Chapter 912: The Diplomat
Of course, all this is premised on the fact that the country is strong and rich enough, after all, diplomats are not omnipotent. In history, if it weren't for the strong soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty and the presence of Yang Jian, the "sage khan", I am afraid that the Turks would not honestly obey the arrangement of Changsun Sheng.
Thinking of this, Li Xinchen couldn't help but think of Gu Weijun at the Paris Peace Conference in history, it's a pity that such a talent was born at the wrong time! Although the results of the Paris Peace Conference were pointed out by thousands of people, Li Xinchen knew very well that under the situation of poverty and weakness at that time, Gu Weijun had really done everything he could for the country, at least much more than the keyboard warriors who knocked on the keyboard and scolded him for being traitors in later generations.
But at least now that he is here, he will definitely plan a blueprint for this nation in advance in his lifetime, and Li Xinchen will never allow this nation to go again. Some people may say that the world is impermanent, and it is the law of history to flourish and decline, but as a descendant who has witnessed the history of humiliation and experienced the suffering of revival, even if he knows that such a law exists, how can he allow himself to ignore it?
Li Xinchen, who should at least do it, will definitely not do it, as for what will become of everything in a hundred years, then Li Xinchen will be a little powerless, if the wheel of history is still heavy, so heavy that Li Xinchen can't change it at all, then at least Li Xinchen is also the same as Gu Weijun at the Paris Peace Conference, and he is worthy of his heart.
"At least it can't be for nothing." Li Xinchen muttered.
When he came back to his senses, Li Xinchen found that Changsun Sheng and the others were all quietly looking at him.
Although they didn't know why the general was distracted at this time, they were very smart not to disturb the general, and when they heard the general's whispering, they looked at each other thoughtfully.
What does it mean that the general's not being able to come in vain?
And Li Xinchen smiled to himself, it seems that it is still a little early for him to think so far now, at least now he is still far from reaching the position of 10,000 people.
At the moment, he took the lead in entering the government, and what caught Li Xinchen's eyes was the map of the northwest, and Changsun Sheng, Niu Tong and others subconsciously set their eyes on Li Xinchen, everyone knows that the war in the northwest has been settled, so the next thing is the time for the division of interests and rewards.
Li Xinchen looked at this huge map and was somewhat emotional. Originally, the northwest was the traditional sphere of influence of several families in the northwest, especially as the center of gravity of the Northern Zhou Dynasty gradually shifted to the Central Plains, the Northern Zhou Dynasty's control over Bashu and the northwest naturally weakened to a minimum.
Therefore, in other words, if the Tianshui Liang clan and the Anding Niu clan had not been afraid of the conflict between Sun Ren's hands and the final distribution of interests, in fact, they would have been able to control the entire situation in the northwest at the beginning of the turmoil, but because of their hesitation, the officials who were placed in the northwest by the Northern Zhou Dynasty and loyal to the imperial court were finally able to control the city, causing the situation to become more and more erosive.
Some people may think that this Northwest War is anticlimactic, and Northern Zhou and Li Xinchen started a truce with little contact, but a few people know that in fact, this war could have been avoided.
Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and nodded on the map, and said in a deep voice: "The county guards are recommended by the families in various places. A certain has appointed Cao Zhong as the general of Anbei, the governor of the Yongliang military, and will soon go north to coordinate the formation of the northwest armies. ”
Several representatives of the family looked at each other with awe-inspiring expressions.
Cao Zhong is the absolute descendant of Li Xinchen who has just been transferred from White Emperor City, and he has nothing to do with the northwest before, Li Xinchen asked Cao Zhong to come, which is naturally a warning to these families in the northwest.
"Changsun Sheng!" Li Xinchen then shouted.
"In!"
"Appoint you as the assassin of Yongzhou."
Changsun Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, in disbelief.
With him, a fledgling young man, as the assassin of Yongzhou? Changsun Sheng even felt that there was something wrong with his ears, or Li Xinchen made a slip of the tongue for a while.
"What, no faith?" Li Xinchen said lightly, "When a certain marquis entered Shu, he was younger than you. And a certain has appointed Secretary Hou as the assassin of Liangzhou, the two of you have cooperated well in Tianshui before, this time as long as you run in with Cao Zhong and stabilize the northwest, is it a difficult task? ”
Changsun Sheng only felt that a stream of enthusiasm rushed straight to his head, and he immediately solemnly bowed his hand: "I will not disgrace my mission!" ”
And Li Xinchen didn't mean to talk to these people for a long time, and said directly: "Since that's the case, let's do our own things." ”
After a pause, he looked at Changsun Sheng again: "Ji Sheng (Changsun Sheng), you come with me." ”
Changsun Sheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Li Xinchen. And Li Xinchen turned to the study and said in a deep voice: "Do you know why you want to stay in the northwest?" ”
"The subordinates thought it was because the subordinates had a good understanding of the situation in Guanzhong, and the northwest was a passage for the general to enter Guanzhong, and it was obviously easier to maintain the smooth flow of this road by handing it over to his subordinates." Changsun Sheng immediately said, obviously the answer to this question he was also asking himself just now.
Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "Yes, but this is only part of it, and the other part is to deal with the Turks in the north." ”
Changsun Sheng was stunned for a moment, this was something he hadn't thought about.
"To the northwest to the west is the Hexi Corridor, and to the north is the Hetao, which is the passage for the Turks to go south. Because of Yuwen Yong's Northern Expedition, the Turks are now retracting to Mobei, but it is conceivable that the Turks are likely to make a comeback in the spring of the next year, and Yuwen Chun of Jinyang is not so easy to deal with, if the Turks want to test the strength of the Central Plains, obviously we are the best breakthrough. Li Xinchen said in a deep voice.
Changsun Sheng was probably able to understand at this time that he was a rare Xianbei person under Li Xinchen, that is, a descendant of the northern steppe peoples, and he naturally knew far more about the Turks than Cao Zhong and Hou Mi and other southerners, so Li Xinchen let him stay naturally to help Cao Zhong deal with the Turks.
"There is only the Great Wall on the front line of Yongzhou and Liangzhou that can be relied on, but the Great Wall is still in the hands of Yang Jian, and it is very likely that the Turks who bypass the Great Wall and take the Hexi Corridor into the northwest will turn a blind eye, you have to think of a countermeasure!" Li Xinchen's voice became more and more solemn, in history, at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks were not very honest.
It's almost time now.
The expression on Changsun Sheng's face was also a little solemn, with the northwest that was in ruins, how easy was it to block the Turkic invasion?
However, Changsun Sheng also knew that if he could really stop the Turks, it would be a credit to the sky!
"Cao Zhong has a gentle and steady temperament and is good at defense; Hou Mi is also a general, and he is a reliable general," Li Xinchen said in a low voice, "And you, as the only high-level civil official placed in the northwest, people's livelihood, family, money and food are not trivial matters, you must know what you should do!" ”
Changsun Sheng immediately solemnly bowed his hand: "Please rest assured that the general will go all out." ”
