Yue Fei first entered the grassland, and the real first battle was a great victory.

But after this result was reported to Liu Xing, Zong Ze and the Seed Master through Yingyang, the three of them laughed happily at the same time.

The reason that made the three of them laugh out loud was nothing else, but Yue Fei actually used less than 100,000 people in this battle to defeat the 300,000 troops of the Tatar Department with a single blow.

"More than 200,000 enemies were killed and more than 40,000 were captured. In terms of the number of enemies killed and captured, haha, Yue Fei's first battle was comparable to that of Yang Yizhong when he swept through Hebei that day. I don't know if our 'Yang Yan King' will be so anxious that after seeing such a battle report, he will immediately go to the battle and allow me to immediately allow him to destroy the golden dog so that he will not be overtaken by Yue Fei! Throwing the battle report on the table with a smile, Liu Xing looked at Zong Ze and the seed master who were sitting opposite him, and said with a smile.

Then his face sank, but Liu Xing turned the topic to the other side: "I summoned the two of you to come to me urgently, not just to let the two of you see that Yue Fei's Dapeng bird really began to show its soaring, but the two brothers Liu Xu under the command of Zhong Xiang actually openly went to fight against him at such a time, so that he did not dare to go south to continue to seek self-reliance." I want to hear the thoughts of the two seniors before making a decision, after all, this matter is really related to the situation of one-quarter of Guangxi. ”

Did the two Liu Shu brothers turn against Zhong Xiang? When Zong Ze heard Liu Xing's words, he couldn't help but be very surprised and secretly pondered: Isn't Liu Shu Zhong Xiang's number one think tank?

His brother, who has always been known as the number one leader of Zhong Xiang's first wisdom and bravery, why did he suddenly part ways with him at this time? Could there be some trickery hidden in this......

Unlike Zongze. Zong Ze used to be a deputy marshal, and most of the time when he encountered things, he would stand at a height and look at the details. And although the breeder was very famous in the past. But in fact, there is only one marshal talent in the farming family, and that is the father of Yanling, the master of the plantation. In fact, this "small species" can only be regarded as a strategically minded general. At most, it can only be counted as half a marshal.

Because of his talent and decision, there is no such deep conspiracy among the cultivators as Zong Ze, and after hearing Liu Xing's words, he immediately spoke: "Liu Xu is resourceful, Liu Heng is both wise and brave, these two suddenly rebelled at such a moment, I don't feel credible." I suggest that the general of the Heavenly Division lead the troops to his place, and it is the best policy to first collect the military power of the two people, and then reward them for their meritorious deeds and reassign them to other places. ”

First collect military power, then talk about meritorious deeds, and then reassign to other Taoist methods to be officials. The idea among the planters is simple and straightforward.

But since Liu Xing invited Zong Ze, who had just taken a few of his own medicines and lost three points of the poison in his body, and heard her heart, he naturally wanted to listen to what the old marshal wanted to do.

"Grandmaster. What do you think of it? Liu Xing, who has always been unruly, really showed his respect for an old man for the first time, looked at Zong Ze and asked.

When Zong Ze heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, then said: "What the Heavenly Ruler said is good, it is time to take over the military power in the hands of the two brothers first." However, this matter should not be done by the people of Xiongshan, but should be done by the officials of Guangxi, and Yang Qi should lead the troops south to take over the land ruled by the two brothers, and then collect their military power. ”

Zong Ze thought about the reason for this, as soon as he said it, Liu Xing knew his true intentions.

First of all, the brothers Liu Xu and Liu Heng had already become Zhong Xiang, the military envoy under the command of the governor of Guangxi and the commander of the southeast of Guangxi. Xiongshan is reliable, but he is the governor of Hunan. Letting the governor of Hunan take over the military power of the Guangxi magistrate would bring unnecessary suspicion between the government and the opposition.

Secondly, although they are mostly Hunan soldiers. But the real main force under the command of the Xiongshan people is those Dongchuan soldiers. In his team, a very vivid sentence is now circulating, "Dongchuan's official Cao, Xiaoxiang's soldiers". That is to say, the team of Xiongshan people is now Dongchuan people as officers at all levels, and the soldiers in Hunan are only mostly low-level soldiers.

Between officials and soldiers, after all, it can be regarded as a class. When a situation arises in which one group of township parties becomes the official class, and the other group of township parties are only soldiers, a certain degree of class differentiation will inevitably emerge in the tradition of the Central Plains people.

With the emergence of that kind of concept, let the Xiongshan people take over the soldiers under Liu Xu and Liu Heng, and if they don't do well, there will be some chaos. Zong Ze's idea is to be cautious and prevent some accidents.

Finally, there is a more important point, that is Zong Ze's hidden scheming, he wants to use this incident to test whether Yang Mi is really as Liu Xing said, he is a person who is completely loyal to Liu Xing and loyal to the Northern Dynasty, and can be convinced.

The reason why Zong Ze has such an idea, first of all, Yang Mi started with Zhong Xiang, even though he was born in Tiancewei, Zong Ze has always held the concept of "people's hearts grow and true feelings grow over time", but he didn't dare to fully believe Yang Mi's letter.

The old marshal was always worried that he would fall in love with him over time, and after he had affection with Zhong Xiang or those under Zhong Xiang, he was not so loyal to the court and Liu Xing.

Once the leader of the army has a certain affection mixed with his management of the army and affairs, it will often lead to favoritism because of affection. Once that kind of favoritism appears, Yu Yu, Yu Sheji, and even Li Min's people will often cause great damage.

In order to avoid the kind of damage that can be prevented, Zong Ze wants to use this incident to test how much affection Yang Mi has with Zhong Xiang and his generals, and it is understandable whether he will forget his public because of personal feelings......

Knowing Zong Ze's true thoughts and intentions, Liu Xing smiled indifferently: "Why let Yang Mi go, my thoughts are similar to the two but different." Didn't Liu Shu expose Zhong Xiang's rebellion? Okay, I will let him be reappointed as the inspector of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the dictatorship in Guangxi, and grant him the rank of Zheng Erpin, so that he can thoroughly investigate the case of Zhong Xiang's rebellion in Guangxi. ”

After a little thought, Liu Xing then said with a sly smile: "As for his brother, hasn't the patrol envoy in Hunan been empty all the time?" Let Liu Heng return to his hometown with his troops and return to Hunan to be a patrol envoy. Let the Hunan soldiers under Zhong Xiang see the example I gave them to return to their hometown, the power of the example is huge, hehehe......"

The power of example is enormous, and Liu Xing didn't say any more here now, but just laughed weirdly. But after these words were heard by Seed Master Zhong and Zong Ze, the two immediately understood Liu Xing's deep intentions.

"You want to completely divide Zhong Xiang's Huxiang soldiers, let them collapse internally, and then easily clean them up one by one!" The seed master was used to speaking outright, and after comprehending Liu Xing's deep-seated intentions, he looked at Liu Xing with some surprise and said. (To be continued.) )
