Xu Ling's voice was very gentle: "According to His Majesty's wishes, tomorrow is to hear your judgment and understanding of the Bashu war situation and the entire front. Obviously His Majesty also wants to know what you think of the current general trend of the world, and Da Chen is now
Like a trapped animal in a cage, His Majesty knows exactly what he needs to do..."
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment and understood what Xu Ling meant.
Now Nanchen needs a direction to attack, or in other words, needs to find an opportunity to break free from the shackles of Jingzhou and Huai River and expand outward.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, even if civil strife breaks out in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which has completely occupied the Central Plains, as long as the entire state organization can still operate, it will still be stronger than Nan Chen, who has just stood up from the ruins of Hou Jing's Rebellion, in terms of heritage and national strength.
When a trapped beast struggles too many times and exerts too much effort, its strength will be almost used up, and its patience and fighting spirit will naturally be worn away. After that, it will be even more difficult to make a breakthrough.
.
Zhuge Liang made seven expeditions out of Qishan, and Jiang Wei made nine expeditions to the Central Plains. Everyone knows what the final result will be.
The drained fighting spirit, the growing gap in national strength, etc. made everything irreversible, and in the end we could only sit back and wait for destruction.
The trapped beasts still fight, but how many trapped beasts can finally break through the cage?
Therefore, Chen Xu knew very well that now was not the time to attack Li Xinchen. In this one-third of an acre of land in Jiankang Mansion, Chen Xu, as the emperor, was the one who kept his word. But if Chen Xu captured Li Xinchen at this time, what he would get in exchange would be
It may be that the whole of Nanchen is trapped in a cage forever, and if Li Xingchen is believed, at least everything will not develop according to what is known now, and at least there will be a chance to try to break through.
Chen Xu is not stupid, he understands the value of Li Xinchen's existence.
After thinking about this, we can be sure that Chen Xu will never attack Li Xinchen easily in the court tomorrow. At least until Li Xinchen gives a suitable answer, he will be safe.
Li Xingchen took a breath. In this stuffy air, this may be the only good news he knew. However, Xu Ling and Xu Deyan still had a trace of worry in their eyes.
Although it is safe now, who can guarantee that Chen Xu will not turn his back on him after this? In order to maintain the stability of the throne, any morality, trust and respect can be broken at any time if they are not outdated.
It's just window paper.
The candlelight was dim, and on the eve of the approaching storm, everyone held their breath and waited for the thunder.
Xu Ling coughed lightly: "When you go to court tomorrow, generals must remember that whether I or Sikong will speak for you, it does not mean that everything will help you. Everyone's grasp of the situation here is different.
But I believe the general can understand."
Li Xinchen looked solemn. He knew what Xu Ling meant. Whether it was Xu Ling or Wu Mingche, they could follow Li Xinchen to great heights, but there was no way they could bring the whole family to be buried with Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen did not blame them, after all, everyone was the icing on the cake.
It can be done, but it is not so easy to provide help in times of need. Once it fails, hundreds or even thousands of lives may be involved.
Neither Xu Ling nor Wu Mingche gave the entire family and those who followed them the ability to make this decision. When Li Xinchen was helpless, it was impossible for them to continue to protect Li Xinchen or defend him.
Of course, if Li Xinchen had been criticized by other courtiers, Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and others would definitely not sit idly by and do nothing, and would even go so far as to persuade Chen Xu to follow Li Xinchen's suggestions.
Li Xingchen had no expectations for this. The fact that Xu Ling and Wu Mingche could support his plan at this time was enough to make Li Xingchen happy.
It’s always happy to be content!
Xu Ling then smiled and made an invitation gesture to Li Xingchen: "General, we have finished talking about official matters. There are also some private matters of our Xu family that need to be discussed with the general."
Li Xingchen was a little surprised, but Xu Ling said calmly: "My grandson has always been naughty. Thanks to the general's careful teaching, he is now able to stand out and can shoulder the responsibilities of his side. I am deeply pleased. Now my Xu family is still
There are many young disciples, although their qualifications are mediocre, but I think that under the general's teaching and influence, there is still room for improvement in learning and exploration, so I would like to ask the general to be this teacher for our Xu family."
After Xu Ling finished speaking, before Li Xingchen could reply, Xu Deyan had already solemnly raised his hand to Li Xingchen: "What the great father said is absolutely true. Since Xiuyuan followed the general, he has been fighting in the north and south for more than two years, and his knowledge and courage have increased. You can
I have benefited a lot, and now that I think about it, I am especially grateful for the general’s earnest teachings, and I hope you will not hesitate to teach me.”
Li Xinchen had just recovered from his surprise at this time. He knew that Xu Ling had begun to place a bet. In name, he was asking Li Xinchen to teach his students, but in fact he was adding the young children of the Xu family to Li Xinchen's team.
For Li Xinchen, it can certainly solve the current problem of insufficient talents. For the Xu family, it is equivalent to dispatching a large number of talents to Li Xinchen's group. Later, as Li Xinchen's group continues to develop and grow, these people will naturally become
part of the whole group.
From the perspective of the development of Li Xinchen's group and the Xu family, this is naturally a mutually beneficial matter. However, from the current background, Xu Ling's move is naturally tantamount to risking the future of the entire Xu family on Li Xinchen's.
On the body.
On the eve of a storm that could come at any time, Xu Ling made a decisive decision.
He believed in Li Xingchen and even risked the future of the entire Xu family.
Li Xingchen's eyes gradually became brighter. He looked at Xu Ling. Xu Ling then said: "The Xu family has been somewhat established over the years, so if the general doesn't dislike it, these naughty people will be entrusted to the general."
Teach me, in addition, in order to thank the general, the Xu family should pay gold and silver to the general. The Xu family is not a wealthy family. One thousand taels of gold and three thousand taels of silver are just a lucky draw, and the general is welcome to accept them."
Will the old man pay you back?
At this moment, Li Xingchen even wanted to hug Xu Ling and give her a kiss.
You must know that what Li Xinchen lacks most now is not talent, but money. Money is not everything, but at least now Li Xinchen can do a lot of things he wants to do.
Recruiting soldiers, settling the people, building workshops, and building city defenses, which part does not require money, and which part does not require money? Li Xingchen now does not dare to look at how much property he has in his treasury. It can be said that it is
After the money from the Jiangtang family and the original Bashu prefectures was transported into Shu County, it was quickly spread out like water. If it hadn't been for the new year, all the tax revenue from Ba County and other places fell into the hands of Li Xinchen, and Yang Su also promptly
With the support of a batch of gold, Li Xingchen may have already been unable to make ends meet.
