Wang Zhongsi's tactics were very simple, that is, relying on the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, he forced the dog Rong and Nanzhao to be defeated without a fight.

Don't say that Nanzhao is tied to Nanzhao and Dog Rong together, and then multiplied by ten, there is still a considerable gap between its national strength and Datang. Maybe they can gather a number of troops equal to or even more than Datang for a while, but they can't use this force to fight for a long time, otherwise the production and life of the soldiers will collapse.

Hearing him say this, Li Bai suddenly admired in his heart, he was worthy of being a famous general who made the Hu people frightened, during the Warring States Period, Li Mu was a Huns, and it was probably such a strategy.

In this way, it will only take three or five years, Nanzhao's national strength will be exhausted, rebellions will break out in the country, and the generals under Ge Luofeng can't wait to dedicate his head.

He looked at Ye Chang's expression, and Ye Chang nodded, expressing his approval of this.

"If you can punish Luo Feng, can Yunnan be safe?" Ye Chang asked again.

"I can be your adviser to the military strategy, and among the princes in the world, how can there be anyone who is better than you?" Wang Zhongsi said with a smile: "I have read your two eloquent essays "On Border Policies" and "The Wealth of Nations" for a long time, and the strategy of the talent is also obtained from these two articles, so I think you should have a plan in your heart. ”

Li Bai's heart moved again, he liked Huazhang's rhetoric, Ye Chang's "Bian Ce" and "Guofu", he had also bought them, but the two articles were plain, he didn't see it very much, and the content involved a lot of business techniques, which was not what Li Bai liked. Therefore, he hastily looked through it, looked at the general outline, and did not investigate the details. Now listening to Wang Zhongsi's meaning, he highly respects Ye Chang's two articles, which makes Li Bai secretly determined to take time out to carefully figure out these two articles.

"Don't hide it from the prince, before I came here, I did have a rough strategy, and I got the prince's guidance to prove it, and now I am full of confidence." Ye Changdao.

"The only thing to worry about is not at the border, but in the court." Wang Zhongsi stared at Ye Chang for a long time, and then said leisurely.

He is a very smart person, knowing that Ye Chang is a person that Li Linfu relies on, although he does not know about Ye and Li's marriage, he also understands that Ye Chang was sent to Jiannan at this time, there must be something wrong with the court, and Li Linfu had to do it.

If this is the case, what Ye Chang needs to worry about the most is indeed not Nanzhao, but the possible changes in the DPRK and China.

Ye Chang smiled and did not answer. If the contradiction between Li Linfu and Yang Zhao had not broken out, he would have been sent to Jiannan to clean up Nanzhao, but he would have worries, now, Li Linfu wished that he could contain Yang Zhao here, and Yang Zhao wished that he could win so that he could return to Chang'an earlier, and both sides would be convenient with him.

"Today, I have the guidance of the prince, and I will comfort my life, and he should come to pay homage to him in the future, and ask the prince to give him advice." When the two of them said this, what should be said and what should be revealed has been expressed, Ye Chang got up and said: "Prince, the younger generation has a word, and please don't blame the prince for being shallow and profound." ”

"Say."

"Wang Cheng is in the prime of life, why did he destroy his own body? When the country is eventful, the prince is hidden in the bamboo forest and spring fields, more than ten years, less than three or five years, and there will be a time to invite the prince to go out of the mountain to serve the country. For the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world, the princes should cherish this body. ”

When Ye Chang said this, that Mr. Cai happened to enter and couldn't help but be moved.

Ye Chang observed well, Wang Zhonghei was full of fear in the past year, and he didn't regret it, and even now he is sick and sick, if he can't recuperate, he is afraid that he will not live long.

But even if a young man like Wang Zhongsi takes on a big responsibility, is an official to the moderation of the envoy, and controls nearly one-third of the Tang Dynasty's troops, but now he is abandoned in the poor mountains and bad waters, how can he be relieved?

The thing that made Wang Zhonghei the most sad, Mr. Cai can also guess one point, is the attitude of the crown prince Li Heng. Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming can be said to have died for the crown prince, and what the prince did was to rush to clear himself, and he couldn't wait to send Wei Jian's sister Concubine Wei out for Li Longji to be slaughtered.

This kind of behavior is really nothing to be responsible for, Mr. Cai can understand the compulsion of the crown prince Li Heng, but he will also recognize the nature of this person's meanness and unkindness. Even Mr. Cai is like this, what about Wang Zhonghe?

He really hoped that Ye Chang could move Wang Zhonghe.

But Wang Zhongsi just smiled: "I'm old, my body is decayed, and I can't use it." Datang Sheji and the people, with Ambassador Ye on your shoulders, why do you need me to treat the guilty person? ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Ye Chang secretly said that it was a pity, but he didn't persuade him much, and bowed again: "If the prince has any orders, he will do everything he can."

Wang Zhongsi heard Ye Chang's words, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said to Mr. Cai: "Zhihua, you have summoned the sheep." ”

After a while, the bearded man came in and glared at Ye Chang angrily. Wang Zhongsi said: "Yang'er, you kneel down to Ambassador Ye"

Wang Yang'er was taken aback: "What? ”

"Kneel down and prostrate," Wang Zhongji shouted.

Wang Yang'er could only kneel, still a little unconvinced, Ye Chang did not help him, but looked at Wang Zhonghe: "What does the prince mean?" ”

"The sheep is rude and reckless, I will ask Ambassador Ye in the future, please take Ambassador Ye as his own soldier, allow him to serve in front of the army, and make some merits to change his background." Wang Zhongsi said.

"Sheep warrior, I can't ask for it in my heart, but it depends on his own will." Ye Chang smiled: "The prince governs the army, when he knows that military law is ruthless, if he is not convinced, I am afraid that he will be cut down by me first before he has made meritorious service." ”

"Yang'er, in the future, if you follow Ambassador Ye, you will follow me just like you." Wang Zhongji stepped forward and patted Wang Yang'er lightly on the shoulder: "I have made meritorious service and become a big official, so I can see the emperor to intercede for me." ”

Wang Yang'er was originally full of reluctance, but when she heard the latter sentence, she suddenly changed her expression: "Okay, okay, I will definitely listen to this traitor...... Ah no, Ambassador Ye's words, make meritorious service earlier"

He is loyal and reckless, Ye Chang actually likes this very much, so Ye Chang smiled: "Since this is the case, I will accept him - above the military formation, there are no eyes for swords and guns, you have to be prepared." ”

"All these wine bags and rice bags around you have been killed, and I will be fine, master," Wang Yang'er jumped up and said.

At this time, Ye Chang noticed that this guy seemed to be kneeling, but in fact his knees did not touch the ground, but squatted there, obviously still unconvinced, but he was forced to make this gesture by Wang Zhonghe's order. Ye Chang is not annoyed, this guy is a rectum, Ye Chang doesn't believe it, with his own means, he can't even accept such a fool.

Wang Zhongsi gave his hand to Mr. Cai again: "Yang'er is reckless, and I am quite worried when I am alone, so I also ask Zhihua to follow Ambassador Ye so that you can take care of it at any time." ”

That Mr. Cai smiled bitterly and said: "The prince takes care of the future of the two of us, how can I not know what to do, but if I leave, the prince will be ...... by his side."

"There are still a lot of people around me who are driven by me, and these big places have nothing to do, and you are still afraid that I will not be able to keep busy?"

Hearing him say this, Mr. Cai could only agree, then turned to Ye Chang and bowed: "A certain Cai Ming, the word Zhihua, is willing to work for Ambassador Ye"

"I came this time, and there was a shortage of competent people around me, and it was great to have Mr. Cai to help." Ye Chang said with a smile.

Although as early as eight years ago, he cultivated talents through the way of clan studies, but those people, including Chunming, are now working at the grassroots level in Liaodong, half serving as the chief officer at the grassroots level, and half responsible for the education of children in Liaodong. An experienced scribe like Cai Ming, as long as he sincerely takes refuge, Ye Chang is still welcome.

But when Cai Ming came to him, he was afraid that his mind was still towards Wang Zhonghei, so he could use it, but he couldn't use it with confidence

"So please leave it to Ambassador Ye...... It is not suitable to stay in a snail's house, Ambassador Ye, please take care of yourself. ”

After Wang Zhongsi finished speaking, he raised his hand to send off the guests, Ye Chang did not stay, went straight out, and when he arrived outside the door, he made an appointment with Cai Ming and Wang Yanger to meet in Rongzhou, and then left with everyone.

Li Bai followed behind him and glanced back at the Yin Xianzhuang, he couldn't hide his words, tilted his head and asked Ye Chang: "Eleven Lang, why don't you ask the prince to go out of the mountain to help?" The Son of Heaven allows you to mobilize the officials of Jiannan, and you should have the right to use Wang Zhonghei. ”

"If you use Wang Zhonghei, this battle will be lost."

"Is the prince such a person?"

"The prince is not such a person, but my father-in-law, as well as Doctor Yang in Chengdu, they are such people. If they learn that I have used Wang Zhonghe, the two of them are afraid that they will join forces first and bury me on the edge of the water. ”

Li Bai was terrified when he said this, he thought for a while, and finally understood, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, yes, Li Xianggong will not allow Wang Zhonghei to rise up no matter what, and Yang Zhao sees that he can take over Li Xianggong's phase, how can he wish to have a side and more than a character like Wang Zhonghe?" ”

"And that's not all." Ye Chang hesitated slightly, and saw that the left and right were his own people, so he said: "Although the Son of Heaven is old, he can't go to the Prince, Wang Zhonghei and the Prince have too close a relationship, and the Son of Heaven will be suspicious." Li Xiang and Yang Zhao don't want to see the crown prince ascend the throne."

Li Bai shook suddenly, this involves the secret affairs of the palace and the high-level fight, how can it be nonsense, he looked at Ye Chang, and the helplessness on Ye Chang's face made him sigh.

"Eleven Lang, with these people as colleagues, I think you are very tired. If the prince is on the inside, you are outside."

"Don't think about it, the prince is more than enough to preside over an army, but if he sits in the center, he is far worse than Jiayue."

"Ling Yue's reputation is not very good, the year before last he reprimanded Du Fu and others, and congratulated the Son of Heaven, saying that he was a wild and virtuous man......

"There is no contradiction between being jealous and jealous of being able to be a good official, and in the past, Yao and Song were the prime ministers, and there were few things that could not be framed." Ye Chang disagreed: "Taibai, in terms of articles and poetry, I am not your opponent if I am ten, but when it comes to governing the government, soothing the people, enriching the country and strengthening the army, you are not my opponent if you are ten, do you think it is not?" ”

Li Bai thought about it, and admitted it in his heart, but he was unconvinced: "That's when I didn't have the opportunity to show what I could, if I also had such an opportunity......"

"Taibai, you don't have a hard mouth, I'll go to Liaodong, where is the timing? I remember hearing people say that timing is only with those who are prepared. If you don't have this preparation, if you don't have this talent, where will there be any opportunity? Even if there is, I'm afraid it's like a horse guarding the street pavilion."

Ye Chang was really worried about Li Bai's character, which seemed to be a beating, but it was actually a reminder to pay attention to the weaknesses of his own character. Li Bai didn't think so at this time, just laughed it off, and then began to roar. The whistling sound cleared and vibrated the four fields, startling the birds to take off and flutter their wings away.

When he left Wang Zhonghei Zhuangzi, Ye Chang seemed very anxious, but when he arrived at Nengzhou Tuwei, he was not in a hurry. Outside the earthen enclosure, he set up camp and led the crowd around to enjoy it, looking very leisurely. When Li Bai saw this, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, could it be that he came to Nengzhou, not just to see Wang Zhonghe, but also to have other arrangements?

Sure enough, after staying in Nengzhou for two days, the person who answered them suddenly appeared again, and at the same time as him, there was also a group of barbarians.

Hearing the news of this group of barbarians, Ye Chang was overjoyed and immediately came out to greet him. Li Bai looked a little excited when he saw his expression, and felt even more strange in his heart, could this group of barbarians be some important person, and they should be so valued by Ye Chang?

He followed him out to meet him, and saw that the barbarians were half male and half female, but the leader was a woman.

This woman has a graceful figure, beautiful eyebrows, and although her skin is a little darker, she is still a beauty. Seeing her, Li Bai suddenly realized, and then looked at Ye Chang with some ambiguity.

It's just that Ye Chang didn't pay attention to him, but stared at the girl in front of him, and said with a smile: "I finally saw Yu Niang again." ”

"Ye Langjun, I haven't seen you for many years, you are the same as before, but I am already old." The barbarian girl smiled.

Her whole face glowed with brilliance when she smiled, and she was obviously very happy with Ye Chang's courtesy.

"If you're old, wouldn't I be able to walk anymore?" Ye Chang snorted, and then said directly: "What do you think of what I said in my letter?" ”

"Do you really want me to stand on my own?"

"Not only you, but also the original five edicts, anyone who can help the Tang Dynasty quell the chaos and destroy the enemy, can stand on their own. I am now ordered to conquest of non-ministers, and there is support from the court, and I will not allow anyone to perform."

Wei Niang is much more mature than when she was separated from Ye Chang in Luoyang, she looked at Ye Chang with suspicion in her eyes: "That's it?" Aren't you afraid of pouring down a Southern Edict and issuing the rest of the edicts? ”

"If you can destroy the Southern Zhao, the Tang Dynasty will naturally be able to destroy the rest of the edicts, and those who have the heart of disobedience will bring about their own destruction." Ye Changdao.

"I don't know what you do, what else do you have to do" Wan Niang said: "You Han people are the most treacherous and cunning"

In her words, there was not much hatred, but there was a little more resentment. Li Bai frowned, and the fire of curiosity in his heart burned: This barbarian girl in front of her, could it be that she and Ye Chang had a past?

He naturally didn't know that Ye Chang had used Huan Niang to obtain cotton.

"I promised you what I promised, but I did." Ye Chang said: "Even the things I didn't promise to do now have begun to do."

"Hmph, originally we sold our white cloth to Chengdu, Yizhou, in exchange for salt and ironware, but now the price of white cloth is low, isn't this your masterpiece?" Wan Niang snorted.

The sales of cotton cloth are now spreading, and there are also people selling them in Chengdu and Guangzhou. This was originally the industry of the Six Zhao Barbarians, but now it has suppressed Ye Chang's workshop so much that he can't raise his head.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point...... You come with me," Ye Chang waved his hand to her.

Only Huanniang followed Ye Chang to a gentle slope outside the camp tent, but Li Bai did not follow. Ye Chang pointed to a field in front of him: "How many crops are you in the meantime?" ”
