"Do you know why I came to you?" Suning squinted his eyes and looked at Meng Yu sitting opposite him.

"I don't know." Meng Yu sat opposite Suning, lowered her head, and looked directly at her hand holding the kneecap. The doubts and tension in her heart were naturally self-evident. After so long in the military academy, she finally faced this legendary figure for the first time, facing the legendary figure directly, or a secret meeting of one-on-one, absolutely confidential, and there were special people guarding it outside.

Meng Yu was naturally worried and nervous when he was doing this. He was deeply shocked by Suning's daimyo for the first time he heard it. He burned down 30,000 Turkic troops in a fire, and defeated the entire eastern Turkics with his own ability. He captured all the eastern Turkic royal families and senior leaders from the eastern Turkic Khan, as well as a large number of people, cattle, sheep and horses. The entire eastern Turkic were wrapped in dumplings and destroyed.

After this war, the superpowers that stood together with the Tang Dynasty no longer existed, and the balance of strength in East Asia was broken. The Tang Dynasty stood tall in the east of the world as a superpower, establishing a superpower pattern similar to that of the United States during the period of power. Although there were many powerful countries around, no one dared to flirt with the tiger beards of the Tang Dynasty... No, there was one, Huxue tribe.

Then the Huxue tribe was finished. Because of the retaliatory blow of the Tang Dynasty that was absolutely different from the past, it killed more than 100,000 people of all ethnic groups. It established a terrifying Jingguan at the former site of the Huxue tribe. Then, more than 200,000 people, regardless of gender, age, were brought to the Tang Dynasty, and began a tragic life of slavery. It was forced to carry out a way of survival called labor reform. It is said that there was a chance to become a free citizen of the Tang Dynasty, but the chance was slim. However, some people succeeded, so all the prisoners yearned for it...

Moreover, in the battle to pacify Huxue's troops, the Western Turks sent troops to intervene, and were instigated by the Marquis Su, the founder of the labor reform policy. Later, the Western Turks' former regime was overthrown and killed the former Da Khan Siye Hu Khan. He supported the moderate representative Ashina Nishu, who was close to the Tang Dynasty, and successfully made the Western Turks surrender to the Tang Dynasty. With less than two thousand soldiers, he subdued another powerful country that could compete with the Tang Dynasty face to face.

The hegemony system dominated by the Tang Dynasty in the entire East Asia began to form. The two Turks who could insult the Tang Dynasty were killed, one was gone, and the other became vassal states. They paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty and opened a mutual market. The Tang army was stationed here, and the so-called embassy of the Tang Dynasty was also present. This was the first time that the fashionable and leisurely Meng Yu did some homework. Then he realized that this was a deed of ghosts and gods.

Not to mention the benefits brought to the Tang Dynasty after the trade caused countless merchants to compete for the quota of Western Turks. Even if the troops were stationed near the Western Turks royal court and set up an embassy dedicated to managing all things in the Western Turks, this is a good way to interfere in other people's internal affairs. More importantly, when Marquis Su used two thousand troops to subvert the Western Turks Khan, now there are three thousand tiger and wolf troops next to the royal court. If there is a slight movement, you can send troops instantly. Isn't this a sword hanging on the forehead of the Western Turks?

After the chaos and great damage to the vitality of the early Zhenguan years, the Tang Dynasty gradually recovered. The large amount of benefits seized from foreign wars led to the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty. A large amount of strong labor obtained from the labor reform policy was invested in corvee service, exempting local people from corvee service, allowing the people to work hard and resume production. Since the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty's grain output has increased year by year and harvested year by year.

Moreover, the people and officials of the Tang Dynasty were full of favors for the labor reform policy and repeatedly asked the Tang Dynasty to launch wars to capture slaves to support the continued labor reform policy. They also seized the wealth of foreign tribes, signed treaties like Western Turks, opened trades, and made a fortune. Now the three words Western Turks have become synonymous with wealth in Chang'an City. Once they can get the opportunity to do business in Western Turks, merchants will burn incense and worship their ancestors. Therefore, many bachelors who eat one person and are not hungry are preparing to form a group to go to Western Turks to do business.

The Tang government disagreed with this kind of behavior and did not object to it. It only limited the number of people. It only allowed ten regular businesses and thirty private caravans to go to the Western Turks to do business in a year. Moreover, if there were illegal acts in the Western Turks, it would be investigated and punished immediately. The specific responsible department was still the Zonghengsi established by Marquis Su, and the embassy was also under the jurisdiction of the Zonghengsi. For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor even weakened the power of the Honglu Temple, and handed over the entire thing over the Western Turks to the Zonghengsi, which openly challenged Confucianism.

Meng Yu felt that this Marquis Su was unfathomable. Since he emerged in the fourth year of Zhenguan and destroyed the Eastern Turks, he took every step forward and laid a solid foundation for himself. Before he became a formal court official, he had already encouraged the emperor to establish a military university outside the court and held the position of priest Sima. He actually occupied a considerable part of the power. Once he spoke, the military university had not failed to do what he said.

This is Meng Yu's personal experience as a student of the Military University. From its establishment to the present, all of the military university have been planned by Suning. The military university has tied up a large number of generals and included a large number of children from the generals. Therefore, the military university is a huge chariot, an unshakable military chariot with complex relationships. Even if it offends an ordinary student, it must take into account his roommate and his roommate's friends. It may be a family of generals. These little guys are hugging each other and hurting one, which means they can't get along with a group of people...

The further you go, the less you can move the military university...

Because I was injured at that time, I couldn't get along with an army or even a hundred thousand troops. Who knows who his teacher was? Isn't it just a slap in the face if I hit my apprentice? Is it still profitable if I lose money, how can I get back if I lose face? Military University is a hedgehog, a huge hedgehog, with sharp thorns all over. Once I encounter damage, my whole body is tightened and my needles are erected, and I am no longer an opponent...

Is this what Mr. Su intended?

As a general, Meng Yu certainly knew the background of Zonghengsi. There were many children of aristocratic families in Zonghengsi who held positions and studied. There were even a group of relatively excellent ones who had been sent to the Western Turks to train. These families obviously had regarded the Zonghengsi as their second path. If Confucians wanted to do it again, it would not be so easy. Moreover, the first caravans that went to the Western Turks to make huge wealth, except for a few large private businesses, were all family caravans of the generals!

In other words, the entire Western Turkic business plan is the money cow of military generals. Suning itself is also a great beneficiary. Zonghengsi has full control over everything about rare earths, so it has become a protector of the interests of the military. Suning is equivalent to putting the new Zonghengsi and Zonghengsi under the protection of the military, making the military a protective umbrella for the Zonghengsi. Once Confucian attacks Zonghengsi, it is actually equivalent to declaring war on the entire military.

When friendship is still unreliable, the interests are absolutely cast by iron, and knife and axe are not useful. If you accidentally lose your wife and soldiers, you will lose your troops. The huge benefits have made it difficult for the military generals to give up. Once someone wants to take action, is it easy? There are also rumors that it seems that the royal family has also participated in part, and the amount of money used by the obtained goods to subsidize the inner palace has greatly reduced the amount of money used by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the royal family, and the amount that can be used for people's livelihood construction has greatly increased. This has puzzled the Minister of Civil Affairs.

The trick inside was released intentionally or unintentionally by some well-informed people. Everyone basically understood that no one would pay attention to the Zonghengsi. Even if they were eyeing each other, they should estimate whether they had enough Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong to have three punches and legs. These two scoundrels were really hitting people. As the saying goes, the scholars can't explain it clearly when they meet soldiers. The emperor would definitely favor them. If they are really beaten, they will just be punished without any pain. They will lose nothing to them, and they will be beaten for nothing.

In order to stand up for his son, Cheng Yaojin made a big fuss in Chang'an City. He carried a big axe and chased several playboys all over Chang'an, beating them to cry and call their parents. The elders came and beat them together. Although many people ridiculed him for not having the demeanor of elders, no one dared to provoke Cheng Yaojin from then on. Yuchi Gong used his same trick again, and rode a tall horse and led his generals directly into the house and made a big fuss. He injured and destroyed countless people, making trouble for the rest of the family. He was also a famous man, and no one dared to provoke him.

This is the power of a soldier. If you don’t reason with you, you will just fist and make you angry. Anyone except the old birthday star dares to beat him. The old birthday star also rushed over and scolded him for being a thief. The angry family, one Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Before he could reason, he complained to the emperor was just a fine for some money, and he just said a few words to admit his mistake without any pain.

Suning obviously grasped all the advantages he could grasp, without any compromise, and when someone attacked him, he would contradict him hard. The famous scholar Kong Yingda was contradicted by him and could not eat for a day. Two unlucky officials were deposed by him and would never be hired. Therefore, few people directly conflicted with him again. There was no need to make trouble for themselves, right?

Meng Yu deeply agrees that Suning's approach is worthy of imitation. Even if it is good to recognize him as a teacher, even if he is younger than himself, he has already gained a foothold. Now is the time to grow. In other people's eyes, he is a jester, a flash in the pan, but Meng Yu doesn't think so. Suning is definitely not that kind of person. He works step by step, takes steady steps, takes advantage of all the advantages that can be used, and does his best to get the best interests. There are a lot of powerful figures around him. None of them can do anything to others. If he can't do anything to his helpers, how can he do what he can do?

His wonderful ideas are the origin of this entire military group and their soul. Without Suning, this group cannot continue to develop, so protecting Suning will become the consensus of this entire group. It is really not easy for his opponents and mortal enemies to kill Suning. They have missed the best opportunity to allow the growth of the Zonghengsi and the Military University to bind and rely on each other. What's the use of burning a library?

Now that the library has begun to be rebuilt, what does this mean? Meng Yu himself can't see through Suning, nor does he know what Suning thinks, but he looked up at Suning's Marquis sitting in front of him. He suddenly felt that everything about the incident was in the control of this Marquis. Even if the Marquis was too young, it did not hinder him from setting up the overall situation for the decades or even hundreds of years in the future...

The so-called genius is nothing more than that?

Meng Yu couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but he quickly suppressed this jealousy in great horror. He suddenly felt that his jealousy was showing in front of the marquis, which was simply a slit. He squinted his eyes, but he could not stop the bright eyes inside. Meng Yu had an inexplicable fear of Suning...
