Zuo Xiangfu.

The red lacquered door behind the majestic stone lions is tightly closed. In the meeting hall, the left prime minister is sitting at the head of the meeting, followed in order by Grand Master Geng Jingguo, General Fei Qingming, Minister of Personnel Zhen Shiren, and Minister of Households Fei Wuzai.

They were discussing something intensely. On the long table in front of them, in addition to the best Dahongpao, dim sum from southern Zhejiang, and tangerines from Chengdu, there were also a bunch of colorful discounts.

Li Linfu, the left prime minister, closed his eyes tightly and tapped his right index finger lightly on the chair, making a sound of the joints colliding with the wood.

"Last year there was a flood in Yunzhong, the military disaster in Xiadong the year before last, and this year's drought in Ningshan and Shunping. This is the urgent report sent by Qiao Zunbabaili. The city of Hangzhou was hit by refugees, but it was under control. The balance of the Ministry of Household Affairs was really good.

There are not enough..." Zhen Shiren said word by word: "Officials govern the world with benevolence and filial piety. The Queen Mother's Hall of Supreme Harmony needs to be renovated, and the front hall has been scheduled until next year. I don't have much money..."

"That's what you said. Cheng Lixin died of illness in Chengdu in the southwest. Cheng Yun inherited the position of the head of the family. He will definitely take action against his uncle. This is a good opportunity for us." Fei Qingming snorted coldly and pointed out the pros and cons.

Geng Jingguo said: "Cheng Yun has not recruited troops yet, but has only replaced Cheng Xin. He may become one of the new Eight Kingdoms Pillars, but as long as he is appeased, it will not be successful. The remaining members of the Cheng family will be sent out by the Grand Guardian of Chengdu."

, it is possible to live a good life and live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Now the government is concerned about the Hexi Corridor. Take a look at the discount that just arrived yesterday..."

Geng Jingguo had gray hair and stern eyes. He didn't look like he was in his sixties at all. He slowly took out a folder from his sleeve and handed it to Fei Qingming.

Fei Qingming frowned and opened it, sneered, and threw the folder on the table: "Are Tujue and Dayuan three-year-old children? How could they be so childish? Just wait for me, Daxia, to reap the benefits? The security guard of Ningshan Prefecture ten years ago

The war is still vivid in my mind. These people who eat dry food have yellow mouths and white teeth. They have offended me, and I will take them all to the front line to taste for myself whether their own farts smell good or not."

After saying this, Li Linfu, who had been silent, slowly opened his eyes, like a falcon, and looked around at the four people around him.

Zhen Shiren and Fei Wu didn't know what was written on the booklet, but when they saw Li Linfu opening his eyes, they didn't dare to say anything anymore and waited for the left prime minister to speak.

Li Linfu straightened up. His black and white hair was a little dry. It had obviously not been taken care of for two days and was a little scattered. He picked up the warm tea, took a sip, spit it into the porcelain bowl on the side, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Hu Hu, just opened his mouth and said:

"The war between the Turks and the Yuan Dynasty at Heishui ten years ago cut away thousands of miles of fertile land in our Daxia Box Corridor. As a result, the right prime minister retired and returned home. The current internal conflict between the Turks and the Yuan Dynasty must also be due to the contribution of the right prime minister at that time. Whether we admit it or not

Admit it, the officials all know about it."

Geng Jingguo's originally gloomy eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and his spirit was shaken: "The Prime Minister on the left is saying... The Prime Minister on the right may..."

"Ten years, how many variables have there been in the intervening years? Is it true that Zhuge Liang was still alive? Did he have a plan? Could he have planned it ten years ago? I don't believe it." Zhen Shiren shook his head: "If this is true, I am convinced, but the facts...

"

"But the fact is that Dayuan and the Turks are going to war..." Geng Jingguo interrupted Zhen Shiren.

Fei Qingming cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, if we start a war, won't our Great Xia Dynasty have the opportunity to take back the land thousands of miles away from the Hexi Corridor? If we use the Qilian Mountains as a barrier to block the Yuan Dynasty in the north, we can open up the Hexi Corridor and extend it to the Kunlun Mountains in the west.

Stopping the Turks and reviving the Great Xia is just around the corner... I will eventually think..."

Before Fei Qingming finished speaking, Li Linfu chuckled: "Haha, has the general forgotten the battle of Horqin?"

As soon as these words came out, all four of them took a breath. Who could forget the Battle of Horqin?

It was the first battle against the Turks in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was also the most critical battle. In the Yuan Dynasty, Yelvji and Timur led 20,000 troops to defeat a hundred thousand Turkic army in Horqin. They became famous in the first battle. From then on, Timur led

The army captured most of the Turkic lands for Yeluji, and then went north to form the current Yuan Dynasty and occupied the land of Liaodong.

In the Great Xia's battle against Heishui, a 200,000-strong army faced off against a 100,000-strong Turkic army, but ended in a disastrous defeat. If they had fought against the Yuan Dynasty, the consequences could be imagined.

Fei Qingming's original excitement was extinguished by a basin of cold water from Li Linfu. He stood up and sat back down in his seat the next moment.

Li Linfu continued: "Our dynasty has its own four armies: tigers, warriors, gods, and Tiance, as well as a hundred thousand elite soldiers in the hands of General Fei. We have been working hard for ten years. It is not the army of Daxia ten years ago, but what is the chance of victory?"

How much there is and whether we are sure of it all need to be carefully considered. We can't just let the wind take its toll. Is the Hexi Corridor more important or the government's power? Which is more important? You have to think about it before you speak."

The atmosphere was unusually silent, like the moment of tranquility before a storm.

Everyone knows that the officials attach great importance to the north. Even droughts, floods, and uprisings are at best internal strife. Unlike the Yuan Dynasty and the Turks, they are invasions and will lead to the subjugation of the country. As long as there is a war, victory must be achieved.

Ci Ningque blocked the Turks, but there was also an element of luck. If it were a real fight with a real sword or a real gun, the outcome is still uncertain.

"It's time to move the chess pieces that were placed in the past, otherwise they will forget their mission. If they want to fight, they must win. General Fei, do you have the confidence to win?" Li Linfu broke the silence and also

Only he can break the tranquility.

Fei Qingming clenched his fists, stood up abruptly, and bowed to Li Linfu: "The last general Fei Qingming, if I can't take over the land thousands of miles west of the Hexi River, I would like to die in a horse leather shroud to show my ambition."

Li Linfu chuckled, stood up, and helped Fei Qingming up: "If you wrap your body in horse leather and die to prove your ambition, all the soldiers and horses in the world will return to Lu Fang. This is a major matter related to the country. General Fei should think twice."

"I will finally understand..." Fei Qingming's eyes flashed with light and he slowly stood up.

"Okay, the grand master can just send someone to the southeast to appease him. To use troops against the north, it depends on the official's wishes." Li Linfu suddenly frowned slightly: "By the way, Princess Changping is back, you can't lose it.

Etiquette."

"Yes..." The four of them stood up, cupped their hands, and looked at Li Linfu waving his hands and walking towards the inner room. A maid had already stepped forward to support him.

"The money and grain have just arrived at Ningshan and Shunping. They should be able to last for a while. I hope there will be no accidents during the autumn harvest." Fei Wu walked out of Zuo Xiang's Mansion and walked with Grand Master Geng Jingguo.

But Geng Jingguo shook his head: "If something unexpected happens, Ning Que will almost become king by himself, but he is so powerful, and the officials still have to remember his kindness ten years ago. Haha, if Ning Que can't solve it, then who will?"

Can it be solved? Besides, if it can’t be solved, just kill it.”

Fei Wu paused for a moment, then sighed and said: "Listen to what the Left Prime Minister said, the Right Prime Minister is very likely to resurrect. The war in the north has started again. I, the Minister of Household Affairs, should resign."

"Hey, you can just talk to me about what you said, but you can't say it nonsense. If it reaches the ears of the Left Prime Minister, it won't be your turn to resign." Geng Jingguo grabbed Fei Wu's arm and shook it hard.

Fei Wu chuckled: "Master's words are serious, I, Fei Wu, am just a small minister."

"But, should the Left Prime Minister fight or not fight today? What does it mean to talk about Fei Qingming? He is your cousin, why not..."
