I don't know who presided over the construction of the Anton Protectorate's Mansion, but it was built to be as big and luxurious as the Koryo Palace in Kaijing. Li Yan couldn't help but think of the time when he lived there!

But Li Yan soon became vigilant: "Could these guys want to force me to become king?"

In fact, this voice has been around for a long time.

Moreover, not all those who make such voices are those flatterers, there are also many influential and knowledgeable people-they think that Li Yan is now fully qualified to be king, and in addition, the title is not enough, not enough Gather the heroes.

But Li Yan always remembers in his heart "build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king"!
Moreover, Li Yan knows better than anyone that it is not yet time!
Therefore, Li Yan can't just be a young bird and develop his own strength. When the time is really ripe, it will be the last word!
Of course, the reason why Li Yan dared to keep pressing this matter was because Li Yan had strong control over his own power, and he was not afraid of being forced by them, let alone replaced by them, because no one else Li Yan had such strength, even if they forced him to push him. Can't push it out.

When he came to Fengtian Hall, Li Yan found that there was only one chair in the entire hall.

Li Yan paused, then glanced at Wen Huanzhang and the others, and said, "Follow me to the apse to talk."

After speaking, Li Yan raised his legs and walked towards the apse.

Li Yancai didn't believe it, it was caused by someone's mistake, it was obvious that someone wanted to persuade him to come in.

Wen Huanzhang and others wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare to fight Li Yan. In the end, Wen Huanzhang, Sun Jing, Zhu Wu, Zhao Ding, Chen Kangbo, Li Shisen, Chen Gongfu, Guo Yong, Jiang Jing, Jin Fushi, Qiao Daoqing, Pei Yan Xuan, Tang Long and others could only go to the apse with Li Yan.

When he came to the apse, Li Yan saw that there was only one chair again.

This time, Li Yan sat down honestly.

When Wen Huanzhang and others came in, Li Yan said, "What are you going to do?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Wen Huanzhang stood up and said: "Governor, now Jeju, Lelang, Zhenfan, including Taiwan counties are all developing well. You have four counties, 20 soldiers and horses, and a population of more than 400 million. , it’s not appropriate to serve as the chief protector..."

Li Yandao: "The area of ​​the Anton Governor's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty is several times that of ours, and I haven't seen their most guards dare to go beyond it."

Tang Longdao: "Gongfu has already become the king with only one county. Tian Hu and Wang Qing, the two clowns who gathered in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, dared to become the king when they gathered a group of mobs. Fang La was called Shenggong just after the uprising, and the governor Your strength is dozens of times stronger than theirs, but you are only the general guard, it is a bit..."

Li Yan looked at Tang Long and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Tang Long bit the bullet and said, "It's...it's a little too humble."

"Humph!"

Li Yan snorted and said, "Do you know that the rafters in the early years rot first?"

Sun Jingdao: "Great governor, the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty committed suicide by themselves, leading to Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La's rebellion. If we also follow the uprising, there is a high chance of overthrowing the unpopular Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and Tian Hu, Wang Qing, How could Fang La be your opponent, Commander-in-Chief? Besides, no one knows that you, Commander-in-Chief, have deployed a surprise army behind them... Commander-in-Chief, if you revolt at this time, you are likely to become the Lord of the Central Plains !"

Qiao Daoqing then said: "With your prestige in Shandong and Hebei, the Governor, these two places are at your fingertips. At that time, as long as you ascend to the top, you will surely follow like a cloud. With the financial resources and food you have, the Governor It will be easy to expand the army to 20, but then you will have an army of 40, where can you go anywhere in the world?"

Li Yan laughed back angrily, and said: "You guys have chosen a good place for me. This Hebei borders Liao Nanjing in the north, Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty in the south, and the strongest Western Army and Xixia in the Song Dynasty to the west. In the land of the Four Wars, how do you want me to win the Central Plains?"

This place in Hebei is indeed not good, but Li Yan's greatest influence is here. If he goes to other places, it is impossible to gain a foothold all at once, let alone accomplish anything.

Sun Jing said: "Although Hebei is adjacent to Liao and Yanjing in the north, the Liao Kingdom is too busy to take care of itself now. The Jin Kingdom's army has already crossed the river and stationed. If the Great Governor revolts at this time, the Liao Kingdom will most likely win over the Great Governor as a reinforcement."

Qiao Daoqing said: "The Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty does not dare to act rashly. If he dares to move, we will contact Xixia, attack it back and forth, and eliminate this biggest threat in one fell swoop."

Sun Jing said again: "The Central Guards of the Song Dynasty are not to be feared. Their ability to build gardens is far stronger than their ability to fight. As long as our army is assembled, we can directly cross the Yellow River to attack Bianliang in Tokyo, and then the general will supervise you. Then you can ascend the throne, and then pacify the Quartet in the name of the Lord of the Central Plains."

After listening to Sun Jing and Qiao Daoqing's analysis, Li Yan knew that they had made a thorough consideration and it was not just a whim.

And this situation is often the most difficult to dispel.

Li Yan looked at Chen Gongfu and asked, "Guo Zuo, what do you think?"

Chen Gongfu said: "Da Duhu is only from the second rank, which is only equivalent to a Jiedu envoy of the Song Dynasty. It is really not conducive to development. Your rank should keep an absolute distance from all civil and military officials, and do not give people the opportunity to alienate."

Chen Gongfu is an admonisher, and he is an admonisher who advocates integrity and loyalty and speaks out without looking at other people's faces. He said that Li Yan's current rank is low, and he may be used by the unscrupulous monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. That means Li Yanxian's current level is really problematic.

Li Yan turned his head to Zhu Wu again, and asked, "Zhu Sima, what do you mean?"

Zhu Wudao: "If the governor is in trouble now, there is a [-]% chance of becoming the master of the Central Plains."

Li Yan asked: "The other [-]%?"

Zhu Wudao: "Curl up for at least ten years."

In fact, this is the real reason why they want to persuade them.

They are all confident that even if Li Yan cannot win the Central Plains, he will definitely be able to return to maintain the current situation. The Song Dynasty has no ability to cross the sea to encircle and suppress Li Yan, and even if Gao Li and Taifeng unite, they cannot defeat the well-developed Le Lang , Zhenfan two counties, and take a step back, even if Lelang and Zhenfan two counties are taken down by them, even if they take down Jeju County, Li Yan and Taiwan County can still be the lords of a country.

Moreover, Li Yan is young, even if he loses this time, he still has a chance to win the Central Plains.

Li Yan turned his head to Zhao Ding and asked, "Yuanzhen, what do you think?"

Zhao Dingdao: "The one who is worried about is the Kingdom of Jin. I'm afraid that the enemy of the declining Liao Kingdom will be able to conquer the Kingdom of Jin, which is good at fighting. However, we will border on the Kingdom of Jin. The result is unpredictable."

Sun Jing said: "Yuan Town is too much to worry about. Although the Liao Kingdom is in decline, it is not something that the small Jin Kingdom can challenge. Taking a step back, even if the Jin Kingdom can defeat the Liao Kingdom, it will be a few years later. The current Jin Kingdom The difference from the Liao Kingdom is still too far away, the reason why the Jin State put on the momentum to attack the Liao State is just to let the Liao State recognize the territory that the Jin State has acquired."

It has to be said that Sun Jing's analysis was actually correct, so much so that Zhao Ding couldn't refute it.

But Li Yan knew that Sun Jing missed it.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi is a faint king who can compete with Zhao Ji, but Wanyan Aguda is an emperor who has received a "perfect" evaluation. The key is that even God is on the side of the Kingdom of Jin, so the Kingdom of Liao is doomed to be a dead fish One, and soon.

In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty has not yet suffered a serious injury.

In addition, Goryeo and Taifeng still have 40 to [-] soldiers and horses eyeing their own territory.

If these parties united, how could Li Yan be able to resist?

Therefore, now is not the time for Li Yan to jump out.
