Chapter 166: Advice to Dugu Huai'en
Zhang Zhongjian clapped his hands and praised: "The lord is wise! That's right, I said so much below, just to expose Li Shimin's sinister intentions! ”
Dugu Huaien thought about it, and said in a daze: "Even if Li Shimin is slanderous, but Li Yuan still hasn't changed my general, but what is the reason why he didn't give any reward for this success!?" ”
Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile: "I thought that it was because the lord had just been awarded the position of secretary of the Ministry of Industry not long ago, and Pu Ban was won by a fierce battle, and the king of Tang was not good at how to reward him, and he wanted to wait for the lord to reward him after adding new merits!" ”
"Rich, what do you think this seat should do now?" Dugu Huaien asked.
Zhang Zhongjian hugged his fists and said: "Lord, there is a strategy to dedicate to the lord, and the lord can use this strategy to further enhance his status in the heart of King Tang!" ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! Dugu Huaien sat up straight and asked.
Zhang Zhongjian said solemnly: "The lord can make a suggestion to the king of Tang and ask for troops to be sent to the eastern capital!" In order to make this strategy work, the lord still needs to talk to Pei Lin and Pei Servant in advance, as long as he has his support, Tang Wang will be easy to do! ”
"Sending troops to the Eastern Capital? The reason? Dugu Huaien asked.
Zhang Zhongjian smiled and asked rhetorically: "What does the lord think, what is the trouble in the heart of King Tang now?" ”
"Sui Ting!? You mean the Holy King's Master on the Northern Expedition? Dugu Huaien's eyes lit up and said.
"Exactly!" Zhang Zhongjian smiled slightly, and analyzed: "My lord, in order to get the support of the family, the Tang King controlled Xijing in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and supported His Royal Highness the Acting King. The king of Tang is under the banner of the Great Sui, but he is usurping the Sui, morally, he can't justify it, that is, now he controls Guanzhong, so everyone listens to him. But once the situation in Guanzhong or the world changes, the situation in Guanzhong is not easy to say! ”
"Therefore, the legitimacy of the Tang Dynasty's regime is a bit untenable, and now, the Holy Lord is attacking Liyang with all his strength with the Northern Expeditionary Wang Division, and the situation in the world is concentrated in the Central Plains, and the decisive battle between Li Mi and the Holy Shang is not only the life and death of Sui Ting and Li Mi, but the direction of the whole world!"
Dugu Huaien squinted and said, "Oh, I kind of understand what you mean!" You are saying that once the Holy Lord defeats Li Mi, there is hope for the revival of the Sui Court, and a large number of families that were originally on Li Yuan's side will turn to the Sui Court, and the legitimacy of the Li Tang regime will be greatly weakened, which is an extremely unfavorable situation for Li Yuan! ”
"The lord's high opinion coincides with the subordinate!" Zhang Zhongjian first patted a sycophant, and then continued: "In addition to the above one, there is another reason for King Tang to send troops to the Eastern Capital! Now Li Mi has millions of soldiers, many good ministers and fierce generals under his command, and his strength is the best among all the princes, and he is concentrating 300,000 elites to storm the eastern capital, once the eastern capital is broken by Li Mi, the Sui court will inevitably collapse, and the morale of the holy Northern Expedition King may also be greatly damaged, and even cause the collapse of the whole army! If this is the case, then Li Mi not only collected all the elite troops such as the Xiaoguo Army and the Right Yiwei Water Division, and his strength has increased greatly, but also the family and the people of the world who were still watching on both sides will further think that Li Mi is the end of the troubled times, and he also responded to the prophecy of the "Tao Li Zhang", and turned to Li Mi, and the resulting cascading effect is enough to affect the whole world! ”
"If things come to this point, this must be something that King Tang doesn't want to see. Li Mi, like him, was born in the Guanlong family, and they are all one of the five surnames and seven wangs, after the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, the status of the two is almost the same, but the prestige is far apart, Li Mi can eat well in the family and the green forest. If Li Mi's power surpasses that of King Tang, King Tang's status as the leader of Guanlong will also be lost, and many people will turn to Li Mi, and the hearts of the people in Guanzhong will also become blurred. ”
"And Li Mi's strategic vision is extremely unique, he must be able to see that the biggest opponent who eliminated the Sui court and hindered him from unifying the world is the Tang King, and Dou Jiande in Hebei is now headed by Li Mi, solving his worries, Li Mi will definitely take the lead in destroying the Tang King after rectifying the internal affairs and digesting the army of the Sui Court, in order to consolidate his position, as long as he can destroy Li Tang, annex Guanzhong, and sit on the two bellies of the East Capital and Xijing, then the world is basically his Li Mi!"
After listening to Zhang Zhongjian's analysis, Dugu Huaien carefully pondered the taste inside, and after a long time, he praised: "Mr. has hit the nail on the head, he is really talented!" ”
Zhang Zhongjian said modestly: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the problem from the perspective of King Tang!" I guarantee that as long as the lord can pull Pei Lin to make suggestions to the Tang King, the Tang King will definitely adopt your suggestion and give you the actual military power! ”
"Mr. has such a great talent, why do you want to succumb to my Dugu Huaien's subordinates, will you go directly to Pei Lian?" Dugu Huaien narrowed his eyes into a slit, and suddenly said coldly.
Facing Dugu Huaien's death gaze, Zhang Zhongjian didn't panic at all, he laughed at first, and then said: "Lord, I have a very clear judgment of my own ability and can correct my position, so I will never think about a position that shouldn't belong to me!" I'm a person, I just want to keep the wealth of the first generation and leave a legacy for future generations, as for the matter of worshipping the marquis, I dream of it, but I won't do it! ”
"Why? It is the lifelong wish of everyone who has learned to succeed, right!? Dugu Huaien asked.
Zhang Zhongjian sighed: "Because of my background! Born humble in the next, he is not a person in Guanzhong, even if he is an official, no one can help him, he can't be promoted, even if someone is promoted, he can't preside over the overall situation in the next place, he still has to be cautious, always walking on thin ice, that taste, it's too uncomfortable! ”
"The Guanlong area has always been a place to talk about feelings, and he Pei Lin Pei is a good person who has a good personal relationship with the Tang King, even if he lacks the ability to govern affairs, he can still be afraid of the position of prime minister! In the Guanlong world, they have the same aspirations on the issue of interests, and they are outsiders, no matter how big the official position and high status, it is difficult to integrate into their circle. Besides, being an official has never been a safe errand, and you can see these realities clearly, so you will vote for the lord's door to seek refuge! ”
Hearing this, Dugu Huaien laughed and patted Zhang Zhongjian's shoulder and said, "Fugui, you are really an understanding person!" Let's go, I'll take you with me to visit Pei Lian! ”
