More than half a year has passed since the war, and a military map was finally placed in the palace again.

This is a map made of cloth, spread out like a big carpet.

"In case Li Xia surrenders to Mongolia and wants to curb his military power, there are several key points."

Jia Sidao held a long staff and walked on the map. He clicked on several locations in succession and said: "Lizhou, Bazhou, Dazhou, Xiangyang. I first mentioned Xiangyang. Lu Wenhuan could lead up to 10,000 troops to trace the Han Dynasty."

Go up the water and reach Hanzhong.

The governor of Bazhou, Xian Gong, and the governor of Dazhou, Cheng Cong, can each lead thousands of troops out of Micang Road and Lizhi Road. The Chongqing government can temporarily control the troops on these two routes.

Although Kong Xian, the governor of Lizhou, recommended Li Xia, Kong Xian has been guarding Yunding City for more than ten years and has a reputation for loyalty. What I am worried about is not him, but Zhang Jue..."

When Zhao Yun heard Zhang Jue's name, he suddenly said "Huh?"

Jia Sidao saluted and said: "Li Xia once assisted in the defense of Diaoyu City. At that time, there was no suspicion between the two. Zhang Jue even sent troops to Hanzhong with Li Xia without authorization, which shows that the two people have a close friendship. Why did Zhang Jue suddenly write a letter to impeach Li Xia? Everyone

Appoint an envoy and deputy envoy? Is it..."

Zhao Yun doesn’t need to listen anymore.

His face darkened, but he still said: "Don't force Zhang Jue to rebel."

"According to your wishes, Your Majesty can order Jiang Wanli to not stop in Chongqing after entering Shu, but to go to Chengdu first to ensure that Zhang Jue does not rebel; then, only when Li Zengbo enters southern Shu, Yi Shiying will not dare to rebel; Xia Gui

Reinforce Chongqing and the situation can be stabilized. If this is not enough, I think that Lu Wende will be sent up the river to ensure that Hanzhong is not lost."

"Is it worth mobilizing so many troops?"

"It's not about Li Xia, but it's actually about Mongolia entering Hanzhong again."

Zhao Yun deeply agreed.

Jia Sidao said again: "Your Majesty should issue another secret edict. If Li Xia receives the edict and refuses to return it, order all the officials in Hanzhong to follow the righteous deeds of Yang Juyuan, Li Haoyi, Zhao Yanna and others in killing Wu Xi."

"Yes, prepare an edict."

"I've talked about military strength, but now I'm talking about money and food. Sichuan-Sichuan army relies on the imperial court to dispatch military supplies. There are three roads in Sichuan and one card. Mongolia can't give Li Xia food and grass and collect his food. He can only rob the people's rations. Your Majesty

Here's the thing: when Lu Wende arrives in Chongqing, if Li Xia still has a grain of grain, it will be because I can't settle the debt with my head, so I'll just chop it off for His Majesty to play Cuju."

…

In fact, although Zhao Yun has never been on the battlefield, he knows military affairs well.

In the thirty-five years since he ascended the throne, he has been fighting almost every year, and he is already one of the people who knows how to fight best in the world.

He knew the military well, so he was able to use famous generals such as Meng Gong, Zhao Kui, Du Gao, and Yu Jie, and he also learned the most profound knowledge of the art of war from the memorials of these famous generals.

Precisely because he understands and can calculate accounts clearly, he deeply understands how much food will be spent on war and how much food will be spent on peace talks?

He needs to consider how long the strategy of "promoting peace through war" should last so as to minimize the damage to the family and people's livelihood...

Due to this kind of foresight, when defending against foreign enemies, we cannot completely let go of our hands and feet.

Therefore, it gives people a sense of cowardice.

Once he was determined to destroy the enemy and put down the rebellion, Zhao Yun became very wise and powerful.

After just walking around the map, he and Jia Sidao decided on the entire strategy.

This war is like this...

But Jia Sidao glanced over and saw that Zhao Yun was still depressed, so he had to say a few words of relief.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Compared with Wu Xi's rebellion, Li Xia is nothing to worry about. The Wu family has controlled Sichuan and Shu for three generations and has hundreds of thousands of troops. It can be said that it is powerful.

However, when Wu Xi rebelled, his shogunate celebrities, Chen Xian, shaved his head and became a monk, Shi Ciqin destroyed his eyes, Yang Zhenzhong committed suicide by taking poison, Wang Yi, Jia Gongchen and others fled; officials under his rule abandoned their posts one after another, such as Yang Xiunian,

Zhan Jiuzhong, Jia Dayou, Li Daozhuan, Deng Xingshan, Yang Taizhi are countless; there are also countless local capable ministers who raised troops to attack, such as Xue Jiuling, An Bing... It can be seen that the hearts of Shu are in the Song Dynasty!

Therefore, Wu Xi's rebellion was determined in just forty-one days, and the power of the three generations collapsed! Now that the three sides have been determined, why fear a mere Li Xia? Li Xia was born in prison and served as an official for only three years. Compared with Wu Xi, he is not as powerful as him.

Just in case."

"I understand."

Zhao Yun took a sip of wine carelessly and said: "Li Xia may not rebel. He is quite loyal. After receiving the surrender, he immediately submitted the letter to me."

Jia Sidao was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, I'm just just in case."

It was really just in case, Zhao Yun knew that things were far from that point.

And what he was worried about wasn't that he couldn't suppress a small rebellion.

In the past, the generals of the Song Dynasty were not easily persuaded to surrender.

But this time it was different. Zhao Yun was really afraid that if Li Xia surrendered to Mongolia, he would bring too many people with him.

Because what really scared him... was Kublai Khan.

It was the praise of Kublai Khan by the scholars in the north.

"If you can practice the Chinese way, you will be the master of China."

"I care about the people, not the barbarians..."

This is digging up the roots of his Zhao family clan.

Zhao Yun knew very well why the Song Dynasty was able to pass through the Liao Dynasty without being destroyed by the Jin Dynasty? Why could the Mongols not go south for more than 20 years? Why did the ministers who rebelled against the Song Dynasty have to betray their relatives and leave?

What Jia Sidao just said is right, because the people's support is in Song Dynasty.

What is the public sentiment?

This is the legal system spoken by scholar-bureaucrats!

Through the letter, Zhao Yun seemed to be able to see Kublai Khan walking out of the envelope, majestic and fierce, and what was even more terrifying was that there was wisdom in his eyes...

Imperial spirit.

When Kublai Khan's imperial aura rushed towards his face, and the words "The world is united" came into view, Zhao Yun could not help but feel extremely fearful.

I was so scared that I was trembling from the bottom of my heart...

~~

Hanzhong, Shuai Mansion.

"You can't underestimate Kublai Khan, nor can you underestimate Zhao Yun. They are the emperors. There are some things that only those sitting on the throne can understand."

Li Xia and Han Qian were chatting when they suddenly said something like this.

With a somewhat self-deprecating tone, he added: "I don't have any imperial energy at all now."

"Alang," Han Qi'an responded.

"No, who among my subordinates can honestly state a legitimate reason for supporting me as emperor?"

Han Qi'an pondered for a moment and said: "Alang is a great hero..."

"Not all heroes can be emperors." Li Xia said: "There are countless heroes in the world, how many are emperors? And among the emperors, how many are heroes?"

"Anyone who founded a country and became an emperor can be called a hero, but there have only been a few dozen people throughout the ages. As for..."

Han Qi'an thought about it and suddenly didn't know where to start.

Li Xia said: "Just now I asked if I could ask to marry Qiaoer when I come back. My husband replied, Qiaoer should serve me. I said, not serve. But I can't tell what it should be."

Han Qi'an said: "I understand Alang's feelings towards Qiao'er."

"not enough."

Li Xia laughed at himself and said: "If I say 'treat her as a wife', I can't say it, because I can no longer give her the title of wife. The title is neither important nor important, I want to give her a title."

…”

At this point, Li Xia was silent for a while before speaking.

"If I found the country and proclaimed myself emperor, I would make Qiaoer a noble concubine."

Han Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Li Xia also laughed and asked, "Isn't it a bit too far?"

Han Qi comforted Xu and said, "I believe Alang can succeed, and I am happy to hear that."

"But you still think this is untrue? Does it sound a little silly? Sir, tell the truth."

"A little bit..."

"Because I lack strength and have no legal system." Li Xia said, "The founding of the country is too far away to be true."

"For the time being."

"Fatong." Li Xia muttered again.

He was deep in thought and talking casually, which was very messy. This was the process of his thinking.

It is also a process of self-learning.

“From what I understand now, the legal system can be compared to ‘confidence’. If one person has no confidence, he can still do things reluctantly, but if tens of thousands of people have no confidence, nothing can be done.
