Standing under the golden steps of the Zichen Palace, Li Xuan was dressed in a purple python robe, his hands drooped, and his expression was respectful.

"It is rumored that the king of Nanchang will meet you." The voice of the chamberlain echoed lightly at the door of the Zichen Hall in the afternoon.

"The minister Nanchang Wang Xuan commands." Li Xuan solemnly bowed his hand, then stepped on the golden steps, steadily ascended, crossed the threshold, and swept his slightly raised gaze to the figure of the emperor who was sitting behind the imperial case and reviewing the chapter.

Standing in the hall, Li Xuan directly bowed down and bowed: "Minister, the head of the march of Luo Dao, the governor of Changzhou, the history of the Changzhou assassin, the general of the right guard of the inspection school, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple of the inspection school, the prince of the inspection school Shaozhan Shi, the Wang Xuan of Nanchang, meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a long life." ”

"Calm down, it's rare for you to go back to Beijing and bring me a gift." Li Zhi put down the golden pen in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan, and said gently: "Let me see how you have changed this year...... It does seem to be much more mature than at the beginning of the year. ”

Li Xuan, who had just stood up, immediately paused slightly, then bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty." ”

There was a faint choking in his voice, but Li Zhi obviously heard it.

"Okay, don't be a child." Li Zhi waved his hand directly, and then asked, "Have you heard about Feng Chan?" ”

"Yes, the prince said it on the way to the palace." Li Xuan gave up his hand and did not hide anything from the emperor.

"What did you say?" Li Zhi's gaze was slight, but he was always staring at Li Xuan.

"His Royal Highness is worried about the expense, but the minister feels that His Highness is a little too worried." Li Xuan bowed down and said seriously: "The minister doesn't know how the specific date will be arranged, but I think it should be after the battle between Tubo and the grassland is over, but at that time, with the replenishment of the wealth harvested by Tubo and the grassland, no matter what the court wants to do, there should be leeway." ”

Li Zhi smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "What you said is good." ”

"In addition, although the affairs of Feng Chan are expensive, if they are carefully managed, so that the money used can really fall into the hands of the people, then this money is not in vain." Li Xuan added slightly, and Li Zhi's eyebrows suddenly raised.

"This is the theory of governing the country with wealth." Li Zhi nodded suddenly.

"Yes, when there was a great drought in Qi State, Qi Huan asked the ministers whether they should collect taxes from the mountain gods and river gods to save the people, and some ministers said that they should sacrifice to the heavens and pray for Ganlin, but Guan Zi said that the king should repair pavilions and pavilions and recruit people who have been in drought and poverty for a long time to work, even if there is no additional cost, but only three meals a day can save hundreds of people." Li Xuan gently bowed his hand, this is the earliest prototype of cash-for-work.

Because it is a cash-for-work job, it can also avoid the robbery of grain and grass by corrupt officials to the greatest extent, and has always been imitated by countless Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers in later generations.

Li Zhi is no stranger to it, he immediately looked at Li Xuan with some amusement and said: "Although this method is good, there have been few disasters and famines in Datang over the years." ”

"Your Majesty, the government affairs of Changzhou are simple, clear as water, everything is okay, but in Hebei and Longyou, I am afraid that there are still some things that are difficult to control...... Moreover, in addition to the affected people, the relevant businessmen in Chang'an and Luoyang can all benefit, but they need to carefully eliminate those big merchants. ”

"You mean the big families behind those big merchants." Li Zhi nodded slowly, once the money flowed into the hands of those people, it would be difficult to flow out again.

"Yes!" Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "As long as the wealth can flow into the hands of more people, it doesn't matter if it is a waste of money, not to mention that Your Majesty will open up Tibet and pacify the Turks. ”

Looking at Li Xuan, who bowed deeply again, Li Zhi smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "In this way, I am afraid that most of your seizures from Tubo will be taken away by the court." ”

"Those are not the ministers." Li Xuan raised his head seriously, looked at the emperor and said: "The minister believes that what the minister gets, His Majesty will definitely reward the minister, as for the rest, the four seas in the world, the five lakes and eight wildernesses, belong to Your Majesty." ”

"You're getting better at talking." Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand, and said: "This matter is still early, I am not in a hurry, and even the household department has not even submitted a single project to the present, let's see it then, in addition, I also feel that Songshan is very close." ”

This kind of thinking of the emperor is also normal, and he also knows that it is very expensive to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, so he chose Songshan.

As for the five peaks of Fengzen, it is mostly a beautiful vision.

Fengchan Songshan needs to be prepared in years, not to mention the distant Heng Mountain and Heng Mountain.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan and said, "I have read the secret letter sent by the secret guard, and if I am dead, is this news true or false?" ”

Li Xuan took out a letter from his body, handed it over, Wang Fulai took it, and then put it on the imperial case.

"This is a secret letter sent by the Bren Zanjian to the minister, and the letter bluntly said that if you want him to return to the Tang Dynasty, then you need Your Majesty to reward him, and allow his family to Changzhen Tubo Chongsa in the future, and the rest will obey Your Majesty's orders." Li Xuan simply stated the contents of the letter.

"Where's Okisa?" Li Zhi didn't understand for a moment.

"In the southeast of Tibet." Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "It is the key point for Tubo to go to Tianzhu, and it is also the ancestral land of the Gar family. ”

"There is no Lu family in Zhangxiong, the family of the Tubo royal family originated in Nyingchi, and Chongsa is a prosperous city second only to Luo and Nyingchi." Li Xuan said with a solemn expression: "The Brunzan Blade is blackmailing the earth. ”

"On Qinling, if Zanxi dies one after another, will the Gar family still have strength?" Li Zhi's words go straight to the core.

Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "This time, the two thousand families of the Gar family in the Luo Manor were all slaughtered by the people of the Lu family, but in Chongsa, there are more family children of the Gar family, and there are even a few uncles of the Brunzan Blade, a younger brother, and a few nephews there. Once they return to Chongsa, it is not difficult for the Gar family to organize an army of 100,000 if they are desperate, but they have no combat effectiveness. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded and said, "I understand your worries, you are worried that he will become another Silla. ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said: "There are only three ways in front of Brunzan now: first, it is to surrender to Datang and enjoy the glory and wealth given by Datang; second, lead the troops to kill back to Chongsa, defend the territory, and then sit and watch the tiger fight; Third, surrender to the royal family, after all, the royal family has named him the great minister of Tubo......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a trace of disdainful mockery.

This is obviously a delaying plan without the Lu clan, as long as there is no Lu clan to grasp the military power, then the Brenzan blade will only be a dead end.

"Do you want the Gar family and the Wu Lu clan to come ruthlessly once, it's best to lose both." Li Zhi saw through Li Xuan's thoughts at a glance.

"Yes." Li Xuan bowed his hand heavily, and then said: "It's best that the two of them can decide to live and die, in this way, only if there are enough dead people, can the Tang Dynasty scavenge more wealth in Tubo." ”

Li Zhi groaned, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "I agree with your idea of weakening the Gar family, but it is better for the Gar family to exist, Tubo is too far away, our dynasty does not have much foundation, and we still need someone to help, as for controlling the Gar family, let them send a few more family members to Beijing as hostages." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan bowed down and thought about it: "If this is the case, I am afraid that we need to support a few more families to balance each other." ”

"You can do it." The emperor waved his hand directly, and he didn't care about the details.

"Yes!"

"Regarding the reward of the Boren Zanjian Blade, the Zhengdan Dynasty will send it directly, and when you return to Tibet, you will be able to use him directly, and then whether it is to drive it to attack the city, or something else, I believe that you have enough means to control it, so now the only question remains, when can you break through the Luo, how can you break the Luo." Li Zhi's body couldn't help but lean forward, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Li Xuan arched his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister has never been to Luo, but listening to what Princess Wen Changcheng said, Luojiao is four feet high, and the defense is well-equipped, and the general means are afraid that it will be difficult to break the city, or it will take a long time under the city. ”

"I know that when you first attacked Naqu, you were using Logica as an example." Li Zhi nodded, they had already heard Li Xuan's plan before, that is, after planting in the spring of next year, the people near Luo Qi would be driven into the city, so that they could consume some food while waiting for them to riot during the autumn famine.

"Cut off aid, cut off water, cut off food, and separate people's hearts." Li Xuan arched his hand and said with a serious expression: "Cutting off reinforcements means that after besieging Luo, cut off the reinforcements around them, so the Luodao East Route Army, the right leader Wei Heiya Changzhi's department, attacked Nyingchi from north to south; 3,000 men on the left guard, 2,000 men on the right, and 5,000 guards on the right attacked Shigatse; The ministers took the left guard, the left guard 2,000 men, the right guard 3,000 men, the right guard 2,000 men, and Gabron Zan 20,000 men, and attacked some of them. ”

"You don't have enough troops, do you?" Li Zhi keenly caught the loopholes in Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's eyes, so the minister asked Jiangnan to recruit 3,000 troops earlier, but the military department has not replied. ”

"I don't know about this, but since it's only three thousand, I'll allow it." Li Zhi nodded indifferently.

"In addition, the minister will transfer the source of the river to defend Tibet, and Subi Yang will attack Luo with 5,000 cavalry each, a total of 40,000 people." Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly.

"And what about the south side?" Li Zhi's eyes jumped, and Li Xuan deliberately missed the south.

"Shannan is the land of the Koji clan, and if you want to divide 10,000 people from the Brenzan Blade Army, you can block the offensive from the south, and even counterattack." Li Xuan directly threw the pot to Brenzan Blade.

"You're still weakening him." Li Zhi saw Li Xuan's plan at a glance, and then asked, "If you don't keep the Brunzan blade this time, what are you going to do?" ”

"When the army was blocked in Dangxiong, he sent Qiu Zhenmu and Tang Zhenxing to take Shigatse, and then Chen soldiers took some cities, but did not attack the city, luring the enemy out; Linzhi remains the same, but Shannan may come to the rescue, but the Gar family and the Koji family, without the Lu family, the royal family, after a few battles, how many veterans can they have. In a word, Li Xuan's more concise logic strategy has been said.

Li Zhi couldn't help leaning forward slightly, he could hear that Li Xuan's set had the least pressure on the court.

Immediately, Li Zhi keenly grasped the problem: "Your troops are even more insufficient, and it will take more time to govern Tibet in the future." ”

In Li Xuan's strategy, those who should divide the troops still have to divide the troops, and doing so just gives Li Xuan the opportunity to divide and annihilate.

Once the other party is not fooled and goes straight to the logic, then it will have a great impact on the people who are in the logic.

Murder was pursued, but follow-up sieges were neglected.

In the battle of defending the city, there is not much difference between the old pawn and the new pawn, especially the city defense of the city is strong enough.

"But then there will be less pressure on the grain and grass." Li Xuan arched his hand, looking worried.

Li Zhi suddenly understood what he wanted to say, waved his hand and said: "The matter of sealing Zen will not be on the right track until after taking the Luo, don't worry, don't worry, besides, if he dies, then the pacification of the southeast of Tubo will also have a big problem, and the consumption will be greater." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan arched his hand, and then said: "But as long as you can win Luo, with Mangsong Mangzan in hand, I believe there is still a chance." ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Don't be too scrupulous, since leaving the Brenzan blade can bring more benefits, then leave him behind, as for the rest...... You're in a hurry. ”

Li Xuan bowed his head in a deep voice: "Yes!" ”
