"General, here are the three strategies to quell chaos presented by Wan Sheng to the general."
Back at the camp, Zhao Wenbin was completely honest and told him all the so-called three strategies to quell chaos.
After listening to Zhao Wenbin's words, Luo Xin finally had a smile on his face.
"Sir's strategy sounds brilliant. I wonder if you, sir, would like to stay by my side and help me achieve a great cause?" Luo Xin looked at Zhao Wenbin and asked.
Zhao Wenbin knew that all he had to do now was to say no and he would be on the path to reincarnation.
"Wansheng is willing to assist the general to achieve hegemony!" Zhao Wenbin upgraded his great cause to hegemony.
Luo Xin nodded with satisfaction and said: "From now on, sir, you will be my general's military advisor."
"You all heard it, right? From now on, Military Advisor Zhao will be one of our own! Please introduce yourselves."
Luo Xin motioned to his men and said.
All the thieves reported their names one by one, but only the big black man next to Luo Xin was the most enthusiastic.
"Commander Zhao! I have offended you so much just now. The two servants in my house..." Heizi brought a glass of wine and came to Zhao Wenbin's side.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Those two boys offended the general and deserved to die!" Zhao Wenbin waved his hands hurriedly.
In fact, he didn't even know which two were killed by Heizi.
"Haha! Military Advisor Zhao is really generous! We will be together for a long time, and I, Heizi, am the most loyal." Heizi smiled and toasted.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Wenbin took the wine glass and drank it before saying:
"The general is very brave and mighty, so we should get in touch with him more in the future."
"Okay, okay! Then I will go to your house for a drink when I have free time." A sincere smile appeared on Heizi's face.
Zhao Wenbin was slightly startled, but he did not dare to say anything more. He could only nod and said: "You are welcome at any time, haha."
From then on, the Zhao family, which had not had any heirs for many years, began to give birth to a new life.
…
At this time, the Liu brothers and sisters who were far away in Tanzhou also received a message from the special envoy.
"Curse?"
"Explosion?"
"Five hundred people were wiped out in an instant?"
The brother and sister looked at each other, obviously not believing the envoy's words.
If Liu He hadn't been a member of the Liu family, Liu Jinpeng would have thought that he was just making nonsense.
"Are those people really from Jiangzhou? Did they go south?" Liu Manqing asked with a frown.
She was no longer concerned about whether the punishment would be punishment from heaven or not. She couldn't make any guesses since she didn't see it.
But if they easily defeat Hou Jing, the next step may be to attack Tanzhou.
"It should be the troops of King Jiangzhou. But they have no intention of going south. They just occupied Xiangyin and made no other moves."
"They came from the direction of Baling. They probably occupied Baling before."
Liu He did not send anyone out to inquire for information, and could only observe through existing things.
However, before he came back, he made a special observation at the junction of Tanzhou and Yuezhou, and found that no pursuers were following.
"Second brother, do you think they will go south?" Liu Manqing was a little worried.
"It's hard to say! It's too convenient from Yuezhou to Tanzhou. If they have the strength, they will probably go south." Liu Jinpeng said with a gloomy face.
"Then what should we do now? Should we leave or stay?" Liu Manqing was undecided.
Liu Jinpeng looked at the map on the table and said:
"To the south you can go to Hengzhou and Shaozhou, and to the east you can go to Yuanzhou and Hongzhou."
"Hengzhou and Shaozhou are rich in natural resources and should be captured."
"Hongzhou is close to Jiangzhou. If we can capture it, it will also be a check on Jiangzhou, but the road there is not very easy."
"Let's send a team to try. The main force should be placed in Hengzhou and Shaozhou."
"As for Yuanzhou, that place has poor mountains and rivers, so we won't consider it."
Liu Jinpeng analyzed it and found that Yuanzhou, which Song Yang wanted most, had become an abandoned place in his eyes.
Of course, Yuanzhou was indeed not very wealthy at this time, and compared with several surrounding state capitals, its area was also the smallest.
"Then let's leave early. If they come after us, Ahe said that the punishment from heaven is really scary." Liu Manqing said nervously.
Liu Jinpeng thought for a while and said: "Hengzhou and Shaozhou want to take it, but Tanzhou can't give up."
"If we win Hengzhou and Shaozhou, this area will be connected."
"When the time comes, we can go anywhere from Lingnan to the south and Jiangnan to the east."
"With such a large territory, we might be able to counterattack Yuezhou or even reach Jiangzhou in two or three years at most!"
"At that time, we already occupied half of the entire Jiangnan!"
Liu Jinpeng said ambitiously.
Liu Manqing frowned when she heard this. She didn't have such great ambitions, she just wanted to let the people live a better life.
"Manqing, if we can really conquer the world, then the people will truly have a good life."
"The farmer has his own land, and the farmer has his own house. What kind of good life do we want the people to live?"
“Without the exorbitant taxes and hard labor, there will be no more injustice in the world, and there will no longer be unjust, false, or wrongful convictions...”
Liu Jinpeng began to instill a bright future in Liu Manqing.
Liu Manqing was fascinated when she heard this.
"Then just listen to the second brother!" Liu Manqing firmly believed.
"Okay! Let's pretend to attack Hongzhou first and test Jiangzhou's reaction. The main force will be transferred to the south, ready to capture Hengzhou and Shaozhou at any time."
"As for Tanzhou, build more forts and hold on to them! I don't believe that their natural punishment can tear down our forts!"
Liu Jinpeng slammed the table and finalized matters for the next period of time.
"Ahem!" The hesitation was too exciting, which affected the wound, and Liu Jinpeng coughed violently.
The injury last time was too serious, and it has been more than a month since I recovered.
"Second brother! How are you? Go and have a rest!" Liu Manqing hurriedly came over to help her brother.
"Oh! Sister, thank you for your hard work. It will take some time for the second brother's body and bones to fully recover. During this period, my sister will be exposed as a woman." Liu Jinpeng sighed.
"What are my brothers and sisters talking about? How can we, a family of military generals, pay attention to these things!"
Liu Manqing said nonchalantly, and then helped Liu Jinpeng go back to rest.
…
Starting from the next day, the bandits entrenched in Changsha began to mobilize.
They began to recruit Minzhuang to build forts in Qiaokou, Yiyang and other places north of Changsha to defend against possible attacks from Jiangzhou.
Liu Manqing, on the other hand, led his main force of 20,000 troops southward to the border of Tanzhou, possibly attacking the southern state capital at any time.
Finally, Liu He led a mixed army of 5,000 people to the border of Hongzhou, preparing to attack Hongzhou.
Hongzhou, Yuzhang.
The city is in ruins and everything outside is desolate.
Things didn't look much better inside the palace either.
Ruins of ruins are piled everywhere.
Only a very small part of it was cleared and could barely be inhabited.
"Your Majesty! Urgent report!"
"Tonggu has fallen!"
King Songying of Hongzhou did not die, but none of his two sons and one daughter survived.
After finally recovering from the sadness, I thought of cheering up and restoring Hongzhou's troubled times.
As a result, almost a month has passed.
In the state of anarchy, the people fled to death, and there were not many people left in Yuzhang City.
After organizing, the officials managed to retain the people who had not left.
It took more than a month.
Finally, the counties in Hongzhou were put under control again.
He had received news that most of the people had fled towards Jiangzhou, and he heard that the King of Jiangzhou had already begun to regroup.
Song Ying didn't take the initiative to contact Song Yang. After all, he was his nephew. As uncles, we can't ask our nephew for help.
So Song Ying insisted on developing Hongzhou.
As soon as there was some improvement, an urgent report came from Tonggu.
