The civil and military ministers all understood Wu Nian's mood at this moment.
Even if an ordinary family has an outstanding son, I will be happy.
What's more, it's Tianjia?
This is the crown prince.
The future emperor.
Heir to the country.
and. Wu Nian not only had a prince, but also a heroic King of Qi.
It's appropriate to feel proud.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Liu Zhixing led the ministers with a smile and bent down to congratulate.
"Okay. The strategy has been determined. Eat away at Chu State step by step instead of blindly believing that it can be annihilated in one fell swoop."
"We also have tactics. Attack the Guanzhong Plain. Seize the west of Tongguan."
"But how to fight? The Chu army in Guanzhong is not a vegetarian."
After laughing, Wu Nian turned serious, adjusted his sitting posture, and said in a deep voice.
The emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty stayed in the Yangxin Hall for a full day. They had lunch there and finally formulated a plan.
After the meeting adjourned, the court prepared to send troops according to this plan.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Only Wu Nian, Wu Yu and a few eunuchs were still there.
"Son, after I leave the capital, you will be the one to supervise the country. Everything else is easy to talk about. The Slavs in the north may take the opportunity to go south."
Wu Nian raised his head and said to his son.
"Father, don't worry. The prime minister and the Great Wall are here. The Slavs can only show off their power outside the pass and cannot get in."
Wu Yu said.
"Haha." Wu Nian chuckled.
The prime minister refers to Liu Zhixing, and other cabinet ministers assist him.
Without Liu Zhixing, the operation of the imperial court would be much slower, if not faulty.
"The prime minister is a good prime minister. But don't just watch. As you grow older, you can intervene in some things. Gain more experience."
Wu Nian has very low requirements for himself and is a hands-off shopkeeper, but he has extremely high requirements for his son, said.
"Yeah." Wu Yu hummed.
The father and son talked for a while and had dinner together. Wu Yu, surrounded by eunuchs and imperial guards, returned to the East Palace.
Wu Nian also left the Yangxin Palace and headed to Kunning Palace.
............
Central Plains.
North of Bianliang City.
"Da da da!!!"
On the broad road, General Wang Ba first put on armor and rode on horseback, followed by hundreds of soldiers under his command.
Including Wang Baxian, most of the soldiers have experienced battles.
The armor is covered with traces of swords, spears, and halberds.
Although there were not many casualties, they only captured one county town and burned some food, grass and baggage. But it also greatly boosted morale.
All the soldiers held their heads high and their chests high, showing strong momentum.
Soon, Bianliang City Gate came into view.
"Hahaha. Have fun, have fun." Wang Ba first rode out on his horse and arrived in front of the city gate. He laughed loudly at Chen Mingzhi, Chen Haiming and others who greeted him, then he stood up and dismounted vigorously, and came to the front of the crowd.
"Congratulations on your triumphant return, general." Chen Mingzhi, Chen Haiming and others were also beaming with joy and bent down to congratulate.
Wang Ba first led hundreds of men who dared to die, crossed the Yellow River, and went deep alone. He defeated a city and returned to the Central Plains under the pursuit of the Han army.
Now that the news has spread, the morale of the soldiers in the Bianliang army is high.
When this matter spreads throughout Chu State, the government and the public will definitely be excited about it.
The results are small, but the impact is huge.
It belongs to using small things to make big gains and make big profits.
"General. I have prepared a banquet. Please invite the general into the city. Let's have a few drinks." Chen Mingzhi said to Wang Baxian with a red face.
"Let's drink and talk later. Let's discuss first how to deal with the Han army's counterattack."
Wang Baxian was very proud, but he did not get carried away. A pair of tiger eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said in a deep voice: "Wu Nian has strong soldiers and horses, and he has the intention to go south."
"Now I've touched the tiger's butt. He will probably start an army."
Everyone was awestruck when they heard this and nodded in unison. Immediately, they gathered around Wang Baxian and entered the general military office.
Come to the lobby and sit down.
Wang Ba first picked up the tea cup on the coffee table, drank a few sips of tea, then raised his head and said, "I was the one who made the move first. If Wu Nian goes south, he may focus on attacking Bianliang."
"But when Wu Nian uses his troops, he often takes them by surprise. He sounds in the east and attacks in the west, and sounds in the east and attacks in the east."
"Now in Hebei, the Imperial City Division has a lot of spies. Our spies' activities in Hebei are very risky, and there are very few spies. It is very difficult to find out military information."
"Only he knows which direction he will choose to attack."
"Now there are four armies in Da Chu. I have no control over Jinan, Chang'an, and Luoyang. But our Bianliang Army will enter wartime status immediately."
"Preparing for war."
Having said this, Wang Ba stood up first, held his head high, and said wantonly: "If Wu Nian mainly attacks Bianliang."
"Then we will defeat him."
"I have a lot of confidence. What about you?"
The generals and the supervisor Chen Haiming looked at each other, stood up in unison, and bowed to Wang Ba first. Chen Mingzhi said loudly: "The general has such ambitions, how can we hold him back?"
"Of course, defeat the Han army."
"Wu Nian never dared to cross the river again."
"Hahaha." Wang Ba laughed loudly at first, and became more and more wanton. Then he stamped his right foot, put his left hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, walked towards the door, and said: "Very good. Now that the business is over, let's go drink. "
"Drink this meal. The whole army is prohibited from drinking except to keep out the cold."
"yes."
Everyone responded loudly and followed suit.

Guanzhong Plain belongs to Shaanxi.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the political center of the world. But later on, it gradually stopped working.
First, the environment is gradually getting worse.
Second, the Guanzhong Plain is too small, while the southeastern part of China has been continuously developed and gradually prospered.
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, although Chang'an, Guanzhong, was the capital. But because of the difficulty in transporting grain, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty often went to Luoyang.
Luoyang is connected by water and land in all directions and is the center of the world.
But even so, the Guanzhong Plain is still an important place in the world, and Chang'an is also one of the most important metropolises in the world.
The city wall of Chang'an City is extremely high and extremely thick. It has all kinds of facilities inside and can garrison tens of thousands of troops. Once something happens in Guanzhong, Chang'an City will be the pinnacle of Dinghai.
Originally, in Shaanxi, officials were very corrupt. When there was a drought in Shaanxi that year, Wu Nian took the opportunity to take in many refugees.
After Emperor Zhang Wu came to power, he carried out a large-scale dismissal and appointment of officials in this area. Although it is not guaranteed that they are all capable ministers and officials, at least most of the officials are officials.
The government became more powerful.
People's livelihood has improved. In addition, in the past two years, Shaanxi has also been doing well. At present, the granaries in various cities in Guanzhong are filled with grain, and all kinds of military supplies are piled up like mountains.
Administrative ability and logistical foundation alone are not enough.
Xiong Wuwo arranged a general in Chang'an.
His name is Lu Jing.
There's nothing special about him.
Charge into battle, so-so.
Leading troops to fight, everything is stable.
It looks unremarkable.
