Chapter 1319 Help Whoever Wins
"Danggui, Danggui, this Cao Zheng..."
In Yingtian City, Li Tonghai played with the medicinal herbs.
This was the second time Cao Zheng sent him medicine. Both times, he sent the same thing, but the meaning inside was completely different.
The last time, when Huang Tiandao was in turmoil, Cao Zheng sent medicine to persuade him to surrender. Even if he didn't surrender at that time, there was this foreshadowing, and then Huang Tianshi failed. If Cao Zheng came to recruit again, he would always have more feelings.
But this time, it was the Yingtian army, which was unstoppable. Although the army was only 600,000, according to the rules of this era, it could be called a million.
A million troops came out of the Southern Wilderness!
How magnificent!
At this time, Cao Zheng sent it again, but it was not to persuade him to surrender, but to surrender.
"Wenxuan, what do you think?!"
Li Tonghai put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and asked suddenly.
Besides him, there is another young man in this study room. This man is called Shen Wenxuan. He is a talented person that Li Tonghai discovered when he went to Wangyue County for inspection two years ago.
Later, Li Tonghai tested him and found that although this man was born in a humble family, he was extremely intelligent. More importantly, he was upright and had a spirit of self-improvement. Therefore, Li Tonghai accepted Shen Qing as his student and gave him the courtesy name Wenxuan, which is Shen Wenxuan.
In the following two years, Shen Wenxuan did not disappoint Li Tonghai. He was not only studious, but also quick-witted in the face of things. He could often come up with different opinions from ordinary people. Therefore, from half a year ago, Li Tonghai simply brought Shen Wenxuan with him, and taught him by example.
"This matter may be two points fraudulent, and eight points may be true."
Shen Wenxuan thought for a while before speaking slowly.
Two years ago, although Shen Wenxuan was smart, he was not calm enough. Now, he has developed a calm temperament like a rock.
Seeing his student acting like this, Li Tonghai nodded secretly in his heart. In this life, he has also accepted many students, but none of them can make him as satisfied as Shen Wenxuan.
He trained Shen Wenxuan, on the one hand, because he admired this young man, and on the other hand, for the sake of great cause. Although the new country is very prosperous now, if he dies, there will be no one among the civil servants who can carry the tripod.
Although he is in good health now, in fact, he is already in his fifties. It is said that people are rare to live to seventy. He has been fighting with the army for many years, and he may not live to seventy.
As for the future, if the new country occupies Shenzhou, it will no longer be a king in one place, but an empire, but the route of the new country will not be the same as before. The old scholars of this era can be used, but cannot be reused, otherwise there will be chaos in the future.
If you want the country to be stable, the subsequent power center must be selected from young people who have received new education.
As for his own son, except for the throne and the throne, no matter how big the official is, there is no saying that the father dies and the son inherits.
Even if the emperor is not afraid, there are few cases of tiger fathers and tiger sons in this world, and most of them are tiger fathers and dog sons.
Li Tonghai has three sons and two daughters, one of whom is already married. Needless to say, one of the three sons died in battle, and there are still two. But the remaining two, if you let them govern a county, they can definitely govern it in an orderly manner, but if you let them govern a state, it will not work, and they will definitely make all kinds of mistakes. If they govern a country, they will die.
So after recognizing this point, Li Tonghai made it clear to his two sons early. His two sons are not stupid, but also very smart. After all, being able to govern a county well has surpassed many people.
Rather than making mistakes and being doomed, it is better to manage the small family well. With the merit of following the dragon, the Li family will be rich.
"Oh! Where is the two points? Where is the eight points?!"
Li Tonghai continued to ask, but it was a test.
"As the saying goes, all is fair in war, and nothing is absolute, so there are two points."
"As for the remaining eight points, it is Cao Zheng, who is more powerful than a hero and can bend and stretch. If he is strong enough, he will dominate the world, but if he is not strong enough, he will help whoever is strong. When he was young, he might still have justice and morality in his heart, but now he will only stand on the side of the winner."
"If my Daxin is always strong, then Cao Zheng will be a capable person in governing the world, but if Daxin is weak, he will be a hero in troubled times."
"And now, his so-called surrender is just paving the way in advance. This time, my Yingtian army will break through the sky. If everything goes well, he will turn against us, but if he is frustrated or even loses, Cao Zheng will definitely turn his face and deny it, shouting that this is our strategy to sow discord."
"Good! Good!"
"Your analysis is well-reasoned and you have seen through Cao Zheng."
"However, you still overlooked one point, which is the impact of the World-Destroying Thunder."
"When the World-Destroying Thunder exploded, you were far away in the Southern Wilderness, so you didn't see it, but Cao Zheng saw it with his own eyes, and after returning home, he had nightmares for several months."
"You should have seen this file."
"Cao Zheng is a bold man, brave and fearless, bold and careful, but the more daring a person is, once his defense is broken, the shadow will remain forever."
"This matter can be reported to the king. If this person is in the army to coordinate, the loss of the Yingtian Army can be reduced by at least 10%, and the time to break the city can be shortened by half."
While talking, Li Tonghai was already writing and drawing on a small piece of paper, but the content on it was not text, but a special symbol.
This was a secret text created by Zhao Cheng. It was very difficult to master, but once mastered, it could convey the content of more than a hundred words with a dozen symbols. It could be said that this was a very primitive information compression technology.
And if you haven't learned this thing systematically, it would be almost impossible to decipher it.
After that, Li Tonghai directly put the paper into a sealed small tube made of iron sheet, and then tied it to a flying bird that was somewhat similar to an eagle.
This flying bird was originally a huge pigeon, but after Zhao Cheng used Taoist magic to modulate it, it did mutate. It was not only extremely fast, but also had long endurance. It could fly thousands of miles in a day and night.
Not only that, its sense of smell was specially enhanced, and it was extremely sensitive to a special spice, and it could trace the past through the residual traces of the spice.
He has integrated the fruits of the Tao of the five great immortals, and possesses two extraordinary characteristics, namely, the Daluo characteristics and the realm of Tao. In addition, his original status has been contaminated by demons. The constraints of this world on Zhao Cheng are becoming less and less.
