When Gongsun Changming found Li Ze, Li Ze was squatting on the ground in the backyard, digging the ground with a small hoe, and then knocking the excavated soil finely.

There is only one ridge of land, and it seems that Li Ze has been working here for a short time, and most of the land has been sorted out.

Gongsun Changming squatted beside Li Ze, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, and when his fingers were released, the fine pieces of soil slipped between his fingers. Gongsun Changming understood that this was a thing that Li Ze had insisted on for a long time, and from the time he first went to Daqingshan Zhuangzi a few years ago, he found that Li Ze had been insisting on doing one thing.

That's breeding.

In Li Ze's words, it is an improved variety.

Every year, the good seeds are given to the most experienced farmers to plant, and then the next year, the best seeds are sent back, and the process is repeated.

"Why do you have to do such a thing yourself?" Gongsun Changming said with a smile: "At that time, you didn't have anything to do, and you were idle, but now you have a lot of opportunities, besides, you don't have to be better than those old farmers when you do this kind of thing, right?" In the past few years, those old people's breeding methods are much better than yours! ”

"I know!" Wiping the sweat from his face, Li Ze dropped the hoe, stood up, walked to the sink on the side, washed his hands, and wiped his hands on the placket. "It's just that when I'm used to it, when I'm upset, I come to work and sweat, isn't this spring coming soon? Spring ploughing is also about to begin, and this ridge is going to be tended anyway. ”

"What's bothering you?" Gongsun Changming asked with a smile.

Li Ze let out a long breath and did not speak, but walked to a pavilion not far away with his hands behind his back and sat down. Gongsun Changming also followed and sat opposite him.

"The matter of Hedong?"

Li Ze nodded: "Mr. Gongsun, since the day you met me, what I have been doing is living the people, and I can truly say that I am worthy of the sky and not afraid of people." But this time, I was really hurting someone. According to the strategy we had drawn up earlier, Li Detong led 8,000 cavalry to copy the back road of Delhi Chinan, forcing Delhi Chinan to rush into Hedong. ”

Gongsun Changming laughed, Zhang Jia's military report had not yet arrived in Wuyi, otherwise, he would definitely go to the military headquarters first, and then to the secretary and supervisor, but now he doesn't know, but Li Ze already knew first, naturally because of the internal guard, Li Ze knew the news in advance. This strategy, which was originally formulated by him, has finally reached the predetermined goal, how can he not be happy?

Talk in the northeast, fight in the northwest. This is Li Zeda's strategic thinking. But this northwest also includes Hedong. But the problem is that Hedong defected to Li Ze on the bright side, and Han Qi was an official in the same dynasty as Li Ze, and under Li Ze's subordinates, he has always been respectful, at least, on the surface.

But in fact, the current Hedong is still self-contained.

This is not in Li Ze's overall interests. Therefore, Hedong must be truly integrated into Li Ze's system.

Then, Han Qi's small circle must be broken.

So Gongsun Changming made this plan.

"Why should Li Xiang feel guilty, I made this plan, I don't have to worry about a lot of debts anyway, and I don't have a lot of lice, even if there is retribution in the dark, it will be retribution on me." Gongsun Changming disagreed.

"I don't believe in retribution or retribution." Li Ze shook his head: "I approved this plan, otherwise how could it be implemented?" Or maybe my heart isn't hard enough, right? As long as I think of the calamity that those ordinary people in Hedong will suffer this time, I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"Anything you do, you have to pay a price." Gongsun Changming said with a straight face: "The superior needs to consider it holistically, Li Xiang, you should think about the final result, not the process." In the current situation, how can any undead achieve their goal? In order to force Zhang Zhongwu to negotiate peace with us, in the first battle of Pingzhou, those savages, Zahu, and slave soldiers were killed or captured by us Tens of thousands, can it be said that they are not Tang people, so they are not people? It's the same. Even though they look different, they speak different things, they have the same customs, but they are the same as us, with a head on their shoulders, they will be sad, they will be happy, they will be angry, there are good people, there are bad people, there are poor people. ”

Li Ze smiled slightly and nodded.

"That's right!"

"Therefore, Li Xiang, you don't need to be upset about Hedong's affairs at all, and it is Han Qi and others who are responsible for this." Gongsun Changming said coldly: "Delhi Chinan entered Hedong, just adhering to the purpose of destruction, didn't Han Qi still hide 10,000 soldiers in Hedong?" It's time to take it out and slip around. If he felt that these 10,000 people were not the opponents of Delhi Chinan, he should have sent a distress letter to Li Xiang as soon as possible to express his attitude to Li Xiang. ”

"This time, even if he doesn't ask me for help, I'll send troops." Li Zedao.

"Of course, this is our best chance to enter Hedong." Gongsun Changming said: "If Han Qi really dares to transfer troops back from Yinzhou, then this person will really not be able to stay." ”

Gongsun Changming's meaning is very clear, now Han Qi is in Yinzhou and Suizhou, fighting against the Tubo army with 40,000 horses, and he is on the weak side above the military strength, relying on the Tang soldiers to be more well-trained, better equipped, and better logistical supplies, while the Tubo people are fighting on a long journey.

But overall, the two sides are even.

If Han Qi had sent troops back because of something in Hedong, he would have lost in Yinzhou and Suizhou, even if he returned to the division and annihilated the Delhi Chixiang Division, but in the overall situation, he still lost.

And this is for the sake of selfish interests and disregard for public interests.

Therefore, Gongsun Changming said that if Han Qi really dared to do this, then this person would not be able to stay, and he must be killed as soon as possible. If Han Qi does not transfer troops but asks Li Ze for help, then Li Ze's descendants will enter Hedong on the spot, thus bringing Hedong into the system.

At this time, Han Qi was fighting in Ansui, and he couldn't care about his back anymore, and Li Zeyan was tied to Hedong, so he couldn't help those powerful families. Of course, if Han Qi did this, it would be tantamount to acquiescing to such a thing.

Because of the earlier arrangement, no matter what kind of reaction Han Qi makes, the Tubo people will not take any advantage, but in this process, the Hedong people must bear the burning, killing and looting after the Delhi Chi Nan flows in. There were so many casualties that it was a sure thing to happen.

So Li Ze felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The plan formulated by Gongsun Changming is indeed poisonous and spicy enough, but it is also effective enough.

Yang Tian roared, Li Ze exhaled a breath of turbidity, by this time, the plan had already been launched, what should have happened, and what was happening was also happening, all Li Ze could do was to continue to push the incident according to the plan until the plan was finally completed. When that happens, it's just a matter of making some compensation to Hedong.

"Mr. Gongsun, do you think I'm a little hypocritical and a little shameless? Some cats cry rats fake compassion? Li Ze smiled bitterly and said to Gongsun Changming.

"No, I also hope that Li Xiang you will be more shameless, when Li Xiang will not change your face when facing such a thing, and deal with it calmly, it will really be the blessing of the country. Your eyes should not be in a corner, but in the world. The bodhisattva's heart, the thunderbolt means, when it is time to do, will not be soft. Gongsun Changming said categorically.

"If Zhang Gong hears your words, I'm afraid I'll be scolding you again." Li Ze shook his head and smiled.

"Me and him are light and dark, yin and yang. Only by complementing each other can we complement each other and be invincible. That old miscellaneous hair still hasn't figured it out. How can he achieve great things just by relying on his set? If the world is peaceful, people like me naturally have no reason to exist, but in troubled times, people like me are indispensable. Gongsun Changming said angrily.

"Sir is in the dark, but his heart is full of light." Li Zedao: "Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, Mr. has a place to play." ”

Gongsun Changming smiled and said: "If it is really a peaceful and prosperous world, I can retire and find a paradise to recuperate, and strive to live for a few more years." ”

Li Ze couldn't help but be silent, looking at Gongsun Changming's thin body, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, the things that Gongsun Changming manipulated did have a very dark side, and it was precisely because of this that he was exhausted and exhausted. And Li Ze also knows that how can a person like Gongsun Changming not be tortured deep in his heart because of these plans of his own?

This is a person who looks like a demon, but is actually a Buddha.

"Tu Lichun's Zuo Weiwei will soon open to the east of the river. Next, the cavalry of the right Wuwei led by Li De will also enter the east of the river, and Wang Sili's left Qianniuwei is ready to be pulled, and even the right Qianniuwei is ready to be pulled out at any time. Li Ze said: "This time, we must cripple Tocharo, so that the little Zampu of Tubo has the courage to attack him, so that we can be safe for some years." ”

"As soon as Tu Lichun moves, those hidden dangers in the river will be exposed immediately, what they are waiting for is such an opportunity, Jing Xiang is probably staring at us with wide eyes at this moment!" Gongsun Changming said.

Li Ze smiled slightly: "Then I think that Jing Xiang will definitely harvest a big surprise in the river." Ding Jian, Tian Bo, and Tu Lichun have been looking forward to this moment for a long time. It is also good to pull out those tumors in the river in one fell swoop, and knock out Jingxiang alive, so that they can feel a pain. ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they both laughed.

"Li Xiang, in fact, I came here today to have another good news to tell. I didn't want to, but I heard Zhang Jia's good news first. Gongsun Changming said with a smile.

"It should be something from Pingzhou, right?" Li Ze asked.

"It is the seeds we sown that have finally taken root, blossomed and bore fruit." Gongsun Changming said with a smile.
