Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

In the first month of the year when various celebrations are held, people in Bianjing, even those who want to be lazy, begin to make preparations for the spring. The minds of civil and military officials also turn from those romantic and romantic songs and dances to official business. above.

The first decree issued by the Political Affairs Hall after the year was to collect rare stones, jades, silk and satin from the south of the Yangtze River for Emperor Xiwen's birthday. The second decree was to start conscription throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty and issue a husband-free order. If you have money, you can exchange it with money. Exemption.

The weather in February is still a bit cold, but the brazier in the temple is still burning brightly, and the aroma is burning in the four corners, making the entire inner temple look a bit dull.

Brother, what's going on!? Empress Dong was already forty years old. Although she was well-maintained, she would inevitably age with age, and the wrinkles on her face were wrinkled together. She asked with an anxious look.

Now that Liao is in civil strife, and the generals and troops on the border are in a state of chaos, it is a good time to send troops. Prime Minister Dong lowered his eyebrows and said: This is what the Ministry of War told the emperor, I am afraid that this is the case for the Zhao family's son I have been planning it with Wang Xiang for a long time. Last year Wudang Kung successfully attacked Huizhou by surprise, so the emperor has already had his thoughts in mind.

Didn't you mean to attack the party? Empress Dong said angrily, because she said it was to attack the party, and to win over Wudang Gong and Sun Jing for this, the price was not small.

The empress also knows that the Sixteen States of Yanyun and Jiuzhou are still in the hands of the Liao people. Starting from Emperor Shizong, recapturing these Jiuzhou has been the biggest wish of everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that boy Zhao Mingliang has written a letter, willing to take 300,000 yuan from Hebei Province. The army has left the border to attack the Liao Kingdom, and it is bound to recapture the Nine Provinces. The emperor is now in high spirits, and those Qingliu students are shouting more energetically than the others. Now even the old fox Cheng Xiang has nodded, so what can I do if I am a subordinate? Dong Xiang sighed.

Brother! What should we do now? If the Zhao family is allowed to gain military exploits again, the position of crown prince will definitely fall into the hands of the second prince. Empress Dong stood up angrily, her voice even louder than before.

Don't worry, Madam. I have already told the Emperor today to ask Yang Zhao to send troops from Yanmen Pass to form an encirclement with Zhao Mingliang. We will definitely not let the Zhao family take away all the military exploits. Xiang Dong quickly waved his hand to ask her to keep her voice down. , and then looked outside the house.

What's the use? Then Yang Zhao is just like our enemy now, and his military exploits will do us no good! Empress Dong sat down and said angrily.

Hey, empress, I'm not telling you this. The relationship between us and Yang Zhao has already eased. As long as you treat his wife better this time and give her face, then we can still have a good relationship. Hey... Prime Minister Dong sighed.

Empress Dong's expression changed and she said: I did not cause trouble for her this time! Seeing Dong Xiang glance over with a sad look, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: You also know the temper of that child in Huayang, how could you not do this? Angry? But nothing happened to his wife? So what should we do now?

Let Yang Zhao also send troops together. However, Zhao Mingliang and the Wang family will definitely not want him to share the military merits. We can just watch from the side. Dong Xiang said with a sinister smile: The mantis pounces. Cicada, let’s just be that oriole.”

Brother!

Don't worry, my dear, there are many people who want Yang Zhao dead, some of whom are more anxious than you. Dong Xiang laughed twice, then stood up and left.

Walking outside the palace, Dong Xiang took a deep breath, looked at the clouds in the sky, and smiled sinisterly, Yang Zhao, you are so shameless, then let me see how far your arrogance can carry you?

You want Yang Zhao to send troops from Heishui Pass? Zhao Mingliang turned to look at Mr. Zhao and said, Grandpa, what does Prime Minister Dong mean?

Mr. Zhao was sitting on the armchair, squinting his eyes slightly as he felt very comfortable in the sunlight coming from the window, and said: Split your troops to attack and combine them. This is a good strategy. The soldiers of Heishui Pass Being brave and good at fighting will definitely relieve you of half of the stress.

Grandfather! It's obvious that Prime Minister Dong wants to share the war achievements of our Zhao family! I don't need Yang Zhao's help. I have already made an agreement with Xiao Sui... Zhao Mingliang's voice paused and he looked towards the yard where he was striding. Zhao Yinfeng walked in.

Grandpa! Big brother! Zhao Yinfeng entered the room, saluted and then asked: Brother, should you inform me first when you are calling my soldiers?

Hmph, Zhao Mingliang snorted and said, I haven't moved your main force. You just need to defend Youzhou.

Zhao Yinfeng was already holding back his anger, but he became even angrier when he heard these words. He was almost ready to slap the table, but he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist and placed it on his side. Then he turned to Mr. Zhao and said: Grandpa, should you tell me what's going on?

Mr. Zhao opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Mingliang deeply, and then said to Zhao Yinfeng: This time the emperor is planning to use troops against the Liao Kingdom to regain the Yanyun and Jiuzhou we lost. Mingliang volunteered to lead the army. It's already won. With the emperor’s permission, the one hundred thousand people under your command will not move, and the rest will be mobilized by him.”

Zhao Yinfeng sneered in his heart, just with your pewter spear head? He turned around and asked: Brother, do you have any connection with Xiao Sui? That Xiao Sui is cunning and insidious, and his words cannot be trusted!

You don't have to worry about this. For this campaign, the Political Affairs Hall will allocate an additional 30 million yuan and an additional 100,000 soldiers for our Hebei Zhao Army. No matter what the war is like, these people and money will never be fake. . Zhao Mingliang snorted coldly.

If Zhengshitang is so rich, can the Ministry of War make up for the military salary owed to me? Zhao Yinfeng said with a mocking look. He was still owed one million guan for military pay last year, and now he said he could come up with 30 million guan. I wonder how Heishuiguan, who was owed two million guan for military pay, would react.

Don't worry about it. Money won't cost you, and you don't have to go on an expedition this time. Just guard Youzhou. Zhao Mingliang patted Zhao Yinfeng's shoulder with a brotherly friendly expression and said.

Seeing that Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes and remained silent again, Zhao Yinfeng said no more, turned around and left Mr. Zhao's study.

Ming Liang, Yinfeng has the talent of a general. If you want to achieve great things, you have to make good use of him. This is not okay. When Zhao Yinfeng's heavy and powerful footsteps faded away, Mr. Zhao's eyes opened again. Open it and look at Zhao Mingliang with deep eyes.

I know, but this time I want to promote some generals. I made an agreement with Xiao Sui that I will divide our troops from Jinpiguan to attack Yeluye's old army in Yuzhou, and Xiao Sui will let us enter Guizhou to form a two-sided attack. After gathering Yeluye's troops, we will retreat. Zhao Mingliang smiled slightly and said with a satisfied expression: This should be enough for our Zhao family army to be promoted to several third-rank generals! Thirty million Guanhe Put one hundred thousand soldiers into the bag, and then divide them among a few generals. It is best if they can enter the Imperial Guard, then a big thing will be done. And Xiao Sui also got rid of his big worry, and both parties benefited. As for Zhao Yinfeng, it is better not to let him get the benefit this time. In the future, there will be many times when he needs to work hard.

The emperor has agreed to send Yang Zhao to send troops from Heishui Pass. Mr. Zhao saw that the proud smile on his grandson's face froze and then turned cold, so he added: I want the Ministry of War to report that Heishui Pass will control the party Xiang Liaoguo. The garrison troops in both places cannot be reduced, and Yang Zhao is required to lead 30,000 troops to rush to the reinforcements from Heishui Pass.

Zhao Mingliang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: Thirty thousand?

Don't underestimate Yang Zhao's 30,000 soldiers, Mr. Zhao closed his eyes again, rocked the rocking chair, and said calmly: He has always defeated more with less.

Yes! Ming Liang understands! Seeing Mr. Zhao showing fatigue, Zhao Ming Liang quietly exited the study. There are only 30,000, and there are at least 150,000 Liao troops in Shuozhou. Yang Zhao is sending troops from Heishui Pass. Shuozhou cannot possibly not know, or should they inform Xiao Sui in advance so that they can make preparations?

Master... The staff member who had been sitting next to him as the background raised his head, looked at Mr. Zhao and called out.

If Ming Liang can succeed this time, then let him take over that position. Mr. Zhao said lightly.

What about the third young master? The staff couldn't help but ask.

Ming Liang has taken over the position. If Yin Feng is willing to obey, he will stay. If he doesn't, he will be killed.

yes!

My dear, come and take a look. This is a stone from Taihu Lake. It's better than the one I brought back in Hangzhou last time. Look at the wrinkles. Why are you looking so miserable? Cheng Xiang looked like he was explaining this. Without even listening, Emperor Xiwen said somewhat displeasedly.

Your Majesty, you still have to be cautious about entering the Liao Kingdom. Cheng Xiang said with a solemn face.

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

Your Majesty, this time there will be an additional military expenditure of 30 million guan in the Hebei and Hebei provinces alone, plus the follow-up mobilization of armaments, it's a huge sum! Cheng Xiang said following Emperor Xiwen.

Don't you forget it, can you take it out now? Emperor Xiwen glanced at Cheng Xiang and said, Why are you stingier than me this time? Yuanshan, tell me, if we can take back the Nine Provinces this time, Can you and I leave our names in history?

Cheng Xiang smiled bitterly, knowing that it was useless to say anything more, so he said: The minister seconded the proposal of Prime Minister Dong, and Yang Zhao led the troops to send troops from Heishui Pass to respond. This is at least safer. Jia has always said that Yang Zhao is He is a fierce general. Having him can increase the chance of winning to some extent. I hope these 30 million won will not go to waste!

Yang Zhao? Emperor Xiwen looked at the sky, remembering that Yang Zhao he saw at that court meeting was pale and haggard, looking like a sickly beauty, and said, Well, just send him.

Your Majesty!

After Cheng Xiang left, the eunuch said softly: Your Majesty, don't you like that Yang Zhao? I heard that that man secretly led troops to Xiangyang. Your Majesty, you just smashed your favorite tea bowl, and later you were heartbroken to death. , and even more angry at Yang Zhao!

I don't like it. It would be better to find someone who is obedient. Emperor Xiwen lowered his head to look at the flowers growing next to the stone and said.
