A guard hurried over and whispered something in Ruan Donglang's ear.

Ruan Donglang looked surprised on his face. He looked at the guard and frowned and asked, "What are he doing?"

The guard smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Zhongzang's temper is not unaware of what he wants to do. Who can stop him?"

Li Xun said in a low voice: "What are you fighting for?"

Ruan Donglang waved his hand, signaled the guard to retreat, and then said to Li Xun: "Ruan Zhongzang is here, he is Ruan Zhongchong's younger brother."

The Beijiang Association was formed by remnants of the Annan royal family. Because it has a strong political color, the upper and lower classes within the Beijiang Association are clearly distinguished and the system is strict. After the old president's death, although Ruan Zhongchun was mediocre, he was the eldest son, so he naturally inherited the position of president.

Ruan Zhongchun has a weak personality, mediocre qualifications, greedy for pleasure, and has no ambitions. He is a typical playboy.

In the previous meeting, as the president, Ruan Zhongchun made a clear statement and opposed the sending of troops, which led to many people not being able to and dare not express their opinions. However, Ruan Zhongchun strongly agreed to sending troops. For this reason, at the meeting, Ruan Zhongchun and Ruan Zhongchun brothers broke out in a fierce quarrel, and no one could convince anyone.

Li Xun asked, "Who is the one who is taking care of your Beijiang River in Luzhou?"

Nguyen Donglang said: "Nguyen Zhongzang."

Li Xun glanced at Ruan Donglang, picked up the teacup and drank water. Ruan Zhongzang suddenly arrived at this time, obviously having other thoughts.

A moment later, a man of medium figure, dark skin, about thirty years old, strode from the official road ahead, and he was the only one.

"Fourth Uncle."

Ruan Zhongzang walked closer, nodded at Ruan Donglang, and called out to Uncle Fourth.

Ruan Donglang looked at him coldly: "Are you following me?"

Ruan Zhongzang said in a quiet voice: "I just want to meet Li Xiangguo."

After saying that, Ruan Zhongzang looked at Li Xun and bowed and said, "Ruan Zhongzang met with Prime Minister Li."

Li Xun nodded, waved his hand and said, "Please sit down."

Ruan Zhong sat down aside and said bluntly: "I believe Li Xiangguo has already understood the Beijiang Association."

Li Xun said indifferently: "You come to me, probably not for chatting. Apart from your fourth uncle and me, please say anything directly."

"Li Xiangguo is indeed a quick talk."

Ruan Zhongzang nodded heavily and said firmly: "I have eight thousand people, six thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry in my hands. I can advance to Lingnan from Luzhou at any time."

Li Xun said: "The Lingnan war has not yet broken out and the outcome is not decided. In fact, the attitude of your Beijiang Association has not had much impact on the situation at present."

Ruan Zhongzang was obviously ready to use the troops in his hands as bargaining chips to negotiate with him. Li Xun immediately stopped this momentum. Before the war began, everything was unknown. Li Xun could not give Ruan Zhongzang any promises now.

Ruan Zhongzang said: "If the situation of the battle is clear, what price will it be if you were looking for me at that time?"

Li Xun was silent, and after a moment, he said, "What do you want?"

Ruan Zhongzang said in a deep voice: "After defeating Shihu, I will give me Mosey County. At most, I will lead the army to attack Annan. At that time, Mosey County will hand over and return it."

Li Xun narrowed his eyes. Mosey County is the westernmost county in Lingnan. With Wangzhu Mountain as the boundary, it is Zhan Po Kingdom after passing Wangzhu Mountain.

There is nothing extraordinary about Mersey County. It is a very dilapidated and poor county town with a population of less than 50,000. Ruan Zhongzang wanted this place with a very obvious intention. After defeating Shihu, he used Mersey County as a base to raise the banner of restoration, recruit surrender and rebel, gather strength, and wait until the time is ripe, then attack Zhan Po and restore his homeland.

Li Xun pondered the pros and cons.

In the past ten years, although there have been few wars between Zhan Po and the Jin Dynasty, the relationship between the two sides is still very tense. The reason is that after Zhang Fu usurped the Annan regime, he has not been recognized by the Jin Dynasty. For this reason, the two sides have been constantly fighting for many years, and the relationship has become very bad. This time, Shi Hu had ulterior motives. Zhan Po stationed troops to the border of Zhushan. What was the intention of it? It was obvious that he was preparing to take this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fuss. This time, the situation in Lingnan developed to the end, Zhan Po was very likely to send troops to Lingnan. Judging from the comprehensive situation, Zhao Baian's suppression of the rebellion may not be optimistic. If Ruan Zhongzang could send troops and enter Lingnan from Luzhou, it would be like inserting a sword from Shi Hu from behind, which could effectively restrain Shi Hu, which was very beneficial to the entire battle situation.

Putting Ruan Zhongzang in Mosey County is actually beneficial for the Jin Dynasty, which can effectively prevent Zhan Po's hostility, which is equivalent to installing an isolation belt between the two sides. Of course, this is also risky. Once Ruan Zhongzang becomes bigger and stronger, it is very likely to raise a tiger and eventually hurt himself.

Ruan Donglang said coldly to Ruan Zhongzang: "Ruan Zhongzang, the association did not agree to send troops. Are you thinking about the consequences if you are so good at making suggestions?"

"Some people have been used to comfortable life and have forgotten their national hatred and family hatred. They have forgotten it, Ruan Zhongzang, and I, don't forget it."

Ruan Zhongzang said in a deep voice: "Fourth Uncle, fifteen years ago, when we were in Luzhou, there were more than 20,000 Wu Zhuang people. After so many years, how many are left now? After waiting, all the people have run away. Even if we have more money, what's the use of it?"

Ruan Donglang said: "Then you can't make decisions without authorization. If you have any questions, let's talk about it later when you go back and explain the truth thoroughly. The president's meeting agreed."

The Beijiang Association has always been a collective decision, and everyone discusses everything together. The minority obeys the majority. Now, there are many differences within the Beijiang Association regarding the sending troops in Lingnan. Before the situation is clear, if the situation is not clear, it is likely that it will be the cannon fodder of the Jin Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that, in the previous meeting, Ruan Zhongchun opposed the sending troops. Many people, including Ruan Donglang, did not have the fundamental reason to insist on it.

Now, Ruan Zhongzang directly found Li Xun without the internal resolution of the Beijiang Association and discussed the issue of sending troops. Obviously, once the conditions were agreed, Ruan Zhongzang was preparing to bypass the Beijiang Association headquarters and directly lead the army to enter Lingnan from Luzhou to participate in the war. This was tantamount to breaking apart with the Beijiang Association and betrayal.

"Ruan Zhongchun is a fool, weak husband, do you know what Ruan Zhongchun said to me before I came? He was actually planning to disband all the soldiers in Luzhou and completely cut off the idea of ​​those who have the restoration of their homeland."

Speaking of this, Ruan Zhongzang's expression was already cold and frosty: "If he is not my elder brother, I will kill him immediately."

Ruan Donglang slapped the table, stood up and pointed at Ruan Zhongzang, and said angrily: "You don't know anything about the situation in Lingnan. Just take people over here. What good results can you eat?"

Ruan Zhongzang shook his head: "Fourth uncle, half a year ago, left Senator Zhang Zhicheng sent someone to secretly meet Ruan Zhongchun, willing to respond from the inside and welcome the Annan royal family back to restore the country, but Ruan Zhongchun refused."

"Why have I never heard Ruan Zhongchun say about this?"

Ruan Donglang looked shocked on his face. He had never heard of what Ruan Zhongzang said.
