In the palace of the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Suining County, Zhao Tai pulled Wang Wentong into the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench.
Zhao Tai did not expect that the rebellious Wang Wentong would come and recommend himself without even visiting the thatched cottage.
This was in sharp contrast to when Zhao Tai went out to see him for the first time.
Zhao Tai originally thought that it would take some time to get Wang Wentong to return to his heart, but he didn't expect that this guy would vote so quickly.
This made Zhao Tai feel a little disappointed, wondering whether this guy was the Wang Wentong in history, and whether he had two skills.
That's how people are. If they don't get it, they just think about it in their hearts. After they get it, they start to make trouble again.
At this time, the two of them sat down. Zhao Tai asked his subordinates to make a pot of tea, and personally gave Wang Wentong a cup. He said casually: "Sir, you are willing to work for me. I am like a helping hand and a fish in water. However, there is something I don't understand. Why is Mr. I suddenly changed my mind!"
Wang Wentong knew that he had lost some of his worth by taking the initiative to seek refuge, but in this world, talents are rare, and famous masters are even harder to find.
As a northern Han Chinese, it is really difficult to express my ambitions.
There was no enterprising spirit in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was difficult to dominate the world. They could only settle down in a corner, unable to realize their ambitions and unable to show their talents.
The Han people in the north have many military skills, but according to Wang Wentong's observation, few are ambitious.
According to his previous understanding, Li Quan was quite ambitious, but he died.
As for the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, they are both alien races and are the last and helpless choices.
In fact, Wang Wentong has been looking for someone who can help these years, and his observation of Zhao Tai these days made him happy to find that Zhao Tai is a good potential stock.
Wang Wentong glanced at Zhao Tai with a smile, "As the saying goes, a bird that chooses wood must live in a good tree; a minister who chooses a master must meet a wise master! When Xianggong asks why I changed my mind, it is better to ask why I chose Xianggong."
Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows. Wang Wentong's words were of a certain standard. He could not only avoid embarrassing himself, but also flatter him in disguise.
Zhao Tai decided to give him this opportunity and asked cooperatively: "Oh, I wonder how I attracted Sir?"
Wang Wentong stood up and faced Zhao Tai with his hands behind his back, "First, my husband came from Xuzhou, and hungry people followed him, which shows that my husband has the virtue of being a wise ruler and is trusted by the people. Second, after my husband entered the city, he did not immediately rectify Suining. When Song Yuan arrived, he first paid the army, and then made a three-part agreement with the army, which shows that the prime minister has the wisdom of a wise master, makes decisions before acting, and does not act recklessly. Thirdly, when a sergeant breaks the law, the prime minister kills him, and enforces the law impartially, which shows that he has a wise master. The killing was decisive. Finally, the Xianggong had money and food in his hands. He did not immediately recruit soldiers to increase his strength. Instead, he restored order in Suining City, established rules, and at the same time provided relief to the hungry people, which shows that the Xianggong knows how to win over the people. Now that the Xianggong has a good reputation, all around the world The people rushed to seek refuge first, and then Xianggong raised flags to recruit troops. All the soldiers he got came because of Xianggong, which was a stroke of genius."
"Hahaha~" Zhao Tai felt really comfortable after hearing his compliment.
Although there was flattery in Wang Wentong's words, what he said was basically consistent with Zhao Tai's thoughts.
This made Zhao Tai certain that this Wang Wentong was probably the unlucky guy who was killed by Kublai Khan in history.
Wang Wentong turned around and also laughed, "My lord, tell me, is a wise leader like you who is benevolent, wise, decisive in killing, and knows how to win people's hearts worthy of my trust?"
Wang Wentong praised Zhao Tai and himself.
Since he said that Zhao Tai would win the hearts of the people, it was not easy for Zhao Tai to embarrass him anymore, so he sincerely stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please sit down and talk."
Wang Wentong immediately sat down again, and Zhao Tai began to test the last question, "Sir, you also know that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been in chaos, and for more than three hundred years, there has never been a master with great talent and strategy who can unify the world and clean up the world. Now that Mongolia has risen and invaded the south, the world is in danger. I am not talented, but I only have the land of Suining, but I want to resist the Mongols and protect our Central Plains culture. Now that my land has few soldiers, sir, can you give me some advice to drive out the Mongols and establish Merit?"
Wang Wentong knew that this was the last big question given to him by his boss, and whether he could do it well was related to what kind of status he could gain in Zhao Tai's group.
Faced with such a big question, Wang Wentong was very cautious. He did not rush to answer the question immediately, but asked seriously: "I wonder whether the achievement mentioned by the husband is to revive the Jin Kingdom or to revive the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Wentong, and thought to himself: "I am a fine artist from the Song Dynasty. Is it so obvious?"
Zhao Tai thought about it for a while. Since he decided to recruit Wang Wentong and rely on him to make suggestions and help handle military and political matters, he must reveal his true thoughts to him. Otherwise, the other party will not be able to handle many things and will not be able to act according to his wishes. implement.
Zhao Tai did not say anything clearly, but also stood up with his hands behind his back, "The ambition of a man is like a torrential river flowing into the sea. I am not for the Jin Kingdom or the Southern Song Dynasty. My achievement is to clean up the world and unify the nine states." , and bring peace to the people of the world."
After hearing this, Wang Wentong became excited. Looking at Zhao Tai's back, he suddenly felt the urge to cry.
For so many years, he has traveled around the world, and it can be said that Zhao Tai is the person closest to him and the person he understands in his heart.
He had both Liu Bei's benevolence and Cao Cao's talent and strategy, and he was decisive in killing. Wang Wentong made up his mind that he could not hesitate and must follow him.
After understanding Zhao Tai's thoughts, Wang Wentong looked at Zhao Tai's back and bowed his hands respectfully, "My husband wants to establish his merits, and I think the key lies in the support of the people. Nowadays, Jin, Song, and Mongolia are not popular among the people. The Song Dynasty is in a corner and loses It is difficult to unify the people of the north. The Jin Kingdom is a foreign race that has conquered the Central Plains, and it is hard to win the support of the people. Now that they have stolen the artifact, they cannot protect and treat the people well, and their destruction is certain. As for the Mongols, they are also a foreign race, and their tyranny is no better than that of the Jin Kingdom. No less, they use force to intimidate the Central Plains and use killing to suppress people's hearts. In my opinion, this is not a long-term solution."
Wang Wentong paused and continued: "Now the people in the north are like abandoned people. Because they have not met the Ming Dynasty, their thoughts are confused. Some of them rely on the Jin Kingdom, some seek refuge in the Mongolia, and some place their hopes on the Southern Song Dynasty, but they all rely on the Southern Song Dynasty. Non-human. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. From the perspective of my subordinates, if Mr. Xianggong can use the wealth of the Southern Song Dynasty and use the name of resisting Mongolia to win over people's hearts and develop his strength, he can achieve great things."
Zhao Tai nodded slightly, feeling that what Wang Wentong said was reasonable, but something seemed to be missing.
At this time, Wang Wentong suddenly saluted and said: "But my subordinates also want to remind Mr. Mongolia that Mongolia is powerful and its troops are invincible. Mr. Xian wants to win the hearts of the people, but remember not to be too high-profile. If there is a way, the trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. My subordinates believe that before the Xianggong has the strength to block the Mongolian attack, it is not appropriate to offend Mongolia too much and let Mongolia focus on the Xianggong. The Xianggong should hide behind the Jin and Song Dynasties and seek development first to strengthen his own strength."
Zhao Tai's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nod heavily. He was familiar with this, "This is to build a high wall, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king!"
Wang Wentong was stunned. He had a rough idea in his mind. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tai summed it up in an instant, and was greatly shocked in his heart.
