"Now that I am in charge of Tang, I am in the political hall of the Daming Palace, and I am not as free and happy as I am in Xingyuan Mansion. {Sui}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā} is not it, just because the Holy Lord adopted Yang Yan's proposal to implement the two tax laws, the financial power and military power were divided into three layers: the imperial court, the town of Fang, and the prefecture and county. Zhujun look at Dou Shen, although he is a Chinese scholar, but when it comes to military affairs, transportation, and taxation, how can he have the slightest power to dictate himself? He had to mediate between the Holy Lord, Zhongguan, Fang Zhen, and Southern Province to be able to stretch his way back a little, if he wanted to really be a real power ruler like Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, what should he do? You can only plant party members in the court, but in this way, you will have to look sideways with your political enemies, and you will be tired of seeing the Holy Lord for a long time, as if you are in a dangerous and dangerous place without knowing it. I am not, the Holy Lord may not really understand me in the previous matter, but he is forced by the situation, and he can't do without me, and it is not because I have troops and money in Xingyuan and Fengxiang. Loyal ministers and husbands, strong soldiers and strong horses are ears. The way of the world now is not that the lord chooses loyal ministers, but that loyal ministers and the lord of the people. ”

"Are you, Qihou?" Wang Tong and Zhao Guangxian were still puzzled.

Could it be that after Gao Yue mastered the military power and financial power, he paved the way to the door of Zhongshu?

Gao Yue smiled, and did not deny their thoughts, "Relying on the sky and the sea are innumerable, and the mountains and rivers know themselves. The exhortation of the monarchs, Yue Ming felt five things, and waited for the opportunity. ”

In fact, Gao Yue knows very well in his heart that the center of the Tang Dynasty is no longer the center of the Gaozong and Xuanzong dynasties, since the dualistic pattern of central and local power has been formed, it is difficult to change the world - the only way is for the power of a certain place to expand to a considerable extent, and then become the center of the master, and then the ideal can be implemented to the whole country.

It's just like Han Rong, it's just that Han Jingong's ambition died unexpectedly, and his last wish will be fulfilled by me Gao Yue in the future.

After the meeting in the middle hall of the government office, Gao Yue found Wei Ping alone:

"Chengwu's side, it's all already coordinated?"

Wei Ping bowed his head and said Qi Hou, your plan, Wei Gao fully accepted it.

Under the candlelight, Gao Yue's shadow stretched long on the wall, and he promised Wei Ping in a low voice: "If the servant's strategy of killing three birds with one stone (Xifan, Dangxiang, and Nanzhao) this time is successful, Chengwu's help will not be forgotten!" ”

"Why did Qi Hou come up with other people's words?" Wei Ping was a little surprised, thinking to himself what else do you and I have to share with each other.

"In the future, Yue Rubai Ma will proclaim, and the city will worship the Zhongshu order."

"Is my brother a person who values the official title of Zhongshu Ling?"

"Then with the Zhongshu Order, the capital of the three rivers (Dongchuan, Xichuan, Shannan Xidao) festival envoys, what is it?" As soon as these words came out, Wei Ping's expression was stunned at first, and then he nodded heavily.

Gao Yue is very satisfied - dealing with someone like Wei Gao is to be happy and worry-free, and to know how to advance and retreat.

At a very fast speed, the secret envoy of Xingyuan Mansion came to the city of Shudu.

Jinguan City has just fallen from a shower of rain, and the flowers everywhere in the city are full of water, red red, purple more purple, bluer blue, and more graceful. In the high-rise building at the head of the city, Wei Gao was feasting with the guests, and after opening Gao Yue's secret letter, he was overjoyed, so he personally walked out of the building and came to the terrace on the edge of the city wall.

"Marquis Gao Qi has re-dispatched troops from the Xingyuan Mansion, and has been ordered to continue the crusade against the rebellious remnant party!" When Wei Gao said this, the whole banquet aroused a sound of praise.

Before Wei Gao finished speaking, suddenly a woman's exclamation sounded in the banquet of the building: I saw the camp prostitutes dressed in splendid clothes, throwing down all kinds of musical instruments, hiding behind the screen or a few times, and the "music general" (old bustard) who took the lead Although he saw the world a lot, he also stood in place, frightened and his face was like earth.

Wei Gao and everyone looked at it, it turned out that it was a neon that frightened the camp prostitutes, it was very strange, it went down directly from the sky, through the window of the brocade official building, red and blue mist, the five colors of the void, the neon head was like a donkey, "lying" on the feast, as if drinking and eating, after a while, it slowly dissipated.

This vision made Wei Gao feel bad, so he announced a boycott of the banquet.

At this time, the former Henan Shaoyin, who is now a guest in Xishu, stood up and asked Wei Gao: "Why is Lian Shuai so worried?" ”

Wei Gao frowned and pointed to the place where the neon disappeared, "I heard in the book that the neon was transformed by demonic energy, and now it is in the feast, I am afraid it is not a good omen." ”

Dou Lu laughed: "Neon is by no means demonic, but angelized, but if it descends to evil, it is evil, and it is auspicious to descend to righteousness. ”

Wei Gao's heart was furious when he said this, and everyone present also celebrated in unison, saying, "Qihou has made a comeback, and you are sitting in the southwest again, and there will be a great victory this year!" ”

Not long ago, in the military mansion of Shudu City, Wei Gao waited for Gao Yue's new news.

Gao Yue's plan was: Now Xifan took advantage of our conquest of the party, once again betrayed his promise, began to besiege Shazhou in our Tang Dynasty to the west, and prepared to completely destroy the Anxi court in the future. It is no longer possible to directly reinforce the four towns of Shazhou, Anxi and Beiting, and for the sake of today, on the one hand, we must rely on the Tang army and the people in these areas to persist in the struggle, and on the other hand, Gao and Wei (we) have to join forces again, and also take advantage of the main force of Xifan to go to the Western Regions, carry out a huge and effective attack in the Jiannan and Longyou areas, destroy part of the military strength and territory of Xifan, make it impossible to take care of the end of the head, and suffer great losses in force, completely crush their ambition to seek the Western Regions, and also also completely eliminate the party items for our Tang Dynasty without worries. In addition, you can also rely on this victory to make Nanzhao surrender.

For Gao Yue and Wei Gao, this may be the greatest strategic move in their lives.

That is to say, the different political forces of Tang, Xifan, Dangxiang, and Nanzhao, as well as the spaces of Chang'an, the Western Regions, the Snow Plain, the Erhai Lake, and the Tiannan Sea and the North of the Tongwan City, have been involved in the whole body, and all of them have been drawn into the chessboard, and the real game between the national fortunes is coming.

It's just that no one knows when the final winner of this game of chess, which is filled with countless flesh and blood, will be decided, five years, ten years, or longer?

When the game comes to an end, will a new player join in and start a new big game?

"Victoria, Qinzhou, or Shanzhou?" This is the question that Wei Gao thinks about first, that is, where will Gao Yue and his army hammer be smashed.

Gao Yue's young Marquis Yu Li Xian, the son of Li Sheng, a handsome knight, rode a navy blue horse, the wind also passed through the Sword Pavilion, passed through the deer head tree, and finally paid homage to the military palace of Shu Capital City, he brought Gao Yue's final mature thoughts.

"Shanzhou." Li Xianqing said clearly.

"Shanzhou." Wei Gao repeated, his tone becoming very heavy and resolute.

That's right, the intersection of the forces of Nanzhao, Tang, and Xifan, Shanzhou.

At this time, the drastic changes that occurred in the eastern barbarians of Lizhou, the gateway, also gave Wei Gao excellent conditions for sending troops.
