Chapter 604: Skilled and calculating

"Yes, peace! Temporary peace!" Chen Xiyan's wrinkled face was covered with ancient Jingbubo.

"Next, it's time to compete for internal strength, Your Majesty!" Chen Xiyan moved a little, and moved his numb legs slightly, "Clear up the administration of officials, govern the people, encourage farmers and serenity, and diligently cultivate military affairs, lay a solid foundation for the next clearance of the battle within the universe!"

"We are recovering, Li Qing is also recovering, we are raising our energy, and he is also the King of Ning in the south, and the wealth in the south is extremely worrying!" Tianqi sighed.

"Your Majesty, our advantage lies in the fact that we actually control the territory, whether it is wealth, population, or resources, far exceeds the other party. This is our greatest capital to defeat them. The area controlled by Li Qing and the grasslands had nothing except the abundant war horses. Others such as Quanzhou, Jinzhou, Yizhou, and Weizhou were all destroyed in this war, especially Quanzhou, which was almost plundered by the governors of Quanzhou and had nothing. In the next few years, it will inevitably become a big burden for Li Qing. These few states alone will be enough to suppress Li Qing's breathlessness. All he can rely on are Dingzhou, Fuzhou, Bingzhou and other places, but there is only one Bingzhou that is a grain-producing area in these places!"

"Li Qing's advantage is that his military armor is beneficial to the world, but Li Qing's army has a big disadvantage, that is, he relies too much on the benefits of military armor, and these equipment must be supported by countless money. So during the next peace period, although we do not move troops, we have to curb Li Qing on another battlefield, that is, the economy!"

Chen Xiyan said: "Control all the materials that could increase Li Qing's strength into Dingzhou, especially grain, pig iron, etc. He wants to, yes, exchange war horses for war. Our Central Plains is mainly infantry, and it is better to have horses, and it is not impossible to have horses, but can they have no food?"

"When it comes to the benefits of starting a military armor, we are not without gains in this battle. After this battle, we have also cultivated a large number of elite soldiers and generals for the survival of the fittest. With these as the framework, with the huge population base in the area we ruled, what is the difficulty of forming an army far exceeding the other side?"

Tianqi was so enchanting that he heard it, and his bleak expression gradually became excited. Seeing Chen Xiyan licking his dry lips and saying to the outsider of the palace: "Come here!"

Eunuch Huang responded, "What are your instructions?"

"Send a bowl of ginseng soup to Shoufu Chen!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Chen Xiyan looked at Tianqi's eyes that were gradually regaining their anger, and smiled and confessed: "Thank you, old minister!"

"Teacher, please continue!"

"How Li Qing defeated the barbarians? One of the first is the correct military strategy. Li Qing does have extraordinary qualifications and we cannot compare with this. Although we know the method of training military in Dingzhou, we always cannot reach his level. In addition to the Dingzhou people who are brave and fierce, and the fierce habits they have developed from fighting with barbarians for many years, it is also related to Li Qing's policy. Those who have constant property have perseverance. This is well said!" Chen Xiyan shook his head, and he knew in his heart that Luoyang could never do this.

"The second is economic policy. During those years, Li Qing's border was strictly prohibited from flowing into the grassland, cracking down on smuggling, forcing the barbarians to take risks, station troops under the city, attacking the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings, and after the serious losses, he was attacked by Li Qing. Bayankala was also a heroic city, and was trapped to death by Li Qing."

"Slay the opponent with silver! This is Li Qing's greatest experience in the battle against the barbarians. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Why can't we use them? We have silver to kill him alive!" Chen Xiyan took a sip of ginseng soup and was also excited.

"Where is the King of Ning in the South?" Tianqi asked.

Chen Xiyan said disdainfully: "Our enemy is Li Qing, King Ning, who has become a disease of mustard ringworm. Your Majesty, King Ning has obtained the three states of Zeng and the 100,000 troops of the Lu family. It seems that its strength has increased greatly, but it is not stable inside. Lu once was a tiger and wolf man, so how could he live under the Ning King honestly? Secondly, in order to win over the Qiang tribe, King Ning used marriage as a means to exchange for the Qiang tribe to send troops. Afterwards, he even gave Qingzhou to the Qiang King, which seemed to build a protective wall for Ningzhou. However, he did not know that the Qiang King was greedy. If we promised to be profitable, we might not be able to win over. The only thing to worry about is their navy, which we cannot control. But I think Li Qing would sit by and watch the other side's navy become stronger and stronger. Therefore, in the future, the two navy leaders will definitely conflict continuously!"

Tianqi sat upright and said, "The teacher just mentioned many of our advantages, but did not say what our disadvantages are?"

Chen Xiyan nodded in admiration, knowing that Apocalypse had finally recovered from his anger, and the shrewdness of the past returned to him.

"One of our disadvantages lies in the administration of officials!" Chen Xiyan said: "One reason why my bad disciple broke with me is that the administration of Dingzhou is clear and clear, and the government has truly put people first. Therefore, next, our most important thing is to clarify administration of officials."

"The ice is three feet long, not a day's cold!" Tianqi sighed: "In history, administration has been the most troublesome problem. Local forces control the regime, are extremely greedy and robbed. This time, although we have eliminated the largest wealthy families, making the rest of them frightened and temporarily surrender, once there is a turbulence, wildfires will not be burned out, and the spring breeze will be blown away again. Teacher, I am a bit born in the current situation, and I cannot do anything to them. What can I do?"

"Your Majesty, what is the biggest reason why these local forces are so rampant?"

"One is wealth, another is war!" Tianqi said.

"Your Majesty hit the nail on the head, the most important thing is that these local forces have soldiers, so we will start from this aspect!" Chen Xiyan said heavily.

"Li Qing has sent a peace message, and King Ning can only follow his steps. Since the outside world has been temporarily stable, we can start calmly!" Chen Xiyan said fiercely, "Without the soldiers, what other waves can these people make!"

"If you force yourself, it will cause trouble and make these people take risks!" Tianqi said worriedly.

Chen Xiyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty now has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals. These soldiers who have fought countless ruthless wars are not something that those local armed forces can expect. What's more, we don't need to fight at all, we just need to consume!"

"Consumption?" Apocalypse said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, before you start a fight, you must first be shocked. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is fifteen years old and it's time to get married. Take this opportunity to hold a martial arts show in Luoyang, thinking that Your Majesty's wedding will be celebrated. At the same time, these people are invited to watch the ceremony, so that they can see what the spirit and supper looks like!"

"Is this a scare?" Tianqi smiled.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the next thing is to mobilize their troops to the battlefield!" Chen Xiyan sneered.

Tianqi suddenly realized, "Are you talking about the land of Youyan?"

"That's right!" Chen Xiyan nodded, "Everyone can spare the conspiracy of the Xiao family, but they can't spare it. What's more, they are building a city in the shady valley, which seriously threatens the safety of Luoyang. The land of Youyan has become a confidant in Luoyang. Youyan is sleeping next to the bed to allow others to sleep soundly. We constantly mobilize these local forces to form an army to attack Youyan and attack the land of Youyan!"

"Although the Xiao family's army is not many, it is not comparable to these idiots. What we welcome them must be defeated one after another. Every time they lose, they will eliminate a group of inferior soldiers for His Majesty, and the rest will take the opportunity to take it into their pockets. And in the battles after another, the strength of Xiao family will be consumed a little bit."

"Although this plan is wonderful, I'm afraid Li Qing won't sit still. If he interferes, what should I do?" Tianqi asked.

"I'm afraid that Li Qing is thinking about annexing Youyan's land! But Xiao Yuanshan will definitely not surrender easily, so Li Qing will definitely sit idly by and let Youyan be attacked again and again!" Chen Xiyan smiled, "Of course, we must also grasp this degree. We cannot really be afraid that Xiao Yuanshan will be at the end of his life. If you really throw Li Qing, we must make him feel that things are still worthwhile and can stand on his own in this world. When we are ready, we will use a thunder strike to him, first destroy him, and then deal with Li Qing, so that there will be no worries!"

"Teacher is wise!" Tianqi smiled, "After this, these local forces have wealth but no soldiers. All of them should be in my hands. I can give them some empty positions to raise them. Only if the central government can reach the local area smoothly, in less than a few years, the strength of the court will definitely increase greatly, far exceeding Li Qing and other generations!"

"Your Majesty said very much, but it is actually very difficult to do this. It not only takes a while, but also needs to grasp the time and the standard!" Chen Xiyan said.

"I can wait for time!" Tianqi sneered. "Teacher, if you say so, we really have to send someone to Qingcheng's funeral."

"Of course I have to go!" Chen Xiyan said: "It's just a candidate, Your Majesty should consider it carefully."

Tianqi pondered for a moment, "Let King Han go. He was the one who sent Qingcheng to marry back then, so let him take Qingcheng for the last time!" Tianqi's voice lowered, and his eyes turned slightly red.

"Your Majesty, since Li Qing sent a notice to Luoyang, why don't Your Majesty issue an imperial edict to him in the name of the court? If Li Qing received the imperial edict, he could also let another person with ulterior motives see it. Li Qing still has to surrender to the court, and the strength of the court is still far beyond him. It can also make some fences more stable!" Chen Xiyan suggested.

"What the teacher said is, Qingcheng makes me regret it for life. Teacher, I have appointed Qingcheng as the princess of the town and buried with the highest etiquette. How about it?"

"It's up to your Majesty to decide!"

"Li Qing!" Tianqi sneered: "I am also planning to add him to the King of Zhenxi!"

Chen Xiyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
