Liu Ruohuan naturally would not take Sakurai Maoxue's words seriously.

If he really wanted to cross that line, he might be the first one who was unlucky.

On the other hand, he didn't really want to have too complicated relationships with this Japanese woman.

The other party is the kind of woman who never gives up to achieve her goal. Perhaps for her, both the mind and the body, it can be used as a tool to enhance status and trust.

Seeing Liu Ruohuan deliberately moving away and moving to the opposite side of him, Sakurai Yuyu chuckled without comment, unable to tell whether it was a loss or a mockery.

"The young master is now entrusted with an important task. He goes north to lead his army to fight against the Jurchens. What do you think?"

Liu Ruohuan said with a complicated expression: "It feels quite wonderful. She has been studying the tactics of the Northwest Huns, but she didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway... And I also feel confused about my trust in the Zuo family and the eldest princess. Logically speaking, the leadership of the army should not be the responsibility of me, the military supervisor. They should send the Second Highness or the Zuo family to lead the army."

Sakurai Yuyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Master, I'm worried too much. When I went to the palace to meet the eldest princess two days ago, that lord gave you a high opinion."

"oh?"

Liu Ruohuan exclaimed lightly. He didn't expect why the eldest princess, who had been designated as a queen, looked up to him. He was also a little curious about what the eldest princess' evaluation was.

"The eldest princess regards you as the icebreaker of the royal family and the four major families. She believes that you will break the status quo of the four major families in the future and become an indispensable figure in the Han and Tang dynasties."

Liu Ruohuan remembered the image of the empress wearing a royal robe on the throne, and smiled helplessly: "Impossible? Icebreaker? Is this joke too big? This word is almost the same as using it on her, and it is like a joke on me."

Sakurai Yuyu said calmly: "And I think the eldest princess has no high hopes for you to lead the army from beginning to end... The Huns in the northern border are too strong. Even if I join forces with the divine sect to compete in the military, I am afraid that there will be few triumphs. It is impossible to expect a man who has never brought troops to fight against foreign enemies."

"Then what do you think she is?"

"The eldest princess has no restraint on Jiangnan's White Lotus Sect, and sometimes even cooperates with the other party for a while." Sakurai Yuxue said her own inference, "From my opinion, the eldest princess may use herself as bait to lure the two tigers into a fight in the next game."

Liu Ruohuan was slightly stunned, and her expression became subtle.

"Two tigers fight?"

"Yes, if you want to eradicate the current internal and external troubles of the Han and Tang dynasties, you must pull the root of the problem and use the strongest army to fight against the strongest warriors. From this point of view, the eldest princess does have an extraordinary courage... However, this practice of allowing the two forces to fight against each other is equivalent to walking a tightrope in the sky, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss."

Liu Ruohuan was terrified when he heard this. He had never expected that the eldest princess would use the fate of the country as a bet.

"This method has another great disadvantage, that is, countless unknowing people, generals, ministers and soldiers loyal to the Han and Tang dynasties will be killed or injured because of this catastrophe." Sakurai Yuxue pondered: "Although I agree that a general will have the necessary sacrifice before completing a great cause. However, the eldest princess's approach is equivalent to treating the entire northern border, Jiangnan, and Luoyang City as bait... Do you think this approach is correct?"

Beads of sweat were oozed from Liu Ruohuan's forehead, and the princess's indifferent smile suddenly appeared in his heart.

Now it seems that the thing hidden behind that smile is really too terrifying.

"This is definitely wrong! The eldest princess is gambled with the entire country and life in order to follow her own path... It's really unreasonable."

Sakurai Yuyu looked up at Liu Ruohuan and said gently: "Since the young master does not agree with the eldest princess's approach, it means I cannot agree with her approach either."

Liu Ruohuan was stunned for a moment and replied: "Thank you."

"Don't thank me, I'll follow the master's order. This is a matter of course." A smile appeared in the corner of Sakurai's eyes again, and he said, "The eldest princess's plan is exquisite, but it still misses the most critical link."

“What is it?”

"My young master seems to have the talented people to lead troops to fight."

In the next two days, Sakurai Yuyu began to instruct Liu Ruohuan about the key points necessary for fighting the Jurchen clan.

I hope Liu Ruohuan can find the rules of breaking the Jurchens from it.

"Juchens, like the Huns, were all ethnic groups that started on horseback. However, unlike the Huns, the Jurchens have always been just a foil for other tribes."

"Focus?"

"When the Dragon Emperor was the first to unify the wilderness, whether it was Japan, Jurchens, or the Xiongnu Miaojiang, these small tribes were dominated by the Central Plains and lived a life like servants. However, as the Dragon Emperor's bloodline became weaker and the four major families usurped power and seized the throne, the newly promoted Han and Tang dynasties were useless. At this time, the Han people in the Central Plains had long lost control of the small tribes in all directions. These large and small groups of tribes fought each other in a melee, and the strongest one survived became the most difficult Xiongnu people in the northern border today."

Liu Ruohuan pondered for a while and asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with the Jurchens?"

Sakurai Yuxue glanced at him and said slowly: "The Jurchens are an exception among these tribes. Let's take the Huns as an example first. After the Huns annexed dozens of tribes of all sizes around, they integrated the cultures of each tribe to form a unique grassland culture. The current Huns are actually equivalent to the combination of multiple tribes on the grassland, and their inner rule is not a monolithic part."

Liu Ruohuan said why the Huns in this world are different from what he remembers. Now, compared with Sakurai Yuki's explanation, he has a little clarity.

"The Jurchens have been small tribes since ancient times, and their tribes have not exceeded 10,000 people from beginning to end. This is entirely because the living conditions of the Jurchens are extremely harsh and the probability of survival of newborns is extremely low."

When Liu Ruohuan heard the first half of the sentence, she instantly reacted and asked with an awkward expression: "Ha? A tribe with no more than 10,000 people, but I asked me to dispatch a total of 120,000 people from the four guards in the capital to wipe out. Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

"The Jurchen tribe is very united within. This unity is not just a superficial statement. As long as it is a child of the Jurchen tribe, they are regarded as their own. Moreover, regardless of gender, they are soldiers who are skilled in martial arts. They only need to farm and go to the ground on weekdays. However, when a clan is in crisis, they will be dispatched to form a very strong combat force."

At this moment, a word emerged in Liu Ruohuan's mind.

"Everyone is a soldier."
