Chapter 667: Prosperous Tang Dynasty (36)
Xu Le naturally would not refuse Yu Chenguang's invitation. The two of them rode their feet and went out of the city. Chen Guang didn't say where he was going, and Xu Le refused to ask. It was not until he left the Jiangdu gate that Chen Guang asked, "Do you know where I want to take you?"
"If Brother Chen is willing to speak, I naturally don't have to ask. If he is unwilling to speak, he shouldn't have to ask. Since that's the case, there is naturally no need to ask. You and I will fall in love with you at first sight. I believe that Brother Chen is a hero, and I will go wherever you go, so why bother asking questions?"
"What a happy man, this is a great man. Only a good man like you can make the saint favor so much."
Xu Le never spoke, just pretending not to hear it. He believed that Chen Guang was a heroic character and would not stand up as a lobbyist. What's more, everyone was a soulmate, so he could naturally guess his thoughts. Even if Yang Guang passed the order, Chen Guang would not do such a waste of effort.
Chen Guang did not wait for Xu Le to answer, but said to Xu Le while putting his horse forward: "Mr. Le must have been bored in the past few days. If you don't come out and walk, you will be depressed. You and I are similar in temperament, and they are both unrestrained. These days of mellow wine and delicious food are sometimes good, but if they are like this, they will be bored in their hearts. However, the saint has an order, and I can't help but understand. I hope Mr. Le will be more considerate. This time, I invite my brother out to relax and to say a few words in my heart. After all, some words are inconvenient to say at home, and some words are not found, and only when I can speak in this place is no one to speak."
"Brother Chen has something to say."
"Le Langjun's eyes are like lightning, and the truth in the city cannot hide your eyes. In your opinion, what is the situation of the saint now?"
Xu Le was stunned. After all, the warriors were still warriors. No matter how outstanding the military generals were, they could not replace important officials in the temple. Even heroes like the Grandpa had told him that they should not really look down on civil officials just because they were extremely brave, and it would be even more foolish to regard civil officials as their opponents. And if they did not mention that generals became prime ministers, many of the civil officials were originally military officials. Just say that they had talents and skills, civil officials were by no means useless people.
You can conquer the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately. The troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties were indeed ended by the power of warriors. It was the martial artist who fought with bloody swords and guns that made the world look like the world. These words were not false and not obliterated. However, if there were no civil ministers and Muslims who helped the emperor handle the government affairs, the so-called peace would not last long, and the whole world would become the hell of the world when the Five Barbarians invaded China.
He specializes in his skills and careers. Military people serve the country with their martial arts and life, helping the emperor to pacify the four directions. Civil officials plan and govern and ensure peace in the world. The emperor can sit on the dragon throne and the people can get their place. This is a great world. Civil and military personnel have their own responsibilities, and no one can look down on anyone, nor can they replace the other party's position.
Military men are like swords, and they have to be commanded by their arms. Civil officials are responsible for giving advice to the emperor, so that their arms can better control swords and ensure that the weapons are used normally. Therefore, the emperor's situation and how to act next cannot be solved by military personnel, or even by military personnel. These are things that prime ministers need to consider. In other words, the duties of civil officials are a bit of taboos when military officials intervene. Chen Guang is Yang Guang's confidant, and he will not be confused about the importance of this, and he should know that this question should never be asked himself. Does he trust himself absolutely? Or is there any other reason behind this?
Xu Le looked at Chen Guang and a sneer appeared in his heart: No matter what you plan, I just tell what I think in my heart, and other things have nothing to do with me. This is my Xu Le's straight way!
"The Xiaoguo Army is extremely tough, and the armored rod is the best in the world. With such a strong army, the Supreme Emperor should be as stable as Mount Tai. If Brother Chen hears these words, he is afraid that he will be suspicious of you and thinks that you have some evil intentions. However, since you and I are confidants, I don't want to hide them from you. In a certain opinion, Jiangdu City is as dangerous as it is. If the Supreme Emperor still keeps drinking and drinking every day, he will not ask about the government affairs, but it will be a big disaster in the future."
Chen Guang looked at Xu Le not making a sound, waiting for his next sentence. Xu Le did not keep it a secret and continued: "Although Jiangdu is a must-fight for the north and south, it is convenient for water transportation, but today there are wars everywhere, and heroes from all over the north and south of the Yangtze River rise up. War invaded the roads and it is difficult to transfer renters. Even if the land of Jianghuai is known as the land of fish and rice, it is not enough to support such a large army. The land of Jiangdu is small, and the food and grass accumulated is limited. Once the food and fodder is cut off, even if the armor of Xiaoguo Army In the world, it is inevitable that the end of defeat will end. Brother Chen must be very clear about this. Now that the wine brewing in Jiangdu City is getting less and less, meat is even more difficult to get. Even people like Liulang can only let go of their stomachs and eat and drink freely when they drink with us. Even the son of the dignified Duke Rong Guo is like this, so it is natural to say what life will other generals live. Before, Brother Chen was worried that there would be no one in the Xiaoguo Army to rebel and mutiny. Now this concern must have increased."
“What else?”
"Love missed homesick. The most children of Guanzhong were in the Xiaoguo army. Even if the Supreme Emperor rewarded them with wealth and women to help them settle down, it was hard to resist the homesickness. Those generals who inquired about the situation in Guanzhong from me would dream of returning home. No matter whether they were rich or beautiful wives, they were not enough to comfort their hearts. No matter how sharp the sword was, someone would have to control it to hurt people. If this continues, the old story of the enemies around them will be repeated. The Xiaoguo army scattered the sword and broke it before the battle, and even the Jiangdu City might not be able to be safe."
Chen Guang nodded: "In the opinion of Mr. Le, what should the saints do to resolve this disaster?"
"Of course, according to the proposal of my lord, we reached a peace agreement with Chang'an. The Xiaoguo Army is a powerful soldier in the world, just like blowing a sharp blade. What we most hope is to drink the enemy's flesh and blood and fight quickly so that they can clear the evil spirits in their hearts. When this breath dissipates, and then slowly enforce it with the Ministry of War, this team of troops can obey the orders like arms and fingers. If they still let them go, this elite soldier will become a group of bandits in no time. No matter how the generals can fight, they will be useless and useless people when they go to the battlefield!"
"I can't understand this. How can the Xiaoguo Army fight with Duke Tang?"
"Why should Brother Chen ask clearly? The smoke of war is not only in the north, but also in the south. Now Du Fuwei is entrenched in Liuhe, Zuo Cai travels to Huaibei, and Li Zitong occupies Hailing. The three troops and horses totaled no less than 100,000. Even if Duke Rong personally led his troops to the battlefield, he might not be able to achieve full success. He used the elite troops of the Killing Fruit to fight the rioters and thieves to win in one go. The reason why he was unable to fight for a long time was that he was unable to exert all his strength. Now that the troops and horses of Jiangdu have to defend the north and want to win in the south, they will inevitably fail at both ends. Only by reaching a peace agreement with my lord and gathering the strength of the entire army to compete in the southeast can there be a glimmer of vitality."
Chen Guang did not judge Xu Le's statement, but asked, "Mr. Le Langjun is a beloved general under the Duke of Tang. He should give advice to his lord. Why should he work for the saint? Are you not afraid that the Xiaoguo army will sacrifice his life to go north and fight back home, and the saint will personally attack the Duke of Tang?"
"If the Supreme Emperor is like this, my Xuan Armor Cavalry is willing to be the vanguard and decide the victory and defeat with the Xiaoguo Army!" Xu Le's tone suddenly became serious: "As a warrior, I wanted to meet the heroes of the world. If the Supreme Emperor had such a good mood, I would be reluctant to do so!"
Chen Guang did not continue to ask questions, but flew off the horse and bowed to the woods on the roadside and shouted: "I Chen Guang submitted the order!" Then a familiar voice came from the woods: "Chen Qing did a good job, really deserved to be my arm, and even a good man in the Han family! You and Xu Le are both examples of martial artists. If the skills, mind, and even knowledge of military generals in the world are like you, the world will not be like this today. Xu Le's words are in line with my wishes. At worst, what does it matter if a fight lasts for a long time? As a warrior, he should have achieved fame immediately. If he just wants to live a peaceful life like an ordinary person, what's the point of being a husband?"
While speaking, eight soldiers with straight swords wrapped around their brocade robes and straight knives walked out of the woods. Amid the eight people, there were two men and women. The man was Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and the woman was able to be accepted by the little wolf girl. She was a harmonious woman, the unknown princess of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang was absurd, liked to be extravagant and extravagant, and acted recklessly. He only sought his own pleasure, and did not take other people's feelings and the rules of the temple seriously. After defeating Liaodong and rushing south, Yang Guang became more and more arbitrary. On the one hand, he was moody and arbitrary to kill ministers, while on the other hand, he was lazy in the government affairs. Often, he did not meet ministers for ten days and half a month, and did not deal with reports from various places, which led to the government affairs being non-governmental. At this point, the world was inseparable from Yang Guang's absurd behavior.
He lived in Jiangdu Palace, or in a mysterious building, and enjoyed himself with mellow wine and beauties. Even the confidant of the important ministers in the court was unable to see him. Who would have thought that he would appear outside Jiangdu City in a nameless wasteland. The entourages around him were nothing but Shen Guang and eight samurai in brocade clothes.
At this point, Xu Le suddenly realized that Chen Guang's so-called invitation to travel was just to do things for Yang Guang. Even the questions he asked just now were also inspired by Yang Guang. This is no wonder Chen Guang's temperament changed drastically and he actually asked these questions that he shouldn't ask. But he didn't know why Yang Guang called him here and why were he asking these questions?
Looking around, there was no one around. Without asking, it was obvious that Yang Guang had made arrangements before, so that Xiaoguo Army would not come here to ensure that this meeting was not disturbed. But in this way, there were only these guards around him, and there were no more troops to guard him. Wouldn't he be afraid that he would start a sudden attack and take his life?
