Originally, I wanted to fake Xiao Cheng's assassination, so it was logical to let Jiang Ning guard Han Yong lead his troops out to greet him.

Han Yong is Xiao Cheng's direct confidant, and now the official family is raised by Xiao Cheng, half teacher and half father. When such a thing happened, the small official family was in a hurry and asked Han Yong to bring the elite out to protect Xiao Cheng. There is meaning, no one will doubt that there are other Xiao Jiujiu here.

Unexpectedly, the assassination really came.

Seriously, just a little bit.

Thinking about it now, Xie Hong was still covered in cold sweat.

Two crossbow arrows that have been tempered with snake venom, let alone hits, even if they scratch a little oily skin, it is enough to make people half-dead.

It was also thanks to Xiao Cheng's two bodyguards, who were from the Jianghu Dao, proficient in martial arts, and very sensitive. When they heard the sound of the string, they didn't go to the murderer immediately, but they immediately stuck close to Xiao Cheng. , using his body as Xiao Cheng's shield.

The result is one death and one injury.

The injured one is still in a coma. The doctor has tried all means, but he can only temporarily save his life. The main reason is that he does not know what snake venom the other party is using, and if he does not know the formula, it is difficult to detoxify.It can only be dealt with by ordinary means, and then boil it to see if the snake venom is more powerful, or the life force of the guard is stronger.

"The trial is out!" Han Chong, the Duke of Zhiqiu Yuan who came along with Xiao Cheng, still had some blood stains on his clothes, with a faint smell of blood on his body, and a sullen look on his face, "It's Liu Yu's person. Liu Yu A total of five groups of people were dispatched, two people in each group, and they used the strategy of waiting for the rabbit, and this group happened to meet the first assistant."

"In this way, Shoufu, you can't go to other places!" Xie Hong said, "If Liu Yu can send people, it's not necessarily that Qu Zhen will not send people."

"Okay!" Xiao Cheng is naturally unwilling to risk his own life, and he is not afraid of death. If the key is to die in the hands of an assassin, it would be too suffocating, and he still has so many things to do, so It's a pity to die. "Anyway, it looks like it's almost done. Now they assassinated me, so I was furious. The excuse of recruiting soldiers to attack them is even more plausible."

"Exactly, if you want to come to the Xiaoguan's family to hear about this, you will definitely be furious." Xie Hong said with a smile: "The Xiaoguan's family has never made a sound, if you make a sound, I am afraid that those people in Jiangning will also To give face."

Xiao Cheng looked at Li Yan's terrified appearance, smiled and patted his shoulder: "What is there to be nervous about, this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future. Don't forget, I have issued a wanted order to come here with a waiting list. Inspire the heroes of the world to kill traitors like Liu Yu, since I am the first year of the first year, others can be the fifteenth, and there is nothing to complain about."

"It was all negligence by the last commander." The more Xiao Cheng became friendly, the more frightened Li Yan became.

"Let's talk about the recruitment!" Xiao Cheng said: "We all know that Jiangning wants to send troops, but the drunkard's intention is not to drink. They do send troops, and you don't dare to use them on the front line. It's not as reliable as the soldiers you recruited yourself."

"Speaking of which, there are some unexpected gains!" Li Yan was refreshed, and immediately told the story of Ren Zhong.

"The surname of the ancestors must not be abandoned, and the land of the ancestors must not be lost!" Xiao Cheng sighed: "Although Ren Zhong has not read many books, these few words are powerful and powerful, and they are probably the people in the north. the voice of your heart."

"People's hearts are available!" Xie Hong also said.

"But don't forget the sixteen states of Youyan!" Xiao Cheng said: "The people in the north are looking forward to the Northern Expedition of Master Wang of the Great Song Dynasty. If it's not hot anymore, the Northern Expedition will add too many difficulties."

The sixteen states of Youyan in Xiao Cheng's mouth were eagerly looking forward to the Northern Expedition of Song Shi at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. During the first few battles, the people of the Youyan area responded in groups.But with the failure of the Northern Expedition, Song Jun never looked north again, and people's hearts naturally became cold.

Today, the Youyan region regards the Song people as enemies.

The new generation of Han people in Youyan area have long regarded themselves as Liao people.

"So some people above the court are extremely short-sighted and will really drag on for decades. When the people in Hebei, Gyeonggi, and Jingdong are really cold towards the Song Dynasty, can we still succeed in the Northern Expedition? Is there any hope?" Xie Hong said angrily, "I can't wait for the time!"

Xiao Cheng was assassinated, Jiang Ning was shaken, the officials were furious, and the conscription began to accelerate immediately. From the initial lukewarmness to the current forced order, if there is a slight delay, he will be punished immediately.

There are a lot of folk rumors, and it is madly spread that after the conscripted army and the army are recruited, they will immediately be pushed to the forefront and become the replacement of the first auxiliary confidant team.Among these rumors, the Liao people were almost said to be the gods and demons with green faces and fangs, three heads and six arms.

No wonder people are stupid.

When this season comes, the news is blocked, and the conditions for ordinary people to know the news are really limited.

Second, the Liao people even took down Tokyo, and even the emperor of the Song Dynasty was taken captive. For the people of Jiangnan, the impact was too great.

Third, of course, it was because of the dissemination of interested people, who wanted to create a little trouble, so that Xiao Cheng's northern expedition could not go on.

For these people, why do they have to raise an army after a peaceful and stable day?
In their view, there is a natural danger in the Yangtze River, and now they still hold the strategic location of the Huaihe River Basin, which can completely maintain the division of the North and the South, and there is no need to confront the mighty Liao Kingdom.

Liu Yu, Qu Zhen and others are indeed not intimidating, but the problem is that they are just two dogs of the Liao people. If you beat the dog, will the dog owner not come out to support the scene?

In the past, the one-million-strong army of the Song Dynasty was beaten by the Liao people to find their teeth.

This is the fundamental confrontation between the northerners and the southerners in terms of major policies.

Now in the courtroom, Xiao Cheng, Cen Zhong, Zhang Zhen, Hu Yi, and Han Duan are all from the north, and Lv Wenhuan can barely count them.

To be precise, in the imperial court, the north has the upper hand, but in the local area and among the people, it is the southern forces that have the absolute advantage.

If I can’t win the battle at the top, then I will stumble you and prevent your policies from falling to the ground. In this way, if you want to expedition to the north, isn’t it just empty talk?
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Cheng has to be ruthless.

At first, he needed a series of beautiful victories to convince everyone in the south to follow me, Xiao Cheng.Second, he also needs to severely suppress this evil spirit.

The common people could not move around casually, but the fleeing banned army, the borrowed box army, the local tycoons and officials who had colluded with the mountain bandits and water bandits were all within the scope of the attack this time.

The south has been easy for too long, and they have basically never seen what a real soldier is.

When the sharp knife hangs on their heads, I am afraid that most people will shiver.

Only a few knew that the knife did not fall.

But for Xiao Cheng, as long as the majority of people obeyed, it would be fine.

He has never thought about what to say to the people in the south about the righteousness of the family and the country, or the feelings of comrades.

Useless shit.

The concept of home and country has not yet been formed at this time.

Now even the Huayi debate has no result!
Some people say that when the Diyi entered China, they belonged to China, and now there are people who have further asserted that as long as the Diyi implements the laws of China, they are considered to be Chinese.

These things that theoretically discuss the legitimacy of the Liao people occupying the Central Plains and implementing their rule are most likely created by their third sister.

Because I once told her that at a certain time, many Han Chinese with college education served another Diyi regime, and their theoretical basis was this set.

Not to mention, these things sound plausible and extremely deceptive.

So what Xiao Cheng wants to do now is to raise his knife and say to the people under his command, follow me!Go or not?Do not go and chop you!
This is intimidation!

The second one, of course, is to win over!
Desperately develop the economy and make the cake bigger, so that the squires, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and even officials and officials can earn money, and life is getting better day by day.Then Xiao Cheng shouted with the clinking copper coins: Follow me, follow me, if you have money, don't follow me, I'll kill you!

The Jiangning New Song Dynasty has only been established for a year now, and Xiao Cheng has not yet settled the internal disputes in the court, and this first step has only just begun!
If you want to go up and down, work hard in one place, think in one place, concentrate on doing big things, it's a long way!
So this time, Xiao Cheng is not afraid of chaos in Jiangnan.

He was thinking about the chaos here!

In the past, the Jiangnan area was too calm and too monolithic.You want to make a move, but you just stretch out a little finger to poke it, and immediately it's like poking a hornet's nest.

It's really up and down!

This time, he forced the elders in the court to express their support for the military expedition, which made them polarized, and it was much easier to deal with the cats and dogs below.

If you take down these kittens and puppies justifiably, and those people above can't help them, there will be more and more people who are estranged from them.

In this way, I can take advantage of the gap and let this iron plate completely turn into a fertile soil that can grow a bumper crop.

"The first assistant is really a good plan!" Xie Hong said with a smile: "Let those people mistakenly think that they can gain some military power through this, and they will be hooked by this piece of fat. It's just that Lu Shangshu is alert, so he took this opportunity. If you shoot, you will hit it with one hit!"

"This is what I discussed with Cen Qianli!" Xiao Cheng said: "Lu Wenhuan is different from those people. In the past, I suppressed Lu Wenhuan in order to completely rectify the Xiangyang Xingyuan side first. Lu Shangshu's prestige there is too much. It’s not good for Wang Zhu and the others to manage the army. Now that Wang Zhu and the others have basically controlled the form, Lu Shangshu wants to build another army, and that’s what I want!”

"Lu Shangshu is afraid that he has some prejudice against you!" Xie Hong said.

"It doesn't matter, we are still in the same direction." Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "So this time, [-]% of Lu Shangshu's bandit army will definitely kill the bandits in the water bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, while suppressing bandits. How can Lu Shangshu let go of such a good thing by expanding his prestige and using it to increase his strength!”

"In this way, there will be a strong team in the heart of the heart." Gao Yingxiang said.

"We want the Northern Expedition, the more capable the army, the better." Xiao Cheng said: "Lu Shang Shuzhi is not in the court, what he wants is to lead the army to recruit the battlefield and restore the rivers and mountains. If you can recover Youyan, then He is even more willing to die. So one day, I will definitely fulfill his wish and let him come out again and lead the army to attack."

"Now detaining him in the court is to use his prestige to help us clean up these appeasement factions!" Xie Hong said with a smile.

"Naturally!" Xiao Cheng said without hesitation.

"I'm afraid that now they are all looking forward to us having a big defeat on the front line, so that they can have the excuse to question us!" Gao Yingxiang said.

"They don't care if you ask or not, they care about your seat!" Xie Hong hit the nail on the head: "I don't even think about it, can they sit in this seat?"

"That would have to make me suffer a defeat!" Gao Yingxiang said proudly.

"I really can't be careless this time!" Xiao Cheng said: "Qu Zhen is a simple military general, and it's easy to look at the problem, but Liu Yu has to be careful, he must be able to see some little Jiujiu from our internal disputes. This time, once we launch in the other direction, he will definitely seize the opportunity and launch a fierce attack along Xuzhou to see if he can take the opportunity to hug something."

"Then he's going to be disappointed!" Gao Yingxiang smiled and said, "I've been waiting for him for a long time, but now Wei Wu has conquered Xiayi, and Han Yong and the others will make another contribution. My subordinates will only be jealous when the time comes. If you can't do it, you can't help but blame me, the general manager, for not being able to give them a chance to make achievements. Everyone screams, if Liu Yu comes, let him know why the flowers are so popular!"

Everyone burst into laughter after speaking.

Most of Gao Yingxiang's subordinates were soldiers recruited from Yunnan Road.

On the whole, except for some larger towns, Yunnan Road is still relatively poor as a whole. Serving as soldiers, fighting wars, getting rewards, and capturing loot are the biggest sources of income for these soldiers.Every once in a while, a special team will collect the letters of these soldiers, capture them and send them back to their hometown in Yunnan, and then bring back some things and letters from their hometown.Although it is expensive, through such means, these soldiers can feel at ease fighting on the front line.

"Be careful that the Liao people will get a kick!" Xiao Cheng said: "Zhennan Wang Yeluzhen is not a good stubble, this is a guy with both civil and military skills. It's us. If Liu Yu's troops are mixed with the Liao army, then this battle will actually have to be fought."

"I haven't thought about the section mentioned by the first assistant." Gao Yingxiang was suddenly surprised, and cupped his hands: "Thank you first assistant for reminding me!"

"I'm going back to Jiangning soon, and then I'll watch your performances!" Xiao Cheng said, "The better you do here, the better I will be in Jiangning!"
