As time passed in the Tang Dynasty, Yeluqi became even more convinced and recognized by his and his master Hai Chanzi's vision.
Nowadays, the layout of the Emperor of Liao Kingdom has not been completely completed, and he cannot put complete pressure on the Central Plains, and the maximum pressure has not yet been reached. Haichanzi will not push himself to the front of the stage prematurely.
After all, the rise of the Northern Sect can rely on the imperial court, but it must not interfere too much in the political affairs of the imperial court.
When the Central Plains was in the hands of Guo Wei, it seemed to be a complete vassal town. After it was in the hands of Guo Rong, the Northern Han Dynasty was separated first. Then he was instigated by the Liao Kingdom, which completely disrupted the current situation in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom had to be cautious. It was not sure to go south, so naturally it could not be done at once.
"What do you think?" The old man was also looking at these people. After seeing Xiao Cheng, he seemed to be looking at them with a bit of appreciation. But his eyes lingered for a moment and then passed by. But after seeing Lin Renzhao here, he actually took a second look. He seemed to be thinking for a while, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and he asked Su Hou not knowing what he was thinking.
He seemed not to notice what was going on here and continued to chat quietly with Su Hou. Perhaps with the previous example, what is frightening now is that this row of soldiers and cavalry on the street are actually standing on the roadside with bows and arrows. Even though the arrows are pointing down and looking this way, it is enough to be moving.
After all, it is really surprising that the guards dare to use force openly in Jinling City, especially the elite cavalry from other places.
"This is a dispute between rivers and lakes, and the imperial court will not intervene. What's more, there have been constant wars in the south and north of the Yangtze River in the past two years. This kind of battle is common among the people. In the past two years, when walking in the Yangtze River Basin, the forces of various vassal towns gathered in Jinling. It was also well-known to the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty." Su Hou was not surprised, but he was rarely cautious in his words.
The Tang State is now in the hands of Li Jing. At best, it is a vassal town recognized by the Central Plains. At worst, it is just a vassal town united by a force, lingering on when the north is not able to move south.
At the beginning, when they were also independent here, several huge forces were formed, and even the Central Plains regime was a little helpless. Now, as the actual person in power in Tang Dynasty, Li Jing's nominal management rights have actually existed in name only. Because moving the capital south is already well known in Jinling City.
Having received support from the Central Plains, it can be said that it has nothing to do with Li Jing, but is his shame. Although these separatist forces seem simple, each one of them is a capable existence that can change everything. As a monarch himself, now demoted to a prince, one can naturally imagine the shadow area in his heart.
"The Tang State is still in charge of the vast area of the Tang Dynasty. On the surface, it is attached to the Central Plains. Firstly, Li Jing does not have the courage to do so now. Secondly, he is caught between the Central Plains and the barbarians. While the Central Plains is still there, he does not dare to take the initiative to separate. And the Northern Expedition, this is a sure thing." Su Hou saw clearly, after all, the Xiaoyao Sect has a deep foundation!
"I didn't expect to cultivate for many years, but you also understand that after seeing today's situation, Li Jing is actually a little helpless. The actual situation is here. If you want to unify the whole territory or develop outward, the Tang State is truly surrounded by enemies on all sides. "The old man's expression remained unchanged, but his voice reached Su Hou's ears unhurriedly.
"Now, whether it is for the sake of appearance or for the magnanimity of trusting the Central Plains, Li Jing has to admit to the outside world that he is a warlord under the Zhou State. And Guo Rong of the Zhou State is obviously not a person who takes advantage of loopholes. Li Jing deeply understands this. "Su Hou looked at Yeluqi and naturally understood that the matter was not simple.
Because he knew that Li Jing was waiting, waiting for someone who could encourage and support him to unify the Central Plains again, and then he would stick to the Tang Dynasty, and when the time came, he would raise his arms and unify the Central Plains from south to north. After all, the Xiaoyao Sect has a foundation in the palace, and the Xiaoyao Sect can still control many things about Li Jing.
"Could it be that you have lost control of Li Jing?" The old man was obviously not surprised by Su Hou's words, and even seemed to be very familiar with them: "Is this the reason why Li Jing is so unscrupulous? Remember what he said about protecting yourself? , that is the greatest success, and now I obviously understand the meaning!”
Su Hou knew the identity of this old man, and even though Xiaoyao Sect had achieved today's achievements, Su Hou still didn't feel proud at all. Regardless of the current situation, without the support of the Xiaoyao Party from the Tang State, not to mention being annihilated by the Zhou State, the surrounding separatist forces would have been enough for Li Jing to drink.
"Now Li Jing's methods and decisions have been made clear to the political situation as early as a year ago. He believes even more that his choice is correct. In this troubled world, it is rare to find a good master, and it is even more rare to have the opportunity to develop. , he has to leave a way out." Su Hou was a little sad, but he naturally understood the current situation.
"Hai Chanzi rushed to help Jinling City this time. Although these people came in a hurry without much preparation and understanding, and it seemed to be full of difficulties along the way, it can be said that the northern faction crossed blatantly and did not care about the Taoist clan in the south at all. Pai, I think I admire him a little bit." The old man actually smiled, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If we can unite with Li Jing, then the vast area in the Tang Dynasty will be controlled by the Khitan. At that time, even if Li Jing carries the name of the envoy of the feudal town, it will only exist in name only." Su Hou He looked thoughtfully at the old man, still cautious.
"To encircle the Central Plains, we need someone to join forces with the Khitan inside and outside. I don't know what happened to the rest of the separatists, but at least the Khitan team, at least no matter what their actions, do not want any accidents to happen to the Tang state." The old man thought slightly, Something seemed to come to mind.
"Whether it was out of personal desire or Li Jing's self-confidence, the Khitan's rescue operation, although the success or failure of the matter cannot be attributed to any one person, but really getting help is the best ending!" Su Hou's expression relaxed, and he suddenly understood when he saw Yeluqi.
"Since the defeat of the previous dynasty, many warlords have had disputes here. Nowadays, many places have been abandoned, and it is often difficult to see human habitation for hundreds of miles. Year by year, the past glory is gradually annihilated. If it were not for the Yangtze River waterway, I am afraid it would have been abandoned long ago. ." The old man suddenly became a little calm, and even seemed to understand.
However, there is no way in this world! All things are truly selected by nature and have their own natural biological chain.
Isn’t it the same with people?
Here, standing at a high place, you can see that the streets seem to be filled with debris, and you can't tell what the situation is at all. However, there are several boatmen on the Qinhuai River, who are working hard to rock the oars or use poles to control the speed and direction of the boat. All this seems normal, no different from usual crossing.
Everything in the world is so helpless!
