Although the "Raiders of Shu" of the Yanwu Academy is only the first draft, it basically has a complete analysis of the two rivers, and the feasibility of the proposed strategy of cutting Shu is also extremely high.

After this report is revised and improved, it will naturally be sent to Li Siyuan's desk, if the situation in Liangchuan deteriorates, Datang and Meng Zhixiang have to go to war, which will also become an important basis for Datang's future action to cut down Shu.

To treat Meng Zhixiang, Li Congjing and Li Siyuan had already set a strategy and implemented many measures. However, Meng Zhixiang recognized that the Tang Dynasty could not attack it now, so his wolf ambition has become more and more irrepressible, and he has always been perfunctory and perfunctory in his treatment of the imperial edicts. This made Datang still have no problem with him on the face - even the edict of reducing the levy, Meng Zhixiang did not implement it.

It is said that Meng Zhixiang is also a momentary figure, and there is no shortage of people around him to assist him, so he will naturally not be so easy to deal with.

Some time ago, the imperial court sent Li Yan to Shu to urge, intending to transport back the money and grain from the Shu treasury, after Li Yan arrived in Shu, Meng Zhixiang not only did not obey the order, but instead put some charges on him and detained him.

Such an act is no different from a rebellion, and it is almost a formal tear with the imperial court.

Meng Zhixiang is the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and the current strategy of the imperial court to restrict Meng Zhixiang is to make a fuss about the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival. Originally, Dongchuan Jiedu was Dong Zhang, and later acted with Meng Zhixiang. However, now Dong Zhang has long been dead, and the current Dongchuan Festival envoy is Li Shaobin, who was appointed by Zhuangzong.

Because the imperial court ordered Li Shaobin to move to Henghai, and used Datong Jiedu to make Qin Shi get the town of Dongchuan.

Compared with Liangchuan, the current focus of the imperial court on the feudal towns is still concentrated in Jingnan, because the situation in Jingnan is changing faster.

Gao Jixing asked for Kui, Zhong, Wan and other prefectures, and according to Li Qi's policy of treating Jingnan with a "slow and rapid attack", Li Siyuan agreed to Gao Jixing's request. Originally, this matter was over, Gao Jixing got the benefits, and he should stop for a while.

Who knew that after Gao Jixing was on the table, he did not wait for the imperial court to issue an edict, and sent troops to occupy Kuizhou. What's even more excessive is that he refused to allow the imperial court envoys to enter the country!

If it is left unchecked, who else will put the imperial court in the future?

Li Siyuan was furious and wanted to raise troops to attack, and even the generals had been selected, and he wanted to use Liu Xun, the envoy of Xiangzhou Jiedu, as a solicitor to attack Jingnan.

If this is the case, then Jingnan will definitely be like the original historical traces and finally throw itself into the state of Wu.

At that time, Li Congjing was slippery and Pu in the east, and after receiving the news from Li Siyuan, he hurriedly wrote a letter, asking Li Siyuan not to use swords and soldiers, and offered a countermeasure: Kuizhou has been promised to Gao Jixing, and now that he has taken it, give it to him. However, in order to punish his reckless behavior, the two states of loyalty and ten thousand states will no longer be given to each other.

Sent back to Luoyang along with Li Congjing's letter, there is also a military report that Li Congjing captured Puzhou and slaughtered tens of thousands of people of the silver spear and his family.

Gao Jixing originally wanted to be loyal and Wanliangzhou, and even Gui, Xia, and other states, but after learning that Li Shoujing was in turmoil, and the Hundred Battles Army was defeated in three days, and tens of thousands of people were executed in the Silver Spear Festival, he was greatly shocked, and immediately apologized and expressed his willingness to obey the arrangements of the imperial court, and no longer mentioned Zhong, Wan and other states.

As a result, the two were at peace, and Li Siyuan gave up the idea of letting Liu Xun attack Jingnan.

As long as Gao Jixing still saves face for the court and doesn't make it too difficult for the court, the court can make him comfortable for a while, and in the future, he will not make Gao Jixing too ugly.

However, the hateful thing is that Gao Jixing is not only insatiable, but also really shameless and capricious.

In this context, the strategy of "Dingjing South" came into being.

The policy of "Dingjing Nan" did not come from the hands of the Military Intelligence Department, the General Staff Office or the Martial Arts Academy, but the proposal submitted by Sang Weihan.

Sang Weihan's insights in "Dingjing South" can be described as three points. He said, "The reason why Gao Jixing coveted Kui, Zhongzhong, Gui, Wan, Xia and other states is because of his greed for profit, and his uneasiness is because he is greedy, so he asks for a lot, and because he is uneasy, he asks for self-protection, and the reason why he has these two hearts is because he despises the imperial court, and secondly because he is afraid of the imperial court. ”

Sang Weihan also said, "With this heart, it is not enough to become the image of today, so that those who have action will be confused inside and outside." Internal confusion originates from Sikong Liang Zhen, and external confusion originates from Jiangnan Yang Wu. Sikong Liang Zhen is always relied on by Gao Jixing, and he is proud of his outstanding intelligence, and he has no court, so he is very restless, and he always wants to stir up the storm. Jiangnan Yang Wu has always coveted Jingzhou, wants to turn it into his own, and rejects Wang Shi in order to strengthen the river defense, so there are many words of Xu Li and demagoguery. ”

When Sang Weihan mentioned Liang Zhen, he commented on him, and this evaluation was recognized by Li Congjing. Regarding Liang Zhen, Li Congjing also knows some anecdotes about him.

When the former Liang possessed the Central Plains, Jingnan called Liang a minister, and after Zhuangzong entered the Central Plains, Gao Jixing was very afraid, and changed his name to Gao Jixing in order to avoid the name of Zhuangzong's grandfather Li Guochang - he was originally called Gao Jichang, and he wanted to enter the court to see Zhuangzong in person. At that time, Liang Zhen persuaded Gao Jixing not to go.

Liang Zhen said to Gao Jixing: "The king of the Liang Dynasty, and the present world called the enemy, bloody war for 20 years, died for the present day, although the artifact treasure is in his hands, I am afraid that the remaining anger has not stopped, look at its old generals, have no harm heart, should be deeply considered." "Persuade Gao Jixing to stick to self-protection and don't throw himself into the tiger's mouth, Gao Jixing didn't listen.

Then Gao Jixing went on a pilgrimage to see Zhuang Zong, and was almost killed by Zhuang Zong on the way back, and after returning to Jingnan, he was grateful to Liang Zhen.

Liang Zhen said to Gao Jixing: "The Tang lord has experienced a hundred battles, and now he has Henan, so he is proud of his achievements and gets carried away, how can it last long?" Gao Jixing felt that Liang Zhen was right, so he immediately repaired the city and accumulated grain, recruited Liang Dynasty stragglers, and practiced day and night to strengthen defense.

Later, Guo Chongtao attacked Shu, Zhuang Zong ordered Gao Jixing to recruit envoys for the southeast of Xichuan, Gao Jixing asked to attack Kui, Zhong, Wan, Gui, Xia and other states, and after Zhuang Zong agreed, he did not send troops. After the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, Gao Jixing was shocked and said: "This is my fault!" ”

Liang Zhen said at this time: "If the Tang Lord wins Shu, he will be arrogant, and he will die quickly. So Gao Jixing intercepted the river, and when he encountered the Tang officials transporting the property of Shu to Luoyang, he robbed it halfway. Before and after, he obtained 400,000 yuan and killed dozens of people including Han Heng, the detainees.

It can be said that the reason why Gao Jixing is always suspicious of the court and is insatiable is that Liang Zhen is definitely "very meritorious".

Sang Weihan naturally knew what Li Qi said about the strategy to deal with Jingnan, so his "Dingjing Nan" was actually based on Li Qi's advice as the direction and came up with specific countermeasures to deal with changes in the situation.

He said in his words: "If you want to calm Jingnan, you must first set Liang Zhen, and never help Yang Wu." Liang Zhen, self-esteem is very high, the beginning of the high season to hear his name, want to take it as a judge, Liang Zhen is ashamed of his official small and not settled, from this point of view, this person is not ordinary wealth can move his heart, but his person is timid and afraid of disaster, if you can make the people of the vertical and horizontal say it, or can make it self-isolation from Gao Jixing. The reason why Yang Wu allowed Gao Jixing to make a lot of profits was nothing more than coveting Jingzhou, Gao Jixing's first rat at both ends, or indistinguishable, if Yang Wu had a promise but could not be fulfilled, and the imperial court gave kindness in a timely manner, it could make Gao Jixing know about his relatives. ”

Sang Weihan's strategy is very clear, in order to keep Gao Jixing from messing around, it is necessary to cut off his back road and hope, make him no longer believe in Wu Guo, and at the same time solve Liang Zhen, the person who always picks him up against the imperial court. In this way, even if Gao Jixing is greedy and despised, he will not act rashly, and at this time, if the court exerts grace and appeases his heart of being afraid of the court and despising the court, he will not make big waves again.

Regarding the strategy of "Dingjing Nan", Li Congjing discussed with Mo Li for a long time, and finally believed that the strategy was feasible.

However, I have to admit that it is really a long way to go to send people to Jingnan to deal with Liang Zhen and separate Jingnan and Wu State.

The situation waits for no one, and Li Congjing still plans to let Mo Li go.

has the experience of supporting Daming'an in the Bohai Sea and stirring up the government and the opposition in the Bohai Sea, and it will not be impossible to start if he leaves here.

Not to mention the Qin Palace, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no better candidate than Mo Li.

Sang Weihan was a little unhappy, he said to Li Congjing that he offered the strategy of "Dingjingnan", that is, he wanted to go to Jingnan by himself, "The servant joins the army for the palace record, and he is often ashamed of his lack of merit. ”

Okay, give the official a no. Li Congjing was a little depressed.

Let Sang Weihan go to Jingnan, Li Congjing didn't have this idea, it wasn't that Li Congjing questioned his character, and in fact, he didn't have much confidence in Sang Weihan's ability. After all, Sang Weihan had just entered the Qin Palace, and said that he was quite talented, which was a conceptual understanding, and there was no intuitive deeds to understand. Without a realistic foundation of merit, he will hand over such a heavy responsibility to him when he comes up, even if Li Congjing knows that he is Sang Weihan, he is unwilling to do so.

You must know that to put it mildly, Jingnan will have a big plan to destroy Wu in the future, and at a big point, the role of Jingnan in attacking the entire Jiangnan, and even dealing with Shu, cannot be underestimated.

In a word, Jingnan cannot afford to lose.

Mo Li saw that Li Congjing had a headache, shook the folding fan and chuckled: "The trip to Jingnan is a big matter, and it is necessary to seek Liang Zhen and Yang Wu. According to the opinion of Li, it is better to leave and join the army with the record. ”

Li Congjing looked up at Mo Li, and it was strange that he would say this.

Mo Li would never think that he was incapable and couldn't cope with the situation in Jingnan, this confidence was not enough, Li Congjing also had it, and Li Congjing believed that Mo Li also had it. Although Mo Li has always had a free and easy temperament, and he has no desire to fight for power, but selling favors like this is not in line with his consistent chic and comfortable style.

Moreover, even if Mo Li asked Sang Weihan to go with him, he would not say anything like "going alone, you can't catch it", he should be very indifferent and say "let the record join the army and follow me", instead of "go with you". The former means that the trip is headed by Mo Li, and Sang Weihan is a follower, while the latter has the meaning of cooperation between the two, regardless of priority.

This really doesn't match Mo Li's style, no wonder Li Congjing is curious.

However, Mo Li said so, and Li Congjing also intended to take a look at Sang Weihan's catties, so he agreed to Mo Li's suggestion, "In this case, let the two of you go together on this trip." He looked at Sang Weihan again and specifically advised: "All matters in Jingnan should be headed by Changshi, and there should be no disobedience." ”

Being able to get this errand and have the opportunity to prove himself, Sang Weihan was already very satisfied, and to be honest, he didn't feel that with his qualifications, he could dominate this errand, and he was very excited to thank him at the moment.

After Sang Weihan retreated, Li Congjing looked at Mo Li and said his doubts, there was never anything hidden between the two, "Although the trip to Jingnan is difficult, with Mo Ge'er's talent, there is no need for others to help." Moreover, whether Sang Weihan is going to help or add to the chaos, it is still unknown, how can Mo Ge'er be willing to take him with him? ”

Mo Li still smiled indifferently, but the words he said were as heavy as a thousand pounds, "Dare to ask Your Highness, where is your ambition?" ”

Hearing this, Li Congjing also smiled. When the two were young, they had starlight on their heads, sat on the courtyard wall with a wine jar and talked about the world, talked about the past and the present, and exchanged aspirations. ”

"Because the ambition is high and the road is long, the journey will inevitably be dangerous and difficult, so we need to unite as one!" Mo Li shook the folding fan and got up and said goodbye to Li Congjing, "That's the only concern in my life." I hope that ten or twenty years from now, Brother Li will still remember what you once said, the country is picturesque, and that is the common avenue for you and me! ”

After saying this, Mo Li turned around with a smile and went out with a fan.

Li Congjing watched the white robe go out in a daze, the smile on the corner of his mouth lasted for a long time, no one saw it, and at some point, his eyes were a little moist.

In the world in front of you, it is indispensable to understand the depth of Li Congjing.

He knows Li Congjing's ambition, so he knows more about the difficulties ahead, so he understands the importance of talents.

Sang Weihan can be called a jade, what is the texture of this jade, whether it can be carved, he is willing to try it for Li Congjing, even if it is a big risk.

Since ancient times, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, which courtier dared to say such a thing to the king: The country is picturesque, that is the common avenue of you and me?

Li Congjing and Mo Li can.
