"King, the news of rushing back from the Central Plains last night, Dewey really led the army from Wuqiang to the west to Hengzhou." Li Xiang pointed to the map of Hebei Prefecture and said.
Ma Yun's intelligence agency is divided into two parts, one is the wind catching room under the Criminal Department, and the other is under the control of Peng Shuang, which uses the method of opening tea shops in various places to search for intelligence (Chu tea has always been an important export product). After Ma Yun became the king of Chu, in order to appease Peng Shigao, he officially married Peng Shigao's sister Peng Shuang. For some reason, Ma Yun attributed this part of the intelligence agency managed by Peng Shuang to the Privy Council and belonged to the management of the General Staff Department (Li Xiang was in charge of the General Staff Department).
"There are Khitan soldiers and horses on the east and west and north sides, if the Khitan cuts off the grain route of the Jin soldiers, hey, this Jin soldiers may be a big defeat." Ma Yun looked at Zhao Pu, Li Xiang, Fan Zhen, Xu Zhongya and others standing beside him, and sighed.
Li Xiang shook his head and said, "King, it's not a big defeat. It's a war that will destroy the country. Dewey led a large army into Hengzhou, if in case the Khitan soldiers passed through the Taihang Mountain and captured Luancheng. cut off the only grain route in Hengzhou. As long as the Khitan is surrounded and not fought, in less than a month, the Jin soldiers are afraid that they will be in chaos without a fight. As soon as Dewey was defeated, there were no more elite soldiers in the Hebei states to resist the Khitan. The Khitan is going south, how can the Great Jin not die? ”
Ma Yun read softly: "The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road." Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer"
Ma Yun has those goods in his stomach, Li Xiang knows it clearly, and suddenly hearing Ma Yun's thoughts, Li Xiang was a little surprised. This thing that seems to be a poem is not a poem, and it seems to be a word and a word, although the format is not very neat, but it is incisive and catchy to read, especially the last sentence, which is even more thought-provoking. Li Xiang is familiar with hundreds of books, and he doesn't have to be much worse than Zhao Pu, who only reads the Analects, Ma Yun can read this thing, he has never seen it, and he has never heard anyone read it. Could it be that the king did it himself? Li Xiang glanced at Ma Yun intriguingly and said, "It's good, it's prosperous, the people are bitter." Death, the people suffer. KING, this ... If it spreads, I'm afraid it will create a new stylistic format. ”
"Ahh Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, he was moved just now, and when he heard Li Xiang say this, he realized that he had taken out the Yuan song and read it. Ma Yun, who has long had no desire to be a literary youth, smiled indifferently and said: "I lost my mind a little just now, which made Mr. smile." ”
"The king, as a courtier, is not afraid of natural disasters**, is not afraid of foreign invasion, is afraid of the monarch's loyalty and treachery, arrogant and lascivious. If the king can keep in mind that 'prosperity, the people will suffer; Death, the people suffer', this sentence, my Dachu will definitely be able to sweep ** and unify China. Li Xiang said categorically.
Ma Yun laughed: "Sir, let's take a look at the situation in the Jin Kingdom." Now that the Jin Kingdom is about to fall, what should we do next? Ma Yun only knew that Liu Zhiyuan established the Later Han Dynasty, but as for how and when it was established, he didn't know at all. As for whether the Khitan destroyed the Jin Dynasty like it is now, he doesn't know.
"Wait!" Li Xiang said.
"The king, the situation is unclear now, and when the situation is clear, we will take measures to welcome you. If the Great Jin does not die, it is best for us to stand still. After all, in June last year, Shi Chonggui just canonized you as the king of Chu. As a vassal country, the Jin Kingdom will not perish, and we soldiers cannot be justified in name. Secondly, we attacked the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom did not perish, with our strength, we want to swallow the Jin Kingdom, but we can't do it now, so that we have set up a strong enemy in our own north in vain, then... We are in an even more difficult situation. However, the demise of the Jin Kingdom is inevitable, we just need to wait until the Khitan destroys the Jin. Li Xiang analyzed.
Ma Yun looked at the topographic map of the Central Plains, pondered for a long time, and suddenly, he said: "Sir, what do you think Li Tang will do?" ”
Li Xiang smiled and said: "**Now trapped in Fujian, I'm afraid I don't have much interest in the Northern Expedition." Fujian has been in civil strife for nearly ten years, whether it is Wang Yanzheng, the former king of Fujian Wang Yanyi, or the current Fuzhou guard Li Renda, they basically have little control over Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in southern Fujian. In other words, a separatist force has been formed in these two places. **After nearly two years of siege, Wang Yanzheng has run out of ammunition and food, and the day when Jianzhou will break the city is not far away. After the establishment of the state, Chen Jue and Cha Wenhui merged together, whether it was Zhangzhou or Quanzhou, they were powerless to resist, and they were likely to surrender**. However, Wu Yue has already sent troops to Fuzhou to help Li Renda, the defender of Fuzhou, and with Wu Yue's soldiers, this Fuzhou ** may not be able to take it. If ** once we encounter failure in Fuzhou, our meticulous work, and then Zhangzhou and Quanzhou activities, this Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Li Tang also don't think about it. ”
Ma Yun raised his eyebrows, was overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing: "In this way, this Li Jingbai has been busy for a long time, except for Jianzhou and Tingzhou, which are already in dilapidation, he actually has nothing to catch." Hahahaha. ”
Saying that, Ma Yun said unsatisfactorily: "It would be nice to say that Li Jing would also send troops to the Central Plains, hehe, according to Li Jing's piece of cake, it can only be a waste of military rations." ”
Li Xiang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "In Fujian, Li Tang has spent too much energy. At this time, sending troops to the Central Plains is a situation of fighting on two fronts, and Li Tang may not be able to support it. So, it's hard for them to send troops. ”
Fan Zhen and Xu Zhongya didn't say anything, but Zhao Pu said: "From a military point of view alone, Master Li is right. However, if you say it from the heart of Li Tang's rulers, there may not be no way to persuade Li Tang to send troops. ”
Since Ma Yun just became the king, Li Xiang, Zhao Pu and others put forward the idea of "mobilizing and weakening elite troops and consuming Li Tang's national strength", and then the high-level officials of Chu with Ma Yun as the continuous supplement and improvement have become a crystallization of collective wisdom, and together with counterfeit money, it has become the basic national policy of Chu for Li Tang.
It was under the guidance of this kind of thinking that the state of Chu sent a group of meticulous workers to spread rumors in Wuyue, instigating the king of Wuyue to send troops to Fuzhou, and in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, to encourage the independent thinking of local forces, and even within the scope of their ability, to provide convenience for them. He also secretly negotiated with Li Tang to jointly attack the Han State. Just want to squander Li Jing's father Li Yu's eight million two properties, and consume Li Tang's only elite soldiers.
This is to hear Zhao Pu say that there is a way to move Li Tang to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and the people in the hall are listening attentively, especially Li Xiang, whose demeanor is even more careful.
Zhao Pu said slowly: "Your Excellency, you must also know that this Li Tang is divided into two factions, Feng Yansi and Zhou Zong, Feng Yansi's faction has a high status in Li Jing's heart, and the power in his hands is also great, and they are also ambitious and vainly trying to unify. This kind of person has a fatal shortcoming, one is that he can't look down on the good of others, and the other is that he desperately wants to take advantage. Remember, my lord, when we went to Jinling the year before last, this group of people couldn't eat grapes, but said that the grapes were sour, and they said that it was wrong for us to take Nanping. Hehe, if our army goes on a northern expedition and has a smooth journey, it will easily take Xiangzhou, Suizhou and other places, the king, my lords, what do you think Li Jing and Feng Yansi will react to? ”
Ma Yun stroked his palms and smiled: "Li Jing, if they heard the news, they must have thought that this Jin soldier or Khitan soldier was not terrible, maybe they would rush to the Northern Expedition, if that was the case, they would definitely be defeated." Wonderful... What a clever idea. In this way, I have to trouble Brother Zhao to go to Jinling in person to meet Li Jing. Give him a good description of the prospects of the Northern Expedition. After we sent troops to attack the city, Li Jing and the others would definitely not be able to bear it. ”
The crowd laughed.
----
In the first month of the fourth year of luck, Jinling occasionally snowed, and the whole city was covered in silver, which was extraordinarily enchanting.
On the Hanyuan Palace, Li Jing looked at the white and vast world outside the hall gloomily, and his heart was full of helplessness. What a good environment for writing poetry, wearing a mink coat, stepping on the soft white snow, with the pace of progress, not only on the white ground, leaving a series of shallow footprints, but also the sound of "crunching" footsteps. Treading the snow to find plums, cooking wine and burning meat, what a pleasure this is. As soon as the little wind blew like this, the little snot was so first-class, and the body shook, and the head immediately sobered up, and this inspiration gushed out. Just like Wang Xizhi, only when I am drunk can I write a masterpiece like Lan Tingxu, I can only feel the suffering of the world in this frozen beauty, and my most proud words are frozen out in the wind and snow.
This Zhao Pu, it's not good when he comes, but he wants to come at this time. And Zhou Zong is also right, just let Zhao Pu wait for two days. I've been looking forward to this snowy day for a year.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Pu, the envoy of the State of Chu, is waiting outside the palace gate." Huang Hao lowered his eyebrows and whispered softly, he knew the emperor's intentions, and knew that at this time, the emperor was like a tiger all the time, and he couldn't afford to provoke him.
"Hey", Li Jingmu sighed and said, "Let him come in." ”
"Zhao Pu, the envoy of Great Chu, knock to see the King of Tang." Zhao Pu came to the Hanyuan Hall and gave a salute.
Zhao Pu gave a salute, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Li Jing's sentence of "free courtesy". The hall was quiet, and the surrounding ministers peeked at Li Jing, this guy looked impatient.
Zhao Pu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he got up from the ground without being humble or arrogant. As an intelligence leader in the Chu State, a very professional psychological counselor, Zhao Pu knows everything about the fancy intestines in Li Jing's stomach.
After he got up, he said loudly: "On the order of my king, I will send two episodes of Wenzhao Wang Wenxuan to the king of Tang." As he spoke, he took out a flat wooden box three inches square from his bosom and handed it over.
