Chapter Seventy-One: Master-Apprentice Dialogue
The young man saw that the middle-aged man's face was flat, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean, sir?" Is it that the army outside the city will soon capture Fennan? It seems that a certain guess is right, Prime Minister Yuwen is a masterpiece of a generation, and the commander of the Kwantung Army in the city is young, I heard that he is the second son of Gao Huan, and it is estimated that he also relied on the authority of his father to sit on this chair. ”
The middle-aged man put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the young man with a smile and said: "Although a certain is a poor scholar, he also knows that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, what is the heart of the people, it is nothing more than to let the people have enough to eat, the scholars have hope, and the people's hearts are cohesive, as long as the gap between the two sides is not too big, they will hardly be defeated by the enemy." ”
The young scholar pondered for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head and said, "Sir's words are not bad, but why do you think that with this little Fennan, you can resist Yuwentai's army of 50,000?" ”
The middle-aged man disdainfully after hearing this, "Fifty thousand troops? The number is good, but unfortunately at least half of them are recruits, and the factions are different, all supported by Yuwentai's many years of residual power, but since the defeat of Bishan and returning, Yuwentai has launched a continuous reform, the starting point is good, but it is too much, offended many wealthy families, whether it is Xianbei and Han Haoqiang, it is not pleased......"
The young man listened attentively, and at this time, he saw that the middle-aged man suddenly stopped talking, was sipping tea, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Even so, Fennan is still too weak in front of Yuwentai's army, with only more than 10,000 troops, and Gao Yang is young, compared to Yuwentai, it is still a big difference, and the students are still not optimistic that Gao Yang can hold Fennan." ”
"Haha, Sibei, the biggest enemy is not outsiders, but their own people, let's just say that the chaos caused by the Eighty Thousand Rebellion finally led to the Xianbei people to enter the Central Plains and create the Wei State. This is also the case with the current Yuwen valve, Yuwentai is not like Gao Huan, the latecomer is on top, although he suppressed the potential Guanlong powerful nobles with his own personality charm, but the defeat of Bishan greatly weakened the strength of the Yuwen valve, and also made his reputation damaged, and it was inevitable that the Guanlong Hao clan forces that had been heavily suppressed in the past gradually produced all kinds of careful thoughts. On the other hand, Fennan City, Gao Yang, as the second son of Gao Huan, has a huge force behind him, and his people are stable and full of means and strategies, although he is young, but he governs Fennan City in an orderly manner. ”
"Sir's words are too exalted Gao Yang, right? On the wisdom and art of war to govern the people's livelihood, Yu Wentai has been born for many years, and his scheming methods are better than Gao Yang. Besides, Mr. just analyzed the problems of the Yuwen valve, but I'm afraid the problem of the high valve is better than the Yuwen valve, presumably as long as you give time for Yuwentai to lick the wound and develop with peace of mind, these problems will inevitably be solved, right? And the problem of national contradictions that exist in Gao Valve cannot be solved even by Gao Huan at present, not to mention that his descendants can solve it? After all, Gao Huan started with Xianbei people as the foundation, and the interests of Xianbei people are already tightly bound to him, so he can't cut off his foundation, so it will only cheapen Yuwentai. Under the elimination of one and the other, presumably the power of the Yuwen valve will only get stronger and stronger, and the power of the high valve will only continue to decline in internal friction! ”
This young man's words, if Gao Yang was here, he would definitely be surprised, and he would definitely exclaim, "You fucking analyzed it so thoroughly, it's so fucking correct!" In the end, as the young man said, the Eastern Wei Dynasty became weaker and weaker, not only because the heirs of the Gao royal family were more mediocre than the other, but also because of the national contradictions between the Xianbei and the Han people, and the conflict of interests between the Xianbei nobles and the Han people, which led to the decline of China's power in the continuous internal friction, and the successors of the Western Wei Dynasty were better than the generation, especially the Northern Zhou Emperor Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong, who was as wise and martial as his father, and the means and strategies were first-class. The national strength was booming, and finally led the Western Wei military ministers to eliminate the Eastern Wei.
Mr. Xixi smiled indifferently, "Nine times out of ten, the essence of the Great Wei Kingdom has fallen into the Gao Huan Group, and the military and civilian power are far superior to Yuwentai, plus this time Gao Huan and the aftermath of the great victory in Bishan attacked Yuwentai, although there are many problems, as long as Gao Huan is still there, these problems can be suppressed, even if the successor is mediocre, these problems will not be exposed soon." Although Yuwentai's prestige is also high, what he has done over the years is a little too eager, and it can only be said that his life is indeed not as good as Gao Huan, the territory under his jurisdiction is vast and sparsely populated, the economy is poor, and the reform over the years has indeed been too hasty, many Guanxi wealthy forces and Xianbei forces have long been dissatisfied, as long as the incumbent is mediocre, it is easy to be counterattacked. In short, in the long run, it mainly depends on the ability of the successors on both sides, from the current point of view, Fennan has been governed by Gao Yang into a monolith, Yuwentai wants to capture this city, it is difficult to go to the sky! ”
The young man nodded approvingly, "What Mr. said is true, but the student still doesn't understand why Mr. is so optimistic about Gao Yang, optimistic that this battle will end soon?" ”
Mr. Xixi walked up to a marching map, pointed to Henan with a smile, drew a circle with his hand, and did not speak. Smart as this young man certainly saw what Mr. meant, and frowned: "Sir means that Hou Jing will send troops to threaten the rear of Yuwentai?" ”
"That's right, Hou Jing has been recuperating in Henan over the years, and has a lot of soldiers who can recruit and fight well, and his soldiers are also first-class, to be honest, this time Hou Jing will not support the army and obey Gao Huan's orders, even if Wei Xiaokuan of Yubi is good at guarding, he may not be able to withstand it, but unfortunately this person is ambitious, he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he is bent on reaping benefits, there is no bottom line, and if he falls in the future, he will die without a place to be buried."
"Sir, do you mean that Hou Jing will send an army to attack Yuwentai in the near future?" The young man didn't care about what happened to Hou Jing, the more chaotic the north, the more beneficial it would be to the Southern Dynasty, and he wished that the war would be raging in the north, so that it would be in the interests of the Southern Dynasty.
"That's right, the war has reached this juncture, Gao Huan was able to continue to increase his chips, but unfortunately Hebei is being attacked by Rouran, which can be regarded as a great favor to Yuwentai, both sides are the end of the crossbow, Hou Jing will take advantage of the fire to rob as long as he is not stupid, compared to the two, he can only choose to continue to be loyal to Gao Huan, otherwise he will give the world the name of a rebellious minister and thief, which is definitely not conducive to his future career, it seems that the Western Wei County centered on Luozhou is estimated to be annexed by Hou Jing."
The young man stared at the map in a daze, nodded, and sighed: "It seems that it is time for a certain person to go back to the south, there will definitely be a big war between the north and the south in the future, and it is time to go back and worry about the king!" Then he looked at the middle-aged Xixi and said expectantly: "Sir, how about going back to the Liang Dynasty with a certain one?" I believe that Mr. will have a place for his talents, and it is impossible to pay homage to the prime minister in the future! ”
