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

"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!"

After Song Shidao took it, he signed it without thinking.

Looking at this scene, Earth Sword Song Zhi's expression changed a little, but he did not stop Song Shidao, because if he did not sign the alliance with Chu, the Song clan would have no time. The one who was anxious now was not Kou Zhong, but them.

"Hahaha!"

"From now on, the Chu State and the Song Dynasty will be allies and help each other."

"Brother Song and Second Uncle Song, why don't you have dinner at my house today, and I'll order people to prepare it."

Watching Song Shidao sign the alliance, Kou Zhong laughed heartily and invited.

"Brother Kou!"

"Yuzhi has already gone to Shu. My second uncle and I still need to return to Nanhai County to explain to my father."

"As for the banquet, let's talk about it over wine and talk about it someday."

"I say goodbye first!"

However, Song Shidao saluted Kou Zhong with a serious face, and hurriedly left the Duke of Chu's Mansion with Song Zhi, the ground sword.

Watching them leave, the smile on Kou Zhong's face instantly faded and he said in a deep voice: "Whoever comes, please inform the former military governor and the commander of the Jinyi Guards to come to the mansion to discuss matters."

"Yes."

The attendant on duty turned and left without saying a word.

After a while.

Xu Ziling and Fu Junma entered one after another.

"Master Zhong!"

When the two of them saw Kou Zhong at the head, they couldn't help asking.

Call them here so early in the morning, unless there is something important to discuss.

"Ah."

"Master Ling, Miss Fu, please sit down first."

After waving his hand, Kou Zhong said directly: "Just now, Song Shidao and Song Zhi came to sign an alliance with me."

"The Song Dynasty promised to introduce the three great slang commanders to us."

"Master Zhong, are you planning to attack Southwest?"

Xu Ziling immediately thought of the key points.

Fu Junma on the side looked at Kou Zhong with the same eyes. Who didn't know that Kou Zhong's strategic thinking was always unconstrained.

"Ok!"

Kou Zhong nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "The Han Dynasty destroyed Yelang and Ailao Kingdom and established Yizhou."

"Afterwards, successive Central Plains dynasties turned a blind eye to the southwest. In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty pacified the eastern Cuan Wuman and established Nanning, Gongzhou, Xiezhou and Kunzhou."

"But with the self-rebellion of the Dongcuan Wuman, Nanning Prefecture disappeared, and Gongzhou, Xiezhou, and Kunzhou also existed in name only."

"In addition, there are Xicuan Baiman and Pubu Kingdom in the southwest, and further south are Piao Kingdom, Linyi, Zhenla, Duoheluo, Jia Luoshe and other countries."

"To the west, it can poison the body; to the north, there are Tuyuhun and Tubo, and the terrain is dangerous."

"In the southwest alone, there are millions of people of various ethnic groups. If they can be conquered, they will be able to establish two states."

"On this trip to Bashu, I want to take over the land of Shu and call it Bazhou and Shuzhou, and use the central Guizhou area to build Qianzhou."

"In this way, our army will use its navy to cross the river and connect the four states. The Liang army of Xiangchu has no other choice but to submit to you."

"At this point, our Chu State controls Southwest, Bashu, Jingchu, and Jiangnan. Except for Lingnan, we control the entire south, and the world is divided into two parts."

"At that time, we will mobilize a million troops to attack the south and the north, and with Jingling as the backbone, who can match it?"

Boom!

As soon as he said this, the whole hall was shocked.

None of the previous dynasties had brought the southwest under their control. Kou Zhong actually wanted to conquer the southwest first and then attack the north.

Moreover, it is better to conquer the world from the south and conquer the north, which will create a new history.

However, with the two major horse farms of Jingling and Poyang, the Chu State was able to build tens of thousands of cavalry, and they were no less capable in fighting with the heroes in the north.

Furthermore, going north from Jingling to seize Guanzhong is a road leading to the sky. From Bashu to the north to seize Hanzhong, you can also enter Ganlong and cut off the road to Guanzhong...

If others had said this, Xu Ziling and Fu Junma might think he was talking nonsense, but if Kou Zhong said it, it would be a feasible strategy.

"Master Zhong!"

"Just tell me what you want to do."

Xu Ziling was a little eager to try, and Fu Junma's cold and pretty face also showed a look of anticipation.

With the establishment of Chu State, their characters became more and more fighting spirit.

"Miss Fu."

"Jinyiwei first established the Bazhou Ten Thousand Household Office, Shuzhou Ten Thousand Household Office, and Qianzhou Ten Thousand Household Office."

"Gao Zhandao, Sima Feng, and Fu Jian have already broken through the Grandmaster. Let them go to Ren Wanhu and each lead a group of people to open up Wanhu."

"The embroidered spring knives, powerful crossbows, and flying fish uniforms required by the Jin Yiwei are all allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Jiangzhou established a Wanhu office and transferred Mai Yunfei, a Qianhu from Jiangdu, to serve as a Wanhu office in Jiangzhou."

"With Xiangchu as the base, the Xiangzhou Ten Thousand Households Office was established, the Chuzhou Ten Thousand Households Office was established in the Jiangxia Han River Basin, and then the Huizhou Ten Thousand Households Office was established based on the four counties of Danyang."

"The Hangzhou Ten Thousand Household Office was established in the six counties of Jiangdong, and the Minzhou Ten Thousand Household Office was established in the two counties of Jian'an and Ngee'an."

"Ma Gui, Shi Jie, Wen Qin, Dongfang Bai, and Pu Shengfeng were transferred to ten thousand households in various states."

"As the same saying goes, if you need people, give people, and if you need money, give money. I just need them to understand the local situation as soon as possible."

With eyes as bright as a torch, Kou Zhong said in a deep voice.

As a result, except for Southwest and Lingnan, the entire south is already covered with Jin Yiwei.There are three levels: Prefectural Ten Thousand Household Office, County Thousand Household Office, and County Hundred Household Office.

A tight network was formed.

"Yes."

Fu Junma's beautiful eyes sparkled and she responded.

"Master Ling."

"You put down what you are doing first and accompany me to meet someone."

"Uh, who?"

Hearing this, Xu Ziling had a puzzled look on his face.

"Longhu Mountain, the current Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion!"

With his deep eyes, Kou Zhong reflected a magnificent scene.

Geek!

The expressions of Xu Ziling and Fu Junma changed suddenly. Meeting the former leader of the Taoist sect was no small matter.

At noon that day, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling rode a dragon horse and a dragon horse respectively down south along the Xinjiang River and entered Yugan County. On the way, they encountered steep mountains and deep rivers. The dragon horse fluttered its wings and flew away, while the dragon horse was like walking on the ground. For several breaths Then you have seen the unique "Danxia Wonderland",

The red cliffs echo the lush mountains, the clouds and mist are lingering, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, and the light air blowing towards your face is extremely refreshing.

"Master Ling, that is Longhu Mountain!"

Pointing to the towering mountain peak in front of him that looked like a dragon's disk and a tiger crouching, Kou Zhong spoke out.

The clear water at the foot of the mountain is breathtaking and clear to the bottom. The clouds and brocades are floating on the top of the mountain, like a dragon and a tiger vying for supremacy. It is really mysterious.

"Young Master Zhong."

"Shall we go up the mountain to find the Tianshi Mansion 5.4 now?"

Xu Ziling asked immediately.

"No, we are not going up the mountain, and the Tianshi Mansion is not on the mountain either."
