A hint of approval flashed in Li Ke's eyes. This woman is really smart. He said calmly: "I need you to find an opportunity in Prince Wei's palace to prevent Li Tai from making a comeback. I need to consider the specific plan carefully."
Zheng Guanyin's heart trembled. She knew that this task was not easy to complete. The counselors and generals in Prince Wei's palace are not efficient lamps. If they find something wrong, her plan will be ruined.
But she also understood that this opportunity was the only one she could seize. If she can successfully complete the task, her status will also rise. She must proceed carefully so that no one discovers her plans.
"Your Highness, this matter is not trivial. Please think twice." A trace of worry flashed in Zheng Guanyin's eyes and he said: "There are many talented people in the Wei Palace. If they discover something, the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Ke pondered for a moment and said: "You are right, but I believe you have a way to solve this problem. I need you to provide a detailed plan, and I will fully support you."
Zheng Guanyin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will make a detailed plan to achieve His Highness's request."
Li Ke nodded and said, "Very good, you can go."
Zheng Guanyin bowed, turned and left the camp.
Li Ke looked at her back and felt a little worried.
This plan is fraught with danger, but if it succeeds, his position will be more secure.
"Xu Canghai."
Xu Canghai immediately walked into the camp, cupped his hands and said, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Li Ke said calmly: "You arrange for someone to protect Zheng Guanyin secretly. If anything unexpected happens, you must come and report it immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Faced with Li Ke's words, Xu Canghai didn't hesitate and nodded directly in agreement.
"Over the grassland, we should adopt a defensive posture for the time being and go out for sweeps every three days, and then call the Lingzhou Guard officials who are in charge of the economy. The Lingzhou Guard's economy is really bad."
Fifteen minutes later.
Su Su, the official in charge of Lingzhou Wei's finances, also walked in and said to Li Ke respectfully: "I have met the King of Shu."
"Su Su, what do you think of the economic situation of my Lingzhou Guard?" Li Ke asked calmly.
"Back to Your Highness, the economic situation of Lingzhou Guard is worrying." Su Su frowned and said: "Although His Highness has organized caravans for trade many times, Lingzhou Guard's geographical location is too remote and the transportation cost is high, so The size of the caravan has never been large. In addition, the grassland tribes around Lingzhouwei often harass the caravan, which also increases the operating cost of the caravan."
Li Ke pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, Lingzhou Wei's economic situation cannot be improved?"
Su Su smiled bitterly and said: "The geographical location of Lingzhou Guard is indeed too remote, and the surrounding grassland tribes often harass caravans. Therefore, it is indeed very difficult to improve the economic situation of Lingzhou Guard."
Li Ke thought silently.
He needs to find a better way to solve Lingzhou Wei's economic problems.
After a moment, he said calmly: "Su Su, I order you to organize a large-scale caravan to carry out trade deep in the grassland. I will send an army to protect you to ensure the smooth passage of the caravan."
Su Su was shocked and said: "Your Highness, the tribes deep in the grassland are very fierce. If we send troops there, they may be angered. Moreover, the larger the size of the caravan, the more obvious the target will be, and it will be easier to be attacked by the grassland tribes. "
Li Ke smiled slightly and said: "Of course I know this. But I have decided to do this, you just need to do it. If you have any difficulties, just come and report to me."
Su Su's heart trembled. He knew that this mission was very dangerous. But he also understands that if he can successfully complete the task, his status will also rise. He must proceed carefully so that no one discovers his plans.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Su Su cupped his hands and said, "I will go and arrange the caravan."
At the same time, Li Ke was also thinking about his next move.
He knew that sending caravans deep into the grasslands was a very dangerous thing. But only in this way can he improve the economic situation of Lingzhou Guard, and at the same time make the grassland tribes feel his strength and determination.
He needed to find a better way to ensure the smooth passage of the caravan.
After a while, he already had an idea in his mind.
He decided to send Xu Canghai to lead an army deep into the grassland to protect the smooth passage of the caravan. At the same time, he will also order Xu Canghai to find a suitable place to build a city on the grassland to lay the foundation for future development.
Once this idea was formed, Li Ke immediately took action.
He first ordered Xu Canghai to come to see him, and then explained his plan to him.
"Xu Canghai, I plan to send you to lead an army deep into the grassland to protect the smooth passage of the caravan. At the same time, you also need to find a suitable place to build a city on the grassland to lay the foundation for future development."
"Your Highness, are you going to take root in the grassland?"
After Xu Canghai heard Li Ke's words, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Yes, the king does intend to establish an army on the grassland to maintain the safety of the Lingzhou Guard." Li Ke affirmed.
Xu Canghai took a deep breath and said: "His Highness's plan is very dangerous. If the court finds out, it may cause unnecessary trouble. But I believe that as long as we act carefully, we will succeed."
Li Ke said calmly: "Very good, go down and prepare. Remember, this matter must be kept confidential."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xu Canghai bowed, turned around and left the camp.
Li Ke sat on the chair with a little more expectation in his heart.
He knows that this plan is full of dangers, but if it succeeds, his position will be more secure.
At the same time, Lingzhou Guard officials were also running around, busy setting up the caravan.
Although they were a little worried, they did not dare to disobey Li Ke's order.
In addition, Li Ke also secretly sent 3,000 soldiers deep into the grassland to secretly protect the smooth passage of the caravan.
These soldiers are elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous training. They go to the grassland with the confidence of victory.
Soon after, the caravan was formed.
This caravan consisted of 100 carriages, carrying a large amount of tea, silk, porcelain and other items. In addition, there are 500 escort soldiers guarding the safety of the caravan.
The size of the caravan is so large and the goal is very obvious. But Li Ke had arranged in advance for the army to secretly protect the safety of the caravan, so the caravan moved forward smoothly on the grassland.
