For Liu Yong's orders, Chen An naturally wanted to do it, and on the same day, he found several departments to discuss and see how he could plot against these Tatar vassal states.

Wu Qing said: "Your Excellency, I think it is not impossible to rebel, but force is the best solution. ”

Zhao Liang, director of the Strategy Department of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Excellency, I don't think so, although force is a good way to directly solve the problem, but don't forget, those Tatar slave vassal states are all in the west of Tianling Mountain, not to mention the long distance, Tianling Mountain is towering into the clouds, and it is even more insurmountable than this Qin Mountain." Moreover, there is no official way to go to the western countries, so it is really not suitable to use troops. The best thing to do is to rebel. ”

Chen An nodded after hearing this and said, "Well, what Zhao Liang said is extremely true, these western countries are indeed high mountains and rivers, and it is not suitable to use troops. It seems that rebellion is the only way we can do it. ”

Wu Qing said: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid it's not easy to rebel." Most of these Tatar vassal states obeyed the Tatar slaves. And they all had Tatar garrisons in their lands. I also heard that the Tatars also sent ambassadors to control the government of those countries. In this way, even if you want to rebel, there is no purpose! ”

Chen An said: "I got the spies' reward yesterday, and there are three countries that don't seem to be very satisfied with the Tatar slaves, and they have a grudge. Is a country like this a target that we can turn against us? ”

Wu Qing said: "Your Excellency, a country like this is basically dead, unless we can have an overwhelming advantage over the Tatar slaves in the west. Otherwise, the three countries that the prime minister said probably would not have fallen to our side. ”

After listening to Wu Qing's words, Chen An also nodded silently, he felt that Wu Qing's worries were not unreasonable. The main link in this is that these countries are firmly controlled by the Tatar slaves, and they have no autonomy at all. It may have been better before, but now that ambassadors are stationed, I am afraid that the autonomy of these countries has been completely lost.

In Chen An's eyes, these countries are sad, but their weakness is inherently destined to be enslaved by others. Being a puppet regime, it's not a good time.

Chen An thought that in fact, the best way was to use the bargaining chip to ensure their self-control. Slaves don't want to sit down forever. But Liu Yong didn't send him such words. Moreover, he also knew that Liu Yong would not say such a thing. If you don't look at anything else, just look at Liyue Kingdom and Xifan. Liu Yong would never allow others to build a country under his nose. This is also one of Liu Yong's ambitions.

Chen An knew that His Majesty the Emperor was an ambitious emperor. Therefore, this article can be canceled.

"And what can you do?" Chen An asked. There are also several important ministers of the Ministry of War.

The ministers looked at each other and didn't have any ideas.

Chen An looked at it, and then asked Wu Qing and said, "Wu Qing, what good ideas do you have?" ”

Wu Qing said: "In my opinion, force is the best idea. However, the reality is that the mountain is far away, and there are no supplies on the way, so you may have to face harassment from the Tatar army deployed in the west. It is indeed not suitable to use soldiers! ”

Chen An asked, "You have no other way than to use soldiers?" ”

Wu Qing said: "Your Excellency, the minister fought on the battlefield, and if you want to talk about strategies outside the battlefield, the minister can only sigh with admiration." ”

Chen An knew that although the strategies used on the battlefield and the strategies used in politics had something in common, they were generally different. On the battlefield, in order to kill the enemy, they will use the tactics of deception, encirclement, and sneak attack. Politically, it seems to be much more complicated, sometimes you have to integrate resources, distinguish between friend and foe, what kind of temptation, what temptation, all these can appear in the political struggle.

Thinking of this, Chen An asked Zhao Liang and said, "Zhao Liang, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Liang said: "Back to the Prime Minister, the minister thinks that if you want to rebel, you must have an in-depth understanding of these countries, and then you can watch people put on the dishes." Whatever the situation, we will use what kind of countermeasures. ”

Chen An nodded and said, "Well, Zhao Liang, you're right!" It is very important to know the situation of the Tatar vassals. But can't our spies know clearly? ”

Zhao Liang said: "Your Excellency, the spies can only find out the intelligence of those Tatar vassal states, that is, some important things. It is impossible to say how much is known about this country, especially within the regime of this country. ”

Wu Qing interjected and said, "Yes, what Lord Zhao said is right. If you want to know the regimes of those countries thoroughly, you can't rely on spies alone. ”

Chen An nodded, pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what else can we do?" You know, the Tatars will never allow our people to enter their vassal kingdoms in a blatant manner. ”

Zhao Liang said: "Your Excellency, the difficulty is here. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Wu Qing also said.

Several others nodded in agreement.

Do you still need to agree with this? It's clearly a lice on the monk's head, is it obvious!

Chen An fell silent. For a moment, the hall was silent. In fact, Chen An knows that the smartest person in the world is by his side. But he couldn't beg. Because he is the emperor. The emperor asked you, the prime minister, to study this matter, and you went back to ask the emperor, what else do you want you to do as a prime minister?

It's a question of face.

Chen An is not the kind of person who wants to save face and suffer crimes, but since he became prime minister, he has not played a decisive role in a major incident.

And this time, he must complete this task independently. Of course, for such a big matter, the final decision is still in Liu Yong's hands. But as long as his plan is passed by Liu Yong, this is his own success.

Chen An made up his mind and vowed to complete the matter.

"Wu Qing, Zhao Liang, in my opinion, if you want to have an in-depth understanding of the regime of some countries, you still have to rely on our spies!" Chen An said.

Wu Qing and Zhao Liang glanced at each other, and then looked at Chen An.

Chen An said: "There seems to be no other good way besides this!" ”

Zhao Liang said: "Your Excellency, if you want to know the situation of the regimes in these countries, you have to make inquiries from many sources. It's easy to be exposed. ”

Chen An nodded and said, "Well, you're right, but have you ever heard of this?" ”

Wu Qing asked, "What words?" ”

Chen An said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts." I think that with the right people, I can accomplish such a task. ”

After listening to Chen An's words, Wu Qing and Zhao Liang glanced at each other again. The return of the financial empire
