Fang Yinguang frowned, "Your Highness's words are indeed reasonable, but they are just an assumption."

"Even if Di Rong didn't make a comeback this year, what about next year and the next year, will Lord Fang be entrusted to the unpredictable time?" Heng Yu's speech was obviously very gentle, but others heard a little aggressive from it.

The Imperial Study Room fell silent for a moment.

In fact, the most important contradiction between the two sides is the main battle and the main harmony.

Shangshu Fang’s considerations are indeed reasonable, and King Jin’s words are irrefutable.

The ministers of the cabinet were basically staunch supporters of Confucianism and advocated the "benevolence" of scholars and officials. Compared to war, they were more inclined to withdraw the army. Fang Yinguang's words were not so much his own ideas, but rather the will of all his lords and sects.

Compared with the pro-war faction like Hengyu, the lord is the mainstream of the court. At this point, Jiayan Pass has been taken back. Such achievements are worthy of historical books, so what else can I not satisfy?

So the Lord and the Peace Sect felt that at this time, they could already withdraw their troops.

But Heng Yu is not satisfied.

All he had always thought of was to completely break up Di Rong and then incorporate the entire fertile and boundless grassland occupied by Di Rong into the Qing Dynasty's territory. Not only was he satisfied with regaining lost territory, he also had to take advantage of such a great opportunity to establish a foundation for future generations.

Pei Hengyong did not express his attitude, but the cabinet knew that he was standing on the side of King Jin, otherwise the King of Jin in the Imperial Study Room would not have appeared here this time.

The two sides finally parted in disagreement.

Heng Yu, who was in a royal title but had been to the early court in the future, appeared in the Golden Palace for the first time the next day.

He stood opposite Fang Yinguang, looking at each other at a distance not far away.

Fang Yinguang's expression was calm, and Heng Yu responded with a smile.

At the court meeting, the news of the victory was officially announced. Although this news had spread throughout the imperial capital as early as yesterday, it still caused many officials to whisper in a low voice.

Pei Hengyong and other officials below gradually calmed down and raised the issue that they wanted to discuss today, "What do you think the court should deal with the next step?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there are 100,000 soldiers on the border, and there are countless food and supplies to consume every day. I think the court should withdraw the troops as soon as possible." The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue stood up first.

Subsequently, officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel basically leaned over and agreed.

Fang Yinguang swept to Hengyu, but found that the other party was still calm and composed.

Even Your Majesty could not act on his own when his ministers insisted on his lordship. His methods had been shown, so what was the King of Jin's backup plan?

The answer is the noisy sound coming from outside the Golden Palace.

"Who dares to make noise outside the Golden Palace?" The eunuch general took a step forward and asked with a raised voice.

The Jinwu Guard, who was guarding outside the Golden Palace, hurried in, and a soldier wearing light armor and a windy and frosty face followed him.

"Report to Your Majesty, this soldier who came back from Jiayan Pass. He has a war report that he had just been sent back." Jinwu Guard bowed and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier had knelt on the ground, took out the hot-clad note in his arms, and raised it high above his head, "Report to Your Majesty, this is the battle report that General Xie asked his subordinates to whip back quickly."

Fang Yinguang's pupils shrank slightly. He turned his head and saw the smile flashing across His Highness King Jin's face.

Coincidentally? Or is that the battle report was the backing of His Highness King Jin.

The eunuch general walked down the steps, took over the battle report from the soldiers, and carefully handed it to Pei Hengyong.

Pei Hengyong took out the well-sealed envelope, took out the note inside, and quickly read the contents on the note.

"Okay." He cheered loudly, his eyes fell on Heng Yu, then looked away, and looked down at his ministers and said, "The war report came from Jiayan Pass. A note in front of them was sent away from Jiayan Pass. Shortly after the Dirong soldiers gathered their troops and wanted to retake Jiayan Pass. In the end, General Xie Nian used the trick and fought deep into the Dirong grassland. Now the situation is very good. Then Jiayan Pass quickly sent the war report, asking the court to allocate more food and grass, so that the army could continue to penetrate into Dirong in one go, and they were completely afraid of them."

Fang Yinguang's heart thumped and he instantly knew Heng Yu's work.

The time between these two letters was so close that Fang Yinguang would never believe that it would be such a coincidence. I am afraid that His Majesty and the King of Jin had already discussed it. After regaining Jiayan Pass, Xie Nian did not send the letter of military achievements back to the imperial capital as soon as possible, but instead suppressed the first letter. After Xie Nian went deep into the grassland to achieve results, he sent the two letters back to the imperial capital.

Why did the battle report be delivered one after another? Of course, the King of Jin wanted the Lord and the Sect to present their own methods first, and then the second battle report was delivered at this time. The careful concerns of the Lord and the Sect instantly became a joke, and the War Party could stand up when the situation was good.

In this case, it is natural to continue fighting.

So bold!

Fang Yinguang glanced at Heng Yu, feeling a little shocked at the other party's boldness and a little admiring his decisiveness.

There are talented people in the world.

After a moment of silence under the court, Pei Hengyong gave everyone enough time to ease up.

After a while, he smiled and asked, "My dear friends, come and discuss the following follow-up matters."

Many people's eyes fell on Fang Yinguang. Fang Yinguang stood straight at the front of the civil officials line, and never stood up to speak.

Things are a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to say more.

A morning passed and the court meeting ended. Heng Yu followed the court officials out of the Golden Palace and was shook by the straight sun.

He raised his hand to cover it in front of him, and glanced at the sight of his eyes, and Fang Yinguang happened to walk to him.

The two nodded to each other and left in different directions.

Outside Jiayan Pass.

Xie Nian sat on a protruding big stone, and as he penetrated the grassland, all the cavalrymen dismounted and rested. The simple camp had already raised smoke from cooking fires, but on this wide and boundless grassland, no one could see clearly the smoke from the smoke a little farther apart.

"General, when will the support of the imperial court come?" Military advisor Wen Jin came over with a bowl of water, handed the water in his hand to Xie Nian, and stood aside and asked softly.

He was Xie Nian's confidant, so he naturally knew how risky Xie Nian's actions were now going deep into the grassland.

Now they have just entered a little deeper part of it, and it is not difficult to quit. After a few days, they have penetrated into the hinterland of the grassland. It is not that easy to quit at that time.

If the support from the imperial court came too late, their surprise might turn into an isolated soldier and be trapped in the grassland.

"It's almost done. If there is no change, it will be available in at most five days." Xie Nian drank all the water in the bowl in one gulp. He put the empty bowl aside, wiped his mouth casually, and said.

Wen Jin opened his mouth, but hesitated a little.

At this time, his words were really a matter of shaking the morale of the army.

Xie Nian glanced at Wen Jin and suddenly burst into laughter. He patted Wen Jin on the shoulder, "A Jin, you are almost the same age as me, why can't you just be more straightforward?"

Wen Jin heard that Xie Nian was not called by military rank, but was called by their personal relationship, and he was also relieved a lot. He was not as concerned as before when he spoke, "Why just do such a dangerous thing?"

"Don't worry." Xie Nian supported her hand and jumped off the boulder, "That highness, he is very tough."

"Why do you trust that highness so much?" Wen Jin had never contacted His Highness King Jin, so he didn't know how Xie Nian, who had always been cautious and thoughtful, trusted so much in that Hei Nian.

"Because that Your Highness still has complete plans until now." Every move of Di Rong's army he calculated was correct, and Xie Nian was able to go deep into the grassland to achieve great victory because he relied on the calculations of His Highness.

On this side, Xie Nian has such great trust in Hengyu, but the current situation in the imperial capital is really not very good.

Flood disaster in Jiangnan!

When the news reached the imperial capital, it caught everyone off guard.

Just when the court was about to devote all its strength to the grassland to attack Di Rong, such a great disaster occurred behind the court.

After Zhao Song counted the remaining money and grains of the Ministry of Revenue, his face suddenly looked ugly.

Moreover, there is a high possibility of plague after the flood. After counting the expenses of medicinal materials, Zhao Song couldn't sit still.

but……

“Can’t retreat.”

Still in the Imperial Study Room, there were still those people. Heng Yu looked directly at Zhao Song and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, do you want to ignore Jiangnan?" Zhao Song's attitude was also tough.

"The crisis in Jiangnan must be resolved, and Di Rong must also be fought." Heng Yu showed no sign of letting go. "You can't leave Di Rong a chance to breathe. Such a nomadic regime, as long as he is given a chance to lie dormant, will become a major concern for the Qing Dynasty in a few years."

After a pause, Heng Yu added, "I will donate all the savings from the King of Jin's Mansion to the court, and at the same time I will also think of some ideas to make money to solve the military expenditure."

"But has your highness considered the pressure of public opinion?" Zhao Song asked him.

If used by those who are interested, there may be news that the court only cares about military and military affairs, regardless of the lives and death of the people in Jiangnan.

"I know."

Heng Yu slowly curled his lips and smiled, "I will sit in Jiangnan myself."
