......
Xijing, the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yang Yan also soon received news of the Heifengyu Incident in Hebei.
He sat alone in the study, looking at the map for a long time without saying a word.
"Sure enough... Zhao Muyun took action."
He muttered to himself, his tone filled with mixed emotions, a mixture of expected understanding and an indescribable sense of frustration.
"Thunderous tactics, precise and ruthless... First save the Crown Prince, then attack Jinyang. Xiao Lie, it's over."
He knew very well that after this battle, Zhao Muyun's reputation would be at its peak, and Crown Prince Yinji would certainly be grateful to him and rely on him for support.

Accelerate infiltration, win over key figures at all costs, and seize military power...
He even began to secretly instruct to strengthen business exchanges with Shuozhou, especially to purchase some of Shuozhou's specialties "honeycomb coal" and "cigarettes".
This is not only to understand the strength of Shuozhou, but also a way to show goodwill and reserve a channel of contact.
