Iron Dynasty

Seize Union State!

King Yong showed a surprised look.

Xiao Ming nodded lightly, Exactly, this time King Liang dispatched a large army, and Liang Guo must be empty inside. At this time, if the emperor took the opportunity to take Bingzhou, he could easily take it.

It's just that the nephew of the alliance of the three kings in the city of Yunzhou can stop it? King Yong was a little worried. Now that he has Xiao Ming as his army, he naturally has to consider Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming said to himself: Uncle Sanhuang, don't worry, even if I can't defeat them in the wild, I can defend Yunzhou City with these forces, and when I learn that Bingzhou is besieged, King Liang will definitely lead an army back. Uncle and I can set up an ambush on the way back to King Liang's army and annihilate them in one fell swoop, and the lack of King Liang's army in the Three Kings Allied Army will inevitably drop in morale at that time.

My nephew is thoughtful, and the uncle will do it. King Yong said.

Xiao Ming heaved a sigh of relief. King Yong's resignation surprised him a bit. This was the greatest good news before he ascended the throne.

Although King Yong's ability to manage fiefs is not very good, he still has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, and these soldiers can become one of the factors affecting the war at this time.

However, when King Yong was attached, he couldn't help expressing it. After all, people's hearts were unpredictable. This time King Yong was loyal to Xiao Wenxuan's edict. Reassure King Yong.

So he said, It is reported that the emperor's uncle is currently in short supply of military salaries and provisions, and his nephew has already prepared 300,000 taels of silver and 500,000 stone of food for the emperor. Compared with these materials, the emperor's uncle can be in a hurry.

King Yong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he was worried about this. Since the famine occurred in Yongdi two years ago, the Qinglong King gathered a rebellion, and the barbarians looted and slaughtered Yongdi, which made the treasury of Yongdi very difficult. difficulty.

Because of this, he knew that he was not Xiao Ming's opponent at all.

My nephew, it's still you who think about me. This time, the uncle has tried his best to take Bingzhou to you. King Yong laughed.

Xiao Ming showed a smile. He was also helpless. He knew about King Yong's current situation. Without the support of these salaries and provisions, King Yong's army would probably run away halfway.

Because the purpose of the people of the Great Yu Kingdom is very simple, it is to have a mouthful of food. If they have no food to eat, most of them choose to be deserters.

This is why the ancient army had the habit of looting, especially when there was insufficient food and grass, the generals in the army often indulged the soldiers to loot the captured cities, because in this way the soldiers had the desire to attack the city.

In this way, my nephew is waiting for the good news from the uncle. Xiao Ming said to King Yong, but he was prepared to send King Yong to attack Bingzhou this time.

If King Yong captured Bingzhou, everyone would be very happy. From then on, King Liang's general vigor would be greatly damaged. If King Yong could not capture it, he would be able to surround Wei and save Zhao, which would be enough to help him defeat the coalition of the Three Kingdoms.

After discussing the matter, the two chatted for a while. At the end of the enthronement ceremony, there were still the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and the worship of the ancestral temple. This matter naturally required King Yong to come forward.

After all, King Yong now also belongs to the highest-ranking elder among the royal clansmen, and King Yong readily accepts this.

After settling this matter, King Yong returned happily. At this time, he was sincerely happy. This time, he expressed his loyalty to Xiao Ming and got so many materials. He seemed to return to the time when Xiao Wenxuan was in power. At that time, Xiao Wenxuan also always will solve his immediate needs.

After sending King Yong away, Xiao Ming got up and walked towards the side hall of the palace. The matter of King Yong and King Huainan needed to be hanged.

At this time, the messenger sent by the King of Huainan was chatting with Concubine Zhen in the side hall. However, unlike the general mission, this time it was Princess Li, the Princess of Huainan who came to Qingzhou.

Niangniang, speaking of which we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. The last time we met was on the emperor's 50th birthday.

In the side hall, Concubine Zhen sat in the main seat, and below Concubine Zhen sat the Princess Li of Huainan.

This Li's age is similar to that of Concubine Zhen, and even though the years have passed, it is difficult to hide her natural beauty. Holding one hand with Concubine Zhen, Li's demeanor is intimate, as if she and Concubine Zhen have been close friends for many years.

Li Shi's words made Concubine Zhen echo the past, and her eyes couldn't help but have a hint of melancholy. In a short period of time, things were right and wrong, which made people lament, but she knew the role she should play at this time, so she smiled and said: Sister said What's more, Ben Gong remembers the time when my sister brought Xue'er to Chang'an, even though Xue'er was only twelve years old at that time, she was already a little beauty, I don't know what kind of son-in-law my sister has chosen for her now.

Niangniang actually still remembers this ghost girl, hey, don't mention it, this girl has been spoiled by His Highness, and at this age, she is not a person who can't be seen, just say that today's princes are all waste, if She will marry someone who can be as arrogant as His Royal Highness King Qi. Li said seemingly unintentionally.

Concubine Zhen rolled her eyes, and she said, It's understandable that beauties have loved heroes since ancient times. Now that Ming'er already has a concubine, Ben Gong thinks that he should also choose a side concubine for him to continue his descendants. After all, this royal family is right and wrong. More, more inheritance can ensure that the incense will not be extinguished. At that time, this palace also thought about Xueer, but I was afraid that Xueer would not look down on this position of concubine and let it go.

Niangniang is worrying too much. Now that His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, this concubine will soon become an imperial concubine. This status is worthy of her. The only thing I'm afraid is that the empress will not look down on this girl. Li Shi smiled. flowers.

Concubine Zhen also stretched her brows. This Li's meaning is very clear. Fei Yue'er is the queen, but her daughter is to be a royal concubine. This is the bargaining chip.

Although she never intervened in government affairs, she also knew that it would be difficult for Xiao Ming to quickly stabilize the North without a few capable helpers.

So she said, I like Xue'er's girl at first sight. Since this is the case, Ben Gong has agreed to this matter. I hope my sister will send Xue'er to this Qingzhou someday.

Niangniang, it's simple. After returning home, my sister will send a letter to His Highness and ask him to send someone to bring Xue'er. Li Shi was full of joy.

This imperial concubine is the first person under the empress, and she is not wronged to her daughter.

The two talked for a while, and then Mrs. Li got up and left.

As soon as Mrs. Li left, Xiao Ming walked in from outside the side hall. Concubine Zhen glanced at him and said, This matter has been decided for you by the concubine, the king of Huainan wanted her daughter to be the imperial concubine, but now It seems that the only person who can marry you is the King of Huainan, as long as the King of Huainan can respect his orders, this imperial concubine will not lose anything.

That's the only way it can be now. This king can count on him to contain King Chu and King Yan. Xiao Ming said slowly.
