Huiyuan, who arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion at dusk, did not expect that his conversation with Gao Yingde would last all night.

And Gao Yingde also gained a clearer understanding of the leaders of several major forces in the world from Huiyuan.

He would naturally have some relevant information, but how could he know it so clearly as Huiyuan, a Taoist monk who could easily enter and leave the homes of powerful people?

After a deep conversation with Huiyuan, Gao Yingde even felt that he could draw a clearer picture of those people in death.

Xiao Ding was tough, unparalleled in military strategy, broad-minded, and good at employing people, so now the Western Army is entrenched in the northwest, resisting the Song and Liao Dynasties with his own strength, and wreaking havoc on the world.

What's even more commendable is that Xiao Ding's mind was quite clear and he was not dazzled by the successive victories in front of him. Instead, he stopped as soon as possible. He even returned the large area of ​​Song Dynasty territory that he occupied on the Shaanxi Road and returned the prisoners.

Countless dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom quickly reached a reconciliation with the two countries, and then concentrated their efforts and headed west.

It is said that there is a bitter cold in the west. Huiyuan doesn't know what it is, and Gao Yingde certainly doesn't know either. However, if Xiao Ding can gather the strength to go west, there must be a reason worthy of his efforts.

The original conditions of the Liao and Song states were similar. They were both established for a long time, and therefore suffered from many common problems. In fact, Dali was in almost the same situation. As the Prime Minister of Dali, Gao Yingde naturally understood this.

Quite deep.

A new regime naturally requires everyone to work together and work together. In an old empire, the hierarchies are solidified. In order to protect their own rights and interests, the vested interests will do whatever it takes to suppress products that may threaten them, regardless of their actions.

Will it corrode the big tree they depend on and collapse it? It’s not that they can’t see it, they just don’t want to lose it.

In Huiyuan's words, the Song Dynasty is still like this. This heavy carriage is running towards a promising road ahead. It is not known when it will collapse suddenly, but it is obvious that the body of this carriage has become loose.

On the road, parts of the carriage were falling continuously.

If nothing changes, one day this carriage will completely fall apart.

As for the Liao Kingdom, there have been some changes since Yelujun came to power. The carriage that was also running towards the abyss began to slow down slowly under the control of Yelujun, and craftsmen were already inspecting the carriage.

There is a problem. If they find out the problem and basically repair the carriage, the foreseeable future is that the Liao Kingdom will regain their glory.

When the outline of all these things gradually became clear in Gao Yingde's mind, his heart jumped lively.

The Song Dynasty Building is about to collapse!

Isn't this a good time and a good opportunity for you?

Dali has no ambition to swallow up half of the entire south, but if it looks at Guangdong, Guangxi and Qianzhou, it won't be a big problem! The key to the problem lies in the timing.

After implementing it now, I can start moving towards Qianxinan.

Xiao Cheng was an indescribable pain point in the eyes of the Song Dynasty. If he captured him, he might be able to make the people in Bianliang extremely happy.

Whether it is Luodian or southwest Guizhou, in the eyes of the big officials in the Bianliang court, they are all hidden places. If they are lost, they will be lost and they will not feel bad about it.

But if I take these places and advance to a higher level in Dali, I will have greater confidence.

When he became the emperor of Dali, he had to work hard, work hard, and build troops. At the same time, he had to wait like a hungry tiger for the most appropriate opportunity to appear.

Dali has the opportunity to burst out with unprecedented brilliance in its own hands.

And you can truly build a lasting legacy.

"Master, tell me about Qianzhou today? You just came over there, and now the Luo Ghost Kingdom is about to start a war with them. I'm very curious about the second son of the Xiao family?" Gao Yingde smiled and knocked on the table.

, Gao Yingxiang, who was having a nap on the other side, gave Gao Yingxiang a quickie, quickly stood up and walked over, filling up the glasses for the two of them.

The appetizers on the table have changed several times!

But the monk Huiyuan had a good drinking capacity. Two-thirds of the wine he was served went into his stomach. At this time, he looked like a normal person, which made Gao Yingxiang secretly say that he was surprised.

"The Erlang of the Xiao family is indeed a strange man!" Huiyuan made no secret of his praise for Xiao Cheng and said: "I have been to southwestern Guizhou before. It is really a barbaric land, and it is so vicious that it is impossible to describe it like drinking blood like a hair.

But I still remember that if I hadn’t been a monk and had some ability to conquer demons and could still run fast enough with the soles of my feet, I wouldn’t be able to sit down and talk to you today.”

"I heard that in order to regain that area, Erlang of the Xiao family killed many people and made rivers of blood flow?" Gao Yingde asked with a smile.

Huiyuan dismissed it: "Xiangguo, do you believe this?"

"Believe half of it!" Gao Yingde said.

"There may be thunderbolt measures, but without the heart of a Bodhisattva, how could southwestern Guizhou have such great governance today?" Hui Yuan said.

"So, now the government in southwestern Guizhou is in harmony with the people?"

"Exactly!" Huiyuan nodded and said: "If Xiangguo wants to attack Qianxinan, he should think twice. The monk came from there, but he feels that Qianxinan now is like a tiger with wings, extremely fierce.

"

Gao Yingde smiled and said nothing: "I have heard that Luo Dianguo'an Guirong is also a fierce man, but he was defeated by the Xiao family's second son. Master, but Dali is not Luo Dian."

Huiyuan sighed: "Has the Prime Minister made up his mind to use troops?"

Gao Yingde stood upright, folded his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen, and said calmly: "It has been some time since the master came to Shanchan Mansion. With the master's ability and his wide reading of people, he must have known that Gao is now sailing against the current.

, If you don’t advance, you will retreat, and this retreat means your wealth and life.”

Huiyuan sighed, shook his head and said: "When we prosper, the people suffer; when we die, the people suffer!"

"Master, since I came to power, Dali has been a leader in politics and people. It's not Gao's boast. These ten years have been the best ten years for the people of Dali." Gao Yingde said: "Master really has a compassionate heart. It's better to think about it.

How can you help me end the war as quickly as possible?"

Huiyuan pondered for a long time and said: "Xiangguo, I came from there. With all due respect, the army under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou now is even more elite than the army of Dali. Xiangguo has heard of commerce.

A federation? Behind Erlang of the Xiao family, there are dozens of large chambers of commerce that support him, and he has no shortage of funds or supplies."

Gao Yingde couldn't help but burst out laughing: "The news about the master still stopped a month ago, right? That's not the case now."

"What does Xiangguo mean?"

"The Luo's Ghost Kingdom has taken action, and standing behind the Luo's Ghost Kingdom is Zizhou Road, and behind Zizhou Road is the King of Chu, Zhao Jing." Gao Yingde said: "Those chambers of commerce have already turned into shrinking heads one by one.

Damn it, Xiao Cheng is about to become the target of everyone in the southwest."

"Is that so?" Hui Yuan said.

"Indeed!" Gao Yingde said: "Master, do you still think Xiao Erlang has a chance?"

"Why doesn't the Prime Minister first sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Huiyuan said.

"I'm afraid that it will be too late to intervene and nothing will be gained. After all, at this time, I don't want to fall out with the King of Chu. Having fallen out with the King of Chu, I have already fallen out with the Song Dynasty. They will never let it go." Gao

Ying De said: "At least I have to take down Luo Dian first. If it falls into the hands of Luo's ghost country, there will be some trouble."

Huiyuan shook his head: "In my opinion, Luo's Ghost Country will definitely be defeated!"

"How can you see it?" Gao Yingde asked.

Huiyuan was silent for a moment and said: "I stayed briefly in southwestern Guizhou and had some interactions with the locals. Let's tell the Prime Minister something about their army. The Prime Minister should experience it himself."

"Want to hear the details!"

"If the Prime Minister recruits troops, should he be docile and disciplined, or be ruthless and tough?" Huiyuan suddenly asked.

"Of course you have to be brave and tough!" Gao Yingde did not hesitate.

Huiyuan said with a smile: "But when the Xiao family's Erlang recruited troops in southwestern Guizhou, he only wanted those who were docile and disciplined. Those fierce bullies, bandits, and bandits were either beheaded by the Xiao family's Erlang, or were sent to settlements.

The consequences of working as coolies are obvious; these people will die quietly in those settlements in the near future."

Gao Yingde frowned slightly.

"Xiangguo, Xiao Erlang relied on these docile and disciplined soldiers to defeat Luo Dian effortlessly. I think An Guirong must have described to you how he felt when he faced off against the opponent." Huiyuan said slowly and authentically.

.

Gao Yingde frowned slightly and couldn't help but regret not asking An Guirong this question. He had always thought that An Guirong was too incompetent, but now it sounded like there was a different story!

"Master, do you think Luo's Ghost Congress will lose?"

"I'm not sure. After all, the Song Dynasty's army also intervened this time." Huiyuan said: "But why don't the Prime Minister take a look!"

Gao Yingde nodded: "Master is right."

I decided to pay attention and take a look, but there was still something to do at the Chen Bing border. Once there was an opportunity, I would intervene without hesitation.

When he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sun had already jumped out from the distant mountain tops and cast down the sunlight. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the reddish garden plate. Huiyuan raised the corners of his mouth and laughed silently.

I bought Xiao Cheng at least half a month to a month.

According to Xiao Cheng's plan, it should be at least big enough.

At this time, Xiao Cheng naturally did not want to start a war with several sides at the same time.

He needs to defeat Luo's Ghost Kingdom at lightning speed, and then turn around and concentrate on dealing with Dali.

As for myself, the next step will naturally be to cause civil strife in Dali.

In the past two years, Gao Yingde has called back the border troops in order to suppress the country. Those who opposed him were either wiped out or disappeared under the suppression and deterrence of the army.

Now, feeling that his position is almost stable, he wants to mobilize the army to build a great cause and at the same time add to his efforts to usurp the throne.

Once the army left, although the opponents were dying, there was a possibility of resurgence.

Are the Dong family, Shen family, and Wang family willing to submit themselves to the Gao family and crawl at their feet?

Will the Duan family of the royal family be willing to wait for the slaughter and wait for death?

Of course not.

There is a lot to be done here!

After going back today, I have to have a good sleep first. There are too many things to do next. According to the list arranged by the Zhike Qing of Tianlong Temple, the head of the Dong family should be visiting me today, right?

By the way, starting from tomorrow, I will also open a free clinic outside the temple!

No matter how busy you are, things like this to increase your reputation must be done.

The greater the reputation of the enlightened eminent monk Huiyuan, the easier it is for him to do what he wants to do!

Dali has been a kingdom for hundreds of years, and the area ruled by Luo's ghost kingdom must have a history of thousands of years, right?

Thinking that these countries with a long history are very likely to disappear in the long river of history in the next one to two years, Huiyuan feels a little sad, but more excited.

Because he is not only a witness, but also a participant, and can even be said to be the mastermind.

After taking a deep breath, Huiyuan held his head high and strode forward in the direction of the sun. Along the road, countless people bowed to him.

Southwest Guizhou, Xifeng.

A little-known place that few outsiders have heard of. There are only about a hundred households in the entire town, but now everyone is ordered to stay indoors and not go out.

In fact, the people here basically don't dare to go out.

Because here, suddenly there were many more heavily armed troops.

For a long time, the army was no different from bandits to the people here. They could both cause them to suffer the heaviest suffering.

It is unusual to see dozens or hundreds of such people, but who would not be frightened to see thousands of such people at once?

There are more than 1,200 people in this group, led by Xiao Cheng himself.

Heroes such as Han Zuo and Fan Yifei are among them.

This is an army that is about to launch a surprise attack. They must quickly cross hundreds of miles in a very short time and deliver a fatal blow to the opponent's heart.

This army is equipped with the best offensive weapons, including a divine arm bow and thirty crossbow arrows.

But one of them put on armor, because they had to cross mountains and rivers. Except for weapons that were beneficial to their offensive capabilities, anything else was a burden.

They want speed and surprise.

As for casualties, they are not considered.

"Now it depends on whether Yang Wanfu, Li Xin, Wang Zhu and others can force their opponents to mobilize more troops from the rear to join the battle!" Xiao Cheng gnawed on the cold steamed buns in his hand and said: "Go.

The more enemies we have on the front lines, the greater our chances."

Target, Dafang City.

They only have one chance to attack. If they fail to succeed in one attack, their opponents will be on guard. With more than a thousand people, it can only be a wishful thinking to attack the city forcefully.
