Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

After Jiang Yan ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to visit Liu Zhijie, and most of the children of the Liu family were also reused.

originally wanted to accept Liu Zhijie's granddaughter Liu Bailuo as a concubine, but Liu Bailuo resolutely disagreed, threatening to castrate whoever dared to marry her. Faced with such a "heroic" woman, Jiang Yan gave up decisively.

Sensing that Liu Zhijie still didn't trust him very much, Jiang Yan sent an envoy to Chengdu to contact Li Zhao, hoping to redeem Liu Sihong with a large amount of money.

Since Li Zhao plundered Haoqiang, his wealth has increased dramatically, and he no longer looks down on Jiang Yan's little money, so he ignores it at all.

Although Jiang Yan didn't succeed, Liu Zhijie had a much better attitude towards him after knowing about it.

In addition to Liu Zhijie, Chen Jin's post of Zhongshu Ling has not been dismissed, the crown prince is still the seventh prince Jiang Che, and Jiang Yu has not been liquidated.

Jiang Yan's measures have stabilized the hearts of the DPRK and China to a certain extent.

For him, nothing was more important than resisting the invasion of the Zhaowu army.

But Jiang Yan also knew that the Zhaowu army was strong, and it was difficult to defeat it completely. It can be seen from the last repulsion of the Xiangyang army that in less than ten days, the 70,000 Xiangyang army was lost.

The Qi army in Changsha and other places didn't even react, and the battle was over.

Liu Zhijie once bluntly said to Jiang Yan that it was impossible to eliminate the Zhaowu Army in a short period of time, and the early stage should focus on defensive counterattacks. In the Changsha and Wuchang defense lines, and the Zhaowu army. When the time comes, first recover Yiling and drive the Zhaowu army back to the west. Then it will take another year or two to recover Shu and Hanzhong.

He had also thought of sending someone to contact Wei to fight against Li Zhao together.

Chen Jin felt that it would be useless, Li Zhao was the royal family of Wei after all, unless Emperor Li Kun of Wei died, and as long as he was alive, it was unlikely that Wei would attack the Zhaowu army. However, after the crown prince Li You succeeds to the throne, the military and political policy of Wei may be changed.

Zhou Zhaopeng also held the same view.

Jiang Yan then gave up the matter, hurriedly recruited soldiers, and prepared for battle.

.................................................................................................................

At night, the Liu family mansion.

"The old general thinks that in three months, can the Huainan Army be defeated?" Jiang Yan looked serious.

Liu Zhijie said confidently: "The things on the battlefield have always been difficult to guess. The old man didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to eliminate it, but he was seven or eighty percent sure that he could severely damage the Huainan army.

Jiang Yan was overjoyed in his heart, "How many soldiers and horses does

the old general need?" "Seventy thousand soldiers are enough!" "

I have prepared all the food and grass for the old general, when can I send troops?"

"The beginning of next month." Liu Zhijie said.

Jiang Yan's face was a little entangled, "Don't hide it from the old general, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart." Li Zhao has not yet launched an attack on Xiangyang, and if Qi attacks Huainan, I am worried that the Zhaowu army will take the opportunity to attack Qi.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, it won't be long before Li Zhao will attack Xiangyang. Liu Zhijie smiled.

Jiang Yan was puzzled: "Why is the old general so sure?" "

Xiangyang is a military powerhouse, Li Zhao is ambitious, and he has long had the heart of Xiangyang. However, he was afraid of Wei's reaction and did not immediately move troops. Now, the Xiangyang army has suffered a fiasco, and the opportunity is rare, how could Li Zhao give up?"

Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his expression eased a lot.

"Xiangyang City is strong, its defense is not inferior to any city in the world, and the city has abundant grain and grass. In a short period of time, it was difficult for the Zhaowu army to take Xiangyang. Our army can boldly attack Huainan. Liu Zhijie said in a deep voice.

Jiang Yan's expression was solemn, regardless of the emperor's respect, and he saluted Liu Zhijie: "Everything, all please the old general."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this battle will be won!" After

Jiang Yan left, Liu Sixing, who had been silent beside him, said, "Father, do you really believe that the emperor will reuse my Liu family?" "

At least so far, this person's attitude is quite sincere, and I haven't noticed anything unusual.

Liu Sixing let out a long sigh, "My son is afraid, worried that Jiang Yan is the same as Jiang Ningxian." Later, he became suspicious of his father.

"Probably not.

"It's been so long since Jiang Wei was killed, and I still don't know who did it, I suspect it's ........ now.

Liu Zhijie frowned slightly, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Liu Sixing fixedly, "Who have you been dating lately?"

Liu Sixing's heart tightened, "Father is too worried, how dare a son deceive his father."

"This is an eventful time, so be cautious in your words and actions. "

The father is relieved, the son understands. "

..........

On the river, there are more and more warships of the Qi State, and their movements are getting bigger and bigger; all kinds of signs indicate that the Qi State is going to make a real move this time.

Chang Xuan was a little panicked, he didn't expect that Qi State would suddenly change emperors.

Unlike Jiang Ningxian, Jiang Yan's attitude is obviously much tougher.

Chang Xuan hurriedly sent an envoy to contact Li Zhao, saying that the two families were allies of each other, and their lips were cold. It is hoped that the Zhaowu army can launch an attack on the Qi army, even if it is a feint. In this way, it will put pressure on Qi and distract it.

Li Zhao agreed, and conveyed to Chang Xuan through the messenger, asking him to put one hundred and eighty hearts, and the Zhaowu Army would never sit idly by.

It's just that it takes a lot of time to raise grain and grass, and I hope Chang Xuan will last longer.

If Chang Xuan is not too relieved, he is willing to marry the Chang family, and Li Chang and the two families will always be married to fight against the Qi army.
