The next morning, in order not to delay such a precious morning dynasty today, Xiao Chen had no choice but to let his four loyal guards find a gorgeous shelf and carry him to the consultation hall. There's really no way to do it, I was miserable by Mrs. Min yesterday.

When I came to the main hall, the big guys were already staying by the fire inside. Don't look at the Spring Festival now, but the cold weather has not diminished at all. The originally empty hall was even more cold and abnormal, because of the low temperature of the hall, Li Ming and Wu Feng, the important ministers of the court two days ago, were frozen to death, and now they can't go to the court.

Therefore, Prime Minister Xun Yu took into account the bodies of the few older figures who still existed in the court. I had to add dozens of more stoves in the main hall, so that there was a little warm feeling in the main hall.

But Xiao Chen doesn't think so!

As soon as he walked into the main hall, the smell of heavy coal burning almost made Xiao Chen faint. Then he took a closer look, and Xiao Chen was suddenly full of black lines.

Nema, there are dozens of burning charcoal stoves, and the doors and windows of the main hall are still tightly closed. I'm going to go, are you guys playing chronic suicide collectively again? I know you're cold, but you don't mess around like this, it's really scary to be uneducated!

"Quick! Open all the doors and windows! Move all the stoves out again! Xiao Chen covered his mouth and nose and said hurriedly.

Xun Yu was puzzled at the time, and asked suspiciously: "King, the temperature in this hall is really cold." With these stoves, everyone can take off the heat, so why should the king remove it when he comes? ”

Xiao Chen patted his head speechlessly, alas, this king is just for you! I had to think patiently and said: "These furnaces are all coal, and they emit harmful gases when they burn. ”

"King, what is a harmful gas, could it be that gas is a poison?"

What else can ...... say!

"It's just that they emit odorless and colorless poisonous gases, and if they can't run out of the doors and windows for a long time, they will poison everyone! Do you understand this? ”

"Hiss~ King! Weichen is guilty, and he almost harmed the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty because of this furnace, and he asked the king to punish him! Xun Yu listened to Xiao Chen's words, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he was even more glad that his boss came back in time.

"Hehe, it's not the Prime Minister's fault this time. After all, the Prime Minister's original intention was also to keep everyone warm, and he did it for everyone! ”

"That's right! I'd like to thank the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has set up so many stoves for everyone's warmth. As for the fact that the stove is poisonous, the Prime Minister didn't know it at first. ”

After Xiao Chen exonerated Xun Yu, the officials in the hall immediately began to agree. Rest assured, they definitely don't mean it.

This group of old guys who are mixed in the officialdom haven't seen themselves excusing Xun Yu and know that Prime Minister Xun is fine. That's all right!

"Now that the stove is gone, it's really cold for the big guy to stay in this hall. In this case, after this morning, if you have anything to do in the future, you can just write an excerpt and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xiao Chen looked at the shivering officials in the hall, and could only say helplessly.

It's really too cold to stay in this hall, and you must know that there are no down jackets in this world. There are a lot of thick leather coats, but it's still cold when you wear less of it, and it's too heavy when you wear it more. It seems that the decision I made just now is very good, all the affairs have been solved by Xun Yu, and I can stay warm in the bed. Wow Ka Ka... As for Xun Yu, after listening to his own king's sentence, he asked directly: "King, if this is the case, if there is any major matter, Weichen will not be able to make the decision!" ”

"It's simple, you can come to the king's study for big things, let's sum it up together!"

"No!" Xun Yu replied with a dark face. This king is so lazy that he actually throws the affairs of the whole country to himself on such a cold day. Originally, I planned to marry two concubines to Nuan Nuan's bed, but now it seems impossible.

Due to the cold weather, this morning pilgrimage ended quickly. Because everyone had nothing to do, even the biggest rebel army was all thrown to Xun Yu by Xiao Chen with a word. I'm really too lazy to listen, if I listen to those officials talk about this, I guess I would have frozen into a popsicle a long time ago.

After the end of the early dynasty, Xun Yu came directly to Xiao Chen's study. At this moment, Xiao Chen naturally knew that Xun Yu must have something big to find him.

So, the two of them hid in the study together and started a small meeting.

"King Qiqi, you have made me miserable this time!" Xun Yu said with a wry smile.

Xiao Chen was puzzled on the spot, didn't he just throw all the affairs of the whole country to you, and he wouldn't do it earlier. Why did I make you miserable? How do you say that?

"Wen Ruo, how do you say this! Didn't you handle the national government affairs by yourself before, and now it's almost the same as before! ”

"Well, my lord, you can't forget the 120,000 Jingrui army you brought back!" Xun Yu reminded Xiao Chen.

Well, Xiao Chen now knows what's going on.

"Ahem, it's indeed an elite army of 120,000, veterans who have experienced countless battle formations!"

"Then since it's an elite, why is it still good to only have armor, how did those excellent weapons in the past turn into wooden sticks?" Xun Yu said with a dark face.

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Xiao Chen was also embarrassed. After all, all the weapons of the 120,000 army were burned by themselves in one go, which is indeed not a glorious thing. Come to think of it, in ancient wars, the most feared thing was that the enemy army secretly burned their own supplies. But it's good to yourself, the enemy didn't come to burn it, but he burned most of it!

Xiao Chen said embarrassedly: "Wen Ruo, listen to me, this time it was indeed an accident!" It's true! Even if this king doesn't understand military affairs, he won't deliberately burn his own things! ”

Xun Yu saw Xiao Chen's expression, and his face suddenly laughed. Then he said: "Haha, the king, of course Weichen knows. It's just that if you want to arm these 120,000 troops, the Changge sword and shield stored in the treasury may be exhausted at once. As a result, the 20,000 troops who are now about to complete their training will have no weapons to use! ”

"No, it won't! What about the ordnance of our treasury! With this long period of savings, I can arm an army of 200,000 people! How could it be that it was no longer available now? Xiao Chen asked in surprise.

Even if many captured weapons were unusable in the past, but now that they have been promoted to the county country, Donglin City alone can create 10,000 Changge and 10,000 ring swords within a month. Coupled with the remaining dozen or so cities, it is impossible to arm an army of 120,000 in nearly half a year.

"Originally, the equipment in the domestic reserve was indeed enough to arm the 200,000 army. However, the westward expeditionary army that took the waterway needed too much ordnance. In the past two months alone, 100,000 people have been transported! Xun Yu said with a frown.

Then he went on to say: "Lin Hu sent a message that his 100,000 horses have now conquered more than ten cities. The original ordnance was already quite damaged, and the ten cities could not meet the needs of the 100,000 army as soon as possible. Moreover, because of the loss of tens of thousands of men and horses in the war, the newly trained 50,000 recruits are still unequipped. Therefore, Wechen transported the inventory of ordnance over. ”

"Isn't it, Li Zhaoliang led an army of 120,000 people, and now he has captured ten cities?" Xiao Chen was even more surprised at this time. Nima, the 180,000 army of labor and management has only taken four cities, and the 120,000 people over there have already taken ten? It's a little too ruthless!

"Oh, this king shouldn't know yet. Lin Hu and their soldiers and horses along the way, the resistance they encountered was really weak. The combined garrison of the ten cities was less than 70,000 horses, so their speed was quite good! ”

"I said, I see. With 70,000 horses, divided into ten cities and garrisoned, it is indeed not very difficult to take it down! Xiao Chen nodded and said.

"My lord, now that our country can gather 250,000 horses, I don't know who the king plans to let lead the troops to quell the rebellion?" Xun Yu said a word, and turned the matter to the rebel army.

"Leave the matter of counterinsurgency to Zijun! Oh yes, Xun Yu, you also know a little about military affairs, tomorrow you will take the time to discuss how to quell the rebellion. After that, I'll leave it to the two of you, and this king will go on an expedition for a few months, so I have to take a good rest! Xiao Chen said with a smile.

When Xun Yu saw the appearance of his own king, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and said, "King, you don't look like Mingjun!" ”

"Haha, Wen Ruo! If I were like those wise men and deal with political affairs every day, I would have suffocated to death a long time ago. Since you and Zi are here, why should I do everything myself! It's okay to sleep lazy, I'm following Zijun to see the war, hehe, how leisurely! ”

“....”

——————————————————

On the third day of Xiao Chen's return to Donglin City, Wang Ping met with Xun Yu and discussed how to quell the rebellion of 600,000 rebels. In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Ping led an army of 20,000 cavalry to the 150,000 army camp of Ge Ying of Zhang Chu's rebel army!

According to the information that Xiao Chen knew, Wang Ping and Xun Yu planned to use the 20,000 troops they already had to sneak attack the rebel army all the way. Well, let's show off Beichenguo's leg muscles first!

In this way, 20,000 cavalrymen left the city at ten o'clock in the evening. Every day, he went out day and night, and went directly to the location of Ge Ying's 150,000 army.

At this time, Ge Ying was very excited in his heart! 150,000 troops, think about the two of them who followed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then. has been fighting for life and death for several years, and in the end he has never led an army of 150,000 alone. But now, looking at the army of 150,000, the camp stretches for dozens of miles, and the flag covers the sky and the sun!

An army of 150,000 trains every day. Listening to the soldier's loud roar during training, Ge Ying's heart was full of excitement! That momentum, that momentum, don't say anything. With a population of only one million, more than ten cities, and an army of no more than 100,000, Beichen County.

Ge Ying is very confident that he can eliminate the regime surnamed Chen alone, and then play with his own boss. As for the guy, a guy named Hua Rong came to form an alliance with himself before. Ge Ying sneered at this, hmph, he has an army of more than 100,000 people, do you use it to form an alliance with you?

Who are you, labor and management have never heard of it! If you are the overlord of Western Chu, then this commander may consider the matter of forming an alliance. But for now, you think about it first. Besides, why do you make an alliance with you, could it be that after I destroy the founding of the Beichen Kingdom myself, I will still give you some of the cities of your allies?

Oh, this man, what the hell is it? Every day, I know that I don't contribute and take advantage of others.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the countless soldiers below, Ge Ying couldn't help but think about the future. In two days, do you want to build a city to play first, now that the army has been training for many days, it should be able to take it out to fight.

Moreover, according to the report of the spies, in this Annan County of Beichen Kingdom, the defenders of each city are only more than 2,000 people. Except for the battalion with tens of thousands of soldiers, those cities are simply undefended. In this way, I feel a little sorry for myself if I don't take it.

Well, it's decided, tomorrow to attack the city called the Heavenly City.

Luo Cheng led a cavalry team of 20,000 at this moment, staying in a big wood. 20,000 cavalry, each resting or eating. After running all night, there was no torch lighting to keep warm, and everyone was cold and tired.

However, even if it was time to rest now, the army still could not make a fire. For not far away is the wall of the Celestial City, and in the distance is the camp of 150,000 rebels. The task of his brothers was to attack the enemy camp at night tonight.

Thinking of 20,000 horses, go and attack the camp of the 150,000-strong army. Luo Cheng's heart was full of heat, there was no fear, only the boiling blood.

The cold weather, the bone-chilling winter wind, are already immune to themselves at this moment. As long as this night attack is successful, maybe the large amount of money he owes to the king will be reduced by more than half!

And the big soldiers around don't have such lofty ideals. All they thought about was when they would be able to light a fire to keep warm. How cold are the winter nights, and the temperature is all minus 10 degrees Celsius. But even so, everyone was running for two nights in a row.

It is possible to rest only during the day, but even in broad daylight, the army cannot make a fire to cook. I can only gnaw some dry food with blood and water to comfort my stomach. However, without hot food, even the strong will not be able to stand it. At least, of the 20,000-strong cavalry contingent now, more than 300 have fainted and fallen behind.

Hey, I hope tonight can be over as soon as possible. After that, the big guy will be able to have a good rest.
