Fu Song

Yelu Hongzhen fell into silence.

When Lin Jing and Linping father and son designed the Song Kingdom, there were two people who had to be removed, one was Jing Wang Zhao Zhe, and the other was Xiao Yu who was then the third envoy.

Of these two people, one has a strong appeal and cohesive force in the military, and is a real king who knows soldiers, while the other is the leader who led the economic policy of the Song Dynasty.

As soon as these two people left, Song Guo would lose his right and left arm.

As for Yelujun's infatuation with Xiao Qi at that time, for Lin Ping, it was out of consideration at all.

But later on, no one thought that Xiao Qi could reach such a height step by step, and Lin Ping, who was defeated in the political struggle, could only drink hatred.

Lifting his skinny face from the thick pile of fur, he stared at Xiao Qi: "Empress Dowager, did you ever like the first emperor?"

Xiao Qi smiled slightly: "Greater than Yue, is this important?"

"There are some things that I must confirm!"

"Yelu Longxu told you that Xian'er has gradually grown up, and I am still very young, and with the strength I have shown now, I will definitely not want to return the government to Xian'er." Xiao Qi said: " Are you worried about this?"

"Yes!" Facing a queen mother who was so smart and knew everything, even Yelu Hongzhen felt quite stressed.

"For me, power is just a tool!" Xiao Chuo said seriously.

"Is the late emperor also a tool?"

"He should be my partner!" Xiao Chuo waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for the arrangement he made before he died, I still liked him a little bit. After all, we have been together for so many years. Is it because the stone is also warmed up?"

Yelu Hongzhen sighed: "So, the last emperor's last edict is true?"

"Yes!" Xiao Chuo made no secrets. Of course, this also represents her current strong self-confidence.

Even if you are bigger than Yue, even if you know it, so what?
You can only pretend not to know.

"You can make Wanyan Starlings obey you, you can persuade Yeluzhen and Yeluhuan to be your saddle horses, and Yelumin is your minion, and the Han family will obey you." Yelu Hongzhen said: "Yelujun has been extremely confident all his life, It's just that he doesn't fully understand his own woman."

"But there is one thing, you can rest assured!" Xiao Chuo said: "I am not obsessed with power and position. The reason why I am like this now is because Daliao and Song are the most competitive in the world, and I must be at the helm. You Do you think that even if I return to Xian'er two years later, he will be able to take on this great responsibility?"

Yelu Hongzhen shook his head.

"Yelu Longxu and the others clamored so loudly, but they were standing on their grounds. At that time, I could be excluded and they would dominate the world. It's a pity, it's not that I underestimate them, even though Yelu Longxu is a rare Talent, of course, will not be my second brother's opponent. Those who think they can compete with my second brother have lost miserably so far."

"So even with the current strength of my Daliao, you still consider yourself weak?"

"I want to take advantage of the fact that Daliao still has a strong position, and fight ahead of time!" Xiao Chuo said, "I won't talk about economic matters, even now, in terms of economy, we We are still at a disadvantage, although we are striving to catch up. But in terms of military, our advantages are also being eroded by Xin Song."...

"Tell me, I heard that Lu Ben'an suffered a big defeat this time. If you hadn't protected him, I'm afraid he would lose his head!" Yeluhong really had a tinge of blood on his face. , will always be more interested in politics than in politics.

"Da Yue, the form of war is changing!" Xiao Chuo said softly: "Gunpowder weapons have begun to be used on the battlefield on a large scale. Gunpowder weapons have always existed, but the person who really gave him a powerful killing effect is who?"

"Could it be your second brother again?" Yelu Hongzhen said with a smile.

"I really let you talk!" Xiao Chuo said: "The gunpowder with powerful killing effect was made by my second brother. Later, my elder brother was the first to use it on the battlefield. It's just because the preparation is too dangerous. , and the output is too low, so it has not been used on a large scale. But now it is different, the Song people, we, including the Western Army, have a certain production capacity."

"I heard that your crafting camp has made throwing bombs, and the power is quite amazing."

"The Song people had artillery. Lu Ben'an's big defeat this time was because he was bombarded by dozens of artillery pieces from the front." Xiao Chuo said: "And at sea, the Song people's artillery began to be equipped on warships on a large scale. gone."

"Can't we make it?"

"It can be made, but the quality is too far behind." Xiao Chuo sighed: "For more than a month to make this kind of gun, several people have been killed. Bigger than Yue, in this, we will always be Chaser. I must end this war when our horses and knights still have absolute advantages. Because I am worried that in the future, a three-year-old child may also hold a gunpowder weapon and easily kill us. A brave cavalry trained over ten years."

"When can I see this cannon you speak of?"

"Let's wait for the weather to warm up! By that time, the Craftsman Camp should be able to produce some!" Xiao Chuo said: "Dayue, now at sea, our coalition forces with Goguryeo's navy are no longer Song fleets. Our opponent, the Song Navy, has already invaded our coastline unscrupulously. The strategic concept of the Song Dynasty's three-way attack on Liao is becoming a reality step by step."

"Is there any change in Goguryeo?" Yelu Hong was really sullen.

"Yeluhu is too strict there. There is only prestige, but no virtue, which makes the local people's dissatisfaction with us more and more serious. The people of Song Dynasty have used every opportunity to collude with the local people inside and outside. This winter, they have gone ashore several times. Although It was repelled by us, but this is just the opponent's temptation, so the strategic situation there must be changed." Xiao Chuo said.

"If Yeluhu comes back, who will take charge of the overall situation?"

"Luban!"

"How will Yeluhu arrange it?"

"Let him go to Xijing Road to help Yeluhuan!" Xiao Chuo said: "Governor Yeluhuan is old and lacks enterprising spirit, and all his thoughts are spent on wealth. Yeluhu is young and still wants to make achievements. After entering the Xijing Road, the pressure on the Western Army will be even greater, so that when we fight with the Song Army, the Western Army will not be allowed to get involved."

"You are very thoughtful!" Yelu Hongzhen nodded slowly: "It's just that I still don't understand a little bit."…

"The greater the greater, please speak up."

"Yelumin!" Yelu Hongzhen said: "Yelumin is a rare lucky general, why let him go west? Just to contain the western army is too far-fetched!"

Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "If I say that I am managing the back road, you will be surprised again!"

Yeluhong was really dumbfounded.

The current Daliao is undoubtedly the most powerful country in the world, but what is Xiao Chuo talking about?Business back?

"Containing the Western Army is just an unimportant part of his tasks. His main task is to go all the way west, destroy Hei Khan, and attack Huacizimo. Once we lose the battle with the Song Kingdom, There is a good place to go when we have to leave the land."

Yelu Hongzhen looked deeply at Xiao Chuo, and Xiao Chuo also stared at him without guilt.

"Don't think about victory, think about defeat first, yes, very good!" Yelu Hongzhen closed his eyes: "I understand your intentions, you can let go and do it! I will block for you what should be blocked for you Down."

"Thank you, Big Yue!"

"That girl from Xiao Bo's family is nice, don't make things difficult for her!"

"Da Da Yue is just joking. Xiao Bo died fighting for his country. How could I embarrass the hero for some people's petty thinking?" Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "I have already sent a special female officer to Xiao Bo. Family, we will announce it to the world after the first year, and after two years, the emperor will be able to get married!"

Lu Ben'an sat on the brocade bench with his head bowed. Sui County was defeated, which made him lose face. In order to keep him, the Lu family in Youzhou paid a lot of money and directly killed [-] of the [-] private troops under Lu's control. Fifth, it was handed over to the Queen Mother, and only then did the Queen Mother get her promise to protect Lu Ben'an.

Of course, the queen mother's promise can always be trusted.

After the [-] private troops were handed over, Lu Ben'an got the position of Governor of Korea.

This is no worse than the Governor of Hebei Road.

In other words, the degree of freedom is even greater.

Above the governor of Hebei Road, there is also Yeluzhen, the king of Zhennan who can't be sloppy!

And if he went to Koryo as the governor, he would be a proper local emperor.

The sound of footsteps came from my ear, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that the Empress Dowager Chengtian had come out from the back hall. Lu Ben'an stood up abruptly and bowed to meet her.

"Sit down!" Xiao Chuo rubbed his temples, "I just came back from Da Yue, and I kept you waiting for a long time."

"That old guy didn't embarrass the queen mother?" Lu Benan said.

Xiao Chuochi smiled, and did not follow Lu Ben'an's words, "I asked you to replace Yeluhu because Yeluhu really caused a lot of anger there, please tell me what you think?"

Lu Ben'an cleared his throat and said: "Queen Mother, since I learned of this appointment, I have been thinking about this matter. One of them, of course, is to rest with the people. After I go, the first thing I do is to punish corrupt officials. Pollutants, you can reduce or exempt miscellaneous taxes and corvees, have dozens or hundreds of heads to quell public anger, and give the people some economic benefits. I believe that in a short period of time, the chaos there will be calmed down. The land of Koryo, is Our rear area is the granary and the source of our troops, so everything should be stable."

"Ok!"

"The second thing is that I want to abandon the sea trade and ban the sea in Korea!" Lu Ben'an continued. …

"The reason? Do you know how much painstaking efforts and food I have spent for this navy!" Xiao Chuo said.

"Queen Mother, compared with the navy of the Song people, our navy is really too weak." Lu Ben'an sighed: "And these navy are obtained after we integrated the local people, and now they are at sea with the Song Dynasty The collusion of people has become a serious problem for us, not only to guard against the Song people, but also to guard against them, and the annual sea trade income cannot make up for the losses on this, so it is better to abolish it!"

"Go on!"

"No one can live in the fifty miles along the coast!" Lu Ben'an said fiercely: "The people in this area must be moved away. In this way, no matter how strong the Song navy is, what is the use? If they dare to go ashore and go deep, I can give it a head-on blow."

"This is a way!" Leaning his head on the back of the chair, Xiao Chuo looked at the roof and said quietly: "I've been thinking about this too, but it's just that it's a bit of a waste to destroy the navy that I built with my own hands. I can’t bear it. Now that you say this, you have helped me make up my mind, I don’t want those sailors and generals, but I will get all those sailors back and hand them over to Liu Zheng!”

"They are sailors at sea, and I'm afraid there may be some problems on the inland river."

"Isn't it faster than letting our Daliao warriors get on board and learn from scratch?" Xiao Chuo said, "Liu Zheng has already arrived in Qi State and started to build the Qilu Navy. Give him all these people. He wants to gain a foothold in the Huaihe River and The Song people are fighting for the top, not to mention that our navy can overwhelm them, at least it must make the opponent have scruples."

"Yes!"

"Going to Goguryeo this time, you can only succeed, not fail. If there is any mistake, I can't keep you!" Xiao Chuo waved his hand, "Write these suggestions of yours as an excerpt. Lu Ben'an, don't let this matter It's too simple to think. In Goguryeo, there are many people with too great interests there. Your actions will undoubtedly touch the interests of many people. They will definitely fight back wildly. You must be mentally prepared. "

"Behind me is the queen mother, and I am not afraid of anything!" Lu Ben'an said: "Short-sighted people only pay attention to small interests in front of them. How can I take such people seriously."

Xiao Chuo smiled: "But in this world, most people are short-sighted people. If you don't have a good relationship with these people and seek a compromise with them, you can't do anything. The idea is very good, but you must pay attention to the means. , don't force yourself."

"I understand, I will leave!" Lu Ben'an nodded.

Xiao Chuo stepped out of the gate and walked into the yard, the sky was filled with snow, the wind swept up the red, pink and white plum blossoms, and fell on her body together with the snow.

She looked up and closed her eyes.

Second brother, you have a very good saying, the strong do not need messy tricks, that is the patent of the weak, and the strong rely on their hard power to push through it all the way.

In another two or three years, I will be able to save enough money and food, and enough troops. At that time, my little sister, I will push over here with a million troops. Can you stop it?
Step by step, lay down a land, manage a land, and nibble away bit by bit. Then I want to see, second brother, what tricks you can play in front of your absolute strength!

After all, you are only the chief assistant, not the emperor.

You can't use the means I can use. I can make everyone revolve around me, but you have to keep fighting with the people inside.

So second brother, you are doomed.
