The weather was stuffy and the river in the south of the Yangtze River rose sharply. The waterways in Jinling were interrupted for many consecutive days.

It was originally very close to Jiangning and Jinling, and the waterway was only an hour long, but now this distance has been extended due to the flood.

The chief assistant of Dakang, Lu Shanchang, recently returned to his old house in Jiangning to recuperate. He was originally planning to return to Jinling three days before. Everyone would discuss the taxes, money and food of the three provinces, but due to the water barrier, the matter in the capital could not be discussed for the time being. Because of this matter, the imperial edict from the palace was issued, and the governor of the three provinces stayed in Jinling and could not move at all.

Long Zhaohuan, who had just settled as the prince and was in charge of His Majesty, got angry in the East Palace and shouted: "Now all things in the world require the Lu family to nod. Without the Lu family, I, the prince of the country, are useless! I just want to ask, is the country still the country of the Long family? Is Dakang or Dakang?"

The prince's outrage caused a great uproar. Everyone inside and outside the Eastern Palace was silent, and no one dared to say too much about this issue.

Hehe, the situation is very subtle. The Lu family is also very strong outside the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone could see the intentions of Emperor Xinde. Emperor Xinde sent Lu Zheng out in order to weaken the Lu family. Where is the north? There are few soldiers in the capital. Song Wensong, who came from the northwest, dared not stay in the capital. He would rather throw tens of thousands of people under his chest in the capital, but he came to Jinling to take refuge.

The northern land is a mess and cannot be cleaned up. The fat piece of Dakang in the capital is simply unable to defend it. Therefore, the task given to Lu Zheng by Emperor Xinde is actually an unfinished task in a sense.

But the result! After Lu Zheng arrived in the north, he was like a cheat. He led Liu Song's tens of thousands of troops to the south of Bingzhou. The Miaocheng line and Song Naifeng fought against the Northwest Army. Both sides were pointed at Maimang. As a result, Lu Zheng won three battles and three victories. The Northwest Army was known as a 100,000 army, but the result was that the soldiers and generals were lost. Song Naifeng's prestige of the Northwest God of War was greatly damaged.

Lu Zheng blocked the Northwest Army in the north, and the situation suddenly became subtle. Whether the northern capital could be defended is now very suspenseful. If the capital was defended, Lu Zheng owned the capital and occupied the north alone, using the resources of the north and his identity as a Lu family, he could quickly become a giant crocodile in the north. He could even make the north more powerful than Jiangnan. Under such circumstances, officials at all levels in Jiangnan and powerful families in Jiangnan dared to offend the Lu family?

Lu Zheng won consecutive battles and Lu Shanchang's back was straight. Even if Lu Zheng retreated or other changes occurred in the north, as long as Lu Zheng's strength was preserved and he could hold troops in his hand, Lu Shanchang would not worry about his position being challenged.

There should be no suspense about Lu Zheng's position in the Northland. Even if he can't beat Song Naifeng, judging from his performance, he is fully capable of finding his own hiding place between the two rivers and the river. Because Lu Zheng is much stronger than Cao Weiming, Cao Weiming is still his King of Hejian, and Lu Zheng has no way to survive yet?

In troubled times, strength is the most respectable, and if you have strength, you can survive. If you have the strength, you can be called the boss. Lu Zheng was in a prosperous state in the north, which instead caused His Majesty and the Prince to fall into endless passiveness, and the Lu family's status became more and more respectful.

Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan walked quite closely. Long Zhaohuan complained, and no one else dared to speak. Only Song Wensong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, the affairs in Jiangnan and the affairs in the north are not isolated! Your Highness can bear the opportunity for the time being!

Although Lu Zheng won three battles and three victories in the north, he was only able to win because General Song underestimated the enemy. He did not know himself or her, so he was plotted against one after another. However, there were only three things. General Song was a veteran of a hundred battles. How could he always be deceived by Lu Zheng? In terms of strength, the Northwest Army still has an absolute advantage over the Southern Army, so I still have a pessimistic attitude towards the war in the north!”

Long Zhaohuan said: "General Song San, you should have stayed in the capital at the beginning. You also have so many people in your hands. Your ability is not smaller than Lu Zheng. If you can stay in the north, we will have one hundred and one thousand, but now..."

Song Wensong said: "There is no harm now. Lu Zheng retreated more than 500 miles in one breath and retreated directly to Tanzhou. He wanted to use the mountains on the front line of Tanzhou to fight with the Northwest Army. Obviously, his idea is naive. If nothing unexpected happens, Tanzhou may not be able to defend it!"

Song Wensong was a general who was good at fighting. His remarks were extremely authoritative. When he said that, Long Zhaohuan immediately became interested and said, "If Tanzhou cannot be defended, he was forced to defend the capital city. There are tens of thousands of people in the capital city, and he himself has 50,000 or 60,000 people, a total of nearly 100,000 people. In terms of number, both sides are of equal strength.

The key is that Lu Zheng is good at defending the city. Although General Song is brave, the cavalry is probably not good at siegeing the city!"

Song Wensong shook his head gently and said, "Things are not that simple. I know Lu Zheng. He will not trust the Northwest Army. He will not entrust my people with important responsibilities! So it is difficult to assert whether the capital can be defended now!

But one thing is that I hope he can defend the capital city to the death, because once he decides to defend the capital city, his situation will become passive. Cao Weiming, the fence-bearing man, may be shaken. In addition, Tan Lei from Liaodong is also eyeing him. Cao Weiming goes south and Tan Lei goes south, and the storm meets the capital. Even if Lu Zheng has three heads and six arms, he may not be able to defend it!

The city is a talisman and a death talisman. It is easy for Lu Zheng to enter the city. If he wants to leave the city, he may have to throw away 100,000 people!

Once there are no troops, how can Lu Zheng survive in the north? If he returns to Jiangnan in shame, the situation in Jiangnan will be reversed. At that time, His Royal Highness raises his arms and shouts, are you still worried that he will not succeed?"

When Song Wensong said this, Long Zhaohuan's face immediately became more beautiful. He thought about it carefully and said, "But this is not good for you, the third general. The soldiers and generals you have on hand are all powerful generals of the court. If they were buried in the capital together, the losses would be too great for the court, and the court would therefore fall into a situation where there was no soldiers available!"

Song Wensong said: "Our generations of military personnel, horses and corpses are originally destined to be wrapped in horses and corpses. They stayed in the north to guard the capital, and their fate was decided, and I, Song Wensong, could not turn it around!

In comparison, how can their lives be as precious as Lu Zheng's life? So, if Lu Zheng is not afraid of death, how can they be afraid of death? It's just a fight to the death, what's so scary?"

Long Zhaohuan said: "The third general has a broad mind and loyalty that makes me admire! In the future, the third general will need the third general to help you and I will advance and retreat together to get benefits. I believe the third general thinks the same way!"

Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan joined forces, and behind Long Zhaohuan is Emperor Xinde, and Emperor Xinde controls many other powerful families. In comparison, the Lu family unites the Gu family and Chen family, and the Su family in the capital. These four families are now in an alliance.

The game between the two sides is very fierce. The Lu family is a local tyrant and has many resources to control. However, Long Zhaohuan and Emperor Xinde are the identities of royal families after all, and the people they follow should not be underestimated. Another point is that the Lu family must not break up with His Majesty, because now the world is in chaos, and the Lu family must not become rebels like Cao Weiming, or like the Bai family and Tan Lei, or become traitors and traitors. If that happens, the Lu family will lose justice, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Lu family!

The focus of the game between the two sides is not on Jiangnan, but in the north, everyone's eyes are now focused on Tanzhou. Undoubtedly, the victory or defeat of the Battle of Tanzhou is likely to be related to the gains and losses of Jiangnan...

The Lu family in Jiangning was originally Lu Zheng's mansion. Dai Gao has lived here since he moved from the north and south. In addition, some of Lu Zheng's counselors and other people also live here.

Lu Shanchang said he went to Jiangning to recuperate, which in fact means more of a gesture. On the one hand, he wants everyone to see the strength and status of the Lu family. Lu Shanchang is not in Jinling, and even if Long Zhaohuan is the prince of the country, he can't act in a short time. This is to demonstrate his power and power, and it is also the most direct blow to Long Zhaohuan.

The game in Jiangnan is everywhere and is extremely fierce. Lu Shanchang is actually very stressed while gaining the upper hand, because the battle situation in the north is too complicated. He is a literati and is not afraid of power and tricks and court disputes. However, he really has no confidence in the battle on the battlefield and can't see the clues! He is very worried about Lu Zheng, because he has fallen due to power and tricks, and he still has a chance to turn things around, but once there is a mistake on the battlefield, he may only be able to return the horse and corpse!

Dai Gao is much calmer than Lu Shanchang. There is a pond of good fish in the Lu Mansion. Dai Gao is also very concerned about fishing. He is very happy with it. Facing Lu Shanchang's asking questions everywhere, Dai Gao sighed and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm going to tell you, your grandson, I didn't think about him back then! He was just a small sesame official, so I asked him to go to the northwest. In the chaotic situation in the northwest, were there few people sent by the court back then? How many people had good results? But Lu Zheng made a great success and made my reputation as a prime minister ruined the reputation of the great prime minister. If you ask me now, I can't see clearly. Song Naifeng is a hero, and Lu Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Who can win and who can lose?

If Song Naifeng wins, he might win the entire Dakang world, and Lu Zheng wins, it is probably the case. We bystanders, these old and unusable old guys, can no longer get involved, and can only wait quietly and watch the changes!"

Lu Shanchang said: "Dai Xiang, I talked to Xiaojing for a while yesterday. Xiaojing is very thoughtful because she said you said that the capital will never be able to defend, and Lu Zheng will be defeated in the Battle of Tanzhou. Now I am worried that this will become a reality..."

Dai Gao said: "So what? Those who are good at defeat are not in chaos. Isn't victory or defeat common in the matter on the battlefield? Lu Zheng won three games in a row before, Lu Zheng was still Lu Zheng, and Song Naifeng was still Song Naifeng. The two are still opponents and the war is still unstoppable!

But our Dakang and Beiyan have been fighting for forty years, and they still only own their own territory. Isn’t this common? Lu Zheng has his ideas and plans, but in terms of the battle of Tanzhou, he will not win anyway. If Tanzhou is lost, the capital is the last barrier. If Lu Zheng defends, he may fall into a completely passive situation."

Lu Shanchang frowned and sighed, saying, "If the north is smooth, Jiangnan can stabilize it. If the north is not smooth, those boys in Jiangnan will probably go to the house to remove the tiles!"

Dai Gao said quietly: "The south of the Yangtze River is not the key, the north is the key! Lu Zheng grasps this key by himself, what else can we care about? He goes to his life to break through. How much luck does he have is destined by God? Can we know?"

Lu Shanchang no longer had to say anything, so he had to slowly retreat. The door under his command reported that the river was flooded with water and the waterway was blocked. Moreover, the inner city of Jinling City was flooded with water and was not smooth by land. It is probably not suitable to go back to Jinling in a short period of time.

Lu Shanchang said: "God's will, how can I change it? I sent a letter to Jinling, saying that I had not recovered from the illness. In addition, because the river was blocked by the water, I may not be able to rush back in a short time. Let them all wait. I am not the prince's regent? The prince can issue orders to govern the government!"

At the end of the story, Lu Shanchang sneered, and his arrogance and conceit were not hidden in his laughter. Speaking of which, Lu Shanchang is not young anymore and has passed the age of obedience. However, for him, his whole life is not going well. It was not until recently that he held the power, became the prime minister, and controlled the power of the world.

The taste of power is a huge temptation for anyone. Whether it is a teenager or an old man, Lu Shanchang holds power in his hands. How could he be willing to let power fall? That is absolutely impossible!

Dai Gao saw the subtle situation in Jiangnan best, and he was the most open-minded. He was in power for more than ten years, and he had experienced the glory at that time. He also knew the most about Lu Zheng’s thoughts and plans to go to the north. He had reason to believe that Lu Zheng’s choice was correct, because the seemingly dangerous northern land was actually a way of life, and it was the most important and most critical way for Lu Zheng to realize his ideals and ambitions.

If Lu Zheng had been in Jiangnan, he would only rely on the power of the Lu family in Jiangnan. The Lu family in Jiangnan is rich and local, but can the Lu family have a demeanor and pattern with a broad mind?

What Lu Zheng needs is to conquer the world and to fight thousands of miles of worlds, so he jumped out. The battle between heroes has never been able to solve problems by relying on power and tricks. What he needs is real swords and guns, bloody battles on the battlefield, success and defeat of the king, and defeat of the enemy, and immediate sword.

How can the weak Southern Army transform into a kingly army? How can it be done without the tempering of blood and fire? Therefore, the war in the north is a disaster that Lu Zheng must overcome in a sense. If he can overcome it, it will be a vast sky. If he has not overcome it, will there be few such things from ancient times to the present?
