Wang Zhongsi's strategy was very simple. He relied on the strong national power of the Tang Dynasty to force Quanrong and Nanzhao to defeat without fighting. Not to mention Nanzhao, even if Nanzhao and Quanrong are tied together and then multiplied by ten, its national power is still far behind that of the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps they could gather a number of troops equal to or even greater than that of the Tang Dynasty, but they could not use this force to fight for a long time, otherwise the production and life of the army would collapse. Hearing what he said, Li Bai felt admiration in his heart. He was indeed a famous general who frightened the Hu people. During the Warring States Period, Li Mu followed the same strategy to defeat the Huns. At this rate, it will only take three to five years before Nanzhao's national power will be exhausted, rebellions will break out in the country, and the generals under Ge Luofeng can't wait to offer his head. He looked at Ye Chang's expression, and Ye Chang nodded, expressing his approval of this. "If we can kill Ge Luofeng, will Yunnan be safe?" Ye Chang asked again. "I can advise you on military strategy. Among all the princes in the world, who is better than you on political strategy?" Wang Zhongsi said with a smile: "I have been reading your two magnificent articles "On Border Policy" and "On Wealth of Nations" for a long time. , The strategy just now was also obtained from these two articles. I think you must have a plan in mind. "Li Bai's heart was moved again. He liked Huazhang Ci and Ye Chang's "Border Policy" and "Wealth of the Country". He also bought some of them, but the two articles were written in plain language, which he did not like, and the content involved a lot of money-making techniques, which Li Bai did not like. Therefore, he browsed through it hastily, looking at the general outline but not studying the details. Now listening to what Wang Zhongsi said, he highly praised these two articles by Ye Chang. This made Li Bai secretly determined to take time to study these two articles carefully. "To be honest with you, the prince, before I came here, I did have a rough plan, and with the advice of the prince, I am now confident." Ye Chang said. "The only thing to worry about is not at the border, but in the middle of the court." Wang Zhongsi stared at Ye Chang for a while, and then said leisurely. He is a very smart person and knows that Ye Chang is a person that Li Linfu relies on. Although he does not know about the marriage between Ye and Li, he also understands that there must be something wrong with the court when Ye Chang is sent to Jiannan at this time. , Li Linfu had to do it. If this is the case, what Ye Chang needs to worry about most is not Nanzhao, but the possible changes in the court. Ye Chang smiled and did not answer. If the conflict between Li Linfu and Yang Zhao had not broken out, he would have been sent to Jiannan to deal with Nanzhao. Now, Li Linfu wishes he could contain Yang Zhao here, and Yang Zhao wishes he could win so that he could be defeated earlier. Returning to Chang'an will be convenient for both parties. "Today I received your prince's advice, which brings me joy to my life. I will come to pay my respects someday and ask for your advice." When the two of them reached this point, they had already expressed what they wanted to say and express. Ye Chang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am so young. In a word, please don't blame me." "Say." "Why did Wang Zheng ruin his life during the troubled times of the country? , There must be a time when the princes are asked to go out and serve the country. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty and for the people of the world, the princes and princes should cherish this body." When Ye Chang said this, Mr. Cai happened to come in and couldn't help but feel moved. Ye Chang made a good observation. Wang Zhongsi has been plagued by worries and regrets for the past few years. He is now riddled with illnesses. If he can't relax and recuperate, he may not live long. "But even if a young man like Wang Zhongsi holds a big responsibility, reaches the rank of military envoy, and controls nearly one-third of the Tang Dynasty's military strength, how can he be so relieved when he is abandoned in the barren mountains and rivers? The thing that saddened Wang Zhongsi the most, Mr. Cai could roughly guess, was the attitude of Prince Li Heng. It can be said that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming died for the prince, and what the prince did was eager to distance himself from himself, and he wanted to send Wei Jian's sister, Concubine Wei, to be killed by Li Longji. Such behavior is really not considered responsible. Mr. Cai can understand Prince Li Heng's last resort, but he will also recognize his mean and unkind nature. Even Mr. Cai is like this, so what about Wang Zhongsi? He really hoped that Ye Chang could persuade Wang Zhongsi. But Wang Zhongsi just stroked his beard and smiled: "I am old, my body is decayed, and I can no longer use it. The Tang Dynasty and the people are taken care of by you, Ambassador Ye, so why do you need me, a person who will punish sins?" Seeing that he had made up his mind, Ye Chang He secretly thought it was a pity, but did not persuade him much. He bowed his hands and saluted: "Whatever the prince ordered, I will do everything within my power to do it." Wang Zhongsi's eyes lit up slightly when he heard Ye Chang's words. He said to Mr. Cai: "Zhihua, you Call the sheep." After a while, the bearded man came in and glared at Ye Chang angrily. Wang Zhongsi said: "Yang'er, kneel down to Ambassador Ye." Wang Yang'er was surprised: "What?" "Kneel down and kowtow," Wang Zhongsi shouted. Wang Yang'er could only kneel down, still a little unconvinced. Ye Chang did not help him, but looked at Wang Zhongsi: "What does the prince mean?" "Yang'er is rough and reckless, today?I¡¯ll leave it to Ambassador Ye. Please treat him as a personal soldier and allow him to serve in the army so that he can gain some merit and change his background. "Wang Zhongsi said. "Yang'er Warrior, I can't ask for it in my heart. It just depends on his own wishes. "Ye Chang smiled and said: "When a prince is in charge of the army, he should know that military law is ruthless. If he is not convinced, I am afraid that he will be killed by me before he has done any meritorious service. " "Yang'er, from now on you will follow Ambassador Ye just like you follow me. "Wang Zhongsi stepped forward and patted Wang Yang'er's shoulder gently: "I have done a good job and become a high official. Then I can see the emperor to intercede for me. " Wang Yanger's face was full of reluctance at first, but after hearing the next sentence, his expression suddenly changed: "Okay, okay, I will definitely listen to this traitor ah no, Ambassador Ye said, I will do meritorious service earlier." He has a loyal and reckless temperament , Ye Chang actually liked this point, so Ye Chang smiled: "In that case, I will accept him - in the military formation, swords and guns have no eyes, so you must be prepared. " "All the wine bags and rice bags around you have been killed, and I will be fine," Wang Yang'er jumped up and said. Only then did Ye Chang notice that this guy seemed to be kneeling just now, but in fact his knees were not touching the ground. Shixu was squatting there, obviously still unconvinced, but he was only forced to do this due to Wang Zhongsi's order. Ye Chang didn't worry, this guy was a straight man, and Ye Chang didn't believe that he could do it with his own methods. He couldn't even subdue such a fool. Wang Zhongsi surrendered to Mr. Cai again: "Yang'er is reckless and I'm worried about being alone. I also ask Zhihua to follow Ambassador Ye so that he can take care of him at any time. " Mr. Cai smiled bitterly and said: "The prince cares about the future of the two of us. How can I be ignorant? But if I leave, the prince's side" "There are still many people around me to drive, these are so big places. , it¡¯s nothing official, are you still worried that I won¡¯t be able to make it? " Hearing what he said, Mr. Cai could only agree, then turned to Ye Chang, raised his hands and saluted: "A certain Cai Ming, courtesy name Zhihua, is willing to work for Ambassador Ye." "I am here this time. I am short of capable people, and I have Mr. Cai. Help, that would be the best thing. "Ye Chang said with a smile. "What he said was half true and half false. It was really because he really lacked people. Although he had cultivated talents through clan studies as early as eight years ago, those people, including Chun Ming, Now they are working at the grassroots level in Liaodong City, half serving as grassroots officials and half responsible for the education of children in Liaodong. As long as Cai Ming, an experienced civil servant, sincerely joins him, Ye Chang will welcome him. I'm afraid that my thoughts are still towards Wang Zhongsi, so I can use it, but I can't use it with confidence. "Then I'll leave it to Ambassador Ye It's not suitable to have guests in a small house, Ambassador Ye, please do it yourself. " After Wang Zhongsi finished speaking, he raised his hand to see the guest off. Ye Chang did not stop, and went straight out. When he got to the door, he made an appointment with Cai Ming and Wang Yang'er to meet in Rongzhou, and then left with everyone. Li Bai followed him and looked back. Glancing at Yinxian Village, he couldn't hide his words, tilted his head and asked Ye Chang: "Eleventh Master, why don't you ask the prince to come out to help? The emperor allows you to mobilize all the officials in Jiannan. You should have the right to use Wang Zhongsi. " "If Wang Zhongsi is used, this battle will be lost. " "Is the prince such a person? " "Princes and princes are not such people, but my father-in-law and Dr. Yang from Chengdu are such people. If they find out that I have used Wang Zhongsi, the two of them are afraid that they will join forces first and bury me by the Lushui River. " These words made Li Bai's hair stand on end. He thought for a while and finally understood. He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, yes, Li Xianggong will not allow Wang Zhongsi to resurrect under any circumstances, and Yang Zhao can take over Li Xianggong's position, how can he be willing to do so? There are so many complications, there is a person like Wang Zhongsi? " "Not only that. "Ye Chang hesitated slightly, and when he saw that the people on the left and right were his own people, he said: "Although the emperor is old, he still doesn't want to leave. The relationship between Wang Zhongsi and the prince is too close, and the emperor must be suspicious. Li Xiang and Yang Zhao don't want to see the prince ascend the throne." Li Bai suddenly trembled. This involves palace secrets and high-level fights. How can he talk nonsense? He looked at Ye Chang, who had helplessness on his face. , making him let out a long sigh. "Eleventh Lang, it must be very hard for you to work with these people. "If the prince is the prime minister inside, you are outside." "Don't even think about it. The prince is more than enough to preside over a military strategy, but if he sits in the center, he is far worse than Jiayue. " "Ling Yue's reputation is not very good. He dismissed Du Fu and others the year before last, and even congratulated the emperor, saying that he was the most talented person in the wild "Jealousy of talents and talents is not inconsistent with capable officials. In the past, when Yao and Song Dynasties were prime ministers, it was rare to do anything to flatter him." Ye Chang He disagreed: "Tai Bai, when it comes to articles and poems, even if ten of you are concerned, I am no match for you, but when it comes to governing politics, supporting the people, enriching the country, and strengthening the army, even ten of you are no match for me. Do you think so or not?" Li Bai thought for a moment, in his mind He had admitted it a long time ago, but he was dissatisfied: "That's because I never had the opportunity to show my ability. If I had such an opportunity" "Taibai, please stop being so tough. Where is the opportunity for me to go to Liaodong? I remember I have heard from peopleHowever, opportunity only comes to those who are prepared. If you don't have this preparation and talent, where will the opportunity be? Even if there is, I'm afraid it's like Ma Di guarding the street pavilion." Ye Chang is really worried about Li Bai's character. This seems to be a knock, but it actually reminds him to pay attention to the weaknesses of his own character. Li Bai does not take it seriously at the moment. , just laughed it off, and then began to roar loudly, shaking the surrounding areas, causing birds to fly into the sky and flutter away. When leaving Wang Zhongsi Zhuangzi, Ye Chang seemed very anxious, but when he arrived at Nengzhou Tuwei, he was not satisfied. He was anxious. Outside Tuwei, he set up camp and took everyone around, looking very leisurely. Seeing this, Li Bai couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that he came to Nengzhou for more than just meeting. Wang Zhongsi, do you have any other arrangements? Sure enough, after staying in Nengzhou for two days, the person who took care of them suddenly appeared again. At the same time, there was a group of barbarians who came with him. Hearing the news about the arrival of this group of barbarians, Ye Chang was overjoyed and immediately came out to greet him. Li Bai looked a little excited when he saw his expression, and he felt even more surprised that this group of barbarians were some important people who deserved to be so valued by Ye Chang, so he followed him out to greet him. Seeing that the group of barbarians were half male and female, the leader turned out to be a woman. This woman had a graceful figure and beautiful eyebrows. Although her skin was slightly darker, she was still a beauty. When he saw her, Li Bai suddenly realized, and then looked at her with some ambiguity. Looking at Ye Chang, but Ye Chang didn't pay attention to him, but stared at the girl in front of him, cupped his hands and smiled: "I finally see Wei Niang again. " "Ye Langjun, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still the same as before, but I am already old. "The barbarian girl Wei Niang said with a smile. When she smiled, her whole face glowed. It was obvious that she was very happy with Ye Chang's courtesy. "If you are considered old, wouldn't I be unable to walk anymore? Ye Chang laughed, and then said directly: "What do you think of what I said in the letter?" " "Do you really allow me to be independent? " "Not only you, but also the original five edicts, anyone who can help the Tang Dynasty to quell chaos and eliminate enemies can stand on their own. Now I am ordered to conquer the enemy, and the court also supports me. Anyone who expresses my opinions will be accepted." Wei Niang is much more mature than when she and Ye Chang parted in Luoyang. She looked at Ye Chang with a look in her eyes. Doubtful: ¡°That¡¯s it? Aren't you afraid that if one Nanzhao is defeated, another one will be issued? " "Since Nanzhao can be destroyed, the Tang Dynasty can also destroy other imperial edicts. Anyone who has the heart to be disobedient will bring about his own destruction. "Ye Chang said. "I don't know you yet, so you must have other plans." Wei Niang said: "You Han people are the most cunning and cunning." There was not much hatred in her words, but more resentment. Li Bai Frowning, curiosity burned in his heart: Could it be that this barbarian woman in front of him had a past with Ye Chang? Naturally, he didn¡¯t know that Ye Chang had used Wei Niang to obtain cotton. ¡°What I promised you back then. , but they all did it. "Ye Chang said: "Even things that were not promised are now being done." "Humph, originally we sold the white folded cloth to Chengdu, Yizhou, in exchange for salt and ironware. Now the price of the white folded cloth has dropped. Isn't this right? Your masterpiece? " Wei Niang snorted. The sale of cotton cloth is now widespread, and there are people selling it even in Chengdu and Guangzhou. This was originally an industry of the Liuzhao barbarians, but now it has been suppressed by Ye Chang's factory to the point where it can't hold its head up. " Okay, let me tell you the truthyou come with me." Ye Chang waved his hand to her. Only Wei Niang followed Ye Chang to a gentle slope outside the camp, and even Li Bai did not follow. Ye Chang Chang pointed to a field in front of him: "How many crops do you have there? "
