"Minister Su Dingfang to meet Your Majesty." Su Dingfang is resolute, but he is in his thirties, and now he is the duke of the country, and he is one of Li Xin's most trusted generals.

"Dingfang, look here." Li Xin beckoned Su Dingfang, took the candle, came to a map, and said: "My army starts from Chang'an, and you can enter the land of Hebei by crossing the Yellow River, Hebei is vast, there are many families, and there is no problem for the army to advance here, but the grain and grass are not good, do you know what I mean?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to protect the grain and grass?" There was a hint of disappointment in Su Dingfang's words, because the generals like to fight on the battlefield and escort grain and grass, Su Dingfang is really unwilling to do it! It's just that Li Xin made a holy decree, even if he didn't want to do it, he had to do it.

"This time the grain and grass are from the grassland, Taiyuan I have hidden 100,000 stones of grain and grass, you go from Taiyuan to the grassland, go to Huating, the army is temporarily stationed there, within a radius of 100 miles, there can be no wind and grass, wait until my holy decree, you will attack the Goguryeo camp as a surprise soldier." Li Xin pointed to Liaodong and said: "I and Goguryeo must be fighting under Lu Longsai, you can lead 50,000 troops, plus 100,000 cavalry in the grassland, attack Hedong, and take Hedong for me, this time our goal is to destroy Goguryeo." Not a single Goguryeo soldier can be let go and let them return to Pyongyang. ”

"Obey." Su Dingfang said loudly. I didn't expect Li Xin to make him a surprise soldier, and I didn't expect that I would be able to lead 150,000 cavalry to attack Liaodong City, with the arrival of Li Xin's army, Goguryeo must have gathered the army near Lulongsai to prevent Li Xin from attacking Liaodong City, and I would never have thought that there would be a cavalry in the rear to attack Liaodong City.

"Although you transport grain and grass, the grain and grass cannot be supplied from Huating, but from Zhuo County, and the granary of Huating must be guarded by me. That's my life-saving food, and I can't afford to lose anything. Li Xin admonished again.

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and nodded, although there were countless doubts in his heart, he also knew what he could ask and what he could not ask, just like this kind of thing in front of him, His Majesty the Emperor obviously had other ideas, so it was not something he could ask. You just need to carry out the order yourself.

Li Xin won't say much either. This kind of thing can't be known to more people, so he chose Su Dingfang, a steady person, instead of someone like Cheng Yanjin who will make mistakes.

Wei Yuancheng's family, the news of Su Dingfang's entry into the palace was not hidden from others, Li Xin couldn't wait to summon Su Dingfang after the banquet Dou Yi, if it is said that there is no secret here, it is impossible, but what is it talking about. Wei Yuancheng didn't know, he touched his head, recently he sensed that something was wrong, with the retreat of the Kanto family. Far from going away, this feeling has worsened.

"Brother, why haven't you rested so late?" It was Wei Yuanzhao who came, and he was still holding a wine jug in his hand. A hint of wine slowly generated, his face was slightly red, and there was a faint smell of wine on his body.

"Tonight. His Majesty hosted a banquet for Dou Yi in Qingyun Tower. Wei Yuancheng sat on the chair, then leaned down again, and said: "If that's all, forget it, the key is that you just got the news that Your Majesty summoned Su Dingfang into the palace." But all this, he has not discussed with Wude Palace, and he actually did not discuss such a major matter as the conquest of Goguryeo, and he actually did not discuss it with Wude Palace, this, there must be something wrong here. ”

"What do you mean, brother?" Wei Yuanzhao's face turned straight and said, "Brother is saying that His Majesty the Emperor no longer believes in the Wude Palace?" What's more, Dou Yi's matter made His Majesty dissatisfied, so he put aside the Wude Hall and did it alone? Probably not! ”

?“ Perhaps Your Majesty is not guarding against the Wude Palace, but against us, the great families. Wei Yuancheng said in a low voice.

"Haven't we the Guanzhong family already surrendered to Your Majesty? Why do you still have to deal with us? Wei Yuanzhao said dissatisfiedly: "Do you want to force us to death?" ”

"It's not aimed at us, it's only the Kanto family that wants to be targeted, this time the Kanto family is really excessive, the position of the Wude Hall scholar is actually allowed to be exchanged by them, how can His Majesty the Emperor agree, more importantly, the Kanto family can't wait, whether it's the previous division of the family, or the division of land, rent reduction and interest reduction! has already damaged the interests of the Kanto family, if it is a martial arts hall scholar, it will be forgotten, the key, His Majesty's heart is too ruthless, which makes them have no chance. Wei Yuancheng said: "Their thoughts, I also understand, as long as Your Majesty is here, they will definitely not be able to get the position of a scholar of the Martial Arts Palace, and if they lose their central power, even if they are a big family, they will disappear in only a hundred and ten years." So they have to do this kind of thing. In fact, our Guanzhong family is still the same, His Majesty is a strong emperor, and he has a very tight grip on power. No one can take power from His Majesty. ”

"What do you mean, brother?" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Yuancheng with some surprise.

"This is the case with all the families in the world, but our Guanzhong family is slightly better. My Wei family has a foundation in the court, but after all, it is also a branch of the family, do you understand? Wei Yuancheng was silent for a while before he whispered: "My Wei family is now the leader of the Guanzhong family, but the current Wei family is just an ordinary powerful family, and I don't know how much worse it was back then." ”

"Brother, do you want it?" Wei Yuanzhao's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but stare at Wei Yuancheng and said, "This is a big deal!" If you don't pay attention to it, it will push our Wei family to the realm of destruction, and if this is discovered, it will be a great sin to destroy the nine clans. ”

"Yes, it's from the Nine Clans, so we can't participate in this matter." Wei Yuancheng said with a smile: "But we can only pretend not to know about this matter." If it is done, we will naturally have a piece of the pie, but if it doesn't work, we will have nothing to lose. ”

"This matter?" Wei Yuanzhao was still a little worried.

"The family of the world has been suffering for a long time! It's just that they didn't dare to move, they didn't want to do anything, and they didn't make a move until a hundred years later, and now it seems that Your Majesty can't wait, and those families can't wait. That's why there's this thing. It's just that I don't know where the Kanto family is going to start, and if I think about it, they won't inform us. Wei Yuancheng felt a slight regret and said, "It's just a Kanto family that doesn't know if it can be done!" It's a pity that we still can't trust each other. (To be continued.) )
