Even if you prepare for war, it is still a peaceful and prosperous era. For Luoyang, war is no big deal. With the example of the King of Yan robbing Funan and Lin Yi, they did not think there was anything wrong with war. Anyway, it was not their turn to die, and they were definitely indispensable to making meritorious services, so just fight.

What should I care about? Many gentry still think that the slaves at home are a bit insufficient. Besides, the labor force for digging the canal is still insufficient, and the number of people in the Hetao tribe may be better.

"After a parting in Luoyang, can the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty be good? Goguryeo north of Pingzhou repeatedly invaded the border, threatening the king's vassal state. The farmers and tenants suffered huge losses. I endured it again and again until I could not bear it anymore. Now, Luoyang is ready to sweep the north. I thought about it and felt that I took this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to threaten Goguryeo in the name of helping Hetao. If Goguryeo commits again, I will never tolerate it and solve the future troubles once and for all. The court officials in the court were the chief minister of the Secretary of the Secretariat, the Secretary of the Secretariat, and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty as the chief advisor. This time, I asked for help from the Minister of the Gong and asked the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty for help when necessary."

Wang Rong put away Sima Ji's letter, scratched his head and looked at Zhang Da who had just entered Luoyang. He smiled and said, "Guardian, how are His Highness King Yan coming soon?"

"Your Highness is safe, but Youzhou is located in a remote area, so it is inconvenient to get in contact. In fact, the King of Yan has always wanted to visit the Secretary of the Shangshu. This time he came here, he prepared some gifts, hoping that the Secretary of the Shangshu can take care of him in the court." Zhang Da bowed slightly and dealt with the Minister of the regent in Sima Ji's tone. "Your Highness said that if the Secretary of the Court is taken care of by the Secretary of the Court, he, the vassal king who is a founding country, would be much more comfortable. The Secretary of the Court also knows that my Highness likes to be idle clouds and wild cranes, and does not care much about major affairs in the court. Wherever he looks, he is just his own founding country."

"Wang Rong has always admired the open-mindedness of King Yan. He was born in a high-ranking rank to treat corporals. King Yan has done many things that everyone cannot do in metaphysics!" Wang Rong stroked his beard gently, and suddenly remembered that he was also the leader of the seven sages of the bamboo forest. He could not help but wear some transcendent temperament when he spoke.

Zhang Da looked at his eyes and his mouth and his heart. Before coming, Sima Ji reminded him that although Wang Rong was the leader of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, he was indeed a very practical person. Even if he was full of metaphysics, he should not care about it. It was just a concealment. If the actual person talked about practical matters.

Among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Wang Rong is an alien. Although he is full of metaphysics, he is very practical in life. Otherwise, he would not be so greedy for money. There are few people who are greedy for money. His full of metaphysics are used as an advancement level, which is completely different from the rest of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Only Wang Rong has achieved a high and powerful position.

Don’t think that people who are greedy for money cannot do things. Sima Ji still remembers that Wang Rong once made a very beneficial proposal to the Jin Dynasty, which was to improve the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and introduce the Sino-Japanese War. When foreign officials were in vain, the Ministry of Personnel would use the Sino-Japanese War system as a reason to evade the responsibility of losing talents. This is the institutional background of the memorial "relying on the limited law to avoid" in the memorial. Therefore, Fu Xian emphasized that "talent is not first-class, and his duties are different." He advocated that the transfer and selection of foreign officials should be paid attention to the ability of officials to govern the people.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was the most dangerous period of Wang Rong's career. Soon Wang Rong was attacked by court officials. It was not until this time that Jia Hou was in charge of the court that he came out of the mountain to assist Zhang Hua in the administration.

A person who lives a very practical life, greedy and stingy person, the King of Yan is willing to spend money, but his money is not for nothing, he has to do things if he spends money.

Zhang Hua waved his hand to the guards of the Yan Prince's Mansion behind him, and many wooden boxes were opened one by one. Zhang Hua bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Shangshu Ling, Your Highness said that although the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, it can also be explained as putting everything on the surface. Your Highness never makes people give in vain until there is gain or loss. This time I really want to treat the minister Ling friendly, please see..."

"Your Highness took out a million yuan from the inner treasury of the mansion. Although the money is not much, it can only be regarded as a show of sincerity!" Zhang Hua turned around and walked past many wooden boxes one by one, first pointing to several wooden boxes full of copper coins, then turned his eyes and pointed to another wooden box, and took out an jade statue from it. "Your Highness's year of expedition, and most of the treasures he received were handed over to the national treasury, and not much left. This statue is something His Highness loved deeply, and it turned out to be Fan Sheng, the King of Funan."

"Your Highness is so polite. What should I do? Wang Rong is so ashamed!" Wang Rong immediately made an expression that was invincible and waved his hands repeatedly, but this was definitely not for Zhang Da, but for Sima Ji in front of Zhang Da.

Your Highness said that with Wang Rong's character, things are not difficult to deal with, and they will not cause me any difficulties. It's really good!

Zhang Da actually met many gentry members, and also knew that many gentry members felt that the air was dirty when they met. Now when they saw Wang Rong, they felt that Wang Rong, a stranger, was more like a normal person.

"This is the head of the xiju, which is cut off from the king, and it is the essence of the body. It can be used to suppress the house, invade the evil people, maintain the stability of the family, and it is even more effective for the elderly." Zhang Hua continued to read the script one by one, which was really difficult for him. Before coming, he memorized all Sima Ji's lies.

"This thing has such a wonderful use!" A hint of possessiveness flashed in Wang Rong's eyes, and the balance in his heart had already been tilted. However, as the Shangshu Ling, he could not be too explicit about copper coins and jade carvings.

Even if Wang Rong is an alien among the gentry, he should be careful of the face of the gentry. When he saw something like Xishou, who was not good-looking but had very precious things, he would not sting to praise him. It showed that he was not moved by money, but simply appreciated him.

"There is also this object, which was taken from the centenarian leader of the elephant group. The Shangshu Ling, this is something that is hard to come by. In previous years, small countries paid tribute to them, and it was impossible for this item to be presented. Your Highness respected the Shangshu Ling very much."

Zhang Da's introduction was very slow, ensuring that Wang Rong could hear and hear clearly. He introduced the items sent from Youzhou in detail. In fact, Sima Ji really bleeded one million yuan. Ivory and rhinoceros heads were expensive for the gentry in Luoyang, and they were worthless to the King of Yan who would eat wherever he went.

"If this Goguryeo is not eliminated, it will be a disaster for a long time!" Wang Rong coughed softly, showing a worrying about the country and the people and sighed with regret, but accidentally said the famous sayings from later generations. Of course, this was what Sima Ji only heard after Zhang Da returned to Youzhou.

"Your Highness will definitely admire Shangshuling's talent!" Zhang Da bowed and understood without saying anything. This was enough, which was equivalent to let Sima Ji wait for the good news.

Nowadays, the capture of Hetao is of course the top priority, and the news will certainly not spread to the people. But whether it is the royal family, the queen or the minister of the regent, they are all very clear about it and know that this is a matter of time.

The vassal kings who led the troops had been confirmed, with the approval of the queen and the support of the auxiliary ministers, all they discussed were some details. Even the Qin King in Guanzhong expressed his respect, so what else was there?

The Hetao area is a confusing area. This place can be said to be able to grazle and farm, but whether it is farming or grazing, it is not as good as arable land or pastoral areas. Occupation is usually to protect the capital and also to occupy it for security issues. If you really want to say that this land is unique, it may not be possible to reach it. The place that is truly suitable for the people of the Central Plains is actually the smallest place in Wuyuan County.

The people of the Jin Dynasty were not later generations, and they could use hundreds of billions of tons of coal in Ordos.

"The river is frozen and thawed in April, which is a good opportunity to send troops. After a winter of suffering, many tribes in Hetao have not yet grown up, and we have already stored the food and grass this time. This is the most suitable time of the year."

"This time, Guanzhong sent 30,000 troops and Luoyang sent 20,000 troops. I led 20,000 troops from Yecheng to join forces to open the front line. The troops from Qinzhou and Bingzhou thought it would be of no use. Just don't let someone run away. It is expected that Hetao will be able to be taken before autumn. Since Wei abandoned Hetao, I will take back Hetao in Jin."

"Yes, I think April is good. According to the detailed reward, the river began to be unblocked in April, but it was not fully opened. At this time, the river seemed to be able to pass by people, but in fact the ice was already very thin. Qiang and Hu living in Hetao must know. Think about our army coming, are they going to cross the river or stay where they are waiting to die?"

At that time, crossing the river, especially large-scale escape, and a little bit of ice unstable, would be a tragedy on earth.

Whether it is the kings discussing or Jia Nanfeng who was listening, they do not think that this battle will be delayed. Since ancient times, there are only two modes of war, one is to win quickly and the other is to be stalemate. If the Jin Dynasty is not going well, it will retreat on its own. There will be no latter at all. Once the war starts for a few months, it is a high probability event.

Wang Rong, who had been silent, nodded frequently, and then seemed to be a little indescribable. Several people noticed it. Jia Nanfeng said, "What's wrong with Shangshu Ling? Are you so hesitant?"

"Isn't it Youzhou? After the King of Yan returned to the fiefdom, he found that his fiefdom was frequently robbed by Goguryeo, and the same was true for the governor of Pingzhou. From that time on, the memorials submitted frequently mentioned the incident of Goguryeo's plundering. The King of Yan was young and energetic, and might have taught Goguryeo a lesson. We have been suppressing it for several months."

"But now the army is going to advance to Hetao, and the court cannot start another war!" Jia Nanfeng pondered for a moment, "If this happens, the national treasury will be greatly damaged."
