After hearing about the incident on Hebei East Road, some strange ideas popped up in Tang Ning's head.

For this country to be better, it doesn't take one victory, or a hundred, to make it better.

Trees with rotten rhizomes can no longer absorb nutrients from the soil. The best way to do this is to dig up this tree and plant another tree in the pit.

Shaking his head, Tang Ning shook off all the messy thoughts in his head.

He couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it. Anyway, this is also Zhao Xu's legacy. It is impossible for him to get his hands on the inheritance of his good brother.

But this time, I didn't bear any other pressure. What to do, it was decided three years ago. The road has been paved, and I just need to follow this road.

If there is no accident, when he recovers the sixteen states of Yanyun, he will completely resign from the official as expected, and then hide in a corner where no one can find him, and live a happy and stable life with his wife and children.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning closed his eyes, and began to fantasize about his ideal life in his mind.

Yes, even if the crown of this tree rots, it's none of its business. I was a leaf that accidentally floated from another tree, and when the wind blew, I was about to fall to the ground, so why bother with this tree?

As long as you live well, isn't it enough for your family to live well? I should have fallen from this tree a long time ago.

Tang Ning thought of the pear tree in his yard again, Master and Liu Ling had told themselves before, this tree is here, and the layout is not very good.

This was a 'sleepy' word, but Tang Ning didn't think much about it at the time.

I didn't expect that I was really trapped, and I was trapped by Zhao Xu's agreement and my master's words, and I haven't been able to break free until now.

If you want to be free, you can only wait until you recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, or you die on the way to recover Yanyun.

However, Downing felt that the possibility of the latter was very small, and to ask why, this was the most confident battle he had in so many years.

Some people even Tang Ning have to admire, this person is Liu Ling.

He was a spy for decades, and his instincts were as accurate as the numbers a computer could calculate.

That's right, the infighting of the rebels was indeed manipulated by Tang Ning behind his back.

Back then, the Zhiliu monk came to negotiate peace with Tang Ning on behalf of the White Lotus Society, and Tang Ning thought that the Zhiliu monk had come in person, so he should at least give him this face, so he agreed to the Zhiliu monk.

Monk Zhiliu lived in Tangning's house for seven days, except for the first day because of the Chinese New Year, the two were unable to talk, and for the remaining six days, the two talked every day.

Specific

Downing didn't want to think about it. But about the matter of the rebels, the two reached an agreement.

The White Lotus Society was willing to provide financial support to the rebels who had revolted, and the Zhiliu monk promised to provide Tang Ning with information, and promised to let Tang Ning and Fang La communicate unknowingly under the nose of Wu Desi.

Even Tang Ning was a little moved by such conditions, but he knew that pies would not fall from the sky, and there was no free lunch in the world, so he wanted to know what the conditions of the White Lotus Society were.

However, the Zhiliu monk did not give an answer to this question, and just said like a striker, and he would know when the time came.

At that time, Tang Ning refused because the purpose of the Zhiliu monk was too unclear, and he was afraid that this was a trick set by the Zhiliu monk.

However, it wasn't until the day Master died that Tang Ning's mentality changed directly.

Zhou Huai's sentence 'If you promise someone else's thing, you will do it', gave birth to Tang Ning's idea of recovering Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures by unscrupulous means, and because of Zhou Huai's death, Tang Ning's idea became even more unswerving.

Soon after that, he took the initiative to find the Zhiliu monk.

The Zhiliu monk was still so easy to speak, the two sides hit it off, and Tang Ning remotely commanded Fang La to plan the development of the rebel army, and arranged an infighting in the later stage.

During this period, Tang Ning's expectation for the righteous army was to be able to become the main force to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in the future, which was equivalent to a weakened version of the Zhenguo army.

All kinds of workshops, such as gunpowder workshops and ordnance workshops, were set up with the support of the White Lotus Society. Therefore, on the day when the rebel army broke out in internal strife, the remaining rebel army quickly fled into Qingdao and Mizhou.

For the next three years, the rebels continued to train. Practicing in winter and dogs in summer, all year round, there has never been a break.

Fang La successfully trained this army, which was also the reason why Tang Ning threatened Liu Ling with no longer leading troops, and also recruited these rebels.

Originally, these people were trained by themselves, and now it is time for them to come in handy. In addition, the White Lotus Society has also paid a lot over the years, and the three general cannons in the Zhenguo Army have been troubled by Zhao Ji.

But the White Lotus Society produced six more doors and delivered them to Tang Ning.

Liang Zhen is also still serving in the army, and with these, Tang Ning is very confident.

With an army of 200,000, plus these gunpowder and artillery, it is not impossible to recover Yanyun and let him fight to the old nest of Wanyan Agu in one go.

However, Tang Ning was definitely unwilling to do this, he only had one thing on his mind, which was to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

As long as this goal is achieved, he doesn't care what happens. Even if Liu Ling found evidence and caught himself fornicating with the White Lotus Society, he didn't care.

Because at that time, he must not
