"After the battle of Donghe Village two years ago, His Majesty adopted the strategy of exhaustion, Chen soldiers on the border, the whole army through the military, and lured the Mengshu labor division to move the crowd, and the money, food, and ordnance came over the mountains and mountains. Before and after the Fengzhou army, it cost a lot in our dynasty, and it was twice as much in Mengshu, and now it was broken in a battle, and the original goal was completely achieved! Paying attention to the look of interest in the emperor's eyes, Zhao Pu organized his language a little and said slowly:

"Meng Shu used to be locked in Sichuan, never disturbed by the outside world, repaired internal affairs, was self-sufficient, and the people were safe. Now, the Ming Lord was born, and the Han Dynasty rose in the Central Plains, and once the door of his country was opened, it was difficult to ensure the safety of the year. The intention of the ministers to talk about chaos is to take measures to exacerbate the domestic military and political chaos and push the people's hearts to leave after the stability and balance of the Shu are broken.

At that time, if the troops are sent south again, it will be a famous division and save the people from fire and water. After the destruction of Shu, it will be easier to govern Shu and implement good governance, so as to clean up the hearts of the people of Shu......"

"First chaos in Shu, then destroy Shu, and then govern Shu!" Liu Chengyou tilted his head, looked at the upright Zhao Pu with a little playfulness, and said: "Such a clever plan is not upright!" ”

Zhao Pu's face did not change, and he arched his hand and said: "It is for the king's plan, it is beneficial to the country, why not use the means?" ”

"Hehe......" Liu Chengyou couldn't help laughing, showing his good mood, and said: "How to mess up Shu?" ”

Hearing the emperor's question, Zhao Pu's spirits lifted slightly, and it was obvious that Liu Chengyou was tempted. After a little consideration, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, as the minister said, Shu can be at peace with itself, but it is isolated from the Central Plains and closed off from the country. Today, the Han Dynasty uses force, and even gives defeat, in Shu, the external trouble is coming, and it will be born inside.

The minister made a few plans for chaos. First, continue to Chen soldiers on the border, forcing Meng Shu to spend national strength, recruit soldiers and horses, build weapons, and strengthen armaments; Second, the courtiers of Shu are many greedy and despicable, and they can be bribed with a lot of money for the use of our dynasty to implement policies for disorderly government; Third, the officials of Shuzhou County can choose their profiteers, buy and control them, defeat their government, and bring disaster to their people; Fourth, it can make Shu meticulous, spread rumors, and confuse people's hearts; Fifth, the money made in Shu is mostly made of iron, and iron money can be made privately and circulated in Sichuan and Shu, and its bronze ...... is collected."

"Zhao Puna, every strategy of yours has exhausted the national strength of the Shu State, corrupted its government, and harmed its people, and I shuddered when I heard it!" Turning his head to look at Zhao Pu, Liu Chengyou sighed with emotion: "If someone uses this to deal with my big man, I'm afraid it will be impossible to prevent it!" ”

Zhao Pu was slightly stunned, paying attention to the emperor's indifferent gaze, and couldn't help but feel terrified, consciously overacting and using poison. Under the abundant psychological activities, a little cold sweat grew on Zhao Pu's forehead.

"Your Majesty, the minister's policy is based on the national conditions of Sichuan and Shu. The political turmoil in Shu has long been symptomatic, and the minister's original intention is just to add fuel to the fire. If his ruler is wise and virtuous, even if he exhausts his resourcefulness, he will not be able to do anything to shake him in the slightest, so he can only suggest that His Majesty break through the pass with a strong army......"

"You don't have to be nervous!" Listening to his explanation, Liu Chengyou stretched his face, waved his hand and said, "I only feel it!" I also believe that the strategies you offer will be effective! ”

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said to Zhao Pu: "In this way, since this proposal is dedicated to you, you will lead the implementation, how about it?" ”

"Obey orders!" Almost without thinking, Zhao Pu responded, and finally added a little excitement between his eyebrows.

In matters such as cutting the domain, collecting troops, and centralizing power, Zhao Pu originally had his own ideas and advice, but the embarrassing thing is that Liu Chengyou has already done these things, and he is already in the final stage.

Therefore, since entering the dynasty, Zhao Pu has also been thinking about where to start with the strategy, display his talents, and establish meritorious deeds. The internal stability is temporary, and Liu Chengyou has been doing well, picking up and filling in the gaps, and changing it when it happens. Thinking about it, it can only make achievements in leveling the foreign affairs of the south, and the country is in the process of cutting down Shu, how to plan for Shu has become a matter of Zhao Pu's hard thinking.

"You can consider how to start, but when it will be implemented, it depends on how Qin Feng's war ends!" Liu Chengyou raised his head slightly, and said leisurely: "Wait for the battle report ahead!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what the war is, it can be carried out." Zhao Pu replied confidently: "Even, not only for Meng Shu, but also for other secession countries in the south, can follow suit!" ”

"It seems that Zhao Qing is not just focusing on Sichuan and Shu, but looking at the world, the pattern can be described as ambitious!" Liu Chengyou looked at Zhao Pu and praised him, his eyes were full of approval.

In this regard, Zhao Pu is naturally a little humble.

His eyes fell on the map of Qin Feng again, his eyes gradually deepened, and he whispered to Zhang Dejun: "Tell me to go down, Qin Feng's four prefectures are already owned by the Han Dynasty, and the map can be updated according to its city roads!" ”

"Yes!"

"If I follow what you said, suspend the pace of exterminating Shu, how should I use my strategy in the past year and a half?" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou asked Zhao Pu.

In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Zhao Pu didn't seem to have much brains, and said calmly: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty may be able to collect Jinghu!" ”

"The time has come?" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows.

"Regain Qin Feng, the time is right!" Zhao Pu replied very simply.

From the very beginning, the basic goal of this attack on Shu was only to recapture the four states of Qin and Feng, solve the geographical disadvantages of the Han Dynasty in the southwest, consolidate the frontier, and weaken the strength of Hou Shu by the way. As a result, after several months of fighting, the goal was exceeded, and it was time for Liu Chengyou to make choices and decisions.

As for Jinghu, the belly of the world, Liu Chengyou has also coveted it for a long time, and he has been thinking about it in his heart. Because he knows the importance of seizing it, Jinghu Lake is down, strangles the Yangtze River, goes west to destroy Houshu, enters the south to level the pseudo-Liu, and enters the Southern Tang Dynasty in the east, that is the real tiger in the Central Plains, peeking into the world.

"Jingnan is narrow and widowed, and it is not difficult to break it! However, although the Gao family is frugal, they are quite obedient to the imperial court, especially Gao Baorong, since the heir, the annual tribute and congratulatory gifts have never been less, and the imperial court edict has no disobedience, how can I bear to take away its land? Although Liu Chengyou's face was calm, his tone of words highlighted hypocrisy, and he couldn't help it.

Zhao Pu smiled slightly and said, "Although the Gao clan is submissive, it is just a matter of being strong and strong in the north with the Han Dynasty, and being filial to protect itself." In addition, the land of Jingnan is the land of His Majesty, and the people of Jingnan are the people of His Majesty, which have been temporarily paid into the hands of the Gao family for many years, and now they are recovered, which is the will of heaven and people.

In addition, although the Gao clan is divided, but the Zhou clan is separated from the imperial court, and has different aspirations, if His Majesty thinks about the name of the teacher, he can start from Hunan......"

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but look at Zhao Pu's eyes, sighed with emotion, and said: "Zhao Pu, why do you always speak to my heart?" ”

Zhao Pu didn't dare to answer this question sloppily, lowered his head to be careful, and said: "The minister is good at pondering on weekdays, and he is fortunate to serve the imperial front, counsellor military and political affairs, and he has been taught by His Majesty more, and he is a strategy among the strategies, and there are many strategies for His Majesty......"

Liu Chengyou smiled again, and said: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, there are not many people who can talk about the past and the present with me, and talk freely about the world, you Zhao Pu is one!" ”

"Your Majesty has won the prize!"

This Zhao Pu is really a talent.

"Your Majesty, the Kunming Hall is here to report, the saint is about to give birth!" At this time, the chamberlain hurriedly came to report.

Liu Chengyou heard this, without the slightest pause, and went straight to Kunming Palace. Ten months pregnant, the queen will finally have something again. By the time Liu Chengyou arrived, Kunming Hall was already such a familiar and busy scene.

However, he has already experienced a lot, and then the gagafu is the second child, Liu Chengyou is also calm, just waiting outside, and by the way, he talked to the Queen Mother who arrived first.

"I heard that the front line won the battle?" It is rare that Li cares about the military and politics.

For the Empress Dowager Li, Liu Chengyou was basically assured that she would not interfere in politics, and when he heard her question, he said: "Exactly, we won the battle!" ”

Li nodded lightly, with a smile on his kind face, and said: "There is a great victory ahead, the queen has given birth again, double happiness is coming, God bless you!" ”

"Mother is right!" Liu Chengyou replied casually: "Perhaps, it's time for me to go to the suburbs again......"
