    As Li Kuo expected, Sun Xiaozhe did not intend to attack Tangzhou City by force.

    "Compared with important towns like Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan, and Fanyang, small towns like Tangzhou are really not worth mentioning.  Even if they can cross Tongbai Mountain and enter the Jianghuai River after conquering Tangzhou, after all, they cannot march in large areas in the mountains, and the marching speed is also greatly restricted.

    The order Sun Xiaozhe received from An Qingxu was to try to hold off the defenders of the Tangzhou generation, so as to gain a large enough advantage for the Suiyang generation's army.  This task may not seem too glorious, but Sun Xiaozhe doesn't care.

    From the moment An Lushan raised his troops from Fan Yang, he adopted the attitude of not seeking merit but seeking no fault.  It was like this when we attacked Luoyang, it was like this when we attacked Shaanxi Province, and it was still like this when we attacked Tongguan.

    Even when it came to leading the army to invade Chang'an City, Sun Xiaozhe left it to Cui Qianyou, who was eager to try, and was willing to assist him.

    This approach seems to be a bit tolerant, but in fact it is a hidden secret, which is wonderful.  An Lushan was suspicious by nature, and he was sometimes suspicious of his most capable general, Shi Siming, who was his sworn brother, let alone an army general like himself who had nothing to do with the overall situation.  If things are done well, that's fine, but if things are done slightly wrong, An Lushan will scold him and he may even be dismissed from office.

    It is not easy for Sun Xiaozhe to reach his current position step by step. He does not want his many years of hard work to be wasted, so he will never be the leader or the most outstanding person.

    ¡°In this way, even if there is a problem, the person who comes out to top the cylinder will be a ¡®good general¡¯ like Cui Qianyou.

    When An Qingxu ascended the throne, Sun Xiaozhe became more determined in his approach.  There are many rumors in the market that the new Emperor of Dayan came to the throne improperly and was suspected of regicide and his father's death.  Although the imperial court has come forward to clarify on many occasions, flies will not bite the untied egg. If An Qingxu really has not done anything that violates his conscience, how could such rumors spread?

    Faced with such a ruthless character who was willing to kill his king and his father to seize power, Sun Xiaozhe felt that he should avoid his edge.

    Isn¡¯t Shi Siming the best example?  He was a powerful figure in the Yan Empire. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was immediately sent back to Fan Yang. Although in order to appease his heart, An Qingxu made Shi Siming Prince, but everyone knew that An Qingxu was deeply suspicious of Shi Siming.  .

    As for generals such as Tian Chengsi, they were more or less jealous of An Qingxu, and some of their military power was deprived of them.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Today's Yan court seems calm, but in fact, there are turbulent undercurrents and dangers.

    And all of this was caused by military advisor Yan Zhuang.

    Sun Xiaozhe once had a chance encounter with this commoner prime minister. The deepest impression he had on him was that the city was extremely deep and he hardly showed any emotion on his face.

    With such a military advisor at his side, An Qingxu could firmly control the generals.  If anyone has second thoughts, it is inevitable that he will not be persecuted by Yan Zhuang, who has vicious eyes.

    Rather than living a life of fear and fear like that young bird, it would be better to be as happy and comfortable as now.

    "Mr. Fang, how are things going?" Sun Xiaozhe put down the document in his hand and asked softly.

    Standing under the stage was a middle-aged man with green eyebrows and handsome eyes wearing a purple robe.  He slightly nodded at Sun Xiaozhe and said Shi Shiran: "Report to the general, everything is under Bucai's control."

    "Oh? Mr. Fang deserves to be my general's Zhang Zifang!" Sun Xiaozhe said with great joy after hearing this: "If this is the case, this Tangzhou City will be destroyed soon, and you will have made a great contribution by then."

    Mr. Fang, however, was neither sad nor happy and said: "Fang doesn't dare to take credit, so he is very happy to be able to share the general's worries."

    Sun Xiaozhe gently stroked his chin and short beard and said: "It is said that a thousand soldiers are easy to get but a general is hard to find. In my opinion, it should be changed. Well, it is said that a thousand scholars are easy to get but a talent is hard to find."

    Mr. Fang took out a document from his sleeve and presented it to Sun Xiaozhe respectfully: "This is the document I wrote to Emperor Tang. It is said that Emperor Tang was very angry after reading it and classified Li Kuo as a traitor and traitor."

    Sun Xiaozhe glanced at the document roughly, frowned and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Fang's document is really very cruel. If someone were the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he would be furious after reading it."

    Sun Xiaozhe slowly put down the memorial and said, "However, if this man had not received great favor from Li Kuo, how could he agree to your request, sir, and write this document?"

    Mr. Fang smiled lightly and said, "As you just said, this man received great favor from Li Kuo, so he has always been grateful to Li Kuo." After a pause, Mr. Fang continued: "To such a person  As long as you give him greater favor, he will throw himself into your arms without hesitation, and he will not forget to bite his former master hard to show his loyalty to you."

      Sun Xiaozhe was dumbfounded for a moment: "I'm afraid that such a person will be a disaster wherever he is placed, and he cannot be allowed to stay."

    Mr. Fang hesitated for a moment: "General, please rest assured. Even if Li Kuo wants to keep this person, I will not keep him."

    Sun Xiaozhe breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "But are you sure that Li Kuo will turn against the Emperor of Tang? It is said that his family has been a minister of the Tang Dynasty for generations. Although it has become a bit ruined in his generation, he has always thought of himself as noble, and I am afraid it will not be easy for him to join our team.  .¡±

    Mr. Fang grinned slightly and said: "That letter alone cannot make Li Kuo and Emperor Tang turn against each other. After all, the fire has just been ignited and it is not strong enough. But what if we pour a basin of tung oil on the open fire?"

    Sun Xiaozhe was surprised and said: "It turns out that Mr. Fang has a plan for a long time, but he just doesn't know what this pot of tung oil is?"

    Mr. Fang smiled slightly, shook his head and whispered: "This tung oil is naturally strong and pure poison. Only in this way can it force people to set fire to their bodies. First, they will sweat profusely, and smoke will rise until their bodies are burned. General Sun  Do we know that Li Kuo¡¯s confidant Zhang Yanji has been recalled by Emperor Tang from Anxi in the name of reporting on his duties?¡±

    When Sun Xiaozhe heard this, he woke up like a dream. He patted his head and laughed and said: "So that's it, that's it! Mr. Fang added this pot of tung oil wonderfully. It's wonderful. Now Emperor Tang was angry, and through Mr. Fang  It is impossible to light this fire and add fuel to this pot without doing something stupid. In this way, with Li Kuo's temperament, he will definitely not kill at the slightest provocation, and he is likely to be at odds with Emperor Tang. As long as he does not do anything for  Emperor Tang worked hard to achieve independence, which is a great blessing for us and Dayan."

    Those who plan high will act accordingly, those who plan mid-level will act accordingly, and those who plan low will act accordingly.

    For a person of Fang Jie¡¯s status, the most important thing to do is to use his ingenuity to eradicate Li Kuo, the biggest threat for his master Sun Xiaozhe.

    He originally listed the top, middle and bottom strategies and dedicated them to Sun Xiaozhe. The top strategy was to cooperate with the horse thieves to kill Li Kuo on his way back. The middle strategy was to forcefully attack Tangzhou City before Li Kuo returned, trying to seize Li Kuo's three pieces.  The base area completely uprooted Li Kuo's influence in Nanyang, Tangzhou.  The next best thing to do was to drive a wedge between Emperor Tang and Li Kuo and kill someone with a borrowed knife.

    Sun Xiaozhe chose this last resort without hesitation, which is really disappointing.  Killing with a borrowed knife is certainly a clever trick, but it also depends on the situation. Although they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight without having to come forward, it is likely to force Li Kuo to completely oppose the Yan Kingdom and make him independent.

    Is it more terrifying to be a Li Kuo who is willing to make swords for the Tang Dynasty, or to be a Li Kuo who supports his own troops?  This question needs no answer at all!

    Sun Xiaozhe only cared about preserving his own strength, but he didn't know that doing so would be harmful to the struggle between the Yan Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty for hegemony.  If this young tiger is allowed to fully mature, the threat he poses may not be worse than that of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi who are currently in the limelight!

    Sun Xiaozhe is so selfish!

    Fang Jie let out a long sigh, took out a stack of Huzhou Shengxuan and started grinding it.  Sometimes life is like a blank piece of paper and you never know what will be written on it.  This world is not always clear and white, and it would be a bit pretentious to insist on making a clear distinction.

    "It's not scary to be hypocritical. What's scary is that you don't know it if you are hypocritical. Such people will become dead sooner or later."

    Fang Jie is a hypocritical person, but the important thing is to know yourself.

    People who are self-aware can always turn danger into safety and survive in troubled times.

    No matter how good the raw rice paper is, it will have flaws if it is stained with ink, and it will no longer be as beautiful as it was at the beginning.  After his own operation, Li Kuo would no longer be able to reconcile with the Tang Emperor. He only killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight losses. After this incident, Sun Xiaozhe was the one who suffered the most.

    I can¡¯t stay by his side any longer!

    After some thinking, Fang Jie finally made up his mind.

    He sighed deeply, gently picked up the wolf brush and dipped it in the ink, and then swung the brush. In a moment, the brush moved like a dragon and a snake, and the river moved beautifully. In a short time, it was completed with one swipe.

    Fang Jie carefully reviewed the manuscript. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded slightly, folded it and put it into an envelope, and sealed it with wax.

    "I would like to offer my sincere thanks to you, the mountain man, but please ask General Wuwei to give it to you personally!" (Note 1)

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    Note 1: General Wuwei was the title given to his general Tian Chengsi after An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

    PS: Everyone, guess who the whistleblower and framer is, so I can take a look at what I wrote. Hehe, there is definitely information below.
