On the south bank of the Huai River, outside Zhengyang Pass, Lijiabao.

The Huya Battalion, which had rested for a few days, was setting up camp, and more than 60 recruits were bidding farewell to their parents and relatives.

Maybe Qin Yue was greatly stimulated by the death of a few days ago, and now he couldn't stand this warm scene, and said to the flower gun holding the war horse: "You have the best arm strength, and you scattered the two sacks of copper coins on the car, and the crying and crying of the province is uncomfortable." ”

The corners of the flower gun's mouth pulled, and I didn't know what it meant to laugh or what, I inserted Momei on the ground, rolled up my sleeves and moved the copper coin from the cart, untied the pocket, held the bag with both hands, swung up, stepped on the wind and clouds, and swirled six or seven times in one go, as soon as my hands were loosened, the sack was in the air and swirled, and the golden copper coins were sprinkled like rain, jingling crisp.

This trick really worked, and the people who still had tears on their faces were stunned for a moment, and immediately woke up, and began to bend down to collect money, and then scattered another bag of copper coins, and suddenly, cheers and screams began to rise and fall.

What can dilute sorrow?

It's just money.

Qin Yue nodded with satisfaction, Chen Scar smiled at the corner of his mouth, took the reins, and raised the long knife in his hand.

"Let's go."

Perhaps Li Gu felt guilty, or perhaps Qin Yue's thoughts coincided with him, Li Gu arranged for the Huya Battalion to be responsible for preparing grain and grass for military supplies.

This is a shortage of fertilizer, and it is also the most labor-saving and safest job, provided that the task of 10,000 stone of grain and grass is completed.

This is not a matter for Qin Yue, as long as he stays away from the siege battle, otherwise if he fills in a gap, the whole army will be wiped out.

As soon as he received the task, he set off the next day, pointed to the map and said, "We are heading southwest."

……

……

Bianliang, Imperial Palace.

In the imperial study, Guo Rong sat behind the bookcase in the center, Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, who had just taken over the position of privy envoy, and Wang Pu sat on the left and right, and a small discussion was underway.

“…… I have read this Great Zhou Criminal System, it is very thorough and rigorous, Fan Qing, Wang Qing, you two have a heart. ”

Fan Zhen said with a smile: "The minister is just a name, more things, or Wen Bo's expertise is doing, if it weren't for his three years of criminal experience, how could he be so thoughtful." ”

Wang Pu smiled and said: "Okay, if it weren't for your commander-in-chief, the cooperation of all departments, and the cooperation of many parties, how could the book be written so quickly, you and I should not be modest, we have to ask the saint for a glass of wine." ”

Guo Rong said with a smile: "It's good to drink wine, today I have completed this book, I have made a gentleman's covenant with you, I am anxious, if things are too hot, I have to persuade when I should advise, with the criminal system, I should always be vigilant, I will not punish people because of anger, because I like to reward people." ”

Wang Pu said: "The saint said this, the minister will take it seriously, and you will all remember it." ”

Guo Rong laughed and was about to speak, when a voice rang out outside the hall:

"Good news...... 600 miles of good news......"

Guo Rongqian stood up.

After a while, Hongling hurriedly entered the hall, presented the letter with both hands, and played: "The Huainan front army camp is 600 miles expedited, and it has been successfully crossed on the seventh day of October, repelling 2,000 enemy troops from the puppet Tang Dynasty, and building a pontoon bridge across the river in one day......"

Guo Rong took the fold and browsed it hurriedly, his face flushed with excitement, "Li Gu really did not lose hope, and successfully grabbed the beach, and only lost less than 200 people, and broke the Zhengyang Pass, the door of this pseudo-Tang Dynasty was finally opened." Good, good, good......"

Everyone bowed down one after another, "Congratulations to the saints!" ”

"Come on, come on, all sit, you also look at this good news, now that the former army has made a meritorious service, I should also be a personal ......"

"Holy one, never." Wei Renpu, who was just next to the chair, hurriedly stood up and admonished.

"Shengshang, it will be the middle of winter soon, the weather is cold, and I really don't use soldiers, so I can make Li Gu accelerate the capture of Shouzhou City, keep the pontoon bridge, and wait for the next spring to warm up, and it is not too late for Shengshang to conquer in person."

Guo Rong waved his hand, motioned for Wei Renpu to sit down, and said: "Wei Qing is kind, I have received it, but I can't wait for time, just seize the day."

Now that the country is torn apart, and the people are in hardship and difficulty, I sit here, eat precious food, embroider clothes, and feel deeply ashamed that I have no merit to the people and sit and enjoy it. ”

"Holy ......"

Guo Rong waved his hand again and said solemnly: "Don't say words of consolation, I have made up my mind, and I have to be in person." ”

Wang Pu said: "It is okay for the Holy Lord to go to the army, but what Wei Xiang said is also very reasonable. As soon as it came, it was cold and frozen, and it was not easy to march, and the second year was approaching, and everything was busy, especially the matter of turning copper and coinage, which was very important, and it was necessary for the saint to sit in charge of the world. ”

“…… Well. ”

Guo Rong nodded and said, "I didn't expect this matter to be so difficult, what is the situation now?" ”

According to the statistics of the Division, there are currently 2,694 surviving monasteries in the world, 30,336 abolished, 42,444 monks registered for naturalization, and 18,756 nuns.

"As for the seizure of bronze statues and bronzes, there are currently nearly 100,000 catties in Gyeonggi Zuo alone, and the money casting supervisor has also begun to carve molded plates, and new money will come out in the near future."

Guo Rong tapped his finger on the table and said, "All armies, prefectures, and counties should also speed up the progress of collection, and they should not be forcibly collected. Now that there is copper, the quality of this new money must be guaranteed. ”

"Obey."

Guo Rong thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that the matter of going south to conquer can only wait for the next year, but at the moment, Li Gu cannot be left alone, Li Qing is good at making things, and it is not his forte." Zhu Qing take a look, which general can replace Li Gu? ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, and several ministers were not prepared, each thinking about the right candidate.

Wang Pu got up and played: "The minister recommended the guards and pro-army to command the envoy, and the Guide Festival made Li Chongjin." ”

"Huh?!"

Whether it was Wang Pu or Wei Renpu, they were all surprised by this candidate, thinking to themselves, Wang Pu was so bold.

In the face of the surprise of his colleagues and the doubts of the saints, Wang Pu was not in a hurry, and calmly played: "Li Chongjin is brave and good at fighting, and in the past two years, he has studied the art of war diligently, and he is brave and strategic, and he is the best candidate to overcome difficulties."

He can be ordered to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters to Shouzhou to take over the deployment of the former army, and then transfer a general to Yingshang as a backup.

In this way, the former army battalion has Li Chongjin and Wang Yanchao are cautious, and Li Gu's strategic planning and logistics deployment can complement each other's advantages, and they will definitely be able to cooperate seamlessly and make new achievements. ”

Guo Rong nodded, knocked on the table with his hand, pondered for a long time, and then raised his head and asked, "What do the three of you think?" ”

Wang Pu looked at it slightly, and knew that Guo Rong had made up his mind, so he took the lead in speaking: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

“…… The ministers seconded the motion. ”

"That is it, let Li Chongjin take command, and Heyang Jiedu will make Bai Chongzan the generals, and the general will be relieved."

"No."
