"The only thing that can be done at the moment is to exterminate Dong Jingzhen, since things have come to this point, then simply go wrong, Dong Qi has done a lot of bad things in Jiangling over the years, although Dong Jingzhen has prestige in the army, but this prestige is unacceptable." Cen Wenwen said in a low voice: "There is also the immediate dispatch of the army to the west, Li Xin's troops and horses will be mobilized for at least more than a month, Zhang Xiu, Lei Shimeng, these people are intrigued on weekdays, and now that everyone has destroyed Dong Jingzhen together, these people will definitely be willing." ”

"Yes, the disciple will go to see his father." Xiao Yuexian sighed in her heart after hearing this, before the enemy was killed, she was going to make a mess first, which was not a good sign, but there was no way, what Xiao Mo could do now was to gather an army and resist Li Xin.

"Hey!"

Cen Wenwen looked at the back of Xiao Yuexian's departure, and sighed deeply, if he could, he would not make such a suggestion, before the war, the most important thing for Daliang to do was to unite, but unfortunately, Cen Wenwen knew Dong Jingzhen's character, once such a person doubted, he would always be suspicious, no matter what Xiao Mo did, Dong Jingzhen would not believe it, since this was the case, gather the forces of the kings, and wipe out Dong Jingzhen in one fell swoop, eliminating the first internal enemy.

Of course, after this battle, the internal contradictions of Daliang will be completely exposed, the kings will be suspicious of each other, and the trust between the monarchs and ministers will come to naught. Even if Li Xin can be barely defeated this time, after the war, Daliang's strength will be weakened a lot, and the internal struggle for power and profit will be more serious. Guanzhong and Daliang are not on the same level after all. Li Xin is not a hero, and he sees the problem very thoroughly. It's just that letting Jin Yiwei assassinate Dong Qi can have such a big effect.

"The real way to survive is not war, but surrender, and surrender may save your life. It's a pity. That's not all I can say. Cen Wenwen shook his head slightly and said, "I hope that other forces can see the situation in front of them clearly, and everyone will deal with Li Xin together, and there may be hope." ”

On July 4 of the second year of Yining, Xiao Milling of the Great Liang Dynasty invited Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, to return to the Dynasty, Dong Jingzhen was suspicious and unwilling to return, and threatened that Xiao Milling was not virtuous. Xiao Mo was furious, and on July 6, he ordered the king of Qin, Lei Shimeng, and other kings to lead a large army to attack Changsha, but Changsha was conquered on the third day. Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, was killed by the rebels.

Xiao Mo took the opportunity to order the kings and the army to prepare for Li Xin's attack. However, although Xiao Mo killed Dong Jingzhen, the internal chaos of the Great Liang Dynasty was even more chaotic. Lei Shimeng and the others were uneasy in their hearts. For fear of becoming the next target of Xiao Miao's elimination, Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi who made a contribution to the elimination of Dong Jingzhen, thought that the credit was the greatest, and often spoke wildly, not taking Lei Shimeng and others to heart, Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Jin even threatened to marry Xiao Yuexian, and the government and the opposition were cloudy, even a wise man like Cen Wenwen was helpless when he encountered this situation.

All of this comes down to the fact that Xiao Mo has no majesty. Although he was born in the royal family of the previous dynasty, he later relied on the relationship of Empress Xiao. has been a county commander, and the only thing this person can praise is filial piety, his martial arts are not as good as Dong Jingzhen, Lei Shimeng and others, his use of soldiers is not as good as Zhang Xiu, and his literary wisdom is even worse than Cen Wenwen. He was able to become the leader of the rebel army back then, also because of his bloodline. In this era, if you don't have strong strength, what can you do even if you have a bloodline? It's just that Xiao Mo is narrow-minded and very suspicious, and his subordinates are even more disrespectful to this person, who will support the founding emperor who has no prestige. In fact, this is the most fundamental problem of the Liang Dynasty.

Of course, Cen Wenwen's wisdom was still top-notch in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and what could be seen could be seen by some people. Jinyang, at this time, has gathered many literati and writers in the Central Plains, either gathered in Li Jiancheng's mansion, or gathered in Li Shimin's mansion, not because of anything else, but because the Turkic envoy came, and the envoy of Jieli Khan came with no thinking power, in order to ally with Da Zhao, according to the way he left the alliance was very peculiar, and he actually wanted to imitate the mercenary system implemented by Li Xin in Liangzhou that year.

Originally, the mercenary system was very good, and it was acceptable in Da Zhao, the key is that the mercenaries who insisted on losing their thinking were different from the legends, not only did they have to pay a certain amount of money to hire, but more importantly, when attacking the city, the money they robbed had to be given to the Turks, which made people unhappy.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the ambition of the Turkic wolf son, after we have paid a lot of money, actually wants to rob the property and even the population in the enemy's territory, so what can be left to us? Land, or population? Wang Qi said loudly.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Turks have asked too much, and the minister thinks they should talk about it." Dugu Huaien also shook his head and objected. What he objected to was that the Turks demanded too much.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, if the Turks enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, it will be devastating to the world of our Central Plains, and the ministers also think that it is impossible." It was Cui Mingan who spoke, he finally took refuge in Da Zhao and assisted the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

"Otherwise, we won't have enough soldiers." Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "How can I not know about this, but my father and Pei Lin have already agreed with the Turks to send troops, and we have set aside half of the soldiers and horses to garrison Jinyang to resist Li Xin's attack from the south, and other soldiers and horses can also attack Hebei and Youzhou." We can use the Turkic soldiers and horses to help us seize the whole of Hebei and Youzhou, and we can only pay some money. ”

"Even if we get Hebei and Youzhou, it's just a broken Hebei and Youzhou, and even the common people have been killed by the Turks, Li Xin was able to form a soldier back then, not only because he had a lot of money, but more importantly, because of his military force, or his ability to lead the troops, so that those aliens did not dare to kill wantonly, Li Xin occupies an absolute strength, so it will be so, at present, the power of the Turks is far above us, His Royal Highness the Prince thinks, will they listen to us and kill less?" Wang Jue shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Not bad. With the Turks, in the end, it is the common people who are unlucky, or our Da Zhao, these Turks kill too many people, it will affect the reputation of our Da Zhao, colluding with foreigners, such a reputation, who will be on our side? How long can a dynasty that has lost the hearts and minds of the people last? Even if we subdue Hebei, seize Shandong, and even defeat Li Xin in the end, how can we rule the world if the people's hearts are not in our Dazhao. Li Jiancheng stood up and said, "Lone must not agree to this, no one can control the Turks." ”

"I wonder if King Qin will agree?" Wang Qi sighed. Everyone hesitated for a while, don't look at Li Shimin now that he has been demoted, he doesn't even have the military power in his hands, but everyone still calls Li Shimin the King of Qin, Li Shimin still has a high prestige in the army, and this prestige will not change because of the change of title and official position.

"King Qin, I shouldn't agree either." Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he said, "No one can guarantee that they can control these Turkic armies like Li Xin. Everyone was silent for a while, and they all looked to the west, that direction was the residence of Li Shimin of the Qin Palace, and they believed that at this time, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, must also be convening his staff to discuss this issue.

It is indeed as Li Jiancheng and others thought, Li Jiancheng is discussing here, and the same is true for Li Shimin, the Turks sent troops, Li Zhao paid the money, and everyone swept the Central Plains together, this kind of business is still quite cost-effective, of course, the political risk in this is very great, so that the Li family father and son dare not touch this matter easily, and the arrival of the stubborn thinking power has brought a hope to Li Zhao's court, and also brought a fruit full of evil. Li Jiancheng is gathering his staff, and so is Li Shimin.

"Your Highness, the Turks sent soldiers and horses, and we paid the money, and there were three key points, first, the Turks' asking price was too high, and our Da Zhao couldn't afford to pay so much money; Second, the Turks plundered and captured the city, not only for the money and the population, but more importantly, after we got Youzhou and Hebei, what was left for us? Third, the people of the Central Plains will rebel against us. Eldest Sun Wuji said very calmly.

"Another point, that is, we defeated Li Xin, does the King of Qin think those Turks will leave honestly?" Fang Xuanling said softly: "Don't be at that time, we have worked hard to seize the world, but the world has been taken away by the Turks, wouldn't it be a loss." ”

"Yes, this can't be done." Li Shimin looked at Liu Wenjing, who had changed, although the matter was brought by Liu Wenjing, Liu Wenjing himself didn't think that this matter could be done.

"The most critical issue is how to control these Turks." Liu Wenjing thought for a while and said, "Li Xin can master those alien soldiers, why can't we?" As long as the Turks are mastered, we have a great force, more troops. Mastering these Turkic talents is of the utmost importance. King Qin, can you? ”

Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a while, looking at Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing was right, these problems are only one point in the final analysis, if Li Shimin can completely master these Turks, he will be able to turn harm into advantage, use the sword of the Turks to kill everything in front of him, and even unify the world.

Li Shimin hesitated, he knew that this was a very critical issue, and if he mastered his own power, he would be able to go to the next level, and if he couldn't master it, Li Zhao would face an embattled situation. He thought for a while and said: "The Turks are asking too much, too high, according to them, after we captured Youzhou and Hebei, we were only left with devastation, so it is better not to have Youzhou and Hebei." Master Liu can talk to them and use appropriate methods to talk to them. Let's reduce more losses and reduce more risks. ”

"Okay, Weichen will talk about it." Liu Wenjing hurriedly said.

"And this matter must be led by King Qin, the others, hehe, I'm afraid they don't have this ability!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Exactly." Liu Wenjing also nodded. (To be continued......)
