When the war came, the capital lacked the joy and bustle of the past. Although they were familiar with wars that would always break out during this time of year, the people in the capital still felt depressed.

The fear and hatred engraved in the bones of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are really engraved in their bones. The memory of that time is really engraved in their bones. How prosperous and prosperous the Great Zhou Dynasty was back then, how tragic it became later.

General Wang Ce is looking at the sand table in front of him at the moment. This year's Five Barbarians are one month earlier than last year. This is not a good sign. He is thinking about the purpose of the Five Barbarians. Even if it is like this every year, the battlefield is changing rapidly and he must not take advantage of the Great Zhou.

Soldiers' lives are a joke.

"General Wang, your Majesty has invited me. Get up quickly and follow me back to the palace." A sharp and urgent voice resounded in front of the palace door. Wang Ce frowned. He raised his head and saw a gentleman walking over quickly. He was out of breath.

The airway is not connected.

"My father-in-law, why are you in such a hurry that the emperor summons the ministers back to the palace?" Wang Ce frowned.

"Yes, General. The other generals have also gone together. Is the Emperor furious?" Gonggong asked.

Seeing this, Wang Ce didn't hesitate, casually put on a coat and hurried out.

Arriving at the entrance of the palace, I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw three familiar figures.

"We're all here!" The four of them looked at each other and nodded to each other.

The father-in-law led the four people to the meeting hall. As soon as they entered the main hall, a powerful aura full of anger and deliberately suppressed immediately made the four people's faces change slightly. They quickly approached and worshiped the two figures on the collapse: "Kowtow!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty looked sullen and held a piece of paper in his hand. He didn't seem to hear the voices of the four people, but the queen next to him said: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen!" The four of them stood up, and when they suddenly noticed the figure sitting in front of them, their faces changed color again, and they saluted, "Join Yan Qiansui, Ling Qiansui, King Qin, and King Jing."

Prince Jing remained the same and said calmly: "Generals, there is no need to be polite."

There was silence in the meeting hall. Wang Ce was surprised and looked at the people around him. It can be said that there are some of the most powerful people in the Zhou Dynasty in this hall.

Yan Qiansui Yan Gandang and Ling Qiansui Ling Kun are the most trustworthy and famous ministers of the emperor and the most frightening ministers in the capital. They are the two great masters of the current dynasty.

A minister who can be granted the thousand-year-old age by the emperor has long been an extremely respected minister. But these two have long lived in the Sifangyuan. Why are they here today?

The three generals of the current dynasty, Gong Songling, Li Shijing, and Dugu Changxin, were also puzzled.

Dugu Changxin gently asked Eunuch Zhao who was standing aside, "Eunuch, what happened?"

Eunuch Zhao lowered his head and bent slightly, without speaking.

Just like the tranquility and depression before a violent storm, the frightening aura that permeated the entire hall persisted, and the only thing silent in the meeting hall was the sound of everyone's heartbeats.

"Two princes, please take a look. After reading it, pass it on to all the generals." After somewhat controlling his anger, the current Emperor of Zhou Dynasty made no move, and a letter half a foot long flew slowly.

When it arrived in Ling Kun's hands, Taifu Ling, who was a little drowsy at first, read it carefully. His eyes suddenly burst into unprecedented light, and then disappeared in an instant. Soon, he finished reading the letter and flew it into Taifu Yan's hands.

, in the same way, an astonishing breath shot out from his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, everyone who watched it exuded a different atmosphere,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When Wang Ce finally finished reading, a messy atmosphere filled the entire meeting hall.

Yes, everyone was horrified and deeply disbelieving by what the letter said. Their eyes were not only looking at the two figures on the collapse, but also at Taifu Ling.

The letter was sent from Jiangzhou City by the Grand Tutor's grandson, and what he said in his heart was exactly what Ling Xin'an did.

"Four generals, what do you think?" Emperor Zhou, who calmed down his emotions, asked in a calm tone, without any trace of his previous anger.

Gong Songling, Dugu Changxin, Li Shijing, and Wang Ce are the famous generals of the Zhou Dynasty today, with outstanding military achievements. At this time, they are in their prime and strong, but at this moment, they still have not recovered in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the marshal knows about it?" Dugu Chang believed.

"Back to General, I have already sent the urgent message to the Eastern Marshal!" Eunuch Zhao's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, can you please allow me to think about it?" Li Shijing said.

Silence returned to the meeting hall again, but Yan Gandang was looking at Ling Kun. The man who had been fighting with him all his life was also a little distracted at this time.

This kind of situation is really rare for people like them who have experienced countless storms and waves.

"Teacher Ling, what do you think?" Emperor Zhou's voice sounded softly.

Ling Kun's expression returned to its original state. He sat there calmly and could not see any clues. After a long time, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, you kid with a yellow mouth is talking nonsense."

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was silent, and the meeting hall was silent again.

"Your Majesty, I think it makes sense and I can do something about it!" Wang Ce stood up and said slowly.

"explain!"

"As the letter says, war is a waste of money. The reason why the five barbarians attack me during the autumn harvest every year is to consume the wealth of my great week, and what they consume are the old, weak, sick and disabled and reduce the unnecessary population, saving money.

The food that comes down is used to strengthen ourselves, and we will continue to consume our wealth every year. If things go on like this, the Five Barbarians are indeed growing, but I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are standing still. Wealth can be accumulated quickly, but soldiers need time to cultivate.

." Wang Ce considered his words.

"Furthermore, the situation mentioned in the letter is indeed as Ling Fuya said. Most of them are discarded or left on the battlefield without anyone recycling them. If it can be turned into wealth according to what he said, it can be regarded as a war.

New ideas for raising war.”

"I just feel that it is unreliable to hand these over to a group of profit-seeking businessmen." Prince Jing said coldly.

There was another silence in the meeting hall, because the matter was so serious that no one dared to express their thoughts at will. After a long time, Dugu Changxin said: "Your Majesty, in the past, cleaning the battlefield and collecting the spoils were reserved troops or militia, but

Most of them are afraid of encountering enemy attacks, so most of the time they just clean up the battlefield in a hurry."

Prince Jing and Prince Qin looked at Dugu Changxin strangely, but said nothing.

"Your Majesty, I think that no matter whether it is feasible or not, as long as we have this money, we can regain the lost territory." Li Shijing's voice suddenly sounded, and he looked at the two figures on the collapse and said.

"Wei Chen feels that since Dazhou has these ten million taels of silver, we don't need to just defend, but should take the initiative to attack. We can catch them off guard and regain our territory in Dazhou."

Gong Songling and Wang Ce's eyes lit up, and they suddenly felt enlightened. Looking at Li Shijing, they couldn't help but admire him. He was worthy of being the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

A military division.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall changed quietly, and the man on the floor said: "Speak!"

"Your Majesty, last year the Five Barbarians attacked me during the Autumn Wind, and the total cost of the attack was only 20 million taels. Although the appearance of the legendary magic sword Blood Princess caused the Five Barbarians to stop attacking, based on previous years' calculations, the total cost was only 20 million taels.

It’s just 40 million taels of silver. Sweeping the Autumn Wind is a short-term war. It doesn’t cost much, but it only costs more to raise troops.”

"If the Jiangzhou government office can raise ten million taels of silver, it will be enough to fight three wars to suppress the autumn wind. Even if the court does not allocate the silver taels, it will be enough to cause the five barbarians to lose several cities. We will have to wait for another day to regain our territory."

Li Shijing didn't know much about business, but he keenly discovered that if he had such terrifying wealth, he would have a great chance of fighting a good fight proactively.

Soon, Eunuch Zhao ordered people to take out the territory of the mainland and nail it on a board.

Li Shijing said casually: "Your Majesty, if you have this money, you can eliminate the barbarians in Youzhou, Dezhou, and Luzhou that are closest to me in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and take back the three states. Three to five states can be taken back from the northwest, southwest, and south."

Same thing."

"Your Majesty, this can be done!" Gong Songling and Dugu Chang believed.

King Jing said: "Four generals, what you said is based on having this money, but you have also seen that they opened their mouths and said in the letter that if they regain the lost land, they are allowed to settle in and develop it first. This is equivalent to

It is to search our land in Dazhou again."

The four people immediately fell silent. They really didn't understand business. Wang Ce said: "Your Majesty, the humble ministers think that what they want is just the right to do things cheaply. They don't care about marching and fighting. What they do...

I feel that it is really for profit. If there is no profit, I will not start early. This is the nature of businessmen. This is a true reflection."

"What if the imperial court allocates another 100 million taels?" Emperor Zhou said slowly.

Everyone was startled, but after a while, Li Shijing spoke again: "Your Majesty, there is no need to allocate so much more. The most important thing in this war is speed. When the enemy thought it was the same as in previous years and did not react, we destroyed it.

The enemy regains the lost territory, then builds walls to defend it, and then restores local people's livelihood. If the war is prolonged and the enemy wakes up, it will be a full-scale war."

The other three generals nodded, that was the truth. In the past ten years, Wu Yi's annual sweep of the autumn wind was actually consuming the living wealth of the Great Zhou Dynasty and curbing the growth of power. They used this time to strengthen themselves, so they were accustomed to follow the same rules as in previous years.

The method is to send a wave of people to death and consume a wave of Zhou soldiers at the same time.

"What happens after we win?" Emperor Zhou asked.

"Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty can rest and recuperate for two years, and the border can be peaceful for two years." Li Shijing said.

"This matter has been decided. The four generals will come up with the strategy for the war department, and the two princes will take care of the logistics for the household department."

"I obey the decree."

…

Late at night, in the secret room, Ling Xin'an sat on a chair and looked at the map on the wall. It was densely covered with marks, and some of them were marked with circles. Upon closer inspection, there were Youzhou, Dezhou, and Qingzhou.

etc.

"I've given you a chance to be proud and proud, to take back more than ten states. If you can't grasp it or turn your back after the thing is done, and you really want to overturn the table, I won't be afraid of you." Ling Xin'an sighed.
