Chapter 102: Warm Up

Ma Yun, who was leaning on the head of the bed, couldn't help but shake his head after reading Gao Ping's war report. In the first battle of Gaoping, the elite of the Han army was annihilated, and in a short period of time, there was no ability to go south. No, it's not for a short time, and the Han State will no longer be able to form an elite army of 50,000 from now on. The twelve prefectures in Hedong District have to face the plundering and exploitation of the Khitan, how can they have so much financial resources to form an army. The Four-Nation Alliance, since then, has one less to contribute, and one more to fill.

"Husband, husband, you can bend and stretch, if you lose today, won't we win him back tomorrow?" Zhang Qian gently persuaded.

"The capital has been lost, how can there be a chance to turn it over." Ma Yun said angrily.

"Hey, it's better to rely on others than on yourself. As long as you are strong, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. Just like Sister Ziying, no one dared to make a move on her at all. Zhang Qian said unconvinced.

Ma Yun glanced at Zhang Qian, because he had just danced and played swordsmanship, his fair face was slightly flushed, white and red, and she was very beautiful. The willow eyebrows under the bangs are like the moon, the starry eyes are like water, and the hair is like a cloud. Ma Yun still couldn't help stretching out his willow waist to stop Zhang Qian, and said with a smile: "Who said that no one dared to shoot at her!" I've seen people shoot at her on a regular basis. ”

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said in disbelief: "How is it possible, in the past, my sister was a good kung fu, and now my sister is the queen's mother, and no one dares to be disrespectful." Who would be so bold as to dare to shoot at my sister! ”

"The man was bold." Jack Ma said with a smile.

"Who is it? I'm going to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall and swatted the fly on the tiger's head. ”

Ma Yun said with a smile: "That person didn't eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, but the lust and gall." He is far away, close at hand. ”

Zhang Qian pointed at Ma Yun, pouted and said, "You? You can't even beat me, how can you beat my sister! ”。。。 You know ...

"Zhao Aiqing, do you think this plan sent by Li Tingru is feasible?" Sitting in the carriage heading south, Ma Yun asked Zhao Pudao. After Ma Yun's injury improved, he began to return south, after all, the king of a country should not live with him for a long time.

After the defeat of Gaoping, Li Tingru returned to Taiyuan and immediately repaired the book, reported to the Chu Emperor Ma Yunyu, and put forward his own suggestion to support the strength of the pro-Chu in the Khitan, so as to reduce the resistance of the Khitan ministers to send troops south.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the key to Li Tingru's suggestion is to see what Yang Gon's specific achievements are, if he can really make a mess of Hebei, let's use clever tricks to push Yang Gon to the high position of the Khitan, this grasp is naturally much greater, but if Yang Gon does not make any achievements in Hebei. That... Yang Gon is of no value! Zhao Pu said.

"Well, Aiqing is reasonable. After all, Yang Gon is a Han Chinese, and the Khitan people still have lingering feelings about the Han people, if he doesn't do anything himself, and he can't make a good achievement, we don't need to recommend him. Ma Yun said.

"Your Majesty is reasonable, in the opinion of the minister, if we want to recommend, we can't just be close to this person, but also this person should be on our side. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, not only to be cautious, but also to take precautions. No matter where you say it, we should also install some people on the Khitan side! Zhao Pu said.

"Aiqing's words are the words of Lao Cheng's country. However, we should be careful in this matter, take a long-term view, and put a long line and catch a big fish, which should not be rushed. The Khitan is not monolithic, there are contradictions between the Han and the Khitans, and there are also contradictions between the tribes within the Khitan, this is our opportunity, but we are now too far away from the Khitan, and the whip is beyond reach. Ma Yun said.

"Your Majesty, the king of Xiangxiang left behind in Tokyo will take over in front." The commander of the Guards, Meng Yong, reported outside Ma Yun's carriage.

"Huh? Staying in Tokyo? Ma Yun was stunned, when did he come out with such an official position. In front of it is the boundary of Yangzhou, and in the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was an official position left behind in Tokyo. After all, the former state of Wu was set to be in Yangzhou, and Xu Wen and Li Yu, who replaced Wu Wang Bingzheng, were in power in Jinling. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, there were two capitals, Jinling and Yangzhou, and Tokyo was set up to stay behind to manage the affairs of Yangzhou. However, since the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the official position of staying in Tokyo has been removed. Who set it up again?

And didn't Ma Guangmeng, the king of Xiangxiang, serve as the commander of Jiangnan West Road? Why did you suddenly arrive in Yangzhou? Ma Yun's eyes were suspicious, resentful, and even faintly murderous, he turned his head and asked Zhao Pudao: "Zhao Aiqing, am I confused, why is there suddenly an extra Tokyo guard?" ”

Zhao Pu "poofed" and knelt down: "Your Majesty, since you fell unconscious with an arrow in the Bianhe River, the white-clothed army has rushed south, the war in Huainan has been raging, Dachu has shaken, and the people are uneasy. Rumors are rife and warnings are endless. Then... Then... In order to keep the Great Chu and maintain the status of the royal family, the queen was forced to temporarily listen to the government, so she made some adjustments. ”

Zhao Pu secretly complained in his heart, after Ma Yun was hit by an arrow, he was in a coma for more than ten days, and no one dared to pack tickets Ma Yun must be safe and sound, at the same time, Ma Yun was also trapped in Xuzhou City by Zhao Kuangyin, in the case of low morale, no one dared to guarantee that Xuzhou would not be lost, and the military situation was critical, and the white-clothed army had crossed the Huai River. Jinling was forced to have no choice but to ask the queen to listen to the government, if... If it weren't for the queen's insistence, if it weren't for the white-clothed army's timely withdrawal from Huainan and the restoration of the connection between Xuzhou and Jinling, the current emperor Ma Yun would probably have become the emperor.
