Chapter 68: Each has a plan

Li Ze's son Li Anguo is quite satisfied with the fact that he can take charge of Chengde in front of the land of the earth, so he hates all actions that try to change the status quo.

Lu Long's Zhang Zhongwu was ambitious and wanted to do something the emperor took turns to do. He naturally hated the things he came to my house this year, but he had to deal with them actively, because his territory of Chengde was close to Lu Long. If Zhang wanted to be the number one person in the world, of course, he had to climb up on Li Anguo's shoulders.

How can this make him happy?

Li Anguo knew very well what kind of person Zhang Zhongwu was. In comparison, Li Anguo would rather stand on his head was the current Emperor Li Yan of the Tang Dynasty. He was a person who had great ambitions but had serious lack of action. Zhang Zhongwu was different. He was a typical guy who dared to think, did, and those who followed me would prosper, and those who defied me would perish. Working for such a guy would naturally be far worse than working for Li Yan.

But now the court's reaction made Li Anguo undecided again.

If only Gao Pian contacted and directed everyone to fight against Zhang Zhongwu, Li Anguo felt that there was no problem at all, but the significance of the imperial court sent direct troops and horses was very different.

If you carefully calculate your strength, Hedong Jiedu, Zhenwu Jiedu, Henghai Jiedu, and he became the De Jiedu, the strength of the four Jiedu governors combined. Not to mention crushing him, Zhang Zhongwu, but it is not wrong to be able to win in terms of strength. If you add the left and right guards of the imperial court, Zhang Zhongwu would probably have no play to sing.

The question is, what will happen in the future?

Everyone worked together to kill Zhang Zhongwu completely, and then what should I do?

Gao Pian is a foolish and loyal person. He will definitely do whatever the court asks him to do. Li Anguo is also aware of this. If Zhang Zhongwu is killed in the future, the court will inevitably have a great power. At that time, it would be easier for the court to take advantage of this east wind to deal with them, the local emperors.

I just need to use the trick I used to deal with Zhang Zhongwu now to promote you and then call you back to Chang'an. Will you go?

Don't go? You want to rebel! The fate of Zhang Zhongwu is yours.

go?

Then go to Chang'an honestly to be a bullshit general or a scattered official like a purple gold and light doctor, and stay in Chang'an with a little pitiful salary? I'm afraid that any official in a small yamen will bully you!

Zhang Zhongwu wants to fight, but he must not be beaten away. This is not good for everyone! Just teach him a lesson of his vigorous ambitions.

This is the common idea of ​​several other military governors, including Anguo Lee.

Therefore, they would never want to see the direct troops of the court coming in.

Of course, these reasons are naturally not allowed to be on the table or publicly stated, but this does not prevent them from trying all kinds of ways to obstruct them in private. Who doesn’t have many relatives and friends in Chang'an? They all started to sing the opposite tune.

Singing the opposite tune naturally cannot hinder the emperor's determination, so you must keep up with the actual actions. The easiest thing is that the local area will not provide you with food and grass.

We have done our best to fight against the rebels for the emperor. The people are already in vain. If we come with an army of tens of thousands of people, the people will rebel!

It is not impossible for the imperial army to come, but you can have food, grass and supplies to bring your own food, grass and supplies, and you can also ask your Majesty to recruit them together and come with the army. You dare not harass the local area.

In order to express the local concerns about supporting tens of thousands of imperial troops, the petition of the people of the People naturally needs to be carried out, and there are also several local riots. Anyway, the court has released the censors under the rule of various military governors. The last memorial of these people explained the difficulties in the local area, which made the emperor think twice.

A fierce operation!

Then the emperor hesitated and became scared.

The Jiedushis were opposing, and he did not want to make a betrayal of all relatives. Besides, if the people really rebel again, the consequences would be extremely terrifying. The scars left by the peasant uprising that swept the entire Tang Dynasty a few years ago still made the Tang Dynasty achievable. These Jiedushis were also the products of that peasant uprising.

If you really do it again, will the Tang Empire still exist?

After listening to Wang Mingyi's story, Li Ze smiled bitterly.

This is the current situation. Everyone has their own interests and demands. It seems that the general direction is the same, but when it comes to each person's requirements, it will be very different.

Or the big men in the court did have such a thought, first sweeping Zhang Zhongwu, and then taking advantage of the power to cut off the powerful Jiedu. Standing on his Li Ze's position, would he be willing to lose this overwhelming power? Of course, he doesn't want to. Once he is not a Jiedu, he can still be leisurely here as his small rural landlord?

Any small official can deal with what he doesn't want.

"Or Zhang Zhongwu saw clearly that the Tang Dynasty still looks like it is still a unified pattern, but it has actually fallen apart, so he has the courage to jump out, right?" Li Ze said. "Before the battle has begun, everyone has already planned to do it. He originally had a chance to win at seven or eight points, but now he probably only has five or six points. Then everyone is having a small conflict, or because of uneven distribution of spoils, it will be a bit less, then Brother Wang, why do I feel the coldness in my vest? I think this time is so bad!"

"Young Master is too worried." Wang Mingyi didn't care much, "Everyone just doesn't want the direct troops of the court to come in. It's easy to ask for gods but difficult to send gods. The four major military governors have enough troops to deal with Zhang Zhongwu."

"It's enough in terms of military strength, but Zhang Zhongwu's subordinates are united. We are each on our own small plans. Can we be the same?" Li Ze spread his hands and said.

Wang Mingyi shrugged, "In my opinion, no matter how many people don't think about driving Zhang Zhongwu out of his hands. According to his uncle's intention, the governors wanted to get Zhang Zhongwu hard and grab some territory from him."

"So that's it!" Li Ze was very familiar with this routine.

Wang Mingyi continued: "So, the war I thought would have to be delayed for at least a year. Now, because the court intends to send direct troops to come, it has changed. Everyone is ready to launch an attack first. As long as the war goes well and wins a few consecutive games, the court will no longer have the position of sending troops in for huge sums of money."

Li Ze sat upright all of a sudden, "In other words, after spring soaring tomorrow, the war will officially begin. Do Gao Pian know about this?"

"I will definitely not tell him. This guy is loyal to the emperor. If he lets him know about this, he will definitely stop it. So this was decided by the secret contact between our Chengde, Henghai and Zhenwu families. When the matter starts, Gao Pian will have no choice but to cooperate with everyone to send troops together."

"Does Mr. Gongsun know?"

"Mr. Gongsun knows it, opposes it, but it is invalid." Wang Mingyi said.
