October 29 of the third year of Guangshun. The infantry and cavalry coalition composed of the right battalion of the Eighth Route Army's Security Cavalry Regiment and the Fushi Infantry Regiment conquered Fengzhou under the leadership of Xifeng Minda and Yang Li. Da Liao Fengzhou thorn Shi Zangcai family patriarch Wang Jia surrendered to the state. After hearing the news, the Great Liao sent 300 cavalry to the direction of Fengzhou. The small force was ambushed after crossing the river. Quickly retreated. The fifth day of November. The inspector of the school, the commander of the right guard, the general of the Eighth Route Army, the envoy of the Eighth Route Army, the envoy of Tongzhongshumen, and Li Wenge, announced the establishment of the Hetao Military and Political Department in Fengzhou. With fine seal Minda as the military and political envoy. Yang Li served as deputy military and political envoy. The Department of Military Administration has under the jurisdiction of the Department of Marching and the Department of Consolation. The marching envoy and the supervising envoy were concurrently served by the fine seal Minda. Cui Bao, the deputy envoy of the supervising army, is also the secretary of the consolation department. The Hetao Comfort Division has jurisdiction over four counties: Jiuyuan, Feng'an, Yongfeng and Xisai.

Li Wenge was not very familiar with Liao history. He did not know in advance that the Tibetan tribes in the Hetao region had nominally submitted to the Khitan. Therefore, after learning that the Xifeng army had a conflict with the Liao soldiers, he was very surprised. Surprise to surprise. This piece is stuffed into Jiangnan, and since it has been eaten in the mouth. Naturally, there is no reason to let it out again. Li Wenge quickly organized two box barracks and two recruits to send Xifeng Minda over. On the one hand, he authorized Xifeng Minda to form the sixth regiment of the Eighth Route Army ---- the Jincheng Infantry Regiment under the Hetao Military Administration Department and the Marching Division. This regiment partially absorbed the Tibetan subordinate. At the same time, some able-bodied herders were absorbed. Both infantry of the Skinish Infantry Regiment were nuclear

At this time, Shen Chen led the Lingyan Military and Political Division to go deep into the territory of Lingzhou. Communication with Yanzhou has been cut off. The two-handed loose chess that was casually laid out at the beginning. Now it seems to have developed into an important strategic offensive direction. With less than 10,000 troops, he maintained the territory of seven states and two remote fronts. For the first time, Li Wenge began to feel that his troops were insufficient. Qin Haoran and others' crazy ideas about Yanqing Town were once again put on the agenda of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Wenge is not the only one who is in trouble.

At this moment, several prime ministers are sitting in the political hall under the central gate of the Bianjing Forbidden Center. They all frowned, thinking about how to resolve this thorny problem.

He Lubu, the envoy of the Liao State, was waiting at the Honglu Temple Pavilion at this moment. This Liao envoy from a side clan came to Xingshi to ask for guilt. The Great Zhou inherited diplomatic relations with Liao during the time of Liu Zhiyuan of the Han Dynasty. Although everyone understands that sooner or later the two sides will have to fight each other. But in the case of the existence of the Northern Han Dynasty. The two countries also maintain a minimum of peaceful coexistence. At this time, Li Wenge was reckless and knocked a stick next to the toe of Liao. If Da Liao, who claims to be the kingdom of Beibang, has no reaction, it is called fresh.

The situation is clear. Li Wenge's takeover of Fengzhou was entirely self-inflicted. If they do not recognize the legality of their actions. The world is unscrupulous and does not say anything. The relationship between the imperial court and the Eighth Route Army immediately became eight points colder. Because the turmoil caused by the previous partition has not yet passed. At this time, Li Wenge was stimulated again. No one knows what this lawless town will do. If it is recognized that its actions are lawful. It means that he will immediately turn his face with Da Liao. Now Guo Wei is seriously ill. Wang Yin was suspicious. There is an undercurrent surging in the capital division. War at this time. It's not a good time.

At this moment, everyone in the mainland of the political hall is secretly scolding in their hearts. Li Wenge, this guy. It's too good at making trouble for the imperial court.

"The two countries are fighting each other. Soldiers' salaries. Win or lose. After all, it is the imperial court that suffers. The land of Fengzhou fell into the hands of Li Huairen. It's not worth making a big deal about it! Fan Zhen shook his head and said.

"Unauthorized provocation. It's a big sin! The imperial court made peace with the Khitan. I can't help him Li Wenge! "The military department is still the book of Wang Yidao.

"You can't just show weakness!" Privy Deputy Wang Renho said disapprovingly. "The battle has not yet been fought. It's too early to say whether you'll win or lose. The sixteen states of the thistle are all in the hands of the Khitan. What is the way to a Fengzhou? ”

"It's not easy for the Privy Council to say it. The imperial court's finances were already beyond their means. There is going to be a big battle. Where does military spending come from? It must be known that the Khitan is not the Northern Han Dynasty, nor is it the Zhenning Army. and the Khitan. Without 200,000 elites, there is no chance of winning. But where did they go to raise these 200,000 warriors? Wang Pu, who had been sitting on the side, couldn't help but sneer.

Wang Renho is a privy deputy envoy who was born as a military general. Naturally, his thoughts were not as thorough as Wang Jun and Zheng Renxue. was provoked by Wang Pu. I couldn't help but be moved. He said coldly: "Fighting in battle is not calculated on the desk. If you don't want to fight, you can stop fighting. Nature is the best. I'm afraid that the Khitans won't give you this face. A certain is a fighting man. I only know that since people have come to the door. Win or lose. You can only kill it head-on. Victory naturally goes without saying. It's defeated. It's just a retreat to the Yellow River. Now there is no Du Chongwei. The King of Jin is not a stone noble. Liaogou wants to ravage Bianjing again. I'm afraid it's not that easy! ”

He said this quite seriously. Even Chai Rong, who was sitting at the top, swept in. Everyone's complexion changed.

Li Gu coughed heavily: "Don't be angry, the prince. This is a book on politics. It was not ordered in the army. Even if there is a war. It is also necessary to discuss food and wages first. The Jingshi Forbidden Army is still being reorganized. There has been a clear edict on the removal of the guards and pro-army. Only 50,000 soldiers are now urgently available. It is also necessary to beware of the Northern Han and Southern Tang Dynasty taking advantage of the fire to rob. This is not enough troops. The prince is a veteran of the battlefield. Be clearer than we are! ”

Wang In-ho was annoyed. But he also knew that what Li Gu said was the truth. At the moment, he turned his head and calmed his face and stopped talking.

Li Gu turned his head. He arched his hand at Chai Rong: "The king is the crown prince." How exactly did the Khitan envoy reply. Please also make it clear to the king! ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Chai Rong, the king of Jin, who was sitting in the chief. In addition to sitting in the position of Chai Rong's head, Feng Dao was ordered by the middle of the ground. This old guy was forced back to work in Zhongshu by the emperor's edict. At this moment, he is like an old monk who has settled down, closing his eyes and saying nothing. The affairs of the government hall do not seem to have anything to do with him. It was at this moment that Li Gu kicked the ball to Chai Rong's feet. I didn't see him open his eyes and look at it.

Chai Rong's expression at this time was more and more unpredictable. This prince seemed to be smiling at his majesty. He said softly as if he was emotional and sarcastic: "Sometimes Lonely is really a little envious of Li Huairen. Let's talk about it now. All the princes are the pillars of the imperial court. And open your eyes and see. Look at what Li Huairen is doing. What are we doing again......"

Just a few words. It was said that the faces of everyone present were hot. Fan Zhen coughed lightly. With an embarrassed expression, he said: "The whole situation is different from the corner." The court is in trouble. It's not a lie......"

"The imperial court has the Central Plains. Hundreds of thousands of troops. There are still difficulties. Li Wenge's base was no more than a few states. There are less than 10,000 people in armor. Isn't there anything wrong with him? Wang Renho immediately retorted.

Chai Rong quietly glanced at everyone. The tone was flat but firm: "If the imperial court forces the Eighth Route Army to withdraw from Fengzhou because of fear of war. We met the next day. Lonely and ashamed to see General Li

Fan Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. Look at this meaning, Chai Rong will not hesitate to admit this confused account even if he fights. He still has to talk and persuade. Unexpectedly, Feng Dao, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice: "King Jin is right. It's better not to be ugly! ”

Chai Rong was a little surprised and turned his eyes to look at the patriarch of the Four Dynasties.

Feng Dao smiled at Chai Rong: "Li Huairen is not a reckless and cracked person. Since he dared to dance a knife and a gun to the north in the west. It is clear that he is not afraid of the Khitan to raise a teacher and ask for guilt. He is not afraid of a border town. If the court makes people see fear. On the contrary, it shows weakness to the enemy. Humiliation in the inner town. This time. We can't afford to be soft! ”

Chai Rong was even more confused. It seemed to understand the incomprehension in his heart. Feng Dao then said: "I didn't think about it at the beginning. So I've been thinking about Li Huairen's intentions! Vincent. You probably think that Li Wenge saw that the Lord was sinking into his body, Wang Yin had lived in Beijing for a long time, and he didn't go, so he had the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob. Actually, I only got half right. Li Huairen really took advantage of the fire to rob this time. However, it was not the imperial court that robbed the land, but the Khitan. ”

"The current emperor of the Khitan was newly established after the violent death of his predecessor. It is not authoritarian at home. The foundation is not stable. The government and the opposition have quite criticized its practice. It is between the eight tribes. There are also many rumors. Although this man is also surnamed Jerod. However, there is a difference between heaven and earth compared to Naizu Abaoji and Naifu Deguang. With its talents. Don't say put it in the Northland. Even if it is placed in Jiangnan, it is only the master. It's just that this person has always been good at Tao. Quite forbearing. Therefore, the government and the opposition in the north are relatively calm on the surface. In fact, it has been since last year. There have been three chaos in the open and in the dark. The infighting continues. It is no wonder that the southwest of the Recruiting Division watched Li Wenge annex the Hetao and did nothing--- at this time. Who cares about things that far away? The old man's voice was calm, and he spoke eloquently. It is said that everyone in the political hall is enlightened.

Chai Rong sighed. That's the gap. Although I also saw the weakness in the Khitan's bones. But I only thought that the Khitan was powerless because of this. But it was never as far-reaching as Feng Dao thought---- Li Wenge's move was actually made before he saw it. In this matter. I lost to Yanzhou again.

"Be that as it may. The Liao envoy is now sitting in Beijing. Reception or not. It's all about the prestige of the court. He could not be promised to return Toyoshu. But he can't ask his family to find Li Huairen. Neither can show weakness. It can't be made clear that taking advantage of people's danger will hurt the face of the court. How to negotiate. It seems that there is still a discussion ......," Wang Yi said slowly.

"What's there to discuss. On behalf of the Privy Council, Wang Wenbo and Gu went to talk to He Lubu. Tell the Northland clearly. It is not difficult for Li Huairen to return the Hetao. Just return the thistle! Chai Rong's face was resolute.

"You've been talking about this for a long time. Not yet a meaning. Do you want to abolish the monarchy? ”

Guo Wei lay on the couch with a pale face. The two eyes were full of sarcasm, looking at Wang Yin sitting in front of the couch.

Wang Yin didn't care: "You have become an emperor." You can't let all the brothers end up behind you one by one! ”

"How did you ask for something after death?" Guo Wei said sarcastically. "If a man is confused. Don't say it's the emperor. Even the gods can't save it. The seventh brother has also lived a long time. Isn't this truth unbreakable? ”

Zhao Kuangyin, who was standing on top of the dormitory and was in charge of the guards, was dripping with sweat on his back. The warning in the Emperor's words was so clear. This Wang Dashuai didn't realize it. Still pestering. It's really daring. If it weren't for the great merit from the dragon. He was also an old man who was a brother when the emperor was a privy envoy. Even ten heads are not enough to lose.

"Chai Rong is not your own child after all. You are alive at the moment. Talking still works. Wait for you to be gone. God knows what a mean boy will do to his brothers. Instead of the Nine Clans being punished at that time. It's better to ask for an explanation while you're still there. Danshu Iron Coupons. It's not something without precedent. Are you so stingy? The brothers just want to beg for their lives. Is it that hard? Wang Yin asked indignantly.

Guo Wei looked at his eldest brother quietly. He said calmly: "Living people are unreliable." The Danshu Iron Coupon is nothing but a dead thing. Is it so reliable? ”

"So what do you say?" Wang Yin's eyes were wide open. Confronting the Emperor.

Guo Wei remained silent: "What should I do?" What is Xiufeng doing? Isn't he smarter than Brother Seven? Since he has given it all. Why can't Seventh Brother let it go? ”

Wang Yin glared and said, "Do you still have the face to mention Xiufeng's matter?" He is loyal to you. But thou hast failed him. I heard that he was sick in Shangzhou. Want me to say. This disease was also done by you because of your heartbroken heart. You call him back to Beijing as soon as possible. He will be cured of this disease one day sooner! ”

Guo Wei shook his head lightly: "Even if I call him." He's not coming back. If you can come back. He wouldn't have insisted on forcing me to let him go......"

Wang Yin snorted. But he didn't speak.

Guo Wei is not in a hurry. Said lightly: "Our generation." It's been a couple of decades. Or die on the battlefield. Either it's the chaos of Qianyou that makes a fuss. can go all the way to today. There were only a few of us. Over the years. We fight and kill. Why, exactly? Seventh Brother. You and Xiufeng put the yellow robe on me back then. And for what? ”

Wang Yin snorted: "I support you to be the Son of Heaven." The brethren are rich and prosperous every day. This year. Who doesn't plan for their life? ”

Guo Wei nodded: "I thought the same way at the beginning. It's just that the emperor has been doing it for a long time. Only then did I gradually have a body odor. Only then do you know what home is. What is the country. What is the world again! ”

"Those great truths of the family and the country. I don't understand. You don't have to work in vain. Xiufeng understands. It's a pity that you drove me away! Wang Yin shook his head and said.

Guo Wei smiled lightly: "Seventh brother underestimated Xiufeng. He forced me to chase him. On the one hand, there is self-preservation. On the other hand. But it is also for the sake of the fact that after my death, this country will not be reborn and the earth will change. The old man Feng Dao talked about all living beings all day long. But he didn't know. In this world, you can think of all living beings. It's not just those who are from a scientific background. Although I am a big soldier, I was born as a martial artist. In his chest, he is also a person who has the idea of a family, a country and the world. When he went out of town, he went down. I had the opportunity to pick up all my family members. Just for this world. Just for the so-called Gangchang system of the imperial court. A thought difference. and it was all over the house. The Guo family has no queen. I don't have the shame to see my ancestors underground......"

Speaking of which. He stood up. Staring at Wang Yin, he gasped and said, "For this family and country." I left behind the names of more than 160 members of my family. Seventh Brother. Think about it. Can I let them die in vain? ”

Wang Yin was dumbfounded. Speechless. But I heard Guo Wei say lightly: "Jungui, this child." I've been watching it for a long time. He is in sympathy with me. They are all miserable people. He may not be a good boy. Not a good son. Not a good nephew. But. He's a good emperor......"

As always. Outside the White Tiger Festival Hall, three steps, one post, five steps and one outpost were full of guards from the internal guard battalion. Heavily guarded. Inside the hall. The first budget meeting in the history of Yanzhou is being held. Li Wenge broke with the usual practice and put the financial meeting in the festival hall. It is designed to raise awareness among participants of internal affairs issues. The strict arrangement of sentry posts inside and outside the festival hall and the temporary issuance of conference delegate certificates before the meeting all showed the participants the fact that ---- budget was a major military matter. Not only should it not be taken lightly. Ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to be heard at all.

At this moment, sitting on the top of the White Tiger Festival Hall is Li Bin and Li Wenge. Qin Gu and Zhou Zhengyu respectively led the civil and military officials to sit on both sides. In the center, however, there is a small case. At the front of the case sat a woman in a green uniform. It was the Eighth Route Army that recorded the military participation in Chen Su. On each side of Chen Su sat two civil officials of the Nine Rank Land. I'm not too old. But it is a history of Shuling that is directly under the jurisdiction of Chen Su.

Sitting opposite Chen Su was a five-rank official in a crimson official robe. But it is the article of the judge of Yanzhou Jiedu.

Chen Su sat with his back to Li Bin and Li Wenge. The article is sitting facing each other. However, at this time, this Wenzhou judge can no longer care about the embarrassment and awkwardness caused by this arrangement. Even the sensitive gender issue of the military in front of him has been ignored by him. At this time, the article was covered with fine sweat. The teacup in his hand has long been drunk. But he didn't realize it. The tone of urgency is just talking.

“…… This is the first year that public fields have been implemented. The income from the field is almost none. Business taxes are the entire source of revenue for the state. The proportion of four or six points of land has already been called the big head for the Jiedu Mansion. Only 40 percent of the state capital remains. With such a small amount of income, it is difficult to continue the administration of the state government. This is the first year of public land. Jiedu Mansion is also counting on a big harvest in Yanzhou next year. Whether it is persuading farmers to cultivate wasteland or dividing fertilizer to build farm tools. It must be run by the government. There are ten counties in Yanzhou. There are nearly 100 officials, big and small. If it is a commission, only 20% will be given. Don't talk about official money. It's a fluke that everyone's money can be released......"

"Lord Wen!" Chen Su's voice was soft but unceremoniously interrupted the article. "According to the calculations of the military meeting. The ratio of industry and agriculture in Yanzhou next year will be seven to three. In other words, the investment in Yanzhou's industrial construction in next year's budget is more than double that of agriculture. And none of these investments need to be paid off in Yanzhou within the next year. The agricultural input of Sancheng land is also paid by the Jiedu government. This alone will cost 35,000 yuan. There are four states under the jurisdiction of Jiedu Prefecture. Yanzhou is the most. If so, the Wen adults still feel that it is not enough. Then Gyeongju only has 20,000 guan. Xiazhou and Youzhou each have only 12,000 guan. Isn't it even more overstretched? Commercial taxes allow for local retention. This is already the Taiwei and the Prime Minister, and it is not easy for the adults to govern. Te Ka En Yun. Twenty percent is already the limit of the Jiedu Mansion that can be used to get out of the land. Adults need to know. Other prefectures and counties were also officials under the rule of Prime Minister Taiwei. People also have to eat ......" (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next. More chapters. )
