5. Clear and dark countermeasures

Then in the pavilion, Li Yuanping screamed and waved his short arms, saying that he would never tolerate the court again this time. Why did the Secretariat Dou Shen die? All the Dukes thought carefully.

"Isn't it because of collusion with Xifan?" Wang Biao asked loudly.

Li Yuanping immediately looked at this person with sympathy and thought to himself how you passed the Jinshi exam at the South School of the Ministry of Rites?

"Dou Zhonglang's death was indeed a slander of the treacherous minister Gao Yue. But the court convicted him so much, and we can't refute him. We can't raise an army and say that we want to avenge Dou Shen. That would mean that we also conspired with Xifan, and that would break our trust in the world." Zhai Zuoping was in the Xuanwu Army and also had a grudge against Gao Yue, but he still dared to launch a private mutiny. He openly clamored to avenge Dou Shen, but it was his forbidden area.

But Li Yuanping's next words made everyone in the pavilion tremble, "Since that's the case, our Guandongfang Town should contact Xifan, attack east and west, conquer Chang'an, and overthrow Li Tang's country and country!"

"You are crazy." Zhai Zuoping and Wang Biao were so scared that they were no longer looking at each other. They wanted to lift all four hands up and accuse Li Yuanping of his boldness and arrogance.

"You guys, as long as the court still exists for one day, the hatred between Fang Zhen and it will not be able to be eliminated. Whether it is to marry a princess and allow the father to die and his son to continue the honor, it is only a temporary solution for the court. As long as the emperor is healthy and the court's soldiers are strong, it will inevitably entrust a fierce and violent person like Gao Yue to slapp us. Dou Zhonglang just hopes to improve the relationship between Guandong and Chang'an, so he died and is divided in Evil Yangling. I will not kill Gao Yue today, and Gao Yue will kill us like Dou Shen in the future."

Later, Li Yuanping continued to speak out loudly despite the obstacles. He pointed to everyone present and said, "You can send secret envoys to meet Zanpu and agreed to launch an army together in Xifan. After the great achievements were completed, I will get Eyue in Huaixi, Shandong in Shandong and Jingnan, Biansong in Henan and Huainan, Ziqing in Zhejiang and East in Zhejiang, Weibo in Heshuo Youyan, and Xifan in Helong, Jiannan, Northwest in Guanzhong. After that, the world will be divided, and you will have a foundation. Then you will compete for the Central Plains, and each will see the fate of heaven, and you will not complain about the victory or defeat."

"Li Yuanping, you are blatantly leading the Qiang Rong into the Central Plains of China and splitting several parts of the country. You are simply a traitor." Wang Biao could no longer help but point the halberd Li and cursed.

Zhai Zuoping also felt that Li's plan was too bad and absurd, and he did not agree at all.

"In fact, Li Bingshi (Li Yuanping is now the judge of the Huaixi Shogunate, and his official title is the Minister of the Ministry of War) is right. In any case, the relationship between the court and us is a death-death relationship. After Dou Shen's death, we would never have anyone to return to the court. In other words, once the official army breaks through Tongwan City, it may be the next turn of Guandong..." At this moment, the veteran Wei Bo, Xing Caojun, who was always silent on the side, spoke.

Then the veteran looked at the king's bell with his eyes shining brightly, "Maybe, the Holy Lord will soon ask us to destroy these three cities."

Wang Biao narrowed his neck and stopped talking.

Xing Caojun looked at Zhai Zuoping again, "After Liu Situ's death, even if the court asked the son of the Situ family to inherit the throne, it would be a pity that the rift had been deeply rooted. Judging from the position of Xuanwu Town, the court would never be able to tolerate it for a long time."

Zhai Zuoping also pondered this.

Just when Li Yuanping was overjoyed and thought that Wei Bo's old army leader was actually a confidant, and when he was about to bow to him, Xing Caojun also stroked his beard, and his forehead, which was a little alopecia areata, shining in the sunlight, staring at Li Yuanping, "Your Huaining Army said this, and the motive is also very impure. How can the death of Han Jingong, the former prime minister of the court, be separated from you Huaixi? In the future, the court will be in charge of the war, and Shen Guangcai will definitely be the first to be the first to be the one you said. Your words are nothing more than hoping to force other Fangzhen."

This sentence pointed to the key point, making Li Yuanping blushed.

Before leaving Caizhou City, he instigated Wu Shaocheng to say that the Chang'an court is now bloody and people are in chaos. We must seize this opportunity and join forces with Wei Bo and Ziqing to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Even if we sell ourselves to the Western Bo, he will do whatever he wants. "No, when Gao Yue pacifies Qiang and Qiang and Wei Gao and others become a big climate, in order to invite favor from the emperor, the next step will be to invade Huaixi. The family of Shenguang Cai is only about 400,000 yuan, with a narrow land and weak wealth, and does not produce salt. Horses, even under the teams of Eyue, Shannan East Road, Jingnan, Huainan, Chenxu, and Chenxu, and stretch their heads and feet, and they are still not free. As the court is now greedy for comfort. When the official army launches a large-scale killing and attacks, it will be too late to regret it."

When Wu Shaocheng heard that it made sense, he asked Li Yuanping to participate in the secret meeting in Sanchang City.

Who would have thought that his purpose was easily seen through by Xing Caojun. Not only that, Xing also mentioned the great relationship between Han Huan's assassination and Huaixi Town, which made Li Yuanping even more frightened.

"What? It turns out that the death of Duke Jin of Han is also behind your Huaixi's black hand?" Wang Biao was angry again.

Just when Li Yuanping was about to argue, "Okay!" Xing Caojun stood up and gave a stop to the argument of the secret meeting:

Xuanwu Army, Pinglu Army, Tianxiong Army, and Huaining Army formed an offensive and defensive alliance. Once the court intervenes in any of the towns, these four towns must all defend;

Since then, the four towns have procured their own officials and the official taxes are not included in the court. The governors of the prefectures and counties have also slowly used natives and refused to let the court officials come. However, in order to ease the relationship with the court, the four towns have issued hundreds of thousands of trump cards in private every year to worship the emperor's inner treasury. Today, the son is greedy for bribery and the official is tyrannical, thus delaying the situation;

The taitang along the Caoyun Road and the "mistake method" left by Dou Shen, our town continues to implement the two taxes in the southeast of the court. If Hu Dou rice is transferred from the Yangtze Patrol, we will not only use our taitang to collect taxes, but also have to be heavy. The heavier the better, so as to pose the financial problems of the court;

Once there are any flaws in the court's military and political affairs, our four towns will take the opportunity to come out, and we must use this to seriously attack the court so that they will not have the spare time to go east;

Li Yuanping's strategy in Huaixi was too radical and unscrupulous to use.

In short, Xing Caojun’s plan is eight words - "Not unification or independence, openness and secret rebellion."

Li Yuanping wanted to take the initiative to collude with Xifan against the Tang Dynasty, but Xing Caojun disagreed. His idea was "We did not collude with Xifan explicitly, but pulled it behind the scenes, exhausting Tang. When Xifan counterattacked and unable to resist, we would take the opportunity to rebel and divide the territory."

At this time, Li Yuanping retreated and followed Xing Juncao. In addition, the four towns reached an agreement, that is, the Lu army of Ziqingping used the "mountain sheds" spread across the Huai River and the "River Bidders" group to secretly follow the Yangtze River and continue to support Ma and Yan to Huaixi, consolidating Huaixi into the front line barrier to resist the Tang Dynasty.

Ziqing itself can take the shipping route and buy good horses from Liao. In addition, the sea salt of Pinglu Army is not a problem, and it is more than enough to sell it to Huaixi - but Huaixi will also sell the remaining part of the salt purchased to the salt-short Shandong and Jingnan areas at a high price, and make huge profits from it.
