But they were lucky.

At this moment, the matter of the Western Realm broke out, and in order to resist the Zhenxi Army of the Western Realm, the imperial court could not spare its hands to fight the Northern Lands at all, giving them the opportunity to grow slowly.

Zhang He also knew that this was his chance.

But before that, he had to eliminate his weaknesses, and he also knew where his weaknesses were, there were many people but not fine, it was useless, he had to train an elite army.

Don't wait for the arrival of the imperial army, and don't even have the strength to fight.

Other than that, it was the "internal affairs" of the rebel army, and there were no rules to speak of.

In the past, they were oppressed people, but after taking up arms, they also became people who oppressed others, and their methods were more cruel than those who oppressed them in the first place.

Therefore, we must sort out a set of military discipline to restrain it.

However, Zhang He has never been a soldier or an official, how can he understand this.

Therefore, he issued a recruitment order.

After a period of searching, he really found a talent.

Because of the other party's words: "What I Wu asked for in my life, like Taizu, is nothing more than a world peace." At that time, Chu Taizu was able to establish the Chu State, and many people said that it was the people and the sect who helped each other, but in fact, he was not afraid, he relied on thousands of people at the bottom, and it was they who helped Taizu establish the Chu State."

In this regard, Zhang He agreed with him very much, and asked, "When will this cannibalistic and dark world be calmed down."

The other party said: "Before the establishment of the Chu State, when the Thirteen Kingdoms were in turmoil, Chu Taizu rose from the common people, he was open-minded and generous by nature, knew people well, did not kill people indiscriminately, and achieved the emperor's foundation in three years and unified the Thirteen Kingdoms. And now that the state of Chu has been chaotic, there are Southern Zhou outside, and there is Zhenxi Hou in the west to dominate one side, if you follow the law of Chu Taizu, the world can be calm, and this world can be peaceful."

Zhang He praised him for being reasonable, and immediately worshiped him as a military advisor and asked him to rectify military discipline.

And let his little Zhao Zhiyong take three hundred warriors to be Wuhe's personal soldiers, close protection, and wait for dispatch.

After Wu He took office, he immediately issued a series of bans, and in a short period of time, they had certain results, giving the rebel army a new look.

Although this also made many people unbearable and quit, it was more than a little better than before.

Zhang He trusted and attached more importance to Wuhe.

Gradually, Wuhe gained a certain prestige in the rebel army.

One night, Wu He came to a no-man's land, released a carrier pigeon, and then muttered to himself: "Don't worry, Master Guoshi, I will definitely live up to your expectations, and after a while, I will be able to completely control this rebel army and make it the vanguard of my Southern Zhou."

Half a month later, Jingshi.

The news of Chen Mo and Du Zijin's marriage reached Jingshi, which caused an uproar in Jingshi.

It's not just talking, it's actually doing.

The current situation is like the gloomy weather over the capital, with black clouds pressing on the top, making it difficult for people to breathe.

In the imperial study, the courtiers who had just been called by the emperor in the early court stood with their hands down, and a series of unfavorable news came, which had made them lose their former arrogance, and their faces were filled with sadness that gathered but not dispersed.

Chen Mo, the traitor, really became the son-in-law of Zhenxi Hou.

Then Zhenxihou is also a traitor, there is no doubt about it.

At that time, some of the Zhenxi Hou who were helped by the Yin and Yang family, judging from the current situation of the imperial court, were somewhat stretched, and once the fight started, it was really hard to say who would win and who would lose.

Coupled with the eyes of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the ministers had a feeling that a catastrophe was coming.

Faced with this predicament, Chu Jinnan is obviously the most annoyed, this is his Chu family's country, if it is not handled well, this thousand-year-old country will have to be planted in his hands, he scolded Zhenxi Hou angrily in front of all the ministers: "Brother trusts him and lets him guard the western boundary, for many years, nothing has been wronged to him, but he is a wolf and a wolf, and he is self-respecting, and the main force of the barbarians has long been exterminated, and the entire barbarian clan is only in sight, but at this time, he ordered the withdrawal of troops and raised him hard...

Now, he has made a traitor his son-in-law

His heart can be punished."

The courtiers listened to Chu Jinnan's roar, looked at each other a few times, and didn't know what to say.

Qiao Yiyang, who had just moved to Jingshi, waited for Chu Jinnan to finish his anger, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Zhenxi Hou Chen Bing is outside Zhenxi Pass, and he has not moved for a long time, according to the ministers, he just attracted the attention of the imperial court, so that Chen Mo rescued the little marquis, and he didn't really want to go to war, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, even if the little marquis was rescued from Beijing, Zhenxi Hou did not attack Zhenxi Pass, which means that he didn't expect to fight, but just wanted to be the emperor of the soil in the western realm......

Therefore, the minister suggested that we can negotiate peace with the Marquis of Zhenxi for the time being, and wait until the rebellion in the north is resolved by sending troops to settle the rebellion in the north, and then make plans."

Qiao Yiyang's suggestion is indeed more pertinent.

But the court is a vanity fair, and it is indispensable to female cadres, Zhang Guifei's father, who was also supported by Chu Jinnan to fight against the family's Zhang Shigui, stepped forward at this moment and said: "According to the minister's understanding, before Lord Qiao came to Beijing, the heads of the two lineages of Qiao Jia'an and Wu led the clansmen of the two veins to take refuge in the Zhenxi Hou with a large amount of money and grain, and now Lord Qiao has asked His Majesty to negotiate peace with the Zhenxi Hou, isn't it buying time for the Zhenxi Hou, re-recruiting the 300,000 Zhenxi troops that were withdrawn before, and then... While our army is attacking the Northland, we will break through Zhenxi Pass in one fell swoop."

As soon as these words came out, even the courtiers who didn't want to do anything about it were shocked into a cold sweat, and Qiao Yiyang was directly frightened to his knees, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, Lord Zhang is framed, when An and Wu took refuge in Zhenxi Hou, the minister was not in Longxi, the minister... If you don't know, I hope Your Majesty will know it."

"Whether it was framed or not, Master Qiao knows it in his heart." Zhang Shigui sneered twice.

was said by Zhang Shigui, although Chu Jinnan did not blame Qiao Yiyang, he did not adopt his suggestions.

On the other side, the western boundary.

Xu Lie and Wu Shixian found Gu Jing with wine, and the three of them drank it in a private room in a restaurant.

After a pound of wine, Xu Lie grinned and said, "Alas, I don't know what the Hou Ye thinks, isn't it enough to be angry with the imperial court? Now that we have money, soldiers and food, as well as the help of the Yibin and the Yin and Yang family, we will go to the Beijing Division, it will be no problem at all, and then pull Chu Jinnan's kid off the dragon chair, isn't it good for the Hou Ye to sit on it..."

"Brother Xu, you are too drunk, be cautious." Wu Shixian said.

"Phew, just these few taels of cat urine, can Lao Tzu drink big? Strategist, you say, what does Master Hou think?" Xu Lie looked at Gu Jing opposite.

"General Xu, you don't understand, Master Hou is the first in the world, once a war starts, it will only be the people who will suffer, and when the Southern Zhou Dynasty comes in, it will even lead to the destruction of the country, and at this time, we will become sinners." Gu Jing said.
