Chapter 642: Expedition Again

"The husband doesn't have to worry about the family when he goes, and the concubine will take care of the children. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info"In the Taiwei Mansion, Zhou Nan thoughtfully buttoned the cloak for Li You, "With my mother and Mrs. Zhou often coming to accompany the concubine, and the county lord will often visit, Jue'er will definitely not be lonely." ā€

"It's hard work Nan'er, I'm afraid Jue'er will call Daddy next time I come back, right?" Looking at Li Jue, who was already six months old in swaddling clothes, Li You was really reluctant to leave this time, this time it was a few months or half a year, and I didn't know when I would be able to see Zhou Nan and this lovely guy again, "The world has been turbulent in the past two years, and after I am reunified, I can stay at home and accompany your mother and son." ā€

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, and now the troubled times are trying his best to calm down, and the concubine is not the kind of woman who only cares about her own family." Even though he was quite reluctant in his heart, Zhou Nan still made a generous appearance.

"Well, it's not early, I'll leave first, you don't have to send it out, so as not to suffer the cold." After speaking, Li You walked out of the mansion with his own soldiers, and Zhou Nan responded with his mouth, but he involuntarily followed under his feet, and watched Li You's figure disappear on the corner of the street for a long time before returning to the mansion under the persuasion of Danqing.

Outside the city, Yao Guangxiao, Sima Cuo, Fan Li, Wang Ji, Xu Guang and other important ministers of the court were all waiting here, Li You turned over and dismounted to salute one by one, "Now the affairs of the court and the central government are going to bother you." "Now those courtiers who disagree with Li You have been driven out of the court by Yao Guangxiao through the fraud of the imperial examination, Yao Guangxiao and Wang Ji are in charge of the court, Fan Li controls the money and grain, Sima Cuo and Xu Guang are in charge of the military, even if Li You leaves, Jiazhou is still in his control, and there will be absolutely no mistakes.

"The lord doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the court, even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, they can't make any waves." Yao Guangxiao squinted his triangular eyes and said, before he was in prison and decisive, which made the ministers of the court and the central government frightened, and secretly gave him the nickname of a sick tiger.

"The supply of money and grain to Qiantang is already on the way, which is enough to support this battle to recover Jiangnan Dongdao, and it will not affect Dugi Province and the rest of the provinces." Fan Li said confidently, Li You was extremely relieved about this Tao Zhugong's planning of money and grain.

"Dugi Province has replenished 20,000 soldiers and horses in case Yuan Zhang takes the opportunity to go south, and Huainan Province, Jiangnan West Road, and Lingnan Road have also gathered 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses respectively in various key roads into Jiangnan East Road, as long as the king destroys the sailors of Jiangnan East Road, these armies can attack Jiangnan East Road at the same time, so that King Yue, Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng and they have nowhere to escape." After Sima Cuo finished speaking, he lowered his voice, "In addition, the spies of the Black Ice Platform in Jiangnan Dongdao are ready to respond, according to the news they sent back, if Zheng Feihuang and the others' sailors are completely annihilated, then there is a great possibility of persuading them to surrender." ā€

"It's so good, it's always good to have fewer deaths, and this matter is General Rama." Li You is also extremely happy, Jiangnan Dongdao is a prosperous place, it would be a pity if it was destroyed in the war, they are all the people of Great Wei, it would be better if they could not use swords, I hope they can see the situation clearly and make a wise choice.

"Since Mr. Wang is still in good health, and the situation between the DPRK and China has gradually calmed down, why doesn't Wang Shilang persuade Mr. Wang to go out of the mountains to help with state affairs?" Li You came to Wang Ji's side and said earnestly, an experienced minister like Wang Xun is still very useful, anyway, there is Yao Guangxiao in the court now, and he is not afraid of any dissent.

"Thank you Lord Taiwei for your concern, it's just that my father has long lost the heart of fame and fortune, so it's better to continue to stay in the university hall to teach and educate people." Wang Ji's polite refusal, Wang Xun, the old fox, refused to let himself have the slightest chance of getting into trouble, anyway, now Wang Ji's status is enough to ensure the wealth of their Wang family, even if he reaches the court, he can't add much glory, it is better to go to the university hall to cultivate more talents through his reputation in Confucianism.

It's okay like this, although it's a little pity, but Li You also relaxed his vigilance against the Wang family because of Wang Xun's choice, and he finally came to Xu Guang, "Mr. Xu, it's a pity that I can't go into battle with Mr. this time." ā€

"This time it's mainly a water war, and I'm afraid it's not much use if I go." Xu Guang pretended to be generous and said, he was also eager to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Jiazhou was the foundation of Li You, as the most trusted military general by Li You, the heavy responsibility of guarding Jiazhou when he went out on the expedition.

Bidding farewell to everyone one by one, Li You turned over and got on his horse, preparing to go out with a newly trained army of 20,000, and the ministers bowed down in unison, "I wish Lord Taiwei an early victory and return to the court." ā€

"Thank you for your auspicious words, this battle will definitely take Jiangnan Dongdao in one fell swoop and unify half of the country." Li You replied loudly, if Jiangnan Dongdao is recovered, then all the rivers and mountains in the south except for the remote Qianzhong Road and Jiannan Road will be owned by Li You, and more than sixty percent of the world's wealth will be under control, as long as these gains are digested, then there is a great chance of winning the decisive battle with the Northern Yuan in the future.

Hunting with banners, spears like forests, 20,000 troops like a winding dragon to the east, attracting the attention of countless people along the way, the people under the rule of Jiazhou, the business travelers are all sincerely eager for Li You to be able to calm the southeast as soon as possible, victory and return to the court, and those hidden among the people of the spies are extremely nervous, they quickly note down the number of people on the expedition, the direction, while secretly thinking about how to send back the news earlier.

At the same time that Li You led the army eastward, various spies also used various channels, carrier pigeons, and fast horses to send the news back to their masters.

Before Li You's army arrived in Qiantang, the news spread to Shuzhong, to the capital, to Henan Province, to Longcheng, and to Jiangnan East Province.

The King of Shu, Xu Shiyong, Yuan Zhang, Arubu, Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng and others successively received this big news that was destined to change the situation in the world, and they also began to gather their subordinates to discuss what kind of coping strategy their side should adopt in this turmoil.

In Qiantang City, Qian Hua didn't care about going to meet Li You, but soaked in the sailors all day long, making the final preparations before the army went to sea. (To be continued.) )
