Tibet

Chapter 731
Fang Guan said slowly: "Wei Chen has always advocated using the minimum price to obtain the maximum benefit. If we can let Li Ye enter the capital and detain him immediately, he will be finished."

"I'm afraid he won't come to Beijing!" Wei Jiansu said coldly.

Wei Jiansu didn't like Fang Guan. He thought he was too mediocre and incompetent, and even his ideas were stupid.

Fang Guan said quickly: "Let him go to Beijing directly. Of course he will not go to Beijing. The key to this plan is to use his father. I suggested that his father be placed under house arrest and then send him the news that his father is seriously ill. Regardless of whether No matter what, I have to go to Beijing and lie down."

At this time, Li Fuguo said: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiangguo's suggestion still makes sense. In fact, the assassin's method can also be used."

"Assassination is not allowed!"

Wei Jiansu immediately objected: "Assassination is a method that must not be abused. If we use assassination to deal with him, he will also use assassination to deal with us. Beizhi cannot escape. A crossbow arrow can kill Beizhi."

Li Heng also nodded, "I won't consider assassination!"

At this time, Yu Chaoen said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea, you can give it a try!"

"Please tell me, Mr. Yu!"

"Your Majesty, what we want to eliminate is mainly Li Ye's military power. Then we can appoint Li Ye as the observer of Shannan East Road, Jiangnan West Road and Qianzhong Road and let him hand over his military power."

Li Fuguo shook his head like a rattle, "It's too simple. How could he hand over military power?"

Fang Guan rolled his eyes and said: "Then use the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and order him to lead the army to attack An Qingxu. When his army is in Hebei, we will directly take away his lair and cut off his foundation. We have his family in our hands." , Aren’t you afraid that he won’t surrender?”

Li Heng walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, shook his head and said: "When I asked him to capture Chang'an, his army confronted An Lushan's army in Chang'an. I had thought of sending troops to take over Xiangyang, but the prince advised me , if you do that, Li Ye will directly join forces with An Lushan.

In the same way, if he led an army to Anyang and I captured Xiangyang, would he surrender to An Qingxu in anger and attack us in turn?Can our army support him when he is angry? "

Fang Guan was speechless for a moment. Even Li Fuguo didn't support his plan. It was just to force Li Ye to rebel. It was so stupid.

At this time, Yu Chaoen continued: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished the low-level plan just now. If you can't deprive him of his military power, it's better to use the strategy of vacating the cage for a bird and appoint him as Jiangnan West Road, Qianzhong Road and Lingnan Road." Dao San Dao Jiedushi.

Once we control Jingxiang, we will use the power of Jingxiang's family to secretly instigate Li Ye's soldiers from Jingxiang's hometown to rebel. While we are waiting for him to inspect Lingnan Road, the imperial army will move southward with overwhelming force and recapture Jiangnan West Road and central Guizhou in one fell swoop. Dao, Li Ye is in Lingnan Dao and is beyond reach. He can only watch us swallow up all his territory. "

Fang Guan and Li Fuguo both agreed with Yu Chaoen's plan, but Wei Jiansu was silent in thought. Li Heng asked, "Does Wei Xiangguo think this plan is inappropriate?"

Wei Jiansu sighed and said: "If this plan is really implemented, Your Majesty will be crossing the river with Li Ye to rule."

Li Heng was shocked, "How could that happen?"

Wei Jiansu smiled bitterly and said: "Now that Jiangnan West Road is in his hands, the first thing he has to do is to use the advantage of warships to annex Jiangnan East Road. In this way, Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Fujian Road, Lingnan Road , the Central Guizhou Road fell into his hands, what is it but ruling by crossing the river?"

Li Heng was dumbfounded and asked anxiously: "What about the relationship between Yiwei and Xiangguo?"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen does have a plan in his mind, but it is not yet mature. After Wei Chen has thought about it, he will write to Your Majesty!"

Li Heng suddenly realized that Wei Jiansu probably wanted to talk to him alone, so he nodded, "We will discuss it today. Let's go back first! Wei Xiangguo stays."

Li Fuguo was really annoyed. He glared at Wei Jiansu with dissatisfaction, turned around and left. Fang Guan and Yu Chaoen also left, leaving Wei Jiansu alone in the imperial study.

Li Heng then said: "Wei Xiangguo, tell me, do you have any good plans?" Wei Jiansu was very reluctant to discuss politics with the eunuchs, so he slowly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Fang Guan is a scholar and does not understand military affairs. Although Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen are smart and capable, after all, they have been living in the palace, their vision is not broad, and they are not sure about the general trend of the world.

Now An Qingxu still has 20 troops, and Shi Siming still has nearly [-] troops. At this time, we must concentrate our forces and energy to deal with them, and Li Ye is a clan member. It is an internal conflict that must not be solved by war. Once we are trapped in During the civil war, An Qingxu would get a chance to breathe and be swept away again. At that time, the court would be in danger! "

Li Heng was not completely confused. He also knew that Li Ye's army was not weak and could withstand the attack of Anlu Mountain's 20 troops. Such an army could not have a civil war with him.

He nodded and said, "What Wei Qing said makes sense. In your opinion, what is a good solution?"

Wei Jiansu smiled lightly and said: "Wei Chen's idea is to change birds in the air, but instead of changing to the south, he will change to the west. He will change Li Ye to be the military governor of Longyou and the military governor of Hexi, and let him deal with it. Tibet."

Li Heng wakes up from a dream, this is a good strategy!Tubo's nearly 20 troops invaded Longyou, Hexi and Shuofang and surrounded Guanzhong from three directions, seriously threatening the security of Guanzhong. He was worried that he would not have an army to compete with Tubo. Isn't Li Ye the best candidate?

Li Heng walked a few steps and asked again: "What if he refuses to give up Jingxiang?"

"Your Majesty, he was the governor of Anxi before. As far as Wei Chen knows, the main generals under him are basically from Hexi and Longyou. In addition, Jingxiang's family does not support him. Wei Chen believes that he will definitely be tempted. The key is negotiation."

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "I agree to negotiate. Who does Wei Qing recommend to negotiate with Li Ye?"

"In fact, Gao Shi is the most suitable, but unfortunately he is in Huainan. Wei Chen suggested sending Taichang Qing Li Yu to negotiate with Li Ye."

Li Heng frowned, "Li Yu seems to have a good personal relationship with Li Ye. Is he suitable?"

Wei Jiansu smiled slightly and said: "It is not him who makes the decision, but His Majesty."

Li Heng nodded, "In that case, let Li Yu go! Aiqing will talk to Li Yu first, and then I will meet him."

Although it was only the emperor Li Heng and Wei Jiansu who finalized the plan of vacating the cage and changing the bird, the secret could not be kept secret. Wei Jiansu had to talk to Li Yu first, and Li Yu would definitely tell his brother Li Lin.

But the key is the palace. Li Heng must communicate with Li Fuguo, and Li Fuguo will tell Yu Chaoen. So only two hours later, the plan of vacating the cage and replacing the bird was spread in a small circle.

In Dugu Mansion, Dugu Ming hurriedly found his brother Dugu Lie. Dugu Lie was still serving as the Minister of War, but with the change of emperor, his value as the Minister of War was gone.

Previously, Li Longji's Minister of War was equivalent to the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty and had great military decision-making power. However, now the Generalissimo's Office is the Privy Council. The power of the Privy Council has been taken by two eunuchs, Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen.

The current position of Minister of the Ministry of War is a false one, but Dugu Lie also thought about it. He is now a county king and a situ, and it does not mean much to him whether he has real power. The eldest son Dugu Jinyang replaced Chen Xuanli as the general of the Longwu Army.

But the only thing that makes Dugu Lie a little annoyed is that his son-in-law Li Ye actually regards Jingxiang as his foundation. Their Guanlong family has always been based on Guanlong. They have touched the Central Plains and Hedong at most, and have almost never touched the south. For hundreds of years, This is true.

It was okay for the son-in-law to stay in Jingxiang temporarily, but he actually wanted to visit Jingxiang. This made Dugulie very dissatisfied. He simply refused to contact Li Ye to express his dissatisfaction.

When Dugu Lie saw his brother coming in a hurry, he smiled and said, "Coming here during dinner time is a bit impure!"

"Brother, urgent news!"

Seeing Dugu Ming's serious expression, Dugu Lie stopped teasing and nodded, "Tell me what you want! What's the emergency?"
