Yueyang Wang Xiao Jing did not waste his time during this time, in addition to properly solving the finishing problems after clearing the Jingzhao Du clan, he also won over Qixing County Taishou Xigu by the way.

There are always pros and cons to what people choose to make. King Yueyang's sudden attack on the Jingzhao Du clan can be described as decisive and cruel, no matter how much he hides it, it will inevitably make people think of speculation. When it comes to the safety of one's own life, there is naturally no need for conclusive evidence to convict.

With the demise of this Du clan, other powerful clans in Xiangyang have also reined in a lot, and they dare not directly contradict and anger the King of Yueyang, and of course they will no longer cooperate with him, many wealthy clans simply stay in their respective suburbs or switch to other places, and important clansmen do not even dare to settle in Xiangyang City.

However, this did not have much impact on King Yueyang, after all, these wealthy families had an arrogant attitude before. Before, it was despise, but now it is frightened, but the result is always the same, that is, unwilling to cooperate.

The great Xiangyang is not something that can be said by the three or five wealthy sects, and for most of the people of Xiangyang, the prestige of King Yueyang can be regarded as established.

In the past, there was an enemy on the north bank of the Han River, and now it has recovered the two counties upstream, no matter what the process is, the results are always exciting. It seems that as long as King Yueyang is in charge, even if there are enemies to disturb him, it will not be a big trouble.

Similarly, some small and medium-sized wealthy clans who were suppressed by the big clans in the realm before and couldn't raise their heads didn't have the ability to leave their hometowns and create a situation, so they all attached themselves to King Yueyang.

This includes the stable Xi clan where Xigu is located in Qixing County, with the Xi clan's rumors, King Yueyang does not want to seize the territory guarded by Xi Gu, just cooperation and trade, Xi Gu naturally has no need to refuse.

There is a strong business atmosphere in Nanliang, whether it is a dignitary or a common person, they all have the hobby and tradition of selling for profit. Although the king of Yueyang is the respect of the king of the sect, Xi Gu is a feudal official, and when it comes to cooperation and trade, it is also a good match.

Li Tai was also very happy to learn of this situation, and recently he also had an in-depth understanding of the geography and power distribution of the Hanshui Basin, and he had a clearer idea of what goals needed to be achieved.

For Li Tai, he needed to bring the commercial goods from Longyou to Guanzhong, and then transport them to Hanshui through the Meridian Road and other roads in Guanzhong, and then go straight down the Hanshui River to Xiangyang, where they were distributed to the vast Jianghan region.

In this way, the various personnel arrangements he made in various parties were not isolated existences, and he was able to bypass the Guanzhong region, which was the core of the hegemony's rule, and gather in the Nanyang Basin.

To achieve this, he didn't need to fully control the entire Hanshui River Basin, including Hanzhong, he just needed to make sure that he could control the outlet of the Meridian Road on the southern side of the Qinling Mountains.

During the Three Kingdoms period, this area had a regional concept called Dongsanjun, that is, the three counties in the east of Handong, namely Xicheng, Shangyong, and Fangling. These three counties are the east gate of Hanzhong and the west window of Jingxiang, and you can travel freely from east to west if you have to embrace this realm.

Li Tai wants to obtain the Hanshui trade road, Shangyong and Fangling are redundant, and it is better to get them, but these two places are not related to success or failure, the most important thing is Xicheng.

Xicheng was renamed Weixing County during the Cao Wei period, and later dynasties analyzed Weixing County as Qixing County in the east and Ankang County in the west. In other words, as long as Ankang County is taken again, then this Longyou-Guanzhong-Hanshui-Jingxiang line of trade will be opened.

But it is precisely this Ankang Taishou Li Qianzhe who is a more tricky existence.

Ankang County was subordinate to Liangzhou, and Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, had no right to govern it. Moreover, this Li Qianzhe clan is powerful, and it is the most powerful local force in its territory, and the whole clan has been loyal to the Southern Dynasty for generations, and may not be willing to have any interests with Li Tai, the general of the Western Dynasty.

Of course, this latter point is just King Yueyang's own worries, this guy himself is already a backbone, and he is quite confident in the appeal of the Southern Liang Law System. But Li Tai knew that Li Qianzhe not only took refuge in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasty later, but also did a very energetic job, and there would definitely be no situation where he was unwilling to secretly communicate with the Western Dynasty.

But after all, this is a matter of the future, at that time there was a great chaos in Southern Liang, and the Western Wei army entered Hanzhong again, and Li Qianzhe gathered the crowd to defend himself and surrendered to the Western Wei after the defeat, and now there is naturally no this

possibly.

So if you want to pull Li Qianzhe onto this thief ship, you still have to think seriously about what to do.

Of course, it is not possible to use strong, if Xiao Jing dares to send troops along the Han River, I am afraid that before he arrives in Ankang County, the back road Xiangyang Laochao will have to be copied by Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong in Jiangling. Moreover, the terrain is steep and the people are stubborn, and it is by no means a place that can be easily conquered.

There is also a slim chance of sending messengers to send letters to communicate, and King Yueyang and Li Qianzhe are not familiar with each other at all, and it is taboo to communicate with each other in a shallow manner. It was originally a meeting in Pingshui, and suddenly they were going to pull each other to eat a big tea and dinner, but no one would agree. If it's shallow, it won't help, and if it's deep, it will inevitably startle the snake, and the scale is really not easy to grasp.

Li Tai didn't have any good ideas about this, so he seriously asked Cai Dabao about Li Qianzhe and his affairs, hoping to find some controllable use from it.

Cai Dabao didn't agree with King Yueyang and Li Tai at first, but as King Yueyang got on the road, he knew in his heart that he couldn't stop if he wanted to. For example, although the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government have covered up the current crisis, the hidden dangers still exist, and they can only seize the time to strengthen themselves.

So in the face of Li Tai's inquiry, he didn't dare to hide anything, and replied seriously: "Li Qianzhe is a clever and resourceful person, with good knowledge, his family background is rich, his temperament is still luxurious, and because of his abundant land, he can support himself. He had no fixed residence, so he built mansions and mansions on both sides of the Han River, and each placed concubines and servants, and his children adopted them......

The more Li Tai listened, the more he felt that it was not a taste, and a voice kept ringing in his head, this must be done to him!

Hearing Cai Dabao's introduction, he remembered that Ankang in southern Shaanxi was a famous gold mining area, and was even named Jinzhou for a time. This Li Qianzhe is a genuine man with a mine at home, a lot of wealth, and he is still so high-profile, if he doesn't mess with him, it's really unwilling!

"Hearing his words, he doesn't seem to be a cautious person. Cai Senjun thinks that he can send brave men who are good at fighting to trap and arrest them on the border, and then send them back to the country after agreeing on the rules?"

Li Tai suppressed the resentment in his heart, and after thinking about it seriously, he said to Cai Dabao again, since it is not good to come hard, and it is not good to grasp the scale if it is soft, it is better to use both soft and hard, and directly kidnap people and then coerce and lure.

[In view of the general environment,

"Is this—is this somewhat, some rashness? If the trap fails, they will become enemies with each other, and they are afraid that the matter will leak out, and they will be even more worried. What's more, if they are indecent, they will be full of resentment, how can they conspire to work together? Even if you compromise for a while, I'm afraid that after you return, you will have a repeat heart!"

Cai Dabao was taken aback by Li Tai's whimsy, and after a little thought, he replied that he was not optimistic about Li Tai's strategy.

Li Tai also knew that this idea was a bit unreliable, this Li Qianzhe's deeds and deeds were so hateful, if he didn't defend his own safety, he would have died many times, and it would be easy to successfully kidnap people in his lair.

But what else can you do to get a chance to meet the other person face-to-face and convince them?

Li Tai knew what Li Qianzhe and his deeds were after the Hou Jing Rebellion, and understood that there was no possibility for this kind of Fangyu Hao Chief to swear allegiance to the Southern Dynasty, and he always put his own rights and interests first.

Therefore, as long as the two sides can meet and communicate, Li Tai has a great chance of convincing others to join his great cause, but the biggest problem now is how to meet each other.

"Actually, in fact, the king of my family also has a plan for this, if Governor Li can make another batch of frosted sugar strange things shown before to Li Qianzhe, he must be able to lure him out of the nest and come east to inquire about it......

Cai Dabao saw Li Tai's brows furrowed, so he spoke cautiously and tentatively.

When Li Tai heard this, he was happy in his heart, and understood that this was King Yueyang's desire to test his own reality and try to grasp a greater initiative in cooperation, after all, this was the most critical reason for his people to embark on this path.

After a short period of silence, he said, "There is indeed some frosting left over from the town that the king has with him, and he can do so at any time if the king needs it

Give it again. But if you want to lure Li Qianzhe to come to the east with this, I don't think it's necessary.

To conspire with this sect of thieves and gangsters, although it is necessary to negotiate for profit, it is also necessary to show authority. If they still don't know reverence and are self-assured, they won't be able to last long! If King Yueyang has concerns and is inconvenient to act, I can send someone to do it for him."

Originally, he planned to give up this unreliable plan, but after understanding what King Yue Yang meant, he insisted again, anyway, if you offend people, you will offend, what am I afraid of? It's a big deal to break up in two, give up halfway to see who loses the most and who is more unwilling? Of course it's all me, but I can take it!

When Cai Dabao heard Li Tai insist on this, he also looked embarrassed, and only said that he needed to discuss with the king after returning.

For this little carrier pigeon that shuttles between the two places, or a good friend of his own Lao Tzu, Li Tai is not embarrassed, but still sends it out of the country, and by the way, he sent a bucket of white sugar, proving that he definitely has the ability to supply continuously.

After Cai Dabao returned to Xiangyang, he first presented the frost candy to the king, and then conveyed Li Tai's meaning.

After listening to this, King Yueyang muttered, and after a while, he sighed with emotion: "Li Boshan's plans may not all be lawful and legal, but it is indeed reasonable to think about it carefully. Li Qianzhe's nest is upstream, and he is often invincible in his realm, if he can't curb his arrogance, how can he force him to bow his head? I have thousands of customers, and I can't be all roosters and dogs, so I can catch them on the spot!"
