After Yang Su finished speaking, Tang Zhong added: "But judging from the current situation, it is inevitable that the two sides will fight over the ownership of Guanzhong and even Luoyang."
Li Xingchen said directly: "As long as we can control the scope of the war, we will not hesitate to fight."
Yang Su hesitated for a moment and felt helpless: "Your Majesty, this is just the speculation of the Taiwei Mansion. The news about Baipao from Hebei has not yet come, and Baipao itself has no stable way to get together with Yu Wenxian and Yu Wenxian.
News about the thoughts of Zhou people’s high-ranking officials”
Li Xingchen pondered Yang Su's words with great interest, while Chen Zhishen's eyes kept moving back and forth on the map.
Obviously Li Xingchen was wondering whether his decision would bring the big man into the quagmire of war again. After all, Li Xingchen had no way of determining how much control Yu Wenxian had over the officials under his command and his own ambitions.
There are never a few wars in history that should not have happened but happened, and even some heroic figures sometimes had no way of controlling them.
In particular, Li Xinchen had made a lot of efforts to escape from the control of the family and gradually began to personally steer the ship of the Han Dynasty. But what about Yu Wenxian? In fact, Li Xinchen had no way of knowing. After all, Yu Wenxian
On Xian's side, the Shandong Family was not so easy to mess with. Historically, it was twenty or thirty years later in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties that the Shandong Family stood behind Li Jiancheng and challenged the Guanlong Group behind Li Shimin.
Twenty or thirty years ago, the Shandong family, which was born out of the Northern Qi aristocracy, was only strong but not weak.
Yang Su hesitated for a moment and then said: "So I think we still have to be prepared for a war at any time. If not, the best choice is to stop at the current front and not take a step towards Chang'an."
Li Xingchen frowned. He knew that this was definitely a matter of "growing others' ambitions and destroying one's own prestige", but there was indeed nothing wrong with what Yang Su said. After all, what big men now want to avoid is an all-out war. If this can really be done
It is also a good idea to arrive.
At this time, Chen Zhishen couldn't help but said: "If we can capture Chang'an and then turn around to attack the enemy, will Yu Wenxian really have the guts to fight us?"
Yang Su was startled for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This is undoubtedly more risky. Yu Wenxian will not necessarily be fooled by provoking generals, especially since Yu Wenxian is surrounded by generals such as Yu Wenchun. In their view, making contributions is obviously more important.
, and if you want to make great achievements and finally turn Yu Wenxian into the common master of the world, then war is naturally inevitable."
Li Xingchen gave a wry smile. The problem has obviously returned to the original place. War has never been and can hardly be a personal wish. There are too many interest entanglements and different groups and different people's interest demands involved behind it. Perhaps the ancients preferred
People may be more inclined to attribute the victory or defeat of the war to one person or blame it on one person, but after all, this person can only be regarded as the mastermind, and the other accomplices cannot be ignored.
Yu Wenxian not only has to represent the interests of the aristocratic families behind him, but also represents the interests of Yu Wenchun and other Northern Zhou generals. In addition, he also has his own decision. It is naturally unknown what the final outcome will be. After all, everyone has different ideas.
All of them may bias Yu Wenxian's final decision, so that even Yu Wenxian may not be able to accurately judge what he will choose in the end, let alone real outsiders like Li Xingchen.
In the Han Dynasty, various aristocratic families were fighting openly and secretly, and their interests were entangled, and Yu Wenxian's side was not much better.
"It's better to take one step now." Li Xingchen said cautiously, "Choose the opportunity to act and adapt to the situation. Otherwise, trying to guess the minds of so many people will make us forget the original purpose. Yang Aiqing also said just now
Now, we have two steps to take. Although the first step has been taken, it won’t be settled until the foot falls. Since we don’t know how to take the second step, let’s take the first step first.
If we take the first step well, the second step will naturally go more smoothly. If we don't take the first step well, we will be worried."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Yang Su said hurriedly.
And Li Xingchen looked at the young people who were considering these words carefully with some worry. These young people now have indeed begun to set their sights further away because of the long-term continuous victory of the Han Dynasty. For them, what is in front of them is
Since this step has been stabilized, there is no need to think more. What they should consider is how to continue to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Such a long-term vision is certainly not a bad thing for young people. Without a broad mind, it is naturally impossible to drive the big man's carriage forward. When Li Xingchen struggled to open up a path in troubled times, he never dared to hope for it.
On this day, Li Xingchen still envied these young people who were in their late teens and early twenties.
When you are in your prime, having the opportunity to guide the country is already a great blessing in life.
But young people tend to forget their feet when they look too far ahead, and eventually become too ambitious.
If you are aiming too high, there is a possibility that the horse may stumble, and once the big man's carriage rushes into the pit, it will not involve one or two people, but thousands of people and one or even several generations.
Only when you can clearly see the road ahead can you be qualified to look into the distance.
Therefore, Li Xingchen had to be vigilant.
I hope they can understand some truth from it, and they have to be vigilant about it. For a long time, young people like Yang Su have been in charge of the Taiwei Mansion. Yang Su himself lacks practical experience and is very likely to lead these young people.
The person went astray.
It seems that it is time to put Yang Su and even these young people down to practice.
What Li Xingchen needs is a consultant who can really be down-to-earth, consider every detail and formulate a complete strategic plan, not such a group of young men who always have a lofty vision. He does not want to follow in the footsteps of Benzi in World War II.
Or perhaps some fresh blood needs to be added. For example, Li Xingchen suddenly thought of the up-and-coming Li Jing. This young boy seems to be a good choice.
For this group of sheep to truly turn into howling wolves, there must still be a few people who can cause trouble and cause conflicts and competition.
Naturally, young talents like Li Jing and Li Yaoshi can do it.
"Okay, it's getting late. Everyone, please step aside." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Chen Qing's family hasn't eaten yet since they arrived in Xiangyang, right? I'll ask the imperial chef to prepare some."
"Thank you for your grace, your Majesty, but the army still needs to be settled. Please forgive me for being rude." Chen Zhishen said hurriedly.
He led the army almost non-stop all the way to Xiangyang before catching up with Li Xinchen. The army was tired and needed reorganization the most, so Chen Zhishen had actually been thinking about it for a long time.
