Everyone followed Chai Rong and turned into the small tent next to the capital tent. Under the bright lights, a huge military sand table appeared in front of them.

Chai Rong lifted a long wooden stick on the sand tray, pointed to the Yellow River marked with yellow mud, and said lightly: "To the north of Kaifeng, relying on this natural barrier, how can we defend it?"

When Li Zhongyi heard this, his heart became bright. His previous high-profile comments on the Yellow River Navy must have been introduced into Chai Rong's ears.

"Hebei must establish a strong village, and Henan must rely on the protection of the navy. Water and land must be controlled by each other, and the capital will be safe." Li Zhongyi gave the answer very well, and then waited for Chai Rong to give further instructions.

Chai Rong smiled faintly and asked Wang Pu again: "Wang Qiwu, how many warships are available in my Great Zhou?"

Wang Pu was shocked and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, there are currently one warship with 500 materials, ten warships with 300 materials, and the rest are about a hundred warships with less than a hundred materials."

'Well, we must speed up the preparations." The long wooden stick in Chai Rong's hand suddenly pointed to the northwest, "The Dangxiang people have good horses."

Li Gu thought to himself that Chai Rong was asking for strengthening the navy while thinking about the good horses of Dingnan Army. Could it be that he wanted to attack the Liu family who was nesting in Taiyuan again?

Fan Zhi glanced at Li Zhongyi who was in a good mood. He understood in his heart that this guy's strategic strategy of taking Hetao first and then taking Youyan not only reminded Chai Rong, but also won Chai Rong's recognition.

The Khitans had a vast territory, with 200,000 armors. Once the war between the two sides was fully launched, it would be a strategic decisive battle. It would definitely delay the time. The material consumption of the Great Zhou imperial guards was astronomical.

If, according to what Li Zhongyi proposed, first take over the territory of the Dingnan Army Dingnan Army, he would obtain tens of thousands of Hequ war horses in a blink of an eye.

The Hequ horse may not have enough endurance for long journeys, but the charge speed is far better than that of the short Khitan horse.

With the assistance of the cavalry, even the infantry riding horses and the motor power of the Great Zhou imperial guards will definitely be greatly strengthened.

In this way, Chai Rong's plan for the Northern Expedition would have countless choices. At least, it could restrain the Khitans and dare not gather troops to gather their troops to fully fight against the Great Zhou.

That night, Chai Rong ignored the opposition of the important officials. Leng stayed in the Polu Army.

In the early morning, Chai Rong got up early. After changing his clothes, he slowly walked out of the tent.

As we met, teams of Polu Army soldiers wearing short jackets, with bare hands, were headed by the officers and returned to the camp in a row.

Nearly 10,000 people participated in morning exercises, but there was not much footsteps. Obviously, Li Zhongyi had given instructions in advance. He should not disturb His Majesty's good dream.

When Chai Rong saw the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards beside him, they all showed nervous expressions on their faces, and he couldn't help but smile.

How can the tragedy of Tai'a's rebellion be controlled by the country's sharp blade be controlled by one person? Is it only Wang Pu who knows such a simple truth?

Li Zhongyi and Fu Zhaoxin were summoned by Chai Rong and rushed over to accompany him side by side. Fan Zhi also got up early and had already been walking around the military camp for a long time. He happened to return.

After the morning exercise, aloud reading sounds came from the entire Polu Army, "The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings..."

Chai Rong listened carefully for a while, and suddenly asked Li Zhongyi with a smile: "Don't you plan to teach the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Li Zhongyi quickly bowed and replied, "The Four Books and Five Classics are extremely exquisite, and even the weak ministers can't learn it. Moreover, these rough men have too little foundation in studying, so it is inevitable that they will be too difficult to learn."

Chai Rong looked at Li Zhongyi deeply. Isn’t it difficult for Lao Tzu to have a “Tao Te Ching”?

Obviously, Li Zhongyi has many "prejudgments" about the classics of Confucianism.

However, it is enough for military men to study, they only need to know the basic principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. They are not the imperial examination and Jinshi, so Chai Rong is too lazy to study it.

Fan Zhi frowned and felt quite unhappy. What the hell is Li Wujiu doing?

As the prime minister who has been in the officialdom for a long time, Fan Zhi's eyes were like a torch, and he could see through Li Zhongyi's little thought of being a little bit of the foundation of the Confucian school.

While having breakfast, Chai Rong did something that Li Zhongyi didn't expect. He actually lined up with the soldiers with the dishes and waited for the meal.

Good guy, he was very frightened by the soldiers queuing up. Chai Rong, the soldiers in front, back and forth, were stupid and didn't know where to put their hands?

The prime ministers, Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin looked at each other one by one. They had all persuaded each other hard just now. Chai Rong insisted on doing this, what if he could do?

Li Zhongyi also sighed in his heart. Chai Rong's big show was made, at least half of Li's popularity.

The ancients really couldn't underestimate it. Chai Rong learned it without any instruction and actually brought the effect of show off to the extreme.

He is truly a hero of a generation!

After Chai Rong made a meal, he squatted with a group of soldiers. He swallowed the mutton in his mouth and asked a soldier gently: "The food on weekdays is the same as today?"

The soldier was stunned for a while and did not dare to look up. He replied in a low voice: "I ate very well. I have broth every meal, and I am not slow to treat my brothers."

Chai Rong nodded and saw that the soldier was speaking neatly, so he asked him again: "Why are you here to join the army?"

The soldier thought for a long time and whispered: "At first, it was because his family was poor and could not survive anymore, and he wanted to make a living in the army. Now, the villain followed Duanjian to read some books and figured out a truth. Without a country, how could there be a family? Duanjian once said that fame and fortune were taken immediately, and the Huns were not destroyed. Why did the family be? The villain volunteered to follow His Majesty and swear to death in the northern expedition!"

Chai Rong was speechless for a moment. After a while, he asked another soldier: "Are you afraid of the Khitan barbarians?"

"I used to be very scared, but now I'm not afraid anymore. The Superintendent often tells everyone that in the Battle of Gaoping, His Majesty will lead the way and defeat the Khitan's feat." The soldier was brave and looked at Chai Rong, with a look of admiration.

What a heroic lord Chai Rong is, you can see that the soldier's admiration for him is completely from the heart!

Wang Pu sighed secretly, Li Wujiu, Li Wujiu, you are such a good soldier.

Fan Zhi glanced at the serious Li Zhongyi, and his deep suspicion about Li Zhongyi had dissipated for more than half.

Putting aside Li Zhongyi's "bad habit" of respecting Confucianism, a commanding minister who teaches by words and deeds, personally teaches the lowest-level soldiers, and remembers the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, is indeed trustworthy!

Is this kind of person not loyal. Could it be that if the vassal states that hold heavy troops and always covet the supreme imperial power, such as Li Chongjin, are more trustworthy?

Isn't that ridiculous?

After breakfast, the story of Chai Rong making the meal himself has spread throughout the military camp!

Li Zhongyi wanted to send Chai Rong away and ride a horse home, but Chai Rong called him directly to the imperial carriage, "Li Wujiu, please accompany me back to Kaifeng."

Li Zhongyi hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't resist Chai Rong's cold gaze. He had to climb Chai Rong's imperial chariot in front of everyone and carefully sat by the door of the car.

"I didn't read you wrong." Chai Rong said just one sentence, then took out the "Three Character Classic" from his sleeve and started reading it intently.

Li Zhongyi was sitting by the car door, and his mind was inevitably full of random thoughts. Comrade Lao Chai called him into the car but left it aside. What does this mean?

From leaving Chenqiaoyi to entering Fengqiu Gate, Chai Rong always studied alone and ignored Li Zhongyi.

The tiger was right beside him, and Li Zhongyi had to look at his nose and his heart, as if an old monk was meditating, and he always sat straight.

Chai Rong suddenly put down the book in his hand, looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile, and said, "You go home."

"I'm leaving." Li Zhongyi bowed and came down from the imperial chariot. After sending Chai Rong's team of troops away, he quickly got on the horse and went home.

Li Zhongyi met Li Dahe in Mrs. Xue's room. Li Dahe stroked his beard and smiled: "I know that you are definitely not at ease and will definitely take leave to go home."

"Grandma, after all, he is the child's first offspring, so he must be a little nervous." Li Zhongyi held Tianya with his left hand and Bao Ge'er with his right hand. The two little kids were surprisingly well-behaved today, and neither of them cried.

Mrs. Xue sighed and said, "You two ghosts, once you come back, you will stop making trouble. You are so excited to make trouble for your mother on weekdays."

Li Zhongyi smiled and said, "They know that my eldest brother is busy with his family business and can't bear to mess with me."

However, before Li Zhongyi finished speaking, his younger brother Bao Ge'er actually peed directly into his hands.

Mrs. Xue was almost disgusted. Without waiting for the master's instructions, Xier stretched out her hands and took Brother Bao from Li Zhongyi's hand.

After enjoying the joy of family, Li Zhongyi took a brisk step and returned to his yard.

Li Zhongyi went directly to Ping'er's place, and the little girl who was cleaning at the gate of the yard. When she saw Li Zhongyi, she immediately threw down the broom in her hand and floated to the main house like a swallow.

While running, the little girl shouted: "Madam, Madam, I'm back."

He was really ignorant. The one lying inside was a pregnant woman and could not move around. Li Zhongyi was worried that something might happen to Ping'er, so he followed the little girl into the house in three steps.

Fortunately, Li Zhongyi was quick to walk. The bottle that was originally lying on the bed was about to get up to greet him, but he stopped him.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Li Zhongyi held Ping'er's shoulders and asked her with a smile.

Ping'er stroked her round belly and said shyly: "The little guy with a belly is very bad, and he kicks her so hard that he can't sleep every night."

Li Zhongyi took a deep breath, took the pulse for Ping'er, and stroked Ping'er's stomach for a while. Well, the delivery is about to happen, and this little guy is already on his head and feet, just waiting for the day when the melon is ripe and the stems fall.

"Master, don't worry, the old man comes to take his pulse three times every day. One day, there was a heavy rain in the sky. The old man is still holding an umbrella, and his whole body is soaked." Ping'er leaned against Li Zhongyi's arms and murmured about the various things that have happened at home recently.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly. His father Li Dahe already had three sons and one daughter, but he didn’t have a grandchild yet. Naturally, he was very nervous!

Li Dahe should be in a hurry to hug his grandson if he holds his grandson? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
