Chapter Ninety-Four: Concerns
Xiqi, San Yisheng took the letter of invitation written by Ji Fa overnight, and hurried to Chaoge to meet the king. Xiqi had just suffered a defeat and his morale was low, and if Deng Jiujun led his army to attack, it would also be a big threat.
On this trip, San Yisheng shouldered an important royal life, just as he went to Chaoge to redeem King Wen, not only to do a good job up and down, but also to have the ability to speak like a river.
"Doctor, more than ten miles ahead, I arrived at Chaoge. ”
On this trip, Wei Hu was ordered by Jiang Ziya to protect San Yisheng all the way.
San Yisheng nodded, seeing that it was still early, he wanted to chat with Wei Hu for a few words, and the two of them patronized all the way and didn't even say a few words.
"General Wei, have you ever been to Chaoge. ”
Wei Hu said: "I have come, when I have never entered the teacher's door, I often wander around the world, and I have the honor to appreciate the prosperity of this dynasty song." ”
San Yisheng nodded, and suddenly asked, "So what do you think of Chaoge?"
Wei Hu thought for a while and said, "Chaoge is like a towering tree, its branches and leaves are luxuriant, but the foundation is rotten, and life is gradually disappearing, so it can't be for long. "Along the way, the people are not clothed, and most of them have vegetables, and the people of Xiqi are far away, and life must be extremely difficult.
San Yisheng's eyes flickered a few times, nodded, and asked again: "Then what do you think of Xiqi?"
"Xiqi is like a new tree, although there are few branches and leaves, but the rhizome is thick, deep into the ground, as long as it is given enough time, it will surely grow into a towering tree that is better than the song of the court, sheltering the world from the wind and rain. ”
San Yisheng said with a smile: "I didn't expect Prime Minister Jiang to have a talent like you, it's amazing!"
"Doctor Shang has an overreputation. ”
In terms of resourcefulness, Wei Hu is not under Yang Jian, but he is usually low-key, and he is like a transparent person in the barracks.
......
"My lord, there is a guest who claims to be from Xiqi and wants to see you with a heavy gift. ”
Zhang Qian had just finished the official business at hand, and the housekeeper was reporting outside the door, he frowned, muttered slightly for a while, and said, "You take people to the side hall first, and I'll see you later." ”
Since he was promoted to prime minister, Zhang Qian has been very busy, but fortunately, his ability is not weak, and with the help of Weizi, he finally succeeded in the work of the prime minister, and the gossip of the court gradually decreased.
"In Xiaxiqi, the doctor San Yisheng saw Prime Minister Zhang Cheng. ”
San Yisheng obviously went through the wind and waves, and faced Zhang Qian, even though his king was a chaotic minister and thief in the mouth of the court, his face was extremely calm. He was entrusted by Ji Fa to come, and his words and deeds represent Xiqi, even if the knife and axe are on his neck, he will not frown.
Although he is a civil servant, he has the same blood as a military general.
Zhang Qian frowned and said, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"
Xiqi has always had a bad impression of Zhang Qian, if it weren't for Xiqi's trouble, the imperial court would not have sent people to ask for it one after another, consuming countless grains, and a good country, now the smoke is everywhere.
San Yisheng said: "I came to see the prime minister, naturally I wanted the prime minister to take me to the palace and help me say a few kind words in front of His Majesty." ”
If you go directly to see the king of Zhou, it is very likely to anger him and bring trouble to yourself, so as soon as he came to Chaoge, San Yisheng went to ask to see Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian is now the prime minister, under one person, above ten thousand people, he has won the trust of the king, he said ten sentences to himself, if he succeeds in moving him, he will take nine out of ten things to surrender.
Zhang Qian sneered: "Why should I help you!"
The imperial court is at war with Xiqi, and he Zhang Qian didn't let San Yisheng take it down on the spot, which is already a rare high-spirited festival, and he still wants to let himself speak for him, which is ridiculous. If you really think you are the second minister of Fei You, you can buy it with some money.
San Yisheng smiled: "Helping me is also helping you." With all due respect, the imperial court is in a difficult situation now, and it is already a stumbling force to deal with the princes of the three towns, and if you are not careful, you will be at risk of overturning at any time, and if you don't solve the root of the problem, the position of the prime minister is also precarious!"
Zhang Qian's heart sank, he was one of the few talents in the imperial court, so he naturally saw the crisis of Yin Shang, the other party was by no means alarmist, if it wasn't for Deng Jiugong's victory in Xiqi, no one dared to guarantee how far the situation would collapse.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I don't hide it, I came here with a letter of invitation from the king of my family!
"Please drop the book!"
Zhang Qian's expression moved, and he asked, "Are you saying that Ji Fa plans to make good relations with the imperial court and not invade each other." Seeing that San Yisheng nodded, he said coldly: "I'm afraid that you Xiqi will suffer another defeat and will not be able to compete with the imperial army, so I have this strategy, stabilize Your Majesty first, and then make plans in the future." ”
Back then, King Wen let King Wen go back, how good what King Wen said when he praised the officials, Xiqi will always be loyal to the king, abide by the way of the courtiers, and never invade the court, what is the result. Not many years after his death, Ji Fa reused Jiang Ziya, and Xiqisheng was monstrous, defeating several people in the court in a row, which made the entire court panic.
San Yisheng said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's words are wrong, with Xiqi's strength, even if he loses ten games, it will not hurt his vitality." It's just that the king of my family has mercy on the people and can't bear to let them suffer from separation, so he asked for a letter to surrender and reconcile with the court!"
Zhang Qian sneered: "It's high-sounding, but it still can't hide the fact that you Xiqi is weak!"
He didn't believe it, if he was good, Ji Fa would send someone to send a letter of surrender, and something would happen in Xiqi. It's just that he doesn't know what happened in Xiqi, otherwise he would have been speechless.
He is a good man, but he is not a vegetarian.
San Yisheng glanced at Zhang Qian with some surprise, this prime minister is really as shrewd and capable as the rumors, and it is strange that he can please the king. He sighed and said, "Since Prime Minister Zhang Cheng guessed it, there is no need to hide it, just a few days ago, Deng Jiugong defeated my Xiqi and annihilated 100,000 people." ”
When it comes to people like Zhang Qian, it is not enough to simply flicker, you must move him with affection and know how to reason, so that you can be sure to convince him.
"What, it's serious!"
Zhang Qian was taken aback, not long ago, Xiqi's battle report had just arrived, and the king of the war, Long Yan Dayue. Now he has won another big victory, this is simply an unexpected joy, he never expected that Deng Jiugong could fight so well, with only more than 100,000 horses, he won Xiqi in a row, this person used soldiers, as if he was above Wen Taishi.
San Yisheng smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for our defeat, I wouldn't have appeared here." ”
When Zhang Qian received the letter, he glanced at San Yisheng and said, "Master San, you are not afraid that I will make a statement to Your Majesty, send 100,000 troops to Xiqi to support Deng Jiugong, and take advantage of this opportunity to capture Xiqi in one fell swoop." ”
San Yisheng said solemnly: "There are still more than 200,000 elite divisions in Xiqi City, and there are handsome talents like Jiang Ziya, who are both offensive and defensive, and they are already as stable as Mount Tai, even if Deng Jiugong waves an army of 300,000 to attack, it will only lose troops and generals, and it will only cost money and food." What's more, Eshun and Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan are ambitious, and if the imperial court consumes all the main forces in Xiqi, it will only cheapen these two in vain. ”
San Yisheng's ability to analyze the general trend of the world, even Ji Fa has to praise three points, when he came, he repeatedly scrutinized it more than a dozen times in his heart, and he was confident about the reconciliation between the two sides, unless Zhang Qian disregarded the national strength and had to burn Xiqi jade, otherwise with his cleverness, he would definitely not suggest that the king of Xiqi should increase his troops on Xiqi at this juncture.
Zhang Qian was silent, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, but what San Yisheng said was the truth, if there was only one place in Xiqi to make a rebellion, the whole country would crusade, but the south should guard against Eshun, and the east should block Jiang Wenhuan, resulting in the dispersion of troops, and the imperial court would have a hard time dealing with Xiqi.
