Chapter 378: West Cool Journey (10)
"Just what?"
Zhou Gandang asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Heng said: "It's just that this condition, I'm afraid it will be opened a little higher, so that Luo Yi has enough interest to use it for us." ”
Zhou Gandang said: "Why, Lone even gave him his daughter, isn't he satisfied?" ”
Li Heng said embarrassedly: "The king, Princess Qiao, it's just used to bring us closer to Luo Yi, not the actual benefits that Luo Yi gets, don't forget... Luo Yi is a businessman, businessmen are profit-seeking, and if he has a bargaining chip that can make him tempted, he will accept it willingly. ”
Zhou Gandang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense, then what kind of chips do you think should be used to make him excited?" The lonely king heard that he is not lustful, and he does not like officials, and his wealth is the most in the world, such a person... ”
Wealth can't move his heart, Jue Lu can't do it, such a person is indeed troublesome, I'm afraid that even the gods can't do it.
However, Li Heng smiled straightly, as if he had seen through everything, and after laughing, he said: "The king doesn't know, Luo Yi doesn't like officials, on the contrary, he likes them very much, he likes them more than anyone else, but this official must not be a false name." In other words, what Luo Yi wants now is a stability, to make him feel that his life and property are sufficiently guaranteed and safe, and to give him such an official, he will definitely be tempted. Because, this is what the Tang Emperor can't give him, and we can! ”
"Perhaps, this is the reason why Xiliang is different from the Central Plains, and it is precisely in this way that Luo Yi can be retained."
Zhou Gandang had to admit that what Li Heng said was very reasonable and thoughtful. At the same time that Luo Yi was assigned, only stability was what Luo Yi wanted most.
Zhou Gandang nodded imperceptibly.
Li Heng continued: "The king can crown him as the general of Zhenxi and the minister of the interior of the Western Regions, reward him with Xiyang County, Pingyang County, and Huyang County, and take these three counties as his fiefdoms, and promise, but ask him about anything in the fief, all military and civil, he is in charge alone, and he is in charge of the military and political life and death." ”
Xiliang is vast, there are no less than 100 large and small counties, and the area is about the same, about 100 miles, that is to say, the fief given to Luo Yi is 300 miles.
Compared with the huge Xiliang, this is nothing at all, but Zhou Gandang is a little hesitant, not that he is stingy and reluctant to the three county seats, but that he feels that the power given to Luo Yi is too great, and the military and political affairs and people's livelihood are all decided by Luo Yi.
Li Heng has followed Zhou Gandang for more than ten years, of course he knows Zhou Gandang's thoughts, and suddenly smiled: "King, don't worry about Luo Yi's expansion, he can't turn the sky upside down." Your Majesty, please see where these three county towns are. ”
As he spoke, Li Heng pointed to a map hanging on the wall, especially in the most popular position. That's what Li Heng said before, Xiyang County, Pingyang County, and Huyang County.
Li Heng said: "These three counties, close to the Western Regions, there are Qiang people wandering, there are often wars, abnormal chaos, there are horse thieves, mountain thieves, local families and other forces, the situation is complicated, there has never been peace, Luo Yi went there, it can't be pacified in a short time, this mess, it will take him a year or two to clean it up, and when he cleans it up, we should also attack the Central Plains; At that time, even if he wants to make trouble, he must have soldiers, the people in those three counties are extremely scarce, and it is difficult to recruit soldiers, without soldiers, what will he do to make trouble? Take a step back and say, even if he has soldiers, he must train, what combat effectiveness can the newly recruited soldiers have. To sum up, even if he has a ghost in his heart, even if he wants to rebel, it will be difficult for him to become a climate in three or five years, and three or five years later, if nothing else, we have already entered the Central Plains, at that time, our strength, to clean up a little Luo Yi, isn't it easy, Luo Yi's life and death are all in the king's thoughts. ”
Zhou Gandang smiled and said: "Okay, it's really a good plan, first give him some sweetness, let him serve this king, and then find an opportunity to destroy him..." ”
"Prime minister, hurry up and do it, just as you said, the three counties have been given to him, and this king can also help him with some soldiers, so that he can have the ability to quell the local rebellion, and if he wants any reward, this king will give it!"
"Hahaha..."
The more Zhou Gandang spoke, the more excited he became, and finally laughed.
persuaded Zhou Gandang, Li Hengchang breathed a sigh of relief.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, as long as Luo Yi nods again, then this matter will be a certainty, and it will never change.
"The minister retired, and the minister went to ask Luo Yi to see what he was thinking."
"Okay, there you go."
"Yes."
Li Heng bowed his hand slightly and slowly withdrew from the study.
...........
Since Li Heng said those words that day, Luo Yi hasn't slept for several nights, thinking about gains and losses all the time, thinking about the way forward, is it to go back to Chang'an? Or stay in Xiliang?
Xu is Li Heng's words were really reasonable, and they left a deep impression on Luo Yi, and unconsciously, Luo Yi actually changed his previous thoughts, and his loyalty to Li Shimin was greatly reduced.
The kind of life that Li Heng said is what Luo Yi has always wanted, and it is also something that Li Shimin can't give.
"Big brother, have you thought about it?"
I don't know when, Zhao Wenxian also appeared in the house.
Luo Yi turned his head and sighed, "Not yet." ”
Zhao Wenxian said: "Li Guoxiang is here again, waiting downstairs." Is it for him to come up? ”
"Don't, he came here, he must have asked me if I had thought about it, you tell him, I haven't thought about it yet, let him go back, you are the same, go out and close the door, don't come in without my orders."
Zhao Wenxian shook his head and said, "Alas, okay." ”
He went downstairs, waved his hand at Li Heng and said, "Li Guoxiang, I think you will die, I don't think the eldest brother will agree." ”
Li Heng frowned and said, "You take me up, and I'll persuade him again." ”
"Wait."
Zhao Wenxian said: "The eldest brother said, I don't see anyone, not even me, you better save it." ”
"What can I do then, if you don't see me, how can I persuade him?"
"So I won't persuade him, no one can persuade him what he doesn't want to do."
Zhao Wenxian was a little disheartened, he originally agreed with Li Heng's idea very much, with the territory, he had the right and freedom, and he would never have to look at other people's faces in the future, let alone be oppressed by Li Shimin.
But now it seems that everything is a pipe dream, and Luo Yi doesn't mean that at all.
Li Heng was not discouraged, he smiled, patted Zhao Wenxian's shoulder and said, "Brother Wenxian, let's find a place to drink, I told you the same, maybe we can help your eldest brother." ”
"Okay, let's drink."
Zhao Wenxian did not hesitate, and followed Li Heng out of the Drunken Immortal Residence.
Originally, if you want to drink, you should be in the Drunken Immortal Residence, how can it be compared to here, but Luo Yi is upstairs, and both of them know that it is inconvenient to talk, so it is better to change places.
Not long after, the two arrived at a wine shop, let the shopkeeper serve wine, and the two drank.
Maybe it's because they have the same opinion, so they are very compatible, and they are very appetizing when they talk.
Zhao Wenxian said: "I really want my eldest brother to stay in Xiliang now, and don't let him go back to Chang'an, if you have any ideas, just say, I can help, I will definitely help." ”
"Okay, Brother Wen Xian is really refreshing."
Li Heng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let your eldest brother stay in Xiliang." ”
"Can you do it? Okay, you hurry up. ”
Li Heng took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to help your eldest brother make this decision, let's..." And then... In this way, your eldest brother must stay in Xiliang. ”
Li Heng said a plan, and when Zhao Wenxian heard it, he laughed and said, "Okay, good strategy!" ”
"Oh, I didn't think of that."
Zhao Wenxian said again: "Li Guoxiang, thank you for reminding me, just wait for my good news, I will definitely handle this matter well." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
The two of them shared a drink, and after continuing to refine the strategy, they got up and dispersed.
That night, Zhao Wenxian went to Luo Yi's room, carrying two bottles of wine, shaking and shaking, looking happy.
"Big brother, I'll accompany you to have two drinks, let's think about staying in Xiliang, maybe when you're done drinking, you'll figure it out, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows."
"It's fine."
Luo Yi didn't think much about it, he really wanted to drink, and just now he was thinking about letting people bring the pot of wine, but he didn't expect Zhao Wenxian to come up with the wine.
