Over the years, it seems that the huge territory that His Highness the Prince of Yan has built is in the hands of the Yan Prince's Palace and not handed over to the Lin'an court.

Whether it is garrisoning troops or dispatching officials, it is decided by the Yan Palace.

Therefore, Zhu Ziliu also had an idea and only said that he would hand over the military and political affairs of Dali to the King of Yan.

Guo Mo naturally heard the meaning of his words, but Guo Mo was too lazy to argue with him about such details. If there was no misunderstanding, it would not affect the overall situation.

Guo Mo did not express his position, but Zhao Rushu and Lao Chengju next to him had their eyes shining brightly.

"Mr. Zhu, do you think this is okay? Mr. Zhu is tired after coming all the way. He will go down to wash up and eat something."

"After all, this matter is of great importance. We still need to discuss it carefully with His Highness King Yan. Even if we agree to send troops, it is thousands of miles away and there are too many variables. The implications really need to be carefully considered."

Zhao Rushu stood up and smoothed things over for Guo Mo.

"What Zhao Changshi said is true. It's Zhu Menglang, but it shouldn't be like this. I'll go down first and wait for everyone's good news."

Zhu Ziliu bowed his hands to the three people in the room.

"Brother Zhu, let's go and have a rest. We will definitely not let Brother Zhu come back empty-handed."

Now that Zhao Rushu had given the answer, Guo Mo said nothing more and called his second apprentice Wu Nantian to ask him to lead Zhu Ziliu out in person.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you are worried about, but this incident in Dali is indeed an opportunity for us to go south."

"With a local snake like the Duan family here, whether it is sending troops to occupy the country or conducting local governance in the future, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes, Your Highness, what Lao Zhao said this time is right. Although Dali is not a good place, people have taken the initiative to come to visit us."

"If His Highness refuses people thousands of miles away, it will damage His majesty if it spreads. In the future, if any neighboring small country seeks asylum, you will have to think carefully about it."

Before Guo Mo could speak, the two elders started talking one after another. They thought Guo Mo was unwilling to send troops to Dali.

"You two, I don't know what you are talking about. It's just that the Song Dynasty today seems to be strong, but in fact it is tight everywhere."

"The original conflicts have only been alleviated, but not completely eliminated. In the newly recovered places, except for Henan Prefecture, other places are still providing subsidies and cannot be self-sufficient."

"Now, tens of thousands of the 'Dunwu Army' have been sent out to conquer Xixia, and the Hebei battlefield may start at any time. If we send more troops to the south to conquer Dali, wouldn't it be a big step?"

Emotionally speaking, Guo Mo wished he could send troops there right away. It didn't matter whether Dali was right or wrong, he was the former "Southern Emperor" and now the Master Yideng.

No matter in the past life or in this life, Guo Mo has always had a good impression of this person, especially a few years ago, Master Yideng and he were considered to be half-disciples.

However, a personal relationship is a personal relationship. Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. We must pay attention to them.

Distance is a problem, water and soil are a problem, and multi-front operations are also a problem that should be considered.

The three of them had been discussing in the small flower hall for more than an hour, but they could not come to a clear conclusion.

It was already lunch time, and seeing that Guo Mo had not returned, Huang Rong, accompanied by Li Mochou, found the small flower hall in the front yard.

"Brother Mo, what kind of 'military and national event' makes you not even eat? Xiao Xiang'er has been waiting for you. The little girl is already hungry, but she has to wait for her father to pass before eating."

"I've met Princess Yan——"

"Ah, the two gentlemen are here, but what trouble did they encounter? I heard that Brother Mo has an old friend from the south here?"

It was Zhao Rushu and Lao Cheng Ju who went to the martial arts training ground to call away Guo Mo. They said on the spot that there was an old friend from the south. When Huang Rong went to see Guo Mo for dinner, Wu Nantian, the only one who knew about it, was not there yet.

Huang Rong, who was sensitive, thought that this "person from the south" was from Luo's ghost country, so she came to Xiaohuating with some "presumptuousness".

"Rong'er, why did you come here when it's so hot? Just let Tingxiang say something, and you have to run for it yourself."

Seeing Huang Rong and the others coming in, Guo Mo stopped thinking and hurriedly stepped forward to help her in.

"Gee, my sister heard that there were 'people from the south', so she came over to see if there was any 'military event' happening."

Li Mochou covered her mouth and laughed beside her, but she kept winking at Guo Mo.

"You damn girl, are you squinting in front of me?"

Such a little trick naturally failed to escape Huang Rong's eyes.

"Haha, look at how jealous you are. There is someone from the south, or you know Ronger, but it's not what you thought. As for the military and national affairs, you really got it right."

Guo Mo poured Huang Rong a glass of water and briefly explained what happened to Zhu Ziliu.

Huang Rong felt a little embarrassed when she saw that she was really "overthinking" and in front of Zhao Rushu and Lao Chengju.

"As expected, it is a military and national matter. It's me, Meng Lang. Brother Mo should discuss it with the two gentlemen. Second sister and I will leave now."

I just said that because of a misunderstanding. Now that I know that there is really a military and national event, it is really inappropriate for me to stay here any longer.

"Rong'er, you'd better sit down. You just happened to catch up with me. We discussed it for a long time and still haven't decided yet. I want to hear Rong'er's opinion?"

Guo Mo knew about Huang Rong. She was a resourceful and extraordinary woman. In this era, the idea that men are superior to women is deeply ingrained, leaving too many women without the opportunity to show themselves.

Seeing Guo Mo's question, Zhao Rushu and Lao Chengju didn't think much about it. His Royal Highness, King Yan, had so many unexpected things, so asking his wife for political matters was nothing.

"In my opinion, troops must be sent. It just depends on how the troops are sent and the effects after sending them."

Huang Rong saw that Guo Mo was really struggling and asked herself again, so she didn't hesitate anymore and spoke frankly.

"There are more than 30,000 rebels, but the most powerful ones are the 10,000 Tibetan troops. If the Gao family can completely wipe out the Duan family in one fell swoop after becoming emperor, there will be no other variables."

"If the Duan family defends the city, it depends on how long it can be defended. As time goes by, the first people to be impatient should be the Tubo people. They are here for profit. If they pocket the money, they may

Stop the troops and return."

"If we send out troops, the fastest thing is to send out the remaining ranks of the 'Loyal and Shun Army'. Ten thousand cavalry is enough. Soldiers are very fast. One man and three horses can travel day and night. We will arrive in less than ten days."

"At the same time, write a letter to Luo's Ghost Kingdom and ask them to send the eight thousand cavalry trained with the help of the 'Dunwu Army' to directly attack Shanchan Mansion in Dali."

"That's the Gao family's home base. Taking this place will naturally devastate the morale of the rebels. The rest of the 'loyal and shun army' can only assist but not lead. They must be assisting the Duan family in suppressing the rebellion."

"As long as the Gao family's troops are eliminated first, the other Tibetan troops or Miao armed forces can be dealt with slowly."

"Just let the deputy general lead another 20,000 'Loyal and Shun Army', march over normally, and prepare to take over and garrison Dali."

"As for Dali's letter of surrender, it is better to ask members of their royal family to go to Lin'an to submit it in person, and let the officials arrange the people who govern it. There really is no suitable person in the Yan Palace."

"However, in the military order, Yu Dutong must be reminded that the action must be fast and the killing must be ruthless. The Gao clan who rebelled must be killed to death. This is to be seen by more people."

Huang Rong held water in one hand and drank slowly while talking slowly. The small flower hall was quiet.

This was the first time for Zhao Rushu and Cheng Jue, including Li Mochou, to hear Huang Rong analyze such a military matter in public.

"I have heard for a long time that Princess Yan is very resourceful, and now I know that the rumors are true——"

Zhao Rushu woke up first, shook his sleeves, and bowed deeply to Huang Rong.

"Haha, Princess Yan can be called the female Zhuge, Lao Cheng admires her!"

"Two gentlemen, please don't say that. This little girl is talking nonsense. For real military and national affairs, you two need to assist Brother Mo."

"Brother Mo, if the matter is settled, go back to the back house for dinner as soon as possible. Xiao Xiang'er is still waiting. Gentlemen, the little girl has resigned -"

After Huang Rong finished speaking, she left the small flower hall with Li Mochou without stopping.

Looking at Huang Rong's leaving figure, old Cheng Jue kept smiling, but Zhao Rushu squinted his eyes, thoughtfully.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, Princess Yan's intelligence is no worse than yours, right?"

Old Cheng Ju didn't notice Zhao Rushu's expression and joked from the side.

"Your Highness, if you discuss matters in the future, it would be better to post a sentry at the door——"

Zhao Rushu did not answer Old Cheng Jue's teasing, but came to Guo Mo seriously and bowed to the ground.

"Old Zhao, you..."

Old Cheng Jue was stunned by Zhao Rushu's actions, but he instantly understood what he meant, and even straightened his sleeves, stood next to Zhao Rushu, and also bowed to Guo Mo.

"Two gentlemen, why is this necessary? I believe Ronger is not that kind of person, and I, Guo Mo, am even less that kind of person. Can you, gentlemen, trust me?"

Guo Mo didn't know what these two people were thinking, but how could someone who was hundreds of years ahead of his time make such a low-level mistake?

"Your Highness, you just have to have an idea. Maybe the old minister is overly worried. However, regarding the affairs of Dali Kingdom, the old minister thinks that we can act according to what Princess Yan just said."

"At the same time, you will only ask Wu Dutong in Chang'an to take advantage of this opportunity to place some people in Dali City. They may not come in handy. What if there is one person thousands of miles away?"

"As for the officials sent to Dali to govern, I think it would be better for His Highness to personally recommend them to the officials. Although Dali is not a big place, this appointment of the Economic and Social Envoy is unusual. He may not send officials, mainly because his status is sufficient.

"

Seeing Zhao Rushu talking about this, Guo Mo couldn't help but look at him more.

"Haha, Uncle Six, logically it is most appropriate for you to go there, but it's a pity that I, Prince Yan's Mansion, really can't do without you for a while."

"Your Highness, this is not a joke. I don't mean it that way. How could I recommend myself in this matter?"

Although Guo Mo was talking with a smile, Zhao Rushu also knew that Guo Mo was basically making a joke on himself, but this kind of joke was not to be made casually.

No matter how small the Dali country is, it is still a country. If there is an economic and pacification envoy in this place, the status will be invisibly special. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, which will always make people daydream about it.

"Haha, I was just joking, but as Ronger said, I really don't have many candidates here."

"In terms of talent, there are still two people in Lin'an City who are qualified for the job, but one has been promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, and the other is acting in charge of the Ministry of Punishments. Alas, it is hard to find talents."

Guo Mo suddenly discovered that the territory was really big, and there were really not many people who could make great use of it. Especially in this historical period, there were too few people who were truly capable of governing the world.

"Your Highness, if the conditions are like what Lao Zhao just said, I know a person. This person must have status and ability. I just want to see if Your Highness dares to reuse this person?"

When Guo Mo and Zhao Rushu were at a loss what to do, old Cheng Jue actually thought of someone.
