Two days later, more than 200,000 Pan Mei's army arrived in Xiangcheng. Zhao Kuangyi sent Cheng Dexuan to meet Pan Mei. Pan Mei refused to enter the city to attend the reception banquet, and sent Lu Qi and Wang Yansheng to see him. Lu Qi told the messenger that he was here to assist the war, not to listen to Xuan. If Pan Damasaki was angry, he could come to his military camp and he was willing to be respectfully reprimanded.

Naturally, Pan Mei would not go to Lu Qi's military camp, and knew the attitude of Lu Tianfeng and Zhao Kuangyi. The three sides were trapped in the situation of each other's fortress. Pan Mei had no choice but to let the secret envoy from the imperial court send people to ask Kaifeng Prefecture for instructions at 800 miles.

A day later, the Emperor of Zhou received a secret letter. After opening it, he remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he covered his chest with his right hand and then vomited a small mouthful of blood on the dragon's desk. The eunuch standing at the station was so scared that he spread it to the imperial physician. The Emperor of Zhou did not fall into a coma after vomiting blood, but his face was astonishingly blue.

"Transfer to Zhang Yongde." The Emperor of Zhou said instructed.

The imperial physician came and used medicine for the Zhou emperor's acupuncture. Zhang Yongde was anxious to hear the news. The Zhou emperor lay on the couch in Wende Hall, waved his hand to let others go out, and then asked Zhang Yongde to take the secret letter of the dragon case and sit next to the couch to watch.

"Yongde, this time, I miscalculated it. I didn't expect that Lu Tianfeng would refuse to join Pan Mei. I think that Lu Tianfeng has always followed military orders, but I can't figure out how he knew the disadvantages. It should be normal for him to join the main army." Emperor Zhou said with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, I can't solve this matter, but I know that Lu Tianfeng has experienced many dangers. As far as I know, some scouts who have experienced dangers have a supernatural ability that can be sensitive to dangers." Zhang Yongde replied.

But he had another explanation in his mind, that the strategy of Emperor Zhou seemed natural, but in fact it was a bit far-fetched. If he was leading the army outside, he would be vigilant and not join the Pan Mei army. In addition, when Lu Tianfeng left Jingzhao Mansion, he had already transferred 10,000 cavalry to his subordinates, which shows that Lu Tianfeng would not believe any of the commander-in-chief of the Zhou army.

"What do you think?" Emperor Zhou asked whispered.

"Does Your Majesty want to kill Lu Tianfeng?" Zhang Yongde asked back.

"I did not want to kill him, but wanted to imprison him. Then I attacked and transferred the military power of Hexi, let Hehuang and Longxi return to the court, and then took him back to Kaifeng Prefecture to be a prosperous and prosperous son-in-law. I don't want him to occupy the west for too long. Lu Tianfeng was in Hexi and was regarded as a god by the foreign clans. If he was allowed to govern Hexi for a long time, Hexi would become stronger and stronger." The Emperor Zhou whispered.

"Your Majesty, I'm secretly saying that Pan Mei has not been unfavorable to Lu Tianfeng. It's just that Lu Tianfeng refused to see Pan Mei. I feel that Lu Tianfeng may not know His Majesty's strategy. He is just out of his own safety and does not want to be controlled by others. I think that Your Majesty can let Pan Mei stop dealing with Lu Tianfeng and attack Jingzhou first." Zhang Yongde said.

Emperor Zhou nodded, and Zhang Yongde said again: "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng is so alert. Even if he enters Jingzhou, he will not give Pan Mei the opportunity to siege. To deal with Lu Tianfeng, he can only be in Kaifeng Prefecture. If Lu Tianfeng does not know His Majesty's strategy, he may even come back to Kaifeng Prefecture boldly."

The Emperor Zhou nodded and whispered: "I want to seize Zhao Kuangyi's military power this time. I didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyi would not go to see Pan Mei. It should be my anxiety that Lu Tianfeng arrived in Xiangzhou first and gave Zhao Kuangyi a warning."

"Your Majesty, I think that even if Lu Tianfeng did not reach the top, Zhao Kuangyi would be wary of it, because Pan Mei brought too much military force. If it had a hundred thousand military force, Zhao Kuangyi would not be surprised psychologically." Zhang Yongde explained himself.

The Emperor Zhou nodded and whispered: "I received a secret report from Xiangzhou, saying that the Wei State had been on an envoy to Xiangzhou and sought to jointly attack Jingzhou. After hearing this, I sent someone to issue a secret order to Pan Mei, allowing him to respond to Zhao Kuangyi. I asked Pan Mei to bring 200,000 troops to Xiangzhou, mainly to advance Jingzhou, and seize Zhao Kuangyi's military power was to follow the trend."

Zhang Yongde nodded and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. In fact, Your Majesty's strategy is free to advance and retreat. It does not make any clear statement, and it will not cause turmoil in the army."

The Emperor of Zhou nodded and asked whispered: "Yongde, what are your mistakes in governing the country?"

Zhang Yongde was silent, and the Emperor Zhou whispered: "You are closest relatives to me, I want to hear your opinions."

"Your Majesty, I have said before, why did Qin fall in the second lifetime and why did the Han Dynasty lay a foundation for six hundred years?" Zhang Yongde replied.

"You have said before that the Qin State died in the second generation because it was not flexible and should not continue to govern the country with the Legalists as the main rule. The Han Dynasty was able to last for a long time because it respected Confucianism and Taoism, and balanced the authority of civil and military." Emperor Zhou whispered.

"I know that Your Majesty wants to unify the world in his lifetime, so he respects military merits and underestimates Confucianism and suppresses Buddhism. He does not want literary affairs and Buddhist affairs to weaken the fighting spirit of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and consumes limited financial resources. However, Your Majesty's gentle literary affairs to suppress Buddhism has caused people to lose their faith." Zhang Yongde said.

Emperor Zhou was silent. After a while, Zhang Yongde said: "Since ancient times, the rule of emperors and the belief in heaven have complemented each other. Lu Tianfeng has been good at using faith to win people's hearts. He connected the Buddhas believed in by the foreign clan with himself, so that the foreign clan worshipped Buddhas was worshipping him. Therefore, Lu Tianfeng was able to quickly return to Hexi, because Lu Tianfeng used the foreign clan to believe in gods for hundreds of years and gained hundreds of years of prestige in the hearts of the hearts. Compared with gods, humans are weak."

The Emperor Zhou nodded and whispered: "I actually appreciate Lu Tianfeng very much, but Lu Tianfeng made me panic. I have been working tirelessly for many years, but I feel inferior to him."

"I don't think that Your Majesty's efforts are inferior to Lu Tianfeng. Lu Tianfeng just a chance to gain power in the west. The Central Plains is a place of four battles, and people's livelihood and external troubles are the top priority. Especially in the north, if Lu Tianfeng is replaced by Lu Tianfeng, I don't think he will be better than Yang Yewei."

The Emperor of Zhou smiled faintly and whispered: "You are not convinced either."

"I can't convince a young man for a lifetime," Zhang Yongde said gently.

The Zhou Emperor smiled, and Zhang Yongde politely said, "Your Majesty, I will avoid it first."

The Emperor of Zhou nodded and said, "Go and talk to you tomorrow."

Zhang Yongde got up and put the secret fold in the couch, then respectfully gave the salute, turned around and walked out. As soon as Zhang Yongde went out, more than a dozen men and women immediately rushed in outside the hall, naturally the concubines in the harem headed by the empress and the children of the Zhou emperor.

"Your Majesty." The Queen of Great Zhou captured the Zhou emperor's right hand and looked at him with concern.

"I have nothing to do, I'm just dizzy." The Emperor of Zhou smiled and comforted his relatives.

The Queen of Great Zhou nodded. The imperial physician and eunuch had received the emperor's instructions before and did not dare to spread the word that the emperor vomited blood, but the Queen of Great Zhou actually knew that the Emperor's serious injury had not fully recovered.

"Father, Father," the children shouted softly. Emperor Zhou turned his head and smiled and nodded, and finally his eyes fell on Yu Wei's face.

"Yuwei, Lu Tianfeng left Kaifeng Prefecture, and his family business should not be lost. In the future, you and Xianghe will leave the palace to live in the Duke's Mansion of Xijin County." The Zhou Emperor said gently.

"Father, my daughter should serve my father in the palace." Yuwei said with concern.

"In this palace, you can come back to see your father at any time." The Emperor of Zhou said gently.

"Father, daughter and Xianghe are not married yet."

"Okay, it's my palace that I asked you to go, don't say too much." The Queen of Great Zhou suddenly interrupted Yu Wei's whisper.

Yuwei was shocked and hurriedly said respectfully to Xianghe: "My daughter follows the Queen's decree."

The queen nodded, turned to look at the Emperor Zhou, and said gently: "Your Majesty says less."

The Emperor of Zhou smiled and nodded, and the queen turned her head and ordered: "Stay the imperial concubine, go all the others."
