The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1206: Conspiracy for the World
Shi Luodie was naturally very clear about these situations, and he also knew that even so, Li You was just trying to show off. The 200,000 people in Qi and Luoyang could follow Li You's orders to attack the Turks.

If Li You wanted to rebel, he probably wouldn't be able to mobilize even a single soldier.

This is also the reason why Li You couldn't wait to become sworn brothers with me and wanted to be tied to me. He really had no way out.

Zu Luodie laughed teasingly, making Li You blush: "Brother, if you raise an army now, let alone rebel against the court, how confident are you that you can establish a separate regime in Hebei?"

"This"

Li You's momentum weakened again, and he said timidly, "Shi Guirong told me before that the Khan's land distribution in Hebei would allow me to immediately increase my army by hundreds of thousands. Was it just a joke?"

"hehe?"

He is indeed a waste, he has the ambition to seize the throne, but he has no talent to support his ambition. Over the years, he has not accumulated any strength at all, but just keeps some assassins in private. What's the use?

When it comes to rebellion, it depends on yourself.

Shi Luodie once again had a profound understanding of Li You's incompetence. On the one hand, he lamented that the other party was a waste; on the other hand, he was completely relieved. Such a person was just a disposable chess piece that he could use and could be scrapped after use.

"Now the Tang Dynasty occupies the entire Central Plains, as well as Liaodong, southern desert, and the Western Regions."

Shi Luodie stopped teasing Li You and told him his next plan: "Don't say that I have only conquered half of Hebei now. Even if I conquered the whole of Hebei, it would not be of much use. Using a small corner of Hebei, surrounded by enemies, to fight against the entire Tang Dynasty is like hitting a rock with an egg."

"Even if you can gather an army of 300,000 or 500,000, these people have limited combat power."

"Moreover, once the rebellion is raised, the imperial court will be immediately cut off from logistics. With so many people, how can we ensure the food and supplies? How can we supply weapons and armor? The imperial court does not need to attack immediately, it only needs to defend and clear the fields."

"Within ten months, the army will collapse on its own."

Seeing that Li You looked a little anxious after hearing this, Shi Luodie waved his hand, signaling him to calm down: "So this Khan has specially planned a foolproof strategy to seize the throne based on your current specific situation."

"Next, you will use the attack on the Khan's Turkic army as a cover to continue to perform your duties as the General of the Eastern Expedition. In the war, you will continue to expand your influence, accumulate food supplies, and increase your strength. Finally, when the army under my command is strong enough to confront the court, you can break off relations and compete for the world."

Li You's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly, "Brother, please teach me. As long as I can regain the throne, I will definitely support you in defeating the Right Wise King and dominating the grassland. From now on, our two families will help each other as we do now."

"Yes, I believe you, brother."

Then, Shi Luodie said, "My dear brother, your position is still unstable. After the failure of Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin, the court is still hesitant about whether you can stabilize the situation and even wipe out the remaining Turkic army. Maybe you are already looking for a new commander."

Li You felt nervous after hearing these words, and he smiled awkwardly.

He knew that the other party was just trying to save face for him. In fact, he had no ability to pacify Hebei, and the court would not have any expectations. He was sent out to show the court's attention and to make a show.

There was no hope for him at all, and now Ken is looking for someone to replace him.

If this is the case, after finally killing Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin, if other people come to replace them, won't I just be a decoration?

"Please save me, big brother." The sense of urgency made Li You completely let go of his reserve.

Shi Luodie nodded and said calmly: "The most important thing at the moment is to make the court believe in your military talent. Therefore, I will lead the remaining troops to fight the Tang army frequently. Of course, it is just to create momentum, and there will not be huge casualties."

"During this process, I will gradually retreat, allowing you, my dear brother, to continue to recover the lost territory."

"With this series of victories and achievements, I believe that you will be able to stop the doubts of the officials in the court, so that they will firmly believe in you and gradually give you greater authority, allowing you to obtain more troops."

Hearing this, Li You was delighted. If this was the case, his reputation would indeed rise greatly. People like Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin could not do this even if they lost 200,000 yuan, but he had done it. It was conceivable that the court would believe in him for a short time.

Li You scratched his head and urged: "Then what?"

"When the Turkic army retreats to Youyan, and you, my dear brother, want to retake the entire Hebei province, you should withdraw the 100,000 Luoyang troops in Xiangzhou to the north on the pretext that you are short of troops and need to conduct a final suppression."

Shi Luodie's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said decisively: "Then I will leave 10,000 or 20,000 people behind to disguise as a large army and deal with your army. Then I will lead the main force to bypass the Tang army and head south to Xiangzhou, Mingzhou, and Xingzhou."

"Take down the last piece of land on Hebei Road."

"However, my dear brother, remember to find all kinds of reasons to keep the Tang army in northern Hebei for more than a month, leaving enough time for Ben Khan's army to attack the city and divide the land." "Ah?"

Li You's face tensed: "Brother, are you going to continue south?"

"Where are you going?"

Shi Luodie said calmly, "I have said before that these people who have been allocated land will be your strongest supporters in the future. The court will never recognize their ownership of the land. As long as you can recognize it, they will stand behind you unwaveringly."

"But if these people are too few in number, they will not be able to fight against the entire Tang Dynasty."

"In my Khan's plan, I want to not only take over the entire Hebei region, but also cross the Yellow River to take over Qi, Henan, Jianghuai, and even Jiangnan. Half of the noble families in the Tang Dynasty are here, and half of the world's wealth is in their hands."

"I will lead the Turkic army to sweep ahead, and you will lead the pursuit army behind. It will be a natural process for us to take over these cities. By then, a huge amount of wealth and food will naturally fall into your hands."

"If we store them, we can also solve the problem of baggage for the army to use in the uprising. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"When most of the people in Shandong have been allocated land and the opposition from the noble families has been wiped out, then you only need to make a call from a high place."

"Under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials, you are actually protecting the interests of the people in Shandong who have been given new land. By then, more than half of the people in the Tang Dynasty will stand up to support you. These are densely populated areas in the Central Plains, with a total population of no less than 20 million."

"With the support of this half of the country, my dear brother will be able to compete with the current emperor. Then we can march westward and break through Tongguan. Who else but my dear brother will be able to take the throne of the emperor?"

"call"

Li You stood up suddenly and walked around in the dilapidated Taoist temple. He was extremely excited. Shi Luodie was indeed a hero. The road he planned for himself to fight for the dragon was no less than the Longzhong Plan that Zhuge Wuhou gave to Emperor Zhaolie of Han.

With such a strategy, he could openly use the title of General Zhengdong to secretly expand his power. By the time the imperial court found out about the situation, he would have grown into a giant that could be compared with the imperial court.

This growth path is indeed much safer than tearing each other apart from the very beginning.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Li You was so excited that he laughed out loud. The anger that had been pent up in his heart for many years was finally released. He felt that he had the country in his hands and the future was promising.

After Li You vented his anger unscrupulously and calmed down, he found Shi Luodie looking at him with a playful look on his face. His face turned red and he said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I've been suppressing it for too long and made a fool of myself."

"Haha, that's okay, my dear brother is also a man of temperament."

Shi Luodie patted Li You on the shoulder and consoled him: "When I was trying to break free from the restraints of the Right Wise King, I was even more out of control than you, brother. It's understandable."

Shi Luodie was also very happy. To solve the aristocratic family problem, one cannot avoid land. But the Tang Dynasty was now firmly bound by the aristocratic family and had completely lost the ability to solve this problem on its own. It could only find a way out from outside.

Use the Turks to tear open a gap, and then let King Li You of Qi continue to expand the results of the war.

They could then legitimately redistribute the land under the noses of the nobles. Finally, they could win the support of the people and use this powerful force to defeat the long-standing problem of the nobles controlling the court since the Wei and Jin dynasties.

During this process, he can calmly observe the methods of the nobles and then respond.

Using the Turks and Li You as pawns, if things go well, then take over calmly; on the other hand, if things don't go well, there are still these two pawns as a buffer. No matter what the result is, it will not affect the stability of the imperial power. This is the best strategy.

It's much better than Li Shimin personally being killed by someone!
Time flies, winter goes and spring comes, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed and it is July of the first year of Kaiyuan.

In the past six months, after the Hebei war lost two great generals, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji, the useless prince Li You unexpectedly held up the overall situation. Although the court received news that the Turks still had nearly 100,000 troops, including cavalry, they should not be underestimated.

But I don’t know whether it was because the losses were too heavy or the Turks were afraid of the Tang Dynasty, but they slowly retreated.

Li You, however, assembled 100,000 infantrymen brought from Qi, marched forward with great vigor and cautiousness, recovered the central area of ​​Hebei, and forced the Turks to Youyan. Under such circumstances, the people in the court were greatly encouraged, and they believed that the King of Qi could solve the problem in Hebei.

When Li You was about to launch the final annihilation war against the Turks, he asked the court to dispatch a large army to give him greater support on the grounds of insufficient troops. After consultation with the important officials of the central government, the 100,000 infantrymen transferred from Luoyang to Xiangzhou, Hebei, were also given to the King of Qi.

The King of Qi immediately transferred the 100,000 city-guarding troops stationed in the southwest corner of Hebei to the north.
