Volume 7 Getaway Chapter 5 Nameless (5b)

The talks were very fruitful. At least that's what Li Jiancheng thinks. Long after returning to his temporary home, he still couldn't get a little sleepy.

Li Xu did not refuse the title of King of Boling County given to him by the new emperor Yang Yu, which shows that he still has a good impression of the Tang family. There was no expected mutual exclusion between the soldiers and horses of Hedong and the Boling army, and the officers and men of the Left Route Army also tacitly welcomed the issue of the two armies being under the unified command of Li Xu. These developments made Li Jiancheng feel comfortable, and he regarded the good appearance in front of him as the first step to bring Xuzi under his command. As for the upcoming fierce battle, Li Jiancheng didn't care very much about it. He didn't think that he and Li Xu would lose. In his eyes, Xuzi is a very capable general, but someone needs to take care of the back road. And the advantages of government affairs that he himself is good at can just make up for Xuzi's shortcomings in some aspects. What could be more ideal than the complementarity of kings and ministers? If this relationship of mutual dependence and mutual trust can be maintained for a long time, both the enemy outside the fortress and the opponent inside the border will inevitably be defeated and lose and beg for forgiveness on their knees.

"Zhong Jian is a little absent-minded tonight!" Seeing that Li Jiancheng was as happy as a child who had just eaten candy, the marching commander Shi Chen Yanshou couldn't help but wake up. When talking to Shizi, his eyes kept drifting out of the window. There must be something you don't want to pick on. That Cui Junshou and Zhao Sima also had a very cold attitude towards us, and they seemed to be very wary in and out of their words! ”

"Zhong Jian and we have just started to cooperate, and we will definitely pay attention to it. Think about how he has been stabbed in the back so many times over the years, how can he be honest with each other so soon! Li Jiancheng smiled, not paying attention to Chen Yanshou's reminder at all.

The current Xuzi is not the Xuzi of the year, the Xuzi of the year was a single, he could throw away everything, and he could put everything down. And now Xuzi has six counties and tens of thousands of troops, even if he wants to do something, he must also consider the feelings of the soldiers under his command. As someone who has had a similar experience, Li Jiancheng believes that he can fully understand Xuzi's plight. As for the coldness of generals such as Cui Qian and Zhao Ziming, he took it for granted. Everyone turned out to be the only one who looked forward to Li Xu, but suddenly the future fate was linked to the Li family in Hedong, and it was inevitable that they would be a little confused. After a period of time, this confusion will fade away, and they will feel the sincerity of the Li family, and they will also feel that he Li Jiancheng takes care of his subordinates.

"It's not just about guarding." Chen Yanshou was helpless about the mastermind's blind optimism, so he had to increase the wording a little, "It's a kind of hostility." It's as if we've done something we're sorry for or are doing something to Xuzi. Even if it is perfunctory, it is very reluctant! ”

"Really?" Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, "Uncle Chen is not too careful." It's normal for a man in the army to not pay much attention to etiquette! ”

"How could I find fault with other people's etiquette." Chen Yanshou was a little crying and laughing, "Besides, they have always respected me." It's the kind of respect that rejects people from thousands of miles away! ”

This is the difference between the prince and the second son. As long as the son of the world is good to others, he is good for each other. If you don't like people, you can't stand it anywhere. The second son is much calmer, knows how to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly, and does not get along with others with his inner likes and dislikes. If the other party can help him, even if he has been cold-eyed, he will do everything he can to get together, slowly ease the estrangement between each other, and even take the initiative to ignore the other party's moral shortcomings. And if that person is useless or threatened, the second son will keenly sense the danger, or avoid this person, or take the initiative to "solve" the problem.

Li Jiancheng heard the strange meaning in the tone of his henchman's words, smiled, and solemnly promised, "Take your time, take your time!" A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him! If there is any misunderstanding for a while, it doesn't matter, and there will be no knot in the world that cannot be untied. Besides, they all admire Zhong Jian, as long as Zhong Jian can't disagree, others won't make any waves! ”

"The problem is that Zhong Jian's popularity here is too high!" Chen Yanshou sighed in a low voice. "These days, both civilian and military, I have visited in detail. Zhong Jian's reputation is very good. Some people even carved his name and hung it at home, saying that it could ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings! ”

"Really?" Li Jiancheng finally frowned and asked in a low voice. "Zhong Jian has been in office for less than three years in total, and he still has most of the time to fight everywhere. What real benefit can he bring to the local community, other than a little settling? ’

"That's the benefit." I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world', has the son heard of it? Besides, the officials of the Great Sui Dynasty did not need to give tangible benefits to the people at all. As long as you don't deliberately spoil it, the common people will treat you as a living bodhisattva! “

"Uncle Chen is saying that Zhong Jian is better to the people than his father?" Li Jiancheng's last sentence was a little resistant, and he asked in a calm voice. With his experience in governance, the lives of the people under the jurisdiction of the Li family in Taiyuan are the most peaceful and prosperous. Officials were relatively incorruptible, had light forced labor, and paid few taxes. Otherwise, when the Li family raised the banner of rebellion, there would not be so many people following.

"Before we started the army, King Tang was indeed very good to the people under his rule!" Chen Yanshou shrugged and replied.

"Uncle Chen has something to say to be clear, it's just the two of us here, there's no need to detour!" Li Jiancheng raised his voice and commanded with a smile. The marching commander assigned to him by his father was experienced and scheming. But the biggest problem is that he likes to go around and around when he talks, and he never lets people go straight to his destination.

"Today, when Zhong Jian promised to guarantee our grain supply, Cui Qian frowned twice. The expression on our faces looks like we are liars who have come from afar to eat! Chen Yanshou thought about it and said that he was the first to discover today.

"More than 50,000 people are chewing and wrapping, and it is difficult to cope with it. The surname Cui is a civil official, of course he wants to save some money for Xuzi! Li Jiancheng comforted Chen Yanshou while keeping the name Cui Qian firmly in his heart.

"The prince said that the warrior was responsible for raising grain and grass and baggage, so that the soldiers and horses in Hedong were not short of food and clothing. Cui Qian, Zhao Ziming and Zhong Jian all seemed to be stunned! ”

"Shi Yu was born in a businessman, but his father entrusted him with an important position. This kind of eclectic attitude will naturally be surprising! Li Jiancheng thought about it and tried his best to pick his favorite aspect to answer.

"On the way we came, some of the costumes of the people in Tuntian were obvious in the style of the Taiyuan and Shouyang generations." Chen Yanshou knew that Li Jiancheng already had an idea in his heart, so he simply threw out the answer directly. Those people must have been in Hebei for less than a year, so they have not been completely assimilated by the locals. For the princes in times of war, population was a symbol of strength. Plundering the population of other heroes is tantamount to weakening the opponent's strength in disguise.

"It wasn't Zhong Jian who asked them to come!" Li Jiancheng sighed, and finally admitted that Chen Yanshou's statement was true, "I have also heard that Yuan Ji secretly hid a lot of wealth in the name of ensuring military supplies!" But it's been a few months since this happened, and even if it is found out, what can be done to him? The people should have fled, and they fled, so they couldn't persuade their father to cure Yuanji's sin in order to escape a few people, right?! ”

"Shizi is a kind brother. Tang Gong is also a loving father! Chen Yanshou sighed and commented. But this matter is not something that can be ignored casually, especially in Zhong Jian's eyes. In the past few years in Boling, he has offended all the wealthy families, and he has taken care of all the small people. Yuan Ji and local officials colluded to make a fortune, he must be very unaccustomed to it! ”

Not only Li Xu couldn't get used to it. It is estimated that none of the civil and military officials under his command are accustomed to it. If it weren't for the need to settle the displaced people who came all the way from Hedong, the Boling army would not have to rush to develop Zhuo County. If it weren't for the fact that so much financial and material resources had been invested in Zhuo County, perhaps it would have been much easier for Li Xu to make the decision to stay out of the battlefield. Chen Yanshou hopes that he can figure out these words. He is no longer needed to analyze. In addition, the officials under Li Xu's command are very different from the traditional Great Sui officials, and they get along with each other clearly. If Li Jiancheng tries to bring the two together, these are the first set of obstacles he will have to face. As for the superficial politeness and concessions related to the command of soldiers and horses during the day, they are inconsequential details.

To Chen Yanshou's great disappointment, Li Jiancheng could understand Li Xu's feelings and the coldness of Hebei officials, but he did not think that this would cause much trouble for further cooperation between them. After all, the conscious family fully took care of the interests of Asahiko himself, and expressed it to the main generals under his command. "Zhong Jian came from a humble background and refused to forget his roots, which is also one of his benefits!" He thought for a moment and said very seriously. That's why my father valued him so much. I've always been happy to associate with him! ”

"Alas!" Chen Yanshou sighed again, very helpless and very regretful. "Is the prince planning to take Zhong Jian back?" He asked knowingly, as if he had never speculated on the wishful thinking of the building.

"Of course!" Li Jiancheng replied without hesitation. "Before going north, my father once told me that no matter what conditions Zhong Jian proposed, he could consider it."

"What conditions is the prince going to give him?" Chen Yanshou continued to shake his head as he asked.

"Until now, Zhong Jian has only asked me to join forces with him in the fight against the Turkic invasion. In addition, no other conditions were mentioned. He's not an insatiable man. will not know the advance and retreat, Uncle Chen must not underestimate him. Li Jiancheng was so laughed that his heart was blocked, and he said angrily.

Chang'an is the capital of the Son of Heaven, and Chang'an has always been laid, which means that there is a blessing for the Son of Heaven. With the current strength and development speed of the Li family, I am afraid that within three to five years, the heroes will be leveled and the world will be restored to peace. Li Jiancheng doesn't believe that Xu Zi can't see these lofty prospects. Moreover, the six counties of Boling, which had been exhausted by years of war, could not provide support for an emperor. Since the partners have great prospects and their own families do not necessarily have the hope of winning the championship, why should Xuzi insist on drawing a clear line with the Li family?

When smart people come to this situation, they know how to choose. Even if you are a little unwilling in your heart, you will not risk losing your reputation with so many supporters for a goal that has no hope of success. In Jiancheng's eyes, although Xuzi may not be very smart, he is definitely not a gambler. That's why he has extremely strong confidence in subduing the other party. But Chen Yanshou's smile is so mysterious, so mysterious that it makes people's backs chill and their hearts hairy.

He hoped that Chen Yanshou would put away his smile and say a few really useful words to himself. He was the commander of the First Army and the heir of Li Yuan, the king of Tang. You don't need to be guided like a child. If anything is said directly, he will listen carefully to every useful advice.

Chen Yanshou was not inconsiderate of people's feelings, and continued to ask with a smile, "If Zhong Jian is willing to rejoin the Li family, how is the prince going to use it?" ”

"Nature is to treat it with sincerity. Back then, I said that a few times. Now, I'll do the same to him! What does Uncle Chen think? Li Jiancheng was annoyed, so he simply kicked the problem back.

When he first realized Li Xu's talent, his father did ask the three brothers about it. Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji all gave their own answers. Now, that opportunity is back in front of us. Li Jiancheng still believes that there is nothing wrong with his original opinion.

Between master and slave, it is important to be compatible and know each other. If he takes over his father's throne, he will definitely fully trust those virtuous people and stay away from those villains. treats a handsome man like Zhong Jian with ability and good conduct, he should treat Wang Meng like Fu Jian, listen to his words, and put his heart into his heart.

"What if he asks you to dispose of Yuan Ji and Shimin, or Changshi Shunde and Dou Yong?" Chen Yanshou's smile became more and more mysterious, and it made people feel more and more uneasy.

Li Jiancheng paused for a moment, and blurted out his rebuttal words, "How could he make such an unreasonable request?!" But in an instant, it became clear to him that such a thing was very likely. Yuanji likes horses, beautiful women and gold, Shimin does things unscrupulously, and the eldest grandson Shunde and uncle Dou Yong are both famous for their love of receiving gifts, and they will definitely be corrupt officials in the future. With Li Xu's character, he may not be able to get along with these people for a long time. The same palace is a minister, even if he doesn't trouble the other party, the other party will not let him go.

"Uncle Chen, then what do you say I should do with him?" Thinking of this, he finally lost his self-confidence, stretched to the ground, and solemnly asked the first wise man under his account for advice.

"If Zhong Jian is really willing to put himself under the tent of King Tang!" Chen Yanshou paused, as if he was very unsure about this, but he couldn't bear to destroy the hopes of others, and said hesitantly, "There is a method of employing people, which is called Jia Sheng's use." I wonder if Shizi has heard of it? ”
