Chapter 440 Identifying Potential

"The Sui lost its deer, and the heroes of the world chased it together."

Changsun Wuji cleared his throat and said, "But in my opinion, none of the so-called heroes who rebelled today can be called heroes. The Zhishilang Wang Bo of Jibei County who raised the flag in the first rebellion had high aspirations and courage. Insufficient in strength, ambitious but without the means to display their ambitions, relying on being the first to raise troops so they still retain a bit of fame on the Green Forest Road, in fact, the Jinbei Army has already existed in name only."

"Hebei Dou Jiande seems to be benevolent and generous, but in fact his narrow-mindedness is just pretending to be tolerant to cover up. Every time someone makes a mistake, he is tolerant and indulgent to show his generosity. Although he can win some people's hearts in a short period of time, in the long run, his subordinates must If you are contemptuous, sooner or later it will become a disaster. How can the Lord show grace without prestige for a long time?"

"Xu Yuanlang, Du Fuwei and his ilk are just showing off their bravery for a while, and they are useless. Now they seem to be strong and strong, but in fact, their soldiers' combat power is only third-rate. Although they have won many times, the victors are those with average combat power. The army and the people of the county are brave, and they still win with a large number, so they are not heroes."

Changsun Wuji talked eloquently, his voice clear and confident.

"Let's talk about Wagangzhai in Dongjun. Zhai Rang is known as the first-class hero in the world. He created Wagangzhai, occupied Dongjun, and invited Li Mi to be a military adviser. He is actually just an idiot. Two tigers cannot fit in one mountain. Li Mi is actually inferior? Sooner or later there will be civil strife in Wagang Village, no matter Zhai Rang kills Li Mi or Li Mi kills Zhai Rang, many generals in Wagang Village will feel chilled."

"So, in my opinion, these people are not heroes."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "The general is different..."

Li Xian just looked at him with a smile, his face was calm, and he didn't interrupt him, although in his opinion, what Changsun Wuji said now was nonsense.Generally, lobbyists have to find an entry point to clarify their purpose, attract people to ask questions, and then lead the questioners into the routine they have designed step by step.Since Li Xian already knew why Changsun Wuji came here, how could he be taken away by his words.

"you are wrong."

Li Xian waved his hands and said with a smile: "At this time, you should praise Duke Tang first."

"is it?"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "It's true, sorry, how about I start from the beginning?"

Li Xianbai glanced at him and said: "You have already started from the beginning for the third time, can you concentrate? Isn't it too ineffective for a lobbyist like you?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "The general wants to say, Mr. Tang sent me, did he send the wrong person?"

Li Xian said: "I just found that you don't seem to be in a hurry."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "I walked from Taiyuan, Hedong all the way to Juyeze for three months. General, do you think I am in a hurry? If I go back too soon, Tang Gong will say that I am doing things. It’s not a good thing if you don’t pay attention.”

"Are you in no hurry?"

Li Xian suddenly laughed: "You are not in a hurry, aren't you afraid that you will be too late to catch up with your Tang Gong?"

"Not afraid"

Changsun Wuji said firmly: "If I don't go back, how could Mr. Tang make trouble?"

"You are frank, and you don't mention Mr. Tang's cover-up at all."

"Because there is no need to hide anything. Even if I say some good things that are hypnotized now, it will be exposed one day in the future, and I will be ridiculed by the general at that time. I might as well just be happy. Maybe the general and I will have a lot of time to spend together in the future , Am I going to be made fun of by the general every day?"

"You are confident."

Li Xian smiled and asked: "You have been talking nonsense for a long time, but you have not said anything of practical value. Am I an ugly girl who is worried that she will not be able to get married? You are a matchmaker, just say a few nonsense, and I will shoot you." Slap your ass and go with you, and bring countless dowry wealth?"

"Potential!"

Changsun Wuji said indifferently: "Just because of a word of potential, can the general not understand it?"

He stood up and said while pacing: "Since history, there seems to be only one Han Gaozu who was born in a poor family among the people who rebelled in all dynasties. Other than that, they all came from famous families. Even Liu Bang, if there is no Lu It is difficult to achieve great things with the help of the family, the Lu family is a famous family, so Han Gaozu also relied on the power of the family to win the world."

What he said was far-fetched, but it was not unreasonable.

"Why did Dou Jiande, Zhai Rang, Du Fuwei, Xu Yuanlang and his ilk proclaim themselves a name early on? What Changle King, Xiaoyao Gong, isn't it because they all came from poor families? Without the support of the family, they will be eliminated sooner or later. Excuse me Let me say it bluntly, even if you are as brave and mighty as a general, if you don't rely on your family, I'm afraid you won't be able to go any further."

"Nowadays, in the world of the Great Sui Dynasty, with a big family, who can be as glorious as Duke Tang?"

"The Yuwen family, the Pei family, the Yu family, the Cui family, these aristocratic families are already in decline, and there are no more waves. I said before that there are no heroes in the green forest, because if we talk about heroes in the world, Tang Gong is definitely the leader. So in my eyes, there is no hero other than Duke Tang."

"So, Duke Tang is the power, Duke Tang values ​​the general, and the general attaches himself to Duke Tang, this is taking advantage of the situation."

Li Xian smiled and said: "You mean, if I don't rely on the family, I will die sooner or later?"

"Even if it doesn't perish, it will stop at the three counties. In the future, the world's aristocratic families will turn against each other. Even the generals of these three counties will not be able to keep them. The people of the aristocratic families, if they ascend to the top, they will come in. Does the general not know about Li Mi? Wagang Village The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the soldiers are far away from Luoyang, the eastern capital. Li Mi has hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of heroes. This is all thanks to Li Mi's power. Li Mi's family has a prominent position. It is because of his name as Pu Shangong that all the rebels on the Green Forest Road will flock to join him."

"No matter how bad it is, I still have Juye Ze in my hand."

Li Xian smiled and said: "I live in Juyeze, and I am leisurely and contented as a leisurely person. If I follow Tang Gong, I will be a minister. As a minister, can I still be as carefree and happy as I am now?"

"Not to be free, but to be honored in the end."

"Don't use things like glory as an excuse to persuade me. I'm not very interested in glory. In my opinion, the so-called glory is not as good as a piece of meat pie, not as good as a piece of meat."

"Whatever the general wants, Mr. Tang will definitely give it to you if something important happens."

"Be more realistic."

Li Xian said with a smile.

"king!"

Changsun Wuji said: "Duke Tang said that if the general is willing to lead the army to join him, the Duke of Tang will become the emperor in the future, and the general will be crowned king and general just like the Li family's children, and the land will be sealed off."

"The king is worthless."

Li Xiandao: "Do you think that if I think about it, even if I become the king now, will anyone dare to object? As for the fiefdom, even if Duke Tang becomes the emperor, how much land can he give me? Compared with the three counties of Dongping County, Qi County, and Lu County Are the counties even bigger? If there are no three counties, why should I be the king of his Longyou Li family!"

"The general should be aware of the current affairs, not attached to the family, sooner or later there will be a day of defeat."

"What if I don't believe it?"

……

……

Changsun Wuji returned to the room a little annoyed and depressed, sat down on the chair, took a few sips of the herbal tea on the table, and then let out a long sigh of relief.The weather was already cold, but after taking a few sips of herbal tea, his heart cooled down a lot, and the feeling of oppression in his heart eased a little. He smiled, looked at his eldest grandson Wugou who was sitting not far away, and said, "This is Li Xian. He is actually a man with great ambition. I thought he could see through the situation. In this world, how can the poor family easily win it? Unexpectedly, he also fell into the dream of fighting for the top. This is true Makes me feel a little ridiculous.”

"Oh?"

The eldest grandson Wugou put down the book in his hand, smiled and asked, "Why, even my brother's eloquence can't make sense of Li Xian?"

"Sounds right?"

Changsun Wuji said: "I'm almost being convinced by him."

He recounted the conversation he had with Li Xian today, and his eldest grandson Wugou listened attentively.After Changsun Wuji finished explaining the matter in detail, she pondered for a while and shook her head with a smile: "Brother has fallen behind."

"How to say?"

Changsun Wuji asked in surprise.

"Li Xian asked brother why he wasn't in a hurry, but he knew you were in a hurry."

Changsun Wugou stood up, exchanged a cup of new tea for Changsun Wuji, and said, "We have been away from Taiyuan in the east of the river for three months. According to our expected return date, we will return to Taiyuan after the first lunar month. Mr. Tang also wants to return to Taiyuan." I heard my brother explain the news in detail, so that I can judge whether to send troops and how to send troops. Although Li Xian didn't know the details, he concluded that we would definitely not stay for long. From this point of view, my brother's persuasion is ineffective I took a lower ride because my brother was in a hurry."

"In a hurry?"

Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I'm really impatient, we can't stay for long, but he has a lot of time to waste with us. Maybe he hides again in a few days, and we can only return without success. Once, Mr. Tang Don't say anything, it's still the same twice, Tang Gong will inevitably look down on me in his heart."

"So, my brother was eager to promise him benefits, but he didn't care at all. What's more, he didn't look down on what my brother promised him. Now he occupies the land of three counties, has a hundred thousand soldiers under his command, and controls several Millions of people live and die, soldiers are fine and food is sufficient, there is no need to be afraid of anyone. What my brother promised him in a hurry, but he couldn't impress him, isn't it for nothing?"

"only……"

The eldest grandson Wugou's eyes suddenly lit up: "What if I don't believe it? This sentence is a bit masculine. I thought he was just a rascal who accidentally gained power. After hearing this sentence, I changed my previous self." view."

"Duke Tang didn't promise me any rights. How can I make my own decisions and promise Li Xian any benefits?"

Changsun Wuji said angrily.
