The chief minister of Dayue, who has always been powerful and always seeking, felt humiliated again. The last time it was given to him by His Majesty the Emperor. Although he was angry, he could not resist. Today it was given to him by the young Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao's face was always smiling, but Cao Yi could see that there was a deep contempt hidden in his smiling eyes. It was a kind of indifference. He didn't care at all. Even if the Emperor of Dayue was in front of him at this moment, I was afraid that he would speak like this. Officials were allowed to dismiss him.

Rights, taxation rights, coining rights, what Yun Zhao wants is almost the lifeblood of a country. After these things are given, it is probably not that simple to take them back. In other words, if Yun Zhao can gain a foothold in the north, then the north will become his kingdom. In the future, even if the court quells the rebellion, the north will become a place where needles cannot be stabbed and water cannot be poured into it. He will become Yun Zhao's private land. If the court wants to take them back, it is afraid that it will pay the price of blood and fire.

But Cao Yi had no choice. This was the current situation. Even if he was to cut off his flesh and treat the wound, the blood in front of him must be kept. This is the price to be paid to recall Cheng Qun and stabilize the north. Perhaps, after the Great Vietnamese civil war subsided, it would be another war that lasted for several years or even longer, and Cao Yi's heart ached.

Cao Yi is not a clean official, the Cao family is rich enough to rival the country, and Cao Yi is not a good person. He has done countless evil things, but he is a capable official. He is not loyal to Da Yue, but he is deeply aware that everything he has placed on a stable Da Yue. The more stable the Da Yue, the Cao family can control the national affairs for a long time and become those who determine the fate of others. Even if there will be a period of silence in this, with their background, they will always make a comeback in the shortest time. Cao Yi knows all this, so he hopes that Da Yue is as stable as Mount Tai and the country will last longer than others. So he spares no effort to run for this country, and when he makes himself rich, he can also continue this country for a longer time, even if sometimes he will risk his life, just like this time.

But this time, he saw danger.

Yun Zhao is an ambitious man who is unwilling to be a woman. From his eyes, Cao Yi can see his ardent desires.

Once the internal rebellion is quelled, the first thing is to turn around to deal with the young Northern King. At this time, Cao Yi already believed that Yun Zhao would inevitably become the ruler of the north. The longer the time, the more harmful this person will be to the Greatest. Therefore, even if the Greatest is in trouble at that time, he must first defeat this dangerous person. Cao Yi made up his mind.

Watching Yun Zhao rode his horse and whip away under the escort of a thousand cavalry guards, Cao Yi clenched his fists tightly.

"General Cheng, this is the first time you have seen Yun Zhao?" Cao Yi asked.

"Not bad. But God has been in contact for a long time!" Cheng Qun smiled and said, "This is a legend. It is amazing."

"If we only look at combat capabilities and military combat, how do General Cheng thinks this person is better than you?" Cao Yi asked a little unceremoniously. "I heard that this person likes to be the first in combat, and with his personal super combat power, he opens a gap for the troops."

Cheng Qun laughed, "Yun Zhao's personal force is indeed quite powerful, especially his first-hand archery technique. Not to mention us, even Mengren is stunned. Most of the people praised by the world are his bravery. Unfortunately, if everyone thinks this way, it would be a big mistake."

"Oh, General Cheng might as well talk to me. I don't understand a lot in military affairs." Cao Yi asked.

"The Chief Auxiliary doesn't have to be too humble. In fact, the Chief Auxiliary may know more about Yun Zhao than I. Yun Zhao grew from a hunter to a giant today. After countless wars, there are few losers. Therefore, everyone in the world says that he is extremely brave. But it is better than him who captures the Mongolian princess alone, or leads hundreds of cavalry to raid the Mongolian army's logistics camp. What I value more is the other two battles. It is these two wars that have caused Yun Zhao to undergo a qualitative transformation, from a simple general to a military clan today."

"The first time I traveled through Bayankala Mountain from Anqing. I took advantage of the brief description of leaving the western part of Yizhou and entered Gaoyang and other places, laying the foundation for his later plot against Yizhou!" Cao Yi blurted out.

"That is, at that time, his situation in Anqing had stabilized. The Anqing border army expanded from thousands to tens of thousands, defeating the Mengren repeatedly. But under this great situation, this person saw the crisis that was not long after, and planned to Yizhou. This was indeed a stroke of magic, and the time he chose was just right. This was his first step in his transformation." Cheng Qun sighed: "Subduing the Gaoshan tribe and making the Gaoshan tribe the basis for him to control the western part of Yizhou is no longer what a general does. The overall situation he showed and his super political operation ability were stunned by the fact that his actions in Yizhou solved Pan Haoran and briefly described the problems that had not been solved for many years. In the means of promoting the integration of the two races, he was even more wise. Now the two ethnic groups that originally hated each other in Yizhou have blended together."

"This child is indeed not simple. Sometimes it is difficult for me to think clearly. Such a person who has not read many books has a much better political maturity and strategy than those we have vigorously trained." Cao Yi sighed.

"In the legend, there are people who are born to know in this world. Maybe this person is like this!" Cheng Qun smiled and said, "The second thing that made me admire him was the battle he was trying to seize Yizhou. During this battle, Yun Zhao's intelligence was fully utilized. Many people couldn't understand it at that time. It was not until the dust settled and after repeated research, everyone found that this was a series of traps, one by one, one by one, no flaws, until everyone was encircled. What's even more terrible is that this person's decisive decision in this was his sworn brother. He gave him a lot of help when Yun Zhao was still in trouble at that time, but in this battle, Yun Zhao showed no mercy. I heard that the final outcome was briefly described. Speaking of which, I felt a little sad. A famous general was forced by Yun Zhao to go alone to surrender. The pain was really difficult for the parties involved to understand."

"It's a pity that it's still hard to escape!" Cao Yi sighed.

"It's a pity that my life has given him a glimmer of hope." Cheng Qun said disdainfully: "You deserve to die if you are such a stupid person."

"I heard that your battle was also caused by Yun Zhao?" Cao Yi suddenly said, "General Cheng, do you know that your move has caused me a lot? When the emperor wanted to send Xue Chengyi, I recommended you with all my strength, but you didn't expect that you would give me a big embarrassment in the end."

Cheng Qun looked at Cao Yi with a smile, "I do owe you a favor to the Prime Minister for this matter. I will repay the Prime Minister for the future if I have the chance. However, the situation at that time was the only way to get rid of the trap. If you followed the emperor's wishes, now I am afraid you will not see my 200,000 army. Some of them died in the battle with Su Can, and the other part would inevitably be driven to heaven and no way to enter the earth by the Mongolian cavalry, and the Dayue would die faster."

Cao Yi was very satisfied with Cheng Qun's answer. Things had reached this point, and it would be worthwhile to get Cheng Qun's promise. He recommended him.

"Either I am or Congliang, I have realized this problem. At this time, Yun Zhao got in at the right time. With his presence, I can have a bridge between Congliang to achieve a temporary trust. This is the basis of our cooperation. The complete annihilation of the main force of the Mongolians will at least temporarily alleviate the crisis of national destruction."

"But the Fourth Master is powerful!" Cao Yi sighed, "The external crisis has gone beyond the past, but the internal danger has become even worse."

"It's even more terrifying than the rebellion of the Fourth Master. I have never regretted my decision. Now we still have a chance to save the situation. If not, we will have no chance." Cheng Qun said lightly.

"General Cheng, I don't want to hide it. Yun Zhao, do you think you will become our enemy in the future?" Cao Yi asked directly.

"Not possible, but certain!" Cheng Qun said firmly. "He will become the King of the North."

"Why are you so sure? Maybe he will lose in the battle between the Mongols. The only thing he can do in the end is to buy us time." Cao Yi said: "Maybe both sides will suffer the best news for us."

Cheng Qun shook his head, "Last night, I got the news that Barutu escaped from Luzhou, and the main force was almost unscathed. Barutu broke through Yun Zhao's siege and was on his way back to Yanjing."

Cao Yi was shocked, "How is this possible?"

"There is nothing impossible. They were let go by Yun Zhao!" Cheng Qun said.

Cao Yi's expression changed, "What do he want to do? Do you collude with the Mongolian people?"

"No, although I don't know what Yun Zhao is going to do for the time being, I think this must be related to Yun Zhao's other big strategic plan, and this plan is definitely to deal with the Mengren."

"Barutu's main force returns, and the Mongols' power is huge, which will only benefit the Mongols. How come it has become a trick against the Mongols?"

"So I said I can't figure it out for the time being, but I only know that Yun Zhao is not stupid and will not be unclear about this. But he still lets Balutu go back. This only means that it is better to put it on than not. Mengren and Yun Zhao are in the north, and they are lying beside the bed, so there must be only one winner between them, so Yun Zhao must have some plans for this move."

"If Yun Zhao wins, how do we deal with it?"

"Whether Yun Zhao or Meng Ren won the final victory in the north, we have a sharp weapon to deal with them." Cheng Qun looked at Cao Yi with a smile.

Cao Yi was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Cangjiang! Navy!"

"Yes, Cangjiang, Navy, Master Chief, I ask you to find any way to expand the navy, increase ships, sailors, and posters all over the coast of Jingzhou. Beware that as long as there is a powerful navy, it will be enough to make these northerners who are not acquainted with water warfare."

"This is inevitable!" Cao Yi said fiercely.

Cheng Qun turned to look at Yanchen in the distance, smiling on his face and in his heart, a powerful navy will fall into his hands. (To be continued...)
