Li Lingyue, who was moisturized, suddenly felt a lot better, and handled all kinds of official affairs in the court every day, and returned to the mansion at night to wait for Li You's arrival with peace of mind, of course, Li You still has Zhou Nan and Zheng Yan'er at home, and she can't come over to accompany her every day, but three or five days is enough to satisfy her. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Lingyue's changes have also aroused the curiosity of many people, and even after Zhou Nan saw her, he curiously asked her what kind of health secret recipe she had recently, the effect was so miraculous, it looked as if she was several years younger, and Li Lingyue could only change the topic to avoid the past.

And Li You is also very proud here, dealing with all kinds of preparations for the Northern Expedition more and more neatly, and in just over a month, all the details have been perfected, and you can go to the court to go through the process.

This morning, all the officials with real power in Jiazhou are all together, even King Fu, who has always rarely appeared in the court, also came to the throne and sat on the throne and looked at the ministers in the court with a little apprehension, even if he no longer cares about the affairs of the outside world, he also knows that after taking the capital, he may not be able to sit on this throne again, although Li You and Li Lingyue have said to him many times that they will save his life and leisure, but he is still a little worried.

But what if you are worried? King Fu laughed self-deprecatingly, now the court is full of Li You's manpower, and the army is even more controlled by him, even the imperial guards guarding the palace are also obeying Li You's orders, even if he wants to attack himself, what can he do? Instead of worrying about these futile troubles, it is better to enjoy yourself in the harem with peace of mind, since there is no way to simply be too lazy to think about it, King Fu put these aside, and looked at Li You, who was talking about the Northern Expedition plan in the next place, but his mind drifted to those charming and moving concubines in the palace, thinking about who to go to spend the night after going down to the court for a while?

“...... This time, the Privy Council decided to send 100,000 troops to the north, plus the 30,000 troops who had been stationed in Dugi Province to defend Yuan Zhang, and Qin Shixin, who was resisting the northern captives in Gyeonggi Province, also had 30,000 troops, so that the total of 160,000 troops went north. Although Li Gui led 300,000 soldiers and horses when he drove the expedition, as long as he knew a little about military affairs, the 300,000 army could not be compared with Li You's army, not to mention that the situation of empty wages in the forbidden army in the past was really serious, and it is difficult to say whether these 300,000 people can actually exceed 200,000, even if they are fully staffed, they are far inferior to Li You's Jiazhou army in terms of combat effectiveness.

Si Nongqing and the workshop have provided many good seeds and advanced agricultural tools for the people, so that the grain output of the provinces under the rule of Jiazhou has risen again and again, and the cleaning of acres and the elimination of hidden fields can allow the imperial court to collect more grain taxes, so as to supply the food needs of the more than 100,000 troops.

The army fought thieves in the various provinces, maintained local peace, and the merchant travel was also active, and the recovery of Jiangnan Dongdao opened up the road for overseas trade, and countless ordinary silk and porcelain of the Great Wei Dynasty were transported to overseas countries through merchant ships, providing the imperial court with a steady stream of taxes, and the salaries of these soldiers were also guaranteed.

There is also the Ministry of Industry led by Gu Jiangzi, constantly mining and establishing iron-making plants in various places, using new methods to smelt better quality steel at a cheaper cost, and the excellent craftsmen trained in the workshop school then use the assembly line working method to make these raw materials into swords, guns, bows, crossbows, armor, and cannons and guns in the hands of the soldiers, and the Jiazhou army, which is fully armed, is already the most luxurious army on this continent.

The Jiazhou Army is not only well-fed and well-equipped, but also has been trained in martial arts by groups of talented officers, and experienced and proficient officers such as Li You, Sima Cuo, Luo Shiji, Qin Shixin, and Xu Guang have taught them knowledge in all aspects from marching, exploration, logistics, staff officers, and command to combat command, thus creating a perfect officer system for the Jiazhou Army.

What's more, today's Jiazhou is no longer as heavy on literature and light on military force as the Great Wei in the past, and the people will not avoid it when they see soldiers traveling in military uniforms like before, but will give a thumbs up and shout hello! Because through Li You's deliberate guidance of public opinion and the fact that these soldiers often help to carry out large-scale projects and rescue disasters, the people of Jiazhou know that this is an army to protect their safety, and how can they be afraid if they are too late to be grateful?

The treatment is sufficient, there are relatively wide channels for promotion in the army, and if they go out to be admired, even if they are killed or injured in battle, the court will be properly resettled and given generous pensions, so why won't these soldiers try their best to fight to the death? Previously, the Privy Council released a little rumor of the imminent Northern Expedition, and the armies enthusiastically asked for their lives and asked to participate in the Northern Expedition, and their morale was greatly used.

On the other hand, on the side of the Beiyu, Xu Shiyong has been unpopular in the capital for a long time, and the people there all hope day and night that the Jiazhou army can go north to save them from fire and water.

Although Arub of Dragon City still has the ambition to annex the world, the tribal nobles under his command quickly fell into the prosperity of the Central Plains, and there are not many people who are willing to ride their horses again and wield scimitars to fight the enemy to the death.

Although Yuan Zhang of Henan Province tried his best to maintain the local situation, but the unreserved trust between him and Arubu was no longer as unreserved as at the beginning, Arubu was worried that he would lead the troops to have different intentions outside, Yuan Zhang was also deeply distressed that Arubu could no longer listen to his advice, and he had no good way to see Dayuan fall rapidly.

Under the elimination of the other, the army has not yet started, Li You has at least an eighty percent chance of winning in his heart, "The 160,000 army is divided into two routes, one is to attack Henan Province from Dugi Province, and it is necessary to completely annihilate Yuan Zhang's army and recover Henan Province, and the other road will go north from Gyeonggi Province and go straight to the capital." ”

“...... In addition, General Qian, the sailor, would also lead the fleet north with Yan Zhenquan and land at the junction of Henan Province and Hedong Road, cutting off the connection between Yuan Zhang and Longcheng, so that they could not care about each other. Li You confidently showed his plan to everyone on the map, "With such a three-way army and horses at the same time, the northern captives will definitely not be able to deal with it." ”
