The palace meeting is established, and Liu Chengyou can calmly give orders.

"Ma Xiguang's envoy, let's still be in Tokyo!" Liu Chengyou asked Feng Dao.

Feng Dao nodded: "The envoy of Chu is still waiting for the edict in Honglu Temple, and he has not returned to the south!" ”

At this time, Fan Zhen, who didn't speak much, spoke, and his expression was as cold and hard as usual: "The envoy of Chu has the intention of living in Tokyo for a long time, and he is afraid that the king of Chu will not be able to protect his country, and he intends to take refuge in the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human nature, looking at the current situation in Hunan, Ma Xiguang is about to be defeated. This Chu envoy has some insight, who is it? Liu Chengyou was a little interested.

Wang Pu got up at the right time and gave Liu Chengyou a popular science: "Your Majesty, the Chu envoy's name is Shi Wende, a member of the water department in Chu's official position, and he is one of the eighteen scholars of Tiance set up by Ma Xifan. ”

"If you can enter the eyes of your king Qiwu, it is expected that you are not a mediocre person!" Liu Chengyou shook his head, thought less, and immediately ordered: "Feng Shi Wende is the Xuanfu envoy of Lizhou, let him return to Hunan immediately, and tell Ma Xiguang that I will send troops to garrison Lizhou at his request to relieve his worries." In addition, to the people of Hunan, publicize this matter! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Chengyou looked at Tao Gu again: "Record!" ”

Hearing the order, Tao Gu immediately straightened up, spread out the album, picked up the pen and prepared, and the rest of the ministers also cheered up and listened to the emperor's order.

"Command, Shannan Dongdao Jiedu envoy An Xianqi, by which he divided 2,000 Xiangzhou soldiers, and went south to enter Lizhou, um...... I heard that the Duke of Qi loves the generals under his command deeply, so I will not win the love of others, and the generals of Tunli will be selected by the imperial court. Liu Chengyou nodded his finger and reminded: "Pay attention to the choice of words, and after the system is formed, it will be sent to Xiangzhou immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

The Son of Heaven, if he has the opportunity, he will not forget to suppress the forces of Jiedu, and divide his troops is to cut his power, and he can kill two birds with one stone. Feng Dao pondered for a while, and secretly sighed that the emperor was becoming more and more difficult to serve, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger for the old fox.

Liu Chengyou instructed Feng Dao again: "Send someone to Jiangling to discuss the matter of borrowing the road with the king of Nanping, and by the way, inform him that the matter of Ma Chu will not bother him more!" ”

"The minister understands!" Feng Dao restrained his mind and responded.

Previously, Gao Baorong, the king of Nanping, went to Tokyo, saying that Ma Xicao invited Jing soldiers to go south and conspire with Hunan, Gao Baorong hesitated and did not dare to be self-dictatorated, so he wrote a letter and asked the emperor of Han to make a decision. In Liu Chengyou's opinion, this Gao Baorong is also courageous, and if so, it will give him a clear reply.

"In addition, the army of Tunli is lonely and the supply of grain and grass is inconvenient. Liu Chengyou added another sentence.

When this remark fell, everyone looked at each other, and Liu Chengyou clearly wanted to take advantage of it. The soldiers do not need to be sent out of Tokyo, and the needs do not need to be supplied by Tokyo, and they will be selected by the center, and what really needs the help of the imperial court is just some paperwork and rushing......

"Your Majesty, so, I'm afraid that it will cause the King of Nanping to be happy!" Feng Dao muttered.

After all, Liu Chengyou's intention is really a bit of a bully and a bully, the same is true for Jingnan Gaobaorong, and the same is true for Xiangzhou An Xianqi!

Sensing his doubts, Wang Pu got up, made a wave for Liu Chengyou, and said: "In the opinion of the minister, Your Majesty's move, the Gao family is resentful, or inevitable, but at the same time, it can relieve his suspicions. The army of the southern faction does not have more soldiers, and the lifeblood of food is tied to its hands, so it is not enough to worry. Otherwise, even if the imperial court does not make much action, it is difficult to ensure that it is not worried, will the imperial court plot against Jingnan! ”

Although Liu Chengyou is not as "deep" as Wang Pu considered, listening to his analysis, he still has to praise Wang Pu for "winning my heart".

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, the old minister is obedient!" For Feng Dao, nothing is pandering to praise the Son of Heaven, it is important. Left and right, the big discussion has been decided.

"Is there a candidate for the leading commander?" Liu Chengyou turned to ask the candidates for stationing: "Lizhou should be the key point of the three places in the south, the place of the four wars, and the situation in Hunan is complex and chaotic. ”

Liu Chengyou's request made the ministers dare not rashly recommend for a while. It is true that there are thousands of Han generals, but it is also an indisputable fact that there are many brave warriors. Of course, there are many generals who are serious and calm, and they can casually say Guo Wei, Guo Congyi, Liu Ci and others, but if these military bigwigs go to a bridgehead, even if Liu Chengyou gives an order, people may not necessarily obey the order......

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Pu spoke up and recommended someone to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, Cao Yin, the colonel of the First Army of the Guardian Left Chamber, is generous, humble and polite, has been in the army for many years, and has rich combat experience, so he can be entrusted with the appointment!" ”

As one of the four major armies under the Hujie Army (Guard Sibu Army Number), the Guardian Saint Army is also a middle and senior general under the command of the First Army on the left side, and Liu Chengyou also has some impressions of this person.

"Huh?" The image of this person flashed in his mind, but a strange look flashed in his eyes, which seemed to firm Liu Chengyou's thoughts: "I know this person, he is indeed a calm general, so let's add him as the defense envoy of Lizhou, go south to Xiangzhou as soon as possible, take over the soldiers and horses, and go to Lizhou!" ”

It was about the transfer of soldiers, and Liu Chengyou was directly instructed by Wei Renpu, the deputy privy envoy.

looked at the others and reminded solemnly: "Xiangzhou, Jingnan and Hunan, the relevant departments and departments of the imperial court, should try their best to cooperate and implement it as soon as possible to ensure that the Xiangjun Tunli is in charge, so as not to be delayed and cause changes!" Ma Xiguang's side, I think it won't last long, this time the court's actions must be fast! ”

"Yes!"

"But Your Majesty, if our army has not arrived, and Ma Xiguang has been defeated, what should we do?" Wei Renpu took the opportunity to ask Liu Chengyou for instructions in advance.

"I'm working hard here and consuming money, so I can't just go home!" Liu Chengyou's tone was relaxed, and his mouth was full of bandit logic: "Since I am at the request of the king of Chu, Lizhou is a state and county under the jurisdiction of my Han Dynasty, and the dispatch of military horses is a normal military transfer of our dynasty, does Ma Chu still have an opinion?" ”

"Furthermore, if Ma Xiguang is defeated, will Ma Xicao still dare to offend my Tianwei? I don't know, at that time, Ma Xicao will also send people to eat pot pulp and go north to reward the king! ”

"Yes!" Wei Renpu shook his head and didn't say much, just have the emperor's clear instructions, and he could make arrangements in advance.

In this palace discussion, the person who discussed was just "the king of Chu asked for help", but from beginning to end, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty only considered and planned the interests and strategies of the Han Dynasty, and did not take into account the interests and feelings of the people of Hunan at all. In this troubled world, the sorrow of the small forces is no more than this, and besides, they are not angry......

And Liu Chengyou, he actually still has some enjoyment of this kind of planning for the world in his heart, with great power in his hands and Qiankun in his hands.

"The matter of Hunan is agreed upon!" Liu Chengyou made a summary, and then put forward the last topic: "Then on the side of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, who should be the envoy and say that it is 'divided'!" ”

After saying that, Tao Gu couldn't wait to stand up and open a big ceremony: "The minister is willing to go!" ”

Looking at his demeanor, he was excited, but he didn't know if it was to make contributions to the country, to serve the country, or to miss the beauty of the flower boat on the Qinhuai River......

In fact, he had the experience of sending envoys to the Southern Tang Dynasty before, and the task was completed well, Tao Gu was a candidate to visit the Southern Tang Dynasty again, and in addition, it was Wang Pu.

Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Pu, and there seemed to be a change, and most of the Wenchen had a heart that was vertical and horizontal.

After rolling his eyes twice, Liu Chengyou looked at Tao Gu: "Then Lao Taoqing will go again!" Since the two countries have been reconciled, it has been a year and a half, the field has been opened, exchanges have been exchanged, the border has become more and more prosperous, and the lives of the people of the two Huai have become more and more stable. On my behalf, you will go to Jinling, pay a visit, sing praises to the Tang Lord, and express my gratitude and respect......"

Liu Chengyou's high-sounding words were subtle and almost naked, and Tao Gu was stunned for a while, and all the ministers present couldn't help but look sideways, but the skin of the Son of Heaven was getting thicker and thicker. But there is nothing surprising about it, after all, they are all about politics, basic skills.

"The minister is ordered, and he will live up to His Majesty's hopes!" Tao Gu's voice was full of joy.
