Hearing Li Tai’s decision, the other subordinates of the General Administration did not say much. Instead, they all looked expectant and were just waiting for the general to issue specific tasks to them.
But Changsun Jian frowned after hearing this, and was silent for a while before speaking again: “Since the general has made this decision, he dare not question his humble position. Just ask the general. Foreign enemies must indeed be investigated, and internal worries must be observed. Jingfu has made many achievements, and many people in the country are envious. The general has been the first to make contributions in recent years, and many of them have secretly discussed the prosperity and prosperity.
The troubles of the Eastern thieves have been around for a long time, and even the King Yuwen needs to temporarily avoid the edge and accumulate strength. His army is definitely not a weak brigade, and the leader of the thief is also a light and impatient person. If he fights rashly, he may not be able to decide the victory or defeat in a short time. At that time, the soldiers of our Jingfu are all burdened by the thief army, and they may not be able to make any plans. Liang’s country will perish and it will be difficult for heaven to survive. Once our army is trapped in Huainan, the Chinese and foreign governments will probably send another one…”
“Random! I have decided, who dares to advise again? Although the Eastern thief is strong, it is not my enemy. It is easy to defeat it. The previous incident has been proven repeatedly. The Changsun Jian will not be exaggerated, but don’t ask about anything else!”
Hearing Changsun Jian’s advice, Li Tai’s face suddenly darkened, and he slapped the table and shouted angrily: “What’s more, King Yuwen has already told me about the Southeast that I have arbitrarily. Whether to conquer the Southern Kingdom is naturally within it. When I defeat the Eastern thief, it is not too late to return to Liang Kingdom!”
Seeing that Li Tai was still stubborn, Changsun Jian could only close his mouth obediently, and at the same time sighed in his heart that although General Li seemed polite and willing to accept advice in his daily life, he still showed a stubborn and conceited side when he really made decisions in major matters and could not tolerate other opinions.
But it is no wonder that he has achieved such a success at such an age. If it were others, he would be even more arrogant. Changsun Jian also knew that in General Li’s eyes, he was still the eyes and ears of the Chinese and foreign governments, and he would definitely be reserved when he decided on major events and refused to believe them completely. Although his advice was not out of selfishness, it was still difficult to gain trust.
However, Changsun Jian didn’t know that although Li Tai was furious on the surface, he had actually changed his mind slightly.
His words were considered from the perspective of the General Administration Office. Whether he was really interested in the General Administration Office, or was worried that the Chinese and foreign governments would send other personnel to attack Liang, he might also undermine the power of the military chief. At least this attitude is worthy of urgency, and he can distinguish between inside and outside.
In fact, when the ministers’ reputation and status reach a certain level, it becomes a bit difficult for the superiors to control. Because what supports them to maintain this position is the power and merits they have, not the grace of the superiors.
Some of the plots and logics of the “Ming Dynasty” that were hailed as the top power struggle in later generations cannot be explained in this medieval society.
Because the political logic of the two is completely different, let alone the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms,Even during the reunification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the officials’ atmosphere was very different from that of the professional bureaucrats who had already been extremely tamed in later generations. Especially at the moment, if you want to work hard with me, I will save you and avoid detours for more than ten years!
Changsun Jian was indeed Yuwen Tai’s confidant to some extent, and Yuwen Tai had indeed come before, saying that he had checked and balanced the Jingzhou General Administration. But in addition to Yuwen Tai’s confidant, Changsun Jian certainly also has his own political pursuits and is not willing to be just a lucky person.
On this point, Li Tai and Changsun Jian actually have similarities in their mentality. He is also unwilling to be Yuwen Tai’s little baby, but his pursuit is bigger than Changsun Jian’s.
In the face of the important incident of conquering Nanliang, Changsun Jian’s attitude naturally stood on the standpoint that was in line with the interests of the General Administration, and told Li Tai without any concealment that someone in the country was waiting for you to make a mistake and replace him.
After all, in the Jingzhou Military Mansion, Li Tai’s eldest and Changsun Jian are the second ones, which is a certain relationship. In addition, whoever sends other Chinese and foreign governments will add some variables to the determined personnel. This variable is a bad thing for Changsun Jian, unless he is promoted to the chief general of the Liang Dynasty on the spot, of course this is impossible.
The questions raised by Changsun Jian are indeed very pertinent. No matter how Li Tai’s previous record is, it is undeniable that Northern Qi is the country with the strongest military strength among the three countries at present, and this advantage will last for a long time.
Lord Qi Gao Yang is a guy who is used to chasing chickens and dogs. If he doesn’t kick the stone on the road, he will not be able to get through this day. It’s not that easy to provoke such people if you want to withdraw! It is very easy to start a war with Northern Qi in Huainan, but it is hard to say when it will end.
Normally, it is not wrong to think so. However, using normal thinking to consider the game with the Northern Qi Dynasty, this idea is not normal.
First of all, Huainan does not fall within the core interests of Northern Qi, especially the nobles of Jinyang did not have any strong interest demands here. Therefore, the Jinyang soldiers, as the main force of the Northern Qi military, were not very active in fighting in Huainan.
In history, the Northern Qi used troops to target the Huainan area, mainly the Guandong clan and the Hebei tyrants as generals, and the consumption of Hou Jing’s remnants and surrendered people in the Southern Dynasties. Although the Jinyang nobles served as chief generals, they were not many, and the scale of the battle was often not large.
