Chapter 16: Xu Yuan's shock

This person has a different identity, and the outcome of dealing with things is also very different.

Li Zhong wanted to save Xu Yuan, it was a thousand difficulties, but Pei Min was just a letter, a matter of one sentence.

With Pei Min's current status, no one wants to offend him for a little Xu Yuan.

When the letter reached Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Zhang Qiu and Qiong were already ready for all the preparations for the southern expedition.

Seeing Pei Min's intercession with Xu Yuan in the letter, Zhang Qiu and Qiong almost did not hesitate at all, and immediately let Xu Yuan go.

Xian Yu Zhongtong was jealous and hateful when he heard it on the side, and he tried his best to get to know Pei Min.

Xu Yuan, a small grain official, was able to catch Pei Min's line, which is really enviable.

It's just that Pei Min has come forward, and Xian Yu Zhongtong has no room to interject, so he can only watch Xu Yuan return unharmed.

Pei Min didn't just write a letter, in addition to Zhang Qiu and Qiong, there was also a letter to Xu Yuan, which was sent to the Li Mansion in Shuzhong and asked Li Zhong to pass it on to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan's talent is undoubted, Pei Min is lacking such a strategist, and he doesn't want to see the pearl dusty, so he specially wrote a letter to invite him to come to Liangzhou for development.

With Xu Yuan's talent, serving as a small grain officer is really too condescending.

In Pei Min's memory, Xu Yuan has always been unrenowned, until the defense of Suiyang, he became a blockbuster, and he has no chance to rise in the next ten years.

The longer Pei Min is in a high position, the more he can realize the pity of the pearl being dusty.

In fact, Pei Min was wrong, Xu Yuan was not a real pearl, but maliciously suppressed.

The person who suppressed him was Zhang Qiu and Qiong.

Xu Yuan's gold, when he was in Shuzhong, was already shining.

In history, Zhang Qiu and Qiong finally felt Xu Yuan's talent and wanted to marry his daughter to Xu Yuan.

It's just that Xu Yuan already has a wife, and he is unwilling to divorce his wife for the sake of power, so he rejected Zhang Qiu and Qiong, which led to being suppressed by Zhang Qiu and Qiong, so he has not been able to make a career.

Pei Min naturally can't remember these details.

It is not easy to remember Xu Yuan, a strategist, from the brilliance of Zhang Xun.

Xu Yuan's own deeds resume, naturally I don't know the details.

Pei Min has been looking forward to Xu Yuan's arrival in Liangzhou, and he has the feeling of looking forward to the stars and the moon.

But when Xu Yuan came to Guzang in Liangzhou, it was already two months later.

After all, Shudi is far away, and Xu Yuan is coming to Liangzhou, so naturally he will not go back.

There are many things to arrange at home, and it takes a lot of time.

Just a few days before Xu Yuan arrived in Guzang, Pei Min even got the good news that Gongsun You was pregnant.

After his hard work, Gongsun You also successfully conceived a child.

There is a saying that in a pregnant woman, the IQ drops dramatically.

Pei Min also realized it again.

Gongsun You was so shrewd and capable in the past, after learning that he was pregnant, he touched his stomach and smirked most of the time, and he didn't even practice the skills of housekeeping and swords.

The key is not to touch it, which gives Pei Min a feeling that she has a child and doesn't want a husband.

Very sad!

On this day, Pei Min was deducing the battle situation with Gao Shi in the mansion, and suddenly learned that Xu Yuan was coming, and walked out of the hall directly excitedly, and his boots were worn while jumping.

At this moment, Pei Min also experienced the feeling that Zhou Gong was feeding the wise men and Cao Cao was barefoot to welcome Xu You.

When this needs talents, there are talents to vote, and the joy is beyond words.

Striding to the outside of the mansion, Pei Min saw a man and a woman standing outside the mansion.

The man is a very ordinary literati, and the woman is not outstanding.

But the man's bearing was extraordinary, which did not shock the grandeur of the Guzang Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the woman looked a little restrained and a little uncomfortable.

"Presumably this is Xu Yuan, Mr. Xu!"

Pei Min walked up with a smile.

Xu Yuan said deeply: "Mr. is ashamed, Xu Lingwei of Hangzhou New City has seen the grace of Pei Jiedu and Xie Jiedu's rescue." ”

"Call me Pei Shuai, the festival makes it too angry!" Pei Min was a clichΓ© here, and when he saw Wang Wei trotting closer, he said, "Mr.'s residence has already been prepared, so let Mrs. Maha Lingzun go to rest first." The gentleman is tired from afar, and this is because you have a good rest. It's just that the affairs are heavy, and the business is the first, and the hard work is sir, and the gentleman will follow me into the house......"

Pei Min is self-cooked, and his actions are slightly domineering.

Xu Yuan didn't have time to react at all, and had already let Pei Min pull him to the mansion, so he had to turn around and give his wife a look, asking her to obey Wang Wei's arrangement.

Pei Min is so warm and thoughtful, Xu Yuan is also relieved, I believe that he will not treat his family badly.

Pei Min said as he walked: "A few days ago, a certain lady was happy, which made her unbearable joy, and she would laugh when she talked to people. When Mr. arrives today, it is double happiness, and I am afraid that I will not sleep well tonight. ”

Xu Yuan was passive all the way, but when he heard Pei Min connect his arrival with his happy son, he was inexplicably moved in his heart.

He is only in his early twenties, a small nameless, and he is not less looked down upon in the book.

Xu Yuan has never been a reckless man, if it were possible, he would never choose to collide with Zhang Qiu and Qiong and talk to him.

It's really impossible to get in touch, whether Xu Yuan is trusting the relationship or sending a post, he is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong are high-ranking festival envoys, where does Xu Yuan, a nobody, have the opportunity to visit?

Because he was forced to be helpless, Xu Yuan chose to stop the horse.

collided twice, Xu Yuan could feel the rejection of Zhang Qiu and Qiong.

But he didn't want Pei Min, whose status was far above Zhang Qiu and Qiong, the most powerful border commander of the Tang Dynasty, to be so amiable and easy to speak.

For people of their own status, they still attach so much importance to it.

The gap between them is not enough to be reasonable.

It wasn't until he entered the council hall of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that Xu Yuan came back to his senses.

The space of the council hall is very large, and the furnishings are not luxurious, but have a heavy feeling.

Xu Yuan can imagine that it is this political hall, and how many decisions are conveyed from here.

Especially in the previous battle of military aid to the Western Regions, it is said that it was just one night, Pei Min gave sixty-one commanders here, and when the three armies did not move and the holy oracle was not reached, he won a decisive victory for thousands of miles, and the victory was determined early.

Xu Yuan thought that his future might show what he had learned in this council hall, and the blood on his body boiled inexplicably.

There was also a man in the hall, also a young scribe, who greeted him with a friendly greeting when he entered.

Xu Yuan hurriedly returned the salute.

Pei Min pointed to the map hanging on the side and said, "Mr. Xu, can you take a look at this map first to see if this second set of strategies is feasible?" ”

Xu Yuan looked at the map, the map is a huge topographic map, which is sewn together with two large cowhides: the detailed paintings on it are Longyou, Hexi, Bashu, Nanzhao, Tubo, and the Western Regions, and the depiction is particularly delicate.

The map is also painted with various symbols representing offense and defense in different colors.

In particular, Pei Min's second set of strategies made him very interested, and he couldn't help asking: "Then the first set is to contain Tibet from the north and south?" ”

"It's not all!" Pei Min said: "The north and south contain Tibet is only the first step, and delaying the construction of Gaochang Cang is the first step. Before the Gaochang warehouse is about to be built, I will deliberately create civil strife in the Western Regions to lure Arabia to attack, that is, Dashi, we are used to saying Arabia here. ”

Why is that? Before Gaochang Cang was built, it caused a war, isn't this equivalent to Gaochang Cang being built in vain? Xu Yuan was a little dazed, Gao Changcang's strategic key naturally couldn't escape his eyes, and he also regarded Gao Changcang as the ultimate winner.

Pei Min shook his head and said with a smile: "The important discerning person in Gaochang Cang knew at a glance that if he waited for everything to be ready and only the east wind was needed to lure the enemy, that lion in Arabia would definitely not be fooled." I don't want to fight this big showdown between East and West with him, killing a thousand enemies and harming a hundred and eight of myself, and I won't do it if I can. Only before the completion of Gaochang Cang, the chaos in the Western Regions will let the lion fall into the scheme. They are all their own people, and they are not afraid to tell Mr. the truth, Gaochang warehouse is a warehouse in a warehouse, a large warehouse around a small warehouse, first build a small one, used to store grain, and surround a large one outside. Kokura can't store much food, but it's just within the plan, and it's enough to break the enemy! It's just that...... Otherwise, it would be in vain to say all this now. ”

"If we can't contain Tibet, Arabia and Tibet won't even give us the opportunity to build a small warehouse, let alone a big warehouse...... This second option is the only option. ”

Xu Yuan listened to Pei Min talk about his original plan, his eyes were amazed, but also a little ashamed, he boasted that he had seen through Pei Min's grand strategy, and he was quite complacent, and now he found that he had seen through Taicang Yixiao, indicating that the article, the real core of the decisive victory had not been touched at all, and he sighed: "The grass people think that they can see through the calculations of the national government, but they don't want to be just a frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in the well and looking at the sky." ”

Pei Min shook his head and said, "I can't say that, it's not that I despise Mr.'s identity." The amount of information that Mr. Yes's status can access is so much, and from this little bit of information, I can analyze my general policy, and many places even coincide with me, this ability cannot be ignored, and there is no need to be arrogant. Let's take a look at this plan, sir, calculate whether it is feasible, and whether there are any things that can be corrected and improved. ”

Seeing that Pei Min was reluctant to say more, Xu Yuan could only sigh in his heart, if everything was really like Pei Min's budget, maybe the Tang Dynasty would be able to restore the territory of the Gaozong period.

After settling down, Xu Yuan didn't think much about it, and looked at the huge map in front of him.

There are many smudges on the map, and the arrows are deployed in detail.

With Xu Yuan's talent, it is not difficult to see the deep meaning of this map, and after a while, he tried to say: "Guogong is planning to start from the big ...... Arab start? ”

Pei Min nodded and said: "The plan of the north-south attack will not work, and we can only delay time by containing the Arabs." Give us enough time to make sure that the Gochang warehouse can be used. Only by ensuring the availability of logistics will we be able to fight this battle. Winning is not our main goal, our purpose is to make a profit for the benefit of our dynasty. Consume the strength of the whole country and win this battle, even if you win, it will be disgraceful. ”

Xu Yuan asked, "But how did you delay, Fu Laguo?" They're not very reliable, are they? ”

Pei Min waved his hand and said: "I don't count on them, I am counting on the Frankish Kingdom and Persia." ”

Xu Yuan was a little dumbfounded, he had heard of Persia, but in the Frankish Kingdom, he really didn't know anything.

People who are talented often have high hearts.

Xu Yuan is no exception, Xu Yuan's ancestor is Xu Jingzong, although he is a minister, but he also has the right to tilt a dynasty, it is not that he has no political connections, but Xu Yuan disdains to use these political connections, and feels that his ability is enough to get ahead.

Now that he has come to this Guzang, Xu Yuan almost really feels that he is a frog at the bottom of the well.

In fact, not only Xu Yuan, but also Gao Shi and the Tang Dynasty of this era.

No one knows better than Pei Min about the layout of this era of the earth, the Kingdom of France is an ancient country located in the far west, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, and is a feudal kingdom established by the Germanic Franks in Western Europe.

When the Western Roman Empire began to collapse, the Franks took the opportunity to expand their territory and build a Merovingian dynasty with Paris as its capital.

The Arabian expedition to Spain six years ago had already conquered the Visigothic kingdom and reached the borders of the Franks.

Pei Min had heard of Byzantine merchants and had already made contact with the Frankish kingdom.

The means of long-distance and close attack are left by the ancestors.

The Arabs will be diplomatic, and Pei Min is even more powerful than them.

As for Persia, Pei Min said: "Unlike our land attack, they play conquest and then enslavement and servitude. There are deep troubles, and it is easy to rebel whenever there is an opportunity. On our side, we can incite the Byzantines, who promised to support them with weapons and food, and at a critical time, they can delay a rebellion for a while. ”

Xu Yuan was extremely moved when he heard this.

He couldn't hear it, this was Pei Min's real killer move, killing card.

Just imagine, if Pei Min's first strategy goes smoothly, Pei Min will contain the Arab army in the Western Regions, and then the Frankish kingdom will attack the great west of Arabia, Persia will rebel again, and Byzantium will make trouble.

How much energy does Arabian coach Mosley Massa have to face off against Pei Min in the Western Regions?

Pei Min is a rare master of the art of war in the world.

In this kind of situation, is there any reason not to win?

It's a pity that because of the situation in the south, Pei Min made a killing move too early, which is a pity.

Pei Min detailed his second part.

Xu Yuan listened carefully, and while he was amazed in his heart, he also analyzed it according to his own thoughts.

Different people, their way of thinking, their way of thinking are different.

This consideration will naturally diverge in different directions.

Often, these differences are the difference between victory and defeat.

Just as Pei Min thought, in terms of wartime strategy, Xu Yuan was indeed stronger than Gao Shi, who he had specially cultivated.

Pei Min discussed the second plan with him repeatedly, from noon to night.

Pei Min still let go of Xu Yuan and Gao Shi at this time.

Pei Min said: "Mr. Xu, you know your talent, but you are new to the road, and you have not made an inch, and it is not easy to promote too much." If you don't join my shogunate, how about serving as a magistrate? ”

After today's discussion, Xu Yuan was convinced, and said respectfully: "I don't have Pei Shuai's trust so much, I am very grateful to be able to discuss such a secret, and I am willing to serve Pei Shuai." ”
