Volume 3 Spring and Autumn Chapter 231 Lingyun Ambition
"Lu Lao, if there is anything you don't know and don't understand, I'll give you all the doubts today, there are not many opportunities, it's hard to miss it, how about it, do you want to think about it?" Because he was going to leave Jiangning for Yangzhou in a few days, in order to dilute the sorrow of separation, Cao Yi deliberately said to Lu Lao like a treasure at this time.
Lu Lao smiled faintly, among so many students, his favorite was Cao Yi, although Cao Yi's identity as a closed disciple occupied a large factor. But the main reason is Cao Yi's intelligence and intelligence, as well as his attitude towards others, such as treating himself, if it is another student, whether it is a Taoist disciple or a registered disciple, or a beginner disciple, they are all respectful, do things at a glance, and dare not gasp, only Cao Yi is this kind of feeling of being a teacher and a friend.
remembered that when the two of them first met, they were still under the crooked neck tree by the Qinhuai River, and they played chess there almost every day, but the opponent had something to do temporarily. is that the chess technique is too aggressive and utilitarian, and he still had a lot of ideas at the time, but he didn't expect to be bluffed by his sentence "A chess game is not enough to see wisdom", but later it turned out that for Cao Yi, this is indeed the case, and not only in the chess technique, Cao Yi's treatment of people and things, and his way of speaking, all reflect the meaning of this sentence.
For Lu Lao, he now enjoys the way of communication with Cao Yi more and more, although it seems that Cao Yi is not so respectful, but as long as he knows that Cao Yi respects himself in his heart, his usual verbal remarks and some behaviors make the two get along more harmoniously, and there is no sense of distance.
Lu Lao also smiled, "It's okay, since you like to show off your erudition so much, I will also satisfy you, huh...... Let me ask you what's good, that's it, I just got this news a while ago, the party Xiang Tuoba Jiqian deceived and killed the capital inspector Cao Guangshi, what do you think about this matter? ”
"What? Li Jiqian is openly anti-inflammatory? Cao Yi exclaimed.
Lu Lao nodded, he deliberately did not say Li Jiqian, but said that Tuoba Jiqian was to test Cao Yi, because now the world knows more about Li Jiqian, that is, Li Jiqian's brother, who is receiving the reward of today's saint in Kaifeng, Tokyo at this time. Since their ancestors were given the surname Li for their merits in suppressing the Huangchao Uprising, the surname Tuoba has basically never been mentioned again. And Li Jiqian has already fled back to Yinzhou, and attacked Xiazhou, but failed to suffer, and then has been connected with the party and the wealthy clans, recently the army has begun to be strong again, and a few days ago I also got the news that Li Jiqian first deceived Cao Guangshi out of the city with a fraudulent surrender, at that time Cao Guangshi just brought a few entourages with him, but was ambushed and killed by Li Jiqian, and openly rebelled against the Yan Dynasty, so he asked this question.
"Which direction do you think this is going to take?"
"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic!" Cao Yi pursed his lips and said angrily.
"Huh?" Lu Lao asked puzzled.
"It is difficult to lose the five states, lose the Hexi Corridor, lack of Liao war horses, and lead to the disaster of destroying the country," Cao Yi muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Lu Lao asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, I mean it's going to be a big trouble in the future."
"Oh? Why do you say that, as far as I know, the Holy Lord has already sent Li Jilong to crusade. ”
"Although Li Jiqian's strength is weak now, he is ambitious, knows how to forbear, and will not be hard-hitting, Li Jilong will definitely defeat Li Jiqian and return with a big victory, but Li Jiqian is very good at playing some tricks of the enemy advancing and I retreating, and the enemy retreats and I advance, I can't kill it, I can't get rid of it, although at present, with his strength, he can only stick to his soil, but he can also be regarded as able to survive and survive, and the follow-up with the advancement of time, and the development of his own strength, will gradually become the trouble of Dayan." Cao Yi exhaled and said.
"Oh, Cao Yi, why did you say that?"
"Guess! Isn't Li Jiqian already disobeying my dynasty in the seventh year of Yongxi, he has been jumping until now, and he is still alive, every time he goes to the restaurant, those talented scholars are discussing these, and I only need to stand aside to understand the ** is not far from ten. Cao Yi said lightly.
Lu Lao nodded, no longer entangled in this little problem, and asked Cao Yi: "If you were Li Jiqian, what would you do?" ”
"Am I Li Jiqian? It's very simple, just don't be embarrassed, rely on Liao's inflammation, and come from left and right. Cao Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully, but there was a faint hint of admiration in his eyes. This Li Jiqian, however, has really brought guerrilla warfare into full play.
"Haha, it's a good sentence to rely on Liao, left and right!" Lu Lao let out a hearty laugh, and then said: "But as you said, with his current strength, he can only stick to his soil, at most, it is the same as before." ”
"Theoretically, it can only be like this, but he can live like this for the first time, waiting for the time to come." Cao Yi said softly.
"When?"
"Make good friends with Dali and Tubo, test left and right between Liao and Yan, seek to maximize interests, wait for the civil strife in Shuchuan in the Yan Dynasty, unite the Liao Dynasty, go south from the sixteen states of Yanyun on the one hand, and advance eastward from the five states of Dingnan on the other hand, the momentum of thunder, go all out to invade the border, retreat when you encounter a large army, eat a small share, plunder more people and resources to go back, consume the strength of the Yan Dynasty while strengthening your own strength, and finally slowly Tuyan." Although Cao Yi said slowly and his voice was not heavy, in just a few words, he immediately restrained his smile when he said it, and his face sank.
Veteran Lu Cao Yi's words were analyzed and reasoned several times before and after the reality, and found that it was indeed the most correct strategy at present, if the party really continued to implement this strategy, the entire Great Yan would really be slowly eaten away by a boiled frog in warm water until it decayed.
"Is this the worst outcome?"
"Yes...... I once said to Taizu that on the side of the couch, how can I allow others to snore, how domineering, but it was just said to Li Houzhu, who was unable to resist his wife and was bullied, and he broke his promise for the party, Dali, and the Liao Dynasty. If the five states are not taken back at the beginning, the more they drag it out, and when the party is ripe, it will be the day when they will establish the country and become the emperor, and then the party force will really turn from a small illness to a major problem. ”
So how do you get rid of him before he becomes trouble? Lu Lao's eyes were obscure, and he asked in a low voice.
"Intercept and kill Li Jiqian with the power of a thunderbolt, cut through the chaos with a quick knife, if you can't kill it, then ceremoniously reward his brother Li Jichong, divide them internally, and if it doesn't work, reward the patriarchs of other party items, divide the five states of Dingyan, divide their strength, let them fight for their own internal battles, and when the internal friction is about the same, they will be broken one by one. And we can also practice the Guiyi Army, they are basically Han blood, and the heart is great, we can secretly support, they want money, we send money, if they want materials and weapons, we will send materials and weapons, and after they develop and grow, we will cooperate with them inside and outside, and it will be difficult for the five states, and the day can be broken. Cao Yi groaned for a while and spoke, his eyes flashing with wind and thunder.
"Okay, if the party item has been solved by us now, how should we deal with Da Liao?"
"Immediately attack the Hexi Corridor, take it into your pocket, the Hexi Corridor is the throat road to the Western Regions, so that we will greatly reduce the pressure of the invasion of the nomads in the west, we can enter the Western Regions, retreat can hold the northwest, and from then on trade with the Western Regions can make the government of the Dynasty a steady stream of wealth, and the Hexi Corridor is an excellent horse-producing land, with excellent war horses, we can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, if properly trained, our iron cavalry plus our weapons and equipment advantages, can even sweep all the way to the northern Xinjiang, It is not impossible to cross the Mohe River and reach Lake Baikal all the way, and as for Goryeo, it is only easy to destroy it. ”
Cao Yi said that later, his blood also began to boil, as an angry youth in his previous life, he did not do some things on the Internet forum if the Northern Song Dynasty received the Hexi Corridor, what kind of obscenity would be, today's conversation just led out the thoughts he usually hid in the depths of his heart.
But all of this comes from the four words of the Hexi Corridor, with it, there is a series of events behind, if not, then there is really nothing. Although the current dynasty is called Dayan, it is the same as the Great Song Dynasty in history, the same cup of wine to release military power, the same emphasis on literature and military suppression, in Cao Yi's own judgment, if the Great Yan Dynasty still develops in the current way, then the wheel of history will still be like the previous Song Dynasty, the Jurchen rise further north of the Liao State, the Jin Dynasty and the Great Yan North and South Sandwich the Liao State, Jin destroyed the Liao, and then captured half of the Yan Dynasty, and the Yan Dynasty Gou Yan crossed to the south and lived in Lin'an......
And what Cao Yi wants to do most now is to change this history, although he doesn't want to admit it, in fact, he is an out-and-out nationalist, but he usually doesn't show it and hides it deeply, but now that he has traveled to this era, if he really has the opportunity, then he doesn't mind taking advantage of his crossing to drive out the Tartars and restore the ancient territory of the Han and Tang dynasties......
Lu Lao was also infected by Cao Yi's ambition, and he had the strength of an old man to talk about juvenile madness, picked up his wine cup and touched a bowl with Cao Yi, and shouted: "Even if what you say is just a variety of possibilities, it also makes people listen to the blood of the blood, and when you are a big white!" ”
Only now did he understand the patriotism and defense of the country described by Cao Yi in "Jiangchengzi", the sentence "Look northwest, shoot the wolf", maybe every good man has the blood and pride to resist the party and the Liao country.
