Chapter 296: Women Chase Men
After more than half a month of running-in and sorting, Li Bao, with the help of Zhang Hui and Yun Fang, sorted out his Tubo strategy, and he also convened the high-level civil and military leaders of Weizhou to jointly formulate the first five-year plan of Weizhou Group.
As the head of Weizhou, Li Bao had to think more, so he thought of a strategy for the development of the northwest and southwest while formulating the strategy of Tubo.
In addition, Li Bao realized that now that he had left Chang'an City, everything now was no longer for survival, but for how to lead his Weizhou Group to live better.
Now that he has a set of his own team, the strategic goal of the Weizhou Group should be changed to the purpose of fighting for hegemony, which Li Bao finally established after thinking about it for a long time.
If Li Bao did not establish this goal at this time, then he would lose his attraction to the elites of this era such as Jingxiang Wei Zhuang and the people under the rule of Weizhou, the ancients were not fools, they were not only a place to live in the troubled times, they also had greater ambitions.
This change is also the change of Li Bao's mentality after so many years of entanglement, and it is also the sublimation of his mentality. His proposal was unanimously supported by the civil and military forces of Weizhou. Now that they have the ambition to dominate the world, the civil and military officials in the Weizhou clique are more motivated, so they are more pragmatic and practical in their actions and speeches.
As a person in the future, Li Bao is well aware of the development of history, so he guides the future trend and trend for the high-level civil and military leaders of Weizhou, and warns his subordinates where there are forbidden areas and opportunities.
Because the Central Plains will usher in a crazy and long conquest war in the near future, the land of the Central Plains will be thousands of miles away, and the people of the Central Plains will also flee to the south in a big way.
Li Bao particularly emphasized that Weizhou is located on the barren border, although the land is vast but the people are happy, so he pointed out that Weizhou should take advantage of the Central Plains War to absorb more people who originally planned to flee to the south, so that in the future, when the population under their command is larger, they can develop the northwest and southwest regions.
In addition, Weizhou only occupies a favorable area but does not have much fertile land, which is not suitable as a base for hegemony, so Li Bao asked the high-level civil and military officials present to discuss how it would be more appropriate to place the new base for hegemony there.
In ancient times, the social productivity was very low and "the people took food as the sky", so agriculture was still the key to the success or failure of the hegemony. With the current geographical location of Weizhou, Shuzhong is the most ideal base for hegemony, but the current emperor and court of the Tang Dynasty are in Shuzhong, and it is impossible for Weizhou at this stage to seize Shuzhong, so the base can only choose another place.
There were many civil and military discussions in Weizhou, but none of them were in line with Li Bao's wishes, so he sent the officials back to think about it again and discuss it again the next day.
After the officials left, Li Bao opened the map he had drawn and looked at it, and now the closest provincial capital to Weizhou is Xining, but Qinghai Province in later generations is not a rich place, so even if it is captured, it will not help.
Lanzhou is also okay, but at this time, Lanzhou is still in the hands of the Guiyi Army, and Li Bao has a relationship with Zhang Yichao, so Weizhou can't tear his face to capture Lanzhou City.
Now that the Central Plains melee has not yet been launched, there is no opportunity to fish in troubled waters in Weizhou, so the states and counties in Datang are not easy to attack.
However, there have been signs of chaos in the Central Plains, in March, Zheng Jin was defeated by the Shang Rang army, and the Shuzhong court issued an order to reward the army and promoted Zheng Zheng to Situ, so Zheng Situ was ready to lead the allied troops Chen Bing again with the power of victory, and the Qingshui Town on the other side of the Weishui River watched the Tongzhou City on the other side of the Weishui.
The puppet Qi court in Chang'an City was in an uproar, and the frightened Huang Chao listened to Shang Rang and Meng Kai's suggestion and sent Zhu Wen to Tongzhou to the west of Chang'an as the defense envoy of Tongzhou and sent heavy troops to guard against Zheng Jin's attack.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Bao decided that since there was no suitable new base for the time being, Weizhou could only first defeat the nearest Tubo territory, and once the Central Plains was in turmoil, Li Bao would command Weizhou to take down all the cities on the northwest border near Hexi.
Li Bao's strategic intentions in doing so are mainly two, one is that Shuzhong will not be able to capture for a while and a half, so as a base for Li Bao to dominate the troubled times, he can only choose the nearest plain under Helan Mountain.
Later generations often said that "the Yellow River is harmful, only one set of riches" The plain under Helan Mountain is what later generations called the "Hetao Plain", where the land is fertile, it is a plain formed by the alluvial sediment of the Yellow River. Nowadays it is called Toyoshu Tanda. As long as we occupy it and vigorously develop agriculture, we can ensure that the Weizhou Group has the foundation to dominate the world.
The second is that when Li Bao was in his later years, he also knew about Zhang Yichao and the Guiyi Army, and through Zhang Yichao, he knew that the undercurrent within the Guiyi Army was always surging, so he had always kept his promise to Zhang Yichao in his heart, and he must keep the Guiyi Army and protect Hexi.
In the original history, the Suo Li of the Guiyi Army has always been dissatisfied with Zhang's control of the Guiyi Army, so in 890 A.D., thirteen years after Zhang Yichao's death, Shazhou Assassin Shi Suoxun staged a coup d'Γ©tat and killed Zhang Huaishen, the deputy ambassador of the Guiyi Army, and established himself as the Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army and was quickly recognized by the Zhaozong court.
Soon after, the Li clan united with the big clans in Shazhou City to launch a coup d'Γ©tat again, killed Suo Xun's family, and then supported the descendants of the Zhang family as puppets to master the Guiyi Army, and finally Zhang Yichao's grandson Zhang Chengfeng finally regained the military power of the Guiyi Army, but the Guiyi Army in the west of the Weizhen River inevitably weakened after several civil strife, and finally became a small regime that only occupied one place in Shazhou.
Thinking of this, Li Bao was indignant in his heart, hammered it on the table with one hand, and swore in his heart that in his lifetime, he would not only protect the Guiyi Army and Hexi, but also protect the Tang Dynasty and the thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty, but also let the Tang Dynasty once again shock the Quartet and all countries to come to the court.
Now that he had made up his mind, Li Bao immediately wrote down all the strategies he thought of. Preparing for tomorrow's meeting, he immersed himself in writing materials, and the door to the study was opened at some point.
Zhang Hui slowly came to Li Bao's case with a cup of milk tea, this cup of tea was brought by the servant, Zhang Hui saw the rare opportunity and immediately took it, and invited himself to serve tea for the king, so the servant retreated.
Zhang Hui put down the teacup, and then said softly: "King, please drink tea!" β
Li Bao didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice: "Let it go." β
Zhang Hui looked left and right, and then said softly again: "The king is so busy every day, take a break, don't be tired of the jade body." With that, Zhang Hui stepped forward and held the pen in Li Bao's hand.
Li Bao's thoughts were surging at this time, and he wanted to be angry, but this slave who delivered tea was so bold, and when he was about to reprimand this bold slave, he suddenly asked A fragrance, this fragrance is the fragrance of roses, and it is the smell of rose perfume produced in Weizhou workshop.
The anger in his heart disappeared immediately, and the people who could use this perfume must be the people in his house, so Li Bao didn't want to immediately put down the pen in his hand and save the delicate body in front of him.
Zhang Hui was caught off guard by Li Bao, his center of gravity was unstable, and he screamed and fell on Li Bao all of a sudden. Li Bao felt a heavy pressure hit him, and he immediately used his feet to hold the woman's waist tightly with both hands, so thin!
Zhang Hui saw that her upper body was pressed on Li Bao's back, but her waist was tightly protected by Li Bao, and she couldn't help but feel a surprise in her heart, the opportunity has come!
Zhang Hui groaned lightly, "The king forgives the slave family and didn't stand firm, and overwhelmed the king, the king is fine!" β
Li Bao intuitively felt that the heavy two meat balls on his shoulders and back were very useful, he turned it up again, and then slowly helped Zhang Hui up, raised his head, and looked at it carefully.
Zhang Hui was wearing a purple cotton skirt on her upper body, and a Luo skirt of the same color on her lower body, a pair of small feet looming in the skirt, plus a deliberately low-cut furrow looming, and the round buttocks under the slender waist made Li Bao's heart even hotter. There was a mature breath all over his body, and Li Bao's heart shook when he saw it.
He smiled at Zhang Hui and said, "Why did Mrs. Zhang come to bring me tea, what about those slaves?" β
Zhang Hui's secretary is in the wing next to Li Bao's study, she will stare at Li Bao after she finishes the work in her hand, after all, she knows that there is no master mother in Jiwang's mansion now, and if she wants to win a position in Jiwang's mansion, she must leave an impression on Li Bao, and now there is Yun Fang in addition to her in the secretary's prison, although Yunfang is silent, but she can see that Li Bao is very attentive to Yunfang, and Zhang Hui, who has a deep sense of crisis, is even more anxious.
Today, I finally found this opportunity to contact Li Bao alone, how could Zhang Hui let this opportunity run away. So she immediately said coquettishly: "The slave family saw that the king had a lot of opportunities, and he worked very hard, and the slave family, as the king's concubine, was waiting for the king, but the slave family was in the secretary's prison, so he naturally came to serve the king while he was not alive." β
When she said it, she deliberately accentuated the word concubine, hoping that Li Bao would receive her hints.
Li Bao listened to Zhang Hui's words, where he still didn't know what this beautiful woman meant, but he now has a manuscript to rush, so he can't be distracted now, in desperation, Li Bao put away his thoughts, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said to Zhang Hui: "Mrs. Zhang has a heart, I just drank the tea you sent." Okay, I've got some things to do here, so you can get out first. β
When Zhang Hui heard this, her heart became anxious, and she couldn't help but cry: "Why is the king so angry with the slave family, why are the other sisters in the palace all pampered, but the slave family is pushed away by the king, how should the slave family deal with themselves?" β
After Zhang Hui finished speaking, he immediately stood in front of Li Bao's table and sobbed lowly, Li Bao listened to Zhang Hui's cry, and then muttered a little in his heart, I can't see that this virtuous Empress Zhang, who has left a name in history, is such an active person, brother, this dick is really lucky, haha.
Anyway, since Queen Zhang is so active, the handsome guy should not reject people thousands of miles away, so he said to Zhang Hui: "Okay, don't cry, come to me, this document is very important, I'll write it, how about it?" β
When Zhang Hui heard this, he immediately stopped crying, raised his head, smiled, and then said softly: "Thank you, the king, the slave family is here!" β
