"Your Majesty, do you want to fight in Hunan?"

Zhao Pu asked directly.

"No, I don't want to fight Hunan!" Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly, his dark face glowing, and said contemptuously: "Although the puppet country is invincible, it is nothing more than Nanping and Hunan being weak. The people in the two places are less than half of those in Jiangnan.

It’s useless to seize it! There’s not much money or food left!”

"It's just because of the favorable location, just go down the river and go straight to Jinling!"

"What's more, our soldiers in the Central Plains are not good at water warfare, they don't have many ships, and they are not accustomed to the customs of the south. If we capture Jiangling and Hunan, we won't be able to hold it, and they will recapture it sooner or later. Why bother?"

When Zhao Pu heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and a smile appeared on his face. He followed him and took two steps, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is so clear-sighted that I admire you!"

"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed, pointed at Zhao Pu and said: "Zizhi, you are really a rare compliment, and we feel much better!"

"However, if my prediction is correct, you don't want me to fight in Jiangling!"

"What your Majesty said is true. What I think is the same as what your Majesty thinks!" Zhao Pu said confidently and contemptuously: "The southern army is weak (Qi Jiajun has something to say). No matter how many and powerful they are, how can they be defeated by what they have seen and heard in the world?"

Get through the Central Plains!"

"Furthermore, the literati in the south are vulgar, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren. It is not as good as the Central Plains."

"When the Song Dynasty was first established, it was important to stabilize ourselves. Now that the country is in ruins, if we think about national war again, our country must think carefully about it!"

"Bashu?" Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.

"Yes, it's Bashu!" Zhao Pu smiled faintly and said enthusiastically: "Hunan is a miasmatic place, Lingnan is remote, and my husband died young. How can I compare to Bashu, which is worthy of being a king?"

"The Meng family has been ruling Shu for decades. The products are abundant in Fu, and the household registration is millions. I heard that its treasury has been full for many years, and there are many rats. In my opinion, the country of Shu can reach the entire south of the Yangtze River!"

"With the wealth of Shu, we can fill the national treasury, then go down the river, sweep across the south, and dominate the world!"

"You and I see the same thing!" Zhao Kuangyin said with a big belly: "The imperial court has plenty of troops, but the treasury is poor. If we have the wealth of Shu, we can unify the world quickly! So next year, the number one Zhang will be

I decided to stay in the Kingdom of Shu and eat at the hands of the enemy. I heard that the toilet bowls of the Lord of Shu are all inlaid with jewels. I wonder if this is true or not?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu said excitedly: "The Lord of Shu is extravagant and extravagant, which is the sound of the country's subjugation. Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty. This is God's will for the Song Dynasty. We will surely defeat Shu in one battle."

"God's will? God's will!" Zhao Kuangyin looked at the clear sky and the huge sun, and couldn't help but laugh, very happily.

It is better to be a scholar and know the will of God. Those warriors are all arrogant and domineering. They only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. The one with strong soldiers and horses will be the king. What a terrible sentence, which completely breaks the tradition. It is not advisable, absolutely not advisable.

After seizing the land of Shu, we will strive to complete the great task of unifying the world within ten years. Guo Rong, your lifelong goal will be realized by me.

Thinking of Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt guilty. He also thought of several of Guo Rong's sons, especially his successor Guo Zongxun. Although he was young, he was extremely terrifying.

Not now. If you act too hastily, it will be counterproductive. Let’s talk about it some time later, and some time later…

…………

The Forbidden Army is stationed outside the city of Guangzhou. Unless they have a holiday, they are usually locked in the barracks and drilled seriously without rest.

The 20,000 to 30,000 imperial troops were divided into three large camps. Among them, the left and right giant elephant troops formed their own camp, with several hundred elephants. Their bodies were huge and they really needed a bigger place.

In fact, the emperor has always wanted to dismantle the giant elephant army. This thing is strong on the outside and capable on the inside. Only those barbarians who don't read history books can work. As long as they read a little bit of books, they can defeat these behemoths. It seems really useless.

However, these hundreds of elephants cannot be abandoned easily! If they enter the mountains and forests, I don’t know how many farmlands and villages will be destroyed, and how many people will die.

So, just keep it as it is, and it would be good to scare those barbarians.

In fact, Li Jia also wanted these elephants to be used as heavy troops to transport goods. Although these giant animals eat a lot, they also transport a lot.

And in the south, such a behemoth is very suitable for digging mountains and paving roads, and thorn bushes are too easy for elephants.

I'm going too far. Anyway, Li Jia moved the capital to Changsha this time, and these elephants were used to carry heavy troops and transport goods.

The rest of the Forbidden Army is divided into two military camps, located outside the east and west gates of Guangzhou City. They are only three miles away from Guangzhou City. The Guangzhou Guards are still conducting screening.

"Bah, if I want to go to Changsha, it will cost me three hundred dollars more!"

Outside the canteen of the military camp, smoke was already rising from the supply camp, and most of the meals were already prepared. Eating is the most important thing in the military camp and does not need to be rushed.

A tall and thick soldier, holding his big pottery bowl, said loudly: "With these three hundred dollars, I can go to the city to find the most handsome young lady and fight for three hundred rounds! What a pleasure!"

"Hey, I don't want to go to Changsha. That's the north, and northerners have no brains!" his companion shook his head and said.

"You kid, do you want to beat me?"

"Bah, I'll kill you!"

Among the Forbidden Army, there are very few pure Lingnan people, and most of them will be screened out just because of their height requirements. Therefore, there are many Forbidden Army members who are originally from the north and consider themselves northerners.

"Huh?" At this time, a military policeman wearing a yellow silk ribbon passed by, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"If you go north to Changsha, you have to fight, with the Central Plains and with other countries. How can you stay in Lingnan and be comfortable? Although the money is not much, you can live in peace!" said the companion in a low voice.

"We don't care about peace and quiet. We just want money and women. It would be better if we can fight in wars, get rewards and land, and if we become a lord, that would be even better!" the big man said in a loud voice,

He patted his chest, his eyes full of expectation.

The other bachelors nodded again and again. Their desire for military exploits defeated their expectations for a stable life, and they were still comfortable with copper coins and military exploits.

"Next-" As he spoke, the cook's shout came from ahead.

"Why does it smell so good?" The big man sniffed his nose and asked loudly.

"Yes, it's very fragrant. The dishes are still the same, but more fragrant!" Others also nodded, full of doubts.

"Hey, you are in luck!" The cook is not afraid of these Forbidden Army. He is from the supply camp and is also a member of the Forbidden Army. He said: "Although these dishes are still the same as before, they have been fried with soybean oil and are very fragrant.

Very delicious!”

"Give me a taste!" The big man stretched out his basin-sized pottery.

"Okay, add more rice, add more!" After adding a dozen spoonfuls of rice, the big man nodded with satisfaction and said, "These rice just make me full!"

Holding the pottery jar, the big man ate happily.
Chapter completed!
