After meeting Gai Yu, Li Jing went directly to the Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, went to the Qingche Duwei, the Prince's Young Tutor, the Zhenzhao Sima, the Anton Protectorate Sima, and the Pingzhou Governor Li Zhen.

Li Zhen has been in charge of the construction of the Liaoxi Corridor and the construction of the Zhuxin City in Yingzhou in western Liaoning. He received an order yesterday and returned to Dengzhou. He was also very surprised to see Li Jing arrive. The two entered the living room of the mansion and sat down. After the servant took the tea, he waved away the miscellaneous things, and the two slowly savored the tea.

Li Jing knew very well about his civil and military personnel. Ru Gai Yu had no feelings for the Tang Dynasty. If Li Jing opposed the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely be the first to jump out to agree. For example, Zhang Chengye, he was naturally the one who was most loyal to the Tang Dynasty under Li Jing. In addition, Li Zhen and Li Liang brothers were considered extremely traditional counselors. They were dedicated to assisting Li Jing, but they were also loyal to Li Tang.

After all, the Li Zhen brothers are just like the concepts of many scholars and aristocratic people at present. The power of Li Tang is no longer the same as before. In their hearts, these scholars and wealthy families are actually pursuing a social state that is as beautiful as the time of autumn.

They were all willing to respect Li Tang as the co-lord of the world, but they did not want to be just a minister of Li Tang, but they hoped to rule the world with the emperor. In this world, Li Tang was the co-lord of the world, but they were also governed by the vassal states and the aristocrats as nobles.

But when it comes to anti-Tang Dynasty and directly proclaiming kings and emperors was something that many aristocratic and literati and military generals did not accept. Their reason was that the Li family should sit on the dragon throne. Then the various vassal states were like princes, and the nobles of aristocrats also enjoyed great power.

Li Jing is a vassal state with self-respecting troops. No one will object. The Li Zhen brothers represent the concept of most soldiers and they will support Li Jing. But if Li Jing wants to be the emperor and rebel, many of them will not support Li Jing.

No matter what Li Jing intends, first of all, he needs to achieve unity within the vassal states. Only when internal unity can he deal with foreign enemies.

"A few days ago, Gao Pian sent an envoy to call our town soldiers to go south to suppress the bandits. Is this arousing?" Li Jing knew Li Zhen's concept, and also knew that Li Zhen's concept represented the concept of most people in the town.

"The plan to send troops to Goguryeo is in the near future. This matter has been prepared for this for a long time. Now that Goguryeo can be destroyed in one fell swoop, the opportunity cannot be missed. Recovering Andong is a major event for the country and the people. Gao Pian told our army that although there were any inappropriate aspects, no matter which aspect it was, it should not change the previous plan to attack Goguryeo." Li Zhen said his true words. He was very clear about Gao Pian's military mobilization, and of course understood the meaning behind it. But he did not say that, but focused on the meaning of recapturing Goguryeo. What he thought in his heart was still unwilling to see Li Jing also approaching the fierce opposition at this time.

"What Xingxu said is common sense. But there are exceptions to this matter. Li Jing, who is in Dengzhou, is also devoted to the court. But now the traitors in the court are in power and blinds the emperor's eyes. After repeated provocations to Dengzhou, it is because we were too tolerant in the past that people thought we were weak and bullied. Therefore, I thought that if we wanted to avoid such things happening again and again in the future, my town would have to make a stand. I planned to pay one million guan to the court in August and another one million guan to the court in November. Everything was based on the quota of two taxes, plus a total of two million guan of salt and iron tea tax in September and October. In addition, the monthly contribution of one million guan was cancelled."

Li Jing also thought about it carefully and said it together. Seeing Li Zhen frowning and pondering, he said again: "Originally, I wanted to give more money to the emperor, but after giving it this money, not only did I get a reward, but some people thought that my town was really full of gold and silver, and there was no place to spend it, so I had to speak out. Since that's the case, we will follow the court's legal system. The sixteen states pay two taxes, money and grain a year to be converted into two million chunks, plus two million in salt, iron and tea tax, and a lot of 4 million per pen to the court."

"About Gao Pian's military mobilization?" Li Zhen asked.

"My town is not under Gao Pian's command, so I naturally ignore this chaos." Li Jing had already planned to give the court a reminder and stop paying tribute. Give the court some time first, so that the soldiers of the town would be more clear. At the same time, Li Jing also needed time to fight the Battle of Goguryeo. At this moment, he naturally did not plan to send troops south. If there were fewer soldiers, he might be used as cannon fodder by Gao Pian. If there were more soldiers, he would affect the Liaodong battlefield.

When Li Zhen heard that Li Jing had no other plans, he just stopped paying tribute, he put down a big stone in his heart. What he was most worried about was that the young general would be self-concealed after winning a series of great victories in Liaodong and Liaoxi. If Li Jing wanted to send troops to teach Gao Pian a lesson, this would inevitably make him worry.

Since ancient times, the citron that has stood out has rotten first.

Although Li Jing's strength is the strongest among the towns, it does not mean that this strength can be invincible in the world.

Thinking back to the beginning, Li Xilie, the governor of Huaixi, attacked Liang Chongyi, the governor of the East Shandong Road of Shannan, who quelled the rebellion, and was named the Prince of Nanping, and was extremely powerful. However, when the court appointed him as the governor of Ziqing and Pinglu, and Li Na, the governor of Ziqing who fought against the anti-Tang Dynasty, he secretly colluded with Li Na and colluded with the rebellious Hebei vassal states Zhu Tao, Tian Yue and others. He claimed to be the Marshal of the World and King Jianxing. After conquering Bianzhou, he directly called Emperor Chu.

Huaixi Town where Li Xilie was located was a powerful town in the world at that time, especially the same strong towns in Ziqing and Hebei as allies. However, in the end, Li Xilie and the towns in Hebei were all defeated by the Tang army. The three towns in Hebei finally surrendered, and Li Xilie, who was the emperor, was poisoned by his generals.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the three towns in Hebei became weaker and weaker. Even several powerful anti-Tang vassals such as Huaixi, Ziqing, and Shannan East Road were destroyed without exception.

The Shatuo people were also very strong, but they were destroyed by the Tang army.

In Li Zhen's view, the people of Li Tang, who had been in power for three hundred years, are still in their hearts, and the people of the world still regard it as orthodox. At this time, any vassal state that raised the flag and opposed the Tang Dynasty would not be supported. Even if there were 16 states and 200,000 soldiers, it would be difficult to stop the attack of dozens of towns in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhen was determined to consider the capital, but was really afraid that Li Jing would be arrogant and rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

Zhen** is currently in Liaodong. In fact, it is largely due to the banner of the Tang Dynasty. If the banner of the Tang Dynasty was not available, it would even become the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Then the tribes such as Bohai, Xi and Tatars would definitely change their attitudes. Even if they were not enemies with Li Jing, they would definitely not support Li Jing anymore. Similarly, the Khitan and Youzhou Army would definitely take action against Zhen**.

The most important thing is that as enemies of the Tang Dynasty, where will the goods in the workshops in the town be sold? Where will the population be replenished and where will the grain be purchased? A town that relies on industry and commerce will soon fall into trouble as long as it is blocked by the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this is just the worst case. Perhaps, Li Jing was able to lead the town to sweep the Central Plains as if it had swept Liaodong. But in Li Zhen's view, this situation is not available at all.

Seeing that Li Jing's attitude was very clear, Li Zhen finally calmed down and felt very relaxed. He nodded repeatedly and praised: "The general said it is reasonable and said it is reasonable."

After talking with two important counselors, Gai Yu and Li Zhen, Li Jing gradually had an idea in his mind.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Li Jing was in a good mood and notified the mansion during lunch and asked the whole family to have a meal together.

Although the Li family only has Li Jing's branch, when they get together, there are dozens of people living together.

Li’s mother, Han, and Li Jing’s wives and children, were extremely lively. At present, the ten wives and concubines who came into Li Jing have given birth to fifteen children, eight sons and seven daughters. The older one is over three years old, and she can hold Li Jing’s thigh and call her father, but the younger one is just one month old. However, it is a bit regrettable that Wang Guiniang, the main wife, has never given birth to her since she gave birth to a legitimate daughter. Megan and Julie have always been in the military camp and have never given birth to them.

Although it is a separate dining room, it is not as lively as a big round table, but the family has twenty or thirty people, which is also very lively.

After dinner, Li Jing talked with his mother. Han is now considered pampering and has become more and more graceful. The old lady is now chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, and never interfering in the outside world. Even the affairs in the mansion are all handed over to Wang Guiniang. Although she knows that Wang Guiniang can't suppress the noble concubines in the mansion, she rarely cares about these things.

"Since those two have entered the house, they should let them stay in the mansion, a woman's house, and marry someone to take care of their husbands and children. It is really not suitable to stay in the military camp and run to the sea all day long. It is just right to have a child early!" Han said earnestly in Li Jing's sign language.

Li Jing just nodded and never refuted.

Han sighed and said, "What are you going to make arrangements, Mrs. Yu's wife?" Yu Youniang has lived in the Li family for three years. It's really easy to invite the gods and it's hard to send him off. The old lady has long understood Yu Youniang's intentions. It's been three years since she was there, so there are no other arrangements at this time. However, with Li Jing's current status as a prince, even if he took Yu Youniang as a concubine, he still could not help but say it.

"My mother doesn't have to be careful about these things, she will arrange them." Although she said that, Li Jing didn't know how to arrange them. Because of Yu Youniang's affairs, the Yu family and Li Jing have some estrangement. Yu Yan is better. He is his teacher and understands the specific situation. However, the other three uncles and uncles of the Yu family don't have much good opinions about Li Jing, and they all think that Li Jing's improper handling of things has harmed Yu Youniang. Yu Youniang has been in the Li family for three years, but she doesn't even have a status, so she can't even get married. Therefore, the Yu family's reputation has plummeted.

After chatting with my mother for a while, Li Jing returned to the main room to rest.

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Guiniang brought Wang Wanjun and Xiao Yulou in with him. However, she came over with the mansion account book and gave Li Jing the purpose.

After Xiao Yulou entered the house, Li's mother completely ignored the affairs of the mansion and handed over all the affairs to Wang Guiniang. However, Wang Guiniang could not care about the two or three hundred people in the mansion, and most of the matter fell into Wang Wanjun's hands. Gradually, Wang Wanjun was even less respectful to Wang Guiniang, the big wife.

Finally, Li Jing gave Gui Niang an idea, dividing the affairs in the mansion into three parts, and Wang Wanjun managed the specific affairs in the mansion, and Xiao Yulou was responsible for the account records of all the money and grain expenses in the mansion. All the money and grain needed for Wang Wanjun must be recorded in Xiao Yulou. Then Wang Guiniang was only responsible for managing the money and grain in the mansion, and all the expenses, monthly fees, etc. were collected by her. However, Wang Wanjun needed to issue a specific note first, and then go to Xiao Yulou to exchange for a money order to get the money from her.

In this case, the affairs in the mansion were divided into three parts: Wang Wanjun was in charge of the affairs, Xiao Yulou was in charge of the accounts, and Wang Guiniang was in charge of the money. Whether it was in charge of the affairs or the accounts, the money had to be taken from Wang Guiniang in the end. Therefore, Wang Guiniang was not worried about it now, but no one dared to underestimate it.

"You can handle the affairs in the mansion, and I won't be worried." Li Jing didn't look at the account books and said with a smile.

The three wives wanted to have more time privately with Li Jing, but when they were together, they were embarrassed to stay for a long time and left together. After a moment, Wang Wanjun returned alone. Li Jing looked at her curiously. Since Li Jing scolded her for interfering in military and political affairs, she was determined to take care of the affairs of the mansion. The Li family, which had hundreds of people, was managed in an orderly manner by her.

Moreover, in the past three years, he has given birth to two sons one after another. Now that the medical level in Dengzhou has increased, the three sons have grown up very healthy. Wang Wanjun's status in the mansion has also increased, especially when his family has not given birth, he has become the hostess in the mansion.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Jing didn't like Wang Wanjun, but she just felt that she was not content with her duties sometimes and was a troublemaker.

Wang Wanjun is very smart, otherwise she would not have had three sons in a few years. Women who are both smart and beautiful are usually very dominant.

She didn't say anything, but just took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jing took the note and opened it in confusion, but saw that what was written on it was actually a response to Gao Piantu. Looking at the handwriting of Juanxiu, Li Jing recognized that the note was written by Wang Wanjun at first. He suppressed his unhappiness first. Li Jing glared at Wang Wanjun and looked down.

After reading it at a glance, Li Jing couldn't help but be shocked.

Because the countermeasure proposed by Wang Wanjun is very simple but constructive, that is, to agree to Gao Pian's order. Then, a fleet of 2,000 people in the navy, plus two 10,000 infantry troops in the town, and then the 20,000 people in the four armies that Ji Tangang surrendered. The more than 30,000 people formed a southward camp.

Of course, Wang Wanjun's real intention would not be to really encircle Huang Chao under Gao Pian's order, but to take this opportunity to go south. According to Wang Wanjun's plan, he would first go down the coast to Haizhou of Taining, occupy the coastal island of Yuzhou Island as a supply point for southward travel, and station troops on the island of Yijun. Then the army continued to go south until the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then occupied Hu Douzhou, the big island of Haikou, and station troops on it.

Hu Douzhou is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Not far from the north of the Yangtze River is Yangzhou, the capital of the Huainan Army, and not far from the south of the Yangtze River is Runzhou, the capital of the Zhenhai Army. If the town ** stationed 20,000 troops and a fleet here, it can be said that it is truly a chain of ropes wrapped around Gao Pian's throat.

Wang Wanjun's jade teeth lightly bit her red lips, and her heart was full of tension.
