This time Li Hao put a lot of thought into paving the way for a lot of grievances and resentments between An and Wu.
For Li Xun, he was blocked by the Three Kingdoms Alliance several times when he went south. He failed to gain enough and could only watch Su, Chu, and Yan continue to expand their territory.
The desire to conquer in his heart had already expanded infinitely, and it was easily affected by the intelligence about Wu's intelligence deployment that Li Hao asked Jin Yiwei to secretly leak to Anguo Zhu Yiwei.
And judging from the small-scale border war provoked by Li Xuan, it is indeed easier to attack Wu State than to attack the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
At the same time, the most important point is that Su, Chu, and Yan are all constrained by other things and unable to interfere in the affairs of their two countries.
As for Yang Xingyuan, he himself is not that warlike, but the recent unfavorable circumstances in Anguo's war have made him look down on Anguo to some extent.
In addition, he was stimulated by Li Hao's limelight and felt that as an emperor, he should make greater achievements than Li Hao. Defeating and conquering Anguo was undoubtedly the best way to prove it.
After all, An Guo was much stronger than Qi Guo in every aspect.
In addition, he himself also wanted to get rid of the constraints of Zhang Song and Yang Xingjian, so it was appropriate to use military merit as a breakthrough point.
Of course, this alone was not enough. In order to completely seduce Yang Xingyuan, Li Hao also bribed Eunuch Hu around Yang Xingyuan one step ahead.
That is the person who was bribed by Zhu Yiwei in the original drama and provided Zhu Yiwei with the army's defense plan.
Li Hao's use of him was much more advanced. Not only could he make some slanderous lies to guide Yang Xingyuan, but he could also pass on the intelligence he had screened to An Guo and Wu Guo respectively.
Because Li Hao doesn't care who wins or loses between the two countries, all he needs is to keep the war between the two countries in a stalemate for a while and let them both shed more blood.
For this reason, Li Hao even asked Eunuch Hu to say good things to Ning Yuanzhou, thinking of letting him command Liudaotang and have a good fight with An Guo.
It's just that Yang Xingyuan is not very supportable after all. When faced with Zhang Song's strong pressure, he decisively chose to compromise and exchanged Ning Yuanzhou for Zhang Song's support in this battle.
However, in essence, Zhang Song captured Liudaotang just to expand his own power. He did not want Anguo to be defeated, at least not a disastrous defeat that would greatly damage the national power.
With the emperors of both countries intending to start a war, the two countries quickly entered into pre-war preparations. For a time, the entire Central Plains was caught in the flames of war by Li Hao.
It was at this time that Li Hao took the initiative to enter the palace and report to Cui Ming: "Father, regarding the mediation between Chu and Yan, I have some general ideas to report."
Cui Ming is quite interested in this. After all, although he is now wary of Li Hao, he does not doubt Li Hao's ability.
Immediately he boasted: "Well, indeed, I chose the right person. Tell me your thoughts."
When Li Hao heard this, he began to tell his story, but the more he listened, the more doubtful Cui Ming became.
Asked: "Your plan seems fair and reasonable, but if you think about it more carefully, it turns out that it favors Yan State. Why is this?"
Li Hao was also waiting for Cui Ming to ask, so as to bring the topic to the general trend: "The general trend of the world, if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided.
It has been a hundred years since the collapse of the previous dynasty, and now it has reached an era of great strife. Countries are constantly conquering, and the strong will become stronger, and the weak will perish.
At this time, I, Dasu, will naturally open up territory and expand the territory to strengthen the country. When the country is strong, the people will be at peace. Let the sun and the moon shine on all the land, and the rivers and rivers will all be the ministers.
To achieve this goal, we must reform internally in order to enrich the country and strengthen the military, and unite the military and civilians. Externally, we must divide and win over each other, provoke conflicts among various countries, and then gradually annex various countries through the strategy of establishing close ties with distant enemies and attacking closely, weakening first and then becoming strong.
Therefore, after Qi State, our next target should be Chu State. Taking advantage of the unfinished war between An and Wu, we can intensify the conflict between Yan and Chu, and finally unite with Yan to destroy Chu, and then capture Yan State.
Dasu has already occupied half of the Central Plains. When the time comes and we raise troops to the north to destroy An and Wu, we can unify the nine kingdoms, establish the world, and fulfill the long-cherished wish of our ancestors to unify the universe. "
Speaking of this, Li Hao paused deliberately.
I just wanted to see Cui Ming’s reaction.
Although the current trend is purely caused by Li Hao, otherwise even the most ambitious Li Xuan would only think about occupying some cities and collecting some money.
However, now that the involution has begun, it will be difficult to end it. Cui Ming also knows this truth, and he is also ambitious.
Therefore, after listening to the grand scene described by Li Hao to him, he was also excited.
However, many years of experience as an emperor made him know how much effort it would take to realize the big pie that Li Hao had drawn.
In order to think calmly, Cui Ming stood up in front of Li Hao and began to pace.
It took some tea before he calmed down again and asked Li Hao a key question: "Since you have this idea, then show me a charter."
Now that Li Hao is here, he is well prepared and replied: "My son has been working hard for this goal these years and has drawn up a plan for the next five years. Now he is watched by Chen Xi outside the palace and asked my father to give the order. move in."
After hearing this, Cui Ming immediately ordered someone to announce that Chen Xi had brought something into the palace, but he still had some doubts in his heart. When Li Hao entered the palace himself, why didn't he bring the plan in with him.
But after the things were moved in, he knew why Li Hao didn't take them with him, because there were quite a lot of books in front of him, and there were three stacks in front of the hall.
He couldn't help but point and asked in surprise: "Are these all?"
Li Hao affirmed: "These are the detailed rules about governing, governing the people, and managing the army that I have summarized based on my political experience over the years and the situation in various places in Dasu. I would like to ask my father to review it. "
Cui Ming's head felt a little tight when he looked at these things, but thinking of the scene Li Hao had described before, he decided to take a closer look.
"Okay, then leave these things with me. After I read them, I will come to you to ask. As for the matter of mediating between Chu and Yan, let's stop for the time being."
Li Hao naturally had no objection. He had compiled so much and sent it here instead of summarizing the outline and reporting it in person. He just wanted to give Cui Ming time to think and make a rational decision.
Because in this plan, Li Hao has hidden many hidden clues. If he wants to successfully complete the plan, he must be highly centralized, and the only person who can lead the implementation is Li Hao himself.
Therefore, Li Hao needs to let Cui Ming think carefully about whether he is willing to take the initiative to delegate power to Li Hao for the sake of the prosperity of his country, or whether he chooses to stick to his own rights.
But Cui Ming doesn't know this yet. Instead, he is happily immersed in the grand scene Li Hao created for him. He temporarily forgets the previous estrangement and drags Li Hao to have dinner with Wang Yi.
