He also knew that Chubei had a deep infiltration of Jiangling personnel, so in order to prevent Yao Sengyuan from coming into contact with too much personnel information from the outside world, he simply kept Yao Sengyuan on duty in the garden and did not go out.

In this way, Wei Envoy could only contact and invite Yao Seng Yuan through himself, so he could only obediently take the initiative to ask for a meeting. In this way, whether it is the aftermath of the assassination of the Qi envoy, or the more important issue of the return and delivery of territory and cities, he can have more say in it.

As for Zhang Juan's advice to threaten a child in a person's womb is undignified, Xiao Yi feels that it is nothing. It must be known that when Li Boshan proposed to enter Xiakou, he also took advantage of the Hou Jing rebels to attack Jiangling, and he also took advantage of the danger of others.

In negotiations between countries, morality is the most meaningless thing in nature. Li Boshan doesn't want to bow his head, so he just don't have children! If you compromise your reputation and reputation, you can exchange the important Jiangfang port for the country, and Xiao Yi is also happy to make such a sacrifice.

However, he still overestimated the urgency of the other party's needs, and the reason why Li Tai moved to invite Yao Sengyuan to go to Chubei was just to be prepared and have a child without Yao Sengyuan. What's more, even if the lady wants to give birth, she needs to conceive in October, and she can't afford to go to the central government to seek medical treatment now.

Li Lian came to Jiangling this time, and he didn't have any official diplomatic mission, just to find out on the spot what the Southern Liang monarchs and ministers were thinking and what the current situation was in Jiangling. Since Lord Liang dragged on and did not summon him, he was not in a hurry to ask for a meeting, and for the next period of time, he took turns to be a guest in Jiangling City, and he enjoyed the hospitality of Jiangling people and the food and customs of the Southern Dynasty.

As for the purpose of the arrival of the Qi envoy, with the assistance of Liu Guangde, he finally inquired about it, and Li Lian sent someone to send the news back to Chubei as soon as possible.

After Li Tai, who was in Yucheng, learned of this situation, he couldn't help but sigh that this Xiao family just wanted to be beautiful and have fun, it seems that not only are and charms still exist, but and their husbands are not bad, and there are a lot of ideas to hook up in Jiangling.

Next, he also convened the people in the house to discuss the latest situation, including the new long history of the eldest grandson Jian.

Although it is said that Changsun Jian is a candidate who has been forcibly inserted by the Chinese and foreign governments, since he has come to Jingzhou and holds such an important position as the governor of the Governor's Office, there is no need to take too deliberate precautions.

And the eldest grandson Jian has been responsible for the past few months, although he has not promoted any major government decrees and plans, but as a candidate who contacts and coordinates the personnel of the governor's office Zhu Cao, he has done a very good job, compared to Cui Qian.

This also made Li Tai initially accept the eldest grandson Jian in his heart, of course, he is still far from the real confidant. Not to mention deliberately guarding against it, he will not discuss any plan in his heart like he did with Cui Qian.

Regarding the joint action between the Southern Liang and the Northern Qi, the Southern Liang side had nothing to say. Not to mention that this is just an intention and possibility, even if it has become a fact, unless Nanliang transfers a large number of downstream troops such as Wang Shengbi and Chen Baxian, otherwise with the force here in Jiangling now, if you really dare to invade Handong, you must be prepared to be beaten out of the first.

Compared with Jiangling, the only shortcoming of the Jingzhou Military Government is the strength of the naval army, and this is also being quickly leveled. At the beginning of the year, the large warships built at the mouth of the Danjiang River had gradually armed the Xiakou armies, and Xu Wensheng and other garrison generals were also working hard to train the navy.

This year, the production scale of Danjiangkou Dockyard will usher in an explosive period, and after the summer, there will be at least a dozen large ships and supporting warships that can be put into the water for installation.

At that time, even if it still can't fight with the main force of the Nanliang Naval Army on the Yangtze River, it will be able to defend without losing its defensive power, and it will be more than enough to block the first line along the river and the Han River channel. In this way, it can be regarded as an invincible position, and there will never be a situation like before when Wang Lin led the army to block the gate of the Shuiying camp and shout and have no way to fight back.

The Southern Liang side does not need to pay attention to it for the time being, and as for the Northern Qi who took the initiative to seek cooperation, it is necessary to pay attention to how true and how false it is.

Since Wang Shengbi defeated Guo Yuanjian's troops in Dongguan last year, the situation of the Northern Qi in Huainan was not optimistic enough, and there were many disturbances in various places, especially the rebellion in Yisucheng, which had the worst impact, which directly led to the cities and towns along the Yangtze River being disturbed by the counteroffensive of the Southern Liang army. It can be said that how happy I was when I picked up cheap before, and how irritable I am now.

But despite this, the Northern Qi still enjoyed the greatest advantage in the Huainan region, so they had enough bargaining chips to negotiate with Jiangling. Not to mention anything else, just those important towns in Jiangbei, no matter how many times Xiao Yi was swept away, in the case that he could not be captured by pure force, as long as the Northern Qi took it out as bait, Xiao Yi would inevitably not be moved.

However, the advantages established by the Northern Qi in Huainan, in addition to the troubles it is currently facing, there is also a very important hidden danger, that is, Yiyang, which is occupied by the Jingzhou Military Government.

As long as Yiyang is not under its control for a day, the Huainan territory that the Northern Qi now occupies may be attacked and swept by the flanks of the Western Wei. Wang Seng was even willing to give up Hefei before, just in exchange for the Jingzhou military government to fight against the Northern Qi army, and this is the reason.

From a strategic point of view, it is undoubtedly a more reasonable and beneficial choice to abandon some overly in-depth Jiangbei town defenses, so as to concentrate superior forces to seize Yiyang and control the entire Huaishui Valley.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the cooperation model proposed by the Northern Qi Dynasty is valid, and it is also very much in line with the respective needs of the Northern Qi and Southern Liang. Because the current Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is a vicious neighbor for them that is eyeing them and affecting the security of the realm.

One point that needs to be discussed now is that if the Northern Qi really wants to use troops to Yiyang, how many troops can be sent and how much investment can be made? Before that, does Jingzhou need to continue to strengthen Yiyang's defense?

Everyone present listened carefully to the series of questions pointed out by Li Tai, but few were able to put forward constructive and enlightening suggestions.

This is also a long-term malaise of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, the subordinates are accustomed to Li Tai setting a forward-looking goal and framework, and they are responsible for promoting the implementation, and the ability to execute is very good, but when it comes to the ability to be pioneering and independently deal with problems, it is seriously insufficient.

It's not that the people in the governor's mansion are all mediocre, it's really that the situation in the Later Three Kingdoms is changing too quickly, especially after the Hou Jing Rebellion, the whole world seems to be installed with an accelerator, and many unbelievable things are frequently staged, no matter how witty people are in the face of this treacherous and unpredictable situation, they can't help but feel that their imagination is seriously insufficient, let alone that they can make appropriate responses to everything.

The Jingzhou Governor's Office grew rapidly under this general trend, and the masses often did not adapt to the current situation, so they were pulled by Li Tai and quickly entered the next battlefield. Fortunately, Li Tai's judgment was successful again and again, so that everyone only had to work hard, and there was no need to stop thinking at all.

The eldest grandson Jian has just joined the military government, but he has not yet been assimilated by this atmosphere, and seeing that everyone has few creative ideas, after a little hesitation, he stood up and said: "According to what I have seen in my humble position, there is no need to pay too much attention to the dynamics of the East Thief in Huainan at the moment. Yiyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the thief does not make the male soldiers, it will be difficult to attack. As far as I am concerned, even if Yiyang is lost, there is still the risk of three passes, and the land with it can still be protected.

The most important thing today is to focus on Jiangling, repair armor and raise horses, and accumulate grain to prepare for war. Once Jiangling is conquered, the Jianghan and Han will be all owned by us. No matter how hard Yiyang is, it will be difficult to compete with the East Thief in Huainan in a short period of time. If I suddenly increase my troops in Yiyang, it will make the people of Huainan in the east suspicious and hastily ask for help, even if I don't want to fight, I am afraid it will be inevitable. ”

"What Changshi said is not unreasonable, and the current plan is indeed to focus on Gangneung. But since the people of Yiyang have taken refuge in me, I have absolutely no reason to give up their city to others. The thieves plotted against me in Huaishang several times, but they all returned with a feather, but they still did not change their thief nature, which is really hateful! ”

Although what Changsun Jian said was also a serious measure, this did not conform to Li Tai's intentions. Not to mention that passive defense and blind concession are not Li Tai's style, and his next plan also makes him not think too conservatively.

The possibility of a union between the Northern Qi and the Southern Liang theoretically, or the intention and attempt of the Northern Qi to seize Yiyang, did not conform to Li Tai's vision of the next situation.

He has a great plan, just taking Gangneung is really a bit of a disappointment to the business layout and recuperation of the past few years, and now he is about to take an important step, of course, there are not too many variables that threaten his future actions.

"Let's do it first!"

After a little muttering, he still planned to solve the troubles of Northern Qi before the battle of Jiangling officially began, and on this issue, he was not fighting alone, because there was a natural and suitable ally to fight for right now, that is, Jiangdong fierce man Chen Baxian!

Xiao Laoqi wants to threaten Lao Tzu with Northern Qi eyebrows, Lao Tzu will first unite with your national generals to beat Northern Qi with a full face.

He still has reservations about other people's words, but for Chen Baxian, he feels that they have a lot of common topics to talk about, who is not an ambitious young man with Lu dreams in his heart? If you say it well, you're called the boss, but if you don't say it well, you're a ball!
