After Yue Jianghong returned to Kaifeng, the news of Xie Xuan'an's defeat soon leaked through unofficial channels.

Considering the overall situation, Yue Jianghong was still reluctant to break with Xinlan and the others, but it was necessary to hit their morale, so he secretly released the news.

Needless to say, the morale of the Yue family's army was greatly boosted, and the confidence of the Lu family, who was in charge of fighting against the Xie family, was also greatly improved, and it didn't take long for them to announce that they would conduct military exercises near Xuzhou.

Of course, this is all based on the preparation for the start of the civil war, and in fact the people of the world are unwilling to start fighting. Shimin did not doubt that he could win the civil war between the north and the south, but he always had his eyes on foreign countries, so how could he make senseless consumption at home?

Therefore, while preparing for war, he sent middle- and lower-level officials who could speak well to various parts of the south to vigorously publicize his future national policy to the people, tell him his desire for domestic peace, and constantly win the hearts of the people.

In the propaganda process, these officials did not talk about the southern forces' desire to rebel, but focused on advocating the imperial court, so that the local forces could only tear their faces to stop their "legitimate" lobbying, but at the moment when Xie Xuan'an was seriously injured, a rash war would only make the already small chance of victory even more slim. And if you don't do it, if you don't do it, people's identification with the new emperor will be deepened day by day, and it will be too late to think of the soldiers.

But this is all a conspiracy, and the real trap is to create contradictions within the southern forces. The hot-headed will want to do it right away, the self-confident will want to stall for time in order to find a solution, and the mediocre will want to get the best of both worlds but have no choice but to achieve nothing. After this toss, the south was self-defeating.

However, these are all expected situations, and the dominant forces in the south are Xinlan, Liu Tian, Xie Xuanan and others, and they must observe the actual situation and see the moves.

However, what happened next surprised them a little.

Far from being harassed, the officials who went south were warmly welcomed by the local government and treated as guests, and Shu Han even dragged the officials to the border to appease the people.

Fang Ruhui, who was in charge of the outcome, was a little confused, and then began to think about what conspiracy was contained in this, but Yue Jianghong thought for a long time, but nodded lightly, showing a look of relief.

The Great Song Dynasty has had many disasters this year, and also used troops against Gumeng, which is both repairing and sending troops, all of which cost a lot of money, if it were not for the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the people would have been miserable, Rao is so, and the soaring prices have also made the people dissatisfied. And the remarks of these southbound officials, if you don't consider the hidden mysteries, are extremely ordinary words of appeasement, although people understand that the official words are all beautiful words, it is better to say than not to say it, it is better to say it elsewhere, the lack of talent in Shu Han is not a matter of the first day, there is a court to send people on their behalf, and their warm welcome attitude is not difficult to understand.

Fang Ruhui would not be so stupid as not to understand this function, but he didn't want to believe that the intentions of Xinlan and the others would be so simple, but Yue Jianghong, who had the world in mind, understood that everything was so simple.

However, because of this, Yue Jianghong's preparations have become more active, he knows that the world needs people like Xinlan Liu Tian, and in order to make this group of people submit, they must rely on strong force!

At this time, Fang Ruhui also had an epiphany, the reason why the southern forces were not afraid of lobbying was nothing more than that they would soon take action, and he hurriedly mobilized all parts of the north to transport armaments, grain and grass over to actively prepare for war.

Soon three days passed, and there was no movement in the south, it didn't matter, which only showed that they couldn't hold it anymore.

A total of seven days passed, and Fang Ruhui immediately ordered everyone to cheer up, because the enemy was waiting for them to lose their spirits.

Fifteen days have passed, and Fang Ruhui ordered the soldiers to start taking turns to rest, but the props used for reconnaissance have been sent, and he can know immediately if there is any trouble, and he still has news channels for the Bright Sect......

Generally speaking, it is impossible for such soldiers to slack off in a month, but the problem is that they have passed ten or twenty days nervously, but there is no movement in the south, and there are rumors that they can take one day off a week, and this psychological gap makes them more tired than when facing the Gumeng.

Fang Ruhui thought that this was the result that the southerners wanted, but until the thirty-second day came, there was still no movement in the south, and he couldn't understand what Xinlan and the others were thinking.

The situation of Yue's army was better, because Yue Jianghong found that the southern forces had only been preparing for war, and had no desire to divide the war, so he let the army rotate and rest in the first week.

The soldiers could rest, but not the upper echelons of the Yue family, who gathered together every day to study what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourds in the south.

Could it be that they are waiting for Xie Xuan'an to recover? Some people thought so, but Yue Jianghong denied this possibility.

If you really want Xie Xuan'an to recover, the fastest way is for Xinlan or Hua Shuangyun to go over to heal his injuries, and Hefei to Jiujiang Province has the eyeliner of Jinyi Weibu, and there are people from the Bright Sect who are hanging around within the southern forces, but no matter which way back clear information, Xinlan and Hua Shuangyun have been in Xiangyue all the time, and the two of them have returned to Xiangyue Academy to take a few classes on the way.

Many people may think that this is a suspicious formation, but in fact, Xinlan used unmonitorable means to avoid monitoring...... As you can imagine, Yue Jianghong and the others are naturally not stupid.

It was still the power sent by the light, and they sent someone who could detect the reality of Xinlan, and confirmed that Xiangyue's Xinlan was genuine, and Huashuangyun was no exception.

Is it possible to send a doppelganger to help with the treatment or something...... This time, the southern forces made an upright move - Xie Xuanan went south to Lingnan for a vacation, and he also had a good conversation with the officials sent there to lobby.

That's it, Xie Xuan'an didn't plan to leave Lingnan Province after that, and discussed with the people of the Ma family how to treat the wastewater discharged from the upper reaches of the Pearl River to the "stinky port", and he has not returned to Jiangdong yet, but according to the people of the Guangming faction, Xie Xuan'an's injuries are only half over, and looking at his appearance, it seems that he intends to let it recover naturally.

This...... What's going on in the South?

Including Sima Shimin, they were a little incomprehensible.

However, what they didn't expect was that the situation would change in the past few days.

……

"It's done. ”

Yes, Xinlan returned to Xiangyue Academy, but not to go back to school or teach, it was just incidental, what she wanted to do was to continue her previous research - mass production of high-grade body strengthening pills.

This is a good thing, but the problem is that Xinlan wants to make the research results public to the various forces of the Great Song Dynasty, even the northern forces that are now hostile to them.

It sounds very brain-dead, and Xinlan does not deny this, but no matter what the next result is, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will become stronger, and if a country wants to maintain peace forever, it is naturally inseparable from the strength of the country.

Well, that's right, it's all about fulfilling Sima Di's dying wishes.

Well, it's a wish, not an order, and it has nothing to do with the power of the gold medal, it's Xinlan who wants to do it.

And with that done, she could finally get moving.

It's just that she has to apologize to the people who are waiting for her, after all, she has spent a month, and in the end she has not given her side any advantage.

"What nonsense, with this medicine, we have already won half of it. Liu Tian, who was far away in Shu, rejected her apology.

"That's right, sister, we must be the victorious this time. Yan Ya agreed.

In this way, as the mass production method was passed to Shimin, the Xie and Yang families finally began to take action.
