Horse on the World

Chapter 800
When the door closed, An Ruosu's eyes immediately recovered, and he pulled Shang Shuhuan into the room, "Why did you come so early, several days earlier than the scheduled date?"

Shang Shuhuan looked around the room, "I was in a hurry, so I was in a hurry."

Looking at the scarred face, An Ruosu sighed in his heart, of course he knew the details of Shang Shuhuan, a Pian Pianjia son became what he is now, with his family ruined and his family destroyed, I really don't know how he survived.

"Since you're here, let's take a good rest first! It's the first time for Mr. Shang to come to Luoyang, why not go around, see the different scenery of Luoyang, and try the local snacks of Luoyang!" An Ruosu said .

The two sat by a brazier, An Ruosu poked the fire in the brazier a few times with the tongs to make it burn hotter, but compared to the cold weather, it was still extremely weak. After walking for a long time with a load weighing more than one hundred catties, he didn't feel cold. After resting for a while, Shang Shuhuan felt that the room was actually not much warmer than the outside.He shrank his shoulders involuntarily.

Noticing Shang Shuhuan's actions, An Ruosu smiled and said: "The prices in the capital are soaring now, and the income of an ass like me is really pitiful. The house is a little colder, so Mr. Shang will just let it go. I heard that in Dingzhou Burning charcoal is the main thing, and there are earth dragons in the ground, even in this weather, the house is as warm as spring?" His tone was full of envy.

Shang Shuhuan nodded, "You're right. There are many large-scale coal production places in Dingzhou. As long as the exhaust gas is treated, it is indeed economical and practical." He stood up, walked outside, He dragged in the charcoal he had picked up, and threw two of them into the brazier.

"Mr. Shang, you still want to take this charcoal out as a cover, and burn it here, what should you do?" An Ruosu laughed.

Shang Shuhuan smiled, "Don't call me Mr. Shang from now on, Shang Shuhuan died in the fire in Qingyang, now I am Qiu Wen, this charcoal burns as soon as it is burned, I carry a load of charcoal every day Wouldn’t it be bad if you went out but didn’t sell it, so people with a heart would notice it?”

An Ruosu glanced at Shang Shuhuan, it seemed that the former noble son had matured after experiencing this catastrophe, "That's true, since this is the case, I took advantage of it, the charcoal is now outside The price is not cheap, with such a quality, I'm afraid it will cost a tael of silver."

"The brothers outside the city prepared it for me." Shang Shuhuan said with a smile: "Lao An, can you think of a way for me, how can I meet my father, no, can I see Shang Shoufu?"

An Ruosu smiled and said: "Brother Qiu, your father is now the chief assistant of the imperial court, and he goes in and out, shouting and hugging, and because he was murdered in Dingzhou before, the security is extremely strict. It's so easy for a while. Those who are close, you can stay with me with peace of mind first, and slowly figure out a way! As time goes by, you can always find opportunities."

Shang Shuhuan pursed his lips and remained silent.An Ruosu also understood his thoughts, but he didn't know how to persuade him. The two were silent for a while, An Ruosu got up and found a pot of wine, two wine glasses, put the tin pot on the fire, and said with a smile: "Tian Han, But drink a little wine to dispel the cold, wine is not good, brother Qiu forgive me."

In the side hall of the Tai Chi Hall in Luoyang Imperial City, Tianqi sat on a large dragon bed in common clothes, and Emperor Zhaoqing in a dragon robe sat beside him, and below them, all the core figures of Dachu gathered here, Shang Haibo, Yuan Fang, Xiang Ping, Qiu Zhi, and Qu Yongjie are all there.

"The Battle of Heishuiyang was beyond my expectation!" Tian Qi sighed. Over the past few years, the white hair on his head has increased rapidly, and his face is no longer as rosy as before, showing a strange look. Pale, "Pang Jun, who is known as the number one naval general of Great Chu, suffered such a big defeat. The southern coast has almost become the back garden of the Dingzhou Navy. He can come and go whenever he wants. King Ning has no There is no way to fight back."

Shang Haibo bowed, "Your Majesty, although the two naval divisions have huge warships, Dingzhou has owned such giant ships for a long time, and has formed a complete set of tactical coordination. Although Pang Jun is a veteran, We are still figuring out these things, and it is not unusual to have such a defeat, but the defeat of King Ning has a great impact on us, and we have to adjust our strategy."

"What advice does the chief assistant have?"

"King Ning is desperate now. He wants to take Weizhou as a barrier. Even if the south falls, he can still retreat to the three states of Liao, Shenshun and Shun. The river is still easy to handle, and after entering the inland river, Pang Jun will be able to give full play to his attainments in water warfare and block the Dingzhou navy at sea. At this time, we must help him who should help him. If King Ning is completely defeated, but for us, it's a death sentence!"

Qu Yongjie said: "What does the Chief Assistant want us to send out?"

"Yes, Zhou Tong in Xingzhou has not regained his vitality, but he can win over Shanfeng Group. In Minzhou, Zhang Aimin's troops have recovered very quickly in the past two years, and they are facing a new team from Dingzhou. Army, therefore, going out of Qingyang, attacking Zunhua, and attacking Quanzhou will pose a great threat to Li Qing's inner circle."

"What kind of person is Chen Zeyue? Does the chief assistant know anything about him?" Qu Yongjie asked. Among the generals in Dingzhou, Guo Shanfeng, Lu Dalin, Tian Feng and other generals are well known, but for Chen Zeyue, everyone is Little is known about it, but being able to lead an army alone shows that he must have something extraordinary.

"Chen Zeyue, the former chief instructor of Dingzhou Jimingze Military Academy, was later transferred to the field army and led his troops to fight with Li Qing in the Liaoshen campaign. Baimadu persisted for a year, and this man also lost his legs in this battle."

"General without legs?" Everyone in the hall exclaimed.

"Everyone, don't underestimate this person. A large number of grassroots officers in Dingzhou came from this person. He has a good understanding of Dingzhou's various tactics and strategies. He is a general trained by Li Qing, and he can be so valued by Li Qing. There are not many people in Dingzhou who have been specially trained, but now he has all recruits under his command, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Zhang Aimin is also a veteran, and his ability is not inferior to him. Combat experience is more abundant than that." Shang Haibo said.

Tian Qi nodded slowly, "What the chief assistant said is true. Now Zhang Aimin has the most advantage in several battlefields. The decree is passed on, Zhang Aimin is required to launch an offensive quickly and try to break the confrontation. Can you fight in one place or several places?" Make a breakthrough."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Over Qingzhou, Yuan Fang, you have to seize the opportunity. If Mata can fall to us, then with Quan Zhoutong's army, we can form an advantage against Guo Shanfeng. However, this man is treacherous but deceitful, so it is not easy to deal with. ah!"

"Chen is infiltrating his subordinates and the Qiang Presbyterian Association, and has achieved initial results. However, during this period, we found that Dingzhou is also doing this. On the field, many people died on both sides.”

"The opponent seems to have realized the factor of Mata, you have to hurry up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"As soon as the army moves, it's money and food. Shoufu, you have to worry about this." Tian Qi turned to Shang Haibo.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, after the new policy has been implemented in several states in the Central Plains, it has achieved remarkable results. After the beginning of the new year, it will be implemented in all states. I believe that money and food will never hold back the generals, but some states have rebounded greatly. After all, the New Deal has caused damage to the original order, and before the new order is formed, if there is any trouble, please forgive your majesty."

"It's all for the sake of the great Chu community. What's the crime?" Tian Qi slapped the dragon couch, "The country's affairs are difficult, and it's time to help each other. If there are people who don't know the general situation, can I kill them with my knife? No matter it is Whoever is a wealthy nobleman or a relative of the emperor, but those who stand in the way, will not be forgiven lightly."

Glancing at the people below, "Is there anything else you love?"

Qiu Zhi suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Youyan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and her attitude is ambiguous. This time when Li Qing went to aid Weizhou, he mobilized Lu Dalin's troops. During this process, Lu Dalin Yang Yidao's troops were able to switch defenses in a calm manner. I doubt that Youyan and Dingzhou have reached any agreement. Otherwise, how could such a large-scale transfer be completed without anyone noticing? Youyan's move must let us Be vigilant, if Xiao Haoran completely falls to Dingzhou, then our idea of ​​using Youyan as a barrier will be completely bankrupt, and Youyan will become a sharp blade on our back. I suggest, take advantage of Li Qing without him Gu Ji, launch an offensive immediately, take Youyan down, at least get the Xiegu Fortress in your hands, so that you can feel at ease."

What Qiu Zhi said made Yuan Fang's face heat up, but this time it was a serious dereliction of duty by the Secretary of the Party.He muffled his head and kept silent.

"Old General Qiu is right. Although it is not suitable to launch a large-scale war against Youyan right now, it is better to take down Xiegu and hold this dangerous place in our own hands than to pin our hopes on others. many."

Qiu Zhi was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to march!"

Tian Qi smiled slightly, "Old General Qiu is old, how can I bear to let you go to the battlefield again? You should help the Ministry of War to make overall plans in the court, Xiang Ping!"

"Chen is here!"

"You handle this matter!"

"I obey my orders!"

Qiu Zhi sat down lonely, and after a while, he said to Xiang Ping: "Master Xiang, this time's attack requires a quick, fierce, sudden attack, so that the opponent cannot have a moment to breathe."

Xiang Ping smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you, General Qiu, for your teaching, but things on the battlefield are ever-changing, and I'm here in my own area."

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's leave now, dear friends, I leave state affairs to you."

Shang Haibo, who was shouting all the way back and forth, returned to his mansion brother. Now his mansion brother can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in Luoyang except the imperial city. Shang Haibo has something on his mind He walked heavily towards the gate of the mansion.
