Chapter 111: Calculation

Zhang Qian can't do it, but he has already buried so many nails before, if he doesn't do it this time, where will he find another Jiaozhi slaughter next time?

Zhao Xian gritted his teeth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

To do, or not to do?

He looked up at the almanac on the table.

Counting the days, Zhou Yan, the protector of the country, should be about to arrive in Guizhou. What if he did drive back the cochin......

Zhao Xian shuddered.

Probably not. Looking at the secret letter that Zhang Qian sent back to himself during this period of time, the entire Guangnan West Road combined, the number of sergeants was less than 8,000, even if the elite he brought over from Fengxiang was added, there were no more than 10,000 people, Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Lianzhou had already died four or five thousand, and there were many scattered in other states and counties.

Zhou Yan should leave at least 2,000 guards in Guizhou, right?

The last time Zhang Qian wrote a letter saying that he had sent Tian Chu's shaft to Yongzhou and gave him 800 elites, so that if you calculate it, what is left for Zhou Yan will be 3,000 soldiers and horses at most.

Zhao Xian's heart was pounding.

If you don't care about Zhang Qian's side, you can slowly lay out the situation here first, at least it's better than doing nothing, right?

"Li Decai!" He shouted.

Li Decai, who was guarding the door of the hall, hurriedly bowed and entered the door.

"Let's see if Master Zhu has arrived."

Funing Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are places where there are no bricks and less roofs everywhere, although they have already ordered the next person, but it has been delayed for a long time, and no one has come to make up for it.

In the middle of summer, the sun got up early, and the dazzling light leaked through the vacancy of the tile, just shining on Zhao Xian's face, making him unable to open his eyes.

Zhao Xian irritably burst out of his throat with a cough or two, he squinted his eyes and looked at the sundial in the corner, and for some reason, the disgusting face of the Empress Dowager Tian suddenly flashed in his mind.

What an old immortal!

After a while, Li Decai hurriedly came back from outside and said, "Master Zhu is already waiting in Yanhe Palace." ”

Zhao Xian hurriedly stood up, put away the secret letter on the table and went to Yanhe Palace.

Zhu Bing, a scholar, was reading Zhao Xian's homework in the Yanhe Palace.

He is close to the age of the sixtieth birthday, which should have been the age of teasing grandchildren in the people, but above the court, this age will be the beginning of the illustrious career of the important ministers.

Most of the colleagues who instructed in political affairs back then were still standing on a high place, only Zhu Bing, because he had impeached Empress Tian's younger brother Cheng Engong when he was there, colluded with wealthy businessmen to forcibly buy people's land, and found out that the other party had stayed in the Jiaofang Division for illegal things, which offended Empress Tian heavily.

When King Su rebelled, the little emperor Zhao Xian temporarily succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Tian began to listen to the government.

Ordinary ministers who teach the emperor, which one is not a real position, only he, in his prime, only received a false title of drinking refreshment.

Zhu Bing absentmindedly flipped through the article made by Zhao Xian.

The qualifications of the little emperor are really not good, whether he looks at things or makes a fuss, he always misses the point, but always gets entangled in the details.

As an emperor, it doesn't matter if he doesn't concentrate on learning, but he is not very concerned about the country or society, and always spends time and energy on understanding the distribution of power in the court, the lace trails of powerful ministers, and market rumors.

Empress Dowager Tian, a woman in her fifties, still works hard to handle government affairs every day, Zhao Xian, as a prime man of less than twenty, can't even sit for half a day and memorize the names of his states and counties.

Thinking of this, Zhu Bing couldn't help but shake his head.

Last time at the court meeting, a person who didn't know the temperament of the Empress Dowager Tian finally jumped out and advocated for the little emperor about pro-government, who knew that he was so uncompetitive.

The war in Quang Nam has been spreading for so long, and I have taught him no less than five times, and I have told him countless times about the situation of prefectures, counties, residents, and officials, but he can't even answer the basic situation of Quang Nam West Road.

Because ordinary things were gagged by Empress Dowager Tian, for such an important country was a general training that was split on the head and covered in the face, and there were too many times, how could ordinary courtiers give respect and awe to the Son of Heaven again.

Zhao Xian returned to the palace and lost his temper gloomily, turning his head upside down, not wanting to study hard and find an opportunity to show his talent in the future, but instead put the cart before the horse, knocking on the side to find out who had revealed his contempt for him after that great court meeting.

Guangnan West Road is only twenty-five states, and yesterday, he inadvertently asked, and Zhao Xian still couldn't say half of his names.

Zhu Bing sighed.

Empress Dowager Tian didn't want to think about it, so she threw out a question casually, and Zhao Xian couldn't answer it.

She ate this cheap son to death, and he couldn't help Adou.

Zhu Bing felt a little bitter in his heart.

There was no way, he had no choice but to push Zhao Xian to that position.

However, he has experienced many years of ups and downs in the sea, stepped on countless people to climb to a high position, how high he can climb, how long he can endure it, as long as there is a slight opportunity, he will never give up.

Empress Dowager Tian is already old, and Zhao Xian is only twenty.

It is still impossible to say who killed the deer.

Let alone......

Zhu Bing heard the news from the little yellow door at the door that it was Zhao Xian who had arrived.

He stood up and watched Zhao Xian walk towards him anxiously.

There are disadvantages and advantages.

Although this emperor is stupid, how can anyone who wants the Son of Heaven to be a courtier.

It may not be easy to help him earn a seat, but when the dust settles and the government is controlled, it will be simple.

"Zhang Qian hasn't woken up yet, can we still do our business as usual?" As soon as Zhao Xian sat down, he didn't even have time to make a routine greeting, so he began to ask.

Zhu Bing didn't plan to help Zhao Xian make a decision.

Although Zhao Xian didn't have any ideas, he was very narrow-minded, if he felt that he was too strong, he had to worry about it.

Zhu Bingdao: "What does Your Majesty think? ”

Zhao Xian hesitated, "I've been waiting for this opportunity for so many years, and the chaos of the war can't be encountered from time to time, if you don't do it, it's a pity!" Besides, Zhang Qian doesn't have many people left, and their father and son are now trapped in Guangnan, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it. ”

Zhu Bing nodded and said, "The minister thinks that His Majesty is reasonable, but Zhang Qian can't help, if you want to do it, you have to plan carefully and be more careful." ”

Zhao Xian hurriedly said: "Extremely! I'm just afraid of one thing, didn't Zhou Yan already go to Guizhou that day, although I calculated that he didn't have many troops at hand, but if he really let him ......"

Zhu Bing only sneered in his heart.

Looking ahead, only wanting benefits, not taking risks, where in the world is there such a good thing.

But what does it matter, this time the matter was all proposed by Zhang Qian, jumping up and down in the past, this time it was easy to get up, even if there was any basket, Zhang Qian was also responsible.

He smiled slightly, and reassured: "Your Majesty is too worried, the remaining soldiers in Guizhou City will not exceed three thousand at most, and if you calculate it, the only soldiers in Jingzhou and Guangzhou can be mobilized by the Protector of the Country, and the army is pulled, where is it such a simple matter, without three or two months, you can't get to Yongzhou at all."
