Li Yuanjing glanced at Li Yuansheng with a half-smile, and then said, "Father, from this point of view, we must send more troops to the border of the Southern Barbarians!"

When Hui Bo heard this, he immediately said: "His Royal Highness Hanxi Wang once followed Dingyuan General Wu Chengqu to station at the Nanman border, he is very familiar with the terrain there, why not send His Royal Highness Hanxi Wang there. His Royal Highness Xi Wang once studied under the old general Wu Chengqu, so he will definitely be able to act as a deterrent!"

Cheng Zhen thought for a while, and felt that there was some truth in Hui Bo's words, so she said to Li Qian, "Your Majesty, the National Teacher's proposal can be considered."

Li Qian glanced at Li Yuansheng, but said nothing.

Li Yuansheng said: "Father, my son thinks that Baipo, the soldiers stationed in the Northern Wilderness, will not attack us for the time being!"

"Why? Let's hear it." Li Qian was startled when he heard this.Not only Li Qian, but also Li Yuanjing, Hui Bo, Cheng Zhen, and Liu Yuzhu were taken aback, and all of them focused their gazes on Li Yuansheng in an instant.

"Do you think, why didn't the Northern Wilderness form an alliance with the Western Yi, instead of crossing the Western Yi and forming an alliance with the Southern Man?" Li Yuansheng looked at the crowd and asked.

"I don't know." Everyone said truthfully.

Li Yuansheng said: "The Nanman is connected to our Panxi, while the Xiyi is sandwiched between the Northern Wilderness and the Nanman. According to the current situation, the next target of the joint attack of the Northern Wilderness and the Southern Man will be the Xiyi instead of our Panxi." Creek."

"What? What kind of logic is this?" Cheng Zhen looked at Li Yuancheng in shock, and said, "Your Highness, can you speak more carefully?"

Li Yuansheng nodded slightly and said: "The purpose of the Northern Wilderness can be roughly speculated in this way. They first helped the Thai Gu Kingdom to dominate the Southern Man, and then took advantage of the loss of troops to recruit directly from the Southern Man, so that even if they fought, they would not lose the Northern Wilderness's own vitality. Let's talk about the Southern Man Soldiers have a great advantage over soldiers from the Northern Wilderness, especially when fighting against the Western Barbarians. The Northern Wilderness and the Southern Barbarians attack the Western Barbarians, and the Western Barbarians have no power to fight back."

"What about after that? Will Beihuang and Nanman attack Panxi together?" Cheng Zhen asked.

"No. The Northern Wilderness will take advantage of the situation to annex the Southern Man." Li Yuansheng said.

Liu Yuzhu couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, Beihuang has already entered into a marriage agreement with Nanman, how to annex Nanman?"

Li Yuansheng said: "It's a very good deal for a princess to exchange for the entire area of ​​Xiyi and Nanman!"

Li Yuanjing and Hui Bo couldn't help being surprised when they heard Li Yuansheng's analysis.

Cheng Zhen said: "Your Highness, why do you say that the Northern Wilderness annexed the Southern Man?"

Li Yuansheng explained: "In order to strengthen my strength and get rid of my worries, it will be better to kill me in Panxi!"

"It means that after Beihuang eliminates Xiyi and Nanman, there will be no one to help me in Panxi, and then it will be easier for them to fight a protracted war!" Li Qian suddenly interjected.

Li Yuancheng smiled and said: "What the father said is very true."

Li Qian looked at Li Yuancheng with eyes full of admiration, and said, "Cheng'er, you came up with all of these?"

Li Yuansheng smiled lightly and said: "I am ashamed, I only thought that the marriage between Beihuang and Nanman might attack Xiyi, but I didn't expect that Beihuang would annex Nanman and fight against me again in Panxi."

Li Qian asked, "Then who came up with this idea?"

Li Yuansheng said: "It's a general under my son's command."

"Could it be General Yunhui, Yun Yike?" After Liu Yuzhu finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuansheng, saw him nodding, and couldn't help but said happily: "General Yunhui can make strange moves every time, this idea really jumped out of everyone's daily thinking! "

Li Qian pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "The General Yunhui you are talking about is the young man who was entrusted at the court?"

Li Yuansheng and Liu Yuzhu said in unison: "Exactly."

Li Qian smiled and said, "Such a talent cannot be neglected!"

"Yes." After hearing this, Li Yuansheng hurriedly responded, with a smile on his lips.

After hearing this, Li Yuanjing twitched the corners of his mouth in disdain.Hui Bo stood aside calmly, his face full of indifference.

Li Qian looked at Li Yuansheng again and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Li Yuansheng said: "Father, we have to write a letter to Xiyi as soon as possible, so that they can prepare in advance, so as not to change the owner of Paidu. Then we will send heavy troops to guard both the north and the south, one of which will be stationed at Lannipo, The other side's heavy troops are stationed in Handing, which borders the Nanman. As long as the Nanman and Beihuang jointly attack the Xiyi, we will send troops to disrupt their plan! Now, keeping the Xiyi is the best way to maintain the current situation. means."

After hearing this, Li Qian applauded and said, "Well said. Don't tell me, this idea is still that of General Yunhui!"

Li Yuancheng smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's mostly what he thinks."

Li Qian nodded his head and said with a smile, "Okay, Cheng'er, I will do as you said. The national teacher, the two generals, and the crown prince, have you all heard?"

Although Li Yuanjing was dissatisfied, he still said "yes" to Hui Bo, Cheng Zhen, Liu Yuzhu and others, and quickly exited the imperial study.

Li Yuansheng was about to leave, but Li Qian called him softly.

Li Yuanjing stepped out of the imperial study room, but he did not see Li Yuansheng. Looking back, he found that Li Qian had left him behind, and he felt resentful in his heart.

After watching everyone leave, Li Qian signaled his attendants to close the door of the imperial study, and said to Li Yuansheng, "Cheng'er, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Yuansheng originally thought that Li Qian would blame him for not being able to control his subordinates enough to drink and have fun on the anniversary of his grandmother's death, but he didn't expect that Li Qian would ask him about his hard work as soon as he opened his mouth. Not hard."

After hearing this, Li Qian smiled slightly, waved to Li Yuansheng, and said, "Come here, sit beside King Father."

Hearing this, Li Yuansheng stepped forward with his long legs, walked to Li Qian's side in a few steps, and sat down with his head bowed.

After Li Qian looked at Li Yuansheng carefully, he said, "Cheng'er has grown taller, but she's also lost weight and darkened. Staying in the army will never be as comfortable as Huidu!"

Li Yuansheng raised his eyes to look at Li Qian, but said nothing.

Li Qian continued: "The Battle of Lushan made you wronged!"

Li Yuansheng asked softly: "Father knows?"

Li Qian sighed, "Of course this king knows."

Hearing this, Li Yuansheng couldn't help but excitedly said: "Since father knows, why didn't you send troops to help? Lushan was really almost captured by Beihuang. Father, if Lushan was really captured by Beihuang, then what should we do?" ?”

Li Qian stretched out his hand to hold the back of Li Yuansheng's hand, and comforted him: "Cheng'er, you have been in the army for too long, and you don't know the situation in the court. At the beginning, the king really wanted to increase troops, but every time the reinforcements came They were all slaughtered and died on the way. I have sent out twice, but I dare not send again, for fear of hurting you!"

Li Yuansheng was surprised and said: "Father, you are the king of Panxi, who else would dare to oppose you on the land of Panxi?"

Li Qian smiled, with a helpless expression on his face, and said: "As a king, in the eyes of most people, that is the supreme position, the master who can decide the life and death of others at will."
