"Wensheng, this time, I'm afraid that you didn't come to see me by the way, but came to see me on purpose, right?"
Su Dawei smiled.He raised his glass to An Wensheng.The two of them touched their glasses slightly, made a soft jingling sound, and took a sip at the same time.There is no need to say anything more.No denial, that's the answer.There are some things that don't need to be said so thoroughly, just understand them in your heart.The two did not continue to talk about the abolition, but as if they had forgotten about it, they chatted about something else, said some business and some interesting stories about Chang'an West City.After a while, An Wensheng asked casually: "By the way, Ami, do you know who will benefit from the court after the eldest grandson Wuji loses power?"
”"What's so hard about that?"
Su Dawei smiled: "Before I went out with the army, I heard that His Majesty set up a family banquet to invite the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and at that time there was the intention of abolishing the queen, but Chu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji resolutely opposed it, so I did it."
Later, I heard that there was Li Yifu, a scholar from Zhongshu, and there were ministers such as Xu Jingzong, Cui Yixuan, and Yuan Gongyu who supported His Majesty, so it was obvious. ”Su Dawei didn't continue, but the meaning had already been conveyed.Like Li Yifu and others, although their family background is also more than that of ordinary people, compared with the Guanlong nobles and Shandong Wang clan in the past, it can be said that they have no roots, and they can be described as poor.It is precisely because of the support of these upstarts that Li Zhi has been given the confidence to implement his wrists and change the day.Now that the old aristocracy has fallen, then these nouveau riche who are standing beside Li Zhi and waving their flags and shouting, the opportunity has come.An Wensheng looked at Su Dawei in some surprise, and sighed: "Ami, I really didn't expect it, Shibei was impressed in three days, is this still the Ami I know?"
The army really trains people. ”"Get out!"
Su Dawei scolded, then touched his nose and smiled: "What three days, we've known each other for five or six years, really I can't learn?"
I am surrounded by people like you, who talk to me about people's hearts and big things every day, and no matter how stupid I am, I will become smarter. ”"How can you say that about yourself."
An Wensheng smiled, raised his wine glass, and said seriously: "Ami, in fact, you are very strong. ”"Wensheng, are you complimenting me?
You're so cheesy now, you don't look like you anymore. ”Su Dawei clinked glasses with him again."
It's not a compliment, it's a fact."
An Wensheng took a sip and continued: "In such a complicated situation, it is not powerful to be able to bet on the Empress Wu at a glance?"
”"It's luck."
Speaking of luck, Su Dawei was a little weak-hearted.This is luck, this is my brother's strength.Isn't foresight strength?"
Luck is also a part of strength, not to mention, what you have is far from luck."
An Wensheng shook his head: "You are doing well, and the business is even better, I don't know where you got so many wonderful ideas, I think ......"
He paused: "Maybe we can cooperate more in business next year." ”"That's exactly what I mean."
Su Dawei drank the wine dry in one gulp, and turned the wine glass upside down on the table: "The wine is finished, business matters, when I return to Chang'an, let's discuss it well." ”"Okay."
An Wensheng's eyes lit up, he let out a long laugh, and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.He learned from Su Dawei to put the wine glass upside down on the table, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, Ami, do you need my help here?"
”"Help, what's the help?"
Su Dawei glanced at him in some surprise, and suddenly came to his senses: "You won't, Lao An, the former Chang'an is not handsome, I pretend to be the first person in the Tang Dynasty, you don't want to be my personal bodyguard, right?"
It's too much for you. ”"What are you talking about?"
An Wensheng was a little stunned by Su Dawei's new words, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood the meaning, and said with some annoyance: "Immediately there will be a fierce battle between the Tang Army and the Western Turks, I am afraid that something will happen to you." ”"I know."
Su Dawei looked at him with a smile.On behalf of An's, An Wensheng expressed his intention to expand cooperation and form a strategic partnership.Then I asked myself if I wanted to help and let the son of the An family be a personal bodyguard, which was an additional investment.What a big face.However, it's probably more because I'm worried about Su Dawei's accident, right?
In this situation, as long as Su Dawei is alive and returns to Chang'an, it will be a great creation of the An family.If Su Dawei dies on the battlefield, some people in the An family are afraid that they will go crazy.It can even be said unceremoniously that at this moment, Su Dawei's life is more important to the An family than An Wensheng himself.If necessary, An Wensheng would even give up his life to protect Su Dawei.This is the real subtext under Fang Cai's words.Thinking about this, Su Dawei just wanted to shake his head and sigh.Under the general trend, who can be truly free and detached, unless they go to the mountains to be a wild man.Oh yes, Xue Wanche tried it before becoming a savage.In the end, he was recruited by the imperial court to serve as a minister.As a result, in the case of Fang's bereavement, the good head was still not saved.In this world, no one can be truly free.An Wensheng can't, himself, but it's difficult.Let's go with the flow.After a change of thought, he nodded to An Wensheng, who was waiting for his reply, and said, "If you don't want to be troublesome, just stay by my side, and I'll get you a scout name to hang on." ”The dignified son in law ran thousands of miles to the Jinshan Mountain Range, where birds don't, and offered to be Su Dawei's bodyguard, but he was afraid that Su Dawei would not agree.Now Su Dawei nodded, and a smile suddenly appeared on An Wensheng's solemn face.He patted the table: "Okay, that's it." ”After speaking, he looked at Su Dawei, thought about it and said, "Ami, do you have any thoughts on the next big battle?"
”"How do you ask this, how do you want me to answer it?"
Su Dawei was quite speechless."
It's not always what the chief manager commands, but what we do.""
And what if the chief doesn't want to fight?""
Huh?"
Su Dawei frowned: "What do you mean?"
”An Wensheng didn't answer, his hands were folded in his sleeves, and he smiled silently.At this moment, the pretending criminals from the past returned.You ask, you come and ask me, I beg you to tell you.Su Dawei pursed his lips and didn't ask, but thought about it.An Wensheng can't get this thing for no reason, there must be his reasons.So, what did he mean by that?
Cheng Zhijie doesn't want to fight?
As the general manager of the Tang Dynasty's expedition to the Western Turks, he doesn't want to fight?
What is the rationale for this?
No matter how you think about it, I think it's a fart sentence.But......
Su Dawei glanced up at An Wensheng, who was there with the old god.It suddenly occurred to me that war is an extension of politics, and politics is a continuation of interests.So, will it not be in the interests of Cheng Zhijie to fight the Western Turks this time?
Thinking along this line of thought, Su Dawei opened his mouth in surprise, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start for a while.An Wensheng, the evil thief, actually guided my train of thought in this way, which is simply like "I am not teaching you to cheat, I just let you understand human nature better".Ya, isn't that what happened in the later generations of "Thick Black Studies"?
If you want to understand the meaning of An Wensheng's words, you must first understand what benefits this expedition to the Western Turks will be beneficial to Cheng Zhijie?
Su Dawei thought about it carefully and found that ......
There is no benefit.With Cheng Zhijie's current identity as Lu Guogong, his status and influence in the army, if he wins, he should win, and if he loses, it will be over.He is different from Su Dingfang.Su Dingfang was hidden by Taizong and deliberately left a sharp sword for Li Zhi.So Su Dingfang should want to fight very much, and he needs a big victory to prove himself.As for Cheng Zhijie, he doesn't have this need at all.Won, what if you win?
Above the national prince, what else can be sealed?
I'm afraid that the credit is too great, but the merit is too high.Didn't you see that after the military god Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, he always claimed that he was sick and never paid attention to the government.When you become a general, when you reach this status, you must know how to protect yourself.And Cheng Zhijie has always been regarded as a very shrewd accident, a wise general who knows how to stand and retreat.It's not a joke, Cheng Zhijie is really smart.He may not be the most brilliant general around Taizong, but when it comes to shrewdness, knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to stand in line, among the famous generals of the Taizong Dynasty, only Li Jing can be compared.Li Jing is certainly wise and wise to protect himself.It's a pity that the title of the god of war is too dazzling, and the achievement of destroying the Eastern Turks in World War I shocked the past and the present.No matter how low-key he pretended, he was still as bright as the stars in the dark night.Can't hide.And Cheng Zhijie is really a living legend.It is in response to that sentence: those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.In the sixth year of the Sui Dynasty, thieves swarmed.Cheng Yanjin organized an armed force of hundreds of people to defend the township.Later, it was attached to Li Mi of Wagang Village, and was reused, and was one of the four hussars of the Wagang Army.In the second year of Wude, because of his contempt for Wang Shichong's deceit, Cheng Biting Jin persuaded Qin Qiong to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the battle array, but Wang Shichong did not dare to chase after him.Li Yuan ordered Cheng Yanjin and others to serve Li Shimin, the king of Qin.Li Shimin named Qin Qiong as the commander of the Ma Army, and Cheng Yanjin as the commander of the third army on the left.After that, Cheng Biting Jin followed Li Shimin, defeated Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, Wang Shiqi first, and led the commander of the left horse army.In the seventh year of Wude, in order to divide the power of the king of Qin, the crown prince proposed to Li Yuan that he would send Cheng Yanjin to serve as the assassin of Kangzhou.is probably the position where Chu Suiliang was demoted this time.Cheng Yanjin told Li Shimin: The king has been removed from his right-hand man, if he wants to keep himself safe for a long time, can he do it?
Zhijie is just dead, and he doesn't dare to leave the king's side.By the way, at that time, he had changed his name to Cheng Zhijie.In the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, and Cheng Zhijie also participated in it.After the change of Xuanwu Gate, worship the right guard rate of the prince, move the right general of Wuwei, and enjoy the actual seal of 700 households.In the Zhenguan period, he first authorized the military of Lu, Rong and Rong to supervise the three states, and the history of Huzhou was assassinated, and the rebellion of the fangs was suppressed.Later, he worshiped the general of the left leading army, inspected the governor of Yuanzhou and the prince of Puguo.Later, it was relocated to Lu Guogong, with 700 households of real food, and its descendants inherited it from generation to generation.Soon, he also made the governor of the festival, You, Yi, Tan, Ping, Yan, and Fei, and the military of the six states sealed the history of Youzhou.In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, he was listed as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, ranking nineteenth.In the same year, Cheng Zhijie was transferred to the general of Zuotunwei and inspected the garrison at the north gate of Miyagi.In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, he was named the general of the town army.In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Taizong died, and Cheng Zhijie led the flying cavalry army from Cuiwei Palace, personally escorted the crown prince Li Zhi to return to the throne, and guarded outside the Zuo Yanming Gate for three months.Such a resume, such qualifications.His credit is enough.The extremes of things must be reversed, and the full moon is lacking.The same is true of ancient and modern times.()
