"White Lotus Sect?"

Although he had already thought of it in his heart, Xia Xun still had a trace of surprise on his face.

Tang Yaoju smiled and said, "Yes, it is the White Lotus Sect. If it weren't for Brother Yang's identity now, although you and I had a fateful relationship, my brother would not have revealed this matter to you, let alone pulled you into the gang. My brother doesn't want you anything, he just wants to help you. But only if you become a brother in my sect, can I ask a few Dharma protectors in the sect to help you, so that you can change your face, and live freely from now on, and you are no longer afraid of being wanted by the imperial court. ”

Xia Xun now understands what the Dharma protector is, the Dharma protector is not like the so-called Dharma protector in martial arts novels, they are all heroes with outstanding martial arts, and they usually do not hold administrative positions in sects or gangs, so they are given a Dharma protector with only an honorific title. In fact, the so-called Dharma protectors are believers who have contributed more to the church and gangs, so their prestige and status are higher.

Tang Yaoju dared to shield him, and was confident that he could protect him, then Tang Yaoju's church must already have considerable potential power in the local area, and at least some local squires and people in the government with reputation and status have become disciples of their sect. However, Xia Xun is not a special envoy of the imperial court, and when he heard the news, he could only refuse: "Thank you brother for your kindness, but my brother doesn't want to join the ......."

Tang Yaoju's face changed, and he said unhappily: "Why, Brother Yang can't believe me, do you really think that my White Lotus Sect is like the one propagated by the imperial court, what kind of evil cult of male thieves and female prostitutes?" ”

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Brother Tang misunderstood, my brother has a family, a business, and a family, and now it has already been arranged in a proper place, and it won't be long before my brother has to go to see them, and it is impossible to stay here for a long time." ”

Tang Yaoju was disappointed when he heard this, Xia Xun thought about it, and reminded: "Brother Tang, it's just that it's not teaching, I know that since the Southern Song Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has spread all over the world, passed down from generation to generation, and it doesn't necessarily cause any trouble, but since the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi, the imperial court has been very strict with the White Lotus Sect. ”

Tang Yaoju's eager expression on his face turned cold, and he sighed softly and said, "Brother Yang is both civil and military, I have the heart to accept it." If there is a big chaos today, it is the time for my generation of heroes to show their talents, I can't imagine that Brother Yang is going to go into hiding, it's just that everyone has their own ambitions, and I don't force it on you. ”

Xia Xun's face changed slightly, and he asked urgently: "Show off your skills?" What does Brother Tang want to do? Listen to the good words of the brothers, Brother Tang must not have any plans, once the White Lotus Sect wants to take advantage of the chaos to raise troops, not only the imperial court will be strictly encircled and suppressed, even if the Yan army arrives, it must be unforgiving, the current chaos is just the internal dispute of the Zhu Ming royal family, no matter which side, they will never allow the White Lotus Sect to take advantage of the fire to move the idea of the Ming Dynasty, especially at this moment, a large number of soldiers and horses of the imperial court are gathered in Shandong Mansion, and the slightest wind and grass will immediately be a catastrophe. ”

Tang Yaoju laughed: "Brother, you are too worried, I said that I would show my skills, but I just took advantage of the chaos in the world to absorb more sectarians and form a crowd to protect myself, where do you want to rebel?" Didn't you see that I brought my wife and children with me, did you rebel like this? ”

When Xia Xun heard it, it was also reasonable, so he smiled with relief......

"This king has received definite news that Li Jiujiang is scheduled to attack Beiping again in April next year, and at present, he is building twelve cities in Dezhou, and it seems that he no longer has the intention of succeeding in a war, and this is a long-term confrontation with us."

Zhang Yu listened to what Zhu Di said, and said with some worry: "The imperial court is rich in all parts of the world, and there is a continuous supply of soldiers and material resources, while the resources we have are limited, once it is consumed for a long time, it will be very disadvantageous to us." ”

"Of course, this king knows."

Zhu Di smiled coldly: "Li Jinglong doesn't have such insight, this must be ...... Hey"

He knew that this must be his brother-in-law Xu Huizu who gave Li Jinglong a plan, and he hated it so much, but he didn't want to say it in public, although everyone knew it, but it was a discouraged thing to say clearly that his brother-in-law firmly stood on the emperor's side and embarrassed him.

Zhu Neng said: "In this case, Your Highness, we should also seize the time to strengthen the defense of Beiping City, and at the same time, we should take advantage of the fact that they have not yet sent troops to pacify the rear as soon as possible, so as not to constantly harass the rear when fighting with Li Jinglong." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "This king has this intention, and if he wants to consolidate the rear, then there are two choices, one is to attack Liaodong, and the other is to attack Xuanfu." One northeast and one northwest can be inserted in the back of the king's abdomen at a critical moment, which is a great trouble, and the king wants to discuss it with you to see where it is appropriate to attack. ”

As soon as the generals heard this, they immediately began to talk about it, expressing their opinions, and the argument was very lively, Zhu Di and Monk Daoyan sat on the top, just listening, not speaking.

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, relied on his identity and did not speak at first, but when he saw that the generals could not hold each other, it was difficult to reach a conclusion, so he said to Zhu Di: "Fourth brother, I thought that we could attack Liaodong." Liaodong soldiers and horses can go out of Shanhaiguan at any time, directly approaching Beiping, and the disease is the greatest. Although Shanhaiguan is unbreakable, but Songting Pass is now in our hands, as long as we go out of Songting Pass, and then attack Liaodong in the east outside the pass, Shanhaiguan cannot be moved, even if it is dangerous, what is the use? ”

Zhang Yu thought about it, but said: "His Royal Highness King Ning, the minister thinks that it is most appropriate to attack Xuanfu." ”

King Ning was more familiar with Liaodong and was sure to defeat Liaodong, so he was very unconvinced by what Zhang Yu said, glanced at him, and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Zhang Yudao: "The reason is very simple, the supply of soldiers and horses in Liaodong mainly depends on the transportation of the Guannei, after His Royal Highness raised the army and Jingjing, he has cut off the connection between the Central Plains and Liaodong, and Liaodong is now completely dependent on the grain and rice accumulated before and the materials extracted from the Jurchen tribes, unable to attack Beiping in the south, they only have the strength to defend, and have no offensive strength, which is not a top priority." ”

King Ning said: "So, the Xuanfu Datong area is a powerful threat to us?" It should be known that Liaodong is different from Xuanfu. The King of Liao took the initiative to surrender to the imperial court, and his old troops and horses naturally obeyed the dispatch of the imperial court. Xuanfu is not, now if the acting king is here, he will lead the troops to attack my Beiping, that is our henchmen, but unfortunately, the acting king has been poisoned by the emperor before me and the fourth brother, and now the family is imprisoned in Sichuan.

The acting king was in the old department of the Xuanfu, and the emperor did not dare to use it; The soldiers and horses of the imperial court in Xuanfu have to be used to check and balance the old department of the acting king, in this case, the possibility of the northwest sending troops to attack the heart of our Beiping is not much greater than that of Liaodong. ”

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, and said: "What His Royal Highness King Ning said is very true, in terms of threat alone, fighting Liaodong or Northwest is the same for us, the reason why the minister thinks that it is necessary to fight the northwest is because there are more benefits to fighting the northwest." ”

Ning Wangqi said: "What's so special about hitting the northwest...... Ah, yes. ”

King Ning is not a mediocre person, in fact, Zhiying is the best, compared to Zhang Yu, what he lacks is the tempering of actual combat, just halfway through the words, he understood that the Northeast was a barren land at that time, the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison mainly came from the supply of Guannei, Xuanfu was not, Shanxi had few wars, when the Central Plains heroes fought for hegemony and suffered heavy casualties, the northwest area has been peaceful, and then the reason why a large number of immigrants from Shanxi to Shandong was because Shanxi's population was vigorous and did not be affected by the military disaster.

The agricultural industry in the northwest region is also relatively developed, although it is not as good as the land of fish and rice in Suhu Lake, but the long-term development of peace and farming, coupled with the fact that the imperial court has reduced or exempted rents and taxes, reclaimed the fields in the fields, and restored the disaster relief and resumption of business, and the border army has settled in the fields, so there is absolutely no problem in terms of grain and rice, and the most serious problem restricting Beiping is grain.

Zhu Di listened to their discussion, and couldn't help but smile, in fact, he already had an idea in his heart, asking the generals and the generals, just to unify the understanding of the generals through this debate process. In addition, it is also a way for him to train generals.

If there is a lack of generals who can take on great responsibilities in the DPRK, it is not true, although the old commanders and generals are almost dead, but the Mesozoic generals who followed them in the east and west to fight a hundred battles are now mature, and there are many generals and commanders, if one of these people is selected to lead the 500,000 army, Zhu Di will never be in such a fortunate situation as he is now.

Fortunately, the emperor sent Li Jinglong, and even more fortunately, Li Jinglong's 500,000 army was defeated, and he was not dismissed from his post and asked for his guilt, and he became the commander of the three armies of the 600,000 army, but none of the generals under Li Jinglong was experienced in a hundred battles, and it was not easy to match.

What makes King Yan laugh is that everyone wants to win the battle, but he is actually a little afraid of winning the battle now, because as long as he wins another big battle, Li Jinglong, the pig, may be difficult to continue to sit in this position.

On the other hand, what is on the Yan King's side? Zhang Yu, the highest-ranking of the five armies among his generals, was originally only the commander of one of the left guards in the three guards of Yanshan, and he only led a mere 3,000 soldiers and horses at most, he was more clever than those generals in the imperial court? Xu Huizu, Qu Neng, Ping Baoer, Yu Tongyuan, and Teng Ju gathered in Texas this time, any of them are veterans who are only stronger than him, but also have superior troops, Zhu Di must train his generals step by step, and train his generals into famous generals who can stand alone.

Famous generals are not born to be famous generals, they all grew up in actual combat.

Seeing that the generals had reached a preliminary consensus, Zhu Di smiled slightly and said: "Shimei's words are reasonable, then let's use this time to strengthen the defense of Beiping on the one hand, and attack Xuanfu on the other hand, to support the war with war." Besides, you don't think about how to use this battle to get us some other benefits? ”

"And the benefits?" The generals were very surprised, and they all looked around, but no one could answer, and the monk Daoyan smiled and stroked his beard and said: "Generals, Li Jinglong is reorganizing his army and preparing to send troops to attack my Beiping in early April. We attacked Xuanfu, Li Jinglong's soldiers and horses were the closest, did he send troops to help? Now that the weather is bitterly cold, and he is led to a circle to the northwest, even if he can still send troops in April, will his army not be exhausted by then? ”

"Wow!" The generals woke up like a dream, one by one, their eyes shining.

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Let's fight, we can't let him be idle, just walk him Li Jiujiang's legs and feet, let him follow!" ”

Lao Jia was extremely angry, scolded the shopkeeper Xia in person, returned home in a daze, cut a villain and began to poke and poke, the little paper man poked and suddenly came back to his senses, that was his food and clothing parents, offended others, where to earn money to support his family in the future?

Lao Jia panicked, and hurriedly ran to Baiquan Hun Tang with a shy face to say something to the shopkeeper, Xia Xun was busy using the second plan, how could he have time to pay attention to him, and drove him out, Lao Jia was furious, returned home and cut a paper man, and continued to poke and poke with a big needle on the sole of his shoe......

If so, he poked until the seventh day of the first month, Baiquan Hun Tang started, and Lao Jia rubbed there cheekily, and was surprised to find that the shopkeeper had actually changed. After inquiring from others, Lao Jia realized that it was said that the old father of the shopkeeper Xia was seriously ill, so the shopkeeper Xia hurriedly took Hun Tang out and rushed back to the north in a hurry. Lao Jia Dale, I didn't expect to have such a miraculous effect by poking the villain.

The new shopkeeper's surname is Xu, called Xu Jiang, who doesn't look as easy to talk to as Xia Xun, but Lao Jia said with a smile, Xu Jiang actually allowed him to work here, Lao Jia was overjoyed, his job was finally saved, and the only thing that made him sad and unspeakable was: The young sister-in-law is gone......

Dezhou Wharf, ten miles away from Dezhou City, this place is very lively when the ships come and go in the season, businessmen and passengers, stevedores, dragons and snakes are mixed and the most chaotic. On the official road in the distance, a group of Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets came and went, sometimes mixed with the servants carrying shovels and pickaxes, while on the dock were low-priced brothels and smoky semi-public gambling houses.

From time to time, soldiers in civilian clothes would steal some military supplies, first go to the black market behind a row of warehouses on the dock to exchange some money, and then plunge into the gambling house, and those who lost returned to the barracks empty-handed and listlessly, and those who won went out of the door of the gambling house and plunged into the door of the brothel, and finally returned to the barracks empty-handed and "listless".

"Give me the Tang Yaoju who stared at the construction site of Baojiacheng, yes! There is nothing to do, just to watch his every move. ”

In a small room between the underground gambling house and the half-closed brothel, Xia Xun gave an order, and one of his subordinates hurriedly walked out. Xia Xun is not at ease, if the big war between the Ming army and the Yan army is used, and there is any trouble in Shandong, it will really bring disaster to the country and the people, Tang Yaoju may not be bad, but who wants to expect those so-called righteous soldiers from ordinary people to be really more disciplined than officers and soldiers, that is, the head is kicked by a donkey, and this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.

"Alas, this side is plotting the big thing of King Yan, and the White Lotus Sect has come to intervene again, what a mess!"

Xia Xun just sighed with emotion, and heard a coquettish and enchanting voice from behind the wooden wall on the left: "Ah, ah~~ah~~~, good brother, good man, hard, hard, the slave family is so happy!" Immediately after that, from behind the wooden wall on the right, a group of men shouted wildly: "Throw a leopard, kill big and small, kill, kill, kill!" ”

"Damn, this is the place for me! Alas, my gang of flying dragon spies still lack training......"

Xia Xun smiled bitterly and sighed.
