Taogu was the next day, when the sun was three poles, and he woke up. The taste of a hangover is not pleasant, the mouth is extremely sour, and the stomach is stinky. The place where his hands were caressed, full of delicate and soft touches, and the numb and sore back, reminded Tao Gu of the huge consumption last night, which was not something that people of his age could indulge.

Above the white gold, the two bright blood red flowers are very eye-catching, and Tao Gu has obviously earned it.

Although the softness of the brocade couch and the coquettishness of the dancing girl are easy to make people forget to return, Tao Gu still has a red face, hurriedly dresses well, leaves the two Meiji, and goes out before he can let the waiter wash.

Asked Feng Yansi, Fang learned that Feng Xianggong had already entered the palace to meet the Tang Emperor, and when he learned it, he looked flustered, simply put down two sentences, and walked away, looking very ashamed.

At this time, in the palace city of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in the Chengxin Hall, the Tang lord Li Jing was concentrating, writing poems and practicing calligraphy. Meticulous expression, calm movements, but Yu Guang glanced at Feng Yansi from time to time, listening to his report.

"In this way, the discussion of dividing Chu is just the decision of the little emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty to go his own way, and it has not been supported by the civil and military?" Put down the pen, take the silk jin and wipe his hands, sit down and pick up the teacup and take two sips, Li Jing asked.

In the unhurried tone, I clearly heard a bit of expectation. Feng Yansi immediately gave Li Jing a positive answer: "Exactly!" ”

"What Tao Gu said is true?"

Feng Yansi cheered him up again: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the minister, Tao Gu is a person with a little literary talent and a weak character, the minister is fascinated by wine, and the beauty tempts him, what he said should be true!" ”

"The situation in the Northern Han Dynasty, the ministers have also heard of it, the lord is less suspicious, the monarch is weak and the minister is strong. In recent years, the old ministers who founded the country, or derogatory and questioned, or moved to the outside world, which is enough to prove that the struggle between the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty is fierce, and its court is not as stable as it seems on the surface. ”

And this action against Hunan was forcibly ordered by the Northern Han Emperor when Guo Wei, the privy envoy who held military power, patrolled the border. did not send Kaifeng's forbidden army, but directly planned to order An Xianqi, who was guarding Xiangzhou, to dispatch 2,000 people. ”

"These circumstances, based on what Tao Gu said, are still right. Therefore, there is no conspiracy behind the proposal of the Northern Han Dynasty to divide Chu. If I take the initiative to send troops to annex Hunan, or I should be afraid of the intervention of the Northern Han, and now the other party takes the initiative to propose, it will relieve my scruples! ”

Listening to Feng Yansi's words, Li Jing nodded subconsciously, the hesitation on his face was much less, he thought about it and asked: "However, according to the Northern Han Dynasty, after seizing the Chu land, the north of Tanzhou will be returned to the Northern Han, and our dynasty can only take those barren states in the south." The appetite of the little emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty seems to be a little big! ”

Hearing Li Jing say this, Feng Yansi was completely relieved, he knew that the emperor was tempted, and his political plan could also be declared successful.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Feng Yansi looked scheming and said to Li Jing: "These can be allowed, but in the end, who belongs to the state and county depends on the strength in his hand." Although the northern army is strong, in the south, our Tang Dynasty has both the advantages of climate and geographical advantages, and the strength of sailors, and the Han army is in every difficulty to compete with us! ”

Feng Yansi's words made Li Jing fall into deep thought again, and after a while, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, obviously, he was a little distracted......

"Your Majesty!" Feng Yansi called softly.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Li Jing looked at Feng Yansi, with a look of determination, and said, "Feng Qing, I have decided to agree to the proposal of the Northern Han Dynasty and enter Hunan. ”

"But don't rush it at this point!" has just released a wave of pride, and has returned to his usual weakness, and he looks like he lacks confidence: "On the Hunan side, there are many factions to determine the situation." The imperial court can prepare grain, grass and ordnance and transport them to the border, and now it is in the agricultural season, and after the spring ploughing is over, it will send the general into the army. ”

According to Feng Yansi's idea, since the decision has been made, it is necessary to act quickly and seize the opportunity. However, he also understands Li Jing's temperament, and when he says this, it is not easy to persuade again.

"What about the Han envoy Tao Gu?" Li Jing said.

Speaking of Tao Gu, Feng Yansi smiled: "Maybe you are in the minister's mansion, indulging in the gentle township!" ”

"Haha!" Li Jing was also happy, and said in a mocking tone: "Emperor Han used such a good wine and greedy person as an envoy, but I am afraid that he is also a flashy and untruthful person. ”

Liu Chengyou's battle of Luancheng shocked the world that year, and the deterrent effect lasted for some years, but with the passage of time, the feeling was no longer so deep.

"Your Majesty is very true! After all, it is not the orthodoxy of the Han family, and it does not practice rituals, so it is essentially a martial artist! Feng Yansi said.

"Your Majesty, it's time to meet with that Tao Valley!" Feng Yansi reminded.

"Yes! Since the agreement is divided, this specific matter of sending troops must be agreed in advance! Li Jing said: "Send someone to summon him into the palace!" ”

In the hotel, seeing someone from the Tang Palace, Tao Gu felt excited, packed up, and went to the Tang Palace to meet him.

When he arrived in the palace, Tao Gu regained his awe-inspiring color, but when he faced Feng Yansi, his eyes flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look at him. As a result, in the process of agreeing with the Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs to attack Chu, they were somewhat weak.

For Tao Gu's envoy this time, Liu Chengyou was granted full power, and let him have full authority to fool the Southern Tang Dynasty and carry out this fraudulent strategy.

In the discussion of details, Tao Gu seems to be calculating, but every time it is critical, it shows that it is weak and lacks confidence.

The final result was that Li Jingjunchen was satisfied, and it was basically decided that the matter of attacking Chu would be led by the Southern Tang Dynasty. In terms of profit distribution, Tao Gu "made the decision" and ceded Changsha City......

The Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were happy, but they didn't know that no matter what the result of the negotiation was, it didn't matter to Liu Chengyou and Han Ting.

Yanziji, as an important ferry port and garrison base in Jinling, is very lively with people coming and going.

With Tao Valley's eyesight, he can find that this place is steep and is a place for soldiers, but he can't see how well it is defended. Of course, he didn't care.

In front of the ferry, the big ship for the Han envoys is dispatching and just waiting to board the boat.

However, before crossing to the north, Feng Yansi, the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent people to send a few gifts to Tao Gu, although he did not send them in person, but he was still sincere.

One hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, a hundred horses of silk, and the two dancing girls who were ** by him.

"Tao Envoy Jun, my family is inconvenient to send each other, I hope to forgive me, let the villain inform you, the friendship between the two sides, please don't forget each other!" Feng Yansi's subordinates respectfully said to Tao Gu.

Tao Gu's interest didn't seem to be high, and his performance was still obvious, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, so he could only reluctantly respond: "You go back and reply to Feng Gong, just say that his mind is accepted!" ”

After getting on the boat, hoisting the sails and heading north, after reaching the middle of the river, standing on the side of the ship, Tao Gu laughed loudly, very happy, and shouted in his heart: I have succeeded!

Thinking of his "not easy" time in Jinling, drinking, socializing, dedicating, and fighting wits with the Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs, Tao Gu only felt that he should treat himself well.

returned to the cabin and called the two dancing girls sent by Feng Yansi to accompany him to drink and play. After enjoying the singing and dancing, Tao Gu asked one of the beauties to sit beside him.

The girl came and poured two glasses of wine, Tao Gu drank with her, suddenly stretched out her fingers and lifted her chin, and asked casually: "Gong Feng sent you to me, didn't you have any other thoughts!" ”

Sure enough, it was a singer cultivated by Gaomen, although she was young, she was still clever, and when she heard this, she immediately wanted to cry, knelt down and said: "The two maids, the body and mind already belong to the master, how can they have different hearts?" ”

Where could Tao Gu stand that delicate appearance, and immediately hugged him into his arms, so that he could be comforted.
