After coming to this era, it is not that Li Xingchen has not met some famous figures in history, such as Xu Ling, Xiao Mohe and others, Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong, and even Yang Su and Changsun Sheng, etc.
For those who are familiar with the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, these names are quite familiar. However, after all, these people all appeared as courtiers in history, and a large part of them were on Li Xinchen's side.
Opposites, so Li Xingchen doesn't have to worry about how to get along with them, he only needs to think about how to defeat them.
With Li Xingchen's current ability and strength, even if Yang Jian is in front of him, he will not flinch. After all, Yang Jian at this time is far from comparable to the majestic Sui Guogong in another time and space.
But the Li Yuan who appeared in front of Li Xingchen was different. Li Xingchen knew very well what he had done in history. To be honest, Li Xingchen had no control over Li Yuan. But now that Li Yuan had come to his door, Li Xingchen must have also
It is impossible not to cherish talents.
Come to think of it, heroes emerge in troubled times. If it weren't for Emperor Sui Yang's troubles, Li Yuan might have been the Duke of Tang in the end, and maybe because of his calm character, he would rise to the top, dominate the world, and eventually leave his loyal minister in the history of the world.
reputation.
In history, there are many explanations for Li Yuan's rise in the army. The help of Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji and others who were unwilling to be left behind, the promotion of the second son Li Shimin who was ambitious in the world, etc., seemed to have molded Li Yuan's image into a timid and fearful person.
He looked like he was put on the throne.
But Li Xingchen didn't quite believe this. Firstly, there were jokes from novelists mixed in, which made it difficult to distinguish the authenticity over time. Secondly, the image of Li Yuan was created as a person of great benevolence and virtue, and he was completely forced to raise an army to conquer the world.
, for the Tang Dynasty and the many large and small courts in later generations that claimed to be descendants of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, there seemed to be no harm.
At least Li Xingchen, through his own judgment in this time and space, found that there are still many deviations and discrepancies in history. After all, concise and concise historians only use a few words to create a person, which naturally leads to an extremely rigid and monotonous image of the person. But the fact is
Everyone in the world is of flesh and blood, so how could there be only one unchanging personality in life?
For example, Li Yuan, who Li Yuchen had just met, would have thought that it was this young man who seemed quite heroic in history who finally won the world? And if he had not understood this period of history, Li Yuchen would never have associated this young man with the history books.
It is connected with the generous and generous image created on it.
Times make heroes, it is true, sometimes the rolling tide of the times can indeed make a person change a lot.
Li Xingchen is not sure whether his descendants will give Li Yuan this opportunity - he has no descendants yet - but he is convinced that at least here, Li Yuan will only exist as a loyal and honest minister, not as an ambitious one.
The hero.
Li Yuan left with Li Xingchen's promise, and since Li Xingchen agreed, he had to wait for Chang'an's reply. Yu Yi of Yuntian and Helan's division of Jieting had already begun to withdraw their troops, and Xiao Shilian, who had left Yangping Pass, also sent his troops to
Retreat to Hanzhong.
In addition, Changsun Sheng, Liang Luan, Niu Tong and others have already begun making arrangements to take over cities from various places.
Li Xinchen had to admit that Changsun Sheng was indeed an expert in local civil affairs and diplomacy. Under his mediation, almost all the cities fell into Li Xinchen's hands safely. However, there had always been gaps between the various parties due to the issue of profit distribution.
The big aristocratic family, at least on the surface, is still "happy and harmonious".
At least when Li Xingchen arrived in Anding, the streets were peaceful and lively. No one would have thought that just a few days ago, this place had been the front line of the battlefield, and the entire city was almost caught in the flames of war.
Changsun Sheng and Niu Tong, who arrived in Anding first, were waiting for Li Xingchen. From stabilizing the situation in Tianshui to taking over the surrounding counties of Tianshui, and finally arriving at Anding, Changsun Sheng's journey could be said to be non-stop, so when Li Xingchen saw Changsun Sheng's
At that time, this guy's eyes were bloodshot, the dark circles were obvious, and his clothes were full of dust and mud, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had changed them.
Of course, in fact, Niu Tong, who was standing next to Chang Sun Sheng, and everyone present, including Li Xingchen, were almost like this. The tense situation in the northwest made it impossible for everyone who was working on it to have a good rest.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to support Changsun Sheng who wanted to salute. Regardless of his superiority, he directly took his wrist and walked up the steps of Anding Mansion. Niu Tong, Cheng Feng and others did not dare to neglect and quickly followed.
Above. Li Xingchen said with a smile: "My brother Changsun has done a great job in stabilizing the northwest this time. He deserves the first credit!"
Changsun Sheng was startled for a moment, almost ecstatic. He did not expect that Li Xingchen did not give the first credit to any of the generals fighting on the front line, but to him, a civil servant. Although it is conceivable that Li Xingchen wanted to appease him.
Yang Su and others in Chang'an must also have Li Xinchen's affirmation of his efforts!
This kind of affirmation is nothing short of an encouragement to Changsun Sheng, who has long felt that his background is not as good as Yang Su's, and his ability is even less outstanding than his.
Li Xingchen looked at the excited and uncontrollable expression on Changsun Sheng's face and smiled slightly. Changsun Sheng's expression was obviously what Li Xingchen wanted to see, and Li Xingchen didn't find any clues about Changsun Sheng's thoughts.
After all, whether Chang Sun Sheng or Li Yuan, these young people are now standing with Yang Su, but Yang Su's ability and charm are too outstanding, so at least according to restrictions, they have no way to compare with Yang Su.
Young people are the most competitive, so it is reasonable to feel lonely.
I think back when Li Xingchen gradually surpassed Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, they both felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts. However, this discomfort was not jealousy of Li Xingchen, but a kind of self-blame for their own incompetence.
As Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie gradually achieved results in the subsequent wars, their thoughts became increasingly diluted. It was no longer possible to compete with Li Xinchen. Facts have proved that Li Xinchen is definitely the monster of this era, but the two of them
He can now definitely be regarded as the best among his peers.
Li Xingchen also wanted to give Changsun Sheng a certain degree of confidence through the conquest of the northwest. For such a politician who had stabilized the border for two generations and forty years, Li Xingchen did not mind cultivating him more.
As a latecomer, Li Xingchen is very clear about the benefits and opportunities that an excellent diplomat can bring to this country. (To be continued)
