Chapter 0600: The Verge (Five Watches!) 20,000 words! )
Shi Shouxin was obviously a little displeased when he saw Zhao Guangyi, especially when Shi Shouxin mentioned Yanmen Pass, Zhao Guangyi's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
Shi Shouxin paused, still gritted his teeth, and continued to speak.
"In such a series of battles, the soldiers of the forbidden army are all exhausted. Moreover, after a series of wars, the treasury was almost empty. And before that, Your Majesty ordered an expansion of the army by 800,000.
At present, hundreds of thousands of new troops have entered the camp. Training is underway, but equipment, horses and other supplies are not yet fully equipped, and recruits have not yet been trained.
There is no way to send it to the battlefield......"
"Humph!"
Shi Shouxin wanted to continue, but he didn't expect Zhao Guangyi to snort coldly and directly interrupt Shi Shouxin's words.
Zhao Guangyi said with a dark face: "What do the captains and sect leaders in the forbidden army do to eat. It's been almost half a year, and even the new army has not been trained. Also, what are the prisoners doing, and why haven't they been equipped with supplies yet? ”
Shi Shouxin hurriedly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The minister is afraid. ”
Zhao Pu wanted to speak, but he pouted and was silent.
Since the Yang family left Beijing, there have been more things about the Yang family.
Zhao Pu has also spoken on the affairs of the Yang family many times.
In fact, many times, he is just very pertinent in evaluating the affairs of the Yang family.
But in the eyes of the cautious Zhao Guangyi, it was seen as helping the Yang family speak.
Although Zhao Guangyi did not take away Zhao Pu's status as prime minister, he revoked Zhao Pu's seat in the court.
This is tantamount to telling the civil and military officials in the court that Zhao Pu has fallen out of favor.
All of a sudden, some people who were secretly dissatisfied with Zhao Pu jumped out and frequently blamed Zhao Pu.
This hurt Zhao Pu a lot.
He secretly decided that in the future, he would keep silent about encountering the Yang family.
Zhao Pu didn't speak, but Li Xin, who was standing behind him, spoke.
Li Xin arched his hand at Zhao Guangyi and said solemnly: "The minister agrees with Shi Shumi's suggestion. It is not appropriate for me to use swords and soldiers now, and it is better to rest and recuperate.
As Shi Shumi said, the imperial court's successive wars have led to the emptiness of the treasury.
Although there was Cao Shumi's previous seizure of the wealth accumulated in Dali for a hundred years. But since His Majesty expanded his army, most of the money has been used to pay the army.
In addition, His Majesty expanded the Jinming Pond and established two side halls outside the Jinming Pond.
The money has been spent.
And the reason why the equipment of the new army in the forbidden army has not yet been put in place is not the reason why they will be put in prison.
However, because of the shortage of food and salary in the household department, the prison will not be able to obtain the allocation of the household department for a long time, so there is no money to build new equipment. ”
Zhao Guangyi's face turned pale.
Since the Zhao brothers sat on the throne, they have not been rich.
The treasury has always been in a state of emptiness and semi-emptiness.
Cao Bin finally made a fortune from Dali, but before he had time to cover the heat, he spent it all.
In other words, Zhao Guangyi has been poor for a long time, and before he has time to enjoy it, he will be poor in an instant.
Zhao Guangyi immediately looked at the five important ministers fiercely.
The meaning in the eyes is self-evident.
Why is the money spent so quickly, and are you embezzlement?
"Ahem......"
Zhao Pu may know him better than Zhao Guangyi himself, so after seeing Zhao Guangyi's fierce eyes, he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, in order to prepare the army, most officials in the DPRK and China have not received the Yulu for three months......"
Zhao Pu told Zhao Guangyi with facts that no one was corrupt.
As a result, Zhao Guangyi was a little embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became very strange.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Guangyi asked in a low voice: "Then what if I have to go to the state of the army?" ”
Cao Bin has nothing to do with himself.
The corners of Shi Shouxin's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said, "Lao Chen has been feeling unwell recently......
Li Xin arched his hand and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, by all means. There is a cloud in the art of war: the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Now that the treasury is empty, it is better to wait for the autumn grain to be collected, when the treasury is full, and then talk about military affairs. ”
Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Pu angrily, and said in a deep voice: "What does Zhao Aiqing think?" ”
The old god Zhao Pu said: "If Your Majesty is bent on crusading against Daizhou, then the old minister will definitely follow him to the death." ”
Before the words fell, before Zhao Guangyi nodded, he only heard Zhao Pu say again: "It's just Your Majesty...... Compared with Daizhou, recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun is the top priority. ”
Zhao Guangyi's face turned black all of a sudden.
Talking about the sixteen states of Yanyun did poke at Zhao Guangyi's weakness.
Compared with the Yang family in Daizhou, the Liao State is the real confidant.
Now when the treasury is empty, it is indeed not cost-effective to spend national strength to conquer the Yang family.
However, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to stab the Yang family in the back, Zhao Guangyi was not happy.
"Bang~"
Zhao Guangyi pounded the dragon case and shouted indignantly: "Do I need to worry so much if I want to deal with a Yang family? Do you want to let the Yang family ride on my head? ”
"The sins of the subordinates deserve death."
The Lord humiliated his ministers to death.
Zhao Guangyi was able to say this, which was enough to prove the anger in his heart.
However, no matter how angry he was, the five important ministers were indifferent.
Zhao Guangyi didn't bother to bother with the five important ministers anymore, he waved his hand, "You guys should retreat first." ”
"The ministers are leaving."
After the five important ministers gave up, they left the Daqing Palace.
In the Daqing Palace, only Zhao Guangyi and a group of palace people remained.
Zhao Guangyi asked Wang Jien under the royal street angrily, "Wang Daban, you say, I really have nothing to do with the Yang family?" ”
Wang Jien hesitated for a moment and said, "The slave has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Wang Jien and said lightly: "Say it......"
Wang Jien said with a smile: "It is not difficult to clean up the Yang family. ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Guangyi looked surprised.
Wang Jien said with a smile: "Your Majesty, have you ever remembered that when you were old last year, Zhang Delin, the Marquis of the forbidden army, moved to the left to become the training envoy of the Fenzhou regiment because of his merits......"
Zhao Guangyi raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Fenzhou is close to Daizhou, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Fenzhou regiment......"
Wang Jien smiled and said: "Zhang Delin used to be a person from the Three Princes' Mansion, and he didn't belong to any of the generals, so he just happened to be ......."
"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... It is the honor of the slave to share the worries of His Majesty. ”
……
When Zhao Guangyi was secretly thinking about how to attack the Yang family.
Wang Gui's letter also arrived in the Fuxing Martial Arts Courtyard of Fuxing Mansion.
It was Lao Yang who received the letter, and suddenly received Wang Gui's letter, Lao Yang was a little surprised.
After carefully reading Wang Gui's letter, Lao Yang frowned.
Lao Yang immediately invited Yang Hong and Mu Yu to discuss together.
Inside the conference room.
Lao Yang threw the letter to Yang Hong and the others, "Look, Wang Gui invited the old man to Xiazhou, what do you think?" ”
After reading the letter carefully, Yang Hong handed it to Mu Yu.
Yang Hong muttered, "Mountain Chief, this is an opportunity for us to revive the Martial Academy. ”
Lao Yang asked with a smile: "How do you say it?" ”
Mu Yu read the letter and answered: "The students in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy have been locked up in the academy all day long, and after a long time, it is inevitable that they will be closed. It's easy to train a guy like Zhao Kuo.
Therefore, find the right opportunity for students to experience leading troops in battle. See the brutality of the battlefield.
In the future, when they go to the battlefield, they will not dishonor our name. ”
Yang Hong nodded and smiled: "I don't have as many thoughts as Mu Yu, I just think that children should be allowed to see the world." It's all a group of children, learn more, see more, so that they won't go to the battlefield in the future, because they lost their lives in panic. ”
Lao Yang raised his eyebrows, "So, are you agreeing to Wang Gui's invitation and preparing to go to Xiazhou?" ”
"Ahem......"
Yang Hong coughed awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "Mountain Chief, don't shiver at me." The person Wang Gui really wants to invite is you. He sent you a letter because he was not sure about the battle in Xiazhou. So I'd like to invite you to help with the substantiation.
With you in charge, Wang Gui will have more confidence in his heart. ”
Yang Hong's sycophant shot was good.
Lao Yang listened very usefully.
Lao Yang rubbed his hands and said, "To be honest, the old man has been idle for more than a year, and his hands are indeed a little itchy, and the old man also wants to see the methods of Li Jiqian's Dingyan Army.
Back then, when the old man was in Linzhou, he also had a few encounters with the Dingyan Army. But he never found a chance to fight.
Lao Yang really wanted to see whether it was the interests of the Dingyan Army under Li Jiqian's command, or the interests of the Volcano Army under the command of the old man. ”
Yang Hong said with a smile: "Since the mountain chief has decided to go to Xiazhou, then I will go down and let the children prepare." ”
Lao Yang nodded and said, "It's good to prepare early." If you are a new student this year, don't take it with you. They are still very immature. The students of last year, although they were also very immature, knew some ways to march. It's just the right time to take it out and practice.
This time, the old man led them, and Mu Yu served as the old man's deputy.
Yang Hong, you just stay in the academy and teach the new students. ”
"Uh~"
Yang Hong's face changed in an instant, and he asked unwillingly, "Why do you want me to stay behind instead of Mu Yu?" ”
Lao Yang said disgustedly: "You Yang Hong's set of turtle-like tactics of war, the old man has long been tired of seeing it." The old man just took advantage of this opportunity to appreciate Mu Yu's art of war. ”
Yang Hong's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "If you don't go, you won't go......"
Mu Yu said arrogantly: "I will definitely let the mountain chief see my Mu Yu's ability." ”
Ever since Lao Yang appeared in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy, Mu Yu, who had been suppressed, couldn't raise his head.
Whether it was the art of war or martial arts, Mu Yu was pressed by Lao Yang and couldn't raise his head.
This made Mu Yu look very aggrieved.
Now that he has the opportunity to show his strength, Mu Yu is naturally unceremonious.
Lao Yang's side decided to go over to help Wang Gui glance, so he didn't hesitate.
Immediately, let Yang Hong gather the students of the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy and rush to Xiazhou together.
……
Suizhou.
When Lao Yang rushed to Xiazhou, Zhe Yuxun, who invaded Suizhou, encountered a hard battle.
200,000 party soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Li Deming, entered Suizhou, and encountered each other outside a city called Zichang.
200,000 party soldiers and horses, after encountering the Zhe family army of Zhe Yuxun, did not even say hello, and directly launched an attack.
200,000 cavalry, frontal charge, against 40,000 Zhejia army.
Under the impact of the party's soldiers and horses, the Zhejia army began to retreat frequently.
The cavalry of the party is best at field warfare, and under the pressure of heavy troops, the Zhejia army seems to be a little weak.
Zhe Yuxun made a quick decision, and under the frequent impact of the party's army, he led the soldiers and horses of the Zhejia army to occupy the Zi Great Wall, and based on the Zi Great Wall, he fought with the party cavalry.
Li Deming led the 200,000 cavalry to besiege the Great Wall.
This is three days.
Inside the Great Wall.
Obviously suffered the defeat of the Yuxun, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
It seems that it is someone else who suffers the defeat.
At the head of the city, Zhe Yuxun and his youngest son Zhe Weizhen stood side by side, Zhe Yuxun looked at the black and oppressive party army outside the city, and asked the young son, "Wei Qian, you said that in this battle, will we win or lose?" ”
Zhi Weizhi's naïve face said firmly: "In this battle, Dad, you will definitely win." For as long as I can remember, I haven't seen your father defeated. ”
"Hehe......"
Zhi Yuxun smiled, "You have faith in your father." ”
Fold Yuxun put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "In this battle, the real victory or defeat is not ours. It's in the Silver State. ”
"Why do you say that?"
Zhe Weizhi asked with a frown.
Zhi Yuxun smiled confidently: "Do you really think that your father suffered a defeat, so he was forced into the Great Wall by the 200,000 troops of the party members?" ”
Without waiting for Zhe Weiwei to answer, Zhe Yuxun asked and answered himself, "When the party's army sent to Suizhou, my father had already received the news. And four days ago, my father got the news that Ye Qi Ganbo was preparing to defend Xiazhou.
Ye Qiganbo defended Xiazhou, and between Li Jiqian, there will be a shocking battle.
The main forces of both sides are on the border of Yinzhou and Xiazhou.
Although there are 200,000 party troops here, they are not the real main force of the party.
It's all put together temporarily, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it's not very strong.
If the father really wants to fight them to the death, he may not have no chance of winning.
However, if the two sides continue to fight to the death, we may not be able to get benefits.
Therefore, the father was deceived and defeated by the party members, and withdrew his army into the Great Wall of the son.
Now that his father has entered the city, the party members are helpless against their father.
As a father, he only needs to hold off these party members, wait for work, and wait for the news of the decisive battle in Yinzhou.
In the first battle of Yinzhou, if the field begged to win, the 200,000 troops outside the city were defeated.
In the first battle of Yinzhou, Wakano begged Ganbo was defeated, so we broke through and withdrew our troops back to the camp. ”
Zhi Weizhi looked at Zhi Yuxun with a dull gaze, and said in amazement: "Dad, can you still fight like this?" ”
Zhi Yuxun laughed loudly: "Otherwise? Tough on the enemy? How many people we have, it's not enough to fight with others. Battles that can be won with wisdom will never be won by strength. ”
Zhi Weizhi looked at Zhi Yuxun with admiration, "Dad, you are so powerful." ”
Zhi Yuxun looked in the direction of Yinzhou from afar and said with emotion: "Everything depends on the success or failure of the battle of Yinzhou." ”
……
Silver State.
Li Jiqian led an army of 260,000 and entered the territory of Yinzhou.
Li Jisheng, the commander of the Dingyan Army, has long been waiting at the border of Yinzhou.
When he heard the scout's report that Li Jiqian had arrived, he personally rushed to greet him ten miles away.
Li Jiqian rode a red horse, rode in front, and behind him, followed by a dense party army.
After Li Jiqian saw Li Jiqian, he hurriedly jumped off the horse and shouted in surprise: "Brother, you have finally arrived." ”
"Ahem......"
"Uh...... Li Jizhuan, the Dingyan Army, has seen my lord. ”
Li Jiqian sat on horseback, nodded slowly, and asked, "How is the battle going?" ”
