Wang Shichong smiled slightly and shook his head: "Li Mi, I didn't help Dou Jiande much, he was prepared for a long time, and he played a beautiful defensive counterattack cleanly, you should also know that Dou Jiande's ability is above Wang Xuba, even if you secretly help, you can't eliminate him." ”

Li Mi sighed: "My principle of life is that a powerful character that can't be eliminated with one shot, then find a way to be friends, at least it's okay, so later I tried my best to promote the reconciliation between Wang Xuba and Dou Jiande, otherwise do you think that with Xu Gai, a new nouveau riche, you can also let these two parties sit down and talk?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "For Wang Suba, maybe your trick can still work, but Dou Jiande, he has a rough appearance, but he is extremely shrewd, how can he be played with by you?" Even I can't control Dou Jiande, I can only rely on sending money and goods to support him, show favor to him, and you can make him bow down and obey his orders? ”

Li Mi smiled slightly: "Of course not, but Dou Jiande needs a lot of money to get into trouble, the more the better, as long as he doesn't offend you, or attract the attention of the government, one more friend is naturally better than one more enemy, after meeting you, he took advantage of the situation in the troubled times, fighting for the heart of the world, and the old grudge with Wang Xuba, he will retreat to the second, if he really let him dominate Hebei, sooner or later he will settle accounts with Wang Xuba, he will not understand this truth, so he accepted my money, of course, And my conditions. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "I didn't expect Dou Jiandeken to go to Xu Gai to negotiate, but there was your shadow behind him, but he didn't betray me directly that time." At most, your money will buy him a face. To say that Dou Jiande fell to you. This cowhide is blown a bit big. ”

Li Mi smiled and shook his head: "But now Dou Jiande has been forced to rebel, and Wang Xuba has always been a thief who wanders in the northern part of Youzhou and the territory of the Turks, these two chaotic times are reckless, you can't really subdue them, and now they listen to me more, because I can control many county governors and generals in Hebei, so that they don't work hard, don't fight these two guys." As soon as the officers and soldiers are dispatched, I can provide them with information on the march, at least so that they can avoid this catastrophe, believe it or not? ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "Maybe the state and county soldiers and those local Ying Yanglang will listen to you and be influenced by you, a noble son of the family, but if I use Zhang Xutuo to deal with Xu Gai, arrange a loyal general of the Sixteenth Guard who can fight and bring his troops and horses over, will you still be able to use this trick?" ”

Li Miha laughed: "If you do this, you will completely turn your face with Dou Jiande and Wang Xuba." The first thing they will do is to report the private transactions with you for so many years to Yang Guang, even if you have a lotus tongue. It also inevitably attracted Yang Guang's attention, the best result is that you personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion, if you lose, you will destroy the whole family, and if you win, you will also extinguish the fire that you have laid out for many years, no matter which result, it will not be good for you, Wang Shichong, a smart person like you, will you take this road? ”

Wang Shichong swallowed his saliva, and his tone softened slightly: "Of course I don't want to destroy them, but I will continue to fund them, what you can give, I can also give, or even more, they will not fall to you." ”

Li Mi sighed: "Okay, Wang Shichong, you and I don't have to continue to fight like this, the benefits of the tongue can't fight for a reason, whether it's Dou Jiande or Wang Xuba, these two people are real reckless heroes, they won't be controlled and manipulated by others, what you and I can do with the resources at hand is nothing more than to fund them and let them develop and grow, and now they have pulled the flag and rebelled, and it is not something we can control, but the land of Hebei has suffered from the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty for a long time, this is the natural soil for them, Their development and growth are already unstoppable, and they are not under your Wang Shichong's control, right? ”

Wang Shichong snorted coldly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Li Mi smiled and took out the fourth letter in his hand and handed it to Wang Shichong: "You can take a look at this again." ”

Wang Shichong only glanced at the letter, and his face changed slightly, because he clearly saw the word Xue Ju, and his brows furrowed: "How did Xue Ju hook up with you?" ”

Li Mi smiled slightly, took back the letter, and said: "You and Yang Xuangan once met in Xue Ju's mansion, he has always been very attentive to this old ally of yours, the land of Jincheng is located in Longyou, to the west can take the four counties of Hexi, open up the connection with the Western Turks, to the south you can contact Tuyuhun, and even Tubo in the south, and to the east, you can directly break through the Dasan Pass and enter Guanzhong, this place is too important, no wonder you have been operating here for more than ten years, and you have made friends with Xue Ju early." It's just that if you can be friends with Xue Ju, so can we. ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "You want to say that others are okay, but Xue Ju, hehe, he will never fall to you." ”

The corners of Li Mi's mouth hooked: "Maybe you still underestimate the complexity of human nature, in the past, the Sui Dynasty set the capital of Guanzhong, and the troops in the Longyou area were strong, Xue Ju didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only honestly be his Jincheng car general, but now Yang Guang moved the capital to Luoyang, and even the status of Daxing City has plummeted, not to mention Jincheng as a fortress of Longyou, after Tuyuhun was conquered, there was a large withdrawal of government soldiers here, and Xue Ju's Eagle Yang Lang General was not mixed, but directly demoted to a captain, although he is still a tyrant in Jincheng, But the legal establishment is much smaller, and the more than 5,000 subordinates who followed him before have no legal salary from the imperial court, so how can they make a living? ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "Xue Ju told me about this a long time ago, I have increased my investment in them, and I have also taken 20% more from my business in the Western Regions to them, which is enough to feed their people." ”

Li Mi laughed: "Wang Shichong, this is the root of Xue Ju's dissatisfaction with you, what do you think of him?" Do you want Hanako? This kind of hero, who is like a tiger and wolf, can be loyal by you giving away some leftovers? He is not your subordinate Zhang Jincheng, Shan Xiongxin, his wife and children are in your hands, and he can only listen to you. Besides, after your good friend Luo Khan of the Western Turks was finished, the business in the Western Regions was also greatly affected, and eight out of ten shops were closed, even if you gave all the profits to Xue Ju, it was not as much money as before, and the tiger had no meat to eat, would it still be safe? ”

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth: "So you took advantage of the situation to dig into my wall and join forces with Xue Ju?" (To be continued.) )
