. “What the Mother Concubine taught me is.”

Xiao Ming smiled and was surrounded by Xiao Wenxuan. Concubine Zhen knew more about the court than he did. As Concubine Zhen said, among the officials of any dynasty, There are always contradictions.

This problem is also inevitable for him, and what he should do is how to use this contradiction to make the government more peaceful.

For this reason, he has not relented on the issue of the Ninth Assistant to the Cabinet, in order to allow the two groups of officials to turn conflicts into motivation for handling government affairs and make the internal affairs run more smoothly.

At the same time, officials who dislike each other can also play a role in mutual supervision. This is like the ruling party and the opposition party, who can identify corrupt officials in the other camp during the quarrel.

“Okay, think about this for yourself. Yue’er and I went out to watch a play. It is said that there is a new play coming out in this theater.” Concubine Zhen just passed by the main hall and came in to take a look.

Xiao Ming nodded and said to Qian Dafu who was following Concubine Zhen: “Steward Qian, pay attention to the safety of my mother and concubine.”

“Your Highness, as long as the old slave is here, there will be no problem.” Qian Dafu said with a smile.

With Liuli’s help, the three of them slowly walked out of the main hall. Xiao Ming stretched and walked outside.

In the past five months, he has not had a day’s work, teaching grassroots generals, supervising production in various industries, writing books, and training new soldiers. At the same time, a bumper harvest years ago made the feudal country’s granary rich.

And Yue Yun’s return from the Three Mountain Kingdom carrying 800,000 shi of food made Xiao Ming even more confident.

Everything was gradually completed through his efforts. Xiao Ming turned his attention to Jinling City again. It was time to take action. He still had many enemies and could not keep spending with King Wei.

Moreover, the sooner we capture Wei, the less losses we can suffer. The King of Wei’s scorched earth policy in Yangzhou last time caused him a lot of headaches.

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye. After the New Year, the weather gradually became warmer and the snow on the road melted. At this time, Xiao Ming urgently ordered Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun to return to Qingzhou from the cities they were guarding.

After the order was issued, Ye Qingyun arrived at Qingzhou via sea route, while Lu Fei arrived earlier than Ye Qingyun.

After the two returned, Xiao Mingxuan and Niu Ben went to the main hall to discuss matters.

“Your Highness, are you ready to take action?” Lu Fei asked excitedly.

Xiao Ming looked solemn and said: “Yes, the half-year period has arrived. Now it is time to take Wei in one fell swoop. But how are you two training the new recruits?”

Ye Qingyun said: “Your Highness, the final general is trained. The new recruits can join the battle at any time.”

“There will be no problem with the new recruits.” Lu Fei is very confident. Not only have the recruits he recruited now been trained, but they all have standard equipment.

Xiao Ming nodded. At this time, he stood up and faced the map on the wall of the main hall, and said: “Lu Fei, when you go back, you will be responsible for pretending to attack Chuzhou. Ye Qingyun and Yue Yun will help you reach the gate of Jinling City and capture the thief Xianqin King. If Jinling City can be captured directly, the Wei region will be in chaos, and it will be easy to capture other states and counties.”

When the two heard this, their eyes flashed with strange light. If this plan succeeds, all the Wei regions will be merged into the feudal state. In the national territory, with a wealthy Wei land and the Musketeers, King Zhao would not be their opponent.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun stood up at the same time and saluted Xiao Ming.

At this time Niu Ben said: “Lu Fei, after you go back, you will send troops to Chuzhou on February 6th. Ye Qingyun, after you go back, you will send troops to Jinling City on February 15th.”

The two nodded after hearing this.

After setting up a battle plan against Wei, the entire feudal kingdom began to move. Li San’s secret guards continued to pass information on Wei to the army. At the same time, a batch of grain and grass arrived in Pengzhou from Yizhou.

After Lu Fei returned to Pengzhou, he immediately led 45,000 people towards Chuzhou. As soon as the army moved, spies from Wei quickly spread the news to Jinling City.

“What! Lu Fei’s army is marching towards Chuzhou?” King Wei almost jumped up from his chair in the palace of King Wei.

“Your Highness, it is absolutely true that this time the Southern Expeditionary Army has 40,000 to 50,000 people coming to Chuzhou, and there are more than 100 artillery pieces. This King of Qi is preparing to completely destroy us.” A man from Chuzhou The wealthy man said tremblingly.

The face of King Wei was extremely ugly, “Xiao Ming, you bastard, what a bullshit truce contract, this is a trap, it is a trap!”

All the Wei officials in the main hall were frightened. This Chuzhou is only three hundred miles away from Jinling City. , now they have no retreat.

Xiao Han’s face was even uglier than that of King Wei. He had never been a vassal king for a day, and now his country was about to be destroyed. How could he be willing to do so? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: “Father, Xiao Ming must despise our compensation.” The money is too little, we can continue to cede land to pay compensation.”

King Wei said angrily: “Idiot, what Xiao Ming wants now is not land or money, he wants my life, there is no use giving him anything, I run Wei. I have been living

in the land for more than 20 years, but I didn’t expect that today I would make clothes for others.”

Sitting down slowly, King Wei looked crazy: “Xiao Ming wants a rich Wei land to dominate the world, but I will not give him this opportunity. Immediately inform the generals of Chuzhou to burn everything in the city, including Shouzhou, Taizhou, Suzhou, and Jinling City. Burn everything

! “

“No, Your Highness. “

“…”

All the ministers in the main hall shouted. Xiao Han also felt cold in his heart. He looked at his father. At this time, he was no longer the all-powerful King of Wei, but a madman.

“Father, if everything is burned down, we will definitely die without a burial place. Now the only way is to cede the land.” Xiao Han persuaded hard. He was willing to exchange all the cities in Wei for the prosperity and wealth of Jinling City.

“Shut up. I knew I shouldn’t compromise in the first place. You are all weaklings. Now that Xiao Ming is forcing me to fight, I will fight with him. If any of you dare to say no again, don’t blame me.” I am ruthless.”

After saying this, King Wei suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and opened his eyes angrily.

The ferocious look of King Wei shocked Xiao Han and all the officials. They had never seen King Wei look so ferocious.

After glancing at everyone, the King of Wei said: “Xiao Ming has gone too far to deceive others. Please gather your servants quickly. I don’t believe that Wei’s 400,000 troops can’t defeat Xiao Ming’s men.”

Xiao Han and the officials said to each other. At a glance, in the past six months, King Wei summoned soldiers from various states and increased the garrison of Jinling City to 200,000 people. All these actions were to deal with Xiao Ming’s threat.

But no one expected that Xiao Ming would attack immediately after the Chinese New Year.
