Chapter 290 The general trend of the world
Xiahou Zhuo has not planned to go to places like Double Star Tower recently because his sister is at home. It would be fine if he was a little more unlucky when his sister was not around before. If his sister finds out that he is now in a place like Double Star Tower, he might not be able to get along with him.
Carriages and horses are on the go.
Li Chi sat on the steps and watched Xiahou Zhuo study the Liuyun Formation diagram, smiling with a malicious smile. Xiahou Zhuo still doesn't believe that Tang Pidian has passed the level.
"Why are you so honest lately?"
Li Chi sat there and asked Xiahou Zhuo, "I won't see you drink anymore, and I won't see you go swimming...Ahem, right?"
Xiahou Zhuo said seriously: "What are you talking about? Drinking? Am I the one who loves drinking? As for where you are talking about going, how do I know what you are talking about?"
While he said, he secretly looked at his sister sitting on the other side chatting with Gao Xining and the others, and then glared at Li Chi fiercely.
Li Chi smiled and said, "Well, I forgot, you are not a bit of wine, right?"
Xiahou Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, I basically never drink alcohol, nor do I go to messy places, keep myself clean and be upright."
Li Chi seemed to be very serious and asked: "Then, this kind of righteous person, what do you like in your daily life?"
Xiahou Zhuo said: "Read, write, and play chess."
Li Chi smiled and said, "Then do we want to play a game of chess?"
Xiahou Zhuo was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Let's go another day."
Li Chi: "Ah!"
Xiahou Zhuo glared at him again: "Don't talk nonsense anymore. Can you tell me some serious things, such as this Liuyun Formation Map, how many levels have you passed?"
Li Chi said: "It's over."
Xiahou Zhuo was stunned. He narrowed his eyes to Li Chi and said, "A good person suddenly started to blow his face."
Li Chi said: "I didn't lie to you. Shortly after Tang Pidian passed the level, I also learned all the changes in this Liuyun Formation Map. If you don't believe it, you can try it. I remember every level of changes in my heart. If you enter the Liuyun Formation Map, you can dodge according to what I taught you, and you can easily pass it."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "Then let me try... If this thing doesn't pass, I feel a little unwilling to accept it, especially since you and Tang Pidun have passed the level. If I can't pass it, wouldn't it seem that I am inferior to you?"
Li Chi said: "Just try it, there are actually rules."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "Okay, look at it."
Li Chi responded and called his master to control the Liuyun Formation Map. The long-browed Taoist sat down behind the Formation Map, looking at Xiahou Zhuo with a playful look on his face and said, "Actually, I don't really recommend that men who have not married often play this, it's not good."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "Old man, you wanted to make this ruthless enough. Did you want to destroy your only successor, Li Dadiu?"
The Taoist Changmei said seriously: "He is okay, not as stupid as you."
Xiahou Zhuo: "..."
He stepped into the Liuyun Formation Map and said, "Then let you see if I am really stupid."
Li Chi sat on the steps not far away and watched, and spoke from time to time. Not to mention, he really remembered it with great accuracy. With his guidance, Xiahou Zhuo did not avoid an attack on the crotch.
I fell down suddenly and was all over.
Li Chi scratched his hair and said embarrassedly: "I can't blame me for this. Master, have you changed the array diagram again?"
The long-browed Taoist sighed: "Even if I change it, I can't beat him so accurately..."
Xiahou Zhuo came out of the Liuyun Formation Map with a grin. He glanced at Li Chi, and Li Chi hurriedly said, "I really didn't expect that this old guy was so cruel. In order to hurt you, he changed the array map again."
Daoist Changmei: "Xahou, this is a grudge between you. Although I am an elder and cannot be involved in random things, there is a saying that I still want to say, this is not my cause, and if it is me, I will really not bear it..."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "Wait for me to cultivate for a moment..."
Early this morning, Yu Chaozong took his men back to the north. He was worried that something would happen to the camp. As the eldest brother, as the lord of the village, it would be better if he was not in the village for a long time.
Ganggang and Chen Dawei followed him to Yanshan Camp, but Yu Chaozong left behind a hundred fierce scouts and handed them to Gao Xining, but everyone knew about this, but they did not tell Li Chi.
Even Yu Chaozong did not tell Li Chi, but only said that he would leave a hundred more people to better protect everyone.
Of course, Li Chi would not be too careful. He did not expect that Gao Xining would go to Yu Chaozong for them, and this team of 100 people would be completely handed over to Gao Xining for training.
Yu Chaozong came this time and gained a lot. They discussed how to seize Jizhou in the future every day. Tang Pidi attached great importance to the advice given to Yu Chaozong, so after he returned, he planned to select elite personnel and send them to Jizhou in batches.
Although Yanshan is the foundation, if you don’t have big plans, you want to always occupy the mountain and become king in Yanshan. This is naturally enough. But if you want to go further, it is imperative to seize Jizhou.
However, Li Chi's idea was not to seize Jizhou as soon as possible, but to wait for the opportunity. This opportunity might come soon, and maybe two or three years later.
This is not something they can decide, but it depends on the general trend.
Prince Yu's troops were unstoppable. People in Jizhou still didn't know what was happening in the capital, and this was because the aspiring new emperor Yang Jing deliberately blocked the news to the north.
He knew very well how ambitious his uncle in Jizhou had. This ambition could not be controlled. The only way was to destroy this ambition.
In order to deal with Prince Yu's uprising, Yang Jing was recruiting troops to expand the army and promulgated a new policy, and handed over all the troops to the most warlike Prince Wu, waiting for battle south of the Chihe River.
Emperor Yang Jing had already formulated a strategy for how to deal with his uncle. If the news of the destruction of the Yuwen family and the news of his ascension to the throne and emperor were released, Prince Yu would have been determined to retreat.
If he were an ordinary person, he would deliberately send the news to the northern border. In this way, Prince Yu would not dare to easily cavalry and then find an opportunity to get rid of Prince Yu, which is to slowly plan.
But Yang Jing is not an ordinary person. He knows what kind of methods to treat Da Chu now. If the disease is too serious, you have to use strong medicine. If the medicine is given more severely, you can cure it faster.
And his uncle, Prince Yu, was the first dose of his prescription.
The governors from all over the country were eyeing each other, and they all wanted to get a share of the pie, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous for the time being.
The governors of the Thirteen Prefectures were all magistrates of the border, and all the princes with more than 100,000 troops under them. If they wanted to make these people frightened, they would need a dose of strong medicine.
Yang Jing's plan was to use the head of his uncle Prince Yu Yang Ji to sacrifice to the sky.
Tempting Prince Yu to send troops, then defeat him in one fell swoop, and then chopping him up. This incident is enough to shock the governors from all directions. Those guys should think about it. What are the emperors who dare to kill their uncles?
Moreover, the people arranged by Prince Yu in the capital could not send the news back. The people who could send him the news were from the Yuwen family. Even if they were not from the Yuwen family, they were related to the Yuwen family and hid in the capital and needed the protection of the Yuwen family.
The Yuwen family has collapsed, Yuwen Chonghe was wiped out, and the people arranged by Prince Yu in the capital were caught by the emperor in one go. After a few arrests, they could provide the others, and then follow the clues. The most important thing is that Yao Wuhen surrendered to Yang Jing, which exposed all the people arranged by Prince Yu in the capital.
Yang Jing is a talented and stubborn person. He knows how to cure the disease of Dachu. He just hopes to give him more time, because this disease does not mean that the medicine is strong enough to cure the disease.
Medicine is just a means, and another means take even more time, that is, to cut out the rotten meat from the giant Da Chu, but if you cut it at the same time, it will hurt Da Chu to death.
Yang Jing needs time, and he uses a very gentle way of taking the knife one by one. He must do one by one, that is, it is too late to get rid of those people he wants to get rid of.
In three years, the plan that Yang Jing made for himself would take at least three years to kill some people, scare some people, and spend three years to stabilize the situation in Da Chu.
As long as he can stabilize it, he will not need three years, but at least ten years.
If he is given another ten years, he will be able to cut off all the rotten flesh on Da Chu's body, without leaving any piece. From the beginning of planning to seize the throne, he has actually thought about what to do in the future.
But what he feared the most was that time didn't wait for him.
Of course, Prince Yu didn't know that he was the first knife his nephew was going to use, and he was still dreaming of spring and autumn.
In addition to fighting a war, there are two natural barriers that need to be broken through.
The first is Chishui. If you can't cross the Chishui River, everything is a dream. The second is Nanping River. If you can't cross the Nanping River, the prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River will be full of mirrors and water.
But what Prince Yu didn't know was that Yang Jing's plan was actually much more careful than him, and he had already planned where to defeat him.
At this moment, Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Prince Yu looked at the high-ranking officials and nobles present. These people can now be regarded as his parents of food and clothing. When the army went to war, they had to ask for money and food.
"Everyone."
Prince Yu said: "I have said a lot just now. I have some other things to do. The Jiedushi has some things to say to you. I will deal with other things first and will come back later."
He waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to send him out, then looked at Zeng Ling and said, "You come and continue to discuss matters with you."
Zeng Ling and others quickly stood up and sent Prince Yu away.
After Prince Yu left, Zeng Ling smiled and said, "Actually, what I want to say next is a good thing for you, and you all have seen that the people invited by the prince today are all heavy in Jizhou. The prince has to rely on you to send troops, so naturally he must express his opinions."
He paused for a moment and said, "I'll just say it straight. After sending troops, if you take down a state, you will naturally have new state officials. Let's just say it bluntly. If the state officials donate more than two dollars, you can recommend one person to govern the government, followed by the prefectural chief, the procurator, the prison..."
At this point, I have already said it very clearly. Prince Yu wants to sell official positions and use the money from selling official positions to do military expenses.
The people here have similar identities. They are all not short of money at home, but not many of them are officials, including many big businessmen, and these people dream of becoming officials.
Zeng Ling knew when he saw the expressions of those people that there would definitely be countless silver coming in today.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and in his eyes, these people were all fat sheep.
Be an official? Go dreaming.
