Gu Xun raised his hand and threw the letter in his hand on the table, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Wang Li fought so hard... the dogs shook their heads just looking at it!"
"Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, spent ten years and accumulated a great reputation at the expense of the rise and fall of the four kingdoms. I am afraid that it will be exhausted by him in one battle."
Zhang Liang, who was opposite him, took a sip of tea with a smile, put down his tea cup and replied, "For Wu Chenghou and his son, this is not a bad thing."
"Uh... you're right." Gu Xun was startled for a moment, then nodded in agreement with a smile.
The sky is big and the earth is big, small life is the biggest.
If Wang Li could knock down the dazzling lintel of the Wang family, it would really not be a bad thing.
Anyway, given Ying Zheng's temperament, he would either allow the Wang family to enjoy their wealth, or eradicate all three families.
If you can save your life, you can't save your wealth, but if you can't save your life... then that's it.
After teasing Wang Li, Zhang Liang brought the topic back to the topic and analyzed, "The victory in the battle at Daze Mountain was far smoother than Brother Gu and I expected."
"We wanted to plant a conspirator around Wang Li to ruin him, but we didn't expect that Luo Sheng would do it for us!"
Gu Xun nodded and said with a smile, "I did think about using the net, but I didn't expect... people took the initiative."
"Wang Li..."
Having said this, Gu Xun laughed a little uncomfortably.
Now that we review the actions of all parties in the Battle of Daze Mountain, it is not difficult to see that Wang Li's failure is understandable.
Soldiers must observe the land of life and death.
In the end, he managed to do things that he had to pay attention to without paying attention to everything. It's really not surprising that he lost.
What's outrageous about Wang Li is that he lost so miserably and was so embarrassed.
At least a disastrous defeat for both sides would at least let people know that he tried hard!
After Ying Zheng read the battle report, he probably suspected that Wang Li was playing the role of himself.
"Judging from the information sent back, Brother Gu, it seems that Wang Li is not covering up the Japanese?" Zhang Liang brought the topic back again.
Gu Xun suppressed his smile and nodded, "According to what Zhang Han said, Wang Li and Zhan Ri did appear in different places at the same time. Theoretically, they cannot be the same person."
"So?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile.
"So Zhenri is not just one person, or...Wang Li occasionally borrows Zhenri's identity." Gu Xun responded nonchalantly.
"In this case, Brother Gu, do you think it is possible for Wang Li to completely sever ties with Luo Wang through the Battle of Daze Mountain?" Zhang Liang asked again.
"Aren't you very clear about this kind of problem, Zifang?" Gu Xun raised his eyes, rolled his eyes, and asked indifferently.
Politically selected allies cannot be changed casually - not because of keeping promises, but because the temporary gains and losses are not enough to shake the alliance.
There is only one way to get Wang Li out of the trap - let others provide all the political resources and help Wang Li needs.
In the court today, the only people who can replace Zhao Gao are Li Si, who is the prime minister, and the eldest son.
The latter, Wang Li, didn't want to blend in and couldn't blend in, and the former was too close to Zhao Gao.
As for Zhang Han's goodwill toward Wang Li, let people remember him for at least two days. When the dust settles and everything returns to peace, who will still recognize you?
Zhang Liang nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I know, but this is not a good thing for us."
Hearing this, Gu Xun asked curiously, "What did you think of again?"
Zhang Liang asked back, "Brother Gu, what do you think will happen after Wang Li returns to Xianyang?"
"Uh..." Gu Xun thought for a moment, "With Ying Zheng's character and Wang Li's status, he shouldn't be punished severely. The most he can do is to be demoted and fined, plus he will be temporarily relieved of his command as the commander of the armor-piercing soldiers.
position."
On the one hand, this is punishment, on the other hand, it is also necessary treatment.
The crossbow infantry suffered serious losses, and more than one-third of the armor-piercing troops were lost in a hundred battles. The combat effectiveness was severely weakened. Moreover, the special nature of this army made it impossible to replenish its establishment in a short period of time.
In the case of uneven organization and insufficient combat power, the armor-piercing soldiers will either be temporarily hidden for preparation or temporarily integrated into other armies.
No matter how we deal with it, Wang Li, the general, can take a break for the time being.
"Then Brother Gu thinks where will Wang Li go after relinquishing his position as the commander-in-chief of the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Force?"
"Uh..." Gu Xun opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say.
He couldn't guess what Wang Li would do next.
The anime wasn't included, so he didn't understand the official history.
"Sent him to guard Longxi and sit on the bench for two years?" Gu Xun made a wild guess.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Brother Gu, why is this so?"
The west side of the empire is completely covered with desert, and there are not even many living people. Although it is a border, there is no need to station troops for defense.
Sending Wang Li away would be equivalent to destroying him.
If an imperial officer wants to climb up, there is only one way, and that is military merit. As for the hard work of qualifications... at least for Wang Li, it is a waste of his youth.
"The more disastrous the defeat, the more Wang Li needs military merit to prove himself again." Zhang Liang explained, "Before the battle at Daze Mountain, Wang Li was eager for military merit. After the battle at Daze Mountain, Wang Li will only be more thirsty."
"So?" Gu Xun had a little taste.
Zhang Liang said meaningfully, "Between the north and the south, where does Brother Gu think he would rather go?"
Gu Xun thought about it for a while, but had no clue.
The south side looks like a big hole. No matter how many people fill it in, it may not be able to fill it up. Normal people will definitely not go there if they want to gain military glory.
But the commander-in-chief of the northern frontier army is Meng Tian, and even if Wang Li passes by, he will only be a head shorter than him.
Will Wang Li be happy?
"North?" After a moment of confusion, Gu Xun chose the lesser of two evils.
Going to the north is a bit frustrating at best, but going to the south is like falling into a trap.
Zhang Liang nodded and said meaningfully, "Only the north."
"Not only will he choose the north, other people may also ask him to choose the north."
"What do you mean?" Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, already understanding what he meant.
Zhang Liang picked up the teacup, lowered his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "General Meng Tian alone commands more than 200,000 elite border troops in northern Xinjiang. How many people do you think Brother Gu will feel uneasy about?"
Gu Xun's eyes also darkened, he stroked the cup in front of him and said nothing.
Theoretically speaking, Meng Tian only has wartime military power, and it is only for the war in northern Xinjiang. There is no way that he can raise his arms and hundreds of thousands of troops will follow him to rebel against Te Niang.
After all, most of the wives, children, and children of these soldiers are at the rear. What should I do if I rebel against my family?
In the final analysis, only the soldiers brought out by the general himself are likely to follow in the rebellion.
The vast majority of the empire's regular troops were not trained by one person alone.
This is why after Fusu was sent to the North, most people did not think that he could still inherit the throne.
The reason why Prince Chong'er was exiled and eventually became Duke Wen of Jin was because there was far more than just Jin in the world at that time.
There is only one empire now!
Of course, this is all just theory.
In any case, the combination of a general with a heavy army and a prince who has fallen out of favor is a combination that is difficult to completely trust.
What's more, several counties in the North were governed by Fusu and Mengtian in the past few years, so they had some influence.
Zhao Gao will definitely not be relieved, and Ying Zheng... maybe won't be reassured either.
In this case, by placing Wang Li in the Northern Border Army, this risk can be basically eliminated.
After a moment of silence, Gu Xun smiled again, "So you are worried that the layout of Quicksand will be affected by Wang Li?"
"Necessary reminder." Zhang Liang smiled warmly and nodded.
"Well..." Gu Xun nodded, "I know it well, it's not a big problem."
Zhang Liang shrugged and did not continue to speak on this topic.
As a reminder, just click through.
At this time, Gu Xun reminded him in turn, "The focus of the empire will be Mount Tai, and Confucianism is the target of public criticism."
"Tsk..." When Zhang Liang heard this topic, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing bitterly.
The matter of Mount Tai's enshrinement of Zen was indeed a great temptation. Just one day passed, and almost all the Confucian scholars in Qilu began to commotion.
This is not only the influence of the Fengchan event itself, but also shows that the imperial court was deliberately promoting it behind the scenes, otherwise it would not have spread so quickly anyway.
There is no Internet these days!
The fate of the imperial court also means that even if Xiaoshengxianzhuang has no intention of getting involved, it has to get involved in this muddy water.
"Brother Gu, do you have any good ideas?"
"Me? How can I help you with suggestions?" Gu Xun replied, spreading his hands, and then changed the topic, "But, I do have a suggestion."
"Since you can't stay out of it, why not take the initiative to get involved."
"The orthodox place of this Zen ceremony should be the Little Sage Manor, which is a Confucian holy place, right?"
Zhang Liang raised his head in surprise.
What Gu Xun meant was to have Little Sage Village change its direction from dormancy to radicalism.
Although the secret cooperation between Little Saint Xianzhuang and Gu Xun has broken the original principle of not asking outside the window, the overall attitude is still low-key.
If you follow Gu Xun's suggestion, it will be like Xiaoshengxianzhuang officially announcing to the world that he is joining the world.
"This suggestion...I'm afraid Senior Brother will not agree." Zhang Liang hesitated and gave a rejection answer.
Gu Xun calmly held the tea cup and advised earnestly, "Zifang, you should know very well that no matter whether you are advancing or retreating, you have to make a decision. It is taboo to hesitate and waver."
"Or, just become a scholar who doesn't hear anything outside the window and only reads books by sages."
"Or, just happily join the world and compete with all the other sects in the world, as well as with your own Confucians."
"Brother Gu's words...do they have a deeper meaning?" Zhang Liang thought about it. Gu Xun's words were not just talking about Little Sage Village.
Gu Xun took a slow sip of tea, and then responded, "I don't mean to stop you, Zifang, it's just... a necessary reminder."
"Confucianism will not be destroyed, even if Ying Zheng targets it - none of the hundreds of schools of thought will be easily eliminated, let alone Confucianism, which is a prominent scholar."
"But Xiaoshengxian Village is not Confucian, it can be destroyed!"
The smile on Gu Xun's face disappeared, and he reminded him seriously, "What I say to you today is just like what I said to Han Fei back then."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. Unless there are some issues of principle, I will not stop you from doing anything."
Gu Xun... well, he doesn't care whether Little Sage Village is dead or not.
Han Fei has a relationship with the Little Saint's Village, and Jing Salamander has a relationship with the Little Saint's Village. He can't really care about its life or death no matter what.
However, there is only a limit.
South Korea is related to Han Fei, Honglian, and even Wei Zhuang, but Gu Xun has never thought of protecting it.
In this regard, Guxun has always respected the principle of saving people and losing land.
However, for Zhang Liang and other disciples of Little Saint Xian Village, this principle may not be acceptable to them.
So, you still have to think twice!
In history, the censorship system of the Qin Empire collapsed, and even Ying Zheng could get away with an assassination attempt on the outskirts of Xianyang, but in the world of the Qin Dynasty... the censorship system also collapsed.
But without the prosecutorial system, there is still the spy system called Luowang!
The more tricks Zhang Liang does, the more dangerous Little Sage Village becomes.
This is an issue he must consider, otherwise he will regret it when things reach an irreversible point.
Zhang Liang lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and remained silent.
………………
Outside Songhai Port, at the highest point of the mirage, inside the Toad Palace.
The innocent girl seemed to be kneeling in front of the phantom sound box forever, always in a state of confusion.
At this time, golden light flashed in the room, and Concubine Yan suddenly appeared in a long skirt.
The girl still knew nothing about her sudden appearance and just sat there blankly, without any reaction.
Concubine Yan didn't care about this either. She flicked her palm from her sleeve, and a ray of golden light appeared in her palm.
Half of a pill with golden lines lay quietly in the palm of her hand. It was Yun Zhongjun's half-finished elixir that had been cut off.
But at this time it is not only a semi-finished product, but also a ‘semi-finished product’.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I don’t know where the other half went.
Concubine Yan raised her head to look at the girl, stretched out her hand and sent it forward, and half of the pill naturally flew towards the girl and flew into her mouth.
The elixir melts in the mouth, flows into the girl's throat without any obstruction, flows down the river, and goes straight into the body, and then the medicine takes effect quickly.
Under normal circumstances, it takes quite some time for the elixir to take effect, unless there is an expert in the field to help speed up the effectiveness of the medicine.
However, this elixir-gathering pill is extraordinary. Even if it is only a semi-finished product, the effect is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the power of the elixir began to take effect, and green and white smoke began to emit from all over the girl's body, as if her whole body was boiling.
Immediately afterwards, shrouded in the lingering smoke, the girl's lifeless eyes suddenly closed, her whole body began to tremble violently, and she let out unconscious whimpering sounds.
Soon, everything returned to calm, and the girl's condition returned to normal, no longer trembling or moaning.
She opened her eyes again, and a ray of golden light suddenly shot out from her eyes and disappeared in a flash.
The golden light dissipated, and the girl's eyes emerged.
But this time, the girl's eyes showed the look of a living person.
A puzzled look appeared on her face, and she immediately looked at the place where Concubine Yan was standing before, but it was empty now.
A flash of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes.
She remembered that there seemed to be someone there?
………………
Dongjun, Daze Mountain, outside the dilapidated wooden house.
Under the dense rain curtain, the open space outside the house was filled with corpses in various postures.
Their unified characteristic is that they all have the logo of the Snare Killer.
And the dilapidated wooden house had completely collapsed and turned into a ruin in the strict sense.
Wei Zhuang, Gai Nie, and Xiaoyaozi stood among the ruins.
