Words must be kept, rewards and punishments should be appropriate. This is the most important principle in using troops.

This spy in front of him brought such important information, so naturally, Su Zhensheng was not going to be stingy.

He directly gave a large reward.

The middle-aged woman in front of him took it, feeling the weight in her hands, and her eyes sparkled.

"Go and find out again, why the father and son of the Yun Family have come to the Capital City this time. Report back as soon as you have any news.

No matter the time, you can come to report."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman slightly straightened her expression.

"Don't worry, General, I already have some clues on this matter. It shouldn't take long to report back."

Su Zhensheng nodded in satisfaction, signaling that she could leave.

In the room, Su Zhensheng frowned and paced back and forth, his face not looking good.

After turning around twice, he sat back down on the chair.

The Shen Family, what a Shen Family.

Clearly knowing the Yun Family's enhancement in Pill expertise, capable of producing such inexpensive Middle Grade Pills, yet they didn't inform the Su Family at all.

Not even a hint was given.

Yet they say they want to form a family alliance, sharing interests and bearing dangers together.

Thinking of these things, Su Zhensheng only felt these were just empty words.

Outwardly, they advised friendly forces to stay away from the Yun Family.

But the Shen Family themselves secretly went to the Yun Family, wanting to purchase Pills.

Their calculations are indeed loud and clear.

The trust in the Shen Family in his heart fell another notch.

It's now 3:00 PM, and soon it will be time for the evening meal.

Seizing this opportunity, see what can be discussed.

The evening was gradually darkening.

In the small courtyard of Su Zhensheng, the feast was already prepared.

His second son Su Hongrong also arrived on time.

"Later at the banquet, have a good chat with that young man attending.

See if he is smart enough. State matters, military matters, you can talk about it all.

Probe a little to see if he truly has any stratagem in his belly."

Hearing this, Su Hongrong could only nod in agreement.

In front of his father, it's always his father's word that counts.

To tell the truth, Su Hongrong did not have high expectations of the Tianyi Academy student.

At 5:00 PM, Shen Han arrived on time for the appointment.

"Mr. Su."

Seeing Su Zhensheng, Shen Han greeted him very appropriately and courteously.

"No need for much courtesy, please sit down.

Additionally, this is my son, a few years your senior."

"I've met Brother Su."

Seeing this, Shen Han also courteously gave his greeting upon meeting.

At least at first sight, the impression of Shen Han was still good.

The three took their seats, and Shen Han was actually quite unsure of the purpose of this banquet.

This Mr. Su Zhensheng was explaining military strategy, troop movements, strategy, and state affairs.

Each one was advice to himself.

Speaking of which, he should actually be the one setting up a feast to express gratitude.

Unexpectedly, it was instead Mr. Su who invited him.

"I heard from my father that young brother has some interest in military strategy.

Chat with me for a few words, if there's anything inappropriate, you can have my father judge it."

During the exchange of words, Shen Han naturally agreed.

Through these conversations, his understanding of military strategy would deepen.

Besides, these conversations are also a kind of training.

After some simple greetings, Su Hongrong began to pose questions.

"In the north of Great Wei, the winter climate is always extremely cold.

The worse the climate, the more suitable it is for surprise moves.

Young brother, what do you think, how should we make such surprise moves? How should troops be used?"

After pondering for a moment, Shen Han gave his thoughts.

"Under such circumstances, I think it's best not to dispatch troops..."

As he said this, Shen Han couldn't help but smile.

"In midwinter, the soldiers' cultivation skills are generally not high enough to withstand such harsh climates.

In such situations, complaints in their hearts are far more than usual.

If the battle situation is unfavorable, the unrest among the troops could exceed normal times."

Hearing this, Su Hongrong couldn't help but glance at his father.

This strategy is exactly in line with his father's thinking.

No wonder, no wonder his father would have him assess this young man.

It's no surprise his father is optimistic about this young man, intending to win him over.

"What if it's necessary to send troops for a very important task?"

"Then select a few hundred elite soldiers and launch them in small surprise attacks, shifting and adapting."

This thinking is exactly the same as his father's...

At the dinner table, Su Hongrong and Shen Han continued the conversation.

The more they talked, the deeper it got, and Su Hongrong began to recognize Shen Han.

Especially when talking about state affairs, Su Hongrong found this young man to be more appropriate than he thought.

There were some areas he couldn't even see the hidden meaning, but Shen Han pointed them out.

Besides these, Su Hongrong also found that communicating with Shen Han felt very comfortable.

Even when Shen Han pointed out his errors, he never felt displeased.

This skill in conversation is excellent.

Such a person is highly suitable for entering state affairs and is very likely to do well.

No wonder his father personally set up a banquet to entertain, it seems he is really inclined to win him over.

The banquet lasted about two hours.

During this period of their exchange, Su Zhensheng occasionally gave some guidance.

Most of this guidance involved criticizing Su Hongrong.

He and Shen Han had been exchanging ideas for just ten days, and in terms of understanding military strategy and state affairs, many aspects had surpassed Su Hongrong.

Thinking about these, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Relying on this son, it's questionable if the Su Family can maintain its foundation.

After the evening banquet ended, Shen Han bid farewell to both, thanking them for the hospitality.

Watching Shen Han's back, Su Zhensheng paused and turned to look at Su Hongrong.

"What do you think of this young man?"

"He conducts himself with utmost courtesy, and his speech is pleasing to the ear.

His handling of military strategy and state affairs shows considerable stratagem. Father intends to win over this young man?"

Hearing this, Su Zhensheng finally acknowledged Su Hongrong, nodding his head.

"You do have some insight. How do you propose we win him over?"

"Sister Nuoli is of suitable age. As a descendant of our Su Family, with such looks, she should be a good match for him."

Marriage is indeed a good way to win someone over.

However, there was a previous withdrawal of an engagement, so using a marriage proposal to lure him now might or might not work.

Su Zhensheng turned to look at his second son: "Do you know which aristocratic family this young man is from?"

"Hongrong has always been in the military, he indeed doesn't know much about the prominent figures of the younger generation..."

"Not much understanding?

I'll tell you, his surname is Shen, with the single given name Han.

He's the one who had an engagement with Jinyu before."

Su Zhensheng lifted his eyes to look at Su Hongrong, his gaze filled with reproach.

Calling him back today, one of Su Zhensheng's purposes was to give him a good scolding.

"Shen... Shen Han? Son of Shen Lingsheng? How could it be him....."

"The intelligence network of the Su Family being handed to you, it can be considered completely wasted.

Think about the information you sent back before, lacking talent and potential, disrespectful and ungrateful, dull-minded...

Think about it carefully, which of these was accurate!"
