The governor of Beizhou is his own person, and the eunuch guarding the town will naturally not be too polite, he raised his chin reservedly, and came to the study under the guidance of the state pastor.

The eunuch sat on the main seat, looked around, and said straight to the point:

"Just now, I have seen the soldiers of the Xu family outside the city of Beizhou, and there is indeed a strong foundation for the army, with this army, the strength of the Xu family can be the first wealthy family in Beizhou, worthy of the name.

"Hehe, even compared with those wealthy families in the northwest, it's not too much, the shallow water in your Beizhou Mansion has raised a dragon......

As the most powerful man in the northwest, the eunuch guarding the town is still very knowledgeable, he has seen the 20,000 Xu cavalry army, and learned from the intelligence that the territory occupied by the Xu family, and he can imagine that the Xu family must be full of flowers and cooking oil at this moment, and a prosperous scene.

And he has also dealt with those real Northwest wealthy families, and deeply knows the heritage and strength of these Northwest families, and now, if you look at it from the perspective of hard power, the Xu family has an army of 20,000 cavalry, which is no worse than those Northwest wealthy families.

What is really bad about Xu's is the heritage.

After all, the Xu family has risen too fast, and although it already has a huge territory, in the end, it has not completely stabilized those territories.

However, as long as the Xu family can digest all the territory they occupy, then the Xu family is a real wealthy family in the northwest, and if there is a giant family like the Xu family in Beizhou, then the right to speak in Beizhou will inevitably fall into the hands of the Xu family, even if it is the head of the state of Beizhou Prefecture, it will not be as effective as the Xu family in Beizhou in the future.

When the state pastor heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly.

To be honest, even now, he still feels that the rise of the Xu clan is a bit incredible, it is so smooth that it is almost impossible to replicate.

The rise of the Xu family is not a secret, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you can get information, and now, every step of the rise of the Xu family is mastered by the major families in Beizhou.

But.

Even if they studied for many days, they felt that they could not replicate the process of the rise of the Xu family.

Because, at the beginning of the Wei side's army, the Xu family occupied the two territories of Yan County and Pingyang County in just seven days, and in the process of occupying these two territories, the Xu family soldiers led by the Wei side were just some newly recruited recruits.

And these recruits may have been craftsmen, farmers, hunters, and may have martial arts, but they are definitely not strong soldiers.

But.

Wei Fang's luck was too good, at that time, the beggar army wanted to send a cavalry team to harass Wei's army, but before they could get out of Pingyang Valley Road, they encountered a landslide, and the whole 2,000 cavalry were wiped out.

When the Wei side attacked Pingyang County, Pingyang County was on fire, and the beggar army had to withdraw from Pingyang County at night, which gave the Wei side the opportunity to chase and kill the beggar army overnight.

These two battles, to be honest, didn't show the true strength of the Xu family's soldiers at all, it was completely by luck.

In addition, Wei's luck was not only that, when he recovered the vast territory outside Pingyang County, a heavy rain suddenly fell in the northwest, and the 200,000 troops confronting Wei were blocked by the river, which gave Wei every opportunity to break through.

Therefore, the rise of the Xu family today cannot be replicated at all, because the rise of the Xu family does not rely on real combat power, but luck.

And luck is such a thing, mysterious and mysterious.

Can't grasp it.

Therefore, the major families in Beizhou are envious and jealous of the Xu family, feeling that the Xu family has risen too fast, and success is too easy, and for the fact that the Wei side has gained a lot from entering the barbarian grassland to kill, burn and loot, they also feel that the Wei side has taken advantage of the Northwest Army.

Because, at that time, the barbarian army was fighting day and night with the Northwest Frontier Army, and was dragged by the Northwest Frontier Army, even if they got the news that the Wei side was raging in the grassland, it was estimated that they would not be able to divide their troops to snipe the Wei side, which gave the Wei side a chance.

However, no matter what you say, the Xu family has risen in the end, and now it wants people, money, grain, territory, and army, just like the posture of the first wealthy family in Beizhou, and the appearance of a future great family in the northwest.

As the eunuch said, there is really a dragon in the shallow water of Beizhou, but Beizhou can't bear such a strong land snake entrenched in its own territory, with the Xu family entrenched here, Beizhou Zhou Mu will not be too calculating.

The real master here in the future will be the Xu family.

Now the development of the Xu family has been completely out of the control of the Beizhou Prefecture Mu, you must know that the reason why he gave the Xu family and other major wealthy families military power was nothing more than to use them to eliminate the chaotic army and stabilize the situation, and at the same time, in turn use the rebel army to consume the strength of the major wealthy families, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But he didn't expect that the Xu family seized the opportunity so quickly, and had such a strong luck, and it rose up so that Zhou Mu could no longer control the situation.

Zhou Mu cleared his throat, his expression was respectful, and he told the town guard eunuch the details of the rise of the Xu family, and finally said solemnly:

"What you said is right, now the Xu family does have the foundation of the Northwest Great Family, if it is not restricted, I am afraid it will not be long before the Xu family will completely digest the territory in their hands.

"At that time......

He couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"At that time, it is estimated that the affairs of Beizhou are not up to me, and the current situation, if the situation in the northwest continues to be turbulent, and the Xu family has other thoughts, I am afraid that this Beizhou will change in an instant, in short, the Xu family is indeed a hidden danger, how to treat this family, please make a decision as soon as possible."

When the eunuch heard this, he sneered:

"Oh? I can't imagine that the Xu family has such luck?

"If that's the case, then you can't stay, the country will be in chaos, and there will be demons."

The reason why this town guard eunuch has this reaction is because he believes in the theory of luck, as the henchman of the Great Qi Emperor and the person in power in the northwest land, he naturally has enough wisdom, and he also knows what era this is.

Natural disasters continue, beacons are everywhere, a little careless, the Great Qi will be destroyed, it will change the dynasty, it can be said that it is the last dynasty, as the saying goes, the country will be chaotic, there will be demons, he feels that the Xu family and other Beizhou wealthy families, now there is such good luck, it must also be a demon, if it can be dealt with as soon as possible, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.

Of course, this town guard eunuch didn't take the Xu family too seriously, although he felt that the Xu family had good luck, but the northwest land was on the territory of the Great Qi Empire, and it was just a wild land, and he couldn't raise a real dragon at all.

However, although the Northwest Land cannot raise a true dragon, since the Xu clan has this "Luck Dao", it is likely that there will be some chaos in the future, so it is better to solve it now, and kill some of the root causes of the chaos in the cradle, and he can also reap a lot of benefits from it.

Isn't that the best of both worlds?

Moreover, this family or individual with enough luck can sometimes do some extraordinary things and achieve some achievements that are unimaginable to ordinary people if they are not stifled in time.

After all, Emperor Taizu of Great Qi was such a figure back then, with three or five hundred bandits, he finally won the world, at that time, the Emperor of Great Qi won more battles with less, it was simply countless, even if it was really a dead end, he would win for some extremely ridiculous reasons, which often made people feel outrageous.

The town guard eunuch didn't think that the Xu family could have the same luck as Emperor Taizu of Great Qi, but he still felt that it was better to deal with it earlier, thinking of this, the town guard eunuch had already made up his mind.

He said to the governor:

"Tomorrow, you will issue a decree to the major wealthy families in Beizhou, those who own war horses will be taxed heavily according to the number, and if you want not to pay taxes, you need to deliver the war horses to the Beizhou capital."

The purpose of his decree is to test the Xu family's loyalty to the Great Qi court, or in other words, to test the Xu family's patience with the Great Qi court, if the Xu family can still endure this decree, it is also a good thing, the Xu family will either keep the war horse, or pay heavy taxes, no matter what the Xu family does, they will have to lose huge benefits!

After all, the Xu clan had more than 20,000 war horses in his hands.

And once the Xu family decides to be patient, the eunuch who guards the town will know the bottom line of the Xu family, and he can boldly use various decrees to suppress the Xu family, and even, he can use other major wealthy families to divide the interests of the Xu family together, slowly knock down the momentum of the Xu family's rise, and finally eat it in one bite.

Of course, if the Xu family reacts too aggressively to this decree, it means that the Xu family is not respectful to the Great Qi court, and if they are persecuted, I am afraid they will have to turn their faces, in that case, the eunuch who guards the town also knows the bottom line of the Xu family, and will be superficial and wrong, and stabilize the Xu family first.

After all, he came to Beizhou with a light car, even if the guards around him are all masters, he himself has an extremely strong martial arts, but in the face of a local snake like the Xu family, he still has an army of 20,000 cavalry, even if it is him, he has to be afraid.

Of course, even then, he knew how to deal with the Xu clan, that is, he directly mobilized the elite of the northwest border army, directly rushed to the city of Beizhou, and fought to the death with the Xu clan's 20,000 cavalry troops!

The eunuchs guarding the town have a very vicious vision, knowing that although the 20,000 cavalry team of the Xu family has a strong base, in the final analysis, the training is not enough, the experience is not enough, and it has not completely transformed into a real strong general, compared with the real elite of the Northwest Frontier Army, there is still a gap.

The Northwest Frontier Army is a real elite army, even among all the armies of the Great Qi Empire, it is second to none, because the people in the Northwest are fierce, and they fight against the barbarian army all the year round, and after the tempering of blood and fire, it must be a strong army.

Therefore, the eunuch guarding the town was very confident in the Northwest Frontier Army, and felt that as long as the Northwest Frontier Army could be transferred, the Xu clan could be completely wiped out.

Of course, if the Northwest Frontier Army is transferred, then after the Xu clan is eliminated, he will probably only be able to drink a mouthful of soup, and the meat will have to be eaten by the Northwest Frontier Army, but the Xu clan now has the foundation of the Northwest wealthy family, and the fat flowing oil, even if he drinks a sip of soup, he can make the town guard eunuch last for a while.

It's not too much of a loss.

Zhou Mu heard the words of the eunuch guarding the town, he hesitated a little in his heart, to be honest, he felt that what the benefactor wanted him to do, something was wrong, didn't he think about it, if the Xu family heard this decree, he would be more radical, and directly send troops to occupy the city of Beizhou Prefecture, pull the flag and rebel, really at that time, how would the benefactor deal with himself?

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and now that the Great Qi Empire is crumbling, do you really want to be the kind of courtier who is loyal to the country? Don't you leave yourself a way back?

However, the eunuch is his benefactor in the end, and his orders are not easy for the state pastor to disobey.

opened his mouth, but the governor still did not persuade him, but he could already foresee that after his decree was issued, there would inevitably be chaos in Beizhou, and when the time came, he hoped that the eunuch in front of him would continue to control the situation.

……

……

Knock knock!

The southeast of the Great Qi Empire, on the Longjiang River.

On one of the main ships, a tall, majestic, sharp-eyed man was standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the two fleets that were fighting to the death, motionless.

This man, named Li Baolong, is the leader of the rebel army in the southeast, and now he has opened a government and established himself as the king, known as the king of the Great Zhou, occupying seventeen states in the southeast, supporting millions of people, and has a strong power.

At this moment, Li Baolong is leading his naval army to fight to the death with the naval army of the Great Qi Empire, and this battle is a key battle.

If the Great Qi court wins, the only naval army in Li Baolong's hands will be gone, and at that time, the Lailong River, which runs thousands of miles from east to west, will no longer be a southeast barrier, and the Great Qi court can rely on strong ships to throw the elite soldiers of the Great Qi into any place in the southeast and launch an attack.

With the vast territory of the Great Qi Imperial Court and the heritage of hundreds of years, if it is based on consumption, even if Li Baolong has occupied the vast southeastern land, I am afraid that it will not be able to compare with the Great Qi Imperial Court.

If Li Baolong can win this battle, then he can rely on the danger of coming to Longjiang to defend the territory in the southeast, and when the time comes, the elite soldiers of the Great Qi Imperial Court will recuperate internally, and it won't take long for him to rectify the interior and wave the Northern Expedition!

However, even in such an important battle, Li Baolong only watched for a while before retracting his gaze.

It has been ten years since he raised his army to resist Daqi, and in the past ten years, this man has been spent in blood and fire, and some victories and defeats have long been ignored by him, and he also has confidence in this battle, believing that his side will definitely win.

Li Baolong held a battle report by hand, he opened and watched it leisurely, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

The war report describes that now the Great Qi Empire can be described as full of beacon fires, not only in the southeast has opened up the situation, in the southwest, in the Central Plains, in the northwest, there are rebel armies rising up to resist tyranny, which is a good thing for him, although these rebel armies are still very weak, but in any case, they can also contain part of the strength of the Great Qi army and share some pressure on him.

Smack!

He closed the battle report and smiled slightly:

"At this point, I am not alone!"
