When the Lian Lai Department and the Diera Department beat Gao Dexin of Jili City to only one mountain city, they suddenly retreated three hundred miles, making Gao Dexin breathe a sigh of relief.

When this information was reported to Li Jing, it made him feel a little regretful. He originally wanted to wait for them to take down Jili Mountain City, and then Li Jing would come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind. Now that the cicada is still there, but the praying mantis has already run away, Li Jing has to reconsider the situation in front of him.

And at this time, Xiao Qisi flew to report that there was an accident within the Khitan. The head of the Diera Division, Yelu Yundeshi, was assassinated by Yelu Lide, the son-in-law of the Bala Khan, in the same department, and the position of Yili Jin, who controlled the power of the Khitan soldiers and horses, was about to be replaced.

This made Li Jing see a glimmer of opportunity.

At this time, Wang Pu, the commander of the Japanese army and the lord of Duli City, came to the door.

"Marshal, I think that now is not the time to immediately send troops to Liaozhong, so it should be postponed."

When Li Jing heard this, he smiled slightly, feeling a little strange in his heart. When Wang Pu was in Duli City, he was sharp, but since he was repeatedly defeated by him, the edges and corners have been polished and rounded. Although he now serves as the deputy governor of the Liaonan Governor's Mansion and the military lord of the Japanese army, and the lord of the town of Duli, he is more cautious and less enterprising. Like today, taking the initiative to come to Li Jing to talk about such a major event as sending troops is not like his style.

"Why does General Wang think so?"

"Actually, I told you when you came to see me at home yesterday." Wang Pu said: "It's a pity that the Khitans didn't take Jili City. Instead, he retreated three hundred miles. It is the smell that our army is preparing for war. Therefore, avoid fighting. And now that Gao Dexin has a chance to breathe, he will definitely summon other Goguryeo ministries to come. If we march at this time, we will have to fight Goguryeo before dealing with the Khitans, and maybe the Khitans will be the Yellow Sparrow behind. Moreover, I heard that the Khitan Yili Jin was assassinated at the moment. Unfortunately, Jun felt that this was an excellent opportunity, and there was a possibility of civil strife in the Khitan. If we hold our troops at this time, we will postpone the dispatch time. Then it is possible that the Khitans will start with civil strife. And if we advance at this time, then the Khitans may temporarily suppress the internal contradictions under our threat and turn to the outside world first. ”

"What the unfortunate king means is that we are not in a hurry to send troops first, and take advantage of the current situation of the Khitans, we only need to send a few powerful people to the Khitan, add a fire to them, provoke the Khitan Diera civil strife, and even cause the Khitan civil strife, that is the best situation. Wait until the Khitan knows about it. At that time, if we send troops again, we will be able to sweep Liaodong in one fell swoop. ”

The more Wang Pu spoke, the more excited he became. didn't find it, but Li Jing pinched his chin, but his eyes were staring at the glass teacup on the table, stunned.

Wang Haojun is too smart, Li Jing is sure that he will not know more than three people about sending Li Wei to the Khitan. Naturally, Wang Haojun will not be included in these three people, and others will never reveal such news. Therefore, Wang Pu's words may really be Wang Haojun's own judgment.

This woman is really powerful, living in a deep mansion compound, and she can analyze the situation so clearly and make corresponding countermeasures with just some information that is not too confidential. This reminded him of the previous confrontation between Duli Town and Qingni City, and the records of the three ladies who had made several moves.

Why should women be so smart, Li Jing had a headache. Since returning home, Li Jing has not been clear about how he has been at home during this time. After the big moon, he has been connected to the house, and now he has seven wives and concubines and seven children under the age of seven. Every day, either the children cry, or the wives and concubines compete for beauty, love and jealousy. Even his time every night doesn't belong to him anymore. The seven women carried him behind his back and negotiated a sleeping table, every ten days, the first three days were in the wife's room, and the next six concubines were each in the room for one night, and the remaining one night was reserved for Li Jing's rest time.

This agreement is said to have been agreed to by his mother Han, and I heard that this watch was made by Wang Haojun.

Gui Niang, Wan'er, Wang Haojun, Pei Chenxi, Pei Chenlan, Zhang Hui'er, Da Yue'er, seven women, but they are divided into several groups, Gui Niang and Wan'er have the best relationship, Pei's sisters have a good relationship with Wang Haojun, who is also from Duli Town, Zhang Hui'er and Da Yue'er, the two who were the last to enter the door, but they hugged a group. Only Wang Haojun seems to be able to talk to anyone, among the wives and concubines, she is the best with everyone, and even has a good relationship with Li's mother Han.

Wang Haojun is a little too smart, although she gets along well with the whole family, but Li Jing always thinks that she gets along well with everyone, but it is just a kind of hypocrisy that is well disguised. This woman who has both the appearance of a captivating city and is smart and close to a demon is simply a fox demon, smart and beautiful, and she can't even tell what she is wrong with in terms of dealing with people. And the kitchen under the hall he went to, the lady under the bed, the slut on the bed, was simply a perfect woman, and being with her was like being drugged.

But there is one point, Li Jing is faintly wary of her.

This woman is not only smart, but she also seems to be not satisfied with the control of the backyard house, not only overshadowing the performance of his wife Wang Guiniang, but also showing her ability in other directions. As with today's incident, this is not the first time she has done this.

Maybe Wang Haoniang did this out of good intentions and wanted to help herself. But she has crossed the line a little by doing this, usually she befriended Li Jing's sisters, the wives of generals in the army, Li Jing didn't care too much, after all, these women communicate their feelings, and they can also enhance the relationship between generals.

But now, Wang Haojun is no longer satisfied with these, and she has begun to mix in these big things.

Li Jing was suddenly a little disappointed in Wang Haojun in her heart, saying that she was too smart or too smart? A smart woman should know her duty, Li Jing is not the kind of person who looks down on women, but Li Jing cares a lot about the system.

Not in his position, not in his politics.

Wang Haojun is nothing, just a third lady of Li Jing, but he participates in these things, and even gives advice to Wang Pu, which is not what he likes.

Thinking of this, Li Jing interrupted Wang Pu's words.

"Actually, there are some things I didn't tell you. Because it's a very confidential matter. The Khitan side. I've already sent men. Moreover, I also had other plans regarding the dispatch of troops after the autumn, and I was about to summon the generals to come and discuss. Speaking of this, Li Jing relaxed his tone and said, "It's a good thing that you are born smart. However, we still have to worry about these military and political affairs. It's a pity that you should teach Baoyu with more heart, and you have to keep your duty in everything, you say yes. ”

Wang Pu heard this. was shocked, and immediately heard the meaning of Li Jing's words, and seemed to be dissatisfied with his daughter. It seems that the daughter's intentions are in the wrong direction, and this son-in-law doesn't like women to take care of men's business.

"I'll go to you and explain this." Wang Pu said with some worry. If her daughter really made Li Jing unhappy and fell out of favor because of this, it would not be good.

"It's always been good for you to come to the Li family, honor your mother, serve your husband, and nurture your children. You also know that Lu Dao is the eldest son of the Li family. Although he is not a son-in-law, he is also the eldest of the three sons. But Gui Niang is still young. Although she has only given birth to a daughter now, she will still have another daughter in the future. I know that the gentleman respects Gui Niang very much on the surface, but in his heart he is not like this, and even now in the house, other people only know the third lady, but they forget that there is a big lady. There are some things that I don't want to say to her directly, and I hope that General Wang will tell her. ”

These words were already a little harsh, and the sweat on Wang Pu's face came down. Today's Li Jing is not the original Li Jing, and now the entire Duli Town is completely controlled by Li Jing, and he has no capital to confront Li Jing. If her daughter really falls out of favor, the entire Wang family will also be implicated.

"Understood, I'll explain it to her." Wang Pu nodded and bowed back, went out and shook his head, it seems that his daughter has not really understood her husband's heart. Trying to use the wrong direction, although Li Jing is young, he doesn't like to interfere in the palace politics. Getting into the carriage, Wang Pu said to the coachman: "Go to the Shuai Mansion!" ”

After Wang Pu left, Li Jing called several strategists from the General Staff Department together.

Marching staff officer Li Liang, Jiedu Senator Jing Xiang, Jiedu Counselor Gaiyu, and Marching Sima Li Zhen. In addition, several major staff members in charge of other aspects also arrived, including Guo Chengan, the secretary in charge, Li Chun, the judge of Jiedu, Li Rang, the deputy judge of Jiedu, Cui Zhiyuan, the envoy of Jiedu, and Du Zhongwu, the teaching envoy of Jiedu, all of whom were ordered to come.

For the battle to recover Liaodong, Li Jing did not have much pressure.

The Goguryeo people of Jili Prefecture are no longer the kings of Liaodong who have ruled Liaodong for 700 years. The prosperous state of Haidong and the Bohai State lost control of Liaodong early.

What Li Jing really has to deal with is the Khitans, and it is not difficult to recover Liaodong, but it is difficult to confront the rising Khitan after recovering Liaodong.

Before making this preparation, Li Jing didn't want to rush to the Khitans.

"The marshal wants to postpone the dispatch of troops, and a certain agrees!" Li Liang nodded.

Li Zhen also nodded: "The assassination of the Khitan Dierabu is indeed an opportunity, if you can take advantage of it, a civil strife among the Khitans is inevitable." Now, what we need to do is how to maximize this civil strife and fuel them. ”

Gai Yu said: "In fact, you can use the methods of Emperor Wen of Sui to deal with the Turks, use the strategy of division, the strategy of combining the strong and the weak, and the strategy of distant friendship and close attack to deal with the Khitans. ”

"How?"

Gai Yu smiled confidently and said, "The biggest reason why the Khitan is rising so rapidly at the moment is that its four powerful neighbors on all sides, the Uighurs in the west, the Tang Dynasty in the south, the Bohai Sea in the east, and the Silla Four Kingdoms in the southeast have a huge relationship with their rapid decline. Even Tiele and Murowei were much weaker. In such a situation, the rise of the Khitans has no opponent at all, so this rise is inevitable. ”

"But with such a rapid rise, there are still many internal contradictions. For example, at the beginning, from eight parts to twenty parts, the three Yelu became seven parts, and the world became the only one, which also caused the lineage of the Khan to come from the remote tribe, but the Yili Sumire, who held the military power, could only be elected from the Diera department for generations. Especially since Yundeshi, the Khitans have a large number of prisoners of war and slaves, and a large amount of territory has expanded. Especially after occupying the plains around the Liaohe River, they began to shift from nomadic herding to semi-farming and semi-pastoralism, and this change made the Khitan people grow faster. ”

"The assassination of Yun Deshi this time is not only the result of the internal struggle of the Diera Ministry, we should see that Ruthless Deke is also the son-in-law of Bara Khan. Therefore, it can be seen that even the Haruka clan began to see a great threat to the Dierabu, especially to the Dierabu reformists. ”

"What do you think of Jing Xiang?"

"Counselor Gai is right, there is a great contradiction between the Khitan Khan and Yi Lijin, not only between the two, but also between the two tribes. The force of the Diera Department has long exceeded that of the Remote Division. If we can add fuel to the fire, perhaps the internal contradictions that erupted in the Diera tribe due to the assassination of Yun Deshi will most likely be transformed into a struggle between the Diera tribe and the remote tribe. ”

"The Diera Department is strong and the Yao Yuan Department is weak, and the troops of the Diera Department occupy the line of Liaoxi and Liaohe, if we recover Liaodong, the first thing we will face is the Diera Department. Therefore, if we adopt the strategy of combining the weak and separating the strong, and attacking from a distance and close to each other, then we can first join forces with the remote division to deal with the Diera division. Defeat the strongest Khitan Diira Division first! ”

In this way, Li Jing did not have to face the entire Khitan, but only faced one Dierabu. Although the Diera tribe is the strongest tribe in the Khitan, no matter how strong he is, he is only one of the twenty tribes. In this way, the pressure on the Zhenguo Army is indeed much less.

At the beginning, the Sui Dynasty faced the rising Turkic Empire in this way, and finally succeeded in dividing them into two, separating the strong and the weak, dividing and attacking, and the Sui Dynasty only used the smallest amount of strength to keep the Turks in the confrontation between the East and the West for a long time.

Now, what Li Jing needs is just concocted in accordance with the law.

Li Jing nodded, "You may not know the Dao, some time ago I sent Li Wei to the Khitan to look for an opportunity to provoke the civil strife in Diera, of course, his ostensible identity is a merchant in the Central Plains. But this kid is doing well, he has already exchanged 10,000 war horses, 20,000 horses, 110,000 cattle and 200,000 sheep in the Khitan. In addition, during this time, they were still buying war horses, cattle and sheep, various leather goods and ores. ”

"The first batch of war horses and cattle are already on the way, and they also directly built a canning workshop in Khitan, and purchased cattle and sheep to be directly made into canned food and shipped to southern Liaoning."

This news surprised everyone, and there was such a gain.

"Of course, the biggest takeaway doesn't stop there. The biggest gain is that just ten days ago, Yelu Ruthless, who assassinated Yelu Yun Deshi, was cut off by Yelu Pu Guzhi, the son of Yelu Yun Deshi's second brother, on the day when the Chai Book Ceremony was held to take over the position of Yi Lijian!
