At this moment, Utkin is not thinking about how much to enter the Celestial Empire and whether it will endanger the security of his own territory. At present, the danger of the sea bubble is solved, and the others are floating clouds.

Both of them had sincere expressions and eager expressions, which were seen in Li Ru's eyes, and he said in his heart: "You still want to come and pinch me, see that I don't play you to death." ”

He pretended to be very helpless, but in fact, he had already begun to think about what to ask for in his heart.

Li Ru did not refuse, which made Utkin see hope, in order to show his sincerity, he said: "Li Junshi, you see if you can do this, anyway, your emperor led the army and did not leave Goryeo, so let them help us first, I think as long as you are willing to gather the army in one place, Peter's problem should not be difficult to solve." And after waiting for the matter here to be determined, your emperor is bringing the army back to China to quell the chaos, and it won't take long to think about it, of course, for the army that comes to support, we will give the best treatment, and if you need anything, just say it, I will do my best to fight for it. ”

"This... To tell the truth, it has not been long since the establishment of our Celestial Empire, and the treasury has long been empty after the perennial war, if you are willing to pay the price, I think you can still discuss it with our emperor. Li Ru also knows that if you are too careful, it is easy to make things self-defeating.

Li Ru expressed the attitude of the emptiness of the treasury of the Celestial Empire, which made Utkin see hope, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, as long as Li Junshi can persuade your emperor to come to help us first, the matter of treatment is easy to discuss, and everything will be handled by me." ”

"Well, even if Lord Wu is so sincere, I, Li Ru, will definitely do my best. In this case, I will go back and write now, but I also ask Lord Wu to tell me first, what kind of benefits can I promise to the army, and you know, if there is nothing real, I can't convince the emperor. Li Ru also changed his attitude, a picture of if you give benefits, I will do my best.

At this time, Utkin naturally did not hide anything, and verbally said a lot of benefits at the moment, such as doubling the payment of military rations and ordnance, and it was about to face winter, and the temperature in the winter of the Rus country was extremely low, so he was willing to take out a million sets of cotton clothes to supply the army of the Celestial Empire, and even said on the spot that he would let General Matvey go to the treasury of Hybolan and take out half of the gold and silver stored there to give it to Li Ru, all of which would be used as military funds for the army of the Celestial Empire.

In the face of Utkin's boldness, Li Ru accepted them one by one politely, and then said that with these promises, he was eighty percent sure that he would move Emperor Zhang Chao to come to the aid of the Rus' country.

Li Ru left, and left with General Matvey, who was also anxious, and headed for the treasury of the city. Leaving Utkin alone, he began to write a recital to ask the second prince for help.

In the process of writing the book, there was a thought that flashed through Utkin's mind, that is, could it be that all this was a trap, that there was no civil strife in the Celestial Empire at all, and everything was Li Ru's lion's mouth?

It's just that the idea is only fleeting. The current situation is that Hybolan is in danger, even if he knows that the other party is playing tricks, all he has to do now is to cooperate. That being the case, why think too much about it?

Li Ru took half of the money from the treasury as he wished, and also took all the cotton clothes used here for the New Year, and then patted his chest and assured General Matvey that he would do his best in the next thing.

......

Goryeo border.

At this time, Goryeo was far from being comparable to the previous Goguryeo, and now their territory included the land of the original Fuyu and Julou, and the territory alone was more than double that of the pre-scripture period. In this way, General Cho Yun, who was the new king of Goryeo, also became a hero of the country.

Although it is said that Goryeo is now under the control of the Celestial Empire, after all, the land area has expanded, and with the land, the living standards of the people have also improved. As conditions in all respects are getting better and better, it is clear that few people are paying attention to the question of which country they belong to.

In addition to Zhao Yun's careful management, the measures of clear rewards and punishments in his territory, giving full benefits to friends, decisively killing enemies, killing a group of stubborn love high-spirits, and greatly extinguishing the emotions of those reactionary 0 movers, for a time Goryeo was peaceful in the territory, and a picture of prosperity.

Zhang Chao came to Goryeo with a large army, and also launched a series of investigations here, although there are still some dissatisfactions, but on the whole it is still very good, which makes him have a greater understanding of Zhao Yun's ability, especially when he knows that this person has always been loyal to the Celestial Empire, and has never been soft on some anti-Celestial Empire people, Zhang Chao is even more satisfied.

Speaking of which, this is also Zhao Yun's cleverness.

Zhao Yun's own ability is good, he can be literate and martial, and his loyalty is unparalleled, which is also the reason why he can get ahead. But no matter what, if there is no Zhang Chao's appreciation, he will at most become a legion commander who can fight and kill, and if he really wants to become the king of a land, he can't do it at all.

It can be said that Zhao Yun has today, and everything he has now is given by Zhang Chao. If he can give it, he can take it back. It is precisely because of knowing this truth that the old continent Fei, who is a member of Tianyan, that is, Zhao Yun's wife, has written to him more than once to warn him that he must be loyal to the emperor, otherwise everything he has today may soon be lost.

As the boss of Tianyan, Lu Fei is one of the people Zhang Chao trusts very much, and he is also the person who stands at the core of power. It was precisely because she knew too much about the Celestial Empire that she understood the power and terrifyingness of this state machine. Don't look at Zhao Yun as a first-class general, and the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army with 800,000 troops, and also the title of King of Goryeo, but when it comes to all this, it is not entirely his own, it can be taken back if the emperor Zhang Chao wants to take it back.

Perhaps, in the process of recovery, there will be some troubles in the middle, but Lu Fei is sure that the final result will definitely be Emperor Zhang Chao's victory. This can be seen from the fact that no one is his opponent from the Celestial Empire from scratch to today.

Even Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others are not Zhang Chao's opponents, and Lu Fei doesn't believe that her husband Zhao Yun will be an opponent.

Fortunately, he doesn't need Lu Fei's warning, and Zhao Yun is not a person with a backbone, he has always remembered that everything today is given by Zhang Chao, and the only thing he can do is to be loyal to himself. In such a good attitude, Zhao Yun did not cultivate his own forces, and everything he did was made public, so that anyone could see it if he wanted to, and because he did so, although Zhao Yun's power seemed monstrous, there was really no one in the court against him.

Zhao Yun's position was stable, which allowed him to devote more energy to dealing with Goryeo's problems. Under such a good cycle, Goryeo's economy is getting better and better day by day, this time Zhang Chao came here with a large army, and everything about food, shelter and transportation was covered by Goryeo, which greatly reduced the burden of Jinyang City.

Zhang Chao, who has been here for nearly a month, knows very well the burden that the army is stationed here and brings to Goryeo, but from beginning to end, Zhao Yun has not said a single difficult word, which makes him appreciate it more and more.

A person's ability is not the most valuable, what is valuable is the ability not to be arrogant, and still able to work hard, this quality is an example for everyone to learn.

was very satisfied with Zhao Yun, and Zhang Chao had nothing to do with this person to discuss matters in his account.

can contact Zhang Chao more and bring the relationship between the two parties closer, which is also what Zhao Yun wants. For this reason, he must arrive every time he is called, and slowly through the chat between the two, Zhang Chao has a deeper understanding of the situation in Gaoli.

And from the chat, Zhang Chao even knew some of Zhao Yun's preparations for the conquest of the Rus Kingdom.

Since the last time, Zhang Chao personally conquered Rus, and won the victory and retreated, Zhao Yun knew that a battle with Rus' was a matter of time, so he began to prepare for this very early, especially in terms of military resources. For example, knowing that Ross was cold, he arranged for someone to start ordering cotton clothes very early, and all of this did not ask Jinyang City for a copper plate.

Now, under Zhao Yun's years of preparation, the cotton clothes worn by the soldiers have been prepared for three million sets, this number has greatly shocked Zhang Chao, even if he knows that Zhao Yun is prepared, but he is still a little surprised that he is so well prepared.

"Zilong, you've worked hard, these things you prepared must have cost a lot of money, presumably you must have done it by saving food and using it, right?" Zhang Chao felt it, stepped down from the dragon seat, came to Zhao Yun, and then asked with his hand sincerely.

Zhao Yun felt the excitement in Zhang Chao's heart, his face turned a little red, he wanted to say that all this was what he should do, but the military master Fa Zheng, who followed him this time, interjected: "Back to the emperor, in order to prepare for war, Captain Zhao has not made new clothes for a long time, and when he is usually at home, there are patches on the clothes he wears." Because of the reason that the Zhao Legion took the lead, the generals and officials of the entire Dragon and Tiger Legion are proud of their simplicity, except for the official clothes worn on official occasions, almost all of them have been dressed with patched old clothes, if the emperor does not believe it, you can take a look at the underwear of the Zhao Legion now, I dare to guarantee that there must be patches. ”

"Strategist." Hearing that Fa Zheng suddenly revealed his old bottom, Zhao Yun's face turned red, and then he pounced and half-knelt on the ground and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

"What a sin." Zhang Chao, who was about to go to see if there was a patch on Zhao Yun's underwear, looked puzzled when he heard this.
