Lu Xinger was stunned and then said disdainfully: "What if there is a hundred thousand? These idiots are all useless guys. As long as I work together, I am afraid that they will not succeed!"

Wang Xian sneered: "Then Brother Lu, let's try it. When you conquer Jinling City, everything is fine! I said that Brother Lu, you have only fought a few small battles and were a little proud. I didn't know that this battlefield is dangerous, life and death, and you can't make a decision based on your imagination. If you are just a little victory, your head will be defeated not far from defeat!"

Lu Xing'er was a little angry, but then Zhan Yan said, "What Brother Wang said is that I am indeed a little overbearing, but even so, our brothers will kill corrupt officials and divide the granary and cloth to let the people surrender. In this way, even if Jiangning Mansion has heavy troops to guard and take them down, it will not be difficult."

Wang Xian took a breath and said, "But have you considered how much damage this will be and what consequences it will cause?"

He said slowly: "Even if you take down the power of the Ming Cult in Jinling City, it will damage countless times. You also said that Jiangning Prefecture is the most important part of Jiangnan and the most prosperous place in Jiangnan. If you occupy Jiangnan, the court will inevitably panic and immediately dispatch a large army to go south. Can you deal with the 50,000 wing army or 500,000 imperial guards?"

Lu Xing'er hesitated for a moment and then sighed, "Brother Wang tell you the truth. We have finished discussing it now. Everyone is preparing to wait for the opportunity. This Jiangning Mansion is really important. As long as we take it down, we can gain strength and fight in Jiangnan."

Wang Xian nodded and said, "You said it well. It is indeed extremely important to have a good rear. You don't want to be a bandit. I can understand it. But you should also recognize the current situation. Although there are smoke from all walks of life, the influence of the weak power is not as important as imagined. The most urgent task is to integrate your strength and slowly stabilize it. When you have the ability to swallow Jiangning Mansion, what can stop you from entering this Jinling City?"

"Brother Wang, I know what you said is a little bit of truth, but now it is not what I can do." Lu Xing'er said, "I am just a group of people in Huzhou's uprising. They have already discussed that I can't change their ideas even if I fight to the death."

"Where is Master Lu?" Wang Xian said with some surprise: "Did Master Lu contact you?"

Lu Xing'er smiled calmly and said, "The Holy King is in Xianju. He has no contact with us yet. Even if the Holy King comes, it is useless. Those people no longer take the Holy King seriously."

Wang Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Lu, you can take this opportunity to integrate the leaders and turn these fine sand into piles of sand so that they can improve."

Lu Xinger was stunned and then thought for a while before saying helplessly: "There are some difficulties. There are eight leaders together. Among them, Chen Shiyi and Li Tian are both in the same place. There are many people. Chen Shiyi is also extremely insidious. There are also Wang Lang. The two brothers of Wang Ban are also extremely difficult for me. Currently, I have only more than 300 people in Huzhou. I can't compete with them at all."

Wang Xian shook his head and said, "If you don't want to think about it, then you will naturally have no choice but as long as you have an idea in your heart, it may not be impossible to achieve it."

"At present, everyone has just been revived for a while and their identities are still undetermined and their strength is relatively weak. If you act as the general and control power earlier, you can avoid the slaughter of each other in the future. It is not a bad thing for everyone." Wang Xian said slowly and analyzed: "And all this depends on yourself."

Lu Xinger looked at her for a while and said, "Brother Wang, I thought of a solution or maybe it would work."

"Oh? What's the solution?" Wang Xian asked curiously.

Lu Xinger said slowly: "This method requires you to cooperate with me and everyone to make an appointment as long as anyone who conquers Jinling first. If you are willing to cooperate with one or two, naturally, I can integrate these people at that time."

"What's the point!" Wang Xian opened his mouth but just said, "Brother Lu, how do you think I can help you?"

Lu Xinger smiled and said, "Actually, if you just need to cooperate slightly, you should understand."

"But although I am the prefect, others don't listen to me. You will know what happened to me today." Wang Xian said helplessly: "What's more, the generals of the Song Dynasty have never listened to others. I'm even more unlikely to mobilize them."

Lu Xing'er said disdainfully: "Brother Wang, if someone is dissatisfied with you, I can help you get rid of it secretly, don't worry. Right, I want to ask you how to deal with those officials from the court?"

Wang Xian thought about it and then said, "They don't matter. Did you catch him by the 20,000 elite soldiers in charge of Jiangning?"

"Commander Zhu?" Lu Xing'er said in a daze: "Is it the man in armor? He put down his weapons at the beginning and took their people away."

Wang Xian said in shock: "You actually asked them to leave! If he brought his troops to surround the place, we will all be finished!"

"Brother Wang, don't be so panicked." Lu Xing'er smiled slightly and said, "I think that Commander Zhu is an honest man, and he doesn't care about the lives of those officials, obviously he doesn't want to cause trouble. I don't think he will come again."

"How is that possible?" Wang Xian said quickly: "Brother Lu, the Ming Cult, has a secret passage here, let's go to the secret passage to speak."

Lu Xinger thought about it and nodded, "It's good, but I actually have nothing to say, Brother Wang, now that everything I should say has been finished, I have to go back and prepare for one or two. I think you want it to be useless, so I will give it to me all."

Wang Xian pondered for a moment before saying, "That Lu Suo is handed over to me for processing."

Lu Xinger laughed and said, "Yes."

He stood up and shouted a few times to the front yard, and then saw several people pushing Buchu and others walk in. Buchu, Minghong and others are tied up and look like rice dumplings. At this time, when he sees Wang Xian, he screams.

"Huh? Is that all?" Wang Xian said with some surprise: "Where is Lu Shou?"

Lu Xinger said inexplicably: "Isn't there here?"

He shouted, "Who are you Lu Shou?"

Bu Chu, Minghong and others looked at each other and thought of this problem Lu Shou disappeared.

Wang Xian frowned and then said, "I don't know where this Lu has been received. This is how Brother Lu, just take all these people away, but I don't want them to run away."

"Haha, I'll pay attention." Lu Xing'er smiled slightly and waved her hand: "Take these people away!"

They came and went quickly and disappeared soon after.

The empty wind in the yard shook the branches and rustled a few times. What happened just now was like a dream, and everyone on the lanai became quiet and no one spoke.

It was not until a long time since Wang Xiancai said: "Lu Zhong, you take someone to find Commander Li and say I am in danger and ask him to bring his troops here!"

Lu Zhong immediately responded and was about to leave but heard a voice saying, "Slow down!"

"What's wrong?" Wang Xian looked at Hong Ya beside him with a little strange look.

"What are you going to bring troops here?" Hong Ya frowned and said, "If it were for that Commander Zhu, there would be no need for him to come back."

Wang Xian turned around and said to Lu Zhong when he heard this, "Then don't call Commander Li."

He stood up and sighed and said to Lu Zhong: "The facts today are surprising to me. Now the Ming Cult riots are nothing, but they are not peaceful. You are all in Jiangning. Naturally, they don't want this place to become a battlefield. Once the beacon fire starts, it will inevitably make the people of Jinling feel unhappy. Therefore, peace is the priority."

Lu Zhong immediately nodded and said, "I understand!"

Wang Xian looked at Hong Ya at this time and said, "Lu Zhong, go and explain to the frightened servants and say that it was because the thief came in and was caught by General Zhu Shen, who led his troops."

Lu Zhong nodded and said yes and took the people away.

Wang Xian looked at Hong Ya and said, "Do you know that General Zhu Shen?"

"He is my senior brother." Hong Ya said in a deep voice: "He won't harm you."

"He is your senior brother?" Wang Xian said incredible: "What are your identities and why are they so mysterious?"

"You will know naturally then." Hong Ya said slowly: "Miss Yuyan and the girl named Zhou Bing are indeed a bit unsafe here. I want to send them to my uncle's place where Leng Xiang and the others can take care of them."

Wang Xian nodded and said, "It's good that I will tell Yu Yan."

He thought for a while and said, "But now I really have to think about it carefully. Miss Hong, I want to see your senior brother, can you help me find him?"

Hong Ya said in a deep voice: "Just tell your master about this matter. Master, he values ​​you so much and will definitely ask your senior brother to help you."

Wang Xian immediately let out a sigh of relief, he seemed to be no longer concerned about the identities of Hong Ya and Hong Dinghai. When he heard that General Zhu Shen was Hong Ya's senior brother, he was just slightly surprised and more happy that he was more happy if there was such a relationship, he could use General Zhu Shen's soldiers to stabilize the situation in Jiangning Mansion.

But the situation is no longer as stable as I imagined. The court has not yet taken seriously Jiangnan yet. The Ming Cult is still vigorously rebelling. Although there is no large-scale war, as long as it takes a long time, it will inevitably bring bloody storms and wars everywhere in Jiangnan.

And this is something that no one can change.

All Wang Xian can do now is to avoid huge losses as much as possible in the chaos. He can only do his best to make Jiang Ning stable.

After August, autumn was rushing to the face, but the murderous aura of the entire Jiangnan was even stronger. Because the court did not appease it in time, it caused all kinds of wars to spread, especially in eastern Zhejiang. This place was the most severe typhoon and the most oppressed place. The people were dissatisfied and believed in the Ming Cult. Therefore, the Ming Cult's uprising soon won the hearts of the people. All counties and villages responded. The army was led by the Saint King of the Ming Cult. In one month, 50,000 soldiers were integrated, which made the prefectures and counties in Jiangnan panic and wrote to the court. More and more people were panicked.

On August 18th, the court finally started to quarrel over this matter. Cai Jing had obtained Wang Xian's book before. Jian knew that this matter was caused by the Ming Cult, and could not be left alone. So he directly suggested that the army be transferred south while the Ming Cult was not yet in a state of crisis. However, he did not expect that this was opposed by the censors. Several old ministers in the court also quoted the story of Li Shimin of the former Tang Dynasty and said that this matter was not the fault of the people but the failure of the government. As long as the rulers were dismissed, the people would naturally surrender.

Their spearhead was naturally the administrative affairs Cai Jing, so he started to argue in the court as he spoke. It was not until three days later that Emperor Zhao Ji was really tired of it that he compromised and implemented the Qingmiao first. Baojia's method of eliminating traitors was also ordered to evacuate the general Zhong Shidao from the border and lead 100,000 soldiers to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan.

However, there were many people in Zhong Shidao. The court had a lot of restrained views. Wang En was extremely disagreeable. After receiving the order, they began to argue about the march route and then they did not discuss until five days later.

Then there was the matter of food and grass. Tong Guan was in charge of the Privy Council and the Northwest military, so Zhong Shidao had to ask Tong Guan to get his help. This took several days to be considered a slow marching.

But until then, no one thought that the chaos in Jiangnan was no longer as they imagined. This chaos was no longer solved with a little deterrence.

On October 18th, although Lu Shinang led his army to attack Xiuzhou, although he failed, the prefectures and counties in Jiangnan were scared to death. Some officials even packed up their things and prepared to escape overnight.

On the first day of November, Chen Shiyi won the victory with 5,000 people against the enemy's official army and captured 3,000 soldiers. At that time, the people were famous in Jiangnan wherever they passed, and all the people followed it to Jiangnan East Road.

On the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, Jiangnan turned cold and the imperial army finally arrived in Jiangnan. But they came here unfortunately. The cold winter season was no longer suitable for fighting, so they stationed on Jiangnan East Road.

But they did not expect that the rioters began to use guerrilla tactics at this time and kept using small forces to harass them. Although Zhong Shidao was a little angry, he knew that he could not attack, so he was always patient and not only the soldiers and generals were confused. Someone immediately reported to the court that Zhong Shidao was negligent in military affairs and kept avoiding the war and let the court change its generals.

The court argued endlessly about many issues, but the generals were very distrustful of the censors. The censors immediately began to report to the group that Zhong Shidao stationed troops in Jiangnan but did not kill each other, so that the disaster in Jiangnan became increasingly serious. The emperor immediately recruited him back to the capital to explain the reason for not being in the army.

Cai Jing also thought that Master Zhong was too useless, so he just discussed it for a while and then the emperor wrote to recruit Master Zhong back to Beijing and asked Wang En to lead the army temporarily.

This temporary general change made the army of the court feel a little surprised. Zhong Shidao had no choice but to tell Wang En to not take the initiative to start a war and then he took his personal army north to return to Bianjing.

But he didn't know that after leaving, Jiangnan was suddenly in chaos and made the Ming Cult pick up a huge advantage.

Although the people in Jinling City were a little worried when New Year's Eve, when this festival came, everyone still sorted out their houses and pasted peach charms to celebrate the year's vacation, and hoped not to encounter major disasters in the coming year.

The Qinhuai River has already grown thinly. It looks black. Several dead trees by the river are also standing there in a very desolate manner. From time to time, a few pedestrians are passing by with their heads shrunk and their clogs creaking and then returning to quiet.

There was a stove in this glazed room burning in the middle, making the whole room feel cold at all. At this time, the house was filled with people. The cold outside had no effect on them.

"You mean the sect is ready to attack Jinling City?" The old man in the middle said in a deep voice: "Wang Xian, are you sure this is true?"

Wang Xian sat next to the old man Hong Dinghai and nodded and responded: "That's true, I think the army led by Chen Shiyi and Lu Xinger will follow Jurong and Shangyuan counties to attack Jinling City."

"What are you going to do?" Hong Dinghai sighed and said, "These bastards are really ungrateful and have been thinking about Jinling City in just a few months."

Wang Xian smiled helplessly and said, "They thought it was earlier in August. Lu Xinger came to me and talked about their plan and said that they would take Jiangning and control Jiangnan. I was startled. Now they are stronger and have formed a momentum that echoes the east and eastern Zhejiang and Fujian. Naturally, they are thinking about Jinling."

"Hmph, there are 40,000 troops stationed in Jinling City. Haven't you considered these people?" Sitting next to Hong Dinghai was a man in his thirties, who was Hong Ya's senior brother, Zhu Suan, the left army general of Jiangning Mansion.

He and Wang Xian had a relationship with each other before, but since Hong Ya revealed his identity that time, Wang Xian took the initiative to find Hong Dinghai and then talked to Zhu Suan several times. Everyone knew that they were their own people, so they were no longer so restrained. Now, because of the rebellion in Jiangnan, Wang Xian came here with everyone to plan for the future.

"Not to mention that the 40,000 army is useless!" Hong Dinghai shook his head and said, "The imperial court is not to raise soldiers for war, but to relax the local soldiers. I have been to the school ground before and I have not seen a few people who can pull the big bow, let alone fight to fight. Although the soldiers of the Ming Cult are all farmers, there is no need to use the big sword to let these soldiers ask you to see the news coming from near Jiangnan. How many times did the officers and soldiers win? Last time, the 20,000 soldiers gathered in the east of Jiangnan, they were defeated by 5,000 people. I really can't count on them."

Wang Xian smiled and said, "Indeed, local troops are not for the sake of war. They are just intimidating the people. They are in Liuxian County, which is less than forty miles."
