After the first month of various celebrations, people in Bianjing began to prepare for the Spring Festival even if they wanted to be lazy again. The thoughts of civil and military officials also shifted from those romantic and romantic songs and dances to official duties.

The first decree of the political affairs hall after the year was to collect rare stones, jade, silk and other objects from the south of the Yangtze River for the birthday of emperor Xiwen. The second decree was to start conscription throughout the whole territory of the great Zhou Dynasty and issue a husband exemption order. If you have money, you can use money to exchange for exemption.

The weather in February was still a little cold. The brazier in the hall was still burning vigorously, and the four corners were burning with a curl of fragrance, which made the whole inner hall a little erosive and dull.

"Brother, what\'s going on!?" Empress Dong is 40 years old. Although she is well maintained, she inevitably grows old. Her face is wrinkled together, and she asks with anxiety.

"Now that there is civil strife in Liao and the generals and troops on the border are in a state of chaos, it is a good time to send troops." Dong Xiang lowered his eyebrows and said, "this is what the Ministry of war told the emperor. I\'m afraid that Zhao\'s child and Wang Xiang have been planning this for a long time. Last year, Wudang\'s surprise attack on Huizhou was successful, and the emperor had already moved his mind."

"Didn\'t you mean to attack the party item?" Empress Dong said angrily with silk, because she said it was an attack on the party, and she also went to win over Wudang Gong and Sun Jing for this, which cost a lot.

"My mother also knows that there are nine states in the Sixteen States of Yanyun now in the hands of the Liao people. Starting from emperor Shizong, recapturing these nine states is my biggest wish of the whole Zhou Dynasty. Now that Zhao Mingliang wrote a letter that he was willing to lead the 300000 troops from Hebei Province to attack the Liao country, he was bound to recapture the nine states. The emperor is now in the mood, and those Qingliu students are shouting harder and harder. Now even Cheng Xiang\'s old fox nodded his head and bowed his official post What can one do? " Dong sighed.

"Eldest brother! What should we do now? If the Zhao family wins the war again, the crown prince will surely fall to the second prince." Empress Dong stood up in anger, and her voice grew louder.

"Don\'t worry, madam. I\'ve told the Emperor today to let Yang Zhao send troops from Yanmen pass and form a siege with Zhao Mingliang. Certainly, I won\'t let the war achievements be robbed by the Zhao family." Dong Xiang quickly waved to her to keep her voice down, and then looked out of the room.

"What\'s the use of that? Yang Zhao is just like our enemy now. It\'s not good for us if he gets the war achievement!" Empress Dong sat down and said angrily.

"Hey, my mother, it\'s not the officer who said you. Originally, our relationship with Yang Zhao has eased. As long as you treat his wife better this time and give her face, then we can still win this relationship. Hey..." Dong Xiang sighed.

Dong Huang changed his color behind him and said, "this time, the palace didn\'t bother her!" Seeing Dong Xiang\'s sad eyes, he loosened his breath again: "you also know the child\'s temper of Huayang, how can you not be so angry? But his wife is not all right? What\'s the best thing now?"

"Let Yang Zhao send troops together, but Zhao Mingliang and the Wang family will not want him to divide the military skills. We\'ll just watch next to him at that time." Dong Xiang took a sinister smile and said, "the mantis pounced on the cicada. Let\'s just be the Yellow finch."

"Big brother!"

"Don\'t worry, madam, there are many people who want Yang Zhao to die, and those who are more anxious than you." Dong Xiang laughed twice and got up to leave.

Walking outside the hall, Dong Xiang took a deep breath, looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and smiled darkly. Yang Zhao, give face shameless, then let me see where your pride can support you?

"Ask Yang Zhao to send troops from heishuiguan?" Zhao Mingliang turned to look at Zhao Laozi and said, "grandfather, what does Dong Xiang mean?"

Master Zhao sat on the armchair and squinted comfortably in the sunshine from the window. "It\'s a good plan to divide the troops and attack them together. The soldiers of heishuiguan will be brave and good at fighting, and will certainly be able to take half of your pressure away."

"Grandfather! It\'s obviously Dong Xiang who wants to share the merits of our Zhao family! Where do I need Yang Zhao\'s help? I have already agreed with Xiao sui..." Zhao Mingliang\'s voice paused and looked at Zhao Yinfeng who was striding into the yard.

"Grandpa! Brother!" Zhao Yinfeng entered the room and asked after saluting, "elder brother, should you tell me first when you call my soldiers?"

"Hum," Zhao Mingliang snorted and said, "I haven\'t moved your main force. Just keep Youzhou well."

Zhao Yinfeng was originally angry. Hearing this, he was almost ready to pat the table. His hands were raised, or he shook them into fists and put them on his side. Then he turned his head to master Zhao and said, "Grandpa, should you tell me what\'s going on?"

Master Zhao opened his eyes, gave Zhao Mingliang a deep look in his eyes, and then said to Zhao Yin, "this time, the emperor is going to use troops against the Liao state to recapture our lost Yanyun Jiuzhou. Mingliang volunteered to lead the army. He has obtained the permission of the emperor. The 100000 people under your banner will not move, and the rest will be mobilized by him."

Zhao Yinfeng sneered in his heart. With your Pewter head? Turning around, he asked, "brother, do you have any connection with Xiao Sui? That Xiao Sui is cunning and insidious, and his words are not believable!"

auzw. "You don\'t have to worry about it. For this campaign, the political affairs hall will allocate an additional 30 million yuan and 100000 soldiers to Zhao Jiajun on the two roads of Hebei Province. No matter what the war is, these people and money will not be fake." Zhao Mingliang snorted coldly.

"If the political affairs hall is so rich, can the military department make up for the military pay I owe?" Zhao Yinfeng sneered. Last year\'s military pay still owed 1 million yuan, and now it is said that it can take out 30 million yuan. I don\'t know what the reaction of heishuiguan who owed 2 million yuan will be.

"Don\'t worry about it. The money won\'t be short of you. You don\'t have to go out this time, so you can guard Youzhou well." Zhao Mingliang patted Zhao Yinfeng on the shoulder with his brother\'s friendly expression and said.

Seeing that master Zhao narrowed his eyes again and didn\'t make a sound, Zhao Yinfeng didn\'t say any more, so he turned and left master Zhao\'s study.

"Ming Liang, whispering wind has the talent of a great general. If you want to achieve great things, you must make good use of him. It\'s not good." When Zhao Yinfeng\'s heavy and powerful footsteps went away, master Zhao\'s eyes opened again and looked at Zhao Mingliang with deep eyes.

"I know, but this time I want to promote some generals. I have an agreement with Xiao Sui that I will send troops from Jinpo pass to attack yeluye\'s old headquarters in Yuzhou, and Xiao Sui will let us enter Guizhou into a double attack, and after cleaning up yeluye\'s troops, we will retreat." Zhao Mingliang smiled and said with a satisfied expression, "in this way, it should be enough for our Zhao army to promote several third-class generals!" Thirty million Guan and 100000 soldiers are in their pockets, and then they are divided into several generals. It\'s best to enter the guard army, and then the big deal can be achieved. And Xiao Sui also got rid of his big trouble, and the two sides benefited. As for Zhao Yinfeng, the benefit this time is not to let him touch it. In the future, there is more time for him to work hard.

"The emperor has agreed to send Yang Zhao to send troops from heishuiguan." seeing the proud smile on his grandson\'s face, Mr. Zhao stiffened and then cooled down, he added: "let the Ministry of war play, heishuiguan controls the two places in Liao, and the garrison troops cannot be small, and ask Yang Zhao to lead 30000 troops to rush from heishuiguan."

Zhao Mingliang\'s eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "30000?"

"Don\'t underestimate Yang Zhao\'s 30000 soldiers," said master Zhao, his eyes closed again, shook up his rocking chair, and said faintly, "he always wins more with less."

"Yes! Ming Liang understands!" Seeing that Zhao Laozi was tired, Zhao Mingliang quietly withdrew from the study. It\'s only 30000, and there are at least 150000 Liao troops in Shuozhou. Yang Zhao sent troops from heishuiguan. Shuozhou can\'t not know, or should we inform Xiao Sui in advance and let them prepare?

"Master..." the aide who had been sitting next to him as the background wall raised his head and looked at master Zhao and called.

"If Ming Liang can succeed this time, let him take over that position." Master Zhao said faintly.

"The third young master?" The staff couldn\'t help asking.

"Ming Liang took the position, and whispering wind would stay if he was willing to listen, and kill if he didn\'t."

"Yes!"

"Aiqing, come and have a look. This is a stone from Taihu Lake, which is better than the one I brought back last time in Hangzhou. Look at this wrinkle. What are you doing with your face open?" Seeing his explanation, Cheng Xiang seemed not to listen, and Emperor Xiwen said something unhappy.

"Emperor, you should be cautious about entering the Liao country." Cheng xiangshen said with a deep face.

"Doesn\'t it mean that now is the best time? This is the last wish of our ancestors. If I can do it today, I can\'t live up to the expectations of my ancestors." Emperor Xiwen sighed.

"Emperor, this time the Hebei and Hebei routes alone will increase military spending by 30 million yuan, plus the subsequent mobilization of armaments, but a big number!" Cheng Xiang followed emperor Xiwen.

"Don\'t you forget it? Can you take it out now?" Emperor Xiwen glanced at Cheng Xiang and said, "Why are you more stingy than me this time? Yuanshan, you said that if we can take back the Kyushu this time, we will also be remembered in history?"

Cheng Xiang smiled bitterly, knowing that it was useless to say any more, and said, "the minister seconded Dong Xiang\'s suggestion that Yang Zhao should lead the troops from heishuiguan to provide support." This is at least safer. Jia has always said that Yang Zhao is a strong general. With him, he can increase some chances of winning. I hope this 30million yuan can not be lost!

"Yang Zhao?" Emperor Xiwen looked at the next day and thought of Yang Zhao, who looked pale and haggard at the meeting. He looked like a sick beauty and said, "well, send him."

"Emperor Shengming!"

When Cheng xiangdao stepped back, the eunuch whispered, "don\'t you dislike Yang Zhao, emperor?" I heard that the man privately led the soldiers to Xiangyang. The emperor, you directly smashed your favorite tea bowl. Later, your heart ached half to death, and you were angry with Yang Zhao!

"I don\'t like it. It\'s better to change to a obedient one." Emperor Xiwen looked down at the flowers raised by the stone and said.
