There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 492 Three Ways Together Out of Pingjiangnan ([-])
Li Chu fell in love with Xinjian County.

He regards the government office in Xinjian County as his own home. He doesn't even want to go out to eat. Instead, he prepares his own pots, pans, ingredients, etc., and sets out in the kitchen of the government office. Not only does he prepare his own Meals, even meals for Changtong’s family are included.

Since becoming the commander of the Qilin Army, Li Chu seldom cooks by himself.

I occasionally make it for my family when I go home, especially after arriving in Jiangnan, I haven't touched the kitchen utensils much.

This time in Xinjian County, Li Chu seemed to have become an ordinary person. It seemed that the changes in the world had nothing to do with Li Chu. He cooked and made tea every day, and called Changtong to play chess with him. Even Li Chu occasionally sat by and watched Chang Tong's official business.

Li Chu is very leisurely like this, but Changtong is suffering beyond words.

Especially looking at the twenty fully armed Qilin Army soldiers beside Li Chu.

Yes, fully armed.

Flying Xinjian alone this time is also a very dangerous move, so the [-] Qilin Army soldiers brought this time were carefully selected to be very brave, and Ding Wu also followed Li Chu.

The twenty soldiers all wore titanium alloy armor, which was made of the same material as the armor Li Chu wore. It was customized from the system and had very strong protection.

However, the armor is worn inside, and the unicorn uniform of the Qilin Army is still worn outside.

In terms of weapons, in addition to the standard embroidery spring knife, compound crossbow, and night vision goggles, each person is also equipped with two military multifunctional daggers, a shield, a spear, and some emergency medical drugs.Moreover, these twenty soldiers had undergone battlefield first aid training before setting off.

In case Chang Tong really chooses an extreme behavior, in case the situation deteriorates, each of these twenty soldiers can shoulder the responsibility of guarding, and the colleagues can also act as a temporary medical team, so that they will not be affected by the situation at that time. There was no one to treat the injury.

This is Li Chu's consideration.

But in Chang Tong's eyes, there is really suffering.

How could he not understand Li Chu's intention?

Even if they couldn't understand it, the distress papers that were handed in front of them all told one thing, the Qilin Army was going to do something big.

During the few days when Li Chu was leisurely visiting the government office in Changtong in Xinjian County, the 15 Haining Army led by Yang Zhi entered Jiangnan West Road from Guixi in Xinzhou.On Yang Zhi's side, he also took the imperial decree from the imperial court to confer Li Chu as the Jiangnan Privy Envoy. The content of the imperial decree stated that in order to prevent Jiangnan from being disrupted by malicious people, the Jiangnan Privy Envoy was specially ordered to lead the military and political power in Jiangnan.

In addition to this imperial decree, there is also a handwriting written by Jiangnan transfer envoy Chang Tong, which is printed by Chang Tong's transfer envoy.

The content of the handwriting is to ask all cities and counties to fully cooperate with the Qilin Army to rectify the south of the Yangtze River, and all cities and counties must not interfere.

The imperial edict + Changtong's handwriting directly confused all the officials on Jiangnan West Road.

Completely bewildered.

This, what is going on in the court?

If you want to say that this edict is a forgery, then the printing must be correct, right?

You want to say that Chang Tong's handwriting is also a forgery. Chang Tong's handwriting is difficult to imitate. Many people are very doubtful about this matter. Can you not doubt it? How could the court do such a big thing? Faint decree?
This matter is too big, and they have to proceed with caution.

Many people even took out the letters they had with Chang Tong at the beginning, compared the handwriting, and looked at Chang Tong's seal. It was exactly the same. It was indeed written by Chang Tong. The crowd was in a mess in the wind.

What happened at the court?

But in the face of the Qilin Army's pressure on the situation, they are either cooperative or not.

So someone wrote to Changtong again to ask whether the matter was true or not, but the letter was like a bull in mud, and Xinjian didn't respond at all.

In the end, these Zhizhou and county magistrates had to hand over all the garrison power of each county to the control of the Qilin Army in the face of the imperial decree and the letter from Changtong, and the command of some forbidden troops and Xiang troops on Jiangnan West Road also followed the Three Kingdoms. There is a document on the other side of the Yamen, and these soldiers obey the command of the Qilin Army without hesitation.

Fuzhou, Jianchang, Qianzhou, Nan'an Army, Jizhou, Yuanzhou, Linjiang Army, and Junzhou were all easily taken over by the Haining Army led by Yang Zhi.

Although everything has twists and turns, it is also considered safe.

At least Changtong's handwriting was very useful in the process of accepting Jiangnan West Road. They may question the imperial edict, but they will not question Changtong's letter.

At least when there is no response from Xinjian, they will not take the initiative to object.

Moreover, if the Haining army wanted to enter Jiangnan West Road, they would come from the East Road first, and it was impossible to directly control Hongzhou. It was precisely because of this that everything went very smoothly in the end.

Some people objected, but in the end the arms couldn't twist the thighs.

Every time the Haining army led by Yang Zhi controlled a state, it would notify Li Chu, who was building a new county, via satellite phone.

After two-thirds of the prefectures and counties on Jiangnan West Road were under the control of Qilin Army, Chang Tong couldn't sit still any longer and came directly to Li Chu.

Today's Jiangnan West Road is only left with Hongzhou, the capital of the West Road, and Xingguo Junzhou in the north.

"General Li, are you really planning to rebel?"

Chang Tongping retreated and came to see Li Chu alone. He asked straight to the point what Li Chu's intentions were.Although Changtong is in Xinjian County, he is also aware of what happened on Jiangnan West Road in the past few days. Li Chu did not send anyone to intercept the letters sent to Changtong by the county magistrates and prefectures, so Changtong received them. But he didn't say much, he just stayed here and did nothing.

At first, I really thought that Li Chu came to Xinjian County as a guest.

But after the letter of inquiry was sent from Fuzhou, Chang Tong had already guessed a little of Li Chu's intention.

Changtong, thinking.

He is struggling.

Things have reached this point, and a choice indeed needs to be made.

Li Chu flew to Xinjian County alone as a guest, showing Chang Tong's sincerity.This is also now, if he had taken down Li Chu half a year ago, and now that the Qilin army has gained power, they have taken control of Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road, and the last exercise made Changtong even more I saw the weapons and strength of the Qilin Army.

The more clearly he understands, the easier it is for Chang Tong to analyze the situation and make judgments.

Da Song, can it really be done?
Before doing it, he didn't dare to think about it and would not think about it.

Now that the army has arrived outside Hongzhou, if I don't make a decision at this time, perhaps what awaits me is the Haining army forcibly entering Xinjian County, and everything will be gone by then.

"No, I did not rebel, and the Qilin Army will not rebel either!"

Not to rebel?

Your army is like this, why don't you rebel?

"Please give me a clear explanation, General!"

Li Chudao: "You will continue to be responsible for Jiangnan West Road. Our Qilin Army will not interfere with any of your government affairs. Not only will we not interfere, but our Qilin Army will also transport a large amount of materials to build Jiangnan West Road. A transportation railway will be opened here, which will stimulate the economy of the entire Jiangnan West Road."

"What do I need to do?" Changtong asked.

　PS: I went out with my friends in the afternoon, and I couldn’t postpone some activities, so I didn’t come back until evening.
