royal robes

Chapter 1153
Bianliang Palace
Today, Chai Rong's face was not very good in the early morning, and he coughed twice from time to time.The ministers were also anxious when they heard that, Chai Rong is a good emperor, he has captured half of the Southern Han Dynasty, and now the world is under his control, and the Central Plains can be unified with a little effort.

If Chai Rong fell ill at this time, it would be a bad thing for the world.It was hard for the Central Plains to form the current situation, and other forces must not be allowed to take advantage of it, and must be taken in one fell swoop.

"My dear friends, I'm not in good health today, so I'll play it early if I have something to do."

"I have something to announce."

"Play."

Fan Zhi said: "The Khitans took advantage of our army's attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty, and joined forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to annex it. Fortunately, Wei Wang Fu Yanqing resisted desperately, and the Khitan army was stopped in Cangzhou. Now General Zhang Yongde and Zhang have sent an urgent report that the Khitan army is not on the offensive. Please Your Majesty sent troops to reinforce Cangzhou."

"Well, this is a major event. It is certain that I will send troops for reinforcements, but we must carefully discuss the details." Chai Rong said: "Retire first, and Zhao Kuangyin, Fan Zhi, Wang Bo, Wei Renpu, Pan Mei, Zheng Ziming, and Li Chongjin will all follow me. Come to the study."

Everyone was stupefied, they had no idea what Chai Rong was up to.But Chai Rong had made an order, and no one dared to object.

Chai Rong took a step first, and the rest of them went to the imperial study together.All the way they were discussing what Chai Rong was going to do.

After coming to the Imperial Study Room, Chai Rong's performance surprised everyone. Everyone was thinking about the same question, this grandson won't live long...

Chai Rong was chewing a whole ginseng in his hand, and he seemed to be enjoying himself.There is a bowl of bird's nest porridge next to it, and there is a lot of Cordyceps sinensis in the porridge.There is still a pot of tea, but there is no tea leaves. In the tea bowl, apart from the tea, there are pieces of deer antler. The color of the tea is still red. I don’t know how much deer blood is put in it.

Chai Rong dipped ginseng in the sauce, chewed a few mouthfuls, drank some porridge, and took a sip of tea.Every time I took a bite, I felt extremely enjoying the expression, but other people looked at it... a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention eating these things on the table, just looking at them is a great nourishment.Chai Rong actually eats like this, can his body bear it?If Chai Rong wasn't a martial arts practitioner, he would vomit blood after just one meal.

"Your Majesty, your body is too weak, can you bear it like this?"

"I can't stand it... I really can't stand it, but I can't do it without eating. My health is getting worse and worse, and I need to make up for it." Chai Rong said depressedly: "You are all on your own, and your health has been really serious recently. Not good, so... let's go to war. The widow decided to go on a personal expedition, beat back the Khitan gang of grandsons, and recover Youyun Sixteen Prefectures by the way, eliminating future troubles forever."

Everyone knew that if Youyun Sixteen States returned to the Central Plains, there would be no pressure on Cangzhou, and the Great Wall alone would be able to keep the Khitan people out.

How many years has the Great Wall been built?All dynasties and dynasties are constantly building, the purpose is to resist these foreign countries.But when Shi Tangjing sold the Sixteen States of Youyun, he also sold the Great Wall to the Khitan, which was the Khitan's biggest gain.As long as they can cross the Great Wall, they can save Khitan a lot of trouble.

If Chai Rong could really recover the Sixteen States of Youyun, and the Great Wall would return to the control of the Great Zhou, it would be basically impossible for the Khitans to invade the Central Plains.Since they were guarded by such a good general as Fu Yanqing, they couldn't even cross Cangzhou, let alone the Great Wall.

Regarding this matter, everyone nodded in agreement.In fact, everyone can see how the situation in the Central Plains is. If you can recover the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, you can unify the Central Plains more effectively and safely.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the recovery of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures is definitely what the people want.As long as this thing is done, it will definitely not be called a great feat, and it will directly change the relationship between the Central Plains and Khitan.In the future, it will no longer be the Khitan that suppresses the border, but the Central Plains will crusade to the north.

"Your Majesty, can you do it with this body?" Zhao Kuangyin said with concern: "I have no objection to the crusade against Khitan, but your majesty does not need to go to the army to personally conquer. As long as there is a decree, the minister will send troops to the north and go straight to Cangzhou."

"No, no, I must go in person, I will not be able to stay in the palace sooner or later..." Chai Rong said embarrassingly, "Don't ask me anything else, anyway, I have made up my mind, and I must personally conquer Khitan. Yes Now, how many soldiers did Zhang Yongde bring to Cangzhou?"

"It should be thirty thousand."

"The widow also brought 21, not more than Zhang Yongde. After arriving in Cangzhou, he didn't care about [-], [-], and rushed out to fight to the death with the Khitan army. If we win, we will chase, and if we lose, we will retreat." Chai Rong seemed a little out of his mind. Sober, but others dare not say anything, because he is the emperor.Maybe it was also because of the food that I ate, and the fire had already burned my head.

"The rest of you discuss it among yourself, and report anything you need. Let's set off to fight Khitan as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was just Chai Rong talking to himself.Everyone could see that Chai Rong's real purpose was to leave the palace, and it didn't matter to him whether to fight Khitan or not.Is the palace really that scary?

No one knew what was going on, but Zhao Kuangyin knew it very well.Because of his relationship with the two sisters Fu Xuanyi and Fu Xuanci, he knows Chai Rong's private life like the back of his hand.Fu Xuanyi wants it desperately, and Fu Xuanci wants it desperately. The goal of the two sisters is to squeeze Chai Rong dry.

In Chai Rong's words, men are cattle and women are fields. There are only exhausted cattle and no plowed fields.The two sisters took turns serving Chai Rong, but Chai Rongxiao couldn't bear to serve him.

After he couldn't bear it, he had to resort to medicines, starting with the most basic Cordyceps sinensis, and gave Chai Rong little by little tonics, and continued to cultivate after eating the tonics.

In fact, the two sisters also take some tonics themselves, but their needs are not large.Two women fight a man, and with the help of medicine, Chai Rong's body will soon fail.

After Chai Rong returned to Bianliang from Shouzhou, his body has not recovered.In fact, there was no major problem with Chai Rong's body, as long as he rested for a while.But the complete emptiness of being tortured by the two sisters Fu Xuanyi and Fu Xuanci was supported entirely by internal strength.

As emperor Chai Rong could refuse them, but Chai Rong didn't accompany them for a long time in order to crusade against Shouzhou, and he felt a little guilty.What's more, Fu Xuanyi is still the queen, and the queen's need to be the emperor must be satisfied, so Chai Rong has never refused.

Now it really can't, and Chai Rong can't think of a reason to reject the two hungry wolves.So they had to find a reason to leave the palace, after they left, they would never be able to catch up with Khitan.Chai Rong just wanted to go to war and recuperate for a few months. As for whether he could regain Youyun Sixteen States, that was secondary.

Even if Zhao Kuangyin knew about it, he wouldn't be able to tell it, but in fact, most people have guessed the reason, but they don't understand it comprehensively.

After Chai Rong was full, he put his hands on his head and began to close his eyes to rest his mind, and the others began to discuss.

"The Khitan army is not easy to deal with. The Khitan cavalry is fast and has high combat effectiveness. In addition to being poorly organized, the Khitan cavalry can be said to be the strongest army on land." Li Zhongjin said: "Although we also have Zongxin The iron cavalry of the Ao gang trained by the master, but their movement speed is far behind that of the Qidan iron cavalry. As long as the Qidan iron cavalry does not come hard, our cavalry will not be able to catch up with them at all."

"It's true, but we can't give up just because it's difficult to handle. We have to find a way after the imperial decree has been issued." Zhao Kuangyin said: "The biggest advantage of Khitan cavalry is mobility. Their speed is very fast, but as long as they If their horses can't run, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of ordinary infantry. To make their horses unable to run... Actually, I have a way."

"Say it quickly." Fan Zhi trusted Zhao Kuangyin very much. Although Zhao Kuangyin was sometimes stupid, he was still very useful at critical times.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "No matter how powerful a war horse is, it is still a beast. There is still a difference between a beast and a human. To put it simply, a beast is stupid. We are all people who have fought on the battlefield all our lives. In fact, we know the habits of horses very well. The sense of smell is far more acute than ours, and horses are actually very afraid of large beasts like lions and tigers, no matter how well trained the horse is, it will still be frightened in front of the big beasts, and when the time comes, it will run wildly, and the knight cannot control it at all."

"It makes some sense, but...it's useless." Wang Bo said: "Zhao Kuangyin, can you catch thousands of tigers and rush to the Khitan army at the same time? How can there be so many tigers in the world for you to catch? And how could tigers listen to you?" ? Just let them charge forward?"

"I can't control tigers. If it's a giant wolf... I can take advantage of it. Not to mention, there are still hundreds of giant wolves."

Fan Zhi said: "Zhao Kuangyin, you mean to use Zongxin's large number of mounts, white wolves?"

"I'm half right. Master Zong Xin's white wolf mount is indeed negotiable. It can help me, but it won't rush towards the Khitan army at the same time. At most, it will wander around the cavalry regiment, because Xiaobai can't because of me And if it is Zong Xin who hurts his own tribe, Xiaobai can ignore the sacrifice, but I don't have the face. Don't look at Xiaobai as a wolf, that guy is much smarter than humans."

"If you just restrict the cavalry, it may not have such a good effect." Li Zhongjin said: "There must be a reason to scare the horses. If the wolves are just wandering around, the war horses will only be worried and afraid, not as scared as you imagined. look."

"That's why I said that Fan Xiang is only half right, and the other half depends on our Majesty."

"Oh~~ and my business?" Chai Rong suddenly sat up and said excitedly: "Hurry up and talk, in fact, the widow has been pretending to be asleep just now, just wanting to hear how you handle this matter. Sure enough, Zhao Kuangyin did not disappoint the widow. If you can figure out a way to break the Khitan iron cavalry, let us go north and rush out of Cangzhou in one fell swoop, and the widow will give you the title of king."

"Your Majesty, we have to speak with conscience. When you killed the Nantang Fleet last time, you had already made a vassal King Pingnan, so it would be inappropriate to make another one."

"Hey~~ Then seal another one, how about letting you take the salaries of the two princes?"

"also……"
