I have money and food in my hands, so I don't feel panic at all.
Luo Youdu made a plan to conquer Lingnan with the Privy Council that day.
Luo Youdu had early correspondence with Pan Mei.
Pan Mei may be inferior to Cao Bin in running the army, but his strategy is undoubtedly better.
When Luo Youdu and Cao Bin divided Jiangnan and Bashu, Pan Mei in Hengyang was not idle either.
In addition to defeating the invasion of the Southern Han Dynasty, he continued to send people deep into the Southern Han Dynasty to win over the powerful people of the Southern Han Dynasty.
Compared with the benevolence of the Qian family of Wu and Yue, and the extravagance of Li Jing and Meng Chang, the Southern Han Dynasty, the only remaining fruit among the ten kingdoms, is much more bizarre.
To put it bluntly, Yelang is arrogant and thinks he is strong.
When Guo Rong was in power, he initially planned to make good friends with the Southern Han Dynasty. He was unwilling to send troops to the remote Lingnan area. He thought it would be a matter of spreading the word, so he sent envoys to make good friends with the Southern Han Dynasty.
As a result, Liu Sheng, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty at that time, flexed his muscles, pointed at the jasmine flower that was not common in the Central Plains, and said: "This is called Xiao Nanqiang."
The implication is that although I am a small boy in the Southern Han Dynasty, my national power is very strong, and I look like I am dissatisfied with the Central Plains.
This is also the reason why Guo Rong and Luo Youdu have been causing trouble for Nanhan.
It wasn't that they repeatedly used Nan Han as a bargaining chip to intimidate, it was Nan Han that had an attitude of disobedience from the beginning.
Therefore, both Guo Rong and Luo Youdu had the idea of teaching the Southern Han Dynasty a lesson.
In addition to being arrogant, he is also extremely cruel.
Let's not talk about Liu Sheng who slaughtered his brothers and nephews like animals and took his niece as his concubine. Let's just talk about the current Liu Yuan.
Especially his unprecedented "inside person" system.
He believed that only those with pure six roots were worthy of trust, because ministers who could produce offspring would refuse to be loyal for the sake of their offspring.
Therefore, only those who are willing to marry themselves for him are qualified to become concubines and be reused.
If foreign officials wanted to interfere in the affairs of the DPRK, Liu Yu would encourage them to castrate themselves.
In history, because of this strange system, the number of eunuchs in the Southern Han Dynasty finally exceeded the 20,000 mark, reaching a historical peak.
However, history has changed now. Liu Yun is still Liu Yun. He still places great emphasis on eunuchs and believes in the "inner" system, but the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty are no longer the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was in the third year of Kaibao and attacked the Southern Han Dynasty in 970 AD.
But now it is only 961 AD, eight years ahead of history.
After all, any normal person would not have the urge to be cruel to his little brother.
Only a few official fans or people with congenital problems would respond to Liu Yuan's call.
In the future, perhaps because there are too many people to be cut off, people will follow the local customs, and it will become natural for them to do so, so they will feel that it does not matter. But now in the Southern Han Dynasty, officials from top to bottom are still very resistant to this kind of behavior of seeking official positions from the palace.
There are only three to four thousand eunuchs in both the government and the public, which is far from the peak.
Liu Yuan was also a stubborn ass, and he would not give you a high official position if you were not a eunuch, which caused resentment among many normal people who were unwilling to commit suicide.
Pan Mei secretly contacted and instigated these officials who stood on the edge of interests and had one thought to become a Buddha. They had already made full preparations to capture the Southern Han Dynasty.
If not for the obstruction by Dou Yi and others, Luo Youdu would have issued the order for the southern expedition.
Pan Mei was well prepared and had food and fodder in place, so naturally there was no need for ink.
Before setting off for the expedition, Luo Youdu specially summoned Qian Hongchu, Liu Congxiao, Shen Huzi, Shen Nian, and Cui Renji to talk about Annan Jiaozhi.
There is no doubt that Annan has been China's inherent territory since ancient times, just like Dali.
Luo Youdu had long wanted to attack, but just like Dali, the situation was even more complicated than Dali.
Annan is a place dominated by Han people, and the scholars in Annan have always regarded themselves as Han people.
But most of the people in Annan were barbarians, and the number of barbarians was extremely large.
Generally speaking, the Han culture has influenced the surrounding areas and assimilated the surrounding barbarians. Then the Huayi family has become one family, and everyone is their own people. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine.
But there were too many barbarians in Annan, far exceeding the local Han people.
Therefore, in history, Zhao Guangyi sent his troops to conquer Annan in order to bring shame to the Xue Gaoliang River.
This... let the Khitan get beaten up, so why seek revenge from Annan?
Don't dare to say, don't dare to ask.
But the result is shame upon shame.
After the failure of the southern expedition to Annan, the last bit of Han influence in Annan disappeared.
Immediately, it was inevitable to integrate with the local people. The most intuitive manifestation is that the common spoken language changed from Jiaozhou Chinese to Yue Mang language.
The language is different, and so is everything else.
From the Song Dynasty, Annan and Jiaozhi officially separated from China. Although the Ming Dynasty general Zhang Fu once recaptured it, the people's support had been lost. The local area had long since disowned the Central Plains of China and rebelled. This directly dragged the Ming Dynasty into the quagmire of war. Even heroes like Zhu Di There is no way.
In the end, Zhu Zhanji gave up Annan in order to escape the quagmire, and Annan was no longer owned by the Central Plains.
Now the Han people still have a certain influence in Annan, and Luo Youdu has no intention of repeating the same mistake and regaining Annan.
However, Luo Youdu knew better that recovering Annan required an opportunity and the support of the local Han people, and it was not something he could just take.
The population there was mainly barbarians, but most of the core scholars were Han Chinese.
Without the support of the local Han people and taking it by force, 80% of the time, like the Ming Dynasty, they would directly confront the local barbarians and fall into a quagmire of war.
Although it won't fall into the same situation as the Ming Dynasty, it won't end well either.
After all, the real enemy is the Khitan.
Annan can wait, but Khitan cannot wait.
If you have a chance, you can intervene, but if you don't have a chance, forget it. We'll talk about it after we finish the Khitan...
Liu Congxiao had already told Luo Youdu a lot about Annan's situation.
But it was mentioned on a temporary basis and was not comprehensive enough.
After Liu Congxiao returned, he summarized some of the situation in detail and said: "I told your Majesty about the rebellion of the Twelve Envoys in Jiaozhi before. I went back and thought about it, and I thought of a person named Ding Buling. This person is brave and strategic. In particular, King Wu Changwen of the Southern Jin Dynasty of Jiaozhi, known as the King of Ten Thousand Victories, and King Wu Changqi of Tiance led their troops to attack, but they were unable to defeat the leader of the Ding tribe. Now this leader of the Ding tribe is the most famous hero in Annan."
Shen Huzi said: "When I was drinking with the envoy from the Champa Kingdom, I heard him talk about this Ding tribe leader. The envoy from the Champa Kingdom prophesied that the one who conquers Annan must be the Ding tribe leader."
Luo Youdu was not very familiar with the history of Annan and had never heard of Ding Buling, but he knew that there was a Ding Dynasty in Vietnam.
From this point of view, this Ding tribe leader is likely to have a close relationship with the Ding Dynasty.
Luo Youdu summarized some information about Annan, and after summarizing the situation, he personally wrote a letter to Pan Mei, detailing the key to the matter.
Then he was given the power to make his own decisions.
Pan Mei is on the front line and knows the situation best.
Luo Youdu was not wary of generals. Many of the generals around Pan Mei were his close confidants.
But when it comes to defense, he never interferes with the commander's decision-making power on the front line.
