"Finally withdrawn."

There were bursts of cheers on the city wall, Huang Quan nodded secretly, his method was really right, bombarding the siege equipment was more effective than directly attacking the enemy.

Without siege equipment, the enemy rushed to the bottom of the city, and he could only die, and the withdrawal of troops was inevitable.

"You must strictly guard your posts, and if the enemy comes again, report immediately."

"No."

Huang Quan waved his hand, glanced at Miansheng, and walked towards the city.

..........

Dongjun, Dongdu.

After two years of recuperation, the imperial court has largely recovered, but its military strength is much weaker than before.

The original palace has all been renovated, and it should be the same as that of the imperial capital, especially the capital, which is almost the same size as the imperial capital, except that there is no crystal water palace, the others are almost the same.

In this way, the emperor feels as if he has not lost the imperial capital, two years have passed, and the emperor seems to have forgotten it, and now he sings and dances every day, and his interest is quite high.

Of course, this is the emperor's attitude, but as the prime minister, Yang Mingyue, is not careless at all, since coming to this East County, he recovered the people of the sea in the east, and the materials under the sea have brought huge wealth to the East County, just like Wang Xu's snowy county, the war horse is extremely valuable, bringing a lot of wealth to Wang Xu.

Most of the people in the sea area in the east are small islands, there are thousands of tribes in the large sea area, and there are only a few dozen people in the small area, and the east county is thousands of miles to the east, no less than hundreds of thousands of people in the sea area, but although there are many people in the sea area, it is rare to get together, and it is difficult to form a group, so as soon as Yang Mingyue's sailor army arrives, all the people in the sea area will look at the wind and fall.

In just one year, hundreds of thousands of people in the sea have obeyed the orders of the imperial court; And Yang Mingyue also handled this matter carefully, and selected 100,000 sea troops among the sea people, and stationed them on the east side of the sea army in Dongjun. One can defend against people in the sea, and the other is to add strength to the imperial court.

In addition to the elite of the 100,000 sea sea naval forces, Yang Mingyue also sorted out the original army of more than one million. There were more than 1.5 million yuan, and Yang Mingyue selected 600,000 of them to retain.

Among the 600,000, 100,000 are elite sailors, and the rest are infantry troops, that is. Now the real strength of the imperial court is 700,000!

In Yang Mingyue's mansion, more than 20 ministers gathered at this moment, half of them were at the level of generals.

Since the emperor didn't take care of political affairs, everything was handed over to Yang Mingyue, except for the use of soldiers, Yang Mingyue could call the shots in everything.

Therefore, all major matters are discussed by all ministers. When it's time to move troops, just go to the palace and ask for the transfer of troops.

Yang Mingyue sat on the main seat, looking down, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall, he held a copy of the book in his hand, shook it and said: "The snow region and Hexi are in turmoil, Wang Xu led his troops to the west, and all the soldiers and horses in the imperial capital went to Hexi County, and at the same time, Cai Wenzhuo and Gao Quan secretly formed an alliance. Gather millions of troops and prepare to capture the imperial capital, what do you think about this matter? ”

"Prime Minister. The last general felt that this is the time when my court is rising, if we can raise a large army to cross the river, Bao'an County and Wu County are at our fingertips. ”

The person who spoke was a general of the imperial court, who was quiet on weekdays, but at the moment he was extremely excited.

Yang Mingyue smiled and shook his head. Waving his hand, he said, "What about you?" What's the objection? ”

"Back to the prime minister, Weichen thinks it's impossible."

Yang Mingyue said: "Well, you can talk about it." ”

The minister said: "Our foundation is just now solid, and it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers, if we hurt our vitality again, then it will be difficult for our court to recover." ”

"My lord's words are different, if I capture Bao'an County or Wu County, my strength will only get stronger and stronger, how can I hurt my vitality, my lord is too worried."

Someone retorted.

"My eastern capital is in the imperial examination, and I am busy with farming, it is really inappropriate to move troops at this time, and I hope the prime minister will think twice."

........

Next, many ministers expressed their opinions, and Yang Mingyue listened to them one by one, until in the end, he summarized all these opinions, and then worked out what Dongdu would do next.

"Whether it is Wang Xu, or Hu Ling, or Emperor Ming, the Three Kingdoms all pay attention to the selection of talents, especially the Holy Dynasty, which has long established Wenyuan Pavilion, Wuying Palace, etc., intending to recruit more talents, and it is precisely because of this that he has a fierce general like a cloud, a strategist like rain, and a lot of talents, I am very envious."

"Therefore, this time the imperial examination, the prime minister attaches great importance to it, it must be done hugely, so that more talents can be used by me, tell those scholars, warriors, whether they are outstanding in martial arts or outstanding in literature, our court will reuse and reward them!"

"We are short of food now, and it is summer and the harvest is imminent, so you must pay attention to this, and at the same time, you must also plan for the coming year, grow more food, and pay attention to agriculture."

Speaking of this, Yu Yuan doubted: "Then dare to ask the prime minister, what about sending troops to Bao'an County?" ”

Yang Mingyue didn't answer directly, he got up and looked at the map behind him, and said slowly: "On the surface, Wu County, South County, Bao'an County, and North County, the garrison strength is very small, only less than tens of thousands, if our army raids, it will definitely be able to capture one or two counties, and at least one county." ”

Yang Mingyue took a deep breath: "As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country; Even if we capture a huge territory, we still can't hold it. ”

"There are Cai Wenzhuo and a million-strong army in the imperial capital, if there is a fire in the backyard, they will definitely return to the army quickly, and at that time, we will have to face the two major powers alone, and the situation is worrying; What's more, if we attack the Hu and Ming kingdoms, we are directly supporting the Holy Dynasty, which is especially unfavorable to us. ”

"Therefore, for the war in the Central Plains, we should ignore it, let them eat dogs, and see who can have the upper hand, and during this time, we can also cultivate well and reorganize our troops to prepare for the future war."

Hearing this, Yu Yuan said: "Prime Minister, when will we be able to cross the river to kill the enemy?" ”

These words were also the meaning of many generals, and suddenly, many generals looked at Yang Mingyue in unison.

"Wait, from now on, we will no longer take the initiative to attack, there are 200,000 elite sailors, and they can't beat them."

Yang Mingyue said: "We are short of food now, wait for another two years, when the wings are full, I will order the expansion of the army, and the day when the recruits will train the elite soldiers of the city will be the time when my East County will rise!" ”

"Okay, let's all go down, do a good job, I will rise!"

As soon as Yang Mingyue finished speaking, the ministers nodded: "No." ”

Immediately, everyone exited the lobby. (To be continued.) )
