When he heard the name Chen Ping, Li Yu was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this Chen Ping who stole his sister-in-law?

He should belong to the Chu State or the Han State, how could he be subdued before he conquered these two countries?

Doesn't it mean that only after destroying them can you let them be used for their own use?

This is a bit of a situation that does not conform to the system, but this Chen Ping was not drawn out by himself, and was persuaded by Xu Maogong, so the situation may be different, right?

After thinking about it, Li Yu didn't care too much about this, and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know where this Chen Ping is?" ”

"In the minister's house, if the saint wants to see him, the minister can send someone to call him."

Tang Yu thought for a while and shook his head: "No need." ”

"The Holy One doesn't want to use him?" Xu Maogong was faintly a little nervous, and said: "Shengshang, although this Chen Ping steals his sister-in-law and has a bad character, he has talents, please give him a chance." ”

Li Yu smiled bitterly: "Xu Aiqing misunderstood, I don't think I need to ask him to come to the palace, I will follow you to the mansion to see him, so as not to let you run back and forth, let's go." ”

This made Xu Maogong a little shocked, for the sake of a Chen Ping, Li Yu actually ran in person?

But that's fine, in this case, Chen Ping will be willing to serve Tang Guo.

After the two said so, they left the palace.

The mansion of Duke Xu Mao.

After Chen Ping came, the next person prepared a room for him.

And while he was resting in the house, a subordinate suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Mr. Chen, come out quickly, the Holy One wants to see you." ”

Hearing that the Tang Emperor wanted to see him, Chen Ping was a little surprised, this is much stronger than when he followed the Han Kingdom, but he didn't even see Liu Jibang's face, now it's okay, when he came to the Tang Kingdom, Xu Maogong said that the Tang Emperor was going to summon him directly.

However, he was not in a hurry, and was about to pack up and go again, but the subordinate next to him saw this, but he couldn't wait, and said: "Mr. Chen, don't be busy, the saint is waiting in the living room, are you embarrassed to let the saint wait?" ”

"Waiting in the living room?" Chen Ping was dumbfounded, the palace didn't have a living room.

"Yes, it's in the house, you hurry up."

At this time, Chen Ping was dumbfounded, Li Yu actually came directly?

You're not that important, are you?

This flattered him a little, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurried to the living room.

When he came to the living room, he immediately saw Li Yu and Xu Maogong, it was a man younger than him, although he was majestic, but he was not domineering, and people couldn't help but have some good feelings.

Chen Ping came in and hurriedly saluted, Li Yu glanced at him and said, "You are the Chen Ping that Xu Aiqing said, okay, this is not the palace, there is no need to be so polite." ”

The words are very warm, Chen Ping's tears of emotion are about to come out, this kind of treatment has never been done before.

"Your matter, Xu Aiqing has already told me, Xu Aiqing said that you are a talented person, you can tell me, how to destroy the Chu State, how to make my Tang Kingdom strong, and what should I do next." After a simple greeting, Li Yu began to ask, and asked several questions at once, for these questions, Chen Ping was not nervous, and said: "Holy Lord, it is not difficult to destroy the Chu State, Chu Emperor Chu Yu is a stubborn and self-serving person, although he is superior in force, but he is often very reckless.

”

As soon as he finished saying this, Xu Maogong retorted: "But many things in the Chu State don't look like they are reckless. ”

Chen Ping smiled lightly and said: "That's true, and this is the key to destroying the Chu State, the reason why the Chu State can have today is that Prime Minister Fan Zeng's contribution is indispensable, and his existence has also made Chu Yu take a lot of detours and make a lot of mistakes, but as long as Fan Zeng goes, the Chu State will definitely go back forever." ”

"What do you mean, you want to find a way to get rid of Fan Zeng?"

"The best way is naturally to drive a wedge between their monarchs and ministers."

"If there is a separation, Chen Aiqing has a good plan?" Tang Yu asked.

"If the saint can trust the minister, the minister is willing to sneak into the Chu State and divide them."

Risky things, but at this time, Chen Ping did not hesitate at all, and nodded after listening to it: "Okay, I can naturally trust you, if you are willing, it will be great, and as long as Aiqing can succeed, I will have a heavy reward." ”

"Thank you." "Go on." Tang Yu took a sip of a cup of tea, Chen Ping bowed his head, and then continued: "The strength of the Tang State is actually beyond the imagination of the minister, the saint in the development of the economy and the military, by no means can be compared with the minister, so the minister will not say how to make the Tang State strong, the minister will only say what to do next, now the Chinese countries, the war is endless, but all the sons of heaven have a heart to dominate the world, if Tang wants to dominate the world, he needs to first the north and then the south." "First north and then south?" Li Yu asked with some curiosity, Chen Ping nodded: "Yes, now that the Chinese countries have gradually become a climate, small countries will definitely be slowly annexed, and finally there will be a few superpowers, south of the Tang Kingdom, at least several superpowers will appear, the situation in the south will be very complicated, and the strength of these countries is not weak, if the saint wants to compete with them for the world, he must clear the Turkic troubles in the north, and there are no worries, so that he can compete with these countries." "Then there is that these countries in the south are complicated and difficult to deal with, and the biggest enemy in the north is the Turks, and if the Turks are wiped out, the worries will be reduced, and they can concentrate their forces to deal with these in the south, and after having the steppes of the Turks, the Tang State can vigorously develop cavalry, and the more cavalry, it will be easier to deal with other countries."

Cavalry is always a very important existence, those countries in the south have no pastures, no grasslands, their cavalry is underdeveloped, if the Tang country is powerful in cavalry, plus Tang Dao, it will be a very invincible existence. Chen Ping told Li Yu about the situation, and after Li Yu listened, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, many people are unified, and they all like to go south and then north, because the alien races in the north are relatively barbaric and difficult to get rid of, and they are relatively easy to appease and give them some benefits, when you fight with these countries in the south, they will not bother you.

But the countries of the south are not easy to say.

But the premise is that the southern countries are easy to destroy and not strong, but this is not the case with the Chinese countries today, the southern countries are very powerful, and the Turks are the easiest to destroy.

Moreover, the Tang State also needed Turkic pastures and steppes to raise horses and provide cavalry for the Tang State.

After destroying Chu, what he has to do next is definitely to destroy the Turks. Only the Tang State, which has no worries, can compete with other countries for hegemony in the world.
