Chapter 256 The legend about Zhang Heng! (Here he comes!)

Nong Zhigao stared at Qi Bin coldly.

Qi Bin was covered in cold sweat, but his throat was extremely dry. He knew that the Nong Zhigao in front of him was a real ruthless person. Nong Zhigao was based on the Tianzhou Road in Youjiang area and dared to fight against Jiaozhi. He had been fighting for many years.

Not to be outdone, he kills decisively and is heart-wrenching.

Qi Bin swallowed his saliva and said: "Nong Shuai, I was not involved in this matter. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have foolishly sacrificed my life for Na Dingdu. However, this is an order after all. If I disobey,

Those are the rebels, the last general..."

Nong Zhigao's face became gentle: "Well, then I can't blame you, Qi Shuai, you don't need to betray the Song Dynasty. After all, I, Nong Zhigao, am also a Song Dynasty person. We are all people from the Song Dynasty, so naturally we must support the Song Dynasty."

Song Dynasty.

The problem now is that Envoy Ding Zhuan does not trust me and thinks that I am going to harm the Song Dynasty. In fact, this is not true. I only fought against Jiaozhi's infringement on the Song Dynasty. It was definitely not against the Song Dynasty.

came.

Qi Shuai, you also know that Jiaozhi is eyeing Guangyuan Prefecture. Guangyuan Prefecture belongs to the Song Dynasty in name, but Jiaozhi often crosses the border and bullies the people of the Song Dynasty in Guangyuan Prefecture as Jiaozhi people. How can that be done?

Well, we are Song people, how can we be oppressed by the Cochin people?

But Song officials have always paid little attention to the affairs of Guangyuan Prefecture. If this happens, we can only rise up and resist on our own. This was originally a righteous act to resist foreign aggression, but why can't the officials of the Song Dynasty understand it? Alas!"

Nong Zhigao looked very helpless: "So, Qi Shuai, I hope you can help the people of Guangyuan Prefecture and write to the court to bring Guangyuan Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. Our Nong family is willing to guard the Song Dynasty for the court.

The southwest gate of our country, don’t let Jiaozhi invade the territory of the Song Dynasty!”

Qi Bin looked troubled: "Nong Shuai, the general is only a general, and his rank is not high. It is really not the general who can make the decision on such matters..."

Nong Zhigao's face looked a little anxious, and he snorted: "Then I would like to ask, what can Qi Shuai do?"

Qi Bin's heart suddenly tightened, knowing that this round of conversation was already the most critical moment. If the conversation was good, his life could be saved. If the conversation was not good, then his blood might be spattered on the spot.

Qi Bin's head was running rapidly, knowing that no matter what he said, he could not deceive a person with such a high intelligence like Nong Zhigao. It would be better to...

Qi Bin's heart skipped a beat and said, "Shuai Nong, now that the matter is over, the general will tell the truth. If you are unhappy after hearing this and want to kill the general, the general will also admit it!"

When Nong Zhigao heard this, he said happily: "What I like most is to hear the truth. Although the truth doesn't sound good, it is useful. Just tell it."

Qi Bin sneered and said: "Shuai Nong, you want to rely on the Song Dynasty to fight against Jiaozhi and hope to become the king of the northwest. It's just a big joke and a dream!"

Qi Bin stared closely at Nong Zhigao's face, hoping to see anger on his face, but Nong Zhigao smiled: "Qishui, please continue."

Qi Bin asked curiously: "I broke your illusion with my own hands. Aren't you angry?"

Nong Zhigao waved his hand and said: "Qi Shuai, you don't need to take into account my mood, just keep talking."

Qi Bin nodded and said: "Jiaozhi has always been quite strong. The Song Dynasty didn't want to offend it easily, let alone offend Jiaozhi for a little person like you. No matter how fierce the quarrel you were with Jiaozhi, in the eyes of the Song Dynasty princes, it was just scabies."

It’s just a moss disease, oh, a clown..."

Nong Zhigao's face showed a hint of shame and anger.

Qi Bin felt a little proud: I really thought you had a big belly.

"...The Song Dynasty's acceptance of your annexation means that it will take over the grievances between you and Jiaozhi. This is not a good thing for the Song Dynasty, so don't think about it."

Nong Zhigao frowned tightly: "Is there no solution at all? Even if I have defeated Yongzhou, it will not be enough to make the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty pay attention to me?"

Qi Bin chuckled: "This kind of news can't even be spread out on Guangnan West Road. Ding Du will not ask the court for help. He will find a way to solve the matter on Guangnan West Road."

Nong Zhigao's expression changed several times, and then he said: "Then what can I do to get the approval of the Song Dynasty court?"

Qi Bin shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible."

Nong Zhigao's face was cold: "There is no possibility at all?"

Qi Bin nodded and said: "Absolutely impossible, unless you can defeat the subsequent army of the Song Dynasty, and after you defeat the army of the Song Dynasty, do you still need to annex the Song Dynasty?"

The muscles on Nong Zhigao's face twitched.

Yes, if he could defeat the Song Dynasty's army, why would he do everything possible to seek annexation? Didn't he just want to use the power of the Song Dynasty to fight against Jiaozhi? He couldn't even fight against Jiaozhi, so how could he fight against a behemoth like the Song Dynasty?

Nong Zhigao was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Then what do I need from you?"

Qi Bin was startled and said: "Nong Shuai, I just want to tell you that the internal path is absolutely impossible. It is better to think of another way..."

Nong Zhigao said irritably: "What else can be done? If it cannot be internalized, Jiaozhi..."

He suddenly calmed down, and then said: "Qi Shuai, please continue, what can you do?"

Qi Bin chuckled: "A real man was born in heaven and earth, so why should he live in depression for a long time? Nong Shuai, if I were you, I would go directly to the east, capture Guangzhou, capture the entire Guangnan East Road, and directly become the king of the south.

The Song Guan family also has to call you brothers!"

Nong Zhigao was shocked: "Win Guangzhou?"

Qi Bin nodded and said: "Yes, if Nong Shuai wins Guangzhou, he will accomplish great things."

Nong Zhigao narrowed his eyes: "We can accomplish great things... Please Qi Shuai teach me."

Qi Bin smiled and said: "Nong Shuai knows that Guangzhou is now the economic center of the south. If Nong Shuai can capture Guangzhou and control Guangnan East Road, he will be able to compete with the Song Dynasty."

Nong Zhigao didn't believe it when he heard this: "Contend the Song Dynasty? How is this possible?"

Qi Bin said: "Nong Shuai has been hiding in the mountains these years. Maybe he doesn't know the changes in Guangnan East Road in recent years. Seven years ago, Zhang Heng, the current deputy privy envoy, served as the transfer envoy of Guangnan East Road and also knew Guangzhou.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xianggong, the population of Guangnan East Road has reached one million households, the tax revenue ranks among the top five in the Song Dynasty, and the increase in grain can feed a million households.

Moreover, Guangzhou's industries and commerce such as metallurgy, shipbuilding, coal, and cement are very prosperous, and Guangzhou's foreign trade is comparable to that of Hangzhou and Quanzhou.

It can be said that if we can capture Guangnan East Road, then Nong Shuai will be like capturing Jiangnan, and we can rely on it to become the capital to dominate the world!"

Nong Zhigao couldn't help but was speechless: "Guangnan East Road was originally not much better than Guangnan West Road, with a household registration of only 100,000 households. However, it suddenly increased dozens of times. A road with a population of one million households should be

Is it the most prosperous road in the Song Dynasty?

And as far as I know, Guangnan East Road has always been short of food, so everyone has to come to Guangnan West Road to purchase food. How come they can now be self-sufficient? This is... amazing!

Who is Mr. Zhang Hengzhang, and why is he so powerful?"

Qi Bin said proudly: "The Song Dynasty was full of outstanding people, and there was always an endless supply of extraordinary talents. There is nothing surprising about this."

Nong Zhigao laughed and thought, there are many geniuses in the world, but there are also endless pustules like you.

But if he said this, he would be humiliating people in person. Nong Zhigao still wanted to get more information from Qi Bin, so he was unwilling to offend people too much.

Nong Zhigao said: "Since Guangnan East Road has become the road to prosperity in the Song Dynasty, it will probably be difficult to take Guangzhou, right?"

Qi Bin laughed: "Nong Shuai doesn't know. Although Guangnan West Road suddenly became rich, he is still a nouveau riche after all. In the past few years, he has only been busy developing the economy. How can the other supporting facilities be like this?"

Will you follow soon?

For example, the city defenses and the places to guard the troops are the same as before. This is of course because the sudden wealth is so sudden. Another reason is that Guangnan East Road is close to the sea, and other states and counties have no borders with other countries, so

There is no need for city defense at all.

Even if there are some, they are just to guard against some thieves. A regular army like Nong Shuai can destroy everything and easily capture it."

Nong Zhigao suddenly felt a little excited, but then he became suspicious: "Qi Shuai, why are you telling me this, and what is your purpose?"

Hearing this, Qi Bin's eyes showed hatred: "Huh, Ding can't survive my life and death. He forced me to come to you just to take my life. Hehe, he is unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust!"

If I want you to take Guangzhou, you have to take Wuzhou and Guizhou. I hope to capture Dingdu and leave me alone!"

Nong Zhigao laughed, patted Qi Bin on the shoulder happily and said: "Qi Shuai, in this case, don't go back to the Song Dynasty. Just follow me from now on, and I will make you the general of our Nantian Kingdom!"

Qi Bin quickly thanked him, and then Nong Zhigao ordered Qi Shuai and Qi Bin to be taken down to rest.

As soon as Qi Bin left, two people came out from behind.

"You all heard it, right? What do you think?"

Nong Zhigao asked the two people who had just come out.

One of these two people is named Huang Wei and the other is Huang Shimi.

Nong Zhigao was eager to know whether what Qi Bin said was true, but brothers Huang Wei and Huang Shimi were a little distracted and did not answer his questions for a while.

Nong Zhigao was a little unhappy: "Why, you don't want me to take Guangzhou, right?"

When Huang Wei heard Nong Zhigao's voice, he finally came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Nong Shuai, that's not the case. We brothers are from Guangzhou, but we will not shy away from this matter in the face of such a big event."

"Why is that?" Nong Zhigao asked.

Huang Shimi sighed and said: "It's because we heard the news about our old friend, and Nong Shuai also knew that our two brothers were Jinshi in the second year of Qingli. We passed many levels, but were dismissed in the palace examination."

, so my two brothers are so embarrassed and angry that they would rather come here... to assist Nong Shuai, hoping to make great achievements and impress the fellow villagers!"

Nong Zhigao suddenly asked curiously: "Old friend? Is it that Mr. Zhang?"

Huang Wei nodded and said: "Yes, it is Zhang Heng and Zhang Juzheng. He is the true pride of heaven..."

Huang Wei looked envious.

Nong Zhigao has always admired the two Huang Wei brothers. These two brothers are extremely resourceful. The Nong clan can still maintain its strength under the strangulation of the Jiaozhi Kingdom because of these two brothers. However, the Huang Wei brothers

Speaking of this Zhang Heng, a look of admiration appeared on his face, which immediately made him very curious.
