Luocheng, Zhongzhou Thorn History Mansion

Sitting in the seat of the assassin, An Mingqian's heart was dripping blood, and many soldiers died because of his momentary mistakes. An unprecedented sense of guilt permeated his heart. Although 10,000 of the most elite cavalry were saved, and Zhongzhou mobilized the defenders of Chongzhou in time.

did not let the Xishu army take advantage of Zhongzhou, as for the tens of thousands of soldiers who died. Tax exemption for two years, this matter is basically over, although the cavalry has also lost thousands, but how to deal with it is more than 100,000 gold coins. For the wealthy Zhongzhou, it is a year's tax revenue in the city.

It can be said that the loss this time was completely recovered within two years by relying on Zhongzhou's own people's and material resources. If An Sishun of Yecheng can also give support, allocate money and food, etc. Then, next year, An Mingqian will be able to launch another attack on Xingzhou.

However, the cries of the son who lost his father, the wife who lost her husband, and the old man who lost his son still made An Mingqian unforgettable. That's right, this time he beheaded the main force of the Xingzhou army, and even dedicated the head of General Hua Dingshan to his father.

No one in the court of Yan dared to gossip about him at all, and his father, An Sishun, even issued a commendation. He has officially granted An Ming Qiandai the seal of the Heavenly Patrol Hunt, and gave him the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, a gold and silver chariot driven by six horses, and allowed him to provide for the official Son of Heaven 5,000 guards.

In other words, the personal guard iron cavalry he brought back can be officially called the Son of Heaven guard in the future. Moreover, when An Sishun received the head of Huading Mountain, he had already issued an order from the Son of Heaven.

The palace was built in Luocheng, and 300,000 people were levied from Tongzhou, Chongzhou, and Yecheng Gyeonggi, and 2,000 skilled craftsmen were mobilized from Yecheng. The four generals of An Sishun will be the chief eunuch - Hera Ganda, who personally served as the main person in charge of the palace.

Seeing such a gift from his father, An Mingqian felt even more depressed in his chest. invited Ji Shang and Cui Xilie over to discuss the matter.

Our army lost the war, but my father wanted to celebrate my achievements. Although my Yan country has not been full of disasters and disasters in the past few years, it is not a rich year, so it really shouldn't be such a big construction. I've seen the specs in it.

It is too much to consume our national strength, and it is really impossible. Tell me how to stop my father from wasting his country's strength.

An Mingqian doesn't like to look in the mirror very much, if he goes to look in the mirror now. You will definitely find that your face is surprisingly bad.

His Royal Highness the Prince, although our army did not achieve the strategic goal of attacking the northern part of the country, it did hit the military strength of the Xingzhou army and beheaded their general Hua Dingshan.

Next year, our army will attack again, and it will be able to achieve success. Therefore, it is not too much for His Majesty to reward His Highness. Why don't Your Highness gladly accept it, if you refuse Your Majesty's kindness, or even annoy Your Majesty because of it. That's more than worth the loss.

Ji Shang spoke first, as the prince's military advisor, he would naturally consider it from the prince's position first. The life and death of the people of the world have nothing to do with him, after all, his reward is not issued by them.

His Royal Highness the Prince, Cui's director is a soldier. From the perspective of soldiers, there are advantages and disadvantages to building a palace at this time.

Cui Xiyeol still spoke so emotionlessly, no matter how many migrant workers died. For him, it's just a number. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with him in the first place.

This makes this palace curious, sir, please advise.

At this time, An Mingqian had naturally changed into a gown and no longer wore battle armor. Therefore, they no longer call themselves generals.

His Highness must know more about the disadvantages than I do. It is nothing more than a waste of national strength. As for the benefits, it is also related to this.

His Highness is so worried because after the national strength is depleted, our army will not be able to attack next year. But in fact, our army failed to suffer a great defeat this time, and Xiao Yi destroyed it in one fell swoop when he fled.

We have already lost the opportunity to attack the criminal state, and in a short time, it will not appear again. First, after this setback, Xiao Yi will definitely not easily drive the expedition in person. Second, although the loss of Yangjun's soldiers and horses is large, he has been replaced with a new general, Hua Ming, who is in full swing, and has made great achievements to successfully take over Yangjun's soldiers and horses.

Therefore, our army does not have the opportunity to try to take the state again in a short time, because even if we can mobilize 100,000 troops to the south next year. As long as Huaming is based on the strong city of Yangjun, it will be difficult for our army to do anything.

Third, this time, the Western Army will inevitably take the opportunity of rescuing the criminal state to reach an alliance with it, even if our army wants to attack again. It should also be dismantled first.

At this time, if we build a palace to weaken ourselves, we can give the Xingzhou and Xishu army a sense of weakness. If it is combined with rumors such as His Royal Highness's illness. After two years, they will inevitably make moves.

After all, whether it is the Western Army, or the Xingzhou or the East China Sea Imperial Court, they all covet our Xingzhou. At that time, our military will have the opportunity to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop and then take advantage of the situation to seize land.

After a long meal, Cui Xilie still had a red face and red ears. And An Mingqian fell into deep thought, such a plan was really Cui Xilie's handiwork.

Suddenly, An Mingqian got up, knelt on the ground towards Cui Xilie, and said:

At that time, in the battle of Blue Mountain Fort, I did not need to say what Mr. said, which led to a crushing defeat for our army. An Mingqian is ashamed of the people of the world and Mr. Please, sir, inflict fifty lashes on me, and from this day onwards he will be my teacher.

If you were a disciple before, please punish the master.

There was a thunderstorm, so that Cui Xilie, who had always been light and light, and saw life and death, didn't know how to deal with it all of a sudden.

Please Mr. fulfill, in charge of An Mingqian, is when Mr. looks down on me as a student.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited to get up quickly, and Cui is obedient.

On the second day, there was news that the crown prince An Mingqian was infected with wind and cold, and at the same time appointed Ji Shang as the chief secretary of Luocheng, and he handled all the government affairs and military affairs of Zhongzhou.

News of this event soon spread throughout the world

Xingming City, Chengming Palace

Wei Shanben pampered the three Mei Ji he had just accepted in the main hall, and the news suddenly made him even more refreshed. On the same day, there were three more concubines in his palace, and I don't know if there will be three more princes or princesses.

Of course, he also ordered his son Wei Bai to rectify the soldiers and horses of the Lanqing camp and prepare to attack Zhongzhou through the Thunder Pass. With an order, the elite of the 100,000 Western Garrison Army suddenly boiled.

Donghai City, Yuehai Palace

Xiao Shi was teaching this Nirvana Sutra to his close ministers and chamberlains, Xiao Shi was extremely Buddhist before he became emperor, and after seizing this half of the country, in addition to maintaining the balance of the court. His main experience was in the study and teaching of Buddhist teachings.

Hearing the news, Xiao Shi just sighed. A few days later, many generals asked to go to war and recover Zhongzhou. Xiao Shi was like an old monk who had settled down, as if he had not fallen asleep, as if he had not woken up. After tossing the generals of the Shaozhuang faction for a day, they broke up unhappily.

Penal Prefecture, Liang Wangfu.

Good, good, good. Karma, sent an order to Hua Ming, and asked him to rectify the soldiers and horses of Yangjun County, waiting for the opportunity to dispatch.

Then Xiao Yi had no follow-up.

Although the Xishu army gathered 100,000 elites, when Wei Bai came out of the Lei Pass, he found that the Yan army's deployment in Zhongzhou was not in the slightest disorder. After a few months of hard work, he could only consume food and grass in vain. In the end, it was to no avail.
