Dao An led his four apprentices and fled to the southwest.

They have caused such a big disaster, how can they run so easily, and no one will chase them?

Because the communication equipment was very underdeveloped at that time, the order to arrest them had not yet come here.

At that time, if the government wanted to arrest a certain person, it had to first have someone draw an image of a certain person, and then distribute it to all parts of the country as soon as possible, and after distributing it to all parts of the country, the local magistrate would have the person draw the portrait of that person into multiple points, and then distribute the multiple copies of the image to the person concerned, and then arrest that person. Unlike now, as long as the computer "da" and "da" fax, the other side will know your appearance and surname, and the police will stop you immediately.

After Dao An and a few others ran away for two days, they were about to leave the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

The so-called "boundaries under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty" are the boundaries under the jurisdiction of Emperor Li Cunxuan. At that time, they called themselves the "Great Tang Dynasty".

At this time, Qian 1, Qian 2, Qian 3, and Qian 4 asked their master Dao'an: "Master, you said that our father and grandmother are waiting for us in front, we have been gone for two days, why haven't we seen them yet?" ”

Daoan said, "I don't know. Maybe they're still ahead of us? ”

Qian 1, Qian 2, Qian 3, and Qian 4 said, "What? Are they still ahead of us? Is it possible? We are about to leave the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty and arrive at the boundary under the jurisdiction of Shu, can they go to Shu alone? ”

Daoan said: "There is also that possibility. ”

******

At this time, Dao An was talking to his apprentices, and they saw a few people on the opposite road. There are eight or nine. All on horseback. Dao An recognized it at a glance, and the leader was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty - Guo Chongtao!

At this time, Daoan Coke went bad.

Dao Anxin said: If I can catch Guo Chongtao today, it will be great!

Why did Dao An say that?

Because Guo Chongtao is a great person. This Guo Chongtao is the number two person in the Tang Dynasty. It can also be said that in addition to the emperor Li Cunqiao in the Tang Dynasty, he is big. He is one of the four heroes under the first king of the Tang Dynasty and is now the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

"The first king of the Tang Dynasty" is the father of the emperor Li Cunxuan.

Why is Daoan so happy?

Because Dao An saw that this Guo Chongtao didn't bring many people today, there were only seven or eight people around him, and Dao An also knew that this Guo Chongtao was not so outstanding in literary talent, but he was ordinary in martial arts. It can also be said that he does not know martial arts. He doesn't know martial arts, wouldn't it be easier to catch him?

Dao An still doesn't know, now this Guo Chongtao still has the "Seven Kings Contract" that leads to the future fate of the Tang Dynasty.

What is the "Seven Kings Contract"?

The "Seven Kings Contract" is a contract document signed by the seven princes to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

What kind of paperwork?

It is a document of their friendly exchanges with the Tang Dynasty in the future and non-aggression.

You said that if such a document falls into Dao'an, the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, it will be worth it!

Dao Anxin said: It should be unlucky for the Tang Dynasty!

Dao An led his four apprentices and rushed up.

Dao An sneered: "Guo Chongtao, you can't run!" ”

******

Guo Chongtao saw that Dao An blocked his way, and Guo Chongtao was frightened at that time.

Guo Chongtao knows that Dao'an is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty!

Moreover, there are not many people around Chongtao now!

Moreover, Guo Chongtao does not know martial arts.

Guo Chongtao said in his heart, what can I do?

At this time, what made Guo Chongtao most anxious was that he still had something very important to the Tang Dynasty, the "Seven Kings Contract"!

Guo Chongtao knew that if the "Seven Kings Contract" was lost, there might be a war!

If you lose the "Seven Kings Contract", maybe there will be a war?

Is that possible?

It's entirely possible. "Seven Kings Contract" is the signature signed by the seven princes of the family! You use the signatures of the seven princes as butt wiping paper, and they don't lead troops to beat you!

Is it that serious?

How is it not so serious! Who is the person who wants to grab the "Seven Kings Contract" now? It is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty! In order to let the Tang Dynasty fight with others, he can't do anything!

Suddenly, Guo Chongtao's brain was a "buzz".

******

I have to talk about Guo Chongtao's task in detail this time.

After the establishment of the Later Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunqiao, discussed with several of his important ministers what to do in the future?

Because at that time, Li Cunmiao had not completely unified the whole country. At that time, Li Cunmiao only occupied the five prefectures of Chang'an, Luoyang, Xuzhou, Youzhou, and Hedong. The five prefectures he occupies are almost the regions of the current Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, and Shaanxi provinces, which is still far from truly unifying the whole country.

At that time, there were four major meritorious ministers under the first king of the Later Tang Dynasty, as well as several other ministers.

The four heroes under the first king of the Later Tang Dynasty are Guo Chongtao, Li Siyuan, Li Cunxiao, and Li Cunqing.

Now, one of the four great heroes, Li Cunmiao, has become the emperor, and the other three are important ministers in the court.

The reason why Li Cunmiao was able to become the emperor was also thanks to Guo Chongtao, Li Siyuan, and Li Cunxiao.

Today, the emperor Li Cunqiao is with them to discuss state affairs.

Emperor Li Cunqiao asked them, what should we do in the future, should we strike while the iron is hot and immediately go south, or should we rest for a while?

For now their north is settled, and their west is settled, but their south is not yet settled.

Li Cunxiao said: "Now it is best for us to strike while the iron is hot and immediately go south, destroy the seven kings of the south in one go, and complete our great cause of reunification." ”

The "Seven Kings of the South" mentioned by Li Cunxiao were the seven separatist forces in the Yangtze River valley and south of the Yangtze River at that time. At that time, they all claimed to be one country. In fact, they are not very large. There are seven countries south of the Yangtze River, can the area still be large?

Li Siyuan disagreed with Li Cunxiao's proposition.

Li Siyuan said: "No. Now we have three that cannot go south. ”

The emperor asked, "What are the three that can't?" ”

Li Siyuan said: "The first one is no, now we have just fought a war with Zhu Liang for several years, our military and financial resources are huge, if we fight again, our military and financial resources are very tight, and the seven kings of the south, the seven kings of the south have basically been peaceful all these years, they have been developing their national strength all these years, and now their military and financial resources are very strong." ”

The emperor nodded.

The emperor said, "What about the second one?" ”

Li Siyuan said: "The second can't, now the seven kings of the south have signed their so-called "Seven Nations Alliance" with each other, that is, a contract for their side to support each other, no matter which of their seven kings is fought first, the other kings will not stand idly by, we want to break them all impossible, once we start a war with them, it is a war with their seven kings, and our current national strength, our current national strength wants to deal with their seven kings and it is very difficult." ”

The emperor nodded again.

The emperor asked again: "What about the third one?" ”

Li Siyuan said: "The third can't, now the Seven Kings of the South is an environment for the peaceful development of men and women, if we send troops to fight them and destroy the good life of others, people will inevitably rise up and attack them, and our country, if we start a war, our military salary is not very sufficient, we will inevitably increase taxes on our domestic people as military salaries, and our domestic people will not be satisfied." ”

The emperor nodded again.

The emperor said: "It makes sense. ”

At this time, the emperor remembered something.

The emperor asked Li Siyuan: "Li Aiqing, you said that it is a little inappropriate for us to send troops to fight the Seven Kings of the South now, but one day the Seven Kings of the South will send troops to fight us, but what should we do?" ”

"It's ......."

Li Siyuan was speechless.

Li Siyuan said: Yes, what will they do if they beat us one day in the future? What do they think in their hearts, where can I do it!

At this time, Guo Chongtao stood up.

Guo Chongtao offered a wonderful strategy for governing the country, which made the Tang Dynasty prosperous.
