A tacit understanding between Lu Zheng, Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian can be easily reached, because cooperation between the three parties is of great benefit, while splitting each other is not beneficial.

Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian were working as the center of the court. They were full of confidence and thought about whether they could do a big battle, and even supported the Cao family and Zhao family, and even became the top wealthy family!

Unfortunately, before their butts were hot in the capital, Dakang Chao suddenly became in chaos. They couldn't stay in the capital anymore. Emperor Xinde would not let anyone go at this moment. They could only go to Jiangnan, but what should I do if the two rivers were?

Once the Liaodong Iron Cavalry really breaks through Maoer Mountain, the two rivers plains will be their battlefield, and the Cao family and the Zhao family will fall into thieves. By that time, can they still be at ease in Jinling?

So, at this moment, Lu Zheng could easily grasp their weaknesses.

"Two lords, I, Lu Zheng, are a refreshing person! Now I have 20,000 elite soldiers in my hands. This is the key! When the two lords and I worked together to suppress the rebellion, we were more passive than today's situation! But as a result, we successfully drove Long Zhaoyan away, recovered the capital, and made great contributions!

Therefore, the two adults should not be too pessimistic about the current situation. It is still unknown who will win to death!" Lu Zheng said.

Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian said almost in unison: "The situation in the two rivers is guaranteed to be safe if Lord Lu comes forward, and we are all optimistic. But Lord, the people of the two rivers are suffering. In recent years, we have sacrificed a lot because of the great prosperity of the past few years, especially my two provinces with 100,000 soldiers. This is almost the limit that our two rivers can support..."

Both of them were very smart and knew that Lu Zheng had to talk to them about the regulations that it would still require two soldiers. The Cao family and the Zhao family could not just talk, but they had to pay money and work.

But the two of them felt wronged, because they each sent 50,000 elite soldiers at the beginning, but all of these elite soldiers were transferred to the King of Qi. The two provinces of Henan and Hebei were empty, and they only had a little life-saving family left.

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "You are anxious to protect the Lianghe River, but have you ever thought about it? I am more anxious than the two. If the thieves attack the Lianghe River, they will go south along the Huai River, but directly attack Jiangnan!

Jiangnan is the granary in the world, and it is the richest place in Dakang. If Jiangnan is lost, Dakang will really be destroyed! Without the country, can our Lu family still exist?

Therefore, Jiangnan is already recruiting troops in full swing, and the grand plan to rebuild the Nanfu Army has been implemented. However, both adults are knowledgeable, so they should know that rebuilding the Nanfu Army cannot be done in one day. If there is no shortage, it will take at least one year to start to take shape. It is too late!"

Lu Zheng paused and said, "The so-called two adults, the two rivers must work hard! Let's do this, the two adults will find a way to raise 20,000 troops. We will arrange a total of 60,000 troops in the Lianghe area. This scale should be almost the same as the Liaodong Iron Cavalry!"

"Uh..." Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian looked at each other, and they were extremely shocked. Lu Zheng was very clear about their family background. The most important thing they had was this little capital. Lu Zheng actually asked for it.

But Lu Zheng was right. Only by protecting Jiangnan Dakang can there be hope, and only by protecting Jiangnan Dakang, and only by the two rivers can there be hope! Just...

Seeing the two of them hesitated, Lu Zheng immediately said, "Don't worry, sir, our soldiers from the two rivers will never return to the public this time. Give me 20,000. Once the war comes, I will return you 20,000. Where will the soldiers from the palace come from!"

Lu Zheng leaned over to Cao, Zhao and his two ears, and lowered their voices: "It's not like usual now. No matter who it is, you have to keep a little back, otherwise there will be chaos in the world, how can we save our lives?"

As soon as Lu Zheng said this, Cao and Zhao's expressions changed. Lu Zheng's words were a bit intriguing. Indeed, Dakang is different now. Can Emperor Xinde still control everything as before?

There is a great chaos, and all the powerful families and all have their own thoughts. It is an iron rule to protect themselves in troubled times. In this case, when the prince’s rebellion begins, the next step is that the powerful families and wealthy families will station their own troops and support themselves.

Lu Zheng rebuilt the Nanfu Army in Jiangnan, probably not only for the sake of Dakang, but also for the protection of Jiangnan. The Lu family needs to take advantage of the troubled times and need to take this opportunity to restore their former glory.

The two of them thought of this and were both shocked. Lu Zheng said again: "Don't worry, sir, your soldiers were not for nothing. I can promise you that after the matter is completed, each of them can get 300,000 taels of silver. The money is not easy to earn now, and the two of them have suffered disasters in the two rivers for years. This amount of money cannot be paid by the court. Our Lu family will take it away. Can the two of them feel at ease?"

Lu Zheng made his last heavy artillery. Once this move was made, Cao and Zhao could no longer resist it! The two rivers are a place where the horses were flat. The main income of the Cao and Zhao families relied on land rent and taxation. It is too difficult to save money by selling wheat these days. Although the two families are known as powerful families, their development has never been as good as the top wealthy families. The key reason is that they do not accumulate enough. To be blunt, they are short of money.

Henan and Hebei provinces have a large population, so it is actually easy to recruit soldiers. If they can use troops to exchange for money, they will be willing to let Cao and Zhao families be human traffickers!

The two immediately made a statement. Lu Zheng exchanged 600,000 taels of silver for 40,000 soldiers and horses, and finally felt a little relieved. He had already made a decision to organize 40,000 soldiers from the two rivers into the Yulin Army, break up all the troops, and then beat and temper them. He had to set up the racks of the two rivers' march camps in the shortest time. With this big rack, Lu Zheng could advance and retreat at any time, holding nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, and Lu Zheng was confident to compete with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

...

Lu Zheng said goodbye to Cao and Zhao, and climbed the gate of Su Mansion in the second stop.

At this time, Su Xinghai was eager to see Lu Zheng in the Su Mansion. Emperor Xinde ran to Jiangnan and left Su Xinghai as the left-behind prime minister. Su Xinghai felt abandoned overnight and felt panic!

Not only that, Su Zhi of the Su family was defeated after the King of Qi. King of Qi fled to Jiangnan, but Su Zhi sneaked back. The defeated general returned to the capital and was immediately imprisoned by Emperor Xinde. Thanks to Lu Zheng's plea, Emperor Xinde asked the Ministry of Justice to release Su Zhi. Now Su Zhi is undoubtedly in a low tide.

The Su family was originally extremely glorious, and Su Xinghai was the chief minister. Su Zhi became more and more famous in recent years, and she had a faint sense of the demeanor of the Su family's future head. However, all this collapsed with the recent major events.

Therefore, the Su family really needs Lu Zheng at this moment. Lu Zheng said straight to the point: "Where is General Su? I want to meet him!"

Su Xinghai said: "Mr. Lu, thank you so much this time. Su Zhi was almost ruined. Fortunately, you took action at the critical moment. The Su family is facing a huge crisis at the moment. I have been unable to sleep at night these days!"

Lu Zheng said: "The capital city is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, and the Southern Court will become the center again. Su Xiang, even if you stay in the capital city, you should think about the road to the Su family carefully!"

When Lu Zheng said this, Su Xinghai looked confused. What he was struggling with recently was this matter. Should the capital city give up? The Su family is unable to leave the capital city!

Lu Zheng said: "Su Xiang, it is the most important to make a quick decision at this time. Whoever wakes up one point will have a more advantage. If it is too late, he will probably fall into a more passive situation!"

Su Xinghai's face changed, and he understood Lu Zheng's words. Lu Zheng's meaning was that the Su family took action at this time and went to Jiangnan early to occupy a favorable position in Jinling. If it was too late, when the Duan family and the Zuo family began to take action, they might be more passive. Su Xinghai gritted his teeth, but it was difficult to make up his mind after all! And at this moment, Su Zhi came over.

I haven't seen Su Zhi for several months. He became much haggard. When I saw Lu Zheng, his eyes regained their spirits. He gave Lu Zheng a proper gift and said, "Su Zhi thanked Lord Lu for help. If it weren't for the Lord pleading for me, I would be really hard to see the light of day!"

Lu Zheng stared at him and gave Su Xinghai a wink. Su Xinghai suddenly came to his senses. He raised his hand gently: "You all go down!"

The servants all went down, and Lu Zheng stared at Su Zhi and said, "Mr. Su, tell me the truth, how many soldiers and horses are there in King Qi's hands? Are they really defeated?"

Su Zhi's face changed drastically, and she suddenly stood up. Lu Zheng said, "The elite soldiers and horses in the hands of King Qi are still there, but you, Jinwu Guard, suffered a loss, and were all killed or injured, right?"

"I..." Su Zhi yelled and stomped his feet and said, "The King of Qi is very treacherous. He asked the Jinwu Guard to be the vanguard, saying that he was leading the army as the backbone. Who knew... He knew that once our Jinwu Guard and the Liaodong Army started fighting, he fled and disappeared.

How can I defeat the Liaodong Army in Shandong with 20,000 Jinwu Guards? The strength of the two sides is very different, I...I...I...I hate..."

Su Zhi was so excited that she couldn't help but beat her chest and stamped her feet. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "As it turns out, there is a tacit understanding between Long Lingxiu and Long Zhaorui!"

Lu Zheng said briskly: "Why don't you tell me about such an important thing? Even if you are imprisoned, you should tell me!

Also, you are a pioneer and have no other army around you. Are you a pig's brain? Do you really think Long Zhaorui has given you all the chance to make meritorious service and receive awards?"

Lu Zheng suddenly became angry and was very excited. Long Zhaorui's elite troops were still there, so the situation in Jiangnan would be even more complicated. This kid brought the soldiers to Jiangnan. Can he allow Jiangnan's Nanfu Army to develop?

Also, is it safe for Emperor Xinde to go to Jiangnan under this situation? If Long Zhaorui was evil and brave, if he really wanted to attack Emperor Xinde, Dakang would accelerate and slide into the out-of-control abyss...

There were countless thoughts in Lu Zheng's mind, and he suddenly felt like he was losing control. Dakang was in an unprecedented crisis. How could Lu Zheng alone support this towering tree?

Su Xinghai murmured from the side: "Son and daughter join forces to beat me, hey, there are all causes of evil. Smartness is just mistaken by intelligence. Dakang's situation is in danger!"

When Su Xinghai said this, Lu Zheng also shook his head. He remembered the emperor's mental skills of Emperor Xinde. The drama of the various philosophers fighting for the throne used by Emperor Xinde has now completely collapsed.

The sons fought for the throne, and these sons were not simple, and even the daughter Long Lingxiu was not simple. Emperor Xinde thought of letting his sons fight inwardly, but as a result, his children had a tacit understanding in private and even joined forces to stab Dakang's country. Emperor Xinde was smart for a lifetime, but now he had to bear such a bitter fruit.

For Lu Zheng, he must consider the matters in Jiangnan now, and now he has to consider how to deal with the matters of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. What should he do if he has only less than 60,000 military horses in his hands?

"General Su, I won't say anything extra! Your Majesty asked me to be the chief general of the marching of the two rivers. Tomorrow you will be the central general of the chief general of the camp! I will give you 15,000 people from the Yulin Army. Let's add 40,000 government soldiers and 50,000 soldiers and horses to weave..."

Su Zhi said: "Mr. Lu, Su Zhi's defeated general, why dare to take such an important task again? I really don't dare to take it!"

"Rareless!" Su Xinghai was furious and said, "Useless thing, Lord Lu valued you so much, you dare to make such ignorant words!"

Su Xinghai clasped his fists and said to Lu Zheng: "Don't worry, Lord Lu, Su Zhi will definitely atone for his merits and do his job well! As a minister of Dakang, my Su family will definitely be heartbroken to serve Dakang and Your Majesty!"

Su Xinghai took over everything and took on everything. Lu Zheng smiled knowingly and thought that it was indeed an old fox! At this time, everyone knew the importance of having soldiers in their hands. Su Zhi and Lu Zheng were able to lead a army, which was definitely a great guarantee for the Su family. Su Xinghai saw this very clearly. Relatively speaking, Su Zhi was really too young, and his scheming was far from the older generation.

Lu Zheng's camp was being built in full swing, and Lu Zheng took all the resources that the court could provide. Lu Zheng had to obtain the resources that the court could not provide.

At this time, the capital was already in panic. Emperor Xinde's plan to tour Jiangnan was implemented. There were 300 large ships of various supplies, and almost all the palace was moved to Jiangnan.

The palace was empty and the people's hearts were dispersed. Who still cares about Lu Zheng at this time? The Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War, Lu Zheng and Zhao Chongqian joined hands to transport 200,000 sets of armor, 100,000 pieces of pure knives, spears, and other supplies from the Arsenal Division. For this reason, Lu Zheng gave Zhao Chongqian another 200,000 taels.

On Cao Weiming's side, the Ministry of Revenue collected 2 million taels of silver for Lu Zheng to fight against the thieves, while Lu Zheng gave Cao Weiming a kickback of 400,000 taels.

Lu Zheng urgently used a canal ship to transport the materials he received to the south, which were the most important materials to prepare for the Jiangnan Nanfu Army.
