Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8441 Sickness
Royal Palace.

Qi Xingyun frowned slightly.

He slowly said: "Bei Li's family wanted to go south all the way, but unfortunately, their soldiers were blocked from the sword box pass. Besides, what other plots could they have?"

"I want to come, they can't attack directly, they may attack in a roundabout way."

"Bring the sand table!"

Qi Xingyun shouted.

Eunuch Wang Yun, who was nearby, immediately asked the little eunuchs to come in carrying the sand table and put it on the large table.

There is a miniature model of the mountains and rivers in the north of Daqi on the sand table. Although it is not so accurate, the trend can be roughly seen.

Among them, there are many small flags.

Qi Xingyun picked up a small flag.

"Master Zhang Ge, look at this road."

Qi Xingyun gestured with a small flag.

This road has already been marked in green, it can be seen that Qi Xingyun has already considered it before.

"Your Majesty, this road... can it work?"

Zhang Tingyu looked closely, and he was puzzled.

"Mr. Zhang Ge is referring to here?"

Qi Xingyun raised his fingers and pressed on one of them.

And there is the Hengduan Mountains.

Unlike ordinary mountains.

Ordinary mountain ranges basically run from east to west, while the Hengduan Mountains run from north to south, just along Qianji City, blocking the way down the grassland to the south.

Starting from the grassland, if you want to enter Daqi, then you must go to Qianji City.

In Qianji City, Daqi is full of heavy soldiers, and Yan Huanyan from Yan's family, Jiangmen's family, led his troops here.

"Your Majesty, this place is the Hengduan Mountains. The mountains are so long that it is difficult for people and animals to pass. It is very unlikely that Beili's family wants to pass through here."

Zhang Tingyu frowned.

It's not that he's talking empty words, but that he has searched through the history books. There has never been a large-scale army crossing the Hengduan Mountains and entering the hinterland of the Central Plains.

It can be said that the Hengduan Mountains are the treasure mountain of the Central Plains Dynasty.

"It's all about human effort. Often the more unexpected we are, the more likely it will happen."

"The Hengduan Mountain Range is not a restricted area for humans. If you want to cross it, as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can always achieve your goal." Qi Xingyun said.

"Who did His Majesty hear this from?"

Zhang Tingyu frowned and asked.

He didn't believe that Qi Xingyun thought of it himself.

Over the years, he admitted that Qi Xingyun is a good emperor, has strategies, understands how to govern the country, and is generous with rewards and punishments, but in terms of military affairs, Qi Xingyun does not have a very outstanding talent.

"Mr. Zhang Ge is really as insightful as a candle. General Luo wrote to tell me about this matter. He asked me to prepare in advance." Qi Xingyun said.

"What General Luo said...you really should be prepared."

As soon as he heard that it was Luo Fengtang who said it, Zhang Tingyu immediately paid attention to it, and his attitude was quite different from the beginning.

Qi Xingyun coughed twice.

This guy, the double standard is too obvious.

Why do you trust Luo Fengtang so much, but not me?

This is also a Mingjun like him. If other emperors have such a good relationship with the number one general and the number one civil servant, it would be strange not to be suspicious.

You must know that no matter what dynasty it was before, civil servants and military generals had close contacts, and it was a taboo thing.

"Your Majesty, is General Luo coming back?"

A gleam of joy flashed across Zhang Tingyu's face.

Recently, all the internal and external troubles of Daqi have erupted, but Luo Fengtang went back to his hometown to rest and take care of his newborn child.

If Luo Fengtang can return to court, many difficulties may be solved easily.

"Not yet, it may take a while." Qi Xingyun shook his head.

"The court is in a hurry, how can he go back to his hometown to enjoy the blessings."

Zhang Tingyu was a little anxious.

"This, I can't do anything about it, I'm sorry to force him to come back, his son, I'm still ordering him."

Qi Xingyun said.

He also wanted to call Luo Fengtang back, but he had already sent Luo Xingchen to work.

For this reason, Luo Xingchen has not returned to his hometown for a long time.

The Luo family has sacrificed too much, and things are too much, he can't help but be relentless.

"If General Luo doesn't return, who can the imperial court assign to prepare in advance?" Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to think about other candidates.

"Don't bother the two masters with one thing, since they are from the Hengduan Mountains, let the Yan family go."

"Yan Junning is still idle, let him go."

Qi Xingyun said.

"General Yan, your ability is not a problem, but the strength of the Yan family is limited, and it is already very difficult to defend Qianji City..." Zhang Tingyu hesitated.

"Let him and the local government recruit soldiers on the spot. In addition, Sixiang City, Li's family, and Ji's family should also contribute."

Qi Xingyun said.

The Four Elephant City is the barrier of Daqi's capital city, and if you want to attack the capital, you must attack the Four Elephant City first.

If you hit the capital first, it won't work.

They will be attacked by the sergeants of Sixiang City and the capital, and will fall into a dangerous place with no way out.

"The Li family, the Ji family and other big families in Sixiang City, if they cooperate with the government, they should be able to produce 3 horses, but this number of people is useless."

Zhang Tingyu said worriedly.

"At least there are too many people, Mr. Zhang Ge, don't worry too much. Think about it, if the Beili family dared to cross the Hengduan Mountains and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, they would definitely not have too many troops. Even if they are elite soldiers, as long as we A good defense can wear it down."

"Believe in General Yan, he is not considered a famous general in the world, but he is mature and prudent, he acts steadily and steadily, and there is no need to worry about making mistakes."

Qi Xingyun said.

"The old minister will let the cabinet discuss and send troops."

"But the treasury is empty and unable to afford the expenses." Zhang Tingyu said.

"I have already made arrangements. The last time General Taishu went to war, I borrowed silver from the bank, issued bonds, and obtained a batch of silver. These are enough to use, and there is still a lot left. I will pay 50 taels of silver. You ask someone to go to the internal bank to get the money."

Qi Xingyun said.

It is good to have money. Although it is borrowed, as long as you win the battle, you will have a lot of opportunities to pay it back in the future.

Qi Xingyun is not a stingy person. When it is time to spend, he knows the priorities and will not hesitate.

"According to the order!"

Zhang Tingyu also became happy.

It is easy to do things with money. The biggest problem in many affairs of the imperial court is the lack of money. As long as the money problem is solved, many problems will be easily solved.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Tingyu went straight back to Wenyuan Pavilion.

He looked around, besides him, Liu Yu was the only cabinet scholar.

The other two great scholars, Jiang Wanliu and Feng Yueheng, did not appear.

"What's going on? Master Jiang, why didn't Master Feng come?"

Zhang Tingyu frowned and asked.

Now is the time when the court is in trouble. At the critical moment, the cabinet members are not all there.

"They sent a letter saying they were sick."

Liu Yu said.

"Humph."

Zhang Tingyu just snorted and didn't say anything else.

There are so many people coming and going in this Wenyuan Pavilion, for the sake of the dignity of the Grand Scholars, he can't say anything, but there is already a layer of haze in his heart.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't really believe in calling him sick.
