The atmosphere in Chuigong Hall was a little strange.
After Hou Junji told Li Shimin everything that had happened in the southwest…
Li Shi Min slowly lowered his eyes.
"Your Majesty is wise," Hou Junji said with lingering fear."Fortunately, I didn't send troops. Otherwise…I would have let down my comrades!"”
"No wonder those barbarians are so fearless," Hou Junji said through gritted teeth.”
Li Shi Min tried to calm himself down.
"Junji, go to Wannian County and find a county called Xiao Fan. Ask him if he has any countermeasures.”
Hou Junji asked in confusion.
"Why are you looking for him?"
Li Shi Min swallowed hard and said with difficulty,""The dangers of the southwest came from his mouth."
Hou Junji was stunned.
No way!
It was a county, and Chang 'an had probably never been out before. How could he predict what was happening thousands of miles away?
Hou Junji found it hard to believe.
But His Majesty did not seem to be joking.
Then-
Hiss!
He had saved the lives of the Great Tang's twenty thousand soldiers with a single word?
Hou Junji was shocked.
He looked deeply at Li Shi Min and nodded,""Alright."
……
It was late at night.
The steward knocked on Xiao Fan's door.
"Ah Lang, Duke Chen requests an audience."
"No, I'm sleeping."
The manager was speechless.
He had always known that his Ah Lang was arrogant.
However, he never thought that he would be so arrogant.
A State Duke came to visit him late at night, and he did not even think about it and directly refused to meet him?
The steward walked to the door of the manor in trepidation.
"I'm sorry, Duke Chen."
Hou Junji was speechless.
"Hehe, good. Only capable people can be arrogant.”
"Back then, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and found the Crouching Dragon.”
"So what if I, Hou Junji, wait a night for you?”
Hou Junji came and left quickly.
In the study room.
Xiao Fan flipped through the New Book of Tang rewarded by the sign-in system.
"I have to say, this is really good stuff.”
Xiao Fan yawned.
"The third year of Zhenguan was really a year full of disasters!”
"It's good that you have small-flower, but there's going to be another outbreak of malaria.”
"Just what sin did this Li Shiming commit to cause such a calamity to befall the Great Tang?”
Xiao Fan looked at it in his mind for a while before falling asleep.
He had a good habit of going through the New Book of Tang in his mind every night.
It was for the sake of being able to establish a stable foothold in the Great Tang in the future, so that he could remain invincible.
Because only by knowing the trajectory of history could he plan ahead.
……
The next morning.
Xiao Fan walked to the main hall.
Hou Junji had been waiting for them.
His eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that he had not slept last night.
Xiao Fan cupped his hands.”
Lying through his teeth?
Hou Junji was speechless.
He waved his hand." It's fine. It's just one night. I can afford to wait."”
Xiao Fan roughly knew what Hou Junji was here for.
Presumably, Little Wei had already informed the Imperial Court of the situation in the southwest.
Not bad.
The imperial court was not arrogant and did not listen to opinions.
"Xiao County, this is a serious matter, so I will get straight to the point.”
"I heard from His Majesty that you had long predicted the dangers of the southwest forest.”
"I will thank you for saving my life on behalf of the twenty thousand prefecture soldiers.”
Xiao Fan waved his hand.
Hou Junji took a deep breath and asked Xiao Fan,"Six Zhao is surrounded by the forest. Now that I know that there is poisonous gas in the forest, may I ask Xiao County how to break it?”
Xiao Fan smiled at Hou Junji."There's no hurry."
"I want General Hou to do me a favor.”
"Please speak, Xiao County. I can go through fire and water," Hou Junji said.”
This guy, how anxious was he to make contributions!
The historical records stated that Hou Junji was eager for quick success and was headstrong.
Seeing him today, his personality was just as the historical records said.
However, this had little to do with Xiao Fan.
"On this trip to the southwest, I would like General Hou to help me bring back some trees," he told Hou Junji.”
What?
Just this?
Hou Junji thought it was a big deal and waved his hand."It's a small matter! What tree?"
"Cinchona tree."
Hou Junji was speechless.
What was a cinchona tree?
Xiao Fan suddenly realized that this cinchona tree that treated malaria had not been officially named in the Tang Dynasty.
" The bark is grayish-brown and thin," he explained." It has many shallow cracks. Branches 4-edged, brown pubescent. The leaves are papery or thin leathery, long round lanceolate-shaped, oval long round or lanceolate-shaped…"
Hou Junji felt a headache coming on.
"Can you write it down for me? This general is a little confused."
"Deal."
Hou Junji put away the paper.
Only then did he look at Xiao Fan and ask expectantly,"How can we break the southwest?"
Xiao Fan looked seriously at Hou Junji and calmly said,"General Hou, I admit that I am not a good person.”
What the f * ck?
What was going on?
"I believe you are too."
Hou Junji was speechless.
If you want to slander yourself, then so be it. Why bring me along?
I, Hou Junji, am an unyielding man!
"Xiao County, your words are wrong. My reputation is still very good. Don't slander me.”
Xiao Fan shrugged.”
"Actually, I, Hou, am sometimes not a good person. This is the so-called saying that a man is not a man without poison!”Hou Junji spoke righteously.
F * ck!
How shameless!
Xiao Fan admired him!
He smiled." If that's the case, then the solution is simple. Have you heard of burning down the entire camp?”
Hou Junji's face paled as he gasped."You want to set the mountain on fire?"
Xiao Fan said indifferently,"Anyway, the ones who died weren't Han Chinese.”
How vicious must this person be to be able to say such words so calmly?
Set the mountain on fire…
It wasn't that Hou Junji hadn't thought about it, but he had only thought about it.
Jiannan Road was a mountainous area, and one mountain was connected to another.
A forest fire was never a simple matter.
If he really did this, not only would Jiannan Six Zhao be finished, but the entire Jiannan Dao would be finished.
At the very least, Jiannan Dao was still the Great Tang's Jiannan Dao.
There were still Han people there!
Hou Junji's face twitched as he turned to Xiao Fan."Don't make a scene."
"Do you know what a forest fire means?”
"I want to destroy Six Zhao, but not the entire Jiannan Path.”
"Even though setting a fire can make the miasma disappear, if the fire starts, it can't be controlled!”
Xiao Fan said indifferently,"I only asked you to burn the forest around Liu Zhao."”
"Isn't the logic the same?" Hou Junji asked. Oh, Xiao County might not know the distribution of Nanshan District.”
"The mountains are connected to the mountains, and the forests are connected to the forests. As long as the fire breaks out, the other mountain forests will quickly follow.”
Xiao Fan said,"Isn't that simple? You can just extinguish the fire on the other mountains.”
F * ck!
You make it sound so easy.
When the fire started, even the gods couldn't put it out!
"Xiao County probably doesn't understand my words." Hou Junji's face darkened.”
