"Why did Guangyi come? Xuan!" Zhao Kuangyin was also a little surprised. It was a coincidence today.

"Officials, I will take a step first and go back to the Privy Council to prepare." Zhao Pu did not want to meet Zhao Guangyi, so he thought about withdrawing first.

"Old Zhao, have a meal together at noon today. It's cold and it's cold. Let's leave after eating!" Zhao Kuangyin thought, it was not appropriate to continue like this, after all, everyone looked up and saw each other.

"Thank you, the official!" Zhao Pugang raised his butt and sat down again. This was considered an imperial meal, and it was also a kind of honor. You should not go too far if you were to die.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi entered the door, he was also a little surprised that Zhao Pu was here. Zhao Guangyi complained about Zhao Pu's resentment, and wasn't it just a concubine, so what?

"Guangyi, sit here, why are you here today?" Zhao Kuangyin asked Lao Mei to move a brocade stool and place it opposite Zhao Pu.

"Officials, I am here to have important military information." Zhao Guangyi finished speaking and looked at Zhao Pu. Before, these news were not suitable for Zhao Pu to listen to here.

Zhao Guangyi's source of information was basically sent by Jing'anshi. If he could go to the palace to report in person, it must be a top secret.

"Military information? As the Privy Councilor, Lao Zhao must also participate in the combat planning later. Listen to it, it's okay." Zhao Kuangyin thrust his face. He just said that he would let Zhao Pu stay, but he would drive him out again. He couldn't do it.

"That's right, Jing'an Secretary has heard news that both the Northern Han and Western Shu have changed." Jing'an Secretary's eyes were spread all over the world, and the Northern Han was the most important one, because the Khitan standing behind the Northern Han was the real fear of the Song Dynasty.

"Abnormal movement?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned. Now the focus is on the southern Chu side. If a war starts in the northwest, it will be a bit stressful for the Song Dynasty.

"According to news, Western Shu and Northern Han were hoarding materials, especially pig iron and grain. The emperor, this is not a good sign." Since ancient times, we have been busy hoarding these things. As long as we have weapons and food, we will continue to organize troops, and it will take as long as we fight.

Western Shu and Northern Han must have had some plans to hoard materials on such a large scale. When I think of what Zhao Chongyan, who surrendered before, said, the collusion between Western Shu and Northern Han may be true.

"I'm waiting for my order to attack Southern Chu. People of the Ghosts and Monsters must teach you a lesson. I'll order Daming Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion to strengthen their vigilance, and in addition, add 30,000 troops to Tongguan." Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and felt that he had to increase his troops in order to ensure stability.

Although the Song Dynasty had strong troops, there were enemies around it, so they had to divide their troops to garrison.

Zhao Pu felt that in this way, the troops around Kaifeng would be very weak. The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were mainly distributed in the north of Daming Prefecture and Jinzhou, with about 300,000, which were guarding against the Khitan and Northern Han. Fengxiang Prefecture and Tongguan were about 100,000, which was considered as guarding against the northwest. If the war in the north was tight, Tongguan could also support Taiyuan Prefecture.

There were more than 100,000 elite imperial guards stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River and maintained a high-pressure situation against the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Now the elite imperial guards led by Murong Yanzhao are originally imperial guards stationed in important places in the capital. There are less than 100,000 imperial guards around Kaifeng Prefecture. If they are transferred, they will be in a shortage.

"There is no abnormal movement in the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Zhao Kuangyin was hesitant now, whether to transfer some of the imperial guards that were threatening the Southern Tang Dynasty to the north to fill the surrounding areas of Kaifeng Prefecture.

"No, according to reliable information, the navy is as usual." Zhao Guangyi shook his head and said to Nan Tang.

, just keep an eye on the movements of their navy.

"Then we will draw 30,000 troops back and stationed in Henan Prefecture." Henan Prefecture is a barrier to the west of Kaifeng Prefecture. When the Northern Han came over, he had to pass here. As long as Henan Prefecture was as stable as Mount Tai, no one dared to cross it and send troops to Kaifeng Prefecture.

......

Zhao Pu was slightly drunk and turned down the invitation from Zhao Guangyi to ride together and got on his own carriage. Although the imperial meal tasted good, Zhao Pu did not have the appetite. As long as he saw Zhao Guangyi's face, he felt disgusted and could only drink more and talk less.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, the main garrison was the 100,000 imperial guards of commanders Cao Bin and Pan Mei. 30,000 were transferred this time. If Southern Tang knew about it, what would it be?

Zhao Pu felt that this news should be passed on to make things difficult for the Zhao brothers.

"Go to Yuqing Pavilion!" Zhao Pu did what he thought of and ordered the coachman that this news could be easily sent to the south through the current Yuqing Pavilion channel.

If the Southern Chu, Western Shu, Northern Han, and Southern Tang attacked at the same time, there should be a good show in the Song Dynasty.

"Go and find Zhao Chongyan!" Zhao Guangyi returned home. It was time to move the chess piece he had prepared for a long time. Zhao Chongyan had enough knowledge of the Shu army and operated it. He could make a fortune by making a place among the imperial guards who went to Tongguan to support him.

In Quanzhou City, Sun Yu has been doing well recently and has been doing well. The debt has been basically handled well, except for long-term bonds that only pay interest.

In addition to the large output of copper mines, I also made a lot of money by selling materials to Nanchu. When the navy returned from Japan, I should be able to gain more wealth.

The military pay for each regiment under his command was also paid in full, and the expansion was accelerated again. All new recruits immediately added to each regiment and continued to recruit 50,000 new recruits to participate in training to prepare for the upcoming battle.

As for hijacking the Taifu and his party, Yang Qifeng just sent someone to do this job. The escort team was originally soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army. If they cooperated with each other, no one could see any flaws.

"Master, Mrs. Juyao sent someone to send you a message and let you go." Xiao Huan walked into the yard and said, not knowing what big thing was, so he insisted on letting Sun Yu go there in person.

"Oh, I got it, where is Qing'er?" Sun Yu got up from the recliner. He seemed to have enjoyed it too much recently and didn't want to get up.

"Sister Qing'er is teaching Miss Rou to play the piano." Today is the day of rest in the academy. Sun Rou was forced to learn the piano by Ye Xiaoniang. Ye Xiaoniang was standing at the door of Qingmeiyuan with a feather duster, otherwise Sun Rou would not be able to sit still.

"Then I'll go out first and I won't come back for lunch." The sun was already quite high now. When I arrived at the headquarters of Jianzhou Commercial Bank, it was almost noon, so I just stayed there to have a meal with Ju Yao.

In Quanzhou City, it was safe enough that only the evil dogs followed on both sides of the carriage with six guards.

Ju Yao asked her personal maid Xiaohan to stand at the door and wait. Seeing the frame of the Duke's Mansion, Xiaohan trotted over to greet her.

"Where is the madam?" Sun Yu asked as soon as he got off the carriage. It was the first time that Ju Yao asked herself to come over, and she didn't know what was going on.

"Where is inside, the master follows me!" Xiaohan quickly led the way.

"What happened? I'm so anxious?" Sun Yu asked as he walked.

"I don't know!" Xiao Han shook

Shaking her head, she was able to stay by Ju Yao forever because she knew the right way, did not ask around, and did not talk much.

"Mr. Wei, this is my husband. If you have something to say, you can tell him directly." Ju Yao saw Sun Yu coming over, got up from the seat, and introduced to the man in front.

This man was the shopkeeper of Yu Qingge, and Wei Wanshi, the wife of Zhao Pu, the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty.

Wei Wanshi's trip was of course nominally purchasing goods, but there was another task in secret, which was to leak some news to Sun Yu.

Although Zhao Pu was determined to take revenge, he was very careful in his actions. Everything was just dictated to Wei Wanshi. Similarly, Wei Wanshi would only dictate to Sun Yu without leaving any handle.

"We are here to see Duke of Min!" Wei Wanshi quickly stood up and turned to salute Sun Yu.

"Oh, you are Mr. Wei. I heard Ju Yao mention you. Is there any important thing to come here?" Sun Yu could tell from Ju Yao's eyes that he was called here for this person.

"First, to purchase goods, I have communicated with my wife properly. Secondly, there are some things that I want to tell you personally to know about the Duke." Wei Wanshi looked around. This person was too talkative and inconvenient.

"You guys talk, Xiaohan, follow me upstairs, and everyone else will go to the backyard to have a rest first." Ju Yao took Xiaohan directly to the stairs. She was not interested in things outside of business, nor did she want to be distracted from dealing with them.

Sun Yu looked at him and the evil dog directly led people to block all the entrances and exits of the entire lobby. In the entire lobby, there were only Sun Yu and Wei Wanshi.

"Dude, are you not afraid, is this a trap?" Wei Wanshi was a little surprised that Sun Yu actually trusted him so much.

"I'm not afraid of anyone alone." Sun Yu put the Tianshu Sword on the table. With his current keen six senses, he could even hear Wei Wanshi's heartbeat, and he could not hide any movement from him.

"The Duke of the State is so bold. At present, the Song Dynasty is preparing to launch troops against Nan Chu." Wei Wanshi threw out some real information, wanting to see Sun Yu's reaction.

"I had expected it long ago." Sun Yu guessed correctly. Wei Wanshi really had information, no wonder he had to listen to it alone.

Although this information is of no value, he believes that there must be more explosive news later.

"Western Shu is ready to move." As Zhao Pu said, Sun Yu guessed the war in Nan Chu, so he released more confidential news.

"Take it seriously?" Sun Yu sat upright when he heard this, which was related to his plan.

"Of course, not only that, there was also movement in the Northern Han Dynasty. Both sides were hoarding weapons, food and grass. If there were no accidents, they would definitely take advantage of the chaos." Wei Wanshi saw Sun Yu's expression and knew that the news was worth enough, so he also had the capital for negotiation.

"There are even Northern Han?" Sun Yu's heart was filled with storms, which was different from what he remembered. If it were just a Southern Chu, the Song Dynasty would have the possibility of fighting on both sides, looking for an opportunity to cross the river when they conquered Nanyue.

However, if the northwest is unstable, the Song Dynasty will definitely not dare to move lightly. If you are not careful, there will be a risk of losing the whole market.

"There is another news on Wei, but it cannot be given to the Duke of the State for free." Wei Wanshi knew that he had successfully aroused Sun Yu's appetite and could offer a price.
