Jizhou City.
Inside the governor's mansion.
Wang Ke, Xu Maogong, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Ling Wei were sitting together.
These people are the wise men that Wang Ke currently relies on most.
in.
Although Wei Zheng did not serve wholeheartedly.
But every time there is a discussion.
Wang Ke will invite him to his side.
I believe that with such sincerity, I will definitely be able to impress this talented person in the future.
This time.
It was the time when Fang Xuanling arrived for the first time.
He and Wang Ke discussed the general trend of the world.
The two talked deeply.
Wang Ke then sent an order for Xu Maogong and others to come to the mansion for a while to meet this new talent.
then.
Everyone gathered at the governor's mansion.
Listen quietly to Fang Xuanling analyze the current situation.
at this time.
I could only hear Fang Xuanling talking:
"Today, our Sui Dynasty seems to be cooking in flames, just like flowers blooming in brocade. However, there is an undercurrent surging. If you are not careful, it will cause earth-shaking changes!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said these words of horror.
When everyone heard this.
Except for Wang Ke and Xu Maogong.
There were expressions of surprise on the other faces.
"How could this be?"
Ling Wei frowned and asked.
Fang Xuanling paused and then said:
“The hidden dangers of our Sui Dynasty lie within and outside;
In addition, there are the separatist forces of the Six Kingdoms and Three Rivers.
Among the Six Kingdoms and Three Rivers, although the Turkic Kingdom has clearly surrendered, foreigners cannot trust it. Only with strong military armor can it be completely subdued.
Secondly, the Northern Liao Kingdom was wiped out and conquered by our army, and its vitality was severely damaged. Now it can only rely on others to make a living, which is not something to be afraid of.
Then there are the four forces, Shatuo Kingdom, Liaodong Bohai Kingdom, Tuyuhun Kingdom, and Nanzhao Kingdom. These forces are all sharpening their knives and eyeing us. If there is a change in the country, the four families will inevitably start an army. Attack the Central Plains.
This is a foreign invasion. "
Speaking of which.
Fang Xuanling paused.
His eyes fell on Wang Ke.
"So, where are the internal worries?"
Wang Ke looked at Fang Xuanling, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to continue.
Fang Xuanling cupped her hands and continued:
"The so-called internal troubles are nothing more than three sources. One is the separatism of clans, the other is the struggle between the north and the south, and the third is the imperial family's struggle for heirs..."
"this……"
Listen to Fang Xuanling say these three points.
Even Xu Maogong had a look of surprise on his face.
"First, the separatism of the clans. This is a big problem that has been left over since the beginning of the dispute between the two Wei Dynasties. Although there are great achievements in the sage, it can suppress the clans in Shandong, but as time goes by and the strength is accumulated, changes will easily happen!
Secondly, the struggle between the north and the south. This issue is almost the same as the separatism of clans. Many aristocratic families in the south are at odds with me in the Sui Dynasty. In recent days, I heard that there is a young master Xiao in Jiangling who has surrendered and accepted rebels. He has gathered many desperadoes. If the world If there is a change, a counter-flag will definitely be raised in the land of Jiangnan!
Third, the royal family seizes the direct descendants..."
Speaking of which.
Fang Xuanling's face showed a subtle expression.
"Xuanling, don't worry, go on."
Wang Ke smiled slightly and said to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling nodded and continued:
"The royal family's seizure of the rightful son is essentially where the first two internal worries are released.
A few days ago, the King of Jin made great efforts to sweep away Nanchen and conquered countless prominent people from the southern family.
On the other hand, the prince seemed to have accomplished nothing these days.
What's more, the emperor is gradually retreating to the rear because of the funeral of the queen. According to my uncle, the king of Jin is now in charge of the country. I don't know whether it is true or not. "
"This is serious."
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said.
"Since this matter is true, the emperor has already decided to abolish the establishment. If the King of Jin becomes the prince, the southern family will be able to enter the center, and the Guanlong family and the Shandong family will no longer have a place to establish themselves... Therefore, the chaos begins. And born.”
Fang Xuanling pointed at the map on the table, moved his fingers lightly, and spoke slowly.
“Mr.
Listen to Fang Xuanling's words.
Xu Maogong stood up, raised his hands and said.
"Mr. Xu is so complimentary."
Fang Xuanling smiled slightly and returned the gift reservedly.
"If there are such internal and external troubles, how should our Jizhou soldiers and horses deal with them?"
Wang Ke pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling turned her head, looked at Wang Ke, and said with a smile:
"My lord, there is no need to ask me about this matter. The situation is now clear. My lord and the Yue Kingdom are thick and have firmly stood by the side of King Jin. At this moment, my lord only needs to hide his strength and bide his time, temper his troops and prepare for the world. Change.
At that time, the lord will lead his army south to the Central Plains, and leave a general to intimidate the north. In this way, the world will be in the hands of the lord! "
"With the limited amount of information I have, I am able to analyze to such an extent. Fang Xuanling is indeed an outstanding figure in this world!"
After hearing these words.
Wang Ke nodded slightly and thought to himself.
Fang Xuanling is Fang Yanzao's nephew.
His source of information was just a county magistrate.
But with this.
Fang Xuanling was able to see internal and external troubles.
This is obviously much higher than Wang Ke who used later historical data to infer the situation of the Sui Dynasty.
but.
It is precisely because Fang Xuanling's level of contact is not high.
He did not see the real hidden dangers hidden in the situation.
actually.
During the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was another point, which was the issue of the Guanlong nobles' side.
at first.
In order to reward and win over the Guanlong nobles.
Yang Jian ordered the prince Yang Yong to marry Yuan Xiaoju's daughter as his official wife.
In order to connect the Jiangnan family.
Yang Jian also ordered Yang Guang to marry the daughter of Xiao Kui, Emperor Xiaoming of Western Liang, as his official wife.
unexpectedly.
This Yang Yong was quite willful and doted on Yun Zhaoxun, the daughter of Yun Dingxing, the surrendered general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which made the Yuan family and other Guanlong nobles very dissatisfied.
Soon, Concubine Yuan died in depression because she was not favored.
After this.
The hearts of the Guanlong nobles completely turned towards Jin Wang Yang Guang, who was polite to others and humble and gentle in his work.
but.
After Yang Guang came to the throne, he continued to suppress the Guanlong nobles.
He first moved the capital to Luoyang, and then built Jiangdu. He repeatedly recruited Guanzhong athletes to conquer all directions, which made the Guanlong nobles miserable.
finally.
The Guanlong nobles made a desperate move and launched many rebellions.
In addition, the Shandong family has always been unstable.
The exiled nobles in the south of the Yangtze River secretly recruited private soldiers.
There are also powerful heroes from the north and northwest who collude with foreign tribes to dominate one side.
In the end, Yang Guang's series of honey operations caused the entire world to collapse in an instant.
…
That night.
South of Jizhou City.
Among the newly built Taoist temples.
Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng sat opposite each other.
"Xuancheng, after listening to Mr. Xuanling's words today, do you have any insights?"
Xu Maogong asked with a smile.
"Mr. Xuanling is not as good as a weak man, but he has such insight. He is indeed a rare talent."
Wei Zheng nodded and replied.
"Hahahaha! Since there are such talented people assisting Wang Zhenbei, Xuancheng is full of ambitions, so don't be content with others!"
Xu Maogong laughed loudly, looked at Wei Zheng, and said.
"You're a Taoist priest, you're waiting for me here..."
Wei Zheng shook his head and joked with a smile.
"How is it? This Wang Zhenbei has told me many times that the position of Zhou Cheng next to him is already vacant."
Xu Maogong looked at Wei Zheng, his expression gradually became serious, and he said slowly.
"Mr. Mao, there's something I don't understand."
After hearing this.
Wei Zheng did not answer Xu Maogong's question directly.
Instead, he looked at his old friend and said.
"What's unknown?"
Xu Maogong asked.
"How did you know that Wang Zhenbei has the appearance of a master?"
Wei Zheng stared at Xu Maogong and said doubtfully.
