Lu Chensheng summoned the other party to enter the door.

"How many troops can we mobilize now?"

Lu Chensheng didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

"Returning to your lord's words, we now have a total of 20 troops, of which 12 are in charge of various places, and are called by the prefects and county magistrates in various places. There are [-] troops that can send troops."

Cheng Xue immediately responded when she heard the words.

Eighty thousand troops, these troops are all scattered in various cities.

This is to deter some young people, and as an emergency defense force.

Although there are yamen servants in the yamen, the combat effectiveness of these yamen servants is not very strong.

It's enough to deal with some street hooligans, but it's not enough to deal with some big things, so these troops are still needed.

The remaining 12 is more than enough.

Lu Chensheng calculated carefully, then nodded again, feeling that 12 is enough.

"Let these armies train a little more, and there may be wars."

Lu Chensheng ordered.

fighting?

Cheng Xue was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "What kind of war is it?"

The Tartars were severely injured by the beating. After a while, they should not start a war against them anymore. The Jurchen side has a little strength.

But when she led the troops before, those Jurchens were scared away when they saw her, which made Chengxue feel that it was impossible.

Seeing her, those Jurchens all looked terrified, so how could they come to attack them?

But judging by the appearance of adults, it shouldn't look like he will go to destroy the Jurchens, right?

From top to bottom of the imperial court, the top priority now seems to be seeking development, and they will not easily start a war.

"Naturally, it is inherited from Zhou Kingdom, where else can it be?"

Without waiting for Chengxue to think about it, Lu Chensheng told her the answer directly.

If the state of Zhou is in chaos, Xinghan City will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman at that time.

Lu Chensheng was afraid that he would become fat in one go because the large territory he had taken had not been settled properly, so he slowed down his offensive.

But now that Cheng Zhou's country is not peaceful, maybe Lu Chensheng can take this opportunity to directly complete the unification.

If possible, Lu Chensheng would naturally not miss this opportunity.

Chapter 648 Tea

If the Chengzhou Kingdom is in chaos, Lu Chensheng can spend less effort and directly bring down the Chengzhou Kingdom.

It was a pity that Lu Chensheng didn't take Cheng Zhou Guo back then, but now he can make up for it.

When Cheng Xue heard this, she immediately regained her spirits. Compared with Lu Chensheng, she cared more about this matter.

At the beginning, I wanted to take down all three countries in one go, but due to the strength of the troops, and the fact that there were too many cities just taken, there were not even a single official.

So this plan was cancelled.

But now, their strength is many times greater, and it would be no problem to win the Chengzhou Kingdom.

She was originally a general of the Chengzhou Kingdom, and she was very familiar with the Chengzhou Kingdom. In her opinion, it was more than enough to take down the Chengzhou Kingdom with 12 troops.

"The last general takes orders."

Cheng Xue responded.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "You are in charge of troop deployment. Bring troops to the border without letting people notice."

"My lord, the deployment of troops is not a problem. It's just that the food and supplies are easy for people to notice."

Cheng Xue said something with some difficulty.

If you march at night and don't enter the city, you can still avoid being noticed.

It's just that with such a huge team of food and grass, it would be a little inconvenient if the baggage was added, and it would not be so easy to keep people from noticing.

"The food and supplies are allocated from Xinghan City, and it is difficult for people to detect that there are ships carrying them."

Lu Chensheng replied after hearing the words.

It is very appropriate to allocate grain and grass transportation from Xing Seoul City, and basically it will not be noticed.

After all, ships are coming and going in Star Seoul right now, carrying a lot of goods. When adding transportation, they can directly bring grain and grass to the shipyard, making it even more difficult to be discovered.

Hearing this, Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

If you can't help worrying about food and grass, then things will be much simpler.

Thinking of this, Chengxue immediately cupped her fists, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

"Is your husband going to attack Cheng Zhou?"

Bai Yi also got up at this moment, walked aside and asked softly.

Lu Chensheng raised his head, saw his wife beside him, and nodded slightly.

"Yeah, it's time to complete the unification, but my husband has been waiting for this day for a long time."

Lu Chensheng replied.

Bai Yi didn't understand, but hearing that her husband was going to take action against Cheng Zhou Guo, she still felt a little strange in her heart.

Lu Chensheng also saw it, and said, "Let Chengxue go to lead the troops this time, and the lady should not go."

Bai Yi used to be a general of the Chengzhou Kingdom, so it was not good for her to take him to fight the Chengzhou Kingdom.

Although Cheng Xue is also a general of Cheng Zhou Kingdom, but relatively speaking, it will be better.

After hearing the words, Bai Yi thought for a while and agreed.

With Chengxue's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to take down Cheng Zhou.

Right now their forces are at the forefront, and Cheng Zhou is far from being an opponent.

The gap here covers the gap in soldiers and equipment, so Bai Yi is quite at ease.

"But this time, I'm afraid the household department will have a headache again."

Bai Yihu pursed his lips and smiled, the household department didn't have much money, and now they started to fight again, and this war was burning money.

Originally, there was not much money in the household department, and there were various requests for money and allocations in various places.

Now that another big spender is coming, it's no wonder the household department is happy.

"The matter of money and food, let them worry about it themselves."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng returned indifferently.

Don't let the other party feel the financial difficulties and think that the money is blown by the wind.

Lu Chensheng is confident that the financial difficulties are only temporary, and he will never worry about money in the future.

Therefore, in Lu Chensheng's view, the other party should also feel more. At this time when there is no money, otherwise the other party will not have such a feeling in the future.

Bai Yi didn't know what her husband was thinking, but seeing that her husband didn't pay much attention to this matter, she knew that this matter should not be difficult for her husband.

Lu Chensheng and Bai Yizheng were chatting, a house in the distance opened with a creak, and Linyu walked out with small steps.

Seeing Qiong Yue and Bai Yi who had already woken up, her pretty face blushed slightly, her eyes were full of shyness.

Qiong Yue glanced at Lin Yu, and stopped in one place, they were all from here, she was quite clear about Lin Yu's current state.

She also looked carefully just now, although Lin Yu tried her best to cover it up, Liu Mei couldn't help but twitch when she was walking around.

Lin Yu noticed this look, and felt a shyness in her heart.

In her opinion, this was too embarrassing.

Lin Yu beckons for Xiao He, and Xiao He has served hot tea in her hands, which is what she wants to offer to Qiong Yue and her daughters on the first day of their wedding.

Seeing Linyu approaching, Qiongyue directly supported her to sit down with one hand, "There is no need to offer tea, since we are all sisters, you don't need to be so polite."

Qiong Yue didn't really care about this kind of thing, and she wasn't prepared to give the other party a blow.

Her temperament is calm, and after she was promoted to the realm of the master, her realm developed towards a calm and waveless direction.

As for Bai Yimao, who was mixed in the army, he was quite proud and careless in dealing with things, so he didn't care much about some rules.

Looking at it now, he nodded in line.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, she used to feel that the two girls got along very well, but now she is still a bit uneasy after getting married, but now she can feel at ease after seeing her.

"But the rules cannot be broken"

Lin Yu is still somewhat difficult.

In any case, the necessary rules are still necessary.

Hearing this, Qiong Yue asked Xiao He to come to him, took a sip of the tea from the plate.

"Okay, let's finish the tea now."

Seeing this scene, Bai Yi took another cup of tea in a dignified manner, took a sip from her small mouth, and signaled that she drank it too.

Seeing this, Lin Yu felt a little warm in his heart, and asked Xiao He to take down the plate.

There will be more rules this year, and it will be no big deal in the future.

Lu Chensheng watched from the side, and saw that the girls were all enjoying themselves, and he was relieved immediately.

Lu Chensheng knew in his heart that although Qiong Yue and Bai Yi had a higher tolerance, they were women after all, so they would still be jealous.

But looking at it now, he can still rest assured about the relationship between the three women.

Don't let Lu Chensheng worry about it.

Xiaohe is also very happy now, she is going to ask, when they were in Taohuawu a few days ago, why did Chu Wu and Xiaoyu take turns to bathe the young master, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Xiao He has not forgotten this matter, she always remembers it.

Chapter 649 Apparition

Cheng Zhou.

It's not very peaceful recently, Emperor Yunmo is going to celebrate his birthday.

Logically speaking, the vassal kings from all over the country should go to the imperial capital to celebrate.

It's just that in the past few years, there have been more and more differences between the vassal kings and the court, and the smell of gunpowder has become more and more serious.

The previous Tweeting Order made these vassals understand that if they don't want to push down this dynasty, then their fiefdom and title will disappear in the future.

Apart from the matter of the vassal kings, the other is the taxation of various places.

Officials from all over the country are now starting to collect taxes. Naturally, this tax collection is to give the emperor a luxurious birthday.

Originally, the Ministry of Households requested that one hundred copper coins be collected from each household.

It's just that the news came to the cities of various places, and the magistrate asked each household to collect one hundred and five copper coins.

When the prefect goes down, two hundred copper coins will be collected.

Naturally, the common people don't know how much tax the court will collect, they only know that when they get to their side, some have to pay 200, and some have to pay more than [-].

In some places, each household is even required to pay three hundred.

Three hundred copper coins!

This is enough tax to make countless people stomp their feet and curse.

Because of this, the situation in Chengzhou Kingdom, which was already somewhat unstable, is now even worse.

Some people even began to pray secretly, hoping that the vassal kings everywhere would be better off.

Anyway, after the reverse, they might not have to pay.

Now these officials come down to press for money, and they have been given a little time to raise money, how can they have this money?

After collecting and analyzing the news collected from various places, the Silent Guards who came to Chengzhou Kingdom immediately knew it.
