Gu Han's overall strategy is two.

Northeast talks.

Northwest hit.

The northeast, naturally the area controlled by Zhang Zhongwu now, has a vast territory and complex forms, once it is trapped, it is very likely that it will be planted headlong into a war quagmire, deep in it, and it is difficult to pull out, and in the end, even if it pays a painful price to take that place, there is a considerable possibility that it will lose the first hand in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, and will even be thrown away by the opponent, and it will no longer be qualified to win the world. The best-case scenario is to dominate one side and cede the land as the king.

And the fight in the northwest is not to take the initiative to attack, but to passively wait for the opponent to attack, and then give the opponent a heavy blow, which will hurt and fear the opponent, so as to completely settle down in the northwest.

After satisfying these two conditions, the Zhenzhou Imperial Court will be able to completely free up its hands, kill Zhu Wen first, and then step on the south of the Yangtze River, and after dominating the world, then turn back to deal with the things behind.

This is indeed contrary to the previous grand strategic direction of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court, but I have to say that Gu Han's context is quite clear, and the reason is also sufficient.

How big is the Northeast and how bad the natural conditions are at this time, others don't know, can he Li Ze not know? Originally, he hoped that Zhang Zhongwu's thief would not die and gather troops in Pingzhou to fight to the death, but with the gathering of 100,000 slave troops in Pingzhou, this hope has actually failed.

This point, not only Li Ze saw it, but Zhang Hui's grandson Changming naturally also saw it, otherwise, Zhang Hui would not have been so moved after seeing Gu Han's scroll.

In fact, the core trio of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court are already discussing how to face the current situation.

Gu Han's strategy goes straight to the core.

If this point was raised by the senior official within the Zhenzhou Group, Li Ze didn't care about it, because these people must have a lot of information, but Gu Han only relied on his early years of travel and judgment of the current situation to make such a strategic plan, so Li Ze couldn't help but be impressed.

It can only be said that there is a missing pearl in the grass, and it depends on that you don't have a pair of discerning eyes to find him.

"With your talent, you are enough to win the top prize." Li Zeyang raised Gu Han's policy paper in his hand, "But I can't take you, not only the champion, but also the top eye, Tanhua, you have no chance to get it, you may understand this?" ”

The chagrin and disappointment on Gu Han's face flashed away.

"Is it because of this policy that it is the policy that Li Xiang is going to implement?" He asked.

"Clever!" Li Zedao: "In fact, we are indeed preparing to do this, but what we have considered is not as comprehensive as what you wrote above, we have only considered the direction of Zhang Zhongwu in the northeast, and for the northwest, it has not yet been put on the agenda." But we don't want to let the outside world know what we think so quickly. ”

"Strategic deception?"

"Not bad. Soon, we will have a big battle with Zhang Zhongwu in Pingzhou, with the aim of defeating his slave army. Li Ze said: "Recently, his slave army has repeatedly invaded Mozhou, burning, killing and looting everything, creating a terrifying atmosphere on the border, and there is no way to talk about his majesty without killing him." ”

"In this way, Zhu Wen and his party have a great possibility to judge that our confrontation with Zhang Zhongwu will be strengthened, and his focus will really turn to the south, and our chances will be greater." Li Ze said: "So, you can't get what should be yours." Because the champion, the eye, and the strategy of exploring flowers are to be promulgated by the world. If you win the top prize with this strategy, I am afraid that people will get a glimpse of our true strategic concept from this strategy of yours. ”

"Understood." Gu Han nodded.

"You will be in the Jinshi, but you will also be ranked lower in the Jinshi." Li Ze continued: "Then, you will be sent to serve under Liu Chenglin. Would you like to? ”

Gu Han was stunned and didn't answer immediately.

"Since you have proposed this strategy, then, the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and you will be responsible for the peace talks with Zhang Zhongwu." Li Ze said with a smile: "How is the position of the judge of the march of the right guard?" ”

Gu Han didn't know what to say at all.

"Even if you win the champion, you only have to be awarded the seventh grade. But the right Xiaowei marching judge is a serious and obedient from the five grades. Zhang Hui said with a smile: "If you have no special merits, if you want to be promoted from the seventh rank to the fifth grade, I am afraid that it will take about ten years, and the civil official will be promoted to the official, but there is no military future as fast." You started from Wupin, but you left the people who were with you far behind. ”

"Suddenly jumping to a high position, isn't it suspicious, and it's hard to convince people?" Gu Han said authentically.

"This is Li's compliment to you, and it is also a kind of compensation." Gongsun Changming continued: "Although the champion is only awarded the seventh grade, he can be famous all over the world in the blink of an eye. Others get the name, you get the truth. ”

"And it's not all!" Li Zedao: "When negotiating with Zhang Zhongwu in the future, you also need an official with a sufficient level, otherwise there is no way to carry out some things at all." To give you enough levels is to give you enough power. Would you like to go? ”

Gu Han thought for a moment, stood up, and said, "Minister, you are willing to go." ”

"Very good!" Li Ze smiled: "Then from now on, you will forget about your strategy!" When the results of the exam are all out, you can go to the right guard to take up your duties. It will also be good for you to go and see how our army fights in the future. ”

"Thank you, Li Xiang." Gu Han heard the unusual meaning from this sentence, and clenched his fists to the ground.

Gu Han, who left the Prime Minister's Mansion, was directly arranged in Wuwei Academy, although he lost the opportunity to become the champion and become famous in the world, but Gu Han had a much higher starting point than others. In fact, for a person like Gu Han, the actual harvest like this at the moment can make him more satisfied.

In today's conversation, Li Ze actually granted him full authority to negotiate with Zhang Zhongwu. The meaning here is much bigger than the name of a champion.

When he was lying down and sleeping contentedly, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Ze, Zhang Hui, and Gongsun Changming were still discussing in the brightly lit room.

And at this moment, the entire Wuyi has almost all fallen into darkness.

The night is already very deep.

"The corruption case of the Hedong water conservancy project is gone." Li Zedao: "Yang Kai was very annoyed, originally he thought that he had caught an excellent handle, and was about to use this as an opportunity to open the impermeable iron bucket of Hedong Prefectures, but unfortunately, the chess was a little late, and when his people arrived in Hedong, the damned people were all dead, and the people who should disappear were all gone, and there was no lost handle left for him." ”

"Han Qi is worthy of being a soldier, he acted neatly, killed decisively, and hundreds of lives, just after he gave an order, he died cleanly." Gongsun Changming sighed: "Li Xiang, this also fully shows that in Hedong, it is still his Han Qi's world!" ”

"That's how it is!" Li Zedao: "It will take time to pry this iron plate, but ah, this matter, Han Qi is indeed a good way to deal with it, but it also makes some people scared and frightened, and some people begin to test us and want to get closer to us. ”

"What is Zhong Hao going to do with that leaker?" Zhang Hui asked.

"This is what makes Yang Kai angry." Li Ze stretched out his hands, "Zhong Hao confessed this matter to Yang Kai on the third day, and he thinks that it is necessary to report this matter to Han Qi, the reason is naturally high-sounding, this matter is to make trouble for me, what can I say?" Shouldn't I report to Han Qi? That would only embarrass me, so Yang Kai had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. It's just that the corresponding work adjustments were made afterwards, and Zhong Hao will never be able to contact this kind of secret report in the future. ”

"This is Yang Kai's dereliction of duty!" Gongsun Changming said.

"Yang Kai has asked me for his guilt, he has too many things on his shoulders now, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent." Li Ze lightly relieved Yang Kai of his responsibility, "Tian Bo should bear greater responsibility for this matter." But if there is a loss, there will be a gain, and now we can be regarded as prying a crack in the east of the river, take your time, you can't be in a hurry, and if you are in a hurry, it will be bad. ”

"If you are sure to make a big move in the northwest, then Hedong is indeed in chaos now, and you can't move the people there at will." Zhang replied: "Once Tubo prepares for a large-scale invasion, with the current situation in the border towns, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist, and then we can only mobilize the two armies of Li Cunzhong and Zhang Jia nearby, and it is really not appropriate to tear our faces now." We'll talk about it after winning this battle. ”

"The internal guards immediately asked in Chang'an to verify whether Zhu Wen and Tubo were colluding." Li Zedao: "At the same time, it is also necessary to send a large number of spies to the Tubo sphere of influence to find out the other party's military horse movements, grain and grass preparations, etc., if they want to invade on a large scale, these things cannot be hidden." Now I can't trust the generals of the border towns. ”

"It's really bad." Gongsun Changming laughed and said, "It's broken, so we can clean up the mess." Li Xiang, in addition to Zhang Jia and Li Cunzhong, Xue Chong's Zuo Jin Wuwei, Min Rou's Zuo Jianjunwei, including the left and right Qianniuwei, must be prepared for a certain amount of war. ”

"Although it is beneficial for us to say that these border towns are defeated, if they are destroyed, the local people will suffer." Li Ze shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, even if we are willing to send troops on a large scale to support them now, are they willing to let us in?" ”

"I'm afraid they'll think we're stealing their territory." Gongsun Changming said: "So, if these people are not removed, how can there be peace in the world?" ”

"Tomorrow, arrange for Li De and Li Hao to come to see me." Li Ze said to Gongsun Changming: "In addition, let's inform Han Qi and You Yong to participate in tomorrow's meeting." ”
