The First Saint of Alchemy
Chapter 365: Winning over the military strategists
Tang Yan's evidence was conclusive, and Xu Chuan knew that there was nothing he could do to save his life, so he sighed: "Master Tang, Xu has been dissatisfied with everyone else in his life except Prime Minister Zuo.
I obey the left prime minister because he is courteous and virtuous, brave and resourceful, and has high aspirations!
But compared with Mr. Tang, Zuo Xiang's methods and scheming are slightly inferior. If the left prime minister has the talents of the Tang Dynasty masters, he can achieve his great ambition and hegemony.
Xu confessed, but begged Mr. Tang to let me, the Xu family member, live. "
Seeing that Xu Chuan was already determined to die, Tang Yan's eyes flashed with light, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that my previous judgment was correct...
Then he said: "It's not impossible to keep your family alive. I just have some questions, and I hope General Xu can answer me truthfully!"
"Master Tang, please speak. Xu must tell you everything he knows."
"General Xu wants to take refuge with the Left Prime Minister. I'm afraid the reason is not the Left Prime Minister's courtesy to the virtuous corporal? Isn't the current prince not polite to the virtuous corporal?" Tang Yan asked.
"this……"
"The three major military strategists in Tingxiang are the Kong family, the Xu family, and the Chu family. Among them, the Kong family is the best in Tingxiang. It is considered by Tingxiang and even the five border countries to be the number one general in Tingxiang.
You have been suppressed by the Kong family army and have no chance of getting ahead. You are dissatisfied. This is one of them. "
"General Xu has loved war all his life, and I have long heard that General Xu's long-cherished wish is to open up new territories for hearing aids. However, despite his passion to serve the country, he has not been reused in recent years. He has been unable to go to the frontiers, but he has to Staying in the imperial city to protect the royal family and prevent the left prime minister from rebelling is too cowardly, that’s the second reason!”
"The third is the benefit that Prime Minister Zuo promised you. Nothing else. The above two points will help you realize it. When Prime Minister Zuo overthrows the royal family, he will appoint you as the first general in Tingxiang, with millions of soldiers under his command. You will fight on the battlefield. Call upon the heroes to fulfill their long-cherished wish.”
"General Xu, I wonder if these three points mentioned by Tang are biased?" Tang Yan asked calmly.
At this moment, Xu Chuan's heart was already filled with turmoil. What Tang Yan said was actually accurate! He also admired Tang Yan more and more in his heart and said, "Master Tang knows things like a god. These three points are exactly what Xu wants."
"General Xu, have you ever thought about how the whole Tingxiang will develop if I am no longer in the royal family?" Tang Yan asked.
"The left prime minister replaces the royal family."
"Then do you know why the left prime minister has been reluctant to take action?" Tang Yan asked.
"The power of the royal family cannot be underestimated. The left prime minister may not be ready yet." Xu Chuan guessed.
"In the imperial city, the Xu family has 200,000 troops, the Chu family has 180,000 troops, and even Zuo Xiangfu has 50,000 troops. But the royal family only has 300,000 troops.
The disparity is huge, and the left prime minister is obviously better.
But the left prime minister did not dare to act rashly. If he dared to make any blatant changes, the only consequence would be that the royal family would put down the left prime minister at all costs.
At that time, General Kong will lead one million elite troops back to the imperial city and crush all the rebellious families in one fell swoop.
Even if the Xu and Chu armies combined had millions of soldiers on the border, they still could not compete with the royal family. "
"Besides, many of the officers and soldiers of the Xu family and the Chu family are still loyal to the royal family. Whether they can listen to your command and overthrow Tingxiang is another matter.
So the left prime minister looks very strong, but actually has no chance of winning.
Under this situation, if the left minister wants to truly overthrow the Tingxiang royal family, he has only one way, which is to borrow troops from other countries!
People from other countries are not fools, and they will definitely not take the lead. The first people to go to the battlefield will be General Xu and General Chu.
General Xu, do you feel that the leftists are treating you as a polite corporal, or are they using you as cannon fodder? "
Xu Chuan's body shook. Although this matter was complicated, after Tang Yan explained it so clearly, Xu Chuan would be really stupid if he still couldn't see the consequences clearly.
"These are the charges against the left prime minister in recent years. Tianbing Pavilion personally investigated them and they are absolutely not false." Tang Yan handed over another stack of charges, which were much thicker than those against the Xu family.
General Xu flipped through the pages one by one, his eyes gradually widened, and his face turned red. Finally he couldn't help it and yelled: "Bastard!"
"Back then, the Emperor and General Xu fought side by side. In fact, in the Emperor's heart, General Xu was the truly good general.
The reason why you are allowed to stay in the imperial city is because the current emperor has absolute trust in you and believes that you can protect the stability of the royal family and allow the prince to successfully succeed to the throne. However, he did not expect that General Xu would turn against the left prime minister. "
What Tang Yan said was indeed made up by him.
But when Xu Chuan heard this, his body froze again, his eyes instantly turned red, and he said with a dull face: "I see, that's it! I, Xu, am deceived by lard, and I deserve death!"
"Since General Xu has been deceived by the Zuo Prime Minister's slanderous words, I can give you another choice. Return to the royal family, fight against the Zuo Prime Minister, and never allow traitors to collude with foreign forces and meddle with even half an inch of our mountains and rivers.
After the deed is accomplished, the meritorious service is first-class, and from then on General Xu can go to the frontier to open up new territory.
I will destroy all negative news about General Xu. What will be left to the world in the future will still be General Xu who serves the country wholeheartedly.
Xu Chuan, are you acceptable to this condition? Tang Yan asked in a low voice.
Xu Chuan's eyes opened suddenly, but he didn't expect that things would turn out to be dark and clear. He was originally determined to die, but not only did he hear that there was a way to survive, but he would continue to use him regardless of his past grudges.
For a time, Xu Chuan had the urge to become a scholar and die for his confidant.
At that moment, he patted his chest and said, "Master Tang, before, Xu was ignorant and did not distinguish between good and evil. If there is a chance to come back again, I will definitely serve as the royal servant!"
"That's very good. We will send troops to Zuo Xiangfu in the near future, and General Xu needs to make some preparations." Tang Yan ordered.
"By the way, Lord Tang, although Old Chu was also wooed by the Left Prime Minister, his mentality of joining the Left Prime Minister is similar to Xu's. Moreover, at that time, he saw that Xu had joined the Left Prime Minister and was forced to change sides due to the situation. This time, why not invite General Chu to come and have a good talk."
Tang Yan's eyes lit up and nodded, "In this case, I will need General Xu's cooperation later."
Xu Chuan clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Lord, I know the limits."
...
Tang Yan didn't know whether there were any spies from the Left Prime Minister in the palace, so he simply asked Xu Chuan to wait here, and went straight to the Tianji Pavilion after he went out.
"Lord Tang, did you put General Xu under house arrest?" Seeing Tang Yan coming out, Mo Wei and others asked anxiously.
"Bullshit! This seat has always adhered to the principle of conquering people with virtue, how could I restrict others' freedom? If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be punished with a military stick!
Pass the order down, let Kunhe lead the Imperial Guards to invite General Chu!" After Tang Yan gave an order, he turned around and left without giving Mo Wei a chance to speak.
You conquer people with virtue? Mo Wei rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Thinking of Tang Yan's recent moves, Mo Wei could only pray that Tang Yan did not make a wrong move.
As the leaders of the two major military strategists were all invited into the palace by the so-called Lord Tang, the entire imperial city suddenly fell into a state of tension.
