Bianjing, the capital of Liang Dynasty.

This is the largest capital city in the Liang Kingdom. It is a big city that is both heavy and full of cheerful commercial atmosphere.

The reason why these two completely different styles appeared at the same time was the rule of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Zhu Wen.

Setting his reign name after Liang Wu showed his own style, and he often regarded himself as Emperor Wu.

His style is tough and tough.

After he ascended the throne, he vigorously developed armaments and became more martial.

But he is not completely militaristic. He knows that if he wants to have strong military equipment, he must have strong national power as support.

At the same time, he vigorously developed agriculture and encouraged farming.

Liang State is located in the southwest. There are many mountains and hilly basins in the country, but the land is very fertile and the harvest is excellent.

After twenty years of recuperation, agriculture developed greatly. At the same time, Emperor Wu of Liang did not just stick to this.

He also learned from the State of Wei and focused on the development of commerce and trade, taking both into consideration and advancing agriculture and commerce at the same time, which greatly increased Liang's national strength.

Bianjing has since become a prosperous place for commerce and trade.

It is connected in all directions, has a large population and is extremely prosperous.

Even if the country is engaged in a large-scale war, it will not have any impact at all.

The citizens of the city have no sense of leisure, at least not yet.

Although prices have increased a bit, it doesn't have any impact.

This also shows from the side the power of Liang Guo and the great national self-confidence!

Yes, they are very practical.

Because they have the most powerful emperor... Emperor Wu of Liang!

But what they don't know is.

The battle ahead is not going well, and the subsequent increase of 500,000 troops is not part of the original plan.

It's just that the bad part of the frontline battle report was cleverly covered up by Emperor Wu of Liang.

Even some court officials did not know the inside story.

Zhu Wen knew that what was more terrifying than the war itself was its impact.

Once something bad comes back, it will first cause people to panic, and then various problems will arise.

So he covered it up.

Anyway, the final result will definitely be victory.

The people of the city, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Zhu Wen himself all thought so.

Therefore, everyone does not care, and only needs to wait for the news of victory from the front line, just like the victories that have been achieved many times...

But as the emperor, Zhu Wen naturally couldn't help but care.

The lion still needs all his strength to fight the rabbit.

He knows this very well.

After the failure of the first general attack, he stopped being vigilant, so he continued to send more troops...

"How many days have the extra troops been sent? Are they almost reaching the border?"

Emperor Wu of Liang, who was dealing with government affairs, put down his memorial and asked.

He stood up again and walked to the wall on the left.

There is a large map posted on the wall, and the combat area is naturally included in it.

He reads it several times every day.

"Your Majesty, you have to ask this question every day."

Prime Minister Pang Shigu said: "It should be arriving soon."

Only he dared to respond so casually.

This is a side palace. Its simple interior decoration is different from the luxury of other palaces, but it is the real core of the Liang Kingdom!

This is the inner court!

In order to improve administrative efficiency, Emperor Wu of Liang established an inner court and an outer court.

The inner court is an institution dedicated to serving the emperor and handling government affairs.

"Can you keep up with the military supplies and food supplies?"

"no problem."

Pang Shigu responded: "If food and grass follow the army, there will only be enough and not insufficient."

"That's fine."

Zhu Wen said: "The daily needs of a million-strong army are huge. Similarly, if there is a shortage, it will lead to instability in the morale of the army, which will lead to other problems."

He who regards himself as Emperor Wu is a person who is good at conquering and fighting.

Naturally, we know the pros and cons of this.

"The enemy will definitely start from this aspect, but Yang Shihou is an old commander and will be vigilant."

"Although this is true, it consumes too much, and it will be too much to bear in the long run."

Pang Shigu was in charge of this matter and knew how stressful it was.

"It's okay. As long as we can win, capturing Dakang is worth it."

Zhu Wen was very calm.

Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.

Otherwise what's the use?

"Just wait, there should be no problem."

Zhu Wen looked away from the military map.

How can there be any gift of invincibility if the strength of the troops is several times different?

There is no suspense in this war.

From his point of view, Dakang is destined to die!

This is not blind arrogance, but backed by strong strength.

If you don’t have any self-confidence, why fight?

"It must be no problem."

Pang Shigu added another sentence.

"Haha, that was my choice of words."

Zhu Wen laughed.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Pang Pang, I have seen several excerpts here, and they all tell the same thing. I always feel that there is something wrong."

At this time, there was an inner court official reporting under him.

"What is it?"

"In Lingying County, Hongmen County, Dongsi County and other areas, people have been robbed. The description in the book is that the people who robbed are powerful riders, who move quickly and come and go like the wind!"

Chen Qi frowned and said: "There are still people who see it as a soldier's armor. This is too unusual."

"Let me see!"

Pang Shigu came to him and looked through several excerpts.

The things reported were very similar, and the encounters were almost the same, and they happened frequently in several places!

"The powerful cavalry is suspected to be a soldier?"

Zhu Wen also came over.

"Are there any other discounts like this?"

"No more for now."

"What's going on?"

Pang Shigu asked doubtfully: "Could it be that there are wandering horse bandits?"

"This shouldn't be the case."

"Immediately send people to these counties to inquire about the details, and also check whether there are similar incidents in other places."

Zhu Wen ordered.

If there are any abnormalities, we need to investigate, and this still involves suspected soldiers.
