Time Traveling Routine Movie King

Gray colors appeared in the sky above the Duhufu on a winter night. The deep gray indicates that heavy snow may come at any time. The howling north wind is the quiet contrast between the sky and the earth. In the dark city, many people are lighting charcoal fires. and oil lamps.

Because of the abundance of turpentine, iron braziers are hung above the halls of many houses, and the turpentine is burning in it. In addition to a little smoke, this cheap fire can also increase the indoor temperature.

The city patrol soldiers of the Duhu Mansion patrolled the city neatly. The foundations of many newly planned shops can already see the specifications of the houses, and the stacked materials are piled aside. Such areas appear in many places in the city. .

Then the city gate is close to the direction of Daming Mansion. Part of the city gate and the city wall have been demolished one after another. The other part of the new city wall has risen to several meters high, and the scope of expansion is very large. Some of the busy teams are lighting braziers and bonfires at night. construction.

The entire Protectorate Mansion was a busy scene.

The five hundred cavalry led by Xiao Yan were waiting outside the north gate, hiding like ghosts in the dark night.

"The number of cavalry I can organize now can reach [-], but when it comes to cavalry combat, my army is definitely not an opponent of the Khitan cavalry. Even if it wants to win, it must be several times yours, or combined with infantry, which is a war of attrition. Let us The more I fought before, the more my advantage became less and less obvious, or even narrowed." Shen Bai analyzed while sitting in the hot spring.

"Why? I don't understand when you say that. Your army's fighting power is several times stronger than that of Ji Yuan before, and it is the best I have ever seen in my life. To be honest, my Black Wolf Army, except for the elite of the White Wolf Army Besides, I really don't pay attention to other cavalry, but look at the strength of your infantry, if you cooperate with artillery, then it's okay?" Xiao Qi said in admiration.

Shen Bai smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, but this is where the problem lies."

"How do you say it?" Xiao Qi is obviously also a military fanatic, with a persistent spirit.

"Long-distance expeditions, infantry speed is not enough, but now, the heavy snow has arrived, my army does not have the advantage of speed in maneuvering, so when fighting against your Khitan cavalry, at least one has lost the opportunity. You have forgotten the reason why Germany was able to fight in World War II. Was Invincible so powerful in the early stage of the war? The perfect coordination of diplomacy and military, as well as the flexible use of blitzkrieg. But what about our era?" Shen Bai said seriously.

"Then what do you think of Yelu Anqi's offensive in winter?" Xiao Qi asked.

"I have already analyzed it in front of Yu Wentuo. What I am very afraid of is that Yelu Anqi crossed the Yellow River and drove straight in with the help of the Yellow River's freezing."

Xiao Qi supported the hairless part of his head with one hand, thought for a while and said: "It's really possible that he did it."

"That's why, if I wait for my infantry regiment to slowly arrive at the Yellow River, I'm afraid the battle is almost over. Look at what happened overnight when I destroyed Yelu'an, who can react to it? You, can you save him?" Shen Bai asked him back.

Xiao Qi shook his head: "Immortals are hard to save, everything happened too fast, if it wasn't for Yu Wentuo's hype, I'm afraid our side wouldn't know the result."

"That's because he used me to attract your attention, so that I, who is currently the top horse, will fight against your main force. If there is a delay, his Northern Yuan Army can reversely consume Yelu Anqi, and in the process of attrition, the Southern Yuan Army will be exhausted." If it is overwhelmed, the Khitan's combat power is almost no longer a big threat. Then, once he is free to deal with He Yuantong, the mere party project will not be successful." Shen Bai analyzed decisively.

Xiao Qi let out a long breath: "Whether it's Yu Wentuo or you, I don't want to be an opponent. I'm not afraid of death when it comes to charging and fighting, but I'm so aggrieved by the fear of death."

"But Yelu Anqi is also such a person. He can bear it this time, which shows that this person's strategy and concealment are not inferior to me and Yu Wentuo." Shen Bai is very clear about his opponent and attaches great importance to it.

"I have a hypothetical question?" Xiao Qi suddenly raised his hand and said.

Shen Bai smiled and slapped his hand: "Do you think we are in school? Is there anyone sitting naked in the pool for class?"

Xiao Qi also laughed: "Occasionally, I miss it like this. I just want to say, if, I said, if Yu Wentuo gave you command of the main force, are you sure to sweep from Liaodong to Northwest?"

"No." Shen Bai said bluntly: "My army is not a machine, and it is even more impossible to open water with you so blatantly. Moreover, I can't always be so lucky and strong, and win every battle. In this world, there is no Invincible Commander!"

"Is there no invincible commander in this world?" Xiao Qi finished speaking in doubt, and looked up at the sky, "This kind of cloud layer will snow heavily in two days at most, I am destined to be able to hide in Maodong in Zhongdu, and my The beauties hang out. But you are in a difficult situation, how are you planning to arrange in Yunzhou?"

"I want to transfer [-] troops to Yunzhou, and leave [-] to Liaodong, but I really don't have much confidence in fighting cavalry in winter." Shen Bai said bluntly.

"Your cavalry suffer the bitter cold of winter, and so do Yelu Anqi's."

"But we are passive and don't know it! No one knows when the war will start, just like the Korean peninsula. Every time they shout fiercely, but in the end they intimidate each other, hoping to scare away the opponent at the critical moment. But the fact is that once the opponent does not retreat, the only option is to exchange life for life."

"It's true to life, and the metaphor is also appropriate." Xiao Qi said: "I have to go back later. In the middle of this year, I will focus on the East China Sea Jurchen. The cavalry will not come down. Don't worry, but I am strategically It's hard to help you."

Shen Bai nodded: "Well, there is one thing that you have to know in your heart."

"What?" Xiao Qi knew that the serious topics Shen Bai said were very important, so he listened with extra attention.

"When your emperor can't do it, or I've exhausted Yelu'anqi in Beiyuan or Northwest, you have to snatch the throne accurately. If you're not sure about solving the problem in the country, I didn't say it. It's best if you're sure."

Xiao Qi thought for a while: "What if you are not sure?"

"Then I will find a way to create opportunities for Yelu Anqi to suffer a big defeat in life. You just need to know how to step on him." Shen Bai said without much confidence.

"I can do this, Shen Bai, if I can become the emperor of Khitan, if there is something wrong with you in Yuwentuo, come to Khitan, and I will sit with you." Xiao Qi promised.

"Thank you!" Shen Bai smiled.

"A tiger's poison does not eat its children, don't think that he will kill your nephew, your own life is also your own life!" Xiao Qi said utterly, but Shen Bai had no reason to be angry or refuse.

"I remember!"

The night conversation between the two ended here, the area between the Duhu Mansion and the Central Capital is no longer so deceptive, and it will become more and more difficult for them to meet and talk.

Seeing Shen Bai who was beating his horse and leaving, Xiao Qi felt very emotional. His words of protection to Shen Bai Xu were not hypocrisy, but the truth, but he had a choice, and he didn't want to be his enemy.

November [-]th, the day of the court meeting.

The Secretary of the Household Department knelt in the Ming Hall to report on the military supplies: "All the treasury silver accumulated by the imperial court in the past few years, the Household Department can check 6705 million taels, and the gold reserves are not counted, but in the second half of this year alone, 690 million yuan was spent. Ten thousand taels is really too much, and if things go on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to make ends meet, Your Majesty!"

"Liaodong spent one year's military expenditure at once, which is naturally a bit big, but next year at least one of the guards will not be in charge, and there are a lot of wars this year, so it's normal to spend a lot, right?" Yue Wang Yuwenzhen asked. The two positions next to him have been changed, and he is the most important among the royal family.

"That's true, but Liaodong's current business is in full swing, and I'm afraid there will be income soon." A courtier said.

Yu Wentuo looked at the courtiers: "Which one of the Duhu Mansion was not directly supported by the court before, and what income did it have? Not to mention that there is no business in Liaodong, as far as the victories they have fought, it is nothing if they spend so much money in vain. Well, there is no need to discuss this matter again, the generals are out, don't let them chill."

Yu Wentuo's words were extremely gentle, even if he favored Shen Bai, he didn't mean to criticize the courtiers.

"But Your Majesty, there is conclusive evidence that Shen Bai enriched his own pockets and colluded with merchants. He holds shares in Tongyuan Bookstore in Bianjing. Qin Yu, the shopkeeper of Tongyuan Bookstore, bought a large number of Zhuangzi outside, and sold all the food to Liaodong. Please investigate this matter." Concubine Zhuang's father, Gu Changyong, saw that Yu Wentuo could not be persuaded by the speaker, so he went on stage and said it himself.

"Oh?" Yu Wentuo showed a displeased expression: "Marquis Wan Jin, do you buy Qin Yu's food?"

Wan Jinhou Huang Liuqi dragged his fat body out of the line, and knelt down on the ground: "Return to the emperor, there is indeed a purchase!"

The courtiers made an uproar, if the Governor of the Protectorate Mansion is pocketing his own money, that's fine.

"What's your purchase price?" Yu Wentuo asked.

Huang Liuqi took out a small half-folded account book from his body and turned it over. He was a businessman, and many courtiers looked at it with mocking expressions.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the grain Qin Yu sold to Liaodong is cheap grain, and the price is extremely low." Huang Liuqi replied.

"Wan Jinhou is the marquis strongly recommended by Shen Bai, so naturally he prefers Shen Bai." Gu Changyong said sarcastically.

Huang Liuqi said indifferently: "The Ministry of Households pays the money, and the minister is responsible for the purchase and transportation. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Minister of the Ministry of Households."

After speaking, he handed the account book to the Minister of the Household Department.

The Minister of the Household Department took over: "Returning to the emperor, Wan Jinhou is right. Qin Yu is indeed selling grain at a low price, and some of our supplies are purchased through the relationship in Liaodong, and the price is even cheaper than what we buy in Bianjing."

Yu Wentuo nodded when he heard this: "You must put your mind on the outside world, don't think about how to make trouble for your own people, the so-called incompetent family does not know how expensive the firewood is, and the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, any big man who protects the mansion It’s not easy being a governor.”

Yu Wentuo's words made Gu Changyong's old face turn red, stealing chickens would cost him nothing, and he scolded the person who provided the information in his heart.

And Yu Wentuo didn't say anything about him explicitly, but every sentence hit him in the face, which really made him look ugly in front of the civil and military courts.
