Section 152 Xuzhou, Xuzhou

Cui Shang and Chen Wei looked at each other. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Shaking the secret report in his hand, Chen Wei was also speechless with a wry smile.

In front of the two important ministers, Gu Tao, the leader of the guards, was also a little embarrassed.

If it was in the past, Gu Tao would naturally report it immediately, and even the two of them could go straight through, but today was a little different, so he hinted at it in embarrassment.

"Only the king and the woman?"

Cui Shang has long heard that Jiang Feng often recruits this woman to see during this time, Yang Xun pretending to be sick is undoubtedly Jiang Feng's "bad idea", although Li Yu's side is not good to make trouble, but his inner dissatisfaction is certain, and he has a bad relationship with Li Yu's side, Cui Shang feels that it should not be, or that it is not worth it.

"Hmm. Gu Tao was also embarrassed, as the leader of Jiang Feng's personal guard, this kind of thing should not have been mixed up by him, so he could only stop tactfully and let Chen Cui and the others make up for it on their own.

Cui Shang exhaled a breath of turbidity, he didn't understand, Jiang Feng is not a womanizer, he knows this very well, why did he think about such a woman, and she is still a married woman, or such a sensitive woman, what kind of system?

Seeing Cui Shang's unswerving face, Chen Wei shook his head: "Bai Ling, let's wait, Xiao Gu, Junshang, well, how long have they been in?"

Gu Tao shook his head and was silent.

Chen Wei and Cui Shang exchanged glances, "Then let's wait in the outer hall." ”

When Gu Tao retreated, Chen Wei said to Cui Shang: "Bai Ling, pay attention, you and I are both subordinates, although the monarch is powerful, but men will inevitably commit such things, not to mention that the monarch is very introspective, don't worry too much." ”

Cui Shang nodded, "Well, thank you Brother Ziliang for reminding me, I just can't figure it out, could it be that the name of 'Xiao Zhouhou' is so attractive?"

"The gentleman is actually such a shallow person? I look at the 'little Zhou Hou' who is really extraordinary, and he is also very literate, I am afraid that he has just entered the eyes of the king. Chen Wei laughed, "Besides, the king has no heirs so far, the orchid sent by Hu Shang, the king abandoned it, Wang Huang and Du Tuo all mentioned this matter to a certain person, and his subordinates were panicked, it's not a good thing, if this 'little Zhou Hou' is favored by the king and can give birth to a boy and half a girl, it is also a good thing, right?"

That's a real thing.

Cui Shang is undoubtedly the most anxious that Jiang Feng has no heirs.

Calculate that Jiang Feng is already twenty-three now, and if he changes other men in this era, he will already have a son under his knees, but although Jiang Feng accepts two concubines, Xu Jing and Ju Hui are not out, which makes Cui Shang both anxious and puzzled.

That's just Xu Jing, Ju Hui was born with plump breasts and fat buttocks, in the words of Wen Po, a typical suitable man, why has there been no movement for so long.

He even arranged for his wife to ask Ju Rui and Xu Jing about the two daughters, but everything was normal, but there was no response.

Hearing Chen Wei say this, Cui Shang was also a little relieved in his heart.

Looking at the appearance of this "little Zhou Hou" who is quite pampered, I am afraid that I have the opportunity to be more favored, maybe the child really has a chance, if it is really pregnant, it is still a difficult thing, but I can't take care of it a lot.

"Your Majesty?"

"What's the matter?" At this time, it is definitely not a trivial matter for the guards to disturb, Gu Tao is a very discerning character, Jiang Feng knows it very well.

"Lord Chen and Master Cui are already waiting in the outer hall. Gu Tao's deep voice came from outside the door.

"Oh? I see. Jiang Feng was stunned, this means that he has been waiting for a while, which makes Jiang Feng a little embarrassed, "That subordinate has retired." ”

When Gu Tao's footsteps disappeared, Zhou Rui, who was already ashamed of the brocade where he was, couldn't help but sit up, her crimson cheeks like fire, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"

"It's okay, they're not here for you, it's a private matter, and they can't take care of it. ”

Jiang Feng sat up a little reluctantly, his eyes wandered over the woman's convex and delicate body, and Jiang Feng was so embarrassed that he could only cover his chest and abdomen with a pink belly pocket, and pushed Jiang Feng angrily.

"I'm afraid there are some important military affairs. ”

"Then get up. Zhou Rui was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head, this kind of daytime prostitution was despicable, and now she actually let the two important ministers of Huaiyou wait outside, Zhou Rui is really afraid that she will be notorious.

"Well, you rest for a while, and I'll come when I go. Jiang Feng can only get up, no matter how debauched he is, it is impossible for him to lose his hands in business.

Out of the inner room, turned into the flower hall, passed the corridor, and then went to the outer hall, but saw that the tea in front of Chen Wei and Cui Shang had run out of heat, Jiang Feng also had a hot face, and he snorted before asking the two.

Chen Wei and Cui Shang are not people who have nothing to do when they are full, since they are here at this time, and they know that Jiang Feng is upside down, and they still want to stick here, something big must have happened.

After reading the secret report, Jiang Feng's face also changed slightly.

He didn't expect the Caizhou army to come so quickly and attack so fiercely.

Although the news of the cycad back was only a prediction, Jiang Feng knew that at this time, he was afraid that the Caizhou army had launched an offensive.

"Bai Ling, what do you think?" Taking a deep breath, Jiang Feng held the armrest of the Hu chair, is this a punishment? As soon as he ***, Caizhou over there had already launched an attack on Bozhou, and if there was no accident, Bozhou was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the hands of the Yuan family.

The intelligence sent back by the cycads in the early stage showed that Bozhou's defense was chaotic, and Liang Xu was unable to control the entire Bozhou, and after Shang Yunliu's troops withdrew to Bozhou, the two quarreled, which added to the chaos in Bozhou.

Now Caizhou suddenly launched an offensive, with Caizhou's style of planning and moving, I am afraid that the Bozhou army has already arranged a fuzi, this internal and external attack, Bozhou does not lose is a strange thing.

"I'm afraid it's too late. Cui Shang is not in a good mood, although he also expects that Bozhou will not escape the hands of the Yuan family, but it is still a bit unimaginable at such a time, and more importantly, this will disrupt Huaiyou's arrangement of Xuzhou's strategy.

"It's too late, what should we do now?" Jiang Feng made a final decision, "Xuzhou cannot afford to lose, and the plan must be launched immediately." ”

Hearing Jiang Feng say that he wanted to start the plan immediately, the cheek muscles on Chen Wei's face subconsciously twitched a few times, and a bitter look appeared: "Your Majesty, this Luzhou and Haozhou are included in Huaiyou, there are many affairs, and the demand is very large, if it is ......"

Jiang Feng and Cui Shang both understood the reason for Chen Wei's ugly face, and they were also a little pitiful for each other.

Chen Weidang's long history is really not easy, this Huaiyou expansion speed is too fast.

From Gushi County to Guanghun Erzhou, it has not yet shaken off smoothly, Shouzhou has been incorporated again, Shouzhou is not better than Guanghun Erzhou, the forces are complicated, and after incorporation, Huaiyou's military strength has also expanded rapidly, infantry army, cavalry army, water army, everywhere need to spend, and it is so easy to re-straighten out the finances and taxes of these three states?

In particular, it is necessary to negotiate with the gentry of these states on matters such as land inspection, commercial taxes, and material monopoly, any of which can tear off a lot of Chen Wei's hair.

Although there is the assistance of Wang Huang and Du Tuo, Chen Weilai still has to worry about the specific general affairs, and the history of the Gwangju assassin is from the imperial court, so it also needs to be coordinated here; Huzhou is the old nest of the Chen family, and it must be settled; the three families of Shouzhou Umeda and Zheng are not good at stubble.

Unexpectedly, the affairs of these three states have not been properly handled, and the two states of Luhao have entered the right of Huai, and he is afraid that the defense and capture of the chief history will change to observe and deal with the history of the governor, and he will have to shoulder the affairs of the five states, which is not counting the two counties of South Yingzhou, and this is just it, and now Jiang Feng proposed to go north to Xuzhou.

Entering Xuzhou north is indeed a strategy that has been put forward a long time ago, but the original consideration was to spend three months to half a year to stably deal with the affairs of Luhao and the two states before doing this strategy, who knows that the plan has not changed quickly, and the rapid movements of Caizhou Yuan disrupted the rhythm of Huaiyou's side.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Wei also knew that now was not the time to be sad and entangled, as soon as Bozhou entered the hands of the Yuan family, the entire Huaibei situation was completely broken, if Xuzhou was not taken immediately, I am afraid that with the strength shown by the Yuan family, the generals under Shi Yu will inevitably have two hearts, and it may even evolve into a domino effect, and they have taken refuge in the Yuan family, which will really become the death of Huaiyou.

"What do you want to do?"

"It is necessary to immediately let the Seventh and Ninth Armies complete the refitting and reorganization, and the Huaiyou Cavalry also needs to complete the reorganization at the same time, and the existing Huaiyou Cavalry Army will be sorted out. Jiang Feng had also already considered, "The required war horses can be requisitioned and supplemented in the Huaiyou territory now, and continue to buy three thousand war horses from Guanzhong." ”

Hearing the words buy war horses, Chen Wei's flesh hurts.

This war horse is no more expensive than others, a very expensive, 3,000 war horses, according to the current price to Huaiyou, at least 60,000 taels of silver, that is, 6,000 gold, this is almost an astronomical amount.

It's not that Huai You can't scrape together this money, but it's only a small part of what is needed to build a cavalry all the time.

According to Jiang Feng's estimate, in addition to the existing horse armor and replenishment of these 3,000 war horses, it is estimated that another 3 to 4,000 war horses will be purchased one after another to solve the horse problem.

As for the armor and weapons, it is easy to say that Xuzhou and Nanyang can be provided, unlike horses that can only be replenished from Guanzhong.

After all these fragments and supplements, Chen Wei estimated that just to form a complete cavalry army of these two armies, he would probably have to invest 200,000 taels of silver, that is, 20,000 gold.

However, at present, the grain in the five states under the control of Huaiyou is still abundant, and Liangdi, Heshuo and Yanyunyi have soared because of the drought for two consecutive years, and the grain price in Songzhou has risen to 1800 Wen a bucket of rice, and in Yanyun Land, the grain price is as high as 4000 Wen a bucket, the white flour is as high as 7000 Wen a bucket, and the grain price in Xuzhou is also as high as 2500 Wen a bucket of rice, and the grain price in Shouzhou is only 500 Wen a bucket of rice, and the white flour is only 750 Wen a bucket.
