Guo Song pointed to the estuary port in Cangzhou and said: "The second way is to take the sea route to transport troops to Runzhu, the Liu family has enough sea ships, and then the warships in the south of the Yangtze River will escort them along the way, this road is more suitable." ”

Only then did Du Qiu understand the intention of King Jin to visit the Liu family a few days ago, and I am afraid that he would have thought about taking this path at that time.

Guo Song said to Dugu Qiu: "Please ask Dugu Xiangguo to persuade the Liu family." ”

Dugu Qiu nodded, "Weichen understands!" ”

With King Jin's previous visit, it was no longer a problem to convince the Liu family.

At this time, Guo Song said to everyone: "Now we are facing an unfavorable situation of using troops on the fourth line, Zhu Juntun has 40,000 troops in Ruzhou, and he will attack Dengzhou and Xiangzhou at any time, and the Xiangyang army that contains us cannot attack Jingnan with all its strength."

The second is Jingnan, I got the news that Liu Pi's envoy has arrived in Luoyang, and I don't know for what purpose, but I deduce that Liu Pi wants to attack us from the north and south with Zhu Zhu.

The third is to send troops to Jiangnan to fight against Liu Shining's army, and at the same time take Jiangnan into the bag.

Then the fourth is to send troops to Lingnan, the time is very urgent, almost together, it is really difficult to do, I want to hear your opinions. ”

This question is indeed very tricky, everyone was silent for a while, and at this time, Du You smiled and said: "Your Highness, Weichen has a little idea. ”

"Du Xiangguo, please speak!"

Du You said unhurriedly: "It's very simple to deal with Zhu Zhu and Liu Pi joining forces, Yuan Xiu is dead, and the people around Zhu Zhu who can talk are probably Liu Sigu, Yao Lingyan and Liu Feng, among which Yao Lingyan has a very small right to speak, the key is Er Liu, as long as we make a fuss about Liu Feng, Liu Sigu is trusted by Zhu Zhu, and he can't compare to the pillow wind." ”

It's a little interesting, everyone couldn't help laughing, Guo Song waved his hand and said, "Du Xiangguo continues!" ”

Du You continued: "In fact, the contradiction we are really facing is the time conflict between Jiangnan and Lingnan, in fact, this is also easy to solve, the reason why Liu Shining is ambitious and wants to annex Liangzhejiang Province is because the Liangzhejiang Province is weak and has an opportunity to take advantage of it, but as long as our 30,000 troops enter Jiangnan, Liu Shining will not dare to act rashly, Your Highness understands what I mean?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "What does Du Xiangguo mean is that as long as we settle in Jiangnan, the war will not break out?" ”

"It is precisely this intention, when the reinforcements enter Jiangnan, it should be Liu Shining who is worried, and his ambition may turn west and attack the relatively weak Ma Sui."

Pan Liao praised: "Du Xiangguo's overall situation is very well grasped, in fact, the two-front battle, the difficulty is not the number of troops, but the logistics are more difficult, but Jiangnan does not need us to prepare logistics, just send 30,000 more troops, and the army is advanced in Jiangnan, we can establish a rest and supply point in Mingzhou to prepare for our army to enter Lingnan." ”

With the foreshadowing of Du You and Pan Liao, the outline of the entire battle situation became clear, and everyone said a word, and the flesh and blood of the entire overall outline began to be enriched.

........

The military and political discussion ended temporarily, everyone went back to the official room, Guo Song invited Du You and Pan Liao to his official room, and asked the two to sit down, Guo Song pondered for a moment, and said to the two: "Just now we talked about cracking Zhu Zhu and Liu Pi teaming up, in fact, there are still many details we have to consider, under the pressure of retaking Jingzhou, it is not a few words of pillow wind that can change Zhu Zhu's intentions, he can come to this day, we must not underestimate Zhu Zhu." ”

Guo Song walked to the window with his hands down, looked at a goshawk in the sky, and continued: "Zhu Zhu has a lot of problems, gluttony, lustful, fat as a pig, but his advantages are also obvious, he is generous, he is not suspicious of employing people, and he is not confused about big things, he indulges Liu Feng to kill Yuan Xiu is not mediocre, but he has long wanted to move Yuan Xiu, Yuan Xiu has the power to tilt the government and the opposition, monopolize power, and have the merit of founding the country, Zhu Zhu is not good at moving him, so he uses Liu Feng, a rough man, to bring him down, and the blame is on Liu Feng. ”

Du You and Pan Liao were also silent for a while, they also realized that the King of Jin was right, they couldn't underestimate Zhu Zhu, in fact, when Zhu Zhu was a minister in the Tang Dynasty, he was notoriously treacherous, groveling to please Emperor Daizong, and pretending to be loyal, how could such a person be confused, pretending to be stupid, but he would never be mediocre.

Guo Song smiled and said: "In fact, Zhu Jun has many weaknesses, although he is not suspicious of employing people, but he has problems in employing people, getting rid of Yuan Xiu, a problem that an assassin can solve, he just cultivated a rude and stupid Xiangguo, it can be seen that he is still not high."

Zhu Jun also has a weakness is that he is not firm-willed, his personality is changeable, he hesitates when he shoots, and he will retreat when he encounters difficulties, it can be seen from his attack on Hebei, he has obviously taken the lead, but he is indecisive, and he has repeatedly missed the fighter, as long as we take advantage of his own weaknesses, we will definitely be able to crack the alliance between him and Liu Pi. ”

Du You pondered for a long time and said: "Your Highness is right, we can't just think about conspiracy, the meaning of humility means that we can use Liu Feng to persuade Zhu Zhu, but the premise is to create an atmosphere, such as the pressure of the army on all sides, and you can even put pressure on Li Na, asking him to deploy heavy troops in Jeju and Yunzhou, and then we deploy troops in Hebei and Kunguan, with pressure from the outside world, Zhu Zhu has to consider the consequences of forming an alliance with Liu Pi to attack Jingzhou." ”

"Will Li Na agree to our request to send troops?" Guo Song asked.

Du You said lightly: "He will definitely agree, the hundreds of sea ships in Hekou Port make it difficult for him to sleep, and he has to agree if he doesn't agree!" ”

........

Luoyang Gentle Fang, here is the Luoyang fireworks brothel concentration, and the name of this fang, is Luoyang's out-and-out gentle hometown, there are more than 200 brothels in the workshop alone, as well as the teaching workshop, music workshop and other entertainment places, here has also become the place of Luoyang officials and nobles to linger.

In the afternoon of that day, a thin middle-aged man walked out of the Peony Building in Wenwenfang, with a few strands of burnt goatee on his chin, and this person was Liu Feng's chief staff Yang Mi.

Yang Mi was originally a teaching assistant in Songzhou Prefecture, and he should be a teacher and lead by example, but he likes to look for flowers and ask willows, and he is an old customer of various brothels in Songzhou, and after arriving in Luoyang, he won Liu Feng's trust and received rich rewards.

He found two good friends in a row today, he was really a little sore and weak, and he was looking for a restaurant to have a drink, at this time, someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw a man in his thirties behind him, tall and fat, brightly dressed, and very familiar, but Yang Mi couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

"Mr. Yang doesn't know me anymore?"

The man smiled and said, "A few days ago at Baiyun Restaurant, I also toasted Mr. Yang!" ”

"Yo! It's Jiang Dongzhu. ”

Yang Mi suddenly remembered, a few days ago he met this person at a birthday banquet in a fellow villager, it seems that his name is Jiang Min, it is said that he specializes in the fur business, and Yang Mi also expects to buy a cheap fox fur jacket from him!

"I didn't expect us to meet again, it seems that we are really destined!"

Jiang Dongzhu smiled and said: "Since there is fate, why don't you go and have a drink, I'll have a treat!" ”

Yang Mi was still about to go for a drink, but it was rare for the other party to have a treat, so he immediately said happily: "Then it's disrespectful!" ”

The two came to a nearby restaurant, found a private room on the second floor and sat down, Jiang Dongzhu ordered more than a dozen dishes, and asked for two pots of good wine, and after a while, the scalded wine was served first.

Jiang Dongzhu poured Yang Mi a full glass of wine, and poured it for himself, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Why don't we meet in life, meet again for us, and have a toast." ”

"Dong Zhu Jiang is worthy of being a businessman, he is very good at talking, and we did it."

The two drank all the wine in the cup, and Jiang Dongzhu grabbed the wine jug and poured the wine again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang hasn't been home for a long time!" ”

"It's not a long time, I've only been in Luoyang for half a year."

"Mr. Yang should often go back to see, your father's legs and feet are not very convenient, and he fell the day before yesterday, and your son is also pitiful, he was bullied by his classmates in the state school, and he needs his father's care very much."

Yang Mi's face changed, he stood up and asked sharply, "You went to investigate my family?" ”

Jiang Dongzhu waved his hand, still smiling and said, "If the voice is smaller, everyone around you will hear it." ”

Yang Mi's eyes were full of suspicion, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Jiang Dongzhu quietly took out a silver medal and slowly placed it on the table, Yang Mi saw the words engraved on it: 'Jin Wei Mansion'.

His head 'buzzed', and his face suddenly changed greatly, the suspicion in his eyes turned into fear, and he stared at Jiang Dongzhu for a while and asked, "You.... What exactly are you going to do? ”

Jiang Dongzhu said lightly: "Actually, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to cooperate with Mr. Yang, you can rest assured, your family is absolutely safe and sound." ”

"You ..... It's despicable. ”

The word despicable came out of Mr. Yang's mouth, it was a bit funny, Liu Feng bought Yuan Xiu's housekeeper, went to send a letter to Meng Xizhi's son, let him escape, and killed the housekeeper and framed Yuan Xiu, this is Mr. Yang's idea! In the end, Yuan Xiu was poisoned to death at the halfway inn, which was also Mr. Yang's suggestion! Aren't these things despicable? ”

Yang Mi suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and said for a while: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"It's nothing, just ask Mr. Yang for a small favor."

After speaking, Jiang Dongzhu put a letter on the table.
