In Nanjing, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival remains in this bustling city. Fragments of firecrackers can be seen from time to time on the ground, and some children wearing heavy clothes run and play on the streets.

Li Yunzhong stood on the palace wall and looked at the ancient Nanjing City. Every time he was moved, the road paved with bluestone, the palaces built with marble, the clear and flowing river water, and the well-style houses one by one. These scenery that had long disappeared in modern times were all built by the poor people with their hands.

Fu Luanxiang took a white cloak and presented it to Li Yunzhong with his hands, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside."

Li Yunzhong took the thick cloak, tied it to his body, looked at Fu Luanxiang's thin clothes, took it off again, and draped it on her shoulders: "Why don't you take one for yourself?" Seeing Fu Luanxiang struggle, as if the cloak was poisonous, he said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, you are a body of gold. What if you catch a cold?"

How could Fu Luanxiang resist Li Yunzhong? After a while, the cloak was honestly put on the beauty. Li Yunzhong held her hand and said gently: "Let's go, let's go down."

"Well" Fu Luanxiang lowered his head and his face turned slightly red. He followed Li Yunzhong, looking at the little hand held by Li Yunzhong, the crimson color spread from his forehead to his chest.

When Fu Luanxiang saw Li Yunzhong walking towards the backyard, he hurriedly reminded: "Emperor, Minister of War Lin Daji and others asked for a visit, and they were already waiting in the study room."

Li Yunzhong laughed and turned to walk up the study room.

"I will meet the emperor!"

"No gifts, my dear ministers can report military information."

Lin Daji presented a battle report to Fu Luanxiang and explained: "Report to the emperor, great joy! Jinggang's victory! Li Xiucheng came to report that Chen Yucheng, the commander of the new army, attacked Hubei, captured the Hunan general Li Xubin alive, and annihilated more than 10,000 Hunan troops, forcing the Hunan Army to return to the rescue. Li Xiucheng took the opportunity to attack the Hunan Army camp, and advanced hundreds of miles in a row, breaking more than 80 Hunan Army camps. Now our army has attacked Hukou, and the siege of Jiujiang cannot be solved."

Looking at the battle situation described in detail in the memorial, Li Yunzhong couldn't help but feel happy: "Okay! Chen Yucheng is indeed a good person. Li Xubin is the third person in the Hunan Army, second only to Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi. This time, it will definitely seriously damage the morale of the Hunan Army. Since the Hunan Army intends to retreat to Hubei, it seems that it is for Chen Yucheng. Li Xiucheng asked Chen Yucheng to enter Henan and return to northern Anhui. Can you come up with other countermeasures?"

Zhang Suimu bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Yucheng is alone and has taken in many sects. Although the number of Sichuan troops has increased sharply, its combat effectiveness will inevitably decline. If we go to Henan, we may have the will to take advantage of the situation and the strength will be insufficient. If our army follows the Hunan Army and take advantage of the situation to attack Hubei, it will form a situation of attacking both sides, and the chances of victory will be greatly improved."

Yang Jinlong laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's not attacking on both sides, but being defeated by each one! The Hunan Army has been operating in Hubei for a long time, and our army has no kindness to the people. The Hunan Army is waiting for labor. Our army has a long expedition. Moreover, Hubei has a vast territory and a unique terrain. People have long hated them for the disaster of long hair..."

Seeing Li Yunzhong's expression gloomy, Lin Daji scolded: "Rareless! How can our Han army be compared with the Taiping army?"

Yang Jinlong suddenly realized that the Han army was separated from the long hair, lowered his head and panted, and thought to himself how could Meng Lang be so today, and that for the sake of the Hunan Army, he would not have to pay his future.

Li Yunzhong calmed down his anger and understood in his heart that these scholars were very urgent towards the Northern Expedition of Youyan. They were eager to get rid of their rebellious traitors. The best way was to capture Yanjing and obtain orthodox status. This not only could he show up in a legitimate manner, but he could also position his opponents as rebellious and openly persuade them to surrender and conquer the expedition.

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Yang Kailin boldly advised: "Now that the Hunan Army is scared, and after retreating to Hubei, it will inevitably be in a slump. As long as our army sends a unit to defend Jiujiang, the rest of the troops can be attacked north. The Manchu emperor is unpopular, and the people in the north look forward to the royal army, Henan, Shandong, and Hebei Green Camp are all useless. Our army will be able to reach the city of Yanjing in March. I ask the emperor to send troops to attack north."

Yang Kailin was in a state of great excitement and couldn't help crying. He was a Shaanxi personnel and risked his family raiding and extermination. Although he was in a high position, he was worried about his family and friends all the time, for fear that the Qing army would investigate his background and slaughter his family and friends.

Yang Jinlong also spoke out and advised: "The Northern Expedition is an action that conforms to the heavenly power, and it is of great significance. The emperor thinks twice."

Emperors of all dynasties were eager to attack the enemy's capital as soon as possible, but why did the emperor always push back and forth? Yang Jinlong and his friends were puzzled and could only do their best to give advice.

Li Yunzhong took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought for a while. Even if the Northern Expedition Army could not attack Yanjing, it would not be wiped out like history. After thinking for a long time, he spoke: "Tomorrow the North Korea discusses the Northern Expedition!"

Yang Jinlong and others soon passed on the news of the Northern Expedition. All scholars celebrated each other and celebrated their impending rebellion. The camp composed of scholars was already a giant, and the Guangxi clan did not dare to offend easily, so they could only abide by the development of the situation.

At the court meeting, all the officials had arrived. The spacious hall of Chaoyang Hall was filled with more than 100, sixth ranks and above. Some officials looked pale and obviously had a serious illness. The officials who asked for leave also struggled to come to Chaoyang Hall with sickness, and were unwilling to miss this moment that determined history. If you are lucky, you can make a speech and be remembered forever.

"I will meet the emperor, I wish you a long life!" The loud voice reflected back and forth in Chaoyang Palace, and the lingering sound never dissipated for a long time.

Li Yunzhong resisted the urge to cover his ears and smiled awkwardly: "Today is unusual. Are everyone's enthusiasm very high?"

Lu Jianying glanced at the words of the court officer Li Yunzhong recorded in the book. A few black lines appeared on his forehead. He was afraid that the emperor would say something shocking again, so he hurriedly stepped out and said, "I will start the report to the emperor. This is the first grand ceremony for the Chinese New Year. Of course we are excited. Congratulations to the emperor. Last year, our army was invincible and its territory doubled. According to this development, we can unify the world next year."

"Please send troops to the north to unify the world!" The civil and military officials in the court seemed to be rehearsing, and they bowed together to ask for their orders.

"Accurate!" Li Yunzhong also saw the court official who was anxious to write, and his voice immediately became majestic.

Li Yunzhong looked at Lin Daji in the front row again and asked, "The Ministry of War has a good plan."
