"Liang Jianfang?" Guo Ye really hadn't heard of this name, so he hesitated: "Then what if the two of us disagree?" Originally, it was a little difficult to quell the rebellion in Sanzhou with Jiannan Dao, but you were better and directly divided seventy percent of the troops. I can't do this job! ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "You can't say that. There are 43 states in Jiannan Province, although 13 states only account for 30%. But in order to guard against the rebels, most of the troops in Shu have been transferred into these thirteen states. Therefore, the strength of your commander is actually seventy percent of the entire Shu. ”

"So, are you putting me in charge of all the civil affairs of Shu and seventy percent of the troops?"

"Not bad. Liang Jianfang's soldiers and horses are mainly stationed at passes such as Jianmen Pass, in case the situation is out of control after you lose the battle. So, under normal circumstances, the two of you don't have a disagreement. ”

When Guo Ye heard this, he understood the true meaning of His Majesty Li Er. Liang Jianfang's troops are not cooperating with themselves, but guarding themselves!

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.

The road to the outside world in Shuzhong has too many passes that cannot be opened by one husband.

If someone occupies Shu as the king, as long as the IQ is normal, the Central Plains Dynasty will be helpless against him.

Therefore, the military and political power of this place, His Majesty Li Er cannot completely hand it over to himself no matter what, and he can't trust it anymore.

Sending Liang Jianfang to control the pass is a conspiracy.

With such a small number of troops, it can only be used to guard the pass. If you don't have a rebellion, of course you don't need these soldiers. If there is a rebellion, the army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion will drive straight through these passes.

In other words, this Liang Jianfang is ostensibly defending against the rebels, but in fact he is guarding against himself. If you don't agree, it will be obvious that you have ulterior motives.

So, Guo Ye knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

"Good, good! Guo Aiqing, you have solved a big problem for me. His Majesty Li Er said happily: "If you are willing to go to Jiannan Dao, then everyone will have no disputes, and everyone will be happy!" ”

……

After talking about other topics, this small meeting will be over, and the ministers will retire. However, Guo Ye was left behind by His Majesty Li Er.

"This time to Jiannan Road, does Guo Aiqing have any ideas?"

Guo Ye said: "In a hurry, Weichen has no ideas. Only after the field visit can we act on the opportunity. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't have an idea, I have a few things to explain to you before I leave."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I sent you to Shuzhong this time, on the one hand, because something big happened there, and on the other hand, it was also to let you avoid the limelight. So the counterinsurgency thing, you don't have to rush, do it slowly. As long as the situation does not deteriorate, the court will not rush you. ”

Guo Ye said: "Weichen understands. Neither the Shu people nor the wingmen are good at fighting. So, 100,000 people, it sounds amazing, but it's actually nothing. This trip is still more civil than military. ”

His Majesty Li Er stood up and said, "In addition to the wingmen in Shu, I have one more thing to give you to do. The stakes are very high, and after doing a good job, I will be rewarded! ”

"What's the matter?"

"You have another task in Jiannan Dao this time, that is, to take Erhai Lake and pass through Tianzhu!"

"Take Erhai Tongtianzhu?"

His Majesty Li Er explained: "From Chang'an to Tianzhu, it is generally through Dunhuang and the Green Mountains, and this road is very difficult to walk. In fact, there is an ancient road leading to Tianzhu, that is, to reach Tianzhu through the West Erhai Sea through Annan Jiaozhi and other countries. ”

Guo Ye asked, "This road is not open now?" ”

"Yes, in recent decades, the West Erhai area has been occupied by the white barbarians, and the roads are not quiet, and no one dares to take this trade route. Between the wingmen and the white barbarians, there have been hundreds of wars and uncertainties, which can be described as a feud. In fact, the bureaucrats entered Shu, which was forced by the white barbarians. ”

"What do you mean ......"

"After you pacified the bureaucrats, you calmed down the white barbarians in one go!"

Guo Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Your old man is really welcome. The peacekeepers destroy the white barbarians, attack the city as the bottom, and attack the heart as the top. This has to work slowly, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Chang'an for ten years. ”

"That's not the case, two or three years later, the sailors are ready, and you lead the troops to capture Fusang. When Aiqing returns victoriously, I will have to meet you again, right? Therefore, in less than ten years, within five years, you will definitely have to go back to Chang'an once. ”

"Isn't it...... Your Majesty, we're about the same. There are so many good ministers and fierce generals in the Tang Dynasty, you can't let me do this job alone, right? ”

"It's called the ability to work hard. Only you know where the gold and silver mountains of Fusang are, who will I send if I don't send you? Or is it ...... Would you like to make the location of those treasure mountains public? ”

Guo Ye said helplessly: "Uh...... Okay, then let's go by ourselves. ”

"That's pretty much it." His Majesty Li Er sighed and explained: "Guo Aiqing, don't think that I let you go out and exile together, it's really that you, the King of Qin, are too dazzling. I sent you out, and this is also the way to protect the heroes. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to explain, Weichen understands. If it weren't for the last time there was a Li Junxian top tank, Weichen would probably die without a place to be buried. Therefore, the matter of going out is what Weichen wants, and he does not dare to ask you. There will be no resentment over this. ”

……

……

When he returned home, Guo Ye hurriedly explained the matter to his wife and concubine.

Chai Xiuxiu was quite happy after hearing this, and said: "This is really trying to doze off and touch the pillow, let's go!" Let's go! Let's go to Erhai Lake as a family. I heard that it is the south of Caiyun, and the scenery is beautiful. What a great place to build a foundation! ”

Guo Yedao: "I'm afraid it won't work, everyone else can go, but you can't go." ”

"Why?"

"Isn't that obvious? I am in command of heavy troops, and you play the role of a hostage in Chang'an. If our whole family leaves, isn't this clearly telling the court that I have two hearts? ”

"What can I do?"

"I'm going to Shuzhong this time, don't follow any of you. After the last two or three years, I have really managed my power as a solid foundation. Then secretly take Feng Yi Zhenniang and them over. ”

Chai Xiuxiu said: "What about me? ”

Guo Ye said embarrassedly: "If you want to follow, you can only fake your death." You're such a big county lord, you can't disappear secretly, right? ”

"Fake death?" Chai Xiuxiu hesitated a little and said, "It has to be like this?" ”

"It's okay if you don't fake your death. After a few years, feudal all over the world, we will also go to a piece of land to be the overlord of the soil, and then you can leave openly. ”

"So, you don't plan to build a country in Erhai?"

"If you have a choice, it's better to build a country overseas. You don't look at that place in the middle of nowhere, but it's actually a place of four wars. I am afraid that it is not a good idea to establish a country here. ”

The so-called Erhai region actually refers to Yunnan.

Guo Ye understands that if he hadn't intervened in history, there would have been Nanzhao first, and then Dali. In the end, it was destroyed by the Mongols and became part of China. There is a change of dynasty almost every 200 years. Although the national honor is not short, it is by no means long.

The establishment of a country here is just a helpless choice, if possible, he still hopes to lead some people to the Americas to explore. Regardless of whether future generations can be kings or not, at least the population pressure here is much less. There is no problem with having enough food and clothing.

In addition, this can be regarded as opening up a living space for the Han people, which can be called immeasurable.

However, there is no need to explain these reasons clearly to Chai Xiuxiu.

Chai Xiuxiu said: "Since you are bent on building a country overseas, then I will stick to Chang'an alone for a few years, and there is no need to fake my death." However, are you sure that if you go to Jiannan Road alone, you don't need to be accompanied by someone? For example, Sister Feng Yi? ”

Yang Fengyi said: "If he wants me to go, I won't go." The child is still young and can't withstand the long journey. ”

Guo Ye said: "No, no. I've been in the army mainly for the past two years, so what's the matter with bringing my female dependents into the barracks? ”

"Hmph, it's as if you can really hold back." Chai Xiuxiu sneered: "You have to be more leisurely in the past two years, don't add a few sisters to us." ”

"Of course not."

"I hope you're keeping your word."

Guo Ye agreed very well, but after waiting for a few days, he found that he had a tendency to break his word and gain weight.

Just before leaving, Lei Shuyao came to visit.

The beauty's eyes fluttered, and she said: "King Qin Chitose, before going to Jiannan Dao, don't forget to bring me with you!" ”
