If it was before, Yang Xuangan would definitely be shocked when he heard this, but after a deep conversation with Wang Shichong in Guzang last time, he had already understood Yang Jian's checks and balances, so it was not surprising, he just let out a soft "oh".

Changsun Sheng continued: "So I am not loyal to the crown prince, nor Yang Yong, but the emperor, after thinking about it, it is the emperor who has been promoting me and supporting me in the past twenty years, although he is not as generous as the king of Jin, but he has always supported my actions against the Turks, and it is not utilitarian and purposeful." Even before the emperor went to Renshou Palace this time, he didn't forget to hand over the defense of Daxing to me, can I not repay this kind of kindness? ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly laughed: "General Changsun, you don't need to conflict with us to repay the emperor's kindness, the change of guard is indeed an order from the prince, but this is also to prevent Yang Yong and his party from fighting to the death, and it will not be detrimental to the emperor." You also saw the emperor like that, can you delay it for a few more days? Is it necessary for the prince to do such a thing at this time with the infamy of killing his father? ”

"If the emperor returns to heaven, the throne will naturally fall into the hands of the prince, when the emperor is there, in order to protect his throne, it is necessary to keep Yang Yong to contain the prince, and if the emperor is not there, the prince ascends the throne, is it possible to keep a Yang Yong to do it right with himself? A person as smart as General Changsun wouldn't have thought of this. ”

Changsun Sheng said in a deep voice: "If I just take refuge in the prince, then I have already had a friendship with him for more than ten years, do I still need to change the court." Now I am loyal to the emperor, and when the crown prince officially ascends the throne as emperor. Naturally, I would turn to him for allegiance. So now all I have to do is do my part. Don't think much else. You also said that this is the order of the crown prince, not the emperor, so I can't help you two now. ”

Yang Xuangan didn't expect to say so much, Changsun Sheng still refused to let go of himself, and he couldn't help but feel deflated in his heart.

Li Mi suddenly walked over and said with a smile: "General, I'm afraid you are not loyal to the emperor, but waiting." ”

Changsun Sheng's face changed: "Li Mi." What do you mean!? ”

Li Mi glanced at Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuangan resisted his curiosity, walked to the tent door and became a guard, but his ears were erected high, listening to Li Mi's subdued voice: "General Changsun, are you waiting for the emperor to send someone to send a secret decree, such as releasing Yang Yong immediately?" ”

Changsun Sheng's expression was cold and stern, his eyes kept rolling, his hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to be making a fierce struggle and choice in his heart.

Li Mi knew that he had guessed correctly this time. I was secretly happy in my heart, but my voice was more compelling in the calmness: "It's been an hour since we came in." And there is no news from Renshou Palace, it is said that if something really happens there and the emperor wants to make a move, someone should have come here a long time ago, and directly use the code you said and the emperor to inform you, but why has no one come for so long? ”

The muscles on Changsun Sheng's face were throbbing, and the two scars were twisting like centipedes at this time.

Li Mi's voice continued to sound coldly: "General Changsun, you saw early on that our edict was not written by the emperor, but you didn't order us to be taken down at the first time, but told us so much, your General Changsun won't suddenly face us two juniors, can't resist the urge to tell your own story, the only explanation is that you are now watching and hesitating!" ”

"You don't want to betray the emperor, you don't want others to do things that are unfavorable to the emperor, but you also don't want to gamble your life and your wife and children for this. If you take us down or kill us, you will completely turn your face with the prince, and if the prince ascends the throne, you will be the first to be destroyed. ”

Changsun Sheng yelled: "Don't say it!" His dark face was swollen red, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Li Mi smiled slightly: "No, today's juniors must analyze the stakes for the general, lest the general stumble into a thousand years of hatred, and then look back and not have a hundred years of body." When the time comes, General Changsun's first name, including your Changsun family, will be ruined in your hands, aren't you afraid? ”

When Changsun Sheng heard this, he calmed down a little, not as excited as just now, he took a long breath, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you helping me?" What's in it for you? ”

Li Mi glanced at Yang Xuangan, who was standing at the door, staring at him motionlessly, his expression became a little lonely, he sighed, and said, "Not for anything else, just because you are the hero that my eldest brother worships." ”

Li Mi turned his head, looked at Changsun Sheng's eyes full of astonishment, and said, "It's also the hero that I Li Mi worships." ”

Changsun Sheng was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Li Mi, are you laughing at the general?" I've just told you so much, I'm afraid that in your eyes, my eldest grandson Sheng is just a whimsical, narrow-minded, traitor seeking glory. Will you still worship me? ”

Yang Xuangan's voice sounded quickly: "No, in Xuangan's heart, after listening to the general's words just now, my respect and worship for you are even better than in the past, because you left the prince not for your own glory and wealth, but for the sake of our future generations. ”

Li Mi nodded: "This is also the idea of the juniors." Before coming here, the younger generation only thought that although the general had made great contributions to the dynasty, his means were really disgraceful, and he was really not a hero because he was half-hearted and changed the court. ”

"But when I saw it today, General Changsun had the sun and the moon in his heart, loved the common people, and was even more loyal to the emperor, which was really admirable. No matter how this incident ends in the end, in Li Mi's heart, General Changsun is a well-deserved hero. ”

Changsun Sheng's eyes were a little red, he took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and said: "Okay, I believe you this time, but Li Mi, you haven't said that you want to cooperate with you yet, you just said that you plan for me and want to help me, I want to hear why cooperating with you is to help yourself?" ”

Li Mi smiled. "Actually, the reason is very simple. The general should be able to understand more or less. I just don't want to say it or I don't want to face it. This is the first one, if the general orders to do it here now, take down the two of us, what is the result? ”

When Changsun Sheng heard this, he suddenly became happy, and said with a smile: "Li Mi, I thought you could have something to say, but I was a little disappointed when I said this." This is the general's handsome account. I'm going to take you down, it's not a matter of words? The four words of military orders are like mountains, you can ask your eldest brother Yang Xuangan. ”

Li Mi shook his head: "You can give orders, but whether your subordinates will listen to you is two different things." You say that the two of us have bad intentions, but we have the emperor's official edict in hand, and you may have made an agreement with the emperor that you must make some marks on the token or the edict to recognize it, but will ordinary soldiers know about this agreement? ”

Changsun Sheng sneered and said, "Those sword and axe men just now are all cronies and guards who have followed me for many years. Some of them you should be able to see are the Turkic warriors I have subdued in the steppe. I just ordered them to cut off his own mother, and they won't blink their eyes, and they won't care about any holy decrees and edicts, do you want to try it? ”

Li Mi smiled "hehe": "I, Li Mi, am not high in martial arts, a scholar, maybe I can't escape this catastrophe, but my eldest brother's miraculous skills are invincible, heroes are invincible, General Changsun, you know, just rely on your hundreds of personal soldiers, can you take him?" ”

Changsun Sheng was silent, he knew that Yang Xuangan had this ability.

Li Mi continued: "When the time comes, my eldest brother can kidnap the general first, and force you to order the soldiers to lay down their arms, if this plan fails, it is not difficult for him to get out, even in this military camp, as long as the emperor's edict is revealed, declaring that your eldest grandson general intends to rebel, you see who these soldiers and generals of each county will stand on at that time." ”

Eldest Sun Sheng's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word, his eagle-like eyes stared at Li Mi's mouth motionlessly.

Yang Xuangan suddenly understood that this was Li Mi telling him in this way what to do if he tore his face and mobilized troops, he also thought about countless emergencies and responses when he entered this account, and only thought about taking the road and escaping, but it was far less good than Li Mi's method, and he couldn't help but admire the wit and calmness of his righteous brother at once.

Li Mi continued: "This second, even if the general has the ability to hold here, then my eldest brother also has the ability to break out of the encirclement and rush out, if the eldest brother enters the city or returns to Renshou Palace to invite the prince to come in person, it will not be too difficult, once he enters the East Palace, will the general have the confidence to rely on these government soldiers to fight against the five thousand Xiaoguo elites?" ”

Eldest Sun Sheng said coldly: "Go on." ”

Li Mi smiled slightly: "Even if the general is well-arranged and detains or kills the two of us, how can he take these 50,000 troops to Renshou Palace to force the palace?" ”

"Then it's your eldest grandson who will rebel at that time. If your judgment is wrong and nothing happens between the emperor and the crown prince, then how will you explain this matter to the emperor or the crown prince at that time? Detaining or killing the messenger of the edict, if the emperor does not kill you, he must abolish the crown prince, how much do you think this is possible? ”

Changsun Sheng sat in the handsome chair dejectedly, holding his chin in his hand, speechless.

Li Mi took advantage of the fire to rob, took two steps forward, looked directly at Changsun Sheng, and continued: "Even if the impossible is possible, the emperor deposed the crown prince for the sake of your eldest grandson general, and the prince obediently tied his hands and gave up the throne to Yang Yong without any resistance, so your eldest grandson Sheng was favored by Yang Yong and became his right and left hand in the future?" ”

"General Changsun, you should know best that as a sovereign, the most unbearable thing is betrayal, if you betray someone once, you will betray a second time. You will do Yang Guang first, and then Yang Yong, not only will you not be able to become his confidant and important minister in the future, but you will be tabooed by him, and you will definitely get rid of him. ”

Changsun Sheng nodded: "Yes, there is such a possibility, but even so, I would rather die than let people like Yuwenshu come to the Turks." It doesn't matter if I die, if he turns the Turks back into the wolves of the north, then our children and grandchildren will suffer for generations to come. ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly said, "General Changsun, do you know very well what the Yuwen family is doing in the Turks now?" If Yuwenshu is only supporting those three princes, why should he say that it is not good for the future generations of this dynasty? ”

Changsun Sheng sighed softly: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, on this grassland, there are many tribes, and it is not easy to unify the north and south of the desert. I don't know how to be polite, righteous and shameful. Act without scruples. Changsun Sheng's attitude towards Yang Xuangan has changed. Even the title has changed back to virtuous nephew.

"We Han people have been studying since childhood, know the rise and fall of the ancient and modern, know the art of war, and are intellectually superior to ordinary grassland barbarians, but the process of unifying the desert itself is the best practical process, if anyone can defeat their brothers, nephews, and even fathers, and become eagles on the grassland, then the nightmare of the Han people will come."

"The Khan of Qimin is benevolent by nature. It can also be said that he was cowardly and incompetent, but he gave birth to three wolf-like sons, whether these three people joined forces in a group, or fought between brothers to get the last survivor, the threat to our dynasty will far exceed the current Qimin Khan. ”

"Their current power is not strong enough, and they still have to be people with their tails between them, and they dare not move too much, so they can only annex and co-opt some of the surrounding small tribes half-dozen and half-pull, and if no one gives them strong support, most of their lives may be wasted fighting and fighting on the grassland. There is no time and energy to target us. ”

"You know, now the Khan of Qimin does not dare to return to the royal court in Mobei. has been staying in Dali City, so although he can't control the tribes in Mobei, on the other hand, others don't dare to go beyond Da Mo to come to Mo Nan to find him trouble. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to build a city in Monan and turn the grassland into farmland. ”

"In this way, even if we wait for Mobei to decide a winner, it will not be easy to get involved in Monan, even if it is fought for a while, there is no grassland there, and they will not be able to continue to gain a foothold at all, so that I can continue to push forward the defensive line marked by the Great Wall, and it will not take a few decades, at least to advance to the desert area."

Yang Xuangan didn't care about guarding the tent door at this time, so he walked over directly and asked, "Then why didn't the general make it clear to the emperor and let him order this feat that would benefit the future?" ”

Changsun Sheng shook his head: "The emperor is benevolent, and he is also a little stingy, and he is not willing to use the people's power, you see that he thinks it is too luxurious to build a Renshou Palace for himself, and he almost exempted your father's official for this, not to mention the huge project of building dozens of cities in Monan." The Dali City built last time was only a few miles in radius, and he had not yet immigrated to Shibian Tuntian, so he was already very unhappy, let alone such a big deal. ”

"It's not that I haven't said anything to the emperor, but he always said that the world is initially decided, and people are stable, and he wants to learn from Emperor Wenjing of the Han Dynasty, save more money and food for future generations, and leave the conquest of the Quartet to future generations."

Yang Xuangan nodded, he knew that Yang Jian was indeed such a person.

Changsun Sheng continued: "But that's it, Yuwenshu also has to toss, he also wants to learn my method, let the grassland attack each other, and tell the prince that this is my method of using Hu to control Hu, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Yang Xuangan laughed: "Yes, in fact, I have always felt that although Yuwenshu has bad intentions and wants to rob General Changsun of his merits and career, there is nothing wrong with what he said, didn't you also provoke the four khans of Sha Bolu, Datou, Apo, and Tuli to attack and kill each other in order to seek peace in the north for more than ten years?" ”

Changsun Sheng said categorically: "No, it's completely different. The four of them, except for Tuli's slightly weaker strength, the other three all have hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of households, all of them are strong and strong, and they are evenly matched. ”

"Sha Bolu and Datou were the Khans of the Eastern and Western Turks, and Apo was not only a fierce general, but also the son of the former Eastern-Turkic Khan, who was robbed of the Khan throne by Sha Bolu when he was young, and for this reason, Apo also had many sympathizers and supporters in the steppe."

"So if the three of them go to war, they won't be able to win or lose for a while on the grassland, this battle has been fought from the third year of the emperor to the nineteenth year of the emperor, and after the death of Shabalu Khan and Apo Khan, their children, grandchildren and nephews are still fighting, just because their strength is almost the same, and they can continue forever."

"But now it's a completely different situation for all three. They can cooperate with each other first, and then brother to brother, even if they tear their faces and meet each other, they will soon be able to distinguish the winner and loser, because the strength in their hands is not strong, and the fight will not last for many years, and the winner can not only get the entire grassland, but also regain the hearts and minds of the people on the grassland. ”

"The most terrible thing is that these three princes hate our Great Sui, whether it is cooperation or to determine the final winner, they will definitely target our Great Sui, Yuwenshu thought that he could raise a cat like me to play, but he didn't know that he was playing with three man-eating tigers, and he had long wanted to eat his meat."

"In this case, he went to give people money, food, and even life iron, to help these three people grow rapidly, I think they will not only not start a war with each other in the end, but will collude together, just wait for the death of Qimin Khan, they will launch an attack on our dynasty."

Yang Xuangan remembered that Yuwenshu sent his two sons to Shuofang to do pig iron trading, and his heart moved, and said, "How can General Changsun be sure that they will do this pig iron transaction?" ”

Changsun Sheng smiled slightly: "Don't forget, the news network I have laid down on the grassland for many years, there are still many people who are willing to use it for me, although this pig iron transaction is secret, but it is not without a trace, I have found some clues that they did this transaction." What's more, as I just said, the first time they made a transaction, it was my son and grandson Wuxian who pulled the thread! (To be continued......)
