In the late summer, Li Li, who hurried back to Poyang, was still busy, both busy with business and private affairs.

Needless to say, there are many private matters.

Zhao Mengniang gave birth to a son not long ago, so Li Li now has two sons, one legitimate and one illegitimate son, for "double insurance".

But when the two sons were born, he was not by his side, either doing official duties or on the way to kill people.

In the morning, at Junzhai, Li Li was talking to Zhang Ying. He was holding a heavy copper ore in his hand. He looked carefully and Zhang Ying congratulated: "Congratulations to Junhou, the copper ore trial mining was successful."

Li Li put the copper ore on the case: "When do you think this gift will be better to present to His Majesty?"

"I think the time has not come."

Zhang Ying claimed to be "under" rather than "under" because his actual relationship with Li Li was not superior or subordinate. Li Li asked: "How do you say this?"

"The king is now twenty-four, but he has made great contributions many times. He is like a newly built knife, extremely sharp, but if he uses it too much, he will easily collapse."

"If Your Majesty intends to cultivate the king and for the long-term plan, I'm afraid that the next step will be to put the knife in the sheath for a while."

As Zhang Ying said, he picked up the copper ore: "Why can you give me a gift at this time?"

"It is the duty of the minister to solve the urgent needs of the emperor. I would not be able to end the matter with such a great gift?"

Li Li asked knowingly, and Zhang Ying smiled and said, "The king is not a prince. Such filial piety is just a favor for others."

"Great rebellion, great rebellion!"

Li Li smiled and scolded, now there was no ears across the wall, so the two of them were a little unscrupulous when they talked.

Zhang Ying was right. If a huge copper mine appeared in Le'an, then the emperor would definitely be in charge of Poyang with the prince and hold the wealth in his hands.

As a result, Li Li, who had worked hard to explore for several years and had a preliminary understanding of the ore veins, was extremely rewarded after presenting the gift, but there was no affordability.

How can that work?

Although it is necessary to mine Le'an's large copper mine on a large scale, it is impossible to hide it from the court, but in practice, as a tree planter, Li Li should enjoy the fruit instead of being left aside.

Since the time is not ripe, Li Li won’t say much. After all, he is too young and is not a royal family member. He has made continuous contributions now. If he keeps it, he may not be rewarded in more than ten years.

Three years have passed, and Li Li made progress in his career with his military achievements, from the General of Light Che (Martial No. 24) three years ago to the General of the current General of the Army (Martial No. 27).

The promotion will be promoted from informing the attendant of the Sanqi (class 11th rank) to the attendant of the Sanqi (class 12th rank).

The fief of the family increased from 2,000 households to 3,000 households.

The position of the Imperial Guard was promoted from General Ranger (Terminal rank 10th rank) to General Left Guerrilla (Terminal rank 11th rank). It is said that he wanted to stay in the palace, but after Li Li returned from Xiangyang, he was unable to enter the capital to stay in the inner guard of Poyang.

So it's just a job.

The Shaofu Chief who served as the concurrently serves has been removed, because the situation in Le'an has been opened up in Xinping, Poyang, and he does not need to worry about it.

If Li Li continues to make great contributions now, he will probably have to protect himself in more than ten years, return home after he is sick and return home, and be a rich man who is addicted to wine and sex.

This is Zhang Ying's concern, and Li Li of course also knew that it was natural that he was "scavenged in the sheath" next.

But he is unwilling to give up. He can't steal the limelight so much, but it doesn't mean he can't do things, because even if he doesn't want to "progress", his partners need "progress".

"Now, the court lost Yi, Liang, but Mianbei, Huainan has stabilized. As long as you guard it, you can live a peaceful life."

Li Li raised the topic and found a way to 'pull the project': "Where you see, you want to break the deadlock, where should you start?"

"Either Shu or Huaibei." Zhang Ying replied, "That is to say, the country's territory was restored in the first year of Taiqing, of course, Mianbei was added."

"However, the court has not been able to catch up. I think it is not easy to withstand the Wei State's offensive and defend Mianbei. It is not easy for the Junhou to convince His Majesty to take the offensive."

Li Li continued: "I have an idea. You can think about it and see if it is feasible."

......

In the afternoon, Li Li, who came to visit, saw Liang Sen's excessive indulgence and wanted to laugh, but he still held back.

Newly married, dry fire, that's it!

The three-year agreement expired, and Liang Sen brought Yang from Jiankang to Poyang. Because Yang had no relatives, Li Li's mother Wu regarded him as her goddaughter and was the only one who could be her parents' home.

The wedding was held in Poyang. Although it was relatively simple, there was no shortage of etiquette. Liang Sen married Yang with dignified manners.

Yang mourned for three years for her husband and returned the relationship between the couple. Liang Sen waited for the other party for three years, which was enough to show his feelings. The two became husband and wife, and it was natural.

Afterwards, the newlyweds stayed in the door. Considering that Liang Sen was as strong as a cow and was full of energy, the bride probably couldn't even stand steadily for a while.

"Work harder and have a son soon."

Li Li said this, Liang Sen was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so Li Li threw a map over and asked the other party to take a closer look.

Liang Sen looked at it and was fascinated.

"I think offense is the best defense. Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to attack, defeat the enemy, and suppress the opponent's counterattack."

Li Li said while drinking tea: "Now, suppose you are in charge and want to break the deadlock, which direction do you think should you choose to break the deadlock?"

Liang Sen thought for a while and replied: "I think the defense is the most stable, defending Mianbei and Huainan are the ones for the court.

The best choice.”

"What about Wei State? The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop." Li Li asked, "The court wants to be stable, but the Wei State, which lost the important land in Mianbei, may not necessarily want to be stable."

"In the north of Mianbei, it is easy to attack but not to defend. In my opinion, it is better to serve as a starting point for offense than as a barrier."

"The country that occupy this territory should take an offensive, or at least strategically, show off an offensive, otherwise it would be a waste of resources."

"At that time, Hou Jing rebelled against the Eastern Wei, and the Western Wei immediately went out from Mianbei to rob Henan territory and occupied Yingchuan, and the Eastern Wei immediately came to attack with all his strength."

"However, the Battle of Mangshan in the Western Wei Dynasty was too bad to be reinforced by Yingchuan. Therefore, Yingchuan was defeated after defending alone for a year."

"Later, the state of the country was in a civil turmoil, and the Wei State immediately advanced eastward from Mianbei to rob Sizhou from Miandong, and then went south to rob Xiangyang and Jiangling."

"Now, this land is in the hands of the court, and it is too wasteful to keep it blindly. Even if the court only has the strength to keep it, it should not be shown truthfully."

After Li Li said this, Liang Sen gradually became enlightened: the troops stationed in Mianbei should not be huddled like turtles, but should move.

At least, it seems that he is planning to move somewhere.

Only in this way can we restrain the State of Wei and even the State of Qi.

The purpose of engaging the other party is not to invade the other party's borders and expand territory for one's own side, but to be more conducive to defending one's own territory.

Li Li talked to Liang Sen on the map: "I think there are several ways to defend, among which, the investment cost of preemptive defense is relatively low, but the benefits are relatively the greatest."

"For example, before the enemy gathers troops and is about to attack, our side will attack first and disrupt the opponent's attack deployment, so the opponent's attack will be gone. Isn't it better to be on guarding the enemy's territory and resist?"

"Simple defense is carried out on your own territory. Not to mention anything else, when fighting, the fields on your own territory will no longer be planted. Even if you finally defeat the invading enemy, your grain harvest will be affected."

"Take Mianbei as an example. If the enemy invades year by year, the grain output of Mianbei will definitely be very low. You have to transport grain from Yongzhou, Jingzhou and Sizhou. This consumption will be quite large."

"If we attack and make other countries a battlefield, then the farmers in Mianbei can farm calmly without being affected by the war, then the grain output in Mianbei will be enough to feed the garrison and even supply the troops that attack foreign countries."

"It is better to attack instead of defending the defense than to defend the whole country, and to fight at other people's homes, and to fight at your own home. Even if you keep your home, the jars and jars at home will be broken, and the one who suffers the greatest losses will not be yourself?"

The reason why Li Li did this today was to encourage Liang Sen to use his brains and think about strategies. Liang Sen understood it, but felt embarrassed: "Strike from Mianbei? Where can I fight?"

"It's not easy to walk on the north and west, but the south is my own home, only the east..."

Speaking of this, Liang Sen looked at Li Li in horror: "Cunfeng, what are the imperial courts doing to provoke Qi? It was finally difficult to save Huainan at the beginning of the year. Now Wei is going to counterattack Mianbei, and we are still provoking Qi?"

"If you do this, won't you be beaten up by these two countries?"

Now, it was Li Li's turn to look at Liang Sen with a horror expression: "Wow, I heard you say that, it seems that the court has not been beaten up by the two countries now!"

The rebuttal made sense, and Liang Sen was speechless.
Chapter completed!
