"Governor, Yuwen Yong was ill, the Zhou army had to retreat, General Fu Fu wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but Qihe Fugui refused to agree, although the Qi State barely won the victory, but did not expand the results of the battle, and let go of Emperor Zhou."

Xinghua City, Happy Mansion,

Zhang Shunzhi stood respectfully in front of Xing, and told him about the Northern Zhou Dynasty's Eastern Expedition to the Northern Qi, the result of the war was too dramatic, so that people couldn't react, the Northern Zhou Dynasty tens of thousands of people, the front line stretched for dozens of miles, the momentum was like a rainbow, mighty, all the way to the withering and decaying, unstoppable, but who would have thought that Fu Fu of Zhongtan City and Dugu Yongye of Jin Yongcheng were so strong, and they stopped Zhou Wu and waited for reinforcements,

And what makes people feel even more incredible, sighing that Gao Wei's fate should not be extinct, is that Yu Wenyong actually fell ill at a critical moment of the war, which means that the Eastern Expedition of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was a complete failure.

"It's really time for Yuwen Yong to get sick." smiled happily and indifferently, without the slightest worry and curiosity, but it was quite unfathomable,

"Why did the Governor say that?" Zhang Shunzhi was stunned, and then blurted out,

"Yuwen Yong is not Gao Wei, he is fighting cocks and walking dogs, his voice is dogs and horses, his body bones have long been broken, Yuwen Yong is an emperor who can ride a war horse and go to the battlefield, how can his health be poor, the Eastern Expedition is at a critical juncture, how can Yuwen Yong easily get sick, the real reason why he does this is just that he doesn't want the Eastern Expedition to suffer heavy losses, and he is just disgraced." Said with a happy and determined smile,

Zhang Shunzhi frowned slightly, thinking carefully about the words of happiness, although he was still a little confused in his heart, but he believed in the words of happiness more, in Zhang Shunzhi's memory, his own governor seemed to have the ability to predict the future, and he actually knew the result before many things happened,

When Zhang Shunzhi was thinking, he listened to the joy and continued: "South of the Yellow River, the Qi defense is very tight, and there are brave generals Fu Fu and Dugu Yongye in charge, even if the Zhou army is powerful, it must not be easily victorious, especially Luozhou Yima Pingchuan, even if the Zhou people get a city and a half pool, in the face of a steady stream of Qi reinforcements, they can't hold on, so this time Yuwen Yong's strategy of marching from the south of the Yellow River is a mistake. ”

"Gao Si was in turmoil a few years ago, although it has been more than a year, but the people of Bingzhou are in turmoil, and the strength is still very weak, and Gao Yanzong, the king of Ande, has a gap with Gao Wei, and it is the best policy to choose to attack and merge the state, as long as Jinyang is destroyed, Yecheng will have no barrier, and the Zhou army can take advantage of the situation and win in a battle, but unfortunately, Yuwen Yong is too proud and chose the wrong strategy for his own face, so the result of this Eastern Expedition is doomed."

"But Yuwen Yong is really good, he is decisive in killing, so he doesn't drag mud and water, far from Gao Wei's waste firewood can be compared, knowing that there are Dugu Yongye and Fu Fu here, Qi reinforcements are coming, the Zhou army has a slim chance of winning, even if it wins, it will be a heavy loss, and the gains outweigh the losses, it is because he is decisively 'sick', and Zhou Guo also has an excuse to withdraw from the army."

"Ah, I see." Zhang Shunzhi's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed,

"What's going on in the south lately?" smiled happily, and then asked,

Zhang Shunzhi regained his composure and calm, "Back to the governor, the war between Sima Fu and Chen Ji has reached a stalemate, and the two sides have won and lost each other, but if you want to separate the winners and losers, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

"Well, let them fight, Chen Guo has been bent on going north these years, and he has naturally been negligent in the south, and the year before last he was defeated by the King of Sui and General Wang Lin, and suffered heavy losses, and he returned in vain last year, the morale of the army is far less than before, and there is a shortage of money, food and materials, and Ye Jin was ordered to let him buy the grain of Chen and Zhou as much as possible, but it must be done in secret." nodded happily, and then commanded in a low voice,

In the past year, under the guidance of Xingxing, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces have produced a lot of novel and practical things, which have had a great impact on the entire Central Plains, although Gao Wei has repeatedly and repeatedly strictly forbidden to communicate with traitors, how can the things produced in Shandong Province, whether it is cloth and clothing, or match soap, wine and glass, etc., are of great value, huge profits, countless businessmen and wealthy people can not resist the temptation, and would rather risk their lives to trade with Xingxing, Xing naturally will not refuse,

In this way, although Shandong and Jiangsu are only a dozen prefectures and counties, with a population of less than one million, the changes in the past year have been earth-shaking and extremely prosperous.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, not only the politics were chaotic, but the economy was also very chaotic, with a wide variety of currencies and varying values, which was very unfavorable to trade, especially many people minted coins privately, which made the economy worse at that time.

Happy was accustomed to trading grain and gold and silver when he was in Xuyi, and now the same is true of the two provinces under his rule, except for the official currency from the government, other currencies are not recognized, and for foreign merchants, Happy requires them to only trade in gold.

A large amount of real money and silver flowed into Shandong, Jiangsu Province, countless commodities flowed out, how the two provinces would not be prosperous, but a year's situation, the two provinces are full of factories, the city houses are lined up, and the streets are full of traffic.

With a lot of money, happy to buy grain, iron, coal and other industrial materials, vigorously develop and expand their own strength, with coal, iron, and then with the help of steam engines, happy can do more.

"Yes." Zhang Shunzhi nodded, and asked happily: "How is the battlefield in Renzhou?" ”

"Wu Sangui got your instructions, and every day he led 20,000 horses and horses to fight with the Huaizhou army in the field, although the shouting of killing the heavens was terrifying, but the two sides were very harmonious, basically there were more injured and fewer dead."

"Well, let them continue, if necessary, let the Huaizhou army also take a posture of attack, and send some people who don't open their eyes to the top tank, otherwise if we are too harmonious here, Gao Wei will have trouble sleeping, today's Shandong and Jiangsu are not grass arrows, they are golden swords, gold everywhere, not to mention Gao Anahu, Gao Wei coveted, I'm afraid that even Chen Ji and Yu Wenyong are salivating here." A touch of pride appeared on the happy face, and the changes in the two provinces are indeed amazing.

Whether it is the royal family and nobles, or the pawn of the peddler, who does not want to have endless glory and wealth all the time, and Shandong and Jiangsu provinces are poor and lowly places, but the wealth created now makes some people envious.

Zhang Shunzhi received the order, and he was quite proud in his heart, although Shandong and Jiangsu took off to be happy, but to be able to follow such a lord and create a prosperous world, how could he not be happy and proud,

"Governor, Master Lupin asks to see you." Happy was about to let Zhang Shunzhi go down, but he heard someone outside the house report,

Happy eyes suddenly lit up, and the mouth shouted "Hurry up, please", and the person had already left the case and walked to the door,

After a short time, the door of the study was pushed open, and Lu Ping, dressed in gray, appeared in front of the door, although Lu Ping was no longer young and tired, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his thin body was very lean and shaky.

Behind him was a young man with clear eyebrows, holding a long, nearly half a person's length, wrapped in black cloth, and the things in the young man's arms seemed to be not light, because from his hands were slightly white, his mouth was tight, his forehead was sweaty, and his breath was rapid and heavy.

"Lu Ping, see Lord Governor." Seeing the joy, Lu Ping immediately bowed down and bowed,

"Master Lu, don't be so polite, please get up quickly." Without waiting for Lu Ping to bend down, he quickly grabbed his arms with happy eyes, and said with a sincere and gentle face,

"Governor Xie." Lu Ping's smile was full of admiration and respect, as well as deep gratitude,

"Master Lu, come into the house and speak, please." Happy to lightly hold Lu Ping's arm with one hand and extend it into the house,

"Master Lu, looking at your expression, I'm afraid you have some good news to tell me." After I was happy to ask Lu Ping to sit down, he asked with a smile,

"Thanks to your lordship, what you ordered your subordinates to make has now succeeded, please take a look at it." As he spoke, Lu Ping turned his head sideways and called out "Zhi'er",

The young man who followed Lu Ping immediately stepped forward and put the things in his arms on the happy bookcase,

"Bang." The happy bookcase made a muffled sound and shook at the same time, which shows that the thing is really not light.

"It's Mo Dao." Happy eyes picked, and while asking, he had reached out and opened the black cloth package, revealing the things inside.

The black cloth wrapped in a knife is indeed a knife, the blade is heavy, the blade is glowing with cold light, and there is no blood yet, but the chill on it has made people's hairs stand on end.

Happy to hold the sword soldier in his right hand, hold it lightly in his hand, and dance a few times at will, and then there will be a whining wind, and the cold air is wanton,

"Good knives." happily put the Mo knife on the bookcase, laughed and praised,

Mo knife is a two-edged knife, very heavy, appeared in the Sui Dynasty in history, the lethality is very amazing, it is a big killer weapon of heavy infantry,

There is a happy Shandong Province, metallurgical chemical technology has made great progress, has been a world of difference from other places, is at this time the quality of the Mo knife is much lighter than the Mo knife in history, but more solid and sharp, the Tang Dynasty Mo knife army is the army in the shape of the big man, the power is infinite, just because the Mo knife is too heavy, ordinary people can not grasp it at all, happy Mo knife is light and strong, for the user requirements are greatly reduced, this is absolutely a gospel for the foot soldiers of the cold weapon era,

"Master Lu, it's been hard work, your skills are getting more and more exquisite." happily rubbed the cold and smooth blade, and praised sincerely,

Happy mind does not kill science and technology, but all are theories, it is Lu Ping's skills to make happy to know things into real things, thus creating a lot of wealth, for this old man, happy is admired and respected in the heart, Shandong, Jiangsu can have the development of today, inseparable from Lu Ping said night after night of careful study,

"Don't say that, Governor, if it weren't for your teaching, Lu Ping would have been just a craftsman all his life, and he wouldn't have been able to make so many things, as long as he could help the Governor, his subordinates would be satisfied." Lu Ping's face suddenly became serious and serious,

Gao Xing was about to speak, but suddenly he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a guard exclaimed, "Your Excellency, someone has broken through the door." ”
