When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
But it's no wonder, after all, this is the first time he has heard such a weird thing.
"Oh? Yang Yang... I don't quite understand this... Why do you say this, sir? As the saying goes, 'Without the skin, how can the hair be attached'? If the Jin Dynasty weakens, what benefit will it have to the Fan family?... "
Li Ran smiled slightly and continued to speak calmly:
"I wonder if the general has ever understood all the misdeeds Fan Yang did before he died?"
Zhao Yang thought for a moment and shook his head solemnly:
"Zhao Yang is stupid and really can't understand... Fan Yang made enemies of his neighbors everywhere in the last few years! It stands to reason... Even if Fan Yang is not for the Jin country, even if it is for his own interests, he should not let the Jin The country has fallen into such a passive situation.”
"With the decline of the Jin Kingdom, how can the Fan family fare better? What Fan Yang has done in the past is really hard to see through..."
Li Ran naturally knew that these were actually the conspiracy of the secret gangsters.
However, he doesn't want Zhao Yang to know about the existence of the Dark Walkers yet. From Li Ran's observation, it seems that Zhao Yang is indeed unaware of the existence of the Dark Walkers.
After all, as Fan's mortal enemy, it is indeed impossible for the Dark Walkers to get in touch with him.
Therefore, Li Ran decided to put it in another way.
"Haha, the general may have never thought about such a question! What does the rise and fall of a country have to do with the country's officials?"
"In the past, Feng Duan Feng Boshi of the Zheng State, who was a grandson and grandson, held the high position of the Six Ministers of the Zheng State, but he still colluded with foreign countries, did evil in the Zheng State, and brought a lot of trouble to Dr. Zichan. Troubled! What about Ji Pingzi of Lu State, Qi Guoqing Feng and others in the past?"
"Therefore, although the rise and fall of a country is the foundation for the minister, it is by no means the whole story! Especially...when the world is in chaos! The general believes that when a country is in trouble, the ministers and officials of that country How will most of them deal with themselves?"
Zhao Yang thought about it carefully and replied:
"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages...connecting with neighboring countries?"
Li Ran put his palms together and smiled:
"Haha, it's exactly what the general said! And this... isn't it what Feng Duan and Ji Sun Yiru and their like did? They were once attached to Fan Yang, and the Jin State was strong at that time, so Fan Yang was indeed Give them some protection. But now, the Jin State is in decline, but the Qi State is planning to make a comeback!"
"By that time, even the Fan family of the Jin State will probably be attached to the Qi State. Moreover, if they really get the help of the Qi State, won't they also be able to control the situation in the Jin State?! "
After Zhao Yang heard this, he nodded in shock and said:
"So... sir... maybe they have already formed some kind of alliance?"
What the Anxing people do is actually related to the personalities of the Seven Lords of the Anxing. Sometimes, for the sake of their own country's interests, the underworld members may even be suspicious of each other. But more often than not, they support each other, especially on the oldest path of jointly resisting monarchy.
Therefore, if this kind of thing is not explained clearly, it will be difficult for others to detect the mystery.
Li Ran did not comment on this, and just said:
"Fan Yang saw that your Zhao family was about to replace them as the chief ministers of the Jin State, and that the Fan family would gradually lose their dominant position in the Jin State, so he focused on the Qi State. Speaking of which, General Is it easy to understand?!”
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help being shocked. He couldn't help taking a breath, shaking his head and saying in disbelief:
"This... has never been heard of by Yang Yang! Even Yan Yu... has never thought of it this way! But... what Mr. said is so reasonable and reasonable, I have to accept it!"
Li Ran continued:
"So, Fan Yang did not hesitate to offend Song, Lu, and even Zheng at the same time, and his purpose was clearly revealed! Moreover, you six ministers were fighting among themselves. The general thought that Tian Qi would not What more can be done from this?!”
Zhao Yang couldn't help but nodded and asked:
"Then...I don't know how to deal with it?"
But Li Ran shook his head again:
"Haha, although Fan Yang had a good design back then, he did not expect that Qi State would suddenly change! Now, the sudden rise of Prince Tu has in turn suppressed the prosperous Tian Dynasty for a while. Shi!"
"Therefore, Tian's biggest worry now is not with the princes in the world, but with Prince Tu! Moreover, now that the Marquis of Qi is old, he may not have much time left, and the fight between Tian and Prince Tu may be It will become more and more intense. Therefore, Tian Qi doesn’t have much thought to intervene in your Jin Kingdom’s internal fight at this moment!”
"And this is the general's opportunity to win!"
Zhao Yang listened and nodded:
"Sir, what you said makes sense. Yang Yang has also heard of the reputation of Prince Tu of Qi State. He is indeed a rising star! It seems that... Sir, he gained a lot from his last trip to Qi State!"
Li Ran smiled slightly:
"It's a pity... Although Prince Tu can check and balance him for a while, he is still too young after all and does not understand the principle of 'strong men are easy to break'. And when facing an opponent like Tian Qi, if there is no strategy, over time, I’m afraid I won’t be his opponent in the end! However… during this period, it is the only opportunity the general can take advantage of!”
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said:
"Zhao Yang is now at a loss for what to do. Please sir, please give me a fight on behalf of Yang Yang!"
Li Ran picked up the water before the case, took a sip first, put down the water cup, and then slowly said:
"After Fan Yang's death, there are undercurrents surging in the Jin Kingdom. Although the surface is peaceful at the moment, large-scale conflicts may break out at any time. The general is involved, so he must be well aware of this, right? And Jin The country’s position as the master of the world is actually in name only!”
"Especially after Fan's planning before his death, the surrounding princes have actually become estranged from the Jin State, such as the Zheng State and the Wei State. The general must already know this."
"Furthermore, the Fan family, the Zhonghang family, and the Handan Zhao family have actually formed the Jindong Alliance. Most of the Jindong Alliance has marriages with foreign countries, and most of them are adjacent to the Qi State."
"So, it can be seen that your Zhao family's predicament is far from being as simple as the previous internal fights!"
"It is related to the overall situation of the world. If the Zhao family wants to break out of it, it is not enough to have military power! It is also necessary to assess the situation and take the overall situation into consideration! In other words, if the Zhao family wants to make a difference, it must focus on It’s about the world, not the rise and fall of one family! And this... is the reason why Li Ran was dissatisfied with the general who only wanted peace, or how to strengthen the Zhao family!"
Zhao Yang nodded again and couldn't help but sigh:
"Sir, Yang Yang already understands what he meant... However, our Zhao family has gone through many ups and downs in the Jin Kingdom. My grandfather, Zhao Wenzi, had a great talent and was able to establish our Zhao family at the top of the Jin Dynasty again." …And starting from my grandfather, I can’t go back more than three generations to Yang Yang… Therefore, if I want to use my Zhao family to prosper the world, I’m afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!”
"Even if Zhao Yang has this intention, I'm afraid he can't do anything about it..."
"If you don't have a good plan and start a war rashly... then won't Martingale become the eternal sinner of our Zhao family?"
Li Ran couldn't help but sneered again:
"The general doesn't have the slightest fear among the thousands of troops. Why does he have to look forward and backward and be timid while standing in the court?"
At this time, Li Ran raised his hand again and said with a smile:
"Haha... that's alright. If the general has no confidence, Li Ran now has a way to make the Zhao family invincible! I wonder if the general... doesn't mean it?!"
Zhao Yang and Li Ran were sitting across from each other. When they heard this, they fell to the ground.
"Please sir... give me some advice!"
When Li Ran saw this, he hurriedly returned the gift:
"Alas! General, you don't have to be so polite. It's not too late to listen to what Li Ran said first and see if it makes sense!"
Zhao Yang stood up and helped Li Ran up as well.
"Sir, please speak, Martingale is all ears!"
Li Ran said:
"All you need is for the general to remember eight words: respect the royal family internally and promote royal affairs externally!"
"My inner honor is to protect the Marquis of Jin no matter what. This is very important to the general! Only with the full support of the Marquis of Jin can the general gain the support of Jin's scholars. Even the support of the common people! The world has been suffering from Quan Qing’s reign for a long time. This is the cornerstone of the general’s great cause!”
"As for respecting the king, even if I don't say it, the general should be able to understand its importance! Now that all the ministers in the world have formed an alliance, if the general wants to compete with them, he must do the opposite! Therefore, respect the king How can the general ignore this banner?"
"In the past, Yang Hu had bad intentions at first, and he was still able to govern the state of Lu for several years just by respecting the official position of the Lu state. It can be seen that this move is popular among the people. If the general sincerely serves the Zhou Dynasty to fight against rebellion, the general will still be afraid of the world. People don’t know how to eat a pot of pulp to welcome a general?!"
While Zhao Yang listened, he couldn't help but feel as if he was overturning the river.
After hearing Li Ran's words, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Sir's talent is as bright as the sun and the moon!"
