It was October, and the autumn was getting stronger. The leaves on the mountain beside it had already fallen, and the river valley where Qinzhou was located was already golden. What should be harvested has been harvested, what should be planted has been planted, the farming has passed, and it is time for war.

Xu Ping stood at the top of the city wall and looked at the autumn scenery around him, his face not looking good.

The court still argued endlessly about the business strategies of Lan and Hui states. Xu Ping repeatedly urged him to make up his mind early, but this determination was delayed. Of course, Xu Ping could leave the court aside and set up his own countermeasures against Yu Zanghuama, but as the Bian Zheng, he had just arrived for less than a year and had not made great contributions, so it was always inappropriate to do so.

"The five hearts are unstable, and you lose completely!" Xu Ping sighed and walked slowly on the city wall.

Yang Wenguang and Jia Kui had already gone to Gangu to build a city, but they had conflicts with the leader there from time to time, building and stopping, as if they could not build a new year. This is a established strategy. If you really want to build a big city there, Xu Ping would send Lu Fang with you and build the city in half a month. Building the city was originally intended to lure Yu Zanghuama to attack.

Yu Zang Huama was also not determined. The foreign troops had some established procedures for combat, which could not be avoided. Xu Ping set up Jiyisi and sent spies around him, but this information could not be concealed.

From the experience learned in previous lives, the spies sent by Jiyisi only collect intelligence and do not involve other matters. These people are doing business, farming, and working normally. No matter what happens around them, they just send intelligence to Jiyisi, and they don’t care about anything else. As for what spies are used to counter-spionage or assassination, Xu Ping does not allow them. Naturally, there are regular troops to fight, and the intelligence network is precious and cannot be lost because of these things. Even if it is to create rumors and make Yu Zanghuama make up his mind, he will send someone from the General Administration to the Fan Department, and Jiyisi’s intelligence personnel are not aware of it at all.

Seeing the surrounding mountains in depression, Xu Ping felt irritable. Strategic decisions are the most reckless, but they are also the same. The Privy Council was unable to make up its mind for a long time, which made Xu Ping feel so angry.

At this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps came. Xu Ping turned his head and saw Li Zhang running hurriedly to the top of the city.

He went to Xu Ping to salute with his hands, Li Zhang said, "Jings and Commanders have just received the report. Yu Zang Huama is establishing a grammar in the area of ​​Xicheng City, and swears with iron arrows that he will commit a large-scale invasion of Qinzhou this fall!"

"Here, I'm finally here!" Xu Ping looked at the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains in the south of the city and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Hehuang area has no subordinates to each other and has attacked each other for many years. Most of the neighboring foreign tribes have had a feud. If they want them to unite to send troops to fight, it is necessary to establish grammar. The so-called establishment of grammar means to swear each other. The previous hatred is no longer concerned. For one purpose, one fights or defends, and everyone temporarily unites to send troops to fight. It is precisely because of this that any foreign tribes under Qinzhou who swear to establish grammar is regarded as treason. Qinzhou can directly send troops to kill without reporting to the court.

Xu Ping has been waiting for Yu Zang Huama's action. As long as he established a grammar, Qinzhou would not have to wait for the order of the Privy Council and arrange a strategy for the expedition on his own. Correspondingly, once the foreign troops established a grammar, the matter would be settled and the dispatch of troops would be finalized.

The Qian Qiang reiterated revenge. As long as there was a lawsuit between the two tribes, they often fought for decades or even hundreds of years. Many feuds were formed in this way. Similarly, they also valued vows, usually using arrows, and using monkeys and chickens to be more solemn, and using three animals. The most important thing is to use human sacrifices. When the oath is made, the alliance cannot be defeated.

The launch of arrows and raising troops is an old custom in Western Fandom. When arrows are spread, war will definitely begin, otherwise the loyalists will lose all their faith and relatives.

Xu Ping pressed the female wall on the top of the city, looked at a gap in the mountains not far away, and said softly: "Prime Minister Zhuge first went to Qishan and used troops to Longyou. I wonder if he was as worried as I was as worried about gains and losses as I did. If things didn't come, I always looked forward to it. When it really came, I always felt that I had not arranged it well. Alas, once the army came out, millions of lives and the safety of the court was related to it. Isn't it a joke?"

After saying that, he turned to Li Zhang and asked: "Is there any news in the imperial court? In the first war, I still hope that the imperial court will support it."

Li Zhang hesitated for a moment before saying, "A few days ago, Han Sheren returned to Beijing from Sichuan and Shu, but he could not see that the Privy Council could not make a decision when encountering major events. In the previous chapter, he impeached several Privy Council officials and censors, and some of them followed the previous chapter."

Xu Ping nodded and said softly: "Han Qi is here, the Privy Council is going to replace people."

Han Qi is extremely sleek in dealing with people. Of course, this sleekness is not sleekness. He can grasp the general direction. He never offends people to death, nor does he have a very close relationship with people, and is always close. Even with Xu Ping, the two of them had many years of friendship in the same year and were not very close to each other, but when they were used, he would always stand up just right. After Xu Ping arrived in the northwest, Han Qi supported Xu Ping's active policy of management, but opposed the class law, and his attitude was very subtle.

Xu Ping concluded that Han Qi's preface to the title of the imperial edict was able to shake the personnel of the Privy Council because of the relationship between the two, but Xu Ping knew that Han Qi represented Zhao Zhen's meaning. He could speak out in the court on behalf of the emperor and not be aware of it. He must be the identity of a censor, and other officials were not suitable. Xu Ping was the closest minister with Zhao Zhen, but he had never been a slogan, and he had never done such a thing for Zhao Zhen. Xu Ping was really doing things steadily and was promoted to his current position with real political achievements. With his experience, even if he did not have this level of relationship with Zhao Zhen, Dangxiang would be sent to the northwest to be a roadside commander, but his authority and what he did would be different.

It is not clear when Han Qi was attracted to Xu Ping, who was in the Censorate. He had this sign before he left the capital. For officials of Xu Ping, there were also suspicions from the palace, so it was not difficult to find out such a thing. Everyone was tacitly informed, and using Han Qi as a voice-over to understand Zhao Zhen was also good.

As a military minister, Wang Deyong was restrained in the Privy Council and could not make any decision. He would definitely be replaced this time. Moreover, the Censor Kong Daofu disliked him and kept causing trouble for him. He would definitely help Han Qi this time. As for Han Yi, who cooperated with Chen Yaozuo repeatedly interfered, he would probably leave with Wang Deyong, and the personnel affairs of the Privy Council would change drastically.

Who will replace Wang Deyong? Xu Ping dared not guess randomly, but he thought he would definitely make decisions by changing his positions.

The two troubles that had been bothering me were all the time, and Xu Ping's mood finally got better. Yu Zang Huama had just started to move and wanted to unify the tribes around him. He had to spend a lot of energy and time on his way to join the foreign tribes. And to achieve things, he was afraid that it would cost a lot of real money and silver.

After breathing a sigh of relief at Tian Chang, Xu Ping said to Li Zhang: "You brought two good news. Today you are in a good mood. Go and call Shi Tongzhang, Sang Xiucai and Gao Daquan. Let's have a drink together. More than ten years ago, we were drinking and having fun in Zhongmu Zhuangzi. Think about it, there was no such day for many years."

Li Zhang smiled and said, "Ji Shuai has naturally lost these fun in his official career over the years. What are the identities of us at that time? Where can we think of today? Thinking of the past, it is natural to drink a glass!"
