Prime Minister take care

Chapter 227: Offensive and Defensive Trends
Lianghou Mansion.

A huge topographic map was placed on the table, with Huan Wu standing in front of him, followed by dozens of generals on both sides.

"Lord, this is the detailed terrain of Yizhou."

Huanwu wanted to conquer Shu, but as a child of a noble family who grew up in Yizhou, Li Yu was placed in his important position, and he has been very high-spirited recently.

He stood in front of a group of Liang generals and introduced the situation in Shu to everyone.

"There are four roads from Yongzhou to Yizhou, Micang, Quegu, Baichuan, and Shiyang. When entering Shu, one must take Quegu. However, due to wars, this road was abandoned for many years. It has been repaired several times, but it is not as good as before. Enter The road to Shu turns from the Magpie Valley Road to the Micang Road. As for the other two roads, they are too dangerous and congested to be suitable for marching."

What Li Yu said is basically something that all Liang generals know.

Huan Youji was a little impatient, looked at Li Yu who was talking endlessly, and interrupted.

"We all know these things. What we want to know is whether there are any weaknesses within Shu that can be exploited."

Li Yu bowed his hand to Huan Wu and said, "I have been in Shu for many years and later joined my lord. However, I always pay attention to the news of Shu. I can say that there is no weakness in Shu."

The generals looked solemn, but they heard Li Yu explain.

"After Yang Xian took control of the political affairs of Shu, he eliminated the three aristocratic families of Li, Huang, and Zhang, and took the Yan family as private slaves. He went to the southwest to conquer the southwest, and accepted the king of Yi as his family dog. Later, he connected Liang and Jing, and formed the power of two families, thinking that Foreign aid. Yang Xian's troops controlled the Long Road in the west and Yongshui in the east. They also used the establishment of the Zhechong Army as an opportunity to abolish the family soldiers of the Yizhou clan. The monks in Shu were weak, and the Dongyang Sect and Netherworld Prison surrendered early and were loyal No two. It can be said that the current Shu Kingdom is completely controlled by Yang Xian alone. Moreover, no one can shake it. "

Huan Wu nodded. He knew that what Li Yu said was true, but he was a little confused.

"In the Kingdom of Shu, the power of the Xia family is not small. I heard that although the current King of Shu is young, he is very smart. Can she tolerate Yang Xian like this?"

It was Yang Xian who reduced the number of imperial troops in the Shu Palace on the grounds of eliminating the old and the weak, but there were still [-] troops.The imperial army of the Shu Palace is controlled by the Xia family and is an independent force.

Thinking of Xia Gong Nie, Li Yu couldn't help smiling.This sudden smile looked very embarrassing in this solemn military aircraft. Li Yu felt out of control and offered his hand to Huan Wu to apologize.

"My Lord, Yang Xian can deceive everyone in the world, but he can't deceive me. That King of Shu, Xia Gong Nie, is so stubborn that he is not a master. For the sake of so-called orthodoxy, Yang Xian spread rumors everywhere, saying that Xia Gong Nie is a man of benevolence and filial piety. You, you are really the most ridiculous person in the world."

Huan Wu really didn't know this. His espionage force was actually very weak in Shu.Not much is known about the internal news of Shu.

"The more fatuous and tyrannical a monarch is, the less he can tolerate the dominance of his ministers. How about that summer palace nirvana?"

Li Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Return to my lord! I don't know what tricks Yang Xian played. Although the Lord of Shu is naughty, he obeys Yang Xian's words. In fact, the relationship between the two of them is very close."

Huan Wu originally thought that Xia Gongnie was a pawn that could be used. As she got older, she would definitely not be willing to succumb to Yang Xian.As long as you grasp it properly, you may not be able to use this as an opportunity to attack Shu from within.

In Huan Wu's heart, he still had doubts about Li Yu's words.After all, when Li Yu left Shu, that Xia Gong Nie was only five or six years old.Now nearly four years have passed, and as Xia Gongnie grows older, her desire for power will gradually increase.

After all, Huan Wu didn't believe in his heart that there would be a monarch in this world who would let his subordinates be so indulgent.Just like Xia Yunming, even if he was trapped in the first palace, he still caused huge trouble to him.

Prime Minister's Mansion.In the study room, Yang Xian was writing on the desk.Xia Gongnie lay down next to the table, looked at Yang Xian with her big eyes, and applauded twice when she was done.

"Well done, Xiangfu!"

Yang Xian looked at it, felt dissatisfied, crumpled it into a ball and threw it away.Xia Gongnie ran over, picked up the paper ball, and threw it into the bamboo tube with waste paper nearby, as obediently as a little baby.

"Why is your Majesty interested in watching your minister practice calligraphy? Isn't this what Your Majesty hates the most?"

Yang Xian glanced at Xia Gongnie and saw that the other person was licking a smiling face with fat breasts.

"No way? Nier has always been the best behaved. Nier always remembers her father's words and usually practices calligraphy well."

Saying that, Xia Gongnie looked around to make sure there was no one there, then followed Yang Xian to make a report with a sly look on her face.

"My father-in-law doesn't know that during the days when you went to Shendu, people always said bad things about you to me. They said you were another Huan Wu, and they said you were so powerful and self-centered. When I heard that, it was fine. They wanted to Isn’t it that those who rebelled against me are going against me? If they are going against me, they are going against Shu. If they are going against Shu, they are going against the Great Zhou. If they are going against the Great Zhou, they are going against the millions of people. As enemies. How can they be good people? So I wrote down their names and brought them here today."

Xia Gongnie took out a crumpled piece of paper that had been hidden for a long time from her sleeve and handed it to the table.

Looking at Xia Gongnie who was about to praise me, Yang Xian had never noticed that this little girl was so good at criticizing her?
"Your Majesty, how can this be done under the rule of a human being? As a king, you must listen to what others say and don't just listen to them. The content on this piece of paper is not for the ministers to read."

Yang Xian put the crumpled paper close to the candlelight.The flames burned, and the paper quickly turned into black ashes.Yang Xian gathered it up and poured it into the bamboo tube.

Xia Gongnie was a little disappointed. It was in vain that she had spent so much effort hiding it for so long. She thought Yang Xian would be very happy.

Yang Xian touched Xia Gongnie's head, took out a candy from the small box on the side, threw it upward, and Xia Gongnie took it into his mouth lightly.

"Prime Minister, all generals are here to discuss military affairs under the orders of the Prime Minister."

On the corridor outside the house, a servant walked to the door, leaned over and held it in his hands.

"Your Majesty, you are old now and should know something about military affairs. Please stay and listen!"

Seeing that Yang Xian wanted to keep her here to listen to those long military affairs, Xia Gongnie's ears pricked up and she shook her head repeatedly.

"Father, you are in charge of these matters. How can Nier be worried? By the way, the little mouse seems to have told me that there are still many government affairs to be dealt with, so I will leave first!"

Xia Gongnie patted her chest and said with a smile: "After all, I am a good king who always thinks about the people of Shu!"

After saying that, Xia Gongnie walked away so fast that no one was left in sight.

At this speed, except when grabbing food, Yang Xian had never seen Xia Gongnie run so fast.
