Jiang Baitong left the mansion. Immediately return to where you live.

In the study, Jiang Baitong discussed the tasks assigned to him by Li Zhen with his staff. Jiang Baitong said with a serious expression: "Master Li asked me to find the magistrates of each county, what do you say is the purpose?" ”

The staff pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid, it's not a good thing!" ”

Jiang Baitong said: "Tell me what you think!" ”

The staff said unhurriedly: "My lord, let's consider this matter from Li Zhen's point of view. Just imagine, if Li Zhen enters Cangwu County, wants to gain a firm foothold, and controls Wuzhou Mansion in his hands, how many officials' rights will be reduced? There are certainly a lot of officials whose rights have been weakened. If Li Zhen does not control Wuzhou Mansion, the situation will remain the same, and everyone will respect Li Zhen on the surface, and such a result is not what Li Zhen is willing to see. ”

"You mean that Li Zhen wants to depose our rights?"

Jiang Baitong had a gloomy face with a serious expression.

The staff said: "Yes, there is such a possibility! ”

Jiang Baitong immediately asked, "What should I do?" ”

The staff explained: "Li Zhenbing is in Wuzhou Mansion, and Wuzhou Mansion borders the border of Guangdong, he can mobilize a large army at any time, even if we resist, it is impossible." People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat! At present, Xi Yinglong is rebelling, and he thinks that Xi Yinglong will not last long. My lord, despite the changes, if we can endure it, we will endure it for the time being. ”

"Alas!!"

Jiang Baitong sighed and said, "People are swordsmen!" ”

He waved his hand for his staff to withdraw, and then began to write letters to the county orders of each county, conveying Li Zhen's orders. It is not a simple matter to summon the officials of Wuzhou Mansion or even Pingle Mansion, and Jiang Baitong needs to solve them one by one.

……

In Li Zhen's study, Zhou Xiuying, Smith and Yang Banhou all calmed down and thought about Li Zhen's methods.

Smith said, "Sir, the plan you came up with is good. Our troops are stronger, and we occupy morality, as long as we fight steadily, Xi Yinglong will definitely be defeated. However, if this strategy is adopted, the time consumed will definitely be delayed for a long time. After all, there are 11 prefectures in Guangxi, and there are many prefectures and counties under one prefecture, and if they are attacked one by one, it will take quite a long time. ”

Li Zhen said: "I have my own way to solve this problem, and I plan it this way,......"

After Li Zhen finished speaking, he looked at the three of them and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I think it's doable!" Smith was the first to speak.

Yang Banhou and Zhou Xiuying also nodded in approval, and the three of them were all gearing up.

……

Guilin Mansion, Lingui County.

Lingui County was founded in the sixth year of the Han Dynasty (111 AD), from the Three Kingdoms to the end of the Qing Dynasty, Lingui County is the county, state, road, government where the government is located. The seat of Guilin Mansion is in Lingui County.

In the city, the Admiral's Yamen.

In the study, a middle-aged man in a black suit was closing his eyes and recuperating.

He leaned back against the chair, his legs resting on the desk, not at all tight. It's just that the angular outline, as well as the high cheekbones and the straight nose bridge, all give people a tough and tough feeling. Moreover, his body is burly and strong, even if his legs are on the desk, it also gives people the feeling of sleeping lion, as if he can burst out and hurt people at any time.

This person is Xi Yinglong, the governor of Guangxi.

Xi Yinglong is a native of Shaanxi, and in the fourteenth year of Daoguang (1834), he won the martial arts and entered the official career in one fell swoop. He is a martial artist, and he can become an official in ruling a province, and his ability can be imagined. Moreover, Xi Yinglong was born in martial arts, has a very high attainment in martial arts, and is a martial arts master, don't look at Xi Changzhen's strength, he is still not Xi Yinglong's opponent.

"Bang! Bang!! ”

Outside the study, there was a knock on the door.

Xi Yinglong opened his eyes suddenly, his legs were still on the desk, and he said loudly: "Come in!" ”

As the words fell, a scribe in Tsing Yi walked in.

This person is Xi Yinglong's first confidant, named Yang Zeming, who is in his fifties, and his hair has turned white. This person is just a small talent, who has been in the imperial examination for more than 30 years, and has been repeatedly unsuccessful, which is a typical repeated defeat and repeated battle. It's just that he didn't turn over, and finally became a small official, and was later reused by Xi Yinglong, so he had to show his talent.

Yang Zeming entered the study and saw Xi Yinglong putting his legs on the desk without any rules, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

The old gentleman stomped his feet and said loudly: "My lord, if you repel the attacking Li Zhen, you can achieve a hegemony." When the time comes, you will ascend the throne and become the emperor, that is, the emperor who dominates one side, and you can leave your name in history. Therefore, the emperor must have the majesty of the emperor, and it is a shame for you to put your legs on the desk! Adults are asked to clean their legs so that they don't interfere with your view. ”

Xi Yinglong squinted at Yang Zeming, and said nonchalantly: "Old Yang, if I become an emperor, I can do whatever I want, can't I put my legs on the table?" ”

Yang Zeming said loudly: "My lord, this is the rule!" ”

"Rules? What are the rules? ”

Xi Yinglong smiled and said: "If I become the emperor, everything must be smooth, if I can't even do things myself, what's the point?" Of course, for me, the rules can be broken, but the people below still have to behave. It's a small thing, don't dwell on it, let's get down to business. ”

Yang Zeming shook his head, raised his head and chest, a handful of old bones stood like a pine, and said loudly: "My lord, as the saying goes, how can a house be swept without sweeping, the smallest details can affect the whole situation." If you don't pay attention to the details now, it may affect your inheritance. Therefore, please put down your legs, regulate your words and deeds, and be able to discipline yourself. ”

"Yes, you are always a stinky stone in the pit, I can't afford to mess with it!"

Xi Yinglong put down his legs and sat down in a proper manner.

When Yang Zeming heard this, his old face was ugly, his eyes flashed with anger, and he was very dissatisfied with Xi Yinglong's analogy. He was about to get angry, but he heard Xi Yinglong say: "Old Yang, get down to business, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Zeming immediately choked, with a resentful expression, and had to say helplessly: "There is news from the front, Zhennan Pass has been broken by Li Zhen, and the army of Xi Changzhen and Raer is rushing towards Lingui County. ”

"What?"

Xi Yinglong stood up, with an incredible expression on his face, and said loudly: "There is Xi Changzhen guarding Zhennan Pass, how can it be lost?" Although that guy is obscene, he is very reliable in doing things. Lao Yang, are you sure the news is true? ”

Yang Zeming said: "The news is absolutely correct, in a few days, Xi Changzhen and Lawell will be back." ”

Xi Yinglong nodded, pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.

His expression was solemn, his eyes flashed with Dao essence, and his solemn color gradually turned into a high-spirited fighting spirit, and he said loudly: "Li Zhen broke through Zhennan Pass, and he did have two brushes. Now that Li Zhen has broken through Zhennan Pass, I just happened to compete with him to see who was more powerful. Being defeated by him is nothing more than death, and defeating Li Zhen will lay the foundation of the general. ”

The words were categorical and full of infinite fighting spirit.
