After taking the imperial edict wrapped in Huang Ling, Yun Zhao put it on the table and said with a smile: "On the northern land, General Cheng Qun is the commander of our Northern Expedition Army. I am young and inexplicable, so I dare not take on this burden. Yun is willing to charge under General Cheng."

Seeing that Yun Zhao was holding on to this point, Cheng Qun smiled. As the commander of the country, Yun Zhao didn't know the current situation? He was afraid that he had his own judgment on the basic direction of the entire Dayue. It was a foregone conclusion that he had moved back. He held on to himself, just wanted to bargain with Cao Yi. However, he had his own plans, and Yun Zhao was optimistic about the situation.

Cao Yi was both embarrassed and annoyed. He looked at Cheng Qun and saw that he was not in charge of his own affairs. He knew that this matter was only dependent on himself. He just didn't know how big the lion Yun Zhao would be?

"General Yun is afraid that I don't know anything. In front of the two generals, I don't need to hide it. Dayue has reached the critical moment of life and death. Defeating the Meng people has only solved the external troubles, and the internal chaos that makes people worry is getting worse and worse. General Yun, let's just say it straightforwardly. General Cheng Qun must return. Now Su Can conqueres the Liang rebels have captured Jiangzhou and are heading straight to Tongzhou. Although the imperial court mobilized Houwei, Tunwei, and Xuwei to enter the rushing army.

To resist Tongzhou, but these three guards were not front-line troops, and their combat effectiveness was very different from that of the other side. Su came from the rebel group from north to south, causing the power of Li Xiao’s rebels in the south to rise sharply. Dayue was already in full swing. The Bailian rebels in the West recently joined forces to capture the three prefectures of Shaanxi and Guizhou. If these rebels cannot be extinguished in time, Dayue will be difficult to protect. If the skin is gone, where will Mao be attached? If Dayue is gone, how can General Yun fight against Meng?"

He paused, "Mengren's centipede insect wants to completely destroy him. It's not a matter of one night. I thought back then, Dayue went through a lot of hardships and drove them into the desert, but in just a few decades, they made a comeback, General Yun. There is no prosperous and stable Dayue, even if we will drive the Mengren back to the desert now, it won't take many years. They will once again attack our border. Now Dayue still has General Cheng Qun's troops. If Dayue continues to have civil strife, will we still have such a powerful army next time?"

"We must first settle the internal situation when fighting foreign countries. Without a stable and united internal situation, there is no way to completely defeat the Mongolian people!"

"So. General Cheng Qun must return, and in the north, you can only support the overall situation by General Yun. I believe that with General Yun's talent, not only driving the Meng people out of the border of Dayue, but only maintaining the status quo, is my hero of Dayue."

"General Cheng Qun, what do you think?" Cao Yi turned to look at Cheng Qun and dragged him down.

Cheng Qun, yes, no comment.

Yun Zhao, however, showed his face and slapped the wine glass on the table, saying, "I understand the words of the Prime Minister. This means that in order to ensure the safety of the Dayue mid-belly, he can give up his interests in the north. I just don't know what the Prime Minister said is going to go out. What will the people in the north who destroyed their families in order to resist the Mongolian people? What will the rich and powerful people who donate their entire family property in order to make the Dayue flag fly high? What will the millions of heroes who died on the battlefield of the Anti-Mongolia think? Isn't this let all their efforts be paid to the end?"

Cao Yi raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean? The court never cared about them anymore? We just withdrew General Cheng Qun's guards. In the north, there are tens of thousands of troops under your command! Now that the people in the mountains are in a dilemma, General Yun Zhao is guarding him, why are you afraid of the people in the rebellion?"

Yun Zhao sneered: "It's not that I, Yun Zhao, I started with dozens of horsemen. From Anqing to Yizhou, I have been walking on the edge of life and death for several years. From a little bit of pitiful manpower to tens of thousands of horses today, I am indeed proud, but compared to the Mongolian people, I feel inferior. The Chief Auxiliary said that the Mongolian people are weak and the mountains are far behind, and this is a big mistake. The Mongolian people still control one-third of the sixteen northern states. A large number of Mongolian people are still coming from the desert. It won't take long. The Mongolian people once again gathered an army of 100,000 and 200,000.

It’s hard! The whole people of Meng are soldiers, and I think the Chief Auxiliary knows. When General Cheng leaves, how can I support the Anqing border army alone? I am afraid that the day of defeat is not far away. Lord Zheng, please be honest, even if General Cheng returns, he will not be able to destroy the rebels in a short time. Maybe the Meng people will catch a chance to breathe. When you finally stabilize the Dayue, you may be full of holes in the country. At this time, millions of Iron Cavalry of Meng people cross the river again. What should we do? Therefore, I think we should concentrate our strength first and destroy the Meng people before talking about it."

Seeing that Yun Zhao was bitten to death, Cao Yi was really angry, but at this moment, how could he offend such a soldier? He took a deep breath, "General Yun Zhao, General Cheng Qun's return to the south is a foregone conclusion, and it is also recognized by General Cheng Qun. As for the situation in the north, if General Yun Zhao needs support, we must do our best. As long as General Yun Zhao can stabilize the situation in the north, nothing can be negotiated!"

The handicap had already opened, and Yun Zhao was immediately happy. All he left was how he knocked the bamboo rickets loudly.

He looked at Cheng Qun with a frown: "General Cheng, are you really leaving? In fact, you can not leave!"

"I have to leave, I can only let General Yun Zhao down!" Cheng Qun said with a smile.

Yun Zhao turned his head to look at Cao Yi, "The sixteen northern states are currently under control of about one-third of Dayue, the Mongolians control about one-third, and the other third is a war zone. Not to mention the places controlled by the other party, where we control, I am a general Yun and a general, and sometimes I can't count the words?"

"The court promised you to open a house, so you would naturally give your voice here to you, so you would naturally be able to keep your word."

"So, can I appoint and remove officials by myself?" Yun Zhao asked, looking at Cao Yi.

Cao Yi shivered and wanted to appoint and remove officials by himself. This is not an ordinary matter. If the sixteen states in the north are just small officials, it would be fine, but to give Yun Zhao the power to appoint officials at the first-level state level, this is already beyond his authority. But looking at Yun Zhao's seemingly innocent face, he clenched his fist under the table and slowly let go, "In order to ensure your control in the north, to make the upper and lower levels unite and resist the Mongolian people together, the appointment and removal of this official will be decided by you."

"Thank you, Master Zheng." Yun Zhao smiled immediately, "But I have no money. I am so poor that I am jingling. Master Zheng, you must know that if I want to resist the Mongolian people, I need a huge army. If I want to maintain such an army, the expenses are not ordinary. Master Zheng, you are the chief minister and the head of Dayue. You should know the difficulties."

"Money?" Cao Yi said in embarrassment: "Even if I want to give you money, now there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and there are rebels in the middle, so I can't transport it to you?"

Yun Zhao leaned forward and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask the court to allow me to make a decision on my own and collect taxes and other matters. I wonder if it's possible?"

Cao Yi raised his eyebrows and wanted to refuse. With his eyes flashed, he looked at Yun Zhao's smile-like expression. When he spoke, he said, "This is also a solution. However, the right to formulate taxes and other rights have always been unique to the court. The situation in the north is special, so it is not impossible to open a hole, but there is a time limit. General Yun thought it should be how long?"

Yun Zhao leaned back and said, "How can I decide this time when the anti-Mongolian fights? Or can the Prime Minister set a timetable for setting up a timetable?"

Cao Yi thought for a while and said that it would be impossible not to give it, but he had to add shackles to Yun Zhao. "Since that's the case, we will plan to stop the imperial army from crossing the river again? After the imperial court quelled civil strife, it would inevitably lead its troops to come north to attack the Mongol Yuan. At this time, General Yun's privilege will be returned to the court. How about all the components in it will be returned to the court?"

"Okay! No problem!" Yun Zhao didn't care at all.

"That's great!" Cao Yixi said, "General Yun has no other problem, right?"

"Yes!" Yun Zhao shouted: "There is another very important problem, which is silver coins! This is a big problem. Master Chief, I would like to ask you to allow us to cast copper coins on our own to deal with circulation. Our north is so miserable. The people have no money in their hands, and many places even barter from goods, which is very inconvenient. The coins issued by the imperial court were too high, and they were collected by illegal vendors for profit. The Mongolian Yuan also collected a large number of these copper coins to get copper. We have copper ore in Yizhou, so the imperial court asked us to cast coins on our own to solve these problems."

"This is absolutely not possible!" Cao Yi said without thinking, and blurted out. The matter of minting money is a big deal. It is really a big problem with the survival of the country. Most people don't understand this thing and think it's no big deal. But he has been the chief minister for decades, and he doesn't know the tricks. Looking at Yun Zhao, he was shocked. Yun Zhao was born as a hunter, not very knowledgeable, and he is also a general. How could he understand the great knowledge in minting money?

"Sir, as you said before, we are isolated and cannot communicate effectively with the center. Therefore, we can only solve some things ourselves, such as the problem of minting, which is a major issue that is close to our northern economy and people's livelihood. Since the court cannot solve the problem here, will we not let us solve it ourselves?"

"Since General Yun understands what's in it, he shouldn't mention it!" Cao Yi shook his head and said.

"Sir, I promise that the silver coins we cast in the north will only circulate in the north and will never cross the river. Moreover, after the court quells the rebellion and the army crosses the river, we will exchange them all for copper coins cast by the court at a certain price. Is that good?" Yun Zhao said.

"I think it's OK!" Cheng Qun knocked on the table, "What's the point of copper coins worth a few tiny coins? Master Zhonggu, as long as General Yun blocks the Meng people in the north, what's this power?"

"Thank you, General Cheng. Since that's the case, we'll make a decision!" The two raised their glasses and met from afar.

Cao Yi smiled bitterly. Cheng Qun, a military general, did not understand what was in it, but the newly appointed general of the State Supplementary State spoke. The two generals with great power sang and collaborated, but they had no choice but to do anything. Well, these are finally some long-term things, so I should solve the urgent problem first!
