"What's the news these two days?" Fang Shaoqun sat opposite Liu Zhiyuan with a big sting. He was another staff member who was responsible for collecting news and unconfirmed rumors for Liu Zhiyuan.

"Nan Xunchen moved out more than 300 bodies yesterday." The staff member said: "It's the least one."

"Have the weather warmed up?" Fang Shaoqun said: "Jingzhao Yin is really a waste. I am afraid that more than 5,000 people have died this winter. It makes me feel angry."

Fang Shaoqun was still a little angry, and the staff next to him couldn't help but feel a little funny, even funny.

Jingzhao Yin Pan Zhimei was the first to be promoted by Liu Zhiyuan with his strong support. Jingzhao Yin's status is quite special and is regarded as the first important city that Liu Zhiyuan has won. It has important significance. As for his ability and ethics, of course, it is not considered.

"What else?"

"The Prince of Nan'an Hou entered Beijing last night. The old prime minister went to Muqinguan to meet him. Later, he left directly. There was nothing special about the day today. The Prince of Nan'an Hou went to see the Grand Master Han. The Prince of South Korea said that within a few days, the inheritance of the title could be handled. Because the Prince made many great contributions, some necessary assessments were directly exempted, which was considered part of the court's reward for the merits."

"Does he have any contact with Duke Wu?"

"No." The aide suddenly laughed: "I heard that they were still arguing in front of the Muqin Pavilion, I really don't know why..."

"Why?" Fang Shaoqun said rudely: "I don't know who was encouraged by Xu Zicheng, that idiot, ran to the capital to ask for a request to stay in Beijing. He is really a ignorant person. Xu Zixian is obviously much smarter than him. Hurry up and take the Examination Hall Examination Examination and leave Beijing afterwards. Are you still thinking about why? What else is there?"

"Pu Shougao entered Beijing." The aide was used to Fang Shaoqun's arrogant attitude and swallowed his anger: "He went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible."

"This man came for Lin Douyao and Han Bingzhong." Fang Shaoqun smiled and said, "Han Zhong will not save Han Bingzhong and Luo Gongdu, but will save Lin Douyao. This can only be done to this point. We want to attack Han Zhong in it. Thousands of pirates have caused trouble, but they have never captured the prefectures and counties. The weight is too light."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded slightly and expressed his agreement with Fang Shaoqun's view.

Unlike Han Zhong, who changed into a relaxed casual robe after returning home, even in his study, Liu Zhiyuan still wore a soft-footed head inlaid with jasper and a purple robe from the imperial gift. The goldfish bag on his waist was hung meticulously.

Fang Shaoqun privately commented on Liu Zhiyuan's dress and style. Liu Zhiyuan was so angry that he fell several cups afterwards. Of course, he finally endured it.

Fang Shaoqun's keenness and courage to speak are beyond the reach of ordinary staff. At this critical moment, Liu Zhiyuan's dependence on Fang Shaoqun is not comparable to ordinary staff.

"Where is the way to break the deadlock?" Liu Zhiyuan said slightly anxiously. Fang Shaoqun sat opposite him with such a relaxed and freehand thorn, which also made Liu Zhiyuan very dissatisfied. Of course, he had to suppress this emotion.

"Mr. Liu should be a little calm." Fang Shaoqun said distractedly: "Han Zhong is almost in chaos. We will use the censor to attack him. The three envoys will not cooperate with him in terms of financial resources. Next year, Zhang Guangen is 70 years old. If he does not resign, we will attack him. Once Zhang Guangen leaves, the Privy Council will also turn to our side. If Han Zhong doesn't leave, he has to consider whether he will really incite the capital to incite a chaos... To this point, it is actually the end. The chess pieces cannot be messed up, and we cannot be anxious. From the following point of view, Han Zhong will definitely resign sincerely within two to three years. Before that, the Right Prime Minister and Privy Council will all replace people. Of course, the official family will change the candidates Liu Gong likes, but I would like to remind you that Liu Gong is optional for another position. The Minister of Personnel must change his own people within one or two years. By then, the Left Prime Minister is actually a lonely person, and it doesn't matter whether he leaves or stays."

Liu Zhiyuan won the favor of the emperor and fought with Han Zhong, the basic roadmap, including the major political tide caused by the proposal of the Northern Expedition, were designed by Fang Shaoqun again and again.

Although slow, it is indeed quite effective.

Han Zhong was already losing his city and land, and the emperor became increasingly tired of Han Zhong, who specifically sang a counter-tune to him.

Liu Zhiyuan's tone was getting higher and higher, which attracted strong support from a large number of pro-war factions in the court.

In this situation, as Fang Shaoqun said, Han Zhong couldn't hold on for too long.

"But what about the Northern Expedition?" Liu Zhiyuan said: "The Privy Council has recruited soldiers from all walks of life, gathering in Yunzhou, the capital, Jizhou and Pingzhou respectively. It is expected to dispatch 300,000 troops. It is already very urgent to send troops in summer and autumn."

"Mr. Liu really wants to fight the Northern Expedition?" Fang Shaoqun said in surprise: "When he was making suggestions on behalf of Mr. Liu, he said first. Now he has not been familiar with the morale of the army, generals, troops, armor, weapons, beds and crossbows, food and grass, and the enemy situation. The Northern Expedition is just a great name for fighting with Han Zhong. Is Mr. Liu really interested in this?"

"The Northern Expedition is inevitable..." Liu Zhiyuan was a little depressed, but his eyes were still full of perseverance. He slowly said: "The emperor summoned me several times in a row, and he talked about the Northern Expedition. The emperor had a firm intention. Han Zhong did not want to fight the Northern Expedition, so the emperor decided to replace him... Even if I was, I would still use the Northern Expedition to build a worldly achievements. How could I give up halfway?"

Fang Shaoqun was stunned. He was indeed proposed by him, but he really didn't expect that he would let the tiger out of the siege? Liu Zhiyuan, who was in front of him, obviously wanted to use the major events of the Northern Expedition to unite the local military and political forces, and truly grasp the court. During the war, the local government needed to fully cooperate with the center, and the military, political, financial and power of all departments were under the control of the center. The ministers who presided over the Northern Expedition would definitely be able to perform their power skills in the middle and wash away the military and political officials of all departments. Then, in the center, they also needed the full cooperation of the two governments, and the power of the temple ministers of each department could basically be in control.

In addition to power, Fang Shaoqun also felt Liu Zhiyuan's true ambition at this time.

Yes, Liu Zhiyuan really wants to fight the Northern Expedition.

Power and desire make themselves stronger, be famous in history, get rid of Han Zhong's shadow, win the trust of the emperor, and gain at least twenty years of glory, wealth and supreme power. These are the reasons why Liu Zhiyuan wanted to fight the Northern Expedition.

Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was extremely successful. With the support of the Northern Prefecture Army, Liu Yu fought all the way to Guanzhong and restored Chang'an and Luoyang. If it were not for selfish intentions to return to Jiangnan to usurp the throne, Liu Yu could have truly occupied Guanzhong and the Central Plains. The Northern Expedition had actually been successful.

The success of his later success was regrettable. Liu Zhiyuan knew that if the Northern Expedition he presided over could succeed, although he had not thought of usurping the world of the Wei Dynasty like Liu Yu, it would at least make him stand at a very high level, so high that even the emperor could do nothing.

Leaving a name in history and actual power reputation, these two things stimulate Liu Zhiyuan's ambitions all the time.

"The Northern Expedition may not be a failure..." Liu Zhiyuan explained to Fang Shaoqun: "With Li Guorui as the commander, Yue Qi, Li Youde and other famous generals, the imperial guards dispatched 150 armies, instead of the previous ones, plus the 100 armies of the wing army, 500,000 armies were pushed out of the pass, leaving the pass from Shanhai and heading north..."

Liu Zhiyuan looked furious, and he continued: "Going north, rejoin the Governor's Office, Dingxiang Governor's Office, Juyan Governor's Office, Songmo Governor's Office. Going west, as the main force of the army, attacking the main force of the Donghu, reviving Yingzhou, establishing the western Liaoxi Prefecture, Pingliao Prefecture, Huaiyuan Prefecture, leading the Fang Prefecture, Changli Prefecture, along Pingzhou to Yingzhou, establishing the Lulong Army, Pinglu Army, Huaiyuan Army, Baoding Army, and the fourth army of the Baoding Army, and then establishing Rulu and Yan County.

Huaiyuan, Wujian, Xiangping, Yuguan Liuzha, Yangshi, Sanhe, Luhe and other sixteen villages were set up along the way forty post stations, Xiangping of Yan and Yingzhou Governor's Office in the Tang Dynasty. Once successful, you can build a city to guard the Governor's Office in the north, and then you can restore Helan, Yunzhong, Huyan and the Great Governor's Office in the north, and then set up Hanhai Governor's Office in the north, and Beiting Governor's Office. If your achievements reach this point, the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty can be restored in my hands. This is a success of achievements!"

Liu Zhiyuan was already intoxicated by the prospects he imagined and could not extricate himself for a while.

If we look at the map, what Liu Zhiyuan wants to restore is not only the route to attack Liaodong along the Bohai bend line. Dingxiang, Raole and Juyan Governor's Offices to the north were all set up in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which were later Mongolian Kalaqin pastoral areas and the territory of the Chahar people. Previously, it was the territory of the Turks, Shiwei, Khitan, and Xi people. China was so powerful that it was unimaginable in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The area occupied by the Mongols occupied by later Mongolians set up the governor's office here, and the prefecture army guarded it, and went north to the Hanhai Governor's Office, where the Khalkha tribes were located in later generations. The Hanhai Governor's Office managed the Hanhai, which was the place where Lake Baikal was later.

The Beiting Protector manages the future WHO Lat Mongolia, that is, large areas of land in Xinjiang to Outer Mongolia, including Russia. From deserts to grasslands, to Gobi, to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains with abundant water and grass, all of which are within the management scope of the Beiting Protector.

Countless tribes crawled under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, rushing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. An imperial edict from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could control tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 Hu cavalry to fight for the Tang Dynasty. Even the Han Dynasty, which was famous for its powerful Han Dynasty, although Chen Tang could control tens of thousands of Hu soldiers, but at the peak of the Han Dynasty, he could control so many tribes in the grasslands, the Gobi, and desert areas, and mobilize so many soldiers. Emperor Tang, also the Tian Khan, was the real lord of China and the lord of all tribes!

Of course, there were also wars and blood, conspiracies and betrayals. With the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to decline helplessly. The major governor's offices that had been in operation for many years were forced to give up, including the old Yan Xiangping, the Yingzhou of the Tang Dynasty, and many military and governor's offices.

Liu Zhiyuan’s idea is to do his best in one battle!

Instead of being passively beaten, it is better to mobilize an army of 500,000 or 600,000 people to push them out.

The armor of the Great Wei imperial guards was better than that of the Donghu. They were busy with defense and exhausted. According to Liu Zhiyuan's idea, hundreds of thousands of troops were pushed out, and the Donghu people were no match at all!

In addition, the 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers built military camps along the way, and defended the west and north. Even if the Donghu could not fight, it would be quite difficult and almost impossible to invade from north to south in the future.

As for the Northern Lu, although he failed to rule the northern buildings since Taizu founded the country, the Northern Lu has been going south to fight Qiufeng, but the scale has not been fought. Over the past 200 years, the Northern Lu's combat effectiveness has continued to decline, and it is no longer a problem.

This Northern Expedition was a truly powerful war. It is estimated that 600,000 people would have to be mobilized in the early stage. After the war was opened, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people would have to be mobilized.

If it can really be achieved as the effect conceived by Liu Zhiyuan and the establishment of the governor's offices of the Five Prefectures and Four Armys, this is really a great achievement for thousands of years. Even after a thousand years, Liu Zhiyuan is still a Chinese hero who has been praised for a while. Compared with Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Jing and others, his achievements are no less than that, and they are even on it.
