Nanjing.
royal palace. Inside Fengtian Hall. Emperor Zhang Wu was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the throne, with eunuchs holding whisks in their arms standing on the left and right.
There were many civil and military ministers standing below.
Except for Xiong Wuwo and a few elite officials, the rest were newly promoted by Emperor Zhang Wu.
These civil and military ministers are relatively smart and capable. Standing in the hall, you have your own atmosphere.
"My lords, you all know about the movements of the Han army in Pingling. How should we deal with it?" Emperor Zhang Wu asked in a deep voice, holding the cushion with his right hand, his face serious.
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xiong Wuwo.
Lin, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was from Zhejiang Province, stood up, bowed his hands to Emperor Zhang Wu, and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should send out new troops immediately and allocate more military supplies to Bianliang in case of emergency."
Emperor Zhang Wu nodded slightly. Although there were still doubts about the direction of the Han army's main attack, Lin Ze was able to be so decisive and capable.
Doing something is better than not doing anything.
"What do you think, Xiong Qing?" Emperor Zhang Wu signaled Lin Ze to return to the queue, turned to look at Xiong Wuwo and said.
Xiong Wuwo clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty. My opinion is the same as that of the chief minister."
In fact, he also doubted whether Wu Nian's offensive route was from Bianliang. But like Emperor Zhang Wu, the court was right to react quickly.
It proves that the imperial court is strong and actively resists. If Wu Nian's main attack direction is elsewhere in the future, he can quickly change it.
Emperor Zhang Wu felt relieved when he saw Xiong Wuwo nodding. He nodded and said: "Okay. Do as the chief assistant said."
After finishing speaking, Emperor Zhang Wu stood up, showing the aura of a king of a country, and said in a deep voice: "My lords, I don't know much about war. But I will never back down. If the situation goes bad, I will fight in person. Go to Bianliang in person and take charge."
"I will never give up on any frontline general, soldier, or civilian."
His words were like thunder, exploding in the minds of the civil and military men. Everyone, including Xiong Wuwo, was extremely excited. He opened his clothes and knelt on the ground. He bowed sincerely and said, "Your Majesty is a saint."
Under the wise and decisive decision of Emperor Zhang Wu and the strong mobilization of the Chu court, the Chu State recruited new soldiers and a large amount of military supplies and dispatched them to Bianliang.
Both the government and the public in Chu State were very confident.
Defend Bianliang.
Guard the Yellow River.
They also have wise kings and famous generals.
.........
capital. The Royal Palace, in the Royal Garden.
Surrounded by everyone, Wu Nian walked aimlessly on the cobblestone road.
Under the leadership of a eunuch, Hojo Ushimasa hurriedly walked to Wu Nian and handed Wu Nian a piece of paper.
"Your Majesty. This is a message from the cabinet." Hojo Ushimasa bowed.
Wu Nian stopped, reached out and took the folded book and looked at it. With a slight smile on his face, he said, "As long as the bait is placed well, you can catch fish."
"Although deceiving your opponent and whether you can succeed are two different things."
"But at least I won the first move."
At this point, he put away his smile and said: "Instruct Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun, and Feng Chong to prepare secretly and follow the others to Shanxi to attack Guanzhong."
"Send someone to tell the cabinet. The prince supervises the country and the cabinet assists the government. Everything remains as usual."
"Yes." Hojo Ushimasa bowed in response, turned around and left in a hurry.
Wu Nian put his hands on his hips, turned his waist first, and then stretched his muscles. After completing the warm-up exercise, your body will feel warm.
"Chang'an Commander-in-Chief Lu Jing."
"The widow is here."
Wu Nian raised his head and looked in the direction of Chang'an, full of determination.
That night. The emperor is lucky to have Kunning Palace.
Early the next morning, it was not yet completely bright.
The emperor secretly left the capital, met with the generals, and headed west to Shanxi.
In this region of Hebei, only Shanxi is connected to Shaanxi.
.......
"Da da da."
On the wide cement road, the sound of horse hooves is particularly clear. A large group of people surrounded Wu Nian's Luan Yu and headed south.
Wu Nian opened the car window and looked outside.
After a year, I came to Shanxi again.
In terms of mountains and rivers, not much has changed.
The afforestation process is still in its infancy, and it is at least fifty years away from completion. This is the road, it's all cement road.
National and provincial roads are all paved with cement. At present, Shanxi Governor Shi Xian is gradually laying small roads and mountain roads.
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
Secondly, when planting trees, we also need to build roads.
Although the dirt roads here in Shanxi are not full of potholes due to lack of rain, they are dusty and harmful to the lungs.
The mountains and rivers remain unchanged.
But people change.
Few of the people Wu Nian saw along the way were skinny and ragged.
Although mountains and rivers are important, people are more important.
suddenly. Wu Nian saw a group of people in front of him, kneeling by the road. Something in his heart made him stop.
Although the Ouchi guards didn't know why, they still carried out the order firmly. The eunuch brought a small bench.
Wu Nian stepped off the small bench and came to the front of the group of people.
"Everyone, get up." Wu Nian walked up to an old man, helped the old man up with both hands, and then said.
This group of people were all kneeling and didn't dare to raise their heads. They didn't know who asked them to get up, so they stood up instinctively. When they looked up at Wu Nian, they were all shocked.
"Ah. Isn't this a dragon robe?" The old man rolled his eyes upwards and fainted.
Many black lines appeared on Wu Nian's forehead, and he quickly shouted: "The imperial doctor."
After rescuing the old man, Wu Nian started communicating with them. The people of Shanxi have a bold and unshakable personality, and they are very fond of the emperor. After the initial fright, they all had the courage to look up at Wu Nian.
Wu Nian smiled, had someone pour a bowl of royal wine, handed it to the old man at the head, and asked, "What's your surname, sir? Where are you from? Where are you going?"
"The emperor has killed this old man, I dare not call him a master." The old man shook his head vigorously, then took the wine bowl, finished it with a gurgling gulp, and blurted out.
"Good wine."
After saying this, he regretted it. This was in front of the emperor. He calmed down, respectfully handed the wine bowl to the eunuch next to him, and then replied: "Report to the Emperor. The old man's surname is Zhang, and his name is mountain dog. He is a mountain man in Taihang Mountain. He led the young men from the same village to Taiyuan to sell mountain treasures."
"Taihang Mountains. It's a long way to come to Taiyuan. There must be good treasures from the mountains." Wu Nian said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is aware of it. There are Codonopsis pilosula, fungus, walnuts, etc." Old man Zhang showed a smile, and then said: "It's not far. It's not far. Now the cement road is solid and the road is peaceful. There are no bandits or bandits."
"We are all willing to bring mountain treasures to the city to sell them, so that merchants will not make a profit on the price difference."
Wu Nian also laughed. Now that the road is smooth and Shanxi is at peace, the business of doing business will be hard to do.
Wu Nian talked a lot with the old man and asked about the situation of Shanxi officials.
Old man Zhang nodded repeatedly and said "good official" repeatedly.
He didn't force himself at all, he said these two words from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, all of them are strong and have red faces.
Prove that the food is good and the sleep is good.
Sitting on the dragon chair, listening to reports from officials and reading excerpts. It feels much different than seeing it with my own eyes.
Wu Nian was very happy and asked people to buy old man Zhang's delicacies and gave him some rice. Then he sat back in Luanyu and continued on his way.
"One day, everyone in the world will live a good life."
"I can retire."
Wu Nian was sitting in his chariot, looking forward to his future retirement with a smile on his face.
