Xiangfan, after Fang Baihua received the news that Yang Zhi was besieged, she was immediately frightened, and felt that she was a little too selfish to force Liu Zhenglong to send troops, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, Zheyue Immortal also came to Xiangfan, and she advised Fang Baihua to say: "Sister, don't blame yourself, it seems that you still don't know the officials!" This person has always planned and then moved, so that Yang Zhi could send troops to Yun'an, he expected that there would be such a day when he would be trapped in Yun'an. Besides, why do you say that Yang Zhi is trapped in Yun'an? Why don't you say that it was Yang Zhi who set a nail in Yun'an County to lure the rebels to Yun'an and entangle the rebels to the death? The more rebels in Yun'an, the easier it is to exterminate, it is better than the official army to attack the city one by one, and to exterminate them one by one. You must know that the strongest part of the Longxiang army is the field battle, this combat effectiveness is not known how many times stronger than the rebels, this battle has not yet been fought, it has been decided that the official army will definitely be able to annihilate the rebels. ”

"But, but." Fang Baihua knew that Zheyue Immortal was comforting herself, but Yang Zhi was the first general to follow Liu Zhenglong, if he was broken and sunk in Yun'an, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the officials in the future. She took Zheyue Immortal's hand and said, "Sister, what do you say, you can't let the rebels besiege Yun'an County like this." ”

"Yes, Yun'an County is too small, 50,000 rebels are overwhelmed, and it can be said that it is very easy to take Yun'an County, once Yun'an is conquered and Yang Zhi's troops are defeated, then it will be too late to say anything." Zheyue Immortal also felt that something was wrong, how could the small Yun'an County resist the 50,000 rebels, and with Li Zhu's 50,000 army, then the rebels would exceed 100,000, if they forcibly attacked the city, even if Yang Zhi had a head, he would not be able to hold on for ten days.

At this time, Chai Jinjiao came over, the head of the Chai family had only been in Xiangfan for less than half a day, and he was supposed to rest, but when he heard that Yun'an was trapped, how could he rest in this case? She wanted to discuss with Liu Zhenglong as soon as possible, but she didn't expect to run into Zheyue Immortal and Fang Baihua talking about Yun'an, so she walked over.

Chai Jinjiao didn't want to socialize with these women, after all, they were all Liu Zhenglong's women, some had the reality of husband and wife, some had the name of husband and wife, and she had nothing. The name is not right, and it is embarrassing to meet each other, but when it comes to military affairs, I can't help it, after all, I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I am known as a female Zhuge .

Chai Jinjiao said unhurriedly: "The rebels themselves are a rabble, if they defend the city, they can still have some effect, but once the field battle, as long as the initial battle is unfavorable, it is likely to collapse." Yun'an is a small city, it is indeed not easy to defend, if the rebels attack, it is definitely a miracle to hold it for ten days. However, I bet the rebels will not attack the city. ”

"Girl, how can you see that?" It was Zheyue Xian who spoke, in Liu's house, she had always been the first to be her sister, and then she was her sister, and now Chai Jinjiao has not entered Liu's Mansion, so Zheyue Xian called her sister. Although Fang Baihua has not yet entered Liu's mansion, she has long been married to Liu Zhenglong, so she is called her sister.

Chai Jinjiao said unhurriedly: "Because the rebels are two parts, the first part is the three brothers of the Duan family, these three guys all rely on Wang Qing's brother-in-law to get to the top, they have always been arrogant and have no one in their eyes, but the three guys are all straw bales and have no real skills." The other part is Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, this guy is my uncle, he is indeed strategic, capable, in terms of sword and kung fu, I am afraid that he is second only to Wang Yin in Jiangnan, and if he fights immediately, he should be on par with Shi Bao. If it is about strategy, on the use of troops above Wang Yin, there is no opponent in Jiangnan. This guy is arrogant, he looks down on the three brothers of the Duan family at all, this time the two sides sent troops together, and they are destined to hinder each other, so how can they go all out to attack the city? In this way, the city will not be attacked for a short time. ”

"Then what if, the three brothers of the Duan family insist on attacking the city?"

"No, whether it is Wang Qing or Princess Duan Sanniang, they all know that the three brothers of the Duan family are straw bales, and the command will definitely be handed over to Li Zhu, and Li Zhu is holding back his strength to fight against Wang Yin, and he will not rush to send troops, besides, this guy will leave a way back for himself, and he will not go out of his way."

At this moment, not only Zhiyue Immortal was confused, but even Fang Baihua was confused, she asked puzzledly: "If Li Zhu commands the army, then he will easily take Yun'an, why won't he attack the city?" ”

"Because, Li Zhu doesn't want to take Yun'an, what he wants is to defeat Wang Yin, to seize military power, and to dig a pit for the three brothers of the Duan family to jump. Although the three brothers of the Duan family are straw bales, they do not deal with Li Zhu in their bones, and the two families are fighting each other, and they are destined not to send troops in a short time. Liu Zhenglong walked slowly from a distance, and he said unhurriedly: "Because, Li Zhu is betting on both ends, he doesn't want to hang himself on Wang Qing's tree, once things are wrong, this guy will choose to flee the ocean, or take refuge in the imperial court." What he wants now is to defeat Wang Yin, so that even if he defects to the imperial court, he will have the capital. ”

Seeing Liu Zhenglong coming, the three women saluted one after another, folding the moon fairy, Fang Baihua called the official, and Chai Jinjiao followed and said the official. After hearing this, Zheyue Xian smiled and said: "Ouch, sister, I called the official before I passed the door, it seems that I can't wait to enter the cave room, do you want my sister to arrange a room!" ”

Chai Jinjiao, who was so embarrassed that his face was flushed, couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, Liu Zhenglong held this beauty's weak and boneless jade hand in his hand, and he said with a smile: "It's not like that if you can't enter the cave room, that's a matter of night, now it's about Li Zhu, this guy is willing to vote for the name, so Yun'an will not lose, and Yang Zhi will not be defeated." ”

"Then what if the three brothers of the Duan family don't listen to Li Zhu and forcibly send troops?" Fang Baihua was obviously a little unconvinced, she pouted and said, "The three brothers of the Duan family are uncles. ”

"Shut up." Liu Zhenglong's slap slapped over, this was the first time he hit a woman in his life, but this slap was heavy and hard, knocking Fang Baihua to the ground, and there was a blood-red palm print on the pretty face that was about to break, and this beauty cried aggrievedly.

Chai Jinjiao, Zheyue Immortal knelt on the ground, the two beauties didn't dare to come out, it was the first time they saw Liu Zhenglong angry for so long, but the two knew why Liu Zhenglong was angry, so no one pleaded with Fang Baihua.

Liu Zhenglong didn't say anything, and left angrily.

After Liu Zhenglong left, Zheyue Xian and Chai Jinjiao helped Fang Baihua up.

Zhiyue Immortal said: "Sister, you are in trouble this time, maybe you don't know, the official family has always been worried about officials, and there has always been a chazi of the Imperial City Division in the army, just waiting to catch the handles of officials." Wang Qing is a traitor, how can his brother-in-law be the uncle of the country? This is a violation of the law and will cause trouble to the officials. Perhaps, one thing, you still don't know, the family members of the officials say that they are enjoying Qingfu in the capital, but they are actually under house arrest. As long as the court determines that the officials are rebelling, whether it is true or not, the family members will be executed, do you know the consequences? ”

Chai Jinjiao continued: "The civil official world has been in the world for more than a hundred years, and the power of the civil official has infiltrated every corner of the Great Song Dynasty, which can be said to be pervasive, and these people are trying every way to rectify the black materials of adults every day. If it weren't for the pressure of the officials, the heads of the officials would have moved long ago. This was the last and only chance for the officials to go on the expedition. If you are called back to Beijing, then you will never be able to get out again. I'm afraid, there is one thing that the officials have not told you, that is, at most about a year, the Jin army will go south to besiege the capital, if the officials can't lead the troops, you should know what the consequences of being trapped in the capital are. You have to remember that this is the Great Song Dynasty, and you can't do anything that violates the rules. ”

At this time, Fang Baihua understood how much pressure Liu Zhenglong had to bear to take him in, and the slap just now may be the release of pressure. Privately release Fang La, it is impossible for the court not to know, the reason why there is no seizure is that the official family is pressing, but if you don't pay attention to it, the civil officials have been biting it, once the official family changes their minds and calls Liu Zhenglong back, then everything will be over, and if Jiangnan is not good, there will be millions of corpses and rivers of blood, and the consequences are unimaginable.

"Then, what should I do, official, I'm angry, you won't want me."

"Silly girl, the official loves you very much, hurry up and conceive a child for him, and everything will be fine." Speaking of this, Zheyue Xian gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, and she said to herself: "We women, the happiness of a lifetime is not a husband and children, as for making money, being promoted, and fighting a war, let the officials worry about it." Today, you should serve him well, keep upright, and the officials will not be angry. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Fang Baihua's face was flushed with shame, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at others.

The most embarrassing thing is Chai Jinjiao, after all, she is still a yellow flower girl, and the husband and wife are still embarrassed.

Regret, Liu Zhenglong regretted it, he was a human being in two lives and had never beaten a woman, what happened today? The reason why he was angry this time was not because of what Fang Baihua said, the key was that Cai Jing had sent a letter, saying that Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong's impeachment letter had been handed over, and the spearhead was pointed directly at Fang La, saying that the previous death was fake, saying that Liu Zhenglong had bullied the monarch and wanted to recall him.

If it weren't for Tong Guan not being able to stabilize the situation in Hebei, the official family would also want to take down Liu Zhenglong, no matter what, this guy and Fang La's daughter Fang Baihua are not innocent, and it doesn't matter if Fang La is dead or not. Despite this, the official family still issued an order to severely criticize Liu Zhenglong, and strictly ordered that Zhiyuexian and other women must return to Beijing, and Fang Baihua must also return to Beijing.

The intention is very clear, as long as Liu Zhenglong tries to support the army and respect himself, then the family members are hostages, in this case, how can Liu Zhenglong not be in a hurry?

"How can I hit a woman, how can I beat my own woman." Liu Zhenglong blamed himself very much, he felt that he was upset, how could he get it if he went on like this.

"Official, don't say it, I know the bitterness in your heart, I don't blame you." Fang Baihua hugged Liu Zhenglong from behind, she choked up and said: "In this life and this life, I am your woman, until death, let me give birth to a son, okay?" ”

Chai Jinjiao had no sleep all night, she didn't know if it was appropriate for her to do this, but she decided to take a risk, after all, Li Zhu was her uncle, so she couldn't fight in the same room.

Liu Zhenglong didn't expect Chai Jinjiao to come to him so early, so he said with a smile: "Didn't you enter the cave room last night, I can't wait!" ”

"Oh, what do you say? You're all county dukes, and you're still so unserious. Chai Jinjiao's face was flushed with shame, she lowered her head and said, "The slave family is here, I want to know what you think about the battle of Yun'an." ”

"Dragon fight, let's see if that one has the ability."

The tone was unusually cold, and in this way, the fate of Wang Yin and Li Zhu was decided, who won, who stayed to serve the imperial court, and who lost, then there was only one way out. Liu Zhenglong's coldness almost decided the fate of these two people, and also decided the lives of 170,000 soldiers. On one side is Li Zhu, the 100,000 army on the side of the three brothers of the Duan family, and on the other side is Wang Yin, the 70,000 elite soldiers on Shi Bao's side, no matter how much they win, they are all rivers of blood.

"Are you a little too cruel, why can't you stay with all the dragons and tigers, why do you have to fight the dragons and tigers?" Chai Jinjiao was a little dissatisfied, a layer of frost appeared on her pretty face, and she said coldly: "One will be a success, but your Liu Zhenglong's fame doesn't need to flow into a river of blood, you don't need so many heads!" ”

Liu Zhenglong didn't want to say so much, but he knew that Chai Jinjiao would not be willing to say it thoroughly today, but it was really inappropriate to say it at this time. However, fortunately, this woman is her own woman, and today's conversation will not reach the court.

Liu Zhenglong took Chai Jinjiao into his arms and said: "The Great Song Dynasty is already crumbling, which the outside world can't see, but Hebei is already under the clouds of war, and the war is about to break out, but Tong Guan is still extorting the people's fat and ointment in Hebei." This is still a small matter, the most fatal thing is that something happened to the Western Xia in the northwest, I have to find a way to go to the northwest, if I can't stabilize the situation in the Western Xia, then my years of planning will be in vain. ”

"Are you planning to usurp the throne?"

"Yes! Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, launched the Chenqiaoyi Mutiny, and the yellow robe was added, and finally took the country from the orphans and widows of the Chai family and established the Great Song Dynasty. And I, Liu Zhenglong, am not in love with imperial power, nor have I ever thought about being an emperor. But the Jin army is imminent to go south, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of the people, I am willing to be a rebellious minister and thief, I am willing to be a sinner for the ages, so I want to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne. ”

This is the first time that Liu Zhenglong said that he wanted to be the emperor in righteous words, and he said to Chai Jinjiao: "You choose me, and your Chai family chooses to bet on me, isn't it just to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty?" However, now, we can't make a mistake, after all, before the Jin army went south, an edict from the official family could send me to the eighteenth layer of hell. Therefore, before the Jin army went south, I could only be a dog with a tail, and I had to be careful in everything. ”

Chai Jin Petite Bird snuggled into Liu Zhenglong's arms like a human, and she murmured: "I know it's difficult for you, but this doesn't conflict with leaving Li Zhu and Wang Yin!" ”

"There is going to be a drastic change in Western Xia, and Li Qianshun's previous serious injuries were actually faked and concealed from everyone. Taking advantage of the pregnancy of Queen Yelu Nanxian, this guy secretly cultivated power, and now the two are evenly matched. Yelu Nanxian cultivated a cronie to believe in the king Li Renyun, and Li Qianshun introduced a benefit king Li Renkai. Now the situation in Western Xia is complicated, as if it is a powder keg, just a little bit. Once Xixia loses control, then I will be finished and will never have the ability to rise again. I have to go to Western Xia to deal with this matter, and as for the problem of Jiangnan, I have no time to take care of it. ”

Liu Zhenglong was also a little haggard at this time, and he said a little frustratedly: "Li Zhu and Wang Yin are both talents, but one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the two are destined to fight." Jiangnan can't stand the toss, if I am in Jiangnan, I can still suppress these two people, but if I go to Western Xia, no one can suppress them. Wang Yin has taken refuge in me, but I know that as long as I am not in Jiangnan, he will be dominant. As for Li Zhu, it is even more unreliable, if the two of them tear the soil and seal the king, Jiangnan will fall into war. The battle of Yun'an is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers, no matter who wins, they will be greatly injured, and they will no longer be able to resist, so they can only obediently defend themselves. ”

What may seem like a simple question is actually complicated. It's not as simple as Li Zhu and Wang Yin, behind this is the collision of two major forces, on one side is Wang Qing's old department, and on the other side is Fang La's old department, no matter which side will not really work for Liu Zhenglong, this is the biggest hidden danger.

This question is not something that Chai Jinjiao can explain clearly, after all, the situation in Jiangnan is too complicated, which is different from other places. Liu Zhenglong was unwilling to suffer from the lives of Jiangnan, and he was even more unwilling to give up Western Xia. If it weren't for the sudden changes in Western Xia, he wouldn't have rushed to the northwest, and then Jiangnan's problem would be much simpler.

"Are you going to the northwest quietly, or are you going to bring troops over?"

"Quietly passed, but in Jiangnan, only forty or fifty thousand Longxiang troops could be left to suppress when there was a rebellion in Jiangnan, otherwise, at this time, they could only let Wang Yin and Li Zhu tear them apart. Of course, if they haven't decided to win or lose before I come back from the Western Front, I'll find a way to keep both. Of course, if the two of them create a disaster and chaos in Jiangnan, I will exterminate them all. ”

Liu Zhenglong has a killing intention in his heart, whether it is Li Zhu or Wang Yin, as long as it endangers Jiangnan, he can't stay.

Chai Jinjiao now understood Liu Zhenglong's thoughts, and she said: "If Lord Liu believes in the slave family, I am willing to stay in Jiangnan and help you watch Li Zhu and Wang Yin, as long as there are 50,000 troops, I will definitely be able to stabilize the situation." ”

"If you call an official, I will promise you." Liu Zhenglong hugged Chai Jinjiao and said: "My Longxiang army is only loyal to me, not to the imperial court, and will not let others lead the army." My women are their mistresses, and these people will obey. ”

"Well, the slave family is afraid, and I hope the officials will be gentle." Chai Jinjiao knew that this day would come sooner or later, she hugged Liu Zhenglong's neck with both hands, and said delicately: "Slave, I want to give the official a son." ”
