The day after the imperial banquet ended, Guo Wei asked Chai Rong, several of his husbands, including Ye Hua, to go there.

According to the previous rules, Ye Hua was not qualified to attend the imperial meeting, but he explained the situation of Nan Tang very clearly in front of Xu Xuan. Guo Wei felt that it would be no harm to call him over and listen to his opinions.

"Champion Hou, I want to ask for advice, where did you know about the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Wei Renpu was very curious. As the husband in charge of the mechanics, he still knew not much, how could Ye Hua know?

"Mr. Wei, you know that I am not like you. I am in the office every day, staring at the mountain of documents, strategizing and winning thousands of miles, relying on things on paper, and I am unreliable. I like to deal with all the businessmen, craftsmen, and ordinary people. I dare to guarantee that you can stay in the inn of the Southern Merchant for ten days, and ensure that everything is clear. It is more effective than spending money and buying information."

Wei Renpu didn't know whether Ye Hua was saying true or false, and he didn't know what to say, but Li Gu laughed, "Mr. Wei, I see that the words of Champion Hou are true. Look, I went to the countryside for half a month to collect dishes, and I felt that it was better than reading for ten years. You should also experience it. Champion Hou, what you said, is called... down-to-earth!" Li Gu smiled, "It's down-to-earth. Your husband Wei lacks ground-to-earth, so he has no confidence!"

Li Gu was unscrupulous and happy with Wei Renpu.

Old Wei endured a stomachache and was too lazy to see him. The person named Li was just unlucky and insisted on pulling others into the water. When everyone was covered in mud, don’t laugh at the second brother.

In fact, the couple’s leisurely jokes meant that they were full of confidence and strong confidence!

When Guo Wei arrived, everyone put away their smiles.

Li Gu was the first to speak, as the saying goes, before the army moves, the three envoys are responsible for this.

"Your Majesty, summer grains have begun to be collected one after another. This year's summer tax can be more than 30% higher than last year!"

"Oh!" Guo Wei was shocked, "Why are there so many?"

"Your Majesty, more than 100,000 Han people returned to the Central Plains last autumn and winter, including Linzhou, Hedong, and Yanyun. After these people were given land, they worked very hard. According to my estimate, the autumn harvest will increase!"

Guo Wei widened his eyes, "Why?"

"I have to thank Guan Junhou for this. His workshop provided hundreds of thousands of agricultural tools. The speed of ordinary people reclaiming farmland wasteland has accelerated. With more than millions of acres of land, how can autumn grain not be increased!"

After hearing Li Gu's words, Guo Wei smiled happily.

Without food, everything is useless, but with food, you have a clear idea!

This battle is affordable by the Great Zhou!

Next is to discuss how to fight.

Wei Renpu is an expert in this regard, but he is unwilling to speak up. Instead, he smiled at Ye Hua, don’t you understand Nan Tang, come on!

Ye Hua frowned for a long time, but he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Actually, now is not a good time to fight Nan Tang!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone made them swear. You kid was yelling to kill this and chop that, why did you have to take action? Instead, you became timid?

"I mean that the Southern Tang destroyed the Min Kingdom a few years ago, suppressed Wu and Yue to fight, and also destroyed Nan Chu. Their soldiers were the most powerful, and they were proud, so it was not appropriate to go to war with them in full swing. Moreover, when we move troops, we must beware of the Northern Han and Khitan, which is the biggest threat!"

"You can't fight a big fight, but it's not interesting if you fight a little like a tickling shoe. Therefore, this battle is just right, and it will make Nan Tang feel hurt so much that he can't completely turn against us."

Wei Renpu grabbed his beard and smiled slightly, and Ye Hua's view coincided with him.

"Champion Hou, what are your tricks?"

"I can't talk about a good trick, I think we should join forces with Wu Yue!"

Wu and Yue were also one of the separatist countries in the south. The territory was mainly Zhejiang and Fujian, guarding the long coastline, and the country was very rich.

The Southern Tang occupied the two Huaihe areas, roughly equivalent to the Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi areas in later generations... They were both neighbors and natural mortal enemies. The two sides often went to war, and the strong Southern Tang always suppressed Wu and Yue, especially Li Hongji, who fought Wu and Yue in a mess.

Wu Yue had suffered from the Southern Tang for a long time and needed strong support. As long as the Great Zhou gave Wu Yue a little care, he would immediately post it. Wu Yue's combat power was not very good, but they had a navy and were first-class navy!

The biggest difficulty for the Great Zhou Dynasty to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty was the natural danger of the Huai River. The climate and terrain of the north and south sides were different. If the northerners suddenly moved south, they would suffer losses.

It would be no problem if the navy from Wu and Yue could borrow it to cross the Huai River.

"Your Majesty, I think there is a critical time to cooperate with Wu and Yue. It is to use the navy of Wu and Yue to attack the salt field in Lianghuai, and then we cut off the salt supply together. We will trap the Southern Tang for a month or two, so that they will not have salt to eat! I want to see if the powerful Li Hongji can turn into salt!"

Ye Hua is known as the champion Hou, and outsiders think that he is the best in the three armies and can be a tough guy. In fact, these people are all wrong. Ye Hua has never liked to take risks.

He believed that if you can solve it outside the battlefield, you will never get it on the battlefield, because the risk of fighting is too great. Even experienced eagles may be kicked by rabbits.

Therefore, we must launch a few scapegoats, use all kinds of means to toss the prey until it is dying, and then take action to make a cool kill, show the world's number one style, accept cheers, worship, flowers, applause... This is the battle mode that Ye Hua likes.

Very vulgar, but very useful.

All the old foxes present, not only were they not surprised by Ye Hua's idea, but they also agreed very much.

Wei Renpu said: "Your Majesty, the old minister adds that last year, the Southern Tang destroyed the Southern Chu, but they did not swallow the land of Jingchu."

Nanchu was a country established by Ma Yin, mainly in the two lakes. After Ma Yin's death, his sons were trapped in the killing, fighting for power and power, and making the country messy.

The Southern Tang took advantage of the chaos to send troops to destroy Nan Chu.

If the Southern Chu was successfully annexed, there might be another situation of separatist rule of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. With the national strength of the Southern Tang, it would be enough to compete with the Great Zhou.

Unfortunately, the Southern Tang failed, and the generals of the Southern Chu rebelled one after another and expelled the Southern Tang people.

After driving the enemy away, these generals killed each other and had no peace at all. The largest force at present is Zhou Xingfeng, who had no intention of calling Wang Jianguo, but was just conservative invasion.

"The Southern Tang had the intention to annex Jingchu, and Zhou Xingfeng would be in panic all day long. At this time, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty came over and gave him some benefits, so that Zhou Xingfeng could inspire him to raise an army. In this way, he would attack from three sides and not worry about defeating the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

OK!

Wei Renpu was even more cruel than Ye Hua. Even if Zhou Xingfeng did not send troops, he could cut off the waterways in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and station people on the border, which would attract a lot of troops from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The king and his ministers became happier and happier the conversation, and a big net against the Southern Tang Dynasty had already been opened.

The envoys from Wu Yue and Jing Chu asked Wei Renpu to arrange that Wu Yue must send smart and capable people, not only to persuade Wu Yue to send troops, but also to borrow the navy and block the salt.

Ye Hua recommended Zhao Pu to do this, and received Wei Renpu's consent.

When fighting, one thing is important, one should know how to unite and unite and use all the power. The biggest problem of Southern Tang is that he has a bad popularity. He offended him all the time. When he encountered something, he didn't even have a helper.

This time, Guo Wei decided to lead the army in person and stay Chai Rong to supervise the country.

Other veterans, such as Wang Yin, Guo Chong, Liu Ci, Fu Yanqing, and Wang Jing, were all left to Chai Rong, including Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. With them, even if the Khitan and Northern Han jointly invaded, they would not be able to do anything to the Great Zhou.

Guo Wei was surrounded by Wei Renpu and Zhang Yongde, and a large number of young generals, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong, Gao Huaide, Fu Zhaoxin and Yang Ye, all of them were listed.

Of course, it also includes Ye Hua's cavalry guards.

Guo Wei also issued a special order to protect the safety of the sage.

"I've left all my life to you. What is the Cavalry Guard? It depends on how he performs this time!"

What else could Ye Hua say? He could only pat his chest, "Ensure it will be foolproof!"

But he was sweating from the Jin Palace. The cavalry guards had just been training for two months, and the queue had not yet left! It seemed that they had to use the period before sending troops to train well, otherwise they would be able to make a big fuss!

Ye Hua was in a hurry, but the other person was furious. He was the son-in-law Zhang Yongde, father-in-law, why did you believe in Ye Hua so much?

I am the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office!

I am the one who is responsible for protecting the car! It is me!
