When the topic fell on Liu Laozhi's personal career, Liu Laozhi's mood was not so calm.
His thick eyebrows were furrowed, and the unhappiness in his heart was clearly expressed.
Sun En immediately decided to continue his efforts.
Walk forward and continue to deal with Liu Laozhi face to face.
Why could Sun En's words shake Liu Laozhi's mind?
It is not because he is very eloquent, nor is it because he is familiar with court politics and has a great strategic vision, it is simply because as a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, he is well versed in the social structure of the Jin Dynasty.
Sun En's words played into Liu Laozhi's hands.
As a military general, he has no future under the current situation of the Jin Dynasty!
The children of aristocratic families look down on military generals, but they still want to occupy important positions in the army. The reason for overpowering military generals is not just to suppress them, but also because they cannot hand over the power of the generals to the generals who came from the common people Han clan.
From this point of view, the existence of the Huan clan in Qiao County is still very necessary. This is why, for so many years, although the imperial court hated the Huan clan for controlling Jingzhou's military affairs, it still tolerated them.
After all, there are very few families like the Huan family who come from a distinguished family but are willing to serve in the military.
With the Huan clan guarding it, at least the court did not have to worry about the defense of the middle reaches of the river.
And generals from poor families, even if they are extremely capable, are rarely able to stand alone. Just like Liu Laozhi, according to his own assumptions and with his military exploits, he could have gone one step further!
"Even if I want to go further, I will rely on my own strength to win more battles without the help of a heavenly master!"
Liu Laozhi got up in anger. The angrier he became, the greater Sun En's confidence became.
Saying this from his mouth actually proves that Liu Laozhi also knew in his heart that in the Jin Dynasty, with his background and military exploits alone, it was impossible to command an army by himself.
"We have all seen the general's loyalty to the court, but His Majesty may not be able to see it. Furthermore, even if the court reuses the general, where is the general's way out?"
"The foundation of the general is in Beifu. Over the years, the soldiers of Beifu have been brave and good at fighting. It is all the credit of the general. How can the general give up this army to others?"
"If you move to another place, the general's foundation will be broken!"
"But, in Beifu, it is almost impossible for the general to go further!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Laozhi immediately panicked.
"how do I say this?"
In Beifu, his path to promotion was indeed very difficult, but Liu Laozhi never thought about whether he would be promoted again.
Over the years, Xie Xuan has treated him well and promoted him from an ordinary team leader very quickly.
At his age, sitting on the throne of General Ying Yang is already very satisfying.
However, this happened two years ago. In the past two years, as Liu Laozhi gained more and more military exploits and his prestige became stronger, he was no longer satisfied with just being General Yingyang.
In addition, Xie Xuan also revealed some thoughts to him from time to time and always encouraged him to follow him and work well.
This made Liu Laozhi couldn't help but have some kind of expectation. This kind of expectation should not belong to him in the first place and should not arise!
However, human desire is a weed that is difficult to eradicate. Even though we know we shouldn't, it still gets stronger and stronger.
He Liu Laozhi can also go one step further!
There is great hope!
Who would have thought that now Sun En is saying with certainty that he has no hope? Isn't this just pouring cold water on him!
"The general actually knows it in his heart, but he just doesn't dare to admit it."
"Then Wang Zhiyuan has been promoted again and is already General Huben. His official rank is almost the same as that of a general."
"He is General Xie's son-in-law. In two years, he will definitely succeed General Xie. Judging from how much the imperial court values him, this is probably what he means."
"When the time comes, will there still be room for General Liu in the big tent of Beifu?"
Liu Laozhi's heart trembled and he immediately fell to the ground.
That boy Wang Zhiyuan was promoted again!
Although he was not convinced, it seemed to be the right thing to do. Wang Zhiyuan had chewed off the hard bones of Nanyang City.
No matter what method Wang Zhiyuan used, whether it was noble or despicable, as long as he captured the city, it would be regarded as a meritorious achievement.
If Wang Mi was in another army, Liu Laozhi might still admire him and praise him as a rare and fierce general.
It's a pity that he is in Beifu!
"snort!"
"Wang Zhiyuan, since he has taken refuge with Duke Xie and is staying in Beifu, why does he want to get involved with Huan Chong again?"
This is what Liu Laozhi is most dissatisfied with. These children from aristocratic families are too arrogant!
The so-called rules of the court had no effect on them. Although Wang Zhiyuan received the title of general, his actions were not restricted within the framework of Beifu. As long as he had needs, there would be no one to support him.
Just appear anywhere.
If Wang Zhiyuan hadn't jumped around hard and took the initiative to go to Xinye to help the battle, he would not have joined forces with the Jingzhou soldiers, let alone have the opportunity to approach Nanyang.
In the final analysis, this is the fault of the imperial court for not reusing poor generals like them!
A general like Liu Laozhi could only obey the orders of the imperial court. He would go wherever the imperial court asked him to assist in the war, and he could never take the initiative to ask for help.
This is how opportunities are lost!
The more Liu Laozhi thought about it, the more he hated it, and his fists as big as steamed buns clenched tighter and tighter.
"But even if you convince me, what's the use?"
"The aristocratic family is deeply rooted and has widespread power. We cannot easily shake it. In my opinion, although Wang Zhiyuan relies on his cleverness to fight, he does have some ability. He is now in Jiankang. Once you
If there is any abnormality, he will never let you go."
"Even if I agree to cooperate with you, the situation in Jiankang City must be maintained by yourself. Can you do it?"
Although Liu Laozhi used a hypothetical tone, it was obvious that he had already put his mind on it.
Sun En patted his chest and said loudly: "General Liu, don't worry, we will never pull the general into action before the situation is settled."
"I came here today on my uncle's order to talk to the general in advance. I hope that when trouble breaks out soon, the general can help Tianshi Dao."
Although Sun En did not say that he would cooperate now, his speech was still very dangerous. Once the court discovered that Liu Laozhi had colluded with Tianshi Dao, or even conspired to cause chaos, Tianshi Dao would not be unlucky, but would be the first to be unlucky.
It must be Liu Laozhi!
Lao Zhi was confused and didn't know what to do.
Sun En said at the right time: "General, when I stand here today and say these words to you, I am not blindly trying to win you over to support Tianshi Dao. It is also for your sake."
"According to the information we got in Jiankang, General Xie will probably have to rest for a while when he returns to Jiankang this time and will not return to Beifu immediately."
"The Xie family has already intended to recommend Wang Zhiyuan to come to Jingkou to temporarily serve as Xuan Xuan. Whether it is a temporary replacement or whether the military power will be gradually transferred to Wang Zhiyuan in the future, we cannot guess."
"However, once Wang Zhiyuan comes to Jingkou, he will step directly on the general's head. By then, the general's life will probably be difficult!"
Alarmist!
But it works!
Sun En opened his big mouth and blew the truth about something that was clearly baseless and without even a trace. Although his words were clumsy, Liu Laozhi believed him.
"That's unreasonable!"
"I have worked so hard for the Xie family, and yet they still want to support that kid!"
"They didn't take me to heart at all!"
You see, Liu Laozhi was thinking in the right direction without any further guidance from Sun En.
"Tell Heavenly Master, you go ahead and do it. As long as you can stabilize Jiankang's situation, I will definitely help you!"
Damn it!
I hate that kid the most!
You must not let him step on you!
…………
Sun En was very busy, and his shrewd uncle was not idle either.
Sima Yao and Sima Daozi fell apart. For Tianshi Dao, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a misfortune.
Fortunately, they can look for opportunities to cause trouble and no longer have to wait for opportunities. Unfortunately, perhaps their original plan was to use a less eye-catching method to promote the idiot Sima Daozi to take over and replace Sima Yao.
Wait a few years and then take the opportunity to get rid of Sima Daozi. This can not only achieve Tianshi Dao's purpose of controlling the affairs of the Jin Dynasty, but also preserve his strength and avoid the need for a major war.
In their plan, Sima Daozi is a necessary step. It is not that Sima Daozi is very important, but with Sima Daozi, Tianshi Dao's great cause of seizing power will be much easier.
There are many disciples of Tianshi Taoism, and it is true that they can respond to a hundred calls. However, the disadvantages are also very obvious. Although these people are obedient, their combat effectiveness is too weak and they cannot compete with the regular army of the Jin Dynasty for a long time.
It was precisely because of his clear understanding of the strength of his disciples that Sun Tai, who had been strategizing for many years, rushed to Jiankang and intervened in the court battle.
Sima Daozi is an authentic idiot who is ambitious but has no talent. It is definitely not easy to find such a idiot who is in a high position and is easy to control.
Because of this, Sun Taicai was reluctant to give up Sima Daozi. The Great Heavenly Master could not engage in loss-making business. He supported the person in power. This position was definitely not stable.
It is just a transitional nature. In the end, of course, this position still belongs to Sun Tianshi.
Sun Tai must make full use of the short period of Daozi's reign to eliminate dissidents and eradicate the roots of the family's children!
It seems that he is a man who is causing chaos in the country, but Sun Tai's vision is definitely not that short-sighted. He does not do this just for his own selfish interests.
He is doing it for the entire small and medium-sized aristocratic families, and for the poor children of the Jin Dynasty!
By using Sima Daozi's imperial power, he aimed to get rid of the disobedient powerful officials and eradicate all the capable children in the family.
Sun Tai knew very well that once he started to support Sima Daozi to rise to power, and even control Daozi's behavior from behind, those in the court would not sit still and wait for death.
It would be great!
He was just waiting for them to take action!
Whether it was a fight in the court or a local war, he had enough time to resolve it.
In addition to Sima Daozi, fierce generals like Liu Laozhi are of course also indispensable.
Perhaps even Liu Laozhi still doesn't understand how important he is to Sun Tai. After all, he still doesn't know Sun Tai's true purpose.
He only knew that Sun Tai wanted to seize the world and had this intention, but no one told him when to implement it or what specific plan he had.
Sun Tai wanted to seize power. In the court, he needed an obedient, practical and brainless monarch. Sima Daozi already had this candidate.
The next step is to recruit generals who are good at fighting. Although the sons of aristocratic families are useless, they still have great appeal in the Jin Dynasty.
Once Sima Daozi disrupted the government affairs and harmed the family, these disciples would definitely set off a wave of rebellion in the local area.
At this time, we need generals who can put down the rebellions of all parties, and Liu Laozhi is the person Sun Tai is optimistic about.
He has outstanding abilities and is an official in Beifu. His position is particularly advantageous. As long as he is brought over, there is no need to worry about being unable to control the situation.
Sun Tai sat with his sleeves folded. Under the bright moonlight, his calculations were getting louder and louder. That kind of beautiful emotion simply couldn't be driven away.
Rustling, rustling...
A faint sound, accompanied by a thin figure, broke into Sun Tai's mansion.
At night, the bustling city also returned to calm. After a while, a figure jumped down from the eaves and landed squarely in front of Sun Tai.
"Jiaoer, you are still so bold!"
Sun Tai showed his fondness for Pei Jiaoer, who was dressed in black and dressed like a female assassin. She looked murderous and seemed ready to take action at any time.
"It's really depressing to stay in the palace. If I don't go out for a walk, I will go crazy."
Of course, Pei Jiaoer did not visit suddenly. Sun Tai had already sent news to the palace and hoped to meet. However, the time could not be determined.
Sun Tai has always been at leisure and can be with him at any time, but Pei Jiaoer does not have such a good fortune. There are too many restrictions in the palace and too many spies. It would be a stroke of luck to get out.
"If Yuan Bao hadn't left the palace privately today, I probably wouldn't have had the chance."
Now that Pei Jiao'er has arrived, it's time to go into the room to talk. Sun Tai's brows jumped and he asked alertly: "Yuanbao?"
"Is that the eunuch beside Sima Yao?"
Pei Jiaoer nodded. She didn't have much dislike for Yuan Bao. Although she had entered the palace not long ago, she had never had any quarrel with Yuan Bao.
This proves that Yuan Bao is at least a person who doesn't like to cause trouble.
"In recent times, His Majesty has taken him with him wherever he goes. I remember that when I first entered the palace, the relationship between the two of them did not seem that close."
"However, the situation seems to have changed now."
Pei Jiaoer was bright-eyed and very vigilant. She noticed some minor problems, but she couldn't explain what was going on.
There seems to be nothing wrong with His Majesty the Emperor favoring the chief eunuch beside him.
"What does Yuanbao do when he leaves the palace?"
"Any clues?"
Yuanbao, the eunuch, is quite observant of his duties, and is not the kind of person who takes the treasures from Jiankang Palace to the palace every day to sell them for money.
In other words, without Sima Yao's permission, Yuan Bao would not leave the palace easily.
Pei Jiaoer thought for a moment and shook her head: "Maybe she went to deal with Yang Ding."
Yang Ding?
Isn't he the general who surrendered to Di Qin?
It seemed that he still wanted to kill him. Sun Tai had already had this idea. The Jin Dynasty was not rich to begin with, and Sima Yao was a stingy man.
He kept the money in his pocket tightly and refused to spend a single coin on others. This Yang Ding was just a defeated general and was of no use to the Jin Dynasty. Why should he feed himself with good food and drink?
he?
"I heard that Yang Ding provoked Sima Daozi, and His Majesty sent Yuan Bao out of the palace to vent his anger."
It turns out it’s because of Sima Daozi again!
This is a good thing!
Could it be that Sima Yao could still forgive Dao Zi?
It seems that blood is thicker than water, and Sun Tai feels that his transition plan has the possibility of being implemented again.
What are you waiting for?
Take advantage of the fact that the people in the court are not ready yet, so execute it immediately!
