Tiantang Splendid

Internal strife
Li Zhi was extremely dissatisfied with Yu Wenshi and his boastful persuasion work has proved untrustworthy. Not only did Xue Wanche never really attach himself to him, he almost used his trust to stab himself in the back. It reveals the nature of his false surrender, but since he personally lobbied Xue Wanche and caused Hangu Pass to fall easily, it can also show that Qiu Xinggong's position has serious problems.

Now that these two people have failed to lobby, who can believe that the various forces in Guanzhong will really be persuaded by Yuwen Shiji?
Of course, he was only dissatisfied, and when he vented his anger, he began to calm down.

Now he seems to have a [-] army under his command, but in fact they are all mobs. It's okay to fight a smooth battle, but it's hard to be of much use when it comes to the moment of life and death.In particular, there is a serious shortage of general-level figures, which prevents the army from gaining a greater advantage at the strategic level and has to follow the rhythm of the court.

This is extremely dangerous, because you don't know when you will fall into the trap carefully set by the court...

Since it cannot be superior at the strategic level, it can only use its strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

The biggest advantage on my side is the desire of the whole army for victory. Only after victory can I get everything I promised, reputation, money, titles, and status. It is worth fighting for everyone regardless of life and death.

The so-called great rewards must have a brave man, and he even promised half of the future empire to grant the hero to seal the country, how could they not fight to the death?
But the imperial court is completely different. It needs to strictly follow the laws and regulations and the rules of the officialdom. If Li Chengqian dares to act like himself, instead of mobilizing the enthusiasm of the imperial court, it will cause the entire power center to collapse instantly.

Now that the power of the imperial court is in the hands of those with vested interests, forming Li Chengqian's ruling structure, how can those big bosses allow the subordinates to be equal to or even superior to themselves by virtue of their meritorious deeds?
Latecomers try to break the monopoly of power in order to redistribute benefits and reshape the full structure. Those with vested interests will naturally defend this structure to the death to protect their own interests. This is the root of all dynasty changes. When every dynasty rises, there may be such Such lofty and pure goals, ideal and beautiful expectations, but in the end, they will all return to such an eternal principle.

When the class is solidified, power is monopolized, and there is no room for the bottom to gain power and benefits across classes, everything will be pushed back.

Yuwenshi and the Guanlongmen faction represented by him have nowhere to retreat. Although things have not been done as they wished, they must be tied to him for life and death. They can definitely be entrusted with trust and use him to balance the Jiangnan gentry and Shandong clan. It is very necessary for an aristocratic family to achieve a balance of power under one's command.

Under the current situation, he really doesn't have the confidence to fight Yuwen Shiji...

Facing Li Zhi's anger, Yuwen Shiji was panicked at first, but soon calmed down. He understood the importance of himself in Li Zhi's camp. , Persuasion and lobbying, but also because I am the balance point of all forces in the Li Zhi camp.

Although Yuwen Shiji was sitting, his body was trembling, and he was crying: "The old minister is extremely ashamed. This old bone has long been dedicated to His Majesty. Life and death are beyond the reach of others. He wants to smash his body to help His Highness achieve great things... But after all Old and frail, weak in energy, often unable to do what one wants, originally thought of living in seclusion behind the scenes to let go of heavy responsibilities, but seeing that His Highness is surrounded by dangers and unpredictable futures, but he has to do his best and be brave in doing things... I am really ashamed."

In any case, with the youngest son carrying the seeds of the first thousand 230 two internal strife, the Yuchi family would not end up falling into the mortal world, devastated and ruined.

The tents of the Chinese army were brightly lit, and dozens of personal soldiers patrolled around all night without sleep, and no one was allowed to approach without notification.

Obviously, my anger and accusations made this Guanlong boss feel uncomfortable, so I naturally have to turn around, be gentle, and give a lot of understanding and encouragement.

……

"Yes, I came back two hours ago. I entered the camp from the north and went straight to the tent of His Royal Highness King Jin."

Otherwise, would the two major powers in Jiangnan and Shandong, represented by Xiao Yu and Cui Xin, let him, the king of Jin, be emptied?

Only then did Yuwen Shiji answer Li Zhi's previous question: "It's common for people to say one thing and do another. Besides, the current situation is unpredictable and ever-changing. When His Highness has not yet gained the greatest advantage, no one can guarantee those things." People can follow their promises and raise troops to respond to His Highness. All His Highness can do is to do one's best and obey the destiny. If the destiny returns, someone will come forward to assist His Highness to achieve the great cause at the critical moment of life. At the end of the day, it’s still a failure.”

Especially Xiao Yu, an old thief, is likely to have evil intentions and go towards Qin Muchu...

Many things depend on God's will. When Liu Bang killed the White Snake Uprising and was defeated by Xiang Yu repeatedly, and when Emperor Taizong brazenly set off the "Xuanwu Gate Change", who would think that they could finally achieve imperial dominance? ?
Destiny belongs, no matter what you do, you will be on the road to victory.

Although some are anticlimactic and controlled by others, but a man can bend and stretch, and there is no shame in it.

Now that he had no worries about the future, Yu Chigong relaxed, let Su Jia make another pot of tea, and while drinking slowly, asked: "Shiji Yuwen is back?"

But the face is still full of sincerity and fear, and the guilt is palpable: "The incompetence of the old minister has caused His Highness to almost fall into danger, and he must die!"

Most of the [-] troops under Li Zhi's command are private troops recruited by the elites in Shandong. The military discipline is lax and there are many factions. It is really easy to install and buy some eyeliners. There are few secrets about things.

The humility on Li Zhi's handsome face was gone, replaced by a rebellious and unruly expression, it seemed that even the gods above the nine heavens could not stop him from achieving great achievements in the world.

Yuwen Shiji was a little stunned for a while, maybe... this is Li Zhi's nature?
……

So what if I am the "Emperor of All Heavens" who replaces the heavens?
"Father fought back in desperation back then, surrounded by loyal people. You fought to the death and defeated the strong with the weak. The natural situation is irresistible. How can we attribute all the credit to the destiny? The situation today is similar to that at the beginning. When we are determined to bring order out of chaos and eradicate false emperors, we will be comrades from top to bottom, and the world will return to our hearts. Since this is what the hearts of the people want, how can we be trapped in difficulties, fear the weak, and entrust everything to the destiny? As long as we are determined to forge ahead and see death as home, It is bound to be able to create a grand plan for a prosperous age and achieve a thousand-year hegemony!"

This is a mutiny, not a rebellion in the true sense, so even if it fails in the end, it will not be involved wantonly. My own life should be able to offset all the crimes. For those seeds, the descendants of the Yuchi family only need to hide and endure, and they will naturally be rich and honored.

Of course Li Zhi understands this truth, but he is still a little unwilling: Why should my fate, Li Zhi, be controlled by heaven?
As long as you do your best and make the most careful calculations, there will be no disadvantages, and then you will be the sky!

Not far away, within the camp of the right guard.

Inside the tent, Yu Chigong let out a long breath after reading the letter sent by his youngest son Yuchi Baohuan. He put the letter paper and envelope close to the candle and lit it. He watched the flames devour the letter paper and envelope before throwing them on the ground. After waiting for it to be burned to ashes, he poured the tea in the teacup on it.

Even if I do something wrong, you can't point your nose at me and blame me, can you?Or you can leave my task to others to see if someone can afford it and do it well, or you can stop acting like this, who doesn't know who?

Li Zhi naturally understood Yuwen Shiji's subtext, and he froze for a moment, but the expression on his face became more and more kind and gentle. He held Yuwen Shiji's hand, and said in a low voice, "How can this king not know that you, Duke Ying, have worked so hard and made great achievements? You are old and strong now, and you are undertaking the most important task, how can others replace you? So I ask you to work tirelessly and work hard for this king, and when the world is settled and the chaos is right in the future, you will retire after success."

As for whether he can re-enter the political path, it depends on whether there are talented juniors, and one cannot force it...

Li Zhi stepped forward two steps quickly, stretched his hands to support Yuwenshi and his shoulders, stopped him from kowtowing, and then helped him up to let him sit on the seat, complaining: "Because of the urgency of the situation, it is difficult for me to control my emotions because of the urgency of the situation." , There was some disrespect in the words, Duke Ying should understand the mood of the king, but where does he put the king in such a kowtow?"

After saying that, he lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground, paused with tears in his eyes.

On the contrary, even if all the tricks are exhausted, it is impossible to escape the failure.

This is also one of the reasons why Yu Chigong's confidence in King Jin is getting less and less. The so-called "the opportunity is not secret, the disaster happens first", such a sieve is like a sieve, and the movement of the army is already in the eyes of the court. It is difficult to win. Like going to heaven.

Of course, King Jin is definitely not an idiot. The reason why he is full of loopholes may be intentional or not...

Seeing Yuchi Gong groaning silently, Su Jia said in a low voice: "Commander, why does the general look at King Jin's mess here, it seems... the atmosphere is not right, could it be that there is internal strife? If so In this way, we'd better think about countermeasures and reserve a way out."

Yu Chigong held the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and frowned: "Don't worry, since the King of Jin dared to attack Chang'an with all his nest, and didn't even leave the slightest retreat, he must be fully prepared, Guanzhong or Chang'an City, There must be an extremely important person who promised to respond with troops at a critical moment, and it is enough to overturn the current situation."
