After visiting Wen Huanzhang, Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong stayed overnight in Anren Village. On the second day, we departed early and headed back to Tokyo. Wang Lingguan hadn't seen Wang Lun for a long time, and Wen Huanzhang specially asked him to follow Wang Lun back.

For the development of Liangshan, Wang Lun has a plan. However, Wang Lun still humbly asked Xu Guanzhong for advice.

Xu Guanzhong, a living map, marched around the world, knew everything about the world, groaned a little, and said to me confidently: "Today, Xu has three strategies, but the world can be safe." ”

"How do you call it the upper, middle and lower three strategies, and would you like to hear them in detail?" There are not many characters in the Water Margin who can be used as military advisors, but Xu Guanzhong is definitely a top figure, and Wang Lun is full of expectations for him.

Wang Lingguan knew Wang Lun's ambition, and he also had the heart to assist Wang Lun to achieve a career, and he was also very attentive to Xu Guanzhong's words.

"The capital of the Great Song Dynasty is Bianjing, extending in all directions, the place of the four wars, more thousands of miles of Pingchuan, there is no danger to defend. Therefore, only the forbidden army is strong, and the Xiang army is weak, and the world's combat power is seven points in Gyeonggi. Today, the land of Shandong and Hebei is fertile, and it has the benefits of salt and iron transportation, and the former Qi Huan borrowed it to become the industry of the king, and the son can accumulate grass and grain and horses. When the court is weak, it can be divided into one side in one fell swoop, and if the court is conquest, it can bribe the ministers with thick coins, and it will be able to recruit peace. Then support the army and self-respect, wait for the Jin State soldiers and horses to go south, lead the troops to the king, the Qing monarch side and behead the traitors, appease the Jiangnan Wang clan, the boundary can be drawn the Yellow River as the boundary, when the Jin State loses its sharpness, slowly use the army to gradually recover, can be a generation of Zhongxing famous ministers, into the king Xie immortal merit......"

Wang Lun thought carefully about Xu Guanzhong's strategy, and said slowly: "This is the next policy!" ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded in agreement.

Wang Lingguan also learned a lot from Xu Guanzhong, and said secretly: This strategy is not a bad move! If you can succeed, your life will not be in vain.

Xu Guanzhong is worthy of outstanding resourcefulness, and his strategy is very close to the strategy of Zhao Jianjian to establish the Southern Song Dynasty. Xu Guanzhong could foresee this, and he was indeed a master in the world.

"What's the middle point?" Wang Lun asked, this strategy is still a little too far for his ideals, and he is still the original emperor, will the life of the common people change, and it is not cool to have to look at Jin Guo's eyes.

"If you act according to the central policy, you must also take Hebei and Shandong as the foundation, look at Huainan, and wait for the chaos in the world, then take the field to Tianjin, you can take Yanjing and Bohai, and you can take Yingtian Jiangdong. Jin Qiang was connected to the Song Dynasty, and Song Xing was with Jin, and the Western Xia was echoed. Then the world can be determined, the great cause can be accomplished, for one of the princes, this Cao Liu Sun generation of the male, is also the middle policy. ”

There is a historical basis for fixing the base camp in the northern Shandong and Hebei provinces. Even if the world is divided, there are traces to follow.

However, it is not a man's work to divide one side for himself and plunge China into a civil war for a long time. If Wang Lun chooses this strategy, it will be a traitor in troubled times.

Xu Guanzhong looked at Wang Lun quietly, waiting for his reaction. Even Wang Lingguan, who had not spoken, had a sinking face. "This ......" Wang Lun's brows furrowed.

It's good that you don't need to recruit An, but it is not your wish to collude with the Jin State and go to war with the Song Dynasty together.

Wang Lun hugged his fist at Xu Guanzhong and said bluntly: "Would you like Mr. Wen to make a decision?" ”

Hearing Wang Lun's question, Wang Lingguan was obviously relieved. Although he has the closest relationship with Wang Lun and is full of confidence in Wang Lun, he is afraid that Wang Lun will choose this strategy.

"If the middle and lower policies are not taken, then Hebei and Shandong will be the foundation, relying on the court as the table, and supporting the army will be self-respecting. Envelop important ministers, grasp the important places in the south of the Yangtze River with cronies, wait for the war to start, and stand by in the name of King Qin. Coerced the Son of Heaven to return to the south of the Yangtze River, followed the story of Chen Qiao, and forced the Son of Heaven to concede. If the gold silk is in the Jin country and turn into a hostility, the Yangtze River can be drawn as the boundary, and the north and south can be divided, which can be the cause of the emperor. ”

Hearing Xu Guanzhong's words, Wang Lun became more and more boundless, and Wang Lun was a little angry. "What is Brother Xu talking about? Wang Lun's dignified husband, how can he follow Shi Jingtang! If you want to be such an emperor, don't do it! ”

"Good!" Wang Lingguan and Wang Lun shared the same hatred, standing behind Wang Lun and clapping, "Young master, what you said is good!" ”

"Hahahaha," Xu Guanzhong stroked his beard and said with a long smile, "Brother is really arrogant, and he said it happily," he said, Xu Guanzhong arched his hand, "How can I Xu Guanzhong not know where the righteousness lies, what Shicai said is just a temptation." If the brother takes any of these strategies, please forgive me for not being able to follow him. ”

Only then did Wang Lun and Wang Lingguan know that it turned out that Xu Guanzhong had come to call Wang Lun two catties, and they were a little relieved.

"You! You! But the suspicion is too heavy! Wang Lun pointed at Xu Guanzhong unceremoniously and shook his head helplessly. Don't you want me to dig my heart and lungs! ”

Power makes people lose themselves, after Wang Lun's lobbying of Wen Huanzhang yesterday, Xu Guanzhong has to determine Wang Lun's mind and ambition. At this time, it seems that his choice is not wrong.

"I hope my brother will forgive my sins!" Xu Guanzhong stopped, saluted Wang Lun and said: "Brother has a lofty mind and thinks of the common people in the world, and he is really a good teacher and friend of Xu!" ”

Wang Lun also hurriedly supported Xu Guanzhong, only to hear Xu Guanzhong say: "Brother said a few days ago that in less than 20 years, troubled times will come. This troubled era was not compared to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Rebellion, when all countries were divided, and they were all of Chinese descent. There was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it was okay to call the king and the marquis. Until the great unification, it is from the troubled times to the ruling world, so it conforms to the will of the people. At present, it is from the rule of the world to the troubled times, and those who go south are all alien barbarians, and when this nation survives, if the soil is split at this time, it will be spurned by the world, and it is impossible to do it. At that time, the court will hold high the banner of righteousness, the world will inevitably follow the clouds, and the people's hearts will inevitably return. ”

Hearing what Xu Guanzhong said, Wang Lun's mind was heavy, "What should it be?" ”

Xu Guanzhong took out a small fold from his arms, handed it to Wang Lun, and said: "If a brother wants to seek great things, he should plan for a long time, and make a plan for everything, and not care about temporary gains and losses. If you stick to one short and long, one gain and the other lose, and now you win and lose, although it has gone through many years, it is not enough to determine the world and the people. ”

After speaking, Xu Guanzhong pointed to the small fold in Wang Lun's hand, and said: "Xu Moucai is not talented, he has already written a strategy for his brother, please make your own decision!" ”

Wang Lun unfolded the small fold and read three pennies from beginning to end, and was shocked. Xu Guanzhong's excerpt sums up a total of three points. First, unite the insurrectionary forces in various places, which is what Wang Lun is doing. Second, weaken the Jurchen Liao State and drive the tiger and devour the wolf, this is what Wang Lun will do next. Third, it is the most difficult to go deep into the Song Dynasty and win the support of the alliance of scholars and doctors.

What Xu Guanzhong thought was that Wang Lun tried every means to prevent the Jurchen from rising, and he ambushed himself in the court to add fuel to the fire.

"In this way, is Brother Xu sacrificing too much?"

Xu Guanzhong had already planned for a long time, and said freely: "With the current situation, how much can the peasant uprising do?" If I make a good official in Tokyo, I will help you. Moreover, today's saints like poetry and songs, beautiful women, and strange playthings. Through these obscene things, Xu can win his trust. At the same time, he secretly befriended his favored ministers and exchanged news with Liangshan to pave the way for future plans. ”

Wang Lun didn't want to tell Xu Guanzhong about his plan, so he mentioned it himself. After pondering for a moment, he said, "What Brother Xu said is not unreasonable. But when it comes to flattery to make the emperor happy, Cai Jing can be said to be unique in the world, and there are Tong Guan, Li Yan, Liang Shicheng and others, who are treacherous and cunning......"

Wang Lun was afraid that Xu Guanzhong's strategy would fail, putting himself in danger.

Listening to Wang Lun's words, Xu Guanzhong sneered; "Cai Yuanchang's ability is nothing more than three kinds. First, serve the emperor's wishes, act according to the emperor's wishes, say what the emperor can't say, and do what the emperor doesn't dare to do. However, he is in a high position and power, and it is inevitable that he will have some pride. As the so-called high place is unbearable, his small mistake may also cause the emperor's disgust. ”

"Second, calligraphy. This guy does have a set of calligraphy, and it happens that the saint loves calligraphy and painting. But with Xu's attainments in poetry and songs, he is not necessarily inferior to him. ”

"The third is to accumulate wealth, not hesitating to sacrifice the national economy and people's livelihood to please the emperor. Today's food, clothing, shelter and transportation are not so much obtained by gold and silver as by the blood and lives of the people. In doing so, although he won the praise of the saints, Cai Yuanchang's reputation among the people was also insignificant. Once something happens, the government and the opposition are vying for impeachment, even if he Cai Yuanchang has three heads and six arms, he should be overwhelmed. At this time, if we take some more strong medicine, we are not afraid that he will not fall. ”

"In fact, if you want to please the saints, you don't necessarily have to use money to smash it. If you can bring forth the new and play some new tricks, the cost is not large, but it can be exchanged for immeasurable benefits. As for Gao Yu, Tong Guan and others, they all have ghosts, but they are just local chickens and dogs! ”

Seeing Xu Guanzhong talking eloquently, Wang Lun was relieved a lot.

This is exactly what it is: a strategy to determine the world, how many heroic disputes have been caused, the young man has gray hair in a blink of an eye, and he laughs at a few autumn winds.
