The Xiao family is a wealthy family in Jiangnan.

The family's businesses are spread all over the country, and the news they know is no less than what the emperor knows.

The Xiao family even knew some information better than the emperor.

When the clan elder who was called third uncle by Xiao Ronggui said this, the whole hall became quiet for a while.

The Qiao family’s hedging of their bets is not a new example.

Moreover, the Zhenxi Army has now approached Jingshui County, less than a thousand miles away from the capital.

And judging from the current situation, the overall strength of the Zhenxi Army is better than that of the imperial court.

If the Marquis of Zhenxi overthrows the imperial court, then the current situation in the world will definitely be reshuffled.

When I took refuge with the Qiao family in the past, that was the merit of following the dragon.

A family like the Chu family that is deeply involved with the royal family will definitely be liquidated in the future if they don't make plans early.

In the face of the rise and fall of the family, the life and death of a clan member does not matter, even if she is the current queen.

The third uncle’s words were recognized by many members of the Xiao family.

Xiao Ronggui wanted to say something more, but at this time of life and death, he finally said no more and looked at Xiao Teng.

His fingers lightly tapped the armrests of the chair. After careful consideration, Xiao Teng said: "Chen Mo's release from the court is obviously intended to win over the Xiao family. In the current situation, it is not a bad thing to have contact with him, but the court cannot let the court know this.

Know, and see what the imperial court does to its own court."

……

The other side.

The Marquis of Zhenxi did not really attack the capital of Nanzhou, but just scared them. Currently, he does not have the strength, and he also started a fight with Nanzhou while fighting against the imperial court.

After some looting in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Marquis of Zhenxi led his troops to withdraw from Longmen Pass.

Of course, they were much more merciful than the Southern Zhou Dynasty who plundered Chu.

After all, the Zhenxi Army only looted property.

The Southern Zhou army burned, killed and looted.

As for whether the Southern Zhou Army will retaliate?

Judging from the current situation, there is definitely no way to retaliate in the short term.

The Battle of Fuyou City.

The Battle of Longmen Pass.

It can be said that the Southern Zhou Dynasty suffered heavy losses and could not spare any time to attack them.

After withdrawing from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Marquis of Zhenxi did not lead his army back to the western border, but rushed directly to Jingshui County to prepare for the final decisive battle with the imperial court.

……

Fuyou City.

Chen Mo organized all the captured black cavalry troops into the Tianshi Army and the Zhenxi Army.

As a result, the number of 500,000 Heavenly Masters increased to 600,000.

In front of the Yamen.

Li Kegang bid farewell to Chen Mo.

Now that the troops in the western border are empty, he cannot stay in the southwest for long and must go back quickly.

Chen Mo didn't try to stay, most of his women were in the Western Border.

Chen Mo doesn't care about their safety.

It seems that Chen Mo is also leaving Fuyou City and going to Jingshui County to meet up with the Marquis of Zhenxi.

However, after the Black Cavalry Army and the Tianshi Army are completely integrated, Chen Mo will definitely leave 200,000 troops to guard Fuyou City.

If the Southern Zhou Dynasty gets mad, they will attack the Southwest.

If we don't leave troops in Fuyou City, wouldn't it mean that the Southern Zhou Dynasty would treat it as a no-man's land, with people coming and going in and out?

After Li Kegang left, Chen Mo called Wu Yunhe.

In terms of merit in the battle of Fuyou City.

Wuyunhe is a well-deserved top scorer.

Without him, they would not have been able to take Fuyou City, let alone severely inflict heavy damage on the Southern Zhou army and break through Longmen Pass.

Chen Mo naturally wanted to reward him well.

Now Chen Mo has relaxed his guard against him.

Because Wu Yunhe has no way out, now Nanzhou knows that Wu Yunhe is a traitor, and wants to cut him into pieces.

If he wants to survive, he can only rely on himself.

Of course, it is impossible to completely relax your guard against him.

It just gave Wu Yunhe a lot of power to stabilize his mind.

A first-level warrior can also provide a lot of help later.

……

Mid-September.

Chen Mo left behind 200,000 troops and took the remaining 400,000 Tianshi troops, leaving Fuyou City and rushing to Jingshui County.

In mid-October, Chen Mo led his army to Jingshui County and met up with the Marquis of Zhenxi.

At this time, the total number of troops in Jingshui County, excluding logistics, was nearly 700,000.

Judging from the news that the Yin and Yang family has inquired about, the number of troops mobilized by the imperial court from various places to the capital so far is only about 300,000.

The military strength is twice that of the imperial court.

In terms of the number of strong men, their side is also superior.

In terms of territory, the imperial court is clearly superior to Zhenxihou.

But in fact, in some places, the imperial court has stopped moving.

After careful calculation, even in terms of territory, the two sides are almost the same.

Jingshui County is only a thousand miles away from Kyoto, and passes through Wangzhou, Suzhou, Jianan, and Yangchuan along the way. This is already the inner hinterland of the Central Plains. Adding Jiangnan and Fengzhou, this is also the last territory that the Chu family of Chu State can control.

.

Moreover, these places are all flat and cannot withstand the iron cavalry of the Zhenxi Army.

It can be said that only the final decisive battle is left.

The Marquis of Zhenxi needed to plan carefully and did not just push forward.

On the surface, the victory seems to be on their side, but if the losses are too great, even if they win in the end, there will be nothing to celebrate.

After all, if the losses are too great, you will not be able to truly control the entire Chu State. When the Southern Zhou Dynasty takes advantage of your instability, it will come out to cause chaos again, and the entire Chu State will fall apart.

This battle is not a counter-insurgency or a small fight between two forces, but a change of ownership that represents the change of names and surnames in this world.

While Zhenxihou was planning, a rumor spread in Jingshui County.

This rumor was arranged by Chen Mo.

He asked the Marquis of Zhenxi to be careful about Chen Mo, saying that Chen Mo was ambitious and had big plans. He had finally conquered the world, but in the end he let Chen Mo sit down.

Although smart people all know that this must be a rumor started by the people in Jingshui County to drive a wedge between Chen Mo and Zhenxihou.

But it did cause quite a commotion.

First of all, Chen Mo is no longer the rookie in the military he once was.

The Battle of Zhenxiguan.

A battle in Fuyou City.

This greatly enhanced Chen Mo's prestige in the military.

The most important thing is that Chen Mo also has his own army - the Tianshi Army.

After being incorporated into the Black Cavalry Army, although its combat power is not as good as that of the Zhenxi Army, it can no longer be underestimated.

He also has the support of the Yin and Yang family.

It can be said that if you want to become emperor, you have a good chance of winning.

This makes the confidants of Zhenxihou who want to be ministers of Conglong have to be wary.

But Chen Mozhi is not here. At this moment, he holds Du Zijin in his arms and holds her face. The greasy skin on both sides of her cheeks flows between his fingers.

Du Zijin closed her beautiful eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembling, and she could only let out a soft snort from her nose.

After a while, Chen Mo looked at Du Zijin, whose cheeks were as bright as peach blossoms and had a delicate spirit, and said, "Sister Zijin, you should be almost broken, right?"

Re-cultivating is more difficult than breaking up a person who has just started practicing cultivation.

Not to mention, Du Zijin lost his cultivation due to poisoning and started to rebuild.
