In fact, it’s not that Zhao Cheng is really willing to send his face to the countryside.

Even though he knew that this matter was impossible to be settled, it was Zhao Cheng who tested how firm Zhu Xiao’s attitude towards this matter was to judge the next situation.

Regarding the previous defeat in Xishan, the preliminary private judgment was that there were people from Wang Xiu in the government, or that Wang Xiu himself was someone from the government. Just like Bai Chenxiang was Zhao Cheng's glove.

Assuming this inference is correct, the next step is simple. Zhao Cheng deliberately came here and revealed very critical military information to Zhu Xiao.

If it is proven later that this information was used by Wang Xiu's bandit army, it will confirm a lot of things. At the same time, you can also use the tricks.

Before this, Zhao Cheng really didn't know how to fight the war later. In fact, it was useless to be anxious at this time. Just be patient and not make mistakes until the opportunity arises, then place a bet, and then solve the problems arising during the betting process.

This is actually the solution, applicable to all fields.

I believe it is the same for Wang Xiu. After Xishan failed and Fang La tribe in Muzhou failed, he didn't know how to find a breakthrough. So during this period, both sides were at peace until he heard the news provided by Zhu Xiao: Bai Chenxiang tribe was in urgent need of food.

Assuming that these inferences are correct, Wang Xiu will "wait for the opportunity" and start to enter the betting stage.

Just thinking about it, Zhao Cheng looked up at the sky while walking, which was even more gloomy than expected. A small amount of snowflakes had begun to fly. This was the first snow this year, and the first snow of the Cai Jing Daguan year...

The first snow had already caused the cold weather in Chizhou.

Zhang Shangying, who was already old and could not stand the cold, then turned on the curtain of the car, and a biting cold wind blew over her face, and there was no place in her body to feel comfortable.

"My husband, please put down the curtains. Chizhou has not arrived yet, so you can't stand the cold." The confidant entourage said hurriedly.

Zhang Shangying refused to listen and wrapped the bear skin tightly on her body. "I don't know the year and month since I passed by Chizhou last time. Nothing seems to have changed here, but it's the same. The people who are rooted in this fight each other, which makes it even more chaotic."

The followers didn't respond, thinking that they had already fought, and how could they not be confused when several people were playing here?

Zhang Shangying seemed to have memories of this place. He always looked at the wind and snow outside along the way. After a long time, he said, "During the reign of Emperor Zhezong, I was in Jiangning Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road, and was the closest time to Chizhou. In my memory, there were many bandits in Chizhou, but they were small and small, and the climate was not large. The ground was covered with copper, so I picked it up was money. Because the bandits were good wine, I remember most that I had to transport more wine from Jiangning Prefecture to Chizhou. On the way back, there were more materials in addition to the minerals, mountain goods, furs, etc.."

The subordinates didn't know what the old man was thinking, so they couldn't interfere.

Zhang Shangying himself knew the most about the troubles here, and he harmed the place because of the word "money".

Today, Chizhou bandits have been scaled and concentrated, and it will be difficult to deal with them thoroughly. This is actually a big deal. Anyone who wants to solve this matter only sees money.

Simply put, Zhang Shuye wants to include the copper mine here in the Ministry of Revenue asset form to solve the increasingly serious financial dilemma.

The bandits or the Yingfeng Bureau Group want to maintain the status quo. Once the status quo is maintained, it means that these copper ores that are still producing continuously have become their assets and wealth. This is called humans dying for money and birds dying for food.

That's it, and the war in Chizhou suddenly started.

Zhang Shangying felt that this group of people was unreasonable. They loved money so much that they didn't study or practice calligraphy for this matter, regardless of morality or reputation. They only knew how to dig out the ore endlessly, leaving holes after holes on the earth, looking at the eyes full of sores.

The ore is refined into copper to buy the materials you want, but most of them will be stored in the cellar and moldy, just as a spiritual enjoyment.

"Just for these illusory things, countless idiots have gathered together in Chizhou to tear each other, and now I am here..."

After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Shangying laughed at herself in the coldness.

Gradually approaching Chizhou City, I saw clusters of refugees concentrated in the heavy snow in the cold winter, and the situation was worse than I thought.

Zhang Shangying couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart, which means that if these idiots cannot decide the outcome in the short term, then whether in politics or people's livelihood, the state will pay an unimaginable price in this special period, and Chizhou will really be in a slump!

As a great scholar of the times, Zhang Shangying was not very familiar with war and was also very disgusted with war. Although he was old now, he felt that he was not slow to react. In this situation, Zhang Shangying believed that this situation was caused by their faction because they were indifferent to people's livelihood. Including the cruel official Zhang Shuye, they just wanted to get what they thought of, and they all sacrificed other things, and they all thought they were right.

If you feel that you are right, you will most likely not be able to sit down and talk.

"Can I really solve the Chizhou problem and save the people of Chizhou from water and fire?"

Thinking of these things, Zhang Shangying murmured with emotion.

Outside the city, Zhang Shangying also saw a group of unruly soldiers who were even worse than refugees shouting strange "one, two, one" training.

Looking at such an army and only three battalions, Zhang Shangying had the urge to turn around and leave Chizhou immediately. It is really irritating to imagine that this is Chizhou’s current support. It is irritating to imagine that the madman Zhao Cheng led such a final family background, threatening to fight with Wang Xiu, and threatening to win the war in the end.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, after being bewitched by Zhang Ji, the cruel official Zhang Shuye believed it and wanted to kill these bandits and steal every piece of copper ore from the land of Chizhou. For this reason, some people have already knocked out the dog's brain in the temple.

The current situation is already very unfavorable to Zhao Cheng, because there was a crushing defeat in the Xishan Battle. Later, Zhao Cheng failed to make any achievements and failed to turn defeat into victory. On the contrary, this scholar who spoke wildly suffered a defeat in Lingyang Mountain's "command error" and mobilized tens of thousands of people to bewitch him, "I don't care about my merits and demerits, but this should not affect the mission of others."

Damn it’s such a ignorant sentence, so crazy brainwashing and pushing the pot!

This is Zhang Shangying's conclusion.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Zhang Shangying doesn't believe it. But Zhang Shuye believed it, and that old Zhang was already ruined, and his gun-baring thinking reached an extreme, covering up people's livelihood interests and actual situation.
