After sitting down, Li Shimin looked at Su Dingfang carefully.
I saw that this young general was built with a strong back and strong back, tough and powerful, and he was only about 20 years old, so he looked very heroic.
The more Li Shimin watched, the more he fell in love: Well, he looks like the embryo of a famous general!
"General Su, you have worked hard here." Li Shimin looked humble and showed no pretensions: "I won't hide anything from you, General. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Su Dingfang was a little stunned.
You must know that now he is just a rising young general in Xia Kingdom. His reputation is simply incomparable to that of Li Shimin and Xia Yu.
He didn't know what his future achievements would be, so he was really flattered.
Just when Su Dingfang was flattered and didn't know how to respond, Xia Yu also smiled and said: "I know that General Su must be frightened and uneasy at this time, thinking it is a trap?"
Su Dingfang was caught off guard again. He didn't expect Xia Yu's words to be so direct and to the point. His face was full of embarrassment and he didn't know how to answer.
He is the same type of person as Han Xin. He is the best soldier, but he is the worst politician. He is not good at maneuvering and dealing with interpersonal relationships.
Otherwise, with his talents, he would not have been idle throughout the Zhenguan Dynasty, doing nothing.
It was not until the Li Zhi period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that most of the famous Zhenguan generals passed away, and then they were finally reused and became the god generals who destroyed the country.
"Haha, the general is overly concerned." Xia Yu comforted him with a gentle voice: "To put it bluntly, the general's current reputation is not worth using tricks by His Highness and me."
Su Dingfang's face turned a little red, but he had to admit that this was the truth. Although this was a bit embarrassing and frustrating, he felt at peace in his heart.
Xia Yu continued: "The reason why I solemnly recruit the general is because I think the general is a true general."
"The pearl will be covered with dust and the years will be wasted, so I asked His Highness to order the general to come here."
Li Shimin was worthy of being an outstanding admirer with extremely high emotional intelligence and extremely high IQ. He smiled and said, "General, does he know what the military advisor thinks of you?"
Su Dingfang Daqi.
He really wanted to know what the unparalleled military advisor, the Guigu disciple in front of him, who was touted as a god by the world, thought of him. So he respectfully said: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Shimin glanced at Xia Yu and said word by word: "The general who will destroy the country is the choice of the Martial Temple!"
Su Dingfang was shocked.
Such an evaluation is not high, but ridiculously high. Looking through ancient and modern history, how many people can be worthy of this honor!?
For a moment, the young man was extremely frightened and felt that he could not afford it.
"This, this, the guilty minister is frightened. Such a high comment is really unworthy."
"No, you deserve it." Xia Yu interrupted unceremoniously: "Don't doubt the vision of Guigu disciples, and don't doubt your own potential."
"Su Dingfang, you can do it." Xia Yu shouted this almost loudly.
Listening to Xia Yu's words that seemed to be inspiring, Su Dingfang's blood boiled for a moment and he almost swallowed. He just felt that the parents who gave birth to me are the military advisors who know me!
"The military advisor would like to accept you as his disciple, are you willing?" Li Shimin took the opportunity to throw out the bait.
Su Dingfang's lips were dry and he was almost knocked down by the huge surprise.
He was finally sure that Li Shimin and Xia Yu did not lie to him, but he still hesitated and remained silent for a while without answering.
"Did you know that there are no mediocre people in Guigu's family? There are so many people in this world who cannot ask for such a good thing. General Su, don't miss the opportunity."
Seeing that Su Dingfang was still hesitating, Li Shimin was so anxious that he wanted to open the kid's head to see if there was water in it.
Disciple Guigu, just this sign is worth the governor of a state!
What are you still hesitating about!?
Xia Yu glanced at Li Shimin, signaling him to calm down, and smiled and said to Su Dingfang, "General Su, do you think Xia is too young?"
Su Dingfang was born in 592 AD. It is now 620 AD, which means he is only 18 years old.
And Xia Yu is 22 years old, which is a bit young to be a teacher.
"No! No! No!" Upon hearing this, Su Dingfang waved his hands hurriedly: "Since ancient times, masters have been regarded as teachers, and military advisors have been regarded as geniuses in the world. They are unparalleled in the world. It is an honor for me to be my disciple. It's just -"
Seeing that Su Dingfang was hesitant again, Xia Yu had no choice but to take advantage of it: "But because of Chu's execution of Xia, Zheng and Zheng surrendered their ministers and captured them?"
Seeing that the words had been spoken, Su Dingfang said bravely: "Exactly, killing prisoners has been unlucky since ancient times. I have always heard that His Highness the King of Qin loves talents and treats others with benevolence and justice. Why is he so cruel today?"
Li Shimin's face froze: Good guy, this is why the military advisor is optimistic about you. Otherwise, if you dare to talk to Gu like this, you will not be punished.
What a fool!
Xia Yu was so angry that she thought about slapping her forehead: This guy's emotional intelligence is really bad. No wonder he wasted half his life in history and became a late bloomer.
"Why, is there a close friend of the general among them?" Xia Yu was not in a hurry to explain.
Su Dingfang nodded sadly: "Well, I have always respected Mr. Ling Jing and regarded him as a half-master. As for the others, I don't have a close relationship with him."
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin and Xia Yu were stunned. They looked at each other for a while and then burst into laughter.
Su Dingfang was stunned immediately, not knowing what was so funny about this.
Xia Yu suppressed her laughter and joked: "Then it's too early for you to be sad, because Ling Jing is not dead at all. Your Highness and I love his talent, so we keep him alive."
Su Dingfang was immediately delighted and Mo Ming asked, "Is this true?"
Li Shimin looked helplessly at this silly boy and said angrily: "Of course it is true. In addition to Ling Jing, Wei Zheng, Kong Desao and Zhang Xuansu were also pardoned."
Su Dingfang became even more surprised and couldn't help but said: "In that case, why doesn't His Highness pardon everyone?"
"Innocent!" Xia Yu's face darkened, and she immediately shouted: "If you were the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would you be willing to see all the surrendered ministers around you?"
"Then let me ask you, where are the counselors and soldiers who made great contributions to the Eastern Campaign?"
"Why should we reward them?"
Su Dingfang was stunned. If he had some understanding, he was still a bit dissatisfied and said: "Even if he is not used, we can still save his life and let him return home."
"Stupid!" Xia Yu shouted again: "If you let the tiger return to the mountain, is there any trouble in raising the tiger?"
"The world has been in chaos for many years, and these people's hearts have gone crazy. How many of them can keep their peace? Once there is another turmoil, do you think the people in the world are not suffering enough and dying enough?"
Su Dingfang fell silent.
He knew that Xia Yu was right. Since Datang had no place for these people and couldn't let them go, they had no choice but to ask them to die.
"General Su," Xia Yu warned, "if you stand in the wrong team, you will have to pay the price. In this life, you must always be willing to admit defeat. Not everyone has the opportunity to start over."
"Of course, God always favors truly talented people, such as Mr. Ling and you."
"Now, the opportunity is given to you, it depends on how you choose."
Xia Yu was very honest and sincere. If Su Dingfang was still young and stubborn and couldn't turn the corner, he would have to give up.
Of course, he will not kill Su Dingfang, but he will also let this kid be beaten by society for a few more years to experience what it means to have "empty ambitions, but no place for heroes"!
Su Dingfang is not really stupid, otherwise, he would not have become a famous general.
He is just experienced in the world and is not so sophisticated in human affairs. Of course he knows what an opportunity it is to be a surrendered minister and have King Li Shimin of Qin and Xia Yu to protect him.
"I would like to ask one more question," Su Dingfang raised his head and said bravely: "The King of Xia has been kind to someone, but I wonder how His Highness King Qin plans to punish him?"
Finally getting to the most critical issue, Xia Yu instantly glanced at Li Shimin.
The two cunning foxes immediately reached an agreement.
Li Shimin smiled slightly: "The King of Xia has a special status, and he has no right to be alone. Naturally, he wants to be deported to Chang'an and handed over to the father."
"However, King Xia is kind and generous, and Gu Yi has always admired him. He will definitely ask for mercy from his father and give him good treatment."
Li Shimin would definitely do it superficially, but he didn't know whether Li Yuan would listen or not.
Of course, Li Shimin would not say this, nor would Xia Yu. Although the two of them were suspected of deceiving a stupid boy, they were doing it for Su Dingfang's benefit.
Sure enough, when Su Dingfang heard this, he was very happy and immediately said: "If so, I would like to worship the military advisor as my teacher." Then he stood up and paid homage with the teacher's salute: "Disciple Su Dingfang, I have met my teacher."
"Okay, okay, no gifts." Xia Yu was very happy, having tricked a great man into becoming his disciple. Now, he could start a plan to develop a famous general, and he would also be able to become famous in the future.
"Your Highness," Xia Yu immediately entered teacher mode, looked at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Look, how will Dingfang arrange it?"
Li Shimin also laughed: "The military advisor must have a clue in his heart, so why bother asking an orphan?"
It saves trouble to talk to smart people. Xia Yu was happy and said: "As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not delay the cutting of vegetables. I want to keep Ding Fang with me for a few years and teach him carefully."
"In addition, Your Highness will give Ding Fang another official so that he can be closely influenced by the Military God of the Tang Dynasty and develop more skills."
"After a few years of this, it will be of great use, and then it can be released to the outside world to stand alone."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded. If it really is a jade, it would be worthy of being cultivated by the two of them. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I will grant you the position of deputy commander of Prince Qin's Palace in Dingfang. This position will be from the fifth rank."
"However, this official position is just to give Su Dingfang a background, so he doesn't have to come to the mansion every day to do his job."
"Military advisors can arrange their own daily training based on the situation."
"That's very good." Xia Yu was very satisfied and looked at Su Dingfang with a smile: "What do you think of this arrangement, Dingfang? Do you have any objections?"
Su Dingquan smiled slightly and twisted his mouth.
As a fallen general, he could be accepted as a disciple by the military advisor of the Tang Dynasty, and could also serve as the deputy captain of the King of Qin's personal guard. What could he be dissatisfied about?
This is a confidant among confidants, and he will surely become a great emperor in the future.
"Just follow the teacher's instructions." Su Dingfang nodded quickly.
