Wang Yan did have some hesitation at the moment, he listened to Chen Bangyan's words, and couldn't help but be interested, so he casually sat down and talked about it.

After Chen Bangyan sat down again, he said: "Now that the rebellion of King Jingjiang is about to be decided, I look at the Hou Ye who seems to have the intention of reaching out to Bagui, isn't it?" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, his eyes narrowed, but he thought that since Chen Bangyan had joined his command, he did not hide it, "Ben Hou has this intention, but the strength in his hands is insufficient, and he lacks confidant officials, and he is still stretched thin to manage Guangdong, so he hesitates in his heart!" ”

Chen Bangyan nodded, and was very satisfied with Wang Yan's truthful confession, and then he straightened up and said: "In the land of Bagui, I advise Hou Ye not to be in a hurry to meddle for the time being. ”

Wang Yan knew that he still had the following, so he listened carefully.

"I say this for three reasons." Chen Bangyan explained: "First, Bagui is mountainous, there are many toasts, the place is small, the merchants are not connected, the money and grain are limited, and it is difficult to operate, and the result is half the effort, and Hou Ye's soldiers and horses are limited, and he will not only be unable to increase his strength, but will weaken Hou Ye's strength in Guangdong, so that Guangdong cannot be developed, and the gains outweigh the losses." Second, the governor of Guangxi, Qu Shiyun, has been operating Bagui for many years, and his prestige is high, and the king of Jingjiang rebelled, but he was only locked up and put under house arrest, and he did not dare to hurt him in the slightest. Third, His Majesty made Hou Ye the head town of Guangdong, and made Hou Ye go north to Sanxiang, but Hou Ye was trapped in the land of Bagui, which inevitably made His Majesty suspicious, made the monarch and the minister separate, and made it inconvenient for Hou Ye to act in the future. With these three points, I thought that in the land of Bagui, Hou Ye still didn't want to meddle in the good. ”

Once the army has territory and the right to collect taxes, it can't help but want to expand its strength with more territory, and slowly become a warlord and a cancer in the region.

During the Hongguang Dynasty, the imperial court limited the four towns, and the number of soldiers in each town was 30,000, but these commanders of the four towns who controlled the territory, in order to ensure the territory, almost without exception expanded the army privately, and after the expansion, the silver salary of 30,000 people issued by the imperial court was naturally not enough, so they wanted more territory, so a vicious circle was formed.

Zuo Liangyu expanded the army privately, claiming to be 800,000, how could the imperial court afford it, and the land of Wuchang that he guarded naturally couldn't afford it, so the military discipline of the left army was the worst, plundering the people everywhere. The left rebelled eastward, in addition to avoiding the Dashun army, the land of Wuchang could not be robbed, and they wanted to go to Jiangnan to eat, which was also an important reason.

Although Wang Yan will not blindly expand his army like the four towns and Zuo Town, he still hopes to have a larger territory and raise a more elite army like them.

At this time, he listened to Chen Bangyan's words, and his heart couldn't help but sober up a lot, and he suddenly felt that the land of Bagui was like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it.

"Sir's right!" Wang Yan was moved by Chen Bangyan's words, and he agreed with the first two points, but the most important thing was the third point, the emperor's thoughts, but he couldn't help but consider: "In the land of Bagui, Benhou will let the Guangxi officials clean up the aftermath by themselves!" Once the rebellion was put down, Ben Hou immediately returned to Guangdong, concentrated on managing Guangdong, and prepared to go north to Sanxiang to fight against the northern captives. ”

"Hou Ye~" Chen Bangyan shook his head again and said: "I thought that it was quite inappropriate for Hou Ye to leave easily. ”

"Why is that?" Wang Yan was a little confused in his mind.

"Now the imperial court, what it really controls is only Guangdong and southern Gansu." Chen Bangyan explained: "Since the Hou Ye occupies Guangxi, although he cannot be included in his command, he cannot be ceded to Qu Shiyun, who is in harmony with the imperial court. I think that we should find a man and divide his power, so that even if he has the heart to support the heart of the King of Yongming, he will not have the strength to support it. In this way, the land of Bagui is stable, and Qu Shiyun does not dare to have two hearts. ”

After listening to this, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel reasonable, and in the future, when he marched into Sanxiang, Guangdong would inevitably stay weak, and Guangxi would be too strong, and he would be uneasy in his heart, but who could fight Qu Shiyun?

He was thinking about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, but then he looked at Chen Bangyan with a look of surprise and said: "Mr. is it to let Benhou let Ding Kuichu go, leave him in Guangxi, and call out with the momentum of dividing Qu style?" ”

Chen Bangyan naturally knew what Wang Yan meant, and persuaded him casually: "Lord Hou and Governor Ding have no grudges, just because of a conflict of interest. Now that he has fallen, the handle is in the hands of Hou Ye, Hou Ye let him go, but he can appear to be broad-minded, and when Hou Ye first came to Guangdong, he put the governor of Liangguang under house arrest, in the court, in the eyes of His Majesty, it is not good-looking. ”

Although Wang Yan was loyal to Emperor Longwu and felt that Emperor Longwu was a powerful monarch, he did flout the laws of the imperial court recently.

Now that the imperial court is in danger, it is not worth counting these, but if the imperial court stabilizes and even recovers the rivers and mountains in the future, then every time he transgresses, it will become a dark thorn in the emperor's heart, making it difficult to trust the monarch and the ministers.

The difference between him and Ding Kuichu is that he still has the bottom line of loyalty and patriotism in his heart, but Ding Kuichu is unscrupulous for his own interests, and even colludes with rebellion.

Wang Yan didn't want to let go of Ding Kuichu, but he had to admit that Ding Kuichu was the best person to divide Qu Shiyun's power, and he was stationed in Guilin as a governor, and with a little more soldiers and horses, he could immediately compete with Qu Shiyun.

For a while, Wang Yan couldn't help but weigh it in his heart, and finally selfishness prevailed, "Ben Hou agreed with Mr. 's advice, let Ding Kui Chu go, and Chen Bangfu and other four generals also released it, but in this land of Wuzhou, Ben Hou wants to control it in his hands, I don't know what to say?" ”

"The land of Wuzhou is the gateway of Bagui to the east, located in the key chong, and it is not impossible for the Hou Ye to occupy it, but it cannot be occupied, you can discuss with Ding Kuichu, transfer a thousand households to his command, and then let him be stationed in Wuzhou, so that it can be justified!" Chen Bangyan replied.

"In this way, Ben Hou wants to hire Mr. as a counselor and discuss with Ding Kuichu on behalf of Ben Hou, I don't know what to call?" Wang Yan stood up and looked at Chen Bangyan.

"I am willing to serve the Hou Ye." Chen Bangyan responded.

At the moment, the two discussed some views on the current situation, which made Wang Yan gain a lot in his heart.

As the head of a province, Wang Yan has too many affairs to deal with, so that he is almost drowned in those trivial matters, and with the expansion of the territory, he can no longer consider many things alone, and now he finally has a talented staff member, who can discuss with him and fill in the gaps for him, he immediately feels much more relaxed, and also realizes the importance of the staff.

In addition to opening a martial arts academy, the formation of a staff team as soon as possible was also put on the agenda.
