In the main hall, Liu Yong's majestic gaze swept over the faces of all the civil and military personnel, and everyone bowed their heads, otherwise it would be a crime of great disrespect.

"Since the lonely march into the Central Plains, the city of Xuchang was broken in the first war, the second war was awarded by Lejin, Xu Huang and Xu Chu fled, the tiger prison was broken, the three wars broke Yanjin, the tiger and leopard rode to the annihilation, and the generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun were killed. The heroes trembled," Liu Yong slowly said the recent results, with a majestic tone and heroism to break through all obstacles, which made everyone's hearts boil, and even Tian Feng, who had passed the age of sixties, felt excited in his heart.

"The king is mighty! The king is mighty! The king is mighty! ”

Leaning slightly,

In the main hall, all the civil and military officers immediately shouted, and the blood of many people who had been silent was also stimulated, and some people couldn't help but burst into tears.

Just a few years ago, Cao Cao was still a fearful figure for everyone, no one would have imagined that he would be killed so miserably in a few years, and more importantly, he was standing in the camp of the victorious side, which was incredible!

"King, our army is like a rainbow, as long as the king gives an order in the coming year, cross the Yellow River, and the troops will be able to destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop and unify the north. At that time, Jiangdong and Xiliang will definitely open the city and descend, and domination of the world is just around the corner! A military general came out of the ranks, and said excitedly, and most of the other people couldn't stop nodding, as if it was as easy as drinking water and eating.

Liu Yong frowned slightly, and suddenly changed his words and said: "Although Cao Cao was defeated, our army also paid a great price, so in the next two years, Lone decided to recuperate, wait for the military strength to recover, and then try to the north!" What do you think? ”

"Huh!?"

Liu Yong's words shocked everyone, at this time, there was a truce, what is the so-called reason, they were all a little confused, only Pang Tong, Tian Feng, and Fa Zheng nodded slightly, as if they breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yong looked at Pang Tong and said, "How much grain and grass does our army still have?" ”

Pang Tong immediately came out and said: "Jiangxia Yuzhang still has two million stones left, and this year it can produce three million stones, which can basically maintain the needs of General Gan Ning's army." The grain stock of the four counties of Jingnan is less than one million stones, and it is expected to produce five million stones, and Nanjun and Nanyang are only maintained, and the land of Runan is barren and almost non-productive, so if a major war is launched again, the supply of grain and grass will be extremely difficult! ”

"Ahh How so? "Many people didn't expect that with Jingxiang's abundant savings and output, it would reach the point where there was no food available.

"Our army is indeed powerful, but it also needs more money and food to supply, otherwise if we rush into battle, Yuan Benchu's fiasco will be repeated again in Jingzhou! Do you have any objections? Liu Yong swept around solemnly, and sure enough, no one insisted on fighting in Hebei anymore.

"Okay, the matter of cultivation in the coming year has been decided, Shiyuan, Yuanhao, this matter will be arranged by you!"

Liu Yong wanted to see everyone's attitude with this matter, but since he had already understood it in his heart, he announced his withdrawal from the dynasty after discussing a few things again.

But as soon as he returned to the study, Tian Feng and Fa Zheng chased after him: "Wang, have you really decided to cultivate next year?" ”

"What? Do you have doubts about Lone's words? Liu Yong glared at the two of them coldly.

"Of course I don't dare, it's just that this ......" Fa Zheng hesitated a little.

However, before he finished speaking, Tian Feng spoke directly: "As far as the minister knows, the amount of grain and grass reported by Shi Yuan in the court is only half of the actual amount, I don't know if Shi Yuan deliberately concealed it or was it instructed by the king?" ”

Tian Feng really deserves to be a long-time officialdom, and Liu Yong was forced into a dead end in one sentence, if Pang Tong deliberately concealed it, it was a bad plot and a rebellious heart, but if Liu Yong instructed it, it means that Liu Yong is already planning and arranging a new plan, and the battle of Yanqiu made no one dare to underestimate the wisdom of this king.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Yong asked rhetorically, as if he didn't believe that Pang Tong would hide it in this matter, but his tone was extremely calm, as if he was asking about an extremely ordinary matter.

"Lone Hui Zhao Shiyuan asked about this matter, is there anything else?" Liu Yong obviously didn't want to discuss this issue anymore.

"Uh...... Nope. Fa Zheng and Tian Feng glanced at each other, they were both human spirits, and naturally they could see that Liu Yong must have his own plans for doing this. Liu Yong has completely grown into a qualified imperial figure, showing domineering and majesty in his gestures, since he is unwilling to say, it means that he doesn't want them to know, so they don't dare to ask more.

Exiting the study, Fa Zheng suddenly said to Tian Feng: "Lord Tian, the king seems to have plans to enter Hebei, right?" ”

Tian Feng smiled slightly, and stroked his beard: "The king said, if you cultivate in the coming year, you will naturally have to cultivate." Xiaozhi, do you want to doubt the king's decision? ”

"This ...... Of course I don't dare! Lord Tian laughed. ”

The two sighed and turned to leave.

Liu Yong has been fighting in Xuchang since he left Xiangyang, conquered Xichuan, and fought against Cao Cao Ding in Xuchang, although there are all kinds of news coming constantly, but he is still worried, whenever he is alone, his thoughts will grow like weeds after the spring rain, and he will continue to spread in his heart. Especially when I heard that Huang Yueqing and Princess Wannian gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, respectively, I couldn't help but want to go back. The child was a great temptation for him, a man who had become a father for the first time in two lifetimes.

There is also Lou Gui, the old man who helps him wholeheartedly, but the strange thing is that there is no news of him in all kinds of news, and the others seem to have discussed it, and never mention half a word in front of him, even the people he secretly sent replied that Lou Gui was cultivating at home, and he didn't see anyone, and every time he thought about it, it made him feel a chill in his heart.

"It seems that everything will not have an answer until we return to Xiangyang!" Liu Yong sighed.

"Back to Xiangyang!"

A simple order passed down like the wind, from Xuchang to Xiangyang, garrisons and searches began everywhere along the way, eliminating all suspicious characters and hidden dangers, clearing obstacles, just to ensure the safety of the king of Chu.

All kinds of characters also began to move, and they were busy for personal or family interests, such as the Huang family, the Pang family, the Ma family, and even some second-rate and third-rate families such as the Xiang family, and even the family of Kou Feng's uncle Liu Qin.

During this time, Li Hui also returned to Xuchang under the escort of Ling Tong.

"King, Ling Tong is fortunate not to be dishonored and has sent Master Li back safely!" Compared with before departure, Ling Tong was a little more calm and a little less childish, but whenever he inadvertently leaked his edge, he would immediately feel that there was a spear next to him that was ready to attack at any time, and the aura was compelling.
