Chapter 1163 Full of Blood

"That's it!"

Yun Li waved his hands feebly, "Then give it to him! I'll just take it as a gamble, betting that he still has a conscience, betting that he will avenge the people of Yuzhou!"

Yun Li finally drank the bowl of chicken soup that Tang Shu gave him.

Yes!

Compared with Xingzong of the previous dynasty, the difficulties he faced were really nothing!

Why couldn't he do what Xingzong of the previous dynasty could do?

Well, I will look through the history books later and learn more about the life events of Emperor Xingzong of the previous dynasty.

Maybe, I can figure out how to deal with that bastard Lao Liu.

"Your Highness, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself."

Tang Shu advised again: "I think that if Your Highness does four things well now, there is a great chance to win the game in one fell swoop!"

“What four things?”

Yun Li became a little more energetic.

Tang Shu stood up and said in a deep voice: "First, rectify the government and make the court united and work together!"

"Secondly, add more martial arts examinations and hurry up to prepare the army. Gather strength as quickly as possible and be ready for a battle with Yun Zheng!"

"Third, continue to suppress and weaken the powerful families and clans, stabilize the rear, and completely eliminate the worries!"

"Fourth, continue to befriend Xiqu, and find a way to use Xiqu to contain Yun Zheng, and buy more time for the court!"

Listening to Tang Shu talking, Xu Shifu and others nodded in agreement.

However, Xu Shifu felt a little unhappy.

Tang Shu completely interrupted him!

He had originally planned to find a time to talk to Yun Li about these things alone, but he didn't expect that Tang Shu would get there first, leaving him with no chance to speak.

"Master Tang is right!"

Xu Shifu was unwilling to give in, "I would like to add one more thing!"

"Uncle, please speak."

Yun Li humbly accepted the advice.

Xu Shifu: "I think that the powerful families in Yuzhou and Dengzhou have suffered a huge blow. Your Highness can take this opportunity to start implementing the land tax system in Yuzhou and Dengzhou to win the hearts of the people!"

"At the same time, we can also consider implementing the land tax system in Minzhou and Muzhou!"

"In this way, the people of Minzhou and Muzhou will be alert to the imperial court. Even if Yun Zheng wants to occupy these two states in the future, it will not be so easy for him to take over these two states!"

"However, I think that the implementation of the new tax system in Minzhou and Muzhou should be carried out gradually and should not be rushed, so as not to stir up chaos and give Yun Zheng an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Listening to Xu Shifu's words, Yun Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Xu Shifu’s suggestion is quite good.

However, would it be too much of a move to implement a new tax system in four states at once?

Well, we can discuss this matter in detail later.

Yun Li pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up. "After listening to Lord Tang and my uncle's words today, I was enlightened! With four loyal and upright ministers like you assisting me wholeheartedly, why should I worry about not being able to defeat Old Six?"

What Xu Shifu said was something he had never thought about before.

But he had actually thought about most of what Tang Shu said.

However, it is not so well organized and is mixed with a lot of messy things.

Tang Shu's four suggestions helped him sort out his thoughts completely.

As long as these four points can be achieved, he believes that even if the court is not sure of victory, it still has a great chance of winning!

At this moment, Yun Li's body seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and he regained his vitality.

He was originally a little depressed, but now his fighting spirit has been rekindled.

……

"Hehe..."

In the morning, when Yun Zheng stretched and walked out of the room, it suddenly became a little cooler outside.

The temperature dropped drastically overnight.

Yun Zheng counted the days on his fingers, feeling a little helpless.

Before we know it, winter is coming again.

In another month, it will be the Chinese New Year again.

He had originally wanted to deal with the troubles in Fuzhou as soon as possible and then rush to the Beihuan Royal Court.

I didn't expect the delay would last so long.

I really hope the third brother will reply to the message quickly and stop dragging it on any longer.

If we delay any further, it might be delayed until the New Year.

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng suddenly felt a little regretful.

A hundred secrets and a sparseness!

The third child should be given a time limit!

If the third brother uses the tactic of "dragging" to deal with me, I don't know how long I will have to wait.

Yun Zheng secretly made up his mind to wait for three more days at most. If the third brother didn’t reply, he would make sure that the third brother would have a miserable life for the next year!

"Woke up?"

Just as Yun Zheng was daydreaming, Miaoyin, who had gotten up about 25 minutes earlier than him, came forward with a letter, "This is a letter sent by General Dugu of the Northwest Protectorate to Shuofang. It was just delivered from Shuofang this morning."

The letter sent by Dugu Ce?

Yun Zheng took the letter, but did not rush to open it. Instead, he clasped his hands together and prayed in a funny way.

"What are you doing?"

Miaoyin couldn't help laughing, "Are you afraid of bad news coming from over there?"

Yun Zheng has never believed in ghosts or gods.

Are you actually starting to pray to God now?

Yun Zheng opened the letter and replied with a wry smile: "I was afraid that Du Gu Ce would tell me how many people starved to death over there and so on..."

Miaoyin laughed dumbly, "Now that you mention it, I think I'm starting to get a little scared too."

Who is not afraid?

Chen Bu, Ye Zi and the others are probably all scared!

Finally, Yun Zheng opened the letter.

His prayers seemed to work.

Dugu Ce didn't tell him how many people starved to death, he only talked about the situation in Xiqu.

The few people who took over from the Eighteen Ghost Riders to lead the troops into the former Hun Valley territory performed very well.

They fought with the Xiqu army many times, and relying on the combat idea of ​​fighting when they could and running away when they couldn't, they took advantage of the Xiqu army several times. Not only did their strength not suffer, but they also gathered a resistance army of more than 13,000 people.

At present, they occupy a small piece of land within the former Hun Valley. Although everything seems to be going well, Dugu Ce is still a little worried.

With more troops under their command, food supply became a problem.

Especially in winter, food and fodder became even more difficult to obtain.

If the Xiqu army completely ignored the impact of the climate and concentrated its forces to fight them in winter, the Daqian defenders of Xing'an Fort would not be able to provide them with much support.

This would put their situation in great danger.

Dugu Ce has already sent people to find a way to contact them. If the situation Dugu Ce is worried about really happens, he will ask them to split up into small groups and move as close to Saga as possible.

On the Sakya side, everything was going according to plan, and the Holy King of Xiqu, Sangjie, was also interested in supporting Zhanrang, who was dissatisfied with Gundazan.

But Zhan Rang was actually Gongdazan's confidant, and was sent out by Gongdazan in accordance with Yun Zheng's strategy to deliberately oppose him.

Finally, Dugu Ce reported to him the situation of their bandit group.

Xiqu was on guard against their bandit army. The bandit army's results after the autumn harvest were not very ideal, and Xiqu ambushed and killed thousands of them.

As the weather turned colder, their bandit group withdrew. If Dugu Ce wanted to help the bandit group get back their territory, he would have to wait until the beginning of next spring.

After reading Dugu Ce's letter, Yun Zheng couldn't help but think secretly.

If the more than 10,000 people in Hun Gu can survive this winter, they can try to create greater civil unrest in Xiqu after the spring of next year!

As long as the West Channel is in chaos, their bandit group should be able to regain their ground...
