The cold wind in the north has slowed down all the forces. The Donghai people are dormant and licking their wounds, while the Ning and Xuan armies are more focused on accumulating strength for the war after the spring. They hope that they can completely resolve it next year.

The southern border of the Central Plains has been less affected by the war and is relatively peaceful. Deng Ang, who was in the old capital, was lying leisurely on the rocking chair, holding a purple clay pot, and brought the spout to his mouth to take a sip of tea.

Enjoy, this posture was learned from him and His Majesty the Emperor. In the early years when he was working as a bodyguard for His Majesty the Emperor, he often saw His Majesty looking like this when he was relaxed.

"It's so comfortable!" Deng Ang couldn't help but sigh after swallowing a sip of tea.

"Mr. Deng, the old man wrote a letter two days ago, hoping that we can provide more grain, grass and ordnance to be sent to the Jianghuai Bureau this year. What do you think?" Mao Yi, the general manager of Guangdong and Guangxi Province who has been waiting for Deng Ang, said with a smile, but this Mao Yi's

But there was no such respect in his eyes.

"General Manager Mao, it's up to you to handle this matter. The Jianghuai side has been in a tight situation, so it doesn't hurt to give it to them a little bit more. But one thing you remember is that our Southern Bureau is not a food supervisor." Deng Ang knew Mao Yi.

I have always had a lot of opinions about myself.

Since Yu Geng was transferred to the General Administration, the status of the general manager of these two provinces has been getting lower and lower. Although Yu Geng has a hot temper, he still cares about face to some extent, but Deng Ang is different. He holds military power, and his father is the current

As the prime minister, the Deng family is extremely powerful, even the Yan family and the Tan family will avoid it.

Let's see that even though Zhuge Chen is the General Staff Officer of the Southern Bureau, he has always treated Deng Ang with great courtesy. Thinking of this, Mao Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed. The wind in the court has never stopped. He himself is one of the first batch.

For students from the two academies, he, the general manager of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, is nothing more than

To catch the duck, he knew that his ability and wisdom were average, and being able to serve as the general manager of the province was just a long-term and reliable recognition from the court, because the entire Daxuan knew that these two provinces of Guangdong and Guangdong were very important to the Southern Bureau.

It's just an accessory.

The two talked for a while and Mao Yi left. Seeing Mao Yi's figure disappear, Deng Ang immediately changed his image, sat up, his expression became serious, and then two people walked out of the house, one was

Zhuge Chen, Chief of General Staff of the Southern Bureau, and Tu Shan Xiyuan.

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Deng, why are you degrading yourself like this? Your Majesty won't care."

"That's easy to say. After Mr. Gu left the Chancellery, my father had a very difficult time. According to my wishes, I wanted to make my father old, but His Majesty wouldn't let me go!" Deng Ang looked distressed.

"Old Mr. Deng was born from a dragon. Now there are only a few people left in the entire court. Your Majesty will not be unaware of old Mr. Deng's difficulties. It's just that your Majesty doesn't want to hand over the chancellery just yet. Let's wait a little longer."

Tushan Xiyuan was not polite, he sat down casually and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Oh! Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. How are the preparations going?" Deng Ang asked, changing the subject.

"The grain and fodder were sent to Jianghuai ten days ago, and Mr. Xuan's letter of thanks has arrived, but after all, do we need to embarrass Lao Mao so much?" Tu Shan Xiyuan has always reserved his opinion on this matter.

"Old Mao is not a high-spirited person, but he is a disciple of the Yingshuai. He has always followed the Yingshuai over the years, and he and Ye Bohuai also have a teacher-student relationship. Our southern border is actually the most dangerous place. Be careful.

Okay." Deng Ang was not angry, but explained patiently.

"General Manager Song and General Staff Xiahou are currently stationed in the Yongzhou area. Their recent letters also said that South Vietnam is relatively stable, but the South China Sea Jiaolong has been intercepted many times at sea. Fortunately, under the command of Mr. Zhong, the losses are still considerable.

Within the control range, all

Both Mr. Deng and I feel that the Donghai people have plans to land in the near future." Zhuge Chen said with a frown. He has been working on a combat plan against the Donghai people since he came here. As long as the southern gate is stable, next year's major counterattack will not be possible.

It works.

"I don't understand military matters, so I have to rely on you two. Now that you have a plan, I will do my best to help you. However, isn't it a bit bad if we don't report it?" Tu Shan Xiyuan raised a new question.

.

"The worst case scenario is that I'll be dismissed from my post! I'd rather have me fight on the front line!" Zhuge Chen looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"You can do it, your father is still the chief minister of the cabinet, and your brother Yanque is a popular figure around the prince. Your Majesty will not dismiss me easily unless we are defeated." Deng Ang said confidently.

"Jieshi Port has been surrendered. Are you sure that people from the East China Sea will land at Jieshi Port? Is Qinzhou Port really that safe?" Tu Shan Xiyuan boldly questioned.

"Little God of Wealth, President Song and General Staff Xiahou are not made of clay. Qinzhou Port will be guarded by them without any big problems. The people of Donghai are not stupid either. The Zhong sisters have always maintained a hostile attitude towards them, even in South Vietnam.

The imperial court and

They have cooperation and do not dare to invade the border easily, so only Jieshi Port is the first choice for the East China Sea people. As long as we lure them ashore and then notify the South China Sea Dragon to block the maritime fortress, we can make it impossible for them to come back!" Deng

Ang was a little excited.

"Well, yes! The East China Sea people have been ravaging our Central Plains for many years. They have now reached the point where they have run out of fuel. The secret letter from the National Security Agency also mentioned that the East China Sea mainland is no longer able to mobilize troops and horses. The East China Sea people on the southern border sea

This is their last strength in the south. In fact, the Donghai people in the South China Sea are suffering more and are more anxious than us. We are just doing this to give them a relief." Zhuge Chen continued.

Tu Shan Xiyuan spread his hands, then stood up and stretched, and said: "Okay, you two can decide. I will go to the General Manager's Mansion first and stand on the same front with General Manager Mao to 'resist' General Manager Deng."

Identity, hahaha!”

"You kid! You still have the nerve to accuse us two of us. Didn't you come up with this idea that day? If the God of Wealth had a letter in front of us, we would dare to believe you, a fox!" Deng Ang scolded with a smile.

Although the military has some different voices in Daxuan, they have always been consistent with the outside world. It is not like the constant intrigues and party disputes in the court. But whether it is the military or the court, the Tushan brothers are special beings. They are

Yunmeng's old master had made great efforts when His Majesty unified the south of the Yangtze River, but their brothers had always followed His Majesty's lead. At the same time, the two brothers were even more important in terms of property.

Daxuan is second to none, so whether it is the court or the military, there are many who sneer at them, and there are also a few who treat them with courtesy. They don't care. They are willing to be His Majesty's hawks, His Majesty, and Daxuan.

They worked hard to raise money and treated the people fairly well. Therefore, whether in the court, the military, or even among the people, the Tushan clan always regarded them as the God of Wealth.

Seeing Tushan Xiyuan leaving, Zhuge Chen slowly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Deng, I will leave for Hongyang tomorrow."

Deng Ang took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Okay! You can go ahead. As long as you successfully allow people from the East China Sea to land, the South China Sea Jiaolong side will immediately block the sea channel. By then, the pressure on your side will be great, be careful!

"

"For many years on the battlefield, this is nothing. I will persist with all my strength. Once your army arrives, we can immediately encircle these bastards. If there is no war in the south, we can better support the north."

"That's right, but having said that, our Southern Bureau has suffered a lot in fighting against foreign enemies in recent years. President Xuan and the others have made great contributions. We have been making small fuss all day long. The officers and soldiers in the army have complained a lot. Many people

They have requested orders to go north many times."

"Hahaha! Sixty thousand Donghai people plus hundreds of thousands of servants are enough for brothers to eat. They are soldiers! Making contributions and becoming famous is what they want in life. As the head and head, Mr. Ye can't help but give it.

Don’t they all give an explanation?”

Zhuge Chen secretly took people out of Jiuchenjing. His itinerary was kept secret except for Deng Ang and the people from the National Security Agency. Even Mao Yi, the general manager of Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces, knew nothing about it. He only knew that Zhuge Chen was out of the city for inspection.

This is normal behavior. As the Chief of General Staff of the Southern Bureau, he has always been at odds with Deng Ang. He must not be willing to stay in the old capital and deal with Deng Ang. Zhuge Chen has always preferred to live in the Guangnan camp.

However, Mao Yi always felt a little stuffed in his heart, because he found that no matter how disharmonious Zhuge Chen and Deng Ang were, they still kept a distance from him, and Song Ji and Xia Houxin were far away in Yongzhou. Many times he wanted to win over the army.

People in Fang were ignored, and people in the military were very repulsive to him. The only one who didn't reject him and even came to his door was Tu Shan Xiyuan.

But who is Tu Shan Xiyuan? He is a businessman. Although he is in the military, he is only in charge of logistics. He has nothing to do with war or anything like that.

"General Manager Mao, what do you think Deng Ang wants to do? The food, grass and weapons accumulated in my Logistics Department are almost moldy. He doesn't want to find me, but he wants to embarrass you!" Tu Shan Xiyuan said pretending to be angry.

"Mr. Tushan, calm down. Mr. Deng is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Bureau, and his father is our prime minister. He doesn't look down on us. I think if it weren't for the friendship between him and Mr. Xuan,

He won’t give you even this food and grass!”

Tu Shan Xiyuan laughed wildly in his heart. After half a year, Mao Yi's fox tail finally showed up. Don't be anxious. To catch a fox, you have to take your time. So he suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be angry: "Young Master

I don’t care. If I’m pressed, I’ll write a letter to my brother and cut off his supply. When the time comes, you, Manager Mao, will have to cooperate with me!”

Mao Yi rolled his eyes and whispered: "Mr. Tushan, is it not easy for Shangshu Tushan?"

Tu Shan Xiyuan was immediately alert. This Mao Yi may have exceeded their judgment. They originally thought that Mao Yi was just because he was a member of the "Flame" organization, but now this attitude does not seem to be the case.

Tushan Xiyuan adjusted his mood and said with a gloomy face: "Although I am a minister, you also know that Your Majesty is only using our Tushan clan's business. Many times, I feel less comfortable than before."

Mao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said it, and asked nervously: "Have you never thought about contacting the old people?"

Tu Shan Xiyuan was speechless.

The war in the southern border went smoothly without any surprises. Everything developed as expected by Deng Ang and others. As expected, the Donghai people launched a landing immediately after defeating Jieshi Port. They still used the old method of letting the servant army go first. They were in

back,

The Guangnan camp also responded immediately. Zhuge Chen set up a defense line in Hongyang and fought a battle with the servant army. This servant army was originally enslaved by the Donghai people and had no fighting power. In just ten days, it was defeated.

All were defeated and surrendered.

Upon seeing this, the main force of the Eastern Navy wanted to hold on to Jieshi Port and ask for help from the sea. However, when they retreated to Jieshi Port, they realized that they had been tricked. All the naval troops and horses outside Jieshi Port were attacked by Nanhai dragons and sank in the sea.

On the sea, just when they were about to collect civilian ships at the port, they discovered that all the Xuan troops were outside, and Deng Ang arrived.

This expulsion battle in Guangnan went very smoothly, and there was not even any strange splash. If there is any difference, it is that Deng Ang and Zhuge Chen refused the surrender of the Donghai people after encircling Jieshi Port. After five years,
Chapter completed!
