What Leng Zhuo was most worried about was that 'the accurate news from the imperial capital called what the head of the Nangong family said was true', and the Qin mission sent this time was enough to make Leng Zhuo feel a headache, 'because this person is not another family', it is the Beicheng family who has had a holiday with Leng Zhuo.

Last year, in Dijing, Leng Zhuo let the second master of the Beicheng family, Beicheng Imperial Sword, not come to the stage in public, but it hurt the Beicheng family very much, and as one of the four major families, although the Beicheng family's sphere of influence is in the north, the Beicheng family is also a big family with a deep heritage.

And this time, the people of the Beicheng family served as the Qincha, which shows that the new emperor's control of the imperial capital has been stabilized again, and it is obvious that the successive victories on the Huaishui line in Qingzhou have greatly consolidated the rule of the new emperor, although there are not many places that the new emperor can control.

A few days ago, when Guo Jia conveyed the news to Leng Zhuo, Leng Zhuo left Yunxian County and returned to Nanping to wait for the news, and when the news arrived, Leng Zhuo's last bit of luck was gone, and he had to carefully consider the three strategies that had been shelved before.

However, it seems that among the three strategies, the 'medium' and the lower two strategies are not very desirable, because whether it is directly 'or cover-up', the impact is very large, and when most of Chuzhou and Yangzhou are still under the banner of the empire, Leng Zhuo is tantamount to putting himself on the opposite side of the empire, and even if he can overthrow the empire's rule in Chuzhou, it is not conducive to future expansion.

What's more, there are really many people who are willing to follow him to rebel? This question is very practical, don't look at the Weeping Blood Valley, now the rich people have gathered, 'it has become a paradise', but once he raises the banner to rebel, it is estimated that most of the people will disperse, and the trade with Yangzhou will also be affected, and even the marriage with the Nangong family will also fail.

Retreating seems to be Leng Zhuo's only choice.

"Everyone is here, then let's get straight to the point" Dijing has sent detailed information, 'The Qin Messenger is a member of the Beicheng family', needless to say, if you retreat as advance, you must face three problems!''

"First, how to protect rights and interests, second, how to ensure military power, and third, how to protect the situation. If none of these three issues are conclusive, "retreating will only cost us the opportunity!"

After getting the exact news, Leng Zhuo thought a lot, but one person was short, and three people were long, not to mention the ministers recruited by Leng Zhuo, but they were all talented in governing the world.

The cadres present glanced at each other and knew that the young master had made up his mind, and all that remained was how to make the strategy of retreating to advance achieve the desired goal.

"According to the information sent back by Zhou, 'Li Tang's army has landed in many places in Guangling Mansion with the help of the Tianhe Water Division', and the number of soldiers and horses mobilized is no less than eight Zhichong Lu's total strength' is about 100,000, 'all of which are Li Tang's elite soldiers and horses' have been tested in the previous series of battles!''

"And on the battlefield of Chuxi, the Holy Sect Army has also been assembled again, and is carrying out a large-scale formation, maybe it will only be ten days and a half months, and it will launch an offensive again!"

"And in Jialin Mansion in the southwest, the two eastern counties occupied by the noble army instigated by our side are now in danger, and Panlong City is also surrounded by the north and south!"

"The rebellion in Nanlin Mansion is also showing a trend of burning the prairie and threatening our rear!"

"And at present, in addition to the unknown Python Division stationed between the north of Xiyan Mansion and Xiaoxiang Mansion, at present, in the hands of the Empire, there are only two Vermilion Bird Divisions, two Python Divisions, two Vermilion Bird Divisions, and almost one Rock Legion with more than one division. ‘’

"Among them, only the two Python Divisions have a relatively good preservation rate, and the two old Suzaku Divisions stationed in the Suzaku Mansion have lost two or three percent in the last battle, although they have made up for the number of people, but their combat effectiveness has declined significantly, and the remnants of the Rock Legion are mostly soldiers and horses on the side of the less master!''

"However, the local brigades that were reorganized in various provinces at the beginning are more like time bombs 'according to the current situation'! ’’

Zhuge Liang didn't directly answer Leng Zhuo's question, but said the battle reports summarized everywhere one by one, 'Of course, this is not without purpose.

"And taking the current situation, 'the young master is 'taking a step back' at this time, which is also in line with the current situation, and the three questions raised by the young master 'can also be split to deal with!''

"The young master now has only one title on his head as a logistics transfer envoy of the rebel army, and after giving up, the young master will lose control of the baggage battalion, and will also lose the control of many grain depots such as Nanping, and will also lose the logistics that he spent a lot of money to control before. ’’

"At present, the main body of the Chuzhou rebel army, the three major legions are actually incomplete, the Rock Legion is almost inadequate, and it has been completely abandoned, and the Python Legion is the most well-preserved, but it will soon face the threat of Li Tang, and the remaining Vermilion Bird Legion has been rebuilt, but its strength has decreased significantly, so it is no longer meaningful to control the logistics and then control the rebel army!," "However, in this process, we have invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build many granaries and "baggage camps" that have been built, but we can't just give up like this' Fortunately, only part of the grain in many warehouses such as Nanping is owned by the rebel army, and most of the rest belongs to the young master, so before that, we have to complete the transfer from the official warehouse to the private warehouse!'

Leng Zhuo frowned, food is one of the big sticks wielded by Leng Zhuo, and it is also the top priority of the business some time ago, but things always change faster than planned' How could Leng Zhuo think that the Nine Emperor Prince Situ Ming would forcibly enter the imperial capital' When he became the emperor, how could he predict that the 'four princes supporting the army and respecting themselves' would lead to the division of the empire. He couldn't have imagined that the Holy Church would suddenly appear and defeat the Empire's crusading army.

And this series of changes not only disrupted Leng Zhuo's deployment, but also made the current plan completely infeasible, and now, "the rebel army is not going to be there", the logistics system he established is rootless, duckweed, "without a foundation", "naturally starving", but the massive amount of materials hoarded here has become the most headache.

'This question may be handled from a different angle!' Liu Bowen interjected, "Liu Bowen has always been responsible for the expansion of Nanping, the hoarding of materials, and the establishment of the logistics system, and has established some personal relations with the Jiang family, the nearby landlords, and even some officials in the city."

"Oh!'' Leng Zhuo turned his head and looked at Liu Bowen, 'Wait for the next step.''

"Although the south flat belongs to the official warehouse, it has long been abandoned, and now there is such a development, all because of the large investment of the young master, there is a revival of the south flat position, so if the young master wants to take the south flat into his arms, there is also enough reason for the "as long as the south flat is changed from an official warehouse to a private warehouse", there is no need to turn the material corner upside down!,'

Leng Zhuo nodded when he heard this, but he raised and asked, "It seems a bit difficult for Nan to close the position and become private!"

"It's man-made, and the Huang family and the Chen family may not only not stop it, but still acquiesce, 'After all, the young master is too popular now', and in the case of willing concessions, these two families will definitely only think that 'the young master is planning for the back road!' This is also beneficial to them." ’’

Leng Zhuo thought about it, "I think what Liu Bowen said makes sense" and said: "I will leave this matter to you" must be solved before the arrival of the Qin mission! The problem of food and materials can be put aside, "What about the logistics battalion", in this half a year, more than 100 heavy battalions have been formed one after another, with more than 60,000 people, "These are all recruits trained by us!",

"・ New moves'The heavy battalions that have been trained for a short time are all released'This time, more than 30 people who followed the young master to fight in Chuxi, after the baggage battalion was completed, they were directly transformed into our local guards in Nanxing Mansion, and we had previously drawn a large number of troops from the local guards' and now we are transferring back'Nanxing Mansion is now under the control of the young master, and the upper and lower officials, including the nobles, are all on the same chariot with the young master, but it is trustworthy that 'if there are more', they will stay directly as a guard! If you want to ask about it, it can be said that you were martyred in battle with the Holy Sect army!''

Pang Tong said on the side, "And Leng Zhuo nodded when he heard this, and the order is to solve the problem of the baggage camp."

"If everyone agrees, this is also decided, and the next thing is the problem of the trade route" Chuzhou is in chaos, Chuzhou's production has declined very seriously, and the market is also in chaos, "lost Chuxi", if the northern part of Chuzhou and the central part of Chuzhou are also in war, "we are equivalent to cutting off an arm" and losing the Xiangshui River, "our trade routes with the outside world have also been completely cut off, and the reason why Jinhe has risen" is because there are Chuzhou and Yangzhou, the two major production areas and the market, "interconnected" Once the situation is out of our control, 'the Jinhe River will be greatly affected', especially in the north, Li Tang has begun to resume the Tianhe River transport, and once there is an improvement, this and the impact will be fatal to us!''

What is the war fighting 'not money' Leng Zhuo has the confidence to turn over the clouds and rain in Chuzhou, relying on what 'It is not Jinhe's powerful ability to absorb gold, once Jinhe falls silent because of the war, the large number of merchants who gather in the Weeping Blood Castle are likely to lose a large number of 'rich households' and the gold and silver that seem to be in the vault will be quickly withdrawn, and this is the most deadly.

The reason why Leng Zhuo took the lead in Chuxi's shoulders, and in an unfavorable situation, 'fighting against the powerful Holy Sect with a weak brigade' was because of this work

"Young Master's previous proposal, Young Master has considered it!'' Guo Jia said on the side.

Leng Zhuo looked at Guo Jia, and suddenly remembered what Guo Jia had said to him a few days ago, Guo Jia's proposal was to make an agreement with the high-level of the Holy Sect, 'because the Holy Sect is not a simple peasant rebel army', but a force with the purpose of recovering the country, and this is also the basis for cooperation between the two sides, 'There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.'

The previous big fight was because of interests, and after that, cooperation was also for interests, and the Holy Sect occupied Chuxi, so it was natural to restore local stability, and at the same time, it also needed money to maintain itself, after all, it could not last long only by relying on looted gold and silver.

When a war closes a door, it opens a window, and once the two sides reach an agreement, Leng Zhuo's interests will not only not be damaged, but will be even more profitable. (To be continued.)
