As soon as the news of Jiaozhi's occupation of Yongzhou and Qinzhou spread, Bianliang was in an uproar, but at this time, some people explained that it was the imperial court that borrowed troops from Jiaozhi to judge. But fifteen days later, this self-deceptive lie was completely exposed. The police department forwarded a report from the local officials of Quang Nam, who had no right to play directly, saying that the Jiaozhi people had come to grab the land at all. Even Yu Jing saw that things were not good, and had to Pegasus Express Jiaozhi people from Yongzhou along the Yujiang River to the east, completely ignoring the dispatch, and occupying the towns all the way, expelling and massacring the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and plundering people's property, which seemed to have bad intentions.

Now Nong Zhigao is preparing to enter Jingxiang in the north of Yongzhou, but the Jiaozhi people are going east, and the blind can see that it is abnormal.

The emperor has read the folds for so many years, and the ministers have written the folds for so many years, and they are all people who have come over, so they naturally know that this "seem" in the folds is actually just a euphemism. Even Yu Jing, the initiator of borrowing troops from Jiaozhi, said that Jiaozhi people have bad intentions, so what Jiaozhi people want to do has been revealed. At this time, the people who had been advocating borrowing troops from Jiaozhi suddenly all shut up. And when this recital was handed to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen was stunned for a long time, and then ignored Pang Ji and the others who asked for sin, but turned his head and ordered Wang Zhongzheng: "Go quickly and ask Li Buqi to come to see me!" Right away! ”

Pang Ji closed his eyes a little helplessly, he knew that no one could stop Li Buqi anymore. Now the situation in Guangnan has deteriorated to the extreme, even if Li Buqi is unable to turn the tide, Li Buqi is not to blame. And as long as Li Buqi can stabilize the situation in Quang Nam, then the incompetent civil officials will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Now he really regrets it, to be honest, he also has doubts about borrowing troops from Jiaozhi, but because Li Buqi belittled Yu Jing, he can ignore the danger of treachery of Jiaozhi people in order to fight for his reputation. Now he doesn't hate Li Buqi, he still has this bit of open-mindedness, and he hates Jiaozhi people even more. But he understands that with such a big Louzi, even if the emperor doesn't pursue it, those who want to be on the phase at all times will not allow themselves to stay in the phase. If his political life is not done well, it will end here, and it is simply impossible for him to personally preside over the punishment of Jiaozhi people. That's what he regrets the most.

But Gao Ruone seemed to want to fight for it, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jiaozhi is a division from afar, but he is also a tired soldier. Quang Nam has been plundered by Nong Zhigao once, and it is difficult for the Jiaozhi people to raise military rations. As long as the local officials forbid the merchants to sell grain to the Jiaozhi people, and then send an army to refuse them, and when they are short of food, they will send a man who can speak well to accuse them of treachery, and the Jiaozhi army will inevitably retreat. Deputy Di's army will arrive in Guangnan in a few days, and in the face of 200,000 troops, Jiaozhi will definitely not dare to fight. When the army arrives, it is the time to withdraw from the army. ”

Zhao Zhen ordered the little eunuch: "Please ask Wang Jiedu to come, I want to ask him about Guangnan." ”

The sense of presence of military generals in the court is very low, and they generally show their faces during court meetings, and they rarely have the opportunity to go to the Chongzheng Palace to play right. Today, Wang Deyong was summoned, and hurriedly came to the Chongzheng Palace, and after listening to Gao Ruone's theory, he pretended to be silent before saying: "Gao Shumi's words are also reasonable. It's just that if the Jiaozhi people march east to attack Guangzhou, what should they do? All the states and counties along this road have been opened by Nong Zhigao, and now there are no soldiers to defend, and the Jiaozhi people will be like entering a no-man's land. There is a large amount of grain and grass in Guangzhou. As long as the Jiaozhi people have enough food and grass, they occupy Yongzhou to be anti-guest-oriented, waiting for work, but the imperial army is coming from afar, but it is a tired soldier. And most of the imperial army are northerners, who are not satisfied with the water and soil of Lingnan, if they can't fight quickly, only this miasma in Lingnan can make victory or defeat unpredictable. Now some people say that there are 20,000 Jiaozhi troops, some say that there are 50,000, but I don't know how many. If Nong Zhigao merges with Jiaozhi again, it will be even more worrying. ”

Zhao Zhen's face was black again. Gao Ruo hurriedly said: "Nong Zhigao and Jiaozhi are enemies, and they will never merge with Jiaozhi." ”

At this time, Wang Zhongzheng trotted in all the way to report that Li Buqi was coming, and Zhao Zhen hurriedly announced that Li Buqi had entered the palace and then introduced the situation in Guangnan to him, and then asked him his opinion. Li Buqi said politely this time: "Doesn't Gao Shumi even know the principle of leniency for the enemy? This is a child's play on state affairs! Gao Shumi can know that Jiaozhi is not a rogue like Nong Zhigao, since he invaded, how could he be unprepared? It's that the Jiaozhi people don't have enough military rations, but are there still fewer cases of using human flesh to fill military rations in the history books? Gao Shumi's head thinks that such a barbarian as Jiaozhi must not be able to do such a thing? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Jiaozhi people retreat without food, they will definitely loot and destroy before leaving, and it will be difficult for Yongzhou to support the imperial army stationed at that time. On the contrary, the Jiaozhi people controlled Guangyuan Prefecture and could re-enter Yongzhou at any time. At that time, Yongzhou, which was owned by the Great Song Dynasty, was shared by the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi, and if you want to completely control Yongzhou again, you don't know how long you will have to work hard. Of course, Da Song will definitely be able to defeat Jiaozhi, but I don't know how much it will cost and how many lives will be consumed. ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but shudder when he heard Li Buqi say that Jiaozhi people might eat people, and hurriedly asked: "Don't give up, what do you think should happen now?" ”

Li Buqi said: "The matter has come to this point, it is not as simple as exterminating Nong Zhigao. Since Jiaozhi has exposed the ambition of the wolf, if it is not punished, not only Jiaozhi will not be at peace, but Dali and Shanban will also follow suit, and there will be no peace in the south in the future. So this time it had to be solved together. In addition, the difficulty in Guangnan is not the extermination of Nong Zhigao and the defeat of Jiaozhi, but the remoteness of the place is difficult for long-term stability. Now that we have done some things while the army is moving south, and Quang Nam has been effectively stabilized, we can avoid such a thing as Nong Zhigao in the future. Therefore, the minister thinks that now we should not be greedy for a day's work, and we should have an overall strategy to seek peace in Guangnan for a hundred years. ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up and asked, "Don't give up having such confidence?" ”

Li Buqi said: "This can be had, but I am afraid that only ministers can implement this." If His Majesty gives the minister the right to act cheaply with the governor and the governor, the minister can try. ”

In fact, Li Buqi wrote to Zhao Zhen earlier in the notebook has a relatively complete strategy, but Zhao Zhen is also a drama master, although he has now made up his mind to let Li Buqi deal with the crisis in Guangnan, but he still pretended to say: "In this way, you can draw up a strategy in the palace and come out to me to see, how about it?" ”

The emperor wanted to act, Li Buqi had no choice but to accompany him, and immediately waved his life on the table set up next to the imperial case, and wrote more than 20 articles with enthusiasm.

Zhao Zhen took the Chen from the eunuch's hand, looked up at Li Buqi in surprise after the first glance, and then continued to read. Because except for the four or five articles added temporarily, the others were all read, so he finished reading them after a while, and then he said to Pang Ji and the others with a complicated expression: "You also look at this strategy." ”

Pang Ji took the strip from the little eunuch's hand, and was stunned when he saw the first one. The first article is to hope that the emperor will not change the prime minister for at least two or three years, and the demoted Guangxi Road transfer envoy Xiao Gu and the Guangdong Road transfer envoy Wang Han will still serve in their original posts and make meritorious contributions.

It is understandable to let the two transshipment envoys stay in office, because the two are familiar with local things. And the reason why the two of them were cut off was very wrong, especially Xiao Gu. He had already asked the imperial court to appease Nong Zhigao, not only to prevent Nong Zhigao from taking risks, but also to use Nong Zhigao to guard against Jiaozhi. However, the emperor was timid, for fear of annoying the Jiaozhi people, and asked Xiao Gu to guarantee that he would not give the Jiaozhi people the excuse to provoke, and Nong Zhigao would not rebel again. If this pot is not moved, the matter of appeasement will be over. But after Nong Zhigao raised his troops, Xiao Gu was demoted to be the governor of the state on the charge of negligence.

But why let him and Liang Shi stay in office? He Pang Ji and Liang Shi have always been working against Li Buqi in Guangnan affairs.

Looking further down, the reason given by Li Buqi is that the matter of Quang Nam is not a trivial matter, and if it is to be handled well, the DPRK and China must be stable. This is also a proper meaning for Li Buqi's huge plan.

Seeing this, Pang Ji had a further understanding of Li Buqi. Li Buqi can ignore the past suspicions, if he is not a great traitor, he is a gentleman who is dedicated to the country. Pang Ji is really hard to decide what to do with Li Buqi now.
