Pei Shiju said: "Although the situation of Dulan Khan is not good now, there is one thing that Datou Khan does not have, that is, the name, after all, the Western Turks were split from the Eastern Turks, which is equivalent to the side branches, even if they have now dominated the Western Regions, but nominally they still have to submit to Dulan, the great khan of the entire Turkic. ”

"Xingman, if Dulan Khan really wants to attack Dyegan, then he must also be ready for a full-scale war with our Great Sui, he is not a fool, he will definitely find a way to show favor to Datou Khan, lead the Western Turks as a helper, and if necessary, temporarily surrender to Datou Khan as his uncle, and give up the position of Great Khan, it is not impossible to consider. In that case, it will be a strategic decisive battle between our dynasty and the entire Turkic, and it will be necessary to make an all-out attack with the strength of the country, and the line will be full, do you think the emperor and the high servant will agree? ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't speak, he closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said: "I think the emperor and Gao Servant will still make this decision, but now that the south has just been pacified, and Renshou Palace has been built, I am afraid that the emperor and Gao Servant will not choose to start a full-scale war with the Turks at this time, and the decision to make peace with the princess three years later, I am afraid that it is also to prepare for this decisive battle that is destined to come." ”

Pei Shiju smiled: "Xingman, you are really too smart, you can even see this, I really admire you for my brother." Let me tell you the truth, this is how Gao Servant shot was planned, he knew that the Turks were tigers and wolves, and the great war more than ten years ago subdued the Sha Bolu Khan, and also fought for more than ten years of northern stability, but now that the strength of the Turks has recovered, it is time to hit them again. It's just a matter of recuperating for two or three years. Because after all, the DPRK also used troops continuously in the past few years. You need to recover a bit. ”

The corners of Wang Huaqiang's mouth hooked, and he said calmly: "In this way, the emperor and Gao Servant have already set a strategy for a decisive battle with the Turks in three or four years, if I don't do this, they will all find a way to infect the south of the country, right?" ”

Pei Shiju said with a smile: "You can say that, but Ji Lu can't catch up with the changes, and it will be three or four years later." Who can say for sure, maybe in the next few years, Dyegan and Dulan Khan will meet each other, so Gao Servant means to let Dyegan go south as soon as possible, just to feed so many people in their tribe, the cost is huge, because when he went south to occupy the pastures, other tribes have just left these pastures, unable to feed a large number of cattle and sheep, we must provide hundreds of thousands of people to eat rice grain. ”

"In this way, if it is our country that pays for food from the treasury, it will be too obvious. The blind can also see that we are deliberately supporting the dyeing and drying, which may actually irritate the Dulan Khan. Let him do it in advance, so if you, a merchant, can do business with them, the Turks can't say anything, and there is no excuse to betray my Great Sui and attack Dyegan. ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed green: "In this way, I can still contribute to the country, hehe, this time Gao Servant should not blame me for taking the opportunity to fill my pockets." ”

Pei Shiju waved his hand: "The matter has not been decided yet, you can pass me first." You have solved the two questions just now, but you have not answered the most important question, and now the dispute between the domestic princes has intensified.

If you do this, it will undoubtedly trigger a full-scale war with the Turks in the future, and the commander of the war against the Turks will definitely become an important weight on the road to the throne of the future prince, and will force the emperor to make a choice. ”

When he said the last few sentences, Pei Shiju's eyes were blazing, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked directly at Wang Huaqiang, Wang Huaqiang knew that it was probably time for a showdown, and he had not been clear about whether Pei Shiju was involved in Gao Xi's prince group over the years, but listening to Pei Shiju's meaning, it didn't seem like he was testing Gao Xi.

He took a deep breath and said to Pei Shiju: "Hongdae, since you and I have already made an alliance and advance and retreat together, we should put our hearts in our hearts, before answering your question, you tell me first, how involved are you in Gao Servant Shooting?" ”

Pei Shiju sighed and said: "Xingman, in fact, you and I both know that in addition to being loyal to the emperor, Gao Servant is also loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, presumably he has also looked for you, let you be loyal to the prince and protect the country." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Hongdae, let's be straight, have you promised Gao Servant to join the group loyal to the prince?" ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "No, if I join that group, then it is impossible to be friends with you today." ”

Wang Huaqiang said "oh": "Since you haven't joined this group, how can you know if I've joined?" Listen to what you mean, it should be Zhilu Dao that I am not in this group. ”

An intriguing expression flashed on Pei Shiju's face: "If you join the group of Gao Shiju, then you will not be dismissed last time, and after you come back from Lingnan, it is even more impossible for you to live at home, Xingman, I am very sure, you, like me, also refused Lord Gao's invitation, but I want to know the purpose of your doing." ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't answer directly, but asked, "Why did you refuse again?" You have been following Gao Servant for so many years, he can be described as a mountain of kindness to you, since he took the initiative to mention this matter to you, I can't think of any reason for you to refuse. ”

Pei Shiju sighed: "If it were just me, then I should naturally follow Enxiang, but after all, I am the branch of the Pei family in Hedong, representing the entire family. Gao Servant Shot and the Prince are sons and daughters, so naturally there is no choice and retreat, and I still have a choice, so I can only be sorry for Gao Servant Shot. ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Then you are not afraid that after Gao Servant and the prince gain power in the future, they will take revenge on you for not taking a helping hand in such a critical situation?" ”

Pei Shiju said: "No, because there are many disciples of a family like me, most of them choose neutrality, at this time, loyalty to the emperor himself is the best choice, as for who he wants to choose as his successor, it is the emperor's family affairs, we foreign ministers can not interfere more, no matter who ascends the throne as the emperor after a hundred years, we continue to be loyal is, he can also understand the original position of our people, it is impossible to retaliate." ”

When Pei Shiju said this, he shook his head helplessly: "Actually, I also persuaded Gao Servant Shot back then, asking him not to be so anxious to tie up with the prince, he has become the head of the empire, even if the prince ascends the throne, his status cannot be higher than now, but Gao Servant Shot insisted that the position of the prince is related to the country, and if the foundation is unstable, the country is turbulent, and he has the obligation to maintain the stability of the country as an important minister, so he insists on marrying the prince." Xingman, you should know very well the person who shoots high, he is high-spirited and does not think much about himself, this is completely out of loyalty. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Gao Servant shoots people to say, it's a little too idealistic sometimes, the prince doesn't seem to be worthy of his full assistance, he was very familiar with current affairs when he was in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I don't know why Lu Dao is so stubborn this time." ”

Pei Shiju's face changed slightly: "It's not good to talk about these things behind your back, okay, let's stop here, you still talk about why you would refuse Gao Servant's solicitation." It stands to reason that you are from a merchant family, and without the drag of a family like us, you should not miss this opportunity. Many of your tactics are very suitable for the battle for the throne, and the high servant should need your help as well. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, you are scolding me for being ruthless, and the methods I use are not visible, can you just help Gao Servant to do something that is not on the table?" Ha Lu Ha. Well, since you've confessed, I don't have to hide my thoughts, it's very simple, I don't see the possibility of winning with the high servant, and I don't want to accompany him to jump into the fire pit. ”

A cold light flashed in Pei Shiju's eyes, and his voice raised slightly: "At least His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position is very stable now, why do you say that Gao Servant and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be defeated?" (To be continued......)
