I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

King Wuxi is very desperate!

This grain is his hope. He will wait until the autumn harvest before raising troops to conquer the Central Plains!

Now it's good, the food is gone, how can he fight?

Can't beat at all!

It is useless to start the army now, his food reserves have lasted less than two months!

He must penetrate the Phoenix Mountains and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains within two months to obtain enough food.

However, the imperial court has already heavily guarded the important roads of the Phoenix Mountains.

His soldiers and horses want to go to the past, it is as difficult as going to the sky.

According to his estimation, it would take 3-4 months to penetrate the Phoenix Mountains, even if not at all costs. By that time, his soldiers and horses had already starved to death.

Moreover, in the course of the battle, be careful of this group of rat army sneak attacks.

The opponent has now become large and has to be guarded.

"Could it be... this king is going to lose?"

King Wuxi's face was full of loss and despair.

After working hard for half a lifetime, I finally managed to break into this huge foundation, with millions of soldiers, and I am ambitious to build a career, enter the capital, add a royal robe, and become the emperor.

As a result, now, the enemy did not hurt a single hair, and he collapsed first!

This feeling is so desperate!

It turned out that there was no hope, but now he gave him hope, and then beat him down with a backhand!

This feeling is the most painful and cruel!

"No! This king hasn't lost yet!"

King Wuxi took out the keel he carried with him from his arms, and said to the worried Mr. Fengchu: "Master, contact Da Yue immediately, this king needs more food! After the food is in place, immediately raise troops and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains!" twenty three

Mr. Feng Chu saw that the prince had made up his mind, and bowed his hands solemnly: "Yes, prince!"

The land in the south of the Yangtze River, the palace.

At this time, the king of Jiangnan has also reached the cliff.

Jiangnan's economy has collapsed completely, and there is no food.

If you don't fight, you'll be screwed.

"After the 5th, we will raise troops and enter the capital!" Jiangnan King said, facing his staff.

Wang Fugui was shocked: "But my lord, we don't have enough food to fight this battle!"

"Who said no?" King Jiangnan said loudly: "Although we have no food, we can buy it from Dayan!"

Wang Fugui hesitated and said euphemistically, "But your lord, Dayan is an enemy country, are they willing to sell it?"

Just to say directly, they can't sell food to us!

"They don't want money, but the most precious keel in the world, do they want it?" King Jiangnan sneered, and carefully took out the keel that he had always treasured, with deep reluctance in his eyes.

This is a peerless treasure, and it is his hope of becoming immortal!

For this keel, he almost took out his family property!

But he also deeply knows that the treasures are virtuous, and if he has no strength, he will definitely not be able to keep the keel.

Instead, it's better to take it out for food and get a chance to fight hard!

If successful, there is still a chance to get a keel in the future.

If you fail, then everything will stop, don't worry about it.

"Yes, lord! This subordinate will take care of it!" Wang Fugui and the others sighed.

"Wait!" King Jiangnan shouted.

"My lord, what else is there to order?"

"Contact Lin Beifan to this king first, this guy is very cunning, he must have a keel in his hand!"

"My lord, do you want to..."

"Take all the money and jewelry of this king in exchange for the keel, and then exchange the keel for the food! This time..." King Jiangnan's eyes were fierce and crazy: "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!!!"

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone responded.

Soon after, Lin Beifan received gold and silver jewelry worth more than 50,000 taels from King Jiangnan.

So, tearful and reluctant to part with the keel in his hand, he even went out.

"The keel is really a good thing! In the past two months, even a layer of skin has not been broken, and it has already earned me tens of millions of taels! Moreover, it also keeps giving me money back..."

Lin Beifan is very complacent and thinks that creating the gigantic hoax was his wisest decision!

"The king of Wuxi is exhausted, and the king of Jiangnan is exhausted, and the civil war is about to break out early! It seems that I have to make some preparations!"

Lin Beifan came to the prefecture and issued several orders.

This situation was not only seen by Lin Beifan, but also by the imperial court.

In the courtroom, the Empress asked straight to the point: "After experiencing the locust plague, Wuxi has no food, and Jiangnan has no food. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, my two uncles must fight hard! Ladies and gentlemen, what are the best strategies? "

"Your Majesty, the two princes have indeed reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no other way to go except the road of rebellion! Among them, in the direction of Wuxi, we have natural dangers to guard! As long as we guard the Phoenix Mountains, the King of Wuxi will not want to step on it. One step into the Central Plains!"

"In addition, outside Wuxi, there is the Great Moon Dynasty that is eyeing the tigers, and there are rebels making waves inside. Under the internal and external troubles, Wuxi is too busy to take care of himself, and it is not enough to be afraid of for the time being!"

"Wei Chen is more worried that King Wuxi might betray his ancestors and forget his virtues and collude with the Dayue Dynasty!"

The empress sitting on the dragon chair sneered, they had already colluded!

"In addition, Wei Chen is also worried that the Rebel Army may reach a reconciliation with King Wuxi and jointly deal with our court! I am even more afraid that their three major assemblies will unite... This possibility is low, but we have to guard against it!"

The Empress smiled secretly in her heart, and there was no need to worry that they would cooperate.

Because the Rebel Army and Da Yue have national hatred and family hatred, the two sides are like water and fire, and there is no possibility of cooperation at all.

The Dayue Dynasty and King Wuxi colluded with each other again, so the rebels must be against them.

If they came over, this group of rebels would definitely move on the wind and give them a good look.

Thinking of this, the Empress couldn't help looking at Lin Beifan who was fishing.

It was this guy who secretly buried a chess piece back then, but now he has played such a huge role.

As expected of my most beloved loyal servant!

"Wuxi has natural dangers to defend, and the King of Wuxi has internal and external troubles. For the time being, there is nothing to worry about! The one that Wei Chen is most worried about is the King of Jiangnan! At this time, the King of Jiangnan has nothing, and there is no other way except to raise troops!"

"Between us and Jiangnan, there is no natural danger to defend, it is more difficult to do, we must be prepared!"

"In addition, there is the King of Jibei far away in northern Hebei, who is very ambitious and has to be guarded!"

"There are also countries around our Dawu. They are eyeing tigers, coveting the hinterland of my Central Plains, and they have to guard against it!"

...

Each of the officials expressed their opinions, and the Empress nodded.

To sum it up:

King Wuxi will rebel, but as long as he defends the Phoenix Mountains, he will be safe for the time being.

The king of Jiangnan will rebel. There is a flat river between Jiangnan and the capital. The waterway is developed, and there is no natural danger to defend. It is very dangerous to fight. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare as soon as possible, mobilize troops, and arrange formations.

The King of Jibei may take the opportunity to cause chaos, and he must be prepared.

Neighboring countries may also take the opportunity to cause chaos and have to guard against it.

"Lin Aiqing, what's your opinion?" the Empress asked.

Lin Beifan bowed his hands calmly: "Report to Your Majesty, just as Baiguan said, as long as the Phoenix Mountains are guarded, Wuxi will be safe for the time being! The King of Jibei may make trouble, and the surrounding countries may take the opportunity to make trouble, but they are all grass. Swinging, watching the food and drinking. As long as we stabilize the situation, they will not dare to act rashly!"

"So, what we are mainly facing now is the King of Jiangnan and his troops! As long as Jiangnan is stable, everything else is stable, it is not a problem!"

The Empress nodded: "Aiqing, continue talking!"

"Between the capital and the south of the Yangtze River, although there is no natural danger to guard, it is very passive! However, there is also a Songjiang! This Songjiang is more than 30 feet wide and the average water depth is 60 feet. It can barely be guarded as a natural danger!"

"We Chen Bing are here, it will not be so easy for the King of Jiangnan to fight over!"

The Empress nodded again: "Well said, keep talking!"

"Second, in this battle, we will mainly procrastinate, and we will not make unnecessary sacrifices! Jiangnan has no food, we have food, as long as we hold Songjiang, the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for us, and the king of Jiangnan will not attack himself! "

The queen nodded: "Okay!"

"Third, the top priority now is to transfer the common people, and transfer all the common people close to Jiangnan to Songjiang, so as to avoid becoming a bargaining chip for the king of Jiangnan! All the money and food are also transferred, and those that cannot be taken away will be burned!"

"Well said!"

...

7 Next, Lin Beifan made several suggestions.

The Empress was very satisfied and looked at Lin Beifan with a smile: "Aiqing, it seems that you really have foresight, know how to arrange troops, and you are a great general! As the saying goes, don't bother the two masters, so I'll leave this matter to you. I have named you a military supervisor, holding a military talisman and monk Fang's sword, in charge of military affairs in Jiangnan!"

Lin Beifan was stunned: "I'm going to fight again?"

Baiguan was also stunned: "It's him again?"

"You're born twice!" The Empress smiled and said: "Before, you led your troops to defend the Hulao Pass, captured the Daxia Prince, and defeated the Daxia Dynasty! Even Daxia was defeated by you. Isn't the king of Jiangnan trivial?"

Lin Beifan was lazy and made an excuse: "But the capital is busy..."

The Empress shook her head: "Don't lie to me! Now that everything in the capital is on the right track, all officials are performing their duties. You, the governor of the capital, are often sneaking around and hooking up with women from good families!"

Lin Beifan: "..."

Lin Beifan struggled: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely nothing, don't listen to other people's nonsense!"

The Empress snorted: "That doctor Li Yuxin, isn't she?"

Lin Beifan: "..."

"The beautiful bodyguard beside you, Mo Rushuang, isn't it?"

Lin Beifan: "..."

"And there's that demon girl named Ziyue, isn't she?"

Lin Beifan: "..."

Lin Beifan was so flustered, how did the Empress know so clearly?

You didn't specifically investigate me, did you?

What I'm doing behind my back...

Admiring Lin Beifan's discolored face, the Empress let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Aiqing, let's put aside the personal affairs of the children for the time being, this matter is up to you! It's up to you, I am very relieved!"

Next, the Empress issued the imperial decree.

Give Lin Beifan the title of Supervisor, and give Lin Beifan a sword and a weapon to be in charge of Jiangnan's military affairs.

Lin Beifan, who received the imperial decree, was very sad and sad: "My lord, it's not that your subordinates have to deal with you, but your life is difficult! Your majesty is too sinister, let us kill each other! Under Jiuquan, I hope you don't blame me!" .
