Chapter 159: I'm not a prime minister
"Well, what the general said makes sense, I ordered you to be the prime minister, in charge of the affairs of Xiangzhou, in the future, the general is outside the main, you are in the main, the two of you will work together, unite the southern forces, jointly fight against the Northern Yuan, and strive to help me recover the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible!"
Zhao Zhen understood what Fang Tong meant, and she had already received a promise from Li Gengyun, she believed that what Li Gengyun said was true, so it was indeed suitable for her to decide to let Li Gengyun be the prime minister.
"I'm not a prime minister!"
Li Gengyun smiled and rejected Zhao Zhen and Fang Tong's proposal, he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the general's promotion, for recommending me as the prime minister, and thank you for the queen's kindness." ”
"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Li thinks that I can't do anything in Xiangzhou? Don't want to stay long? ”
Fang Tong was also a little puzzled when he heard that Li Gengyun had rejected his proposal, of course, he was more worried about whether the other party's identity had really betrayed.
"Neither nor not!"
Li Gengyun was still smiling, and he said to Fang Tong: "Outside the general, Gengyun can rest assured. But let me be in the Lord, the general is not at ease, and I am not at ease. ”
"What do you mean by that?!"
"As we all know, Xiangzhou is under the management of the general, the state is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, this is God bless me The Great Song Dynasty has such a great general, to be honest, the general is a civil and military all-rounder, and the general of the prime minister can also be competent. However, the next thing Gengyun has to do is to go to Nanzhou, Jiangzhou, Jiaozhou and Yizhou. At the same time, on the Nanchu side, I also plan to go in person, so I won't stay in Xiangzhou for a long time. The position of prime minister should not be hasty. ”
Li Gengyun does have a lot to do next, and in order for his plan to be effectively implemented, he must go there in person, wait until the joint forces are integrated, and then centralize management.
The current situation is very unclear, Jiangzhou has basically been controlled by the White Lotus Sect, and the controller of Nanzhou is Zhennan General Hua Teng, his son Hua Xu is as good as Zhao Ziyi, Nanzhou is bound to win, if Nanzhou completes the union, then the forces of Jiaozhou and Yizhou will soon be integrated into the joint forces, as for Nanchu, Li Gengyun has already made plans to go to Nanchu to borrow troops in person, so that his affairs in Xiangzhou will not be very long, and he is indeed not suitable for the position of prime minister.
"Oh? I wonder if Mr. Li can tell us about the action plan for this time? ”
Fang Tong was surprised and happy when he heard Li Gengyun say such a plan at once, he didn't expect that the other party would be able to act so carefully at such an age, plus these were all what he had thought about at the beginning, he also wanted to hear what Li Gengyun meant, whether it was consistent with his own thoughts.
"Plans can't keep up with changes, and the plans we make are all prepared in advance. Of course, this is all an action plan set to exclude Baili Xi from the Northern Yuan. I think that what we can think of, Baili Xi will definitely be able to calculate. ”
Li Gengyun smiled and replied to Fang Tong and Zhao Zhen: "Baili Xi's talent, I won't go into details." My original plan was to unite Nanzhou first and guide the forces of Jiaozhou and Yizhou into our alliance, as for Jiangzhou, it is currently under the control of the White Lotus Sect, and the lives of the people can be described as dire and miserable. And Bai Chongyang, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, also had some kind of agreement with Bai Lixi, so he would arrange for Bai Chongyang to sabotage our plan of action. ”
The fact that the White Lotus Sect controls Jiangzhou, Fang Tong and they also know, and Hua Teng and Zhao Mei in Nanzhou were originally friends, and it is a good way to unite Nanzhou to deal with Jiangzhou, according to the original plan, Fang Tong also planned to arrange people to go to Nanzhou to discuss with Hua Teng and discuss state affairs together. However, this strategy has not yet been implemented, which is somewhat similar to what Li Gengyun said before.
But Fang Tong believes that although there is already some right way in terms of strategy, now Li Gengyun's words seem to mean that he wants to veto the plan to unite Nanzhou to deal with Jiangzhou, or does he have other plans?
"Could Mr. Li please tell me, how are we going to deal with Jiangzhou, or rather, how many places does Jiangzhou come first?"
"First place!"
Li Gengyun said with a smile: "Baili Xi uses a plan to take one step and look at three steps, he can see that I will inevitably unite with the southern forces to fight against the Northern Yuan." If they are unwilling to join the alliance, then Huateng's 70,000 troops will go directly south and pocket these two states, so that Huateng's forces will become the largest forces in the south. When the time comes, will Huateng listen to us or will we listen to Huateng? ”
"You mean, General Hua wants to blackmail? Threaten us with strength? ”
"Why not?"
"General Hua is a person who understands current affairs, and the relationship between him and Prime Minister Zhao Cheng should be clear to the queen, but in the face of interests, people's choices will be different. One is the affection of the past, and the other is the power. If it were a general, what would you choose? ”
Li Gengyun's sudden rhetorical question also surprised Fang Tong, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Zhao Zhen: "Queen Mingjian, the ministers are loyal to the country, and they will never do that kind of despicable villain behavior of betraying the country and seeking glory." ”
"The general has misunderstood, and it is not that the general is the kind of person who betrays the country to seek glory. I am just assuming that if General Hua does not get the rights and results he wants, then where will General Hua go in the future, and his interests can be maximized? ”
"You mean, General Hua may join the Northern Yuan?!"
Li Gengyun's words, Zhao Zhen and the others couldn't help but think after listening to them, if Hua Teng is really such a person, then without getting considerable power, it is very likely to switch to Beiyuan, or directly take refuge in Bailixi. And for such a large piece of fatty meat, even a dog wants to take it away, not to mention that Beiyuan is so wolfish and ambitious, he will definitely not let go of such delicious meat. At that time, the three southern states will fall one after another, and the army of the Northern Yuan will be further expanded.
As a result, the disparity between the two sides will become even more wide, and the chances of turning defeat into victory will become more and more slim.
"From Nanchu, I think I can handle an army of 100,000. In addition, Xiangzhou has nearly 60,000 regular troops and 40,000 miscellaneous troops, so that when it accumulates, there will be an army of 200,000. Li Gengyun said with a smile, "But the three states of Nanzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou can be used as garrisons." Therefore, Jiangzhou is the key at present, and we have to give Hua Teng a message, that is, we are very strong, and our Xiangzhou army is very strong. ”
"Therefore, Jiangzhou must be the first to be eliminated! Bai Luojun of the White Lotus Sect can lead the way for us, as long as Bai Chongyang is caught, then we can get some information about the officers from them, and we can be ready when the time comes! ”
