As soon as Gongsun Sheng said this, the hall was quiet!

Zheng Fei looked at Gongsun Sheng in surprise, and after a closer look, he found that he didn't seem to be joking at all, although Gongsun Sheng had not directly stated his position, but his meaning was already very clear, obviously, he was in favor of letting him accept the marriage, which was even more strange, among the people who just supported his marriage, most of them were military generals, such as Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others, they were just a happy figure.

Those who oppose their own marriage are mainly wise generals, such as Zhu Wu, Wu Yong and others, and they all made the same choice as themselves after careful consideration.

And Gongsun Sheng is extremely wise and is an important element in the Liangshan Think Tank, but he stood with those generals this time, isn't he even having any high opinions that he didn't even see including himself, Zhu Wu, Wu Yong and others?

Although Zheng Fei didn't believe that a Gongsun Sheng could beat himself and the full house, he still asked seriously, "......What does Brother Gongsun mean?" ”

Gongsun Sheng said, "If the commander only wants the world of the Great Song Dynasty, then he can refuse the marriage of Ye Luchun." But if the commander still wants to include the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and even the Xia Kingdom, the Dali Kingdom, and so on into his hands, his subordinates suggest that it is better to accept Ye Luchun's marriage, and even, if there is such a good thing in the future, then it is even more necessary not to refuse! ”

Zheng Fei's heart moved, and he nodded to Gongsun Sheng, "Brother Gongsun, please continue." ”

Gongsun Sheng continued, "Since the Five Emperors of China, I have gone through the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Warring States, Qin and Han dynasties until today, although there have been foreign invasions of the Central Plains such as the Wuhu Rebellion in the whole process, but in general, it is basically the Han people who can become emperors in the land of China and establish a stable country. ”

"In this process, even though there have been many great changes within the Han people, such as the Qin swallowing of the Six Kingdoms, such as Liu Bang's army to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, such as the Tang Dynasty's army to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, and the founding emperor of this dynasty, Chen Qiao's mutiny, which seized the orphaned country of Chai Shizong, although these processes were also full of bloodshed, the result was without exception that they established one unified and accepted country after another after defeating the enemies within their own nation. And those foreigners who tried to invade the land of China, even if they relied on force or took advantage of the internal strife of the Han people to take advantage of some advantages, and some even served as emperors on the land of China for a few days, but the result was that they were finally driven out or eliminated by the Han people without exception. ”

"At the same time, our Han people have also invaded the territory of other ethnic groups in history, the Han iron cavalry is rampant in all directions, and the Tang Dynasty has also established the capital of the Hehe Western Regions, but we were also driven away by the other party in the end. Why is this so? ”

"Because no matter how much a nation fights, everyone is still a nation, the Song State was established by the Han people, and the emperor is a Han person. The Liao State was founded by the Khitans, and their emperors were also Khitans, and the Xia and Jin States were no exception, and their emperors were also Dangxiang and Jurchen respectively. It's like a big family, family members can fight for the head of the family, no matter who fights for it, all the members of the family are still a family, but when a foreign invades it is different, can a family accept an outsider as its own head? Of course not, everyone will definitely work together to drive away outsiders, even if they continue to fight each other after driving away outsiders! ”

"Throughout the past few thousand years, although our Han and foreign races have never stopped fighting and killing, but only looking at the final result, we Han people still stay in the Central Plains, and those foreigners still stay on their territory, in fact, no one has taken advantage of the other party. Therefore, if the commander just wants to compete in the Central Plains, then he doesn't need to pay attention to Yeluchun's marriage, as long as the commander is strong enough, when the world is pacified, all the Han people in the world will naturally surrender to you, accept you as the new 'parent' of all Han people, and resist the invasion of foreign tribes under your leadership! ”

"But if you don't only aim at the Central Plains, but want to build a huge empire comparable to the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties, then force alone is not enough, even if we are strong, those Khitans, party members, Jurchens and other foreign races will not agree with us, our invasion will cause them to resist desperately, even if we are forced to surrender to us by force, it is only a temporary surrender, and they will still rebel once they have the opportunity in the future!"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Sheng hugged his fist at Zheng Fei and said, "There are clouds in the book of soldiers, 'Where the way to conquer the country, attack the heart first, and serve its heart first', commander, in order to defeat the Song State more smoothly, you have resorted to the peerless strategy of 'Qing Jun's side', in order to attack the heart first, so that the common people think that the war between us and the Song State is just a dispute within the Great Song Dynasty, which has little to do with them, and will definitely reduce their resistance from them." In fact, compared with the civil war, the foreign war also needs to attack the heart, the foreign race is also a human being, and they have the same heart as us, as long as we can also implement the 'Qingjun side' to let those foreigners identify with us, then we will not only encounter a lot less difficulties in attacking the city outside the fortress in the future, but also play a vital role in stabilizing the outside of the city after the war, so that it will also become our territory completely! ”

After listening to the words, Zheng Fei really nodded uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of deep admiration when he looked at Gongsun Sheng, and he couldn't help but sigh that he really knew the rise and fall of history in vain, and he was not as good as the overall situation of an ancient, Gongsun Sheng's words were really in one sentence! Since the civil war has to attack the heart, then the external war does not need to attack the heart? The Khitans, Jurchens, and Dangxiang people are all human beings, as long as they are human beings, they have "hearts", and as long as they are "hearts", there are ways to overcome them!

Zheng Fei stood up, clenched his fists and said to Gongsun Sheng with a humble face, "Listening to Brother Gongsun's words, it's really open, but I don't know how to attack the hearts of foreign clans?" While speaking, Zheng Fei kept sighing in his heart that God really treats himself well, not only gave himself these world-class brave generals, but also gave himself a group of resourceful strategists.

Seeing Zheng Fei like this, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but flash a trace of excitement in his eyes, from ancient times to the present, as a courtier, who doesn't want to meet such a perfect monarch who is sober and rational, humble and self-disciplined, and obedient? This ability is entrusted to him, and it is worth it!

Gongsun Sheng invited Zheng Fei back to his position, and then continued, "Don't hide it from the commander and your brothers, this method of attacking the heart has actually been troubled for a long time, but there is still no way to get it, because foreigners are foreigners after all, as the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and foreigners will not believe us so easily." But today, when I heard that Yeluchun insisted on marrying his daughter to the commander, his subordinates had an idea in their hearts, so they came up with a solution, but this method was only temporarily thought out and had not yet been perfected, so ...... If there are any deficiencies, please forgive me the commander-in-chief and all the brothers. ”

While speaking, a trace of hesitation flashed on Gongsun Sheng's face, as if it was difficult for him to say what he was going to say next, witnessing this move, listening to these words, Zheng Fei couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, just now Gongsun Sheng was still talking eloquently, saying a lot of things without even burping, why is it up now, Zheng Fei is also more curious about what special method Gongsun Sheng has come up with, so he cast an encouraging look at Gongsun Sheng,

Gongsun Sheng felt Zheng Fei's encouragement, and finally said, "The next way is to ......, since it is difficult for foreigners to be accepted by the clansmen, can the clansmen be used to govern the clansmen?" Yeluchun married his daughter to the commander, although this Khitan princess has become the commander's woman, but it will not change the fact that she is a Khitan, for the Khitans, she is still the princess of the Khitans, and she is also a great princess who sacrifices her happiness for the interests of the Great Liao to marry the Central Plains, we can just take advantage of this, the better you are to the Khitan princess, the more grateful the Khitan people will be to you, and in the future, when you are ready to attack the Liao State, you might as well make the Khitan princess the commander of the three armies, Even if it's only nominal, it can make the Khitan people feel less like a lot of foreign invasions to us, and when you defeat the Liao State, you will crown the Khitan princess as the empress of the Liao State, so that for the Liao people, their emperor is still their own person, will they think about rebellion again? ”

Zheng Fei's heart jumped when he heard this, and he glanced at Zhu Wu, Wu Yong and others, only to see that everyone's eyes lit up at the same time! Coup! That's a brilliant idea!
