Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Xia Guo Jinling City, I am in the palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the front camp of Qichang Mansion came to report that the Yun Army of Jiangzhou County raised troops to invade Panlong Water Village. Liao Gu, the Marquis of Hanchuan, personally led three thousand soldiers and horses to help them, scaring off the Yun Army."

"Qizou Your Majesty, Daxing County is in a hurry for [-] miles! Xiangzhou County's Yunjun, the various ministries have been mobilized recently, and they are approaching our Daxia territory!"

"Yuzhang County Daying came to report, and there is no abnormality in the eyes of General Yun Yang."

Dong Wei, Xia's chariot and cavalry general, came out at this time and said:
"Your Majesty, it's summer now, and the scorching heat is approaching. It's not the time to use troops. The mobilization of the frontline cloud army should be just a tentative move because of the deployment of frontline soldiers and horses to fight the rebellion!"

Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling had a serious expression on his face. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and said:

"That's right, the commanders of the frontline departments of the Yun Army are all famous generals, and Emperor Yun is not someone who doesn't know how to use soldiers, so he won't use them in this season."

In the hot summer season, if you use troops rashly, the non-combat casualties of the lieutenant officers and soldiers will increase, which will also hinder the morale and morale of the army. Therefore, even if you want to use troops, you will not use them at this time!
General Yuan Feizhang of the Hussars answered at this moment:
"Although this time is just a test, it can be seen that the various departments of the Yunjun are ready to use their troops to fight! Presumably it will not take a few months before the war will resume. Therefore, the old minister also asks His Majesty to immediately order the army to prepare for war!"

However, it was possible to mobilize frontline troops on such a large scale with just one trial, which showed that the frontline ministries of Yunguo had sufficient supplies, soldiers and food, and were already ready for a big battle.

On Xia Guo's side, more arrangements must be made.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling nodded and said:

"After two years of preparation, more than 150 elite soldiers were stationed in Yuzhang, Xunyang, Daxing, Nanyang and other counties on the front line. [-] million people have been deployed, and they are already ready for the big battle!"

In the first battle on the grassland, the power of the Turkic royal court was greatly damaged, and they were no longer able to command the Turkic ministries, which caused chaos on the grassland, and they were no longer able to look south.This allowed Xia Guo to transfer nearly 20 northern elites to the southwest.

Moreover, in the past two years, Xia Guochaotang has put almost all of his energy and background on building the southwestern defense line.

After all, Xia Kingdom now occupies most of the fertile land in the world, and its national power is powerful and terrifying.In just such a short time, relying on selling iron and plundering the treasury, these 60 elites were forcibly built!
On the other side of Yunguo, even though the army is unstoppable, the military strength stationed at the border between the two countries on paper is only 30.

This is also where Xia Guo now has the confidence to regain his homeland!
Yu Zhaoling's confidant, Zhu Feiang, stepped forward at this time, bowed and saluted, and said again:

"There are a large number of frontline troops, but they are divided into three divisions, led by Marquis Wu Zhengping of Raoyang, Marquis Liaogu of Hanchuan, and Lieutenant General Sun Qianfang. They are respectively stationed in Daxing County, Nanyang and Xunyang counties, and Yuzhang and Rong counties. .”

"If there is a big war, the frontline armies will fight separately, and they will not be able to coordinate and command to achieve the greatest results. Therefore, His Majesty should follow the example of Yunguo and set up an organization such as the 'Military Aircraft Department', select senior generals in the army, plan the layout, and dispatch and command the frontline Army!"

Compared with the elite army of the Yun Kingdom, among the 60 soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom, except for the 20 northern elites, the rest are really not necessarily braver than the Yun Army.

Since the advantage is the large number, it is necessary to coordinate dispatching and command in order to maximize the advantages.An organization like the Military Aircraft Office that coordinates military affairs, counsels military aircraft, and centrally dispatches is indispensable!
Yu Zhaoling was also a general in the army back then, so he naturally knew the key to this, without any hesitation, he immediately said:

"The war on the front line is about to start, and the prime minister's military office is set up beside the Jinshen hall."

"Chariot General Dong Wei, Hussar General Yuan Feizhang, Yipin Embroidered Clothes Envoy Feng Chu, Wuxiang Hou Zhong Zizhuo, Zhaode General Wu Tianyu, Chang Cong General Yang Liwei, Sanqi Regular Attendant Zhu Feiang..."

A large group of veteran generals and high-ranking embroidered envoys of the Xia army who were in the middle of the capital were read out one by one by Yu Zhaoling.

"All transferred to the prime minister's military affairs office, counseling military aircraft, and coordinating military strategy!"

When everyone in the hall heard the words, they immediately bowed down and saluted, and said loudly:
"Come on, follow your orders!"

And at this time, Feng Chu, who was in charge of the Embroidery Envoy, stepped out quickly again, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy reports back that Emperor Yun was stopped by the people of Yunguo on his way to Jiangling, the accompanying capital, and sued He Shao, the procurator of Qiangui, for corrupting the law and oppressing the people."

"Emperor Yun was furious when he heard that, and ordered a thorough investigation. Above the court of Yun Kingdom, the Qingliu sycophant party took this opportunity to impeach each other, which made Emperor Yun even more angry, and ordered the three divisions of the State of Yun to investigate the court. Corruption."

Yu Zhaoling and all the officials in the palace raised their heads abruptly when they heard Feng Chu's words.

The harm of this party struggle, the court of the Xia Kingdom is the most aware!
Now that the war between the two countries is imminent, but hearing that the court of Yunguo may cause party disputes because of a corruption case, everyone in the palace can't help but feel agitated.

"I'm thinking, this matter may be a fuss!" Feng Chu continued.

Obviously, he also wanted to go with everyone in the palace.

Yu Zhaoling was a little moved. After deliberating for a while, he nodded and said:

"This matter is feasible! If it can cause Yunguo faction and consume strength, it will increase the chance of winning..."

But at this point, Yu Zhaoling subconsciously shook his head and smiled wryly, saying:

"Actually, it's just a matter of thinking. After all, Xiao Cheng is now powerful. If he suppresses it with all his strength, what kind of storms will the party struggle cause!"

Yu Zhaoling regards Xiao Cheng as an opponent, and has been paying close attention to it for several years, so he naturally knows Xiao Cheng's current prestige among the ruling and opposition parties in Yunguo.

At the beginning of Xia Guo's troubles were so severe, his father's prestige and power were not as good as Xiao Cheng's, but he could barely suppress all the officials in the court.

For Xiao Cheng, the emperor of Dayun who holds power in his hands, controls the sun and the moon, and is uncompromising in the court, no matter how fierce the dispute between the court and the middle party is, it can only be resolved with one sentence...

Hearing this, Feng Chu couldn't help but sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile:
"It doesn't matter if you involve a little bit of energy in the court of Yunguo, you can't do nothing..."

It's really difficult for Feng Chu, the first-grade embroidered clothes envoy, to do it!
Although the East Factory and Sticky Branch of Yunguo have overlapping responsibilities, they are in a state of competition with each other.But after all, there is Xiao Cheng on the top, but there is still a degree.

Today, the Dongchang is responsible for supervising the internal affairs of Yunguo, and the sticky pole is responsible for overseas affairs.The coordination is not perfect, but it is also considered a tacit understanding.

Coupled with the fact that there is a senior spy like Zhong Zizhuo among the top embroidered envoys, the embroidered envoy has been unable to develop enough power in Yunguo, and Feng Chu has been timid, unable to find any room for display. .

Now that the war between the two countries is about to start, Yunguo has obtained almost all the defense maps of Xiaguo's front line, but the embroidered clothes envoys are blind to the frontline Yunjun, and have not sent any information.

So now, Feng Chu can only work hard in this area, even if he restrains Yun Guochao a little bit...

Although Yu Zhaoling disliked the incompetence of the embroiderer, he also knew that this was a helpless move, and said in a deep voice:

"It's okay to try, it's better than doing nothing..."

After saying this, Feng Chu blushed even more, and lowered his head in shame.

At this time, Zhong Zizhuo, who was also in the hall, raised his head slightly, and then quickly lowered his head, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At the end of the usual court meeting, all the important officials of the Xia Kingdom in the Jinshen Palace dispersed.

Zhong Zizhuo also walked out of the palace pretending to be ordinary, following a group of important officials.

Outside the palace gate, the servants and personal guards of the ministers had already been waiting for a long time in their carriages.

Zhong Zizhuo stepped into the carriage calmly, then asked his guards to come to the window, and said in a low voice:
"Feng Chu wants to use the court to thoroughly investigate the layout of the corruption case, stir up party disputes, and restrain the court's energy."

The guard at the Sticky Pole in Yunguo, who was pretending to be the embroidered envoy, frowned and said:
"Your Excellency, you know the specific layout?"

Zhong Zizhuo shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and said in a low voice:
"I don't know... In the past two years, Feng Chu entrusted the power of embroidered envoys in Xia Kingdom to me, and also took over the power of embroidered envoys in Yunguo. The people I had placed before were not transferred. It's just being squeezed out, and I don't know Feng Chu's layout at all."

The embroidered clothing envoy's internal faction dispute started by Zhong Zizhuo came to an end after Feng Chu gave in.

Zhong Zizhuo is in charge of the embroidered clothing envoy in Xia State.The middle-level embroidered envoys in the remaining counties of the Xia Kingdom have even gradually been replaced by people at the sticky poles.

But in contrast, Zhong Zizhuo can only hand over the power of overseas embroidered clothes, so it is not good to ask what it is.

Compared with before, it is convenient to collect internal information of Xia Kingdom, but it is not so clear about the various layouts of Feng Chu...

Hearing this, the guard at the sticky pole could only nod silently, and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, this subordinate will report back to the country and ask Du Yiwei, as well as the Dongchang side, to take precautions early!"

Although I don't know Feng Chu's plan, but since the corruption case is the core of the layout, and it is in the territory of Yunguo, relying on the strength of Dongchang and Sticky Branch, we are determined to investigate, and nothing will be found out! ——

By the time Yun Guo received a warning from Zhong Zizhuo, it was already mid-May.

At this time, the officials of the Third Division of the Xingyu Temple, headed by Di Renjie, Hai Rui, and Song Ci, who were ordered to thoroughly investigate the corruption case, had left Beijing for more than a month.

Because many people were involved this time, not just the officials in the capital, so after the investigation of the capital in a thunderous manner, Di Renjie, Hai Rui, and Song Ci left the capital and went to other places in order to thoroughly investigate the local officials.

Xiao Cheng looked at the secret report from Zhong Zizhuo, snorted disdainfully, threw down the secret report, and said with a sneer:
"Hehe, it seems that in the past two years, this first-grade embroidered envoy of the Xia Kingdom has been suppressed and depressed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard to do something that is destined to be fruitless!"

As long as he can cause some other troubles, he will not put his hope on causing the Yun Kingdom faction.

With Xiao Cheng's current prestige, strength, and loyalists of the imperial party all over the key positions in the court, any party disputes can be quelled with just one thought!

Lu Bing bowed and stood in the vertical arch hall, and asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, after all, you are the Embroidery Envoy of the Xia Kingdom, so you still need to take some precautions!"

Although Feng Chu has been aggrieved in the past two years, his ability can be seen only from the fact that he was able to take the embroidered clothes to take root in Yunguo under such harsh conditions.

Lu Bing still felt that such a layout should be handled with care.

Although Xiao Cheng also had some contempt in his heart, he didn't become negligent, and said:

"Let Wang Zhi's East Factory go and investigate. You, the Shangyu Preparation Office, follow the staff who are going to do business, and you should also pay attention!"

"Yes."

Xiao Cheng nodded, indicating that Lu Bing could step back, and then continued to look down at the memorial.

Lu Bing bowed his body and cautiously exited the hall.

But when Lu Bing stepped out of the palace gate, he suddenly noticed that His Majesty was holding a memorial, snorted coldly, and cursed softly:

"This big-eyed Yang is really messing around..."

But before the words finished, Xiao Cheng suddenly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Bing didn't dare to stay here to spy for a long time, and continued to walk away.When he reached the steps, with his outstanding hearing, he heard His Majesty's voice from the Chuigong Palace.

"Quickly, summon Zhuge Liang, the left servant of the Ministry of War, Jiang Ziya, a scholar of Jixia Academy, Liu Bowen, Chengyi Bowen, Sun Bin, the counselor of the Military Aircraft Department, Wu Qi, Wei Liao, Zhao She... to see us immediately!"

"According to the order!"
-

Xia Guo, in the capital city of Yongzhou.

Song Ci, who was the servant of the Ministry of Punishments and was ordered to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of the Yongzhou prefect, stood in the morgue at this moment, looking at the Yongzhou prefect who had been dead for many days before him, and scrutinized him carefully.

Yongzhou Tongjuan on the side, his face trembling at this time, said in panic:

"Lord Song, before you arrived in Yongzhou, the prefect suddenly died suddenly in front of the officials of the government office. Everyone in the government office knew about this matter, and the lower officials did not hide it at all..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Ci abruptly raised his hand to interrupt, and said to his followers:
"Prepare for an autopsy!"

Hearing this, Yongzhou Tongju said quickly:

"Yes, I'm going to call Wu Zuo now..."

The judge in Yongzhou suddenly stopped talking, looked at the servant of the Ministry of Punishment in astonishment, who was under the service of his entourage, and was wearing the post-mortem suit, and stammered:

"My lord, do you want to do it yourself?"

Song Ci didn't even raise his brows. After putting on the uniform, he started to inspect it carefully.

Song Ci carefully and patiently examined the face, facial features, neck, limbs, and even under the head hair.

After finding nothing unusual on the surface of the corpse, Song Ci suddenly shifted his gaze to the somewhat shriveled abdomen of the deceased, and said in a deep voice:
"Cesarean section!"

Song Ci's entourage took out a sharp knife from the carrying case and handed it directly to Song Ci.

Without hesitation, Song Ci cut open the deceased's abdomen.

Suddenly, there was only a faint buzzing sound of insects coming from the abdomen of the deceased.

The next moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the belly of the deceased and rushed towards Song Ci.

Song Ci, who had a lot of experience in autopsy, was also taken aback at this time, and took two steps back in panic.

The escorting masters were all outside the autopsy room at this time.There were only two attendants and assistants beside Song Ci, but they hadn't reacted to the sudden change at this moment, they stared blankly at the somewhat strange black shadow, and rushed towards Song Ci.

Seeing that this black shadow was about to pounce on Song Ci's body, at the very moment, he heard the sound of the sword coming out of its scabbard with a clang.

Outside the house, the Shangfang sword bestowed by His Majesty today and held by the guards in both hands suddenly popped out of the scabbard, revealing the sword body engraved with the patterns of divine beasts.

A white sword light appeared, rushed into the house, and stood in front of Song Ci.

Under the light of the white sword, the black shadow immediately melted away like snow meeting the sun, and turned into tiny black insects, which lost their vitality and fell to the ground.

Song Ci was still in shock, his chest heaved and heaved, and then he suddenly realized that he turned his head to look at the evil sword bestowed by His Majesty outside the house...
-

Yunguo, Jianchang Mansion.

Di Renjie, who threw off the imperial guards and went to inspect the city in his micro-clothes, was unexpectedly surrounded by a group of assassins at some point.

And at this moment, the Baili Sword that Di Renjie was wearing around his waist suddenly popped out.

It's summer, and the weather is getting hotter.

But when the hundred-mile sword was unsheathed, the surrounding temperature immediately dropped.

Above the sky, there were actually pure white snowflakes fluttering and falling, covering the ground.

Beneath the strange beauty, there is a sharp sword spirit hidden.

But Li Yuanfang, who was accompanying him, noticed something strange, and when he arrived with a group of guards, he was shocked to see that a group of assassins had been killed by sword energy at this time, and their bodies fell to the ground, bleeding all over the place. Against the background of the snowflakes on the ground, it is very conspicuous.

In Yunguo and Jiangyang County, the commander's yamen, the imperial guards rushed in with knives and surrounded them.

"Let me go!"

The Commander of Jiangyang County, who was wearing armor, held a long knife on Hai Rui's neck, and shouted with a ferocious expression.

"Master Hai, you are the censor of Zuodu, a member of the court, and have a bright future. Why should you die here with me?"

Even though Hai Rui was held hostage by someone, he still didn't change his face at this moment, and coldly snorted:

"The big rat of the country, corrupt and corrupt, the common people! At this time, you don't want to get caught without a fight, but you dare to hold this official hostage, resist punishment, and refuse to repent, damn it!"

"Soldiers, don't worry about me, take this person down!"

Hai Rui's awe-inspiring shout made the commander of Jiangyang County even more panicked.

Seeing Hai Rui's appearance, he suddenly looked at the officers, soldiers and imperial guards, and shouted:

"Get out of the way quickly, or he will die in an accident, and you will all be held accountable by the court!"

In fact, the imperial guards and all the officers and soldiers were worried about Hai Rui's life, so it was impossible for them to attack Hai Rui just because of a word.

At this time, seeing that the commander of Jiangyang County was almost insane, they immediately dispersed, not daring to stop them.

Seeing this, the commander of Jiangyang County was overjoyed and forced Hai Rui to break out of the commander's office.

Seeing that there was no one blocking him in front of him, and knowing that he would be able to escape with his own martial arts, he was ecstatic in his heart, and pushed Hai Rui far away, and ran forward quickly.

Hai Rui was pushed away a few steps, turned around and saw him fleeing, and immediately shouted:
"Stop him!"

But all the officers and soldiers did not dare to approach because of the threat just now, and it was difficult to step forward to intercept them for a while.

Hai Rui was so anxious that he subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist and threw it at the man.

Immediately, the long sword was thrown out, and it turned into a white light and shot straight away.

There was only a sound of "噗嗤", and the commander of Jiangyang County, who had a particularly happy face, pierced his chest with a long sword and fell to the ground suddenly.
