Chu Jiang nodded slightly, only in this way can he explain why the Great Yan Imperial Court would be crowned king at this juncture, in order to send lobbyists over openly and honestly to conduct a long-term lobbying.

From the beginning of the two princes' establishment of the feudal domain, until the fall of the Great Yan Ancestor, this period of time was the time for the two princes to lobby. can pull back one by one, in the Hundred Battles Hall, the weakest is also a master of the Xuan Realm, and if he can win a few martial artists of the Xuan Realm for the Great Yan Imperial Court, the purpose of King Duan and King Su will be achieved. If you win the master of the Yuangang Realm, it will be even more unexpected.

Tongxuan Realm, in Dayan, is already a top master, and every one of them in Dayan is an official above the third grade. In the entire Liangshan Army, there are only two masters of the Xuan Realm, which shows that the masters of the Xuan Realm are more powerful than rare.

"What does the public think we should do now in view of the current situation in the north?" Chu Jiang's gaze was once again on Chen Gong, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

In the past, he only asked about the general trend of the northern realm, but this time he asked about the plan, the latter is much more important than the former, Chu Jiang hopes to get a better strategy from this strategist to help Chu Jiang develop his power.

Chen Gong pondered for a moment, bowed to Chu Jiang and said, "My lord, I think that we currently have two problems that need to be solved!" ”

"Those two, please speak on the public platform!" Chu Jiang raised his hand and made a gesture of please, and his face became serious.

"First, adults don't have a foundation!"

"If you want to succeed, you need a foundation, and the people are the foundation of the country! We need the support of the people, and the war is fought with logistical national strength, and without the support of the people, there will be no food sources, no logistical subsidies, and everything will be impossible to talk about. ”

"The master under your command now has begun to take shape, but it still can't be called a force. The most fundamental reason is that there is no territory of its own, there are no people under its rule, and all logistics materials are provided by the Dayan court. Chen Gong said seriously.

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, "That's true, but now that Dayan and the King of Beiliang are powerful, we are not their opponents for the time being, and now we are hidden in the shadows, which is the best choice." ”

"What your lord said is good, the situation is indeed impossible to get out of now, but not being able to expose the army does not mean that this cannot be grounded!" Chen Gong said.

"What's the plan?" Chu Jiang immediately asked.

"My lord, the entire northern border can be regarded as the foundation, all behind the three-hundred-mile fortress, taking Liangshan Prefecture as an example, the seven counties of Liangshan Prefecture are the foundation of the entire Liangshan Prefecture, the area of the seven counties of Liangshan is only two-thirds of the entire Liangshan Prefecture, but it has ninety percent of the population of the northern territory!"

"There is the essence of the entire Liangshan Prefecture, most of the grain in Liangshan Prefecture is produced there, and the soldiers of Liangshan Prefecture also come from the rear. Although the number of troops in the rear was not large, the entire Liangshan army was all arranged in the three-hundred-mile fortress. But without the support of the seven counties behind, the 150,000 Liangshan army would not last long and would be destroyed. ”

After a pause, Chen Gong then spoke: "However, the most important foundation land in the northern realm is the least noticeable existence in the northern realm, whether it is the Duan King, the Beiliang King, or even the Baizhan Hall, their eyes are all on the army on the front line, and they have never fallen on these foundation lands. ”

Chu Jiang showed a thoughtful look, and then, his eyes suddenly lit up!

Well, you are a strategist!

Chu Jiang didn't care about the seven counties in the rear before, because whoever has the military power in his hands, the seven counties in the rear are naturally in his hands, as long as the entire northern army is in his pocket, the seven counties in the rear, as soon as the army arrives, it will naturally be his own.

And as the old saying goes, I will garrison the grain next door, and I will never worry about running out of food to eat. With a large army in hand, naturally there is no way to live!

But Chen Gong's words woke up Chu Jiang, there was no land and no people under his rule, but as long as there was an army, he would definitely not be hungry, but it was limited to starving.

But after mastering the territory, the annual income is more. The two most important points of a force are strength, a strong army, and a strong warrior. And the other is money, it costs money to raise troops, it costs money to develop forces, everything needs to cost money.

Now Chu Jiang's combat strength is quite large-scale, that is, in terms of money, he is still a poor battalion captain. The most money Chu Jiang had seen in his life was the one that the Right Guards were snatching from the gambling house before······

Nowadays, in the C-shaped military town, the iron needed by the soldiers to cast weapons is still obtained by Jinyiwei from the outside to rob the rich and help the poor.

Chen Gong is right, it's time to make money, all of Chu Jiang's income now comes from the imperial court, and there is no other income. Counting on the few taels of silver issued by the imperial court, fortunately, Cheng Yanjin and other summoned characters are loyal, and they will not rebel without silver, otherwise the people under Chu Jiang's command are afraid that the rebellion will be over.

Chen Gong on the side then spoke: "My lord, the heads of the seven counties behind are all officials of the imperial court, and there are only some officials under his command, and a group of government soldiers are extremely weak. Adults can send brocade guards, find out the details of everyone, and secretly control a group of officials and their families. ”

"After that, he secretly collected the government for his own use, and while not alarming the court, he secretly accumulated as much silver and grain as possible for his own use."

Before Chu Jiang could speak, Cheng Yanjin on the side immediately clapped his hands and said, "It's still you literati, we martial artists, our eyes are on the army, but we have forgotten about logistics!" ”

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement, the strategy given by Chen Gong was not safe, and the attention of King Duan and King Beiliang was on the army and the Hundred Battle Hall, which was an indisputable fact.

But there are a lot of secret guards and shadow guards in the rear, and a group of civil officials will inevitably be taken care of, and it is not easy to control the palace of the imperial court under the noses of the shadow guards and shadow guards. Not to mention that there are Duanwang, Beiliang Wang, and even Baizhan Hall behind this, if one is not good, it will inevitably cause a backlash.

However, with the presence of Jinyi Wei, coupled with Ji Gang, a six-fold grandmaster powerhouse in the Yuangang Realm, and someone whose real combat power is comparable to that of the great grandmaster of the Zhengang Realm, all this can be completely realized.

A hint of determination flashed in Chu Jiang's eyes, since it can be achieved, then do it. There is a lot of risk, but it's worth the risk compared to financial freedom.

And after the government is controlled by its own people, it has great benefits to Jinyiwei, not to mention anything else, the sales records of the houses in the city, just this, can make Jinyiwei seamlessly integrate into the major cities in the north.

When the time comes, with the help of the government officials, the Jinyi guard will become dark, and the dark guard and shadow guard will become light!
