Chapter 710 Di Renjie understands

what he thinks

After entering Qingzhou City, Wang Ping'an went directly to the governor's mansion and asked the servant to go to the county government to find Di Renjie, but the servant replied that Di Renjie had not left and was now in the backyard, talking to the master and his wife!

Wang Ping'an immediately went to the backyard on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although the Wang family had no relatives in Qingzhou, they were not deserted. The officials' families took turns to greet Wang Youcai and Yang. After one wave, another wave came. The old couple of the Wang family were even busier than Wang Ping'an and were busy receiving gifts!

As soon as Wang Ping'an entered the house, there were dozens of people inside, all of whom were the families of the officials. I don't know what time it was, Hulala all stood up and shouted in a lingering voice: "Prince, good New Year..."

There was almost no place to stay in the house. There were all women in gorgeous clothes, both young and young, and young, and young, only three or four years old. Those with family members were watching Wang Ping'an and blessing Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an was immediately happy. Good guy, I've been living together for several lifetimes. All the women in the officialdom of Qingzhou have come to my house! He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, no. Everyone is our own people, don't be so polite, less polite, more intimate."

Wang Youcai was sitting in a daze with sweat on his face. He didn't like this kind of lively scene, especially when he was about these women, he felt nothing to say, but he didn't ask the gift-giver. People would come to greet him during the New Year, and people would give him things in a big bag, so he could not just say a few words and just drive him away. In the embarrassing moment, he saw his son coming back.

Wang Youcai stood up and said, "Ping An, why are you back so soon? The King of Wu didn't keep you for food?"

Yang happened to be the opposite of Wang Youcai. She said she was impatient with such a lively occasion, but she was really happy. She didn't like to listen to anything in her life, but she liked to listen to flattery!

Yang smiled and said, "It is a ritual for the King of Wu to keep food. My son doesn't keep it, but it is also a ritual for the King of Wu. You can't disturb the King of Wu too much!" She knew at a glance that Li Ke did not leave his son for dinner, so she quickly looked for steps to avoid embarrassment from his son.

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "If you stay, the King of Wu naturally wanted to keep his son for dinner. He also specially called the dancer from Goguryeo to perform dance to his son. His son saw the dance, but he didn't like the tone of Goguryeo, so he said goodbye in advance and came back to accompany his father and mother."

The woman in the room hurriedly said, "Oh, the King of Wu attaches great importance to the prince, and even invites you to watch the singing and dancing!"

In the past, they rarely saw Wang Ping'an. Today, they finally could say a few words, so they naturally refused to waste opportunities. After a flattery, they started to write thousands of flattery. The house was full of chaos, and they were all praising Wang Ping'an. It was a mess. I don't know what the point of their flattery was, but they just chose nice words.

Wang Ping'an felt a little headache, had difficulty breathing, surrounded by women, and had a sign of hypoxia. He smiled and said perfunctorily, waved to Di Renjie in the crowd, and shouted: "Xiao Di, come out, I have something to say."

Di Renjie hurriedly passed through the crowd and squeezed out. Wang Ping'an said to the women again: "Everyone, if you don't dislike it, you must have dinner in our mansion today and have a good New Year. There is no Goguryeo singing and dancing in our house, but how many singing and dancing in Chang'an can be sung to wish you all the ladies and ladies!"

The women were very happy. They were really lucky in this wave, much better than the previous waves. They actually caught up with the governor's house for dinner. This time they could stay in the house for a longer time. Maybe they could set up family tree and get along with the prince's family!

Wang Ping'an took Di Renjie out of the house and went to the secluded place in the back garden.

Di Renjie said: "Brother, you see that there is a worry in your eyes, but when you meet the King of Wu, he will make things difficult for you again?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "He asked me a big problem." Seeing that there was no one around, he told everything that happened to Li Ke.

After hearing this, Di Renjie was startled and silent for a long time before saying, "Brother, this plan must have been made by the Goguryeo people for the King of Wu. It could not have been made by the King of Wu himself. Moreover, the person who came up with this idea is of great level. It should have been made by people like the prime minister for the King of Wu!"

Wang Ping'an asked: "Who is the prime minister of Goguryeo? I don't know that there are such people in Goguryeo!"

Di Renjie said: "You can't call it the Prime Minister, it should be called Damolizhi. He was a man named Yuan Gaisuwen. He belonged to the same type as Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms and was quite domineering. He killed his former King Goguryeo and dismembered the king. If it were to be said to be vicious, it was far superior to Cao Cao. At least Cao Cao was always a Han minister on the surface, and he always was very polite, righteous and shameful."

Wang Ping'an said oh and remembered it. It seemed that there was a Goguryeo named Yuan Gaisuwen, who was quite powerful. He fought his life to resist the attack of the Tang army. It was not until he died that the Tang army destroyed Goguryeo.

"If this person came up with the idea, it should be quite amazing." Wang Ping'an said.

Di Renjie frowned and said, "This idea has no effect on Goguryeo. They can take advantage of it no matter how you do it. For my Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you have to attack Goguryeo again. On the contrary, the Goguryeo people are conspiring, which gives us an excuse to conquer. It's just that the King of Wu is pitiful. He is the only one who will be unlucky in the whole matter!"

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. Brother, you have to know that the King of Wu went to Yingzhou, but he had territory. If he had a good business and the help of Goguryeo, even if he could not enter Chang'an, he would always become a powerful vassal in the area. It would be very difficult to deal with him!"

He thought to himself: "If I were sent to conquer, that easy thing would have to become difficult, and he would not be able to use troops at all!"

Di Renjie said, "Brother, this is a bad word. What a person Wuji Gong is? Even if he really agrees to change the title and King Wu becomes King Liao, he still can't do it. Even if he has territory, what can he do? Even if he handed over several border troops to King Wu, he still can't do it. On the contrary, the more soldiers, the faster he will be. If he wants to manage the territory well, it is just the wishful thinking of the King of Wu!"

Wang Ping'an scratched the back of his head and said, "How can you tell me this? You have to know that there are Goguryeo people behind the King of Wu, and Goguryeo people will support him!"

Di Renjie yelled and laughed: "Brother is really a big shot now. He always thinks about things from a high place, but forgets to think from a low place. As long as Duke Wuji cut off the food and supplies of Yingzhou and then sent the Youzhou army to harass Goguryeo, not only will the King of Wu cry, but even the Goguryeo people will cry!"

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "I really don't know much about Yingzhou. However, Qiu Tingxuan also knew about this today. He said that I am very likely to become a person to conquer Goguryeo. If this is true, then I have to think about it clearly in advance so as not to send troops and return home in a big defeat. That would be too boring."

Di Renjie stood up and walked around the garden a few times, stepping on the snow, making a creaking sound. After a while, he came back and sat down again, saying, "This is very likely. Brother, you don't have to worry too much about this. Yingzhou has been through wars and the situation is even more dangerous than Zheliu County. No matter what, Zheliu is located in a hurry. As long as the people's hearts are stable and the caravans can move back and forth, they can regain their vitality and become prosperous again, but Yingzhou will not do it."

He drew a picture on the table and said, "Yingzhou is closest to Goguryeo, but I did not trade with Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty. If the people there wanted to make a living, they could only rely on farming. However, there were frequent wars and wars there were not knowing when the war would start again, so most of the people moved away. In this case, if the King of Wu wanted to raise troops, the military rations could not be self-sufficient, and could only rely on military farming."

Wang Ping'an pointed to the map and said, "Goguryeo is so close that as long as they don't harass Yingzhou, the military farming in Yingzhou will surely be effective in less than a few years."

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Brother, you forgot that if you want to farm, you must first have the people. Only with the people can you have soldiers and generals. How could Goguryeo support the King of Wu and let him raise enough soldiers? If you spend a lot of food, grass and money, gather the people of my Tang Dynasty, raise the army, and support the King of Wu, then the King of Wu will turn against you... The Goguryeo people dare not take this risk. If you change to your elder brother, you will not agree!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "The Goguryeo people support the King of Wu for a limited number of reasons. They are afraid that their wings will become hard, which will pose a threat to Goguryeo. They cannot fully trust them."

Di Renjie said: "Yes, that's it. The best way that the Goguryeo people can use is to send their own people to Yingzhou, use Yingzhou's products, and raise Goguryeo soldiers. This will not only control the King of Wu, but also enhance its strength. In fact, it is equivalent to adding more land in Yingzhou!"

"In fact, even if Yingzhou is busy with land and soldiers, it is still the people of Goguryeo, and they are the soldiers of Goguryeo." Wang Ping'an understood a little. He was not thinking about these things carefully enough, but as soon as Di Renjie said that, he knew the tricks.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "The Goguryeo people cannot use Yingzhou. As long as the Goguryeo people move to Yingzhou, the Youzhou side will send troops!" He pointed to Youzhou in the south of Yingzhou and said, "And my Tang Dynasty will immediately use this as an excuse to fight again."

Wang Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fighting Goguryeo is the established policy of my Tang Dynasty. It only requires a reason to start a war, and the second is to waste the people and cause money, and the expenses are too high. If the war starts in Youzhou, then I will have nothing to do."

Di Renjie said, "Brother, why are there nothing you have? If the war started in Youzhou and my Tang Dynasty did not intend to use a large number of troops from the beginning, then the war in the Eastern Expedition would have to fall on you. Not only did it have to do with you, but you were also the first to lead troops to the expedition!"

Wang Ping'an said, "How can I see this?"
