Hearing Cheng Qun's words, Li Hongchao was overjoyed and jumped up, "General, I support you." If Cheng Qun wants to counterattack the North, he must cross the river. To cross the river, he must increase the strength of the navy.

Naturally, his thoughts could not be hidden from the other three people present. Liu Huajian frowned and said, "General, you must think twice about this matter. Crossing the river is of course a desperate attempt to survive, but in this way, you will be completely different from Yun Zhao."

If they fall out and the two-year non-aggression treaty is completely torn up, Quan Yifeng will definitely attack Xiangzhou with all his strength. By then, will we be able to keep Xiangzhou?"

"Yes, General, there is another thing to consider, that is, we must think that once we cross the river, we will face two enemies, the Mongolian and Yunzhao. Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. Let's fight across the river to occupy

If Yunzhao takes over his territory, he will definitely fall out, and the Mongolian people and we are also at odds with each other. Not many of the 200,000 Mongolian troops can return to Yanjing!" Jiang Guangyu said worriedly.

"Guangyu, you are worrying too much!" Cheng Qun said with a smile: "I have already thought about it carefully. Meng Yuan is currently fighting with Yun Zhao to the death, and no one can tolerate the other. If we go over at this time, it will muddy the water even more.

, making the situation more complicated. To put it bluntly, third

The sudden insertion of a force will make neither of them dare to act rashly. In other words, in the Northland, as long as I gain a firm foothold, whoever I fall to will win. As long as there are three pillars, as long as this situation is formed

, we are the biggest winners.”

At this point, Jiang Guangyu, Liu Huajian, and Liu Xuyong all understood that Cheng Qun had already made up his mind. Since the decision was made, there was nothing more to say. All that was left was to get things done. Anyway, everyone is now on the same line.

Grasshopper, if we want to live together we will live together, if we want to die we will die together. Even if we run away from you, we cannot escape him.

"The Navy must be strengthened. We all need to reach a consensus on this." Cheng Qun knocked on the table, "On the Guards side, you have to suffer a little for now, and it will gradually get better in the future. General Li, I will give it to you again."

Twenty warships will give you a quota of 5,000 sailors, but if something unexpected happens again, you have to understand that Cheng Qun’s sword can’t just kill the enemy.”

Li Hongchao stood up and said, "General, don't worry."

"So far, only the five of us know about this matter. Before we take action, I don't want anyone else to know. The Navy will increase patrols and dispatch more ships each time. We must try our best to

The navy of the Northern Expeditionary Army is limited to Xiangzhou and above. They cannot be allowed to

The boat can penetrate downstream to ensure our confidentiality when crossing the river. Huajian, your leading guard was transferred to Jingzhou in the name of training. This time the leading guard suffered a greater loss in Xiangzhou, so he was transferred to Jingzhou for training.

, being under attack will not be suspected by outsiders." Cheng Qun looked at the crowd and said.

"clear!"

"Confidentiality is the first priority." Jiang Guangyu nodded: "Yunzhao sent Yao Changkun on the other side. This person is very scheming. We have all seen what he is capable of. If he gets the news, it will help us cross the river.

Difficulty. And Yun Zhao’s

The staff is all-pervasive. I think the last time the Jingzhou Navy was fooled is still fresh in our minds, right? Something came out of nothing, and in the blink of an eye, Yun Zhao had a navy out of thin air. This time, we have to

Be very careful."

"That's it, Guangyu and Xuyong, you two will return to the front line tomorrow. I asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet. Let's have a few drinks today!" Cheng Qun said with a smile.

After getting down to business, the decision has been made. Some of the people present are people who will not change easily once they have made up their minds. The previous heavy mood has relaxed now, and now we have specific goals for the next stage.

There are not so many thoughts in my mind anymore.

"The prime minister is asking for trouble!" Liu Xuyong said with a smile: "The chef of the general's family is very good at cooking, and when paired with this Jingzhou native brewed Shilixiang, it is a masterpiece!"

"I knew you were thinking about these ten-mile incense, so don't worry. A few days ago, I asked Liu Hanqing to get a few jars, enough for you to drink. Bring some more with you when you go back, so that you won't make excuses to run to Jingzhou.

!" Cheng Qun patted his shoulder and said something that made everyone laugh.

"Let's go, let's go! By this time, the table should be ready!" Cheng Qun waved his hand.

"Let's go and have a few drinks together. It's been a long time since we got together!" Liu Huajian said excitedly.

Walking out of the study laughing and joking, Cheng Qun's personal guard commander Liu Hanqing hurriedly walked over from outside and saluted everyone, "General, Xun Jing, please see me!"

Cheng Qun frowned, "He really knows how to choose the right time. He came to see me at this time. What's the matter?"

"He didn't say anything, he just said he had something important to do and wanted to see the general!" Liu Hanqing shook his head.

Cheng Qun nodded, looked back at Jiang Guangyu and others and said, "You guys, go have a drink first, and I'll see him."

Liu Xuyong said dissatisfiedly: "General, he is a businessman, why are you giving him face like this? You can see him whenever you want?"

Jiang Guangyu on the side smiled and said: "Old Liu, this Xun Jing is not an ordinary businessman. In Jingzhou, he is extremely wealthy. His boss is thicker than our waists even if he plucks a hair from his head. He also often raises military expenses for us, some things we don't know."

This person is also doing the things that are convenient for us. General, let’s go first. Come here quickly, I have to toast you a few times!”

"I got it!" Cheng Qun smiled, watching a few people go away, then looked back and said to Liu Hanqing: "Bring him here!"

"Yes, General!"

Cheng Qun stood outside the room for a moment, then turned around and walked into the room, sat behind the desk, picked up a book, and started reading slowly. People like Xun Jing can't do it if they don't give face. If they give too much face, they can easily offend others.

, and he cannot lack the help of these people. A penny can hardly kill a hero. Cheng Qun smiled and shook his head. He could not follow the tactics of the White Lotus Sect and snatch it away.

"General, Xun Jing wishes to greet you!" Hearty laughter sounded at the door, and a middle-aged man in white appeared at the door of the study. Behind him, there was also a servant in a green robe and a small hat.

Cheng Qun moved his eyes away from the book and glanced at Xun Jing who was saluting him. He smiled and waved his hand, "Boss Xun, please come in. You are here to see me so late. History says you have something important to do. I don't know.

What's going on?"

Xun Jing smiled slightly, lifted up his robe and walked in. The young man in green clothes behind him also walked in. Cheng Qun couldn't help but frown. This young man didn't know the rules. How could his study be entered and exited at will?

Yes, Xun Jing can come in because he usually has a lot of money sent to help him, but he cannot be allowed to be so presumptuous.

Looking at the two of them, Cheng Qun's face darkened.

Xun Jing walked up to Cheng Qun and seemed to know what Cheng Qun was thinking, "General, it is very rude to ask for a meeting at night, but I do have something very important to tell the general." After a pause, he said

He added: "Actually, it's not me who wants to see the general, but someone else!"

Cheng Qun looked at him in astonishment. For a long time, his eyes shifted from Xun Jing's face to the young man in Tsing Yi behind him. This man kept his head down and couldn't see his face clearly. "Xun Jing, I'm giving you face because I'm looking at you.

When you are loyal to the DPRK

Court, it is of great help to our guards, but if you think that you can do whatever you want just because I give you face, then you are wrong. I am not a general who can come and go at will, and I cannot see anyone who I want!"

Seeing the anger flashing across Cheng Qun's face, Xun Jing's waist immediately hunched down. When Cheng Qun got angry, this was something that a businessman could not bear. He was the county magistrate who broke the family, and the order of the extermination of the family. Cheng Qun's status

But he is much higher than the county magistrate Yin.

"General Cheng, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to have such a bad temper now. This is not your style when you were in the capital. You were very low-key back then!" The young man in green clothes behind Xun Jing slowly raised his head,

When he raised his head from the previous humility,

, had completely disappeared, and stood in front of Cheng Qun with his head held high. Although he was still wearing a servant uniform, in front of Cheng Qun, his momentum was far greater than that of him. Xun Jing had already bent down and retreated behind him, standing

In front of the case, he looked down at Cheng Qun.

With a bang, the book in Cheng Qun's hand fell to the table. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He slowly stood up and looked at the young man in green clothes in front of him.

"Fourth Master!" he cried out loudly.

"It's rare that you still call me Fourth Master instead of traitor!" Li Xiao showed a wry smile, turned to Xun Jing and said, "Go down!"

"Yes, Fourth Master, General Cheng, let's chat. I'll take my leave!" Xun Jing bowed deeply to the two of them and exited the study.

Cheng Qun stared at Li Xiao who suddenly appeared in front of him, dumbfounded. He couldn't think of why Li Xiao would appear here, because although he had no intention of continuing to fight with Su Can, he was still an auxiliary of the imperial court.

He is a great general of the country, and Li Xiao is an imperial prisoner that the emperor must capture.

He couldn't figure out what Li Xiao wanted to do when he appeared here! At this moment, his mind was completely confused.

"General Cheng, you didn't expect me to come to see you?" Li Xiao smiled slightly.

Cheng Qun was agitated, and his consciousness finally returned to him. He quickly walked out from behind the desk and bowed deeply to Li Xiao, "Cheng Qun has met the fourth master!"

Li Xiao laughed, "General Cheng, you are the general and I am the prisoner. Your courtesy was too imprudent. You should arrest me and bring me to justice."

"Fourth Master, these words are going to be devastating!" Cheng Qun pulled a chair over, "Fourth Master, please sit down!"

Li Xiao was not humble. He sat down and looked at Cheng Qun. At this moment, Cheng Qun had countless thoughts in his mind. He recovered from the shock of seeing Li Xiao for the first time.

, Cheng Qun immediately understood what Li Xiao meant when he came to see him.

"Fourth Master, there was nothing I could do about the rebellion in Beijing." Cheng Qun stood in front of Li Xiao and sighed: "At that time, the Empress blocked the gate of the Jinwu Guard Camp. If I sent troops to quell the rebellion, the army would have to come from the Empress's side.

The car ran over me. I could only watch everything happen!"

Hearing Cheng Qun mention the incident in Beijing, a trace of pain flashed across Li Xiao's face. It was from then on that he almost lost everything.

"No need to mention what happened back then!"
