Bianliang Palace

Today, Chai Rong was in the morning, his face was not very good, and he coughed twice from time to time. After hearing this, the ministers were also anxious in their hearts, Chai Rong was a good emperor, he had already captured half of the Southern Han Dynasty, and if he was in control today, he could unify the Central Plains with a little effort.

If Chai Rong fell ill at this time, it would be a bad thing in the world. It is not easy for the Central Plains to form the current situation, and other forces must not be allowed to take advantage of it, and they must be taken in one fell swoop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow is not in good health today, and he has something to do early. ”

"The minister has something to do. ”

"Performance. ”

Fan said: "The Khitan took advantage of our army's attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty to unite with the Northern Han with the intention of annexation. Fortunately, Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, resisted desperately to let the Khitan army stop in Cangzhou. Now General Zhang Yongde and General Zhang have sent an urgent report that the Khitan army is not on the offensive, and he asks His Majesty to send troops to reinforce Cangzhou. ”

"Hmm~ This is a big deal, and it is certain that I will send reinforcements, but we must discuss the details carefully. Chai Rong said: "Retreat to the dynasty first, Zhao Kuangyin, Fan Zhen, Wang Bo, Wei Renpu, Pan Mei, Zheng Ziming, and Li Chongjin all come to the imperial study with me." ”

Everyone looked confused, and they didn't know what Chai Rong was doing. But Chai Rong had already made an order, and no one dared to object.

Chai Rong took a step first, and the rest of the people walked towards the imperial study together. All the way, I was discussing, what Chai Rong was going to do.

After coming to the imperial study, Chai Rong's performance surprised everyone, and everyone was thinking about the same question, this grandson won't live long......

Chai Rong was chewing a whole root of ginseng in his hand, and it seemed that he was quite enjoyable. There is a bowl of bird's nest porridge next to it, and a lot of cordyceps sinensis is placed in the porridge. There is also a pot of tea, but there is no tea leaves, in addition to the tea in the tea bowl, it is deer antler slices, the color of the tea is still red, I don't know how much deer blood is put in it.

Chai Rong dipped the ginseng in the sauce, chewed two bites and drank some porridge, and then took a sip of tea. Every bite I take feels like I enjoy my expression, but the other people look at it...... It's a little uncomfortable.

Don't say you can eat these things on the table, just looking at them is a big supplement. Chai Rong actually ate like this, could his body stand it? If Chai Rong was not a martial arts practitioner, he would be able to vomit blood after eating a meal.

"Your Majesty, your body is too weak, can you stand eating like this?"

"I can't stand it...... The widow really can't stand it, but it's not okay if you don't eat, your health is getting worse and worse, and you need to make up for it. Chai Rong said depressedly: "You are all your own people, and the widow's health has not been good recently, so what about it...... Let's go to war. The widow decided to drive the expedition himself, beat back the Khitan grandsons, and by the way, recover the sixteen states of Youyun and get rid of the troubles forever. ”

Everyone knows that if the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun return to the hands of the Central Plains, then Cangzhou will have no pressure at all, and the Great Wall alone can keep the Khitans out.

How many years did the Great Wall take to build? Dynasties and generations have been building it in order to defend against these foreign states. But when Shitang Jing betrayed the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, he sold the Great Wall to the Khitan together, which was the biggest gain of the Khitan. As long as you can cross the Great Wall, you can save a lot of trouble for the Khitan.

If Chai Rong can really recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Great Wall will return to the control of the Great Zhou, and it will be basically impossible for the Khitans to invade the Central Plains. With such a good guard as Fu Yanqing stationed, they couldn't even cross Cangzhou, let alone the Great Wall.

Everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, everyone can see what the situation of the Central Plains is, if the sixteen states of Youyun can be recovered, the Central Plains can be unified more effectively and safely.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and recovering the sixteen states of Youyun is definitely the desire of the people. As long as this is done, it will definitely not be called a meritorious service, and it will directly change the relationship between the Central Plains and the Khitan. In the future, it was no longer the Khitan pressurization, but the Central Plains to the north.

"Your Majesty, can you do it with this body?" Zhao Kuangyin said with concern: "The ministers have no opinion on the crusade against the Khitan, but Your Majesty does not need to drive the expedition in person, as long as a will, the ministers will raise troops to the north and go directly to Cangzhou." ”

"No, no, no, the widow must go in person, staying in the palace will not be ......able to hold it sooner or later" Chai Rong said embarrassedly: "Don't ask anything else, anyway, the widow has made up his mind, and he must drive the expedition against the Khitan." By the way, how many soldiers did Zhang Yongde bring to Cangzhou?"

"It should be thirty thousand. ”

"That widow also brings 30,000, which can't be more than Zhang Yongde. After arriving in Cangzhou, he didn't care about 3721, he rushed out directly to fight to the death with the Khitan army, and if we win, we will chase, and if we lose, we will retreat. Chai Rong's mind seemed to be a little unconscious, but the others didn't dare to say anything because he was the emperor. Maybe it's also the food that caught fire, and the fire has burned out the head.

"The rest of you will discuss it for yourselves, and report what you need. Let's hurry up and set off to fight the Khitan, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. ”

said it was a discussion, but in fact, Chai Rong was talking to himself. Everyone could see that Chai Rong's real purpose was to leave the palace, and it didn't matter to him whether he fought the Khitan or not. Is the palace so scary?

No one knew what was going on, but Zhao Kuangyin knew it very well. Because of his relationship with the two sisters Fu Xuanyi and Fu Xuanci, he knows Chai Rong's private life well. Fu Xuanyi is desperate, Fu Xuanci is desperate, and the goal of the two sisters is to squeeze Chai Rong dry.

In Chai Rong's answer, a man is a cow, a woman is a field, there are only tired cattle, and there is no ploughed field. The two sisters took turns to serve Chai Rong, and the serving Chai Rong couldn't stand it.

After I couldn't bear it, I had to use medicine, starting from the most basic cordyceps, giving Chai Rong tonic little by little, and continuing to cultivate after eating the tonics.

In fact, the two sisters also take some tonic medicine themselves, but they don't need it much. Two women against a man, and with the help of medicine, Chai Rong's body soon failed.

After Chai Rong returned to Bianliang from Shouzhou, his body has not healed. In fact, Chai Rong's body originally had no major problems, as long as he recuperated for a period of time. But the complete emptiness of the body that was tossed by the two sisters Fu Xuanyi and Fu Xuanci was supported by a mouthful of internal force.

As the emperor, Chai Rong can refuse them, but Chai Rong has not accompanied them for a long time in order to crusade against Shouzhou, and he feels a little guilty in his heart. What's more, Fu Xuanyi is still the queen, and the queen must be satisfied if she needs to be the emperor, so Chai Rong has never refused.

Now it's really not going to work, and Chai Rong can't think of a reason to refuse their two hungry wolves. So they had to find a reason to leave the palace, and after they left, they couldn't chase after the Khitan. Chai Rong just wants to go to war and recuperate for a few months, as for whether he can recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, it is secondary.

Even if Zhao Kuangyin knew about it, it would be impossible to say it, but in fact, most people guessed what the reason was, but they didn't understand it so comprehensively.

After Chai Rong was full, he pillowed his head with his hands and began to close his eyes to recuperate, and the others began to discuss.

"The Khitan army is not easy to deal with, because it is a Khitan iron cavalry, fast speed and high combat effectiveness, in addition to the lack of organization, the Khitan iron cavalry can be said to be the strongest army on land. Li Chongjin said: "Although we also have the Ao Gang Iron Cavalry cultivated by Master Zongxin, the movement speed is too far behind the Khitan Iron Cavalry. As long as the Khitan iron cavalry does not come hard, our cavalry will not be able to catch up with others at all. ”

"That's true, but we can't give up just because it's not easy, we have to find a way to do it now. Zhao Kuangyin said: "The biggest advantage of the Khitan iron cavalry is mobility, their speed is very fast, but as long as their war horses can't run, their combat effectiveness is not as good as the ordinary infantry." You want to make their horses unable to run...... Actually, I have a solution. ”

"Say it quickly. Fan Zhen trusts Zhao Kuangyin very much, although Zhao Kuangyin is sometimes stupid, but he is still very useful when it is critical.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "No matter how powerful the war horse is, it is also a beast, there is still a difference between a beast and a human, to put it simply, a beast is very stupid." We are all people who have fought all their lives on the field, we actually know the habits of horses very well, horses' sense of hearing and smell is far more acute than that of us humans, in fact, horses are very afraid of large beasts such as lions and tigers, no matter how well trained the war horse, in front of large beasts will still be frightened, when the time comes, the knight can not control it at all. ”

"There is some truth, but ...... It's useless. Wang Bo said: "Zhao Kuangyin, can you catch thousands of tigers and rush towards the Khitan army at the same time? How can there be so many tigers in the world for you to catch? And how can the tigers listen to you? Let them rush forward?"

"I can't control the tiger, if it's a giant wolf...... I can take advantage of it. Not to mention, there are still hundreds of giant wolves. ”

Fan said: "Zhao Kuangyin, you mean to use Zongxin's large number of mounts White Wolf?"

"Half guessed right, Master Zongxin's white wolf mount is indeed negotiable, it can help me, but it won't rush towards the Khitan army at the same time. At most, wander around the cavalry regiment, because Xiaobai can't let his clan be hurt because of me, if it's Zongxin, Xiaobai can sacrifice regardless of it, but I don't have this face. Don't look at Xiaobai as a wolf, that guy is much smarter than people. ”

"If it's just to limit the cavalry, maybe it won't have such a good effect. Li Chongjin said: "There must be a reason for the horses to be frightened, if the wolves are just wandering around, the war horses will only be worried and afraid, and will not be afraid to be what you think." ”

"That's why I said that Fan Xiang only guessed half right, and the remaining half depends on our majesty. ”

"Oh~~ And my business?" Chai Rong suddenly sat up and said excitedly: "Tell me quickly, in fact, the widow has been pretending to be asleep just now, just to hear how you deal with this matter." Zhao Kuangyin really did not disappoint the widow, if you can come up with a way to crack the Khitan Iron Cavalry, let us rush north out of Cangzhou in one fell swoop, and the widow will give you the crown. ”

"Your Majesty, we must speak with our conscience. The last time you killed the Southern Tang fleet, you were already a vassal as the king of Pingnan, so it's not appropriate to seal another one. ”

"Eh~~ Then seal another one, how about letting you take the two princes' Yulu?"

"It's okay......" I want to talk about "The Imperial Robe" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
