Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.

The Turkic invasion, the iron cavalry opened the way, not to harass the surrounding cities, but to smash the Yellow Dragon, towards Chang'an City.

In terms of the art of war in the Central Plains, this is called a lone army going deep, which is a taboo for soldiers. However, the Turks did not think so, because the steppe peoples had fast war horses and did not need the supply of grain and grass lines, so they entered the hinterland of the Central Plains and went on a rampage, and it was too difficult for the Central Plains infantry to encircle and suppress and pursue.

The Turkic cavalry only carried more than ten days of food each, and on the way, there would be a team of scattered cavalry who would hit the grass valley and rush into the towns and villages to grab the grain, burn and plunder, and supply the grain and grass needed.

Therefore, according to the characteristics of the Turkic cavalry, Luo Zhaoyun set the ambush range, that is, in the area of Sanchuan in Shangjun, as a location for frontal resistance, because in addition to being the only route for Yan'an County and Honghua County to enter Shangjun, the road is easy to walk, and the periphery is full of lofty mountains.

Then to the southwest, northeast sides of the expansion, there are two rivers blocked, namely Luoshui, Huachishui, two big rivers, once the Turkic team enters here, encounters ambush and interception, want to break through to other places, in the end it is also in vain, will be blocked by the river, can only turn back along the circuit.

Luo Zhaoyun and the humerus henchmen and ministers repeatedly analyzed and deployed, and finally it was time to take action to close the net.

Lai Hu'er, Chen Aya and others left the palace and went back to their respective offices to arrange work.

Luo Zhaoyun got up and moved his muscles and bones, working hard all day long, governing the country, and martial arts were a little behind, and his cultivation has been stagnant, and there are even signs of retreating.

This is also a helpless thing, as the emperor who fights the world on horseback, he relies on personal courage in the early stage, but the further he goes, the more he needs to strategize, govern the country and the country, and make plans and manage the overall situation, rather than charging into battle.

Therefore, after Luo Zhaoyun returned to the palace, he still had to review the folds every day, take the time to read some Dahua's laws and regulations, and listen to the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy explain the rise and fall of the previous dynasties, the inheritance of Confucianism and scriptures, etc., and integrate the historical details and thinking of this era in order to truly integrate into it.

Many of his modern ideas cannot be used directly, and they need to be integrated with the customs and culture of this era, historical precipitation, production relations, etc., and the pace is too big and easy to cause problems, which is beyond the ability of civil and military officials to accept, and it is easy to become a lonely monarch, which is counterproductive.

The key to governing the country is to employ people, be judgmental, open-minded, and be able to make good use of capable ministers, and all functional departments can operate in an orderly manner, so that the large institution of the imperial court can be stabilized, and the people of the world can cultivate and live normally.

Night falls.

The sky is full of stars and shining light, like countless silver beads, densely inlaid in the deep black night sky, shining brightly.

The palace has been lit up, rows and strings of red candle lanterns, hanging on many towering corridors, carved beams and painted eaves, and heavy eaves tower-like pillars, illuminating the palace city brightly.

The courtyard is deep, the tiles are exquisite, and in the magnificent palace, Luo Zhaoyun and a group of concubines reunited for dinner.

Empress Changsun, Empress Yang, Xue Zhiqing, Gao Yufei, Xiao Yiyi, Ning Muhe, and Murong Ziyan gathered at the big round table, in addition, there was also a Dou Hongxian, and it was the first time for her to participate in this kind of palace family banquet.

The two maidens who entered the palace with Dou Hongxian just mentioned the lady, the level of the sixth grade, and Dou Hongxian has always been favored by His Majesty, and she has been to her palace many times, and it seems that she has been greatly satisfied, so she has been promoted all the way, and in just one month, she has been promoted from the girl to the beauty, close to the third grade, and is about to be crowned Jieyu.

This kind of big gathering of concubines, Luo Zhaoyun looked at the queens and concubines who were radiant, flowery, and beautiful, and immediately felt the benefits of being an emperor.

Eight young women with blue hearts, captivating the city, dressed in different ways, with jeweled hairpins shining and satin court dresses, looking graceful and luxurious.

Except for these eight concubines, there are personal maids standing behind them, waiting beside them, most of them are pretty and delicate, with lovely figures, and there are young palace maids, palace laves, and inner eunuchs serving at any time, waiting for dispatch and summoning at any time.

This is not only the grandeur of the royal family, although Luo Zhaoyun hates the evil old society and extravagance, but this is a product of the times, and the people's wisdom is at this level, accepting the hierarchy of the feudal dynasty, they all take it for granted, and Luo Zhaoyun can only obey. It's just that the grade has been lowered a little, the style of luxury and pleasure is not promoted, and some complicated etiquette and scenes are all simplified, and the atmosphere of Dahua has been much better than that of the previous dynasty and the Great Sui.

At the beginning of the banquet, Luo Zhaoyun took the lead in raising a glass and drinking with the concubines.

"The queens of the east and west, as well as a few concubines, are rare to get together today, those who can drink can drink, and those who are pregnant replace wine with tea, we celebrate today's hard-won reunion. I hope that you can live in the palace, love each other, live in harmony, and live happily and peacefully. Luo Zhaoyun said some vernacular at the beginning, which is also his heartfelt words, sincerely hoping that there will be harmony in the palace, not as bloody and cruel as the later palace fighting dramas such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The eldest grandson Wurong, Yang Caiyu, Xiao Yiyi, Gao Yufei and other women, and Luo Zhaoyun have a lot of experience, it is not easy to walk, some have known each other for a long time for almost ten years, there are ups and downs, there are parting, there are worries, there are lovesickness, now living in the palace, although it is a little boring, but at least I can often see the man I love, even if he is the emperor, but he is still the man who does not forget his original intention, which makes the women feel relieved and moved.

It was the first time for Murong Ziyan to share a table with so many other wives, and she was a little rusty and restrained at first, but fortunately, Empress Eldest Sun and the others were kind and pleasant, and they were not xenophobic towards her, and they had a lot of caring words, coupled with the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of the banquet, which made her quickly integrate in.

may be the only person who has a knot in her heart, is Dou Hongxian, when she entered the palace, she had the name of the real girl at the top, and she was stabbed in the palace, and now she can't steal chickens and rice, and she puts her body in and becomes his woman, not to mention how depressed she is.

However, within a month or two of entering the palace, Luo Zhaoyun took good care of her, was very pampered, stayed for many nights, and had a great impact on her body and mind.

But Dou Hongxian knows very well that his identity is forged, and he will definitely be investigated afterwards, and then it will be the crime of bullying the king, and besides, he deceived him, and he is guilty of bullying the king, how should it end in the future?

So the eight women dined, and only Dou Hongxian was a little absent-minded.

"Tomorrow, Your Majesty will drive the expedition in person and go north to fight against the Turks, let me and others congratulate Your Majesty together, win the flag, break the Turks, and return triumphantly as soon as possible!" Empress Eldest Sun smiled and took the lead in raising a glass to propose, on this occasion, it is more appropriate for her to take the lead as a queen, and other concubines proposed it, which is a little arrogant.

"I wish Your Majesty!" The other concubines raised their glasses together, smiling and beautiful faces in the city, the wine was not intoxicating, everyone was drunk, Luo Zhaoyun smiled, and drank and talked with the women, which was a family banquet before the expedition.
