Jindu, the conference hall, looking at the group of guards who didn't move, Cui Zheng's eyes flashed a touch of murderous intent, there was no nonsense, and he directly drew his sword and stabbed Lu Chao.

Since Lu Chao appeared at this time, and it seemed that everyone present was already on Lu Chao's side, it was obvious that he had enough confidence to seize power, and it was useless to shock or scold everyone angrily, the top priority was to get rid of this scourge first, and then talk about anything else, Cui Zheng still had this judgment and courage.

"Bell~"

A spear drilled out from behind Lu Chao, blocking Cui Zheng's sword, and at the same time, a gang qi protected Lu Chao in front of him, helping him block the gang qi generated by the intersection of the two sides.

"Bastard!" Cui Zheng looked at the people who came, but felt that a wave of blood rushed straight to Niu Dou, and shouted angrily: "Mu Tianbao, you also betray me!?" ”

For Mu Tianbao, Cui Zheng has made great efforts to win over, which can be said to be extremely favorable, even closer than his own son, luck is given priority, and all kinds of resources are never stingy, but in the end what he got was betrayal, Cui Zheng was incomprehensible, he was not angry when the generals betrayed him, and he was not angry when the civil and military forces were silent, but Mu Tianbao's betrayal made Cui Zheng difficult to accept.

"My life was saved by Mr., and when I was most helpless, it was Mr. who gave me a chance to live!" Mu Tianbao said in a deep voice.

"He gave you a chance to live, but don't you forget who gave you today!?" Cui Zheng roared with red eyes.

"The grace of my lord, Tianbao remembers, after today's events, the last general is willing to repay with his life!" Mu Tianbao bowed.

"Good, good!" Cui Zheng smiled angrily, stretched out his hand, and there was already an extra jade seal in his hand, it was the seal of mountains and rivers, he looked at Lu Chao and sneered: "I really think you won?" ”

Jinzhou luck with its thoughts, began to converge to this side, but the convergence of luck is very little, this bit of luck is more than enough to deal with the six products, but it is difficult to do anything to the five masters, Cui Zheng is a little unbelievable, this is a state of luck, under normal circumstances, the four products and even the three products can be suppressed, why is there only this now?

"The army's heart is scattered, the people's hearts are in turmoil, the eight counties of Jinzhou, now in addition to here, the remaining seven counties have chosen to stand on their own, although the mountains and rivers can be used to refine the luck, but they can't be born out of thin air, you should be glad that the people's grievances have been washed by the mountains and rivers, otherwise you don't have to do it, this grievance alone is enough to make you feel painful!" Lu Chao shook his head and stretched out his hand to look at Cui Zhengdao: "Lord Cui, the general trend has gone, you have mastered the mountain and river seal for 20 years, and you have also enjoyed the luck of Jinzhou for 20 years, and now the people's heart has gone, hand over the mountain and river seal, at least you can save your life, and you can also protect the Cui family's wealth!" If you are obsessed and the jade is burned, I am afraid that the Cui family will be extinct from now on! Is this really what adults want? ”

Cui Zheng stared at Lu Chao and sneered, "Do you think that the Dao Alliance will agree to you to do this?" ”

After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Qingwei Zhenren, Qingwei Zhenren help me!" ”

However, no one responded for a long time, and Cui Zheng immediately turned around and wanted to leave with the mountain and river seal.

A sigh sounded, and a formation suddenly lit up all around, blocking his way.

Looking at the formation pattern that stopped him in front of him, Cui Zheng looked at the figure that appeared behind the formation pattern with some distraction, and said in a lost voice: "Qingwei real person? Why? ”

"What the Dao Alliance wants is to deal with the Guiyi Sect, as for who is the master of Jinzhou, it makes no difference to the Dao League! You have fallen into the enemy's strategy this time, it is difficult to maintain the situation in Jinzhou, if you come to attack at this time, Jinzhou is in danger! Lu Chao said with emotion: "I was ordered to come here in order to unite Jinzhou against the Unified Religion, since the adults are no longer able to take charge of Jinzhou, then I can only replace them." ”

"You are clearly plotting against me Jinzhou, you can obviously stop all this!" Cui Zheng said angrily.

"It started to stop it five years ago." Lu Chao stretched out his hand to look at Cui Zhengdao: "But my lord and the officials of Jinzhou were blinded by interests and failed to see the crisis, and when you want to look for me, it is already difficult to return, how can I stop it?" Adults don't listen to good advice, but in the end, they blame me for not stopping it in time? Look at these people around, which one is not a minister of the Cui family in the past? ”

When Cui Zheng heard this, he looked at his former advisers and generals around him, but at this moment, he avoided his gaze one by one and did not dare to look at him.

Obviously, Mu Tianbao is not the only one who is against him, obviously these people were also against Lu Chao at the beginning, but now they are on Lu Chao's side.

"As a monarch, your vision cannot be limited to the present." Lu Chao stepped forward and reached out to grab the mountain and river seal in Cui Zheng's hand.

Cui Zheng pinched the mountain and river seal with his five fingers, staring at Lu Chao deadly.

"Even if you kill me now, you won't be able to level this Jinzhou, you have already missed it once, do you want to be wrong again?" Lu Chao looked at Cui Zheng and sighed: "Let go at this time, at least you can protect your own wealth, and you can also ensure that the Cui family dies well, I don't want the mountains and rivers seal, I can also leave Jinzhou immediately, but adults have to think about it?" Now the situation in Jinzhou, can you calm down? ”

Cui Zheng stared at Lu Chao deadly: "Can you really protect my Cui family?" ”

"Yes." Lu Chao nodded: "But the kindness that Tianbao owes you will be offset." ”

Cui Zheng looked at Mu Tianbao on the side, hesitated, and finally sighed, reluctantly let go of the mountain and river seal, took a deep breath and said: "From today on, I have nothing to do with General Mu, and the kindness and righteousness of the past have been cleared so far!" ”

At the same time, a scroll of jade slips emerged from his body and fell towards Lu Chao, where Lu Chao reached out and caught it.

"Congratulations, my lord!" All the officials present bowed down one after another and bowed to the landing.

"Everyone, go your own way, send people to the counties, inform the counties, I will raise the grain and grass soon, within three months, let the county Taishou come to Jindu to report on his work, and at the same time inform the generals of all walks of life, appease the officers and soldiers of the army, the matter of grain and grass will be resolved within a month, and within a month, if you are still obsessed, you will be dealt with by military law." Lu Chao held the mountain and river seals in his hand and looked at the Jinzhou civil and martial arts.

"Wait for the order!" These officials had already made a promise to Lu Chao before, plus now that the situation in Jinzhou is erosive, there is no future for Cui Zheng, and Lu Chao persuaded Qingxuan Daozong to help him, this is the reason why everyone is willing to follow Lu Chao.

"I wonder how the adults are going to solve this matter of food and grass?" Cui Zheng looked at Lu Chao and sneered, he couldn't figure out where to get food if he wanted to break his head, and Dao Meng was not responsible for this.

"I went to southern Xinjiang before, and I have reached a trade agreement with several tribes in southern Xinjiang, and promised to lend me grain, of course, the premise is to return it three times in the next ten years!" Lu Chao did not hide it, he did have dealings with southern Xinjiang, after all, there was a relationship with Gu Hui, but the content of the trade was not food, saying that this was just used to appease the people, and the military food that was thrown away, the grain that the people had to buy at a high price, is now in Lu Chao's hands.

What Lu Chao has to do is just to exchange the grain for all kinds of food in southern Xinjiang, southern Xinjiang is short of grain, but there is no shortage of food, all kinds of meat, vegetables and fruits, southern Xinjiang is never lacking.

What he wants is to carry out trade cooperation with the southern Xinjiang side through this matter, and it is best to incorporate the tribes of southern Xinjiang into the territory of Jinzhou.

"Southern Xinjiang? They have a problem eating on their own, will they help you? Cui Zheng sneered.

"That's my business, do you want to continue to be a leader?" Lu Chao looked at Cui Zheng and said with a smile: "The adult is a five-grade master of Confucianism and martial arts, if you want to continue to be a master, Lu will not treat the adult badly." ”

Cui Zheng looked at Lu Chao, shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go to Zhangzhou, and I hope the adults will let me go!" ”

It's okay to take refuge in the Xie family, Lu Chao is just a dog of the Xie family, and now even if he is down, it is impossible for him to be his subordinate!

"That's a pity, adults want to leave, you can do it at any time." Lu Chao bowed slightly.

"Humph!" Cui Zheng snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.

"Heavenly protection!" Lu Chao turned his head and looked at Mu Tianbao.

"In!"

"You don't have to be so restrained, you immediately integrate the Jindu soldiers and horses, I will give you the post of Jindu Wuwei General, the grain, grass, and baggage will be given priority, and within a month, I want this army to obey my command!" Lu Chao wrote down a general order, stamped it with the seal of mountains and rivers, and looked at Mu Tianbaodao.

"Yes!" Mu Tianbao took the order with both hands and turned to leave.

"Lord Lu, don't forget the covenant between you and me!" Qingwei saw everyone leaving, and only then did she appear beside Lu Chao.

"Real people rest assured, at most three months, after Jinzhou is stabilized, the mountains and rivers will be handed over in the next place." Lu Chao looked at Qingwei Zhenren and said with a smile.

"That's very good, poor farewell." Qingwei Zhenren nodded, his body moved, and disappeared into the council hall.

Lu Chao looked at the mountain and river seal in his hand, smiled and shook his head.

In the next month, Lu Chao began to issue orders one by one, first of all, most of the border generals chose to surrender after Lu Chao took out the promised grain and grass, and four of the seven counties chose to surrender, all of which Lu Chao prepared in advance.

After having these family backgrounds, Lu Chao did not rush to attack, but posted lists in various counties, because of the previous problems, now the government is unable to make ends meet, and it can no longer maintain the operation of the Fumin Chamber of Commerce, but will establish a price bureau to control the prices in the market.

At the same time, because of the housing market in the past two years, the damage to people's property has been restricted, and the government will carry out long-term trade cooperation with southern Xinjiang, and will open trade routes one after another to encourage normal trade between merchants and southern Xinjiang.

In the third month, with the gradual stabilization of various places, Lu Chao ordered Mu Tianbao to send troops to quell the rebellion, and at the same time sent the generals sent by the Guiyi Sect into the army, and began to gradually replace the original border generals according to military merits.

In this matter, Lu Chao showed an iron-blooded side, and all officials who followed these rebellions were beheaded regardless of the reason.

In less than three months, Jinzhou, which was originally in chaos, actually regained its calm, of course, it was not as high as before, but luck also began to slowly recover.

Lu Chao wanted to invite Fan Hong, but Fan Hong refused.

And the March period agreed with Qingwei Zhenren has also arrived, and according to the agreement, Lu Chao should hand over the mountain and river seal.
