"Hey!" Chen Xiao tightened the reins and raised his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"The villain is planning to go to Gaochang City to find the general!"
The soldier excitedly took out a document from his arms, "This is a document sent by someone from His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chen Xiao took the document from the soldier, did not open it, but put it into his chest, "I understand, go and do your work."
After saying this, Chen Xiao raised his riding whip again and hurried back to his residence.
After the victory, Chen Xiao was in Gaochang City for two days. Since there was no war, he didn't look embarrassed, but he was so busy that he never stopped and didn't take a proper bath for two days.
After returning to the military camp and washing up, Chen Xiao opened the paperwork.
Chen Xiao raised his right eyebrow, crossed his legs and put the document on the desk.
"Come here, summon all the generals to discuss matters."
As the deputy general, Huang Chunhui was the first to arrive. "General, we need to discuss how to fight next?"
Chen Xiao nodded slightly.
After all the generals arrived, Chen Xiao got straight to the point, "If Gaochang City is captured, Li Long may show weakness."
He captured Gaochang City with thunderous momentum, which not only inspired the military morale of Zhao's soldiers, but also severely shocked Li Long.
No matter how dissatisfied Wan Yanbai is, as long as he wants to keep the throne under his butt, he can only show weakness.
This result was not surprising to all the soldiers. One captain asked: "General, are we going to negotiate with the Lilong Kingdom in the future?"
"Negotiation?" Chen Xiao curled his lips and raised his voice slightly, "Of course we will continue to fight."
The generals in the tent all widened their eyes.
They knew very well what the rumor was about establishing the Long State to provoke the Zhao State. At first, they thought that Chen Xiao was using this to establish the Long State and vent his bad breath.
Or take down a few cities in the Lilong Kingdom to vent your anger.
But now, why does Chen Xiao seem to want to directly defeat the Lilong Kingdom?
"General, this food is not enough!"
A general who was slightly lower in rank than Chen Xiao said with a sad face: "It's not that we don't want to overthrow the Lilong Kingdom. It's really where we can get so much food to support such a big war."
Chen Xiao picked up the documents on the desk and threw them directly to Deputy General Huang Chunhui, "Pass them all down and take a look."
He leaned back relaxedly on his seat, his eyes and brows full of joy and excitement, "His Royal Highness has collected enough food and is now on the way to deliver it."
Chen Xiao put one hand on the armrest and silently tapped the armrest twice, "We just let go and fight."
More than 600,000 shi of grain?!
Every general who received the document from Zhao Jin was so excited that his face turned red and his eyes lit up.
If there is enough food and grass, it will not be a problem to win and establish the Long Kingdom!
For them, this is not only a bad breath, but also a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds!
"It seems you don't have any opinions anymore."
Chen Xiao paused deliberately. As expected, no one refuted him. He smiled and continued: "Then, let's discuss how to fight in the future."
Zhao Jin specially selected people to transport grain and grass to Mucheng.
In order to avoid the situation like last time, Zhao Jin not only checked the grain transportation officer thoroughly, but also asked the secret guards to keep an eye on the grain and grass in secret.
If you want to conquer the Long Kingdom, nothing will happen to this batch of grain and grass.
After the grain and grass were delivered smoothly, the Zhao State and the Lilong State completely broke up with each other. Chen Xiao sent people to spread rumors and denounce the Lilong State, and at the same time led capable soldiers to capture the cities of the Lilong State.
That posture was simply aimed at establishing the Long Kingdom and destroying it.
The war between the two countries was raging, burning the border red.
At the same time, after receiving Zhao Jin's "approval" approval, King Yan immediately packed up and set off for Bianzhou City.
King Yan's fiefdom is close to the south, but not too far from Bianzhou City.
Zhao Jin calculated the time and ordered people to make arrangements to welcome King Yan.
On the second day after King Yan sent someone to deliver the letter, Zhao Jin led a group of court officials to greet King Yan at the gate of the palace.
After seeing Zhao Jin from a distance, King Yan got off his horse, walked three steps at a time, walked quickly to Zhao Jin, clasped his fists and said, "I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite."
Zhao Jin had a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, thank you for coming all the way."
He stretched out his hand to hold on to Prince Yan's clenched fist, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a rest first?"
When King Yan heard this, he sighed deeply and did not directly acknowledge Zhao Jin. He turned sideways and his eyes fell on the motorcade outside the palace.
"Here are some grains that I have collected. It's not a lot, but it can also support the battle over the Tokugawa side."
Zhao Jin followed King Yan's gaze and saw fifty thousand shi of grain.
For a prince, 50,000 shi of grain is not a lot, but now that Zhao is in a special situation, it is already considered good for King Yan to gather 50,000 shi of grain.:
More than a dozen courtiers standing behind Zhao Jin also looked over.
Zhao Jin raised his hands, folded them in front of him, bent down and saluted King Yan, "I am here to represent the soldiers of Mucheng. Thank you for your great righteousness."
The courtiers also bowed their hands to King Yan and said, "The King of Yan is righteous!"
"His Royal Highness, your words are serious." King Yan quickly helped Zhao Jin up and said with a wry smile: "I can't help you much. These 50,000 shi of food are just a little thought."
"In the past few days, too many things have happened in the Zhao Kingdom. If His Highness hadn't shouldered the responsibility, the consequences would have been disastrous."
King Yan looked at Zhao Jin with eyes full of admiration and wonder.
There were internal and external troubles, the government was in turmoil, the Taoist priests were in trouble, the fake queen incident, the emperor's brother was seriously ill, and the prince hurriedly took charge of the country, and then came the scientific research reform and the war with the Lilong Kingdom.
If it were King Yan himself, after this series of events, he would probably be in a hurry, too tired to deal with it, and he wouldn't be able to care too much.
However, Zhao Jin's first supervision of the country not only firmly stabilized the entire court situation, but also focused on the problems in the Zhao court and began to think of ways to solve these accumulated ills.
When King Yan, who was far away in his fiefdom, heard the news coming from Bianzhou City, he was sincerely happy that Zhao Jin was the royal brother's biological son and that Zhao Jin could carry Zhao Jin.
King Yan couldn't hold back. Like an elder, he raised his hand and patted Zhao Jin on the shoulder, saying seriously: "Your Highness is the one who works the hardest."
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we enter the palace first."
Hearing this, King Yan nodded and walked side by side with Zhao Jin towards the palace.
After walking for a while, King Yan suddenly discovered something inappropriate. He turned his head and said angrily to Zhao Jin: "Why do you still call me Prince?"
Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was now Zhao Qian's biological son. Although King Yan had a different surname, he was once recognized as his adopted brother by Zhao Qian.
Before, he was the son of King Liang and was not familiar with King Yan. This chapter has been completed!
