Chapter 883

He did not mention being captured by Wang Xuance, nor did he say he was saved by Xuanzang.

He attributed everything to his own cleverness.

Zhangsun Wuji was even somewhat pleasantly surprised after hearing Bianji's experience.

This was not only a talented person!

He was also blessed with great fortune!

Someone like him, who had ability and good fortune, was extremely rare. With Bianji joining, why worry about not accomplishing great things?

"Master Bianji, now that you have escaped back to Great Tang, what are your plans?"

Speaking of this, Bianji gritted his teeth in hatred.

The old scars were reopened, and the bloody wounds were exposed.

"Great Qin is too bullying, using tricks to defeat my army! It's a pity my three thousand elephant troops didn't even have a chance to exert their combat power before they became the enemy's sharp blades, striking at the heads of my own soldiers!

I must avenge the shame of this defeat!"

Zhangsun Wuji thought to himself, you didn't just suffer one defeat; it was two, three, and eventually a total collapse!

But he could not slap Bianji in the face in front of others.

He himself had suffered losses at the hands of Qin Mu time and time again.

Now, they had to stabilize themselves and slowly look for an opportunity for revenge.

They could not act rashly again.

"But Great Tang cannot go to war with Great Qin in the short term; Great Tang cannot afford it.

If you return to Great Tang, there will be no troops for you to lead. How do you intend to take revenge?"

Bianji suddenly gave a sinister laugh, the eerie smile looking incredibly ferocious on his face.

"Lord Zhangsun, the people of Harsha will not submit to Great Qin so easily.

With my prestige in the Harsha Empire and my understanding of the Harsha people, I am fully confident that I can incite constant uprisings within the country."

Uprisings?

Zhangsun Wuji frowned.

"But you have nothing now; what will you use to start an uprising? Did you return to Great Tang to ask for money?"

According to Zhangsun Wuji's thinking, Bianji must have returned to Great Tang to seek support.

Without external support, he couldn't stir up anything in the Harsha Empire.

Moreover, in his current state as a stray dog, what kind of uprising could he organize?

Although Bianji had fallen into such a plight, his confidence remained undiminished.

This point was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Lord Zhangsun, to start an uprising, one needs strongholds nearby. While Great Qin's attention is not yet focused on Siam, Ceylon, Chenla, and the Mule Kingdom, these small nations.

We should first infiltrate these small nations with our forces. Then, using them as strongholds, we can incite uprisings in the Harsha Empire and contain Great Qin."

This method actually coincided with Great Tang's current grand strategy.

The two plans were not only non-conflicting but also complemented each other.

It was a good strategy!

Zhangsun Wuji laughed.

"Master Bianji, you are worthy of being a national scholar to have such a genius concept!

If I were to give you an army and let you kill the kings of these small nations and occupy their territories, do you think you have the confidence?"

Bianji was taken aback.

The suggestion he made was only to use the territories of these small nations to do things secretly; Zhangsun Wuji was even more ruthless, actually wanting to kill the kings and seize the land.

When the time came, if the lands of these small nations were all under control, it would be much more convenient and secure to act.

Ginger is indeed spicier when it's old!

"These small nations are vulnerable. I lost to Great Qin, but that doesn't mean I can't defeat these small nations.

If Lord Zhangsun is willing to give me an army, I will certainly take these small nations and present them as a congratulatory gift to Great Tang!" Bianji was not stupid either.

His Yizhou Cui family was a branch of the Boling Cui family.

By offering gifts to Great Tang at this moment, neither the Cui family nor the Zhangsun family would treat him poorly.

In the future, when accomplishing great things, he would have to rely heavily on these great noble families.

Zhangsun Wuji was very satisfied with Bianji's stance.

He happened to need someone like this, who dared to take risks and had the ability to lead.

Thus, he told Bianji the entire plan to assassinate the kings of the southern vassal states.
