"You are my son-in-law, and I will follow you when you become the emperor of God, and our family has never thought of sharing the world with you. At this time, Wan Yunlong's face was full of smiles.

"If you can be the Emperor of God, I have a light on my face, as long as you can treat the Wan family well, I will be satisfied. Wan Yunlong continued.

"Please rest assured, father-in-law, as long as I, Yang Zhen, can be the God Emperor, I will definitely not fail my father-in-law and the Wan family. Yang Zhen immediately made a guarantee.

"It's not messy enough at the moment, only if it's messy you have a chance. ”

"Father-in-law, how do you say this?" Yang Zhen was puzzled.

"Now that everything in the Blue Wolf Empire is in the hands of your father, what chance can you have? Only if your father is out of control, then you will have a chance. "Wan Yunlong's progress is not elaborated.

"Once my father is out of control, can the Blue Wolf Empire still be in the hands of our Yang family?" Yang Zhen muttered.

"You have a misunderstanding of my words, now everything in the Blue Wolf Empire is in the hands of your father, and no one dares to fight against him. As the war progresses, your father's authority will be challenged if our side is on a weak side. At that time, it was the best time to make a move, Yang Jian did not have to worry, and the biggest obstacle was the Zhao family, because they were Yang Jian's backstage. Wan Yunlong continued.

"Father-in-law, what should I do next?"

"Drive the Zhao family out of the Blue Wolf Empire, but now we don't have such strength, and we can't deal with the Zhao family at all. But you believe that maybe it won't be long before the Blue Wolf Empire will be in chaos. If you want to succeed, you must rely on external forces, but now is not the time, so you still need to be patient at this time. Yang Zhen didn't fully understand Wan Yunlong's words, but his father-in-law must have a reason for saying this.

"Go back first, there are some things I have to be ready to tell you how to do it. As long as you do what I deployed, the throne will be yours in the end. Wan Yunlong said very confidently, Yang Zhen actually believed him, after all, this is his father-in-law, he will not deceive himself.

"Eighth Highness, there has been no city lord in the imperial capital for several months, and it is not a way to go on like this, so we still have to elect the city lord as soon as possible. "King Pingxi and King Zhendong are discussing with Yang Jian.

"Do you think I want to do this? My father-in-law resigned from the city lord, and now the position of the city lord is both a sweet potato and a hot potato. Some people want to be the head of the slope, but some people ask him to do it, but he doesn't do it, it's difficult now. Yang Jian sighed.

"Huh. I can understand what you said, you can't keep this city lord's position empty here, right?"

"The eldest brother muttered about this matter every day, and he even wrote to his father and recommended him. Yang Jian was a little annoyed when he said this.

"This is inevitable, it was his people who took the lead in making trouble, and he would not be willing to get the position of city lord. The King of Zhendong also thinks so.

"Now I won't let him get his wish, although there is no city lord now, but the security of the entire imperial capital is in the hands of General Jingyuan's mansion, and it is actually controlled by the eldest brother Zhao Ming, so I think it's pretty good. After letting him control for a period of time, whoever fights for this city lord in the future will also be hollowed out. Yang Jian smiled proudly when he said this.

"That's right, this trick is really a good move to retreat, so that bad things become good things. King Pingxi suddenly realized and became excited.

"Father's decree, now Heshuo City and Yanbei City need a large number of soldiers, please trouble the two princes to dispatch in the middle, as soon as possible to urge all parties, money, food, soldiers, must be sent to Heshuo City and Yanbei City in a steady stream. Now the pressure on Yanbei is even greater. Yang Jian said this question, and his face was suddenly sad.

After all, he is young and has not stood alone, and it is inevitable that there will be grievances when he is under pressure, and King Pingxi and King Zhendong can understand his feelings.

"We have sent a letter to Li Sanchang of Flame City, and he will be sending reinforcements of 100,000 troops to Heshuo City in the near future. Murong Qiu of Mochizuki City, he will also send 100,000 reinforcements to Yanbei City. It is easy to expand the army, but the recruits are not combative, which is a troublesome thing. ”

"Eighth Highness, it's only the early stage of the war, and the big war is still to come. In the letter to me from the king of Zhennan, he mentioned the distribution of soldiers, and in the end, if I wanted to win this war, I would need 10 million soldiers for Heshuo City, and now there are only 2 million soldiers there, which is far from the difference. When King Pingxi said this number, Yang Jian was a little stunned.

"Do you need so much?" he was a little unconvinced.

"Hmm. There must be so many. King Pingxi replied in the affirmative.

"How much food do you need?" Yang Jian muttered.

"Therefore, after a war, the national strength has to be set back by ten years, and the war is the most costly thing for the people and money. This is just to deal with the Great Liang Kingdom, as well as the Beichen Kingdom, it is a headache to think about it. King Pingxi sighed.

"Yes, even if we win this war in the end, it will be a pyrrhic victory. King Zhendong said softly.

"There is no winner in the war itself, it is not a crushing victory, it is exchanged for overdrawing national strength. This has to leave countless people displaced, and people will have to live in exchange for it. King Pingxi said with emotion.

"What King Pingxi said makes sense, and we began to split up. Quickly organize troops, food and grass, and quickly support the front line. They are desperate on the front line, and we can't afford to run out of supplies. In the end, Yang Jian and the two princes reached an agreement and quickly arranged it.

"The same is the son of the emperor, some people are worried about the country and the people, and some people will only compete for fame and fortune, and the gap between people is really big. Walking out of the palace, King Pingxi kept sighing.

"The emperor's heart is as clear as a mirror, he is a wise man, and a war can best test the ability and level of the princes, and better understand their hearts. Rest assured, I believe the emperor will make the right choice. King Zhendong said in a low voice.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, we might as well go to the Protector's Mansion now, meet Zhao Laosan, and then call Xu Baichuan, let's call them for a drink to relieve the mood. King Pingxi suggested.

"Okay, that's exactly what I wanted, so let's get over now. King Zhendong laughed, he was very happy to go over.

"What kind of wind has blown the two princes, please, please. Zhao Zhenduo was also very happy to see the two princes coming. Because we've been busy lately, we haven't seen each other for a while.

"As soon as I finished discussing with His Royal Highness the Eighth, I wanted to come to your house for a few drinks, and I invited the third brother Haihan uninvited. "Worry-free

"King Pingxi, your words are too polite. You are all big people, it's not an honor to be here at the humble house, and it's too late to be happy. Zhao Zhenduo hurriedly quipped.

"Don't sarcastically sarcastically say a few words to our brothers, you're uncomfortable, hahahaha. King Pingxi laughed loudly.

"It's a coincidence that you came today, Brother Xu and Brother Tianming happened to be here, and they didn't come over for a long time, so how many drinks should we have today?" Zhao Zhenduo hurriedly said.

"Haha. What a coincidence, since old friends are here, let's have a few drinks. ”

A few people drank until late, saying that they were drinking, but in fact, everyone mainly got together to discuss some things. Agree on some issues, talk to each other on some plans.

After sending off the two princes, Zhao Zhenduo and Xu Baichuan returned to the living room.

"We are not from the army, and we have no concept of war, and the information that the two princes brought to us today is really shocking. I didn't expect to have so many troops, and there are countless grains and grasses, where can I raise these?" Xu Baichuan looked sad at this time.

"Zhao Fei told me about the budget at the time, and I thought he didn't understand, and I thought he was alarmist. Now it seems that I was too ignorant to take it to heart, and this was a major mistake. Zhao Zhenduo sighed.

"If I am not in his position, I will not seek his own politics, although I have no official title, but I still want to do more things for the people. I have no use for the imperial capital, I want to go back to Flame City, I am more familiar with it, I will contribute to the country and raise money and food, do you think it is feasible?" Xu Baichuan said his thoughts.

"If you go back like this now, you are not afraid that others will laugh at you? Zhao Zhenduo made fun of him.

"Huh. Maybe I wouldn't be able to do anything else if I went somewhere else, but Firecity is different, that's our roots. The fathers and villagers of Flame City love me Xu Baichuan like their own sons. As long as I raise my arms in Flame City, there will still be many people who will respond. "Xu Baichuan has strong self-confidence.

"That's right, you are the king there, and you and I are bronze when you come to the imperial capital. I support your idea, but what will I do if you go back? We haven't been separated for more than ten years. ”

"I'm not a woman, you can't live without me?" Xu Baichuan glanced at Zhao Zhenduo.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Ruyi and Yu'er, and I miss my lovely grandson too, I still want to go back and see, I still have something to do in Flame City. Xu Baichuan has made up his mind.

"Okay, I transferred you from Flame City just to let you do more, but I didn't expect to come to the imperial capital and end up with nothing, I'm a little sorry for you, Brother Xu. Zhao Zhenduo was very guilty at this time.

"Look at what you said, just like how utilitarian I am, I would care about that title? It's not because of the war, if I want to do a little more, I won't do it no matter how big the official is. Xu Baichuan was telling the truth.

"Okay, I'll do it when I think about it. I can't help myself now, I can't leave the imperial capital for the time being, and if I can go, I'll go back to Flame City. ”

"Hmm. I understand your situation, I am not running away, now that the country is in trouble, I can't do anything here, I have to go back to the place where I have the final say. ”

"Understood, so be it. In the next two days, you pack up and prepare, tell everyone goodbye, you go back first, and we will study the next step according to the development of the situation. Zhao Zhenduo and Xu Baichuan reached a consensus.

When the Wu Tianming brothers heard about this, none of them expressed their opinions. Because they can't say anything about what they have already decided, let alone change the outcome.

King Pingxi and King Zhendong originally wanted to keep Xu Baichuan, but in the end, they still didn't say it.

After Yang Jian knew the news, he specially communicated with Zhao Ming, and finally Zhao Ming persuaded Yang Jian to let Xu Baichuan go. Listening to Zhao Mingyi, Yang Jian didn't insist anymore.

On the day Xu Baichuan left the imperial capital, many people went out of the city to see each other off, and the movement was vigorous.

"Xu Baichuan was defeated and retreated, and the imperial capital is not so easy to mix. ”

"Came elatedly, and walked away. ”

"It's a pity that a city lord who has made a difference has been squeezed out like this. ”

"The imperial capital is mixed, and good people are useless. ”

"How can a person from a small place fight those big people. ”

......

Watching Xu Baichuan leave, there are people who have anything to say. Some ridicule, some rejoice, some regret, and some sympathize.

Xu Baichuan left, Wu Tianming, Zhao Zhenduo and others kept sending out fifty miles, and finally everyone waved goodbye.

"In the first game, Yang Zhen won. Liang Haichuan returned to the mansion and said happily to Yan Xue.

"According to the current situation, this is the case, but Xu Baichuan is a pawn after all, and Zhao Zhenduo is the king. If Yang Zhen can squeeze out Zhao Zhenduo and Zhao Ming, then he will be considered a first-round victory. Yan Xue looked at the problem far-reaching.

"Then it depends on Yang Zhen's next means, after all, Xu Baichuan's ability is stronger than Zhao Zhenduo, and if he leaves Xu Baichuan, Zhao Zhenduo will also have a good job. Liang Haichuan thinks so.
