Four days later, the good news of the great victory of Qinfeng Road reached Bianliang, which excited the entire Zhou court.

After many years, the Great Zhou Dynasty had never achieved such brilliant achievements. If it weren't for Wu Zang Epang's pill, the emperor could have gone to Taimiao to offer prisoners and worship ancestors.

Zichen Palace.

The official family sat on it, and it was rare to smile on his face.

Among the many ministers below, Chai Ziyun, the Duke of Chengguo, was very happy and glanced at Cui Miyuan from time to time.

Prime Minister Cui lowered his head and could not see any expression.

Deputy Prime Minister Xu Zuoqian read out the good news sent by Lu Zhizhao, and read out another secret letter.

This made everyone in the hall gasp. The young emperor of Xixia and the empress dowager in power both died in a disaster?

After a brief surprise, everyone discovered a good opportunity. Now the country of Xixia has become a mess. The emperor is dead, the empress dowager is dead, and the 180,000 army is dead.

You should know that Xixia only has a population of 3 million, and the total national troop strength is only 500,000, which is almost half of it. In addition, Xixia has suffered severe drought and people are living in poverty.

It seems to be the best time to destroy Xixia.

The deputy envoy of Privy Councilor Chen Bowen was the first to stand out:

"Officials, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this time, the 300,000 army led by Deputy Commander Lu is on the border of Xixia. We should take the opportunity to conquer Xixia, and we must not miss the opportunity."

As soon as these words were said, many ministers whispered, thinking that this was indeed a good opportunity.

Zhou Yucheng, the deputy governor, objected:

"Officials, if I send troops to Xixia in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that the Liao army will be directly attracted. At that time, we will fight to death with Xixia, and we will suffer both losses, but we will give Bei Liao an opportunity to take advantage of the fisherman and have to guard against it."

As soon as these words were spoken, they received support from officials of the Prime Minister's Party.

Chen Bowen disagreed:

"The Liao army is thousands of miles away, and our Great Zhou army is on the border, which makes Xingqing Prefecture only four hundred miles away. Whether it is time or place, our country is dominant. The government and the Hetao area occupied by the Xixia are a good place to raise horses."

The Great Zhou lacked horses and was already crazy. Domestic transportation was basically dominated by cattle, donkey and mule.

Even if it is a horse, it is mainly a slow horse and is not suitable for being a war horse. This is also one of the main reasons why the Great Zhou has been suppressed and beaten by the northern nomadic peoples in the military.

As soon as I heard that I could occupy Hetao by occupying Xixia, everyone became interested in it.

Zhao Hongguang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, poured a basin of cold water:

"War is a war, the logistics is fought. The consumption of the 300,000 army has been spent on four million taels of silver in the past month alone. The 300,000 army has to consume more than 500,000 kilograms of food a day. If this continues, if it cannot be won for a few months, I am afraid that the treasury can run away with rats.

Moreover, the drought in the north is severe now, and the disaster relief silver allocated by the Ministry of Revenue has reached 3 million taels, and there are countless disaster relief foods. Can you calculate, can we bear a battle to destroy the country?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone took a deep breath.

This is definitely a cannon, and the gold is 10,000 taels. The foundation of the Great Zhou is not weak, but the redundant officials, soldiers and expenses of the Great Zhou have eaten up all the financial income, and it is thankful that there has not been a deficit all year round.

In the battle to destroy the country in Xixia, and it was not enough to rely on 300,000 troops alone. This increased to 500,000 or 600,000. After a year and a half, Xixia Kingdom was not destroyed, and the Great Zhou side would vomit blood first.

Chen Bowen is quite dissatisfied:

"Mr. Zhao, even if you say you are money when fighting, you have never thought about the benefits of conquering Xixia? From then on, I, the Great Zhou, no longer lack horses, and I no longer have to look at the face of Northern Liao. Besides, the Li family of Xixia was originally a traitor, and everyone was punished!"

"Yes, I'll fight!"

"No, you can't fight!"

Suddenly, the court quarreled again. When Duke Cheng Guo Chai Ziyun saw that Prime Minister Cui did not speak, he also held back and said nothing. He had to decide his position based on the position of the old fox.

At this time, in the harem

Zhou Jingyi, the commander of the Imperial City Department, was reporting some emergency situations to Empress Yang.

Chen Buer thought his actions were unaware of them, but he didn't know that he and Chai Zijin were the key protected people of the Imperial City Department. Their every move was under the close surveillance of the Imperial City Department, the secret agency of the Imperial City Department.

Queen Yang was so shocked that she walked off the throne. The whole house was empty, only this pair of nephews.

"You mean, Chen Buer used the trick of crossing the sky and then secretly sneaked into Xingqing Mansion with Zi Jin and his more than 20 guards?"

"Yes, and they entered Xixia, which was pretending to be a drug dealership in Gushengtang. Our spy saw Mr. Chen appearing in Xingqing Mansion with his own eyes, as if he was selling medicine, and wanted to sell it for a good price."

“When is this time?”

"Returning to the Queen Mother, Mr. Chen and Duke Yi County departed from Qinzhou on December 10th, and arrived at Xingqing Prefecture on December 24th, and the fire that night in Xingqing Prefecture happened on December 28th."

Queen Yang's eyes shining: "You mean..."

Zhou Jingyi's voice was also lightest:

"The same method of committing crimes, same explosions, same fires, and Chen Buer happened to be present. It can now be confirmed that he was the one who committed both arson cases. He either had a mysterious army or had a special weapon."

Queen Yang thought for a long time and asked again: "Are you sure that the emperor and empress dowager of Xixia died in the fire that night?"

"Confirm, that night our spies first heard explosions everywhere in the audience, and then a secret letter explosion came from the palace. The next day, news of the death of the emperor and the empress dowager came from. Xixia said that he had an acute illness."

"It's so scary. It seems that the Chen family was confiscated and the Danei was bombed three times that day. It's still Chen Buer's mercy. If he had bombed like this time in Xixia, his life and my official family might be out of danger that night."

Zhou Jingyi's eyes showed murderous aura:

"Why can you let others sleep soundly when you lie down? Empress, Chen Buer is so dangerous that he can even threaten the imperial power. Should he send troops to him..."

"No, no."

Queen Yang frowned:

"Not to mention whether he can hold him down in one go. What if he annoys him, he also has a fire in Bianliang City? What if his master is really a god and brings revenge on the immortals? It seems that he is at least still defending our Great Zhou.

Otherwise, there is no need for him to risk infiltrate into Xixia and cooperate with our Great Zhou army to eliminate the 200,000 Xixia enemy troops. If it were you, would you dare? So he is still loyal and patriotic in his heart. As long as he doesn't mess with him, he is a harmless person."

Queen Yang was still a little nervous. A person who even the emperor and the queen mother of a country said that they could kill him is so easy to get along with?
