PS: Thank you to the book friend Eagle of the People's Liberation Army, Lan Zhiyu for your monthly ticket support.
Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "No, it's different, Yang Xuangan doesn't have the heart to be the emperor, even if he wins Guanzhong, he won't be my enemy in the short term, and Li Yuan's goal is the whole world, and he will definitely destroy me." Besides, getting Guanzhong does not mean that it can develop steadily, I still have Xue Ju and Bingzhou two cards to play. By the way, what's going on with Li Jing? Did he and Liu Wuzhou get up? ”
Wei Zheng's expression softened suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Li Jing's business in Ma Yi is booming, if it weren't for the lord's order, so that he couldn't come out on his own, I think he could have taken Ma Yi and Yanmen into his pocket." Lord, you did this, just cheapened Liu Wuzhou, is it really good? If Mayi is captured, it will be possible to control and annex the state, and it can also unite with the Turks in the north, threaten Guanzhong in the west, and go out of Taihang to the east to take Youyan. ”
Wang Shichong sighed: "I also thought about this, and then gave up, and the land of the state, the mountains and rivers in the surface, Yang Liang has been operating here for many years, and there is no armed group like the Guanlong family, the division and independence are too strong, the northern Mayi and Yanmen and other places are mountainous, and the east is close to Taihang, only in the central Fenhe area, Taiyuan and Jinyang, the plain, is the territory that can be relied on, but Yang Guang is obviously aware of this, and built the Fenyang Palace in the Fenshui area, which determines that he attaches great importance to Taiyuan, Won't give easily. ”
Wei Zheng nodded: "Yes, the land of Yanmen and Mayi is just a gateway, if you want to annex the state, you have to seize Jinyang." So can the lord start some preparations in Taiyuan? ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, Jinyang is the place where Yang Liang raised his troops." After the defeat of his army. The old city of Jinyang was demolished. Only the newly built Taiyuan City on the other side of the Fenshui is still there, which has been monitored by Yang Guang, and there are a lot of detailed investigations, and I want to operate there now, one is too late, and the other is too dangerous. As a result, I didn't expect him to be so brittle, and he didn't even do it, and afterwards, in order to clear his suspicion, I closed all the stores in the state, and all the intelligence networks were destroyed. ”
Wei Zheng's brows furrowed: "But in Mayi, now Li Jing has established an underground intelligence network, and has also made friends with many local heroes and heroes, and he has the official identity of Mayi Juncheng as a cover." It will be easier to do things, and now I have to give all this to Liu Wuzhou, a person who can't even talk about allies. Isn't it a bit of a shame? Would it be better if they stayed in their own hands and then turned to Taiyuan? ”
Wang Shichong waved his hand: "Ma Yi is not what Yang Guang cares about, he thinks that the Turks are very obedient, so making a little move in this kind of border county will not attract his attention, but Taiyuan is different." This place is too important, if you control Taiyuan, you will control Bingzhou, you can take Guanzhong in the west, you can enter Youyan in the east, and you can cross the Yellow River in the south and go straight to the eastern capital, so Yang Guang is no longer sensitive, and he will not hand over this place to people who don't trust. ”
"Now guarding Taiyuan is Qu Tutong, the general of Guanlong, and his deputy Yao Junsu was Yang Guang's guard in the Jin Dynasty, and he has deep feelings, he did not let Yao Junsu follow the expedition to Liaodong, but let him assist Qu Tutong to guard the state, from this point it can be seen that Yang Guang will never give the state to others easily. If I want to fight for Li Jing's position in Taiyuan, it will only arouse Yang Guang's vigilance. “
Wei Zheng nodded: "Then let Li Jing withdraw like this?" How does the lord plan to place him? ”
The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked: "I have to wronged Li Jing for another year or two, I can't recall him now, or let him operate in Bingzhou, have Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou returned to Mayi?" ”
Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Yes, Wang Rengong did not make great achievements in the last expedition to Liaodong, and the loss was not small, Yang Guang was also quite dissatisfied, this time he did not recruit him, but asked him to stay in Mayi with the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, and Liu Wuzhou, this kid, also came back." Li Jing has been in frequent contact with Liu Wuzhou recently, as well as some local powerful factions of wealthy families, inciting these people to think of separating and creating chaos in the future. ”
Wang Shi nodded meaningfully: "This is very good, and the land of the state, the strong soldiers are all in the northern borderland, and the Taiyuan area is not a place to send strong troops." Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Xuan Cheng, what do you think if we get Li Yuan to stay in Taiyuan?" ”
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed: "Oh, the idea of the lord is really wonderful, in this way, Li Yuan is left behind in Taiyuan, and he is under the high surveillance of Yang Guang, even if he wants to make any moves, it is not easy." ”
Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Exactly, and this place is not far from his hometown in Guanzhong, even if Yang Xuangan and Li Mi raise troops and take Guanzhong directly, in order to protect his hometown in Guanzhong, he will return to Guanzhong in various ways to fight to the death with Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, in this way, Guanzhong will fight for a long time, and the land of the state may be given to Liu Wuzhou to take the opportunity to obtain, lead the Turkic soldiers to the south, and fight for Guanzhong in the west, then there will be a good show." ”
Wei Zheng nodded: "It's just that Yang Guang can listen to this proposal of the lord?" What method can you rely on to decide on such a militaristic event as Li Yuan? ”
Wang Shichong sneered: "Don't worry, I won't mention it directly, but Empress Xiao will use her influence to speak to Yang Guang." Very good, the matter of the state has been arranged in this way, and now what I want to consider is how to arrange Yang Xuangan's position, this is a very difficult thing to do, put Yang Xuangan near the eastern capital, Yang Guang will not be unaware. ”
Wei Zheng's brows furrowed: "Actually, there is a precedent for Li Yuan, I don't think it's impossible." ”
Wang Shichong said softly: "How do you say this?" ”
Wei Zhengzheng said: "Yang Guang has always been afraid of Li Yuan, but he didn't dare to leave him in his hometown in Guanzhong, what he was afraid of was that he was fighting in the front, and Li Yuan was raising troops in the rear, so he let Li Yuan not bring any subordinates, that is, he was alone in Huaiyuan Town to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and took Li Yuan's wife Dou and his family to Zhuo County, Youzhou, and lived with the families of hundreds of officials, in fact, he was supervised as a hostage, only in this way, Yang Guang was relieved." ”
"Yang Xuangan's situation is similar, he doesn't have a wife, but he has many brothers, as long as the lord can speak to Yang Guang, a person like Yang Xuangan, several times to ask for war, too cool his enthusiasm, it's not a good thing, I'm afraid it will hurt his heart to serve the country, let him stay in the rear to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and let his brothers go out to Liaodong with him, don't give Yang Xuangan the right to fight, only let him manage those people who transport grain, boatmen, I think Yang Guang will also feel at ease."
