After Zhang Dun talked about the logistics matters, he looked at Xu Jiang.

General Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Donald, the troops north of Bianjing are basically on the border, Hebei, Hedong, Qinfeng Road, etc., with a total force of 300,000. Except for the Leopard Cavalry and Firearms led by Chu You, there are no other troops."

Zhang Dun naturally knew, and said, "I don't want you to continue to mobilize troops. I want you to take charge of all the northern ranks and be prepared enough. Even if the Liao people bluff, they must respond fully. Qinfeng Road is the foundation of the rear, Huanqing Road, and Xihe Road are key areas, strategies, general managers, and pioneers. The Ministry of War must come up with the charter. The power and duties of the Ministry of War cannot be given up, and the power and duties of the Privy Council cannot be usurped."

Zhang Dun's last two sentences point out the theme.

Xu Jiang understood and said, "The lower official will go to the confidential room later and have a good talk with the Privy Councilor."

Zhang Dun had a bright eyes and a low and powerful voice, saying, "The money and food matters have been solved now, and the rest is to arrange troops. I don't interfere in these matters, but there is only one requirement: win! I don't care about the process, you will win small victory and defeat small defeats, I don't care. The final result must be a big victory!"

Xu General and Liang Tao looked shaking. They saw his determination from Zhang Dun's tone and expression!

After Zhang Dun finished speaking, Liang Tao hesitated and said, "Mr., the key now is that the official family must lead the army in person."

Xu Jiang listened, his face remained motionless, and he looked at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun's raised sword eyebrows moved unconsciously, his eyes were fierce and said, "What are you doing?"

It is obvious that Zhang Dun also felt it was difficult to face the issue of Zhao Xu's "in-chief" and otherwise he would not have "seeked for help".

Liang Tao's eyes flashed? He didn't say anything.

In the court, perhaps only Liang Tao had deeply understood the methods of the young official in the palace, so he did not dare to talk nonsense.

Xu Jiang was more calm and thoughtfully said: "The official family wants to lead the army to fight in person... Xiaguan believes that there is a reason. According to the current court and the implementation of the "new law", the official family is the pillar of the universe. Bianjing needs the official family to be in charge, otherwise the world will be uneasy. Xiaguan believes that he must carefully clarify the pros and cons of the official family and make decisions."

Xu Jiang was telling the truth. Now the Song Dynasty has returned because of the "new party" and the "old party" has been destroyed. The "new laws" have appeared one by one in a variety of ways, which has long caused uneasiness in the world. If Zhao Xu was not in Bianjing, it might lead to many unpredictable chaos.

But from the bottom of my heart, General Xu did not want Zhao Xu to leave Kaifeng City or even leave the palace.

When Zhang Dun saw that Xu General said a lot of nonsense, he stared at him and said, "I know that the official trusts Xu Shangshu very much. I hope that Xu Shangshu can share the conversation with the official."

Xu Jiang has never participated in party struggles and tried his best to avoid them. Similarly, he also knew that before taking power, he would arrange him in advance and make arrangements for young officials who made arrangements would not be so easy to convince.

So, General Xu was silent, as if he was thinking about a way to convince Zhao Xu.

But all the thousands of years of foxes are here, who can deceive whom?

Zhang Dun's eyebrows gradually stood up, and seeing that it was about to strike, Liang Tao hurriedly said, "How about we report together and ask the officials to think twice?"

Zhang Dun didn't even look at him, but still stared at Xu General.

Liang Tao was also talking nonsense. If the official had read what he said in the review book, the three of them would have been dismembered by five horses and died without a place to bury him.

When General Xu saw Zhang Dun refused to give up, he had to say, "Please meet with the official family later."

Xu Jiang's brows slowly relaxed and said, "The emperor's personal expedition is related to the safety of the country and society. Shangshu Xu must make it clear. There are only 20 days left before the Xia people go to Huanqing Road, so you can't wait any longer."

Xu Jiang nodded slightly, his eyes were shining, and he said, "Since Mr. Zhang doesn't go, please go."

Zhang Dun's eyes suddenly cold and said, "Of course you want to go, not to Huanqing Road, but to Hedong Road, keep an eye on the Liao people. If they really squeeze out their troops and go south and fight me back hard, they will never be allowed to wince!"

"Yes." Xu Jiang replied in a deep voice.

Even though Zhang Dun insisted that the Liao people were weak and there was no possibility of going south, the Song Dynasty court was still very nervous, believing that this was the biggest crisis since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

However, Zhang Dun's attitude was very firm. Anyone who dared to invade would beat him back and would never show weakness!

The old grandfather did not have such power and courage in the past, but Zhang Dun had such courage. By default, the official in the palace had such power!

If Cai Bian is there, he will definitely be shocked. This is the king and his ministers who are going further and further away.

Both inside and outside the palace were constantly exerting force to try to stop Zhao Xu from leading the army in person.

At the dining table in the Qingbiao Hall, Empress Meng didn't say anything, and Concubine Zhu could turn it over in just a few words.

Zhao Xu pushed left and right, and Tai Chi was extremely fancy. However, Concubine Zhu was too worried and refused to let Zhao Xu go and forced Zhao Xu to tell the truth.

Zhao Xu couldn't stop him and pretended to be deaf and began to teach Zhao Ji a lesson.

Zhao Ji didn't know what he did, but he took over Zhao Xu's lesson without any resistance, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table very strange.

In the end, Zhao Xu couldn't eat the dumplings and said with a headache: "Xiao Madam, you don't have any jokes. The words have been released. I can't go back on my word..."

Concubine Zhu refused to give in and said, "I knew you knew these things. If you were afraid, I would like to ask Mr. Zhang and others to say, "I don't believe it anymore. They can still push the monarch."

At this moment, Empress Meng suddenly whispered: "Empress, I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to ask for a leave first."

Concubine Zhu's face changed slightly and she said, "Where is it uncomfortable? Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor?"

She said, running to Queen Meng, looking concerned and worried.

Empress Meng held her lower abdomen with both hands and said, "It's okay, I just have some morning sickness."

Concubine Zhu hurriedly said, "Then stop eating, go back early to rest. The official family, you send the queen back and stay in Renming Palace today. The queen has a great morning sickness, so it must be the prince..."

Zhao Xu was worried before, so he quickly reacted, helped Queen Meng stand up, and said repeatedly: "I'll go now, little mom, take care of them, Chenpi, pass on the imperial physician, let Renming Palace prepare, don't be stunned..."

Zhao Xu made a series of arrangements and then took Empress Meng out of the birthday celebration hall.

Not far away, Zhao Xu wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "You are still smart."

Empress Meng pursed her lips and looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Official family, are you really planning to lead the imperial army in person?"

Zhao Xu took a breath and was about to nod when a yellow gate hurried over and said, "The official family, Shangshu Xu, Shangshu Liang, and Shangshu Liang are looking for a meeting."

Zhao Xu didn't know what they were going to say, so he said directly: "Just say that my idea has been decided and I won't discuss it anymore, so that they can calm down and be prepared."

"Yes." The yellow gate responded and left quickly.

Chenpi followed Zhao Xu, silent.

When Zhao Xu went to Renming Hall and passed by Funing Hall, a great man of iron pillar stood at Chu You at the entrance of Funing Hall.
