"go"
The giant talisman shone brightly and flew towards Liu Cuihua. She threw out the poisonous insects again. Boom, the giant talisman burned in the air, burning all the poisonous insects to death. Four giant wolves bit the hands and feet of the black-clothed assassin and tore them off forcefully. Blood sprayed everywhere. There was no whole corpse, and the scene was extremely bloody. Hanwen and Liu Cuihua fought for hundreds of rounds, using the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Gun to pierce her body. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai passed by quickly, a cold light flashed, and he clawed her to pieces. With both arms, the seven Taoist priests shot red pills at the same time, and a fire suddenly ignited. Liu Cuihua roared in the fire,
"Xu Hanwen, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go. One day you will die in the hands of our saint, hahaha."
Hanwen knew that his time was short and he had to complete the unification of the country within his limited life, so he invited the Queen Mother, Yuwen Jinghong, Shangguan Wuming, and his father to the secret room of the palace, where there was a huge military map. , a huge wooden table, which marks the mountains and rivers of the entire world,
"I have invited you here today because there is a major matter that needs to be discussed with you. This matter is top secret and no one is allowed to mention it outside of this secret room."
"What's wrong with Wen'er? It's so mysterious."
"Destroy the country and unify the world. Destroy the Annan Kingdom and unify the world."
"Destroy the country, yes"
"If you want to unify the world, you must have strong national power. Only with strong national power can you support a strong army."
"Tell me your plan"
"In the war to destroy the country, be careful, develop the national strength, prepare the army for war, and train the army."
"Yuwen Haoyuan, you are responsible for training the Shu army, secretly training mountain warfare, and sending spies to understand the terrain of Wuyi and Longyan."
"Father, you are training the navy in Xuzhou. I will ask Hai Dafu to pretend to be a defeated pirate and escape to the southeastern sea to understand the terrain of the southeastern sea."
"The patron king protects Youzhou, hoards troops and expands grain"
"I will dig salt mines near Chang'an, manufacture fine salt, and buy them from the Western Regions to expand the national treasury. Time is tight and must be completed before winter."
"Xu family boy, don't worry, I won't delay your business."
"Okay, it's enough to have a backing king."
"Then today's meeting ends here and everyone disperses."
"Xu Hanwen, please stay."
Shangguan Wuming shook his head and left. Shangguan Wenyan stopped Hanwen. There were only two people left in the hall.
"I don't know why the Queen Mother calls Wei Chen any reason."
"There are no outsiders here. Just call me Wen Yan."
"Weichen dare not"
"Come and sit here, why are you so far away from me? How can I still eat you?"
"If the Queen Mother has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."
"Stop, Xu Hanwen, you hate me so much"
"Wen Yan will leave De'er to you from now on. You must assist him well and become a wise king."
"Xu Hanwen, what do you mean by this?"
He knew very well that his time was short, so there was no need to disturb the peace of the beautiful lady and cause turmoil to the royal family.
At this time, Hanwen had left, leaving Shangguan Wenyan alone in the secret room crying.
In three months, the salt mines made millions from the Western Regions to fill the treasury of the two countries. He brought back 100,000 dan of grain and countless cattle and sheep from the Youzhou Plain. Hanwen secretly inspected the Lishan camp, and he secretly arranged three hundred civilian troops to guard the camp. The troops are trained in the army, and the morale of the soldiers is high.
"Your Highness, in the past three months, according to your instructions, the soldiers have trained hard day and night. Every soldier is eager to fight and serve the country."
"Dacheng and Liang Chen also wrote letters. The soldiers are eager to fight. It will soon be your time to go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the motherland."
"Your Highness, you are eager to go to war. Do you want to complete the unification of the world before Your Highness dies? If you work like this, it will cause serious harm to your body."
"Xiao Wu, I know, but I still have a lot of things to do, and there is really not enough time. The most urgent thing now is to unify the country and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is up to you to protect the future of the motherland after I die."
Xiao Wu knelt down on one knee
"Xiao Wu is determined to protect the Jiangshan Empire to the death"
Ziyun came in and saw Xiaowu kneeling on the ground.
"Xiao Wu, have you made a mistake again? I really should find you a wife to take good care of your temper."
"Princess, the general put it right"
"Yes, when you grow up, it's time to marry a wife, start a family, and carry on the family line. Ziyun, see if there is a suitable person and find a wife for these outstanding young men such as Xiao Wu, Dayou, Liang Chen, and Ge Erdan. "
"Okay, I know a lot of rich ladies."
"I don't need it princess, I have someone in mind."
"Oh, who is it, Sister Zijing?"
"Okay, you can dig into my corner."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Sister Zijin and I are in love."
"I will ask my mother-in-law to arrange your marriage when I get back."
"Thank you, Your Highness"
"Xiao Wu, you are wrong in thanking me. My husband is already a prince, and I will get used to it."
"Call it this way if you like, it sounds friendly."
"yes"
"Who else has a partner? Ge Erdan also has one."
"Who did he find?"
Ge Erdan is now promising. He has become a hero in the village. The matchmaker introduced him to the beauty of their village.
"Okay, I'll let them get married with you."
"Thank you, Your Highness"
For three months, Hanwen had been working hard on state affairs every day, and his health was getting worse. In mid-September, during this morning meeting,
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, now that the domestic troubles in the country have been resolved, the national treasury is full, and there is sufficient food and grass, it is time to regain the lost territory and unify the world."
"King Pingnan means to send troops to Annan Kingdom"
"Yes, now is the best time"
"In the past, when the enemy was strong and we were weak, we had to compromise, but now we have won three out of three battles. One is declining, the other is increasing. Our national strength has been greatly strengthened, and we will definitely be able to regain Nan'an in one fell swoop."
"His Majesty's ministers also proposed to recover the lost land. This autumn, we will have a bumper harvest in Youzhou. We will have enough food to support a million-strong army for three months."
"Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Qiao Youxian has something to report."
This year’s tax revenue was 3.71 million taels, and the fine salt sold to other countries made a huge profit of 1 million taels in three months. Now the national treasury is full.
"The Ai family issued an order on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor. The Jiangshan Kingdom decided to launch a national war and restore the country in the first battle. All the troops and horses in the country were deployed by King Pingnan. Anyone who disobeyed his military orders will be punished with death for treason."
"Follow the decree"
"Order, Xu Shengli, the king of Zhenbei, led the Taishan Five Tiger Generals, led 50,000 Taizhou troops to Xuzhou, and commanded the two states of Taixu and 180,000 soldiers, both land and water armies, to attack on the eastern front. Capture Kuaiji, Xinjun, and Poyang "Three Counties"
"Command, King Zhennan, to lead Shu and 150,000 troops from Hanzhong to attack Lingling, Cangwu, and Guiyang on the western front."
"Order Qin Ying to lead the 50,000 Taishan Army as the vanguard and set off immediately to send troops to Jingzhou, join the 100,000 Jingzhou army, and conquer Jiangling and Yuzhang."
"The Three Armies Join Forces to Build An"
"Follow your orders"
"Order Yu Wen Wan'er to command 50,000 Guards troops and 80,000 Luoyang troops to defend the capital."
"Order the patron king to command Youzhou's 150,000-strong army to prevent the invasion of wolves and transport grain and grass southward."
"Order Qiao Youxian, the Minister of Household Affairs, to be the grain and grass officer responsible for the frontline grain and grass, and Yang Dacheng to become the escort officer."
"Hey Xu family boy, you are too biased. This is a national war, a life and death battle between two countries. It is a rare encounter in a hundred years. Why can your father lead troops to fight, but I am sitting in Youzhou drinking tea?"
"King of patrons, it's not that I'm partial, it's that Youzhou can't live without you. The wolf tribe is eyeing you. With you in Youzhou, you are better than a hundred thousand troops. Youzhou is as stable as Mount Tai. Only then can we have a chance to conquer Annan."
"You kid, you know how to fool me."
"Don't think that guarding Youzhou is a small thing. This is a great achievement. If something happens to Youzhou again in our hands, how will we face the late emperor and our ancestors under the Nine Springs?"
"You kid, don't poke my shorts. Can't you do it if I guard you?"
