Chengdu Royal Palace.
Li Tao and a young scribe walked in steadily.
"Li Tao, Li Liu, meet the lord."
"Get up." Xu Mu smiled. Previously, he had learned that the Li Liu brought by Li Tao was his eldest grandson.
But Xu Mu had no objections to these. In the entire general hall, Puppy Fu couldn't move. Li Xiaoyao couldn't be transferred at will because of his status as a knight. As for Wei Xiaowu, he was still too weak in the literary test.
Only Li Liu in front of him, Li Tao's eldest grandson, is the best candidate now. Moreover, the Li family is from Shuzhou and depends on Xishu for survival, so there is no problem with their loyalty.
But deep down in Xu Mu's heart, he was still a little worried. Matters in the South China Sea are extremely important to Xi Shu, and Li Liu is not only an envoy, but also a deputy. He goes to the South China Sea to cooperate with Lao Huang and stabilize the situation on the surface.
"Li Liu pays homage to the Lord."
The young scribe stepped forward and bowed to Chen Jing again.
"I just ask you, if you enter the South China Sea and something really bad happens, what will you do?"
Li Tao also raised his head with interest and looked at his eldest grandson. Everyone has selfish motives, but this grandson of Li's family did not disappoint him, and he finally learned a lot of skills. Although he is not as good as the little monster Han Xin, it will be a great joy for the Li family if he can become a staff member in the future.
Li Liu, who had a handsome face, thought for a while and then said, "My lord, if there is a disaster in the South China Sea, I, Li Liu, will retreat in order to advance. I will first pretend that I, Western Shu, have withdrawn from the situation in the five states of the South China Sea, and then I will find people who are close to Shu and re-enter the situation. "
Xu Mu and Li Tao looked at each other and smiled. Although it was not the best strategy, it at least proved that Li Liu in front of them was a cautious person.
"Li Liu, this time the Nanhai matter will be left to you first. Remember, you must be careful in everything. In addition, there is an address here. After you enter Jiaozhou, you can click on this address to find someone to help you. . Ruan Qiu, the leader of Haiyue in Jiaozhou, is also a member of my family. If something goes wrong, you can go to him to discuss things."
Li Liu was finally moved, knelt down and took the letter from Xu Mu's hand.
Li Tao, who was beside him, also let out a sigh of relief.
"Li Liu, go get ready. When the time comes, Divine Doctor Chen will enter Jiaozhou with you."
Xu Mu looked up and saw that in this situation, it was time for the people in the General Hall to slowly start taking over some things. If the generals and staff of Xishu are at a certain stage, they are in a state of inconsistency and are exposed by someone who is interested, they may fall into crisis.
Xishu is now in danger. Dongfang Jing still has to deal with Sha Rong. Here in Chengdu, we must also start work on the South China Sea Alliance.
This dispute between the North and the South will eventually begin to break out slowly.
…
The river outside Lingzhou.
The naval forces of Xishu and Beiyu were not far away. But at this time, neither side had any intention of fighting. After experiencing what happened with Midao, the previous tense confrontation seemed to slowly disappear.
"Sail!" Shu general Lin Zhong frowned, withdrew his gaze, and continued to move forward along the southern waters with the patrolling navy.
The Beiyu navy not far away, as if there was a tacit understanding, also followed the waters to the north and sailed away.
"General, the brothers are a little unconvinced. General Jiang was ambushed by mistake before, but suffered heavy casualties." On the Beiyu battleship, a group of subordinate captains were obviously filled with hatred.
"What are we going to do? Attack them? Is it possible that my brain is rusty? It is not appropriate to start a war with the Shu people on this river. This is what General Jiang wants and what Changyang wants."
"Of course, one day, our army from Beiyu will definitely march south to cross the river!" General Beiyu gritted his teeth and looked at the Xishu Navy slowly leaving not far ahead.
"It won't be long before we have a fight to the death with Xi Shu!"
…
Lingzhou shore.
"Military advisor, it's obviously the Northern Chongqing navy who attacked me in Xishu first!" Even though things had not gone far, Ma Yi was still a little unwilling.
Dongfang Jing was silent for a moment, "You must understand what my lord means. We are weak and clumsy, and now is the best. Compared to Beiyu, I, Xi Shu, need more time."
"Military advisor, there are no warships in Beiyu now. If we wait along the river -"
"Follow the river and go ashore." Dongfang Jing sighed, "You don't understand. The most perfect strategy for Xi Shu is to defend first and then counterattack. Forcibly attacking first is the best strategy. "
"Chiang Meng's crossing of the river was just the first plan to win. There will definitely be others in the future."
"It's just the first plan, but it's so cruel? Then, military advisor, what should I do next?"
"My lord is already preparing for the next thing." Dongfang Jing laughed and looked sideways in the direction of the five states of the South China Sea.
The war is about to begin, and there is nothing wrong with planning and fighting. But Beiyu people didn't know that at the very beginning, his teacher Du E had already laid a deep plan.
"Ma Yi, how's it going with Yao Rong?"
"What else can he do? He keeps begging for a living in prison, for fear that we will chop his head off."
"Keep it for now. It will be of great use soon."
"By the way, military advisor, I heard someone say before that the King of Beiyu brought back a counselor from Rouran Grassland."
"I have also heard about it. The intention of the King of Beiyu is to let him and Chang Sheng join forces to form a strategic confrontation with me, Western Shu."
"The second old Zhongde?"
Dongfang Jing shook his head, "It's impossible. In the heart of King Beiyu, there is only one old Zhongde, and no one can replace him. I can even say that even if this Xun Pingzi is famous all over the world, he will still be ranked second after Chang Sheng. Sitting on the staff."
"The thoughts of the King of Beiyu, after the death of old Zhongde, are finally different from before. He is a smart man who knows the pros and cons of reusing the family, and the military power will naturally be firmly in his hands. And he is the one who always wins. The biggest reliance."
"Don't underestimate this person. Although he is young, he is introverted, humble, studious and intelligent. As long as you give him some more time, you won't even be able to compete with me."
Ma Yi felt a little depressed.
But at this moment, the military advisor in front of him suddenly added another sentence.
"But I, in Xishu, also have a great talent, and it will also take some time before Qianlong is born. Perhaps, compared to me and my teacher, he is the one who has truly set his sights on great things."
"The green phoenix is like being reborn in nirvana after being bathed in blood."
