Chapter 138 Retreating to Advance
Zhang Liang said this was the truth and he had thought it through carefully.
He knew the time had come when he had to do it.
Xu Ping'an looked at a few more documents and set his sights on Jing'an. "Zifang! This Jing'an is a little weird!"
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Jing'an, there went a man called Lu Xu, an old man in Qilong Lane who was playing chess and fishing for big fish. He does have some skills. Judging from what they did, they still have some means. This is a retreat to advance."
Everything Lu Xu did in Jing'an and the methods he implemented all revealed his method of consolidating the foundation and deepening cultivation, stabilizing the rear and intending to move forward.
But none of this escaped Zhang Liang's eyes.
He has already investigated this man named Lu Xu and even done a lot of research on him.
This person is a great talent in recent years.
Although he is old, it does not prevent him from becoming a famous strategist.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang looked at the geomancy map on the table.
"My Lord, we have already dealt with the Jiaodong area and strengthened our defenses. It's time to go to other places."
"I think we should not be in a hurry for Jing'an. Let General Han Xin stay at Chunshen Lake and wait for orders. Guangling and Nanjiang are the focus."
Zhang Liang said.
Xu Ping'an also looked at the map, then took out a document from the archive and handed it to Zhang Liang, "Zifang, take a look at this information."
Zhang Liang quickly finished reading it with a smile on his face.
"This Zhao Yi is really Zhao Dun's biological brother, and the closest one to him. Now he has to learn from Zhao Sui."
"That depends on whether he has the ability to do so. Let Li Jing stationed near the quarrying mountain be prepared and not slack off. These people are all stubborn." Xu Ping'an said calmly.
Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "My lord, don't worry. I have already issued the order. It is estimated that it has arrived by now. General Li Jing is also a general and an expert in leading troops in battles. He is probably aware of these movements and is just waiting for our attitude."
Xu Pingan listened and nodded, "Zifang, you are right. Now, Li Jing may have been unable to hold back any longer. It is really embarrassing for him to keep quiet in the south!"
Zhang Liang laughed and said, "This is also a required course for a qualified general!"
Xu Pingan looked towards Nanjiang again and asked Zhang Liang, "Zifang, what do you think Nanjiang wants?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Scouts reported that Zhao Bing might have other plans. He has many counselors and generals around him, all of whom are good at fighting. There is also Nalan Youci who is giving him advice. This prince is most likely to rebel, but he is just holding back and trying to accumulate strength."
"We have to guard against it."
"We can ask General Li to focus most of his forces on Southern Xinjiang."
Xu Ping'an smiled and said, "Li Jing is involved in two parties at the same time. It depends on how capable he is."
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "When the time comes, the lord will come to Southern Xinjiang in person."
Xu Ping'an was stunned, but then he smiled again and said, "I know what Zifang means. It's okay. Let's take a look first. If I really need you to come forward, I will naturally come forward."
Zhang Liang added: "This time I will also go to Jiangnan to fight against the enemy together with General Li."
Xu Pingan was startled and asked suspiciously, "Is it necessary to do so?"
Zhang Liang smiled, "I also want to see Nalan Youci's ability. Also, after we take over Southern Xinjiang or other places, we should be mentally prepared for how to govern these places. Otherwise, if we conquer them but don't govern them, it will be the same as not owning these lands and people, which will only make the entire battle line slack."
"It's just a dog's tail."
Xu Ping'an nodded and said, "Just do as Zifang said."
---------------
Guangling.
At this time, Guangling was full of signs of fighting. In Dahuang City, the army and soldiers began to deploy defenses and evacuate the people.
There are also soldiers promoting it everywhere.
Inside the palace of Prince Guangling, at this moment in the hall, officials from Guangling area were gathered, all with serious expressions on their faces.
Sitting at the top was a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, and there was a young man beside him.
The two people are Prince Guangling and his crown prince Zhao Piao.
Prince Zhao Yi of Guangling looked around and glanced at his colleagues below. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "My fellow colleagues, you have all seen that our current situation is not good. What should we do? I ask all of you to work together to discuss countermeasures and resist the army. We are royal nobles. The prince of Beiliang is rebelling, and we should serve the king!"
Zhao Yi's words undoubtedly set the tone for this pre-war meeting. The recorder inside was also recording quickly. After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he had some propaganda reports and slogans to make, so he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
The first person sitting at the bottom was a middle-aged man in Confucian clothes, the owner of Chunxue Tower.
This person is Zhao Yi's adviser.
But he didn't speak.
The words just fell.
In the hall, there was a buzz of discussion:
"We are the regular Liyang Dynasty's loyal army. We have the right to do so, and we have the support of the people in our jurisdiction. We have a strong base of supporters!"
"We can fight, but we must not let Xu Ping'an go south."
"It is said that Xu Ping'an ordered Xiang Yu to lead 30 troops to capture Jiaodong City and force the death of Jiaodong King Zhao Sui and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhao Yi."
"This Xiang Yu is so powerful! We might..."
"Don't be afraid. Xiang Yu has captured the King of Jiaodong, and he needs generals to strengthen the border defense in the north to prevent Beimang from going south. This Xiang Yu has no time to take care of us."
"There is another Li Jing in the south. He leads an army of 20 and is stationed in Caishishan. He wants to launch a pincer attack on Southern Xinjiang and Guangling."
"Don't be afraid! This man is nothing to be afraid of."
"..."
I heard the colleagues in the hall talking about each other.
Zhao Yi frowned repeatedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Zhao Piao looked at Zhao Yi and asked in a low voice: "Father, we can't just sit there and wait for death, right? I will lead a team to compete with Li Jing. How do you think?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Piao'er, don't be so noisy."
Zhao Pi asked, "Father, what are you worried about?"
Zhao Yi smiled and asked, "Piao'er, tell me how you want to deal with Li Jing?"
Zhao Pi was stunned when he heard it, "I, I..."
"No idea?" Zhao Yi asked. Zhao Pi nodded and said, "Father, don't we still have the owner of Chunxue Tower?"
The words just fell.
The father and son looked at the owner of Chunxue Tower.
The latter was also stunned when he saw the expressions of the father and son.
The owner of Chunxue Tower stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I think we should confront him now, otherwise we will lose the initiative."
"Once this goes on for a long time, the people will no longer trust us. By then, people will be uneasy and I'm afraid everything will be over."
"Now is a good time."
Zhao Yi continued to ask: "Please enlighten me, sir."
