If you want to escape, you will be cut with a knife, this is just for the young man, just kidding, such a good seedling, how can he be cut casually.

What's more, the young man's kung fu is from the same family as himself, and he doesn't know whether he should be counted as a senior brother or a disciple of a younger generation, and he can't ask for his life in this relationship.

It was also an accident to meet the same door here, but this relationship is actually the original Guanzhong man Ma Lan, and it has little to do with him. However, after all, he inherited this strong body, and although some relationships are not easy to inherit, some relationships still have to be recognized.

This guy believed that he killed Li Longji, so naturally he couldn't let Duan Junzi see him, so it was the best choice to leave it to the care of Anxi's secret agents. It will take at least half a year for such an injury to recover, and by then he should have completed the positioning of his relationship with Chang'an.

After solving such a small trouble, Ma Lan rode his horse on the grassland outside the city for a while, and then returned to the city.

Now that the prince's messenger has arrived, he still has to see him.

Of course, now the prince is actually the most virtuous son.

Now the city of Tingzhou has basically restored calm, a few days ago to track down the remnants of the Persian Temple, the people who should have been killed have been killed, and there is a lot of wealth seized, after no longer arresting people and killing people, the order in the market is slowly restored. There were many caravans entering and leaving the city every day, most of them were still doing business on the Jinshan Road, and most of the people who entered the city brought in the captured goods from the north of the Jinshan, and those who went out of the city were provided for the army of the Northern Expedition. Du Huaiguang and most of the Beiting Army are still on the grassland, and they still need the support of businessmen.

Of course, there are also caravans that take the Baishui Stream Road, transporting supplies between Anxi and Tingzhou. However, because the war is over. So the need for supplies is much less. So there were a lot fewer caravans along this route.

The lieutenant who came to deliver Li Heng's edict was also an acquaintance, and it was Li Zhuang who had come to Anxi. When Ma Lan walked into the hall where Li Longji's body was temporarily parked, Li Zhuang was kneeling in front of the coffin and crying.

It was too hot, and although there were a lot of ice cubes around the coffin, there was still some smell. The death of a king is no different from the death of a common man, and both will return to dust.

It might be better to put some ice cubes in the coffin, but Duan Junzi resolutely refused. said that it was too blasphemous, so Ma Lan didn't insist anymore.

Li Zhuang came to Anxi to preach the message before, and on the whole, the impression was still good. Ma Lan went over and asked Li Zhuang to get up, but Li Zhuang didn't insist, it seemed that he couldn't stand the smell, and walked out with Ma Lan.

After a few words of greeting, expressing shock and sadness at His Majesty's death, Li Zhuang pulled Ma Lu aside, lowered his voice and asked, "General, if you die today." The crown prince is about to ascend the throne, I don't know what the general plans in his heart? ”

"What are you going to do?" Ma Ling frowned.

"General. Why pretend to be confused! The new monarch's accession to the throne will inevitably weaken the authority of the general, and the meaning of this edict I brought this time will not be unknown to the general, and when the crown prince becomes the son of heaven, there will inevitably be a will here. Didn't the general have the slightest plan for the future? Li Zhuang's voice was extremely low, staring at Ma Lu.

"In the future...... It's just doing his duty, what can he do? Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the time on the main side of the west side of the moraine has never been too long, it has always been like this, and I have been in this position for several years. Ma Lan said solemnly.

"Is that really what the general thinks?" Li Zhuang said in a low voice, "If this is the case, I'm afraid that a catastrophe will happen soon!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ma Lan asked with a frown.

Li Zhuang looked around and pulled Ma Ling into the corner again: "General, after His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will inevitably weaken the power of the general, and then the general will be nothing more than two choices, willing or unwilling." If the general hands over the military power, he will immediately be a fish on the chopping board, and he may be a rich man in a year and a half, but every time His Majesty thinks of the general, he will be like a thorn in the flesh, and the general, when the time comes, he will not even be a rich man. And if he refuses, with the general's current power, he can make a big fuss. ”

Seeing that Ma Lu didn't interrupt her, Li Zhuang lowered his voice and continued: "For the general's net worth, there are three strategies for the general, which can be chosen by the general. ”

Ma Lan saw that this eunuch was serious, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, what else did he do, did he do three strategies, is this here to comment on the book.

However, he didn't laugh seriously, but whispered, "I want to hear about it." ”

Li Zhuang said: "This strategy is to abandon the land in the west and lead the troops to cross the green mountain and march westward, with the ability of the general, he will definitely be able to create a big territory." When the time comes, you can either fight with the Tang Dynasty, be a brotherly state, or negotiate with the Son of Heaven, as a vassal. ”

"What about the middle policy?"

"The middle strategy is to refuse to obey orders, not to go to Chang'an on the grounds that the people are blocked, and not to hand over the military power, relying on the danger of quicksand to consolidate itself. When the time comes, the new monarch will be angry, but the general can't. The general has both green mountains and things, and the land of Tubo can be held in his hands, nominally the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact he is a family of his own. ”

"As for the best policy, it is naturally to send troops to Chang'an and compete for the world!"

Li Zhuang's eyes shone slightly: "The advantage of the Son of Heaven lies in the attachment of the people, and the advantage of the general lies in the soldiers in his hands!" Now that the general has destroyed three kingdoms, what does it matter if he destroys another country! In my humble opinion, when no one can resist the general's soldiers, the battle of the two capitals can be decided! If you want to sweep the world, I'm afraid it will take some time, but ten years is enough. The bitter cold land in the west is not as good as the Central Plains Flower World, Your Majesty has great kindness to the general, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no kindness to the general! That being the case, what's the matter if you take the world! ”

Ma Lan looked at this excited eunuch, obviously this guy was ready for these words on the way. No wonder this guy came to Tingzhou as a messenger, originally according to his status in the palace, he didn't have to travel so far to deliver the decree. He came to Anxi this time, obviously wanting to fight for himself and get rich.

"Angel, you are so instigating a certain family to rebel, aren't you afraid that a certain family will escort you to Chang'an? Do you know how many lives will be lost in the flames of war! More than 100 years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and finally there is today's atmosphere, do you want me to break this prosperous situation and let tens of millions of people's heads fall to the ground? Ma Lan looked at Li Zhuang and asked in a low voice.

Li Zhuang looked directly at Ma Lan, and his voice was slightly excited: "It's not that the general must rebel in the lower ranks, isn't there still a middle and lower strategy!" Since I dare to say it, I am ready to bear all the consequences, if the general escorts him to Chang'an, I can only blame me Li Zhuang for seeing the wrong person. As for the misery of life, hehe, the general has killed more than a million people since he became famous, how can he have the kindness of a woman now and not understand the truth of not breaking and not standing? ”

"If you don't break it, you can't stand it?" Ma Ling frowned slightly.

Li Zhuang nodded and said, "If it seems to be prosperous today, it is actually just a mirror." The foundation of the founding of our Tang Dynasty is the military system of the government and the military system, and the second is the Juntian system, both of which have now collapsed. There are no soldiers to train in Zhichong Prefecture everywhere, the border army is relying on the Long March athletes, and the soldiers of the Southern Yafu exist in name only; The northern provinces are narrow and densely populated, and there is no way to give the people a permanent job, and the people are relocated to the land, all of which are dependent on the powerful and the powerful to work for the people and work hard to survive. Money and grain are all dependent on the southern provinces, and the canal is the lifeblood of life and death, and it is good to say that if the south suffers a famine and the money and grain cannot be collected, people will starve to death in Gyeonggi Pass immediately. Or if something goes wrong with the transport, it will immediately cause chaos. General, it seems to be prosperous at the moment, but in fact it is in danger! ”

Ma Lan looked at this guy and was also a little surprised. A lieutenant can say these words, and he can't help but glance up at this guy.

Today's Datang, the situation may not be as serious as Li Zhuang said, in fact, it is not much worse. Over the past 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the world has been generally peaceful, but the problems have indeed accumulated to a very serious extent. In particular, the land annexation of the northern provinces has reached an extremely serious level, most of the yeoman farmers have disappeared, and the peasants basically live on the powerful farms. And the Gyeonggi Pass is particularly serious, coupled with the dense population, and the relocation of the land, it is really nothing on weekdays, in case of a natural or man-made disaster, or the luck is not continued, or the money and food in the south are insufficient, immediately there is a little dry firewood everywhere.

And without the yeoman peasants, without the system of the government granting the people a permanent job, there would naturally be no government soldiers. And the government soldiers are the foundation of the Tang Empire, without the Nanya soldiers, now the Tang Dynasty is real outside and empty, and the border army is naturally more than enough to defend the four realms, but if there is internal turmoil, there is no government soldier can not be extinguished in time, and once it cannot be extinguished in time, it will become more and more intense.

Of course, these problems are not impossible to solve, but Li Zhuang said that the prosperous world is in danger, but he is not wrong. In particular, the land of Gyeonggi in Guanzhong, although it is the first good district, also hides the biggest crisis.

"The general will take the world, although it will be tens of millions of heads, but in the long run, it is a good deed!" Li Zhuang continued, "With the ability of a general, he will definitely be able to conquer the world within ten years, and then he can easily rectify it, and it will be a brilliant atmosphere immediately." And if the general doesn't do it, the world will be in chaos in the future, and I don't know how miserable it will be at that time! ”

Those who come to be lobbyists really have the ability to exaggerate. What Li Zhuang said is not completely unreasonable, but listening to the meaning of this guy, it seems that now Datang is about to have a big mess in the world, and he needs to turn things upside down. In his mouth, rebellion is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing.

But Ma Lan knows very well that this guy is a man who uses his mouth to get rich after all.

"Now Chang'an is weak, but the west is like the morning sun, the general has been on the west side of the city in recent years, and the changes brought to the west are also in the eyes. In the next place, I don't want to be famous and rich, but in fact, it is for the sake of the people of the world! ”

"The general has taken the world, and there will be no constraints in his actions, and what the general can bring to the west can also be brought to the entire Tang Dynasty! At that time, no matter what it is called, my Han family will definitely be stronger and more prosperous! Li Zhuang seemed to be very excited, and although his voice was still very low, it became a little sharp.

This is a bit too much, Ma Ling said in his heart. (To be continued......)
