In the middle of winter, the southern winter is particularly wet and cold. Zhao Hui was alone in a velvet coat, looking at the northern sky, silent. Just quietly looking at the sky.

It has been more than half a month since the army defeated Liu Jun. The court's reward and punishment for this time has come down, and several generals have been rewarded, especially Han Yunsheng, who was really appointed as the general of Qingzhou and led 100,000 troops to guard Qingzhou. In addition, Liu Chongcheng Huaide and the two were promoted to the general of Lingzhou and the general of Yingzhou, the general of Yingzhou is a fragrant glutton, and the general of Lingzhou is miserable, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, don't look at the generals, then go to Lingzhou is to retire, and to Yingzhou is to enjoy happiness. Moreover, Lingzhou and Yingzhou both need to recruit soldiers and horses, and the grain, grass, and military salaries are provided by the imperial court, and the quota is only 50,000. Other generals all had generous rewards, among which Zhao Hui was surprised that Zhang Cheng was awarded the third rank of Huaihua General, of course, this is just a false title; However, he followed closely after granting Zhang Cheng the post of Jizhou Assassin and leading the military and political affairs of Jizhou. In terms of the holy decree, Zhang Cheng was required to enter Beijing immediately to face the saint.

At the same time, the imperial court also issued a holy decree, ordering Zhao Hui, the governor of the capital, to resign from the post of governor and return to Beijing to recuperate. Ordered Shangshu to order Zhao Jingyu to take over the post of governor of the capital and attack Cangzhou.

When Zhao Hui saw the holy decree, he knew that all this must be the idea of his eldest brother, Zhao Jingyu. He is trying to win over Zhang Cheng. Thinking of Zhang Cheng, he thought again that half a month ago, because of Sedum's private recruitment, Zhao Hui deposed Zhang Cheng from all military positions and asked Zhang Cheng to return to Beidi County for reflection. From Zhang Cheng's departure so happily, Zhao Hui could see that Zhang Cheng felt a little aggrieved in his heart. And at this time, Zhao Jingyu gave Zhang Cheng this hand, will Zhang Cheng's loyalty to himself not waver? Zhao Hui had no confidence in his heart.

And the latter holy decree is obviously that my father asked my eldest brother to pick peaches, lay down Cangzhou Yanzhou, and make great contributions, and in the future, he will have the capital to compete for the throne with himself!

Thinking of this, he snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't take his big brother in his eyes at all, why should he fight with himself? It was Zhao Hui who laid down this country for the Zhao family. It is also him Zhao Hui who has made great contributions to the Zhao family, how can he Zhao Jingyu be able to compete with him for the throne? Even if the eldest brother is allowed to fight Cangzhou now, with his military talent, he will be able to succeed without assistance?

However, his father just prefers his eldest brother. When the time comes, my father will definitely do his best to assist the eldest brother to conquer Cangzhou and Yanzhou. Hum! What if you have a father, if your father is sorry for yourself, then don't blame yourself for being sorry for others.

Li Weize, who was dressed in cloth, handed the letter in his hand to Li Muyuan, sighed and said, "As you expected, Liu Dan was defeated. Defeated. Liu is finished, then the next thing must be Cangyan Erzhou. I, Wuzhou and Chizhou, will not be spared. The general trend is gone"

Li Muyuan actually knew that there would be such a result, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "What are the plans of the father?" ”

"Hey. My father is also very distressed. If we start a war with the Zhao clan, then it will inevitably be the common people who will suffer. My Li family has gone through three generations, and the world that has been painstakingly managed will be in vain. At that time, Wuzhou Chizhou will be filled with gunsmoke, and in the final end, we will still end in failure. If we don't fight, then our results will not be much better. Being a father is also a dilemma! Li Weize patted the chair, stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the door and looked at the gray-white sky unique to the south, today's weather seems to be very bad, foggy weather, giving people a very depressing feeling.

Li Muyuan took two steps, came behind his father, and said, "Father, if you are afraid that the people of Wuzhou will be involved in the war, and you are not willing to surrender to the imperial court so easily, then your son has an idea. ”

Li Weize hurriedly turned around, looked at his son, and asked, "Oh? Is it? What's the idea? ”

"From the perspective of his son, Zhao Jun has just won over Liu Jun, and he will inevitably wave his army to the south in the fastest time. At the same time, the first thing the Zhao army wanted to attack was inevitably Cangzhou. Only in this way can the Zhao army separate us from Yanzhou and break them one by one. After eating Cangzhou, the Zhao army will inevitably turn around and continue to attack Yanzhou. In this way, most of the territory of the Great Qian Empire was unified. When the Zhao army is ready, it will inevitably rest for a few years, strengthen the troops, rectify the rule of officials, and when everything is mature, the Zhao army will once again wave its army to the south and unify the world in one fell swoop! At that point, we're going to be able to make a difference. Even powerless. Li Muyuan spoke eloquently, and his analysis was methodical and convincing. Li Weize thought so. He nodded, and then asked, "Then what do you think we should do now?" ”

"In the past, when a weak country dealt with the encroachment of a strong country, there was a theory of combining vertical and horizontal lines. Therefore, it is imperative that we unite Cangzhou, Yanzhou, and even Runzhou. Form a strategic alliance to deal with the Zhao clan together. This time, we can use Cangzhou as the main battlefield, and the war will inevitably poison Wuzhou, and there will be a moat on the Lancang River as a barrier, which is also conducive to our army's fighting! Only when we win the Zhao family will we have the capital to negotiate with it! Li Muyuan said.

"Then will they agree to unite? In the past ten years, the alliance has ended in failure! Li Weize thought of the union and division between each other in the past ten years, and he became worried.

"Father, you think, the past few times, it's because the Zhao clan has not been as strong as it is now. In the past, there were disputes in the world, and each family was for their own selfish interests, but the bustle of the world was all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world was for profit. If the union is favorable, it will be combined, and if the union is unfavorable, it will be divided. This has been the case since ancient times. But the father does not need to worry, the son dares to guarantee that this union, at least until the end of the war, will not break. Er Yuan personally went to Cangyanrun Sanzhou to persuade them to send troops together to resist the Zhao army. Li Muyuan said with confidence.

Li Weize clapped his hands and decided: "Since this is the case, then you have full authority to make the decision on this matter and handle this matter well." ”

"Okay, don't worry, father!" Li Muyuan nodded in agreement.
