"truth?"

"truth!"

"Have you ever thought about why I didn't let you lead the army to attack Chengyang?"

"I thought about it, I thought before..."

"What about now?"

"The public knows how to make good use of people."

"Flattery doesn't mean much."

"Next time I'll learn from Zhang Du."

"Zhang Du's flattery can choke people to death."

"To be honest, before today, I always felt that there was something between Zhou Jian, Huang Xianggong, and the Duke..."

"relation?"

"yes."

Yang Xuan pulled off a piece of meat and asked Han Hu, "Where is it now?"

"This man uses his troops calmly and sharply. He was a little rusty at first, but then he gradually became more calm. Xiao Hongde is no match for him."

Yang Xuan glanced at him, "Do you have any doubts that you want to ask me?"

"Yes." Jiang Cunzhong hesitated, "Although I know I shouldn't ask, I still want to ask, where is Zhou Jian?"

Yang Xuan said, "One of my own."

Of course I know that he is one of our own, otherwise how could you give him the command of the army... Jiang Cunzhong: "..."

Yang Xuan pointed in the direction of Chang'an, "They are our own people standing together."

Jiang Cunzhong said: "In this way, there will be one more general."

He hesitated again and again, "What will the Duke do to Chang'an... in the future?"

After conquering Neizhou, the situation in Northern Xinjiang has never been better or calmer than before.

From this, what will happen next for Northern Xinjiang?

Northward!

Taking Neizhou as the starting point, it expanded to the north.

But such expansion will definitely lead to a strong counterattack by Beiliao.

When Huang Chunhui was there, Northern Liao also launched a war, but at that time Northern Xinjiang had the entire Tang Dynasty as its backing.

Soldiers, food, supplies, weapons, money...

Even if those things are inferior, they are always enough.

Today's Northern Xinjiang is like a country within a country, and everything has to be done by oneself.

Can this corner of northern Xinjiang withstand the all-out attack of the behemoth Bei Liao?

And Chang'an.

As Northern Xinjiang continues to expand northward, Yang Xuan's prestige will increase day by day.

In such a situation, how will Changan react?

Will he give Bei Xinjiang a knife from behind during the war between Bei Xinjiang and Bei Liao?

Others might not, Li Mi... to be honest, Jiang Cunzhong felt it was dangerous!

Yang Xuan glanced at him and threw away the sign in his hand.

"Capture Neizhou and Chang'an will be shaken."

"You will become more and more wary of the Duke and Northern Xinjiang."

"Then tell me, what will happen to Chang'an if I go on the defensive?"

"The fear remains, and I will despise you."

"When a man stands in this world, he must not be timid."

"But I am worried that if this continues, when Northern Xinjiang moves northward again, the whole of Chang'an will be watching."

"People are more afraid of being famous than they are of being strong?"

"yes."

"Our career is extremely brilliant!"

Yang Xuan used this sentence to fend off Jiang Cunzhong.

Once Neizhou is removed, the situation in Northern Xinjiang will be improved.

The vast land that was once ravaged by enemy forces suddenly turned into the inland area of ​​Northern Xinjiang.

People with a greater sense of security will be more enthusiastic about production.

Self-sufficient in food, self-sufficient in weapons...

A Northern Xinjiang that can strengthen itself without relying on the outside world is the real foundation.

And the basis of all this is to capture Neizhou!

Now, Chengyang, the last stronghold in Neizhou, is under the shadow of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Yang Xuan turned around and looked at Chengyang City in the distance.

He has walked step by step from Taiping to today, which can be said to be a rough road.

"This journey is difficult!"

Yang Xuan sighed with emotion.

Jiang He'er lagged behind, waving his hands back and forth.

Jiang Cunzhong said: "When the Duke of Guo led a group of criminals to start a business, the journey was indeed difficult.

Taiping was breached several times in the beginning. Chenzhou was powerless against the three major armies, let alone Tanzhou behind them.

Now that the three major divisions have been wiped out, He Lianrong, the governor of Tanzhou, is serving the Duke of Jin Yiwei.

Neizhou is about to become my northern territory...

To be honest, a few years ago, who would have dared to say that Northern Xinjiang could have such a good situation and that I could beat him!"

Yang Xuan Wan'er, "Lao Jiang."

"exist!"

"If I said this is just the beginning, would you believe it?"

Just the beginning?

Jiang Cunzhong was stunned, thinking, does the Duke still want to destroy Bei Liao?

This is impossible!

The Central Plains and Northern Liao have been at war with each other for many years, and have been mortal enemies since the time of the Chen Kingdom.

Both sides said they wanted to destroy the other side, but as a result, Chen State itself collapsed, and the people of Bei Liao were still alive and well.

"letter!"

Jiang Cunzhong felt that the Duke's intention should be to make greater efforts to the north and weaken the Northern Liao.

Yang Xuan didn't explain, but then Ouda came.

"Mr. Zhou said that he would summon all the generals to discuss matters and prepare for a decisive battle. Please go and take charge of the battle."

This time Yang Xuan went.

He sat at the head of the big tent and saw everyone filing in. When everyone arrived, he said: "This time I will bring my ears."

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but glance at the sword on Pei Jian's waist.

The knife was still in the Duke's waist a few days ago.

The Duke of the State has said that there is no guilt in killing those who commit crimes with this sword.

Pei Jian was the first to bow his hands to Yang Xuan.

Why do I feel like I have become a statue in the temple?

Yang Guogong was a little confused.

Pei Jian said: "In today's battle, the enemy suffered heavy casualties and has become discouraged. Tomorrow is the time for the decisive battle."

A general raised his hand, Pei Jian nodded, and the general said: "Mr. Zhou is a bit confused by what he said."

"explain!"

"Although the enemy army was frightened in today's battle, Xiao Hongde has one night to revive his morale. I think this will not be difficult."
To be continued...
