"The grassland Hu was born in the bitter cold. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info struggle to survive. Even the boy is also good at riding and shooting. Coupled with the fierce folk style. Inter-tribal conquests continued. Each is a brave warrior.

The minister spent the winter in the grassland. Last year there was a big snowstorm in the Tatar steppe. The Tatars suffered heavy losses. Life will surely be even more difficult in the coming year. Although Jin always used these Hu people as the vanguard. But it doesn't know how to control it. It will only be overpowered by soldiers. Wanton looting and suppression, not to mention. I don't know how to appease Huairou yet. Now all the tribes of the grassland have hated the Jin country to the core.

This time, I am on the Great Qin Expedition. The defeated Jin soldiers were on the banks of Fenshui. Although it did not hurt its roots. But the benefits are numerous. Ministers can't be all of them. This fall or next year. There will be a great war in the grasslands.

"Oh?" Li Xuanjin couldn't help but increase his interest. Although the most important thing is the south side now. But as an emperor. But look at the big picture. Vision cannot be lost in one city and one pool. Now the Central Plains is divided. Jin Guo is powerful. For the northern Hu people, it feels very far away. A little bit of news came back. to his ears. In fact, time has long passed. Like Zhao Shi, he travels like this. There are very few minds that are extremely clear. He was thinking about it. If there is a big war in the steppe. Then it will be more and more difficult for Jin Guo to get out. It's a good thing.

Zhao Shi continued: "In the minister's opinion. The strongest on the grassland is still the Jin country. But there was a big defeat on the banks of the Fenshui River. Its prestige has been weakened to the extreme.

The strongest of the grassland Hu people should belong to the barbarian tribe. They, like the Tatars, are descendants of the Turks. The population is large. It also occupies the most beautiful pasture on the grassland. Even the Jin Kingdom is powerless against them.

Next was the Wangu tribe of the Tatars. They are the closest to the Kingdom of Jin. The ones who are suppressed are also the most powerful. However, this time the Tanguts attacked gold. Approaching the Datong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom. But it gave them a chance to breathe. Centrifugation from the Kingdom of Jin is inevitable.

There are also the Tatars and Mongols in the northeast of the Jin Kingdom. In the opinion of the minister. They are also two of the most warlike peoples on the steppe today.

Majesty may not know. Mongols were born in the far northeast. The origins are very messy. The people of the steppes collectively called them Mongols. More than a decade ago, the Mongols were scattered tribes. The strongest may be their Kree. The Mongols fought against each other. Vendettas continue. In fact, it is difficult to unify together.

But the situation is different today. Among the Mongols came three heroic men. Wang Han of the Kereh tribe. Command many tribes. Zamuhe, who confronted the Mur beggars. and Temujin of the Beggar Division. There are three people in it. Vendettas between the Mongol tribes have become less and less common. Their position in the northeastern steppes is becoming more and more secure.

But they are not without enemies. Both the Tatars and the Mur beggars are their feuds. The Beggars don't talk about it first. The Tatars were also not weaker than the Mongols. They are also in the northeast of the Kingdom of Jin. and the Kingdom of Jin are at war. and the former Huns. What the Turks did made no difference.

Jin Guo was overwhelmed. So they united with the Mongols against them. Under the attack from both sides. The Tatars are already exhausted.

The great war that the minister spoke of was internal strife among the Mongols. A battle between Zamuhe and Temujin. Although it happened in the far northeast. But the implications are extensive. Jin Guo. It's a barbarian. Even the Tatars were among them......

Although Li Xuanjin listened carefully to these disputes on the grassland. But he didn't care. But I'm also a little happy. However, Zhao Shi's last sentence made him stunned.

The minister dared to assert. The country of gold is no longer a problem. The future opponent of my Great Qin must be the Hu people in the northern grasslands. ”

Li Xuanjin smiled slightly. Since ancient times. The north is where the troops are used. It is as strong as the Tang Dynasty. Nor did they occupy the steppe. The Hu people and the Han people were natural opponents. Hardly surprising. However, the meaning of Zhao Shi's words made him feel happy. If you can reach the Central Plains. Aren't the opponents those Hu people?

His expression softened a lot. "Alright. It is also thanks to you that you always do not forget the affairs of the state. It is not worth my painstaking efforts...... But war was imminent in the south. What can't you say to me? But you have to talk a lot outside?

You're young. But I see that you have a calm and capable temperament. He has made many meritorious deeds. I didn't think I needed to worry about anything. When you left your post without permission, you will be counted once. But the attack on the river is imminent. But you are talking nonsense. Fortunately, it is in the Queen Mother's Palace. If it's elsewhere. I can't spare you.

Forget it this time. If there is a recidivism. Punish severely. All right. Now I'm with you. Let's talk about everything. Do you have any advice for the battle of Sichuan?

Zhao Shi frowned. It is true that the Mongols invaded the Central Plains a little earlier. Now the Central Plains is divided. Perhaps no one could have imagined the Mongols moving south a decade or decades later. It's not without foresight. Nowadays, the name of the Mongolian people may not have been heard of by the Han people in the Central Plains. The strength is also the smallest among the grassland tribes. It's a bit pointless to say this yourself.

Pondered for a moment. Still going to tell the truth. In front of him is the unfathomable emperor. Deceive or even perfunctory such people. It's not good for me.

"Let's be honest. Chan was worried......

"Oh?" Li Xuanjin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Shi to be so direct.

Zhao Shi continued: "I heard that the army in central Sichuan is weak. Vulnerable. I don't know if it's true or not. If that's the case. In the war, there is nothing to say about the minister. The Privy Council and the Lords of the War Department must have thought much more carefully than the ministers.

But what the minister was worried about was the pacification of Huairou after the war. Since ancient times. The people in the middle of the river are strong. It's not inferior to my Qin Chuanzhi. The meaning of majesty xià is very clear. It must not be that he wants to kill a corpse in Kawanaka. Rivers of blood. It's useless to come to that kind of Sichuan, my Great Qin.

That being the case. After the Great War. How to appease the people in central Sichuan is the top priority. What the minister was worried about was...... The scale of the war. You can't hit it too hard. But it can't be light. And what is more important is the military discipline of my Great Qin. Looting and looting must not be carried out wantonly. Once someone does. It's a mess. It's chaotic everywhere. The shape of the river is complex. Once the thieves swarmed. Drill into the mountains. Then stir up chaos among the barbarians. Then the whole river is a quagmire. If I have the Central Plains, it's okay. Slowly calm down the chaos. It's okay for the people to mess up for a year or two. But it won't be chaotic for ten or twenty years. As long as the strategy is right. When the people are at peace. That is, the day of the pacification of Kawanaka.

But then again. I'm only a corner of Daqin. There are no more than a few hundred thousand soldiers. Once the chaos in Kawanaka. It's hard to do that.

This was just the first thing Chen was worried about. The second is that the Meng clan in Sichuan has enjoyed the country for a long time. Kawanaka is also stable. This people's desire is not on my side of Daqin. If you can follow the lì to capture the Hou Shu Jing Division. How to settle the Meng royal family? One is not good. It's the source of trouble......

Listened to this. Li Xuanjin glanced at Zhao Shi in surprise. He only thought that Zhao Shi was worried about the difficult road in Sichuan. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. But he didn't think that Zhao Shi would think so deeply. It's so long-term.

Half an hour later. I let out a long breath. It was outside the courtyard in Gongyi County. I was already a little surprised that there are really people in this world who are born to know. The teenager unfolded in front of him a grand blueprint that had never been seen before. Let all his ambitions be laid on it.

And now this boy is already a general. He stood in front of him and talked eloquently. How does it make him feel like he did back then?

Narrowed his eyes. Laugh softly. But the voice was a little hoarse. "None of this is a cause for concern. Yang Xiang had already thought of it. There is a plan in place. But. You can have such insight. It's not easy. How? Don't you really want to go south to make meritorious contributions? ”

Zhao Shi did not hesitate in this. He immediately replied: "The minister was in distress several times this time. It can be described as a near-death life...... The minister wanted to rest in Jingshi for a few days. The army from the south gathered. There are not many Zhao Shi. One less Zhao Shi is a lot. It's not that ministers don't want to contribute to the country. It's just that now the minister is really tired. ”

Li Xuanjin was stunned. I didn't expect Zhao Shi to answer so simply. Then he laughed. "Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi. Do you know what I value most about you? ”

glanced at Zhao Shi. But I didn't expect him to answer. Gu Gu said to himself: "The ministers of the DPRK and the central government are talking back and forth with me. lest I blame them. Only you can speak up in front of me. To be able is to be able. If you can't, you can't. To think is to think. If you don't want to, you don't want to At this point. Above the court, the left and right ministers are not as good as you......

Case. I don't force you. But. You have made great achievements in this crusade. But there is also the crime of desertion. If you go to the south. That's the time to hire people. I will allow you to lead the army this time. Take it all your own. Needless to say, the offense of desertion is not to be mentioned. But if you want to stay in the capital. I can reward you. But this punishment is inevitable. Do you really want to serve in front of the Southern Army? ”

Leading the Armies? Alone? Zhao Shi's heart moved. But then he put this useless thought aside. Shook his head.

"Good. But. I don't have merit or demerit here. This reward must be rewarded. You go home and listen to the order. As for the punishment. Now I can tell you. Originally, those who left their posts without permission in the army were equivalent to fleeing from the battle. It can be cut immediately. But it's forgivable to miss you. He also has the heart of serving the country. It's not too much for me to beat you ten boards in court, right? and a fine of one year. Stay in your original position to see the after-effects. Are you convinced? ”

"The minister admits punishment." Zhao Shizhi also replied simply. Ten boards. Plus a year of money. It's really nothing to him. Perfunctory. Compared with capital crimes, the punishment seems to be very light.

Li Xuanjin looked at him expressionlessly. There is no half-sincere fear of others. I also said in my heart. Isn't the punishment a little light? Immediately, the cunning color of a young man appeared in his eyes. Then he said, "You are guilty of a capital offense." That seems a bit light-hearted. So be it. The state is about to use troops. The treasury is empty. Since you don't want to play in the South. Then donate some money. and it shall be the atoning for your sins. How much is good? to your position. It seems that you have been wronged if you are missing. Just 200,000 taels of silver......

"Huh?" Zhao Shi was stunned? It seems that some people don't believe their ears.

"Hmph. Don't be fooled by me. 200,000 taels as military funds. Although it's like a drop in the bucket. But it's not without a small supplement. I Chrysostom. I can't change my mouth. ”

Zhao Shi raised his eyebrows. In his heart, he calculated how many 200,000 taels there were. But he never counted the money. At this time, I couldn't remember if I had the 200,000 taels of silver. But 200,000 is not a small number. It's not a sale of property, right? If only he had paid it himself. There are so many people in the family......

Eyes rolling. But there was a flash of inspiration in my mind. "Your Majesty slowed down. The minister felt that what His Majesty had done was wrong. ”

Li Xuanjin snorted and was happy. The tiredness of sleeping late at night has also been much lighter. Since his accession to the throne. There aren't many times when it's so easy. I also endured the temperament. Let's see how this young man, who has been looking old since they met, can avoid the punishment of 200,000 taels of silver.

"陛xià. This example is not open. Imagine it. It is a crime to abandon one's duty without permission. But luck paid some credit. The punishment before Majesty Xià was quite well-founded. But it is necessary to say that the silver is fined. Not to mention that the minister can't come up with so much money. It's just something that can be taken out. I also want to persuade His Majesty to take back his fate.

One is that this example is opened. If someone makes a mistake in the future. How is Majesty punished? Is it also possible to make atonement for sins? If so. The whole dynasty knows that money can communicate with God and buy life. Since you can buy even your life. People with ulterior motives rarely want to loot the people in office. Anyway, it's time to spend money. And so it goes. Corrupt officials are rampant. But it's all because of His Majesty's words.

Second, the minister is not a corrupt official. You probably won't be able to come up with that much money. But it is necessary to sell the house to sell it to make it up. The Chen family is living on the streets, so much that it is nothing. But His Majesty also gave me a lot of maids. Then they will suffer with their vassals. It's one thing to be sorry for your majesty. But it's going to get into some gossip. I'm afraid that it will damage the reputation of His Majesty. Please think twice. ”

His remarks were justified and well-founded. It's also very smooth. It's very different from his previous image of few words. This is also what he thinks of the Qing Dynasty in later generations. Hook up and down. They are all led by the imperial court. In the end, the whole system was smoky. Can't be cleaned up. I took it out with an idea. Otherwise, he has seen it. I don't think so far ahead.

Li Xuanjin stayed there for a long time. It didn't come to pass, it was just a joke. But it led to this big article. I want to say that Zhao Shi is clever and colorful, right? There seems to be some truth to this. But think about it. But something was wrong.

Stand up. Take a few turns around the main hall. Half an hour later. But it was laughing. Between this laugh. But it's exciting. Until tears burst into laughter. Only then did he point at Zhao Shi and said, "I didn't expect it." Unexpectedly. Zhao Shi, you are also a money-keeper. Ha ha. I really didn't see it. Return. Return. I'm going to rest...... Don't forget that when you ascend to the temple the day after tomorrow, you can come to the temple to receive the punishment......" (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next.
