Heroes create the current situation, and the current situation can also create heroes. In many cases, heroes and the current situation are complementary and indispensable. If heroes are water, then the current situation is the shape. Heroes alone cannot do it, and neither can the current situation alone.

, only when water and form interact together can they finally stir up huge waves that roar thousands of miles. Xu

Fang Xuanling and his uncle Fang Yanzao are heroes, but as the dust of the disputes between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty settled, their families have become losers and poor families; in this era that pays attention to family background and backstage, they

If they want to achieve great achievements, it is almost as difficult as reaching the sky. If the world is not in chaos, even if they follow the steps step by step and stagger forward in this life, they will not reach the heights they have in history.

As a time traveler, Yang Ji is a person who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people. Even Yang Guang, the emperor, has to be reduced to his wage earner in many cases, so at certain times and in certain places, he

He is the person who controls and creates the "general trend" and "current situation"

. And heroes such as Li Jing, Yang Shanhui, Wei Yunqi, Zhang Xutuo, Yin Shishi, Xue Ju, Xue Shixiong, Mai Tiezhang, Du Ruhui, Yuchi Gong, Li Daliang and so on are precisely because of the "general trend" and "general trend" of Yang Ji.

"The current situation", so they burst out with dazzling light.

Today's Yang Ji is a good interpretation of the sentence "Plant a sycamore tree, and a phoenix will live; if you bloom, butterflies will come." His identity as King Wei and Shangshu Ling, as well as his personal abilities and achievements,

It can attract famous ministers and generals from the "late Sui Dynasty" to come and invest.

In view of this, Yang Ji believes that his top priority is to let famous ministers and generals shine on the platform of the King Wei family, rather than deliberately collecting famous ministers and generals; if he cannot make these people realize their value,

Due to failure and ambition, no matter how many talents he collects, they will leave silently because they cannot wait for the opportunity.

Why did the wise men such as Guo Jia and Xun Yu leave Yuan Shao in history? Yuan Shao's inability to employ people is certainly one aspect, but the main reason is that Yuan Shao has too many talents, making it impossible for him to take care of everyone; in addition, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others are

"I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix." People with strong autonomy, how can they be willing to sit on the bench? How can they not leave?

It is precisely because of this understanding and the lessons learned from Yuan Shao that Yang Ji has been trying hard to downplay his own existence in the past two years, and repeatedly gave up opportunities to make meritorious deeds to his subordinates. And his efforts and dedication,

Everyone in the King Wei family saw it in their eyes, remembered it in their hearts, and felt grateful, which in turn made the big family of the King Wei family extremely united.

Yang Ji can't tell what will happen in the future; but now if the major political factions are graded in terms of unity, unity and loyalty, the King Wei faction headed by him will definitely be among the best, and the total score will definitely surpass the second place.

To a hundred and eighty thousand miles away.

"Xuanling's name and wisdom, I have heard Keming say it many times!" Facing Fang Xuanling who came to his door, Yang Ji smiled and said: "Keming not only said that Xuanling is smart and knowledgeable, and has the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles.

He is an extraordinary talent, and he is able to put his life and head on the line at critical moments. I firmly believe what Keming said!"

"It's a shame to praise me, but I don't deserve my humble position." When Fang Xuanling heard that her friend gave her such a high evaluation, she felt moved and ashamed at the same time.

Yang Ji knew his potential better than Fang Xuanling himself. He did not comment on Fang Xuanling's words. He smiled and said: "Keming said you have great talent. I believe this. In terms of his temper, if you

There is no way he would say such a thing without the ability."

Ignoring this topic, Yang Ji continued: "Since Xuan Ling and your uncle are willing to come, they must have some recognition of me and my style of doing things."

"Not bad!" Top wise men like Fang Xuanling and Fang Yanzao have extremely high autonomy. They will never follow others' opinions because of their friends. Friendship is just a reference at most.

Yang Ji said: "I have a heavy responsibility now, and it is precisely because I lack talents like you. However, although you have great talents, the way I do things is different from other places, and the policies and systems are also different, so newcomers generally

You have to study and understand for a period of time first, so that you can become better

You will be qualified for your position faster. Secondly, since you have no merit after all, I can’t promote you rashly, otherwise it will be unfair to others. That’s good. I will give your uncle and nephew a military position in the palace.

I'll let you know what I'm doing, and when you get used to it, I'll promote you, what do you think?"

Although the military rank of the royal family is not high, it is much more important than Fang Xuanling, the Xicheng county lieutenant, and among Yang Ji's forces, there are many people who are eager to get into this position, because it is so far away.

Recently, Yang Ji has been able to better demonstrate his talents to Yang Ji. Xu

Look at Li Daliang, Du Ruhui, Yang Shidao and others. They used to be members of the royal family's military, but now, they are either the head of a county, the leader of an army, or the head of a department. They are all very popular figures.

Moreover, the people who come from this place are not only outstanding in ability, but also Yang Ji's confidants, so Yang Ji has never been influenced or manipulated by anyone in Liangzhou.

Now that Fang's uncle and nephew were here, Yang Ji was not going to let them go, so he decided to include them in the palace's official system first, so that people would know that they were their own, and no matter where they served in the future, they would be

There is a label of "King Wei" that is difficult to get rid of. This is also one of Yang Ji's principles for employing people. If not, then he is likely to become a talent base for cultivating people for others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will never live up to Your Majesty's love with my humble position!" Fang Xuanling did not expect that Yang Ji would be directly promoted and appointed as soon as he came. She immediately changed her depression and became cheerful. However, while she was happy, she did not forget herself.

That Xicheng County Lieutenant

, bowed in embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty is about to go on an expedition. As a member of the military, I should go with the army. However, I am still a lieutenant of Xicheng County after all. If I leave my job without authorization, it would be bad. Can I let the humble officer go first?"

Resigned from this position?"

"No need to go to such trouble!" Yang Ji said with a smile: "I will write a letter to Niu Hong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, explain the situation to him, and then ask him to transfer you to my command."

Every official is listed on the official list. If he wants to resign, he usually submits his resignation to the county magistrate, prefect and other superior officials first, and then reports it to the official department. If someone leaves without authorization,

Or "hang the seal and leave", it will leave a dark history that is difficult to make up for and repair. If there is no help from noble people in this life, it will basically be destroyed.

Yang Ji is a person with great power and is also Niu Hong's boss. He can naturally skip the complicated procedures and target the staff directly, making everything simple and trouble-free.

Seeing that his worries were solved, Fang Xuanling breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Ji suddenly thought of something and said, "If you go to war, it won't affect your marriage, right?"

"The marriage in the humble position is scheduled for winter, which is still very early." After Fang Xuanling finished explaining, he hesitated for a while and asked: "Please forgive the presumption of the humble position, the king is going north this time, but there is a big battle?"

"That's right! What do Xuanling think of this battle?" Yang Ji has already issued combat mobilization orders to Jizhou and Youzhou. The two states are now preparing for the war with all their strength. Anyone with some common sense and experience,

Everyone knew that this was going to be a big fight, so Yang Ji didn't cover his ears or evade his words at this moment.

"In terms of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, our army has no advantage. However, Gao Yuan ignored the feuds of Baekje and Silla in the south and sent out all the troops. The domestic military strength was weaker than the sum of the two, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers left behind was also not as good.

The army marching north, coupled with the need to defend cities in various places, so the south of Goguryeo must be in a dilemma of empty troops." Fang Xuanling thought Yang Ji was going to test him.

He immediately entered the role of counselor and said: "According to what I know from my humble position, I, the Sui Dynasty, have a very good relationship with Baekje, and Baekje and Goguryeo are feuding. If the king can join forces with Baekje, or let him

Baekje has deployed troops on the border, and Gao Yuan is worried that his base will be lost and he will send troops back in a panic. If this is the case, his army will be panicked. The pressure on our army will also be greatly reduced."

Yang Ji nodded. Although this plan of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" is simple, if you don't understand the details of Goguryeo, the relationship between Sui Dynasty and Baekje, and the grievances between Goguryeo and Baekje Silla, you would not dare to use this plan lightly. See

Lai Fang Xuanling is also a thoughtful person and has been paying attention to the situation in Liaodong for a long time.

He thought for a while and told Fang Xuanling about the problems with this method: "Although Xuanling's method is good, Goguryeo has blocked the land passage. If I send envoys southward from the land, the envoys can only go around.

Going around and around, covering up, even if he finally arrived successfully

Baekje, it’s too late in terms of time. So if you want to use this method, you can only take the sea route, which saves time and effort. However, the sea is rough and dangerous, and we know nothing about the sea. If we rashly let the envoys take the sea route

, it is very likely that we will not be able to reach Baekje.”

The implication of Yang Ji's words is very obvious, that is, although the strategy is good, there is no road. How can we contact Baekje? How can we implement the strategy of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao"? Xu

Fang Xuanling also understood this truth, but he was already prepared in his heart. Otherwise, the strategy he proposed to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao would be disgusting empty words and nonsense. When he heard what Yang Ji said, he immediately smiled and said

: "The king doesn't know something, Lu

The family used to have trade relations with Baekje and Silla. In order to obtain some supplies, Goguryeo always allowed the Lu family's caravan to transit south. However, the arrival of the Yuan family caused the Lu family to lose the right to use the Western Liaoning Corridor, so the Lu family's merchants

The team will no longer be able to travel by land."

"The Lu family didn't want to give up the very profitable foreign trade, but they couldn't travel by land, so they had to build a wharf and sea-going ships at the mouth of Gushui (Hai River), and started maritime trade with Baekje. Today, it has been nearly a hundred years.

They have a long history. So they are very familiar with the situation at sea. I heard from Lu Shishu today that they have a ship that will sail eastward to Baekje the day after tomorrow. If the king needs it, he can send envoys to follow the fleet."

After a pause, Fang Xuanling added: "The people the Lu family trades with are the princes and nobles of Baekje. As soon as the ship docks, the envoys can quickly see the King of Baekje through the princes and nobles of the other party."

Yang Ji was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "Xuanling's plan is excellent. Tomorrow I will mention this matter to the head of the Lu family and Mr. Lu and ask them to take my envoys out. Even if Baekje does not attack Goguryeo, as long as they are willing to send troops to the border

, that also helped us.”

After saying that, he said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling has done a great job since he first came here. I will remember it for you first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling did not refuse, and thanked him calmly.

Yang Ji looked outside and found that it was getting dark. Logically speaking, Fang Xuanling had finished talking about the matter and should go back to report the good news to his uncle. However, Fang Xuanling didn't leave. He suddenly asked with some confusion

Said: "I am a very direct person, and I don't like to mince words when talking or doing things. If Xuan Ling has any other tips or ideas, you can speak out." Xu said.

"It's nothing important!" Fang Xuanling smiled awkwardly and said, "I've already heard about the king's literary talent and excellent calligraphy, so he wanted to learn it."

Hearing this, Yang Ji raised his eyebrows, not believing his nonsense at all. After all, Fang Xuanling had just arrived, and their relationship was not even acquaintances. In addition, it was already dark, and Fang Xuanling came from a scholarly family.

How could he say such things and do such "stupid" things? So this excuse was really poor. And looking at his posture, he seemed to be here to take refuge.

Yang Ji didn't point it out, let alone ask about other people's private matters, so he poured a cup of tea for Fang Xuanling with his own hands. Just when he was about to speak, he heard an angry voice coming from outside the door: "Fang Xuanling

You bastard, don’t think that because you are hiding here with King Wei, I won’t dare do anything to you; be smart and get out of here now, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude and not giving you face.”

"What?" Fang Xuanling's expression changed when he heard this, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Yang Ji was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Xuanling with an incredulous look, and asked in shock: "Xuanling, could that woman outside be your fiancée?"

"It's her who made the king laugh!" Fang Xuanling felt his face was burning at this time. He nodded and explained nonchalantly: "She is the fiancée who holds a low position. She is actually a good person, but she has been a bit unruly since she was a child.

capricious."

Yang Ji knew more about the toughness of the Lu family than Fang Xuanling himself, but what he never expected was that the Lu family was so tough before he even got married; and listening to Fang Xuanling, he would have already

Now you know what kind of temper Lu has. Xu

Thinking of this, Yang Ji suddenly sympathized and said curiously: "Since you knew that she has been difficult and willful since she was a child, why are you still engaged to her?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yang Ji knew that he had asked something stupid and nonsense. Because Fang Xuanling couldn't make the decision at all in this kind of thing. However, what he didn't expect was that Fang Xuanling turned red and said honestly.

: "To be unruly is to be unruly, and to be willful is to be willful. But what Bei Zhi likes most is her unruly and willful nature, and he especially likes to make her angry. If she wasn't so unruly and willful, Bei Zhi wouldn't like her anymore!"

Yang Ji was dumbfounded after hearing this. It is true that strange people must do strange things. He has gained a lot of experience. After being silent for a while, he shook his head and said: "Then you'd better go out, don't let her come to kill you."

"Here!"
