Chen Leng was defeated that year, surrendered to Du Fuwei, and was put under house arrest by Du Fuwei. If Li Jing hadn't happened to go to Liyang on behalf of Wan He to win over Du Fuwei and plead for him, Chen Leng would have died long ago. At the hands of Du Fuwei. Because of this, Chen Leng also knew Du Fuwei's people very well, especially Fu Gongyou, who was Du Fuwei's deputy.
"Haha!" Hearing Chen Leng's question, Changsun Wuji chuckled, gently stroked the long beard left by his recent growth, and said with a smile: "General Chen doesn't know something! Although Nafu Gongyou and Du Fuwei has been a friend for many years, but he is also very ambitious! If not for Du Fuwei's strength, I am afraid that Fu Gongyou would have gone out on his own! This time Du Fuwei went south to attack Xiao Xian and handed over Liyang to his own The adopted son Kan Leng asked Fu Gongyou to serve as his deputy, which has long made Fu Gongyou dissatisfied! If we can use some force from it, we can't say..."
Changsun Wuji only said half of what he said and did not continue. However, everyone present knew what Changsun Wuji meant. It was nothing more than to sow discord between Fugongyou and Du Fuwei and make Fugongyou betray him. !
"Well!" Wan He frowned. It has been so many years since this era. Wan He has almost forgotten the history that he knew in later generations. So what happened to Du Fuwei in the end? Wan He can't remember either. , not to mention Fu Gongyou. However, Wan He was already very impressed by Chang Sun Wuji's resourcefulness. Since Chang Sun Wuji was so confident, Wan He naturally chose to believe him. Wan He nodded immediately. , said: "Then do as Wuji said! But, who should be sent to contact that Fu Gongyou?"
Of course, Wan He will not forget the key issues. Even if Fu Gongyou really has different intentions for Du Fuwei, he will have to send someone to lobby him! And in addition to being an eloquent lobbyist, You also have to be bold and careful. Not everyone can do this deep into the enemy's territory.
Hearing Wan He's question, Changsun Wuji just smiled faintly, tilted his eyes behind him, and said with a smile: "Isn't the most suitable candidate right in front of the prince? Is there anyone in Luoyang City who can compare with him? Mr. Wang Shujie?"
As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the eyes of almost everyone present were focused on a minister behind Changsun Wuji. This minister was Wang Gui, a famous scholar who had escaped from Chang'an with Wan He. Wang Shujie!
Being stared at by so many ministers at once, even though Wang Gui was not an ordinary person, he felt a little overwhelmed. However, Wang Gui was also very grateful to Changsun Wuji for recommending him to take on such an important task. After all, since he arrived in Luoyang, he has There was no chance for Wan He to make any great achievements anymore, but Wan He gave him a high-ranking official and a generous salary, which made Wang Gui feel that he deserved it. Now that there was an opportunity to prove his strength, Wang Gui would not let it go. , immediately stepped out of the queue, bowed his hands to Wan He, and shouted: "I am willing to serve the prince!"
"Oh?" Seeing Wang Gui coming out, Wan He also remembered that when he was in Tongguan that day, it was Wang Gui who went to Tongguan and persuaded Qu Tutong to surrender. It can be seen that Wang Gui's ability is indeed not small. Wan He immediately narrowed his eyes. He closed his eyes, glanced at Changsun Wuji, then at Wang Gui, and finally nodded with a smile and said: "Of course I know Lord Wang's abilities! Such an important task is indeed not something that Lord Wang is not qualified for!" "
When Wan He said this, the matter was basically settled. Of course, it was impossible to send Wang Gui to Liyang so rashly. In that case, it would be better to just lift Wang Gui to the top of the city and throw him to death.
More efficient. Regarding Wang Gui's trip to Liyang, there are still many related matters to be dealt with. There is no need for Wan He to take care of these matters. Naturally, there are people who can handle them properly.
After handling such a matter, Wan He's previous sleepiness was relieved a lot, and he felt a little more energetic. After rubbing his nose, Wan He sat upright, glanced at everyone, and said: "Hua
How is the war on the other side of Yin?"
The war mentioned by Wan He was actually Li Jing's march to the west to conquer the Tang Dynasty. At first, Li Shimin joined forces with the three border kings and Luo Yi to besiege Luoyang, but Wan He's plan to flood the seven armies with water was defeated first at Jishui.
Luo Yi, Liang Shidu's coalition forces, and then relied on the relationship between Li Jing and Guo Zihe to trick Li Shimin in Hongnong. Li Shimin's army was defeated and returned to Huayin, and Li Jing pursued the victory and besieged Huayin for nearly a month.
It’s month!
"Reply to the prince!" Wan He asked, and the Minister of War who had previously sent the Yueyang battle report immediately came out, bowed to Wan He, and said: "General Li Jing has besieged Huayin City for more than a month, but so far,
There has not yet been a major war, and the Tang army has sufficient supplies of food and grass in Huayin City, so there is no sign of conquering Huayin City yet!"
"Hiss——!" As soon as the Minister of War said this, some of the ministers present couldn't help but gasped! Most of them were old ministers of the Sui Dynasty, and they also served in Yang Guang's court. Such results would have been achieved if
The report to Yang Guang back then would definitely make Yang Guang furious. He would definitely not be able to escape the charge of delaying the military plane. He might even be punished by Yang Guang for collaborating with the enemy. That would be enough to kill someone! The court now has the final say.
It was Wan He. If Wan He had the same temperament as Yang Guang, wouldn't Li Jing be bound to die?
But obviously Wan He and Yang Guang have completely different tempers. What's more, Li Jing has been with Wan He since Wan He became successful. Wan He naturally trusts Li Jing very much. After hearing the words of the Minister of War, Wan He only frowned slightly.
He frowned, immediately waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Li Jing did this because he was trying to play some tricks! Haha! Just let him go! Li Jing has never let me down before!"
As soon as Wan He said these words, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wan He has a good character, and they, who are ministers, are naturally much more relaxed. Then another person came out and bowed to Wan He.
, said: "Your Majesty! I have something to say. Please make your decision!"
Seeing this person suddenly popping up, Wan He also took a closer look. It was no one else, but Wei Zheng, the official who would go down in history for generations to come! Seeing Wei Zheng suddenly popping up, Wan He was also a little confused. After all this time of contact, Wan He
He also knew that although Wei Zheng was very resourceful, it was a pity that he was just stubborn and determined. No one could do anything about him. No wonder he became such a powerful minister in history!
Seeing Wei Zheng coming out, Wan He also frowned, but he didn't know what Wei Zheng had to say. Wei Zheng's first advice before was to prevent Wan He from continuing to recruit troops, but Wan He agreed. This time Wei Zheng should
Isn't it to ask Wanhe to quell the war and persuade others with virtue?
Wan He was sweating when he thought of banging pots and pans all day long, talking about how to persuade people with virtue, and to persuade others with virtue, but Wei Zheng jumped out, and Wan He couldn't let people stop talking.
Are you not allowed to say it? Thinking of this, Wan He could only wave his hands with black lines on his forehead and said: "Wei, what do you think Mr. Wei has to say?"
Seeing that Wan He had a weak look on his face when he saw him, Wei Zheng was also a little confused. It was clear that when he first joined King Liang, King Liang still valued him very much. Why did he look so weak now?
When he opened his mouth, Prince Liang looked like he had a headache?
Although he didn't understand why Wan He had such an attitude, Wei Zheng continued: "Your Majesty! I think that although the Tang army was defeated in Hongnong, its strength was not much damaged. If our army and the Tang army were allowed to fight in succession,
The longer the war drags on, the more the prince's soldiers and horses will be dragged into the war endlessly! Therefore, the official thought that if the war continued, it would lead to chaos. If Huayin could not be captured in a short time, it would be better to let Li
It would be best for the general to withdraw his troops back to Luoyang as soon as possible!"
Sure enough! As soon as he heard Wei Zheng's words, Wan He couldn't help but press his forehead, knowing that Wei Zheng wanted to raise such an opinion. After being in contact with Wei Zheng for a long time, Wan He's impression of Wei Zheng's aura had also faded away, leaving behind
The impression is that he is old-fashioned and stubborn. Now he is trying to persuade Wan He not to use weapons. I am afraid it is for the sake of the people! Although Wan He understands, he cannot accept it! Retreat? Peaceful coexistence? Even if Wan He agrees, then
We should also ask Li Shimin, Du Fuwei and others if they agree!
Seeing Wan He's face getting more and more ugly, Wei Zheng showed no intention of shutting up. Instead, he stepped forward, held out his chest, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that although Li Tang is a formidable enemy,
He is not the most threatening enemy in front of the prince! If we can withdraw Li Jing's army, concentrate our forces in the north, clear out the remaining troops in Liang Division, and revitalize northern Xinjiang, then we will have no worries and can devote ourselves to the war with Li Tang.
In contention!"
"Master Wei! Isn't that what it is, eh?" Hearing Wei Zheng continue to speak, Wan He also had a black line on his forehead. He couldn't help it and wanted to reject it, but he suddenly realized that when Wei Zheng opened his mouth, why?
But these words are filled with murderous intent? Is this still the old Master Wei who always talks about the people as the most important, the country as the second priority, and the king as the king? Who shouts like this, Mr. Wei Zheng, are you worthy of the person who will be in the history of your future generations?
Is it Zhengchen’s name?
Wei Zheng didn't know the complicated psychological changes in Wan He's heart. Seeing Wan He's silence, he thought Wan He didn't listen to his words, so he became a little anxious. He frowned and took another step forward, almost
Standing side by side with Changsun Wuji, he raised his hands to Wan He again and said: "Your Majesty! Although Master Liang has a minor illness, it is like a fish thorn in his throat. If it is not removed, it will cause great harm in the future! If we do not take advantage of this defeat,
In the hands of the prince, the troops were depleted, and if we capture it in one go, it will be ten times more difficult to capture the capital of Liang in the future! Please think again, prince!"
