Since the Heavenly Master Sect was cleared from the heartland, Li Mao has no worries, although the disaster in the south has been resolved, the situation of many feudal towns has been formed, whether it is the Zhenjun of Runzhou, or the Wuchang army of Ezhou, or the Jingmen army of Jiangling, they all have enough separatist strength, He Sancai of Runzhou has already taken root, and it is not easy for him to give up the authority in his hands.

The Wuchang Army made Niu Monks and Children a frustrated party struggle, and had no intention of returning to Chang'an for the time being, and was focusing on running the Wuchang Army, vowing to build Eyue into the base camp of the Niu Party. Jiangling is the Nanjing of the Tang Dynasty, the place where the pro-noble forces are entrenched, Li Shi, the former king of Jingzhao Yin and Dao, was demoted to Lingnan, and was later pardoned and returned to Beijing.

After more than ten years, he tried his best to run Jiangling, to the time of his death has quite a weather, now Jiangling up and down the key points are controlled by Li Shi's disciples, by recruiting Chang'an disappointed guests, Jiangling is full of talents, the superior geographical environment makes its economy and trade developed, the people's livelihood is rich, the financial is sufficient, and the military strength has increased greatly after upgrading to the festival, and has become a force to be reckoned with in the south.

The three towns take the Yangtze River as the axis, automatically line up to the west, cross the Three Gorges, and go straight into Shuzhong. Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Lingnan, Fujian, Gui, Rong, Yong, Annan and other places to the south of the three towns have always been far away from the emperor of the sky, and the local forces are strong, and they have always been yang and yin against the imperial court, but the soldiers are small and the people are weak, and they dare not openly confront the imperial court like Hebei and the Central Plains.

In this way, if there is another major change in the DPRK and China, the day when the Son of Heaven is discredited will be the day of great chaos in the world, and this day seems to be not far away, because Li Han is playing with fire with great interest, and he does not realize that he is actually sitting on a huge powder keg.

If there is a change in Chang'an, which will be the most likely feudal town to enter King Jingqin? The answer is self-explanatory, Suining! There are 20,000 garrisons in Suining, and the military power has fallen into the hands of Pei Renyong, who is under the command of the Guo family brothers and sisters. But the heavy troops in Guanzhong are stationed, and only a Suining can't set off a big wave, but he is a primer, once the powder keg is detonated, the consequence will inevitably be to smash the Tongguan Tianwei bomb, and then the princes of Shandong will lead the troops westward in the name of King Qin to reap the benefits.

At that time, Guanzhong will be in turmoil, the royal family will be swept away, and the suppressed forces in the south will surely take the opportunity to rise, and the local feudal towns will take the opportunity to expand their power, ask for the name of the imperial court, and take root in the ground. When the powerful feudal lords in the north divided the winners and losers, and the largest family ate the weak, and after the dynasty was changed, the powerful factions in the south called themselves kings and emperors, and competed with the new dynasties in the north. At that time, the best situation is a confrontation between the North and the South, but the most likely is to enter the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms ahead of schedule.

Li Mao's plan was that when a major event occurred in Chang'an to subvert Li Tang's rivers and mountains, he would lead his troops south to King Qin, take the opportunity to sweep away the princes of Hebei and the Central Plains, and enter the Guanzhong to take over the Li Tang royal family, so that the Son of Heaven could coerce the princes to make it the best, and the second was to set up a prince as the emperor, and coerce Li Tang Yuwei to sweep the world, and after the Central Plains was all in his pocket, he would replace Li Tang and sweep the local powerful faction in the south and unify the rivers and mountains. Restore the territory and order of the Tang Dynasty.

With his current strength to sweep away the heroes is very sure, of course, the premise is that the heroes are fighting separately and do not unite to deal with him, the heroes have their own ambitions, and it is unlikely that they will unite to deal with him, but the timing of sending troops to the south must be grasped, after all, this world is still the world of Li Shimin's descendants, once the people of the world recognize that he Li Mao has the heart to replace him, he will fall into a quagmire morally, even if he has a million male soldiers, it is difficult to defeat the wolves of the Quartet.

Therefore, this first shot cannot be released by oneself, and it is necessary to wait for the south to fight first, and it is best to let the emperor himself issue an edict to invite him to be the king of Qin, and then it is justifiable to send troops.

To operate such a major event, Hu Sijin's means are not enough, and Tian Qian has to come forward in person, only she can grasp the priorities here. Li Mao personally sent her out of the city ten miles away, drank the parting wine, and sent her on foot, and finally advised: "If you can do it, you can't do it, you can't do it, save your strength, and wait for the opportunity." Tian Qian smiled: "You have said this more than ten times since last night, if you don't worry about me, ask me to send me." ”

Li Mao said: "Aren't I worried about you. ”

Tian Qian said: "I'm no longer a teenager, I know the severity." ”

When parting, Li Mao took off his cloak and covered Tian Yuan's body, cherished each other, and went their separate ways.

On the way back to the city, Shikong saw that Li Mao was unhappy, so he persuaded: "Spring is blooming, the weather is so good, go out hunting." Li Mao said: "It's cold, how can there be any prey to fight." Shi Kong said: "The right should be the activity of the muscles and bones." ”

Li Mao understood that Shi Kong wanted him to distract himself, because he thought that he was too childish, and because he loved to travel far away, he hung his unhappiness on his face, which made people laugh at it.

Thinking about this, he took a bow and arrow and galloped with the generals in the wild, the animals in early spring were thin and pitiful, there was nothing to fight, and the spring was about to begin, it was the breeding season for the animals, and this season was not suitable for hunting. Li Mao's original intention was to scatter his mind, so he casually released two arrows, ran around, and began to walk back when he uncovered the section in his heart.

Everyone entered the city from the north gate, Shi Kong proposed to go to a beef soup restaurant surnamed Hong in the south of the city to try it, and Li Mao had not gone deep into Lu Lane for a long time to observe the people's feelings, so he readily agreed. Everyone went to the Youzhou Assassin's Mansion together, changed their clothes, and called Han Zhenzhi to travel together.

The reason why the beef soup restaurant is booming is not only because the soup is well made and the amount of cake is sufficient, but more importantly, the wife and daughter of the boss Hong San are all stunning, especially Hong San's wife, Hong Sanniang, who is thirty-six or seventeen years old, with a white face and a slender posture, standing with her sixteen-year-old daughter, eight out of ten people who don't know each other want to mistake the two as sisters. And Hong San's daughter Hong Suisui is even more famous, and she has already caused a sensation in Youzhou City.

Li Mao looked at the mother and daughter carefully and asked Shi Kong: "To be honest, do you come often?" Shi Kong smiled: "To be honest, I can't wait to come every day, but I often don't have time." Then he asked, "What is the appearance of this mother and daughter?" Li Mao said: "It's really good that people look good, but the name 'Beef Soup Shih Tzu' is too bad, who gave it?" ”

Shi Kong's face flushed: "I got up." Li Mao shook his head and said: "If you don't have knowledge, you will learn less, and people will inscribe names everywhere." ”

Han Zhenzhi on the side laughed when he heard this, immediately choked, coughed repeatedly, and hurriedly covered his mouth and ran to the backyard to rinse his mouth. Li Mao asked Shi Kong: "You brought me here, it's not just as simple as seeing and feasting your eyes." Shi Kong smiled: "My eldest is still single, what do you think of this girl?" Give long eyes. Li Mao said: "It's too glamorous, it may not be a blessing." Listen to me, marry someone who is right, virtuous, and live a stable life. I also don't advocate wives and concubines to keep a bunch at home, delaying other people's youth and killing their own ambitions, and it is not beneficial to each other. Shi Kong nodded and said, "Forget it, listen to you or find a down-to-earth life." ”

The soup in this house tastes really good, Li Mao drank a bowl and called a bowl, bowed his head and tasted it, suddenly five people came to the store, led by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, dressed in brocade and golden crown, holding a horsewhip, striding in, standing still, glanced around, his eyes fell on the waist of Hong Suisui who was cleaning up the table on the side, his feet slipped, the person had arrived in front of her, the evil eyes turned up and down, and laughed: "Little sister, you are the beef soup Shih Tzu?" ”

Hong Suisui was obviously frightened by this uninvited guest, grabbed the tray to protect his chest, and opened his mouth to speak. Hong San, who was settling the bill for the guests on the side, saw someone pestering his daughter, so he hurriedly grabbed it, opened his arms to separate the young man in brocade, and said with a smile: "The guests are here, they want to eat something, the shop has an old soup made of high-quality beef tendons and bones, and there are steamed cakes with white noodles." ”

The young man in brocade clothes had not sold his treacherous scheme, and he was not happy in his heart, but there were many people, and the three of them had old ways, so he couldn't have a seizure. With a gloomy face, he glanced around, and said to a young man who was drinking soup with his head down: "I haven't eaten in eight lifetimes, and I drink so loudly?!" One person occupies a table, and you still don't let people do business? Ignorant things, say that you, dare to stare and get up. The young man saw that he was well-dressed and that he had four sturdy retinues around him, and he did not dare to say anything because he could not afford to provoke him.

Hong San had to be appeased with good words, exempted him from the soup cake money, and gave the gift out of the store.

Li Mao glanced at the young man and asked Shi Kong: "Whose child is it, it looks a little familiar." Shi Kong glanced at it, smiled slightly, and whispered: "If I remember correctly, it is the third boy of the Xiaozhang family." ”

"Zheng Pucheng? It's him? Li Mao didn't believe his ears, and glanced at it again, "It's all grown so big." ”
