Lu Qiming stroked the beard under his jaw and thought about solutions.

The Privy Council has determined to take an offensive against Heshuo. Now Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi are reorganizing Daliang surrendered and fugitive troops in Puzhou for reorganization and training. This should be a force used by the prince to conquer Heshuo.

Of course, the Pinglu Army is bound to be conquered by Heshuo. There is no reason to put the Pinglu Army behind only one newly formed army.

According to the news from the Privy Council, the conquest of Heshuo may be launched within one or two months. Although the target this time is directed at the three states of Dicangde, it is probably not only that. If you want to fight against the Khitans, passive defense will never be defeated, and there will be huge losses.

If you want to take the initiative, you must take the initiative and not let the Khitans manipulate the situation.

Therefore, in his letter to Lu Qiming, Wang Miao also clearly instructed that he should mobilize all parties to consider the long-term battle with the Khitans from multiple channels, especially the infiltration and envelopment of the Khitans' rears. For example, the Marines and the Xi people should be taken into consideration.

"Your brothers have people from Pingzhou and Yingzhou? The people of the Marine and the people of Xi?"

"When I go back to the governor, there are all Xi people, the Marine people, the mature Jurchens, and the Han people. In fact, there are more Han people in Yingzhou, Pingzhou and Jizhou, but they are mixed together, giving people the impression that there are more Hu people and savages." The strong man responded: "In fact, Wuwen Hall had recruited dozens of people from my brothers last year, including Xi people, Jurchens and Han people, most of them were from there. Later, after they were recruited, there was no news, but it was probably because of the other arrangements above."

Lu Qiming's heart was also moved. It seemed that the Privy Council had already prepared. Wuwentang began to penetrate Yingzhou in a targeted manner last year, Pingzhou and Jizhou, which must be focused on fighting with the Khitans. The prince was full of ambitions and ambitions.

"Wuwen Hall has the task of Wuwen Hall, and it does not conflict with our plans." Lu Qiming shook his head, "We must start two things now. One is that you must collect Luo and train the water power in the East China Sea, Bohai and Wuhuhai as soon as possible, so that the prince can use it for us. The prince is not hesitant to be a wife and a cute child! This matter must be seized and not delayed. The other thing is that you must arrange reliable people, especially brothers with relatives, friends and connections in Yingzhou, Pingzhou and Jizhou. You must be smart and let them go back and contact us. The Khitans have a very extensive governance behind them. Apart from tax collection, they basically don't care about anything. In some tribes of the Xi people and the Marine people, especially in the mountains and forests, the Khitans cannot control them at all. This is our opportunity."

The strong man showed a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, "Governor, it's easy to find people. A small part of my subordinates are poor people coming over there. I also understand the Governor's meaning, which is to pull up a group of people behind the Khitans, but it's hard to pull up a group of people there. Food, weapons, armor, all cost a lot. I have to think of these people before they are willing to use it for us."

"Well, I know this. The prince and the Privy Council have explained to me. The expenses in this regard will be fully guaranteed. You can first select a group of people under your hands, sifting them well, and selecting some suitable ones. There may be some simple training at that time, and then letting them go. As for money and materials, they are all right, and they will make arrangements." Lu Qiming nodded, "This matter must be tight, but it cannot be ignored. I will arrange for people to discuss with you, come up with a plan, and slowly plan it."

***************

After sending the other party away, Lu Qiming slowly calmed down and considered this matter.

This matter was fought for when he met the prince.

With the addition of Zhu Mao, Wang Shouxin, Liu Yansi and Shang Yunxi, more and more people under the prince were available.

Xuzhou's territory is constantly expanding. Chai Yong and Tian Chunlai joined forces to capture Chuzhou City in just three days. Needless to think, Chai Yong will definitely be recorded in great achievements. It will be a matter of time before he can be promoted to the governor of a certain town. Xu Ziqing and Kou Wenli joined forces to attack Yangzhou. Although Meikuang was led by Meikuang, Meikuang had already served as the Privy Councilor. Most of the credit for this on-site command would fall on Xu Ziqing and Kou Wenli.

In a battle against Chu Yang, many people will be promoted and made money, and will be granted a wife and a cute son. The two states of Chu and Yang are so rich that the princes have always been heroic and generous, so they will definitely have a lot of rewards.

For Lu Qiming, money doesn’t make much sense. What he needs is to make contributions and prove his position in Xuzhou.

Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin led the Zibo Qing army and the Wuning army to fight against the Shatu people in the Central Plains, but it may not be a good place. Judging from the attitude of the Privy Council and the prince, Xuzhou will not fight against the Shatu people for the time being. On the contrary, the battlefield in Xuzhou can only be at the north and south ends, especially the war in the north is even more intense.

Therefore, Lu Qiming did not think that he was placed in the position of governor of Pinglu Town, but was idle. On the contrary, this was a great opportunity.

He always thought he was a well-deserved general of the Northern Expedition. Of course, he knew that the leader would definitely be a Privy Councilor as the commander. Whether it was Yang Kan or Wang Miao, it didn't matter. Those who really commanded the battle in the front would have to be the governor of the town. However, he did not expect that Shang Yunxi suddenly emerged and surrendered to the prince, and also gained such an opportunity, which forced him to admit that Shang Yunxi had chosen a good opportunity.

Even Zhu Mi gave Shang Yunxi as his deputy, which was enough to show that the Privy Council still valued Shang Yunxi and the Daliang surrendered troops very much. However, Lu Qiming was not ready to give up his position as the chief general of the Northern Expedition for so long?

So he had to show himself twelve points of strength to prove to the generals that Lu Qiming's position is beyond doubt.

Wang Miao had discussed with him a long time ago that the battle with the Khitans would be protracted, and the princes even attached great importance to the Khitans more than the Shatuans, so the battle in Heshuo was only the first step. In the future, Xuzhou would definitely launch a full-scale war with the Khitans in Hebei, and even regain Lulong Town and even further away Yingzhou Hepingzhou, Andong Protectorate, Raole Protectorate, and Mohe Protectorate. All of these must be included, that is, to restore the glory of the former prosperous Tang Dynasty.

This vision made Lu Qiming excited. He didn't know when this day would be, but he felt that it was not impossible from the powerful momentum that Xuzhou showed now.

In just a few years, the prince was able to lead his army to sweep the entire Huainan Road and Henan Road. Now the power is directly aimed at Hebei Road. Even Daliang was the strongest at the peak of Daliang, which is not as good as the current Xuzhou General Administration. Who can do it in such a short time? Tian Khan can't do it, right?

So how should I prove myself in this group? In any case, Lu Qiming would not waste such an opportunity, an opportunity to prove himself on Hebei Road, he swears!

With the support of Ping Lu Jun, Lu Qiming believed that he could do it, which was better than Shang Yunxi, Wang Shouxin and others!

These East Pirates now have hope. They also long to make contributions and hope to be a wife and cute son. But for them, in the inland rivers, lakes and swamps, they have to compare with the northern naval army adapted from Juye water bandits. They are not familiar with the land, and they are even more incomparable with the Chaohu naval army and the Huai River naval army in the south.

Their only advantage is that they are familiar with the people in the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the Wuhu Sea, and they also have a lot of pity with the rich and wealthy families in these coastal areas. This is their strength.

Especially in the coastal areas of Yingzhou, Pingzhou and Jizhou, there are many Hu people and savages coexisting in these places, and many of them are only unable to survive from these places and then they are involved in the pirates.

Now give them a title and righteousness. They can sneak back, dig out their original connections, and form a team of people. As long as they have money, food, and weapons, there is nothing they can't do.

At that time, the Khitans will find that they thought the bases they regarded as the rear would be filled with beacons everywhere.

This war will not take a short time. Lu Qiming estimated that it will last at least three to five years. Especially if he wants to completely eliminate the Khitans, he may really need to make great efforts to completely eliminate them from the root. He must include all the Khitans' followers such as the Michele, the Xi people, and the Shiwei, and they must be completely sinicized. If the Khitans can be sinicized, they will naturally be better. If they cannot, then there will be no place for them to stand in the Middle Land.

***************

"You mean that the Liu family in Nanyang also wants to marry Jiang Feng?" Bai Mulan's flashing eyes showed a hint of curiosity, and her gray-green pupils flashed with a crystal luster. "It seems that Nanyang was also scared by the Shatu people. Is it possible that the only Xuzhou family in the Central Plains can compete with the Shatu people? But what does this have to do with us?"

The attendant coughed dryly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Bai Chengshou had already returned to Wuzhou with the envoy and discussed what was going on. As the leader of the servant who stayed, he knew, but the Princess Mulan didn't know.

However, Princess Mulan was happy to stay. Everything in Xuzhou made her very curious and fascinated. Bai Mulan was overwhelmed by the customs, customs and habits of the Han people, as well as their food and culture, so she was willing to stay for a while.

During this period, Bai Mulan also traveled around Xuzhou. Now she is not willing to stay in Xuzhou. She proposed to go to Shouzhou to see what Xuzhou's prosperous commercial city looks like and to appreciate the scenery of Huainan. If she knew that Yangzhou was also negotiating the surrender at this time, she would definitely ask to visit Yangzhou. The scenery of Jiangdong has long been famous, and even if she had heard of it outside the Great Wall.
