Yun Puzi didn't see Li Zhihe's letter, but he broke his toes, thinking that Li Zhihe and Lu Qingxia and the others behind him could also think that the Zheng clan would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Huaixi Forbidden Army easily move to Suizhou, which is located in the northwest hinterland of Jingxiang.

At this time, the Marquis of Qianyang and the Han family were connected with the Shouwang Mansion and Huaidong, and secretly communicated with the song, why did the late Red Mansion family risk offending the Zheng family in death and play such a sparse performance?

Did they feel that the situation was urgent and had to fight for Suizhou, but that they were secretly in communication with the Zheng family?

Yang Yuanpu saw that Yun Puzi's thin face was tense like an old tree's crumbling plate, and he fell into contemplation for a while without reflection, and asked again with a little unsoothsay: "What do you think of Yun Daochang's book in Shuzhou?" ”

"Oh," Yun Puzi seemed to wake up, raised his head and hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty's gift, the old Taoist can practice in Chongfuguan, and read some Taoist books every day for self-cultivation, how can he be qualified to talk nonsense on social affairs?" ”

"You just told Qingyang that the imperial court soldiers are strong, but you don't have such consciousness?" Yang Yuanpu's sharp eyes stared at Yun Puzi like an eagle and asked.

Seeing that Yang Yunpu had just been pardoned and innocent, and he was about to turn over the old account when he turned his head, Yun Puzi also felt that his scalp was numb, and said: "Lao Dao doesn't dare to put his beak indiscriminately, this matter is a big matter, Your Majesty should ask Zheng Duzhi and Zheng Zhongcheng to ......."

Great Chu generally followed the old system of the previous dynasty, the subordinate province led the ministries and departments to govern, the Privy Council was in charge of the military machine, and among the ministries and departments, Shen Yang led the Ministry of Officials, Han Daoming led the Ministry of Households, Zhang Chao led the Salt and Iron Transit Envoy, Zheng Yu led the Du Zhi Envoy Division, in addition to Du Chongtao's military department, the Imperial History Observatory headed by Zheng Chang in the Imperial History; These ministers are also involved in political affairs, which is equivalent to vice governors.

Yun Puzi didn't say it thoroughly, but the meaning in the words was also obvious.

Li Zhihe wrote a letter to say things, divided his troops and moved to Suizhou, and wanted to reopen the second battlefield of the Shouzhou Army from the northwest flank, and the Privy Council, many departments in Menxia Province would not have much opinion, and the biggest obstacle was the Zheng family, or Li Zhihe had secretly communicated with the Zheng family and obtained Zheng's permission.

Seeing that Yun Puzi said this, Yang Yuanpu's face sank immediately, and Qingyang thought to himself that he should have thought of this, right?

After a long time, Yang Yuanpu stared at Yun Puzi and asked, "Chief Yundao, you said that the imperial court should be strong and strong, but how should it be strong and strong?" ”

Yun Puzi smiled bitterly and said: "Lao Dao served for a few years in front of the Shengzhou Festival in his early years. If you want to talk about the method of strengthening soldiers and horses, Your Majesty has the Queen Mother, Lu Gong Envoy, Shen Xiangye, and Han, Zheng, Zhang Huang, and other adults, and there are Qianyang Marquis, Xinjin Marquis, Xinwang Wang, General Zheng, General Chai, General Zhang, and General Gu. ”

"These people?" Yang Yuanpu suppressed the resentment in his heart, so he didn't let the light snort out of his nose.

At this moment, Yun Puzi also felt that Yang Yuanpu was a little pitiful.

At the beginning of the resumption of Jinling and his ascension to the throne, although Yang Yuanpu did not completely relieve the internal and external troubles around him, he more or less had a bit of a sign of prosperity, but in just over two years, he became a tiger and wolf both inside and outside.

But it all seems inevitable?

It's a pity that Li Yu said all this, but he couldn't live to see it

All this happened, the faint sadness in the muddy old eyes when he was about to die, was it unwilling, was it loneliness?

Seeing that they were talking next, Yun Puzi and Qingyang just responded cautiously, and Yang Yuanpu didn't feel any interest, hugged the eldest son on his knees, handed it to the eunuch next to him, and left Changxin Palace with Chen Ruyi and An Jixiang.

Seeing Yang Yuanpu leave, Qingyang's peerless beautiful eyes swept over the eunuchs waiting left and right, and their beautiful eyes were as clear as a deep spring, but they revealed a cold cold.

If the light of his eyes is really a knife, Qingyang has already poked out a thousand holes in this cadre.

"Mother, you haven't played chess yet." Yun Puzi reminded.

"Play chess." Qingyang answered stiffly, then took his young son's hand, turned around stiffly, and walked to the warm pavilion.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds, Your Majesty doesn't trust Niangniang, it's really Li Zhihe who fell to the Queen Mother, so that he can no longer trust anyone in his heart." Although the eunuchs and palace maids also felt the murderous aura in Qingyang's eyes just now, at this time, no one came to the porch to be bored, but Yun Puzi still lowered his voice and said.

Qingyang suppressed the trace of anger in his chest and asked, "Your Majesty, what did he mean by what he said just now?" ”

"Shen Yang and Yang En both know the art of applying it to the world, and they are also loyal to His Majesty, so they naturally have the method of strengthening the soldiers and horses, but as the old Tao just said, first, His Majesty has no one who can be trusted in his heart, and second, the method of strengthening the soldiers and horses is all about a slow drawing, Your Majesty may not have much patience, so he will ask the old Tao without words, right?" Yun Puzi said.

Qingyang asked: "Li Zhihe is doing things in Shuzhou, according to the opinion of the head of the Cloud Dao, have they been secretly communicating with the Zheng family for a long time?" ”

Yun Puzi glanced at the broken snow outside the window and said, "The imperial court is a little quiet now, there should be a dark voice, right?" ”

"What benefits can the Zheng family get, will they agree to their conditions?" Qingyang asked curiously.

"If there are conditions that can be met by the Zheng family, maybe it will be another big change in Da Chu since the incident," Yun Puzi frowned slightly and said, "But if you want to say anything about the change, Lao Dao is also old, and the old bones are lazy, and he hasn't walked outside Chongfu Temple for a while, and he hasn't noticed any rumors spreading below for the time being." However, it has come to this point, and it will not be groundless......"

Qingyang held his young son's hand, and at this moment he felt that he was like a small boat in the stormy ocean, and he would be shattered by unpredictable changes at any time.

…………

…………

Yun Puzi left Changxin Palace, walked out of the palace gate and walked towards Chongfuguan.

At this time, the snow is getting heavier, and a shallow layer of snow has accumulated on the eaves of the courtyard walls on both sides.

Yun Puzi, accompanied by two Taoist children, walked out of Chongfu Gate only three or four hundred steps, and saw a carriage parked in the alley, and Yao Xishui showed a beautiful and cold face from the corner of the uncovered curtain.

Yun Puzi motioned to Dao Tong to look back first, he walked into the alley, lifted the window, bent over and climbed into the car, and saw Lu Qingxia also sitting in the car, slightly stunned, or sat down next to the couch.

The royal whip gently whipped the horsewhip, and the royal chariot slowed down on the imperial road of the imperial city.

"Your Majesty just went to Changxin Palace, did you say anything?" Yao Xishui asked.

"The wedding of the Marquis of Qianyang and Wang Wenqian's daughter is approaching, and Wang Guifei and His Majesty have said something about how to reward them, but they have not said anything else."

Yun Puzi said.

"I'm afraid it's not just that, when did the Cloud Dao Chief start to keep it from us?" Yao Xishui stared at Yun Puzi's old face and asked.

"You secretly traded with the Zheng family, if Your Majesty hadn't asked, Lao Dao wouldn't have known at all, and since you also planted people in Changxin Palace, Lao Dao thought that from now on, the well water will not interfere with the river water." Yun Puzi said.

"Those idiots, at most, are staring at some movements on the water, where do they know the hearts of people hidden under the water?" Lu Qingxia opened his mouth at this time to explain, "As for the deal with the Zheng family, it is indeed to be discussed, but Zhihe wrote in Shuzhou, which is just a reason to provoke the talks, and has not officially sent someone to talk - you must ask us what conditions we can come up with to meet the Zheng family, and we might as well tell you at this time." Although Zheng Hui was good at governing the army, he was limited by the troops in Deng Xiang, and it was difficult to do anything in the face of Liang Guo's soldiers and horses in Rucai and Guanzhong, and Suizhou was only passively building fortifications between the passes and valleys between Huaiyang Mountain and Tongbai Mountain. Not to mention that there is spare strength to kill out of this gap, I am also worried that the Shouwang army may be divided into a part of the soldiers and horses to infiltrate into the hinterland of Jingxiang through this. At this time, Chai Jian did nothing to defend against the Yongzhou rebels in Shaozhou......"

"The Right Dragon Bird Army and the Left Shenwu Army have a big change of defense between the north and the south?" Yun Puzi asked in shock.

On the one hand, it is the clamping of the imperial court, and more importantly, after the Jinling Incident, the money and food that can be allocated are really limited.

Therefore, in the direction of Dengxiang on the western front, as long as the Liang army did not have a major assembly action, the soldiers and horses of the Right Dragon Bird Army were controlled at about 15,000 people, and more soldiers and households were mainly at ease in the cantonment military palace to cultivate cultivated land, rest and recuperate, and store grain and grain.

Coupled with Deng Xiangjun's local soldiers in the three states, Zheng Hui can directly mobilize only 24,500 soldiers and horses, but he has to take into account the two defense lines of Wuguan and Nanyang Fangcheng, not to mention that Zheng Hui does not have three heads and six arms, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to do anything.

Chai built the Wuzhiling defense line in the south of Shaoheng and Hengzhou, because Miao Yong led his troops to defect to Yongzhou, and the situation can be said to be bleak.

Although Lu Qingxia said that he had not officially talked about this matter with Zheng Yu and Zheng Yu, the two sides did not have a certain will, and Li Zhihe could be said to be quite reckless in writing in Shuzhou.

And the Zheng clan may be inclined to agree to such an exchange, in addition to Jingzhou in the southwest being under the control of Zhang Ji, probably mainly because Deng Junxiang and Ying, Sui Zhuzhou, have experienced many attacks in the past hundred years, sparsely populated, and barren land.

Even though Jingxiang had been recuperating for some years after the war in these areas, Du Chongtao, Han Qian, Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou behind him, as well as Li Zhihe and Chai Jian in the early years, who served as the commander of the camp and the state Sima in Junzhou, all had great influence, so that the Zheng clan could not easily turn the hinterland of Jingxiang into their sphere of influence.

Not to mention that the Liang army's offensive on the eastern front was ineffective, and the focus of the attack on Dachu was shifted to the western front, and the military pressure on Jingxiang was greater.

In fact, it is also an extremely urgent realistic requirement for the Shouzhou Army to completely surrender to the Liang Army, transfer the elite of the forbidden army to enrich Suizhou, block the passage of the Shouzhou Army to the south of Huaiyang Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, and strengthen the defense of the northern line of Jingxiang.

Perhaps in Zheng's eyes, in this case, instead of being dragged back by the Late Red Mansion series, and finally causing the Right Dragon Bird Army to be defeated and defeated in Dengxiang, and losing the most critical chips in Zheng's hands, it is better to stop losses and exchange defense areas in time while the investment is not large......
