Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Xia Guo, Jinling City.

Now that the first lunar month has just passed, although the weather is still chilly, it is also the time when spring comes and everything recovers.

At this time in previous years, the entire city of Jinling was still filled with the festive atmosphere of the Yuanchun Festival. The streets must have been bustling with activity, and all businesses were thriving, showing the prosperity of the capital of Xia Kingdom.

But this year's Jinling City is a little different!
On the streets in Jinling City, there are very few pedestrians and ordinary people.Even on the most prosperous Qinhuai River in the past, there are only a handful of painting boats, and there is no such a prosperous and extravagant scene of "enjoying peace and inheriting prosperity, and the lights shining brightly on the Qinhuai River".

Since the fall of Shuzhou City, the news that Yunguo's army was directly targeting Gyeonggi reached Jinling City, the entire Xia Kingdom, the ruling and opposition parties were shaken, and people's hearts were floating!
I don't know how many gentry and ordinary people chose to leave in a hurry with their families, for fear that if they were too late, they would be affected by the flames of war.

The entire Jinling City was eclipsed by the turmoil and panic of the people and the hastily fled for refuge. It seemed a bit bleak for no reason.

On the empty street, there are only occasional sounds of orderly and powerful steps.

A well-trained palace guard with strong morale and strong morale of more than a thousand people was ordered to be mobilized at this time and rushed to Dangtu, an important place in Gyeonggi, to support the frontline battlefield.

At this time, even the imperial guards in the palace guarding the emperor of Xia Kingdom were urgently transferred to the front line, which shows that the current strength of Xia Kingdom's troops is really not optimistic!
But at a time when the government and the people of Xia Kingdom were in despair, all the important ministers of Xia Kingdom gathered in Jinshen Palace, which was the center of the Xia Empire, were not too depressed and at a loss.

At this time, they, including Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling on the dragon chair, were all focused and serious, trying their best to maintain the effective operation of this seemingly precarious huge empire!
Because they all know that although Xia Guo is at the point of life and death at this time, it has not yet reached the point where the dust has settled and cannot be recovered!
As long as the next plan is successful, the situation between Xia and Yun will be completely reversed.

It is even possible to completely keep the current emperor of Yun Kingdom, Xiao Cheng, this unborn hero, and destroy the hope of Yun Kingdom's rise!
"Gong Yingzong!" Yu Zhaoling on the dragon chair said in a deep voice.

Gong Ying on the side stepped forward slowly, bowed and saluted without Yu Zhaoling asking, and said directly:

"Qizou Your Majesty, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy has secretly reported that Anguo is ready and has gathered [-] people!"

"Because Emperor Yun is ready to go to the front line, all the Qianrui who were originally stationed in Anguo in Yunguo have been transferred away to guard Yunhuang Luanjia. At this time, in Anguo, there are only five thousand soldiers who have just been transferred from Jiangyang County. The county soldiers are stationed."

Although the soldiers of Yunguo County have always been well-trained, except for armor and weapons, they are not necessarily inferior to Xia Guorui's soldiers.

Although the [-] people gathered by Gong Yingzong are all mobs, they are not grand!
But relying on the banner of Li Weining, the former king of Li, once the army is raised, even if it cannot be responded to by everyone, and the people of Anguo win the food and follow them, it is enough to make the people of Anguo choose not to help each other, disrupt the situation in Anguo in one fell swoop, and let the cloud army suffer from the enemy!
"As for the Tubo side, Zanpu abandoned Nieqi. When the two countries started the war, he had already secretly sent someone to send news that he was going to attack the cloud to support our Great Xia."

"Now, just waiting for His Majesty's order, the three parties can send troops to attack the Yun Kingdom together! At that time, the army of Hongzhou City and Qichang Mansion will respond together and directly attack the back of the Yun Kingdom army!"

Hearing this, Yu Zhaoling nodded slightly, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, and said:

"Emperor Yun accepted the invitation of the hunt, and asked Wu Zixu to storm Shuzhou City, and changed the hunting location to Dangtu City, just to embarrass me."

"Since this is the case, I want to see if Xiao Cheng will regret it when he is trapped in the front line!"

Just to embarrass Yu Zhaoling, Xiao Cheng ordered Wu Zixu to push the front line to Dangtu before the hunting date.

Wu Zixu lived up to Xiao Cheng's expectation, and his momentum was like a broken bamboo along the way, and the army went straight to the capital of Xia Kingdom.

But if you look at it from the map, you will find that Wu Zixu's soldiers and horses have become the most prominent part, like a long spear, piercing straight into the territory of Xia Kingdom.

Although the tip of the spear is sharp, if someone takes the opportunity to break the barrel

Then this tens of thousands of sharp troops will become the turtle in the urn!
Tubo raised troops, from north to south.The former Ministry of King Li, from south to north.

In fact, these two forces were mostly to attract and contain the Yun** team, and Xia Guojun and his ministers never counted on them.

The real main force is still the current Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling personally marching, leading Xia Guorui, upstream.There is also the sudden rise of 18 troops in Qichang City and Hongzhou City, which are located in key places on the back road of the Yun Army.

With such an arrangement, Wu Zixu's cloud army, together with the cloud emperor Xiao Cheng who was going to hunt, was directly trapped together, completely reversing the offensive and defensive momentum of the two countries!
And at this time, in a corner of Jinshen Hall, Zhong Ziguan stood here with his head bowed, thinking about the tasks assigned by the stick in his mind.

He took a deep breath, stepped out of the queue suddenly, bowed to Yu Zhaoling, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, I am not speaking out of frustration, but I really feel in my heart that there are loopholes in this layout!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall all focused on him.

At such a critical moment, wouldn't it be disturbing the morale of the army to say such things!
Hearing this, Yu Zhaoling frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Where is the loophole?"

Zhong Zi poured out the eyes of the crowd, his scalp was a little numb, he felt a groan in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty, the world recognizes that Emperor Yun is now the number one master in the world, and his cultivation is unmatched. If he rushes out with all his heart, who can stop him?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials in the hall were slightly taken aback.

They have been in the imperial court for a long time, and they mostly pay attention to the strength of the Yun Kingdom and the mighty Yun army on weekdays, but they ignore the fact that the current Emperor Yun is a real master!
Although I don't know the specific realm, but the first battle on the Yuanjiang River, it can be seen that it is definitely an existence in the land fairyland!
There is such an existence, and there are a lot of masters to protect it, abandoning the army and leaving with one heart, no one can really stop it.

Of course, although the officials forgot about this point, but Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling attached so much importance to Xiao Cheng's opponent, it was naturally impossible not to take this matter into account.

Yu Zhaoling on the dragon chair glanced slightly at the old eunuch Sixi who was standing beside him with low brows, and said in a deep voice:
"I have made arrangements. I have invited five masters from the land gods and wonderlands of the Taoist school to come forward. Although I dare not say that I can directly capture the Emperor Yun, I think it is possible to hold him back!"

When the ministers heard the words, they immediately nodded their heads again and again, breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted that Your Majesty is wise.

As for Zhong Ziguan, who lowered his head, he couldn't help but gasped when he heard that there were five land gods and wonderland masters.

The world has changed drastically, although it has been several years.But as far as Zhong Zizhuo knew, plus the two Buddhist monk Huiqi from Yunguo and Xu Su, the patriarch of the Yinyang family, there are only five or six masters in the land gods and fairylands in the world.

Where did Emperor Xia find so many masters?
Shocked under pressure, Zhong Ziguan took a few deep breaths and continued:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying one more word!
"Qichang City and Hongzhou City are related to the back of the Yun Army. Even if the Yun Army is eager to win, it is impossible to ignore these two places. There must be a sharp army stationed there!"

"Although there are a lot of strong troops in the two cities, they have been besieged for several months and their morale is low. How can they fight against the Yun army? How can we be sure that the two armies can break through the encirclement of the Yun army? "

With Zhong Ziguan as Xia Huang's confidant, Xia Guo's arrangement during this period has actually been in the eyes of Yun Guo.

It's just that Yunguo has always had two questions.

Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling, why are you so sure that Xia Guo can stop Xiao Cheng?
Also, the armies in Qichang City and Hongzhou City were obviously forced by the Yun Army to defend the city.Why did Emperor Xia believe that they could break through the blockade of the Yun army and cut off the Yun army's retreat?
Zhong Ziguan's remonstrance now is trying to find a way to inquire about these two things around the corner.

Yu Zhaoling didn't have the slightest doubt about Zhong Ziguan, an old official who had been following him all the time, and said directly:

"This battle is about the surviving of our Great Xia Ancestral Temple, and the country is in peril. It is a desperate game. I am determined to consume my Great Xia's national fortune, and forcibly kill...
"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Before he finished speaking, Gong Yingzong suddenly coughed violently.

The posture that seemed to cough out his lungs immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing Yu Zhaoling stop, Gong Ying stroked her chest and coughed a few more times, before she hastily saluted and pleaded guilty, saying:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished for my dishonesty in front of the king!"

This Gong Yingzong, don't look at the literati's attire.But as an abandoned disciple of a strategist, his martial arts are not weak, but he is also a ninth-level cultivation base. He is no longer a mortal, so why would he cough like this for no reason?
In fact, he just deliberately thought of a way to stop Yu Zhaoling from continuing.

Yu Zhaoling also reacted at this time, immediately shut up and changed the subject very naturally, saying:
"It doesn't matter! It's just that now is the time when my great Xia society is in danger. Gongqing has a responsibility, and she should take good care of her body and take good care of it!"

Gong Yingzong saluted very cooperatively, saying:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Zhong Ziguan's heart tightened suddenly.

He knew that if he continued to ask questions at this time, he would definitely arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, Zhong Zizhuo also stopped talking, retreated to his original position, and pondered silently in his heart.

"Consume Great Xia's national luck"? What do you seem to be "forcibly" doing?
What exactly does this mean?——

Xia Guo, Jiangling is among the accompanying capitals.

Although the battle between the two countries was fierce, due to the overwhelming strength of the Yun Army and its victories, Jiangling City could not feel any tense and dignified atmosphere.

Only when the brigade Yun Junrui walked quickly through the city, did the people of Yun Kingdom feel a sense of urgency in the war.

At this time, in the imperial palace of the accompanying capital, a group of palace people are hurriedly packing up all kinds of things, making preparations for His Majesty to go to the front line and participate in the meeting of the two emperors.

The imperial palace, in the vertical arch hall.

At this time, Uncle Liu Bowen, with a bitter face, walked quickly into the hall, took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground, leaned over and confessed:
"The minister is not effective in supervision, please punish him!"

Xiao Cheng raised his head slightly, squeezed the memorial in his hand, tapped it lightly a few times in his palm, made a "pop" sound, and said casually:
"So, have you checked it out?"

Liu Bowen looked ashamed, bowed his head and said:
"Yes!"

"Tell me, I really want to know the identity of this Yu Zhaoqi who suddenly disappeared!"

"Yu Zhaoqi, the young supervisor of Sitianjian, is a disciple of Taoism. His real identity is a child of the royal family of Xia Kingdom."

"When His Majesty opened the Jixia Academy, this person followed his brothers and entered the capital. Because of his research on the Taoist method of luck, he entered Yunlou to work."

Yunlou is Xiao Cheng, with Liu Bowen as the main body, recruiting talents who are good at the secret method of luck from among hundreds of schools. Based on the superficial secret method of using luck obtained from the ancestors of Li Dynasty, it is the basis for Dayun to study the application of national luck. Law!
Yunguo has always been ahead of Xiaguo in the way of using luck.And when Liu Bowen was able to slash Xia Guo's dragon energy with a sword when Xia Guo was condensing the country's destiny, causing the old Xia Emperor to collapse suddenly, it was thanks to Yunlou.

This Yu Zhaoqi who suddenly disappeared was reported to Xiao Cheng just because he was from Yunlou and was extremely important.

Xiao Cheng asked people to investigate further, and finally found clues from the Taoists.

This person who is above the official circles of Yunguo, the official to the fifth-rank Sitianjian, is actually a disciple of the royal family of Xiaguo!
At this moment, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued:

"So, how much of the secret technique researched by Yunlou does this person know?"

Hearing this, Liu Bowen lowered his head even more, and said in a trembling voice:
"This person has outstanding ability and is very popular. This person knows [-]% of the secrets of Yunlou luck."

Having said that, Liu Bowen paused again, then gritted his teeth suddenly, and said:

"In addition, half a year ago, this person suddenly turned to research on how to use the fortune of the country to bless him."

Back then, Liu Bowen, with the support of Xiao Cheng,

The luck of the country blesses his body, thus entering the realm of a god general, thousands of miles away, a sword slashes the dragon energy transformed by Xia Guo's luck.

Since then, how to use the power of national destiny to bless oneself has become the focus of research for everyone in Yunlou.

Xiao Cheng heard the words, but suddenly sneered, threw down the memorial in his hand, and said contemptuously:
"So Xia Guo pinned his hope of defeating me, Dayun, on the secret method of luck brought back by Yu Zhaoqi?"

When Xiao Cheng said this, he couldn't help laughing.

Today's Xia Kingdom is no longer the country that occupied the rich and prosperous Central Plains, was the most expensive country in the world, and had a prosperous national destiny!
In the past few years, Xia Guo lost troops and generals, lost the country, and even made the Yun army approach the capital of Xia Guo.

On the other hand, Yunguo's national strength is like a great sun flying in the sky, and its luck is extremely strong.

Even if it is a direct competition for national fortune, there is no reason for Xia Guo to win and Yun Guo to lose!
Liu Bowen raised his head slightly when he heard the words, and advised:
"Your Majesty, it's impossible for Yu Zhaoqi to not have thought of this through the secret method of luck. But he still took the risk to leave with the secret method, which shows that Xia Guo is already prepared, so we must guard against it!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng thought of the information just sent from Jinling City, and smiled slightly:

"That's not bad, I want to arrange a little bit to deal with Xia Guo's plan. Well, it's no wonder you got up first!"

Hearing this, Liu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up slightly.

Xiao Cheng's eyelids drooped, he opened a memorial again and began to review it, and then said in a deep voice:

"By the way, let Xia Guo get this secret method, so forget it. But this Yu Zhaoqi, it's better not to keep it, I feel a little unhappy."

Feng Bao on the side, with a respectful expression on his face, bowed slightly, and replied:

"Yes, this servant will give orders now. Even if he is hiding in the imperial palace of Jinling City at this moment, he will definitely not survive for three days!"

Xiao Cheng lowered his head to review the memorial, without raising his eyebrows.
