Although Zhang Heizi rebelled, he rebelled as scheduled in Liu Xing's plan.

So as Su Quan said, Liu Xing actually used his ambition and **** heart that refused to admit defeat and was unwilling to condescend to others turned him into a pawn on the chessboard of the Great Song Dynasty advancing into the Western Regions.

Now that there is a pawn crossing the river, and Su Quan has made the first shot to force that pawn to continue to obey, then the other chess pieces on the chessboard are naturally necessary.

What are the other pieces? Just after Su Quan got up and left, the seed master who had just returned from Wutai Mountain walked into the conference living room on Liu Xing's mansion with Zong Ying, who had also just returned triumphantly from Ningxia with the Shenji Battalion.

"Tell the Taifu, Zhong Xiangcai ordered the removal of the original officials there when he arrived in Xipingzhou, and replaced the Zhizhou, the patrol envoy, the regimental training envoy, and the recruitment envoy with his henchmen." Zong Ying's body was only able to stand firm, and he immediately reported to Liu Xing that the Military Intelligence Department had obtained information from Guangxi.

He opened his mouth for half a sentence, paused slightly, seemed to think for a while, and then continued: "He also replaced all the officials of the state capitals such as Lian, Yong, Heng, and Zuo, and replaced them with their henchmen. And it has not been reported in Lianzhou, and it has been privately funded by the water division. ”

Zhang Yang is a pawn who crossed the river, and went to the Western Regions to arch a new world. Zhong Xiang is another pawn on the chessboard, yes, although he has many soldiers and generals are better than Zhang Yang, but in this game of chess that Liu Xing is playing, he is just a pawn who wants to open a new road for the Great Song Dynasty to the southeast.

In his heart, he was defined as another pawn who crossed the river, and he could still be a private water master, which surprised Liu Xing.

However, this kind of accident was accompanied by a second thought, and Liu Xing quickly smiled slightly: "Starting from Dongting and Poyang's Zhong Xiang, it should be very easy to start a water master." Let him go, all the court will be hidden by him. As long as he can go south as we expected, and give the land of Annan to the master, I will take it. I play with him. ”

"Okay, do you really think that even if Zhong Xiang's thief goes to Annan, he will not become a strong enemy of me in the future?" Seeing that Liu Xing said such a thing calmly, the seed master immediately raised his question.

After the question, he continued: "Zhang Heizi is just too ambitious and unwilling to surrender to others, but in the final analysis, he is with you to kill the bloody road and your old brother from Taiyuan City. With his temperament. As long as he has a foothold in the Western Regions, he will definitely not take the initiative to declare war on our Great Song Dynasty and come to attack in the future. ”

After pausing again, the seed master continued to say: "But Zhong Xiang is not Zhang Heizi, he has no affection for you and my courtiers at all. More importantly, deep down in his heart, he is a person who opposes the official family and has a firm rebellious heart against my Great Song Dynasty. Once such a person really establishes a foundation in Annan, I am really afraid that Guangxi will not have a peaceful day in the future! ”

Hearing his worries, Liu Xing smiled indifferently again: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, hehe." As long as he leaves Guangxi, I have a plan to make him never dare to return to Guangxi. ”

That's it. Liu Xing's words stopped slightly, and he immediately turned his head to Zong Ying and said: "Zong Deputy Envoy, immediately activate Ying Yang and secretly order Zhong Xiang's military intelligence agents to immediately go to the states controlled by Zhong Xiang's henchmen to friction with the local barbarians. I don't care what method they use, I will hear the news that the entire barbarian tribe of Guangxi is against Zhong Xiang within three days. ”

Guangxi, far away in the Qin and Han dynasties, was the place where the descendants of the Lingnan barbarians and Chiyou were entrenched for generations. Although the Tang and Song dynasties continued to replenish the army and migrate the Han people there, the strength of the Nanban ethnic groups in Guangxi is still the largest so far.

In the past, no matter which dynasty it was, after getting the land in Lingnan, it would appease and appease those southern barbarian tribes, just begging them not to rebel against the court of the current dynasty at every turn.

Because once those barbarians rebelled. Even if it was the former Ma Yuan, Ma Fubo, the famous Tang general Su Dingfang and others were able to quickly put down their rebellion. But the end result. Because the Nanban groups have geographical advantages and people, the Central Plains Imperial Court that sent troops after conquering that country will also suffer heavy losses.

Exchanging the minimum price for the greatest benefit has always been a policy that Liu Xing firmly pursues. Whether it is for the Golden Dog, the party, or the Western Regions.

This set of policies has been applied to Guangxi, and Liu Xing naturally does not really hope that the Nanban groups will rebel against the imperial court, but only hope that they will oppose Zhong Xiang and let Zhong Xiang step up his attack now. Take the steps to start a war on Annam. And at the same time, let him lose the possibility of returning to Guangxi in the future.

Although Zong Ying is not Liang Xing, she is not as able to fully comprehend the true intention of Liu Xing's every order as Liang Xing. But he was the most outstanding graduate in the Wutai Mountain secret camp, and he was Liang Xing and Liu Xing's favorite disciple, so he still knew what means to take to achieve the situation that Liu Xing wanted.

But after all, it is a gatekeeper. Zong Ying also hesitated for a moment, and then raised his question: "It's not difficult to just rub and force the Southern Barbarian tribes to rebel. But Taifu, if those southern barbarian tribes really do a fake show, wouldn't my dynasty have to waste a lot of effort to quell the barbarian rebellion after Zhong Xiang left. This seems to be a bit more than worth the loss, right? ”

Hearing this, Liu Xingwei smiled and said, "Enwei and Shi, do you understand?" ”

Zong Ying was only slightly stunned when she heard this, and immediately understood and said, "Taifu, you want Zhong Xiang to be the clown on the stage, so that he can hurt the Nanban tribes to the core. And then, after he left, he ordered a great deal of favor to appease the Nanban, and declared kindness to take his heart without a fight? ”

Nodding slightly, Liu Xing pointed at Zong Ying with his finger and said to the seed master: "Uncle Shi! See, if those senior brothers in my Leopard Forest Valley are as clear as the clan brothers, hehe, I don't have to think about the integration of the four factions and sort them out. ”

The four factions are united and the trend of the times is inevitable, and now those breeders in the Leopard Forest Valley have been sent to the Surabaya River by Liu Xing's urgent order to trap the big pixiu.

In this case, the seed master knew that even if he opposed Liu Xing's merger of the four factions, it would be meaningless. What's more, he knew very well that the integration of the four factions actually outweighed the disadvantages for the Leopard Forest Valley and the breeders, and there was no reason or excuse to oppose it.

So after hearing Liu Xing's words, he could only smile bitterly and said: "I hope that after the new sect is synthesized in the future, those senior brothers of yours can all mature as soon as possible under your guidance, so that there will be a few talents like this kid in my family!" ”

There was a bit of helplessness in the words of the seed master, and the helplessness stemmed from the fact that there was really no one who could be worthy of the heavy responsibility among the disciples of the same generation of the seed family and Liu Xing. That kind of helplessness is the lament of the head of a family for the mediocrity and incompetence of the children in the family. (To be continued.) )
