Although attacking the chieftain's official residence might cause considerable damage, if Li Xiang really insisted on doing so, it might not be impossible.
"I've met him two or three times, and I feel he's incredibly capable. If we're talking about true talent, I'm no less capable than him."
Zhang Jiuli's answer made Li Xiang feel a little strange. According to Li Xiang's understanding, Zhang Jiuli should be a very introverted person who would never reveal his brilliance in front of others. This guy is used to hiding behind others.
But today's answer made Li Xiang very satisfied, because from Li Xiang's conversation just now, Zhang Jiuli had already felt that Li Xiang was now eager to seek talents and would most likely look for a few counselors. If we could play this role in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it would be a glory for eight lifetimes.
In this situation, Zhang Jiuli couldn't hold back any longer, so he violated his usual principles and wanted to show off in front of Li Xiang. However, this guy was definitely not just showing off for nothing. From the beginning of the plan to now, he has done a very good job. Including Li Xiang and Qian Ping, everyone praised him highly.
"Each of you will have your own role to play. As long as everyone can display their talents, no one will be mistreated in the future. You just need to go and talk to him immediately, but don't let him leave the mountain. Just write a letter of surrender. It must be written by the chieftain himself. My people will slowly move up the mountain and stationed in his stronghold. They must look like his people and look for opportunities to infiltrate other strongholds."
Li Xiang did not want a chieftain who had obviously surrendered. If so, it would not have the greatest effect. Li Xiang had to proceed slowly. He originally thought that he would not see any results in a month, but now it seems that Zhang Jiuli is indeed capable. He can maximize the advantages in all aspects. Perhaps before Li Xiang left Chengdu, the matter of the four chieftains would have been settled.
Zhang Jiuli had thought the same before. What he feared most was that Li Xiang would be too ambitious and ask Tusi Adu to announce the matter immediately. If he really did so, it would certainly have a certain effect, such as making the people on the mountain panic, but it would not have the greatest effect.
The ultimate goal is to capture the four chieftains on the entire mountain, rather than making them panic. So in this case, let Chief Adu hide among the four chieftains. This is equivalent to us having one more biggest undercover. This is what we have to do now. Don't lose your eyes at the critical moment and know what you want. People like Li Xiang are definitely worth following. While Li Xiang gave Zhang Jiuli a high score, Li Xiang himself also got a high score.
After getting Li Xiang's approval, Zhang Jiuli began to let go and sent his men to the mountain continuously. Of course, a group of people also came from Chang'an City. These people were the special forces specially trained by Li Xiang. These people were particularly good at breaking through from the inside, and they also came from Chang'an City urgently.
Master Sun didn't know what to say about Zhang Jiuli's arrangement. If he agreed to arrange this group of people now, it would mean that he would be completely controlled by Li Xiang.
As for the grudges of the Cui family in Boling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed without hesitation. Master Sun has been living in fear all these years. Although he is very safe in the mountain stronghold, he is afraid that the news will be leaked to people outside. He knows the capabilities of the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Houses. Even in other countries, the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Houses can still put you to death.
Master Sun has been hiding his secrets for these years, fearing that the Five Surnames and Seven Families would find out. Now, if there is a chance to resolve the issue, he would also like to end this life of hiding.
Prince Shu's Palace.
Changsun Pingting had been traveling outside for many days and finally returned to the Prince of Shu's Mansion. Although Li Xiang could not give her a formal identity, she was treated like a princess in the Prince of Shu's Mansion these days.
"You have a smile on your face, so there must be something happy going on. Tell me about it."
When Changsun Pingting saw Li Xiang coming in, he was smiling. He had already discussed things with Zhang Jiuli, and he had handed the rest of the matters over to him. It was a good thing to have such a capable person under his command. This way, Li Xiang wouldn't have to worry too much. After all, wasn't the purpose of reincarnation to manage the three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines? Who wants to be involved in state affairs every day?
It's a pity that there was no one who could share his worries before, but now he finally found such a person. Li Xiang felt that he should let this guy continue to work hard. When encountering such a person, he should not be killed with one knife. If that were the case, it would be too easy for him. He should be allowed to work hard until his death.
Li Xiang roughly told her what happened up and down the mountain. Changsun Pingting was also one of the smartest women. Li Xiang also wanted Changsun Pingting to help him see if there were any other loopholes. If there were any loopholes, he could still find them without revealing them.
"This person is indeed a capable person, able to get things done in a short time. Even if you were to do it yourself, I'm afraid it would be the same. However, such a talented person must be kept in your hands. Don't give him too much power. If you give him too much power, you may not be able to control it in the future."
Li Xiang deeply agreed with what Changsun Pingting said. Many emperors have some capable subordinates. When these people have no power, they will naturally work for you wholeheartedly. But if they have more power, only they themselves know who they are working for. It is very likely that they will do this until the day when they are crowned emperor.
"So what do you think we should do with a person like this? I've been thinking about this for the past few days. After his entire family is exiled to the frontier, where should we place him?"
The evils done must be punished, this is the bottom line that Li Xiang insists on.
Even though Zhang Jiuli is working so hard now, he has made the whole Sichuan into this state. Li Xiang has always remembered it in his heart. We remember your contributions, but we also remember your mistakes.
"Similar tasks can be assigned to him, but he can only command various departments. His subordinates cannot have any directly affiliated departments. This will isolate him from the power. No matter how smart and talented he is, he can only mobilize other departments, and other departments are loyal to you alone."
Changsun Pingting was indeed the smartest person and figured out the answer quickly.
