Chapter 40: The Tip of the Needle to the Wheat
Zhang Yuan followed Tang Meng all the way to the corner of the post house, where even the subordinates in the post house usually don't come over.
Tang Meng saw that there was no one around, so he stopped here.
"I'm afraid Zhang Xingren already knows what I'm looking for you."
Zhang Yuan touched his nose when he heard Tang Meng say this.
It's embarrassing, he really doesn't know yet.
"If Lieutenant General Lang has anything to say to me, just say it directly."
"I came here because of what Zhang Xingren said to Yelanghou this morning."
Seeing that Tang Meng couldn't get into trouble, Zhang Yuan could only follow him.
"It shouldn't be Lieutenant Lang's turn to take care of what the officials of the mission do."
The smile on Tang Meng's face became even bigger because of Zhang Yuan's words, he was like this, the more a person showed hostility towards him, the happier he was.
The enemy on the surface is always much stronger than the dark man in the shadow.
"I really can't manage too much, so I'm just here to persuade Zhang Xingren, anyway, after Zhang Xingren leaves, this Nanxi Yi has nothing to do with you, and I still have to stay here."
I can't let you get all the surrounding relationships out of control, the enemy of the Han is the Xiongnu, not Yelang.
Your Majesty can treat Yoro as a treasury, but not as an enemy.
Bringing money out of the vault, we just need to build roads.
But if there is an extra enemy, not only to build roads, but also to send a large army, recruit several times the number of people, and empty the grain in the granaries of the three counties of Bashu, are these what Zhang Xingren wants to see?
If you want to see this scene, why did you have to appease the people of Bashu before, wouldn't it seem that the court has no credibility after such a repeated? ”
What Tang Meng said couldn't make Zhang Yuan change his mind so easily, because he and Ji Fu had already determined what Tang Meng's and Duotong's purpose was, but they didn't know how to achieve their goal for the time being.
Adopting a policy of softness toward any country in the frontier may lead to the people in the frontier frequently falling into the flames of war.
That is far more costly than addressing the problem earlier.
"Lieutenant General Lang doesn't need to say it, others don't know the strength of Yelang Country, I believe it, can you not know?
They have a population of 200,000 in the whole country, and the number of young and middle-aged men who can take up arms is 100,000, which is the 100,000 elite soldiers in Duotong's mouth.
Even if these 100,000 people are all equipped with the same equipment as the palace guards in that palace, I will not say anything about using troops against Yelang.
If I lead the army, I only need a thousand soldiers to slaughter Yelang, why do I need to bring a large number of slave troops, recruit a large number of people, and eat food or anything to the enemy, and still want me to teach you? ”
Zhang Yuan's tone was very domineering, and Tang Meng only thought he was bragging.
This is also the reason why Tang Meng never thought of attacking with fire in his heart, if Zhuge Liang crossed here, I am afraid that Tang Meng will be scolded for blood.
After fighting against the northern nomads for a long time, the generals of the Han Dynasty were about to forget about the fire attack.
However, any battle in history has its irreproducible characteristics, although the most important thing that determines the direction of a battle is the strength of troops, but in fact, there are many details, if these details do not exist, there will be no example of the weak defeating the strong.
"Since Zhang Xingren is so tough, then I can't persuade you anymore.
It's just that if you think about it, if it is not the people of Li who are suffering from the war, the interests of many nobles will also be broken.
If you can give you a step, I'll give you a share of my own example, don't you think that's okay? ”
Zhang Yuan is enough, the intimidation has not been changed to inducement, Tang Meng's methods are limited to this, which makes Zhang Yuan have a strong sense of frustration in his heart. 258
Such a person's plan made him meditate for days without being able to guess what he wanted to do.
Could it be that the human brain has evolved for thousands of years, but it has not changed at all?
"Lieutenant General Lang, I'm not afraid to tell you now, that Huang Changshi in your army was originally a businessman, and the Huang clan is right."
Tang Meng's pupils shrank, and he didn't answer for the time being, and only nodded after thinking about it seriously.
"The chain of interests with the nobles in the DPRK and China is also connected by the Huang clan."
"Not bad."
At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"Then why did I just ask Huang Changshi that he didn't know about it?
Lieutenant General Lang, if you dare to fill your pockets, you are not afraid that the nobles in the court will immediately abolish you? ”
originally thought that Tang Meng, who could be frightened, to tell the truth, but even with such a move, Tang Meng still maintained his composure.
"You are not a person from us, Huang Changshi will not tell you, he told you that he has only a dead end."
After staying in Bajun for a whole winter, Tang Meng unswervingly believed that Zhang Yuan was not his own person, otherwise he would definitely not be embarrassed about the affairs of Yelang Country.
"Speaking of which, I'm also from the Prime Minister's family, why do you think he won't tell me?
Didn't you find that Mr. Jifu was closer to me than to you? ”
After planting fields in Lantian County for several years, all the fields in the court and the central government have almost forgotten about the existence of Zhang Yuan.
also forgot that Zhang Yuan's initial position as a Lang official was only awarded to him by Liu Che after Tian Wei recommended him.
Just said that Zhang Yuan was Tian Wei's subordinate, Tang Meng didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Zhang Yuan would work against Tian Wei.
But if this involves Jifu, the credibility will be greatly improved.
"It turns out that Zhang Xingren is a subordinate of the prince, disrespectful and disrespectful, there were some collisions before, and I hope that Zhang Xingren has a large number of people."
Tang Meng worshiped Zhang Yuan like this, and he didn't know whether it was true or false, but Zhang Yuan felt that Tang Meng was afraid of Tian Wei deep in his heart.
There are basically no easy people to get along with in Dahan, Zhang Yuan was considered before, but now he is not.
"You did all these things from the prince, do you know what will happen to you when the prince knows?
While there are still some opportunities, confessing as soon as possible and not interfering in the affairs of the Southwest Yi is your way to survive. ”
Tang Meng's head trembled slightly, and his heart seemed to be shaking, but he still didn't make a sound.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yuan has not said anything he has done so far, it is very likely that Zhang Yuan does not know at all.
Now Zhang Yuan's heart is also fifteen buckets of water, and he has been lying to Tang Meng, but Tang Meng just won't let go.
"The last general did not do anything to be sorry for the prince, nor did he do anything to be sorry for His Majesty.
As for what he will do at the end, he can't tell Zhang Xingren yet.
The last general still hopes that you don't push too Yelanghou, if Yelanghou rebels violently, although Yelangguo will be defeated, but the anger of those nobles in the court is not something you can bear.
Moreover, the people involved in this are not the prime minister alone, and there are bigger people behind him. ”
When he said this, Tang Meng raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yuan, and his gloomy eyes were directly engraved in Zhang Yuan's heart.
