Shen Jungao did not exchange much greetings with Xu Ling. As soon as he walked into Xu Ling's study, he said softly: "I think Prime Minister Xu knows what's going on in the north. I'm afraid there will really be turmoil in Chang'an this time, otherwise there won't even be soldiers and horses."
Moved."
After a pause, Shen Jun spoke eloquently: "This can only mean that Yang Jian really intends to break up with Yu Wenxian, so he can no longer care about anything."
Xu Ling frowned. He could detect the anxiety and eagerness in Shen Jungao's words, but Xu Ling knew that the more anxious he was, the more likely his judgment would be biased. The problem Shen Jungao mentioned was indeed obvious, but it was really
Is it just like what Shen Jungao said?
Neither Yang Jian nor Yu Wenxian was an economical person. How could he expose such obvious flaws so easily and clearly tell the world that turmoil was about to break out in the Northern Zhou Dynasty?
You must know that when Yu Wenyong attacked the Northern Qi Dynasty, it can really be described as "intense". It was not until the Northern Zhou army came out that Nan Chen got the news. But by that time, it was too late. By the time Wu Mingche led his army northward, the Northern Zhou Dynasty
The army had already wiped out the unprepared Northern Qi with lightning speed, but Wu Mingche got nothing in the end and was almost trapped in Luliang.
In that war, Yu Wenxian was the vanguard of the Northern Zhou army, and Yang Jian was the general of the Chinese army. Both of them were personally involved in this battle. How could they not know why the Northern Zhou Dynasty won? Naturally, they shouldn't do it now.
So much fanfare.
This is why Xu Ling has always been skeptical after receiving the news.
If this is a trap, then the one who believes in the outermost illusion of the trap will undoubtedly lose the most.
Seeing that Xu Ling remained silent, Shen Jungao suddenly calmed down a bit and asked in surprise: "Does Mr. Xu think something is wrong?"
Xu Ling did not answer in a hurry, but paced back and forth for a long time, and then said calmly: "Soldiers are not afraid of deceit. Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian are both military strategists. They can even be said to be the best generals among the Zhou people. If they really want to defeat each other,
It will definitely not be so arrogant."
"This..." Shen Jungao raised his eyebrows. To be honest, this was something he had never considered before. In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Shen Jungao. After all, Shen Jungao was just a civil servant and had not participated in the war. Naturally,
There is no way to fully understand it.
What's more important is that the only person Shen Jungao can discuss with now is Fu Yi, and Fu Yi is definitely no better than Shen Jungao. Otherwise, Shen Jungao would not be able to decisively come to ask Xu Ling's opinion.
"It can only mean that Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian want to express their dissatisfaction to each other..." Xu Ling tapped the table lightly.
Compared with Shen Jungao, he has personally experienced many bloody battles in the founding of Nanchen and the Huajiao Rebellion nine years ago, so he naturally has a deeper understanding of military affairs. At least this kind of blatant mobilization and training of troops is definitely
It's not to directly attack the opponent, but on the contrary, if you want to use it as bait to lure the enemy who is preparing to watch the fire from the other side, so as to vent the anger of both parties, I'm afraid it really makes sense...
Thinking of this, Xu Ling's expression became more solemn.
The only enemies left in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were Nanchen and Li Xinchen of Bashu.
No matter who takes the bait, they will be prey for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
According to the information received by Xu Ling, Li Xingchen is currently concentrating on the construction of Bashu. It is unlikely that he will send troops rashly, so the only one left in the end will be Nanchen. And his Majesty, Nanchen, will never let anyone go.
"Opportunity" man!
This time even Shen Jungao was tempted, let alone Chen Xu!
But how much can Chen Xu listen to his own persuasion now?
"Xu Xiang?" Shen Jungao asked doubtfully.
Xu Ling sighed softly: "Brother Shen, listen to me, you must not act rashly at this time. There must be many articles here, but I can't see through them now. You'd better ask Xiao Mohe
Opinions, of course..."
"Um?"
"Of course there are his opinions." Xu Ling said in a deep voice.
Shen Jungao took a breath: "He, Li Xingchen?!"
Xu Ling nodded solemnly: "Li Xingchen must have a clearer view of the world's situation than we do."
"But..." Shen Jungao frowned. Why would Li Xingchen take the initiative to give reasonable advice to a destined future opponent like Dong Gong? This made Shen Jungao confused. What if Li Xingchen designed a trap to harm Dong Gong?
"He will tell you what to do," Xu Ling said straightforwardly, "You can rest assured about this."
Having said this, Xu Ling had already turned around and picked up the official document on the desk and looked at it carefully, obviously not intending to answer Shen Jungao's more questions.
Xu Ling knew very well that Li Xingchen would not deceive Xu Ling, and would even tell Shen Jungao what he should do, because now the Northern Zhou Dynasty needed a place to vent, so Li Xingchen and Nan Chen said nothing should be done at this time, and the best way was
Strictly guard the defensive line and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. Only when the Northern Zhou chaos is complete can Li Xunchen and the East Palace truly profit from it.
And this may be Donggong's last chance to cooperate with Li Xinchen.
But Xu Ling knew that being able to reach a consensus between Shen Jungao and Li Xingchen was only the first step. The real difficulty to deal with was Chen Xu, the emperor of Nanchen. After all, at least now, even if the power of the East Palace is huge, it still has to obey the emperor.
The order was given. Once Chen Xu made up his mind to take action at this time, even Shen Jungao and the others would not be able to stop him.
And Shen Jungao slowly closed his eyes. Although he didn't understand what Xu Ling meant, he could hear the sincerity in Xu Ling's words.
This old fox obviously didn't mean to lie to him. He and Xu Ling had a lot of personal relationships. Of course, he knew that this old fox would usually not speak up about this kind of problem. Now that he did, he would naturally not tell lies.
Anyway, there is no other choice now, so it is better to give it a try.
At that moment, Shen Jungao solemnly raised his hand to Xu Ling: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Xu Ling was not polite to Shen Jun and made a gesture of invitation.
After watching Shen Jungao leave, Xu Ling just sighed softly, looked up out of the window, and murmured:
"Li Xingchen, I guess you don't want to watch the trouble go to waste. The more lively the Zhou people are, the better it is for you. But that's all I can help you. I don't know what you are going to do next.
Do you want His Majesty to follow your advice? The situation that Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian set up intentionally or unintentionally this time is not easy to solve..."
As Shen Jungao walked out of Xu Ling's study quickly, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and looked back, but in the end he held it back and continued walking forward.
