The tacit understanding between Lu Zheng and Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian was easy to achieve, because it was beneficial for the three parties to cooperate with each other, but it was not beneficial to divide each other.
Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian were on an errand in the center of the imperial court, and they were originally full of ambition, thinking about whether they could do a big job, and even be able to support the lintels of the Cao family and the Zhao family, and even become a top wealthy lord!
It's a pity that their buttocks in the capital haven't been hot yet, the Dakang Dynasty is in chaos, they can't stay in the capital, and Emperor Xinde won't let people go at this moment, they can only go to Jiangnan, but what about the two rivers?
Once the Liaodong Iron Cavalry really broke through Mao'er Mountain, the Lianghe Plain would be their battlefield, and the Cao family and the Zhao family would fall into the hands of thieves, and at that time, would they still be able to be officials in Jinling with peace of mind?
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Zheng can easily grasp their weakness.
"Two adults, I, Lu Zheng, am a cheerful person! Now I have 20,000 Dakang's elites in my hands, this is the key! When the two adults and I worked together to put down the rebellion, we were even more passive than we are today! But in the end, we successfully drove away Long Zhaoyan, recovered the capital, and made a great achievement!
Therefore, the two adults should not be too pessimistic about the current situation, it is still unknown who will kill the deer! Lu Zheng said.
Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian said almost in unison: "The situation of the two rivers can definitely be guaranteed if Lord Lu comes forward, and we are all optimistic." But my lord, the people of Lianghe are suffering, because of the turmoil in Dakang in the past few years, we have sacrificed a lot, especially the 100,000 soldiers of my two provinces, which is almost the limit of what our two rivers can support......"
Both of them are very smart, and they know that Lu Zheng still needs two soldiers to negotiate with them. The Cao family and the Zhao family can't just pay lip service, they have to make money and efforts.
But the two of them were aggrieved, because they each sent out 50,000 elite soldiers, but these elite soldiers were all transferred to the King of Qi, and the two provinces of Henan and Hebei were already empty, and they now only had a little money left to save their lives.
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "You are in a hurry to protect the two rivers, but have the two adults thought about it, I am more anxious than the two adults." If the thieves are allowed to attack the two rivers, they will go south along the Huai River, but they will directly attack the south of the Yangtze River!
Jiangnan is the granary of the world, is the richest place in Dakang, if Jiangnan is lost, Dakang is really going to die! If the country is gone, can our Lu family still exist?
Therefore, Jiangnan is already in full swing to recruit troops, and the grand plan to rebuild the Nanfu Army has been implemented. It's just that the two adults are both people who know the army, and they should know that the rebuilding of the Nanfu Army is not something that can be done in a day, and if there is no shortage of them, it will take at least a year to take shape, and it is too late! โ
Lu Zheng paused, and then said: "The so-called two adults, Lianghe must contribute!" In this way, the two adults will find a way to raise 20,000 troops, and we will arrange a total of 60,000 military horses in Lianghe, which should be almost enough to compete with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry! โ
"Uh......" Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian glanced at each other, and they were extremely shocked in each other's hearts, Lu Zheng was very clear about their family background, and they were the most pressed at the bottom of the box with this little capital, and Lu Zheng actually asked for it all.
However, Lu Zheng is right, only by keeping Jiangnan Dakang can there be hope, and only then can there be hope for the two rivers! It's just that......
Lu Zheng looked at the two of them and hesitated, and immediately said: "Don't worry, two adults, this time our soldiers from the two rivers will definitely not return to the public again, you give me 20,000, once the war is over, I will return you 20,000, where did the soldiers come from!" โ
Lu Zheng leaned into the ears of Cao and Zhao, lowered his voice and said: "It's not as usual now, no matter who you are, you have to keep a little back, otherwise the world will be in chaos, how can we save our lives?" โ
As soon as Lu Zheng said this, Cao and Zhao's faces changed, Lu Zheng's words were a bit intriguing, indeed, the current Dakang is different, can Emperor Xinde still control everything as before?
In this case, the prince's rebellion has just begun, and then I am afraid that the powerful lords will have to support their own troops and self-respect.
Lu Zheng rebuilt the Nanfu Army in Jiangnan, I am afraid that it is not only for Dakang, nor only for the sake of protecting Jiangnan, but that the Lu family needs to take advantage of the troubled times to rise and take this opportunity to regain its former glory.
The two of them thought of this at once, and they were both shocked, and Lu Zheng said again: "Don't worry, two adults, your soldiers are not in vain, I can promise to the two, after the matter is completed, the two of them can get a military salary of 300,000 taels of silver." It's not easy to earn money these days, and the land of the two adults and the two rivers has suffered disasters year after year, this bit of silver is not from the imperial court, and our Lu family will withdraw it, can the two adults rest assured? โ
Lu Zheng This is the last heavy artillery, as soon as this move comes out, Cao and Zhao have no way to resist it! The land of the two rivers is a place where the two rivers are flat, the main income of the Cao and Zhao families depends on the land rent and taxation, and it is too difficult to save silver by selling wheat in these years, although the two are known as the powerful giants, but the development has not been as good as the top giants, the key reason is that the accumulation is not enough, to put it bluntly, it is a lack of silver.
Henan and Hebei provinces have large populations, and it is actually easy to recruit soldiers and horses, if they can exchange soldiers and horses for silver, let the Cao and Zhao families be human traffickers, they are willing to do it!
Immediately, the two of them immediately expressed their attitude, and Lu Zheng exchanged 600,000 taels of silver for 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he finally had a little bottom in his heart. He has already made a decision, the 40,000 soldiers of the two rivers into the Yulin army, all the troops are scattered and crushed, and then beaten and tempered, to set up the rack of the two rivers march and camp in the shortest possible time, with this big frame, Lu Zheng can advance and retreat at any time, with nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Lu Zheng has the confidence to compete with the Liaodong iron cavalry.

Lu Zheng said goodbye to Cao and Zhao, and the second stop was the gate of Sufu.
At this time, in the Su Mansion, Su Xinghai can be said to be looking at Lu Zheng, Emperor Xinde himself ran to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving Su Xinghai as the prime minister, Su Xinghai felt abandoned overnight, and he was panicked!
Not only that, Su Zhi of the Su family followed the defeat of King Qi, and King Qi fled south to the south of the Yangtze River, but Su Zhi sneaked back, and the general of the defeated army returned to the capital, and was immediately imprisoned by Emperor Xinde, thanks to Lu Zheng's intercession, Emperor Xinde let the criminal department release Su Zhi, and now Su Zhi is undoubtedly at a low ebb.
The Su family was originally very beautiful, Su Xinghai was the first assistant, Su Zhi has become more and more famous in recent years, and she has faintly had the demeanor of the future head of the Su family, but all this has fallen apart with the recent events.
Therefore, the Su family at this moment really needs Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng said straight to the point: "What about General Su?" I want to meet him! โ
Su Xinghai said: "Lord Lu, thank you so much this time, Su Zhi was almost buried, fortunately you made a move at a critical time, the current Su family is facing a huge crisis, and I can't sleep at night these days!" โ
Lu Zheng said: "The capital is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, and the Southern Imperial Court will become the center again." Su Xiang, even if you stay in the capital, you have to think carefully about the Su family's road! โ
As soon as Lu Zheng said this, Su Xinghai looked dazed, what he was struggling with recently was this matter, should the capital give up? The Su family is hard to give up the capital!
Lu Zheng said: "Su Xiang, at this time, it is most important to make a decision, whoever wakes up early will have an extra advantage, if it is late, I am afraid that it will fall into a more passive situation!" โ
Su Xinghai's face changed, he understood Lu Zheng's words, Lu Zheng meant that the Su family would do it at this time, go down to Jiangnan as soon as possible, and still occupy a favorable position in Jinling. If it's late, wait for the Duan family and the Zuo family to start acting, I'm afraid they will be more passive, Su Xinghai gritted his teeth, but it was difficult to make up his mind after all! And at this time, Su Zhi came over.
I haven't seen Su Zhi for a few months, he is a lot haggard, and when he saw Lu Zheng, his eyes regained their brightness, and he bowed to Lu Zheng in a proper manner, and said: "Su Zhi thanks Lord Lu for his help, if it weren't for the adults to help me intercede, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for me to see the light of day!" โ
Lu Zheng stared at him and gave Su Xinghai a look, Su Xinghai suddenly came back to his senses, and he raised his hand gently: "You all go down!" โ
The subordinates all went down, and Lu Zheng stared at Su Zhi and said, "Master Su, tell me the truth, how many soldiers and horses are still in the hands of King Qi?" Is it really defeated? โ
Su Zhi's face changed greatly, and he got up suddenly, and Lu Zheng said: "The elite soldiers and horses in the hands of King Qi are still there, but you Jin Wuwei have suffered a loss, and you have been killed and wounded, aren't you?" โ
"I ......" Su Zhi snorted, stomped his feet and said: "King Qi is very treacherous, he let Jin Wuwei be the vanguard, saying that he led the army behind as a backup, who knows...... Who knew that once our Jin Wuwei and the Liaodong Army fought, he himself fled and disappeared.
How can I, 20,000 Jin Wuwei, defeat the Liaodong Army in Shandong? There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and I ...... I...... Hate it......"
When Su Zhi said this, she was so excited that she couldn't help beating her chest, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Sure enough, there is a tacit understanding between Long Lingxiu and Long Zhaorui!" โ
Lu Zheng said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Even if you go to jail, you should tell me!
Also, you are the vanguard, there are no other armies around you, are you a pig's brain? Do you really think that Long Zhaorui gave you all the opportunities to receive awards for meritorious service? โ
Lu Zheng suddenly became furious, and his emotions were also very excited, Long Zhaorui's elite was still there, and the situation in Jiangnan would be more complicated. This kid brought the soldiers to Jiangnan, can he let the Nanfu army in Jiangnan develop?
Also, is it safe for Emperor Xinde to go down to Jiangnan in this situation? If Long Zhaorui was evil and really wanted to make a move against Emperor Xinde, Dakang would accelerate and slide into the abyss of uncontrollability......
Countless thoughts turned in Lu Zheng's mind, and he suddenly had a feeling of losing control, Dakang was in an unprecedented crisis, how could Lu Zheng alone support this towering tree?
Su Xinghai muttered on the side: "Sons and daughters unite to fight Lao Tzu, hey, there are reasons for the evil consequences, being smart is being mistaken by being smart, and the situation of Dakang is dangerous!" โ
When Su Xinghai said this, Lu Zheng also shook his head, he remembered those imperial mental techniques of Emperor Xinde. The drama used by Emperor Xinde to seize the heirs has now completely collapsed.
The sons are not simple, and even Long Lingxiu's daughter is not simple. Emperor Xinde wanted to let his sons fight and fight internally, but as a result, his children had a tacit understanding in private, and they actually joined forces to stab the country of Dakang.
As for Lu Zheng, now he has to think about the affairs of Jiangnan, and now he has to think about how to face the affairs of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, what should he do with less than 60,000 military horses in his hands?
"General Su, don't say anything superfluous! Your Majesty has asked me to be the chief of the march of the two rivers, and tomorrow you will be the lieutenant general of the general camp of the general manager! I will hand over the 15,000 Yulin army to you, and we will add 40,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers and horses to weave ......"
Su Zhi said: "Lord Lu, how dare Su Zhi, the general of Su Zhi's defeated army, take such a heavy responsibility again?" I really don't dare to take it! โ
"Presumptuous!" Su Xinghai was furious and said, "Useless thing, Lord Lu values you so much, you dare to say such ignorant words!" โ
Su Xinghai clenched his fists and said to Lu Zheng: "Lord Lu, don't worry, Su Zhi will definitely atone for her sins and do her errands well!" As a courtier of Dakang, my Su family will inevitably serve Dakang and Your Majesty! โ
Su Xinghai took care of everything and took care of everything, Lu Zheng smiled knowingly, thinking that it was really an old fox! At this time, everyone knows the importance of having soldiers in their hands, Su Zhi can lead an army with Lu Zheng, which is definitely a great guarantee for the Su family, Su Xinghai can see this very clearly, relatively speaking, Su Zhi is really too tender, and her scheming city government is still far from the older generation.
Lu Zheng's camp was built intensively, and Lu Zheng took all the resources that the imperial court could give, and Lu Zheng had to create conditions for the resources that the imperial court could not give.
At this time, the capital was already panicked, and Emperor Xinde's plan to tour the south of the Yangtze River had been implemented, with a total of 300 ships of various materials, almost moving the palace to the south of the Yangtze River.
The palace is empty, and people's hearts are scattered, who cares about Lu Zheng at this time? The Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War, Lu Zheng and Zhao Chongqian, joined hands and transported 200,000 sets of armor, 100,000 knives, spears, lances and other materials from the Arsenal Division. For this reason, Lu Zheng gave Zhao Chongqian another 200,000 taels.
On Cao Weiming's side, the household department gave Lu Zheng two million taels of silver for war thieves, and Lu Zheng gave Cao Weiming 400,000 taels of kickbacks.
Lu Zheng urgently transported the materials he received to the south by boat, which was the most important material for the preparation of the Nanfu Army in Jiangnan.
Lu Zheng wantonly amassed resources, Su Xinghai of the cabinet secretly supported, Lu Zheng also paid the Su family 100,000 taels of silver, and promised to prepare a big mansion for the Su family in Jinling......
