Chapter 161: Tricky Things
After entering the palace for a few days, Lin Feng thought that he should relax and rest away from the smoke and flames of war, but unfortunately he was born with a hard life.
Xiao Biesheng's newlywed thoughts are self-explanatory, and what is even more troublesome is that all kinds of cumbersome things in the government and politics are really not as happy as the war, however, these are all things that Han Xuejian can't make up his mind, and they have accumulated over time, and they urgently need him to deal with them personally.
Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't realize how bad he was, and he was also diligent in politics, and in a few days, through the mouth of the minister, and the queen told that Lin Feng had made up for the changes in the northern situation in the past half a year, the contradictions between the princes, and the current situation in the north.
After hearing about the affairs of Zhao State, especially after hearing about the death of King Zhao Heng, the Zhao brothers turned against each other, the ministers had a gap in their hearts, the county military camps were destroyed, the money and grain were swept away by the Li family, and the general Feng Zixiu was demoted. The great country fell apart, divided into Southern Zhao and Northern Zhao, and Lin Feng sighed in his heart.
Zhao is the overlord of the north, if the monarch and the ministers work together, make great efforts, and go through the army, within three years, they are absolutely qualified to send troops to the outside world and embark on the road of unifying the north.
It's a pity that Zhao Ke succeeded to the throne and couldn't judge the situation and see the northern pattern clearly, but instead, he attacked the famous ministers and generals in the DPRK, and now he has ended up falling apart, which is really regrettable.
Although the current Northern Zhao is strong, it has long since lost the momentum of the Zhao State in the past, and in terms of Zhao Ke's current pattern, he thinks that it is not as good as Zhao Hengwang. Now Northern Zhao is preparing to lead the troops of the Five Kingdoms, and Li Mu leads the troops to attack the Song Dynasty, which is really a battle of righteousness.
However, Lin Feng was also secretly glad that fortunately, the three counties of Hunhe were defeated, and the military strength and land increased dramatically, otherwise the Zhao State would fall apart, and the Yan Kingdom might become the target of public criticism and be attacked by the vassal states.
At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Yan State, including more than 200,000 cavalry in Donghu, no matter what the vassal states, whoever dares to peep into the Yan State must first weigh their own capabilities.
In addition, the Yan Kingdom has become stronger subtly, and the Zhao Kingdom has gradually weakened, Lin Feng thought that this was not only not a bad thing for the Yan Kingdom, but on the contrary, it would be of great benefit.
In the past, Zhao Guo was too strong, and Yan Guo's soldiers pointed to Zhao Guo, and there was a suspicion that the grasshopper would shake the tree.
Now, the Northern Zhao Yan Kingdom still does not dare to touch it, but the Southern Zhao has an area that exceeds the Yan State, but the military strength is only more than 200,000.
Lin Feng crossed horizontally, isn't it, after solving the affairs of the DPRK and China, he can discuss with Situ and Wen Jishi, and try to move Nanzhao.
With an idea, Lin Feng didn't pay attention to the affairs of Zhao State for the time being, and at this time, according to what the queen said, there were four things in Yan State that urgently needed him to deal with.
First, Zhao's civil strife, the Li family fled to Yan State, Zhao Ke was wanted before, and then the Li family carried a huge amount of money, whether to stay or expell, and it was urgent to decide.
Second, the envoys of the Rong tribe entered Beijing to seek the protection of the Yan State, hoping to move the tribe to Hulin County.
Third, the envoy of the Song State came to Beijing and informed the empress that she hoped to meet with him before the year to discuss the affairs of the two countries.
Fourth, the envoy of Zhao entered Yan, on the one hand, he asked Yan to hand over the Li clan, on the other hand, Zhao Kexing overlord order, asking Yan to send troops, and join the troops of Zhao, Zheng, Jin, Liang, Chen Yan, and the six countries, led by Li Mu, to attack Song and Southern Zhao.
In addition, Yan Guo still has its own internal affairs to solve, one of them, when Lin Feng entered Beijing, he announced the relocation of the people at the north gate and the division of land.
Second, the general framework of the new deal has been implemented for two years and has made great achievements, Lin Feng thought it was time to start refining the measures of the new deal and implement them while the iron was hot.
Six things, all of which are big things, must have a detailed plan before the end of the year, and some things must be solved before the end of the year.
However, as far as the four things that happened outside were concerned, on the issue of the Li family's going or staying, Lin Feng sincerely hoped to keep the Li family.
Li Gui is the door valve, and there is a conflict with Lin Feng's governance, but after the implementation of the new policy in the Yan Kingdom in the past two years, there are extremely high restrictions on the family gate valve, that is, the Duan Wen family, doing business in the Yan State, there are also higher taxes than ordinary merchants, and the Li family enters Yan, and the tax must not be sloppy.
Heavy taxation was not the main factor for Lin Feng to accept the Li family.
The Li family has no foundation in Yan, and if you want to control the government, it is simply impossible, which requires one or two generations to operate. In addition, the Li family has tens of thousands of dollars and grain in their hands, far more than the income of the Yan Kingdom in the past two years of war, and the funding of the Duan and Wen families.
For the Yan State, which is constantly raising troops to fight, the huge amount of money in the hands of the Li family is one of the factors for the Yan State to accept the Li family.
On the other hand, the Li clan is a gate valve that has lasted for thousands of years, the family is big, and the main side branch people are full of talents, if the Li clan is willing to serve the Yan country, the talents in the Li clan are also one of the factors to accept the Li family, after all, this can fill the lack of talent in the Yan country.
Money and talents are all things that Yan Guo or lacks, and the Li family just brought these two things, which is in Lin Feng's arms.
Zhao Ke's wanted warrant for the Li family, what to take in the Li family, is to be the enemy of Zhao Guo, in Lin Feng's opinion, a little open-mouthed.
He will not be afraid, nor will he be afraid of battle. Northern Zhao did not have Feng Zixiu and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern battalion under his command, and only Li Mu and the 500,000 tigers in the northern battalion remained, which was inferior to Yan in terms of military strength.
Once the battle starts, Northern Zhao still needs to weigh and weigh, the strength of Yan is not good, but Southern Zhao is eyeing it, I am afraid that I have long been looking forward to Northern Zhao mobilizing troops and taking the opportunity to send troops north.
Although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Lin Feng believes that openly and secretly, there are many vassal states that hope to use troops against the Zhao State, and it is the alliance of the Yan State and the Southern Zhao State that also makes it difficult for the Northern Zhao to end up.
Northern Zhao can still command the vassal states today, nothing more than the existence of Li Mu, and Northern Zhao inherited most of the territory of Zhao, the area is still extremely wide, no less than the Song State, if the army is conscripted, within two years, it can train 500,000 tiger army.
It's just that if because of the Li family's affairs, he broke up with Northern Zhao unhappily, Yan Guo was not afraid of Zhao Guo, and Lin Feng was not afraid of Zhao Ke Xiao'er, it was a big deal that Yan Guo would take refuge in Song and advance and retreat with Song Guo.
Lin Shuying, the empress of the Song Kingdom, was in a hurry to meet with her before the year, presumably because of the Six Nations Alliance.
Among the six countries, Yan is not the most powerful, nor is it the largest number of troops, but Yan has more than 100,000 troops in the Bishan area, more than 100,000 troops in the Hunhe region, and hundreds of thousands of troops under Hou Mingfeng, Lei Jieying, Feng Shihu, Lin Xiao, and Liu Xuanyuan, and the strength should not be underestimated.
What's more, in the past year, the Yan State has been conquering the east and west, invincible, hundreds of thousands of troops, except for the Donghu prisoners, are all invincible tiger and wolf divisions, whether they are thrown into Northern Zhao or Song, they are not small forces.
Summing up the above factors, in order to solve the problem of Li's stay and departure, it is necessary to meet with Lin Shuying and the Zhao delegation beforehand, and make the right choice according to the attitude of the two countries.
Then, only the Rong people are left to seek refuge and hope to be stationed in Hulin County.

Then, only the Rong people are left to seek refuge and hope to be stationed in Hulin County.
The affairs of the Rong clan are irrelevant, Lin Feng believes that even if they don't agree to the affairs of the Rong clan, the Rong clan will not dare to do anything, after all, the Yan country is not what it used to be, but the Rong clan is declining, and fighting a war is probably the last resort choice of the Rong clan.
Rubbing his hands together and putting them on the stove to keep warm, Lin Feng turned to the queen and asked, "Xue'er, what do Situ and the others think about the Li clan and the Rong clan stationing in Hulin County?" ”
These two things have been discussed in the court for many days, and no decision has been made, it is nothing more than a big matter, but there must be an idea, Lin Feng especially wants to hear the advice of Situ and others.
"Well, the matter of the Li family, Situ strongly advocated leaving the Li family, with the huge amount of money of the Li family, it is harmless to the Yan country, Situ thinks that Zhao Ke's pursuit and killing order is suspected of being tricky. Moreover, at present, Zhao Ke hopes to unite the armies of the Six Kingdoms and teach Song and Southern Zhao a lesson, even if Yan takes in the Li family, Zhao Ke will not be hostile to Yan even though he will be angry, at least not before defeating Song or annexing Southern Zhao, no!
The matter of the Rong tribe, Situ does not recommend staying, if it is absolutely necessary to stay, it is necessary to greatly weaken the strength of the Rong tribe, otherwise, it is raising tigers. As the queen spoke, she suddenly paused and said, "What Lord Situ said is all from the public heart. However, when dealing with the affairs of the Rong clan, Fei'er's feelings must be taken into account, and since Murong Qiyan, the envoy of the Rong clan, entered Beijing, Fei'er cried many times in private. ”
The Rong people hoped to move the tribe to Hulin County, this matter, Lin Feng was puzzled, before the conquest of Donghu, the Rong people united with Donghu, Zhao, and the three kingdoms to attack the Xiongnu, not only recovering the previously lost territory, but also seizing a lot of territory in the hands of the Xiongnu.
The Yan State sent troops to Donghu, and at that time, the Rong people moved to the border of the Zhao State, and they were protected by the Zhao State, so it stands to reason that there is no need to move to Hulin County.
Hulin County is not the homeland of the Rong people, the pasture is abundant, suitable for horse grazing, after all, it is not as good as the homeland! What's more, for a hundred years, the Yan State and the Rong people have been hostile to each other, and the Yan State has become strong, and if they don't crusade against the Rong people, they have left a face, but the Rong people still want to enter the territory of the Yan State, aren't they looking for death?
The Rong clan has a million people and 300,000 cavalry, no matter where they are, they are a large force, and Lin Feng will not understand the truth that others cannot be allowed to snore in the couch.
Besides, the Rong tribe is located on the border of Northern Zhao, protected by hundreds of thousands of troops under Li Mu, and the Xiongnu and Donghu will never dare to harass the Rong people without a head or brain.
"Fei'er, you know the big gift, it's not a girl who messes around, she may be homesick." Lin Feng shook his head and said softly: "Northern Zhao protects the Rong clan, it is better than staying in Hulin County, unless the Rong clan peeps into Hulin County." ”
The queen listened to Lin Feng's words and shook her head slightly, some things happened during the conquest of Donghu, and Lin Feng didn't understand it at the moment.
