After finally obtaining the appointment he requested, Li Xian was not idle, he was now busy making new deployments, on the one hand, for the imminent counterattack of the Empress Wu, on the other hand, he was also brewing a huge plan, this plan was the first step for him to establish immortal merits, I believe that as long as this step can be realized, he will definitely be able to make the Tang Dynasty move towards a new strength after the destruction of Goguryeo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And the most critical step of this plan was on Xue Ne, so he decided to visit Xue Ne and tell Xue Ne the whole thing about his plan.

In fact, the current Xue Ne is very depressed, although he was promoted to the governor of Jiaozhou from Sanpin. This is because the place where he works is the southwest region of the Tang Empire, not only is the geographical location very remote, but the living conditions are also very poor, and more importantly, he and his father Xue Rengui are a southwest, a northeast, tens of thousands of miles apart, I don't know how many years to see each other, and more importantly, once he is rooted in the southwest, it is difficult for the imperial court to think about it, and if he wants to be further promoted, it is a difficult thing.

But when discussing in the political hall, his father Xue Rengui, who is also the prime minister, did not have the slightest objection, and when he asked the reason, his father just used the sentence "A good man is ambitious in all directions" to send him away.

"What kind of bullshit excuse is this?" Xue Ne couldn't help but feel bored, but he had nowhere to say at all, he could only sit at home every day, and he didn't even want to go out of the door.

"Ah Lang, King Zhou is here."

"If you don't see it, just say I'm in trouble...... Wait, who do you say? Xue Ne habitually didn't want to see anyone, but when he heard that the seeker turned out to be Li Xian, the king of Zhou, he suddenly came to his senses, as if he didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Zhou Wangxian is waiting outside the mansion gate...... Alang, Aaron, you haven't put on your shoes yet. After reporting Li Xian's name just now, the family suddenly saw that Xue Ne disappeared as soon as he slipped away, and he didn't even wear shoes, so he couldn't help but hurriedly shouted.

But Xue Ne didn't say that he didn't hear it, and even if he did, he would definitely ignore it, because he really needed to talk to Li Xianyi, and then if he could learn martial arts again and vent the depression in his heart, it would be the best.

"Qilang, you are here, I am depressed these days." Xue Ne is just like his name, he is wooden and restrained by nature, and rarely speaks when he sees outsiders, even in front of his father Xue Rengui, he is just as silent, but only in Li Xian's place, the words are like a chatter, as if he wants to pour out all the words accumulated for many days.

"Oh? I don't know why I'm depressed? Let's guess, isn't it for the appointment of the governor of Jiaozhou? Li Xian didn't say much, but went straight to the point and said with a smile.

"This, this, how do you know?" Xue Ne couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, do you still need to ask? Because the initiator of this matter is Xiao Wang, in other words, the reason why you were appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou is because of my instructions. Li Xian looked at Xue Ne, who was inexplicably surprised, and said with a faint smile.

"Huh? This, this, what is this? Xue Ne couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he couldn't have imagined that it was Li Xian who placed him in such a place where birds don't, but Xue Ne was Xue Ne after all, he just thought about it a little, and felt that this arrangement must be unusual, so he added: "Could it be that Qilang has another meaning?" ”

"Yes, I'll give you a great credit, I don't know if you want to say it carefully?" Li Xian's eyes were full of smiles, but at the same time, he maintained a sense of mystery, so that Xue Ne didn't know what the other party was planning.

"Oh? I don't know what the credit is? Of course I do. As soon as he heard that he was going to get a great achievement, Xue Ne was naturally full of eagerness, and said excitedly to Li Xian.

"Hehe, I'll give you a Tubo, I don't know how this credit is?" Li Xian naturally took in Xue Ne's excitement, but he knew that as long as the other party heard his intentions clearly, he would become even more excited than now.

Xue Ne's eyes lit up when he heard this, but after a while, he said with a wry smile: "Although you have given a lot of credit, but I may not be able to take it, you should also know that although Tubo was defeated five years ago, but the local losses are not much, and now after five years of accumulation, although it is not able to launch an attack on the well-defended Tang Dynasty for a while, but the power of self-protection is there, in my opinion, even if we concentrate an army of 300,000, we may not be able to capture Tubo." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Xian didn't care about his worries at all, and said lightly: "Hehe, if it is through normal channels, it is naturally impossible to capture Tubo, but what if it is by unconventional means?" For example, if we take advantage of the emptiness of the Tibetan army and stab him in the back, do you think that the Tibetan will perish? ”

"A stab in the back? Behind Tubo is not the land of my Tang Dynasty. Hey? What do you mean? Xue Ne couldn't help but be stunned when he thought of this, and asked randomly and strangely: "Could it be that you want to bypass Tubo and attack the country behind Tubo first?" If I'm not mistaken, the largest country behind Tibet is Tianzhu, but let's not say that it will definitely be intercepted by Tibet, even if it can really succeed, it is also a matter of the armies of the Western Regions, what does it have to do with me? ”

But Li Xian laughed and said: "At this time, as you just said, if you really attack Tianzhu behind Tubo by land", what is the difference between taking death? It has nothing to do with you, so my plan is naturally not to attack Tianzhu by land, but to rely on the sea. ”

"By sea?" Xue Ne was stunned when he heard this, and then said in surprise: "Didn't you say that from the Jiaozhou where I am located, you can directly take the sea route to Tianzhu?" ”

"Hehe, so to speak, Shen Yan, you only need to lead the army to capture Linyi and Zhenla, and then take a boat from Zhenla to the west, only a few hundred miles can see a vast land, this place is Tianzhu, and today Zhu is divided, you command my Tang warriors, and soon be able to conquer the entire Tianzhu, and at this time, as long as my Western Regions army presses the border, Tubo will inevitably lead the army of the country to defend, then you can take advantage of the emptiness in Tubo, capture Luo in one fell swoop, and build a miracle."

"It turns out that the king has such a strange plan, but I don't know how the king learned that our army leads to the waterway of Tianzhu? This is the first time I've heard of this. Listening to Li Xian's words, Xue Ne couldn't help but have questions in his stomach, and hurriedly asked strangely.

"Hehe, I heard from the big shopkeeper of the Tang Dynasty that his caravan has traded with Tianzhu at sea, but due to the blockade of Zhenla, the scale of this fleet is not large, and it is also subject to heavy taxes, which is not suitable for a large group of people to pass through, because of this, we need to capture Zhenla first, and then use Zhenla as a base to attack Tianzhu."

What Li Xian said was naturally true, but what Xue Ne didn't know was that the reason why this caravan wanted to trade with Tianzhu by sea was mainly because of Li Xian's cognition of this road, and in addition to doing business, the caravan also had a mission, that is, to explore the road for Tianzhu in the future.

In fact, in order to attack Tianzhu, Li Xian had been preparing for ten years before this.

Xue Ne had no experience in business, so he naturally didn't know how much hardship Li Xian had gone through, but what he was thinking about now was another issue, so he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Fighting is naturally not a problem, but Jiaozhou is barren, and the people have many Yidi belongings, so it may be difficult to support." ”

But seeing Li Xian laughed: "You don't have to worry about this section, he has already thought of it, Jiaozhou is rich in pearls, ivory and other valuables, you only need to allow the caravan to pass freely, and impose taxes, I believe that it will not take long to improve the local financial situation, as for the people are mostly Yidi's belongings, there is no need to worry, you only need to open the market trade, and stipulate that money and silk are traded, and bartering is not allowed, and then the governor's office will pay to hire local Yidi people to send troops to fight, so as to solve the local security problem, It can also organize a large army that can conquer and fight as soon as possible, and can also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the local Yidi people, which can really be described as killing three birds with one stone. As for the lack of money and goods in the Governor's Mansion in the future, you don't need to worry, you only need to hold the token in my hand, and you can go to the local Xiantang branch to withdraw money and silk, which is guaranteed to meet your needs. In other words, you are not allowed to worry about money and silk, you only need to follow my requirements to capture Linyi and Zhenla as soon as possible, and then use Zhenla as a base to capture Tianzhu. ”

"No wonder the king is so wealthy, it turns out that he has already taken the Xiantang business for his own use, well, this time with the help of the Xiantang business, if I can't attack Zhenla and Tianzhu again, what face will I have to see the king again? Hehe, this time the king gave the last general such a great credit, and the last general will be broken and there is no way to repay it. When Xue Ne heard this, the haze on his face had long disappeared, and he was replaced by a full of pride, because at this time he had decided to do a big job and make an immortal feat, which could be comparable to or even surpass Li Jing, Li Ji and other Tang military gods.

Li Xian saw that Xue Ne really agreed, and his heart was naturally full of joy, so he hurriedly patted Xue Ne's back, and said with a smile: "I have to be cautious, such as Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty, and Li Jing of Emperor Taizongwen, I believe that Shen Yan will definitely be able to expand the territory, establish meritorious deeds, and become the new generation of military gods of my Tang Dynasty." As long as you can persevere, there will be a successful day in the future, and I promise you that as long as you can do it, I will definitely reward you in the future. Hehe, by the way, I have a Kunlun slave under my command, named Leopard Head, and now I have helped him restore his civilian identity, and named it Li Bao, this person is the Zhenla people, and he is quite prestigious in the local area, so he will be transferred to your command, if you attack Zhenla in the future, it will definitely become a big help, as for the issue of loyalty, you don't have to worry about it at all, because I had an agreement with him at the beginning, as long as I can assist me to capture Zhenla, I will make him guard on his behalf, as long as there is no objection, you can be hereditary. ”

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person under the command of the king, this is really a big help for the general, I don't know where this person is?" Xue Ne was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was anxious to meet this person who could serve himself to achieve great things. (To be continued.) )
