When Ji Qingchen came to the study, Wei Huang was drinking tea, but he seemed a little absent-minded. When he saw Ji Qingchen, he immediately saluted.

"Brother Wei doesn't need to be polite, please sit down and drink tea!" Ji Qingchen said.

"Your Highness!" Wei Huang said, then took a sip of the teacup, and was about to speak, when he heard Ji Qingchen ask, "You are from King's Landing City, right?" Father, emperor and mother, everything is okay? ”

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty and Niangniang's body are fine." Wei Huang replied respectfully, paused, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Ji Qingchen again, "Is there anything new in Yizhou?" ”

"It's just like that, the army of the Lingnan Yi clan is still besieging Yizhou City, and it is in a stalemate with the army in the city, but it has not taken advantage, and now no one can help anyone." Wei Huang said, and was about to speak again, but he heard Ji Qingchen continue to ask, "Well, I am tired of traveling and riding for my brother all the way, this king sees that you will rest in the mansion for a day today, and we will talk about anything tomorrow." ”

"Your Highness, Wei Huang is not tired-" Wei Huang was about to cry, he knew that Dao Ji Qingchen was deliberately playing with him, so he immediately said, "Wei Huang still has important matters to discuss with His Highness, and please give Wei Huang a little time." ”

"Brother Wei, look at this, the Beirong army is pressing, and this king is busy with military affairs, this is indeed something!" Ji Qingchen said aggrievedly, but seeing Wei Huang's hurried appearance, his heart was overjoyed.

"Your Highness, Wei Huang really has an urgent matter to discuss with you, and I ask Your Highness to give Wei Huang a moment, and Wei Huang will leave as soon as he finishes speaking." Wei Huang cried and said, he really almost collapsed, he rushed all the way from King's Landing to Caozhou this time, wasn't it just for Ji Zhao's business? If you don't tell Ji Qingchen right now, when the war begins, if Ji Zhao wants to take credit, it is estimated that he will also be an orc.

"Grace ——?" Ji Qingchen said very embarrassed, "In this way, if Brother Wei is not too troublesome, let's go to the military camp with this king, what do you say on the way, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, just listen to Your Highness." Wei Huang immediately agreed, because he was afraid that Ji Qingchen would regret it again.

Immediately, the two left the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Wei Huang thought that along the way, he would be able to tell Ji Qingchen about Ji Zhao. But what he didn't expect was that Ji Qingchen went to the barracks on a horse instead of a car, which made him sit in the car and swayed out of the city. After walking for about half a pillar of incense, the two came to the military camp outside the city, and walked side by side in the camp, Wei Huang had a chance to speak, "Your Highness, Wei Huang came to you this time for Wang Jizhao of Huaide County——"

"What, has he come up with any new ways to frame this king?" Before Wei Huang could finish speaking, Ji Qingchen, who was inspecting the camp, stopped his steps and suddenly asked.

"This-" Ji Qingchen's words choked Wei Huang, making Wei Huang come back to his senses for a long time and hurriedly said, "No, no, His Highness misunderstood, Wei Huang came to tell His Highness this time, can you let the King of Huaide County go to Caozhou to supervise the army?" ”

"You want Ji Zhao to make some military merit in Caozhou, right?" Ji Qingchen smiled, and said a word that broke Wei Huang's careful thoughts.

"Uh-" Wei Huang didn't expect Ji Qingchen to say so directly to break his mind, he was a little embarrassed and stunned on the spot, and only nodded halfway, "Even if it's it!" ”

At this time, when he talked to Ji Qingchen, he had already made an attitude of resignation, because Ji Qingchen hit him too hard, and he said everything in front of him, which made him feel a little helpless.

"Is that your idea? Or was it the idea of the crown princess? Or is it that Ji Zhao himself has always come to Caozhou? Ji Qingchen asked, this time he looked very serious when he asked.

"This is what I mean, but the crown princess also thinks so, and she has already written a recital for the king of Huaide County to think of the Caozhou prison army to His Majesty, it is estimated that at this time, His Majesty wants to know what you mean most." Wei Huang didn't lie to Ji Qingchen, because he knew that he shouldn't tell this lie, and it was estimated that this deal would fall through.

"Brother Wei, you must also know that the 60,000 cavalry of Beirong have entered Shangzhou, and the foundation of your Wei clan is in Shangzhou, you rushed all the way from King's Landing to Caozhou this time, not to let this king send troops to Shangzhou, but for Ji Zhao, which surprised this king." Ji Qingchen said in a serious tone, "However, if you want Ji Zhao to make a contribution in this war, this is equivalent to sharing a share of the military merits of the generals under this king, do you think this king will agree?" ”

For Ji Qingchen to say that if Ji Zhao makes meritorious service, he will share the credit of his subordinates, and Wei Huang can understand this.

Because if a general leads the troops to fight alone, he will get a lot of military merits, but with a prince by his side as a supervisor, he will win, and this military merit will also be divided between two people. This is something that no bloody general would want. After all, this military feats were spelled out by him with his head.

"This Wei Huang knows the Dao, so our Wei clan will repay and thank His Highness." Wei Huang said a little apprehensively.

"Brother Wei, you see, this is the military camp of the Black Eagle Cavalry, they have excellent war horses, excellent swords and armor, and abundant supplies and grain and grass." Ji Qingchen said, and then pointed to a mountain not far away and said, "Look, there is the camp of the Long Xiang Cavalry, their equipment is the same as the Black Eagle Cavalry, the war horses, swords and armor are all first-class in Dayan, and there is no shortage of food and grass, and the materials are abundant, what do you say this king lacks now?" ”

"This-" Wei Huang suddenly understood what Ji Qingchen meant by bringing him to the barracks, and now he realized that it turned out that Ji Qingchen had penetrated his mind one step earlier, so he would wait for him to come to the barracks, just to tell him that the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion lacked nothing! However, Wei Huang still opened his mouth and said, "As long as His Highness agrees to give Ji Zhao a little military merit this time, the Wei family will definitely thank His Highness again?" ”

"Brother Wei, what you Wei has now has this king, and what you Wei doesn't have is still this king, tell me, what is still missing in this king now?" Ji Qingchen asked Wei Huang again, a playful smile on his face.

"This, Wei Huang doesn't know what to say, and I ask His Highness to make it clear." Wei Huang was a little deflated, he originally thought that relying on Wei's wealth, he would let Ji Qingchen agree to his request, but he didn't expect that Ji Qingchen didn't bird Wei's wealth at all, which made him fall into passivity.

"It's power!" Ji Qingchen said with a smile.

"Power?" Wei Huang was at a loss, as the king of Northern Liao, the only few princes of Dayan, and the governor of the capital with an army of 300,000 and dominating the surrounding areas, would he still lack power?

"Yes, power. Do you think this king doesn't know what Ji Zhao needs this credit for? Since Ji Zhao has such ambitions, doesn't this king have them? Ji Qingchen smiled, "Brother Wei, did you say it?" ”

"Yes." Wei Huang nodded Muran. He wanted to work harder, but after this conversation with Ji Qingchen, he has now completely lost the confidence to make a deal with Ji Qingchen again. Because he knows very well that if a person wants power, he can only exchange it for merit, and now that Ji Qingchen has told him this, even if he is an expression, he also needs to exchange military merit for the power he wants, and he doesn't want to give it to Ji Zhao.

"Thank you Your Highness for saying so much to Wei Huang today, since Your Highness said so, Wei Huang will not disturb Your Highness, we will have time to talk another day." Wei Huang said in frustration, because he heard the meaning of refusal from Ji Qingchen's words, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Ji Qingchen say again, "This king has a proposal, but I don't know if the Wei clan of Shangzhou will agree, as long as you agree, this king can give a little credit to Ji Zhao." ”

"What proposal? Your Highness, please speak. Wei Huang, who had already lost hope, suddenly heard Ji Qingchen's words, just like a traveler in the desert meeting Ganquan, his whole body was comfortable and transparent, and he immediately turned around and asked eagerly.

"Beirong's 60,000 cavalry has already killed Shangzhou, and the king has limited troops, so I'm afraid he can't worry about Shangzhou. So what this king means is that this time this king is not going to send reinforcements to Shangzhou, but to send a few generals to Shangzhou, and your Wei family will provide soldiers and war horses, weapons and armor, etc., so that they can form a cavalry with about 100,000 people, and when Ji Zhao comes to Caozhou to supervise the army, let him go to Shangzhou, if this army can defeat the 60,000 cavalry of Beirong in Shangzhou, then this king can share half of this credit, what do you think? Ji Qingchen said lightly.

"No problem!" Wei Huang agreed without even thinking about it.

"Brother Wei, don't worry, this king still has a few additional conditions that he hasn't said." Ji Qingchen said with a smile.

"Your Highness, please speak." Wei Huang said that if he could make Ji Zhao make a little military merit, the Wei clan was already ready to hemorrhage, and since he had promised to help Ji Qingchen form 100,000 cavalry, they would naturally not show stinginess in these small aspects.

"There is a heavy cavalry in Caozhou City, the number is about 20,000, and there are 30,000 heavy infantry, and their weapons and equipment will cost forty percent of the money and food of the 300,000 army of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, even if this king is rich, but if he wants to fight with Beirong, such a big cost is probably not enough for the king himself!" Ji Qingchen said, but before he finished speaking, he heard Wei Huang say, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Wei clan is willing to provide 20,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 heavy infantry to all the silver and food consumed in the Beirong War." Seeing that Ji Qingchen didn't speak, Wei Huang continued, "I am also willing to provide money and food for another three years for Beirong's 300,000 army." ”

"Food is exempt, you can directly exchange supplies and food for silver!" Ji Qingchen said, saying it very simply.

"No problem." Wei Huang agreed fiercely, but his heart was already bleeding, because the difference between food and silver is very big, let Wei take out the food and materials needed for three years for the army of 300,000 at one time, this will not make Wei hurt his muscles and bones, but to let Wei take out so much silver at one time, it is indeed a little blood for Wei. After all, the main currency in circulation in Dayan is copper coins, but silver is worth a little more and is the hard currency in Dayan's market.

"Brother Wei is refreshing." Ji Qingchen said with a smile, "Since your Wei clan has agreed to the conditions of this king, then let Ji Zhao come to Caozhou!" As for when he will go to Shangzhou, you will have to watch it yourself, but when Ji Zhao arrives in Caozhou City, his safety is naturally responsible for this king, but when he leaves Caozhou City, this king will no longer be responsible for his safety, is this difficult for your Wei family? ”

"The security of the King of Huaide County will be arranged by the Wei Clan, and it will not bother His Highness." Wei Huang said, paused, and asked Ji Qingchen again, "It's just about silver, is it sent to Caozhou City?" Or do you want to send it back to King's Landing? ”

"Just send Yicheng to Caozhou! All the rest will be sent back to King's Landing and handed over to Zhang Rang. Ji Qingchen said, but his next words shocked Wei Huang, "This amount of silver should probably be enough to reward the soldiers after this big victory over Beirong, right?" ”

"I wonder when His Highness Lu Dao will send a general to Shangzhou?" Wei Huang immediately stabilized his heart and lungs, which were really hurt by Ji Qingchen's words, and asked.

"If you can, I'm going to send someone over tonight!" Ji Qingchen said, "The big war is coming, time is pressing, and we can't waste it on the road." ”

"Since this is the case, Wei Huang will leave, and he will immediately return to Beijing to prepare for the king of Huaide County to come to Caozhou." Wei Huang said, seeing Ji Qingchen nodding slightly, he strode out of the barracks.

After Wei Huang left the barracks, Ji Qingchen, who was walking three steps in the barracks, said to the guards beside him, "You go and send a message to Meng Li, just say that this king is waiting for him in Shuaizhang, and there is something to discuss with him, by the way, let Cao Yukun, Zhou Shun, and Lin Ping come to the big tent to see this king!" ”

"No!" The guards were ordered to stride away.
