When Li Shimin heard the three words Fang Xuanling, he was silent for a while.

When Changsun Wuji saw Li Shimin's expression, he smiled and said, "Didn't Shimin hear his name?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I heard a little, but what Minister Gao praised?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Shimin is also a good memory. I think when Gao Xiaoji was known for his reputation, he said that when he saw Fang Xuanling, he would become a great man. There were not many people who could get such praise from Minister Gao in the Sui Dynasty. Du Ruhui was one, but now he has gone to Xiangyang. If Shimin did not capture Fang Xuanling, he might be worry-free at the moment, but in the long run, he was at the disadvantage of Xiao Buyi."

Li Shimin sighed softly, "Xiao Buyi is now showing his sharpness, no wonder Du Ruhui is attached to him."

As they spoke, the two had already walked into the tent. A middle-aged man slowly stood up with a smile. The man looked clear and his eyes were bright, which made people feel good at looking at him.

Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and bowed: "I heard that Mr. Fang is a talented man for a long time. Mr. Fang is here, and his glory is shining. The people are honored."

Fang Xuanling smiled kindly, "Wuji said that Dunhuang is very generous, humble and studious. When I saw him today, I was indeed well-known."

Changsun Wuji smiled, "Don't praise each other, this tent looks like it's going to float up."

The three of them sat down with a smile, and Li Shimin was not polite and asked directly: "I heard that Mr. Fang is a talented man for a long time. I don't know what I think about the general trend of the world?" Li Shimin was straightforward and asked, and there was some exquisite taste. Like his elder brother Li Jiancheng, he had gradually grown up in the war, less cynical and more commanding.

Of course, Li Yuan knew that he had brothers in war and father and son soldiers. He focused on training him and Li Jiancheng, and now he had achieved initial results.

Fang Xuanling was not surprised, but just smiled, "Dunhuang Gong asked him to show his ambitions."

Li Shimin was stunned, "I don't know what Mr. Fang said?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "If someone else asks you, you will ask what you think about the Battle of Xijing. Dunhuang Gong went straight to ask the world, obviously knowing that the Battle of Xijing is bound to win, and he already has the idea of ​​controlling the world."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling for a long time and sighed: "Mr. Fang is really talented."

"Would you like to ask about the general trend of the world?" Fang Xuanling disregarded Li Shimin's praise. "At present, in my opinion, the world should be three points in a few years. Who can win depends on whether it can seize the initiative."

"Which three points?" This time, Changsun Wuji couldn't help asking.

"There are three places in Guanlong, Jiangnan, Hebei and Shandong." Fang Xuanling said without hesitation.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, "Sir, these three places are the most frequent places of chaos, but I don't know which overlords of the three places are?"

Fang Xuanling pondered: "There are frequent disputes and many heroes. In the four barriers of Guanlong, the old families are mostly concentrated here. Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and Li Gui are all tough people, but most of these people have no ambitions and only seek to dominate one side. The benevolent and righteous act of the Duke of the Tang Kingdom does not limit the four battles of Taiyuan. He went south to plan to advance to the Central Plains in Guanzhong. Now the people are now surrender. If I see, the overlord of Guanzhong will belong to Duke Tang!"

A strange look flashed across Li Shimin's face, and he said happily in a flash: "Sir, he has a clear analysis. If my father knows, he will definitely be regarded as a guest of honor. I wonder which overlord of Jiangnan in Hebei? What is the point of seizing the initiative?"

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "There are many people fighting for hegemony in Hebei. Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, Meng Haigong, Luo Yi and others are all good. In addition, Shandong thieves participated in the high school. The battle was fierce but slightly inferior to Guanlong. However, Wang Bo and Meng Haigong also had no ambitions. It was difficult to seek development only to protect themselves. Luo Yi was very angry and ruthless, and was not broad-minded, and it was also rare to be supported by the people. Dou Jiande was widely used to be kind and righteous, and some time ago, he silently removed Xue Shixiong, and his strength was not to be seen. If Hebei and Shandong had a hegemony, it would be Dou Jiande."

When he said this, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and nodded slowly.

Fang Xuanling said again: "As for Jiangnan, there is no suspense. Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Lin Shihong, Zhang Shan'an and others are all bandits. They can only say that the heroes dominate one side. If you want to go far, it is impossible. The Chinese people in Jiangnan will not support one side as the main bandits. Du Fuwei and others are short-sighted, and they only want to plot around Jiangdu, and they want to separatist the king and resist the world by relying on the river, but they don't understand that today's general situation has reached the point where the rules will survive and the code will perish. Xiao Buyi's basis

In Jingxiang, there are gentry status, sweeping along the east of the Yangtze River and eliminating the thieves is only a matter of time. Now it is just a time when big fish eat small fish. When the world is divided, the old Guanlong clans, the Chinese people in Jiangnan, and the high-sects in Shandong each occupy one, it is the time to truly compete. However, Xiao Buyi took the lead and attacked the middle abdomen. Now he is in confrontation with Li Mi, and Wang Shichong is restrained. If it is certain in the east, Xiao Buyi will be very powerful. At that time, Guanlong, Shandong, Hebei and other places will be in his next plan."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Li Mixiong is talented and has a very talented and has occupied Luokou Cang. There are nearly one million people in Wagang now. Isn't the gentleman optimistic about him?"

Fang Xuanling said calmly: "Why should Dunhuang Duke ask questions with knowledge?"

Li Shimin laughed, "Shimin is stupid, please ask Mr. Fang for advice."

Fang Xuanling said: "We just said that the world is still the old sect, the Chinese and high sects, and the mud-legged bandits will not be the weather after all. Among the support of the old sect, Chinese and high sects, Li Mi did not occupy one of them, and now he is just struggling to support him. If the bandits in Wagang are just sparrows, how can they understand Li Mi's ambitions? After the war lasts, Xiao Buyi can only win the hearts of the people, but Li Mi gradually lost the hearts of the people. Xiao Buyi only needs to keep his troops still. When this decrease and increase, the victory and defeat have been decided."

Li Shimin sighed and stood up and bowed deeply, "Mr. Fang did not leave the house and guided the general trend of the world. Shimin admired the people. Thinking about Zhuge Wuhou's plan to settle the world before he came out of Longzhong, Mr. Fang also guided the country and made Shimin suddenly enlightened. But in Mr. Fang's view, if the world was divided into three parts, Guanlong, Hebei, and Jiangnan would take over the country?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "See who takes the lead."

"Where is the initiative?" Li Shimin asked anxiously.

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Xiao Buyi prevails the heavens, Duke Tang occupys the land, and Dou Jiande barely prevails the personal harmony. The geographical advantage is strong, and he will compete for hegemony over time. However, now Xiao Buyi is strong and has no one to resist. If he attacks someone with all his strength, even if his opponent is not destroyed, he will suffer heavy losses. At present, he is fighting with Li Mi and has no time to clone him. If I make a decision, Duke Tang takes the lead in alliance with Xiao Buyi and fights for time and make every effort to stabilize Guanzhong. Eliminate dissidents, and when Guanzhong is stable, he will join forces with Dou Jiande to unite the north of the Yellow River. At that time, he can join forces to compete with Xiao Buyi. If Xiao Buyi is eliminated, Dou Jiande is not afraid."

Changsun Wuji also sighed: "Ordinary people don't know what happened today, so Mr. Fang has already decided on a strategy for several years. This is a great talent that makes me look beyond my reach."

Li Shimin nodded, "What Mr. Fang said is exactly what I want, but... Dou Jiande does not look strong at the moment, but according to what Mr. Fang said, this person is actually the key piece to control the overall situation?"

"One of the initiatives should be to join forces with Dou Jiande first, and this person cannot be missed. If Dou Jiande and Xiao Buyi join forces and enter Shanxi from Jingxing Pass to take Taiyuan, the situation will be critical at both ends of our first rat." Fang Xuanzao said seriously.

Li Shimin also changed his face, because the famous pass to the east of Taiyuan was Jingxing Pass. Guanlong sent troops to attack Hebei in all dynasties, and they used this as a breakthrough point. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was the way to go. But the same was true in reverse. At that time, tens of thousands of troops from Lishanfei in Hebei threatened Taiyuan, and the land was Jingxing Pass. If the Yan and Zhao troops were allowed to break through Jingxing Pass, Xiao Buyi would advance to Tongguan again, Guanzhong would be really dangerous.

"Since there is one thing, there should be two. I wonder what else we should do besides joining forces with Dou Jiande?" Li Shimin asked cautiously this time. Although he was a little frivolous, he was not stupid at all. He thought to himself that Fang Xuanling had surrendered to the Li family army. If such a person was caught by Xiao Buyi, it would definitely be a great threat to Guanzhong.

"Duke Tang only joins forces with Dou Jiande to win and lose. The second opportunity lies in Bashu." Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "The area at the corner of Bashu, where the barbarians are. The people are simple but tough, and do not like constraints. Now it is a place that is rarely affected during the turmoil of the Sui Dynasty. If Duke Tang can take Guanzhong, I suggest Duke Duke Duke Duke and him suggest that he send troops from Guanzhong first, go out to Dasanguan to recover Bashu, and then prepare a navy in Bashu and follow the Yangtze River to attack Jingxiang. At that time, Xiao Buyi will be attacked from both sides, not Guanzhong. At that time, Xiao Buyi will be attacked several times, and if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to escape defeat."

Li Shimin said in a long sigh: "Sir, Mr. Shimin intends to invite Mr. Fang to join the army as the Record Office, and always wake up Shimin. I don't know what Mr. wants to do?"

Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed, "It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful!"

When Li Shimin sent Changsun Wuji out of the tent, he sighed: "Wuji, you are really my help. It is our blessing to join us like this."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Shimin, do you know why he didn't surrender to Lingzun or his brother's account?"

Li Shimin also asked strangely, "This place is indeed a bit strange. You must know that now my father has the power, and my elder brother has made far more contributions than me. It is indeed a bit strange that he came to join me."

Changsun Wuji said: "Actually, Mr. Fang's plan is good, but in his opinion, Ling Zun and Brother Ling are both unsteady and less aggressive, and it is difficult to compete with Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi is now full of talents, including Li Jing, Xu Shiji, and Pei Xingyan. Pei Xingyan is unbearable. Li Jing and Xu Shiji are both civil and military, brave and resourceful. Although Tang Gong is also full of talents, if you say outstanding, it is far from that. Xiao Buyi has Du Ruhui's literary talent, and Wei Zheng is even more dedicated to assisting him. Needless to say, Du Ruhui is a talent that will not allow Mr. Fang. Wei Zheng was an ordinary secretary of Yanshi, but was promoted by Xiao Buyi and actually managed the Jingxiang area in an orderly manner. It is because Xiao Buyi also has the ability to know people."

Li Shimin nodded, "If Xiao Buyi's subordinates are more capable than us."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "It would be good that Shimin knew this. If Lingzun land was mature and steadfast, he thought that he would be beaten to death by Xiao Buyi by relying on the dangers of Guanzhong! Xiao Buyi's route was not obvious at the beginning, but now it seems obvious to me. He should be based on Jingxiang, occupying the Dongdu, and then restraining Wagang, and then taking the Jianghuai. When Lingzun was working hard for Guanlong, he should try his best to clear all obstacles in Jiangnan and stabilize the East.

The capital is the land of Jingxiang, so as to be free of worries when the war begins against Guanlong! The two initiatives mentioned by Mr. Fang are the key to winning the situation. If Xiao Buyi snatched away from the two places, Xiao Buyi will form a siege against Guanlong! Guanlong's terrain is now an advantage, but if the siege is completed, Guanlong's land will become a shackle! He has been aligning with you, mostly because he knows that you and others understand these things. If someone else takes over Guanzhong, it will probably hinder his plan."

Li Shimin said in disgrace: "Why didn't Mr. Fang mention it just now?"

"Mr. Fang didn't say anything to you, not because he didn't expect it, but because he was afraid that you would think he was exaggerating or dispel your confidence." Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "He felt that in the Li family, only Shimin, you are smart and talented, and you can compete with Xiao Buyi in every way. Therefore, you will be voted under your tent. I have said everything clearly. I only ask Shimin to remember what he said today, and don't forget it!"

Li Shimin's face was solemn, "Wuji, I'm afraid that Uncle Changsun's opinion will be there?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and raised his thumbs up and said, "Shimin guesses well, but my uncle doesn't let me say it. Now I have conveyed everything. How to decide depends on how you convince Lingzun. I also want to rush to Sizhuyuan and Sister Ling to recruit soldiers and talk about it later."

Li Shimin nodded, looked at Changsun Wuji's back as he walked away, suddenly sighed lightly, and murmured: "Xiao Buyi... are you really impeccable?"

Changsun Wuji left Weibei and crossed the Wei River directly. After passing Xingping, he arrived at Sizhuyuan. The troops were famine and bandits were rampant. Changsun Wuji rushed to the road at night, but he was not afraid at all.

When I saw my uncle Changsun Shunde, dawn had already appeared in the sky.

A river flows north and south, with golden morning light shining on it, and it is called Heihe in the local area.

Since leaving Dongdu, Changsun Shunde and Li Caiyu traveled westward, passed Tongguan, passed Lantian, and settled near Heihe. With the ability of several people and land, they rose up and quickly pulled up a rebel army. Now there are thousands of people.

The Changsun family had a strong wealth, and under the money, the bandits led by them immediately posed a threat in the south of Xijing. Xijing had already sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy several times, but now the Sui Dynasty has gone to power. The bandit suppression has only become more and more.

Changsun Wuji rushed to the road overnight, but he didn't look tired at all. When he saw Changsun Shunde sitting in the tent, he seemed to have not been asleep all night.

Seeing Changsun Wuji accounted, Changsun Shunde didn't raise his head and asked softly, "Have you said it?"

"I said it." Changsun Wuji sat down and stretched. "Fang Xuanling is really a talented person. The situation he analyzed is actually similar to his uncle, but I don't understand it at all."

"Hmm?" Changsun Shunde raised his head, with deep fatigue in his eyes.

His fatigue is the fatigue in his bones. He seems to fall down at any time, but he has a spirit to support him. But even that spirit makes him look even more tired. After returning from Dongdu, his fatigue looks stronger and more lonely. He is undoubtedly a very lonely person!

He is so lonely, is he betrayed the woman who loves him deeply because he personally?

When Changsun Wuji saw his uncle's face, he felt a sudden blow in his heart, "Uncle, did you not sleep last night?"

Changsun Shunde looked out of the tent and whispered: "Are you the same? It's also hard for you to come back overnight."

"I'm still young and can stand it." Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, what I don't understand is that you actually have great talents, so why have you been hiding? You must know that your actions are related to the rise and fall of the Changsun family..."

"I came out of the mountain this time, but it was actually..." Changsun Shunde wanted to speak, "Wuji, the Changsun family has you and Heng'an, and revival is expected. There is no need for my uncle to do this. My uncle is tired and doesn't want to involve too many disputes, let alone do too many things. I hope you can forgive me."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly knelt down, "Uncle, Wuji speaks too much. Uncle's words are really a waste of killing Wuji."

Changsun Shunde reached out to help Changsun Wuji and sighed: "Actually, my uncle knows you. Because I have come from your age, I never forbid you to do what I want to do. But my uncle has experienced too much rise, decline, honor and disgrace. Being a guard or a high-ranking official is no different for me. I actually don't want to think too much, because you even... don't know... whether your brothers... will betray you tomorrow!"

After he said this, his eyes were tired and sad, and he suddenly covered his chest. Changsun Wuji was shocked and reached out to support his uncle, "Uncle, are you... okay?"

Changsun Shunde had sweat on his forehead and his face was pale. After a while, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, Wuji, go and see Caiyu and the others. Be careful when you go to Sizhuyuan."

Changsun Wuji didn't dare to say much, turned around and was about to leave the camp, and suddenly said, "Uncle, is that Ma Sanbao worthy of trust?"

Changsun Shunde closed his eyes and said indifferently: "Just just trust Caiyu."

Changsun Wuji shook his head, went out of the camp and sighed softly. Li Caiyu walked slowly with a man and asked softly, "Wuji, why do you sigh?"

Changsun Wuji said, "I see the rising sun. I feel that I am so happy that my youth is like water. I think of the past few days of mediocrity, so I sigh."

Li Caiyu smiled and said, "So that's it. If you do nothing, then no one will have any intention. By the way, Wuji. I'm going to Sizhuyuan today. I don't know what Uncle Changsun has to do?"

"Caiyu, do you want to go there in person?" Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Uncle is uncomfortable, he just told you to be careful."

Li Caiyu smiled and said, "It's okay. With the Three Treasures with me, you can win thousands of troops. What's more, I heard that He Panren is also a hero and heroic man. He is very loyal. We are going to reason, not to fight, so it should be okay."

Changsun Wuji's eyes fell behind Li Caiyu. There was a man standing alone. His face was as dark as charcoal, and he had a plaster on it. His face was a bit ugly, but the man looked very young. He knew that the man was called Ma Sanbao and was a bandit in Lantian. When they passed Tongguan, they encountered this group of bandits robbed. Ma Sanbao was still quite chivalrous and asked everyone to leave money. It was not a disaster. Li Caiyu saw it and wanted to win over him and compete with this person to make a bet. If Li Caiyu lost, he would leave everyone's money. ww

w.piaotian.com.com If Ma Sanbao loses, he will be a slave for Li Caiyu. Ma Sanbao is confident that his martial arts is not bad, so he bets with Li Caiyu. As a result, Ma Sanbao loses a move. Everyone thinks he will be slutty, but he doesn't expect that he doesn't cheat. He disbands the bandits and follows Li Caiyu's side. In Changsun Wuji's opinion, Ma Sanbao's martial arts are not bad, and may even be more intelligent than Li Caiyu. In Changsun Wuji's opinion, he did not lose a move, but fell under Li Caiyu's pomegranate skirt.

But after these observations of heaven and earth, Changsun Wuji had some doubts about his own judgment, because Ma Sanbao was well-behaved and had no deviant aspects about Li Caiyu. Since that is the case, why did he, a hero, follow Li Caiyu?

Although Changsun Wuji is not old, he has rich experience and careful observations. He always feels that Ma Sanbao is a bit strange, but he can't tell where the specific weirdness is. Therefore, he has always been suspicious and then asked his uncle, but his uncle's answer made him feel that he was too suspicious. He is versatile in civil and military affairs and is arrogant. But if there are people who admire him in this world, one is his father Changsun Sheng, and the other is his uncle Changsun Shunde.

Although Changsun Shunde was decadent and indulged in love with alcohol and sex, Changsun Wuji knew that his uncle was hurt by love and gave up on himself. In terms of talent and knowledge, he was a hundred times better than him. Since his uncle said that Ma Sanbao was fine, it should be fine. Changsun Wuji thought of this and looked away with his self-deprecatingly.

He Panren is a Hu man. He gathered in Si Zhuyuan as a thief and claimed to be the chief manager, but no one defected. Li Caiyu went to see He Panren this time, but he recruited this person for Li Yuan. Changsun Wuji knew about Li Caiyu and Ma Sanbao's martial arts and felt nothing was wrong.

After only a few steps, a person came from the sunset in the distance and saw Li Caiyu saying, "Caiyu..."

Li Caiyu originally had a smile, and she swept away the depression in Dongdu. But when she saw this man, her face was covered in frost, "Chai Shao, what are you doing?"

Chai Shao nodded and said, "Caiyu, I don't feel at ease with you."
