Under the gaze of Zhe, Guo, and Li, Liu Chengyou got up, paced with his back hand, thought for a long time, and said directly: "Regarding the matter of Hunan, according to Li Qing's performance, the edict will be sent to Hunan, and Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Wenbiao will be announced!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Chengyou looked at the three of them, and there was a hint of questioning in his steady tone: "Now, another question is in front of the big Han, I need to make a choice, take Jinghu first, or fight Qin Feng first?" ”

Hearing the emperor's words, he thought about it, and he had no intention of making it, but Guo Rong took the lead in speaking: "The imperial court has established a general strategy, and it is not appropriate to change it lightly, and the Fengxiang front line has already invested a large number of soldiers and horses, money, food, and ordnance in the imperial court, which is to prepare for the Qinfeng War."

Shu also gathered heavy troops in Qin and Feng, and the end of the war may start in the unexpected, even if Zhou Xing unified Hunan, the imperial court should not be distracted from Hunan, let alone support the army! ”

Guo Rong's words are very clear, take Qin Feng first. Liu Chengyou asked: "How many people are there in the Shu army today?" ”

"Counting the 5,000 soldiers of the newly transferred Luan Su Guard, there are more than 30,000 troops! The lord of Shu is in Xingyuan Mansion, and there are 20,000 soldiers in Yitun, who can go out of Qinling to support at any time! Guo Rong said.

Nodding, Liu Chengyou sighed: "It seems that the effect is good, the remaining troops of Meng Shu, the Thai semi-elite, are concentrated on the northern front." If it can be annihilated, I am afraid that there will not be many usable troops in the country! ”

"Admittedly!" Guo Rongying said: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, fighting with Meng Shu in the southwest is like cutting flesh and bloodletting. The two battles of Jifeng Mountain and Donghe Village injured his body, but he was still able to stop the wound. What he is planning now is to cut off his arteries, and his blood will be exhausted, so as to prepare for the future war of annihilation! ”

Liu Chengyou bowed slightly, but didn't say anything more, and looked at Li Chuyun. Sure enough, after a little hesitation and a glance at Guo Rong with a serious expression, Li Chuyun still spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister has no objection to Qin Feng's strategy. I just feel that after such a big battle, if the goal can be achieved, Meng Shu will naturally be weak, but if you want to destroy Shu from the north and south, there are countless dangers and obstacles in Guanshan, and it is still not easy to destroy it easily.

If you can take advantage of Jinghu Lake, attack from two roads, echo each other from afar, for my dynasty, it is the best strategy to enter the army! Now, the situation in Hunan is enough to plan, if you can take Jinghu lightly, it will be beneficial to the strategy! ”

"Otherwise, Hunan has now returned from chaos to governance, and it is enough to contain Zhou Xingfeng with Zhang Wenbiao and prevent it from continuing to grow. The imperial court should also focus on Qin Feng's affairs, taking care of both ends, but I'm afraid that everything will be empty! Moreover, when Qin Feng's affairs are over, it is not too late to seek Jinghu again! ”

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but glance at Guo Rong, he rarely had such a time to seek stability, which was a bit rare. On the contrary, it is Li Chuyun, who is determined to forge ahead, and his ambition to make achievements is very obvious.

Li Chuyun's suggestion is obviously radical, and of course, if it succeeds, the benefits will also be huge.

"Your Majesty, now that the Han people's livelihood is stable, the soldiers are strong, and with the passage of time, the national strength will become stronger and stronger. At that time, it will be enough to fight on both sides, take Jinghu lightly, and the target will also be in Mengshu, which can be a supplement to the strategy of destroying Shu. A two-pronged approach is not necessary! ”

As soon as Li Chuyun's words fell, Guo Rong's eyebrows sank slightly, his face was slightly cold, and he said: "It's a two-pronged approach, I'm afraid that the main and secondary will be confused and the big thing will be mistaken!" Although Hunan was tired, it was not easy to meet the generation that week, and it was even more worrying that the surrounding area of the Han Dynasty was not stable and peaceful, and the Khitan and the party's subordinates must not be negligent at all times.

Today's big man no longer needs to be risky and aggressive, he can steadily strategize and push the world, so why be impatient! ”

was labeled as "impatient" by Guo Rong, Li Chuyun was slightly unconvinced, but he didn't dare to fight with him too much, just looked at the emperor.

"I already know the meaning of Erqing! This is just a casual discussion between my monarch and ministers, and the court has already set a general plan, and it is very involved up and down, so naturally it will not easily change course. It's just that the current situation is changing at any time, and the military and political strategy should also be adapted to the times and move with the trend. The matter of temple calculation, one more layer of consideration, is not a bad thing! Looking at Guo and Li, who seemed to be in a bit of a mood, Liu Chengyou smiled slightly and said.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Zhi Congruan also spoke, saying: "The old minister thinks that what His Majesty said is very true. However, the matter of Jinghu can be monitored and investigated by Cao Yin and the Military Intelligence Department, and wait for the opportunity to move. In the civil strife of the Ma clan that year, Tang took it with an army of 30,000 troops, and the result was still like yesterday's incident, which cannot but be learned. And this week's trip is in full swing, although this person is tough, but also quite scheming, in comparison, it is more difficult to deal with, not to be underestimated, underestimate the difficulty of taking Jinghu! ”

"The pseudo-Tang Dynasty gained Chu and lost it, because its monarchs and ministers were greedy and conceited, and the side pickaxe had no way to control it, and the people did not attach it. And I, the great man, the wise and virtuous, will not repeat the mistakes of the past! Li Chuyun couldn't help but say.

"That's it!" looked at Liu Chengyou deeply, waved his hand, and said, "Today, let's discuss it here for the time being!" ”

Before leaving, Liu Chengyou folded from Ruan and Guo Rong and said: "The army in the southwest is over, and I intend to let Xiang train in Fengxiang, Longyou, and Jingyuan, and at the same time train the troops, implement military cantonments and local reclamation to replenish military supplies!" The Privy Council can discuss and draw up a system for trial implementation, and I will have a department and the government to cooperate with this matter! ”

"Yes!"

If all the 30,000 troops in the southwest are out of production, even if there is no war, it will be a big burden for the imperial court. In fact, in the military states on all sides of the Han Dynasty, there are military tuns, and Liu Chengyou also intends to carry out some rectification and redefine the "military tun system".

After Liu Chengyou left, he called Li Chuyun from Ruan and accompanied him out for a walk.

The rain and snow had stopped, and the paleness of the imperial city had become a little gloomy, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and the north wind was blowing on the face, and it was painful. After walking in silence for a while, Zhi Congruan sighed: "Zhengyuan, I know that you have always been famous for your own responsibility, and I also know your talents, but your performance in front of Your Majesty still seems too impatient!" ”

Hearing this, Li Chuyun responded: "Zhegong, in the next day, it has passed the year of establishment, fortunately I am supported by Zhegong, and I dare not fail to do my duty to repay the kindness of the encounter!" ”

Shaking his head slightly, he looked at him: "I'm only afraid of you, confronting Guo Shumi like this, offending him!" ”

"It's all a matter of the king, a general plan for the country, and it's normal for opinions to be biased. Guo Shumi has always been heavy-minded, selfless, broad-minded, and with his bosom, he will not hold a grudge because of official affairs! Li Chuyun hesitated and said.

"Guo Shumi's mind is naturally not small. However, its spirit is strong, and the implementation of Qin Feng's strategy is mostly led by its preparations.

Even if you are out of public intentions, and Guo Shumi will not be jealous. However, everyone has likes and dislikes, and it is inevitable that they will come in the future. With your knowledge, you can experience a few years in the Privy Council, and your achievements can be expected, so you don't need to worry! Zhi Congruan said in an admonishing tone.

Li Chuyun's expression was slightly condensed, he thought seriously for a while, looked at Zhe Congruan, and saw that the husband's face was full of peace, Li Chuyun arched his hand and said: "The meaning of Zhegong's care, I am grateful, and I can't repay it!" ”

Reaching out, he patted him on the shoulder, and said with a chuckle: "The old man can see that His Majesty still has a good impression of you, and he will rely on your talents in the future, and the period of great use is not far away!" ”

Between his faces, a touch of joy appeared, and after thinking about it, Li Chuyun followed the footsteps and asked in a low voice: "I don't know if Gong Zhe may see that His Majesty has a good attitude towards the strategy of Jinghu?" ”

"The holy will is unpredictable, the thoughts of the Son of Heaven are beyond the discretion of you and me, do your own thing......"
