"Nephew doesn't dare." Zhang Duo shook his head, "That Liu Gang's friendship with General Zhengbei, everyone in the north knows about it, no one knows it, since it has been determined that the person who came is his person, but if it can be mastered, it will be useful." ”

"But this move may also anger General Zhengbei," Zhang Bin said bluntly, expressing the worry in Zhang Duo's heart, "And sitting here, but not following the marshal south, maybe it will really be that Nie Daoren who will take the lead, slowly increase his importance in the mind of the marshal, and finally be squeezed out, or simply become a senior minister and not be reused, this is what you are worried about, yes or no?" ”

When Zhang Duo heard this, he nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "What is my uncle's plan, the marshal stopped the Eastern Crusade, let go of Zu Li, and pinned his hopes on the civil strife in Hejian, that's it, now the king of Jiangdu is seriously ill, the three counties in the east are leaderless, and the Tu Bo of Qingzhou went to Luoyang with soldiers and horses, a golden opportunity, as long as the three eastern counties are taken, seven or eight out of ten of the entire Jizhou are in hand, the population is large, and the source of soldiers is abundant, as long as you rest and recuperate, you can have a stable army in less than three years, and then ......"

"What then?" Zhang Bin didn't wait for his nephew to finish speaking, then shook his head and interrupted, "Even if you become an army in three years, you will attack there in the future?" To the east is the sea, and where is it to cross the sea? If you can't take this road, can you attack the north? ”

Zhang Duo hesitated for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "The Chen clan in the north is unfathomable, with more than 10,000 men and horses, he overturned Wang Jun's territory, and in the midst of everyone's shock, he sent troops to the outside of the fortress, forcing the strong rise of the Murong clan to bow his head and capture the brave generals of the Tuoba Department. On the basis of the original single-tip cannon, it can collapse thunder and fall into the sky, although it is an exaggeration, but it must not be a rootless tree. ”

Zhang Bin smiled faintly and asked again: "So what do you mean is that after the marshal builds a solid foundation three years later, if he goes north to attack the secluded, it will actually be difficult to win?" ”

"Compared with Youzhou, Jizhou has many advantages and disadvantages, among which the population is the top priority, Youzhou is also a halfway local, but in terms of population, it cannot be compared with Jizhou, a large population town, if Jizhou is the basis, the future commander should be stronger than Youzhou, but after all, Youzhou has a general who conquers the north, and the expedition may be insufficient, but it is enough to defend." As he spoke, Zhang Duo looked up at his uncle's expression.

Zhang Bin didn't say anything obviously, but just asked: "So, do you think that the north is unfortunate, so can you attack the west?" ”

Zhang Duo didn't think about it, so he shook his head directly and said: "In the west, it is the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom, it cannot be attacked, not to mention that the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is the banner of the current handsome. ”

Zhang Bin didn't ask deeply, so he continued to ask: "Then it seems that we can only attack the south." ”

"The ...... in the south" Zhang Duo also realized that something was not right, "The south is not easy to attack, the more south you go, the stronger the power of the imperial court, and below Jizhou is the central hinterland, next to Gyeonggi, close to the surroundings of Luoyang, a little wind and grass, it may attract many reactions, and when the time comes, under the siege of men and horses, sooner or later it will be exhausted, even if it can't, it is equivalent to helping others contain the strength of the imperial court, not to mention ......"

Speaking of this, his face showed a look of worry, and he lowered his voice and said: "The imperial court is currently weakened by several clans, and it has lost control of the surrounding areas due to infighting, but in three years, maybe the king of Jin will sit firmly, and all the clans that will be committed in the future will be flattened, and then it will be necessary to concentrate on leveling the four troubles, and the closer to Luoyang, the more likely it is to be selected as a typical example and used to kill chickens and monkeys." ”

"Looking at your appearance, it is clear that you are beginning to regret following my uncle and coming to this army." Zhang Bin laughed, looked at his nephew who was a little cramped, shook his head lightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the reason why you think that you will be liquidated in the future is that you think that the imperial court can still get better, and the future is still a peaceful world, but I don't know that the chaos in the world is not far away, otherwise how can I really feel at ease to assist Shi Le?" ”

Zhang Duo was shocked when he heard this.

He knew the ability of his uncle, and almost everything he expected, he almost did everything in his heart, and he was even more convinced of what Zhang Bin said, so he came to take refuge.

It's just that he also wondered in his heart, with his uncle's talent and learning, how could he be committed to a reckless person like Shile because of the coercion of his family, relatives and friends? After all, with Zhang Bin being respected and trusted by Shi Le, the clansmen, relatives and friends who were originally used as hostages have slowly regained their freedom, and if they really wanted to leave, they would have been able to leave a long time ago.

After contacting Shile, I noticed that although this person was illiterate and quite rough, he had something extraordinary, and he was even more faintly successful, which made him feel a little relieved, but what he thought in his heart was nothing more than to take advantage of the weakness of the court and the chaos around him to assist the leader of the Qianren to gain power, and when it came to the critical moment, he might accept Zhao'an and ask for a background.

In fact, this is also the original intention of many children of poor families to seek refuge in foreign clans.

In the original history, Wei Cao, Wei Xiong's uncle, relied on a wave of operations in the Tuoba Department to win the reward and recognition of the imperial court, and even had a knighthood.

In the final analysis, this is just a path to advancement, and Zhang Duo didn't think much about it.

But now listening to my uncle's words, it seems that the other party is not thinking like this, and has a deeper consideration, but ......

"Uncle thinks ...... Will the world be chaotic? How is this possible? When he asked this, Zhang Duo was a little frightened, so that his voice was extremely low.

Because Zhang Bin was close, he could hear it clearly, so he put away his expression and nodded: "That's right, this matter is not impossible, thirty years ago, wasn't the world a situation of division, and there were endless wars?" Why doesn't it reappear in the future? Five hundred years before and after the Han Dynasty, which hundred years have not been warliked? It has hardly stopped, and even in the pre-Qin period, it was a dispute among the nations, which shows that it is common for the world to fall apart. ”

"This ......" Zhang Duo was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to answer, he was not very old, and when he was sensible, the world had been unified, and everything he saw and heard was the new Han world, so he naturally thought that the unification of the world should be the norm, and it would last for a long time, "It's just that before Gaozu established the country, Emperor Wu was prosperous, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and there was Guangwu Zhongxing, and now the Han Dynasty has been established for another thirty years, and there should be a prosperous ......"

When Zhang Bin heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Who said that there is no prosperous world?" Then Xuanwu reunification, isn't it a prosperous era? After the four emperors, rebuilding Shenzhou, is Zhongxing, and prosperity and decline is also the norm, now thirty years have passed, and it is time for chaos again, since you and I have arrived at such a day, we should choose a master, protect the group, and become ambitious. ”
