In the Shuai Mansion, Song Xuan sat on the main seat and looked at everyone in the hall.

Liu Bowen went to Zhejiang to collect taxes, and he didn't have time to come back for the time being.

The officials in the hall are mainly officials from the Ministry of the Interior under the command of Li Shanchang.

In addition to Li Shanchang, the chief official, there were two deputies, and on either side of the deputy, there were also several young civil officials.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang cliques commanded by Song Xuan have relatively young officials, and most of them belong to vested interest groups.

For example, the strategy given by Liu Bowen is to win over a group of major families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, kill a group, and leave a group to beat Liwei from time to time.

Most of the officials who can participate in the meeting of the Great Marshal's Mansion are from the group of big family members who are qualified to be co-opted after screening.

These people are quite talented and prestigious in the local area, and their reputation is relatively not too bad.

It's not that Song Xuan doesn't want to select talents among the people at the bottom, but in this era, it is a luxury for ordinary people to have enough to eat, where can they have extra money to study?

If they want to stabilize their rule, the gentry and landlord class cannot rely on killing alone, and they still have to win over those who should be wooed.

Song Xuan's gaze turned, and finally fell on a rather young civil official.

"I heard Mr. Li say that he accepted a disciple, that person, but you?"

The young civil official was a little flattered, immediately got up, and hurriedly saluted: "Lord, humble Hu Weiyong, meet the lord!" ”

"Well, sit down!" Song Xuanzhen said: "Mr. Li is a person with real skills, you follow him and study hard." The world is very big, and in the future, there will be opportunities for you young people to display their ambitions! ”

Song Xuan casually drew a cake, and Hu Weiyong's face suddenly turned happy and excited.

Several other young civil servants were also overjoyed.

Being qualified to attend the meeting proves that they have entered the eyes of the marshal and entered the core power level of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Group.

And what the marshal said just now also means that the marshal personally recognized their status.

There is no doubt that when the world is unified in the future, they can definitely occupy a high position in the new dynasty and become the founding heroes!

The opportunity to turn over is just around the corner, even if it is Li Shanchang, the head of the civil servants, he can't help but feel a little agitated at this moment.

"Okay, let's talk about the situation in the Northland first!" Song Xuan turned his head to look at the sixth child at the head of the military attaché.

The sixth man immediately got up and said: "I have received accurate information, the Ming army was defeated, and it was defeated in a head-on decisive battle, and was brutally defeated by the Mongolian cavalry.

If there is no accident, there will be many people fleeing to Anqing, Jiangxi and other places, Guo Zixing, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui and others if they take over these defeated troops, the strength can definitely further skyrocket, for us, this is not a good thing! ”

Song Xuan asked, "What is the situation on the Yuan army's side?" ”

Lao Liudao: "The casualties of the Yuan army are not small, although the Ming army was defeated, but according to the rough estimate of Tsing Yiwei, the casualties are about 200,000, which belongs to killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800."

After defeating the Ming army, the commander of the Yuan army, he sent tens of thousands of cavalry to continue to pursue the remnants of Zhang Wuji, while rectifying the follow-up soldiers and horses.

If there is no accident, this person is very likely to want to lead more than 300,000 troops directly south with the power of great victory! ”

Song Xuan nodded, motioned for him to sit down, and then looked at everyone and said, "Let's all talk about our opinions!" ”

Li Shanchang glanced at his disciple Hu Weiyong and motioned for him to be the first to speak, showing his ability in front of the big handsome.

Hu Weiyong himself had this thought, and after receiving Li Shanchang's eyes, he immediately got up and bowed.

"My lord, the Ming army was defeated and the army went south, others can recruit it, can we also recruit it?"

Song Xuan said with a smile: "Yes, but it's not easy, not to mention that the north and west are not our territory, just the teachings of the Ming Sect will also drive those defeated soldiers to join Guo Zixing and Xu Shouhui's team, unless they are cornered, it is difficult to join our Jinling army." ”

Hu Weiyong said: "Even so, then it is even more impossible for the rebels in Jiangxi and Anqing to easily improve their strength!" Gotta make them mess! ”

Song Xuan looked at Li Shanchang and said, "What does Mr. Li mean?" ”

Li Shanchang got up and said, "The lord can repair a letter to Hu Qian, so that the important ministers of the court he made friends in the capital of Yuan can exert their strength."

Tokhoff Buhua commanded an army of more than 300,000 people, didn't he want to go south, let him go to Anqing!

There is the Yuan army in the north, and the 80,000 army commanded by Lan Yu in the south, Liu Futong and Guo Zixing can stabilize the foundation, even if they are good, as for wanting to develop and grow, don't even think about it!

As for Xu Shouhui in Jiangxi, I still think that this person is the biggest threat. If you want to take Jiangxi, we don't have enough ships now, and the training of the navy is not enough, so it's hard to help the other party!

Lord, if Xu Shouhui is not contained, he will definitely be a great enemy in the future, and it will be even more difficult to deal with than the Yuan Court! ”

Song Xuan's fingers tapped lightly on the seat, pondering.

In the hall, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, and no one spoke again, but waited for the final decision of the lord.

After a while, Song Xuan turned his head to look at Zhou Zhiruo, who was sitting on the side and had not moved.

"Zhiruo, it's time for your Emei to send out your strength!"

Zhou Zhiruo was a little surprised, and immediately got up and said, "Senior brother, please say, who are you going to kill?" ”

"Two people - Jiangxi Xu Shouhui, and his general Chen Youliang!"

"Chen Youliang was born in a beggar gang, and there should be a master of the beggar gang under his guards, and it is not easy to assassinate them!"

"Got it!" Regarding the beggar gang, Zhou Zhiruo didn't take it too seriously, and said with a smile: "I'll go and discuss with Master now!" ”

As she spoke, she bowed, then exited the council chamber and hurried towards the mansion where the master was.

Along the way, she was in a good mood.

She is not afraid that her senior brother will ask her to contribute, but she is afraid that her senior brother will not use it!

If you use it more and use it easily, the relationship between the two people will only become more and more intimate.

In the conference hall, after Zhou Zhiruo left, Li Shanchang hesitated and said, "Lord, can this matter be done?" ”

Song Xuan smiled noncommittally: "Okay, just try it!" ”

People in the martial arts may not have much role in the battlefield, but if it is just a simple hidden assassination, the effect will definitely be surprisingly good.

Extinction is an old man, with the sword in hand, he is definitely the top group of masters in the rivers and lakes, and he is ruthless, and he is the first choice for assassination and assassination.

The method of assassination, he had not thought about it before, but there was no suitable person under his hands, so he did not use this method for a long time.

The strength of the Wudang brothers and uncles was enough, but Song Xuan had no intention of using them to assassinate them.

These people are too narrow-minded, and they attach too much importance to the reputation of the rivers and lakes, and when the time comes, if the enemy begs, they will let people go as soon as their hearts are soft, and the fun will be great!
