then suddenly reached out and hit Gu Tianya, saying: "You bad guy, you have dug a big hole. Those people don't know at all that the children are accompanied by the invincible Gu Chang'e."

Gu Tianya slowly exhaled and said: "Originally, I didn't plan to use such radical measures, but the Goguryeo people regarded benevolence as weakness."

Since ancient times, since the expansion of territory, people have been appeased by benevolent policies. This has formed a kind of inertial thinking, which makes people feel that those in power can endure anything for the sake of population.

However, many people ignore the most important point.

Only the population that is willing to submit is considered a population in the eyes of the superior. If you always harbor hatred, the superior will never see hope...
