Zhao Pu told Tianya all the stakes, and Tianya also carefully explored it for a period of time, making sure that this matter was beneficial to himself and also to Da Zhou.

Li Hongmao had better not die, otherwise he didn't know how Yang Ying would react after taking over Chu Di, and he couldn't let Yang Ying affect the life of Yandao. Similarly, Yang Ying should not be allowed to have too strong military power.

If Yang Ying dominates the country and then gains Chu land, he can completely establish himself as the king, and even Li Jing may not dare to touch him at that time. After all, at this time, Da Zhou wanted to capture the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing had no way to withdraw, and there was no extra army to crusade against Yang Ying.

If Yang Ying divides all the regions of the Southern Tang River and Jiangxi, the pace of unifying the world will be delayed for the Great Zhou.

Yang Ying was not originally a vegetarian character, if Li Jing was scheming, Yang Ying was definitely cunning. Yang Ying has a heavy army in his hand, and Shouzhou is related to the life and death of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Yang Ying is still quiet, and only sends some inconsequential reinforcements.

In contrast, Li Jingsui, the king of Yan, is much better, he is Li Jing's younger brother, and in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, except for Li Jing, the person with the highest rank and the greatest power is the king of Yan. Although there is also a struggle between King Yan and Li Jing, but at the moment of foreign enemies, the brothers are naturally united.

Now the most powerful people in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty are King Yan and King Zhennan, but Yang Ying, the king of Zhennan, is too selfish, if he is willing to pay more, Shouzhou and the vicinity will be much easier.

This is also the reason why Yang Ying expected that even if he killed Li Hongmao at this time, nothing would happen, Li Jing and Li Jingsui's troops were mostly near Shouzhou to guard the Jiangnan barrier, and Yang Ying obtained all the ruling rights in Jiangxi, he could even send troops to attack Hou Zhou from the side, and then he would be the first hero, what can Li Jing do with him?

Although this matter was very beneficial to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jing was unwilling to do so. If Yang Ying is allowed to rule the Jiangxi region, there is no doubt that he will rebel sooner or later.

The location of the Jiangxi region is easy to defend and difficult to attack, when the Chu State was attacked, it was sent by Jiangxi, the Chu State did not occupy the advantages of the territory, was suppressed by the Southern Tang Dynasty every year, and finally died due to civil strife. But if Jiangnan sends troops to attack Jiangxi...... It's almost impossible.

Li Jing even suspected that Yang Ying would help the Great Zhou to attack Southern Tangshan after becoming emperor, and he Yang Ying would also get a piece of the pie at that time.

Li Jing didn't dare to take this risk, and in his opinion, Shouzhou was indestructible, and he didn't need Yang Ying's help. In the face of this kind of villain, Li Jing has no choice but to wait for Li Hongmao to develop and continue to suppress Yang Ying's forces.

Li Jing's suppression and prevention of Yang Ying exceeded three times that of Li Jingsui, the king of Yan, because Li Jing was not afraid of the rebellion of King Yan, even if he rebelled successfully and became the emperor, the surname was Li, and it was the blood of his family. But if Yang Ying's rebellion is successful...... Jiangshan is about to change his name and surname.

Of course, the struggle for imperial power does not distinguish between brothers, and it is the brothers who should pay the most attention. But Li Jing still didn't worry about Li Jingsui, because he only had one stupid son, and that stupid donkey didn't know if it was the blood of the Li family.

Even if Li Jingsui likes this son again, he knows very well that the country cannot be handed over to this son. So even if Li Jingsui succeeds in usurping the throne, the country will still fall into the hands of Li Jing's three sons in the end, although Li Jing knows that his eldest son and second son are straw bales, but they are just straw bales, not stupid donkeys.

The only thing to worry about now is that Li Jingsui is not too old, and he may be able to have another ......

Li Jingsui's ability is very strong, and he is not lost to Li Jing, the eldest brother, relatively speaking, Li Jingsui is much younger. Of course, the most important thing is that Li Jing's three sons are not very successful, the eldest and the second are all straw bales, and the third is a rare genius, but he is blind, which is also cheap Li Jing's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, he wants to get this throne, as for the juniors...... It would be nice to see which of them could give birth to an excellent son, and then pass on the throne to this grandchild.

Li Jingsui's idea is not outright treacherous, if Li Congjia is indeed blind, his arrangement is undoubtedly the best. But of course Li Jing will not be at the same time, because he knows that Li Congjia is not blind, and he is willing to assist the crown prince Li Hongji, and Li Jingsui has no chance to play at all.

"Third Highness, what do you think of this proposal?"

Tianya originally wanted to go to Xishu to ask for an official position, and with his martial arts, even if he didn't use the things taught by Zongxin, he could mix well. But after thinking about it carefully, if no one recommends it, it may not be possible to run over directly, and if you ask Zhao Pu to recommend it, it is also a good proposal.

Tianya had seen Li Hongmao when he was young, but in the past so many years, he himself has forgotten what Li Hongmao looks like, not to mention that children grow up fast, and it is impossible for Li Hongmao to remember his appearance.

Tianya nodded and said, "This method is not bad...... Are you sure that Li Hongmao is willing to hire me for half a year with a thousand taels of gold? Although I am very confident in my martial arts, I do have a little more gold in a thousand taels of gold. ”

"Your Royal Highness has worried, now is the critical moment, the Great Zhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty are at war, and Li Hongmao is undoubtedly the most dangerous person. Li Jing wants to delay the spring of next year, as long as Da Zhou retreats, Yang Ying will not dare to make a move on Li Hongmao, so half a year's thousand taels of gold is still less, Li Hongmao is even willing to pay five thousand taels of gold to save his life, and now Li Hongmao is very rich. ”

Zhao Pu is very confident in Li Hongmao's net worth, because the salt tax is very heavy, and Zhao Pu knows exactly how much toll he has to pay to Nantang every year, and the person who gets these taxes is Li Hongmao. Even if Li Hongmao's fingernails are scraped a little, he can make him rich, and it is just a drop in the bucket for a thousand taels of gold to save his life.

Of course, not everyone can get such a high salary in the past, and the people recommended by Zhao Pu to Li Hongmao must of course be treated separately. Li Hongmao also knew that Zhao Pu was rich, and Zhao Pu thought that this person was worth a thousand taels of gold, so he just gave the money to do things.

After all, their wealth has accumulated to this level, Zhao Pu will not recommend an incompetent person in the past for the sake of a thousand taels of gold, and the friendship affected is far more valuable than a thousand taels of gold, not to mention that Zhao Pu can't get this money.

Tianya said: "Okay, this method is good, I owe you a favor." ”

"Don't dare. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, we've known each other for 7 or 8 years, and you won't be unfamiliar with my character, anyway, I owe you a favor, and I will definitely pay it back in the future." ”

Zhao Pu lowered his head and didn't react, this was already a default that Tianya owed him a favor. Although this favor doesn't know when it will be returned, this is definitely a good thing for Zhao Pu.

Of course, Zhao Pu didn't dare to nod directly and say that Tianya owed him a favor, but the two of them knew in their hearts that it was more reliable than anything else, and he didn't worry about Tianya cheating, because Tianya was the kind of person who didn't need to cheat.

Tianya said: "That...... Prepare a room and bath water for me, I will stay here tonight, and leave for Tanzhou early tomorrow morning. ”

Tanzhou is the capital of the Chu State, and after the Chu State was destroyed, it was not deserted, but by Li Hongmao sitting in Tanzhou. Because enough salt taxes were collected, Tanzhou's economy was very prosperous, even comparable to Jinling.

"Yes. ”

This matter is not enough for Zhao Pu, and it is simply worth it to be able to exchange such a small favor for a favor from Tianya.

Zhao Pu's care for Tianya is naturally meticulous, and Tianya also took this opportunity to take a good rest, and he was really tired from traveling during this time. By the way, Zhao Pu also prepared a lot of poison to feed Xiao Jin, although Xiao Jin can eat anything, but what he prefers is poison and poison.

Zeshui Beast is the most poisonous thing in the world, he is immune to any poison, and when he eats these poisons, these poisons will also be stored in his body, and it will take years to make it become a real poison.

Tianya has always been very regretful, because the Zeshui beast he brought with him is still too small, and it will take hundreds of years for him to grow up and be able to be a mount for himself. Tianya didn't know before, so he had a good relationship with Xiaojin, and thought that he would be able to grow very strong in a few years, but later he realized that he was too naïve.

The next day, Zhao Pu prepared a letter and handed it to Tianya, and also gave fifty taels of silver for the passage and a horse.

Although Tianya wants to refuse, his current situation no longer allows him to refuse. Originally, Zhao Pu wanted to give more money, but Tianya thought that fifty taels of silver was enough, at least he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking along the way, and he didn't need to save it.

Tianya's amount of food was also learned from Zong Xin, and the Nine Seals Easy Pulse Method can improve physical fitness, but at the same time, it will also make the body function rotate rapidly, resulting in an increase in the amount of food.

Tianya rode the good horse given to him by Zhao Pu all the way to the south, although Weinan is far away from Tanzhou, it is almost a straight line, and there is no need to worry about making a mistake.

Zhao Pu's horse head is thin and the neck is high, the limbs are slender, the skin is thin and the hair is fine, the pace is light, and it can run for half a day in one breath.

In fact, the horse is not tired, but Tianya is afraid that he will be tired, so he often dismounts to let it rest. But Tianya can also see that this is a good horse, but it is not qualified to be his own special mount. Although Tianya doesn't ask for a strange beast, he must be at the level of a wolf to be qualified to be his mount.

It took nearly half a month for Tianya to travel from Weinan to Tanzhou, and this is the difference between mounts. If it were a white one, it might be possible to arrive in two or three days. So although this is a good horse, it is also just a good breed picked out of the horse.

Of course, there is one thing Tianya doesn't know, the price of this horse is more expensive than the money on him. At the beginning, Zhao Pu spent three hundred taels of silver to buy this horse, which was not only fast, but also had strong endurance, and he might not be able to pick out such an excellent breed in a thousand horses.
