The devil is coming

Chapter 926 Ping Xiwang’s new product!
"Yuan Tuge understands your taste in paintings."
Ji Chengjue is admiring the paintings.
When Li Fusheng of the Liang Dynasty died in battle, before King Pingxi crossed the Wangjiang River, he met an official of the Yan Dynasty who had become an official. This man was good at painting erotic pictures, which he considered elegant;
Moreover, he also had the integrity to destroy his family and relieve the trouble. His original intention was to inspire the King of the West to quell the chaos, but he was later convinced and was willing to paint and contribute.
The painting was a bit slow to complete because he fell ill during the process. Even now, he is not in good health, but he finally handed in the work as agreed.
You can say that the scene in the painting is unsightly, but you can also say that it is "beautiful", an art, and a treasure;
This thing mainly depends on the status of the evaluator.
The pictures in this volume are basically dominated by women with plump figures and charm. Isn't it because they are attracted to someone?
However, after the painting was brought up, before the owner had time to look at it, the emperor took it over and looked at it with gusto.
"There is still a way back." The prince reminded.
When the emperor heard this,
His hands immediately trembled and he put the album aside, as if he had seen some wild beast.
immediately,
The emperor said again;
"Just tell the queen, am I injured? Internal injury, yes, internal injury. I need to rest and rest."
"This can't be done. Doesn't it mean that I failed to take good care of you in Shanggu County and ignored the safety of your dragon body?"
"The person named Zheng is still not a brother, but he is still not a brother. If he is a brother, he will have to worry about it!"
"A true warrior must dare to face a bleak life. Besides, it's not a tragedy for you."
"You are a man who is full but does not know how to be afraid of being stretched."
"Ha ha."
"Aren't you tired?" the emperor asked curiously.
In his harem, there is only one concubine and one concubine;
But in the back house of the prince named Zheng, there were already four including Princess Fu.
Prince Yun Danfeng shook his head lightly and said disdainfully: "Where are you going?"
The corners of the emperor's mouth curved slightly and he sneered. Obviously, the emperor didn't believe it.
"Who told you not to exercise more in your early years?"
"Okay, okay, stop showing off your strength as a fifth-grade peerless martial arts master. You really have the nerve to keep doing this."
"You can't win with others, but with an unworthy person like you, doesn't it show the difference?"
The carriage stopped.
The emperor and the prince got out of the car.
The sword master was sitting not far away, and Eunuch Wei was waiting on the side.
Xue San and Fan Li are preparing the beggar's chicken.
A Ming was setting the wine glasses;
Further out, there was a group of personal guards not wearing brocade clothes cruising around.
The emperor patrolled eastward to the Weihe River and then turned back. He passed through Fengxin City, picked up the queen and the prince, and set off back to the capital.
But in fact, the emperor himself took another route and headed west to Wangjiang River in a way of "invisibly patrolling" with Prince Pingxi.
The emperor did not sit down when Luan Jia was there, he just wanted to play.
"Ugh."
The emperor sat on the ground and sighed:
"My surname is Zheng. After seeing you this time, I don't know when I will see you next."
The prince also sat down next to him and said;
"Perhaps when you were dying, you would wait until I led the army to the capital, and then you would lie on the dragon bed, hold my hand, and ask me for help."
The emperor rolled his eyes at King Pingxi;
The prince continued:
"According to your temperament, you might even say hypocritically at that time, if the prince cannot be supported, you can take his place.
It seems generous, but in fact, before he died, he used our hypocrisy to block my way. "
"Let me ask you, Zheng, do you have such far-reaching thoughts? Have you clearly arranged my funeral arrangements?"
"Isn't this how all dramas are played? Don't worry. When the day comes, I will come as late and as slowly as possible so that you can hold on until the end. When Eunuch Wei shouts in surprise that Prince Pingxi is here, you can just close your eyes. , so that I don’t have to watch you dying and have to act again.”
When Eunuch Wei, who was laying out a blanket next to him, heard this, he trembled slightly;
Fortunately, Eunuch Wei was already used to this kind of unscrupulous behavior between the emperor and King Pingxi, which was even more terrifying than the relationship between the late emperor and the two princes.
"Zheng, let's talk about something practical. The first step is Wangjiang. After I crossed the river and met Luan Jia, I became my wife. There are some things I will say in letters in the future that are really not suitable for people to say to each other now.
Wei Zhonghe, get out of the way. "
"Yes."
Eunuch Wei stepped aside. On the blanket he had laid out earlier, there was a map of Zhuxia drawn on it.
"I sleep on this blanket every day. It reminds me of my unfinished business."
The emperor pointed at the blanket and said with some pride.
The prince curiously pointed to a damp spot in the corner.
"here……"
"Don't worry about this." The emperor blushed, and immediately returned to the topic, "Let's figure out the regulations in detail first.
I estimate that in another five years, we can basically make up for the previous shortfall, and the lives of the people of Yan and Jin can return to what they were before, even if they have little savings, and even if they are not stable for long;
But it is enough to cope with a foreign war. "
"The premise is that we can win." Zheng Fan reminded.
Five years of accumulation is enough to start a war, but the frequency of wars is still too high. The newly established people's livelihood, which seems stable but is actually fragile, will soon suffer extremely serious damage due to the arrival of a new round of war. .
But this doesn’t mean you can’t fight.
Just like the many consecutive foreign wars during the late emperor's reign, they were basically fought in this way.
The early stage is difficult, but as long as it can win, the army can gain military glory, the court can gain territory, and gains can be made by winning the war, this cycle can still be supported.
It's like climbing to the top and then going downhill, it's smoother.
The biggest problem for Dayan was that during the Three Kingdoms War,
The food supply at Nanmen Pass has been cut off.
This means that Dayan's national power is so poor that it can no longer even push uphill.
"Yes, so it is not realistic to directly destroy any one of them in one go." The emperor looked at the prince, "So..."
The prince waved his hand gently in front of him,
Road:
"You can cut half of it first."
"Snapped!"
The emperor stretched out his hand and patted the prince's hand.
Road:
"Correct."
Zheng Fan knew that the reason why the emperor suddenly brought up such a grand strategic topic was because the emperor had to modify it after learning about his physical condition.
Whether it is selfishness or greed for Qingshi's reputation,
Anyway,
The emperor is not happy to simply be a conservative emperor and pave the way for the next generation.
Although when he was the prince, the emperor complained many times that his father had done too much and was too distrustful of his descendants.
man,
Even if he is an emperor,
It is also inseparable from a double standard.
"Which half should be cut off first?" asked the emperor.
"No one knows what the world will look like in five years, but I prefer to attack Qian State first. Chu State has my old foundation to hold on;
Moreover, Qianguo is also fat.
After gnawing down the three sides, taking over half of the northern half of the Qian Kingdom, and conquering the Qian Kingdom across the river to become Nangan, then it will be much easier to decide whether to further gnaw the remaining meat or attack the Chu Kingdom on this basis. . "
The emperor shook his head and said: "But I feel that the meat of the Qian Kingdom has always been very tender. If we can deal with half of the Chu Kingdom first, we can be more relaxed when we turn back.
Just like my father, he first pulls out the most difficult thorns, and then leaves the less difficult ones to his descendants. "
"Ji Laoliu."
"Ok?"
"It's your health that's wrong, not mine." Zheng Fan glanced at the emperor, "Five years from now, it's up to me to decide how to fight."
"Isn't this nonsense? You must be in charge."
"So, there is no need to fight in this regard. Just save food and handle the logistics for the people."
"Can't you be more polite to patients?"
"Need it?"
"unnecessary."
"That's not right."
"But even if you show off, if I refuse again, I'll feel better."
"Hypocritical." The prince said disdainfully.
"Hey, you crow has the nerve to call others evil."
"Let's talk about other things. We can't decide now what the general trend will be in five years."
"Okay, in terms of people's livelihood, it will take three years to restore the basics, and another two years to select usable troops and horses for replenishment and rehabilitation, so as to strive for the time when we plan to use troops in five years.
In terms of logistics, auxiliary troops, and even combat troops, they are comparable to the level of the two rounds of the Yanchu National War that year. "
Because Ji Laoliu was the one who organized the logistics operations during the Yanchu War, so he was very clear about the actual costs involved. He dared to say this, which meant he was confident that he could do it.
The emperor tugged at his belt,
Road:
"I will give you twice the treatment King Jingnan received when he fought in the national war. If you do it twice, you will not be able to defeat even half of Qianchu..."
The prince answered:
"That's just to kill them. Their lives should not be cut off."
"Mom, can't it be because you, Zheng Fan, are useless?"
"Ah."
"When I go back, I will continue to expand the cabinet. It has been a few years since my father started the imperial examination, and it has greatly filled the gap in the court after the emperor stepped into the family. After that, the subsequent emperors will be able to Gradually it moved closer to the state of Qian, where the emperor and officials jointly ruled the world."
This is actually paving the way for the prince. After the prince ascends the throne, although he will face more constraints than his father and grandfather, the situation will be easier to appease and stabilize.
"We need to deal with the desert matter again. The current young King of Zhenbei is a little too cautious. Now the court still needs him to be more tough. At least, he must further suppress the desert ashes and let the court be better. Calmly free up your hands to deal with the next unification war."
"Yeah." Zheng Fan nodded.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Wenzu can still serve as the governor of Yingdu for another two years. In the third year, I will transfer him back to the capital and transfer him to the cabinet.
After a year of hard work, within two years, let him at least sit in the second assistant position.
What do you think? "
Xu Wenzu himself has this qualification and ability. The most important thing is that Xu Wenzu and Zheng Fan have an excellent relationship.
"Make up your mind."
"This is not something I can't make up my mind about. You, surnamed Zheng, are not willing to die with me. I have to arrange for the worst case scenario. I leave first, but you are still alive and kicking."
Zheng Fan shook his head,
Road:
“It’s not necessary.
Whether you arrange it well or not, when you kick your legs off, no one can stop me from doing whatever I want to do. "
Nowadays, the emperor of the Ji family can rely on his righteousness and his old foundation to suppress the Princes of Jindong and Pingxi without breaking out into face-breaking conflicts.
After all, Jindong's territory is so large and its population is so large.
But the problem is, under the premise that the Zhenbei Army has declined and the Jingnan Army has long been flirting with the King of Ping Xi, and considering the combat power of the Jindong Iron Cavalry under the leadership of the God of the Yan Army, the most optimistic people are afraid that they can only The imperial court estimated that it was a [-]-[-] probability.
And once the emperor dies and is replaced by a new young emperor...
The imperial court can really just lie down.
"Zheng, can't you be gentler? Chuanye has called you my godfather for a year."
"It's not about being gentle or gentle, it's just stating a fact."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, you bastard, when my father pulled out the thorn, why didn't he pull it out on you? Instead, he left me the biggest thorn in Dayan's body."
"Hahahaha." The prince laughed loudly.
"But, Zheng Fan, to be honest, if one day I really feel that I am about to die, I will leave a message. You can go to Beijing to help stabilize the situation of Chuanye and become the regent.
I can't worry about them being orphans and widowers. "
"It's too far."
"Well, I said it here, but what about you, five years, how far can your Jindong develop in five years?"
"One hundred thousand cavalry can be mobilized at any time without affecting the garrison situation, and an additional one hundred thousand auxiliary troops can be brought with them."
paused,
Zheng Fan said again;
"We can be self-sufficient in food, grass, military supplies and logistics."
The emperor began to settle accounts with his fingers.
Road:
"In other words, if you choose to start a war with Chu in five years, your light warriors will be able to pull out 20?"
This calculation is because once it is decided to attack Chu first, then because a large number of savage servants will be mobilized, most of the garrison at Xuehaiguan can be mobilized. At the same time, the garrison at Zhennanguan, Fancheng, Fengxincheng and other places will all be mobilized. Draw it out and use your troops against Chu in all directions.
In short, as long as the front battle is won, the home has nothing to worry about, so there is no need to guard the home at all, and all Jindong's troops and horses are on the card table.
"It's almost the same." Zheng Fan nodded.
This was the prediction given by the blind man and Siniang, and Zheng Fan believed in these two people.
Moreover, when it comes to fighting a national war and risking one's life, Jindong's system, which is similar to the Eight Banners system, can almost achieve a state where all the people are soldiers.
20 is the main army, but as for the auxiliary and servant troops, there can actually be more.
Of course, everything is on the line. If we fail to win, not only will Jindong's own ecology face collapse, but it may even lead to erosion of the surrounding environment in this important area.
"You still know how to do it." The emperor sighed.
The prince was noncommittal.
"If you calculate it this way, the troops and horses are enough."
The prince had no choice but to say:
"Dayan never lacks troops."
"I understand, I understand, I will try my best, I will try my best, don't worry, when the time comes, even if I refine the oil in my body, I will support you in fighting the battle of prosperity ahead."
"Ah."
“Actually, five years is enough time for some changes that we can look forward to.
Over in Chu State, the Xie family stands out. They seem to be very well-behaved, but how long can they really be well-behaved?
We have not taken action and have been accumulating strength. They may also have problems internally.
The Chu country colleague was afraid that he would feel very uncomfortable and continue to attack the declining nobles. He was afraid that they would really jump over the wall in a desperate situation.
As for the Qian Kingdom, it is actually more worth looking forward to. You have destroyed his access to the capital, and the prestige of the official family has been greatly reduced. Coupled with the Qian Kingdom's century-old emphasis on culture and suppression of military affairs, in the past few years, in our country, Yan If the status of warriors is greatly improved under the coercion of external forces, it is easy for an imbalance to occur.
In comparison,
After the end of the Three Kingdoms War,
The one who is most united and united internally is me, Dayan.
Passed the most difficult level,
Only then did I realize that although the stall my father left for me was a little shabby, it was really stable. "
"Ah."
The beggar's chicken is ready.
Eunuch Wei personally helped to tear it apart.
The emperor and the prince continued to chat for a long time while eating chicken.
then,
It seems that we have finished talking about everything.
Day after day,
It's starting to turn westward.
The time they spent sitting in silence with each other was more than half an hour.
The emperor suddenly overturned the wine glass in front of him.
said;
"My surname is Zheng. I've been explaining my funeral affairs for so long, but you actually admit it like this. Damn it, I'm still so young. I've only been emperor for two years. I've been in such a damn loss in this life. !”
The emperor's hidden emotions finally broke out.
This emotion first took shape when the blind man from the Prince's Palace in Fengxin City helped him inspect the dragon's body. The city wall of Xuehaiguan was opened, and then he traveled all the way and finally arrived here. When he was about to cross Wangjiang and return, he was completely ignited.
Sadly for the emperor,
He knows,
After he passed Wangjiang and was no longer in front of Zheng, he simply couldn't find another person to resolve his inner emotions.
Not even the queen.
The prince turned his head,
Looking at the emperor whose face was red with anger;
"When my father was dying, I told him that I would not become an emperor like him. He was really ruthless. I couldn't be ruthless, and I wasn't ruthless enough to myself."
The prince said calmly:
"I told you, it can be cured."
"Craniotomy? I also said that it is impossible for me to do this kind of treatment. Besides, the [-]% chance of success is too low, really too low."
"Oh."
"Then what? No more?" the emperor asked.
"You refused." The prince replied.
"Why are you always being pretentious? Why are you not willing to cooperate with me when I want to be pretentious?"
"Because I don't have the time." Zheng Fan said.
"No Kung Fu?" The emperor's face was a little ferocious, "I'm about to leave, and you tell me that you have no Kung Fu? You heartless bitch!"
"Ah."
Zheng Fan nodded,
then,
stand up,
What stood up together was not only the figure, but also another breath.
at the same time,
Eunuch Wei nearby and the Sword Master in the distance immediately raised their heads;
Fan Li and Xue Sanze, who were eating beggar's chicken, immediately stared at this place. A Ming, who had been drinking silently as if he was not contaminated by the dust of the world, also suddenly shook the wine in his glass;
After the prince got up,
Patting the python robe,
He stretched himself carelessly again,
Let out a sigh:
Say I have no conscience?
bitch,
I'm busy,
Not for you?
this moment,
King Pingxi enters the fourth rank!
