The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Chapter 130 Is Your Talk Serious?
Xu Zhiqing couldn't care about the situation in Xiangyang City right now.

Then Kublai Khan is going to come to fight Guanzhong, he has to solve this situation.

He is not Guo Jing, he will not stay here and wait for that Kublai Khan to come to his door.

He was going to talk to Kublai Khan.

If the other party is willing to withdraw troops, that would be great.

If he doesn't withdraw his troops, he doesn't mind letting Kublai Khan reunite with Jinlun Fawang and the others.

Xu Zhiqing asked the reconnaissance battalion to investigate Kublai Khan's marching route.

seven days later.

A Kublai Khan's marching route map appeared in Xu Zhiqing's hands.

"Shangzhou!"

Xu Zhiqing put down the marching route map, he sighed, and had to go again.

But for the sake of the stability of Guanzhong in the future, he had to go there.

Before leaving, Xu Zhiqing held a meeting with the officials in Jingzhao City in the main hall, with the purpose of reassuring the hearts of these people.

"I believe that you should be very happy during the period of serving the people! For this reason, I assure you that if Kublai Khan comes, he will definitely be the same as the previous Yulong. Cause any damage to Jingzhaocheng!"

His words shocked Yelu Chucai and some officials.

Yelu Chucai did not forget that step.

Yulong replied that he just sent a vanguard army, and his head was cut off while he was still sitting in the base camp.

The same was true for the rest of the officials, who also saw Yulong's missing head.

Originally, they had hoped that Yulong would be able to come back and take back Jingzhao City.

Unexpectedly, when Yulong failed to answer, he lost his head first.

The Mongolian army around them didn't make any movement.

After suffering for a period of time, they finally heard the news that the Mongolian emperor was going to mobilize troops.

In particular, the Mongol emperor seemed to be taking back Guanzhong as well.

Kublai Khan was dispatched.

They were secretly delighted, but they heard the assurance from Taoist Xu.

They immediately thought of the fate of Yulong's failure.

Wouldn't Kublai Khan also follow in the footsteps of the Jade Dragon?
Xu Zhiqing noticed that after he finished speaking, the officials below suddenly fell silent.

He smiled with satisfaction.

"It's fine if you don't have any opinions. It seems that everyone is very relieved about our military power in Guanzhong!"

There is not only one army in Guanzhong, the Daowu Army.

The Daowu Army is a special army, and after Xu Zhiqing occupied the Guanzhong area, he began to expand his army.

They recruited [-] ordinary soldiers in the form of the Dao Wu Army.

These ordinary soldiers are mostly used to maintain law and order in the Guanzhong area.

Unless Mongolia uses troops in the Guanzhong area, these soldiers will have the opportunity to help defend the city.

Xu Zhiqing has a high prestige in Guanzhong, and the people below support him. They can tell what is good and what is bad.

They don't understand any major principles, they only know that this Daoist Xu gave them the land, he must be a good person.

The Mongols who want to come and rob their fields must be bad people.

Xu Zhiqing didn't even need to greet them. When those people heard that the Mongolian army was coming to rob them of their land, their first thing to do was to sign up to join the army and fight off the enemy.

They don't care what is in the customs, they only know that if others want to take away their property, they should be beaten to death first!

Xu Zhiqing never thought of binding the entire Guanzhong area. What he guarded was Guanzhong, but more often than not, he let the common people protect themselves.

He just stood on a high ground and led these people to become better!

If those people are not worth it, why should he do it?

In the main hall, all the officials were silent.

Under normal circumstances, officials have the privilege of being officials, and use the power in their hands to seek their own personal gain, overtly or covertly.

Since Taoist Xu took charge of their lives, they no longer had the preferential treatment they had before.

What I said before is to be an official and serve the people is just a slogan.

Now it is really an official for the people.

Once they do something that violates the Guanzhong Code, what awaits them is the punishment.

Under normal circumstances, it is labor reform. If the violation of the law is serious, it is the direct death penalty.

There were officials who fled before, but where can they go after they escape?
Running outside may not be as good as the current situation.

As long as they do things safely and steadily now, their lives will not be in danger.

In the past, they were worried that this Taoist priest would kill them indiscriminately, but now they are not worried anymore.

Because they discovered that the Taoist priest really did what he said.

As long as they do things honestly and don't do other messy things, no one can touch them.

Some officials like this, some officials don't.

After Xu Zhiqing finished speaking, he glanced at the officials below.

He doesn't quite know what these officials think, he knows that there must be good officials and bad officials among them.

He doesn't care if he is good or bad, as long as he has the ability to do practical things.

In addition, no matter how good you are, don't try to take advantage of the law's loopholes.

If your own moral level is not high, then obey the law honestly.

Xu Zhiqing seldom held such meetings, most of the time he stayed with Yelu Chucai and Lu Zhijia to deal with matters.

Each department operates on its own.

In addition, there is the establishment of corresponding supervisory departments.

For example, the Office of Integrity and Justice.

These are for catching corrupt officials.

As for whether there are corrupt officials in the Integrity and Justice Department, there will naturally be other people who choose to supervise.

The correct approach is to supervise each other, not a single family.

Xu Zhiqing doesn't know much, but he knows what balance is.

After the meeting, Xu Zhiqing asked those officials to leave.

The current Guanzhong does not claim to be independent.

Those officials in Guanzhong, their positions are still holding the positions of Mongolia.

Xu Zhiqing didn't even change the names of those positions.

Unless he establishes a country one day, it's better to stay stable for the time being.

What he did was to make others murmur.

Independence without creating a country.

So what exactly do you want to do?
But because Mongolia is on the side, no one would ask these questions.

Wouldn't it be a joke to build a country without sustaining it?

Xu Zhiqing told those officials to leave, and he saw Yelu Chucai.

"Xiangguo, I will go out later and talk to Kublai Khan!"

What he said made Yelu Chucai raise his eyebrows, let's talk about it, is it serious?

Every time this Taoist priest went out, someone died.

Simply kill God.

How did such a person enter the Taoism?
It should be crooked!
"Xu Daoist, that Kublai Khan is a prince..."

Before Yelu Chucai finished speaking, he thought that the last Yulong answer was not a low status.

"I also ask Daoist Xu to think more about it!"

"I know what you mean. Do you think I want to kill people? Didn't they force me?"

"We will stay here safely and securely, and then we will find a way to lead all the people to the path of common prosperity. What will happen?"

"Those people come here every now and then to find trouble and die, and I'm also helpless, do you know that?"

"It doesn't matter if I run outside every day, but I still have to kill them with a sword. I'm also very tired!"

Xu Zhiqing complained that he really didn't like killing people.

Yelu Chucai was relatively speechless as he listened to Daoist Xu's rambling.

Tired of killing people?

Forced, helpless?

Yelu Chucai sighed, Daoist Xu did what he said when he did certain things, but in this regard, he felt that he was forced by others.

But when he thought about it, it seemed that he was really despicable.

"Xu Daochang said yes!"

Yelu Chucai could only say so.

"Xiangguo, you should also pay more attention to the affairs of Guanzhong. I believe you can see what is going on in Guanzhong now. Everything is moving in a good direction!"

Improve agriculture, develop commerce, expand the military... After completing a series of things, the entire Guanzhong is in a state of positive development.

Every place will basically develop very well if it does not experience any natural or man-made disasters.

Humans are a very complicated existence.

Yelu Chucai nodded and hummed.

Apart from some weird and unacceptable ideas, Daoist Xu has a good starting point.

It's all for the people.

Among all the people he has met, there is no one who can do it purely for the common people like this Taoist Xu.

Seems like it really doesn't like entitlements that much.

Xu Zhiqing and Yelu Chucai didn't talk too much, and he would bring up some of his ideas to Yelu Chucai.

Then let it formulate corresponding laws according to the situation in Guanzhong.

Everything in Guanzhong is done according to the law.

Govern the country according to law and guarantee human rights.

He doesn't just talk about it, but actually does it.

He believes that no one is born with anything other than instinct.

Some things can be mastered after learning.

He doesn't know the details of governing the country, but some people understand, so he can just put forward the general direction.

The nine-year compulsory education in that world gave him a more general view of the world.

Know the direction of the world, change, development and so on.

All he did was give it a push, and then another push.

There is no shortage of conspirators in any world. What he does is that those people play conspiracies, let them play conspiracies, but first let the people at the bottom no longer suffer from hunger.

Xu Zhiqing was about to leave when a personal guard came over suddenly.

"Pavilion Master, an envoy from the Song Dynasty is here!"

"Emissary Song?"

Xu Zhiqing frowned when he heard this, he glanced at Yelu Chucai next to him, and saw that Yelu Chucai had the same expression.

He smiled.

He waved his hand and said to the guard: "Let him in!"

The personal guard turned and left, and soon brought Song envoy.

Looking at Xu Zhiqing, he was about 40 years old, with a thin body, a mustache hanging on his face, and a very upright face.

Judging from the performance, in short, it was like seeing a good official.

When Xu Zhiqing was looking at this person, the person came in and gave him a slight salute.

"Lu Tian met Pavilion Master Xu!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard this person's address, he frowned and smiled.

He originally wanted to argue with this person, but after thinking about it, he asked directly: "Brother, I don't know what you mean by coming to my Guanzhong?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he stared at Lu Tian, ​​but he didn't notice any change in Lu Tian's face.

"Lu Mou came here to represent me, Da Song, and to make friends with the pavilion master!"

Xu Zhiqing became interested.

"Oh, how can we make friends?"

"I, Song Dynasty, are willing to support the pavilion master to become the king! Establish a country!"

Hearing the words, Xu Zhiqing said softly: "Whether I will establish a country, be called a king or not has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, right?"

Lu Tian heard the words and said calmly: "After the pavilion master establishes the country and becomes the king, my Song Dynasty is willing to provide soldiers, horses, food and grass to jointly resist the invading Mongolian soldiers!"

Xu Zhiqing became interested when he heard this.

He wants food.

But he still saw the essence.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I am called king or not? You want me to help you defend the Southern Song Dynasty against the Mongolian soldiers?"

Lu Tian still didn't panic when he heard the words.

"Presumably the pavilion master has also got the Mongolian army on its way to Guanzhong. If the pavilion master has the support of my Song Dynasty, it must be easier to resist the Mongolian army!"

"The other thing is, the pavilion master will resist the Mongolian army no matter whether I have the support of the Southern Song Dynasty or not!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded.

"You are telling the truth!"

"So you Southern Song Dynasty want to provide supplies, and then let us resist the Mongols here, right?"

Lu Tian cupped his hands: "The pavilion master is really powerful, you can see through it at a glance!"

"My Great Song came here to support the Pavilion Master on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as the Pavilion Master is willing, we will provide soldiers and horses as well as food and grass!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded slightly: "I don't know how you provide the Fa?"

His words made Yelu Chucai, who was below, hesitate to speak.

When Lu Tian heard Xu Zhiqing's words, there was joy in his eyes.

"Let's provide a batch of food and grass first, and then let the soldiers come over to help Pavilion Master Xu defend the city!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqing smiled lightly and said, "This is pretty good! I just don't know how many soldiers you can provide? In addition, will I provide food and grass for those soldiers, or you Da Song?"

He seemed to agree with what he said.

Yelu Chucai couldn't sit still anymore.

"Master, no!"

"You did this to give up the city to Song Bing!"

"The people of Song Dynasty came here with uneasy intentions. They sent troops here. Who will have the final say in the city?"

Lu Tian in the hall wanted to speak, but Xu Zhiqing waved his hand first.

"Song Guo and I are facing the same enemy together, they shouldn't do this!"

He said to Lu Tian and asked, "Really?"

Lu Tian nodded hastily: "What the pavilion master said is that we will help each other, how could my Great Song Dynasty do such a treacherous thing!"

Xu Zhiqing also hummed, and asked Yelu Chucai to sit back, while he continued to ask Lu Tian.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses Da Song intends to provide? How much food and grass?"

After Lu Tian listened to Xu Zhiqing's question, he raised three fingers.

"My Great Song is going to provide [-] soldiers and horses to the pavilion master to help the pavilion master guard the pass, and then provide food and grass for [-] soldiers and horses!"

Xu Zhiqing had a happy expression on his face when he heard this.

"[-] grain and grass, it's enough for me to stick to Guanzhong for a while!"

"But I hope that the food and grass for the [-] soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty will be provided by you yourself!"

Lu Tian heard the words and said proudly: "It's natural, I, Da Song, can still get this out!"

"that's great!"

Xu Zhiqing sighed: "I'm not as rich in Guanzhong as Da Song. To be honest, if Brother Lu doesn't come, I'll just think about surrendering to the Mongolian army!"

"At the beginning, when my brain was hot, I occupied this pass, and now I feel troublesome everywhere after I occupy it!"

"Then why doesn't the pavilion master ask for help like me, Song? You and I are both Song people!"

"Hey, brother Lu, why don't I want to ask for help, but I don't know anyone in your Song army, so that's all I can do!"

Xu Zhiqing said enthusiastically: "Fortunately, Brother Lu, you are here!"

"Brother Lu, I promise you that I am willing to form an alliance with you Da Song!"

After he finished speaking, he asked Yelu Chucai to write a document, and then both parties signed it.

After Xu Zhiqing finished signing, he asked with a smile, "I don't know when the [-] troops and [-] supplies will arrive?"

"Pavilion master, don't worry, after I go back, I will report this matter to the emperor, and my Song soldiers will come over then!"

"That's good!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded: "The situation is urgent now, so I won't keep Brother Lu, Xiangguo, help send Brother Lu!"

Yelu Chucai stood up.

"Please!"

Soon he sends people away.

When Yelu Chucai came back, he didn't try to persuade Xu Zhiqing as before, but he just realized that there was something wrong with this leader.

Too much enthusiasm for Lu Tian.

"Pavilion Master, you don't know what Da Song is thinking!"

"What do you say?"

Xu Zhiqing glanced at Yelu Chucai.

"You are the only one who is smart in the whole world, and everyone understands their dirty thoughts!"

"However, I really like their [-] troops!"

When Yelu Chucai heard Xu Zhiqing's words, his eyes moved slightly.

"What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do, of course I will accept them all!"

"How to collect the [-] troops?"

"How else can I collect it, just compile it in a serious way!"

"When they come, they will definitely lead the army alone, and it is impossible for us to intervene!"

"What are you afraid of! Just force it in!"

Xu Zhiqing said hesitantly: "I like this kind of disobedient ones!"

Yelu Chucai hummed, he didn't know what Taoist Xu did.

He felt that Daoist Xu should be able to do it.

"What are you going to do with this [-] army?"

"Farming, paving, building, isn't it good to use everywhere?"

Now in Guanzhong, construction needs to be expedited.

The first is the road. Xu Zhiqing is going to renovate the road, and first build a flat and spacious official road.

Anyway, the Southern Song Dynasty sent free labor, so it was not for nothing.

As for the possibility of the [-] troops occupying his city.

The premise is that those generals have the opportunity to give orders!

Seeing that Xu Zhiqing had already thought about how to use the [-] soldiers in such a short time, Yelu Chucai felt that he probably worried too much.

"Okay, taking advantage of this time, I happened to go to Shangzhou to talk to Kublai Khan!"

Yelu Chucai sighed, why did he come back to this topic again.

He cupped his hands: "Then I would like to congratulate the pavilion master for a smooth journey!"

Xu Zhiqing didn't bother to talk to Yelu Chucai, and went straight out of the hall.

One day later, Xu Zhiqing and Xiao Longnu left Jingzhao Mansion together.

Seven days later, the two arrived in Shangzhou.

Xu Zhiqing met the scouts from Shangzhou and learned that they had come too early, and Kublai Khan was still on his way.

Three days later, Kublai Khan's army stopped in Shangzhou.

After Xu Zhiqing listened to the scout's report, he got up immediately.

"Long'er, let's talk to that person! I like talking heart-to-heart at night!"

After Xu Zhiqing took Xiaolongnv to investigate the Mongolian camp, he confirmed the battalion commander of Kublai Khan.

After midnight, he asked the little dragon girl to meet him outside the Mongolian camp, while he sneaked into the camp quietly.

　I owe one more!I owe it for now.
