Chapter 612: Thoughts
Nothing happened overnight.
Others may not have slept well, or they may be frightened, but Li Xun slept until dawn all night and slept comfortably.
When he came to the living room, breakfast was ready, Sima Tu was sitting there waiting, Li Xun didn't come, he naturally wouldn't move the chopsticks first.
"Lord, you're here."
Seeing Li Xun coming, Sima Tu got up and saluted.
"You're welcome, there's no outsider here."
Li Xun waved his hand and motioned for Sima Tu to sit down, no need to be polite.
Sitting down opposite Sima Tu, Li Xun looked at him twice while holding the dishes and chopsticks, and saw that Sima Tu looked a little haggard and was not in good spirits, so he asked with concern: "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Look at how low you look. ”
Sima Tu smiled bitterly: "Lord, this is not a good place, you sleep comfortably, but I don't sleep comfortably at all." ”
Li Xun smiled and said lightly: "If you come, you will be safe, or you don't choose, if you choose this direction, you must go on firmly." ”
Sima Tu opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but Li Xun waved his hand and signaled to eat first, and if he had anything to say, he would talk about it after eating.
After having breakfast, the two sat down across from each other.
"Lord, you have also seen that although we have helped Loulan so much, they have always been wary and defensive against us, everyone has a gap in their hearts, and once any accident occurs, something fierce and unknown may break out."
Sima Tu sighed: "What we did was still a little too hasty, and a little too risky. ”
Entering Loulan, clearly forming an alliance with the Houchi clan, in fact, secretly uniting Loulan, and fighting back, this plan was decided by Li Xun, and Sima Tu has always expressed opposition, he feels that it is too risky to do so, although the first two plans, at the beginning were planned by Sima Tu, but with the change of the situation, Sima Tu is readjusted, or those two plans, but after the plan adds a little follow-up, that is, to temporarily abandon the southern part of the Western Regions, and mobilize the army there, so on, The army in Li Xun's hands can reach 30,000, and after solving the Houchi clan, he will raid Loulan and directly destroy the Loulan country.
However, Li Xun thought about it again and again, and finally vetoed Sima Tu.
Sima Tu's plan may be the most secure, but Li Xun has his own ideas, he doesn't want to make things so complicated, Li Xun wants to completely solve and stabilize the situation in the Western Regions in the shortest possible time, at present, in order to achieve this goal, there are only the last two difficulties left, one is Loulanguo, and the other is the southern part of the Western Regions, the upcoming religious riot, with Zhan Bai and Dashiren, the two biggest obstacles have been cleared, and some of the remaining problems can no longer stop Li Xun, so say, Whether it is Loulan or the southern part of the Western Regions, it is not a big problem, it will be solved in the end, the outcome may be the same, but the harvest may be very different, in Li Xun's view, forcibly solve the problem by force, although the final victory can be achieved, but no matter what, it will have to pay a certain price, and if you can tie Loulan in your own hands and use it, 20,000 elite cavalry, the help to Li Xun is really huge.
Wang Suyi had already sent a letter to him, but his persuasion had ultimately failed, and the hard-line leaders of the Mani and Rhodes religions had reached a complete agreement with Kangju and Hao Khan to prepare for a riot.
The chaos in the southern part of the Western Regions is irreparable, and a war of rebellion and counter-insurgency is coming.
Regarding the situation in the southern part of the Western Regions, Li Xun is actually not too worried, he has already ordered someone to convey Fan Zhongyun, all matters are handled by him with full authority, and if there is anyone who disobeys, he can be cut first and then played, and give him absolute power.
Last night, Fan Zhongyun sent someone to send news.
Zhao Zhang and Li Zhaodi have led 5,000 troops to enter Zhenshi City, and Shan Qiu has also sent 5,000 troops to garrison Juyan City, and Zhao Wei has led 10,000 troops to garrison Haolan Kingdom.
Li Xun fell into contemplation, Sima Tu was also thinking about the problem, he was different from Fan Zhongyun, Fan Zhongyun is the kind of thing that as long as he decides, he will either not do it, once he does it, he will definitely do it to the end, and he will never change, while Sima Tu is different, he gives advice and formulates strategies for Li Xun, but the direction is for Li Xun to grasp, he will only follow the discovery pointed by Li Xun to plan and make plans, for example, now, Li Xun has made a decision, although he has been persuaded, but Li Xun obviously did not accept it, and still decided to continue, since this is the case, Sima Tu no longer insisted, but changed his thoughts and ideas, and reformulated new plans and strategies.
Li Xun pondered for a long time, obviously there was something wrong that made him think heavily, and Sima Tu had already woken up from his contemplation, looked at Li Xun, and waited for a while, then said softly: "The lord seems to have a lot on his mind. ”
Li Xun nodded and didn't speak for a while.
The second battle of Longyou, although it was victorious, but Li Xun himself also suffered heavy losses, and the number of troops in his hands was sharply reduced to less than 20,000, just like this time to send troops to the Western Regions, 55,000 troops, which seems to be a lot, but among them, Li Xun's direct army, only 5,000, and the remaining 50,000 people are in the hands of Li Changchun and Wang Dezhao.
The dispatch of troops to the Western Regions this time is not only out of strategic considerations, but also has its own factors.
Li Xun wants to completely master the military power, to achieve this goal, the best way is to complete it in the war, as far as the current point of view, the effect is very good, not only in the military has achieved a brilliant victory, Li Xun is three times before and after the reward of the whole army soldiers, which makes his own prestige and power influence greatly enhanced, the integration of military power, all the power in their own hands, is only a matter of time.
However, the struggle for power in the court, Zongzheng Siqing, Quwang Zhao Tong as the observation envoy, Zuo Tongwei General Zhang Jin, Dali Temple Tong Tao Kan and Yao Gu as the observation deputy envoys, these people came to Wuzhou, so that Li Xun was very worried, especially two days ago, Zheng Chun, who stayed in Wuzhou, sent a letter, Zhao Tong and others came to Wuzhou on this trip, as if there was no political purpose, and the attitude towards Li Xun's officials at all levels was also very good, Zhao Tong and others don't know for what purpose, they actually jointly wrote a letter to impeach Wang Renzi, and the specific content is not known for the time being.
Sima Tu was the first to learn the news, he felt that Wang Renzi's life and death had nothing to do with them, and he didn't need to pay too much attention, but Li Xun didn't think so, Wang Renzi's sudden accident made him suddenly have a huge pressure.
