Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Although the matter of the border can be decided by the general himself, it still needs the approval of the imperial court or the consent of the officials sent by the imperial court. The imperial edict given to him by the lonely king is for him to implement it first. General Zhang plans to build a high platform ten miles north of Bao'an. People with prestige in the tribe between Dangxiang and them will make an alliance to ensure the stability of the situation in the northwest."

"Dang Xiang is really bad! He just wants to invade the Central Plains and always provokes."

"Yes." Defang nodded, "I remember the year before last, when Xu Jun and Qin Han led troops into the border of Fan, beheaded the bandits, and recruited many soldiers from the tribe. Not long after, General Xu led his troops out alone to patrol the police until they reached the mouth of Muxia in Longshan. Later, the Ministry of War thought that he had left the village for no reason and had no support, and reported it to His Majesty for fear of being a mad bandit. His Majesty issued an edict to refrain. Two months ago , His Majesty then issued an edict to replace General Cao Wei with General Xu who did not know the officials."

"General Xu has done meritorious service, so why do you still say that he doesn't know how to govern?"

"These are two different things. In fact, this is His Majesty's purpose to protect General Xu."

"Small don't understand"

"General Xu has made outstanding military exploits and is capable of defending the border, but he is eager to expand the border and keeps attacking. This makes the tribes in Dangxiang very panic. Many tribes have joined forces to defend. , often only bring a small number of soldiers and horses to patrol the border, His Majesty is worried that General Xu will fall into the enemy's encirclement if he is not careful, and His Majesty issued such an edict out of love for the general."

"So that's the case, Your Majesty is still wise." Baili nodded, "My lord, General Cao is even stronger."

"Yes, shortly after General Cao took office, he contacted several tribes such as the Kangnu tribe and Jianyi. They all had the heart to surrender and said that Li Jiqian was cruel and lifeless, so General Cao wrote to the court, please issue an edict to appease him. , Baili, do you know what will happen when the edict arrives?"

"how?"

"The chiefs who came to surrender heard that the imperial edict had arrived, and they all rushed to see it, and all of them wept."

Baili sighed after hearing this, "It seems that they were really bullied by that Li Jiqian."

"Well, the tribes in the Dangxiang territory are oppressed in this way. If they invade the Central Plains, it will be even worse for the people." Defang patted the edict aside, "Baili, this is the edict that has been drafted. Tomorrow's lonely king If you want to enter the palace, remember to bring it with you."

"Yes, my lord"

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the study, "My lord, my subordinate is Chongming."

Baili walked over and opened the door, "What's the matter?"

"Master Kou, the envoy of the third division, is here."

"Kou Zhun?" Defang was a little surprised, "What time is it, what is he running here for?"

"Go back to the prince, Mr. Kou said that he has something to report to you."

"He's okay, please come to the study."

"Yes" Chongming cupped his hands, turned and left, Baili asked, "My lord, is there something important about Lord Kou coming so late?"

"His affairs are not small, ouch." Defang sighed, "It seems that he is going to bed late again."

"The little one, let the national players come over first."

Defang nodded, Baili hurriedly brought Jin Shangde, took the pulse after drinking the soup, and Kou Zhun just came over, he bowed his hands and waited quietly when he saw this, after a while, Jin Shangde raised his hand and retracted his finger. "My lord, rest is very important to heal the wound. Drinking soup and medicine and acupuncture can only relieve the discomfort for a while. I hope that the lord can rest in peace, otherwise the injury will become a serious illness for a long time."
