Chapter 242: Mu Zhi's Advice

successfully subdued Liu Muzhi, which made Wei Shuo very happy, and pulled Liu Muzhi along the way to talk non-stop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He first gave Liu Muzhi a brief introduction to the situation in Hexi, and then entrusted him with important tasks on the spot.

"Daohe is knowledgeable, not surprised when encountering problems, and has the talent to run the country."

"Pontus Hu has decided to appoint you as the right Sima of the Zhenxi General's Mansion to assist me in handling military affairs, I don't know what to do?"

Liu Muzhi was very excited for a moment when he heard this, just now he had a preliminary understanding of Hexi, and knew that the General's Mansion was responsible for all military affairs in Hexi, and the left and right Sima belonged to a high position above 10,000 people under one person.

Even though Liu Muzhi had a premonition that he was going to be reused, he didn't expect to be in such a prominent position as soon as he came.

For a while, he was full of emotion, but he didn't expect that after nearly ten years and still nothing at the age of thirty, he would get what he wanted today.

At that moment, Liu Muzhi teased his clothes and bowed: "Minister Liu Muzhi greets the lord." ”

"Hahaha, Shuo is like a fish in water!"

"Congratulations to the lord for getting another talent."

Saying that, Cui Hong arched his hand and looked at Liu Muzhi: "Liu Sima, welcome to join Hexi." ”

"I dare to assure you that you will not regret your choice today."

"Thank you Cui Gong for your advice."

Although Liu Muzhi is higher than Cui Hong in terms of his position, he does not dare to pose in front of Cui Hong.

Not to mention that Cui Hong is older than him, not to mention that his son Cui Hao is also an important minister in Hexi, and he is trusted by most of the capital, and he is in charge of government affairs with Zuo Changshi Song Xuan.

"Come, everyone, please drink this cup to celebrate Mr. Liu's joining my Hexi."

Next, Wei Shuo, Cui Hong, Fuqu Mengxun, and Liu Muzhi replaced the wine with tea and raised the tea cup together.

After the tea was in his stomach, Wei Shuo apologized to Liu Muzhi again: "Don't blame Daohe, now that I am in Jiangdong, it is inconvenient to act, so I can only settle for a while." ”

"When you arrive in Guzang in the future, Shuo will hold a grand reception banquet for you."

"The lord treats his ministers so generously that the ministers are already self-conscious, how dare they expect the pleasure of the wine banquet?"

"Hey, the Tao is different from this, you are all Shuo's right-hand man, and you will help me unify the world in the future, but it's just a small gift and goods, what is the way?!"

Hearing Wei Shuo's blatant statement that he wanted to unify the world, Liu Muzhi sat there peacefully, as if he had expected it.

Why wasn't Daohe surprised? Could it be that it was expected in advance? ”

Liu Muzhi knew that it was time to show his skills next, otherwise how could he be worthy of Wei Shuo's grace?

Raising a glass and saluting, everyone in the car had another cup of tea, Liu Muzhi thought for a while, and said: "Since I learned that the lord was visiting, the minister also secretly looked for some news from Hexi, so I know that the lord has great ambitions. ”

"I don't know and what do you think about it?"

"Ruochen's expectation is good, Hexi's next strategy will be to enter Guanzhong in the east, and then become a strong Qin."

"Yes! However, it is not easy to enter Guanzhong in the east, and there is still the Northern Wei Dynasty eyeing it next to it. ”

"The purpose of the marriage between Qin and Wei today is self-evident, as long as there is a slight disturbance in Hexi, Wei and Qin are bound to unite to resist Hexi."

"If the situation drags on, it will become more and more unfavorable to Hexi."

"You must know that competing for the top of the world is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat."

"If Murong Chui is old and frail, and loses his enterprising spirit, the power of the Houyan country will gradually fail."

"But Tuoba Jue is different, as long as he is given three or two years, he will inevitably reintegrate the forces of the Wei State and condense into a powerful combat force, and then take advantage of the fact that Hexi is deep in Guanzhong, and plot to the east against Houyan."

"Once Hebei and Youyan belong to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it will be difficult for Hexi to unify the world!"

"Therefore, Shuo must take advantage of the fact that Murong Chuihu is still mighty and Tuoba Jue does not dare to provoke Hou Yan, and first pacify Hou Qin."

Liu Muzhi stroked his palms and praised: "Mu Zhi also heard of the name of the Wei lord Tuoba Jue in his early years. ”

"This person is indeed as the lord said, although he was born in the Hulu generation, he is quite a wise man."

"The lord didn't give him a big opportunity, it was really the best choice."

"However, I would like to ask more, since the Northern Wei Dynasty has the meaning of Tuyan, has the lord ever thought of joining Wei Poyan?"

"Lian Wei Poyan?"

"On the surface, it is Lianwei Poyan, but in fact, it is a false plan to destroy Yu, waiting for the opportunity to annex Xiyan and seize important land in Hedong."

Although Liu Muzhi has a low background, he has a long-term vision and is full of wisdom.

In history, it has played a pivotal role in Liu Yuding's hegemony.

Just like Xun Yuzhi to Cao Mengde and Kong Ming to Liu Xuande, so much so that when he heard that Liu Muzhi was dead, Liu Yu had to give up Guanzhong and return.

Wei Shuo was willing to put so much thought into Liu Muzhi, just because he didn't want this person to be used by Liu Yu.

However, even if Wei Shuo overestimated Liu Muzhi, he never expected that the other party's brain hole would be so big.

He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out, so he had to ask Liu Muzhi for advice.

"Dare to ask Mr. to speak in detail, and I will listen to you."

"From what the lord said just now, once Hexi attacks Hou Qin, the Northern Wei Dynasty will inevitably send troops to intervene because of the cold of the lips and teeth."

"Since the Qin-Wei alliance can't be broken for a while, why do you have to stick to Guanzhong?"

"Dare to ask the lord, if Hexi sends troops to Houyan, will Tuoba Jue still support Murong Trai as hard as he did to support Yao Chang?"

"Hey, this ...... I'm afraid that Tuoba Jue can't wait for Houyan to suffer. ”

"That's right, Tuoba Jue is also greedy for Hou Yan, just because Murong Chui is too famous, so he doesn't dare to provoke easily."

"As long as the lord sends someone to provoke a little, Tuoba Jue will definitely turn to join forces with Hexi to plan for Houyan."

"After obtaining the support of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xiyan is an ally of Hexi, and it is just right to 'borrow the road' to pass by."

"After taking Hedong, the lord can temporarily withdraw his troops and stop fighting, and sit back and watch the Qiang people in Guanzhong fend for themselves."

"At the beginning, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty may join forces to fight Hexi."

"However, with the Northern Wei Dynasty joining hands with Hexi to plot Houyan, Hou Qin will definitely be suspicious, isn't Yao Chang worried that he will follow in Murong's footsteps?"

"Over time, Guanzhong will be chaotic, and then the lord will march from Xiaoguan, Pusaka, and Fushi on three sides, why worry about the injustice in Guanzhong?"

Hearing this, Wei Shuo pondered for a long time, and said in a solemn tone: "This matter is very important, and it is not something that can be decided for a while. ”

"You and I will talk about this first, and then we will return to Hexi in the future, and then we will discuss it with everyone in detail."

……

This time, Wei Shuo went south to Jiangdong in vain, not only successfully opened the southern market, but also abducted four talents.

Everyone returned to the inn smoothly and was about to pack up and leave, but two more people came to the door.

To be exact, people are here to find Gao Jinzhi.

One of the people who came was Gao Jinzhi's lifelong friend Xue Tong, and the other was Xue Tong's good friend, the famous Tan Daoji.

Historically, the three of them introduced each other to each other, and eventually became close comrades-in-arms.

Not long after Gao Jinzhi joined Hexi, Wei Shuo remembered another fierce general, Xue Tong, so he asked Gao Jinzhi to write a letter to summon him.

The reason why Xue Tong was only summoned was that in addition to Gao Jinzhi not knowing Tan Daoji at this moment, Wei Shuo was not sure to recruit Tan Daoji.

Although Wei Shuo is very eager to get Tan Daoji, he knows that the chances are slim.

Tan Daoji is different from Xue Tong and Gao Jinzhi, although he is also from a poor family, many people in his family are officials.

For example, Tan Daoji's eldest brother Tan Shao was engaged in Benzhou, and the second brother Tan Yi also joined the army for Sun Wuzhong and became friends with Liu Yu, and his uncle Tan Zhizhi also served as Sima Daozi Xing to join the army (an informal official position, appointed by each government itself, and its status was slightly lower than that of joining the army).

The Tan family is similar to Liu Mu's family, although it is not as good as a wealthy family, it is also a hundred times better than the destitute people.

After Xue Tong received Gao Jinzhi's letter, he learned that his brother had taken refuge in Hexi, and in addition to being relieved, he was also sincerely happy for the other party.

In the letter, Gao Jinzhi told Xue Tong that he would go to Jingkou with Dadu Escort after a while, and invited him to meet him at that time.

Knowing that his brother would arrive in Jingkou soon, Xue Tong was both excited and excited, especially when he could see the world-famous Daduhu, he couldn't help but be happy.

Later, one day, Tan Daoji came to visit, and Xue Tong told the other party about it again.

Tan Daoji pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally said that he also wanted to see Dadu Hu.

Originally, Xue Tong intended to introduce Tan Daoji and Gao Jinzhi's understanding, so naturally he would not refuse.

So, there is today's unique meeting.

Wei Shuo didn't expect Tan Daoji to come, but since it was sent to the door, there was no reason to let it go, right?

Then he invited: "You are a guest when you enter the door, since everyone knows each other, why don't you come in and have a drink?" ”

Facing Wei Shuo's sincere invitation, Tan Daoji and Xue Tong glanced at each other and walked into the room with their heads held high.
