In the melodious sound of bells, drums, and jade ceremonies, Emperor Guo Rong changed into a purple daily dress without any ornaments, and walked in briskly with his hands behind his back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Excuse me!" Guo Rong smiled, seemed to be in a good mood, waved his hand again and again, walked quickly to a wide vermilion wenge wood carved dragon and phoenix screen in the middle of the inside, and sat down behind the low couch and long table.

The ministers and ministers were stunned for a while, and then smiled, everyone was very interested, and it was not the court, so they had to pay attention to solemnity and solemnity, of course, no one ran out to correct the etiquette.

"Recently, the affairs of the court have not been very heavy, so don't worry that no one will deal with everything, and the ministers are casual! Especially the generals who returned from victory, who want to go back to the local area to take office, are not busy at this time, and drink this cup with me, in order to pacify Liangzhou and celebrate the great achievements of Xifu Hehuang! Guo Rong raised the wine cup and drank it all very boldly, not for show. He was also born as a martial artist, so of course he had a lot of alcohol.

"Congratulations for pacifying Liangzhou! Congratulations for Xifu River! As soon as the civil and military officers sat down, they stood up again and drank together.

Speaking of which, this is indeed a very prominent and important event in the past two years, far more profound than the significance of Qin Feng's war. Because it was the land lost in the Tang Dynasty, the previous dynasties failed to recover, and the current dynasty recovered, and the civil officials who had instructed the chronicles of the Chinese scholars to highlight the merits of the emperor and the civil and military forces of the dynasty.

Of course, these are all false names, and the actual benefits go without saying, the 30,000 war horses that Zhang Yue brought back to Beijing this time have received great attention from the Privy Council and the upper-level generals of the forbidden army. And the Chinese scholars already know that there are a large number of cattle and buffaloes in Hehuang and Songpan that can be used as farming cattle, and yaks are full of treasures, not to mention their uses.

"In the second year of Xiande, Zhang Yuanzhen presented "Pingbian Strategy: Guanxi Raiders", and now it has been completed, which shows that I have a unique vision, and it also shows that I did not use the wrong person, and I can finally let go of a heart! But the war in Huainan has not been resolved, there are still Shu, Lu, Hao, Chu and other states have not been lowered, I have been preparing for two years from Xiande, and I have been to Huainan twice, and even Queen Xuanyi is seriously ill and has no time to take care of it, I feel ashamed! But the army besieged Shouzhou for more than a year, it can not be said that I did not do my best, but after I retreated, the state and county rebelled, and this year it was regained, it was extremely difficult, and the money and food consumed doubled. ”

I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, or because Queen Fu is emotional, Guo Rong's voice is gradually hoarse and low, but it is undoubtedly very powerful, all the civil and military in the hall are infected, and their faces are heavy after looking at each other, and they are silent.

Guo Rong raised his eyes and glanced at the civil and military forces in the hall, and when he saw that no one spoke up, he was displeased, so he named and said: "Wenbai! Let's talk about the gains and losses of the previous battle of Huainan, and what should be the strategy if you go south again? ”

Wang Pu didn't shirk when he heard this, and at the moment when he got up and sorted out his appearance and walked out slowly, he quickly sorted out his clues, organized his language, and then bowed unhurriedly and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty!" The pre-war preparations for the southern expedition were a little insufficient, and at least they did not anticipate the attack on Shouzhou Jiancheng, so it was protracted. If you go south again, you should first send the prison officials to lead the craftsmen to the south, and build equipment for military use in the fortified cities of various states. Another envoy was sent to Jingnan and Hangzhou, urging Gao Baorong and Qian Hongyu to mobilize water divisions to help Wang Shi advance along the river, and attack the Southern Tang reinforcements from east to west, while the Jiangbei Prefectures were powerless and would be destroyed under the siege of Wang Shi's sharp weapons. ”

Wang Pu said strategically, but the details were not clear, Guo Rong nodded, not very satisfied, slowly moved his gaze to the right, stayed on Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin and others for a while, turned to the side of the general of the Western Expedition, and immediately found that Zhang Yue was eating in a large piece, one of the two little palace maids was peeling oranges for him, and the other was refilling his drink from time to time, cutting the preserved mutton piece by piece with a knife, and bringing the whole plate to him.

Zhang Yue held a bamboo chopstick in one hand, and a silver fork used in the palace, and when he opened the bow left and right, everyone stopped, and looked at it together with the emperor's gaze. At this time, Zhang Yue finally realized that he was a little embarrassed to pick up the napkin folded in the wooden box next to him, wiped his oily and slippery lips, wiped his hands and put them back, and then glanced up at the throne, obviously a little weak-hearted.

"Have you eaten? If it's not enough, two plates of preserved meat and two pots of wine will be served in the palace! Guo Rong looked at it with burning eyes, pursed his lips and looked like a smile.

"Ahem...... No more! I couldn't eat early in the morning, but now I'm full! Zhang Yue laughed, causing all the ministers in the palace to laugh, and they all felt the same way. Because I have to get up every morning when I go to court, I really can't eat much, and then when I enter the palace, I get hungry very quickly.

"That's good! I can't wait for you! Did you hear what you just discussed? Just say what you think! Guo Rong didn't care, the imperial banquet was very dull most of the time, the civil officials were very polite, and the military generals rarely ate and drank as unscrupulously as Zhang Yue.

"This ......" Zhang Yue was hesitating, whether to go out of the queue like Wang Pu and make up for it like the previous dynasty, but as soon as he stood up, Guo Rong seemed to understand his thoughts, waved his hand and pressed down, and asked him to sit down and reply.

Zhang Yue sat down as soon as he saw it, his face was solemn, his eyes instantly became calm and sharp, and after organizing a frustration, he said indifferently: "Your Majesty sees it clearly, and wants to absorb the words of the ministers and act, which is really a model of a Ming monarch!" ”

As soon as Zhang Yue opened his mouth, he gave a sycophant, in fact, he hadn't thought about whether he wanted to tell the truth, didn't he see what Wang Pudu said just now, although Zhang Yue was in the wind, but he heard it, and he has been paying attention to the Huainan war, and he knows a lot about it before and after.

Guo Rong smiled when he heard this, but he just raised his hand and listened quietly. All the civil and military forces in the hall also looked over, after all, since Zhang Yue led the troops, he has not suffered any defeat. And at the same time, preparations began, and the "Pingbian Policy" he presented was successfully completed, but the Huainan War was fruitless, and the ministers also wanted to hear what he had to say.

"I think it...... In the battle of Huainan, when His Majesty personally conquered twice, the soldiers attacked the city and pulled out the village, and all of them took the lead. However, when His Majesty returned to the court, most of them were small and sporadic battles, and he did not hear of tens of thousands of enemies and capture a few cities. Is this due to the lack of logistical military supplies? Or does the general not have the right to cheap moderation? I heard that all of them are from Lingjie Town, and they are stationed on the front line, but why can't they take a small Shouzhou City? Do you need to concentrate your forces and besiege it? ”

Zhang Yue's series of questions were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, Guo Rong also had relatives and felt very wronged, but he kept quiet. The Chinese officials of the hall immediately exchanged heads and muttered to each other. The faces of the generals of the forbidden army suddenly became very ugly, especially Li Chongjin and the others.

But Zhang Yue's words were not finished, and he continued to speak: "If you conquer Huainan again, you should prepare as soon as possible, 100,000 forbidden troops do not need to be exhausted, select 40,000 or 50,000 elites as the main force, and send troops to neighboring Jiezhen to assist in transporting grain and grass, and attack Lu, Shu and other prefectures in the south with Shouzhou as the base point on the west road; The east road is based on Sizhou Xuyi, the water and land attack synchronously, the early and the west road to attack Haozhou, complete the strategic task, the place is handed over to the rear town soldiers to garrison, south to Tu, and the two states, and Xuyi main force north along the Huaishui, south along the north of the river to the east sweep, with the water division mobile transfer troops, it is not difficult to take! ”

"Say it lightly! It's just on paper! Luzhou and Haozhou are all strong cities, and Yangzhou and Chuzhou cities are built near the water, how are you going to conquer them? Li Chongjin asked unconvinced.

Zhang Yue finished saying everything, but he was silent at this time, because people's memory is limited after all, it is normal to think of leaks in the front, and the language cannot be said in such detail. Not to mention actually leading troops into battle, even staff officers are not so easy to do. (To be continued.) )
