The military drum is loud.

Someone put away the gangplank on the warship.

The war ship slowly left the Chao Tide Gate Pier.

The river wind blew the big banner of "The Pingzhang Military and State Affairs of the Song Dynasty" loudly, and also blew Jia Sidao's red cloak.

People on the tide-watching platform in the distance cheered and threw down flower petals to see off the soldiers who were going on the expedition.

They live in the inner city of Lin'an and cannot experience the life of rural farmers. The tiredness and hunger of not being able to eat due to the soaring rice prices, the kind of tiredness and hunger that should have been saved by the public land law but were finally taken away by the public land law.

The pain and suffering of walking the last acre of land.

What Lin'an residents felt was the power of the Song Dynasty.

One of the three capitals has been recovered. This time Jia Pingzhang went on an expedition, maybe Luoyang and Kaifeng were also recovered?

They didn't care whether such an idea was practical or not. If they really wanted Jia Sidao to tell them strategy bit by bit, no one would listen.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Anyway, Qingfu Xiaoxianwei regained Guanlong in eight years, and Pingzhanggong had to achieve great results if he took action.

"Recapture the Three Capitals! Return in triumph!"

"..."

Jia Sidao stood on the bow of the boat enjoying the farewell, but when he heard those shouts, he couldn't help but frown.

He suspected that some hozen was deliberately flattering and killing him, and he felt that it might really be the voice of the people... he couldn't tell.

Over the years, as his official position got higher and higher, he became increasingly confused about what they thought. Sometimes he really wanted to implement benevolent policies to please them, but in the end, he was still scolded, and even more people called him a traitor.

There have been many strange folk songs in the streets and alleys in the past two years, but the mastermind behind them has not been found, making people suspect that they were composed by the common people.

At this time, hearing this request to regain the three capitals again, Jia Sidao lost interest and turned back to the cabin to remove the stomach of his body. He felt uncomfortable with the strangulation.

"Ping Zhanggong, this is an urgent message from Xiangyang. I hurriedly arrived just before the ship sailed."

Jia Sidao took the letter, read it, put it away, took another cup of tea and drank it, thinking deeply.

Others looked at him, still calm and calm, but he didn't notice the boat rocking and the tea spilling on him.

After a long time, he finally cursed.

"The thieves and bastards are shot out by donkeys and oxen, and the birds and hozens are shot out by dogs."

The person being scolded was Dong Wenbing.

Over the years, Jia Sidao has fought against Uncle Xie Fang, Ding Daquan, Wu Qian, Cheng Yuanfeng... which one of them is not cunning? But he has never lost in terms of intelligence.

This time I fell into the trap of a country bumpkin, so I was inevitably angry.

He really doesn't have much energy.

"Ping Zhanggong..."

"Send someone to Luoyang and bring Dong Wenbing's head back to me to play Cuju."

"This is."

Jia Sidao finally calmed down, pushed the empty teacup, stood up, and walked out of the cabin.

"Return to the teacher."

"Mr. Pingzhang, the officials personally support you, and the people all over the city are watching..."

"Otherwise, what if the information is wrong? Can I attack the King of Qin whom I canonized in the Song Dynasty?"

Jia Sidao was narrow-minded towards Dong Wenbing, but very open-minded towards himself. He said to himself: "The intelligence was wrong. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mistakenly believed that Li Ling taught the Huns to become soldiers and destroyed his family... It almost made a big mistake."

Shaking his head and smiling, he continued to walk out and ordered: "Send a message to Lu Wende and ask him to withdraw his troops. Don't fall into the Yuan people's provocation plan."

Liao Yingzhong hurried over, read Lu Wenhuan's letter, and advised: "How about Ping Zhanggong go to the Yangtze River for inspection and return in triumph in ten days?"

Jia Sidao raised his finger and pointed to the tide-watching platform in the distance without saying anything.

The reason why I want to go to Sichuan and Shu this time is because Li Xia is dead, so there will definitely be a big achievement, and the situation is extremely dangerous. The officials in the court dare not make trouble while he is away... In other words, it is worth a gamble.

Bundle.

But Li Xia was not dead, and the Yuan army could not attack Tongguan at all, so it was no longer worth the gamble.

Just looking at the attitude of the people in the city today, Jia Sidao does not dare to leave Lin'an...

~~

Chen Yizhong glanced at the tide-watching platform and then at the officials on the pier. He quickly guessed the choice Jia Sidao would make.

"Ping Zhanggong will never dare to leave the court."

Muttering to himself, he quickly rushed to the official's palace.

"Chen Yizhong asks to see the officials... Your Majesty! I have something important to ask for!"

"..."

Zhao Fu felt very uncomfortable due to the river breeze today. His nose was stuffy and he felt dizzy. He wished he could go back to the palace to sleep after seeing off his master.

Suddenly he heard another official asking for an audience, and his instinct was to resist.

But the eunuch around him reminded him that Chen Yizhong was Jia Pingzhang's man, so Zhao Fu still called him forward to meet him.

"Your Majesty! I congratulate Your Majesty on the good news! The good news..."

Chen Yizhong saluted, his whole body trembling.

He knew that he was making a huge bet with his future, betting on the accuracy of the information, and betting that he was right about Jia Sidao's thoughts.

But it's no good if we don't gamble. Promotion is too slow to follow the rules and is not enough to take power as soon as possible to save the country.

At this moment, Chen Yizhong regained the boldness he had when Fequé wrote the letter.

"Good news. Your Majesty has a sharp eye and has entrusted the King of Qin with the affairs of the country. Today, good news has come. The King of Qin defeated the Yuan army at Tongguan... Duke Pingzhang no longer needs to go to war."

Zhao Fu listened, dumbfounded, and felt very disappointed.

He really wished Li Xia would die.

He had just learned of Li Xia's death a while ago, and he had stayed up all night to celebrate.

Good news?

Good news.

"Your Majesty! Please punish Jia Sidao for lying about military information!"

I didn't pay attention to who shouted like this, and the dock felt like a pot was exploding.

Zhao Fu had long been accustomed to it. He just stared at the Qiantang River stupidly, thinking that it would be embarrassing to call the teacher back now...

~~

On this day, all civil and military officials in the court could not express their feelings.

It was a grand mission to mobilize the troops, but in the end they returned in despair. In front of the whole Lin'an City, a show of mediocrity and stupidity was staged.

The King of Qin was no longer under the control of the court, and could not confirm even a single message. If the court wanted to know about the situation in Chang'an, it had to go through the Yuan army, like a blindfolded fool.

Disgraced.

Many officials in the palace and various government offices showed signs of frustration.

"It's rare that the princes and Jia Sidao reached a consensus to take back Sichuan and Shu. Unexpectedly, they became the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water."

"I thought the imperial court could get rid of a traitor..."

On the contrary, Jia Sidao, who had been humiliated by the incident, could no longer care about the humiliation caused by the incident after returning to the Privy Council.

He called Chen Yizhong and said, "You did a good job today."

"It's appropriate to be promoted by grace and do something within your scope."

"Read this letter."

Chen Yizhong stepped forward and took it with both hands, thinking that since he had heard the news about Li Xia's death from the messenger, he didn't know what kind of bad news Lu Wenhuan could tell.

As soon as I glanced at it, the word "Western Region" came into view, and I felt that it was far out of reach...

"Unexpected." Jia Sidao sighed.

Chen Yizhong couldn't suppress the shock in his eyes and said: "So Yuan Ting is really afraid of Li Xia to this point... If we don't attack Sichuan and Shu together, Dong Wenbing doesn't have the confidence to win over Li Xia?"

"Li Xia has already defended Guanzhong once."

"The student thought it was the civil strife in Mongolia, but he was lucky..."

"The situation in the world has changed." Jia Sidao said softly, "He is not a fluke. He has already achieved one-third of the result."

With these words, he recalled the time when he persuaded Li Xia to help him implement the public land law.

At that time, Li Xia said that Jia Sidao's path was impassable, but he thought that Li Xia didn't even have a path.

However, it has only been a few years, and that young man is actually going to find a way out?
