Zhao Hao was embarrassed now, he wanted to take the opportunity to get a handful and recover some costs, but he didn't expect Yangzhou to become a third-rate city in later generations, this is really a vicissitudes of life, the reincarnation of the world! And looking at the snickering group, he also felt quite blushing, these guys must be laughing at him for losing his money.

"Your Majesty, although Yangzhou is not as prosperous as it used to be, it is not without significance in terms of tactics, and it should be feasible for Your Majesty to attack Yangzhou!" At this time, Han Zhenyan said.

"Oh, Han Tongzhi, please!" Zhao Yu listened and looked at him with gratitude in his eyes. The secret way in my heart is still 'my own person', and I know how to find a reason to excuse myself at the critical moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look!" Han Zhen pointed to the sand table and said, "If the enemy's Goryeo naval army is blocked outside the estuary, they can still enter Guhangou from Yancheng, reach Yangzhou, and enter the canal!" ”

"Han Tongzhi knows that as far as this minister knows, after the opening of the canal, the ditch has been gradually abandoned, in disrepair, serious siltation, and has long been unnavigable!" Wen Tianxiangyan frowned and said suspiciously. He knew that Hangou was built in the Wenjing period of the Western Han Dynasty, dug by Liu Bi, the king of Wu, located on the north side of the Yangtze River, used to transport salt, so it is also called the salt river, the salt river, and was originally the main waterway of Yangzhou and the cities and counties along the coast.

"Wenxiang, that's not the case. According to the lower officials, although there is siltation in the ditch, only small boats can pass on weekdays, but when the tide is high and the sea water is backflowing, it is still possible to pass through warships of more than 2,000 stones, which means that enemy ships are not only able to pass through the estuary. Han Zhenyan said.

"Well, that's a reminder to me!" Zhao Yu said, "This time, Dong Yicheng's troops used large and medium-sized warships, and after the Huai River was seized by the Yellow River, the estuary was also seriously silted up, and now it has not yet reached the wet season, which may also lead to the failure of interception, so I ......."

"The imperial examination will start today, and Your Majesty must not leave Beijing!" Ying Jieyan didn't wait for the little emperor to finish speaking, and then interrupted him very rudely.

"How can Your Majesty come in person in every battle, and this battle is long, and Your Majesty needs to grasp the entire battle situation, coordinate and dispatch all departments, and never leave lightly." Lu Xiufu was also clever enough, and he also understood that the little emperor was clearly looking for an excuse to go to the battlefield, and he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"You Aiqing also know that the enemy's main attack direction is the east road, and at present, only by annihilating the Mengyuan Goryeo naval army can the entire deployment of the enemy be broken, and the other two roads will naturally collapse without a fight." Zhao Yu explained.

The Yellow River has been diverted frequently throughout history, and there have been several times since its entry into the Song Dynasty. In June of the eighth year of Renzong's Qingli, the Yellow River was diverted again, broke through the Shanghu Si of Lanzhou, went straight to the north to the Daimyo, passed through the west of Liaocheng to the Qingxian border and joined the Wei River, and then entered the sea. This river Song people called "North Flow", 12 years later, the Yellow River broke in the lower reaches of Shanghu Si in the south of Lexidu, diverted through the present Dynasty City, Guantao, Leling, Wudi into the sea, the Song people called this river "East Flow", but the East Pop Water was cut off in less than 40 years.

After the Jingkang Change, the Jin army entered the Central Plains, and in the second year of Jianyan after the southern crossing, in order to resist the Jin soldiers going south, the Tokyo guard Du Chong artificially broke the Yellow River embankment in Huazhou, causing the Yellow River to change and fatigue, and divided it into Surabaya and Jishui to the southeast, and seized the main road of the Huai River into the sea, and the Yellow River changed from the north to the Bohai Sea and the south into the Yellow Sea. The sediment carried by the Yellow River also poured down, silting up the estuary, and the navigation was seriously affected.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to attack Yangzhou, and the only forbidden armies that can be used to defend the Jiangdong front line are the first army and the second army, and Jiangyin and Jiankang are the top priorities of the defense line, and they cannot be moved lightly. The two protectorates of the Mongolian army in Jiangbei were not compared with the Han army that originally guarded the south of the Yangtze River, and they were not reintegrated in the reorganization of the previous time, and they were incorporated into the Han army and the new annex army, which were formed by the Red Horse Tan Army when the Mongols went south, and their combat effectiveness was strong. Jiang Xuan continued with a slow breath.

"At present, in Jiangdong, only the imperial guards can use it to capture Yangzhou, and His Majesty will personally conquer, and the escorts will inevitably accompany him. But once there is a change, there will be no troops in the Gyeonggi area. Moreover, if the Mongolian army is desperate to force its way from elsewhere, only the protectors can send reinforcements. Therefore, the minister thought that as long as the naval army could defeat the Goryeo naval army, the entire front would be worry-free, and Meng Yuan would no longer have the strength to go south. ”

"Well, in that case, I should lead the naval army to reinforce Dong Yicheng's troops, in order to wipe out the enemy's naval army in the open sea, so that the world will be peaceful!" Zhao Yu perked up.

"Your Majesty is the king, and he is in charge of the privy council, if there is a change, who can mobilize troops, should he also entrust the military talisman to the queen!" Seeing that the little emperor was still a thief, he said sternly.

"This ......" Zhao Yu immediately became dumbfounded when he heard it, and he muttered a few words without words!

Although the pro-recruitment is in the soup, he still has to work, and speaking of which, this is also a part-time job for himself. So after re-discussing with the ministers, Zhao Yu ordered most of the Yangtze River naval army to move to Jiangzhou, and put on a posture of being ready to deter the Yuan army, which had lost the means to cross the river. At the same time, the third phase of the operation was carried out, so that the armies along the river changed from attacking and harassing the enemy's logistics to attacking and killing the enemy's messengers, cutting off the enemy's communication with each other, and delaying their movements. He also strictly ordered Dong Yicheng's troops to strive to completely annihilate the enemy's naval army and make it lose its ability to continue fighting.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?" After talking about things, Zhao Yu walked out of the Wende Palace, and Tan Fei, who was guarding in front of the hall, immediately greeted him and asked.

"Hmph, if you ask more, where can you go if you don't go back to the palace!" Zhao Hao's footsteps did not stop, and he said angrily.

"Commander Tan, go slowly!"

"What should the governor command?" Tan Fei was just about to follow, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, looked back, and hurriedly saluted.

"Commander Tan, Your Majesty is not very happy today, you have to guard the palace gate, don't let Your Majesty leave the palace without permission!" Ying Jieyan said.

"This ...... I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the governor! Tan Fei bowed to Ying Jie Yan and said, "As the commander of the guard battalion, the subordinate must follow His Majesty's orders and protect His Majesty's safety. Even if you want to leave the palace, the lower officials can only obey and dare not disobey! ”

"Then you report to the deacon on duty is not a violation!" Hearing that Tan Fei clearly rejected his request, Ying Jieyan was also stunned, he was also better than the Shuaifu, of course he knew his identity, but he actually hit a soft nail in front of him, so he took a step back.

"The governor should also know that His Majesty's whereabouts are not allowed to be disclosed to outsiders, and it is also the duty of the subordinate officials to keep secrets, and they dare not divulge half a word without His Majesty's permission. I also ask the governor to understand the difficulties of the lower officials, and Your Majesty also knows the seriousness and will not act rashly! Tan Fei saluted again.

"You...... Go ahead! His answer was not leaky, and he had nothing to say, so he waved his hand strictly. But I really praised it in my heart, there are such loyal people around the little emperor, what else do I have to worry about.

"Your Majesty!" Tan Fei found that the little emperor had not gone far, and immediately took two steps to follow.

"Yes, I'm very pleased!" Zhao Yu turned around and patted him on the shoulder, nodded and smiled.

"His subordinates have received the grace of His Majesty's life, and they will never give up!" Tan Fei immediately realized that the little emperor had heard the conversation between the two, and hurriedly saluted.

"Whatever, you don't have to be so polite!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to excuse him and asked, "Lingtang is good now, is he also living in Beijing?" ”

"Your Majesty, my mother is all right now, and she is still living in the old camp, but I always think of Your Majesty, and I am very happy to learn that my subordinates are serving by Your Majesty's side, and I tell my subordinates to serve Your Majesty carefully!" Tan Fei replied.

"Okay, I still remember that Ling Tang originally helped the cook in the Shuai Mansion, and he cooked a good soup, and he hasn't eaten it for many years." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Now that you are also the commander, and you have been transferred back to the capital, you should also take your mother to serve well." There are many inconveniences in the old camp, and there is a house outside the palace that is still idle, so I let them clean it up and take Lingtang over to enjoy it. ”

"Your Majesty's grace, your subordinates have thanked you, how dare you accept it in vain!" Tan Fei hurriedly excused himself.

"You're welcome, you have been wandering with me for many years, and now that you have settled down, you should also marry a wife and have children, let your mother enjoy the joy of family, and do your filial piety!" Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tan Fei knew the temper of the little emperor, and he no longer shirked.

"This house is not for you, you have to go and do something for me first!" Zhao Yu told Tan Fei to come closer and said softly.

"Your Majesty, please command!" Tan Fei replied.

"Don't be nervous, I won't sneak out of the palace, I won't let you kill people, I just let you go to the street to buy some books......" Zhao Hao instructed in his ear......

…………

After Zhao Yu returned to Zhiyuan Hall to change clothes and wash, he went to the study again, where there was already a ruler-high official document. He sighed, it turned out that he was busy enough for a mess, but after taking over the Privy Council, the number of official documents delivered from various places every day doubled. And now that the war is raging again, he has to read the war reports sent from all over the country every day, which is really a bit sad.

"Your Majesty, the things sent by Commander Tan have arrived!" It wasn't until the time when the lamp was lit that Zhao Yu finished reading the important official document and wanted to rest and light the lamp and fight again, when Wang De came in with a package.

"Okay, get it!" Zhao Hao put down his pen and beckoned.

"Commander Tan said that His Majesty was in a hurry, I don't know what it is, it's so heavy!" Wang De walked over quickly and put the package down.

"It's all something urgent, prepare dinner, I'll see it after I eat it!" Zhao Yu said, "Oh, clean up the empty house in Houma Lane tomorrow, add some furniture, and let Tan Fei move in!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang De replied.

After dinner, Zhao Yu brought the package into the tea room, simply classified the contents inside, and began to read it carefully, and before he knew it, it was already two drums.

"Official, where did you find this miscellaneous book, and you have set up such a big mess!" Su Lan came over to replace the candles that were about to burn out, and looked at the books placed on the soft couch, which contained both old books with pages and hand-copied booklets, with different thicknesses and different sizes, very surprised.

"It's all bought from the scholars who rushed to take the exam!" Zhao Yu put down the book and rubbed his astringent eyes.

"Official, what are you buying these books for?" Su Lan was even more surprised, not knowing what kind of demon the little emperor was doing.

"Hehe, I'm ashamed to say it, the exam is about to start, but I still don't know much about this imperial examination system, so I have to find some books to make up for it!" Zhao Yu said with some embarrassment.

"The officials, those ministers in the court are all from Jinshi, can you summon them to explain? Why bother! Su Lan also found it funny.

"My sister doesn't know, these are all things that Mr. said, and when I was in Qiongzhou, I also opened a department to select scholars, but I was in a daze at that time, and I still have to find someone to explain at the moment, isn't it too embarrassing; And at this time, the opening of the course is imminent, and I still have to preside over the palace examination, and I don't understand the rules, so I won't make the world's scholars laugh! Zhao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Then Your Majesty can look up the classics, why did he buy these old books from those scholars?" Su Lan smiled and asked suspiciously.

"There are so many books, where to find them. And these are all the cheats of the scholars to rush for the exam, and all they need is available! Zhao Yu said, "This book was written by a scholar in the Shaoxing period, which estimated the content of the examination that year, the number of people admitted, and even analyzed the preferences of the examiners one by one, as well as the rules of the provincial and palace examinations were recorded in detail." To this day, there are still scholars who use this as a treasure book for taking exams. ”

"There is also this is the handwriting of a scholar in the Xianchun period, when the war between Mongolia and Song was in full swing, he came from the relatively calm Guangnan East Road, recorded all kinds of things he saw and heard all the way north and the hardships of rushing for the exam, as well as the location of food and lodging, the price of the enemy and the interesting anecdotes when waiting for the exam in Lin'an, as well as the process of the exam, and the complicated mood of Sun Shan."

"Official, these are all rumors and conjectures, can they be useful?" Su Lan looked at the old books and said suspiciously.

"Of course, there will be some benefits to reading, otherwise some have passed a hundred years and are still being copied among scholars, which shows that they are still valued by them, and it is always useful to read." Zhao Yu hurriedly said

He knew that in his previous life, there were various exam 'strategies and treasure books' on the Internet, recording the experiences of winners and losers, as well as opportunistic and cheating methods, which can be described as enduring for a long time. The imperial examination can be said to be the most important examination in ancient times, and naturally these things are indispensable, and Zhao Hao, who is eager to sharpen his gun, hopes to have a comprehensive understanding of the imperial examination system, which is more detailed and close to reality than the records in those classics.

However, Zhao Yu also found that these imperial examination strategies are more to record the mood and anecdotes of those scholars, involving the evolution of the imperial examination system in this dynasty, although there are records, but it is also rare, after all, the scholars who regard the imperial examination as a change of fate must have memorized the system at that time and memorized it by heart, otherwise how to deal with a series of exams. But it also makes him can only peek at the leopard and find what he needs from the fragments.

"The official, the slave and maid can recommend a person, who should be able to help the official family, and will not leak the matter and hurt the face of the official family!" Seeing that the little emperor wanted to find what he needed from those old notes, he didn't know how long it would take to stay up, so he thought about it and said.

"Oh, who can help me?" Zhao Yu listened in surprise......
