Chapter 713 How to choose?
After Long Zhaohuan went down to Jiangnan, no one in the capital could restrain Lu Zheng anymore. Lu Zheng completely held the military and political power in the northern part.
It's also funny. According to normal logic, the northern region is now very vast, not only including the capital and the river road, but also the two rivers. It should be a matter of being able to control such a large world and have millions of people.
However, Song Wensong, who was the first to take control of the northern region, took the lead in going south and handed over the power in his hand to the prince Long Zhaohuan. This action shocked the world.
Long Zhaohuan had not had much time to hold power in the north, so he himself went south and handed over the power in his hand to Lu Zheng. In this way, Lu Zheng became the chief supervisor of Pingjing Road and the general left behind in the capital. Dakang's capital is now completely empty. Not only is there no one in the palace, but there is no one in the East Palace.
Lu Zheng guarded the capital and controlled the northern part. He was entrusted with important tasks at a young age. However, such important tasks made countless people sweat for him. The road that Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan dared not walk was now in front of him.
Monk Daojin went to Guiyin Temple again. Lu Zheng returned to Guiyin Temple today and climbed the mountain. Nie Xiaonu accompanied him, and there was a boy next to him. There was no one else except that!
The boy was reporting on the incident in the Two Rivers. Liu Song in Yuzhou was in good condition. Liu Song was good at training troops and was screaming in the cavalry. At the critical moment, Lu Zheng only needed an order, and Liu Song could immediately give up Yuzhou to support the capital!
Without Long Zhaohuan's existence, Lu Zheng and Liu Song did not need to worry about anyone at all. At the critical moment, Yuzhou became the key place where Lu Zheng could retreat!
"Young Master, according to Liu Song's meaning, the two rivers are definitely not a solid piece of iron! The two rivers were once the Zhao family and the Cao family joined hands, but Cao Weiming took advantage of his opportunity to return to the two rivers to make the Zhao family become a scapegoat, and then he became king himself and forced the Zhao family to surrender, which was equivalent to tied the Zhao family to his chariot!
Under such circumstances, if he could make things bigger and stronger, he would naturally be safe and sound, but the reality was not the case! Now Cao Weiming was beaten homeless by Liu Song, and he had to steal the capital. Bianzhou was originally the territory of the Zhao family, and Cao Weiming showed off his power in Bianzhou. The Zhao family has been suffering for a long time!
More importantly, Cao Weiming, the King of Hejian, is now very embarrassed. All he sees from all directions are stronger than him. He occupied Bianzhou and had almost no ability to pose a threat to the surrounding forces. In this case, Cao Weiming must have another way out!" The boy talked happily.
Lu Zheng said: "Cao Weiming colluded with Longyou, maybe this is what he wanted to get out of the way. Longyou is now in the Dagan Dynasty. Just Long Zhaoyan needs to enthrone him. Cao Weiming can naturally become a prince of the Dagan Dynasty. So the key is to fight Bingzhou, or whether we can defend the northern part of us!"
The boy said, "Young Master is right, but we can also make other ideas at this time, that is, let the Bianzhou split first and start to be in chaos. Cao Weiming has no time to take care of Yuzhou, so Liu Song can take the opportunity to escape! There are thousands of miles between Bingzhou and the capital. There are many dangerous places for this thousand miles of country. If the young master can have 50,000 elite troops to help, he will mobilize the 50,000 Southern Prefecture Army and find a way to deal with the Northwest Army, and may not necessarily have no defense power!"
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Give up Yuzhou or running Yuzhou is a big problem for me. Giving up Yuzhou is a big deal. I used more than 50,000 Jiangnan troops to deal with the Northwest Army. There are really huge variables in the victory or defeat in this, which is not conducive to me!"
The boy pursed his lips and said nothing. At this time, he could not say anything. Lu Zheng had absolute decision-making power in making major events and strategic decisions. What the boy can do now is to go all out to search for more resources for Lu Zheng.
Guiyin Temple, the temple has very little incense and looks a bit dilapidated and declining. The monk's meditation room was extremely simple, with only one cushion.
Lu Zheng said: "Master, you are becoming more and more transcendent than the world now. I let you live in the capital and you don't want to come to Guiyin Temple! The dilapidation here is shocking, and you are wronged!"
He said lightly: "Although Guiyin Temple is broken, but no matter how the wind and clouds change, it is a place outside. Although the capital is prosperous, once there is wind and rain, it will be difficult to escape the disaster. Although I am a monk, I don't want to become a prisoner of others. Therefore, Guiyin Temple is very good!"
Lu Zheng said: "Master, now I have two strategies in my hands, and I don't know how to make a decision. One strategy is to manage Yuzhou and use the absolute control of the Southern Prefecture Army to ensure the stability of Yuzhou. If the matter in the capital is not comprehensive, I can retreat to Yuzhou and keep it unbeaten for the time being!
Another strategy is to give up Yuzhou and take advantage of the internal conflicts between the Cao family and the Zhao family to allow internal friction in Bianzhou. I took the opportunity to mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 southern prefecture troops to deal with Song Naifeng from Bingzhou to the front line of the capital. With this, I will do my best to defend the northern part and defend the capital without losing it!"
The monk Daojin smiled and said, "Two strategies, do you think you still have two strategies? I think if you want to keep your integrity, you should have stayed in Jiangnan and lived in Jiangnan. With family forces and more than 100,000 Nanfu Army in your hands, that is, Wanquan.
You choose to come to Beidi and accept the messy stall in Beidi that even Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan have given up one after another. What you hold is a bad card in your hand. At this time, you have to protect yourself and ensure that you are foolproof. Isn’t that funny to prepare yourself for a retreat from Yuzhou?"
Nie Xiaonu listened to the monk saying this and hurriedly said, "Master, as the saying goes, staying green mountains will not worry about burning firewood! Now that Bingzhou has been surrounded, the chances of tens of thousands of troops in Bingzhou can break through are very slim. Moreover, with Song Naifeng's character, he will definitely attack Bingzhou to shock other Northwest troops under Song Wensong, so the result of this battle will inevitably be very tragic!
There is no suspense about the loss of Bingzhou. At that time, there will be a wail in the north. Song Naifeng's soldiers are like wolves and tigers, advancing south. No matter how powerful Lu Zheng is, how long can he deal with him with 50,000 troops? Master believes that it is useless to manage Yuzhou. Once the capital is lost, will Lu Zheng also take a canal boat south and flee back to Jiangnan?"
The monk Daojin frowned and said lightly: "How many big things do you know about such a girl? Don't say anything about this!"
Nie Xiaonu pouted and stepped back, looking depressed, Lu Zheng also pursed his lips and fell into silence. He never expected that monk Daojin had such a concept. He thought that the opinions he had told would be in Yuzhou...
Lu Zheng was completely unsure of this gamble when he gave up Yuzhou! The reason why he thought of this strategy was because he intuitively believed that if he wanted to turn the world and truly make the Northland a great world, he would never act according to the rules. If he retreated to Yuzhou, he would basically give up resistance, and the barriers to Jiangnan would still be lost, which was contrary to his original intention before he came.
Why can't Dakang give up the North? It's because once the North is given up and the capital is given up, Jiangnan will become an isolated island. When Dakang can only retreat to Jiangnan, can the rebels in the world tolerate Dakang's defeated generals defend the richest and most valuable Feng Shui treasure land in the world? The answer is obviously no!
Lu Zheng's mind was full of imagination and his thoughts were flying. To be honest, he was really hesitant and confused now! The monk said, "I am not a lucky person. Any master I follow will not be very smooth! Look at Long Zhaoyan, then look at Long Zhaohuan. Now you, Lu Zheng, are going to experience difficulties again!
But if you come to this point, let’s look at it from a different perspective. If there are all things in the world, how simple is this world!
From now on, there will be no change of regimes in the world, nor will there be any increase or decrease of power. The world will always be peaceful, so where will there be disputes?
The situation is very obvious now. You have no way out. Do you still want to manage Yuzhou and leave yourself a way out? If you leave a way out, you will definitely lose, and the North will be ruined in your hands!"
Lu Zheng said speechlessly, saying, "When you retreated to Yuzhou and lost the northern land, can you still go back to Jiangnan? When you left Jiangnan, you exchanged with Song Wensong. When you had lost your reputation, is Jiangnan still the current Jiangnan?
Your strength is strong, others respect you. Once you are in trouble or defeat, others will definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Jiangnan has been controlled by Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan. The Lu family, Chen family, and Gu family are divided again. Do you have a chance to make a comeback again?"
Monk Daojin's words suddenly became sharp. Lu Zheng heard it and sweated coldly on his forehead. His previous contact with Daojin was always polite. The two rarely blushed, and there was no time when Monk Daojin was so excited. Today Lu Zheng saw the passion of the old monk.
Lu Zheng said with great ashamed: "The master's words made me suddenly realize. After thinking about it, I felt that I was still too cautious and hesitant!"
Monk Daojin shook his head and said, "It's not that you are cautious and hesitant, but that you are not good at martial arts. Facing such a powerful and difficult opponent like Song Naifeng, you lack the courage to challenge him! Yes, Song Naifeng has such a big name. How can the iron cavalry in his hand be used as the most powerful general in the Great Kang Dynasty?
But Lu Zheng, if you dare to go from Jiangnan to the north, you don’t think you will be a mediocre minister in the future. I know that you have ambitions and great ambitions!
Ambitious people must understand where their shortcomings lies. Now you are facing your shortcomings. Do you have to compete for power in troubled times? Can you rely on poetry and songs to empower?
Only by knowing how to rank and close the line and only by holding a strong soldier in your hands can you have a future and a future. If you dare not fight with Song Naifeng today, you will definitely lose it. Look at this world, who else besides Song Naifeng?
