After the news that Qian Shouyi's three thousand cavalry was about to collapse under the Northern Tang cavalry led by Yichun and Li Gan reached Pingxiang, Liu Xinda was silent for a long time before he said to Tengjian, Liu Buwu, and Liu An: "Now you understand why I gave up the Jiujiang base and became a bandit?"

Teng Jian and others all smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

"I can't win!" Liu Xinda sighed, "The longer the time goes, the bigger the gap will be. It's ridiculous that the Southern Alliance still naively thought that Li Ze wanted to rest because of the years of war and the national strength was not strong, and they took this opportunity to coordinate the forces of all parties. Li Ze really wanted to do something, so he didn't need to use too many troops. The army of two or three guards was enough to sweep the south."

"Since that's the case, why didn't Li Ze fight?" Liu Buwu said in confusion.

Liu Xinda said: "Li Ze has regarded this world as his own. Since it is his own thing, of course he does not want to smash things. After all, the Southern Alliance still has a certain strength now? If it is broken, he feels distressed. So if it is dragged and forced, problems will arise within the Southern Alliance first. Not to mention anything else, military pressure alone is enough to make the Southern economy sway on the brink of collapse."

"The south is still very rich!" Liu An said: "It is completely self-sufficiency."

"If there is no external pressure, the South can indeed be self-sufficient." Liu Xinda said: "But it is different now. In order to train a strong army, the Southern Alliance will inevitably increase taxes, taxes, and recruit soldiers. In recent years, the pressure on the southerners has been very heavy and will soon be unable to hold on. Li Ze will never let them relax. He will not move temporarily in military affairs and will definitely use various means economically."

Teng Jian nodded slightly.

"More importantly, it is difficult for the South to unite all forces. Not to mention the various governors, even within the governor, there are many contradictions. A large amount of wealth is owned by those big families, and these people do not pay taxes. These people with a lot of wealth want to protect themselves and have money, they only use money to strengthen their own people's strength. Speaking of which, the power of the South is really good, but it is in the hands of different people. It is simply a dream to make everyone work together. The so-called robbery is to push for good things, and if you have any mistakes, you will rush to do good things, and no one wants to do difficult things. How can this approach be Li Ze's opponent?"

Teng Jian said: "And Li Ze suppressed the big landlords and powerful men, and was quite friendly to merchants. So the big businessmen in the south were afraid that they would be very active now."

"It is because of this that I want to run!" Liu Xinda said: "Run far away, run to a place that Li Ze cannot reach, and let's live a free life."

"Is Nanzhao, Jiaozhi, Chameng, these places really easy to fight?" Liu Buwu was a little confused.

"For more than a year, I have been working hard to collect information on this. For example, Nanzhao, Jiaozhi, and Chameng, there are unified kings, but this king is only nominal, with many subordinate forces. More importantly, these large forces are not strong for us. So as long as we can get there, it is not a big problem to get a piece of land first. As long as we stand firm, we can operate it slowly. Do you know that there are too many rice in Chameng, and how many seasons can we plant in a year!" Liu Xinda smiled.

"In this way, why are we hesitating? Let's leave earlier!" Liu An became excited: "If you leave one day earlier, you will arrive one day earlier."

"Nothing is so easy. We have to go through Hunan and Guangxi!" Teng Jian said.

"As long as I am not with Li Ze's army, I don't take anyone else seriously!" Liu Buwu said with a smile.

"It's time to leave!" Liu Xinda said: "The next stop is Zhuzhou. Liu An is still the first to go to Zhuzhou, rob everywhere, attracting Hunan troops from Zhuzhou to come out of the city to wipe out you, and then Tengjian follows, don't fight Zhuzhou City, you just go around and run to Xiangtan. Xiangtan is close to Changsha! Zhuzhou troops will inevitably divide their troops to chase you."

Teng Jian smiled and said, "Maybe the troops in Xiangtan still want to attack me from Zhuzhou. This is an opportunity."

"Are you going to hit an ambush? Who are you going to hit first?"

"Of course it's Xiangtan soldiers!" Teng Jian smiled and said, "They are afraid that they can't estimate our progress speed. There is a time difference between them, which is just right to use."

Liu Xinda laughed: "In this way, we can go to Xiangtan to celebrate the New Year."

"Of course." Teng Jian said.

"Liu An, how many troops are under your command now?" Liu Xinda turned around and asked.

"Uncle, we are recruiting soldiers vigorously in Pingxiang, and many bandits from Jiangxi have come to surrender. Now there are tens of thousands of troops under my command." Liu An said happily.

"You also have to divide the levels of this ten thousand people, which can be integrated into combat-capable and used as formal troops, and some can be thrown out to charge. You must have a clear idea in your heart. Although I have become bandits, I cannot really regard myself as a bandit. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, uncle!" Liu An said. "I will slowly rectify a unit that is not inferior to the left, center and right armies on the way forward."

"That's good!" Liu Xinda nodded with satisfaction: "Tomorrow, Tangren's supplies will be delivered. After getting these things, let's go!"

"The Tang people's things were sold too expensive. The brothers worked hard to get back these gold, silver and treasures, and in a blink of an eye they gave them to the Tang people. When it comes to black, who can be more sarcastic than the Tang people? We have lost our reputation and can get nothing. They have gained benefits and finally gained a good reputation." Liu An was a little annoyed.

"It's all nonsense. If you don't have enough strength, you have to admit it. As long as the Tang people are willing to sell us things, we will be happy secretly! If we can get their grenades and ignite bombs, how many people will die less!" Liu Xinda snorted coldly: "Now that the manpower is filled, don't rely too much on these weapons in the battle. The further we go, the more difficult it will be to get these things from the Tang people. Save some use. When we get to the ground, these weapons can play a greater role."

"I understand!" The three of them stood up in the room.

"First give the rewards to your brothers, this must not be missed." Liu Xinda said: "The old rules and regulations are the excretion fee of twenty taels of silver per person."

Qian Wenxi returned to Xinyu in a bad mood. When he left Yichun, he saw teams of Tang soldiers set off again. The destination was Pingxiang. He knew that Liu Xinda must have run away again, and Tang army ran to occupy the territory.

He didn't know where Liu Xinda would go, but Pingxiang was very close to Zhuzhou, Hunan. He was very eager for Liu Xinda not to cause trouble to Jiangxi again and run to Hunan to rage! It would also make Qian breathe a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, he really envied Liu Xinda. This guy used to be a military leader, without any worries, could leave as long as he could leave anything, as long as he had an army in his hand.

But Qian's is not.

The Qian family has a great business and abandoned the family business, then the Qian family will be nothing. The Qian family is still the backbone of Jiangxi. Once those people find out that the Qian family can no longer be their backbone, they are afraid that they will abandon them without hesitation and choose another one that can help them maintain their current glory and wealth.

So no matter how difficult it is, Qian can only support it, although he doesn’t know what the future will be.

Be a monk and hit the bell for a day.

After handing over to his brother Qian Wenzhong, Qian Wenxi walked back in a bad mood. When he walked past a room and saw the soldiers guarding outside, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart and walked over.

"How is the eldest son?" he asked.

"The eldest son has always been quiet." The soldier guarding at the door said respectfully.

Qian Wenxi sighed, and the eldest brother was still not relieved. To be honest, he was also heartbroken by his second brother's death. Shouyi was a little too reckless, but no matter what, Shouyi was also the most promising person in his next generation.

After pushing open the door, Qian Wenxi walked in.

There was no fire in the room, as cold as outside, and Qian Shouyi actually sat cross-legged on the ground, tilting his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why don't you make a fire?" He shouted at the outside with some anger.

"Uncle San, I won't let them give it to you." Qian Shouyi turned his head and looked at Qian Wenxi.

"Shouyi, you only know that you are wrong. Your second uncle's death cannot be entirely blamed on you. Anyone who puts such a thing on you will be unable to resist." Qian Wenxi walked across from Qian Shouyi and comforted him, "You don't need to suffer so much. The dead are gone. Your second uncle is in the nine springs, and I don't want to see you like this."

Qian Shouyi shook his head: "Uncle San, I'm not because of this, I'm because I can be more clear in such an environment. I'm thinking about how we can beat Tang Jun!"

"Win the Tang Army?" Qian Wenxi smiled bitterly, imitated Qian Shouyi and sat on the ground. However, Qian Shouyi dragged a mat and handed it to him: "Uncle San, I am young and it's not a problem, you can't do it."

Qian Wenxi smiled and sat on the mat, "Then have you come up with something?"

"There is actually a way to do military affairs." Qian Shouyi said: "Didn't General Xiang Zhen also say it? The Tang army's artillery is indeed powerful, but it also has fatal weaknesses. Although their grenades are fierce, their lethality is just that. As long as they rush together, they will not be able to play a role."

"You just thought of this?" Qian Wenxi was a little disappointed.
