Xu Qian, with a sword handle, sits in the main seat of the assembly hall.

When he sat in this position, people did not respect his reputation or fear his accomplishments.

Theoretically speaking, Xu Qi'an's official position is the leader of the watchman's Yamen. His power and position are comparable to those of the court. Even if he has no real power, his official hat is bigger than Yang Gong, the governor of Yizhou.

"Just say it, I'll listen."

Xu Qi'an looked around the officials on both sides and made a start.

He was a complete layman in marching and fighting, transferring grain and troops, stabilizing the rear and so on.

In these areas, it's OK to come up with ideas and point out the shortcomings. It will only get in the way for him to make overall plans and arrangements.

Yang Gong nodded and took over Xu Qi'an's voice

"There are three things to discuss with you in this meeting, namely, money and grain, military resources and defense line.

"Among them, money and grain are closely related to military resources. After the fall of Qingzhou, although we took most of the military supplies, the shortage of money and food has always plagued us.

"The grain and grass transported from Zhangzhou sank into the river not long ago, and all the troops escorting the grain and grass were destroyed."

Zhangzhou is one of the granaries of Dafeng, with the most abundant grain and grass reserves. Ten days ago, during the negotiation of peace, Zhangzhou's fleet to Dafeng was attacked, and the grain and grass sank into the river, but the accompanying troops were completely destroyed.

This is the purpose of Yunzhou rebels to cut off the grain and grass transported to Yongzhou.

Dafeng has a vast territory, whether by sea or by land, the road is very far away. During the escort process, the enemy ambush is inevitable.

Of course, the Dafeng army also sent elite experts to sneak into Yunzhou and Qingzhou to intercept the road.

At this time, what we are fighting for is the material details of both sides and the number of experts.

Compared with Dafeng, the biggest advantage of Yunzhou is the lack of strategic depth. Yes, small site also has small advantages, which means that the escort distance is short, the terrain is not complex, and the probability of error is correspondingly reduced.

Li mubai pondered:

"Yongzhou is rich and well-off, but on the one hand, it needs to stabilize the victims and on the other hand, it needs to support the army for at most one month. After one month, we will be searching for" people's fat and people's cream. "

Xu Erlang chimed in

"If we recruit soldiers, we can greatly reduce the cost of money and food."

Those who eat free food will be incorporated into the army to maximize the utilization of resources.

Li mubai said in a deep voice:

"In this way, it can last three months..."

He took a look at Mo sang, a soldier in the Department of Li Gu beside Miao Youfang

"Two months is no problem."

The officials and generals were silent and frowned.

The problem of money and food has always been the primary problem facing Dafeng. Without money and food, what kind of war can he fight?

I can ask the flower god to ripen a batch of grain, but it's just a drop in the bucket..... Xu Qi'an thought of the spirit of the flower god.

However, I immediately felt that this proposal was not reliable. The food mu Nanzhi could ripen was limited, and how much food did the imperial court need? How many mouths to eat? It's not an order of magnitude, but this method can be used for emergency.

At that time, the flower god will cry and say: No, not a drop!

When Xu Qian thought of this, his mouth turned up.

"Dong Dong!"

He knocked on the table a few times to attract people's attention and said:

"Your majesty will set up market towns and switch markets in Chuzhou and Yuzhou. It won't take long for Dafeng to have enough food."

Immediately informed the public of the policy of Huaiqing court meeting.

It will take time for imperial decrees to be introduced into the States, which is certainly not as fast as the "secret agents of Tianji Palace" and organizations that rely on teleportation to deliver messages.

Of course, when sun Xuanji's transmission array is completed, the speed of message exchange in Yongzhou will be greatly increased.

"Wonderful

Zhang Shen stroked his beard with a smile

"These two decrees can solve Dafeng's urgent and worries."

The establishment of market towns and the opening of Guanshi can fill the national treasury and solve the urgent problem of the empty national treasury of the imperial court. Taking back the abandoned farmland will enable the refugees to have farmland to cultivate after the Spring Festival.

Nowadays, it's very easy to pacify the people. If you give him a few mu of land, it will be difficult for the rebels in Yunzhou to recruit refugees as cannon fodder.

Li mubai said with admiration:

"When your Majesty was studying in Yunlu academy, he showed his outstanding practical ability. Now it is a great blessing for the common people to visit Dabao. "

People began to praise, compared with Yongxing, the empress ascended the throne to let them see the hope.

Perhaps only Xu Yinluo had the courage to support a woman to ascend the throne.

The officials and generals looked at Xu Qi'an with admiration, but when they saw the hilt on his head, they lowered their heads and did not make themselves laugh.

Yuan HUFA's blue eyes swept over the crowd. His lips moved and he was about to open his mouth. Sun Xuanji handed the cup to him and said without expression:

"Drink!"

Yuan HUFA quickly opened his mouth and took a drink to swallow the words.

The officials and generals, sweating in their hearts, cast grateful eyes at sun Xuanji.

If what they said was read by Yuan HUFA, now we are standing or kneeling. In short, Xu Yinluo will not let them go.

Yang Gong coughed and pulled the topic back. His face was very serious

"The third problem, the defense line!

"Before that, we need to estimate when the next attack of Yunzhou army will be."

The former commander of Qingzhou City thought carefully and said:

"The Yunzhou army suffered a great defeat. The first battle of Xunzhou city was a wound. It didn't make a comeback so soon. It should wait for the legendary White Emperor to return to the mainland of Kyushu."

The existence of the White Emperor is not a secret to the high-level people here.

In the action of beheading heilian, Baidi did not appear, which exposed the fact that it was not in Kyushu.

"No, I think they will enter gongyongzhou in the near future."

Li mubai gave different opinions. The great Confucian of Yunlu academy analyzed that:

"First of all, the Spring Festival is approaching. Yunzhou can afford to fight for half a year. After a few years, they will be dragged down by the war. Your Majesty's two strategies are the basis for a protracted war.

"If the rebels in Yunzhou know about it, they will never delay it and will enter the palace immediately."

Miao Youfang suddenly said:

"It is also possible to attack Yuzhou and stop the imperial court's tactics."

Yuzhou is close to southern Xinjiang.

As soon as he finished, he was rejected by Xu Erlang

"The strength of Yunzhou is not enough to support their two-line operations."

This is the reason why Yunzhou wanted to negotiate peace and win Yuzhou without blood.

Once again, people realized that if the peace negotiation was successful and Yunzhou army took over Yuzhou or Zhangzhou at that time, it would be the real end of the tide, and there was only a matter of time left for the fall of the imperial court.

Dafeng has been on the verge of extinction once... The civil servants and military generals feel deeply.

Xu Yinluo's coup changed the fate of Dafeng Dynasty.

Yang Gong made a final conclusion

"It won't be more than half a month from rest to sending troops. Before the Spring Festival, there will be a fierce battle between Yunzhou and us. Next, we need to build the first line of defense and select the defensive generals. "

............

Qingzhou chief secretary.

On the same morning, senior military officials in Yunzhou were also holding a meeting.

After everyone arrived, Ge Wenxuan looked around and made a start

"Tianji palace just got the news that the capital side is going to open Guanshi in Jianzhou and Yongzhou to exchange business with northern demons, southern demons and Wanyao Kingdom, so as to enrich the national treasury. In addition, there was an order to buy back the land from the gentry and nobles at the original price, which was used to appease the refugees after the Spring Festival.

"It's not a good omen. It's hitting the soft spot of Yunzhou everywhere."

Wen Yan, the senior generals present are frowning and aware of the impact of the implementation of these two decrees on the situation.

Zhuo Haoran grinned

"Switch market? Well thought, Lao Tzu led the dead men to bring them all together. "

Ge Wenxuan said:

"Yes, we will prepare a funeral for general Zhuo in advance."

Zhuo Haoran raised his eyebrows.

Without giving him a chance to get angry, Yang Chuannan said in a deep voice:

"Jianzhou is too far away for us to get involved.

"Yuzhou is adjacent to Qingzhou, which is within reach. But have you ever thought about it? The happiest things for the imperial court are the Gu clan, the ten thousand demon Kingdom and the Central Plains caravan.

"In the Central Plains, there are tea, porcelain, silk, salt, iron and so on urgently needed by the Gu people. The Wanyao Kingdom has just been founded, and there is no shortage of anything but herbs and food. Gu clan and Yao clan will surely send troops to the market town.

"The rich products in southern Xinjiang are enough to drive the business travelers crazy. In the past, Gu clan and Dafeng didn't deal with each other. During the reign of Buddhism, they refused to do business with the Central Plains.

"Now, without these worries, there will be a large number of caravans flocking to Yuzhou. The world is not peaceful, and they will hire a certain scale of armed forces to protect it. You lead the dead to take them. Oh, who killed them? "

You know, the Wulin in the Central Plains is prosperous, and there are many forces in the rivers and lakes.

These people will not be in charge of Dafeng's life and death, but they can be driven by interests. Even there will be caravans formed by various forces in the rivers and lakes to Yuzhou.

Ge Wenxuan nodded and agreed with Yang Chuannan's analysis, adding:

"If we send troops to Yuzhou, it's a bit risky to fight on the two fronts with our troops and materials."

Zhuo Haoran was silent.

Qi Guangbo said lightly:

"Now you know, why did Xu Qi'an support a woman to ascend the throne? He supported the eldest princess to ascend the throne, not only to stabilize the rear, but also because this woman has unparalleled talent. Xu Qi'an is like a tiger.

"In the future, we will not only face Xu Qi'an, but also Dafeng, the empress."

A general pondered for a moment and said tentatively:

"If there is no supervisor in the capital, why doesn't the national master directly fight into the capital and destroy the female emperor?"

People's eyes lit up and thought it was a feasible strategy.

Qi Guangbo was silent, then sighed:

"That's the burning of jade and stone."

He didn't explain much. He looked at Ji Xuan, who was silent and somewhat isolated

"To cling to love is not the material of emperors. If you don't want to be looked down upon by the national teacher and his majesty, just erase the word Ji Yuan from your heart. "

Ji Xuan nodded and didn't speak.

Qi Guangbo continued

"Yuzhou wants to fight, but not now. Prepare to attack Yongzhou first. I will only give you half a month. Half a month later, we sent troops to Yuzhou. "

Yang Chuannan was surprised

"General, don't wait for the White Emperor?"

Qi Guangbo shook his head

"We can't afford it. In addition, Luoyu HENGDU is about to be robbed, and Xu Qian is also an unstable factor. The more time they are given, the more things they can't control.

"Besides, do you know when the White Emperor will return? The fate of Yunzhou, our destiny, will not rest on a foreign aid. "

...........

[1] the transmission array of the Imperial Palace must be in my bedroom. If you don't trust Lin'an, let Sun Xuanji build one in her Shaoyin palace. If Xu Pingfeng and jialuoshu really attack the capital, the teleportation array will only be in the dormitory, and I will have a chance of survival

No problem. As long as your majesty doesn't mind, I certainly don't mind

What do you mean

Three: directional teleportation. I need to have some on hand for the way to the palace

Huaiqing didn't speak for a long time, but didn't say no.

Xu Qi'an continued to deliver the letter: "it's just that when we really got there, it was a bit tragic."

They are chatting in private.

[1] at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, during the reign of Yongyu, an army of witchcraft came to the capital. Under the protection of the army, Yong Yu fled the capital and left the royal family and the common people in the city. The army of wushenjiao slaughtered the emperor and concubines for three days and nights and carried them back to the northeast.

[emperor Yongyu assembled a large army at the border. Within six years, he expelled the army of the witchcraft from the Central Plains.

The capital is never important. As long as I don't die, Dafeng will not die

Huaiqing's biography is full of strong and incomparable confidence.

[1] in addition, if Xu Pingfeng dares to come to the capital, he can't return to Qingzhou and Yunzhou in a short time. This is also an opportunity for us to take the headquarters of the Yunzhou rebels in one pot. With Xu Pingfeng's character, he will not make the choice of burning both jade and stone until he is in a desperate situation.

There are two things you need to consider now: one is to help the national master survive the robbery. 2、 How to promote a product

In response to Xu Qi'an's letter:

I understand

End the call.

Xu Qi'an sat at the head of Xunzhou City, looking at the blue sky and pondering for a long time.

All major systems, after promotion, there will be no pass.

As long as you accumulate Qi, sharpen your physique, and improve your "broken jade", you can slowly push your accomplishments to the top of the second grade depending on time.

In other words, no matter what system or grade, the most difficult thing is to break the barrier.

At the beginning, Xu Qian was promoted to Sanpin immortal body by relying on Wei Yuan's blood elixir. After that, there was no bottleneck. He kept practicing with the national teacher, and his Qi increased steadily.

What's really difficult is the level of promotion.

Just like the old people, it will take decades for them to reach the peak.

However, his promotion to the second grade level has blocked him for 500 years.

The promotion of "three grades" to "two grades" is the combination of the two grades and the completion of "meaning". How about two products being promoted to one? " Xu Qi'an frowned

"Yipinwufu doesn't seem to have a name. The water is very deep. I feel that the Wufu system is perhaps the most special and the deepest of all systems. "

Wufu system has existed since ancient times, but there has never been super product.

There is no name for a product of Wufu system.

These two points alone show that there are problems in this system.

He closed his eyes, looked inside, and untied the seal of master Shenshu.

It's not difficult for him to seal one of Shenshu's right arms with the respect of his current second class. Although master Shenshu is a monk and doesn't care about men and women's affairs, Xu Qi'an still refused to be a bystander when practicing double cultivation.

Luo Yuheng also refused that when he was contradicted by the small silver Gong, there was a bystander on the side.

In front of my eyes, there was a misty fog, which was like a veil. Deep in the fog, there was a broken temple, and in front of the door sat a handsome young monk.

"Master, I want to ask a question." Xu Qi'an put his hands together

"How can I be promoted to be a good warrior?"

.........

PS: originally, I wanted to ask for leave, because my detailed outline has been finished from the time the prison was sealed to the battle of guarding the city in Xunzhou, and the subsequent detailed outline has not been written. Well, a detailed outline is not an outline. I've always finished the outline, but I don't have to worry about the outline.

Thinking about it, I think it's even worse to break it, so I insist on this chapter.
