Looking at Zhang Song and his second son Li Zhi, Li Tian retreated. Li Zhigao calmed down a little and asked Su Hongyu: "What do you have to say to me?"
"I didn't know they would act in such a hurry?" Su Hongyu said aggrievedly.
"I don't blame you for this matter - Han Qian asked to establish a prince, the Mongols were worried that Han Qian would send troops to Hehuai at any time, sow discord in the middle, and wanted to mess up the situation in Jianghuai. Father, he couldn't sit still, and fell into the trap to coerce Xi Shui.
They are plotting to change, and you will not give up and give it a try if you persuade them. If it were me, in that situation, it would be difficult to make a choice, right?" Li Zhigao sighed lightly, and felt that he was too harsh on Su Hongyu.
, gently held her shoulder and asked, "On your way here, did anyone from Guanjiang Tower contact you?"
"After we passed Shuzhou, we were harassed and harassed by local naval forces all the way. We had no contact with the land, but Madam, Zhou Yuanyou guessed that the Mengwu envoys or Guanjiang Tower might take the initiative to contact you, but I don't know why they just did it.
I could resist asking directly." Su Hongyu said.
"This disastrous defeat is because they fell into the trap of the Mongol people, or maybe Han Qian wanted to scare the snake when he first asked to establish a prince. They wanted to ask, but they couldn't say it, right? In addition, Tangyi soldiers and horses stopped you from going.
Huaidong, you should have been warned not to collude with the Mongol people, right?"
"Well, Feng Yi boarded the ship to meet Ye Feiying and wanted to leave, but he didn't know whether Han Qian was present or not. Feng Yi said something similar," Su Hongyu said, "How did you guess that?
"
"All Han Qian's deployments are to send troops to Hehuai without any worries. At this time, he will never sit back and watch us collude with the Mongol people. The same is true for Tangyi's soldiers and horses not moving westward this time, but this does not mean that
They cannot change the plan. For Tangyi, even if it may be delayed by three or four months, sending troops to capture Dengjun and Dengzhou first, and then sending troops to Guanzhong from Wuguandao can be said to be an alternative to directly sending troops to Hehuai.
A choice. As long as Zhu Yu can seize Heluo and Tangyi sends troops to Guanzhong, the general situation of the world cannot be said to be completely under the control of the Mongols," Li Zhigao said, "Everyone has thought of this. Even at this time, Madam and Zhou Yuan
I was unwilling to hand over Pingjing, Wusheng and other officials and fully withdraw from Suiyang, but I also knew that I could not provoke Tangyi before the foundation was stable. The Mongol people should know that it was useless to send people to see me, but they sent people to see me.
I went to see Zhou Shu. However, now I can only pretend that I don’t know about this, and now I can only hope that they won’t bring it up publicly.”
"By the way, Zhang Song escorted me, Zhi'er, and Gao'er before they fled to Jinghaimen. They passed by Sanhe Lane and saw a pile of fire starters in the alley, and several beggars with hidden weapons were killed in the corner of the alley.
.I mentioned this matter to my wife, and she guessed that these dead people were from Tangyi’s secret chamber who wanted to prevent us from leaving Jinling City, but my wife’s explanation could not explain who secretly killed these people. I thought about these hidden weapons.
The beggar, maybe the assassin from Guanjiang Tower, wanted to secretly prevent us from leaving Jinling City, but he was killed by Tangyi's secret room," Su Hongyu asked, "After all, he tried every possible means to stimulate you to throw yourself over or hold Tangyi back.
, after all, you are still a Ughur, Madam said so, you still want to keep this escape route, right?"
"It's good if you know this in your heart." Li Zhigao said.
"Will the Mongols reveal your and Xishui's life experience?" Su Hongyu asked again.
"They will, but the world is so complicated, what use can they do by spreading such news?" Li Zhigao said with a wry smile.
"Has Han Qian sent someone to see you?" Su Hongyu asked.
"He has done so much and still wants to send someone to see me. He is looking down on me. Besides, no matter how ambitious I am, I will not be a bitch wagging my tail and begging for mercy." Li Zhigao smiled proudly and said, "I think Han Qian also understands in his heart.
If I had really wanted to collude with the Mongol people, I would not have done anything like this in Jinling City."
“How are you going to handle the current situation?”
Li Zhigao stood in front of the oil lamp and said: "Tangyi will not attack Xiangbei, or it can be said that the Shu army will not act rashly, but as long as Zhang Wei and Zhao Zhen gather the Youwu Xiang Army, the Youwu Guards and the soldiers from Jiangxi and Hunan states to attack Xiangying,
It is also difficult to defend the four states of Deng and Sui. In the end, we may only be able to barely defend the three states of Liang, Jin, and Jun to watch the changes in the situation in the Hehuai River. Of course, they do not agree with my proposition, so I will not take on this burden. They are willing to pick it up.
Let them choose, and we will go to Liangzhou."
"Would Madam allow us to go to Liangzhou?" Su Hongyu asked worriedly.
"We must go to Liangzhou. It seems that no one can stop me. Madam has no reason to keep me in Xiangcheng," Li Zhigao said. "The biggest headache right now is that Madam and the others are not in a hurry to establish a new emperor..."
"Now we may be able to dissuade everyone from rushing to join the Mongol people, but if we don't respect the Queen Mother and establish a new emperor, I'm afraid it won't work on Madam's side, right?" Su Hongyu asked worriedly.
Now they are like grasshoppers tied to a tree. If they are torn apart internally, they may not be able to survive this autumn and will be wiped out by the imperial army.
"If you don't establish a new emperor, it's not that there are no alternative strategies. Perhaps you can follow the example when Your Majesty took charge of the Hunan Province, and set up the Jingxiang Province on top of the Xiangbei states, and make the 'second prince' serve as the Minister.
Exercising military and political power in Xiangbei. In this case, the Queen Mother and the 'Second Prince' can continue to play their role as puppets in the hands of Madam and they should be able to accept it, right?" Li Zhigao guessed.

"Place Jingxiang as the Shangshu Province and make the second prince serve as the Shangshu..."
The Han River was vast and turbid. On the boat heading to Xiangcheng, Lu Qingxia asked hesitantly and puzzled when Li Zhigao mentioned the policy of entrustment that was different from their expectations.
"The palace coup failed. We and Jinling are already at loggerheads, and there is no possibility of easing any further. However, if we set up the Shangshu Province and are not in a hurry to establish a new emperor, the current situation is really not good for us, and we can only show weakness to the enemy. Even at this time, even if
It won't dissuade Jinling from sending troops to attack, but it can also delay the timing and intensity of their sending troops, giving them more opportunities to breathe," Li Zhigao said calmly, "Even if we don't need to send people to spread the news, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others
Most people have come to their senses at this time - as long as it is delayed until the autumn, Tangyi's troops in Hehuai are frustrated, Tangyi will definitely not want to see us die, and their teeth will be cold; but Tangyi's troops in Hehuai won a great victory
, does Jinling still have the intention to invade Xiangbei on a large scale?"
Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Chai Jian and others were all deep in thought, but they could not say that Li Zhigao's words were unreasonable.
"What should we do under the order of the Secretary?" Lu Qingxia asked
"The situation is so bad. Zhigao deeply feels that his ability is really limited. Perhaps he can only manage the Liang and Jin states well and protect everyone's retreat. As for how to do it under the minister's order, please listen to my wife's instructions." Li Zhigao said calmly.
.
Li Zhigao said this. Chai Jian, Zhou Yuan, Zhong Yanhu, Yao Xishui, and Chun Shisanniang were all startled. Li Zhigao was not satisfied that they were taking the lead, so he piled up his picks and led his direct troops to defend the two states of Liang and Jin, and then captured Ying.
Follow Deng Junxiang and leave the five states to their disposal?
"You are the defense envoy of the Xiangbei capital. All the generals and soldiers in the three towns obey your orders. Xiangcheng still needs you to take charge." Lu Qingxia frowned and said.
"Madam, please don't force me to know what the imperial edict is. I know that the imperial edict is incompetent, and I owe my wife's cultivation. Chai Jian, Zhou Shu, Chai Xun, Zhong Yanhu and others are also good generals in commanding and running the army. In political affairs, tax transfers and other matters, there are
Zhou Yuan's assistant wife, Zhigao is really incompetent in her work - and only in this way, Xiao Yiqing can't make any fuss about my life experience," Li Zhigao said resolutely, "There will be news about the incident in Jinling Palace in the near future.
It will spread to the Kingdom of Shu, and Wang Yong, the Lord of Shu, will have the name to regain Liangzhou. Cao Gan, Cao Zhe and his son may make changes in Lizhou at any time. No one is in charge of Liangzhou, and we can't even secure our retreat. I think I
I will not accompany my wife, the Queen Mother, to Xiangcheng..."
Yao Xishui was deeply surprised that Li Zhigao had such a firm attitude. He wanted to persuade him but was unable to do so.

July in Dachu is not destined to be a calm month.
First, Jinling issued an edict to the new emperor and the empress dowagers of the two palaces, accusing Lu Qingxia and other maids of colluding with foreign tribes to assassinate Emperor Yanyou. The palace coup failed and the empress dowager was kidnapped. The two princes fled to Xiangcheng, and the subjects of Chuzhou County were ordered to rise up and attack.
.
Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother Wang Chaner followed the gourd painting in Xiangcheng and ordered Jianghuai to be called Shenyang. Yang Zhitang assassinated Yanyou and planned a coup. In Xiangcheng, the second prince Yang Lin was appointed as the king of Xiang, and Jingxiang was appointed Shangshu Province. He was five years old
Yang Lin, the king of Xiang, also headed the Shangshu Order; he appointed Lu Qingxia, the envoy, as Zuocheng, the Secretary of the Shangshu Province, in charge of the edicts and documents of the Shangshu desk and other matters. He was also appointed as the Xuanwei envoy, and Chai Jian took charge of the military and political defense of Jingxiang;
The transfer envoy was appointed by Zhou Yuan, who was in charge of the transfer of grain taxation and transportation in the Jingxiang states; the inspection envoy was appointed by Chen De, who was in charge of the supervision of punishments.
The empress dowager's edict from Xiangcheng was specially copied to Tangyi's camp on the south bank of Jiaoshan Gorge. In the eyes of everyone in Tangyi, the biggest role of the so-called "empress dowager's edict" was just to confirm the military intelligence staff's opinion that Cong Xiang
Is the information collected by Northern Scout correct?
"Is Li Zhigao throwing the pick to Lu Qingxia, Chai Jian and the others, and hiding in the fields in Liangzhou?"
In the Chinese army's tent in the south bank camp, Feng Liao was holding the handwritten edict from the Queen Mother that had been handed down from Xiangcheng, and asked with a hint of uncertainty.
"It's not surprising," Han Qian crossed his legs and sat casually behind the main case, stroking the stubble that he hadn't shaved for two days and said, "Li Zhigao stayed in Xiangcheng and was able to preside over Xiangcheng's military affairs, but he suffered from everywhere.
Lu Qingxia's constraints are not pleasant, and they may not be able to control Chai Jian very well. Zhou Shu and the two of them might as well leave the problem to Lu Qingxia and let him run Liangzhou - wait until Lu Qingxia and Chai Jian,
When Zhou Shu and Zhou Yuan could not defend Ying, they followed Deng Xiang and others and had to retreat hastily to Liangzhou. Only then could he completely suppress the voices of Lu Qingxia, Chai Jian, Zhou Shu, Zhou Yuan and others, shouting
All troops and horses are organized according to his will."
"After all, Li Zhigao still doesn't want to be controlled by Lu Qingxia, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Feng Liao said with emotion.
