"I suddenly got two pieces of news last night, one good news and one bad news at the same time!"

Early in the morning, Zhao Yuan suddenly said this, and then looked coldly at the reactions of the courtiers below. Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, everyone looked at each other and just looked at Zhao Yuan without speaking.

"Then I'll tell you the good news first!" Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Just five days ago, the monarchs and ministers of the Dashi Kingdom surrendered to General Cao Wei. I believe that the 800-mile rush ahead has arrived! ”

"The minister also received the news yesterday!" Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Lu Zhengyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, hurriedly stood up and said, "Late yesterday night, the Ministry of War received a battle report from the front line, General Cao has successfully taken down the Dashi Kingdom, and now the Dashi Kingdom is already the place of my Dazheng Kingdom!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" After Lu Wenyan's words fell, everyone glanced at each other, and immediately knelt down to congratulate Zhao Yuan with excitement. In just half a year, the Taizheng Kingdom has more than doubled the land area of the two countries, and the glory of expanding the territory belongs not only to Zhao Yuan, the emperor, but also to their courtiers.

Moreover, as the land area increases, the number of places under their jurisdiction will naturally increase, which means that their power will be greatly enhanced. Even the courtiers of the original Datong Kingdom had a comfortable smile on their faces at this moment. Not to mention the grievances of being pointed at after they were destroyed, they are much more comfortable now than they are. Compared to the monarchs and ministers who surrendered to the Great Stone Kingdom, they were much more comfortable.

"The good news has been said, so I'm telling you the bad news!" Looking at the ministers below with excited faces, Zhao Yuan said softly, "According to the secret report of Jinyi Wei, Dayu has gathered more than 200,000 troops and rushed straight to Dayong Pass. And this time, the monarch Sun Ye personally led the troops, and the royal army was personally conscripted! ”

"According to the secret report sent by Jinyiwei, Dayu Guo obviously came prepared this time. It is also the monarch of Dayu Kingdom, Sun Ye, who drove the expedition in person, and the morale of more than 200,000 troops is like a rainbow, and it is said that the army of Daewoo is much better armoured, obviously after careful preparation, this Sun Ye wants to avenge the defeat in the past! ”

"Impossible!" After hearing Zhao Yuan's words, someone immediately said loudly: "In the previous battle of Dayong Pass, more than half of the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Dayu Kingdom were damaged, and their vitality was greatly injured. In such a short period of time, they simply couldn't muster so many troops! ”

Not to mention that after the fiasco, the national strength of the surplus country has temporarily declined greatly, the trauma of the war has not yet passed, and all kinds of logistics supplies are fundamentally underprepared. What they are doing now should be to recuperate, how can they provoke a big war in such a short time! ”

"I thought it was impossible, but that's exactly what happened, and I think the exact news will arrive soon!" Looking at the ministers with different expressions below, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Dayu Kingdom is really attacking with the strength of the country this time, not only the forbidden army stationed in Beijing, but also the Shence army is basically dispatched, and most of the main forces of each border pass are transferred to gather more than 200,000 elites!" ”

"Is Dayu Guo crazy, how can he send the border army to fight. Aren't they afraid that when the war with the Taisho Kingdom is fierce, the surrounding countries will take advantage of its weakness to attack? ”

"This is nothing, I have also received news that the Datong Kingdom in the east of my Taisho Kingdom also intends to send troops to my Taizheng Kingdom at the same time!" Looking at the people with different expressions, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "That is to say, the war a few months ago, I'm afraid it will be repeated today, and this time the two countries are definitely making a bloody investment!" ”

"Compared with Dayu Guo, which had lost troops and lost generals, Datong Guo just went through the motions a few months ago, and there was no big loss in its own strength. This time, Datong sent more than 100,000 troops to my border pass! ”

"What!" Zhao Yuan's words made everyone couldn't help but discuss in a low voice, Dayu Country came from the country, and Datong Country didn't look bad at all, and the two sides combined were nearly 400,000 troops.

But now that Cao Wei's army is being dragged in Dashiguo, I am afraid that it will be impossible to free up his hands for a while, the only good news is that Datong and Dashiguo have been taken one after another, and Dazheng Guo has no worries, and he can fight with all his might!

"It's easy to solve the problem on the side of Datongguo, and I ordered Wu Zheng, the lieutenant general of the Northern Army, to lead the army. With Wu Zheng's ability, it will not be a problem to keep Datong from the victory pass! Frowning, Zhao Yuan then said slowly, "It's just that Dayu Country is pouring the power of the whole country to attack, and it is the monarch Sun Ye himself, I'm afraid it will not be easy to solve!" ”

"Do you have a good plan?"

"Your Majesty, my Taisho Kingdom has gone through several wars in just half a year, and there have been several turmoil in the country!" After Zhao Yuan's words fell, someone immediately stood up and said.

However, after saying this, the person who spoke carefully glanced at Zhao Yuan, and saw that Zhao Yuan's face did not change, so he said carefully, "The newly occupied place needs to be appeased, and Your Majesty not only reformed the official system in just a few months, but also established the Second Academy of Civil and Military Affairs, and began to build academies one after another across the country, and the treasury expenditure is quite large!" ”

"Now that my Taisho State treasury has long been empty, it is really difficult to support!" As he spoke, the person who spoke knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that our Taizheng Kingdom only needs to order General Yan to strictly defend it, and we must not also throw all the strength of the whole country into a hard fight with it. Otherwise, before the war is won, the country's finances will completely collapse, and our Taisho Kingdom will be defeated without a fight! ”

"Now it's the Dayu Kingdom that is attacking with the strength of the country, if my Dazheng Kingdom doesn't pour out the strength of the whole country, how can I deal with it, do you want to see the army of the Dayu Kingdom drive straight in, and be happy when you see me tied up?"

"Don't dare! It's just that now the treasury is empty, I'm afraid it can't support such a big war! Seeing that Zhao Yuan seemed to be a little angry, this person did not take half a step back, but instead kowtowed deeply and said loudly, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

"Well, I got it. Come on, carry it up! With Zhao Yuan's angry shout, many sergeants immediately poured in. However, the sergeants did not have weapons in their hands, but several men came up carrying large boxes. Soon, a dozen or so large boxes were carried up.

"There are 100,000 taels of gold here, which is more than enough to deal with this big war and even make up for the emptiness of the treasury!" Pointing to the gold underneath, Zhao Yuan chuckled and said, "Lord Wu, is this money enough?" ”

"This, this is a hundred thousand taels of gold?" Carefully stepped forward to check the gold in the box, and the sadness on Wu Changyuan's face instantly turned into a smile, "Who has received it for more than a year as good as my Dazheng Kingdom." With this money, the logistics of the army are worry-free, and even if it is fought for a year, there will be no problems! I just don't know what the money is."

"I took out the money myself!" Glancing at Wu Changyuan and then at the others, Zhao Yuan said lightly, "You all listen to me, every penny here must be used for state affairs." If I know that you have embezzled anything, I will punish you severely under the laws of the land! ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

"Su Chen!" Looking at Su Chen, who was honestly standing in the crowd, Zhao Yuan shouted loudly. Originally, half of the officials of Datong were recruited by Su Chen to surrender, and it was because of him that Datong was defeated so easily. If not, it will not be a problem for Datong Kingdom to defend it for a year and a half with the high walls of the capital and more than 100,000 troops, and Dazheng Kingdom will not know how much loss it will take at that time. It can be said that Su Chen can be regarded as a great contributor to winning Datong Kingdom!

After returning from Datongguo, Su Chen has been quietly doing the official given to him by Zhao Yuan. I don't see him colluding with officials, nor making good friends with colleagues, and he has never made any suggestions in the court. looks like he doesn't care about himself, as if he came to the court just to make up the numbers. But Zhao Yuan knew in his heart that he was probably doing this to avoid suspicion!

"Your Majesty!" After hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Su Chen walked out with a reluctant look and bowed slightly to Zhao Yuan.

"Su Chen, I now order you to send envoys to Dafeng, Da Yin, Da Qian and other countries, and you must persuade them to deal a fatal blow to Dayu and Datong from behind!"

"Your Majesty!" Looking at Zhao Yuan with some confusion, Su Chen whispered, "These two countries are pouring all their strength into attack, and they don't mind the threat behind them. The minister felt that they didn't mind, but that they were confident, knowing that the country behind them would not take this opportunity to attack them. Maybe there was an agreement between them long before the troops were dispatched! ”

"Are you trying to tell me not to hope too much for you this mission?"

"The so-called hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit, and this agreement is meant to be torn up, but it is just to see if the price is enough!" Looking at Su Chen, Zhao Yuan said lightly, "Su Chen, I have already seen your skills." I still say the same thing, if you do it, I will do my best to agree to all requests! ”

"But this time it may indeed be difficult, just do your best, even if you don't succeed, I won't blame!"
