Chapter 934 Prepare for the Eastern Expedition!

This morning the court was also extremely restless. All civil and military officials in the court were discussing the battle on the eve of the night. No one thought that the uproarious peak showdown would end in such a dramatic way.

What is most difficult for them to understand is, when did Dayu have such strength?

I sat up in shock in my dying dream, is the oriole actually me?

However, it must be said that this grand event has caused great waves both in the political arena and among the people.

Dayu became the final winner. First he was ridiculed, and then he fought back in a high-profile manner, showing off his face to the world, and the people in Beijing also benefited from this. This was a happy thing for everyone.

As for the subsequent impact, who cares?

Ning Fan's top priority is to destroy Yingzhou, who has been jumping around.

News came from Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang that Dayu's navy had been reorganized, and all warships, ordnance, logistics, food and fodder, etc. were fully prepared and ready for the eastern expedition at any time.

Now that it has entered late autumn, the weather has turned colder. If it drags on, I am afraid that we may not be able to level Japan by the year before.

Therefore, Ning Fan is ready to go on a personal expedition and march eastward!

"My dear ministers, Yingzhou's declaration of war against me, the Great Yu, is actually an act of provocation. Failure to attack it will not make the people angry and calm their hearts!"

"I am determined to personally conquer Japan, bring the island of Yingzhou into the territory of Yu the Great, and solve the troubles in the East China Sea once and for all!"

"I will trouble you all with the affairs of the imperial court."

"My father is old and lacks energy. He may be tired and hurt his body. You must do your best to help. Don't slack off and delay the state affairs!"

Emperor Yu was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the traitor standing in front of him, arranging everything in a pretentious manner, and felt extremely angry: "What does it mean that I am old?"

"Your father is in his prime, don't you believe that we are practicing in the back hall!"

"Are you the emperor or am I the emperor?"

"Ahem!"

Listening to the traitor's endless nonsense, Emperor Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't help coughing and interrupted: "Okay, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the court. I'm afraid this Eastern Expedition will not be easy."

"Now that the climate has turned cold, the land of Yingzhou is even more cold and bitter. The prince cannot enter rashly."

"Father, don't worry!"

After the morning court, Ning Fan began to think about the Eastern Expedition.

Nowadays, not only Yingzhou Island, but also Dongzhou is not at peace. Many rebels have taken over the mountain and become kings, plotting big things, and there is a vague tendency of separatism.

Now, Dayu's main force, Chen Bing, is in the western border, guarding against Dayan, while the Han cavalry and white horse Yi Cong are still in the north of Yan, waiting for Lin Qiushi's negotiation.

Therefore, Dayu's navy was the main force in the Eastern Expedition.

A mere 100,000 soldiers and horses are not that many. It is reported that there are 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and horses in Yingzhou. Although Yingzhou Island is small, in this era, it still has 5 million people.

"How is Uncle Bao's injury?"

"My lord, General Shubao is already able to get out of bed and walk. He just wants to mount his horse and fight. I'm afraid..."

"Um!"

"My lord, for the Eastern Expedition, Gong Jin and Yuan Jing are enough generals."

"As for soldiers and armor, there are 100,000 Yu Dayu's navy troops, and another 100,000 Zhendong Army can be mobilized."

Ning Fan shook his head, looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "I, Dayu, have no experience in going to sea on a large scale. I am not prepared to bring too many troops in this Eastern Expedition."

"One hundred thousand Yu's navy plus the Iron Eagle warriors are enough."

"How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife?"

Dian Wei cupped his fists and said, "My lord, you don't need to personally fight in this battle. Just let me and Zhou Yu lead the troops."

"No!"

Ning Fan shook his head, with a gleam in his eyes: "Destroy Japan, I will never be absent!"

…

Western Shu.

A carriage slowly drove into the bustling capital. The driver was an old man, dressed in plain clothes and a long gown, with an eye-catching butcher's knife behind him.

The carriage followed the government's motorcade and stopped in front of the Honglu Temple.

"Master Feng!"

"please!"

I saw the official of Honglu Temple who had been waiting for a long time and welcomed Guo Jia out of the carriage with a smile on his face.

Hu Min looked at the officials on the side and said softly: "Master Feng is the official envoy of Yu the Great, so he must entertain you well."

"promise!"

Guo Jia looked around, looking at the strange capital in front of him with a bit of sadness on his face.

I have to say that this era is much stronger than the Three Kingdoms in his previous life. Any one of the capitals of the Five Kingdoms is enough to defeat Chang'an and Luoyang in the late Han Dynasty.

Moreover, Western Shu is located in a remote corner of the capital, and has enjoyed peace for more than a hundred years. In addition, it borders the Western Regions, and business and trade are very frequent.

Therefore, Xishu can be regarded as the richest among the five countries in the Central Plains.

After moving into the official residence arranged by Honglu Temple, Guo Jia stood quietly in front of the window. The climate in Western Shu was relatively warm, but it started to rain lightly at this time.

Hu Min also came to greet him specially, but did not give him the exact time to go to court.

Obviously, Xi Shu did not want to receive him, the envoy of Dayu, for the time being.

Gradually late at night, Guo Jia did not go to bed, but still stood quietly in front of the window. The wind outside had become a little cooler.

"Sa!"

A strong wind hit his face, and a black shadow instantly slipped into his room. A moment later, an old man with a butcher's knife was about to slash at the man in black. Guo Jia's eyelids jumped.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hua!"

"My own people."

Seeing Hua Tuo put down the butcher knife in his hand, Guo Jiacai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man in black.

"Heibingtai Tianzi No. 9 secret agent has met Mr. Guo."

"No gifts!"

Guo Jia raised his hand, and his slightly pale and sickly face looked even more eerie under the candlelight.

The man in black knelt in front of Guo Jia and said, "Before you entered the city today, the Shu Emperor had received the news of your arrival in Beijing."

"After entering Beijing, the Minister of Honglu Temple Hu Min went to the palace to meet the Shu Emperor."

"The Shu Emperor summoned the Prime Minister of Western Shu Fu Chengren and the Minister of Rites Li Huai to the palace for a discussion."

"The specific discussion of the three is unknown."

Guo Jia nodded slightly, looked at the man in black and asked softly, "How is Princess Mingyang now?"

"Since Princess Mingyang returned, she has been under house arrest in the palace and has not seen outsiders."

"I have sent people to keep a close eye on her, and the few attendants around her have been replaced by me. Our people."

"Just..."

The man in black paused for a moment and looked at Guo Jia: "As far as I know, Princess Mingyang seems to have caught a cold and has been bedridden these days."

"Hmm?"

Guo Jia frowned and pondered for a moment: "Find out the condition, send a message to the palace, and take good care of her."

"Yes!"

"Are there any of our people in the posthouse?"

"My Lord, all of them are our people!"

Even Guo Jia couldn't help but be shocked. In the past few years, the infiltration of Heibingtai into Xishu seems to have reached an extremely terrifying level.

In this case, there are too many places to operate.

"I want the intelligence of the civil and military officials of Xishu and the movements of the Xishu court."

"Before dawn."

"Hmm!"
