Under the city of Chang'an.

Yuan Yao led his troops to arrive in the Western Capital after more than ten days of travel.

Looking at Chang'an, which was full of mottled and devastated after the war, Yuan Yao sighed unconsciously: "Alas, since ancient times, they have all come, prosperous, the people are suffering, dying, and the people are suffering!" ”

On the way to the journey, he saw too much of the lives of the people in Guanzhong due to the Xiliang army's counterattack on Chang'an, not to mention that the military discipline of the Xiliang soldiers was not strict, and burning, killing and looting were commonplace.

……

Next, Yuan Yao led his troops to camp in Ba Shang on the outskirts of the city, and then entered the city with Huang Zhong and more than a dozen personal guards.

Pavilion Station.

In the guest house, Yuan Yao met with Cui Zhouping, who arrived first, and then closed the door and asked softly: "Sir, how has the movement in Guanzhong been in recent days, and what has happened?" ”

Hearing this, the two sat down looking at each other, and Cui Zhou said slowly: "Childe, Jun has really gained from using my Cui family's eyeliner in the court recently, on the one hand, it is about the changes within the Xiliang Army, and on the other hand, it is a plan outside the government and the opposition. ”

"Sir, please give me a try."

"According to the investigation of the eyeliner and Jun's understanding, after the Xiliang generals worked together to take Chang'an, there was a gap in the internal side due to the uneven distribution of rights."

"For example, although Li Wei attaches great importance to Jia Xu, because of the ability he has shown, he is also very jealous."

Before, because Jia Xu was not famous, Cui Jun didn't know much about this person's deeds.

But after he arrived in Chang'an to understand and contact with this person, he suddenly felt Jia Xu's power.

Looks ordinary and is kind on the face, but behind the kindness is extremely calculating, maybe you will fall into his trap if you don't pay attention.

"At present, Li Dao is respected in the Xiliang Army, what is his right to speak?"

Hearing that Cui Zhouping mentioned the internal contradictions in the Xiliang Army, Yuan Yao suddenly felt that there might be a lot to be done.

After all, according to the development of the original history, there were many factions among the Xiliang armies and fought against each other, among which the rebellion of Li and Guo was the most typical.

"At present, Li Dao is coercing the Son of Heaven to be a general, and his official position is extremely prominent above the ministers, and the power he occupies among the Xiliang army is slightly stronger than that of the rest of the generals, so he can lead the Xiliang army as a speaker."

At this point, Cui Zhouping thought about it, and then changed his words, and said bluntly: "However, there are many factions in the Xiliang army, such as Guo Yan and Fan Chou, who are not much weaker than Li Dao, and now the three parties have basically reached a tacit understanding to jointly control the government. ”

"In addition, there are subordinate forces such as Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan, although there is a gap in strength compared to Li, Guo and Fan, but because of the relationship between bravery and good fighting, they also enjoy extremely strong prestige in the army."

After some conversation, Yuan Yao gradually figured out the hidden contradictions within the Xiliang Army.

When the words fell, Cui Zhouping groaned for a while, and said again: "Childe, as for the other news, the important ministers of the court and the central government intend to link up with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others who sit in Liangzhou, in an attempt to defeat the Western Liang army, recapture the government and return it to the Son of Heaven, so as to restore the glory of the Han family." ”

"Links?"

"Is there an agreement on how long it will take for the incident to happen?"

Yuan Yao asked one after another.

"Ma Yu and his father are friends who talk about everything, and their friendship is extremely deep, so after Jun returned to Chang'an, he wanted me to participate in the planning of this matter."

"According to the information he revealed, it is still in a conspiracy, and the date of the incident has not yet been decided."

"In this case, why not design the princes of Liangzhou such as Ma and Han to march east into Guanzhong in the name of King Qin's thief, and then Li Dao and others will send elite soldiers and strong generals to crusade against them."

"This is our army's chance."

"What does Childe mean?"

Hearing this, Cui Zhouping pondered for a moment, but suddenly realized something, and said: "Childe wants to use the gap that exists within Xiliang to divide them?" ”

"Take advantage of the situation."

When the words fell, Yuan Yao said with a look of affirmation.

With the information that Cui Zhouping had discovered, Yuan Yao's thoughts were surging for a while, and a careful deployment gradually took shape in his mind.

Previously, in order to make greater use of the alliance between Yuan, Cao, and Liu, he decided to go west into the pass to persuade Li Dao and others to go out of the customs to respond.

But to tell the truth, Yuan Yao really has no bottom in his heart.

Moreover, even if Li Wei agrees to send troops, as long as Jia Xu, who is known as a "poisoner", is still around, then everything will change.

Merely.

Now that Yuan Yao understands that the Xiliang Army is full of internal contradictions and external enemies are peeping, if he uses one or two, maybe this trip plan should be perfectly achieved.

Looking at the joy on Yuan Yao's face, Cui Zhouping asked slowly: "There is a perfect plan in the child's chest?" ”

"Yes!"

Yuan Yao nodded solemnly, and then said: "First design to order the princes who are entrenched in Liangzhou to unite and abuse the counties of Guanzhong, and when Li Dao sends various armies to quell the rebellion, we will quietly and secretly provoke the ambitions of the generals of Xiliang and tempt them to raise troops and stand on their own." ”

"As long as the Xiliang Army can be divided, then our army will support the weaker side, let them go out of the border areas of Kou and Hebei, and assist our army in the battle on the front line."

Speaking of this, Yuan Yao was worried for a while, and said: "For the Xiliang Army, not only must we use it, but also prevent them from fighting back, so the divided Xiliang Army will no longer have the strength to threaten our army." ”

Under the words, he thought slowly, and the plan that he had temporarily conceived in his mind was also gradually improving.

"If possible, try to make Li Wei jealous and suspicious of Jia Xu. It's best to force it away, as long as Jia Xu's plan is missing, then this strategy is easier to achieve! ”

"Forced away?" After hearing this, Cui Zhouping responded helplessly: "At present, Jia Xu is the guest of honor at Li Dao, and he can freely enter and leave the General's Mansion, and there is no need to tell him, Li Dao values him so much, I am afraid it will be difficult to force him away." ”

"This ...... Not necessarily! ”

Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It is precisely because he is highly valued and has no last resort, but he is more likely to be feared by Li Wei, sir, just think about it, what will happen if this son contacts Jia Xu frequently in the future?" ”

"Can Jia Xu's ingenuity choose to meet Childe?"

"This ...... It's okay, don't talk about other big things, it's okay to chat about the parents, just let Li Dao see all this with his own eyes, the specific content of the conversation is not important. ”

Yuan Yao said in a calm voice.

"Good!"

"The number of things that have just been discussed have been finalized like this, and then I will start to act after formulating a specific implementation plan, but I don't know if Mr. can have a way to contact the Son of Heaven who is imprisoned in the palace?"

"If you can get an edict from King Qin, then the possibility of instigating the princes of Liangzhou to raise troops into Kou Pass will be greatly increased."

"Only in this way can we take advantage of the situation, fish in troubled waters, and achieve the desired goal."

Yuan Yao said quietly after thinking.
