Chapter 206 Bo
Xie Jian was dragged by Wu Jin to have dinner. Meng Xuanlang drank a lot and drank a lot. He dragged the two of them and told them everything he disliked twice before letting them go.
So when I got home, it was already dark.
When Xie Jian entered the room, he saw Ah Heng reading a book and didn't even notice him coming in. He wondered what story could have made her so focused, but he didn't expect her to be just in a daze for a long time without even turning a page. It was strange.
"What are you thinking about?"
Only then did Shen Heng realize that Xie Jian had arrived. As he approached, she could smell the faint aroma of alcohol on him: "Did you bring me some Xuezui?"
Xie Jian placed the small wine pot in his hand on the table: "You are indispensable."
Chen Heng opened it and took a sniff. A chilly winter air mixed with the aroma of wine filled her nose. It was a very unique smell. Even someone like her who didn't like drinking wanted to drink it. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Whatever others developed, they succeeded and made a fortune, while she had been struggling for four years to run a grocery store, and now she was just starting to make a living.
It's a pity that the people here have no idea of letting outsiders act as agents. However, no matter whether it is the Wu family or the Meng family, the high-end people have been recruited, and the emperor can't really get out of it. He can't compete with them for business, and he won't be able to win.
She had lost her mind, lost her mind. Shen Heng quickly put down the wine jug and looked at Xie Jian who was getting ready. "Ah Jian, in the evening, Liu Gang and the others were talking about the war in Wanzhou. When they heard about a victory, Nanny told them stories about several generals who had won battles in history."
Xie Jian nodded lightly.
"Hmm, what's that? Can't you be more excited?" Shen Heng saw him sitting at the desk and moved her stool over a little. "I think it sounds quite interesting. There's a general who drove the enemy into a valley. His men surrounded them and wanted to kill them all, but the general said they shouldn't surround them to death, but should leave a gap. Why do you think that is?"
Xie Jian saw Ah Heng's interested look and didn't expect that she was also interested in the war, so he asked, "Why?"
Waiting for him to say this, Chen Hengyu said, "Because trapped beasts fight to the death. If they fight back desperately, they will definitely risk their lives, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the war."
Xie Jian took the case file from the table and read it. "That's right. This tactic is from the Art of War: don't press the enemy when he's desperate; besiege the enemy and there will be a gap."
"Do you know?"
"When Ouyang En went to Wanzhou, I gave him a military manual. Everything is written in it."
"Have you read this book?"
"I've read it several times." If he wants to deal with those old foxes in the court, he can't act rashly. He hasn't seen much of the world and comes from a small place. Reading is another way for him to accumulate experience.
The book contains things that other people have experienced. If he can use it for his own benefit, he can avoid many disasters because of his experience.
Just like the files he was reading now, he had finished reading those from the Secretariat, and now he asked the teacher to take a copy of the files from the Ministry of Revenue to read. He had almost understood the people in the court.
Chen Heng blinked. Uh, she had watched it several times...but she had never watched it once.
The sudden silence made Xie Jian put down the file in his hand and look at her: "What's wrong?"
Even after reading it several times, she still didn't seem to grasp it. Chen Heng said stubbornly, "I think some military tactics are quite suitable for fighting with others. It's good to leave room for maneuver, to leave a way out for yourself and others."
Xie Jian's eyes were quite deep and somewhat unfathomable, showing that he was deeply thoughtful. This deep look was a little hard to contain, so he quickly took the account book beside him and opened it to look at it. Alas, he lost the eye contact and felt ashamed of her mature soul.
Xie Jian raised his eyebrows: "You hold it upside down."
When Shen Heng saw it, she really had it the wrong way around and laughed awkwardly.
