The winter snow has melted.

On the side of the Yongji Canal, the teenager went green, shooting willows for the play, and the road was full of lightly armed horseback dancing teenagers.

Youjing is close to the north, and in recent years, it has been with the Hu people for a long time, and the folk customs are more open, and the women's clothes are all Mi Luo, who is not covering their faces, and directly and generously shows their faces.

And the proportion of orchids in Youjing City is also extremely high, because orchids are beautiful, and they don't cost a lot of money like marrying a Han woman.

Therefore, there are more and more marriages between Hu Ji and Han in Youjing, and intermarriage between Hu and Han has become common.

In the palace of Yukyo.

There are hundreds of officials standing in the main hall, these are all important ministers of Da Zhao, there are not many white-haired old ministers, but also newly promoted young ministers, in addition to Han Chen, there are many more than a dozen courtiers from a barbarian background.

Such as Tuli, Ashina Momo, etc., in addition to the Turks, they belong to the most Xi people, they all graduated from Chang'an Guozi Jian Lili, and then were directly awarded the official award, in addition to the Xi people, there are Khitan, Ding Ling officials of the various departments.

Although the hall was full of people, none of the officials dared to speak.

In the main hall, Li Chongjiu, dressed in a dragon robe, sat and carefully looked at the battle reports sent from all directions. Li Chongjiu just sat casually, but the ministers in front of him didn't dare to make a mistake, and they all stood straight.

Many young officials even oozed sweat from their foreheads.

It's not that Li Chongjiu has intentions, it's just that the power of the world gathers one person, and under such imperial authority, people can't help but be in awe.

Now Li Chongjiu learned that Li Jiancheng went to the Hot Spring Palace to ask Li Yuan for his guilt because of Yang Wengan's rebellion. Cao Wen sent this matter to Li Chongjiu, and said that Li Tang was likely to have a big turmoil.

After reading Cao Wen's letter, Li Chongjiu made a decision. He ordered Wen Yanbo and the others: "Spread my will, and order to lead the Taiyuan soldiers from Su Su, who is stationed in Taiyuan. Launched an attack to the east of the river. At the same time, he also ordered Liang Shidu and Xue Wanjun. Zhang Changxun led the Han army, as well as the allied forces of the party and Jihu departments, to attack Duan Decao and cooperate with Su Su's troops. ”

"Xu Shiji, who was stationed in Luoyang, Shan Xiongxin was attacking Henan, not only to subdue the lost territory, but also to test Li Tang's hypocrisy, Li Jing is a famous general. Don't be underestimated. ”

"In addition, Wang Mahan led 20,000 horses and led the army south from Yongji Canal, and after reaching Liyang, he attacked Hanoi! Li Shentong's incompetent general is bound to capture him alive. ”

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Ji Chuan stepped forward on the side and said: "Your Majesty, we have just defeated the Turks, and our vitality has not recovered, and we have fought a series of battles last year. The soldiers are all very tired, and now that things are not ready, they suddenly attack Li Tang, I am afraid that there is no chance of victory. ”

Lin Dangfeng also said: "Yes." His Majesty, with the current treasury, as well as grain and grass reserves. It is safe to delay the march of troops for at least another half a year, and the grassland has not yet been truly pacified. Goguryeo Eulji Wendeok rebelled, and the southern Song Jingang fought with Lin Shihong. The winner has not yet been decided, and the time is not yet ripe to attack Tang. ”

Li Chongjiu's eyes swept over Ji Chuan, and Lin Dangfeng said: "We can't wait for everything to be ready, and then attack, the fighter plane is fleeting, Yuan Shao had the opportunity to destroy Cao Cao, but he refused to send troops because of his son's illness, and finally lost the world." Now that my soldiers are strong and strong, although their power is better than Li Tang, they dare not be careless. The father and son of the Li family are both dragons among people, and they may not have the power to turn over, now that Li Tang is showing his flaws, I will attack fiercely, even if it is difficult in the country, I will attack Tang! ”

When Li Chongjiu said this, all the ministers showed shocked expressions at the moment. Ji Chuan and Lin Dangfeng didn't dare to object anymore, and said yes together.

"We have more than 100,000 steppe cavalry to help, and now the Western Turks are also falling to us, and Li Tang's heavy troops are stationed in Chang'an, and there will be no spare strength to fight back."

If it is said that before the Turks were pacified, the steppe cavalry of Zhao State had not been able to liberate and fought with Li Tang with one hand, then now it is two hands together.

"Of course, I won't be careless, the situation on the grassland still needs the 100,000 cavalry of the Xi Department to stabilize the dìng, I will let them move in the Hexi area this time, put on a posture of attacking Guanzhong, and then move depending on the opportunity!"

All the ministers are called yes together, and now the Great Zhao is fighting on three sides at the same time, killing the Goguryeo king Gao Baobao in the east of Eulzhi Wendeok, and establishing himself as the emperor, the country is called Liao, and the intention is to oppose Li Chongjiu in the east and west.

Li Chongjiu ordered Yizhi Wende to go to the emperor, but Yizhi Wende refused, and sent troops to garrison the Great Wall for thousands of miles, posing as a posture of fighting to the end.

At the moment, Li Chongjiu ordered Guo Xiaoke, Tudiji, and Liaodong County to guard Zhouzhou, and attack Goguryeo from the north and south, and Guo Xiaoke, the army of the North Road, took the Jin Ya and Khitan cavalry as the vanguard, and directly took the old capital of Goguryeo, while Zhouzhou crossed the Liaoshui and led the people of Liaodong County to besiege Liaodong City.

In addition, Lee Chong-gu also sent a letter of state to Baekje and Silla, asking them to send troops from the south to cooperate in the attack on Goguryeo, Princess Deman, who is now in charge of Silla, and the king of Baekje did not dare to disobey Lee Chong-koo's orders, so they sent a land and water army to attack Pyongyang, and Lee Chong-gu sent the general of the navy Cheng Mingzhen and the governor of the navy Zhao Xin, sent troops from Dengju and led the 10,000 horses of the Great Zhao Naval Division to fight across the sea to cooperate with Silla Baekje and attack Pyongyang.

As soon as the five-way army came out, Goguryeo was shaken, and Eulzhi Wende asked Li Chongjiu to go to the emperor and was willing to be a vassal. Li Chongjiu will whip out of Youjing City in the future, order the army to attack, and directly take the head of Yizhi Wende to meet.

On the other hand, Song Jingang and Xiao Miao's war against Lin Shihong is also continuing.

In February, Xiao Mo led 20,000 Jiangnan naval divisions along the Yangtze River to attack Poyang Lake, the base camp of Lin Shihong's naval army.

On the other hand, Song Jingang led the newly formed Jianghuai elite, with the Jianghuai Army's Double Dragon King Xiongdan and Kan Ling as the vanguard, leading an army of 30,000 troops from Jiangdu to the south to join Xiao Miao.

After Lin Shihong heard the news, he immediately poured the division of Chu State, with his younger brother Lin Yaoshi as the general, and led an army of 30,000 to Poyang Lake to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army.

Lin Shihong knew that if he waited for Song Jingang's main army to arrive, then this battle would be lost without fighting. So Lin Shihong made a desperate bet and led 30,000 horses to take the lead in attacking Xiao Mill.

The two armies fought a bloody battle at Poyang Lake, and Xiao Mo lost three battles in a row in the initial battle, but then stabilized his position and supported until Song Jingang's army arrived. Lin Shihong saw that Song Jingang's army was coming, knowing that he was invincible, he abandoned Jiujiang and left, and the Zhao army captured Jiujiang.

After Song Jingang occupied Jiujiang, the base camp of Lin Shihong, he immediately won the victory to Li Chongjiu, and on the other hand, Wang Xiong was born, and Kan Ling pursued Lin Shihong.

At the same time, Song Jingang ordered Xiao Mo to lead a large army into the Lingnan area, not only to prevent Lin Shihong from fleeing south, but also to show off his force and deter Feng An, the leader of the slang people in the land south of Lingnan.

Now Li Chongjiu decided to take advantage of Li Tang's civil strife to send troops to attack Li Tang, and this three-sided attack really surprised everyone.

But at the same time, everyone also felt the strength of Zhao State, and with the strength of Zhao State, he did have this capital today.

And Li Chongjiu doesn't need to be in person, he just needs to sit in the main hall and strategize thousands of miles away. There are powerful generals on all sides, and they can be trusted.

Li Chongjiu sat on the hall, and the ministers below bowed their heads, and the decrees were issued in the form of holy decrees after being discussed by the ministers one by one.

Although Li Chongjiu is not an arbitrary person, and now is not the beginning of the founding of the country, but when Li Chongjiu's decree was issued, the ministers of Zhao State did not have many doubts, and a number of ministers such as Wei Zheng, Ji Chuan and others have become less and less admonished in the main hall, even if they oppose it, they dare not persuade again after seeing Li Chongjiu's insistence.

The rest of the children of the family, the old ministers of Da Zhao, and even the Taiping Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, are even less.

It's not that they don't dare to speak out, but Li Chongjiu's current merits are too great, since he suppressed the Turks and created this epic martial arts. Li Chongjiu's prestige at the moment is unmatched, and it is a golden law that few people will question.

The ministers were always worried that Li Chongjiu's power was too heavy, and whether he would repeat the mistakes of Yang Guang back then. But in fact, the heavier the imperial power of Great Zhao, the more invincible it is in all aspects of the war.

From the place where the country was founded, the strong centralized power that has been implemented, coupled with the prestige of Li Chongjiu, the imperial power of Great Zhao under this is extremely powerful.

Under the strong imperial power, whether it was the Hebei Shi clan who were arrogant on the cliff bank and looked down on Zhumen, the Hedong Shi clan who was geographically different from the Hebei Shi clan, the old officials of the court of the previous dynasty, the newly promoted Hanmen officials, the merchant officials who had a lot of commercial resources and information, and even the grassland Hu clan who had always been not in harmony with the Han people, their internal contradictions were suppressed.

Mutual tilting between each other is reduced to a minimum, and under the imperial power, everyone is twisted together, and in the long run, in a few years, ten years, twenty years, new interest groups will be formed, and a set of unspoken rules to be observed together will be implemented.

But before that, only under the strong imperial power could the different factions of the Great Zhao Empire be maintained. Li Chongjiu is still more envious of Li Yuan at this point, because he only needs to handle the relationship between the Guanlong Group on the one hand.

The promulgation of government decrees one by one, with a few random words, can change the fate of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people.

Everyone is accustomed to it, and this vast Great Zhao Empire is dominated by this hall.

At night, the lights were lit, and most of the officials had dispersed, but there were still more than a dozen officials who told Li Chongjiu about the matter.

And the officials on duty in the province of His Royal Highness will send one battle report after another from the outside at any time. There was a queue outside the hall again, and the officials held the folds in their hands and waited to meet Li Chongjiu.

This was also Li Chongjiu's decision, since the beginning of the war, he deprived the Zhongshu provincial vote draft, everything about the war situation, no matter how big or small, was presented to himself and personally corrected.

In this way, the workload of the officials of Zhongshu Province has increased tenfold, and Li Chongjiu's workload has also been greatly improved, but Li Chongjiu is still full of spirit until now, which makes people can't help but admire. (To be continued......)
