Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 233 Xu Zhen
next day
The sky is bright, and a ray of golden morning light passes through the sycamore tree with sparse branches and leaves, and falls on the beautiful couch not far away, reflecting the delicate dimples like flowers and the rosy cheeks of the young woman whose temples are scattered and the charm of spring has not faded. Be exquisite and picturesque.

Between the beautiful eyebrows and eyes, there is still a trace of pain remaining.

Suddenly, the young woman sensed the young man's catching monsters, her eyelashes trembled with a groan, she looked at the young gentleman beside her, her face dyed with embarrassment, and she said nothing, but buried her head deeply in her chest.

"Wake up?" Su Zhao looked at the blushing young woman Huaxin, and said with a light smile, "You really surprised Gu, I didn't expect you..."

For Xu Zhen, he was originally the result of a whim. From his past memorials, he outlined a Xu Hui-style talented woman in his heart, and he felt somewhat flattered.

Of course, this is the emperor, with a seductive power and seductiveness, and it is not surprising for a lucky maid to come on a whim.

Of course, he is not so ruthless. In his eyes, Xu Zhen is not only a woman who can warm the bed, but also a secretary who can handle affairs.

But this young woman gave him some surprises, she was still a virgin.

Xu Zhen said softly: "When the servant girl was in the Lin family, just after passing through the door, the young master of the Lin family contracted a serious illness..."

"Does it still hurt?" Su Zhao asked softly while reaching out to smooth the young woman's frowning eyebrows.

"Um……"

Su Zhao smiled and said, "Gu will treat you."

Said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... Slaves..."

"Call yourself a concubine from now on, don't be a long servant, a short servant." Su Zhao said in a low voice, turning over and getting up.

The two have been obsessed with each other until the end of time. Xu Zhen has been alone in her empty boudoir for 25 years, and she has already become a ripe peach, plump...

But it also gave Su Zhao a brand-new experience, with the youthfulness of a girl and the understanding of a young woman.

Zhongyuan Hall

It was already afternoon, and the sunlight lazily passed through the window lattice, and fell on the empty and watery floor of the Zhongyuan Hall, casting several figures on the vermilion beams and pillars.

After lunch with Xu Zhen in the Zhongyuan Hall, Su Zhao ordered Shen Tufan, Feng Kuang and other important officials of the Privy Council to be summoned to the Zhongyuan Hall to discuss matters.

At this moment, Shentu Fan was at the head, Chunyu Shuo and Feng Kuang stood on the left and the right, and after that came several Privy Councilors.

Su Zhao asked: "It's been ten months since Gu sent an order to expand the army and prepare for war. How many soldiers are recruited?"

Xu Zhen at the side changed into a pale yellow palace dress at the moment, her temples were rolled up high, and was held up by a jade hairpin with beads and flowers. Cai, there is a light and familiar charm flowing in the corners of the brows and eyes, just quietly listening to Su Zhao and Yi Ying Gongqing's discussion.

Chun Yushuo took out a memorandum from his sleeve, handed it over, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the imperial army is already recruiting soldiers, initially there are 6 new soldiers, and now they are training in the Yuntai camp. It will take at least three months."

Su Zhao nodded, let Xu Zhen reach out to take it, flipped through it, and asked, "Is there any shortage of military supplies?"

Originally, there were 5 to 30 Soviet troops—county soldiers plus six imperial troops, but now with the addition of [-] newly recruited soldiers, this is [-] soldiers and horses, all of whom are young and strong, aged between [-] and [-].

For a country with only eight counties and a population of more than 100 million, it can almost be said to be militaristic.

However, once the reformation policy is carried out, a large number of Su's population will be liberated from the "serfs". By then, Su's national power will definitely grow exponentially.

In Su Zhao's plan, after the imperial examination is over, a complete land reform will be carried out around Wenyi.

"This is still a small boat that can turn around. If it is a huge empire, it will be hard to get back. Even if there are thousands of ingenious schemes, it will inevitably be hindered every step of the way." Su Zhao thought.

Chunyu Shuo said: "There is a lot of supplies for the military, and there is no shortage of everything."

Su Zhao asked: "General Chunyu, has there been any change in the southern Zheng State recently? Yangping Pass has been reinforced for more than a month, how is it?"

Chunyu Shuo said in a deep voice: "General Yang Fu has moved his troops to Yangping Pass after taking the order of your majesty. Now there are [-] soldiers stationed there. If Zheng Guo sends another [-] troops, it will be easily defeated. No more."

Su Zhao nodded and said, "Let the rear support Yang Fu more and strengthen the city gate."

Then, Su Zhao asked about the military preparations of Yingyin County. Since this county was originally the territory of Zheng State, people's hearts would inevitably be dissatisfied, so [-] troops of Su State were stationed there, and Chunyu Shuo was transferred from this county. He recruited [-] young and strong men and brought them to Wenyi with [-] soldiers from Hesu.

Obviously there is a plan to train them first, and then command them to defend the country, and finally fully integrate into the Soviet army.

"General Chunyu has to worry more recently. Make sure the newly recruited soldiers form a combat force as soon as possible." Su Zhao solemnly told Chunyu Shuo a few words, then turned to look at Feng Kuang, and said, "Feng Qing, some time ago Have you ever drawn up a list of meritorious generals and schools for further selection and training?"

A few days ago, some meritorious generals and schools were rewarded. For the soldiers who died in the king's affairs, they were listed on the monument. It can be said that this action made the soldiers happy.

However, due to the expansion of the army and preparations for the war, there is an urgent need for a large number of qualified generals to sort out the entire Soviet army's combat sequence, so Su Zhao not long ago ordered the Privy Council to select the elite of the generals for the Southern Expedition, select them into the lecture hall, and focus on training them with martial arts medicine.

"The 460 seven people in the military academy have been planned to be nuclear. The files and rosters are all outside the hall. This can be presented to the emperor for review." The officials went outside to move materials.

"These generals will be trained and studied in the martial arts hall in batches. They will choose those who are good-natured, resolute and brave, and cultivate them with the powerful medicine of martial arts." Su Zhao said loudly.

"Mr. Shentu, I heard that you have something important to report to Gu Gu?" After Su Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Shentu Fan again and asked.

Speaking of which, he summoned a group of important ministers from the Privy Council because Shentu Fan sent a small official into the palace to report that something new seemed to have happened in the Kingdom of Wei.

Shentu Fan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am about to report something. There was a commotion among soldiers in the Li County of Wei State. The cause is unknown. The Military Intelligence Department is investigating."

Today, Su State's intelligence and governance organization is divided into two parts, one is the Heavenly Listening Department based on immortality and common customs, and the other is a purely military intelligence organization—the Military Intelligence Department under the Privy Council.

Compared with the former, local conditions and customs, political spying, almost all comers are welcome.

The intelligence collected by the Military Intelligence Department is more focused on the military field. At the same time, it cooperates with the Yuhou Division—a large number of Yuhou (staff officers) to study and analyze the military situation at all times, and formulate corresponding plans.

It can be regarded as a consulting organization integrating intelligence, governance and staff.

Su Zhao frowned, and murmured: "There is turmoil in Li County?"

But he remembered something, and turned his head to look at Xu Zhen who was standing with his hands down, "There is a stack of thin volumes on the second row of the bookshelf in the side hall study, go and find them."

But I remembered that the day before yesterday, the detectives of the Tianting Division collected some information from Wei Guo. At that time, it was only reported as an anecdote, which did not attract Su Zhao's attention.

But as a Jindan cultivator, his memory is so powerful that even if he glances at it once, it will leave traces in his heart.

Xu Zhen responded, and walked away with light steps.
