Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 98 Changes in the situation

Zhao Yuankai read the secret letters presented one by one, and at the end, his face was extremely cold,

"boom!"

A palm slapped on the dragon case, making His Highness Sun Xinwu terrified.

"Private taxes and servitude, fish and meat merged into the state, completely treated the people of Bingzhou as the slaves of his Yanmen Yuan family!"

"The few mines in the north of Bingzhou dare to cooperate with Beirong to develop them privately. This Yuan family of Yanmen is simply lawless!"

Zhao Yuankai was furious to the extreme!
He originally thought that Yuan Zhuo was the biggest culprit in Bingzhou.

But I didn't expect that the Yanmen Yuan family behind Yuan Zhuo was the real den of thieves!
"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the prince and the prince sent the memorial again urgently from Shangjun, Bingzhou!"

The eunuchs in front of the palace kept running inside and out, presenting several memorials one after another.

And they were all sent from Shangjun, Bingzhou, it was urgent!
"The Yuan family of Yanmen actually made peace with Beirong?"

"The six counties of eight prefectures are running out of money and food!"

"Shangjun has only [-] soldiers and horses, and Xihe County has completely fallen!"

One bad news after another made Zhao Yuankai furious like never before!

He pinched the memorial tightly in his hands and turned it into powder. His eyes were cold and terrifying, and he sternly reprimanded:

"Yanmen Yuan Family!"

"What a Yanmen Yuan family!!"

Although the current Han Dynasty is torn apart, it is only internally disintegrated.

But now this Yanmen Yuan family directly colluded with foreign enemies and began to embezzle the land and resources of the great man.

These years, they looted all the grain mines in Bingzhou, forced the middle-aged men among the common people to become civilian husbands, and drove them to the northern region of Bingzhou to become slaves of the Yanmen Yuan family and the Beirong Tribal Kingdom!
This... this traitor!
Although Zhao Yuankai was furious, he remained calm.

He looked at Sun Xinwu coldly and asked:

"How is the national strength of the Beirong tribal country now? How many troops are in command?"

"My Majesty, the Beirong Tribal Country is a nomadic tribe outside the Yanmen Pass, with a population of less than 30."

"However, with the traitorous help of the Yuan family of Yanmen in recent years, the population of the Beirong tribe has exploded, and the country was established 20 years ago. Now the population is 60, and the standing army is at least 15!"

"In addition, the Beirong tribe is still an uneducated and barbaric land, so the folk customs are extremely tough, and the individual combat effectiveness is very strong!"

Sun Xinwu told the truth.

Zhao Yuankai squinted his eyes slightly, and his mind became more and more gloomy!

The Beirong is a nomadic tribe. If it has a standing force of 15, there must be at least [-] cavalry among them.

Although their cavalry is still in a primitive state, without saddles and stirrups.

But the number of one hundred thousand, this is an astonishing number!

but!

Zhao Yuan is not afraid!
Because he has the Huan Shou Dao, the strong man in the history of China is because of this Huan Shou Dao, which directly pacified the border war, and beat the Xiongnu to pieces!
"Xihe fell, and Bingzhou Shangjun became the last line of defense, but now we are running out of food and grass!"

"Come here, ministers of Xuan Bingbu and Hubu ministers come to see us!"

Zhao Yuankai ordered in a cold voice.

After Chuanzhao eunuch took the order, he ran out quickly.

Zhao Yuankai walked down from the dragon case and paced back and forth in the Xuanshi Hall, his brows furrowed deeply.

The war in Bingzhou is completely different from before!
This involves the Beirong tribal country, which is already a small-scale national war!
The Yuan family of Yanmen, who guarded the Beiguan of the Han Dynasty, directly handed over Yanmen and let 15 Beirong cavalry drive straight in. This situation is only serious and impossible to predict!

At this time.

Concubine Xiaoyi appeared outside the hall, her graceful and luxurious face was full of anticipation, and after bowing, she said:
"Emperor, 33 beauties are already waiting in the Hall of Harmony. Aijia respectfully invites His Majesty to go and select them."

"Toffee, the situation in Bingzhou has changed suddenly. I don't want to take care of this now. Those beloved people should be dismissed." Zhao Yuankai waved his hand.

Concubine Xiaoyi was stunned again.

And... want to dismiss again?

and many more!

A sudden change in the situation in Bingzhou?
Concubine Xiaoyi's only biological prince and prince are currently in Bingzhou!
"Emperor, the Ai family would like to ask what happened to Bingzhou?" Dowager Xiaoyi asked.

"The harem must not interfere with the military affairs of the country!" Zhao Yuan said coldly.

Concubine Xiaoyi's complexion changed, only then did she realize that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked, she quickly bowed her body to apologize, and then said stubbornly:
"Emperor, the good people are the son of the emperor once they enter the palace. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to send them back. Aijia waits for the emperor to be free, and then invite the emperor to choose nobles!"

"also!"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

At this time, the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War have already stepped outside the hall.

Concubine Xiaoyi knew that the emperor had something important to discuss, and after bowing to salute, she withdrew from the Xuanshi Hall.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor!" The two ministers bowed and bowed.

"Free gift!"

"I asked you to come here and order you to open the treasury's granary immediately and transport the military rations to Shangjun of Bingzhou. This batch of military rations must at least guarantee the food and clothing of 10 people for a month!"

Zhao Yuankai gave the order without any nonsense.

The situation in Bingzhou is equivalent to a national war, and the right thing is the nomadic cavalry. The situation cannot be settled in a day or two.

Moreover, Zhao Yuankai didn't want a quick battle, because the longer the confrontation, the higher the mass-produced product of Huan Shou Dao, and the easier this battle will be!
however……

Mr. Hubu expressed his embarrassment in writing, and immediately knelt down and said:
"Report to Your Majesty, there is no shortage of gold and silver coins in the treasury, but there is not enough granary in the treasury. I am afraid that it will not be able to maintain the rations of [-] troops for a month!"

"Can't sustain it? What about the food?" Zhao Yuankai was furious.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the country has been in turmoil in the past few years, and the years have not been good. The national treasury is almost empty every year. The gold and silver coins are collected, but the food is..."

"That's all! Tell me directly, how much military rations can Guocang provide?" Zhao Yuankai didn't listen to the reason.

"Your Majesty, at most...at most seven-day rations for 10 people!" Hubu Shangshu tremblingly said.

Seven days?

What's the use of seven days!

Zhao Yuankai's mind is now extremely serious.

Food is different from gold and silver coins. The productivity is low, and the annual harvest is not good, so there is really no surplus!
but……

Without sufficient logistical support, what can we use to fight the national war?
At this time.

The eunuch outside the palace came to report again:
"Your Majesty, Xuanmeng General Chen Qingzhi personally led the white-robed army squadron back to the court, and asked the face to return!"

"Show him in!" Zhao Yuan opened the way.

Soon.

The white-robed Confucian led Chen Qingzhi into the Xuanshi Hall.

He kowtowed and saluted, but his face...was also a little dignified and gloomy, and he said bluntly:
"Your Majesty, I will lead the troops back to the court from Dongping at sunrise. Before leaving, General Zhao Yun asks me to ask Your Majesty a word on his behalf!"

"What?" Zhao Yuankai asked.

"The people of Jizhou are too hostile to the king, which has added a lot of obstacles to General Zhao Yun's control of Jizhou, so General Zhao Yun asked His Majesty, what strategy should we use to deal with it?" Chen Qingzhi said.

When Zhao Yuankai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Jizhou...

This is a rich and granary state!
