When Yang Jiong saw Li Zhongyi, he sighed for a long time, but he didn't open his mouth to explain his intentions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Zhongyi secretly laughed, in the previous life, he was able to climb to the leadership position at the department and bureau level, and it was absolutely impossible for him to lack patience.

Now, Li Zhongyi is even more powerful, and he is a well-known politician, how can he lose his identity?

As early as when Li Zhongyi was still participating in political affairs, Yang Jiong had dealt with him many times, and knew that if the Li Xianggong in front of him wanted to pretend to be stupid, he could definitely sit for several hours without spitting out half a word.

Yang Jiong originally didn't plan to be patient with Li Zhongyi, it was definitely a thankless stupid thing, after he drank half a cup of tea, he coughed lightly, arched his hand and said: "Xiaguan congratulates Li Xianggong on his miraculous achievements for the imperial court, God really bless me Da Zhou." ”

Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, in his impression, Yang Jiong was a very proud guy, and he had always disdained to slap horses.

Because Yang Jiong is Fan Zhen's confidant, and he has always been in charge of the affairs in the political hall, only when others pat him on the back, he can proudly ask no one.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and this is not false at all, Yang Jiong's sycophants against his will obviously cannot make Li Zhongyi useful.

Li Zhongyi stared at the teacup in his hand, as if Yang Jiong was air, and the whole thing was ignored.

Yang Jiong shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving the father and son of King Wei, and naturally it was impossible to learn Li Zhongyi's pretending to be stupid, he brewed for a while, and then he gave up his hand and said: "Don't hide it from Li Xianggong, Brother Yelu Xiu has set more harsher conditions than last time, 10 million yuan in money, 1 million horses in silk silk......"

As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this, he immediately laughed, Yang Jiong didn't understand Yelu Xiuge's mentality, let alone what he thought about Li, this was obviously fooling.

If Li Zhongyi's prediction was correct, Yelu Hugo would have refused to negotiate instead of offering such outrageous conditions.

The reason is very simple, only by deliberately pretending not to talk about it can it be possible to get the maximum benefit and get a higher extortion price.

The problem is that Yang Jiong doesn't know how many patriarchs or elders on the grassland have fallen into Li Zhongyi's hands.

Today's Li Zhongyi actually doesn't need to care too much about the life and death of King Wei's father and son, even if the negotiations finally break down completely, as long as the imperial court does not completely solve the Li family's grasp, Li Zhongyi and the old Li family are safe.

Yang Jiong's appearance actually represented Fan Zhen's move, which seemed to exert a lot of negotiating pressure on Li Zhongyi on the surface, but in fact, it left Li Zhongyi with a lot of room for prevarication.

Objectively speaking, after nearly a hundred years of war, the Great Zhou Dynasty was only stable for ten years, and whether it was taxes, land production or population, it was far from reaching the grand occasion of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

10 million yuan per year, which is an amount that the Great Zhou Dynasty can never afford, let alone 1 million silk horses.

As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this condition, he knew that Yelu Hugo had no sincerity in negotiating, not to mention that the father and son of King Wei were just relatives of the Chai family, even if they were the grandfathers of the little emperor, they could not be so valuable.

Yang Jiong, as the rear official of the five-room public affairs hall and the confidant of Fan Zhen, is naturally clear about Da Zhou's family background.

Therefore, Yang Jiong sighed and said, "I'm afraid that this matter will have to be grinded." However, fortunately, Li Xianggong won successive battles and won Yuguan, and he could raise troops to enter Youzhou anytime and anywhere. ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, although Yang Jiong is not familiar with military affairs, he is not purely military blind, and it is not unusual to guess the purpose of his insistence on garrisoning Yuguan.

In addition to fighting money and food, fighting a war is more about strategy and tactics, of which strategy is the most important.

After Li Zhongyi locked Yuguan, he invisibly cut off the effective control of the Khitan State over the northeast region.

Not only that, but it also caused the grassland departments in the northeast region to lose the nearest southbound route, so that the Khitan State could not take care of the whole thing, which has to be said to be a cruel move.

More importantly, with the current situation that Li Jiajun has completely completed the transformation of mules and horses, it is only four days to go west out of Yuguan to attack Youzhou.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the grassland tribes often encountered natural disasters, and their survival was greatly threatened, so they went south to rob the population and materials of the Han people in order to survive the famine.

After the Khitan state, due to the acquisition of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the production in the field alone was enough to feed the entire Khitan tribe, and the motivation to go south to rob was much weaker than before.

What is extremely frightening is that Yuguan is in the hands of Li Zhongyi, and the large tracts of fertile and fertile fields east of Youzhou to the west of Yuguan are no longer possible for normal planting and production activities, unless the Khitan State sends enough troops to hoard under Yuguan.

The problem is that this is likely to be a bottomless pit, because the Great Zhou can reinforce Yuguan from the sea anytime and anywhere, or force Youzhou along Baigou to the west.

It is precisely because Li Zhongyi pinched the throat of Yuguan that it can be said that he hit the fate of the Khitan Kingdom, so in order to continue to rob the south without hindrance, the Khitans will definitely attack with their nests.

The problem is that the Han people in the south are originally good at building and defending cities, and the Khitans are playing up their weaknesses and avoiding their strengths, so how many thousands of lives do they have to take out to fill this bottomless pit, which is indeed an extremely headache.

Maybe Yang Jiong's sycophant shot is quite sincere, Li Zhongyi is a little proud in his heart, originally the Khitan Kingdom had an immediate advantage, but because of the existence of the big bug in Yuguan, a large part of its strategic advantage was canceled out.

With the national strength of the Great Zhou, if you want to fight a long-term war of attrition with the Khitan State in Yuguan, even a fool knows that the Khitan State has almost no chance of winning.

More importantly, because Li Zhongyi conquered the Dangxiang clan in the northwest, the current Great Zhou no longer has the strategic disadvantage of fighting in a connected line.

On the contrary, it is the Khitan State, and it is no longer easy to go south, otherwise, as soon as the Khitan soldiers and horses leave Youzhou, the Li Jiajun will go out of the Guanxi and advance westward, and the strategic dilemma of the two-front battle is clear at a glance.

"Boyo, this negotiation matter is in a hurry, and it will take some time!" What Li Zhongyi said was reasonable, even if Yang Jiong wanted to take back King Wei's father and son immediately, he could only reluctantly accept the reality.

After sending Yang Jiong away, Li Zhongyi returned to the study in the backyard and wrote a letter by himself, ordering his henchmen to take advantage of the shipowner to go to Goryeo overnight, and be sure to hand over the letter to Zhou Daozhong, the commander of the Xiangjun Naval Division, who had been stationed in Goryeo.

Zhou Daozhong is a distant relative of the former prime minister Yang Ningshi's wife, Chai Rong ascended the throne not long after, Yang Ningshi died of illness, Zhou Daozhong instantly fell backer, and his career has been very unsmooth.

When Li Zhongyi went east to Goryeo, because he needed the assistance of the sailor, he became attached to Zhou Daozhong.

After Li Zhongyi was promoted to the governor of the political affairs, Zhou Daozhong was shrewd, and seeing that Li Zhongyi was becoming more and more powerful, he pushed the boat closer and came over and worshiped under his door.

Because Li Zhongyi attaches more importance to the naval army than anyone else, so over the years, he has been placing Zhou Daozhong in the Goryeo Kingdom, with two purposes, one is to secretly master and use the resources of the Goryeo Kingdom, and the other is to test Zhou Daozhong's loyalty.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch, which means that his subordinates can choose the master, but the lord has more power to choose his subordinates.

After so many years of communication and running-in, Li Zhongyi also understood Zhou Daozhong's character, this person is more greedy for money and lustful, but his political position is extremely firm, and he has always moved closer to him.

People walk in the officialdom, unless they are super bulls, otherwise, playing the trick of wall grass, and trying to meet the source left and right are all dead.

Zhou Daozhong obviously understood this, even if Li Zhongyi had pressed him in the Goryeo Kingdom for so many years, he never complained.

Li Zhongyi is an old fritter who has mixed up with officialdom, although he did not promote Zhou Daozhong on the surface, he secretly instructed Zhou Daozhong to help do a lot of shady things.

Compared with official affairs, helping to do things in private can better reflect the friendship between each other. In particular, he uses public power to do private affairs for his backers and get closer to him.

Li Zhongyi was busy in the study for a while, and by the time he finished dealing with the business at hand, it was already late at night.

Li Cuixuan, who had been waiting for pen and ink, secretly found that Li Zhongyi's eyes had been shaking around her, and her heart couldn't help trembling slightly, she secretly complained in her heart, in the dead of night, it was a lonely man and a widow alone, and it was difficult to think of something.

The longer Li Cuixuan and Li Zhongyi get along, the more they understand Li Zhongyi's temper, this bastard has the common problem that all men have - very horny.

However, compared with ordinary lascivious men, Li Zhongyi was able to tolerate Li Cuixuan all the time and did not forcibly break her body, which made Li Cuixuan understand more clearly, this is a lascivious man with some taste.

It's just that Li Zhongyi is a little wilted, and often holds Li Cuixuan in his arms, although she is not really ecstatic, but it also makes her feel emotional, itchy and numb, and unable to quench her thirst, which is really bad!

The affairs of men and women, in a word, in addition to eating the marrow and knowing the taste, must add the four words of liking the new and hating the old.

The left hand touches the right hand, touching too much, where is there any freshness or excitement, it's just to hand over the grain!

Li Cuixuan waited at Li Zhongyi's table, grinding ink for a while, serving tea and water for a while, even if it was not deliberate, she more or less knew that the content of the letter written by Li Zhongyi was really not enough for outsiders.

Li Zhongyi did such things that needed to be kept secret, and she didn't avoid Li Cuixuan, so she couldn't help but think about it a few more times.

Li Cuixuan didn't say anything, but she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, Li Zhongyi was sure that she, the canary in the cage, couldn't escape from his palm!

Just when Li Cuixuan was a little distracted, Li Zhongyi suddenly spoke, "I just moved in, it's quite messy everywhere, you stay and tidy up, I'm also tired." ”

"Yes." Li Cuixuan squatted down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Ye Xiaolan, who had been guarding the door of the study, followed closely behind Li Zhongyi with small steps, and walked towards the west wing.

Tonight, Li Zhongyi is obviously a chic and beautiful person, but Li Cuixuan can only stay in the study and help him sort out his private documents.

This person is afraid of comparison, although the poor and lowly husband and wife mourn everything, if compared with the beggar who eats and sleeps in the open, but he is happy to the sky.

Li Cuixuan knew that Li Zhongyi, a bad species, was using methods again, but she was still a little uneasy, the only favor that originally belonged to her, but she taught Ye Xiaolan's cheap maid to divide it, and for a while she froze in front of the window of the study.
