Zhang said that in the past, he was conceited and talented, but at this time, he suddenly felt that there was a huge intellectual gap between himself and Cui Geng.

He said weakly: "Your Majesty, you can make it clear, where is Cui Xiang going now?" ”

"Well, now it is estimated that Cui Aiqing has arrived at her destination, and the news cannot be hidden. Zong Aiqing, you say. ”

"Yes."

Then, Zong Chuke told the strategic intentions of the Tang Dynasty this time.

The world thinks that this time, in order to prevent the Turks from becoming one, the Tang Dynasty must save the Turks. However, Cui Geng raised a question: Why did he have to save Tuqishi? I weakened the Turks as a whole, wouldn't I be able to achieve the same effect?

In the end, he suggested to Li Xian: regardless of the life or death of the Turks, take advantage of the Turkic army and the internal emptiness to occupy the land of Monan and completely weaken the strength of the Turks.

Between the south of the desert and the north of the desert, separated by the Hanhai desert, and the water and grass of the south of the desert are abundant, far better than the north of the desert, is the fundamental place of the Turks.

At that time, it will not be Cui Geng's begging to withdraw from the Russian special service. It's Cui Geng who helps, which side can win. Whoever is disobedient will bring about his own destruction!

The offensive and defensive situation of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks has completely changed the situation!

As for this, is it a bit unsatisfactory to the special service with Russia? It depends on what you say.

First of all, this matter is a competition between the two countries, and personal feelings can only be put aside first. To put it bluntly, don't say that the Turkic side is the same as the Russian special service and the Que special service, even Cui Geng's own son, he has to do that. Similarly, if Cui Geng's son became a Turkic khan, it would be impossible for him to retire from the Turkic cavalry because of the love between father and son.

In addition, if the Russian special service had been able to fight the Que secret service, the winner would have been decided long ago, and there would be no need to wait until today? On the contrary, after Cui Geng occupied these places with abundant water and grass, he allowed the tribes of the Tongrussian special service to graze here, which could help the Tongrussian special service win and become a real Turkic khan.

In addition, it should be emphasized that Cui Geng had no intention of destroying the Turks. There will always be people living in such a large steppe, and there will be other steppe peoples without Turks, such as the Khitans, Xi people, Uighurs, etc., it is better to keep a special service with Russia that is easier to communicate.

After Zhang Shuo heard this, he was a little dumbfounded at the time, and said, "So, Cui Xiang has now arrived in the Hetao area?" ”

Zong Chuke said: "It should be." As long as the three surrendered cities are built, the Turks will no longer have a place to go south! ”

Then, he looked at Pei Dao with a smile: "Everyone Cui Xiang has attacked the nest of the Turks." Pei Yushi, you say that Cui Xiang is not loyal to the Tang Dynasty, isn't it very suitable? ”

Pei blushed, bowed, and said, "It's Pei who lives a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

Zhang said: "So I just said that Cui's loyalty to my Datang is beyond doubt." Pei Yushi, you were too nitpicky just now, I'm afraid I can't live up to the name of Lingzun's thunderbolt! ”

"You ......"

Pei was angry, and said in his heart, didn't you ask me to impeach Cui Geng? Although they are acting with each other, there is no need to squeeze me so much and involve my father, right?

However, the situation is stronger than people, and he has to say politely: "Yes, Pei has been taught." ”

Pei Yan died down, and it was said that this matter was over. However, at this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Building a surrendered city north of the Yellow River is quite beautiful, but I don't know if it will be realized as Cui Xiang and Zong Xiang wish." ”

People followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Prime Minister Tang Xiu.

When Wei Yuanzhong concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, although Tang Xiu was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he had no opinion, after all, Wei Yuanzhong was his old boss.

But now that Zong Chuke is the secretary of the military department, Tang Xiu looks extremely unpleasant, you Zong Chuke has never even been on the battlefield, how can He De lead the country's government soldiers? What's more, even when Wei Yuanzhong was in power, when he encountered military problems, he discussed them with the old man. It's good now, as soon as you discussed it with Cui Geng and Li Xian, you did it, and you didn't even ask me, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, is it tolerable or unbearable? !

Tang Xiu said: "Since the Han Dynasty, my Central Plains have used the Yellow River to block the Turks, and there has never been a matter of going north to build cities. I am afraid that after the three surrendered cities were built, they were captured by the Turks, and the special service with Russia was cheaper. Cui Xiang's move is really a bit tricky. ”

Li Xian was not very proficient in military affairs, so he looked at Zong Chuke with some concern, and said, "Zong Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Zong Chuke said: "Tang Xiang's words are wrong, just the so-called one time and that time. Since the Han Dynasty, the Turks were strong, and the Central Plains court was unable to build cities north of the Yellow River. Later, my Tang Dynasty captured Jieli Khan and destroyed the Turks, of course, there was no need to build a city. When the post-Turkic state was founded, the rise was too fast, and I didn't have time to build a city in the Tang Dynasty. Now it is rare for the Turks to invade the west with all their might, and the army is empty, which is really the best time to build a city. ”

Tang Xiu said disapprenously: "Oh? In this way, for hundreds of years, only now is suitable for building a city north of the Yellow River. When the prime minister said this, do you believe it yourself? ”

Zong Chuke said firmly: "The true appearance is convinced!" ”

"Hmph, the old man will wait and see. If Cui Xiang is in vain, I see what kind of face you have, sitting in the position of the secretary of the military department, I am afraid that Cui Xiang will not be ridiculed by the world! ”

"What if Cui Xiang really built three surrendered cities and defended them?"

"That'...... That is, the old man is old, his vision is not good, and he is no longer worthy of being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zong Chuke clapped his hands violently and said, "Okay, let's make a decision." If Cui Xiang can't build or can't hold the three surrendered cities, he will resign and not do it. Otherwise, you Tang Xiang will resign and not do it. ”

"Okay, let's make a decision!"

……

Whether Cui Geng could successfully build the city was implicated in the two prime ministers, and the news suddenly spread throughout Chang'an City like wings.

There are those who support Cui Geng, who think that Cui Geng's move, even if he cannot successfully build the city, can also play the role of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", forcing the Turks to come back and save the Turks.

supports Tang Xiu, believing that Tang Xiu is a real soldier on the battlefield, and his military ability is beyond doubt. As for Cui Geng and Zong Chuke, I'm afraid it's just Zhao Kuo on paper.

There are also people who protect neutrality, thinking that this is a compromise plan chosen by Cui Geng who is unwilling to beg for special services with Russia, as for the effect, we can only wait and see.

Inside the palace of Linzi Wang.

Li Longji frowned, and said to his henchmen: "Do you think Cui Geng can really succeed in building a city here?" ”

“……”

It's okay for these people to play some intrigues and tricks, and they can handle politics, but if you want to say that you understand military affairs, there really isn't a single one. Everyone stared at each other and didn't speak.

In the end, Wang Ju's brain turned relatively quickly, and said: "The key is not whether Cui Geng can build a surrendered city, but whether we want him to build a surrendered city." ”

Li Longji said: "Of course this king doesn't want him to get his wish. Although it is said that Zong Chuke and Tang Xiu are making a bet, if Zong Chuke is forced to go to the phase, will Cui Geng, the initiator, still have the face to continue to serve as the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty?

Jiang Jiao said: "But the problem is that we don't have much strength in the border army, even if we want to make him stumble, we can't use our strength." ”

"That's not the case." Wang Ju smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we don't have much strength in the border army. However, to stop Cui Geng from building the city, it may not necessarily require the help of the border army. ”

"What do you mean......"

"No matter how great Cui Geng's ability is, he has to live to show it, right? He built a city north of the Yellow River, thousands of miles away, and he couldn't always have heavy troops to protect him, right? As long as you see the right time to do his vote, your confidant will be solved. And this case can be pushed to the Turks, and it has nothing to do with you, the prince. ”

Li Longji pondered for a long time and said, "Under this king's hands, there are some people who do secret errands. With mental arithmetic or unintentional, it is indeed possible to succeed. But who is in charge of this? ”

Wang Ju rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think of Su Guan?" ”
