Sun Tonglin drank a few glasses of wine, looked up at Sheng Zhonghuai with a blushing face: "This is Taizu's lifelong hard work. Isn't it a pity to give up like this?"

Sheng Zhonghuai sneered: "Shuai Zhu shouldn't have been rushing to proclaim himself emperor at the time. He became known to the public. Just like Zhang Zhongwu, the rafters that were outstretched always rotten first. Look at Li Ze, now he is unique in power and overwhelming all the heroes. It's natural for him to proclaim himself emperor, but did he do this? On the contrary, he first carried Li Yan as a clay Buddha, and now he offered up a high-level Li Ke who was unknown to the truth. He was not anxious or irritated, and he took every step forward. The methods were so brilliant that it was amazing!"

"Li Ze cannot be a descendant of the Qin King!" Sun Tonglin said angrily.

"Is there anything to do with whether Li Ke is real?" Sheng Zhonghuai laughed: "What's more, they're doing it without any leakage, and all the evidence is complete. You know he is fake, but most people believe he is real, that's enough."

Sun Tonglin sighed and picked up the wine glass again, but was stopped by Sheng Zhonghuai. "This is a strong wine produced in the North. If you drink it like this, you will get drunk."

"How can I relieve my worries? Only Du Kanger!" Sun Tonglin said depressedly. "Li Ze, although I don't want to say I admire you, I have to admire you."

"This person has now confirmed his identity. He is a genuine Li Tang royal family and a strong and powerful family. You must know that the King of Qin was the only hero who created the Tang Dynasty. With this halo, Li Ke will abdicate and he will take the supreme position. This will be a natural result. No one can speak. Because that is the family affairs of Li Tang." Sheng Zhonghuai said.

"It may not be possible that everything you want." Sun Tonglin said ruthlessly: "Even now, even if he is powerful, he is only half of the country. If he really wants to make people and wealth, he may not be stronger than the south."

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "This is the key to the problem. If Li Ze unifies the world, no one of us, and those in Jiangnan, can end up with a good ending. Just looking at the policies he has implemented in the North, it can be seen that it is too harsh for a family like ours. So there is only one way to unite and defeat him."

"Of course there is no problem with union, but why do you have to go to the imperial title?" Sun Tonglin reluctantly.

Sheng Zhonghuai looked at Sun Tonglin with some contempt. Although the other party could also be called a wise man, he was still obsessed with greed and blinded by the surface halo and could not see the most fundamental problem inside.

"Who will be the first to collapse in the current situation? There is no doubt that the first one to fall must be Daliang!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The Southern Alliance launched an attack on Li Ze, but this will not shake Li Ze's determination to take Chang'an first and destroy Daliang." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Regaining Chang'an has greater political significance for him, and he is completely acceptable to the losses in other places under the achievement of this goal. Because even if the Southern Alliance succeeds, it will not harm Li Ze's fundamental interests."

"If the south sits and watches us fail, there will be no benefit for them! If they are united, they will benefit from each other, and if they are divided, they will suffer two defeats!" Sun Tonglin argued: "I believe they will not see this."

"Don't forget that Daliang entered Chang'an and snatched the throne of Li Tang." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Do you think the Guangzhou court, which is also under the orthodox banner of the Tang Dynasty, will recognize Daliang? Even if you understand this in your heart, you will never support you in your actions. Li Ze defeated you and might be in line with their wishes. Xiang Xun is full of confidence and is about to fight against Li Ze!"

"so?"

"So, the only way for the Third Prince is to go to the imperial title, pay tribute to the Guangzhou court, support the Guangzhou court as orthodox, and denounce Li Ke as falsehood. In this way, the Guangzhou court can truly accept you. Because Daliang's approach has a great influence on politics for them and will help them win the will of the people. Do you also read the Tang Weekly? Over the past period of time, the Guangzhou court has lost a lot in the struggle for the people's will. If the Third Prince's move is down, it will undoubtedly be a timely help for them!" Sheng Zhonghuai analyzed.

Sun Tonglin was convinced by Sheng Zhonghuai's analysis.

"But even so, how can the Guangzhou court support us? Now we are almost completely isolated by the Wuyi army. The only possibility is your support, but now the weather?"

Sheng Zhonghuai poured a glass of wine and took a sip.

"Go to the emperor and give in to Guangzhou. This is the first point, the second point, give up Chang'an and exit from Guanzhong!"

With a clang, the wine glass in Sun Tonglin's hand fell on the table, and the wine was spilled everywhere, and the wine was filled with fragrance.

"What a pity, this wine is really not cheap!" Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head and said.

"I think Your Majesty may accept it when he goes to the Emperor's title, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not accept it at all." Sun Tonglin said: "Without Guanzhong, Chang'an, what is left of Your Majesty?"

"The army left in your hands." Sheng Zhonghuai said, "Li Ze said something, and Sheng deeply agreed. Losing land and saving people, losing people, losing people, losing land, losing people, losing people, losing people, losing people, losing people. Brother Sun, I ask you, don't give up Chang'an, is the third prince planning to fight Li Ze in Chang'an? Even with the determination to fight to the death, the question is whether he can beat Li Ze? What will the final result? Losing people and land and you can get nothing. There is an army and hope of making a comeback. Without the army, what will the third prince be left? A common man can take his life!"

"Where will Your Majesty go after exiting Guanzhong?" Sun Tonglin said tremblingly.

"Get out of Qinling Mountains and go to Yizhou!" Sheng Zhonghuai said with a smile: "Brother Sun came to Hanzhong, didn't he just want to convince me to surrender to the Third Highness?"

"So, Brother Sheng is willing to cooperate with us?" Sun Tonglin said.

"As long as the Third Highness is willing to do what I say, I will naturally be willing to cooperate with the Third Highness." Sheng Zhonghuai said with a smile.

"That second prince?"

"I can lure the Second Highness to Hanzhong." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "But I hope that the Third Highness will take action before this. Because with my reputation, if I kill the Second Highness, I will not be able to control the Second Highness's army at that time. Yizhou will inevitably be in chaos. Although I will die without a place to bury it, it will be impossible for the Third Highness to take over Yizhou in full."

Sun Tonglin looked at Sheng Zhonghuai, understood what the other party meant, and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai with some disbelief: "What do you mean is that your Majesty wants you to come to you first?"

"If this is not the case, you can take over Yizhou peacefully!" Sheng Zhonghuai nodded affirmatively: "A considerable number of the Second Highness's command are veterans and veterans of Xuanwu back then. These people must not look down on me, and they even have resentment towards me because I got the Hanzhong place. If the Second Highness dies, who can control them? Only the Third Highness. Yizhou is now nominally still in the Daliang area, and the Third Highness is the only seedling of the second generation of the Zhu family at that time."

"It's cold and the mountains are covered with heavy snow. How can Your Majesty come?" Sun Tonglin shook his head and said.

"Those who have ambition will succeed." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "If you want to accomplish great things, how can you not suffer from great trouble? I think the Third Highness can recover from such a big blow back then. This matter should not be difficult for him. Not to mention that the Qinling Mountains are now covered with heavy snow, and even the sea of ​​swords and fires. In order to find a way out, the Third Highness will also come."

Sun Tonglin bit his lip and didn't know how to respond.

Although the weather is cold and the snow covers the mountains, it has caused great difficulties, but it has to be said that as long as you are willing to take risks, you can always find a way out. The problem is that if Zhu Youzhen really rides lightly to Hanzhong and Sheng Zhonghuai turns his back, then Zhu Youzhen will really fall into the trap and will never be able to recover, and there will be no chance at all.

You should know that Sheng Zhonghuai is Zhu Youyu's most confidant subordinate and his closest friend. When Zhu Youzhen's army attacked Chang'an and Zhu Youyu was killed by Xu Fu, Sheng Zhonghuai led the remaining troops out of Shengtian in an impossible situation and took away the children of Dai Shu and Zhu Youyu, which shows his loyalty to Zhu Youyu.

What if this entire plan is Sheng Zhonghuai's trap of revenge?

"I know you can't have such an idea, so I suggest you set off and return to Chang'an immediately and tell your advice to the Third Highness. If you listen or not, let the Third Highness choose. I just want to say that in a month, I will find a way to let the Second Highness appear in Hanzhong. If the Third Highness does not appear in Hanzhong, then don't mention everything!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The Third Highness can only wash his neck in Chang'an and wait for Li Ze to chop him. Once Li Ze's army takes Tongguan and enters Chang'an, it will not be so easy for the Third Highness to lead the main force out of Guanzhong. No one will welcome him alone, and no one will accept him."

"There are still tens of thousands of troops in Tongguan and 100,000 troops in Chang'an. Is it really unbearable to fight?" Sun Tonglin said in pain.

"After Changyuan is defeated, Hulao is defeated again, the elite Liang army has lost half of the losses. The last elite in Chang'an is the only small amount of capital for the third prince. What remains are just a mob, vulnerable!" Sheng Zhonghuai said coldly: "It is very easy to choose."

Sun Tonglin gritted his teeth, stood up, bowed and said, "Since that's the case, I will set off to return to Chang'an immediately. Please ask Brother Sheng to prepare horses and supplies for me."

"These things have been prepared long ago." Sheng Zhonghuai nodded. "The faster the better. I think under the current situation, Li Ze will definitely speed up the attack. Only by quickly ending the war against Daliang can he free up his hands to deal with Xiang Xun and avoid suffering greater losses on other battlefields."

Sun Tonglin stopped talking and turned around and strode away.
