"My beloved, you don't know that this guy was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He looked like that... tsk tsk tsk, he deserves it!"
In the main hall of Feiyuxuan, Zhao Yanxun's cheerful voice came out.
The news of Zhang Guangshi's beating three days ago reached Zhao Yanxun's ears, and now he was sharing the matter with Lin Jingyu.
Now that Lin Jingyu has become pregnant, it is extremely difficult to move around. It is freezing outside the palace, so she stays in the house most of the time.
With "air conditioning" and dramas to follow, her life is not boring.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was lying on the soft couch, while Lin Jingyu was leaning on the cushion beside him.
But Zhao Yanxun's laughter did not resonate with Lin Jingyu.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's funny?"
"My beloved, don't you think it's funny?" Zhao Yanxun asked.
Turning the palace flower in her hand, Lin Jingyu said leisurely: "I just feel that if the prince is as knowledgeable as him, wouldn't he be inferior?"
Sitting up from the soft couch, Zhao Yanxun shook his head and said: "It's boring... I wanted to make you happy, but you told me that you are serious!"
Hearing this, Lin Jingyu smiled: "My concubine finds it funny how the prince behaves!"
Grabbing Lin Jingyu's little hand, Zhao Yanxun pretended to be fierce and said: "You are so brave, how dare you laugh at me!"
Catching Zhao Yanxun's gaze, Lin Jingyu asked seriously: "I already know that I have committed a crime. Could it be that the prince also wants to punish me?"
"According to Gu's wishes, at least I have to slap you, but if you are pregnant, I will punish you... to give Gu a son!"
Lin Jingyu smiled sweetly: "Then the prince should be in charge, who knows whether the concubine is pregnant with a boy or a girl!"
Zhao Yanxun also laughed, and the cheerful atmosphere in the room made several maids waiting at the door also laugh.
But at this moment, Huo Ancong appeared at the door.
"Your Majesty, all the secret envoys and thousands of households have already met at Jinshen Palace!"
"knew!"
Looking at Lin Jingyu beside him, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "My dear concubine, I'll come back during lunch!"
Seeing that Zhao Yanxun was about to leave, Lin Jingyu stood up and said, "I will send you off to your highness!"
"No need, I just want to rest, my dear concubine!"
With a smile on his face, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the dormitory.
Snowflakes were falling outside and the weather was extremely cold.
Walking out of the hall in the snow, several young eunuchs held umbrellas and trotted to keep up.
When we arrived at Jinshen Hall, several ministers were already there.
Walking into the east side hall, Zhao Yanxun glanced at everyone and said, "It's still warm here!"
"See Your Highness!"
Zhao Yanxun did not go to his seat, but came to the sand table.
The main purpose of calling these ministers here today is to discuss the matter of marching and fighting.
Raising his hand, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, please forgive me!"
After everyone stood up, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Tell me, how are the early preparations for the upcoming use of troops against the North?"
Only Guan Hetai can answer this question, and he will be mainly responsible for the later stages of this matter.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Privy Council has completed the preparation of the grain, grass and ordnance required for this Northern Expedition the day before yesterday. After approval by Your Highness, it has been handed over to the Chief Secretary for allocation!"
Seeing Zhao Yanxun's expression of impatience, Guan Hetai spoke faster and said, "The afternoon before yesterday, all kinds of materials were shipped out of the warehouse in an orderly manner and have been transported to the front line one after another!"
Zhao Yanxun asked: "How many things have been sent to the south bank of the river?"
Guan Hetai replied: "As of noon today, we have transported five hundred shi of military rations, enough to feed two thousand people and horses for half a month!"
Being able to transport so much food in less than two days was entirely due to the Bahe waterway.
The Bahe River is directly connected to the big river and flows downstream from Yuanyang, which greatly saves manpower and material resources and improves transportation efficiency.
Nodding, Zhao Yanxun said: "We still have to continue transporting grain, and we must store at least 10,000 stones of grain!"
Ten thousand stones of grain, if only the Northern Expedition army ate it, could last for more than ten months, but obviously Zhao Yanxun would not let the war last that long.
The extra grain was used to win over the northern capital. Later, Zhao Yanxun would transport grain to the north again as needed.
Looking at the two thousand households, Zhao Yanxun said: "Fang Sheng Wang Cheng, food and weapons have been prepared for you, let's talk about it... After crossing the river, how do you plan to use the troops?"
These two men were the ones leading the troops north. They had been thinking about how to deal with it for the past two days after receiving the order.
This time going north, there are two main tasks.
One is to capture Pingshan Fucheng, and the other is to defeat the Imperial Army.
Just listen to Fang Sheng's reply: "Reporting to your highness, after the two ministers combined, they plan to cross the river tomorrow morning, rush to Pingshan Fucheng tomorrow afternoon, and capture Pingshan Fucheng the day after tomorrow!"
The Qianhufu under them is full of first-class soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
When Cui Xing'an and Gao Zheng'an led their troops southward and broke into the pass together with the Guards Division, Fang Sheng and his two men led their men to eliminate zombies everywhere in Longyou territory.
Since defeating Zhu Jinzhang, Fang Sheng and his two men have never been idle and have been fighting with their men.
Although he believed in the abilities of Fang Sheng and the two of them, Zhao Yanxun still reminded: "What you said is a bit full. This time you want stability when going north, don't rush for quick success!"
"yes!"
Zhao Yanxun continued: "Your mission is to intimidate the Forbidden Army in Pingshan Mansion. You must attack steadily, do you understand?"
"yes!"
Zhao Yanxun asked again: "After taking Pingshan Mansion, we will be not far from the Forbidden Army. How do you plan to use troops against the Forbidden Army?"
Then Wang Cheng hooked up his waist and replied: "Your Majesty, according to the information sent back by Lin Baihu, the Imperial Army stationed in Hongxi County, Pingshan Prefecture, is the infantry of the Huben Left Guard!"
Last time when asked by the East Branch Office, Lin Dagui only told the most important information, and then he repeated the more detailed information.
"Although they have three thousand people, I thought... I and Fang Qianhu could defeat them with only fifteen hundred soldiers!"
The two of them had a combined force of 2,000, but they only left 500 to defend the city of Pingshan.
"Since we are stationed in the county, do you want to attack by force?"
Attacking the county seat by force is a very inferior method.
Wang Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, our army can show the enemy's weakness, lure them out of the city, and then defeat them!"
"Since you want to show weakness to the enemy, then... when attacking Pingshan City, you must show weakness!"
Zhao Yanxun pointed to the north bank of the river and said: "In Beidi County, their spies are indispensable!"
"Prince Mingjian!"
"I'm not a fool, you should consider the problem comprehensively and use your brain more!"
"yes!"
There was silence in the hall, everyone was waiting for Zhao Yanxun's instructions.
"Ten days... Within ten days, you will have achieved results. By then, Luo Lun and the others will have arrived at Bei'an Mansion!"
Zhao Yanxun's words gave a ten-day deadline, which was actually in conflict with what he said about a steady and steady approach.
But everyone present understood the reason for such a request.
Laurent is going to negotiate and must perform well and flex his muscles to make Laurent's negotiation go more smoothly.
Next, after another careful deduction, the whole discussion came to an end.
This discussion also sounded the clarion call for war in Beidi County.
