The thing Leng Zhuo was most worried about was that the accurate news from the imperial capital was said by the head of the Nangong family. The imperial envoy sent this time was enough to make Leng Zhuo feel a headache. Because this person is not another family, it is the Beicheng family that has had a festival with Leng Zhuo.

Last year, in the imperial capital, Leng Zhuo made the second master of the Beicheng family, Beicheng, unable to come to Taiwan in public, but it hurt the face of the Beicheng family. As one of the four major families, although the Beicheng family's sphere of influence is in the north, the Beicheng family is also a large family with a rich background.

This time, the people from the Beicheng family served as the imperial envoy, which means that the New Emperor's control over the imperial capital was once again consolidated, and it was obvious that the successive victory in the Huai River in Qingzhou greatly consolidated the New Emperor's rule, although the New Emperor's sect did not have many places to control.

A few days ago, when Guo Jia conveyed the news to Leng Zhuo, Leng Zhuo left Yun County and returned to Nanping Cang and waited for the news. When the news arrived, Leng Zhuo's last bit of luck was gone. The three strategies he had to consider carefully.

However, it seems that the two of the three strategies are not desirable, because the impact of both direct and concealment is great. In most parts of Chuzhou and Yangzhou, Leng Zhuo put himself in the opposite side of the empire. Even if he can overthrow the empire's rule in Chuzhou, it will be detrimental to the subsequent expansion.

Besides, are there really many people willing to follow him to rebel? This question is very practical. Don’t look at the rich people gathering in the Xue Xue Valley now, but once he raises his flag to rebel, it is estimated that most of the people will disperse. The trade with Yangzhou will also be affected, and even the marriage with the Nangong family will fail.

Retreat to advance seems to be Leng Zhuo's only choice.

"Everyone is here, then let's go straight to the point. The imperial capital has sent detailed information. The imperial envoy is from the Beicheng family. There are many people. If you retreat to advance, you must face three problems!'

"First, how to protect rights and interests, second, how to guarantee military power, third, how to clean up the mess after the situation. If there is no conclusion on these three issues, retreating to advancing will only make us lose opportunities!"''

After getting the exact news, Leng Zhuo thought a lot, but one person had a short plan, three of them had a chief, and the group of advisers summoned by Leng Zhuo were all talented in governing the world.

The people here looked at each other and knew that the young master had made up his mind, and what was left was how to make the strategy of retreat to advance achieve the expected goal.

"According to the information sent back from Zhou, the Li Tang army had landed in many places in Guangling Prefecture with the help of the Tianhe Naval Division. The number of troops mobilized was no less than eight Zhe Chonglu's total strength was about 100,000. They were all the elite soldiers of Li Tang's. They were tested in a series of previous battles!'

"And on the battlefield in western Chu, the Holy Cult Army has gathered again and is in large-scale formation. Perhaps in just ten days and half a month, it will launch another offensive again!''

"In Jialin Prefecture in the southwest, the noble army provoked the two eastern counties occupied by us. The current situation is already dangerous, and Panlong City is also surrounded by north and south!''

"The rebellion in Nanlin Mansion is also showing a prairie fire, threatening our rear!"'

"And now, the Emperor**'s except for an unknown Mad Python Division stationed between the north of Xiyan Prefecture and Xiaoxiang Prefecture, the empire currently has only two Suzaku Divisions, two Mad Python Divisions, two Suzaku Divisions, and a Rock Legion with nearly one division of troops.''

"Only two of these mad python divisions have better preservation rates, and the two old python divisions stationed in the Zhuque Mansion lost 20% to 30% in the last battle. Although they made up for the number of people, their combat effectiveness dropped sharply, while the remaining units of the Rock Legion were mostly soldiers of the young master!"

"The local brigades that were reorganized in various prefectures at the time were more like time bombs! They were unreliable."''

Zhuge Liang did not directly answer Leng Zhuo’s questions, but instead told the battle reports summarized from various places one by one. Of course, this was not aimless.

"While taking a step back at this time, the young master can also adapt to the current situation, and the three questions raised by the young master can also be separated to deal with them!"

"The young master now has only one title of logistics transfer envoy for the counterattack army. After giving up, the young master will lose control of the baggage battalion, and its jurisdiction over many grain warehouses such as Nanping Warehouse, and will also lose the logistics that was previously consumed and controlled.''

"At present, the main body of the Chuzhou anti-rebellion army, the three major legions are actually incomplete. The Panshi Legion is almost inadequate and completely abandoned. The Crazy Python Legion is the best preserved, but it will soon face the threat of Li Tang. Although the remaining Zhuque Legion has been rebuilt, its strength has dropped significantly, so it is not very meaningful to control the logistics and control the anti-rebellion army!,'" However, in this process, we invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build many granaries.'

The baggage battalion could not give up like this. Fortunately, only part of the grain in many warehouses, such as Nanping Warehouse, is owned by the rebel army, and the rest is owned by the young master, so before that, we have to complete the transfer from the official warehouse to the private warehouse!’’ Through our door, we spent a lot of effort to store the food and supplies here. If we want to transfer, we will not pay much labor. We don’t have enough space to store it!

Leng Zhuo frowned. Food was one of the big sticks that Leng Zhuo waved, and it was also the top priority of the management some time ago. But things will always change faster than the plan. How could Leng Zhuo think that the ninth prince Situ Ming would forcibly enter the imperial capital? How could he predict that the four princes have their own troops and respected themselves, and that led to the split of the empire. He even unexpectedly, the Holy Church suddenly emerged and defeated the empire's army.

And this series of changes not only disrupted Leng Zhuo's deployment, but also completely lost the feasibility of the current plan. Now, the anti-revolutionary army is no longer there. The logistics system he has established is rootless duckweed, without foundation, and naturally he will starve. However, hoarding massive materials here has become the most troublesome problem.

'·This issue may be operated from a different perspective!' Liu Bowen interrupted,' Liu Bowen has always been responsible for expanding the Nanping Warehouse, hoarding materials and establishing a logistics system, and has established some personal relationships with the Jiang family, the nearby landlords and even some officials in the city.

"Oh!''Leng Zhuo turned his head and looked at Liu Bowen' and waited for the following text.

"Although the Nanping position belongs to the official warehouse, it has long been abandoned. Now, this development is all because of the young master's large investment, and the Nanping position has a new revival. Therefore, if the young master wants to take Nanping position into his arms, there is enough reason. As long as the Nanping position is changed from the official warehouse to the private warehouse, there is no need to vent the material corners!,'

Leng Zhuo nodded after hearing this, but raised his head and asked again: "It seems a bit difficult to turn Nanping into a private place!"

"The matter is done by others, and the Huang family and the Chen family may not stop this matter, but they still acquiesced. After all, the young master is too popular now. When he is willing to give in, the two families will definitely only think that the young master is planning for the future! This is also beneficial to them."

Leng Zhuo thought about it, and thought what Liu Bowen said made sense, "This matter will be left to you to handle. It must be settled before the imperial envoy arrives! The issue of food and food resources can be put aside. Then the logistics camp has been formed in the past six months, with more than 100 heavy camps, with more than 60,000 people. These are all new recruits we trained!',

'·New trick', the trained training of the short-term heavy camps were all released. This time, the more than 30 entries who followed the young master to fight in western Chu, and after the baggage battalion was replenished, it was directly transformed into the local guards of our Nanxing Prefecture. We had previously drawn a large number of troops from the local guards. Now we are transferring back. The Nanxing Prefecture is under the control of the young master. The officials, including the nobles, are on the same chariot as the young master, but they are trustworthy. If there are more, they will be left directly as guards! As long as they don't wear armor, they can be solved! If you want to ask, it can be said that they died in the country when fighting against the Holy Sect army!'

Pang Tong gave advice on the side, and Leng Zhuo nodded after hearing this, the steps solved the problem of the baggage camp.

"If everyone agrees, this is decided, and the next is the issue of the trade line. In this chaos in Chuzhou, production in various parts of Chuzhou has declined very seriously, and the market is also in chaos. The loss of western Chuzhou. If the northern part of Chuzhou is also in war, we are equivalent to breaking our arm and losing the Xiangshui River. Our business roads with the outside world have been completely cut off. The reason why Jinhe rose is because the two major production areas, Chuzhou and Yangzhou, are interconnected and whether there is any? Once the situation is not under our control, Jinhe will be greatly affected. Especially Li Tang in the north has begun to restore the Tianhe River transportation. Once there is improvement, this and the impact will be fatal to us!'

What is fighting in war? It’s not money? Leng Zhuo has the confidence to turn the world upside down in Chuzhou. What is it relying on? It’s not Jinhe’s powerful money-making ability. Once Jinhe falls silent because of the war, the large number of merchants gathered in the Blood-Crying Fort, the wealthy households who are gathering in the blood-Crying Fort are likely to be lost in large quantities. The seemingly many gold and silver reserves in the vault will be quickly extracted, and this is the most deadly thing.

The reason why Leng Zhuo took the lead on Chuxi's shoulders and under the unfavorable situation was that he used a weak brigade to fight the powerful Holy Church' with a strong momentum.

"Young Master's proposal, have the young master considered my previous proposal?'' Guo Jia was on the sidelines.

Leng Zhuo looked at Guo Jia, and suddenly remembered what Guo Jia had said to him a few days ago. Guo Jia's proposal was to agree with the top leaders of the Holy Church, because the Holy Church was not a simple peasant uprising army, but a force with the purpose of restoring the country, and this was also the basis for the cooperation between the two sides. There was no eternal enemy, only eternal interests.

The fight was made before because of interests and cooperation for the sake of interests. The Holy Church occupied Chuxi. It naturally needed to restore local stability, and at the same time, money was needed to maintain itself. After all, the gold and silver that were looted could not last long.

When the war closes a door, it will open a window. Once the two sides reach an agreement, Leng Zhuo's interests will not be damaged, but will be even more profitable. (To be continued.
