"If you want to be busy, you can't finish this much work even if you are exhausted." Zhu Ming smiled and shook his head, saying, "So, I hand over all the affairs to my subordinates and supervise and inspect them yourself. You must know that this is also 90% of the thought. We old guys are there, so we can help him train people, leave early, and let him do it earlier."

"That's the reason." Zheng Ruxin nodded in agreement and said, "Then cultivate more talents and support this stall. Then, we can find a quiet place to enjoy the happiness."

Zhu Ming nodded vigorously and said, "Seventh sister has just arrived, so let's go back to the city to rest first. When my second brother comes back, let him play with you. Well, he was busy before and needs rest and play and relax."

Zheng Ruxin's heart moved, but nothing appeared on her face. She did not comment and was considered a default.

The rain gradually became lighter, and a layer of fog was floating with extremely slender raindrops. The dark clouds rose and the white light shone on the hills.

This is Damokou, the mountainous area in the western part of Yizhou, and it is the central stronghold of Liu Erzu, the Red Coat Army. Since the beginning of the incident, Liu Erzu's troops have developed rapidly and moved to Yi and Zizhou, with tens of thousands of troops. The generals include Huo Yi, Peng Yibin, Xia Quan, Shi Si, etc., which are one of the three main forces of Shandong Red Coat Army.

At this time, the main force of the Jin army was attacking Yang Aner with all his strength. Liu Erzu's army occupied many counties in Yi and Zizhou, forcing the Jin army to retreat to the city and rely on the strong city to resist. Therefore, Liu Erzu and others did not realize that the crisis would come within half a year, and it was the time to be full of ambition.

"Tianyou, what do you think?" Liu Erzu sat in the middle, listened to the story of Xuanmao Cheng Kuan, and turned to ask the staff officer Cui Tianyou.

Cui Tianyou thought for a while and said, "What is the Red Turban Army? What else is Meng Jiucheng? I have never heard of Beizhi. I think it is the rebel army that has been in trouble recently. I only occupied the two counties and was a little lost. If I want to unite with us, wouldn't I be on an equal footing with the general? It can be seen that it is not a person who can achieve great things."

Liu Erzu also felt the same way, thinking that to unite is to be inferior to one's own status. If you invest in the subordinate, it is acceptable.

He was still pondering, and someone below expressed his opinion, which was Cheng Fu, the ambassador of military recruitment. "I think that no matter whether he is a person who can accomplish great things or not, he will send someone to submit a letter to express goodwill and also express his reputation. So, can the general below negotiate with him? In this case, the general will not fall into his status and may have some results in joint combat. Moreover, the general has shown magnanimity and respect for the wise and humble men, and may have the opportunity to win over the surname Meng in the future."

"Well, it makes sense." Liu Erzu slightly pointed his head, and it was difficult to make the final decision.

As Liu Erzu's deputy, Huo Yi coughed dryly when he saw Liu Erzu's eyes coming, and said, "I agree with Ambassador Cheng's opinion. In the future, if there are many friends, there may be multiple helpers. The general does not have to be condescending, just send a general to contact him."

Liu Erzu trusted Huo Yi very much, and nodded and said, "General Huo, then do you think who is more suitable to send?"

Huo Yi looked at the simple map hanging on the wall and said, "There are General Peng and General Shi near Yizhou. Beizhi think that it is okay for both of them to send each other, and one master and one deputy can be done."

Liu Erzu thought for a while and said, "They will focus on General Peng, General Shi as the deputy, and Ambassador Cheng as the counselor. We will negotiate with Meng, this, Meng Jiucheng."

"I accept the orders of humble duties." Cheng Fu stood up and bowed and accepted the orders.

…………

The quiet heat steeped on the earth, shining, swaying leisurely and gently, like fish swimming in the stream.

It was already midsummer in June, and more than a month seemed to be peaceful, but Meng Jiucheng seemed to have heard the sound of the war drum horn coming from the north.

Yang Aner of Laizhou was about to be defeated. Although the main force of the Jin army then turned to attack Li Quan, they also divided their troops to recover many prefectures and counties. Li Guosan of Mizhou would be defeated and died, and the Red Turban Army would face the Jin army directly.

Although Yang Miaozhen and Li Quan led the remnants of the army to retreat to Moqi Mountain in history, and after the two armies joined, they were the mountain kings here for two years, Meng Jiucheng did not dare to take it lightly. After all, his ideal was not just to occupy the mountain and become king.

When the messengers sent everywhere finally got a response from Liu Erzu, Meng Jiucheng was in joy and hope.

If we can fight in cooperation with Liu Erzu's troops, it is very likely to lift or reduce the threat to the south. Meng Jiucheng can concentrate his army and fight the north with all his strength.

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng quickly explained the work of the institute, leaving behind more than a dozen small mirrors that slowly reacted with mercury and tiny, as well as other projects that had improved, and led people to Qingyun Town. At the same time, he sent an order, ordering Xiao Ying and Han Shouzhong's troops to move south to assemble.

Qingyun Town is located at the junction of Junan County and Linshu County. It is occupied by the Red Turban Army and Peng Yibin, the troops of Liu Erzu. The choice to negotiate here was also taking into account the interests of both parties.

"Don't hold too much hope!" As if feeling Meng Jiucheng's energetic mood immediately, the soft girl poured cold water on him at the right time. "I think Liu Erzu is a false story, and there will be no substantial results in the consultation."

Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes. Although he had such a guess in his heart, would he be okay to dispel his enthusiasm like this?

"However, Peng Yibin is still a good person, so it's good to make friends with him." The soft girl changed her mind and gave her some comfort.

Slap and give me a sweet date?

Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "Don't be deceived by the things in the book. Oh, Li Quan transformed into an ambitious man. Peng Yibin resisted the Jin Dynasty and refused Meng, and loyalty and righteousness were the most important. Things are not that simple. I would rather be a Jianghuai ghost than a Jin Guomin. Who said this?"

"You have a natural disgust towards the Southern Song court!" The soft girl paused for a moment, and had to agree with Meng Jiucheng's opinion, "The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty is indeed not very good, and your strategy to stay away from it is right."

Meng Jiucheng smiled bitterly and said, "That's what happened in the future. Now our army is lonely and we must unite with other rebels. If Liu Erzu can support it, there will be no need for heavy troops to the west; if he can severely damage Yi, Pi, and Haizhou Jin army with Peng Yibin and Shi Si, there will be no major worries in the south."

The soft girl seemed to be thinking, and after a while, she said, "Can they believe it in vernacular? You have to pay something or let them maintain your strength to truly fight together, right?"

"Yes!" Meng Jiucheng responded and gently stroked the stubborn girl's head, "As long as they can send troops to cooperate, our army will fight the main force and pay more casualties. Yes, girl."

Zhan Ya was well trained by Meng Jiucheng during this period, so she was not annoyed when touching it. Instead, she raised her head and sniffed, looking very comfortable.
