"Brother Zhang, the atmosphere in Liangzhou is very tense, especially in Zhangye. Why are you entering the city at this time?" Li Dewu is not a wanted criminal and can appear openly and openly anywhere in the Sui Dynasty. He entered the city with the Li family's caravan the day before yesterday.
Just now he heard the message sent by the contact person, and then he knew that Zhang Zhongjian had entered Zhangye City and hurriedly ran to join him.
Zhang Zhongjian shook his head, and a disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Even Yang Ji would not have thought that I would dare to enter Zhangye City. Besides, the whole of Liangzhou is preparing for war and people are in panic. How could he have thought of a "little guy" like me? "
He hated Yang Ji so much that he almost went crazy, and thought bitterly: I just assassinated you once, but instead of succeeding in the assassination, I was injured by you. If you want to hate me, you should hate He Ruobi who is already dead! As for exterminating a small family like this?
Where is the law of heaven?
Dewu frowned and said earnestly: "Brother Zhang, Zhangye and even Liangzhou are all in the world. He has extremely strong control over Liangzhou. We here have no help at all. This time, I am here to see you. It's all a huge risk. I'd better be careful."
"Let it go!" Zhang Zhongjian calmed down his emotions, tried hard to put away the hatred in his eyes, and said to Li De calmly: "I will cause trouble for my dear brother, so my dear brother can rest assured."
"Yang Ji and I are irreconcilable, so why would Brother Zhang support me? Li Dewu shook his head and said, "It's just that Yang Ji is very guarded against my family, and the family line is under Yang Ji's control. If not, I would like to let him go. Everything, start a career with Brother Zhang. "
Zhang Zhongjian looked at the sky in the distance with some trance, his eyes flashed with nostalgia, guilt and deep regret, and he sighed: "My late father had the foresight to tell me to be down-to-earth in life and work. Don't do it." I went astray in pursuit of quick success and instant gain. Unfortunately, I mistook this wisdom for cowardice, hehe... now I have really responded to my late father’s concerns and ended up with a broken family.)”
At this point, Zhang Zhongjian's eyes suddenly flashed with a stern look, and he said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk about this. No matter what, I will avenge dozens of members of the Zhang family."
Li Dewu raised his eyebrows and said resolutely: "My family has prepared twenty warriors with high martial arts skills for my business trip this time. No matter what Brother Zhang wants to do, I will fully cooperate with him."
Zhang Zhongjian took a deep look at Li Dewu and was noncommittal; he had been dealing with powerful people for many years and understood that powerful people were more snobbish than any ordinary person. They never did anything unprofitable. Would Li Dewu be so kind to help him?
After a while, he asked calmly: "Brother Xian, aren't you afraid of bringing Li in? Can Li answer?"
"It has nothing to do with the Li family, it is my personal opinion. I, Li Dewu, and Brother Zhang live and die together, and share the same hardships." Li Dewu stared at Zhang Zhongjian without flinching, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang knows my experience. I hate Li from Longxi. His family is even better than Yang Ji's."
Li Dewu was abandoned and abandoned by his family, and almost lost his life. This made him hate his family even more than Yang Ji. However, he also knew that his family was an insignificant ant compared with Yang Ji, so he needed to be patient and patient. Use the strength of the family to strengthen yourself; only in this way can you achieve a great cause. If he succeeds, he will not only enjoy great power, but also become an inspirational example among the aristocratic families.
Zhang Zhongjian seems to be miserable now, but Li Wu knows that he still has a great reputation and connections among the rangers, so he is ready to accept him for his own use. In order to achieve the purpose of conquering him, Li Wu seems to be very talkative. Frankly, he didn't even hide his ambitions.
When Li Dewu explained his ambitions one by one, Zhang Zhongjian was finally moved. Now there are only more than a dozen close confidants who died. Although these people are brave, they are too few in number, and Yang Ji is cheering and supporting him when he comes in and out. With these few people, they can't kill Ji at all, so he is more vulnerable than ever at this moment. need help.
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjian still had some doubts, Li Dewu pulled out a dagger from his boot and made a severe cut on his arm. Blood immediately gurgled out. He reluctantly said to Zhang Zhongjian in a deep voice: "I, Li Dewu, swear here, if I have the slightest chance, False words, thunder from the sky and five thunders will hit my head, causing me to die badly."
People believe that there are gods at the top of their heads, are full of awe of the unknown, and do not dare to swear easily (this chapter is not finished yet!)

, once a blood oath like Li Dewu is made, he will definitely abide by it. Zhang Zhongjian used to be a shipman and believed in oaths more than ordinary people. His doubts disappeared and he quickly took out the medicine for Li Dewu's injury. While bandaging, he said, "I don't doubt brother Xian's sincerity. The main reason is that I don't dare to gamble. Brother Xian, why bother?" Take this blood oath?"
"I can understand Brother Zhang's difficulties!" Li Dewu said: "But if I am not like this, how can I express my sincerity?"
Zhang Zhongjian no longer had any doubts, and Li Dewu's fierceness also made him appreciate it. After bandaging, he sat down again and asked Li Dewu, whose face remained calm, "Xian Guo really helped me? Uh, what I mean is Are your more than twenty warriors reliable?"
Li Dewu looked at his arm and saw that Zhang Zhongjian was actually wearing a vivid bow. He put away the dagger quite speechlessly, then pulled off the torn clothes and hid the bow inside. After finishing his work, he raised his head and said to Zhang Zhongjian: "To be honest, these twenty warriors are actually the dead soldiers used by the Li family to help Brother Zhang. They will obey all my orders. They will do whatever I ask them to do. Zhang Dak can rest assured about this. "
Zhang Zhongjian pondered for a moment and asked: "In my opinion, if we concentrate our efforts to assassinate him, how sure are we?"
Li Dewu was very happy that Zhang Zhongjian could ask this; it showed that he believed in himself, which was a very good start.) He had already analyzed the assassination case, and said: "Unless the younger brother attacked the older brother, the younger brother thinks it was successful." The possibility is less than 10%.”
"Why do you see it?" Zhong Jian asked with a frown.
Li Dewu smiled bitterly and said: "Every drink is a cause and effect. Since Yang Ji was assassinated by his brother, he has strengthened his defense force. Don't forget that he only brought a dozen or twenty guards, but almost all of them within the arrow were his." If someone makes a slight movement, he will be suppressed by several people and unable to move."
Speaking of this, Li Dewu sincerely added to Zhang Zhongjian: "Actually, because Su Wei, Pei, Yang Xiong and other high-ranking officials have offended many people, they will deploy guards like this whenever they go to crowded places. Brother, we People cannot get close to Yang Ji at all. It is not advisable to act rashly."
Zhang Zhongjian was silent when he heard this. He knew that what Li Dewu said was the truth. It was those unprofessional assassins who failed in many things and failed in many things, who taught him to be smart. In the past, when Yang Ji traveled, he would usually be surrounded by a few people, but he was taught a lesson and became smarter. If these two dozens of dead soldiers were to charge forward, I'm afraid they would still be too few.
After taking a look at his general, Zhang Zhongjian frowned and said, "In my brother's opinion, what should we do?"
"If you lack strength, you have to take advantage of it - take advantage of someone who is stronger than yourself and stronger than others! If you can't find a good opportunity, then keep this relationship forever. Once you get the opportunity, don't hesitate to strike with a fatal blow. The enemy will never be able to stand up again!" Li Dewu looked at Zhang Zhongjian with burning eyes and said one by one: "And now there is a good opportunity in front of you."
"Brother Xian, are you talking about Tuhun?" Liangzhou is the vane of the New Deal in the world. Almost all the aristocratic families have set up intelligence here. Although Zhang Zhongjian does not have it, there are no other enemies in the western part of the Sui Dynasty except Tuyuhun, so He also guessed that the Liangzhou army was frequently dispatched, and the target was Tuyuhun on the plateau. He frowned and said: "But the Sui Dynasty's elite soldiers are vast and invincible. How can a mere Tuyu stop the majestic power of heaven?"
"Haha, Tuyuhun is just a mere one? The late emperor thought so too at the beginning..." Li Dewu raised his eyes and looked out the window, and said indifferently: "During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, Tuyuhun harassed the Sui border several times. The late emperor sent a large army to the plateau, but They were all beaten back by Kua Lu, and finally they changed their policies to alienate and be soft-hearted."
Zhang Zhongjian's heart moved and he asked: "Is it possible that there is some "labor" of the Longxi Li family in this?"
"It's not just the Li family, there are many, many more!" Li Dewu looked at Zhang Zhongjian's horrified eyes and sneered: "Since Tuyuhun was able to block the late emperor's expeditionary army back then, today, he can also block Yang Ji at the foot of the mountain."
"As long as Yang Ji is defeated, even without us taking action, the princes and family members will try their best to kill Yang Ji. This is taking advantage of the situation."
In the art of Machiavellianism, the first priority is talent. If there is no talent, even the smartest people will not be able to achieve higher achievements in this way; the second is the environment. If there is no talent, no one can discuss Machiavellianism and peace (this chapter is not finished yet!)

The political environment is not a big deal either.
Zhang Zhongjian was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely intelligent, but the main people he came into contact with were high-level people in the Sui Dynasty. Although he also had constant contact with high-level people, in front of those people, he was just a submissive person who did whatever they asked him to do. Whatever he did, he would assassinate whoever was asked... He didn't even dare to ask why. Only by completing the task can you get 70% to 80% of the money. The other 20% to 30% will be eaten by the watchdogs of those high-level people. It can be seen that even though he knew this, he did not dare to say "no".
It is also because of this that Zhang Zhongjian's "contact" with people from the upper class did not change the fact that he was a member of the lower class. As a result, this king of darkness could not learn any tactics. In terms of the general vision, pattern, and struggle, he is far inferior to Li Wu, who comes from a top political family)
At this time, after listening to Li Dewu's words and thinking about Zhang Jun, the former governor of Taozhou (Lintao), and Yuanshan, the former governor of Weizhou (Longxi), who sold 200,000 shi of official grain and 600,000 shi of official grain to Tuyuhun respectively, I suddenly had an epiphany in my heart. .
He originally thought that Zhang Jun and Yuan Shan were seeking personal gain, but now after listening to Li Dewu's words, it seemed that neither of them wanted the support of the Li family in Longxi! They had previously encouraged officials from the two counties to sell grain to Tuhun in order to increase their supply of grain and grass so that they could fully resist the Sui attack. And if Tuyuhun was still unable to withstand the Sui army, then the family members would also have other means to weaken the Sui army and create an opportunity for Tuyuhun to win.
It only succeeded in dragging the Sui army to death on the ice and snow plateau. Even if the Sui Dynasty won the final victory, the national power of the Sui Dynasty and the prestige of the emperor would have been exhausted. By then, no matter how wise and decisive the emperor was, how could he dare to do so? To influence the interests of aristocratic families?
I'm afraid that not only will they not move, but they will try to win over the aristocratic families and make them the cornerstone of a stable world.
However, the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals of the Sui Dynasty were bound to have their bodies scattered and their souls wandering around, and they would not be able to return to their hometown until they died.
Looking at "Dugu"'s move to lead the Turkic Khanate's army southward, it seems to be aimed at Yang, but if you think about it carefully, isn't it weakening the national power and army of the Sui Dynasty? If their plot succeeds, it doesn't matter whether Yang Ji lives or dies.
Is this a family whose interests come first? For the sake of their own interests, they did not hesitate to push countless good people to the abyss of death, causing the great Sui Dynasty to be destroyed in one day. If that's the case, wouldn't these aristocratic families be the ones Yang Ji said were Han/female cadres and thieves?
After sorting through this, Zhang Zhongjian felt a chill in his heart!
He underestimated the ambitions of the aristocratic families and overestimated the integrity of the aristocratic families. Moreover, these aristocratic families were really terrifying!
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Zhang Zhongjian frowned and asked, "Xiandi, I wonder if this plan to undermine the imperial court and cause Yang Ji's defeat was the work of your family or the idea of a good brother?"
"I personally don't have the strength and manpower." Li Dewu answered Zhang Zhongjian indirectly, and then said to him: "But as long as I finish this matter, I will gain the strength and manpower. I will never treat you badly."
Being abandoned and abandoned by his family only made Li Dewu hate and dislike his family. However, the tasks given by his family and the promise of being a business manager made his power-advocating ambition take root and thrive.
"Brother, I am a Han, an orthodox Han." Looking at Li Dewu, Zhang Zhongjian shook his head, "Wouldn't this be helping Tuyuhun to harm me, the Han?"
"Brother, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. If Yang Ji's army is defeated, my brother will be avenged, but he can achieve many things with one stone!" Li Dewu advised.
"I don't want to mention this matter again. Even if I am trapped in hell and never recover, I will still be self-respecting, self-reliant, and independent, and I will never do anything harmful to the country and the Han people." Zhang Zhongjian's expression was indifferent, but his words were sonorous and full of meaning. There was an extremely strong energy.
Zhang Zhongjian understood that Li Dewu was conveying the Li family's wishes and hoped that he could convey military information or other information to the Tyuhun people in order to frame Yang Ji. However, Yang Jiran is a big enemy who wants to get rid of him quickly, but Zhang Zhongjian is not a wealthy family member who is only willing to betray the interests of the country and the nation. He has the arrogance, glory, dignity and bottom line of the Han people in his bones. If he sabotaged the Sui Dynasty's plan during the battle between the Sui Dynasty and Tuyuhun, wouldn't he be like a dolphin (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Has the dog-like family become a wealthy family?
After hearing these words, Li Dewu was not moved. Instead, he was amused and surprised. He felt that there was nothing more ridiculous and funny in the world than this.
In the past ten or twenty years, Zhang Zhongjian has killed, if not three to five thousand, then one to two thousand Han people directly or indirectly.
At that time, where were the Han people's national justice and broad-mindedness?
And Yang Ji, if you hadn't assassinated him, how could you have dealt with a small character like you?
Why are you pretending to be a moral saint now?
However, although Li Dewu thought so in his heart, his face remained calm. He sighed: "Everyone has his own ambitions. My brother is open-minded and aboveboard, so naturally I dare not force him. But if the brother does not take advantage of the situation, if these dead soldiers also died heroically, Well, how can I avenge dozens of members of the Zhang family?"
Li Dewu continued: "After Yang Su's death, Yang Ji will be a new generation of military gods. He will be the moving Great Wall that Hu horses dare not go south. One person can be worth a hundred thousand elite soldiers. If my brother succeeds in his assassination, he will destroy the Great Wall and kill himself." One hundred thousand soldiers, isn’t this also aiding a foreign race?”
"The problem now is: If you don't take advantage of the situation, you can't kill Yang Ji; if you take advantage of the situation, killing him will bring huge losses to the Sui Dynasty; of course, you don't have to kill him, but to tell the ugly truth, for me, although the damage is great, I still can't kill him." I can bear it! But what about my brother? What about his family feud?
Zhang Zhongjian looked at Li Dewu with a gloomy expression and remained silent. The atmosphere became a little dull for a while. After a long time, Zhang Zhongjian sighed and said bitterly: "My dear brother, please let me think twice."
Li Dewu bowed and saluted: "Okay, little brother, wait patiently for brother."
