King Yueyang said that Li Tai didn't know about the personnel of his country, and he was a little taken for granted, although Li Tai didn't know too much about it, but he also knew a little about it.

Although as Hou Jing broke through the Yangtze River defense line and entered Jiankang in the south, all the political factions in Southern Liang were also destroyed, and all kinds of differences and contradictions that existed before were covered up by Hou Jing, a rebellious minister and thief, but before that, they were real.

Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu is already over eighty years old, and his crown prince Xiao Gang is also a middle-aged man in his forties, and has lived in the storage position for 16 or 7 years after his brother Prince Zhaoming.

Although Xiao Bodhisattva is old and full of love, he has not lost his vigilance against his son, and his children and grandchildren are divided into all parties and internal and external restraint is his forte. Xiao Gang, the princeling, naturally cannot exist as a political alliance, except for the fact that his successive officials in the East Palace have a clear subordinate to each other, and other personnel relations are covered up by literature and metaphysics.

Southern Liang culture and education flourished, and at the same time, Xuanfeng prevailed, even two Jin, the prince Xiao Gang, Xiangdong Wang Xiao Yi is one of the representatives.

The prince frequently explained "Lao" and "Zhuang" in the East Palace, and his son Xiao Daqi was still explaining "Laozi" before he was killed by Hou Jing. And Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, and later Emperor Yuan of Liang, even when the Western Wei army was besieging the city, still frequently talked about "Lao Tzu", and the hundred officials of Jiangling obeyed and listened.

If you don't know the political atmosphere of Nanliang, you will feel very strange when you see such a record, isn't this brain-dead? But in fact, this is one of the ways why their political group is formed, you see that they are talking about Lao Zhuang, but in fact, they are engaged in unified thinking and inspiring team building.

Just like Gao Huan and Yu Wentai, the military leaders of Beizhen, they have to gather the generals under their command to feast and drink and gamble every time they are in a big event, because these are also the entertainment methods that the town soldiers like to see and can hold together.

Tan Xuan and Ju Gambling, the role played by these two groups is the same, the core is that everyone should stay warm and not betray the organization.

In short, the crown prince Xiao Gang has also enveloped a lot of Southern Liang Shiliu around him through these methods, and even Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, is the core figure of his group. In the future, the reason why Xiao Yi was able to patrol the upper reaches, expand his power, and even finally establish the Jiangling regime also had a lot to do with this.

Zhang Zhang, who was about to go north from Xiangzhou to Xiangyang and take his place, was not only the son-in-law of Emperor Wu of Liang and Xiao Jing's brother-in-law, but also the former Donggong subordinate of the crown prince Xiao Gang and an important member of the prince's group.

Because of this intricate relationship, in the next Jiang and Han countries, there will be a very wonderful love and killing between their relatives, so that in the end, the vast territory between Jiang and Han will be surrendered to the Western Wei.

Not to mention the specific thoughts in Li Tai's heart, after hearing his expression of support for him, the gloom on Yueyang's face suddenly disappeared, and he no longer had the previous sorrow, and said to Li Tai with a relieved face: "I really didn't see the wrong person, Boshan, you are indeed a righteous person who can conspire with each other and trust life and death! With your support and help, I have no external worries and can concentrate on solving internal disturbances!"

When Li Tai heard this, he was also happy, what did he say, is Lao Tzu's eyelids so shallow? I want you to go to Xiangyang, how can I abandon you before I get it!

He guessed that King Yueyang's deliberate anxiety before was also a test of his attitude, because once he decided to defend Yongzhou without being replaced, the internal situation he faced would change dramatically, and he especially needed external stability.

If Li Tai behaves too snobbishly and turns to other tactics when he hears that his position is not guaranteed, then he will have to think about how to deal with their relationship.

"Now, I don't hide anything from Boshan. You should know that my father was the heir of my family and country, and after my father left the world, my brother should have succeeded to the throne, but he was ...... Alas, now there are many people in the country who are dissatisfied with the improper order of the heirs, although Zhu Yi, the leader of the DPRK and China, is the supreme confidant, but he is also the eyes and ears of my brother, so the decree of the DPRK and the Central Committee has not been issued, and I have already foreseen it!"

King Yue Yang said to Li Tai with a confident face, since he knew his intentions and attitudes, of course, he had to show his strength in order to make his allies feel at ease. Because he was afraid that Li Tai didn't know Zhu Yi's status in his country, he also explained intimately.

Li Tai was self-conscious when he heard this

The joy of the big feeling is that this Xiao Jing is not honest, and the cowhide is not small. Zhu Yi, as a confidant of Emperor Wu of Liang, also plays a role in restraining the crown prince to a certain extent, but it would be an exaggeration to say that he is the eyes and ears of Xiao Jing and their brothers.

King Yueyang still recounted his plan: "After the new defeat of Huaibei, the world was shocked and the people were uneasy. I'm not greedy for power, but it's better to be still than to be still. It may be difficult to change Zhang Zhang's entry into the generation, but it can still be remedied. Therefore, I have recently discussed with the pro-party in Beijing, and my brother will be appointed as Xiangzhou to succeed Zhang Zhang, and after my brother enters the state, I will not be sent for some reason, even if he enters the state, I will never hand over state affairs with him, so as to wait for the times to change!"

I have to say that this plan is still relatively shrewd, and their brother does operate it this way. First of all, he accepted the fact that Yongzhou was seized, and proposed to exchange Xiangzhou for Xiao Jing's brother, Xiao Yu, the king of Hedong, as the assassin of Xiangzhou, which is also a very normal situation in the political ecology of Southern Liang.

In this way, Xiao Yu does not enter the state to hand over state affairs, and Zhang Zhang cannot leave. And after Xiao Yu enters the state, he can detain Zhang Zhang in the state. Historically, their brothers used this to play Zhang Zhang in applause, so that after Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, intervened, he still failed to take Xiangyang from Xiao Jing, and Zhang Zhang, the assassin of Yongzhou, did not officially take office until his death.

So when Xiao Jing talked about being deprived of his post before, Li Tai was surprised at first, because in his impression, Xiao Jing seemed to have been in control of Xiangyang until he took refuge in the Western Wei Dynasty, because he forgot Zhang Zhang, a living treasure who was kicked from Changsha to Jiangling and then to Xiangyang by their uncle and nephew like a ball.

Hearing that King Yueyang showed the idea of not going to the state at this moment, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh secretly After the defeat of the Southern Liang and Northern Expeditions, its domestic and foreign affairs were basically out of control, and Hou Jing's toss accelerated the process and exacerbated a series of evil consequences.

Yang Yaren gave up the important town without asking for instructions, and Hou Jing's hundreds of remnants easily entered Shouyang, which can be said to be caused by the new defeat of the army and the panic of the people. However, the two brothers Xiao Yu and Xiao Jing violated the imperial court rules and regulations and connected each other to protect their power, which shows that the core contradiction and rift in Southern Liang have been revealed.

However, this is naturally a great joy for Li Tai, Xiao Jing will inevitably use all the forces that can be used for self-protection, including him, the general of the enemy country.

Although their brother already had a plan to delay and protect himself, he only thwarted it through procedural entanglements, and still needed enough strength to deal with the subsequent changes.

The so-called waiting for the time change is probably that if there is no change in their brother's favor in the future, they may have to roll up their sleeves and do it.

Whether it is out of the future strategy of the entire Jianghan region, or the current interests of the Han water trade route, Li Tai of course cannot turn a blind eye, and can take the opportunity to make further personnel arrangements to enhance the influence on Xiangyang.

After a moment's silence, he added, "Although I am a stranger, my friendship with the king is not limited by borders. What's more, the business we are running together now also involves the vitality of many people near and far, how can it be paid to the hands of female cadres who are not the same! The king is still loyal to the monarch and the country, but I have no such scruples. If that Zhang dares to enter this realm, I will make it come and go!"

"Thank you Boshan for comforting me, but Zhang Zhang is a close relative of the Zong family after all, if I don't have to, I can't bear to hurt him. What's more, he has a deep friendship with the lord of Gangneung, and if he is killed in this situation, it will give Gangneung an excuse to interfere with our state affairs. He is already domineering in his affairs and in the household, and it is not appropriate to give him a chance to play on the topic in the near future."

King Yue Yang shook his head when he heard this, obviously still not confident enough to meet the greater challenge, and still hoped to continue to develop his power with peace of mind. In particular, with the lucrative golden waterway of Hanshui, the personnel resources at his disposal have grown rapidly.

"But the king has benefited me a lot, and the past is not to be said, just now these tens of thousands of stone grain goods will greatly solve the urgent need. Now that the king is in trouble, I can't bear to stand idly by."

Li Tai said, "Since the danger plan cannot be done for the time being, then you might as well use it in a grand manner. I set up a city garrison fortification along the water in Caiyang County, and stationed an elite army here, separated from Xiangyang by a water, but the king can be summoned with a piece of paper. It will be much more convenient when we meet with the king again."

Caiyang County

Located in the northeast of Xiangyang, it was originally the barbarian chieftain of this realm who took refuge in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty also occupied a part of the land and established Nanyongzhou. However, these barbarian tribes are indetachable, just like when Li Tai rectified state affairs this year, there were many barbarian chieftains who directly led their troops to break away from Jingzhou's rule and wander to other countries.

Therefore, Li Tai also wanted to directly station people in this territory and actually control this territory, but he was worried that this move might cause the vigilance and resistance of King Yueyang, but now with such a good reason, he took advantage of the situation to bring it up.

When King Yueyang heard this, he was also overjoyed, so that he could not only obtain the support of Li Tai's army nearby, but also use this to publicize and exaggerate the border problems faced by Yongzhou, collaborating with the enemy to defend himself and at the same time raising his own respect.

After the two sides reached this consensus, they said goodbye happily, Li Tai directly took a fleet of grain to the north and returned to the town, and arranged for the generals to lead the men and horses south to build the city as soon as possible, taking a substantial step for further fishing in troubled waters!
