Zhongping County City has completely become a military camp. In addition to leaving 50,000 Tiger Ben Army, the remaining 45,000 people appeared here. In addition to the tens of thousands of county soldiers transferred from the county governors that the court still controlled, Wu Jian had gathered 100,000 in Zhongping County City.

In his original plan, he was preparing to assemble 150,000 troops, but unfortunately, some county governors denied it for various reasons, either no one, no money or food, or claimed that the team had set out long ago, but now, they have not even seen a figure.

Of course, there is something wrong with it. Either these people are the sympathizers of Luo's or the waiters who are uncertain who will win the final victory.

Wu Jian just sneered a few times about this situation. Of course, he would not touch these people now. He would force these people to be impatient and let out another Luo Yishui, which would make things worse for the current Yue Kingdom. Stabilize them, and after dealing with Luo Yishui himself, turn around and slowly deal with them one by one.

Since you cannot help you in times of crisis, let me give you a knife in the future.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that it is better to focus on siege and confrontation." The left prime minister Zhang Ning said: "The Luo thieves did not seize Zhongping County, which has caused him to lose his foothold. Without the supplement of food and weapons, they can't last long. The 100,000 rebels have to eat a lot of food every day. This number is not something that the Luo thieves can afford. We can completely use calmness to stop, wait for them to attack us, and then swallow him in one bite."

Listening to Zhang Ning's suggestion, Wu Jian shook his head.

"Your advice is not good from a military perspective, but it won't work if we are in the reality we are now."

"Your Majesty is worried about those fencemen?" Zhang Ning said sternly.

Wu Jian nodded: "Of course, don't talk about the places we can't control now, nor do you talk about the places outside Yuejing that are still under our command. Even in Yuejing, do you think we can rest assured?"

Zhang Ning hesitated for a moment and shook his head. Even though he had been cleaned up in Yuejing several times, who could guarantee that there would be no secret line from Luo family in private. Chen Ci's affairs still made Zhang Ning still feel scared. If this happens again, who can bear it?

You should know that the Luo family and the royal family Wu family are all family members of the Shiqi family and have been around since the Tang Dynasty.

"The longer we delay, the more likely those who are ill-behaved will be toward Luo Yishui. So I must use thunder to knock out Luo Yishui, Chen Ci and others, and give these fence-bearing grass to make them understand that Yue Guo is still from Wu." Wu Jian snorted coldly. "Anyone who is not in love will disappear in front of me."

"Your Majesty, the reason is this, but if such a loss is not small. Although the Hu Ben Army is strong in combat, the rebels used to be border troops, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than the soldiers of the county under our current command." Zhang Ning said, the court is still confident now, because of the existence of the Hu Ben Army. If the Hu Ben Army suffers too much, how can we intimidate those who are ill-behaved?

"Loss is inevitable, it depends on whether it is worth it. The Hu Ben Army can be rebuilt, but once the country is lost, how can we get it back?" Wu Jian said lightly.

"Your Majesty, although the Taiping Army is helping us now, their wolf ambitions are well known to everyone. If the Hu Ben Army suffers too much, how can we check and balance them then?" Zhang Ning said worriedly.

The Taiping Army has now controlled Shayang County and Changyang County, and now has controlled Yongping County. Compared with Luo Yishui, they have just not openly raised the flag of rebellion. The imperial court's orders are not much different from farting for them.

"Taiping Army!" Wu Jian burst into laughter. Zhang Ning was puzzled. Doesn't the Taiping Army need to worry? If the Hu Ben Army and Luo Yishui fight and both lose both sides, will the Taiping Army be the one who will benefit in the end?

If the Taiping Army suddenly turned against each other at that time, how would the court respond? Judging from the emperor's appearance, he was completely confident. As the chief assistant, he knew nothing about the emperor's thoughts and plans to do so. Zhang Ning suddenly felt a little chilled.

It seems that the emperor does not trust him as he imagined!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm so happy!" Kang Qiao, the commander of the Hu Ben Army, walked in from outside happily.

"Where does the joy come from?" Wu Jian raised his eyebrows.

"Return to Your Majesty, just now the news came from Yongping that the Taiping Army severely damaged Chen Ci's troops in Yongping. Luo Yishui's plan to seize Yongping County has been severely defeated. Now Chen Ci retreated to Fancheng and tried to make another last fight. However, the two Taiping Army battalions defeated him, for fear that once the main force of the Taiping Army arrived, he would not even be able to defend Fancheng." Kang Qiao said loudly.

"Two battle camps? How many people?" Wu Jian was slightly shocked when he heard that the two battle camps defeated Chen Ci's 20,000 people entering Yongping County.

"Your Majesty, the ones participating in the battle this time were Baoqing Camp and the Miner Battalion, one with a 5,000 personnel and the other with a 3,000 personnel." Kang Qiao replied. The good news had been heard before, and he was happy. Now when the emperor asked this, he suddenly remembered what this meant, and his face changed a little.

Chen Ci's border army is not a bad guy, but with twice the opponent's strength, he was defeated. The combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army is terrifying. They have no intuitive feelings about the combat capabilities of the Taiping Army. However, the Shuntian Army, which has experienced the powerful Taiping Army, has now been swept into the dust of history.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Ning looked at Wu Jian.

Wu Jian was silent for a moment, and his face became more relaxed from solemnity. He looked at his two confidants and said lightly: "No need to worry, there is one thing I didn't tell you. When we arrived at Zhongping, I left halfway for a few days, and you didn't know."

Both of them were surprised, and Zhang Ning stared at the emperor, "Your Majesty, where have you been?"

"I went to find Li Zhi." Wu Jian said: "I gave him Yongping County, and the price was that he had to destroy the Taiping Army. So now, Li Zhi should be sharpening his knife."

"So that's the case." Zhang Ning was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then the Taiping Army might as well be more powerful. Let the Qin people bite them. Qin Feng had an unresolved hatred with the Qin border army in Chu before. This time he would let him fight again with the Qin border army. It would be better if they fought both sides of the defeat."

Wu Jian smiled and nodded. Zhang Ning's reaction was fast. The combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army was beyond his expectations. Then the Qin army would definitely be greatly hindered when attacking them. As soon as they started a war, the two sides were evenly matched, no one could get out easily. As Zhang Ning said, the more intense the battle, the better, the worse the better.

Kang Qiao was a little depressed: "Your Majesty, there are 100,000 Qin troops, and the Taiping Army will definitely not be the opponent, but we lost Yongping County and were swallowed by the Qin people. It would be difficult to get it back."

"So what? Can it be worse than the current situation?" Wu Jian smiled and said, "If the Taiping Army is defeated by the Qin people, after defeating Luo Yishui, we can take advantage of the situation to take back Changyang County and Shayang County, and even get the Taiping City that Qin Feng has worked hard to build. Speaking of which, we still make a profit."

"What Your Majesty said is very true. Although the Qin people are good at fighting, their national strength is weak. They have always put themselves first and are unable to shake the foundation of our country. However, Qin Feng is different. Looking at his governance in Shayang and other places, it can be said that he is digging the foundation of our Dayue. If he lets him grow up, he will inevitably become a major concern for our Dayue. If he can exchange his destruction for a Yongping County, we will make a profit no matter how we look at it. More importantly, we are connected with Qi again, which is good for us."

"But what good thing is Qiren?" Kang Qiao murmured.

"The Qi people are indeed not good things, but now we can only rely on them." Wu Jian sighed to the sky: "We must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. Once we clear the enemy in the country, we should revive the court and then shape the greatness of Dayue. The battle between the Qi people and the Chu people cannot be decided in a moment or three moments, and the Qin people will also restrain part of the Qi people's strength. And we are now temporarily attached to the big tree of Qi. When our Dayue national strength grows, we can move in time. At that time, whether to continue to rely on Qi or turn to help Chu, we will have room for choice."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Ning nodded repeatedly.

"Zhang Ning, send someone to Yongping County to reward the Taiping Army and tell Qin Feng that I hope he will continue to work hard and pursue the victory, and be sure to eliminate Chen Ci's troops." Wu Jian waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning nodded, "use a little money to make Qin Feng excited a little more! Let him be more energetic. When he makes a lot of money in the future, the Qin army will descend from the sky. At that time, I don't know what face he will be."

Wu Jian smiled proudly: "The child who is still chubby and wants to fight me, it's really whimsical. By the way, Zhang Ning, Xu Jie has already set off, right?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince has sent a message. After Xu Jie was released from prison, he was so grateful that he had already set out for Zhengyang County. Your Majesty is going to let him deal with the Taiping Army over there?"

Wu Jian smiled: "Of course, Xu Jie is still capable. He is from Zhengyang County. Let him go back to the fullest. When the main force of the Taiping Army is destroyed and Qin Feng is over, how much combat effectiveness will be left in Zhengyang County. Kang Qiao, we must move, and we will mobilize the entire army immediately. We will send Tongcheng to fight to the death with this rebel. Defeat Luo Yishui earlier, and we will clean up the mess. After returning, we will march while we will take advantage of the victory and take back Shayang and other places in one fell swoop. They have left the imperial court's rule for too long, and it is time to come back."

"I understand, Your Majesty." (To be continued.)
