Back at his room on the second floor of the town center, Li Xu asked someone to send hot water to wash and put on a light and comfortable dress.

The manager of the kitchen, which specializes in cooking for two bigwigs, Li Xu and Tan Lun, came to ask for instructions on when the meal will start.

Li Xu ordered the meal to be delivered to the big bell on the top floor of the town center, placed it on the small square table that someone brought up, and sat opposite Tan Lun and a small stud, and chatted while eating.

Although they are all home-cooked dishes, there are still vegetables and meat now, and the tableware that serves the dishes are all exquisite white porcelain tableware.

I have previously collected the property of the Wang family and five other families. In addition to valuable gold, silver, treasures, grain, cloth, etc., there are many commonly used daily necessities, including many exquisite tableware, wine utensils, and even cooking utensils.

These white porcelain tableware with unique shapes and fine textures in front of Li Xu are one of them.

In addition to porcelain products, there are also many utensils made of gold and silver, and even a few glass wine cups.

Although the shape is simple, it is not as good as the glass wine glasses sold at the night market stall in Li Xu's previous life, it is absolutely rare in this era.

At this time, there was a glass wine cup in front of Li Xu and Tan Lun.

Li Xu picked it up and took a look and was no longer interested. After all, he had seen many glass products in his previous life, so it was impossible to be rare.

But in Tan Lun's eyes, it was a different feeling. It was really rare to feel that the lord was young but not lingering with these luxurious foreign objects.

When Li Xu came back, he brought several jars of wine. At this time, the wine in the glass in front of him was what he brought back.

He picked up the glass wine cup filled with wine, and Li Xu smiled and said, "It's really hard for Zili to manage the Zhuangzi during this period. I'm toasting you with this cup."

Tan Lun raised his glass with a smile, and the two greeted each other and drank it all in one go.

Then, Tan Lun gave Li Xu another cup.

Li Xu told Tan Lun about the rewards of the court and the next step in preparing to form a large army to suppress the rebellion.

After hearing this, Tan Lun immediately said: "The Qin court is worried that local forces will grow, so he would rather risk the central emptiness than form a large army to quell the unrest as soon as possible."

Li Xu agreed and said, "That's why I was given a temporary official position as the so-called ambassador to fight against thieves. It is estimated that this time, the pride of heaven, Lin Yi, was the commander of the heavens. In addition to suppressing the rebellion, he also sorted out and weakened local forces."

Tan Lun nodded and said, "What the lord said is very true. The separatist disaster of the vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years. If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be such a chaotic world as in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Therefore, the courts of all countries would definitely want to avoid local forces as much as possible to prevent the emergence of a second hero like Zhu Wen or Li Cunxu."

Li Xu said: "In Zili's opinion, what actions will the court take in the future?"

Tan Lun pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that this army of rebellion suppressed the local governments and consumed the strength of various prefectures and counties, and the strong and weak branches will be strong. At that time, the Gaohuzi Rebellion will be pacified, and the local government will not have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. Once the Gaohuzi Rebellion is pacified, the Wei people's open conspiracy will be equivalent to failure. If they don't want to fight the Qin army on the border, they will have to withdraw their troops."

Li Xu said: "The means to consume local areas is nothing more than forcing local gentry to donate money and grain as military funds. During the war, the township brave men organized by various counties were driven to attack the thief army and acted as cannon fodder, and finally the rebel army was suppressed to clean up the situation.

At that time, the credit will be his Lin Yi. He will not get any benefits in the local prefectures and counties, and he will even have to pay money and lose his troops. Even if he is dissatisfied with the court, he will have to bear it. It is such a good calculation!”

Tan Lun nodded and said, "And if Lin Yi was smart, he would definitely not directly ask the gentry to donate money and food. It is very likely that he would force local officials to find the gentry to donate. At that time, even if the gentry was resentful, he would only target the local government. Once the rebellion was over, even if the public was resentful, the court would definitely pick a few scapegoats from these local officials to apologize and calm the public anger."

After hearing this, Li Xu breathed a long sigh.

What Tan Lun said is very likely, after all, such things are common in history.

It is up to the court and the emperor to make achievements. If something happens, it is from the officials below.

Thinking of Lin Yi as the leader, or if others as the leader, the strategy is probably the same, but the specific execution details are different.

At that time, I, the ambassador of the North Guanzhong thief, will most likely be picked out by Lin Yi as the scapegoat.

After all, Liu Jian is from the Song family. Although he is labeled as the Song family on the surface, he has not gained the true trust of the Song family. The Song family is even testing itself continuously.

If I really become the scapegoat and the Song family is willing to help in the end, then the original official position will definitely be gone, and I will be even more grateful to the Song family at that time.

If the Song family gives a little favor, then they will definitely be more grateful to the Song family, and naturally become a follower of the Song family, referred to as Dog Legs.

Li Xu naturally would not be a tyrant. If he wanted to be a tyrant, he would have to let the Song family be a tyrant for him.

After thinking for a while, Li Xu said, "Zi Li, the matter has been basically clear now. As for me, I must still maintain my official position, so that it is easy to inquire about news and other matters. If I want to break the court's plan, the imperial army, the suffocating rebellion, must fail, and it is best to be wiped out.

As long as this army is defeated, the Qin border army will not be defeated. Either find an opportunity to fight the Wei army as soon as possible, or continue to hold on and draw troops back to continue to stabilize the country. By that time, it will be a good opportunity for us to grow rapidly."

Tan Lun smiled and said, "The bandits in Gaohu are okay in the chaos, but they are definitely not the opponents of the imperial court's army to suppress the rebellion, so we have to help him."

Li Xu smiled and said, "That's it, but should we just put the banner alone or join Gao Bei and strengthen his momentum? I personally prefer the latter."

Tan Lun agreed, "But you can't join directly. Didn't the lord give a guide to suppressing bandits last time? Then I followed the map and wiped out the bandits around who might pose a threat to us first, and took the opportunity to bring our banner. When the fame becomes famous, Gao Beizi will likely send someone to win over, and the subsequent things will be natural."

Li Xu nodded and smiled, "That's right, you can make a name first before you can sell it at a good price. However, even if you want to join Gao Bei, you can only join in name, and our troops can only be controlled by themselves."

Tan Lun said: "Don't worry, if Gao Hu Zi is not sure about the right person, then I don't mind changing someone to call Gao Hu Zi."
