When Concubine Zhen thought of being martyred, her hairs stood on end, she was in a cold sweat, she hugged the prince tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "They ...... Are they really going to let Hongu be buried? ”

Yun Xi smiled, and suddenly fell down in front of Zhen Guifei: "Don't worry, Concubine Weichen has already led the elite soldiers of King Xue Tianwang a few miles away in Lanjing City, and he will be able to keep the prince safe." As long as the concubine gives an order, Weichen will personally go to the army of Li's relatives to relieve the army of Lanjing City for the prince. As soon as the soldiers are eliminated, the crown prince can sit back and relax on the throne, and the glory and wealth of the concubine can also be enjoyed. Wechen doesn't ask for much, he can do his best to assist the prince by his side, and help the prince become a generation of Mingjun, Wechen has fulfilled his wishes, and he no longer dares to have any wishful thinking. If the concubine doesn't believe it, Weichen is willing to swear a blood oath. ”

Yun Xi took out the short sword from the knife and axe hand, cut his fingers, and then threw away the short sword, bowed down in front of Zhen Guifei, and bowed his head and said sincerely: "Swear to protect my emperor, do not have a different heart, if you have a different heart, you will die in a short turn." ”

After a long time, Concubine Zhen said, "Since you say so...... That's it. As long as you don't rebel and protect my Shen'er to ascend the throne, I am willing to bring the Zhen family to nominate you as the regent. ”

Yunxi bowed his head deeply: "Weichen obeys the order." also asked the concubine to give Weichen a token, so that the minister could go out of the city to persuade the Li family's relatives. ”

The concubine thought for a while, took off a gold bracelet from the prince's hand, and gave it to Yunxi: "For things outside the city, there will be General Lao." ”

Yunxi took the bracelet, turned around and walked out of the main hall. Chai Song and Li Li waited outside for a long time, and as soon as they saw Yunxi going out, they immediately greeted them: "What did the concubine say?" ”

"The concubine has agreed to make me the regent." Yun Xi said in a deep voice, "Let's rush to the outside of Lanjing City now, and meet the Li family's relatives for a while." ”

Chai Song Li Li didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Yunxi all the way to the outside of Lanjing City.

Dawn. A few miles outside Lanjing City, thousands of troops were camped in a valley, far away from Lanjing City. In the strong wind, the military flag of the Nanwang camp was waved in the air.

The leader of the Li family's relatives, Li Rao, the king of the south, was in the big tent and his subordinates to check the map of Lanjing City. Suddenly, someone came to report that Xiao Yunxi led someone to ask to see him.

As soon as Li Rao heard Xiao Yunxi's name, he immediately became angry: "This king hasn't looked for him yet, he came to find this king first!" Call him in! ”

Not long after, Yun Xi took Li Li Chai Song into the tent.

"The Heavenly King helped Xiao Yunxi to meet His Royal Highness the King of the South."

Li Raoben turned his back to Xiao Yunxi, suddenly turned his head at this moment, and said angrily: "You did a good job!" ”

Yunxi smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness the King of the South has won the award, Yunxi has not done anything big, why did he make the adults so angry?" ”

"You haven't done anything big yet?" Li Rao snorted, "The first emperor treated you well, helped you ascend to the position of helper, and supported you to go north to attack the enemy many times. Now that the Zhen family has locked up Lanjing City, it seems that it is going to bring disaster to the country and chaos in the government, at this critical moment, don't you remember the kindness of the first emperor? When you rush to Lanjing City today, you should immediately come to this king and kill the palace with this king to clean up the king's side. Instead of coming, you went to ask the civil official Zhen family first? Who are your enemies and who are your allies? ”

was reprimanded by Li Rao, Yunxi was not annoyed, and explained in a deep voice: "Yunxi is a courtier and cares about the first emperor, so he naturally wants to go to pay homage as soon as possible." It's just that she didn't expect Zhen Guifei to ambush the sword and axe hand in front of the spirit, and when she saw Yunxi coming alone, she wanted to force Yunxi to hand over the military power on the spot. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Rao said angrily, "I have long known that this Zhen family has bad intentions, and sure enough!" ”

“…… There used to be a little bit of bad intentions, but it was not as serious as His Royal Highness Nanwang thought. Yunxi smiled, "The Zhen family's Wenchen has endured the way of Confucius and Mencius since childhood, where have you ever seen a real posture?" I wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but I didn't know that His Royal Highness the King of the South really sent troops to besiege the city, and I was already panicked in my heart, but because of the arrogance of the scholars, I had been holding on and refusing to admit defeat. ”

"Oh?" Li Rao said disdainfully, "These cowardly and foolish literati know that they are hiding and spending all their time drinking, and when they see this king's real knife and real gun, they will soften their bones." ”

Yunxi smiled: "Exactly." After some persuasion by Yunxi, they also died. ”

"Really? How did you persuade them? Li Rao was surprised.

Yun Xi smiled, and the words were sonorous and powerful: "As long as Yun Xi can say that His Royal Highness the King of the South can retire from the army, he will serve Yun Xi as the first assistant of the regent." ”

Li Rao was furious: "Good boy, for the sake of your own glory and wealth, you actually dare to ignore the national government and make a deal with this gang of rebellious ministers and thieves?" You deserve to be killed too! He hurriedly shouted, "Come on, tie up this Xiao Yunxi for me!" ”

When he boarded, there were left and right wrestlers who stepped forward and took the rope to subdue Yunxi. Yun Xi's eyes moved, Chai Song and Li Li had both flown out, and knocked down several wrestlers in an instant.

Li Rao was even more angry when he saw this, and shouted: "Xiao Yunxi, you are so bold, even the people of this king dare to make a move!" Today, since you have come to my camp of the king of the south, I will teach you to come with your life and leave without your life! ”

Yun Xi laughed: "You don't have to worry about His Royal Highness King Nan, Yun Xi has hands and feet, so naturally he comes by himself and goes by himself." ”

Li Rao said angrily: "What kind of place are you and my Nanwang camp, come and leave as much as you want?" ”

"I received the kindness of the first emperor, and then I honored you with His Royal Highness the King of the South. Otherwise, let your southern king's camp of tigers and wolves entrenched, in my Xiao Yunxi's eyes, it is just like walking on the ground. Yun Xi smiled slightly, strode out of the tent, stood in the middle of the field and raised his palm and patted it.

Suddenly, flags were erected on the mountain. Thousands of soldiers stood on the top of the mountain and prayed in unison: "The Heavenly King Gang soldiers congratulate His Royal Highness the Southern King with great blessings to the sky!" ”

Li Rao gritted his teeth in anger, rushed out of the tent, and roared angrily: "Xiao Yunxi, what do you mean by this? Do you want to threaten me with your arms? ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of the South, Chen Bing is here, thinking that the valley is dangerous, and there are abundant water and grass for the horses to eat, so he chose to camp here." If the defenders of the city of Lanjing attack from the city, they will be able to prevent it from danger. I don't want my Tianwang to help the sergeants fight all year round, and they are all familiar with crossing mountains and mountains, and they have to climb to the top in one night, and they have prepared countless wooden rolling stones for His Royal Highness King Nan on the top of the mountain. As long as His Royal Highness the King of the South gave an order and cut off my Xiao Yunxi's head, the sassal rolling stones poured down from the mountain. Although it will not wipe out all the elite soldiers of His Royal Highness King Nanwang, at least he will bite off a bite of His Royal Highness King Nan's meat, and Yunxi will die a solid death. ”

"You reckless thief! Are you determined to be on the side of the peacemakers? Li Rao said angrily.

Yunxi shook his head and leaned over and saluted: "Yunxi has no such intention. His Royal Highness the King of the South has always been like a fire, and Yunxi wanted to be honest, but before he finished speaking, His Royal Highness the King of the South wanted to push Yunxi out and behead him. Yunxi stationed troops on the mountain, and there was no desire to threaten His Royal Highness the King of the South, but he only asked His Royal Highness the King of the South to be able to endure his temper and listen to Xiao Yunxi's words. After listening, if His Royal Highness King Nan still insists on attacking the city, Yunxi has nothing to say. ”

Li Rao glanced at Yunxi, he was not a patient person, but when the soldiers were in the camp, even if he had a big temper, he had to suppress it, snorted, and strode back to the tent. Yun Xi also took Li Li Chai Song and walked back.

Li Rao snorted angrily and sat back on the throne in the tent, his eyes did not look at Yunxi, and said loudly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart." ”

Yun Xi saw that he didn't give him a seat, nor was he angry, so he only smiled and said, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Nan, why did he raise troops to serve the king?" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, because of the Zhen family's disaster and chaos in the country, this king came from afar with his troops, in order to eliminate the rebel party for the country. ”

Yun Xi smiled: "Is this true? ”

Li Rao's eyes widened: "Is this still fake?" Do you think that this king came with troops to force the palace to kill the king? Everything this king has done is for the country, and he has never been tainted with the slightest selfish interest. ”

Yun Xi praised: "His Royal Highness the King of the South has such loyalty, and the first emperor has a spirit in the sky, which is also deeply gratifying. ”

Li Rao snorted: "Hmph, what if you are loyal, it's not that you are defeated in the hands of your yellow-mouthed child." ”

Yunxi smiled: "Since everyone is dedicated to the country and is a family, how can we talk about victory or defeat?" ”

Li Rao said angrily: "Nonsense, who is a family with the surname Zhen...... I thought that your kid and the first emperor were single-minded, but I didn't expect that you were also a cunning and selfish person who fought for power and profit. ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "In the eyes of His Royal Highness King Nan, as long as he is with the first emperor, he is a loyal minister and filial son, and he can get the trust and support of His Royal Highness King Nanwang, right?" ”

Li Rao said angrily: "Of course! ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "Then what is the greatest ambition of the first emperor?" ”

Li Rao said angrily: "Naturally, it is to defeat Yanjin and recover the rivers and mountains!" ”

Yun Xi smiled: "Who is the obstacle to recovering the rivers and mountains in the court?" ”

Li Rao said angrily: "Of course it's the Zhen family and his lackeys!" ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "Why does the Zhen family hinder the recovery of rivers and mountains? ”

Li Rao said angrily: "It's not because they are poor and extravagant, they only care about their own enjoyment!" In recent years, the tax revenue has been weak, but Zhen does not think about opening up sources and reducing expenditures, and is dedicated to hunting for curiosities, building high-rise buildings today, transporting lakes and stones tomorrow, making the people miserable, and using the silver in the treasury like water...... If it weren't for that, even if the Creation Building was lost to the enemy, the Heavenly King Gang would always have backup, and they would never fall into the dilemma of passively responding to the battle in the battle of Yandang City! ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of the South is really good at strategy, and he can see the trick in this. Then Yunxi asked you, if the recovery of the rivers and mountains no longer uses regular taxes, to ensure that his Zhen family can still spend all their lives drinking, and even to fight for more taxes for them, will they not stop us from resisting Yan? ”

Li Rao was stunned: "This ......" he stroked his beard, "...... You kid, you're weird. But if there is a new way, let's talk about it quickly! ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "Recently, I talked with the Tuotar people, and I heard that when they attack the city to the west, they will indulge the soldiers to plunder the resources in the city. The soldiers have sweetness, and naturally they fight more bloodily. Because of this, today's Tutatar talents are good at fighting, and in just a few months, they have expanded thousands of miles westward, approaching the Lingyue Dynasty and becoming the overlord of the Western Regions. ”

Li Rao shook his head: "A barbarian nation like Tutatar, who only knows how to rob money and women when they win battles, has no education. I should respect my identity as a great country, and how can I be in the same league with such barbarians. ”

Yunxi smiled: "Although it can't be in the same stream, it also inspired Yunxi's ideas." That is, to feed the war with war. ”

"Feeding war with war?" Li Rao was stunned.

Yun Xi smiled: "Yes, it is to fight to raise war." This is a strategy of war and war, and it is divided into two parts. One is to occupy the point, and the other is to lure down. ”

Li Rao's eyes moved: "Boy, say quickly." Don't sell it. ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "Just as there are several garrison points in this Lanjing City, there are also several strategic points in the territory of the Yanjin Empire. These strategic points often hoarded important materials of the Yanjin Empire, and also garrisoned the most elite troops of the Yanjin Empire. In the past, it was difficult for us to be independent, and whenever we grabbed strategic points, we always pulled back and forth with Yan Jin, and the outcome was mixed, and no one asked anyone to go. Now that Tuata is willing to help and contain a part of Yanjin's forces in the northwest, the defense of these strategic points is not as tight as before. We saw the opportunity, pretended to attack and exert pressure on the surface, and then secretly sent scouts to constantly harass guerrillas. As time goes by, the enemy's rotation is unfavorable, and he is naturally tired of garrisoning, and this strategic point should be at your fingertips. As long as we seize a few strategic points from him, create momentum for my Zhaoyin, and then send troops to strictly defend at strategic points and establish rule, the military supplies for this siege will be self-sufficient, and naturally there is no need to use the treasury funds, and it will not affect Zhen's fun. ”

Li Rao snorted: "Hypocrisy, real and real, it is indeed a good plan." That...... What about decoy? And what does that mean? ”

Yun Xi smiled: "Why did you come to the military station, not to give yourself a way to live?" The biggest shortcoming of the military system of this dynasty is that the status of the soldiers is too low and the support is insufficient. Although many soldiers have fought for the country for several years, or died on the battlefield, or are old, weak, sick and disabled, they have not been properly resolved. In the final analysis, it was because the treasury was not surplus that it could not give reasonable pensions to the soldiers. If we can get this fee from Yan Jin, we don't have to worry about the morale of our Zhaoyin soldiers. ”

Li Rao sighed: "You are also a person who has been fighting for several years, and you can say it so lightly, how can this Yanjin person's money be so easy to pick?" ”

Yun Xi smiled: "War war, winning is the momentum of war, and winning is the hearts of the people." As long as we concentrate our forces and seize a few fortresses, we can send scouts to spread the news in the city and persuade the Yanjin families who are willing to surrender to pay a certain amount of 'security tax' to avoid the pain of conscription and raiding." This part of the money can be used to compensate the wounded soldiers and stabilize the morale of our army. People are inert, as long as they pay the money, they will be at ease, and they will naturally become the people we can use, and they will lobby for us. As long as one person takes the lead, other big households will find that this move is feasible, and they will naturally submit to it, and military spending will naturally accumulate more and more. This is called a trick to lure people down. ”

Li Rao laughed: "Boy, you are really tricky and weird, and you have a good plan!" It's just that the Zhen family is in power, controls the dynasty, and although the strategy is good, I'm afraid that the Zhen family will not bother to implement it. ”

Yun Xi took out the crown prince's gold bracelet from his arms and handed it to Li Rao: "His Royal Highness the King of the South, please see, the Zhen family has promised Yun Xi to take the position of regent." Now the prince is young, and all the affairs of the world belong to the regent. As long as Yunxi vigorously implements it, this policy will definitely be implemented. ”

Li Rao smiled: "No wonder you want to take the position of regent." No wonder the first emperor always praised you for your quick thinking, and when you look at it today, it is indeed true. That's it, as long as you are willing to continue to fight Yanjin, my Li clan will make you regent. It also saves us from beating ourselves and letting Yan Jinbai watch a good show. ”

Yunxi bowed deeply: "His Royal Highness the King of the South is dedicated to the country and should be a model for Yunxi." ”

Li Rao laughed: "In this case, you quickly remove the sandalwood rolling stone on the head of this king, and we can also withdraw our troops to face the saint, quickly support the new monarch, and do a vigorous and great cause." ”

Yunxi reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the corners of his lips tugged: "Yes." Do a big job. ”
