Chapter 536: Selfish

Tang Zhongyuan read the book quite seriously, but also seemed a little struggling, squinted his eyes, pointed to the words on the book, and asked Li Baibo: "What kind of word is this?" โ€

"ๆกก, which means 'weakened'." Li Baibo said: "The people of the six countries will follow it...... Your Majesty has already seen "The Family of the Marquis"? โ€

Tang Zhongyuan nodded and sighed, "I don't understand it." โ€

Li Baibo patiently explained: "Han Gaozu was besieged by Xiang Yu in Xingyang, and asked Li Shiqi for advice. Li Shiqi suggested that the descendants of the Six Kingdoms be re-established so that the world would be submissive. Zhang Liang objected to this view. โ€

The reason for the opposition was that Han Gaozu did not have the conditions for the feudal establishment of the Six Kingdoms at that time, such as the fact that Xiang Yu had not been eliminated, there was no name of orthodoxy, there was no abundant money and food to appease the people, there was no stable rear situation, and the world was still at war and still working for the people...... And Fu Chu is not strong, which means that Xiang Chu was the most powerful at that time, even if the Six Kingdoms were sealed, these people would still take refuge in Xiang Yu.

All in all, if you don't have enough strength, you can't win people's hearts. Reward promises, it is better to develop strength. โ€

Here Li Baibo explained to Tang Zhongyuan, and Tang Jie listened to it over there, and his heart seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water.

- How similar is this situation to the Rui Dynasty? Father, this is ...... There's already a retreat?!

Sure enough, Li Baibo continued: "Xun Yue said, 'The shape of the person, the general number of gains and losses; The powerful one, saying that it is temporary, the opportunity to advance and retreat is also ...... 'The so-called army and the world, the world, is not looking at the victory or defeat of one city and one place, the minister dares to ask Your Majesty, what can the Chu Dynasty get from the eastward expedition?

Although the Chu Dynasty is dark, there are still scholars and doctors returning to their hearts, and the south is quite stable. Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, Zheng Yuanhua supported the emperor's grandson in Jiangnan, and Huang Taiji sat firmly in Liaodong, all of which were properly managed and the situation was stable. If Your Majesty hastily enters Beijing, he will become the target of the public, and Wanfu will refer to it. When the time comes, money and food will run out, and the army will be in disarray. What should I do? Can you donate it again in Chujingna?

This time, the slave chieftain entered the fortress and watched from the side of the couch, can His Majesty have enough time to stabilize the situation? Now the strongest person is not us, but Dongyu. It's not that we can't beat him, but they have been operating outside the border for more than 30 years, and the slave chieftain has been the emperor for nine years...... In terms of fame, money, food, and situation, who will the people of the world turn to at that time?

Lao Tzu said, 'If you want to die, you will fix it; If you want to be weak, you will be strong', the way of heaven is prosperous and declining, this crusade is too smooth, Your Majesty! The more we are overwhelmed, the more uneasy our hearts become, and I beg Your Majesty to learn from them! โ€

After Li Baibo finished speaking, he arched his hand and slowly knelt on the ground.

Tang Qianqian also knelt down with her fists clenched.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Tang Jie frowned and shouted, "You ......"

"Father...... There is no retreat, and now there is no retreat! โ€

Tang Zhongyuan was still staring at the book "Zizhi Tongjian", but he should not have it, but pointed to another place and asked Li Baibo: "What is the explanation here?" โ€

Li Baibo got up and looked.

I saw that Tang Zhongyuan was referring to that sentence - the king of Han dropped out of food and spitted feeding, and scolded: Confucianism, several defeats and official business!

Li Baibo's face changed greatly, and he quickly knelt on the ground again, and said, "Your Majesty, minister...... Every sentence is open-minded. โ€

Tang Zhongyuan said with a smile: "Bai Bo misunderstood. I'm asking you, what is the meaning of the word 'and'? โ€

Li Baibo was stunned for a moment, and said: "Here, the word 'and' has to be solved together with the word 'gong' at the back, and 'and gong' means 'is the meaning of 'Naigong', which means ......'Er's father'. โ€

Tang Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows and was overjoyed.

"You mean, being an emperor can be so insulting? Why didn't you say it sooner? Lao Tzu was very uncomfortable. โ€

Li Baibo wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded, "Your Majesty had better ...... Don't do that. โ€

Tang Zhongyuan nodded and sighed: "It's harder to read, it's harder than fighting." I had never thought of doing something so difficult one day. But no matter how difficult it is, I have done it. โ€

As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Qianqian and said, "Among the children, you are the most like me, you are willing to learn things, and you can learn quickly...... What do you think about this? โ€

"I agree with Mr. Lee." Tang Qianqian responded.

Tang Zhongyuan sneered and said, "You can play the third child, you can't play 'Ergong', if you have any ideas, don't go around in circles." โ€

Tang Qianqian lowered her head and said slowly: "Let's not say it, my father-in-law also understands the current situation. Leaving Mr. Li alone today is to ask him to write another essay to advise Emperor Chu to surrender, right? Even if Emperor Chu does not surrender, he may beg his father-in-law to negotiate peace. โ€

"It's called My Father." 22 Literary Network

"Yes, if you let the child guess, the father wants Emperor Chu to give him some money and food, and he is willing to recognize the orthodox name of my Darui Dynasty. In this way, the difficult situation of riding a tiger will be solved. โ€

"Yes, you're smarter than your brothers."

"It's not that children are smart." Tang Qianqian said: "It's me who has eyes and ears in the capital...... Today, I received a letter from Chen Yuanyuan to me, which said that Emperor Chu did have the intention of negotiating peace. โ€

Tang Zhongyuan's eyes froze, put down the book in his hand, and said slowly: "Five million taels of silver, three million stone grain." Less than that, Lao Tzu...... I defeated Yanjing. โ€

"Don't say five million taels, Emperor Chu can't even take out five hundred taels. He is arrogant, and he doesn't want to admit my reputation as a Rui dynasty in person. โ€

"Then you tell him, there's nothing to talk about, it's just a matter of meeting each other."

What he meant was that the land of Jin was ceded to his father, Xuancheng, Datong, Yanqing, and security...... All of them are offered, and the two countries are bounded by the Great Wall of Juyongguan, and by the way, the Great Wall is also ours. โ€

"I don't need him to cede it."

Tang Qianqian said: "But the child thinks that this is a secret talk anyway, and there is no basis for empty words, so let's deceive Xuanda first." Looking back at the Central Plains, if you want to fight the capital, what can he do with me?

As for Emperor Chu, he has no choice, the enemy is facing the enemy on two fronts, and what he is doing is to shrink his troops and horses to defend the Beijing Division. We occupy the mediocre pass, advance and retreat, retreat and defend. Just wait to see if Jiannu beats Chu Jing......

If the slave chieftain dares to attack Chujing, we will send troops at any time, in the name of righteousness, and actually reap the benefits of the fisherman; If the slave chieftain does not send troops, we will use the Taixing natural danger as a basis to consolidate Shanxi and see who can hold up to whom; If the slave chieftain retreats, we will send a strong force to pursue, and then the people of the world will only say that we will repel the Jiannu, and all the people will return to their hearts. In this way, if you take Chu Jing again, you don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy, and you can expect a great cause. โ€

After Tang Qianqian's words were finished, Tang Jie replied angrily: "Okay! โ€

- Okay, it's better than stopping now.

He strode forward two steps, hugged his fists and said: "Erchen is willing to lead this strong force, retreat to the east, conquer Chujing, and level the Central Plains for his father!" โ€

Tang Zhongyuan's face sank like water, and he asked again: "There is not much grain and grass left, what if we can't hold the Dongyu?" โ€

"It's difficult for us, but Jiannu is in a hurry. I received a letter from the capital that the Marquis Huaiyuan of the Chu Dynasty had led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to break into the hinterland of Jiannu and wreak havoc and burn Fuling......"

When Tang Qianqian said this, her voice trembled slightly......

Tang Zhongyuan's eyes froze, and he suddenly asked, "I ask you, you mentioned this strategy, and did you not hesitate to deceive your biological father, for the sake of public or selfishness?" โ€

Tang Qianqian was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and didn't dare to answer.

Long.

Tang Zhongyuan smiled and said, "Yes, who doesn't have selfishness?" I asked King Wu Yan to lead a large army along the Yellow River to attack the Central Plains and cut off the way for Emperor Chu to flee south. His progress was slow, because his selfish desire was to preserve his strength.

Therefore, I sent Meng Jiu to be the overseer of his kind of army. Because Meng Jiu's selfish intention was to destroy the Chu Dynasty and capture Zhou Zhang. โ€

As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed at Li Baibo, and said: "Baibo's selfishness is to help the world, pay attention to history, and praise it for all generations." โ€

"Minister......

Tang Zhongyuan waved his hand, pointed at Tang Jie again, and said, "The selfishness of the third child wants to fight and make meritorious contributions...... Probably more than that. โ€

"Erchen ......"

"Needless to say, I understand." Tang Zhongyuan said, "I'm not afraid that you are selfish. If I have selfish intentions, I can use you. But don't talk one thing and do another. If you want anything, say it first, don't wait for the next hexagram to change your mind and mislead yourself and others! โ€

At this point, he patted the case and raised his finger to point at Tang Qianqian.

"What you want, say it as soon as possible, and don't wait for it."

There was an awe-inspiring look in his eyes, not angry and arrogant.

Tang Qianqian's head was buried lower, and her shoulders shook involuntarily.

"The child wants ...... Wanting the horse of the Chu Dynasty, the Marquis of Huaiyuan smiled......"
