Chapter 262 There is still another way to choose! (Here it comes!)

Logically speaking, it is quite rude to wash your face and wash your hands in front of everyone. Zhang Heng didn't care at all. When they brought the water, he washed his face and hands, very free and easy.

The maid removed the water basin and others, and Nong Zhigao immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, the banquet still needs to be prepared for a while. Why don't we talk about something else first?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Nong Shuai wants to find out why I'm here, right?"

Nong Zhigao nodded and said, "Can you tell me?"

Zhang Heng laughed and said: "Of course you can say it, it's not a shameful thing. This matter can not only be said here, but also outside, you can tell the people of Song Dynasty, you can tell the cave masters, you can also tell An

Lord Nan said, of course, you can also tell Nong Shuai."

Nong Zhigao suddenly frowned: "I am all ears over there. I hope Mr. Zhang is not here to entertain me."

Zhang Heng smiled when he heard this: "Nong Shuai is joking. Although I, Zhang Heng, am not the all-in-one prime minister of the Song Dynasty, I am also one of the prime ministers who manage everything. If there is nothing important, how can I come here to Guangyuan Prefecture to entertain you?"

handsome?"

Nong Zhigao knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly said: "Mr. Zhang, I have said the wrong thing. Please tell me."

They are all smart people. In order to seize the initiative in the scene, they are not willing to let go of even the smallest details.

Zhang Heng also accepted the offer and said with a smile: "Shuai Nong, I'm serious..."

Zhang Heng paused and said: "... Nong Shuai, I would like to ask first, where is the root of the conflict between Nong Shuai and Guangdong and Guangxi?"

conflict?

Nong Zhigao was stunned when he heard this. This time, they all lost their minds. He led tens of thousands of troops to attack the city and captured the territory. He even killed several generals of the Song Dynasty. However, Zhang Heng's words were just a conflict.

Just passed?

Moreover, you ask me what is the reason for attacking Guangdong and Guangxi?

Aren’t I coveting the land and population of Guangdong and Guangxi?

Seeing that Nong Zhigao was stunned, Zhang Heng smiled. He didn't expect him to answer at first, so he said directly: "In my opinion, the root cause lies in the Annan Kingdom. If it weren't for the Annan Kingdom's oppression of the people of Guangyuan Prefecture, the Nong family's descendants would

There is no need to go north to find a living space, and the same is true for the people of Guangyuan Prefecture, so the root lies in Annan, not you."

Hearing this, Nong Zhigao immediately hit the snake on the stick, gritted his teeth and said: "Xiangong Zhang is right, the root of everything lies in Annan, and it all lies in that thief Li Foma!

If it weren't for him, my father and brothers would be able to live well, and I wouldn't have to be homeless since I was a child. The people of Guangyuan Prefecture have been oppressed for many years and are miserable!

The reason why I want to join the Song Dynasty is to get rid of the oppression of that thief Li Fuma. We are obviously from the Song Dynasty. We can obviously enjoy the glory of the Song Dynasty like a real Song Dynasty person, but we have to be like a dog.

Generally, hiding in the wilderness!

However, the officials of the Song Dynasty did not think that we were Song people, and they turned a blind eye to the invasion of Guangyuan Prefecture by Li Fuma's bandits. Therefore, I had no choice but to lead my tribe to lock up the customs, hoping to attract the attention of the court officials.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhang, you are finally here. Now that you are here, you must make decisions for the thousands of people in Guangyuan Prefecture!"

Um.

Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction and met.

"I am here to make decisions for the thousands of people in Guangyuan Prefecture. Nong Shuai, I wonder what the imperial court can do for you?"

Nong Zhigao’s eyes flashed, the highlight was coming!

Nong Zhigao pondered for a moment and said: "Please ask the imperial court to send a large army to station in Guangyuan Prefecture to frighten Annan and return freedom to the people of Guangyuan Prefecture!"

Zhang Heng sneered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Shuai Nong, the imperial court will not send a large army to Guangyuan Prefecture. Do you have any other methods?"

Nong Zhigao was overjoyed when he heard this. This was just a test. If the Song Dynasty sent an army to Guangyuan Prefecture, would it frighten Annan or annihilate Nong Zhigao?

Who can say this well?

Once Zhang Heng wants to use this method, he and Nong Zhigao can run as far as they want. What else is there to talk about?

Nong Zhigao pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "If the imperial army cannot enter Guangyuan Prefecture, then the current predicament may be difficult to solve. Otherwise, please ask Mr. Zhang to send an envoy to talk to Annan Liverma, and maybe we can persuade him."

Annan will not come to invade Guangyuan Prefecture."

Zhang Heng smiled when he heard this: "Shuai Nong, since I'm here, I have proven my sincerity. There is no need to say more about this kind of temptation, right?"

Nong Zhigao looked at Zhang Heng, but he did not want to be outdone. He considered and said: "Since Zhang Xiang traveled thousands of miles to go deep into the wilderness, he must have come with mature rules. Zhigao is just a country man.

If you have any mature ideas, please ask Zhang Xiang for advice."

Nong Zhigao threw the question back.

Zhang Heng smiled when he saw this and said: "That's alright, Nong Shuai, I'll tell you."

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "Guangyuan Prefecture is the Guangyuan Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. It is also the Guangyuan Prefecture of the people of Guangyuan Prefecture. It is also the Guangyuan Prefecture of the Nong family, Huang family, Wei family and Zhou family.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty must protect Guangyuan Prefecture, the people of Guangyuan Prefecture must also protect Guangyuan Prefecture, and Nong Huang and Wei Zhou must also protect Guangyuan Prefecture..."

Zhang Heng looked at Nong Zhigao thoughtfully and said: "...Nong Shuai, you didn't have a choice before, but now you can."

After saying this, Zhang Heng stopped talking.

Nong Zhigao was both excited and worried, and he quickly bowed and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Zhang Heng's smile gradually faded and became solemn.

"Actually, there are only a few roads. You and I both know that. It's just a matter of which direction to take the test. You should also know how many directions there are here."

Nong Zhigao also became solemn: "Annan, Song Dynasty and...Guangyuan Prefecture."

Zhang Heng nodded with a smile: "So, Li Foma appreciates you quite a lot, and he should have given you an official position. As long as you are willing to vote for him, he will not care too much about you, right?"

Nong Zhigao was noncommittal.

Zhang Heng added: "As for the Song Dynasty, they don't pay much attention to the southwest. Therefore, if you want the Song Dynasty to send an army over, or have other support, I'm afraid it won't work. What do you think?

All you need to get is a title, or the title of magistrate of Guangyuan Prefecture, or something like that. Anyway, it’s just in name only, and what you can achieve is all up to you."

Nong Zhigao frowned when he heard this: "Then it's no different from relying on myself, right?"

Zhang Heng shook his head and smiled: "How can there be no difference? With this great righteousness and this title, you can call on the four major surnames in Guangyuan Prefecture and the cave owners of various caves to fight against Annan with you. This is better than fighting against Annan alone.

Much better, right?”

Nong Zhigao frowned even more tightly. If this suggestion had been made before, he would have been ecstatic because it was something he had dreamed of doing, but now it was like useless.

Zhang Heng said that he could call on the four major surnames in Guangyuan Prefecture and many cave owners to fight against Annan in the name of the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture. This sounded good, as if Guangyuan Prefecture would be his world from now on, Nong Zhigao, but

This is not actually the case.

After all, in Guangyuan Prefecture, the most important thing is fists. Previously, Nong Zhigao had the support of the Nong family, so he also attracted many young people to invest. However, after the battle in Yongzhou, tens of thousands of people lost nearly 100,000 yuan.

In all likelihood, now he even wants to seek refuge with others, so how can he have the ability to call on others?

In fact, this is no longer useless, but a way to die.

The Song Dynasty appointed him as the magistrate of Guangyuan Prefecture. Well, after Annan heard the news, his first choice was probably to send a large army to attack himself, in order to test the Song Dynasty's attitude towards Guangyuan Prefecture.

This is very possible. With Liverma's character, he will definitely do this.

Liverma was no ordinary person. In the early years after he came to the throne, he led his army to put down the armed rebellions of three brothers.

In order to make all civil and military officials loyal to the imperial court, he built a temple at Shengshou Temple on the right side of Daluo City and held an oath ceremony. He read the oath in front of the gods: "If you are unfilial as a son and unfaithful as a minister, the gods will kill you."

After that, Li Foma created a relatively complete bureaucracy. He abolished the ten roads of the Ding Dynasty and divided the country into twenty-four roads. Two villages were established in Aizhou and Huanzhou in the south.

In addition, according to the official system of the Song Dynasty, there were local chief executives, each district had a magistrate and a prefect, and each state had a state pastor.

At the roads, states and villages, local military attachés were set up to lead the garrison. Therefore, the Li Dynasty achieved unprecedented control over Annan.

As a result, Li Chao Annan became very powerful. Li Foma not only had thoughts about Guangyuan Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, but also about Champa.

In the early years of Qingli, he personally supervised all the armies and sent out thousands of oars to invade Champa by sea. He killed King Zhadou and defeated the Cham army. Li's army pursued and killed 30,000 people, captured 5,000 people alive, and stuffed them with corpses.

Wilderness.

Although Nong Zhigao has always called Li Foma a dog thief, this is the dog thief who killed his father Nong Quanfu and used him like a dog for many years. Nong Zhigao knows what kind of person he is.

Very good!

Now the Song Dynasty is indifferent to Guangyuan Prefecture, and Li Fuma even has a hand in Guangyuan Prefecture, but as long as he is driven away, he will give up. But if the Song Dynasty gives him an official title, then Li Fuma will do it in order to pay tribute to Guangyuan Prefecture.

The Song Dynasty made it clear that it would have to kill itself when the time comes!

That is really a way to die!

As for the four major surnames and the rest of the cave owners, Nong Zhigao could only laugh.

After this battle, Nong's vitality was severely damaged. It was impossible to support him, and the clan members had different opinions. It would be very difficult for him to borrow support again.

As for other big names, they may not trust him. In the past, when he was high-spirited, he also suppressed other big names. Now that he is in trouble, it is good that they don't come directly to his door. As for whether he will listen to his orders... or not.

Too much expectation is good.

As for the rest of the cave owners, they are all masters who adapt to the wind. They can rely on them when the wind is going smoothly, but when it comes to life and death, how can they care about themselves!

"Why, this doesn't work?" Zhang Heng asked.

Nong Zhigao shook his head slowly: "No."
