Chapter 517 Means
"What methods does Feiyu use in court? Can I hear it?"

"Brother Junyu is also interested in these?"

"I'm really curious." Zhang Jue leaned forward and said, "What Feiyu does is worth learning from me."

He felt that Li Xia was different from Wang Jian.

Wang sticks to Diaoyu City and fights a battle superbly.But after all, we are trapped in one corner, and it is difficult to make overall plans.

Where's Li Xia?His official position is lower than that of Wang Jian, but he looks at the world in his work.

After gaining insight into the internal struggle in Mongolia and taking the opportunity to regain Hanzhong, Zhang Jue originally thought that Li Xia would rest here.

But Li Xia didn't. He sent sentry horses every day to inquire about the news.

Zhang Jue was too curious about how he did it.

"Okay, then tell Brother Junyu."

Li Xia was also examining Zhang Jue.

In his eyes, Zhang Jue is also different from Wang Jian.

Wang Jian is really the appearance of a famous general, but it is a pity that he has made great achievements in the first battle, and he may not have the opportunity to display it in the future, and his age and seniority make it difficult for him to be used by Li Xia.

Zhang Jue is still young, 35 years old, not only capable of fighting well, but also governing the local area, and his official position is just one level lower than Li Xia.

He was not born in a famous family, he joined the army, and was promoted step by step from an ordinary soldier. All his skills were learned little by little over the years.

How hard is it?How many such talents can be produced out of hundreds of thousands of soldiers?
Li Xia believed that Zhang Jue was just curious, but he had other thoughts, so he was willing to share the secret with Zhang Jue.

"People say that I am a member of the Ding Party. It is true that Ding Daquan has supported me in the court these years, but I have also been in touch with Jia Sidao."

"Oh?" Zhang Jue had never had a backer in the court, so hearing this was quite new.

"..."

"Jia Sidao's plan is very simple. After he got my news, he was convinced that Kublai Khan would withdraw his troops, and he would deliberately let Yuan Jie be beaten to pieces in order to bring down Ding Daquan. After that, he will clean up the mess."

At this point, Li Xia knocked on the table, and said: "Ding Daquan is a disaster for the court, it is true that he should be dismissed, but not now."

"Why?"

"Jia Sidao and Lu Wende, it is impossible to support me as much as Lu Wende, because I am not as greedy as Lu Wende, and not as obedient as Lu Wende."

Li Xia said: "The Ding party is different. I am the only one who can fight."

When Zhang Jue came into contact with the party struggle for the first time, he felt it was too complicated, and asked, "But Feiyu just said that you promised Jia Sidao that you would help him bring down Ding Daquan and Wu Qian?"

"No, what Jia Sidao said was... When he brings down Ding Daquan, I will help him deal with Wu Qian." Li Xia said, "I never promised him to deal with Ding Daquan."

Zhang Jue froze for a moment, feeling that he couldn't handle these things.

Compared with fighting wars and governing the people, this is much more difficult.

Li Xia said: "So, I plan to keep Ding Daquan for another year, and let him win the position of Shu Shuai for me first."

"How to keep Ding Daquan?"

Li Xia didn't answer right away, but changed the subject, saying, "Your Majesty, you should be very flustered now."

Zhang Jue thought for a while and asked, "Brother Meng died, and the battle report has already reached Lin'an. No one in the temple would have thought that Kublai Khan would withdraw his troops?"

Li Xia said: "How did I deduce that Kublai Khan would withdraw his troops? A lot of information. At least, we need to understand how the Mongolian Khan is passed on and the disputes among the Mongolian Khans."

"The court doesn't have this information?"

"Have."

Zhang Jue was taken aback.

Li Xia said: "The first time I came to Kaifeng, I spied on these things."

"Then why..."

"Qiwo Wen's Boer Zijin Mengge, mother Yulie's Jilu Heteni, Wokuotai's adopted son, adoptive mother Anghui's, and the eldest married Huolu's daughter Huo Lichai, who first served as a military conscript, Qincha, Wu Luosi, beheaded the chieftains and eight red barbarians, broke and praised the city."

"What did Feiyu say?"

"This is what I have summarized."

Li Xia said again: "Batumu brother instigated Yige Tutacha'er to hurry you to bring Timdie'er, but also to Huatuo Hatimur to lubuchaqira."

"What... what?"

"Name, Brother Meng's confidant. How many people? Who are you? Who is Brother Batu Mu? Brother Mu or Brother Meng? Brother Mo or Brother Mo?"

Zhang Jue pursed his lips.

Li Xia asked: "Do you think that when the information is in front of you, you should understand it no matter what?"

Zhang Jue said: "The court is full of well-educated people..."

"The imperial court that wants to be comfortable and easy to think about is going crazy." Li Xia said: "Even my old capital, Kaifeng, cannot be regained. How can I understand the Han court far away from the sky from these uncommon and unintelligible words?"

"comfortable……"

"From the moment I brought that package into Lin'an, I knew it was useless." Li Xia said, "Everyone is smart and understands a truth. It's useless to spend so much time trying to understand Mongolia. Even if you understand, don't you want to fight? Negotiate peace It’s so simple, to negotiate peace with Liao for more than a hundred years of peace, and to negotiate peace with Jin for another hundred years of peace. This is the easiest way. Even if I chew up every single word and feed it to the imperial court...will the imperial court eat it? "

"Feiyu, you..."

"In addition to obscurity, there is prejudice."

"bias?"

"What do my scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty think of Mongolia? Meng Ge is dead, and of course Khan belongs to the crown prince. Who is the crown prince? Bantu, Asuotai, Yulong Dashi, Xiliji, and Biandu? It doesn't matter. Well, it matters What is it? The ruler of heaven and earth."

Zhang Jue was shocked.

He suddenly understood, understood why Li Xia was able to do these things.

This young man is different from everyone else... There is no restraint on his body, and he has completely escaped from the rules.

There were not many outrageous remarks, Li Xia was just analyzing the thoughts of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhang Jue felt that Li Xia was crazy.

……

"Back to the question that Brother Junyu asked me just now."

Li Xia smiled and said: "Jia Sidao knows Mongolia well and knows that Kublai Khan will retreat. If he doesn't say anything, he will scare the whole court and the public. Then, the fearful court will be under his control from now on. Treat him as the Duke of Zhou..."

~~
Lin'an, Dingfu.

Lu Fengtai hasn't left yet.

He went up to the attic of the guest house, looked at the lanterns in the front yard, and saw a servant coming to pick up Ding Daquan back to his residence.

In fact, when Jia Sidao was transferred to the Xuanfu envoy of Lianghuai, Lu Fengtai had already taken refuge in Jia Sidao secretly.

At that time, the generals of the two Huaihe Rivers and Jia Sidao played Guanpu and gambled together. It was clear at a glance who was loyal to Yuan Jie and who was dissatisfied with Yuan Jie.

Lu Fengtai was the one who hated Yuan Jie from the bottom of his heart.

This time, he was not actually sent by Yuan Jie, because the Mongolian army had just arrived, and Yuan Jie had already fled without knowing where to go.

Lu Fengtai came here at the order of Jia Sidao.

He told Ding Daquan all the angry things that Yuan Jie had done in Huaixi.Waiting to see how Ding Daquan reacts.

If Ding Daquan plays the official family, he will be implicated and dismissed;
And it would be even better if Ding Daquan dared not report it...

However, something obviously changed, and Ding Daquan came back wearing an official robe.

Lu Fengtai waited for a long time, finally, a servant from the Ding family came to bring him food.

"Commander Lu."

"There is no one else here... Did you find out? Why wasn't Ding Qingpi convicted?"

"Dang Ding has done meritorious service again, it's still that Li Xia..."

Lu Fengtai narrowed his eyes.

He recognized Li Xia. Three years ago, he hunted down Dali people in Luzhou, and it was Li Xia who saved those Dali people.

Jia Sidao also mentioned Li Xia, saying that he "may not be a Ding Party".

But at this time, Ding Dang is still relying on Li Xia's credit to win the trust of officials?

"The contribution of Diaoyu City? Lu Shuai and General Wang..."

"No, it is said that Li Xia regained Hanzhong by himself."

Lu Fengtai was taken aback.

"Recover Hanzhong? How is this possible?"

"I don't know."

"Let's go, don't be noticed by the Ding family. By the way, give me a piece of clothing, and I'll go check it out."

……

Moments later, Lu Fengtai changed his clothes, walked quickly through the pavilions of the Ding Mansion, and arrived near the study.

He rushed into the bamboo forest, looked around, and saw the candlelight in Ding Daquan's study in front of him.

After waiting for a long time, the door opened and a person came out.

Then, Ding Daquan went out to see him off.

Lu Fengtai tried his best to squint his eyes, and through the bamboo forest, he glanced at the man when he turned his head.

He unexpectedly discovered that the other party looked familiar.

I only heard the order from the servant Ding Daquan recruited in front: "Prepare the sedan chair."

"Ah Lang in the middle of the night..."

"Ask you to prepare the sedan chair."

"Yes, yes, the villain knows his mistake..."

Lu Fengtai retreated quickly, and quickly turned back to the guest house, wondering where he had seen that person just now...

Suddenly, he had a flash of light.

Luzhou.

That's the person next to Nie Zhongyou...

~~
In the sedan chair, Ding Daquan spread out the letter in his hand again.

"Pause your head and pay homage to each other."

"Xiaben was arrested and imprisoned, and he was supported by the public, and he was appointed as an official in Shu. At that time, the public ordered him to face him, "I should follow the example of Di Qing, fight against the army, assist the saints to promote loyalty, and protect the great Song Dynasty." Xia did not dare to forget it for a moment. To fight against the Tartars, this year, I will follow Lu Shuai to kill Brother Meng and return to Hanzhong, in order to repay the courteous treatment of the Duke and the grace of Your Majesty."

"Recently, I heard Lu Shuai's words that there seems to be a rift between Mr. Jia and Mr. Jia, and there is a word of advice in panic. Don't be surprised. Now that Brother Meng is dead, his younger brother is bound to fight for the Khan position. Mr. Jia will do a lot in Jinghu. To revitalize the society of the Great Song Dynasty. I only hope that the public will take care of the overall situation and act like a good talker. It is really a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty. I have said all this, and I am not very panic..."
