Iron Dynasty

In the main hall, the atmosphere is a little stagnant.

Xiao Ming and Hongyun looked at each other for a long while, and Hongyun sighed slightly, It's only half a year, why does His Highness treat the slave family like a stranger.

Miss Hongyun, let's talk about business, do you still want to talk to me and me, day and night? Besides, you and the Wang family have always been entangled, don't you know that you are the king? Xiao Ming said lightly.

Hongyun chuckled lightly, Your Highness is really different from the past. It seems that His Royal Highness has really been holding back for the past five years. Hongyun also wondered why a dignified prince would hang out with this royal family.

Xiao Ming frowned and remained silent.

This red cloud was first met by Xiao Ming at the Wang family's banquet. That night, Wang Shijie sent this red cloud to Xiao Ming's house, and Xiao Ming was very happy at that time.

It's just that now things are right and wrong, Xiao Ming looked back again, and naturally he was a little more wary of this red cloud.

Turning around and looking at the peach blossom trees in full bloom outside the main hall, Hongyun continued: Now that the Wang family is destroyed, the slave family has no scruples. His Royal Highness's body is full of gold, and Hongyun also knows that he is not worthy of entanglement with His Highness. Have a prosperous day.

After saying these words, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he didn't recognize people when he put on his pants, but that it had nothing to do with him when he took off his pants.

However, in memory, this Hongyun was a very shrewd person, and now it seems that he is so.

If she and Xiao Ming were distressed, they would definitely be kicked out, but now taking the secrets of the Wang family to hand them back, it would be a great achievement.

Whatever you want, as long as it's not too much, this king will agree. Xiao Ming said, he should help his predecessor pay off the debt.

Hongyun thought for a while and said, I hope Your Highness will redeem the slave family and prepare some money. From now on, His Highness and the slave family will never see each other again.

Well, this is simple. Xiao Ming pondered: This king can promise you, now you can tell what the secret of the Wang family is?

Hongyun lowered her head and seemed to be weighing what to say. In the end, she said, Wang Chengchou colluded with the Huyantuo Department to prepare to attack Qingzhou in late autumn and early winter this year.

What! Xiao Ming's expression changed greatly when he heard the words, This matter must not be a joke.

Hongyun said: The slave family was in the Wang family's mansion at the time, and I overheard it through the Wang family's father and son's room. I thought it was just a joke by the Wang family's father and son, but when I returned to Qingzhou Hongyun, I learned about the barbarian cavalry. As the father and son of the Wang family said, the barbarian cavalry entered Qingzhou through a cave in Cangzhou to explore the way.

Xiao Ming's expression became solemn. Only a few people such as Lu Fei knew about the cave in Cangzhou.

Crazy ministers and thieves! Xiao Ming slammed his fist on the table. In history, there have been frequent collusion between frontier nobles and foreigners. I didn't expect such a thing to happen on his own fief.

Hongyun sighed, Although the slave family is a female, but they also know the country and the world, I came here to tell you, I hope that His Royal Highness can play to the court and prepare as soon as possible.

Thank you Miss Hongyun. Although the girl is in the dust, she is not allowed to be a man. She knows more righteousness than some men. Xiao Ming chuckled lightly.

Hongyun shook his head, The slave family is nothing but a girl, and all I want is to be able to live in peace and stability, and I don't want to see the world being ruined.

In any case, the news of Miss Hongyun is very important. This king will ask the housekeeper Qian to redeem Miss Hongyun, and prepare another 5,000 taels of silver. Xiao Ming said.

Hongyun nodded, gave Xiao Ming a deep blessing, turned and walked away slowly.

Looking at the figure of Hongyun leaving, Xiao Ming thought about it. From the beginning, he was puzzled by the barbarian cavalry that appeared in the hinterland of Qingzhou.

The cave Lu Fei had been to was very hidden, so how could the barbarians know about it? The only explanation was that someone colluded and told the barbarians the news.

Recently, the barbarians suddenly banned the sale of war horses, and now it makes sense. Before the war, the sale of war materials was banned. This is the harbinger of the war.

But now that the Wang family has been removed by him, the Huyantuo department has no internal response person, and it is not clear whether the plan will change.

If this is the grand strategy of the barbarians, I am afraid that regardless of whether the Wang family cooperates, the barbarians will try to attack Cangzhou.

Half a year! It's terrible. Xiao Ming stomped his feet.

Barbarians, this is a threat that always hangs on the head of the Great Yu country like a sharp sword. The defeat of several wars has made the civil and military officials of the Great Yu country talk about barbarism.

The current Dayu Kingdom is no longer an enterprising country in the early days of the founding of the country, but has become a conservative country. For these officials, the only concern is how to maintain the domestic rule of the Dayu Kingdom, while the threat to the barbarians chooses Step back.

Paying tribute and ceding land seems to have become a panacea for dealing with conflicts with the barbarians, but the wolf is not enough to feed, but the barbarian is a wolf who cannot be fed.

This matter is of great importance and endangers the safety of his fief. Xiao Ming cannot ignore it.

And he had to admit the fact that the barbarians had a relative advantage over the Great Yu Kingdom in the military. Because of the chaos in the horse administration of the Great Yu Kingdom, there were basically no regular cavalry units in the Great Yu Kingdom.

This also resulted in the fact that the Great Yu Kingdom was basically on the defensive and the attack was insufficient, but the barbarians could come and go freely and were very passive.

However, in Xiao Ming's view, in every war against the barbarians, the factors of failure are many.

In a war, soldiers' training, discipline and will to fight are very important, and now the army of the Great Yu Kingdom lacks the will to fight against the barbarians, and the training and discipline are relatively weak.

So in the war, when the advantage has been lost, it is even worse.

It looks like it's time to start propaganda and create hatred. With his hands behind his back, Xiao Ming slowly walked out of the main hall. Only by letting the people of the fiefs hate the barbarians to the bone can they unite against the barbarians in the future.

Otherwise, the people are full of fear of the barbarians and have no will to fight, and his fiefs are still very dangerous.

After leaving the main hall, Qian Dafu had already sent Hongyun away. He said, Your Highness, Miss Hongyun is gone, hehe, Your Highness seems to have really changed. Now this girl is no longer there.

Does this king have time to indulge in women's sex now? Hongyun said that Wang Chengchou once colluded with the barbarians and planned to attack Cangzhou this autumn. Now we should worry about this. Xiao Ming said sternly.

Qian Dafu's face changed suddenly. In his eyes, Xiao Ming saw fear, and he said, Your Highness, how can this be good? Let's go to the emperor. The barbarians have always been thieves in the Central Plains. It seems that this It's a comeback again.

Presentation? Hmph, he didn't take care of the king's life three years ago, will he take care of it three years later?
