Become a feudal king from today

The next day.

It was dawn.

Dou Wei was awakened by cheers coming from the city wall.

He was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep after returning last night, and he just slept for a while.

Confused about what happened, he got up and got dressed, climbed the city wall, and found that Beidi was moving out of camp.

He understood, and just as he was about to go back to sleep, Dou Ruiguang suddenly pointed to the north and said, "Sir, is that the Dasong army returning from Xiancheng?"

Dou Wei looked far away and saw that there was indeed an army coming in the opposite direction of the Beidi army.

After waiting on the city wall for a quarter of an hour, the army gradually approached, and he said, "It is indeed Yang Feng and his men, let them enter the city."

Not far away.

Yang Feng saw the familiar Wuguan again, and suddenly his eyes were slightly red, and his mood was complicated.

The Northern Expedition failed, and Dasong and Beidi negotiated peace.

The soldiers who died on the land of Qinzhou and Yongzhou died as humble as weeds, without any value.

And after returning to the capital, he will also face the questioning of Zhao Heng and the powerful families.

Someone has to bear the blame for the failure of the Northern Expedition.

Emperor Zhao Heng will not bear it, and the second prince will be protected by the Han family.

He, Yang Feng, will be the best scapegoat.

After all, Beidi and Dasong have negotiated peace, and they, the pro-war faction, will be suppressed to cater to the atmosphere of peace talks.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt ashamed.

If he was not worried about his poor granddaughter who was still in the capital.

He just wanted to commit suicide in Xiancheng to thank the world.

He was in a daze all the way, and Yang Feng didn't even feel that he had entered Wuguan.

Until Dou Wei stood in front of him.

"Yang Feng, you are a veteran who has fought hundreds of battles, but you have made a Northern Expedition like this. When I return to the capital, I will face the impeachment of you in front of the emperor." Dou Wei shouted.

Yang Feng glanced at Dou Wei lightly, "If you want to accuse someone, you will find a pretext. I, Yang Feng, know that I am doomed, so why do you have to make a fuss."

After that, he ignored Dou Wei and rode south.

He was going back to the capital.

Dou Wei smiled coldly, and asked people to prepare carriages and horses, and also went to the capital.

…

When Yang Feng and Dou Wei returned to Jinling.

The Beidi troops in Qinzhou and Yongzhou gathered at Xiaoguan.

They will return to the grassland through Xiaoguan.

After Temuta led his troops to evacuate from Wuguan, he joined forces with Mule Hongzhen in Wengcheng one day later.

At the same time, he told his father Khan about the content of the conversation with Dou Wei.

"Well, that's enough, and we just need to wait and see what happens next." Mule Hongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he said to Temuta: "Let's start implementing our plan."

A bloodthirsty look flashed in Temuta's eyes.

In this northern expedition, the weakness of Xiliang and Ma Jin's troops was seen by them.

So after the peace talks, his father Khan decided to take the opportunity to kill Xiliang Chanyu Murong Hao when passing through Xiliang territory, and officially incorporate Xiliang into Beidi.

In this way, only Beidi will remain in the entire north.

At the same time, eating up Xiliang can also make up for the losses in this war between Beidi and Dasong.

The most important thing is that this plan is not only aimed at Xiliang, but also at King Yan.

After they get rid of Murong Hao and take charge of the territory of Xiliang, they will move all the people of Xiliang to Ningjindusi and establish the Xiliang King's tent.

In this way, they will have enough population to supplement the troops, build Ningjindusi, and prevent the harassment of King Yan's troops.

Of course, the most important thing is that they will help Beidi win the contest with King Yan and eventually kill King Yan.

"Yes, father Khan." Temuta looked excited.

From the beginning, his proposition was to eliminate Xiliang, not to form an alliance with Xiliang.

Now, he finally got what he wanted.

Ulanba stood beside his father. This plan was his father's first step to deal with King Yan.

But he was not very optimistic about it.

King Yan made Yanguan and Yanshan Mountain Road like an iron barrel.

No matter how big the attack they launched, King Yan could repel them with Xiongguan and artillery.

The result of the contest would be a lose-lose situation.

In his opinion, the way to destroy the King of Yan and Dasong should be to go to the Rus described by Ivan.

According to Ivan, the King of Yan is just an ant and an elephant compared to the Rus.

But although he kept persuading his father Khan, his father Khan was not interested in this.

In his father Khan's opinion, the Northern Di did not need to beg for help from the enemy.

"One day, you will believe me." Ulanba sighed helplessly.

...

Yancheng.

When the Northern Di army set out for Xiliang.

A loud noise from the Science and Technology School startled Zhao Xu, who was meeting the governor of the three southern counties.

"What happened?" Liu Fu shuddered.

The sound was similar to someone firing a cannon in the city.

"In short, the governor is the official of the parents of a county. The people have lowered their status and called you the parents. You must be worthy of the three words of the parents. After taking office, you must be diligent in government affairs and not abuse your power to cause chaos." Zhao Xu vaguely guessed something.

But there was only one sentence left to explain, so he just finished it.

"I will remember your teachings." The three county governors bowed.

Zhao Xu nodded.

These three were all outstanding students in the School of Government Affairs.

After Zhao Heng gave him the three southern counties, he asked Liu Fu to organize an examination in the School of Government Affairs to select officials for the three counties.

During this period, officials and students in the School of Government Affairs listened to his lectures and learned different governance methods.

At the same time, they also learned a lot of practical experience from the incumbent officials in the practical courses of the school.

Although they were still selected through examinations.

But their practice and theory have reached a certain level.

Relying on the knowledge he imparted, it was more than enough to surpass the traditional feudal officials of Da Song.

Moreover, these three people were county magistrates before and had official experience. After they take office, they will definitely bring a different vitality to the three southern counties.

"Mi Xuan, Zangchuan Yi, Cheng Tu." Zhao Xu read the names of the three people and handed them their official uniforms and official seals.

The conferring ceremony ended then.

Liu Fu and the three of them were ordered to go back first, and Zhao Xu walked out immediately.

Xu Lie has already gathered his guards at the door.

Having been with Zhao Xu for a long time, he knew that King Yan would definitely rush over to take a look.

Seeing King Yan coming, he immediately led his guards to follow him, all the way to the Science and Technology School.

At this time, the science and technology school was in chaos.

Walking inside, Zhao Xu heard faint moans.

He knew that there must be an explosion in the science and technology school's laboratory.

But it is not clear whether it is Qu Sheng's chemistry laboratory or Wang Chong's physics laboratory.

But after walking a few more steps, turning a corner, and seeing a puddle of water in the physics laboratory, he understood.

"Steam explosion?" Zhao Xu asked.

His arrival naturally attracted the students' attention.

Wang Chonghui was soon called over.

Seeing that the back of Wang Chong's hand was red, as if it was hot water, he couldn't help but ask.

Before the Northern Expedition started, he ordered Wang Chong to conduct steam experiments to prepare for the next step of developing steam engines.

Wang Chong had been preparing, but he didn't expect it to explode today.
