"How can I aspire to the throne if he is not a serious enemy?" Rong Suihe sneered when he heard this and said, "The world always forgets that during the reign of Emperor Mu Zong, due to the continuous natural and man-made disasters, the Central Plains was unable to resist Ruru's robbery. , everyone in the government and the public almost dreamed that a famous general who would be victorious in every battle would appear and avenge the past humiliation!"
"It's a pity that Emperor Mu Zong, a man of great talent and strategy, didn't wait for someone until his death. Emperor Xiaozong did show up, and he was General Zhou!"
"In Gu's opinion, this general is good at everything, but he has committed a common problem among warriors. He only knows how to kill the enemy bravely, and does not care about the situation in the court. He does not understand the principle of raising thieves to respect themselves!"
A cold look flashed in his eyes, "If he hadn't been so dedicated when he was defending Northern Xinjiang and let Northern Xinjiang's defense line be sparsely separated, he would definitely not be able to stop Ruru. Look at who dares to target him easily! "
"The situation I'm in now in the court is that I'm surrounded by enemies on all sides!"
"Even if people like Marquis Ning Wei and others are willing to help out for the sake of their elders, Marquis Ning Wei himself has no real power!"
"What little favor he has in the Northern Xinjiang Army is of little use when faced with things like the struggle for power!"
"Gu is still so young. Everyone in the government and the public is questioning how he can compete with the King of Gaomi and the Meng family because of his age."
"Do you think that if I want to prove it to the world, should I choose the way of governing the country, or the illustrious military exploits that women and children can clearly see at a glance? Oh, by then we should call it Li Shuji's plan to protect the family and the country!"
Not to mention that Rong Suihe has never mastered the art of governing the country. Even if he has listened to Huan Guanlan teach him the secrets before, he is just watching the fire from the other side. He is not profound and may not be able to perform amazingly. Just say that the King of Gaomi and the Meng family , who is not a giant who has controlled the government for decades, and they have not fallen down yet, so there is naturally something to be said for this.
Moreover, many things are difficult to have both ways. If you really want to find fault, you will be wrong no matter what.
When it comes to long-established dignitaries like the King of Gaomi and the Meng family, there are a group of accomplices who help explain that land washing is the best choice out of desperation; when it comes to the young Rong Suihe, it means that young people are not reliable after all. .
That's why Rong Suihe was stupid enough to compete with these two opponents on political affairs!
"What the prince means is to use the help of Na Fuzhen to strengthen ourselves for the time being. When the time is right, let Na Fuzhen invade the Central Plains. When the Meng family and the Gaomi King are helpless, we will take action to win over people's hearts. When?" Xu Lianshan pondered for a while and asked, "In this case, we have to ensure that Na Fuzhen is always under control! But no matter what kind of handle we have on him now, as long as he is firmly seated in the Khan position , I’m afraid they will all have backlash in the future!”
He suggested, "How about we try to get one of Tengchen Riyu's heirs now so that we can stumble Nafuzhen in the future?"
Rong Suihe shook his head and said: "That would be too troublesome, and there is no need: Ruru's population and territory are far inferior to Damu's. If the two countries fight to the death, Ruru will definitely lose!"
Xu Lianshan was surprised: "What is the prince's plan?"
Could it be that he planned to forcefully kill Ruru? However, even if Damu's territory and population are greater than Ruru's, if they forcefully destroy a country, their vitality will definitely be severely damaged!
By that time, not only revolts will break out in the world, but resentment will definitely arise among the people.
Why bother with this kind of thing that consumes Rong's Fuzuo for nothing
"Nafu really doesn't dare to fight to the end with Gu." Rong Suihe saw his thoughts, smiled lightly, and said, "Since he was persuaded to surrender by Gu, he has a good understanding of what kind of person Gu is. So if he When he becomes Ruru Khan in the future, unless he is sure that he can defeat Damu, he will either take his men and flee to the desert, and then come back when Gu dies... Well, he is twice as old as Gu. There’s no hope; either be quick and surrender directly!”
"However, Nafuzhen himself is afraid of being alone, but the leaders of Ruru may not be!"
"If you can't convince the leaders, then Fuzhen won't be able to escape far away with his followers."
"So after he became Ruru Khan, he had only one choice, which was to surrender to Gu!"
"Your Majesty, these aliens are not good people at this time. How can you trust the promises made when you were a prisoner?" Although Xu Lianshan knew that Rong Suihe was good at training people, when he was a teenager, he taught those in the Wuyi Camp The ferocious master managed to deal with each one more well-behaved than the other, but Nafuzhen's identity was different after all. He was the old Khan's favorite son. He was only one step away from the position of Khan. Even now, he is also the third son under the Khan. How could a person with a noble status still have a lingering fear of Rong Sleeping Crane after he returned to the grassland even if he fell into the enemy's hands
He is the old man in front of Rong Suihe. His trust and closeness are only lower than Gongsun Xi. He speaks straightforwardly, "The leaders of Ruru will not choose to stay away from Na Fuzhen just because he is afraid of you." Escape to the desert. For the same reason, we at Damu will not agree that you and Ruru will fight to the end! Those old killers who live in temples, each and every one of them have a lot of wealth and have wives and concubines. If Ruru only lives in the frontier, Even if they come to slaughter the village every day, the people they kill are not their own children, so they don’t feel bad!”
"How can you be determined to meet Ruru at the expense of your country's power?"
"Even if the county king uses his power to force us, they will definitely try their best to hold us back!"
"So my subordinates still feel that it is too dangerous to let Na Fuzhen return to the grassland!"
Rong Suihe looked at him and said: "Lianshan, you have overlooked one point: Na Fuzhen's experience has been very tortuous, and he is recognized as a talented person among the upper echelons of Ruru; however, even so, he has not been able to follow Deng until now. Chen Liyu’s revenge was successful!”
"Do you think, even with our secret help, how much of Ruru's strength will be lost in the internal fighting after Fuzhen ascends to the throne?"
"Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Ruru's eight thousand royal tent guards. Denchen Liyu will leave them intact to Nafu Zhen's command?!"
The hatred between Dengchen Liyu and Nafuzhen is the hatred for seizing the throne and the hatred for harming their mother. Under normal circumstances, there is basically no possibility of reconciliation.
Therefore, if Dengchen Liyu felt that he was powerless to make a comeback, he would definitely retaliate crazily and use all the power in his hands to avoid taking advantage of Na Fuzhen after he left.
In this case, it’s strange that Ruru doesn’t lose her vitality!
After all, although they, men, women, old and young, can ride and shoot, the eight thousand royal guards are experts carefully selected from all Ruru. Such elites cannot be produced without time accumulation!
In particular, how many relatives do these eight thousand royal guards have
Once their entire army is destroyed, how many people will hate Fuzhen
"But how can Ruru threaten the Central Plains after her vitality is severely injured?" Xu Lianshan asked again, "If they cannot threaten the Central Plains, the Central Plains will not know the importance of supporting you!"
Rong Suihe said: "Two methods: One is for us to cooperate with Na Fuzhen, let Yizhou go and let them drive straight in. It is best to help them march to Chang'an City and shock the government and the public!"
"The second method is to let Ruru rest and recuperate on the grassland to stop the weapons... But in this case, the Western Xinjiang Army and the Southern Xinjiang Army can just pay it off. The Northern Xinjiang Army does not need to have so many people, and the treatment does not need to be so good. Isn’t it?"
Xu Lianshan pondered and said: "The first method is the most intuitive. Since the founding of the country, although there have been wars with Ruru from time to time, there has never been a precedent of foreigners trampling into the capital! Those high-ranking officials who are afraid of death must be panicked after hearing the news , I just want General Zhou to be resurrected to protect them!"
"But with all due respect, this method is not advisable because the consequences will be too great!"
"As my colleagues said during the previous discussion, if the prince just wants to be the king and hegemon in Western Xinjiang, reputation is not important."
"But since the king of the county cares about the world, how can he be so stained?"
"How can a wise king betray his country and then save it?"
"There is no airtight wall in the world, and Ruru is not a trustworthy person. Maybe she will publicize the prince's plan after the army arrives in Chang'an!"
"So I think the second method is better!"
"The Northern Xinjiang Army has been enjoying the favor of the imperial court for several years. It is said that it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Over the years, the imperial court has continuously allocated funds to cultivate a group of arrogant soldiers and strong future."
"Those soldiers at the bottom may want to be disarmed and return to their fields because they are afraid of dying in battle."
"But the generals and officers of the Northern Xinjiang Army are not necessarily the same!"
"As the old saying goes, when the birds are gone, a good bow will be hidden; when a cunning rabbit dies, a lackey will be cooked."
"Without the threat of Ruru, the status of the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely plummet!"
"Even if the county king doesn't propose disarmament by then, those of them with a little bit of brains should know that their prosperous days in the past few decades are over!"
"How can the Northern Xinjiang Army not panic?"
"They panicked and naturally they had to take action."
"In the army, if you want to improve your status, you naturally have to fight."
"Either civil war or foreign war."
"It's just that the risk of civil war is too high. Once we lose, it will be a disaster for our parents, wives and children!"
"It's a foreign war. As long as Damu is not destroyed, even if they die in battle, they will sacrifice their lives for the country! Not to mention the family members, at least they will not bring trouble to the family!"
"At that time, as long as we use Duke Huan and Ning Weihou's hidden secrets in the northern Xinjiang army to guide us, we will not be afraid that they will not support the prince!"
Xu Lianshan said this in one breath, picked up the tea bowl on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped his mouth casually, "Prince, what do you think?"
Rong Suihe pondered: "If we use the second method, then we have to withdraw from Yizhou now, and we have to take some of the people with us. Otherwise, we will have a reputation of abandoning the city and not caring about it. The next step The plan is bound to have twists and turns... The problem is, it's not that Gu doesn't want to lead others, but that Ruru is good at running attacks, and the Western Xinjiang Army is unreliable. Once they are overtaken, they will inevitably be defeated like a mountain!"
"At that time, even if Ruru is led into the encirclement of the Southern Xinjiang Army, our people will have to disperse the Southern Xinjiang Army's queue before Ruru discovers the trap!"
"You can imagine the consequences then!"
Xu Lianshan thought for a while after hearing this, and also felt a headache. He was about to talk about whether it would be possible to bring a few prominent figures with him to fool him, but he heard Rong Suihe say: "So there is only this: retreat in two groups! Do it alone!" Bait, go all the way alone, let Le Yangwen take the people in the city and the manpower left by the princess with you, and go another way! In this way, even Ruru will divide his troops, but Gu believes that they are more interested in Gu than in robbing the people. interest!"
After all, leaving aside Rong Suihe's status as a descendant of the clan and a county king, just because he is married to the world-famous wealthy woman Sheng Weiqiao, it is obvious that he is worth a lot of money! Once you get it, the oil and water may not be less than the people of a city!
"Absolutely not!" Xu Lianshan almost jumped up after hearing this, and said over and over again, "How can this be done?! If we want to escort the people in the city to retreat, we will not be able to put all the troops in at the moment!"
"If you still have to bear the bait, you definitely can't bring too many troops!"
"Ruru was originally very fast, but now we don't have any decent cavalry at all. The horses were all obtained from the Meng family!"
"If you are caught up, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Is Gu such an easy person to catch?" Rong Suihe smiled lightly, "Or do you think Gu's abilities won't be enough after leaving the sea?"
Seeing that Xu Lianshan seemed to be about to say something else, he raised his hand and stopped, half-smiling but not smiling, "Didn't you say so yourself? You only care about the world, so how can you not consider your reputation?"
Xu Lianshan was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and suddenly said: "Prince, you have wanted to be a bait for a long time. You are afraid that your subordinates will object, so you deliberately set a trap for your subordinates!"
