Chapter X

Early the next morning, Li Jiutang hurried to the cabinet, needless to say, he also knew that there was a detailed military report in Huizhou.

Not long after, Qin Kang, Xu Nan, and Chen Zongxiang took Li Jiutang and Hubu Shangshu Meiyin to the three auxiliary ministers and ran towards the Heart Cultivation Hall together.

In recent years, the Yangxin Palace has been Cao Ju's stay for the longest time, and most of the books that deal with daily affairs and auxiliary ministers are also discussed in the Yangxin Palace.

When Qin Kang and the others arrived, Cao Ju was teaching King Zhao and military affairs, and he knew that the picture he hung was from Huizhou at a glance.

After a little thought, the ministers understood a lot. Chen Zhong took the military report, which was very thick.

After so many years, Cao Ju has long been overjoyed and angry, and the worst ending for him has survived, the worst time Da Zheng lost nearly five states, and he himself was confused, and the court in the army had to deal with the Quartet soldiers and the province to investigate, which was really difficult.

Take it and take a look at the beginning, the pen is the joint name of the commander of the Huizhou Weidu and the history of the Huizhou assassin.

In Zheng State, the military and government are separated, and if the military and political heads of a state jointly sign a letter, it will inevitably be a major event.

Cao Ju had a bad premonition, and secretly prepared to look at it.

But soon Cao Ju knew that he was superficial, and he thought that he had never seen anything in the wind and waves, joy and sorrow, especially in recent years, there has not been much good news and bad news one after another, either there is a fight here or there is an official coercion, and the people are rebelling.

Superficial, Cao Ju's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and the anger in his heart spread to his hands, and the military newspaper was fractured by the fingers.

Boom!

Cao Juqi kicked the case table over, and slammed the military newspaper in his hand to the ground, panting heavily.

This action was expected in the hearts of all the people who came, Li Jiutang was the first to receive the military report and dropped two cups, and then immediately ran to the cabinet, snorting, Qin Kang was the second, Shoufu was more arrogant and smashed a chair, Xu Nan and Chen Zongxiang were not as good as Li Jiutang and Qin Kang, but they scolded and scolded in their mouths, completely ignoring their usual cultivation, Cao Ju just kicked a chair.

"Kill it! Damn it! Cao Ju's eyes were red, and he roared, and he couldn't tell that this was the middle qi that an old man in his seventies could have.

The palace people inside and outside the hall were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and couldn't get angry, you must know that Cao Ju has been very particular about qi cultivation in recent years, but he has been excited twice in the past two days, once is a big victory, everyone is happy and happy, but this time it is really the anger of thunder.

"Li Jiutang!" In a hurry, Cao Ju began to call him by his name.

"What about the news from the Ministry of War? There are more than two million people in six counties, and it is impossible for none of them to escape, huh? "And with a heavy nasal voice.

Li Jiutang stubbornly said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, it can be confirmed that Yasukuni has indeed dispatched more than one million troops, and Jinghe has now unified the two Jings and subdued Han Ji, and the three kingdoms have sent hundreds of thousands of horses, these nearly two million people are almost catching up with the population of the six counties, the entire Linhai County has been sealed, the defenders of the six counties have been wiped out, and the people are nowhere to be seen!" ”

"Bastard, such a big thing, Jin Yiwei didn't have any report in advance, what about Gao Yeyong? Pass him and let him come to me. ”

Chen Zhong hurriedly sent Xiao Huangmen to call, and handed over a bowl of ginseng tea by the way, with a look of urgency.

Qin Kang took advantage of this gap to take out the plan formulated by the cabinet and the two ministries of the military household overnight yesterday and submitted it.

Cao Ju took it and looked directly at the final statistics, and looked at it very carefully.

"In the end, a total of 300,000 armored soldiers and 860,000 people?"

Hearing Cao Ju's question, Qin Kang stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it was enough for us to have a total of 300,000 elite combat, and then levy and send 860,000 people to be responsible for logistics and transshipment, but what the military report said today is really outrageous, so the ministers think that this small night must be extinguished with the power of thunder, otherwise the power of heaven will not exist." Therefore, in addition to the 100,000 soldiers of the two guards of Longxiang, the 50,000 soldiers of the northeast camp and the 150,000 soldiers of the seven guards, it is also necessary to transfer the first guard of Longxiang and 50,000 soldiers to the southeast. At the same time, conscripts from all over the country took over the defense of the states, and each state left a battalion of veterans to enrich the officers of the new army, and the rest were transferred to Huizhou, and the two battalions in the northwest and southwest were mainly to defend stability, and the southwest battalion was dispatched with 100,000 elite reinforcements, and if necessary, some of the northwest elites were mobilized, and all the five armies were transferred to Huizhou, so as to destroy this beast division within half a year. ”

Although Cao Ju was still very angry, at least he was still sensible, and asked: "There are only 150,000 horses in the southwest camp, will the transfer of 100,000 at once have an impact on the southwest?" Zhang Pan in the northwest is already in a weak position, how to ensure the safety of the northwest by transferring troops and horses? ”

Qin Kang was obviously prepared to reply: "There are many mountain passes in the southwest, mainly with 50,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest camp, supplemented by 60,000 horses in Shuzhou and Yizhou, even if there is a battle, it will not be a problem to hold on for half a year. As for the northwest, it is only in case of emergency. You can also send an order, and the Eight Soldiers Mansion urgently recruits soldiers Ding Liang's family, and the requirements can be relaxed during special periods, and my Dazheng belongs to the 40,000 people, even if you choose one out of a hundred, you can get 4 million. ”

Cao Ju nodded slightly, but still advised: "Qin Qing's family is thoughtful and feasible, but now is the busy farming season, remember not to exceed, for the levy of the righteous people must be properly settled, the silver money is enough to chill the hearts of the people." ”

"Your Majesty loves the people like a minister, and he will not dare to slack off."

"Also, I know that there are always and a lot of unruly people, but the battle of Huizhou is very important, even if the enemy's combat strength is weak, there are millions of people, if anyone dares to do something despicable at this juncture, don't blame me for not making it clear in advance: the Nine Clans are punished!"

When the last few words were spoken, everyone felt the majesty from the emperor, and a word could decide the life and death of ten thousand families, even Qin Kang felt a sudden cold on his neck.

Until he left the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qin Kang had palpitations, and when he turned around, King Zhao walked out of it.

"Your Highness." Qin Kang saluted first.

Cao Ke hurriedly replied: "Great minister." The emperor's grandfather told Xiao Wang's cabinet to listen, and hoped that the prime minister would give him more advice. ”

"Don't dare, it would be great if King Zhao's young talent could come to the political hall."

In the face of this first assistant who has been in charge of the court for more than ten years, even the crown prince Cao Yin does not dare to exaggerate in person, Qin Kang himself has the weight of a word in the court of Zheng Guo, and everyone has to pay attention to it, Cao Ju let Cao Ke's cabinet listen to his intentions are self-evident.

"Ke's knowledge is shallow, and the fatigue is too much."

"King Zhao, please."

"Minister, please."

The two of them rushed like crazy, the brocade clothes on their bodies were not properly dressed, one hand covered the hat, and the other hand pressed the straight knife on the waist.

Zhang Xiyang, who had been waiting outside the palace, was about to stop him when he stepped forward, he has now become the personal guard of Cao Ke, the king of Zhao, Cao Ke hurriedly pressed Zhang Xiyang's hand to draw the knife and said: "The person who comes must be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Lord Gao Ye Yonggao, the entire palace can be equipped with a knife and can rush to the purple robe in such a hurry regardless of etiquette." ”

Zhang Xiyang hugged his fists and said yes, and when the people ran in and saw that it was Qin Kang and Cao Ke, he immediately stopped in a hurry to salute, and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, the prime minister, the lower officials are inconvenient today, and they are offended if they are not careful, and if they come to the door to apologize." ”

After speaking, he didn't care if he had a reply, so he hurried to the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and knelt at the door with a plop.

Just kneeling straight and straight, Zhang Xiyang followed Cao Ke and walked forward, according to the rules, he couldn't look left and right to look back, but even the back of his head felt that feeling.

As the name suggests, Linhai County faces the sea, and consists of six counties, from east to west, they are Huoyang County, Dongwang County, Liuyi, Wuqing County, Beize County, Huoyin County, and the county is governed in Beize County. It is the county with the least number of counties in Zhengguo and the county with the smallest population, but the place is not small at all, and there are many mountains and rivers in the territory, the most famous mountaintop lake in Zhengguo is in Beize County, Linhai County, and there is also the largest salt field in Zhengguo in Huoyang County.

Zhang Xiyang followed Cao Ke into the political hall and saw the huge sand table and map in the center at a glance, the six counties on the sand table were planted with dense Jingzi small pennants, on the other hand, the red Zhengzi flag appeared to be few and thin, scattered around Linhai County to form a very thin encirclement.

The clerks in the government hall went in and out with the files, and the officials of the military department and the household department were arguing, and the spittle of both sides flew wildly, but there was hope that the restraint of the efforts of the two sides would spray on each other's faces.

I don't know who saw Qin Kang and the others who came in first and shouted, "Old Qin Ge is back!" ”

"See His Royal Highness King Zhao, I have seen Qin Ge Lao."

Cao Ke said kindly: "You adults don't have to be polite. ”

Qin Kang also stood up and said: "Send the latest news, continue, this pavilion will have a final decision in half an hour." ”

After speaking, he and Cao Ke entered the inner hall, while Zhang Xiyang stood guard at the door with a sword, looking at these Sven people who were usually humble and gentlemen in front of him, who were more rude than the rough men in the army at the moment.

A red-robed official who seemed to be from the military department shouted there: "Ruyan penetrated into the enemy, and now the enemy is stationed in the land of six counties with millions of people, and I don't know what to do with the internal defenses, and the people who are immortal are military rations, who can be the internal response, how many sergeants are interspersed with the enemy in such a situation?" How many people? How many people are less? The mountains and rivers in the six counties are dense, why do they turn in quickly? If there is no way to respond to the advance, wouldn't it be a move to death? ”

Another red-robed official sprayed back directly: "It's just stupid, the art of war has clouds, and those who fight with the right combination win by surprise, this is a miracle soldier, and the camera will have a miraculous effect." ”

The red-robed official who shouted at the beginning became even more angry: "Lu Zhong Zhiru This is talking on paper, how far are the six counties?" There are hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers in each county, who do you want to intersperse and transfer? ”

The official who was called Lu Zhongzhi smiled contemptuously: "Reckless man, your Wang Fu is the view of a reckless man." The total grain of the entire Linhai County does not exceed 10,000 stones, and millions of people eat and drink what they eat and drink every day? Even if the enemy army transferred food from overseas, it would be nearly 5,000 miles back and forth by sea, and how many ships would be needed for this? ”

Wang Fu was speechless for a while.

Lu Zhongzhi struck while the iron was hot and said: "The grain and grass will advance without squeezing or retreating, so that the enemy army will inevitably attack from all sides to attack our three counties of Zhoushan, Ningchong, and Futong, and there will be gaps in the enemy's movements. ”

Lu Zhongzhi's voice was so sonorous and powerful: "Besides, it's not a surprise attack now, the order to transfer troops was only issued today, no matter how fast the nearest Long Xiangwei is, he has to set off tomorrow, and he marches forty miles a day, and occasionally marches sixty miles in a hurry, and the fastest time he arrives in Huizhou, it will be a month later." Even if Huizhou Wei gathers troops, it will take a few days, and during this period, it is naturally mainly to defend steadily. Besides, the enemy soldiers could not come from afar just for a Linhai county, if the enemy moved before our army gathered, then the entire Huizhou Guard could be turned into a surprise soldier on the spot to drag the enemy army. ”

Zhang Xiyang originally thought it was just a rhetoric when he heard it, but when he heard it, it seemed to be very reasonable, but when he finally heard about the entire Huizhou Wei, he felt that it was shallow after all.

The officials of the Ministry of War were ready to cooperate as much as possible under Mei Yin's frequent advice, but the officials of the Ministry of War immediately came to their senses, and everyone was in a hurry, and they came to the conclusion that they would need three million taels of silver in the first two months alone.

Qian Qing's heart began to gallop, and he couldn't stop the car. These calves are sucking when they catch milk, and they beep while sucking, and you say they are not angry.

Moreover, this year's summer tax will not be able to enter the warehouse until early June at the earliest, and now there is not much surplus food in the house of the God of Wealth.
