After the Battle of Kunzhou, Lin Jun began to plan the next step.
In his opinion, the loss of Kunzhou is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it will allow Ning Xing to completely abandon his illusions and fully respond to the challenges of northern Xinjiang.
The only trouble is that when Ning Xing focuses on the south, he may become a victim of the balance between Lin Ya and the emperor.
He thought of many ways and finally targeted Longhua Prefecture.
Use various means to capture Longhua Prefecture, so that Longhua Prefecture and Taizhou are connected in a line, facing the northern Xinjiang.
If Ning Xing wants to do what he wants to do to Northern Xinjiang, he, the general who controls the front line, will have more say.
As the right to speak increases, resources will increase.
By expanding the size of the army and training it, in just a few years, he would be sure to have an equal dialogue with Ning Xing.
But what I didn't expect was that Lin Ya moved too fast.
"If Longhua Prefecture is captured, Yang Xuan will take action without hesitation. At that time, the two armies will fight in Longhua Prefecture while others watch the show. Believe me, the Prime Minister will watch and teach me a lesson. And the emperor will be overjoyed.
Just wait to see my quarrel with my husband."
Lin Jun tapped Long Huazhou's position with his fingers, "In just two years, I will be able to grow so big that Ning Xing will not dare to underestimate me, but time does not wait for me! The original plan will not work out."
"Take Chenzhou!"
Shen Changhe looked at the map, "The three states are connected together. If Ning Xing launches an attack, all he needs to do is open the door. Once the Northern Xinjiang army swarms in, Ning Xing will be defeated. But your reputation will be ruined."
Already."
"When I was at home, I always felt that there was some distance between my parents and my relatives. The kindness was too shallow and too fake. Later I found out that I was not my parents' biological child. So, who am I?"
Lin Jun laughed and ridiculed, "It is one of the bloodlines that my husband is planning to leave behind, but God knows how many children my husband has prepared."
For a while, Lin Ya's reputation for being lustful spread throughout Liao, and the women around her kept changing.
"When I first learned that I was his son, I had a heart of admiration, thinking that a father is kind and a son is filial. So, I worked hard in those years to win the reputation of a famous Liao general and add glory to him.
I extravagantly hoped that he would look up to me and give me some fatherly love. But look, he brought me to Tanzhou...even Chenzhou!"
Tanzhou is too remote, and Chenzhou in front of it has a developed economy and a powerful army. The two sides are separated by Yanbei City and the grassland. Under the two-level buffer, it is difficult for Tanzhou governor to make achievements.
"This is not dormant, this is to suppress me." Lin Jun put the tea cup on the table, "He is jealous of me, I know it. In my heart, I think of a loving father and a filial son, but he thinks of me, an illegitimate son, after I become famous.
will get out of control.
As long as he gives some tenderness, why does this happen?
He treats me like a tool. He uses it when he wants to use it, and throws it away when he doesn’t want to use it. He calls me a tool, but in fact, he is a tiger!"
Huzi is the toilet of another world. In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Mazi because it wanted to avoid the name taboo of a certain royal family. However, in the Liao Dynasty, it was not like the Tang Dynasty and was still called Huzi.
Just piss on your ancestors!
Lin Jun said: "He doesn't care about the relationship between father and son, so why do I care about reputation? Even if the outside world says that I am a traitor, I am still his nephew, right?"
It's sad that the relationship between father and son is like this.
"I still hope that we can live in harmony. Only in this way will you be able to take over the troops and manpower provided by your father-in-law." Shen Changhe felt that Lin Jun was good at everything. When fighting, he was not surprised even if the mountains collapsed in front of him.
But I can't see it when it comes to family relationships.
No, I looked too far.
"That's a quagmire!" Lin Jun said calmly: "He is old. If he has the intention, he should gradually let me take over his power now. But look what he is doing? He is suspicious of me and preventing me from expanding. .”
"Perhaps the messenger who came this time brought good news?"
"I know him, it's impossible!"
Lin Jun waved his hand and ended the topic, "Chenzhou has not encountered an enemy for many years. The governor Jin Heng is the emperor's man and is quite wary of me. This time, he will bear the brunt of Chenzhou's plan."
Shen Changhe thought carefully, "It was the governor of Taizhou who forced us to stay, and this gave us an excuse to stay. But it was impossible for Jin Heng. Such... attack
Hitting is absolutely not allowed.”
Attacking him would be regarded as rebellion, and even Lin Ya couldn't save this illegitimate son.
"Why should I attack?" Lin Jun crossed his arms and said, "Kill Jin Heng."
"Assassination!"
"right!"
"Then, who will beg us to move in? This person will definitely become the person that the Eagle Guard must kill!"
"Don't drive away from Chenzhou, Wang Bo!"
"This person..."
"Before I came to Tanzhou, my husband was worried that I would complain and refused to come, so he said there was no need to worry about Chenzhou's hostility."
"Is there an insider?"
"I don't have any internal evidence, but I have evidence of Chenzhou's Wang Bo's corruption!"
Shen Changhe slapped his thigh, "Well, let's force Wang Bo to submit first!"
"You should do this yourself."
"If Wang Bo refuses..."
"Throw the evidence to Jin Heng." Lin Jun said calmly.
"After getting the evidence, Jin Heng was about to sit on his hands. On the one hand, Wang Bo was loyal, but on the other hand, he was a corrupt official. He said that Wang Bo was unlucky, but he didn't say it, but he was worried that we would expose the matter. ...Wonderful!”
Shen Changhe sincerely admired his boss and felt that if he took charge of the court, he would be able to revive the power of Daliao.
"The so-called art of war is the calculation of the human heart. In fact, if you look at the various situations in life and the various disputes, which one is not the calculation of the human heart?"
Lin Jun's eyes fell on Chenzhou on the map, "In terms of people's calculations, Jin Heng is far behind!"
Shen Changhe said: "This matter must be carried out quietly, and Yang Xuan of Northern Xinjiang must not be alerted, otherwise he will send troops to contain it, and we will be in trouble."
Lin Jun said: "When you go this time, Yang Xuan will definitely guess the real purpose of my request for peace. At this moment, the governor of Longhua Prefecture sent envoys one after another, begging me to lead the army to settle in.
This was because he was afraid. He was worried that Yang Xuan's next target would be him. He would rather be hated by Ning Xing than save his life.
This matter could not be hidden from Jin Yiwei's informant. Yang Xuan would probably guess that I wanted to capture Longhua Province... But who would have thought that I was eyeing Chen Province. By the time I captured Chen Province, the overall situation would be settled and he could be left to his own devices. No matter how much you struggle, I will remain firm and unmoving."
Shen Changhe stood up and said, "In this case, I will go to Chenzhou immediately."
He walked to the door and said, "By the way, when I went to Zhoushe earlier, the doorman mentioned the envoy to the king."
Lin Jun nodded, "Just replace it."
As soon as Shen Changhe left, the convoy from Beijiang arrived.
"Where's the food?"
The leader is Han Ji.
Shen Changhe was not here, and the person who received him was a businessman.
"Yes, both."
The merchants promised, but secretly complained in their hearts...According to their estimation, the arrival from northern Xinjiang should take a while. In this way, they can calmly allocate food.
I didn't expect that Northern Xinjiang would be so fast.
Calculated based on the distance traveled, that is to say, as soon as Shen Changhe left, they followed closely.
Isn't this person's appearance too ugly?
After asking Lin Jun for instructions, Lin Jun frowned and asked: "I remember there is enough food in the warehouse, right?"
"Enough is enough, but if we give them 50,000 dan, if Ningxing doesn't have enough food..."
The businessman looked at Lin Jun hesitantly.
That will starve people to death!
"Give it to him!"
Lin Jun nodded without hesitation.
The businessman went back and said cheerfully: "Just take it!"
Very refreshing!
"Where is Mr. Shen?" Han Ji asked.
The businessman said casually: "Mr. Shen is out on official business."
This is wrong!
Han Ji went back and mentioned the matter to the accompanying Jin Yiwei, "Shen Changhe just went to Taoxian County, where he was very busy, and then he went on a long journey. Employers are not used to death. Unless there is a big event."
"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I'll go ask."
The news from Jin Yiwei came back very quickly, "It was said that Shen Changhe returned that day and then set off."
"Where have you been?" Han Ji smiled, feeling that he had caught a clue.
"I didn't dare to follow you later." The people from Jin Yiwei were a little apologetic, "We are keeping a tight watch here, brothers are worried about being discovered."
Han Jinengli
Jie Jinyiwei's secret agent was cautious, but it was a bit regretful.
If he could know where Shen Changhe was going... He had a hunch that where Shen Changhe went must be where Lin Jun planned this time.
The convoy slowly drove out of the city gate, and Han Ji on horseback looked into the distance.
"I always feel that the storm is about to move!"
…
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
When Zheng Wuniang came out with the second young master who had just eaten, A Liang shouted at his brother and stood on tiptoe to see what he looked like.
"Erlangjun can't speak this year, but he can call me brother next year." Zheng Wuniang said softly, squatting down and putting her hands on the side of Erlang's face, ready to block the hairy kid's hands and feet at any time.
This woman was always so gentle towards Yang Xuan's children, especially when she looked at the children, she was really unfocused, as if her whole body was living for the children.
"Yiniang, were you like this before?"
Yang Xuan looked at this scene and suddenly thought of himself back then.
"No!" Yi Niang said with a smile: "I took you with me for a while. The pseudo-emperor and his son were in pursuit and had found Yang Lue's tail. Yang Lu had no choice but to take the risk and escape with you. At that time I hate that my cultivation level is not high, otherwise I would be able to go south with you."
"Same." Yang Xuan patted the back of her hand gently, "Zheng Wuniang is just crazy. I seem to have heard someone say that she will not end well in the future?"
Yi Niang smiled and said: "That person probably drank too much!"
"Um!"
Yang Xuan changed the topic, "Lin Jun has some plans this time. Although I don't know what they are, I think we will inevitably have to use weapons again this year."
Yi Niang said: "Although I don't know anything about civil and military matters, I remember that if too many troops are used, more people will be consumed. It will also be difficult to provide food and grass."
"For the people's power, I use prisoners more often."
Thinking of Yang Xuan's reputation as a road-builder, Yi Niang couldn't help but smile, "What about the food?"
"Lin Jun gave it!"
"Is he plotting against you?"
"Yes, but I am also plotting against him."
"Hey! This use of soldiers is just like fighting in the palace."
"No, if you have learned the art of war, based on your experience in the palace, Jiang Cunzhong and the others will have to be willing to be defeated!"
Yi Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "Just coax me!"
“The real deal.”
Yang Xuan stood up and said, "I'll go to the front."
In front is the Jiedushi Mansion.
"good!"
Yi Niang watched him go out with a smile, turned around and ordered: "Bring Lu'e."
The two maids responded, and later came to Yi Niang with a maid between them.
"I've met Yi Niang!" Lu'e saluted and rolled her eyes a few times.
"I don't like cunning people the most, but I know that everything should not be based on my own preferences. If you don't make any mistakes, I will naturally not interfere."
Yi Niang was taciturn in the backyard, and she never punished anyone. Most of these things were done by the housekeeper and others. Some people said that she was doing this to avoid conflicts with the stewards around the wife.
So when Lu'e came, although she was a little uneasy, she was not worried.
Yi Niang pointed at Lu'e, "Take it down and take heavy responsibility!"
Lu'e was stunned, and so were the two servant girls.
"I'm the one in charge of the aunt!"
The two maids woke up from a dream and quickly grabbed the screaming Lu'e. Then one of them gagged and the other pinned her hands.
"Avoid these two young men!"
Yi Niang glanced at A Liang who looked over after hearing the sound, and smiled tenderly.
The two maids skillfully lifted up Lu'e, looking as if Lu'e was sick, and then went to the front yard.
After the beating, Lu'e was brought back.
"You can't keep this person in your backyard!"
Yi Niang turned around and entered her room.
Aunt Guan was under the eaves, watching from Yi Niang's spot.
A steward came over and whispered: "Yiniang suddenly had Lu'e beaten and sent her to the front yard to do some work."
"Why!" Auntie Guan asked.
The steward shook his head, "I didn't say."
Guan Auntie
Silently, the steward said: "Lu'e is yours after all. Even if she makes a mistake, she has to be dealt with by you, right? Besides, you have to have an excuse after all! Otherwise, how can you convince the public?"
Auntie Guan said: "I can't say anything about this matter. You should find an opportunity to talk to me. Don't say more, just mention it."
"good!"
Later, the female steward found something to report to Zhou Ning.
Zhou Ning is talking to Yi Niang.
"... Don't give too heavy a gift in return to the wives of officials. If it's too heavy, they will think about it." Zhou Ning looked up and saw the female steward and asked, "What's the matter?"
The female steward smiled and said, "Madam, there is one less maid cleaning the backyard."
"Just make up for it."
This kind of thing is just for reporting, Zhou Ning will not care about it.
Grasp the big ones and let go the small ones, this is Zhou Ning’s management style.
"Yes." The female steward responded and said, "That Lu'e does her job well, but she was driven to the front yard for some reason!"
Zhou Ning's eyes moved upward, "Zitai!"
Yang Xuan came in, "Just now I saw a maid crying in the front yard."
Yi Niang said calmly! "Then Lu'e told people that Zheng Wuniang will not end well in the future."
"oh!"
Yang Xuan sat down, reached for the teapot, and poured tea for Yi Niang.
Then he complained: "You know this and just tell Aning about it, why bother to take action yourself."
The female steward's heart was beating wildly, "Oh no!"
Yi Niang said with a smile: "I'm not doing anything in the backyard. Just looking at the two young men, I can't help but think of those days. No, it's just impulsive."
The female steward completely understood.
What Yi Niang means: I have no interest in taking care of other things, but these two young men are my life. Whoever dares to play tricks on them will be dealt with by me!
Yang Xuan said calmly: "I have never been too lazy to care about the affairs in the backyard, but today I became interested. Who is Lu'e's backer in the backyard?"
It was really rare for Yang Xuan to care about the backyard affairs.
That Lu'e was the stewardess, so the stewardess hurriedly came to complain to the lady in charge.
She hesitated for a moment, Yang Xuan frowned, and hummed softly, which was like thunder in the ears of the female steward, "It's a slave!"
“Let’s go to the front yard!”
For a servant girl, the backyard is a golden nest and the front yard is a thatched house.
The female steward didn't expect that this matter would involve her. Just when she was about to complain, she heard the stewardess behind her shout: "Shut up and stop quarreling with the two gentlemen."
The two maids blocked the stewardess' mouth and dragged her out.
Guan Auntie saluted. "I will deal with her immediately."
She glanced at Yi Niang, and fear suddenly surged in her heart.
This person doesn't take care of things very much, but today he killed two of her people with one move.
Moreover, the clouds were light and the wind was gentle, and there was no trace of fireworks. She couldn't even find a flaw.
Zhou Ning stood up and went out, giving Mrs. Guan a warning look.
Auntie Guan resigned, and after going out, she slowly turned around.
Yi Niang stretched out her hand, gently stroking Yang Xuan's cheek with gentle eyebrows.
"There's so much to do! Just rest when you're tired."
