In Anyang, Li Xian sat in a high position, and below him were not only Xu Ren and others, but also business representatives at the end of the team. Anyang's industrial and commercial reforms had become increasingly in-depth, and the status of businessmen began to rise steadily.
Xia Qingqing sat on the lower right side of Li Xian, with a phoenix crown on her head, her face holy and serious, with a hint of sadness, and she was also wearing a linen robe, which represented mourning.
Xu Ren and others beside him looked serious. Today's meeting would determine the future of Anyang.
Li Xian turned around and looked at Wu Peng, "Wu Peng, where are the people from Jin State now?"
"Reporting to the Governor, he took the train south to Nanyang County and visited Nanyang Prefecture. He never came out again!"
"Ambition!" Li Xian said in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "It seems that Anyang has not taken any action, so others look down on him."
Li Yuanming stood up and said, "Master, if Anyang wants to develop, it needs a war, a hearty victory, and an unprecedented slaughter! Majesty needs to be built with blood! In the fairyland, in the early stages of our development, only by making others afraid, will Anyang have space for peaceful development."
Li Xian thought about it and nodded in agreement. Although Li Yuanming's methods were somewhat cruel, he often hit the nail on the head. This might be another advantage of the poison scholar, because without any concerns, he could see things clearly!
But excessive killing is not in line with Li Xian's philosophy, and it will also bring a lot of unnecessary trouble. So Li Xian turned to look at Xu Ren, "Sir, do you have any good ideas? We need a war to establish our authority. But in order to maintain the business environment, we can't take the initiative to attack others. At least we need a good excuse."
Xu Ren smiled confidently, "Master, don't worry. Opportunities will come when they come. Wuyang City can only hold out for three days at most. By then, the heroes will be leaderless and will fight for their own interests. By then, the prince, the Luliang County army and the Dongyuan County army who are on a long expedition will definitely return. Given the prince's character and our past grievances, he will definitely attack us along the way. Once the prince attacks us, others will sit back and watch the fight, or even add fuel to the fire."
"In your opinion, how will Wuyang City develop?"
Xu Ren smiled confidently, "It will be an interesting mess. Anyang County is between the Crown Prince, the base of Luliang County and Wuyang County. The wisest thing for them to do is to withdraw to Luliang County and hold on to one side after they ascend the throne in Wuyang City and the Imperial Palace. Songzhou County is between Nanyang County and Wuyang County. They will plunder some of the wealth and then withdraw to Nanyang County; they may attack Songzhou County along the way. Wuyang County is directly bordered by Baofeng County and Xin'an County where the eldest prince is, Guangling County occupied by the third prince, the false emperor, and the Wang family, and Songzhou County occupied by Gao Bin. To the east of Wuyang County are Anyang County and Kaiping County where the young master and the old master are. For the time being, we will not move our troops here, and the other three parties will try their best to divide Wuyang County. We don't need to take any action now, just wait for the Crown Prince to launch an attack."
"Let me add one more thing," Yan Ze'an stood up, "If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will ascend the throne in Wuyang City. If he attacks us again after ascending the throne, we will at least have a nominal advantage, and we cannot attack or detain the prince. So I think we should send the prince back to Wuyang City after defeating his army. We must not let the prince return to Luliang County."
