Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

Zhang Xutuo and others least expected that they would be directly appointed to lead an army. Although, judging from their names, Jinwu Army and Wei Xu Army were more like reserve armies, they were still a real army of [-] people.

With the equipment of the Chu army and the fact that they are all experienced generals, they will definitely be able to train a tiger and wolf division.

"In addition, Zhang Gongjin is appointed as Hengbo's left general and Chai Shao is Hengbo's right general. They form the Hengbo army and await the orders of Zhibing Dianjun."

"The formation of the Hengbo Army does not need to go through the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and Bingjia has other arrangements."

"Zhang Gongjin, you will set off for Yuhang tomorrow."

After taking a deep look at the calm young man in his early twenties in the corner, Kou Zhong ordered.

Geek!

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Chai Shao's name has long been spread throughout the world, and he is no stranger to them. However, Chai Shao and Li Clan had a fierce fight, and no one expected that he would become an official in the Chu Kingdom.

But Zhang Gongjin's name has not been spread, and this young man who comes from nowhere has won the favor of Chu Gongjin.

The specialness of the Hengbo Army has emerged. It appeared alone in Jiangdong and was commanded by Shen Luoyan, the Zhibingdian Army. There was no titled general.

This means that this army of 10 people completely obeys Shen Luoyan's orders, and also includes the Donghai Navy of 5 people.

It is obvious that their existence is to seize Jiangdong, or even go north to enter Jiangdu.

 …  

"Your Highness, don't worry!"

"I'll set off tonight!"

Zhang Gongjin stood up suddenly and said solemnly.

"it is good!"

Kou Zhong nodded towards him with expectant eyes.

Zhang Gongjin was one of the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty and ranked among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. If he had not died young, his achievements would have been immeasurable.

In the third year of Zhenguan, he personally proposed to conquer the Turks. Li Shimin appointed Li Jing as the marching general manager, and he was the deputy general manager. He defeated Jie Li in one fell swoop.

The reason why he was placed in Yuhang was because of his steady mind and sharp vision.

"Master Ling."

Immediately afterwards, Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling and said solemnly: "Next, I will go to Shuzhong."

"The armies of the Chu State are handed over to you. The Yulin Army is stationed in Jingling, the Yulin Army is stationed in Jiangxia, the Jinwu Army is stationed in Xuancheng, and the Wei Xu Army stays in Poyang."

"it is good!"

Xu Ziling knew that Kou Zhong's plan was huge and Shuzhong was an indispensable part.

Before that, he had to firmly protect the Chu State so that Kou Zhong would have no worries.

"In terms of government affairs, the Sixth Ministry continues to replenish officials and select a large number of candidates in advance who are suitable to serve as county and county officials."

"At the same time, matters such as land equalization and slave liberation in various counties should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and next spring plowing cannot be missed."

"In addition, the integration of Jianghu sects must also be put on the agenda."

"No Buddhist temple is allowed to appear in Chu State and must be destroyed."

"It is allowed to establish a bodyguard bureau to engage in escorting and escorting, but it is not allowed to occupy the mountain and become the king."

"Jiang Ba, Dajiang Lian will set an example first. If a small sect in the south of the Yangtze River is willing to submit to the Chu State, we can grant them a county lecture on martial arts hall to offer wine, or a county lecture on martial arts hall to offer wine, and the rank is equivalent to that of a county magistrate or a county magistrate." Cheng."

"What the Chu State needs to do is to spread martial arts to all the people. The county martial arts hall must be a first-class master, and the county martial arts hall must be a first-rate master."

"Yes!"

Jinyi Guard Commander Fu Junma and commander Jiang Ba all responded.

Everyone present was shocked. With this, it became clear that the Chu State and Buddhism were incompatible with each other.

The advantage is that Buddhism has always liked to hide wealth, and there are many monks and monks. If all of these are confiscated, the Chu State's finances will become more relaxed.

Moreover, most of those temples are located in quiet and secluded places, and they can be converted into martial arts halls or county schools or county schools without even needing to relocate.

If things go on like this, literati and warriors emerge frequently in Chu's administration. They no longer need the support of aristocratic families, and can cultivate a large number of officials and generals on their own.

Based on the fifteenth-level nobility system, a group of nobles bound to the Chu Kingdom were reshaped and moved forward together.

"It's getting late. If there's nothing else, everyone should disperse."

After waving his hand, Kou Zhong said impatiently.

"Yes."

All the ministers took their harvest and left the Duke of Chu's Mansion with satisfaction.

This night, I don’t know how many forces were concerned about the heartstrings, and no one knew that the foundation for Chu’s unification of the world was laid at this moment.

Chapter 76: Forming an alliance with the Song Clan, now I have the final say!

"Your Highness!"

"The hot water in the room is ready."

Not long after everyone left, Yun Yuzhen stepped forward with a charming eye and said.

"Oh? You are already a master!"

At a glance, Kou Zhong saw that Yun Yuzhen's aura had clearly entered the innate realm and was in the early stage of a master.

It seems that those miraculous medicines were not in vain after all.

Looking at Yun Yuzhen's affectionate look, how could Kou Zhong not know what she was thinking and laughed loudly: "I want to take a mandarin duck bath today."

He picked up Yun Yuzhen and strode into the inner hall.

........

A night of spring supper was like a dream.

The next morning, at four o'clock in the morning, it was at the Duke of Chu's Mansion.

"Brother Song, Second Uncle Song."

"You two came a little early today, but are you anxious?"

Looking at Song Shidao and Song Zhi who hurriedly entered the lobby, Kou Zhong sat down with a calm expression.

"Brother Kou."

"Aren't you just anxious?"

"My sister was imprisoned in Duzun Castle. Every time I think about it, my heart feels like a knife."

"Let's quickly discuss the matter of entering Shu. Your Jin Yiwei should all know the movements of my Song family."

"There are some things that you probably know without me having to say them out loud."

Song Shidao said helplessly.

Jin Yiwei is the most powerful intermediary organization in the world today, and the appearance of Jin Yi Tiqi is even more frightening.

The most frightening thing is Jin Yiwei's penetration ability. The speed of collecting and transmitting information is far beyond imagination.

Even the Song clan purchased homing pigeons from the Chu State and trained them by themselves for the purpose of delivering messages.

"Mr. Chu."

"Today, we are here to rectify the "June [-]" issue regarding the signing of an alliance between the Song clan and the Chu state."

"My eldest brother said that Bashu's informants and [-] elite soldiers can be handed over to Chu State."

"The Song clan has only one request, and no one from Duzunbao should be spared."

Earth Sword Song Zhi spoke in a deep voice.

"not enough."

Facing the gazes of the two Song family members, Kou Zhong said calmly: "Although Duzunbao in Sichuan is not a strong enemy."

"But the power of Buddhism in Sichuan is not weak, and there are many strong masters and great masters."

"In addition, once I enter Sichuan, I will be feared by others. The Sichuan Gang, Ba Meng, and Zhu Can's men have gathered more than [-] troops."

"Let alone [-] elite soldiers, even if it is [-] elite soldiers, let's see if we can capture Shuzhong."

Since the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Buddhism has entered Shu. In Emei alone, there are Puxian Temple, Fuhu Temple, and Guangxiang Temple that are not inferior to those of the White Horse Temple in the Central Plains, Longzang Temple in Guanzhong, and Famen Temple. There are at least a hundred Buddhist temples in central Sichuan. , how powerful it is!

The strength of the Sichuan Gang and the Bameng League is not inferior to that of the Eight Gangs and Ten Hui. As local local gangsters, it is impossible to watch the Chu army enter Shu.

"what do you want?"

Earth Sword Song Zhi stared at Kou Zhong and asked.

If it weren't for the complicated power in Shu, the Song clan would have attacked Shuzhong long ago, so there would be no need to support Duzunbao.

"I know that the three handsome men have a good relationship with you, and I want to meet them."

While playing with the teacup in his hand, Kou Zhong said casually.

Geek!

Hearing this, Song Zhi and Song Shidao's expressions changed a little.

The Li people are descendants of Baiyue and are widely distributed in central Guizhou and Lingnan areas. They number at least one million and are hugely powerful.

Among them, the three leading slang commanders in the north are: Wang Zhongxuan, Chen Zhifu, and Ouyang Qian.

Among them, Ouyang Qian is the commander-in-chief of Shi'an County, Wang Zhongxuan and Chen Zhifo are the commander-in-chief of Zoke County and Qian'an County respectively.

If these three people were conquered by the Chu State, the Song clan's access to Bashu would be completely cut off. Moreover, Shi'an County was originally located in the south of Lingnan, which was equivalent to the Chu army extending a hand to the Song clan's territory.

"Mr. Chu."

"You should know what the three handsome men mean to me, the Song clan?"

Staring at Kou Zhong, Earth Sword Song Zhi's tone became a little unkind.

"Ha ha!"

Kou Zhong chuckled and said calmly: "To this day, the Song clan still has the ability to influence central Guizhou?"

"Don't be sentimental. The three great slander commanders can continue to obey the orders of the Song clan, all because the power of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, is still there."

"If I remember correctly, the Feng family is rapidly expanding its influence. How many counties can your Song family still control?"

"This.."

Song Zhi's pupils shrank severely.

Sure enough, Jin Yiwei still infiltrated into the Lingnan territory, otherwise, such a secret matter would not have been known to Kou Zhong.

Indeed, as the leader of Nanyue, the Feng family controls Rinan County, Jiuzhen County, Jiaozhi County, Ningyue County, Hepu County, Daner County, Zhuya County, and Linzhen County, and is extending to Yulin County and Yongxi County. .

At present, the only counties that the Song clan can guarantee to control are Nanhai County, Cangwu County, Gaoliang County, Yongping County, Xiping County, Longchuan County, and Nghe An County.

If Nanhai County was not the head of the Lingnan counties, and coupled with the invisible power of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, the Song family's status would have been lost long ago.

Recently, the Song family has been competing with the Feng family for Yulin County and Yongxi County. There are [-] households in these two counties, no less than hundreds of thousands of people.

"it is good."

"We can agree to Brother Kou's request."

"When I enter Shu, I will introduce the three great commanders to Brother Kou."

Before Song Zhi could speak, Song Shidao on the side had already spoken.

"a man of his words!"

Kou Zhong waved his hand and ordered: "Come here and get the alliance letter."

"Yes!"

The attendant who had been waiting for a long time immediately took out the prepared alliance letter from the inner hall, signed Kou Zhong's name on it, and stamped it with the seal of Duke Chu.

"Shh! Shh!"
