Wu Tian helped Hua Rong up and said with a serious expression: "Brother Hua Rong, I have appointed you as King of Zhenbei and let you manage the entire Liao territory. It is not that simple thing. There is Xixia in the west of Liao territory. I cannot separate myself to fight now, but you must be prepared. Once I resolve the incident in Japan, I will choose the opportunity to fight against Xixia. At that time, I will be transferred from you."

"So, in addition to being your king in Liao, you also need to train people and reserve grain and grass for me to develop the economy."

When Hua Rong heard this, his face felt a little embarrassed.

He bowed to Wu Tian: "Your Majesty, I can do these two things, but I really don't understand this, for fear that I will miss Your Majesty's affairs."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Tian smiled.

He patted Hua Rong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this. Before I leave, I will leave you with a national policy of governance and send some people to help you."

Hua Rong then felt at ease and bowed to Wu Tian, ​​saying, "Since Your Majesty has such an arrangement, then I have nothing to worry about."

After giving Hua Rong instructions, Wu Tian looked at the other generals who had not been conferred a title and smiled faintly: "The rest of you, after you follow me to resolve the incident in Japan, I will reward you according to the merits and no one should worry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The other generals bowed to Wu Tian.

...

At night, Wu Tian entered the Saint's bedroom.

When the saint saw Wu Tian coming, he signaled Mu Guiying to help him up.

Wu Tian hurried forward, held the saint down, and said, "You are still weak, just have a good rest."

The saint nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, you don't sleep late at night and see me. Is there anything wrong?"

Seeing that he could not hide the saint, Wu Tian had to nod and said, "I see you, there is something wrong. Recently, military newspapers came from Lu Junyi. The Japanese attacked them frequently and successfully, and recently they burned down the food of the army. The situation became very serious. Now that the Liao land has been pacified, I ordered Hua Rong to lead 100,000 troops here to guard it, and I will personally lead 300,000 troops to Koryo."

"Your Majesty is going to fight against Japan?"

The saint frowned slightly.

"Saint, you seem to have something in your words. Just say it, you are the only one here, Guiying and I."

Wu Tian stared at the saint and asked in a low voice.

The saint pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to say, if we raise an army now and fight the Japanese country to the death in Goryeo, even if we can win, it will be a tragic victory."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Tian was stunned.

"Saint, what you mean is that we can't fight against Japan to the end?"

The saint nodded.

"Your Majesty, I know that saying this will definitely shock you, and may even anger you. But I still have to say that we consume too much materials and soldiers in Liao. What's more, the country has been empty for years and the people can be said to have almost reached the brink of being unable to bear it."

The Saint's words hit Wu Tian's heart.

This is also a question he has been thinking about. To conquer the world, it requires a lot of money to support it.

"Also, it's not too long since the Japanese occupied Gao Liguo for a day or two. They are very familiar with the terrain there, and they can gather materials and soldiers on the spot. We will be unfamiliar with where we can kill this way. If there is something unexpected, we will be in a dilemma."

Wu Tian nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what the saint said.

"According to you, what should I do?"

The saint said: "For the sake of the present plan, Your Majesty leads troops to the Kingdom of Goryeo, but he does not fight the Japanese desperately and acts as a pretext, and temporarily make peace with the Japanese. At the same time, develop the economy of Liao and Song, establish railway transportation, and trade with neighboring countries. I think that in five years, Liao and Song will regain prosperity. At that time, the troops and money and food are enough, so we can deal with Japan first, subjugate them, and then attack the Western Xia from Liao. As long as these two countries are destroyed, the remaining Dali and Annan will automatically surrender to us. As for the countries in the Western Regions, when the time comes, Your Majesty can command troops to fight the West."

"In this way, our Liang Kingdom will be the strongest country in the world, and your majesty's grand achievements can be realized."

Wu Tian nodded repeatedly and smiled, "I was still worried before, who should I choose to stay and help Hua Rong. Now I don't have this worry. My beloved concubine, I want to keep you and help Hua Rong manage Liaodi. Don't worry, it's only half a year. I know that my beloved concubine, you are about to give birth to me. I should have stayed by your side, but..."

Wu Tian couldn't continue to say anything. He also wanted to stay and accompany the Saint, waiting for his first child to be born?

But Lu Junyi was really urging him, so he had to go.

The saint did not make a fuss, but looked at Wu Tian calmly, smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, I can understand you. I am willing to stay and help Hua Rong, but I am more a woman. Now I am pregnant with a child, so life must be a little trouble. I want to ask Your Majesty to allow me to leave Sister Guiying here to take care of me."

Wu Tian looked at Mu Guiying.

Mu Guiying smiled and said, "I am willing to stay and take care of the fourth sister. Your Majesty, please feel free to go."

Wu Tian was overjoyed and held Mu Guiying's hand, a little excited: "My dear concubine, I'm sorry to you. But don't worry, I will not forget your grace. After I pacify the Japanese Kingdom in the east, I will definitely repay you well."

Mu Guiying's cheeks turned slightly red.

"I don't need any reward from Your Majesty. I just hope to have a child with Your Majesty in the future."

Wu Tian smiled.

"Don't worry, I will have ten or eight out of you in the future."

After the arrangement was completed, the next day, Wu Tian told Hua Rong about the saint's assistance.

Hua Rong was surprised and was so scared that he knelt in front of Wu Tian and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the Empress of the Imperial Empress is Hua Rong's master, how could Hua Rong ask her to assist? Otherwise, all the power in Liao land will be handed over to the Empress of the Imperial Empress. How about the Wei Minister as the Empress of the Imperial Empress?"

Looking at Hua Rong's fearful look, Wu Tian smiled and helped him up.

"Brother Hua Rong, don't be afraid. This matter was discussed last night by me and the Imperial Queen. The Imperial Queen is pregnant now and cannot go to Goryeo with me, so she stays here to raise her baby and serves as a consultant to help you manage the economy of Liao. If you don't understand anything you don't know about developing the economy, you can ask her. As for other things, you'll be fine. Also, Concubine Mu is also staying here, and her main task is to take care of the Imperial Queen."

"Okay, what else do you have? If there is nothing else, it's decided."

Wu Tian made a decision.

Hua Rong did not dare to object and bowed to Wu Tian and said, "Everything is what Your Majesty."

Wu Tian nodded, left Hua Rong behind, and led the other generals to the war.
Chapter completed!
