Li Yan added: "The recruits from the Jiangnan area can be transferred back to Beijing one after another. It will not take too long to control the floods. Yizhou and Jiaozhou can already go north, and then they will be recruited into the Gyeonggi army, so there is no need to worry."
The prince glanced at Zhao Chao and nodded in agreement: "The third brother can reorganize these troops into the Gyeonggi Army. If there is any change in the frontier, troops will be stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River."
"The key to this battle is to fight fast." Li Zai said, "As long as General Nie and General Lan can drive all the Hu people out of the fortress before the winter begins, they will be safe and sound. Make peace talks with Wuhu again."
Nie Dan was speechless for a while, and the Minister of War said, "Or does General Nie have a better way?"
Nie Dan had no choice but to say, "Not in front of me."
Zhao Chao pondered for a while, then said, "Father, my son has a plan."
However, Zhao Mao opened his eyes and said, "Chao'er doesn't need to say any more, just do it. Huang'er coordinates household and military affairs, and Chao'er takes over the transfer of the Royal Forest Army and the Gyeonggi Army Commander. The two of you must cooperate well."
Zhao Chao frowned slightly, but Zhao Mao didn't allow him to say more, and ordered: "Let's all step back, and bring the Zhezi up in the early morning tomorrow. Tonight, Nie Dan and Lan Hong will go to mobilize the troops. I will do my best for the two generals."
The ministers resigned one after another, but the Crown Prince motioned You Miao to wait in the imperial study with his eyes, not to follow.
After everyone was gone, the crown prince said, "Father."
Zhao Mao closed his eyes, but said, "You too, go down and rest early."
The prince was startled, and then he had to say, "My son retire."
You Miao knew that the prince and Zhao Chao had something to say, but Zhao Mao did not allow them to say more. The prince left the imperial study, and was silent for a moment. Li Yan was waiting under the corridor, bowing slightly.
Zhao Chao and Nie Dan were talking on the other side of the garden. When they saw the prince and others coming, they did not avoid them. The prince walked over and said, "Third brother."
"Big brother." Zhao Chao nodded, and the prince said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Chao nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "I'm asking for someone from my eldest brother. The Ministry of War is so complicated, I'm really too busy, can you lend me You Ziqian for a month?"
The prince laughed, looked at You Miao, You Miao froze in his heart, I don't know what Zhao Chao was thinking, but he dared to ask for someone in front of the prince, hesitating a little. The prince asked: "You Ziqian, are you going? You can go if you want. Anyway, these days, the appointment document has not come down. Li Yan will assist me in adjusting the household department and the military department. You are willing to stay with me, or change. Li Yan is going to help the third brother? When you come to the palace, you can also communicate with each other."
As soon as Zhao Chao heard this, he said, "Of course I can."
You Miao glanced at Li Yan and said knowingly, "Your Highness has a life, don't you dare not obey."
Zhao Chao nodded and waved, You Miao walked over, and the prince smiled again: "Third brother, this time we must win the battle."
Zhao Chao smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother."
The two brothers separated, Zhao Chao just turned around, his face darkened, and You Miao walked out of the garden outside the study, the carriage was ready in the palace, Zhao Chao ordered: "Go back to the house." The two got on the carriage.
On the Mid-autumn night, the bright moon was round and round, and You Miao felt very tired dealing with these people. All of them talk around the corners, with words in their words, and let out a tired sigh.
"Have you been drinking?" Zhao Chao asked: "It's okay, the heat stroke just happened a few days ago, I'm afraid you'll be bored in the imperial study."
You Miao shook her head and said, "Prince is easy to talk and will lend me to you."
Zhao Chao said: "You think he is really helping me, can you not say what he wants to ask you?"
When You Miao thought about it, the prince was not a vegetarian either. Most of the time, he felt that he was going to Li Yan, and Li Yan didn't know what he said in front of the prince. Now he made a temporary plan and placed himself beside Zhao Chao. This method... Zhao Chao didn't wait for him to mention it, and simply asked You Miao over himself.
You Miao said: "I found that I can't see through your big brother a little."
Zhao Chao said: "Now is not the time to play tricks with him. Since you have come here, let's keep the same and do everything we need to do. When the emperor asks him about it in the future, you can take a photo. Actually it is."
The carriage was swaying, and You Miao was still a little empty, so he lay beside the car window, watching the colorful streets and bustling pedestrians on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.
Zhao Chao brought You Miao back to the mansion. The mansion was full of generals, sitting in a row, waiting for Zhao Chao to return.
"Three Highnesses!"
"Three Highnesses..."
Tang Hui nodded and greeted You Miao when he saw You Miao, You Miao knew that he had nothing to do at this time, and most likely Zhao Chao would not let him go tonight, so he went out to find a servant, and ordered: "You go to the country. Zixue goes to the secluded courtyard, enters through the back door, finds a man named Cheng Guangwu, asks him to bring some food and tea, and then he will do his bidding."
The family members went, Zhao Chao was in the hall talking with the generals, all about the frontier. You Miao took his map and looked at several of them, all of which were sheepskin maps from the frontier to the Central Plains. The distribution of mountains and rivers, and even where there are forests, plains, hills, and valleys, are marked out one by one.
You Miao watched and listened, Zhao Chao relayed the emperor's arrangement, and the generals were depressed.
"The Jiangnan expedition is all recruits, how to fight?" said a military officer.
Another said: "In case Nie Dan and Lan Hong's team is not strong enough, they can only be recruited from Gyeonggi. Once these recruits enter the battlefield, they will inevitably have to..."
The military officer stopped the conversation, and everyone was silent, but Zhao Chao didn't care, and said, "I'll make another quiz tomorrow morning."
"It really doesn't work." One person said, "It's up to the ministers to ask their fate!"
Zhao Chao immediately said: "No, no, Big Brother Nie won't necessarily be held back, let's see. If the situation is not right, I will call you again, and you will all go back and prepare. Tonight, I am afraid that you will not be able to live in peace, so go home first and follow The wife and children said that there will be people from the Ministry of War at home in the evening, and the army will be reorganized at dawn tomorrow."
The generals surrendered one after another, and the hall fell silent again.
You Miao sat at the desk, turned over all the maps, and said, "Have you been making these preparations for the past few years?"
Zhao Chaoman didn't care and said: "I don't think I will stay in the capital for the rest of my life. One day, I will lead troops to expedition, and I will be ashamed."
You Miao asked again, "You were in the imperial study just now, did you want to invite Ying to lead the troops?"
Zhao Chao looked at You Miao without speaking, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning, and finally nodded his head.
"But the emperor will not let me go on the expedition." Zhao Chao said: "I want to lead the troops to meet the Hu people who are attacking the northwest pass. Liangxi is all plain terrain, my soldiers are suitable for plain battles, and the Hu people can't fight guerrillas, but unfortunately he still No, did you say those things to him today?"
You Miao nodded and said, "I think he should also be touched."
Zhao Chao sighed and said, "Besides, I also think he treats me better today. Normally, he wouldn't let me enter the imperial study to hear about these things."
You Miao didn't expect Zhao Chao to be so unloved. He wanted to find a few words to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, Zhao Chao seemed to remember something and said, "Did your teacher teach you to write essays?"
"Yes." You Miao was refreshed and smiled, "What do you want to write? I'll come."
Zhao Chao took You Miao to the study and said, "No hurry, let's sort out these things first."
