Knowing Li Tang's bottom line, Zhao Pu was quite happy to run to the council hall. In fact, Ma Yun, the king of Chu, has not done nothing for half a month, and has been on his honeymoon wholeheartedly. If he really wanted to do this, if other people didn't say it, it was estimated that Tuoba Heng, the imperial historian of the Imperial Procuratorate, would have jumped out to admonish him.

In the past half a month, Ma Yun has been busy publishing books, and the oil near Nanyang has given him one more way of thinking for foreign warfare - fire attack. But this oil is liquid, and it smells a little weird, and no one understands how to extract it and how to transport it safely. There was no way, so Ma Yun summarized his memories and wrote some physics and chemistry knowledge when he was in high school and college in the past, and wrote it into a common-sense popular science literature. These pamphlets of less than 2o pages kept Ma Yun busy in the dark. Then the booklet was handed down to the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Industry, and they were ordered to work according to the instructions on the booklet. In addition, he also ordered Ding Sijin to transfer two stone machines on the spot, so that the personnel of the Ministry of Industry could test the effect of oil shooting on the spot.

Ma Yun has such a meaningful thing to do, where can he care about grinding with Feng Yanlu. Besides, Feng Yanlu and Wei Cen are not fools, are there fools who write about flowers? If Feng Yanlu came to Changsha and Ma Yun negotiated with him, wouldn't that show that Chu needed this military ration very much? Then Feng Yanlu can't open his mouth widely. Therefore, Ma Yun made a decision, using marriage as an excuse, and asked Zhao Pu to accompany Feng Yanlu to wander around Changsha City, etiquette must be in place, and hospitality must be thoughtful, so that Feng Yanlu can't find fault, but he just doesn't meet him. Feng Yanlu is a scholar, and he is also a polite reader, such a person has a problem, that is, he always likes to put himself in the shoes of others to think about it, he just wants to soar and has an excuse to soar. Now, eating, drinking, and having fun, he doesn't want to get angry, but the days go by, and when the time comes, he can't hold it back, so he can only lower his requirements.

So, Feng Yanlu really fell for the tricks of the Chu State, and he was so anxious that he wanted to jump over the wall and enter the palace of the King of Chu to find Ma Yun. His demand was naturally to drop again and again, to the acceptable range of the Chu State.

After Zhao Pu brought Li Tang's request back, Ma Yun immediately summoned Wang Yun, Li Xiang, Liu Yantao, Xu Zhongya, Fan Zhen and others to discuss the plan for the southern expedition.

Wang Yun said: "Great King, since the Qin set up Xiang County, Guilin County, to the Tang Dynasty to set up the Guangnan West Road, although the west of the Yujiang River has always been under the jurisdiction of China, but the place here is remote, plus the mountains are continuous, the hills are intricate, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the population is sparse. The official road was in disrepair, narrow and long, and unsuitable for the march of large armies. Moreover, there are more than 30 states in the south of the Yujiang River (Guangnan West Province) with a multi-basin landform and a concentration of ethnic minorities, so there are more states. However, the territory of each state is relatively small. Guangnan West Road 3o multi-state place and 1o multi-state Guangnan East Road or Weisheng Jiedu envoy jurisdiction is about the same,) place, belongs to the Jianwu Jiedu envoy and Ningyuan Jiedu envoy, of which the Jianwu Jiedu envoy is Yongzhou, and the Ningyuan Jiedu envoy was originally Rongzhou, and after being captured by our army last year, it has been moved to Fengzhou. Jianwu Jiedu envoy is Chen Shouzhong's cowardice and has a limit, and Ningyuan Jiedu makes Pan Chongche quite talented, therefore, the minister thinks that our army might as well concentrate its forces first, break Fengzhou, and then send a partial division, Yaowu and Yongzhou, with Chen Shouzhong's mediocre performance, it is necessary to surrender. ”

Everyone else was pondering Wang Yun's words, and Liu Yantao, the privy deputy envoy, said with a smile: "King, this Fengzhou city, the minister followed General Xu to fight back then, the city wall is tall, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, I'm afraid it's not big." I think we might as well surround but not fight, let Li Tang's men and horses go to Shaozhou and other places, lesp, we will defeat Fengzhou, and the Han State will be red-eyed and send troops to fight to the death with us, won't it be cheap for Li Tang in vain? ”

Ma Yun nodded and said, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

Li Xiang came out and asked: "The king, do you think the king just wants to take the western road of Guangnan?" Or do you want to take the whole of Quang Nam Province? ”

Everyone's eyes brushed, and they all looked at Ma Yun, Xu Zhongya was the first to jump out and said, "Lord Li is bad." China and Datang have already had an agreement to divide Quangnam Province equally. Li Tang's elite is tens of thousands, and the treasury is sufficient, but it is by no means comparable to Lingnan, and although I have been in the country for a long time, I don't have much savings, and now is not the time to turn my face with Li Tang, it is better to delay it for a year or two, and when our treasury is sufficient, it is not too late to confront Li Tang. ”

Li Xiang said: "King, Xu Xiang, Fan Xiang, my lords. Everyone knows that Li Tang was a strong country at that time, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the minister thought that Li Tang's population was only more than 5o households, calculated by eight people per household, but more than 4oo people, Li Tang has always been mainly raising the people, so the soldiers and horses are up to 2o thousand, of which the elite division is at most 1 o, previously, Li Tang invaded Fujian, dispatched an army of 100,000, of which more than 20,000 were killed in battle and disease, and then, Li Tang was defeated by Wu Yue in Fuzhou, and seven or eight thousand people were killed in the war, so to speak, the battle of Fujian, 30,000 people were killed, and there are at least 20,000 elite soldiers and horses. This year, Li Tang sent 80,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, basically the whole army was wiped out, and the elite soldiers and horses lost at least 40,000 people. The battle of Lingnan can at least consume 10,000 of his elite soldiers, so Li Tang's elite is only 30,000. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, or they are newly recruited, or they lack training, no matter how many of these soldiers and horses, what is the threat? The minister thought that as long as the strategy was used properly, it was not impossible to take Lingnan completely. ”

Xu Zhongya asked: "But if Li Tang uses our violation of the agreement as an excuse to send troops to invade our country, how can I deal with it?" There's not much food and grass. If we continue to fight for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it out first. ”

Liu Yantao said on the side: "Xu Xiang, Master Li made it very clear just now. They Li Tang don't have so many elite troops, even if he comes to attack our Chu State, he is not our opponent. You can rest assured about that. ”

Fan Zhen said: "Lord Li's words are all calculations, what if... ”

Ma Yun said with a smile: "Fan Aiqing, the widow still trusts my army very much. However, our treasury is empty, this is also a fact, in case we have to do it, we should not clash with Li Tang head-on, and after our chess move is played, it is not too late to turn against Li Tang. ”

Zhao Pu said on the side: "King, if we want to play that move smoothly, then Lingnan must not let Li Tang give it, this Guangnan West Road, that is really poor, but Guangnan East Road, especially Xingwangfu, but Lingnan's Suzhou and Hangzhou, since the founding of the country, the Liu family has been trading with all parts of Nanyang, and the annual trade income is a lot." It is said that some of these merchant ships also went directly to Persia and other places, and the profits could be multiplied several times once they came and went. And what Li Tang lacks the most is access to the sea. Although Li Tang's territory is large, only Haizhou (now Lianyungang), Taizhou and other places go to sea, but these are all in the north, separated by Wu and Yue, and there are not many merchant ships in the south. However, if Li Tang occupies Lingnan, firstly, they can turn the wealth of the Liu clan into their own use, and secondly, they inherit the trade routes of the Liu clan, then the national strength will rise, and maybe they will have passed the period of economic difficulties, which will be very unfavorable to us. The minister thought that Lingnan could not fall into the hands of Li Tang. ”

This Lingnan was called Guangnan Road in the Tang Dynasty, and it was divided into Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road (that is, the origin of today's Guangdong and Guangxi), which could not be occupied by Li Tang, and it was not easy to tear his face and grab Li Tang. What can I do?

Wang Yun, Li Xiang, and Zhao Pu frowned and thought of a way, Liu Yantao looked left and right, and said in his heart: Even if you want to be **, you also want to set up a memorial arch, how can there be such a good thing. However, these people here are all smart people, and there are so many ghost ideas, and he doesn't dare to express his opinions casually now, so as not to laugh and be generous.

Ma Yun thought for a while and said: "Well, if you don't let this go, let's talk about how to capture Guangnan West Road first." What Wang Aiqing and Liu Aiqing said just now makes sense. However, this is based on the assumption that our family will attack Lingnan, but now it is different, we are jointly sending troops with Li Tang, and we have to let Li Tang's army behave no matter how you say it. Therefore, the widow thinks that we are not concentrating our forces on the Jianwu Jiedu Envoy, and we will not move the troops to the Ningyuan Jiedu Envoy. And if Li Tang wants to attack Lingnan, he must first attack Shaozhou, and then directly attack Xingwangfu. His offensive line is obviously to destroy the Liu clan, and we want to capture the Jianwu Jiedu envoy at most, so will the Liu clan transfer the army to the Shaozhou area to fight Li Tang, and we may not have time to take care of it or ignore it? ”

Li Xiang nodded and said: "The king's idea is right, but there is one point, Ning Yuan Jie Du envoy Pan Chongche is by no means an idle person, he may not be able to see our intentions, if he reinforces the forces of Ning Yuan Jie Du Envoy, deploys in the area of Fengzhou and Yizhou, and completely abandons the Jianwu Jie Du Envoy, then it will be difficult for our army to capture Xingwangfu and other places in the future." ”

Zhao Pu smiled: "The minister has an idea, using a divisive strategy." If Pan Chongche once reined in the strength of Ningyuan's envoys, we immediately sent people to walk the rumors in Xingwangfu, but at the same time, our army surrounded Yongzhou but did not fight, so that Yongzhou's letters for help must fly every day to report that Xingwangfu went, and Liu's favorite minister Lin Yanyu and Pan Chongche have a gap, he is likely to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Pan Chongche for us. And after we have established the Jianwu Festival, if the troops do not move, then Li Tang and the Liu clan will inevitably fight, and let the Liu clan exhaust Li Tang's last elite soldiers. ”

Ma Yun stroked his palms and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful." ”

Li Xiang said on the side: "Lord Zhao's discordant plan reminded Weichen. Weichen thought of a way to deal with Li Tang. ”

Ma Yunleng paused for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Li Aiqing, do you have any way?" ”

"Li Tang finally won the Xingwang Mansion, that is inevitable. Li Tang is now in financial embarrassment, and after they take the Xingwang Mansion, I am afraid that not only will they not reduce taxes to appease the people, but it is very likely that they will increase the taxes in Lingnan to reward the army, and the people will be full of complaints at that time. At that time, we sent people to disguise themselves as Lingnan Rebels and make trouble with Li Tang in Guangnan Dongdao. If Li Tang was defeated by the rebels, or fell into this quagmire, he would have to withdraw. When we go down with the trend, won't it be Lingnan taken from Li Tang? Li Tang and they had nothing to say. ”

Ma Yun thought for a while and said: "Okay, just do what Li Aiqing said, no matter if he is at that time, whether Li Tang will increase or reduce taxes, we will still send the righteous army over to make trouble for them." Hehe... ”
