When Hou Sui heard this, he said "um" softly, and his voice was low: "The thief is no longer what it used to be. After breaking Luoyang, the thieves took advantage of the drought to expand their strength, and the power of Henan Province was used for them. In addition, he set up officials in Luoyang to keep silver, and the elite soldiers were strong, and there was already a cutting-edge atmosphere. And our officers and troops have been defeated repeatedly, and the superintendent has lost his life, and there are not one or two people in his hands. Right now...... Zhu Xianzhen was newly defeated, and the Ming official army was already weak. So opened...... It's become a quagmire and pit for my Ming Dynasty......"

Hearing Hou Sui say this, Hou Fangyu's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Hou Sui and said, "Father, the child thinks that this matter can be seen from another angle. Maybe...... This is a great opportunity! ”

"Huh?" Hou Sui frowned slightly, looked at the eager Hou Fangyu, and wanted to reprimand Meng Lang, but found that the current Hou Fangyu was no longer a teenager. Today's Hou Fangyu is a young scholar who has been promoted and is trying to show his mind.

Thinking of this, Hou Sui nodded and motioned for Hou Fangyu to continue.

Seeing this, Hou Fangyu's expression suddenly became excited, and he said continuously: "Father! Nowadays, the situation in Henan, the world is looking at the daunting road. But the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a turning point! With the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no one in the military towns on all sides will dare to ignore it. ...... Commanding the military town, who dares not to obey? ”

After Hou Fangyu finished speaking, he immediately shook his five fingers fiercely. It's as if the vulgar official who ravaged himself was kneaded in his hands and humiliated at will!

Regarding Hou Fangyu's statement, Hou Sui nodded slightly after a little thought, which can be regarded as agreeing.

At this point, Hou Fangyu was not wrong. The prince and prince of the Ming Dynasty were besieged in Kaifeng. At this moment, rescuing Kaifeng naturally became more important. The whole court will look sideways. The military situation in Kaifeng is even more urgent. And this obviously increased Hou Fangyu's authority.

It's just how much risk there is. There are many hidden benefits.

If Kaifeng can be kept and the prince is saved, then wouldn't Hou Sui be on the rise. Unlimited benefits?

Thinking of this, the expression on Hou Sui's face gradually relaxed, but there were still a few doubts in his heart that made Hou Sui subconsciously a little unsure: "That's the truth." But as you know, I have no other soldiers in my hands except the 2,000 soldiers I brought from the Beijing camp. ”

Hou Sui is still more well-informed than Sun Chuanting. When Sun Chuanting was released from prison, he saw that the emperor was shouting and asking for warmth, and he was immediately moved to say a big word, as if the thieves in the Central Plains could be easily pacified.

But the current Ming court is lacking in money, food, logistics, prestige, or other strong soldiers. This. The imperial court was able to pay 200,000 taels of troops to Hou Sui, and even Hou Sui himself felt that it was not easy. Moreover, after the last main battle force of the imperial court was destroyed in the Battle of Songjin in Liaodong, the other army leaders were not very obedient.

If Hou Sui thought that he could calm the chaos by relying on the 2,000 Beijing camp with sparse combat power in his hands, it was obviously a dream.

Hearing Hou Sui ask, Hou Fangyu immediately laughed in a low voice: "Father, this is exactly what the child wants to say." Please look at the military information sent by the child today. The officers and soldiers of Shandong Town arrived at the Liuhekou ferry in Kaifeng and were fighting with the thieves. That's a strong army. can take the initiative to face the battle in the field and defeat the thieves under the command of the general Li Yan and the Red Lady. Such soldiers. It is my father's arm that helps me to win Henan! ”

Hou Sui bowed slightly, but after a little thought, he shook his head and said: "Shandong Town has strong soldiers, but it is not easy for Shandong Town to follow me desperately. The name of rescuing the prince is not enough. In fact, the fact that Shandong Town can enter Henan at least shows that it is under the king's order. The court relied on. But you look at the Baoding soldiers and tigers, and the Huguang soldiers Zuo Liangyu and their deputy military leaders. Relying on the authority of the imperial court alone, relying only on the name. They might come over to save face. But to fight to the death. I have to have something on hand that makes them jealous. This generation of martial artists is afraid of power but not virtue. It's not enough to rely on military salaries and generous kindness......"

was refuted by Hou Sui. Hou Fangyu was not depressed, but gave birth to a subtle expression and said, "So." used the military exploits of Shandong Town to force them to rise up. Wouldn't it be better to use Shandong Town to subdue them and have to rescue? Besides, my father didn't know that the strength of this Shandong soldier actually had another secret. ”

"Oh?" Hou Sui gave Hou Fangyu an extra look. He had heard about Hou Fangyu's deflated problem in Linqing. Now it seems that the so-called Hou Fangyu Hou Fangyu in Shandong Town really knows about it.

Thinking about it like this, Hou Sui became a little interested: "Chaozong said it." ”

When Hou Fangyu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a low voice: "The main reason why this Shandong soldier can fight is because there is a rich man. It is now that Shandong is supervising the army in Shandong Town, and Qin Xia is preparing for the army. He pinched the financial resources of Shandong Town and rewarded the brave men heavily, so that Shandong Town could glow with combat effectiveness. Father's ...... Not long after Qin Xia took office in Linqing, he was thinking about entering Kaifeng City to relieve the siege. Such a vulgar official wants to take away this heavenly merit, this is beyond his own strength......"

"Getting to the point." Hou Sui glanced at Hou Fangyu lightly.

Hou Fangyu's face turned pale, and he continued in a low voice: "It's just that one flash can't tolerate two tigers. Qin Xia and Liu Zeqing have always been at odds. It's just that Liu Zeqing had to borrow Qin Xia's financial resources to tolerate it. That Qin Xia certainly has some schemes, but after all, he is not more scheming than his father. When the time comes, a piece of paper will be transferred to the shogunate of the lord to work for the time being. This Kaifeng is thousands of miles away from Linqing, who can save him? ”

Hou Sui didn't speak, but Hou Fangyu, who was familiar with Hou Sui, knew that this was Hou Sui's heart. He's thinking about deduction.

With this in mind, Hou Fangyu continued: "Besides, with Zhou Xiang above us, wouldn't it be easy to swallow the financial resources of the tax division? I heard that the tax division can collect 300,000 taels of silver in a year this year, which is obviously a tyrannical expropriation, and it is not in the hands of my generation of righteous people to not hurt the people! ”

Hearing Hou Fangyu say this, Hou Sui's expression became even more playful.

"Anyway...... With the financial resources, the strong soldiers in Shandong Town can be used by my father. With the strong army of Shandong Town...... There is also the righteousness of rescuing His Royal Highness the Prince, and the father's order is no longer a false letter. At this time, let Yang Wenyue and Hu Dawei of Runing come to help, and let Zuo Liangyu of Xiangyang fight. In this battle in Henan, there is no possibility of calming down in one fell swoop! ”

After Hou Fangyu finished speaking, Hou stood up and walked around the hall.

He was thinking about what Hou Fangyu had said.

Originally, Hou Sui just listened to Hou Fangyu say this with the mood of relieving boredom and lifting his son. But now, after really listening to Hou Fangyu's explanation, he was really moved.

It's really possible! (To be continued......)
