In the middle of winter, a heavy snow fell on the land of Hebei, and the Juma River was covered with thick ice after the snow, and the Zhou army was fully deployed along the south bank of the river, even if the cold wind was howling, and the weather was full of snow, it was patrolling as usual, but the shadow of the Liao army could no longer be seen.

It seems to be calm before the storm, there is no war on the front line, as a deployment along the border, Zhang Yue should have been stationed on the Yijin Pass front, but the DPRK set up a festival town, sent Sun Xingyou to lead 10,000 troops to take up the post, and awarded Liu Chuxin as the history of the Mozhou assassination, Gao Yanhui as the history of the Yingzhou assassination, and the state soldiers returned to Sun Xingyou's control, so that the total strength of the front line has reached 50,000, Zhang Yue returned to Cangzhou after the handover, planning to go to Mo and Ying to supervise the river after Chinese New Year's Eve.

After returning to Cangzhou, there are a lot of things, because more than 10,000 town troops were transferred to the north along the border, and the winter grain and grass were prepared, but there were still 15,000 soldiers stationed in the west camp of Cangzhou City, and guarded more than 200,000 stone military rations transferred from the north of the Daimyo's Mansion, because the river was frozen and could not be shipped, and the transfer of grain and grass materials to the north came to an end for the time being, but it will continue after the beginning of spring next year.

With so much grain and grass in Cangzhou, it is not only necessary to prevent fire and moisture, but also to prevent and control the reselling of internal thieves, which is not careless at all. However, Gongsun Qi is in charge of these things every day, and after the war, the court transferred the former Laizhou assassin Shi Yanliang to take up his post, and Zhang Yue sent the marching Sima and the Jianya army to command Dong Zunzhi to supervise, but there was no chaos.

The spring war will start again next year, and it is of course difficult to do anything about the more than 10,000 town soldiers on the front line in his hands to fight again, so Zhang Yue took advantage of the free time around Chinese New Year's Eve to hurry up the drill, except for the heavy snow a few days ago, and tomorrow is the last day of the fifth year of Xiande, and the whole army had to give five days of leave, so that the soldiers could relax for the New Year, but they could not leave the camp and go home.

After staying in the camp for half a day in the morning, sending wine and meat to the army, and eating and drinking with the soldiers, Zhang Yue returned to the government and had nothing to do, only Li Duoshou was wrapped in a bloated cotton jacket, sitting bored in the signing room, drinking tea and reading books with charcoal.

Suddenly idle, Zhang Yue was very uncomfortable, and there was always a feeling of emptiness. When Li Duoshou saw him coming back, he hurriedly got up and poured him a cup of tea and handed it over, walked to the door and looked out, and when he saw that there was no one there, he closed the door casually, turned around and took out a small red lacquered wooden box from the cabinet against the wall, returned to the brazier and handed it to Zhang Yue and said: "Mr. Feng sent someone from Tokyo to send it, there are the recent situation in Tokyo, and some of them are some things in the northwest towns. ”

Zhang Yue suddenly became interested, although he was in Hebei, the contact between Guanxi and Hehuang had never been interrupted, and from time to time, the Pedestrian Department and the Military Intelligence Department would send some information, which were all replied to.

"Hahaha...... Zhao Kuangyin has done a good job, is this impatient? Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing when he saw it, of course he knew about "checking to be the Son of Heaven", but it was really unexpected and surprising that there was an additional "Son of Heaven out of the northwest".

couldn't help but put the small wooden box on the table next to him, stretched out his hand to bake unconsciously on the blue flame in the brazier, thinking in his mind, according to his memory, Zhao Kuangyin should be in the Northern Expedition, because Guo Rong was sick on the way to send a small wooden card to the sick Guo Rong, and then, Guo Rong stayed in the Daimyo's mansion, deliberately entrusted to the orphan, and even the Zen position Zhang Yongde, but Zhang Yongde's performance was too poor, which disappointed Guo Rong, and finally established the sect training.

And now that history has changed dramatically, that is, the Northern Expedition began earlier, and there are more preparations. And Zhao Kuangyin got the position of checking in front of the palace in advance, which means that he will have stronger strength and more adequate planning.

However, in this matter, although Zhao Kuangyin achieved his goal, Zhang Yue himself actually became an indirect beneficiary, Zhao Kuangyin offended Zhang Yongde, which aroused Li Chongjin's vigilance, and he has shown favor to Li Chuyun, so Feng Qianhou will naturally know to come up with an idea, let Li Chuyun come forward to do things, and his strength in the guard division will be stronger.

Li Chuyun, Luo Yanhuan, Han Zhongming, and Chen Jia are on the surface, and Feng Qianhou is the mastermind behind it, even if he has been in the field for a long time, he has two major institutions, the Military Intelligence Department and the Pedestrian Department, which can also be controlled remotely, and his strength in the DPRK and China is not inferior to Zhao Kuangyin.

Once the Northern Expedition starts, the Guards Division will inevitably participate in the war, with himself on the front line, Zhao Kuangyin wants to play some tricks, no matter what, he can't bypass his privy, so what will he do next?

Zhang Yue not only had no worries, but was full of expectations. Or, someone has a saying: Fighting with the sky is endlessly fun; Fighting with people is endlessly fun. Because power is a poison.

"Although I don't suspect the lord today, Mr. Feng still suggests that Shang Shu defend himself, and the book is also available, so you might as well take a look at it and copy it to Tokyo." Li Duoshou reminded.

"Then let's wait for the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" Zhang Yue nodded, finally came back to his senses, got up and went to the back of the table to write a chapter, and by the way, he reviewed a small box of public and private newspapers.

The northwest side seems to be divided into sections and towns, and the sand is scattered, but in fact, Xuan Chongwen has always been in charge, and the officer training battalion in Lanzhou has not only not reduced its size, but has expanded to train as many as 5,000 officers and soldiers in the battalion. This is to ensure the quality of the standing soldiers after the establishment of each town, and the real elite soldiers in a hundred battles are 5,000 heavy steps and 3,000 cavalry, followed by the soldiers of Huizhou and several jiezhen.

Xue Wenqian brought Hebei to be stationed in Yijin Pass, only the 2,000 horse army transferred from the Zhenyuan Army in Huizhou, the 3,000 horse army in Jingzhou, the 5,000 infantry, and the five infantry regiments of the Zhenyuan Army.

This is hard power, but Zhang Yue attaches more importance to soft power, including logistics money, food and materials, except for the official one, which has been handled by Huihe Commercial Bank; There is also a talent pool, which is the really important thing.

Since taking office in Jingzhou, Zhang Yue has expanded the school hall, and after the spring examination has enrolled practical subjects such as Ming Law and Ming Arithmetic on a large scale, the four towns of Hehuang, Hexi, and Changyi, including Xia Sui and Tiandejun, which were recovered at the beginning of this year, have also done so, not only expanding the school hall, strengthening the teaching force, but also recruiting more students. Therefore, as long as there are still their own people under the rule of these towns, these places are within a controllable range, and the longer the time, the stronger the soft power.

There are also Wuping Jiedu Medicine Reencounter, Eyue Jiedu Yang Shouzhen, Chen Yingtai, whether it is military strength or talents, Zhang Yue is not lacking. What is lacking now is just to justifiably give the position and recruit talents, but this is too revealing, and Zhang Yue has to wait for the opportunity.

After dealing with these reports, Zhang Yue was still thinking about the relationship between the northwest, Hunan, and the current Cangzhou, when someone knocked on the door outside, and a soft woman's voice said: "Is Zhang Xianggong there?" Can a concubine come in? ”
