"Hahaha. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info. ”

Li Tingzhi laughed and pointed at Wu Shaogang.

"Amazing, indeed powerful, presumably Lu Wende can firmly remember, using such methods to calculate you, it can be regarded as he hit a wall, and this kind of indiscriminate method is also taken out, it is really a joke, but you still need to pay attention in the future, Lu Wende is a deep thinker, thinking about what to do, he must achieve his goal, if he does not have such perseverance, he will not have today's status."

"What my father-in-law said is that I just don't want to directly confront Lu Wende."

"Well, the conflicts that can be avoided, we still have to try to avoid them, this is not a show of weakness, this is in exchange for more opportunities, you have unusual ambitions, you have those times, you might as well do more things."

Speaking of this, Li Tingzhi stood up and paced a few steps slowly.

"Now you are already the envoy of Sichuan, but in the holy decree, you are not granted the power to arbitrarily make the decision, that is to say, including all the armies in Sichuan, including the Hezhou Imperial Army, you are not able to directly command, you need to pay special attention to this, Sichuan is an eventful place, if there is no support of the army, it is impossible to be completely stable, if there is no support of the strong army, it is impossible to hold, and now Zhang Binghui is leading the soldiers of the Hezhou Imperial Army, into Yunnan, Presumably, you will be able to completely conquer Yunnan in the shortest possible time, so that the combination of Yunnan and Sichuan will have a very large territory, far larger than the two Huai places, and you may need to worry more about it. ”

"Father-in-law, I'm thinking about this too."

"The people in the court know very well that they can't completely separate you from the Hezhou Imperial Army, after all, it is under your creation that the Hezhou Imperial Army is so brave that it can defeat the Mongol Tartars several times, but whether it is the emperor or the Privy Council, they will try their best to cut off the connection between you and the Hezhou Imperial Army, which is probably the main thing for the imperial court to do next."

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Tingzhi and nodded slightly.

"Father-in-law, I'm afraid that the emperor and the Privy Council will be disappointed, not only will I not give up the command of the imperial army in Hezhou, but also in the shortest possible time, completely merge the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion and the imperial army of Jinzhou, the situation facing Sichuan is not ordinary, once we take Yunnan, it will definitely completely anger Kublai Khan, he will send a large army to attack Sichuan, and I will not stop until I fight to break the net, so I must strengthen the strength of the imperial army in Hezhou in the shortest possible time."

"Well, your idea is correct and feasible, the emperor and the court probably didn't expect that you, the envoy, are afraid that you are the most powerful envoy, and you will leave the capital in a few days, I will give you three suggestions."

Wu Shaogang's expression became focused.

"The first suggestion, to completely control the government at all levels in Sichuan, the chief official needs to be someone you can trust or slightly familiar with, this thing seems to be difficult to do, but with my help, it won't be too difficult, you didn't participate in the imperial examination, there are not many familiar people among the civil officials, but it doesn't matter, the imperial army in Hezhou has made great contributions, and they should be rewarded, you can provide a list of meritorious people, I will find a way to let them enter the yamen of Sichuan Prefecture and County, as for the candidates of the prefect, you need to worry more, It is not appropriate for these civilian officers to be drawn from the army. ”

"The second suggestion, boldly blend the various armies stationed in Sichuan, enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, mainly to combine the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army, you have already had a substantial action, I believe that it will not take long to be able to completely transform and win over the Imperial Army of Xingyuan Mansion, as for the Jinzhou Imperial Army, I suggest that you don't have to pay too much attention to it, the Jinzhou Imperial Army in the Battle of Diaoyu City that year, has suffered heavy losses, so many years have not been able to recover, there is no strong combat effectiveness, it is not worth your too much effort, Today's Jinzhou Imperial Army, the total strength is only about 5,000 people, from the total number of its troops, there is a shortage of nearly 10,000, this gap you can make a fuss, nominally the sergeant of the Jinzhou Imperial Army, in fact, directly controlled by the Hezhou Imperial Army. ”

"The third suggestion, use more forces, influence many decisions of the imperial court, and buy time for the stability of Sichuan and Yunnan, you have done an analysis, thinking that after the imperial army of Hezhou took Yunnan and controlled Tibet, it will cause the anger of Kublai Khan and the large-scale attack of the Mongol Tatars, this prediction is accurate, and it is also certain, my Great Song Dynasty is not only the army of Sichuan, but also many armies, once Kublai Khan attacks Sichuan, it will definitely cause the emptiness of the defense of Huaibei, Shandong and other places, If the Privy Council can take advantage of this time to send a large army to take the initiative to attack Huaibei and other places, it will make Kublai Khan's first place unable to take into account, and from the overall strategic consideration, Kublai Khan still attaches more importance to Huaibei and Shandong and other places, if Kublai Khan is sober enough, then he will transfer troops to strengthen the defense of Huaibei and Shandong and other places. ”

。。。

Wu Shaogang nodded frequently, Li Tingzhi's analysis was very accurate, and it was also the goal that Wu Shaogang hoped to achieve.

"Father-in-law, I have memorized everything, but there are some things that cannot be done by relying on my strength alone, and it is only by relying on my father-in-law that I can implement them."

"I don't have to worry here, I will do my best to help you, everything that can be done will be done, you said that Sichuan lacks a large number of officials, this is actually not a problem, from the Hezhou Imperial Army to the former army of the people, to Sichuan to be officials, can make up for the lack of this aspect, in fact, those officers in the army who have experienced life and death, in the ability to act in government affairs, will never be worse than the imperial examination scholars, and even much stronger, I also want to let Tianfang and Yulu be able to enter the Hezhou Imperial Army to sharpen, I also know that you will not be willing, and if there is a chance in the future, let them go to the army to experience it. ”

"This, I remember."

"By the way, I have already left Lianghuai, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of your family in Luzhou in the future, do you also think about them, if you can let them enter Sichuan, I am afraid it is also the best choice."

When Li Tingzhi said this, Wu Shaogang squinted his eyes, after leaving the capital, he had to rush home, he must attend his sister's wedding, the two Huai envoys are already Lu Wende, who knows if Lu Wende after taking office will suppress the power of the Wu family.

Relocating all of the family to Sichuan is even more unrealistic and may cause a lot of discussion.

"Father-in-law, I really haven't thought about how to deal with family matters."

Li Tingzhi looked at Wu Shaogang and sighed slightly.

"If you want to be as beautiful as before, it is impossible, especially for the younger generation, it is difficult to get ahead, so I suggest you consider it, let them go to Sichuan, this is also a helpless move, Sichuan is an eventful place, I don't know how many conquests will be faced in the future, there are many dangers, as for the elderly, they can stay in the local area, even if Lu Wende hates you to the core, he will not dare to do it to the elders in the family, this is a big taboo."

Wu Shaogang nodded.

"Well, it's feasible to let my younger siblings enter Sichuan."

"If you agree, I'll handle the matter."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang remembered something.

"Father-in-law, after the Hezhou Imperial Army recovers Yunnan, will it cause controversy in the imperial court, this is what I am a little worried about, using Sichuan to control the whole of Yunnan is my original idea, I don't know if it is feasible."

"For the time being."

Li Tingzhi replied in the affirmative.

"In fact, the emperor and the Privy Council, the situation in Sichuan is not optimistic, whether you have recovered Yunnan, or controlled Tubo, after all, there is a lesson from the past, the battle of Huaibei, the imperial army did not control many Fuzhou counties in Huaibei, and finally evacuated back, now Sichuan, in the eyes of the emperor and the imperial court, is the former Huaibei, Chengdu Road, Lizhou West Road and Yunnan and other places, the Mongolian Tartars will sooner or later have to do their best to recapture it, so the Hezhou Imperial Army conquered Yunnan, There was no concern in the DPRK and China. ”

。。。

At this point, Wu Shaogang finally roughly understood the situation, and just when he was a little relieved and relieved, Li Tingzhi's expression became serious again.

"Cangling, this time you returned to the capital in a low-key manner, and before receiving the holy decree, you did not return home, and have been staying in the official post, this treatment is very correct, the victory of the battle of Sichuan, spread throughout the capital, including teahouses, wine shops and tiles, are all about you and the deeds of the imperial army in Hezhou, there are many rumors that do not match the facts, too high to promote you, this is actually very unfavorable to you, presumably you also know, attracted a high degree of attention."

"Yes, I've noticed these things."

"If the people who exalt you excessively, if they are ordinary people, it doesn't matter, after all, the people have grievances in their hearts, but if they are officials in the court, they have other thoughts, those people must be unfavorable to you, I just want to remind you that no matter what the situation, you need to stay sober and not hot-headed."

After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, he fell silent, and Wu Shaogang did not speak.

The two actually thought of the same thing, that is, what was shown behind this matter, the former Great Song Dynasty was brilliant, but such glory did not last too long, what is the reason for this, except for the Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force, which led to the weakening of the army, is there no other reason.

The incident that Li Tingzhi just mentioned is likely to be one of the reasons.

As big as the world, as small as every family, if you are a wise and strong person, you will always encounter calculations, and it is probably reasonable that the world is turbulent and the family is decaying.

In the view of Li Tingzhi and Wu Shaogang, the Southern Song Dynasty court has always had problems in this regard. (To be continued.) )
