Although Yang Shihou's methods are a bit vicious, sometimes the method of massacre of cities is not considered to be a close enemy force. It is indeed simpler, rough and effective...

Li Tianqu thought in his heart that Yang Shihou, who has now turned to Wang Jian, should be able to gain a foothold in Shu Kingdom with this battle. Dachang and the country have not been established for a long time, and there are many internal instability factors. Under the counterattack of the Shu Kingdom army with famous generals such as Yang Shihou as the vanguard, it now seems that it is just a group of mobs.

However, if Shu Kingdom fights southward, the territory includes Yunnan in later generations, and even the mountains of Dachang and the country in northern Myanmar overlap, with forests as wild as the sea. Until later generations, beasts and poisonous animals are rampant, miasma and malaria are raging. If you are not very familiar with the local terrain, you may still suffer a great loss.

Therefore, Li Tianqu was worried that Shu would seize a large area of ​​territory when counterattack. However, although the Daechang Hokkaido was stealing chickens without eroding rice, it was possible to ask Shu to withdraw its troops by cede land, surrendering, and seeking peace, or to migrate southward and use the terrain of the original forest to fight guerrilla warfare to continue to resist. However, no matter what, the large area of ​​territory north of the Daechang Hokkaido should not be preserved.

Dayang and the king of the country, Zheng Maisi, were originally the version of Zhu Wen of Nanzhao. He killed the throne and was criticized. Even if he survived this crushing defeat, even if he survived for a while, the time for the collapse of the regime he established would inevitably accelerate greatly.

The chain reaction caused by the changes in the current situation was that after Shu repelled the invasion of Dachanghe Kingdom, he went south to conquer the Ji territory belonging to southern Sichuan and northern Yunnan. Li Tianqu was happy to see this. After all, Shu must have recovered and returned to the Central Plains dynasty sooner or later. If he could successfully take over the entire southwest territory under the rule of later China, there would be no need to worry about sending troops and launch wars on the outside.

The imperial guards returned to Bianjing, and Li Tianqu handled state affairs as usual, but focused on military and political aspects. Since he had beaten Gao Yu and Li Zhen, he no longer focused on the movements of the ministers in the court to form cliques.

In the eyes of the Bianjing court officials, Li Tianqu was indeed limited in his energy in the past. Moreover, he was a warrior after all, and it was easy to be a good emperor who worked diligently for a few days, but for more than ten years and decades, it was really difficult to handle state affairs in all aspects. Therefore, some powerful ministers who had other unspeakable intentions, seeing that the Emperor of Wei relaxed the control of the court, began to move again, and began to move again, intending to win over the party and the interests of the group.

Of course, this is Li Tianqu’s beginning to pretend to be confused, waiting and watching him stay out of trouble, if he stays out of trouble, such as Gao Yu, Li Zhen and others, still want to use their power for personal gain, eliminate dissidents, form cliques and fight for power... How much can they make a fuss?

As for other officials, nobles and ministers who were in the political arena of Wei, Yan Keqiu has been transferred to the position of Zuo Pushe, and Fu Cunshen took over the position of Privy Council Privy Council. However, Yan Keqiu, who is resourceful and good at power struggles, is very low-key and has a relationship with other colleagues in the court. He has never heard of who he is closer to and who he is in conflict with;

Wang Shifan is still in his early thirties and had a dispute with Gao Yu and Li Zhen before. However, in addition to handling his duties on daily basis, he likes to recite poems and essays, and talks about scriptures and Taoisms with Zhao Kuangning, who is also obsessed with collecting books. It seems that he has no intention of building the party for personal gain and developing his own power in the court;

There is also the Persian minister Li Xun, who was the concubine of the emperor, who was also a member of the Persian minister. In addition to attending the court to assist in government affairs, he studied pharmacology every day and recorded books. As a representative of the Huajian School, he was obsessed with making poems and fu in his spare time... With Li Xun's temperament, there are too many hobbies to cultivate sentiments in private, and it seems that he has no intention of seeking greater power and is involved in the whirlpool of the court's political struggle;

However, when Zhang Quanyi, the top leader in agriculture and civil affairs, assisted Li Tianqu in conquering the world, he was certainly diligent and did not dare to neglect. However, now he is respectful and has become accustomed to being generous. Now he seems to be increasingly lazy and lazy. Just as his historical trajectory and temperament changes, people will inevitably change. At first, Zhang Quanyi was a diligent and loving the people, and was praised by the people. However, he was lazy and careless in handling government affairs in the later stages. According to historical records, he would also have the bad deeds of slandering and killing his opponents.

Li Tianqu watched coldly, noting that although Zhang Quanyi was corrupt, he should have become older, lazy, and indulged in pleasure, but his ambition to fight for greater power still seems to be less than Gao Yu and Li Zhen. Even if he encouraged farming and sericulture, governing and comforting the people, he could quote it, considering Zhang Quanyi's previous achievements... When it was time to settle the accounts after autumn, he would strip him of his certain title and status according to his crimes, and he would do what he wanted and sent him to be a idle minister who had no real power but had no worries about his livelihood;

Other court officials such as Han Jian, Zhu Jian, Luo Shaowei, Liang Zhen, and Li Tianqu were still watching their movements, while those who were observing secretly were still focused on Gao Yu and Li Zhen.

On the side of Bianjing, the secret spies of the Patrol Guards Department became more and more active. However, when Zhang Xiao, who advocated intelligence agencies, came to report to Li Tianqu again, it was about the information found by Liang State.

"Your Majesty, because Liang Guo was the first Jiedushi of Zhenguo Army, Yang Shihou, who led his troops to guard Tongguan, led his troops to flee southwest during the previous battle and went to surrender to Shu. After two coups, the Liang Guo court and even the local vassal states and passes have undergone changes. Now Li Yanhui has been transferred to Tongguan and take over the position of Jiedushi of Zhenguo Army."

Li Yanhui? Why haven’t I heard of this person’s background?

Li Tianqu was stunned at first when he heard this title. However, after Zhang Xiao reported that Li Yanhui was the son of Liang general Li Shiyue, he slapped his forehead and quickly recalled that he had served as a general under the command of Zhao Quan of Chenzhou. After the great military fight against Huang Chao, he also worked with the governor of Shi Pu, who was still in the influence of the army, and led his troops through Wanqiu of Chenzhou.

Originally, Li Shiyue was ordered by Shi Pu Shuai, and he was about to join forces to kill Huang Chao and succeeded... Of course, Li Tianqu would not forget that at that time, he broke out from the road and snatched the great achievements of killing Huang Chao. He was named a military governor for his merits, which can be said to be the beginning of his pursuit of hegemony.

However, Shi Pu, who was supposed to kill Huang Chao, was not only unable to be granted the title of Prince for his merits, but his achievements were above Zhu Wen and Li Keyong... Li Tianqu said that Li Shiyue was also the victim of his cheating, and he was not transferred to Huzhou because of his contribution. Although he was caught between Yang Xingmi and Qian Li, his power was preserved and later he was granted the important position of Jiedu by the Tang court... He had to continue to serve under Shi Pu until Li Tianqu and Zhu Wen jointly attacked the Shi Pu's army, causing Shi Pu to burn himself and surrender to Xuanwu's army when he was defeated.

According to Li Shiyue's original life, it seems that he did not live past 900 AD... and his son Li Yanhui took over Tongguan, guarded by Yang Shihou? It seems that the Liang Kingdom is really no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king...

While Li Tianqu was thinking in his heart, Zhang Xiao showed a playful smile on his face, and then said:

"Your Majesty, the secret spies in Chang'an have also found some secrets about Li Yanhui... His father Li Shiyue died early, and his widow was born beautiful. It was rumored in the alleys that Zhu Wen had seen it earlier, and the secret spies inquired and confirmed according to the words circulating in the market that they were not only Li Yanhui's mother, but also his wife whom he married frequently entered and left the imperial city when Zhu Wen was reigning..."
