    Emperor Zhou smiled lightly and said: "It's surprising." "It turns out that Tianfeng occupied Suzhou and Changzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, not just Shezhou." King Ji said in surprise.  "I was also surprised. I didn't expect that Lu Tianfeng owned Changzhou and Suzhou and was willing to come to Dazhou and risk danger. If I hadn't heard his admission, I wouldn't have been convinced." Emperor Zhou said.  "How did Tianfeng occupy Changzhou and Suzhou?" King Ji asked curiously.  Emperor Zhou explained, and King Ji suddenly realized, saying: "If Tianfeng is willing to join forces with the Jiangning County Prince, the Jin Kingdom will definitely be destroyed." Emperor Zhou shook his head and said calmly: "It is impossible for Lu Tianfeng to join forces with Zhao Kuangyin.  , and if Zhao Kuangyin destroyed the Jin State, he would be more likely to rebel. Lu Tianfeng said that he would not let the army of Jiangnan be used by the Zhou Dynasty. " King Ji nodded in confusion, and Emperor Zhou said again: "Lu Tianfeng owns Longyou and Jiangnan.  Basically, if he gets my concession, he will have the advantage to compete with Zhao Kuangyin or Zhang Yongde." King Ji hesitated after hearing this. Emperor Zhou said, "Xijin, what do you want to say?" King Ji hesitated.  , said: "Father, I feel that if Lu Tianfeng is allowed to win the kingdom of Zhou, it will also be a change of ownership." After hearing this, Emperor Zhou calmly said, "You have forgotten, I am the adopted son of the late emperor." "Son.  I haven¡¯t forgotten it,¡± King Ji said in fear.  Emperor Zhou looked at Prince Ji with gentle eyes and said: "I also want to inherit the great Zhou Dynasty from my own blood, but you are still young, your fourth brother is weak, and your fifth brother is flashy. The biggest mistake I made in this life is  Too much respect for military merit has led to the rise of leading generals. Your two brothers are not good at winning over the military. Your fourth brother is even unwilling to leave the Kaifeng Mansion. If I don't make preparations for changes, I'm afraid there will be a disaster.  "The disaster of annihilation." "I understand," King Ji said respectfully.  "I have said that the imperial edict given to you is a bargaining chip. If you think you can control the military power of Jingzhao Mansion, you can become the emperor. The choice is yours, and it changes randomly." Emperor Zhou said.  "My dear sir, please remember this," King Ji responded with some fear.  Emperor Zhou paused for a moment and said: "Xijin, my father's idea of ??abdication is, firstly, for the survival of your brothers, and secondly, for the continuation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If Lu Tianfeng accepts my abdication, he will have to regard his father as the first emperor.  In the future history books, my father will be able to leave a good reputation." King Ji was startled and said, "Is my father inclined to abdication?" Emperor Zhou shook his head and said, "I said that abdication is a preparation for flexibility.  "If your father can live a few more years, you will naturally gain more military support. If you can't live longer, you can make your own decision." "My father will definitely live longer," King Ji said firmly.  Emperor Zhou smiled and said nothing, and King Ji suddenly frowned and said, "Father, who ordered the assassin in Hexi?" "I don't know, the assassin committed suicide, but I heard from Lu Tianfeng that the assassin had a military  Wu Xiantian Gong should not be an unknown person, I will ask someone to investigate." Emperor Zhou said.  Prince Ji nodded and said: "Tianfeng's martial arts is indeed powerful, and it is also the ability that I can't match. As long as Tianfeng leads his troops and performs martial arts in one time, he can overwhelm thousands of armies. If my father wants to surrender to Tianfeng, at least half of them are  Is it because of Tianfeng¡¯s martial prowess?¡± ¡°Only 20%, he is just as brave as an ordinary man, but he is still an overlord. The most terrifying thing about Lu Tianfeng is that he is good at strategizing and bringing peace to the world. Look at his wars in the west, every time he puts strategy first.  Supplemented by force, don't think he is a fluke. A truly famous general is one who is good at taking advantage of the right time, place and people to turn ordinary things into magic." Emperor Zhou said.  King Ji nodded thoughtfully, and then listened to Emperor Zhou say: "Don't let your father say that you have lost your confidence. My father is just reminding you that when fighting Lu Tianfeng, you must learn from Sima Yi's caution and don't be tempted. The military flaws you think of  , Lu Tianfeng cannot be negligent. If you can really control the military strength of Jingzhao Mansion, then use the advantages of the large army to attack. Lu Tianfeng's current weakness is the lack of troops, so as soon as you advance, he will definitely retreat to Hexi. " Ji  Wang Ting thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "It is best to be at peace with Tianfeng. Tianfeng's cavalry is too mobile. Even with an army of 600,000, it will fall into a passive position in the war. Why are the wars in the north always fought?  If you don't win against the Yan State, the Yan State's cavalry will be difficult to deal with." Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "You understand, but if there is internal peace in the Zhou Dynasty, Lu Tianfeng can only defend Longyou. If the war is cruel,  , his rule over Longyou will be shaken." King Ji nodded and asked: "Father, Zhao Kuangyin has made no progress in Jiangnan. Now that Zhao Kuangyi has gone, they should have made some progress, right?"  "There will be no progress. At most, there will be a symbolic attack. This year, Runzhou's farming will be improved."After a good harvest, Zhao Kuangyin will continue to maintain his position and rationalize the return of military strength, mainly recruiting troops and training in Jiangnan.  "Emperor Zhou replied. King Ji nodded after listening and understood in his heart that Zhao Kuangyin had actually separatized Runzhou, but he already knew that if Zhao Kuangyin was in Kaifeng Mansion, his father would not have confidence in the control of the military and was worried that rash actions would cause  Backlash, after Zhao Kuangyin left, his father transferred Yun Jindong to become the Tiger Wing Left Army, and also transferred some of the Imperial Guards from Kaifeng Mansion to the north. In addition, in order to suppress possible mutinies, Zhang Yongde had to be reassigned as the guard in front of the palace.  ¡°This year, there has been too much rainfall in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and there has been another famine in Qilu.  "Emperor Zhou said with a heavy tone. King Ji's expression changed slightly. The land of Qilu was a very important territory for the Zhou Dynasty. It was an important grain-producing area and a source of troops. He couldn't help but ask: "Father, where is Jianghuai?  " "Jianghuai is okay and has only suffered minor disasters. However, in order to support the war, the tax imposed on Jianghuai is already too heavy.  " Emperor Zhou replied. King Ji was silent, and after a while he said: "Father, I suggest you not to transport military supplies to Jingzhao Mansion, and try your best to provide disaster relief.  "    "how?  Do you want to ask Lu Tianfeng for food?  " Emperor Zhou said. King Ji nodded and said, "My son, I went to ask for food in person and asked Tianfeng to support the winter food.  " "Lu Tianfeng told me that he only sells grain, so it may not be useful if you go.  "Emperor Zhou said. "I want to give it a try.  "King Ji insisted. Emperor Zhou nodded and said: "Hexi and Hehuang have both had a good harvest this year, especially Hexi. Except for Liangzhou, which is worse, the other four states have had a good harvest. Among them, Ganzhou has the most, and Shazhou has the most.  Now, when I leave, you can go to Jiezhou.  " King Ji nodded, and Emperor Zhou sighed softly: "It is said that the Central Plains is a land of treasures, but in fact agriculture depends on the grace of God. In the west of Hexi, there are Qilian Mountains that melt snow into rivers. As long as they are managed well, the oasis will have a good harvest.  " "If there is a good year in the Central Plains, the harvest in Hexi cannot be compared. There are few people in Hexi. If there are many people, they will not be able to provide for themselves.  "King Ji whispered. Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded, saying: "If there is no war next year, the Yellow River should be regulated.  " King Ji nodded, but Emperor Zhou said again: "The management of the Yellow River has been delayed for several years, and it may not be able to be managed next year.  " King Ji's face froze. Emperor Zhou looked at him and said with a faint smile: "Governing a country is difficult. Money and manpower are needed everywhere. I have been in office for so many years. What worries me most is not the border troubles, but the lack of financial resources to govern the country.  " King Ji nodded and said: "When I was serving as the Xuanfu envoy in the west, I already felt the hardship of lack of financial resources and food. After becoming the governor, the most worrying thing was the distribution of military supplies, the consumption and expenses of each army, summarized  It was very surprising. The military supplies brought by the imperial court could only meet 30% to 40%.  " Emperor Zhou nodded and said: "You haven't fought with the Jin army in Hanzhong yet. If there is a war, the subsequent cost will be several times higher, so we can only confront Hanzhong.  " King Ji nodded, and Emperor Zhou continued: "Do you know why the generals of Zhou have such a profound influence on the army?  " "I heard Tianfeng say that firstly, it is easy for the army to form a camaraderie. After life and death together, they will become as loyal as brothers. Secondly, the general will use the method of fighting to support the war to inspire and win over the morale of the army.  The general will distribute the robbed property or women to his subordinates who are good at fighting, so the subordinates will remember their gratitude. The property distributed by the general to his subordinates is often much higher than the reward given by the court, so the military officials of the Zhou Dynasty will have a lot  He has old subordinates and comrades with an iron-blooded friendship. Even if the military officials are no longer in command of the army, they can still give orders to their original subordinates and generals.  "King Ji replied. Emperor Zhou nodded and said a little lonely: "I can't lead the expedition myself, so the military officials are in power. Don't make the same mistake as your father in the future.  " "My son, I would like to listen to my father's teachings.  "King Ji responded gently.
