Li Hao saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately called the military officials. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Quickly send 100 cavalry to recover Li Xian!"

The military official agreed angrily, but was about to go out but was stopped by Yongwang Li Luan.

"Slow down, Li Changshi and I are of the same clan, don't hurt his life!"

"Father, those who have achieved great things must not be confined to small sections!"

Li Wei screamed a little angrily, but this time, no matter how alarmist Li Wei was, Li Lan only insisted on his own opinion. Wei Zichun didn't want their father and son to argue endlessly, so he said:

"King Yong's house is kind-hearted, and there is nothing wrong with the original, whether he is dead or alive, as long as he recognizes it!"

The most fundamental purpose of catching Li Xian is to intercept the news that may leak out, although Wei Heng is a prisoner, but after all, he is a eunuch, and he escaped back without evidence, if he wants to exonerate King Yong, it is not difficult.

"The minister suggested that an envoy should be sent to Chang'an immediately to explain Wei Heng's escape from Jiangling!"

"This two-pronged approach should buy us at least three months or more. ”

Xue Hao agreed with Wei Zichun's suggestion, as long as he delayed for three months, all the preparations before the big event could be completed.

Li Lan held his neck, and he felt quite uncomfortable after facing it for a long time, but he couldn't ignore his image in front of his staff.

However, this physical discomfort is nothing compared to the inner apprehension.

"If Li Changshi can't be recovered, what's the use of the people sent to Chang'an, wouldn't it be to send sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

Li Wei was very impatient with his father's indecision and the kindness of a woman, so he said:

"Whether it succeeds or not, this sacrifice still has to be made!"

The implication is that no matter what, this step must be taken, and someone will always leave life and death behind for this.

Li Lan's heart suddenly felt compassion.

"If, this king said yes, Li Changshi returned to Chang'an, wouldn't the envoy sent be alive?"

Li Hao still had to argue, but Wei Zichun said:

"The messenger sent has his own escape, King Yong can rest assured!"

Wei Zichun's words, Li Lan still believed it very much, so he nodded and reassured.

In fact, where to get out of the know, Wei Zichun said this is just a lenient heart.

The cavalry that pursued Li Xian in three ways was sent out, and the next thing was torment and waiting, until the time of the lantern, and there was no good news to send back. The four of them sat in the middle hall, speechless, the air in the hall seemed to freeze, and even the slight wheezing sound was heavy because it was extremely quiet.

When the last pursuing cavalry returned to Gangneung, everyone understood that the news was inevitable. Li Lan sighed again and again, rubbing his hands anxiously.

"Time is not waiting for me, time is not waiting for me, we must act immediately, otherwise the royal brother, the imperial brother's thunderous disposal will come!"

Li Wei was very dissatisfied with his father's indecisiveness, the kindness of a woman, and the cowardice of a mouse, where is the temperament of a person who has achieved great things? However, for the sake of the great ambition in the gully of his chest, he can only support his father.

At this time, Xue Hao said:

"Since Li Xian's escape is irretrievable, then without further ado, within three days, we must immediately set off to Jinling, as long as we control Jinling and hold Jiangling, this land south of the Yangtze River will be in the pocket of King Yong!"

Jin Xue Hua said so conclusively, Li Lan still asked in disbelief:

"Is it really as easy as you say? This king only needs someone to go to Jinling to rule the entire Jiangnan?"

Wei Zichun continued Xue Hao's words and said:

"This is only the first step, after arriving in Jinling, you have to issue a document accusing the prince of persecuting the monarch's father and usurping the throne, and after the subjects of the world recognize the true face of this traitor to the king, they will naturally fall to the eternal king!"

Li Lan was quite happy at first, but then frowned again, and his tone was quite embarrassed.

"Wouldn't this be a complete tear with the imperial brother? The imperial brother raised me to adulthood, I'm afraid it would be ...... to do this"

When Li Wei heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"Father thinks of brotherhood, that good royal brother will not hesitate to cut off your head!"

Li Xuan was angry when he was on the spot, pointing at Li Hao and shouting:

"Presumptuous!"

Wei Zichun and Xue Hao frowned frequently, this father and son were like enemies in their previous lives, as long as they got together, they would inevitably quarrel if they couldn't say five words.

After the plan was decided, Li Wei immediately ordered the deployment of overnight action, 10,000 elite escorts, escorting the Yongwang Li Lan to set off first, along the Yangtze River eastward, straight to Jinling. At the same time, Jiangling also needed men and horses to guard it, so Xue Hao was entrusted with the important task of staying in charge of the town in the name of Shi Zhi, the governor of the metropolitan governor.

……

Chang'an, after Li Heng reprimanded Wei Heng, he always felt depressed and incomprehensible. If Wei Heng fled back to Chang'an without permission, then Li Luan was really honest and honest, and he should send someone to Chang'an to explain. However, Li Ling's performance before also made Li Heng dissatisfied, he once issued an edict ordering Li Lan to return to serve the emperor, but the younger brother, who had always been docile and well-behaved, actually refused, and also said a reason why he was not good to refuse.

At that time, the An Lushan rebels approached Jiangling with heavy troops, and Li Li bluntly said that if he returned, it would cause irreparable damage to the morale of the local army. Weighing the overall situation, Li Heng had no choice but to pinch his nose and acquiesce to Li Xuan's behavior, but the seeds of dissatisfaction and doubt have been planted, and as long as there is a wind and grass, it will inevitably make people worry.

On the third day of Wei Heng's return to Chang'an, an envoy from Jiangling also followed.

After seeing Li Lan's handwritten letterhead, Li Heng finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the truth of the matter was as he had expected.

So, in order to appease Li Ling and correct the law and discipline, Wei Heng was sentenced to be beheaded and executed immediately. At the same time, Li Heng named Li Luan's two infant sons as kings, so as to show his trust and favor for him.

The top priority now is not to completely deal with and resolve the contradictions between their brothers, but Fang Xuan's more than 100,000 troops have gone east, and all hidden dangers cannot be easily revealed before the war in the eastern capital of Luoyang is settled. After all, the current imperial court has limited troops, and it is impossible to deal with internal and external troubles at the same time.

These are all plans that a monarch should have, and Li Heng has another identity, that is, Li Lan's brother, out of his brother's love for his younger brother, he can't bear to treat Li Lan as an enemy, and he doesn't believe that Li Lan will treat himself like this!

It was precisely out of this consideration and determination that after Li Heng dealt with Wei Heng, he rewarded Li Xuan again. At the same time, the new overseer will also arrive in Gangneung with the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Qin Jin's approach to Li Heng was still generally not out of trouble, and at this time, the contradiction must not be planned, it must be shelved, and only after the victory of Fang Xuan's army can the imperial court have enough energy to free up its hands and cut off this great scourge.

He is different from Li Heng, he does not have the burden of brotherly feelings, and he has an understanding of the historical process, knowing that Li Ling and others will rebel sooner or later, and judging from the current situation, it is far better to be late than to show his opposition too early.

However, Guo Ziyi has a completely different view from Qin Jin.

"I'm afraid the doctor is going to be wishful thinking!"

Qin Jin was surprised:

"Wishful thinking?

He searched through all the memories of Li Lan in his memory, but unfortunately there was no exact date of when Li Li rebelled, so he could only make inferences from various known circumstances.

Guo Ziyi thought for a while before slowly saying:

"It's not King Yong who can't wait, it's King Xiangcheng!"

Li Hao, the king of Xiangcheng, is Li Lan's eldest son, which Qin Jin is clear, but that Li Hao is only nineteen years old this year, does he really have enough ability to influence Li Lan, whose qualifications and prestige are far superior to him?

After thinking for a while, Qin Jin suddenly got up and stood still in front of the whole map of the Tang Dynasty in the corner of Shuaitang. This is a standard map he drew from memory, although it is also very rough, but it is many times clearer than those abstract maps of the time.

Jiangling is Jingzhou in the Han Dynasty, which is bordered by the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, the Bashu in the west, and Hunan and Guangdong in the south, which is the place of "the thoroughfare of the seven provinces". Its importance is self-evident, and Li Longji let Li Lan sit in Jiangling, but in fact, he has an extremely complex purpose.

Qin Jin pondered in front of the map, released Li Ling from his side, and gave him the most important Jiangling. At that time, the Grand Canal had been blocked by the rebels, and the grain and rice taxes south of the two Huai rivers could not reach Chang'an, so they were all stored in Jiangling, the "thoroughfare of the seven provinces". With sufficient grain and rice, you can have hundreds of thousands of elite armor soldiers with a single shout.

This plan is not unclever, and it has given Li Lan such a high starting point, as long as he has a little brain, it will not be difficult to make some achievements. At that time, Li Lan will become a chess piece in Li Longji's hands that can balance Li Heng. Li Heng had to rely on Li Longji's support because of the congenital disadvantage of being in the wrong position, and if Li Ling wanted to compete with Li Heng, he naturally couldn't bypass Li Longji.

In this way, Li Longji, who had already lost his position and power, could exert influence on the imperial court under this means of checks and balances.

After pondering for a long time, Qin Jin didn't say a word, Li Longji's intentions were obvious, but he didn't have a suitable way to deal with it at this time. Everything is in speculation, and it is impossible for Li Heng to attack Li Xuan without real evidence, and in fact, it is difficult for the imperial court to withstand another civil strife while overcoming Luoyang.

Guo Ziyi also followed to the map, his fingers along the Jiangling all the way to the east, and finally tapped heavily on the location of Jinling.

"King Yong will eventually go east to Jiangling, it seems that he wants to emulate the story of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, divide the river and rule, and play half of the country!"

Qin Jin couldn't help but secretly admire Guo Ziyi, he had the memory of his previous life, so he could have the advantage of being the first to anticipate the enemy in the overall situation, and Guo Ziyi could make this kind of inference just by relying on the news of a scaly claw, it was really not simple!

Suddenly, Qin Jin's heart moved and asked:

"It may be deduced when the Yongwang rebelled?"

Guo Ziyi's face did not change, and replied softly:

"If the miscalculation is correct, they are now reversed and are heading south along the Yangtze River!"

When he said this, his expression did not have a trace of waves, as if it was just an ordinary thing!
