Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 496
With money and food in hand, I really don't panic.

On the same day, Luo Youdu and the Privy Council drew up the purpose of conquering Lingnan.

Luo Youdu had written with Pan Mei earlier.

Pan Mei may be inferior to Cao Bin in terms of commanding the army, but his strategy is undoubtedly better.

When Luo Youdu and Cao Bin divided Jiangnan and Bashu, Pan Mei in Hengyang was not idle.

In addition to defeating the invasion of the Southern Han Dynasty, he continued to send people deep into the Southern Han Dynasty to win over the dignitaries of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Compared with the benevolence of the Qian family of Wuyue and the extravagance of Li Jing and Meng Chang, the Southern Han Dynasty, which is the only fruit left in the Ten Kingdoms, is much more wonderful.

To put it bluntly, Yelang is arrogant and claims to be strong.

When Guo Rong was in power, he still planned to make friends with the Southern Han Dynasty at the beginning. He was unwilling to send troops to the remote Lingnan, thinking that it would be a matter of preaching, so he sent envoys to make friends with the Southern Han Dynasty.

As a result, Liu Sheng, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty at that time, showed off his muscles. He pointed to the rare jasmine flower in the Central Plains and said, "This is Xiao Nanqiang."

The implication is that although I am young in the Southern Han Dynasty, the national power is very strong, and I look dissatisfied with the Central Plains.

This is also the reason why Guo Rong and Luo Youdu have been making trouble for Nanhan.

It wasn't that they used Nanhan as a bargaining chip to intimidate them again and again, it was Nanhan who showed an attitude of disobedience from the very beginning.

Therefore, both Guo Rong and Luo Youdu have the idea of ​​teaching Nan Han a lesson.

In addition to being arrogant, it is also particularly cruel.

Not to mention Liu Sheng who slaughtered his own brothers, nephews and nephews like livestock, and took his niece as his concubine, but only said that the current Liu Yan is a mess.

Especially his "insider" system that has never been seen before or since.

He believes that only those with pure six roots are worthy of trust, because courtiers who can reproduce will refuse to be loyal in order to take care of their children and grandchildren.

Therefore, only those who are willing to come from the palace for him are eligible to be his wife and be reused.

As for foreign officials who want to intervene in the affairs of the DPRK and China, Liu Yan will encourage them to castrate themselves.

Because of this wonderful system in history, the number of eunuchs in the Southern Han Dynasty finally broke through the [-] mark, reaching the historical peak.

But now the history has changed, Liu Yu is still Liu Yu, he still reuses eunuchs and believes in the "insider" system, but the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty are not the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was the third year of Kaibao, and the Southern Han Dynasty was attacked in 1970 AD.

But now it is only [-] AD, which is eight years ahead of history.

After all, any normal person would not have the urge to be cruel to his little brother.

Only a few official fans or people with congenital problems will respond to Liu Yan's call.

In the future, maybe because too many people will be cut off, they will do as the Romans do, and everyone will be cut off naturally, so they will feel that it doesn't matter.But in the current Southern Han court, officials from top to bottom are still very resistant to this kind of behavior of seeking officials from the palace.

There are only three or four thousand eunuchs in the ruling and opposition parties, which is far from the peak.

Liu Yan is also a stubborn ass. If you don't become a eunuch, you won't be given a high official. This has caused many normal people who don't want to leave the palace to feel resentment.

Pan Mei secretly contacted these officials who stood on the edge of their interests and became Buddhas with one thought, and made full preparations for the capture of the Southern Han Dynasty.

If it hadn't been blocked by Dou Yi and others, Luo Youdu would have issued the order to march south long ago.

Pan Mei was fully prepared, and the food and grass were also in place, so naturally no ink was used.

Before the expedition, Luo Youdu specially summoned Qian Hongchu, Liu Congxiao, Shen Huzi, Shen Nian, and Cui Renji to chat about Annan Cochin.

There is no doubt that Annan has been an inherent territory of China since ancient times, just like Dali.

Luo Youdu had long intended to attack, but just like Dali, even more complicated than Dali's situation.

Annan is a place with Han people as the main body, and the scholars in Annan have always regarded themselves as Han people.

But Annan's people are mostly barbarians, and the number of barbarians is extremely large.

The general situation is that the culture of the Han people affects all directions, assimilating the surrounding barbarians, and then the Huayi family is a family, everyone is their own, what is yours is mine, and what is mine is still mine.

But there are too many barbarians in Annan, far exceeding the local Han people.

Therefore, in history, Zhao Guangyi sent his troops to conquer Annan for the shame of Xue Gaoliang River.

This... let Khitan beat him up, why should he find Annan to avenge his shame.

Don't dare to say, also dare not ask.

But the result is shame on top of shame.

After the failure of the Southern Expedition against Annan, the last little influence of the Han people in Annan disappeared.

Immediately, it inevitably merged with the local people. The most intuitive manifestation is that the spoken language has changed from Jiaozhou Chinese to Yuemang.

The language is different, and so is everything else.

Since the Song Dynasty, Annan Jiaozhi has officially separated from China. Although Zhang Fu, a general of the Ming Dynasty, once regained it, the people's hearts have been lost. There is no way.

In the end, Zhu Zhanji gave up Annan in order to get out of the quagmire, and Annan was no longer owned by the Central Plains.

Now the Han people still have a certain influence in Annan, and Luo Youdu also has the intention not to repeat the same mistakes and regain Annan.

However, Luo Youdu is more aware that the recovery of Annan requires an opportunity and the support of the local Han people.

The population there is dominated by barbarians, but most of the core scholars are Han Chinese.

Without the support of the local Han people, if they take it by force, they will probably face the local barbarians directly and fall into the quagmire of war just like the Ming Dynasty.

Although it will not fall into the same situation as the Ming Dynasty, it will not end well.

After all, the real enemy is Khitan.

Annan can wait, but Khitan cannot wait.

If you have a chance, you can intervene, if you don't have a chance, forget it.After getting Khitan done...

Liu Congxiao had told Luo Youdu a lot about Annan's situation.

But at that time, it was ad hoc and not comprehensive enough.

After Liu Congxiao went back, he summarized some situations in detail, and said: "I told Your Majesty about the Twelve Envoys' Rebellion before, and I went back and thought about it, and I thought of a man named Ding Buling. Very, the Southern Jin king Wu Changwen, who is known as the king of all victories, led the attack together with Tiance king Wu Changji, but they couldn't help Ding Buling. Now this Ding Buling is the most famous hero in Annan."

Shen Huzi said: "When I was drinking with the envoy of the Zhancheng Kingdom, I also heard him mention this Dingbuling. The envoy of the Chamcheng Kingdom predicted that the one who settled Annan must be the Dingbuling."

Luo Youdu is not very familiar with Annan's history, and has never heard of Ding Buling, but he knows that there was a Ding Dynasty in Vietnam.

From this point of view, this Ding Buling is likely to have a close relationship with Ding Chao.

Luo Youdu summed up some information about Annan, and he personally wrote a letter to Pan Mei, explaining the key points of the matter.

Then he was given the power to make his own decisions.

Pan Mei is on the front line and knows the situation best.

Luo Youdu is not defenseless against generals, and many of the generals and schools around Pan Mei are his cronies and eyeliners.

But defense is defense, the commander-in-chief's decision-making power on the front line, he never interferes.

No kidding in this regard.
