Japan is a virgin land for the Mongols, and unlike the Central Plains, it is lonely and hangs overseas, with a bit of a high mountain and far away emperor.

At present, many people are staring at the position of King Xiang of Japan. If Li Dehui can take the lead, it will be a very good thing for Ananda.

After all, Li Dehui has not had a deep foundation in the court, so he mainly relies on Ananda. If he does something in Japan in the future, it will be an help from Ananda.

Ananda can still calculate this account.

The matter was agreed, Zhao Wei was not in a hurry to leave, and Ananda answered that he was not in a hurry to see the guests off.

In fact, the two met for the second time until this time. Although they kept their wits secretly, they felt a bit sympathetic.

But after all, I have only met two sides and are testing each other in order to seek more benefits.

Ananda looked at Zhao Wei and said irrelevantly, "I didn't expect that King Ning still knew Lingxiao City?"

Zhao Wei smiled, "I've heard of it."

"What a pity!" Ananda sighed.

"If Li Dehui gets help from King Ning to leave Sichuan, the value of Lingxiao City to me will be greatly reduced. Unfortunately, the loyal minister and righteous man in the city will die because of King Ning's actions."

Lingxiao City sounds a bit like the sects of the Jianghu in Gu Long's novels, but in fact it is a small mountain city on the bank of the Yangtze River in Yibin, Sichuan.

It was also the last fortress that the Song Dynasty persisted to the end.

In fact, in the original history, it was not until nine years after the Shao Emperor died in Yashan that Lingxiao City was broken when Ananda paid a huge price.

No one surrendered or lived in the city, and all were martyred.

Ananda replied that he moved Lingxiao City out at this time just to see Zhao Wei’s reaction.

"What a pity, it's such a pity!" Ananda replied with a high profile, "If Zhang Jue did not return to Bashu madly, I would not dare to assert that he could break the Lingxiao."

"Ha!!" Zhao Wei did not suffer from the chaos, but laughed, "Don't worry, you can't defeat."

"Hmm?" Ananda answered unhappy, "How can he see?"

Zhao Wei: "I said that if you can't attack, you can't attack. Moreover, why do you need Zhang Junyu to return to Bashu? I, Zhao Wei, will not only not be able to attack Lingxiao City, but you have already obtained the fishing, divine arm, Gao Deng, Long Ya, and Baidi, and the great hunt of Zhucheng, and you will also return it!"

The cities mentioned by Zhao Wei are a "mountain city defense system" established in Bashu after decades of operation.

Each city mentioned above is built on the mountain and rocks, guarding the throat of the Bashu waterway.

Every city is a place that makes the Yuan army tremble when it is lifted. After half a century of pulling, the Yuan army who died on the city cannot calculate.

Moreover, what is even more annoying is that most of these cliff mountain cities were not captured by the Yuan army in the end.

Either they destroyed their own food, or they were reduced, or they had not yet been captured.

However, this mountain city system has a life gate, that is, Chongqing!

Chongqing can be used to provide supplies to various cities. If Chongqing is gone, it will be rootless duckweed and trapped to death.

Therefore, Zhao Wei only mentioned Shancheng and not Chongqing, which seemed like a joke in Ananda's opinion.

"Hahahaha, King Ning is a joke!"

"It's not a joke."

"Then you take one and take a look with me?"

"Okay, as soon as the matter of Dadu is over, Wei will go to Sichuan. Do you dare to take it?"

"!!!" Ananda suddenly realized that Zhao Wei was not joking.

He frowned, "You... are you really going to Sichuan?"

Zhao Wei grinned, "You and I hit it off at first sight, wouldn't it be a neighbor?"

“…”

Ananda responded first, he lied!

"It's easy to get in Bashu, but it's hard to get it out."

"Your Highness, don't you hope I won't come out?"

Ananda replied, "You are too naive! If you dare to enter Bashu, I will let you go without going."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Wei laughed and stood up, "Wei is joking, Your Highness doesn't have to be serious."

After saying that, he bowed to Ananda, "It's not too late, Wei has said goodbye."

Ananda answered and sent it outside the hall, looking at Zhao Wei's back, and thought to himself: He is a lie, he must be a lie! Most of them are not allowed to run to the sea, what are you doing in Bashu?

A deceptive, deceptive...

Recently, the most discussed two things in the courts of the capital:

First, all affairs in Japan.

This is understandable. The new arrival of the Four Islands has many chores to deal with.

The other is that Wang Xiang from the four provinces of Huguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Japan accepted his fate.

The most subtle one is especially Japan.

The dispute over his position was mainly concentrated on Shi Quan, Wang Jiweng and Liu Mengyan.

I have to say that at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Han ministers were treated more favorably. Just look at the three alternatives, and you will know that they are all Han people.

Of course, there were also Mongolian nobles and Semu people covet this position.

However, Kublai Khan thought about it over and over again and decided that it would be more appropriate to send Han people to it.

First of all, Han officials were all scholars, and at most they could do some tricks such as conspiracy and tricks, and no major problems could happen.

After all, Japan is far from the Central Plains, and if anyone makes any trouble, there is no time to react.

Secondly, Japan is more inclined toward Central Plains culture, and both officials and people are close to Han people. Therefore, sending Han ministers to this is also considering the factors of the local Japanese people.

Looking at the court, there are only three Han officials who are qualified and have no other tasks.

As for whom to go, it was Kublai Khan who had not decided yet.

After asking Xie Dieshan's opinions, the gentleman stammered as if he had something to say, and finally gave Wang Jiweng's advice.

I also asked other Mongolian officials in the court, most of whom pointed to Shi Quan.

Kublai Khan didn't say it, but he actually knew it very well in his heart. Shi Quan was a Han native in the northern region. He surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty a lot earlier and was even more trusted by the Mongols.

Shi Quan is a good candidate for being an honest official and capable official.

But he was just a little too rigid and had no sand in his eyes. It can be seen from his reports of Ali Hague's corruption that he liked to resist.

Don’t forget that Boyan is still in Japan! He is not as easy to talk to as Ali Hague. If he doesn’t get along well, he will inevitably cause trouble.

As for Wang Jiweng, he has very high knowledge and average ability.

However, it is enough to use it in Japan. In addition, it is also a great scholar, so it can be recognized by Japanese people.

But there is still a problem. Wang Jiweng and Boyan had a dispute over the palace before, so they obviously couldn't go together, so it was not a good choice.

So, as an emperor, he is actually quite tiring. He can never make choices that are either black or white, and he will not expect all his ministers to be capable and honest and not dirty.

It can only be a crooked pot with a scoop lid, and it's all right.

After all, it’s actually Liu Mengyan left.

Moreover, Prime Minister Ahma also recommended Liu Mengyan, which matched Kublai Khan's wishes.

But before the imperial edict was announced, something went wrong.

When Wang Jiweng saw that he had no chance, he simply came to the death and recommended someone to Kublai Khan.

Who? Pingzhang Affairs in Sichuan Province - Li Dehui!

When Kublai Khan heard this name at first, he was stunned at first, and turned around and thought, isn't it right? Wang Jiweng mentioned this person a little interesting.

As soon as Xie Dieshan came to see him, Kublai Khan said, "Mr. I stopped prophecy before. Do you think all three of them are inappropriate? Then what about this Li Dehui?"

Mr. Dieshan was asked so he had to tell the truth, "It's Li Dehui!"

"Oh? Sir, what's the reason?"

"There are three reasons. First, Li Dehui is also a Han Chinese and has a very profound qualifications, which is in line with His Majesty's choice."

"Secondly, this person is good at governing the relationship between the Umilials and the barbarians. You can only see the dependence of the enemy on Sichuan. If this person goes to Japan, he will definitely see the energy efficiency."

"Third, Li Dehui knew how to advance and retreat. He was able to do his best to be responsible under the rule of the two generations of Anxi Kings. It was not easy to be loved by the royal palace. I think he could get along well with Boyan and Zhang Hongfan."

"Yes." Kublai Khan nodded.

He also thought of these three points, and one thing that Xie Dieshan did not expect, that is, there is another benefit to Li Dehui's visit.

Don’t forget that Li Dehui is Ananda’s right-hand man. If he takes this opportunity to transfer it away, wouldn’t it be a good way to weaken the Anxi Palace?

However, Kublai Khan was a little hesitant, "As Ahma said, Liu Mengyan seemed to be very suitable."

OK, the old man hesitated again.
