Chao Gongcuo's political sensitivity is very low, and he is very puzzled by the reactions of several people, and asks very curiously: "Is there a difference between Wang Shichong and whether he is called emperor or not?" I think everyone is the king now, no different from the emperor, why do you all think that Wang Shichong's decision is very stupid? ”

Song Que turned his head to look at Chao Gongcuo, and said in his heart, no wonder you can't even control the Nanhai faction, what an idiot. However, although he looked down on Chao Gongcuo a little, Song Que still explained to Chao Gongcuo with the mind of a qualified ally: "Calling the emperor depends on the timing, if Wang Shichong occupies half of the country at this time, then it will naturally be able to boost the morale of the army and the people, and attract heroes from all walks of life to defect, and even some small forces will surrender directly in exchange for the glory and wealth of the second half of their lives, for example, some time ago, Li Yuan's threat to be the emperor will have an effect, and Bashu wants to take refuge in Li Valve." ”

"And now?" Chao Gong asked wrongly.

"Everybody's shouting!" Song Que couldn't help laughing, and Shi Shiran replied: "Now that Wang Shichong is called emperor, it will cause strong disgust from Kou Zhong, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and others. Dou Jiande called himself the King of Xia, and Du Fuwei called himself the King of Chu...... The king is a head lower than the emperor, how can these people be willing, and if Dou Jiande and the others don't react as soon as possible, it is easy to give their subordinates the illusion that the lord has no ambition and deviates from morality, so ......"

"So...... Why don't Dou Jiande and others also call themselves emperors? Chao Gong asked with a twisted eyebrow.

Song Que looked at Chao Gongcuo with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "Chao Lao'er, can the emperor survive if he surrenders?" ”

Can the Emperor surrender? This is a problem, there are many former emperors who have been killed throughout the ages, and the most famous is the one who "Xiaolou had an east wind last night, and the country is unbearable to look back at the bright moon." The poet emperor, followed by Han Lin'er and the like, there are countless people, this can't be blamed on Zhao Kuangyin's brothers and Zhu Yuanzhang and others for being ruthless, how can they rest assured if they don't kill Li Guguo and Han Lin'er. At the very least, we can completely cut off the ambition of restoration of the "remnants of the previous dynasty".

Don't say that it is the surrender of the emperor, that is, there are not many people who can get a good end by surrendering the prince, and there are the most obvious examples now, Li Mi and Du Fuwei.

Therefore, Wang Shichong's claim to be the emperor is equivalent to self-defeat.

Speaking of which, Song Que no longer explained to Chao Gong, the relationship between the two was bad, and Song Que was already very impatient to say so much: "Kou Zhong." What are you going to do now? ”

This is not only a question, but also Song Que's test of Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong took a breath and said slowly: "I have to wait, the Tiger Prison Pass is a Xiong Pass through the ages, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I plan to wait until Li Shimin withdraws his troops before accepting the Tiger Prison Pass." ”

Song Que asked: "If you attack Li Shimin directly, you may contain Li Shimin in the Tiger Prison." ”

Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "If I directly send troops to contain Li Shimin, I may put Li Shimin to death, but the gains outweigh the losses." I admit that Li Shimin is a military wizard, but I don't think Li Jiancheng will be inferior to Li Shimin. It costs a lot of experience to kill one tiger, it is better to let two tigers go back to fight. ”

Song Que paused, and then asked, "Aren't you afraid that the two tigers will join forces?" ”

Kou Zhong sneered: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, especially for those who are competing for the crown. ”

"What about Dou Jiande, how are you going to treat Dou Jiande?" Song Que asked with satisfaction.

Kou Zhong said: "Dou Jiande occupies Hebei, and I want the Central Plains." ”

"Then who does Luoyang belong to?" Song Que chuckled.

"To me!" Kou Zhong said categorically: "Whoever pays will reap, the lord of the valve, the sect master of Zhu and the brother-in-law will take the risk of assassinating Li Yuan. Luoyang naturally belongs to me, if Dou Jiande is not convinced...... Just talk with a knife and a gun. ”

"Good...... If you want to compete for the world, you must have fearless self-confidence. Song Que blocked the word "reckless" in Chao Gongcuo's mouth with one sentence. Chao Gong stroked his chest angrily, and said in his heart that the old man who played with his heart was really not as good as you...... These...... Fly camp dog Gou people, well, that's it, the old man is concentrating on martial arts, otherwise how can he let Mei Xun control the sect.

The mistake of Chao Gong here is from self-comfort. Song Que had already asked about the future situation, and Kou Zhong was obviously prepared, and quickly replied: "If it is not surprising, before returning to Guanzhong, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng will never have much conflict, after the two of them retreat to Hangu Pass. There should be a big war. If Li Jiancheng wins, the world's generals will have no hiding place for Li Shimin, if Li Shimin wins...... As long as Li Jiancheng does not die immediately, as long as he can escape back to his hometown Taiyuan, he should have a chance to make a comeback. ”

"You've got a good idea." Song Que was very satisfied, picked up the teacup and leaned back on the chair.

Zhu Yuyan was a little blushing, why didn't we have a talent like Kou Zhong in our Holy Gate? Lin Shihong is really good, but it also depends on who he compares with, Kou Zhong is a gangster, no car, no house, no watch, only a Li Zhong behind him to give a little guidance, but now it has developed to the point of holding tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and his potential is much stronger than Lin Shihong. Speaking of martial arts, although Kou Zhong's martial arts are not at the top level, he will not suffer too much if he does it with someone like Chao Gongcuo, at least he will fight, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the two boys, often defeat the strong with the weak, and Zhu Yuyan even thinks that Chao Gongcuo will lose.

In fact, often the weak defeat the strong that is strong, who wins is strong, there is no such thing as defeating the strong with the weak in the world, and there is no addition and subtraction in martial arts. Whoever said that the internal force 5 moves 6 spirit 7 must be more powerful than the internal force 1 move 2 spirit 8.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuyan finally came to a conclusion that a genius must spread his hands to become a talent.

Li Yu knew that Zhu Yuyan's thoughts would definitely laugh out loud on the spot, and the geniuses who died in the case of ninety-nine percent would become huskies.

…………

Just when Wang Shichong ascended the throne as emperor with great fanfare, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng began to withdraw their troops one after another, and the two brothers were both heroes among the people, knowing that they could not fight infighting at this time, so the two brothers immediately made a decision after a simple discussion, Li Shimin withdrew along the Yellow River, Li Jiancheng retreated along the official road, and the two brothers personally broke off and monitored each other to ensure that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were safely pulled into Hangu Pass.

Kou Zhong accepted the Tiger Prison Pass as he wished, and Dou Jiande also accepted Liyang and Hanoi and other places as he wished, and he could cross the river to attack Luoyang at any time.

Of course, Wang Shichong was unwilling, and sent someone to ask Kou Zhong and Dou Jiande what they wanted to do, whether they wanted to tear up the covenant. The covenant is not worth more than hand paper, Kou Zhong and Dou Jiande kept arguing with Wang Shichong, but they would never return the territory they had gotten, and the two of them were so angry that they almost vomited blood, Wang Shichong, you are a fool, why don't you pursue it while Li Valve retreats, is your Wang Shichong's territory a tourist attraction?

This is really not that Dou Jiande and Kou Zhong want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, if Wang Shichong sends troops to pursue Li Valve, Kou Zhong and Dou Jiande will also send light cavalry to chase and kill Li Valve. Li Yuan's death does not mean that Li Valve's strength is damaged, for the gate valve, the death of a person does not mean anything, Li Yuan is dead, Li Jiancheng is on top, what can damage Li Valve's strength is infighting, and it is Li Shimin's selfishness.

At this moment, Dou Jiande and Kou Zhong both wanted to burn incense and pray to bless Li Shimin with no illness and no disaster on the road.

As a result, Li Shimin was assassinated. (To be continued.) )
