Jiang Zhong did not expect Xiao Rang to mention the rise of the Jin Kingdom. I am afraid that there were not many people in the Song Dynasty who could see through this. No one in the civil and military dynasty could see through it. He could see through it because he came from later generations. This saint-hand scholar was too powerful. It seems that the Water Margin underestimated this saint-hand scholar and portrayed him as a copywriter who imitated other people's handwriting.

Seeing that the Grand Official Jiang did not speak, Xiao Rang continued: "The Privy Councilor Tong Guan led the army to fight against Xixia for many years on the Western Front. It can be said that he was deeply loved by the holy people, and the powerful generals under his command were the strongest combat force of the Song Dynasty. Tong Guan's greatest ambition was to become a prince. Not to mention whether you can fight for it or not, and even if you want to win the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and even if you make unparalleled achievements in the end, Tong Guan's eunuch would let you go, and the one you received at that time might be a disaster of death."

"I want to seal the sky." Jiang Zhong stood up, and he said domineeringly: "Du, a marquis of Wanhu, could not stop me. Now we are about to usher in a huge change. We should be domineering, wielding the world, and giving guidance to the country. If we want to realize our ambitions, we should see the gods and kill the gods and see the demons and kill the demons."

"Xiao is willing to serve the lord until death." Xiao Rang knelt in front of Jiang Zhong, wandering for many years, and this holy scholar had long lost the idea of ​​serving the court. He had been to the Liao Kingdom and the Jin tribe in Baishan and Black Water. He knew that the decaying Liao Kingdom could not stop the rise of the Jin Kingdom, and also knew that the future Song Dynasty could still not resist the Jin people. For many years, a hero who could sway the magnificent appearance was needed. Today, when Jiang Zhong said that I wanted to seal the sky, Xiao Rang was very excited.

After Jiang Zhong helped Xiao Rang up, he said, "It is useless to just shout slogans. After all, we are a commoner. If we want to turn the tide, we still need to do a lot of things and make a lot of preparations. Without strong strength, everything will become empty talk. If the gentleman can trust Jiang, please give me some advice."

Knowing that the historical process is useless, it was too difficult for Jiang Zhong to lead the Song Dynasty to another direction. He was a little confused and always felt that he was a lonely hero and had to bear the loneliness in his heart silently. Unexpectedly, he met Xiao Rang who saw through the general trend. The feeling in his heart was like Emperor Gaozu of Han met Zhang Liang, Uncle Liu met Zhuge Liang, Emperor Taizong of Tang met Changsun Wuji, and Emperor Taizu of Ming met Liu Bowen.

At this time, when Xiao Rang knew that it was not polite, he said: "Lord, we must take three steps, the first step is to consolidate our foundation, so that we can attack and retreat and defend. No matter how the situation changes in the future, we can be invincible. The second step is to integrate into the court, and only by relying on the court can we truly survive. For example, the four major bandits are destined to be wiped out by the court, which is definitely not the way to survive. The third step is to split the earth and be crowned the king. Only by occupying a place can we cope with the complex and changeable situation."

Jiang Zhong did not expect that Xiao Rang had such great ambitions, but it was also considered to be a solution to his own doubts. From the beginning, he wanted to learn from the four major bandits to have his own armed forces, but he did not expect that Xiao Rang would say that he was integrated into the court. No wonder that the bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings in all dynasties had no good ending, and this kind of rebellion would not be successful. In the distance, the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Huang Chao Uprising of the Tang Dynasty, and in the near future, the four major bandits were destined to be destroyed by the court. If they learned from them, they would not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated.

Seeing that the lord was at ease, Xiao Rang knew that he had read the wrong person. He continued: "Let's take the first step to consolidate the foundation. Now the court's attention is basically on the four major bandits. However, since there has not been a large-scale suppression, it means that in the court's view, it is just a problem for the elbow and it is not time to annihilate it immediately. We must take this opportunity to grow stronger. There are three mountains a hundred miles away from the Heifeng Village, namely Erlong Mountain, Baihu Mountain, and Taohua Mountain. There are bandits on the three mountains. Among them, the flower monk Lu Zhishen, the green-faced beast Yang Zhi, and the sword ghost Cao Zheng are the most powerful. The three bands take care of each other, so it has been difficult for the government to annihilate them. Taking these three mountains, even if the lord has a territory, he only needs to manage it carefully. Of course, he must survive as a legal identity and cannot attract the encirclement of the government."

If it weren't for Jiang Zhong's appearance, Wu Song, Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing, and Shi En would have defected to Erlong Mountain. Now that the butterfly effect has already occurred, what Jiang Zhong has to do now is to adapt to the current environment, rather than complaining about himself. After hearing what Xiao Rang said, Jiang Zhong shook his head and said, "We only have more than 500 people now. Even if we are well-equipped, it's not easy to take down Erlong Mountain, let alone the bandits from Taohua Mountain and Baihu Mountain."

"If you take down the three mountains, you don't have to annihilate them. You just need to suppress them to a certain scale, and prevent the bandits from the three mountains from coming out to rob their families, plant flags and rebel, and surrender to the four major bandits. We have strong money as a backing and gradually infiltrate them." At this time, Xiao Rang took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Jiang Zhong. This was a detailed analysis of the bandits on the three mountains, and even wrote down the methods of how to take down the three mountains.

On Erlong Mountain, there are flower monk Lu Zhishen, green-faced beast Yang Zhi, sword-bearing ghost Cao Zheng, and thousands of minions under his command, which is the most powerful among the three mountains. Moreover, Erlong Mountain has a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the largest territory, it can be said that it is the boss of the three families and has absolute say.

Xiao Rang proposed the plan to persuade surrender. After all, both Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are the kind of generals who are the bravest generals of the three armies. Unfortunately, they are all simple-minded and not suitable for being the commander. As for Cao Zheng, they are even more muddy and can't stand the walls. Advocate surrender must be based on the fact that Heifeng Village is strong enough and has a good reputation and can help Erlong Mountain. Therefore, among the steps to occupy the three mountains, Erlong Mountain is the last step.

The leader of the village on Baihu Mountain is the two-headed snake Jie Zhen and the two-tailed scorpion Jie Bao. These two brothers are cruel and do all evil and do all the bad things. They have 800 subordinates who are the targets of the government's focus on suppression. It is said that the official bounty was 50,000 yuan, and the official was also awarded Xuan Delang. Although it was just a false title and no real power, for Jiang Zhong, the false title is more meaningful than real power.

The village leader on Taohua Mountain is a woman, and the more than 300 soldiers below are almost all female soldiers. It is said that the female leader has outstanding strength, and even the flower monk Lu Zhishen is not an opponent. Taohua Mountain and Baihu Mountain have always had many conflicts and fought for a long time. If it weren't for being suppressed by Erlong Mountain, the two sides would have been furious.

Xiao Rang's plan was to instigate the conflict between Baihu Mountain and Taohua Mountain, and regain the power of the fisherman, and finally destroy Baihu Mountain first, then recover Taohua Mountain, and finally realize the persuasion of Erlong Mountain.

As a time traveler, Jiang Zhong still has an in-depth understanding of the direction of some things. He feels that since Erlong Mountain has overwhelming strength towards Baihu Mountain and Taohua Mountain, in this case, rashly provoking the conflict between Baihu Mountain and Taohua Mountain will not only be effective, but if it is not done well, it will also cause the three companies to join forces to suppress it.

Although Heifeng Village has begun to take shape, it is still a big gap from Erlong Mountain. In this case, once it is suppressed by the three families, the consequences will be unimaginable. After reading it, Jiang Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "Instead of provoking the two bandits of Baihu Mountain and Taohua Mountain to kill each other, it is better to let the three of them become a fire, or use the hands of Erlong Mountain to destroy Baihu Mountain and suppress Taohua Mountain. In that case, we only need to face one in the end."

Obviously, Jiang Zhong, who was a killer, understood the darkest side of human nature better. He quickly made adjustments based on Xiao Rang's plan, and the operationality of the entire plan suddenly became much stronger.

At this moment, Xiao Rang discovered that his lord was far more meticulous than ordinary people, so he agreed without hesitation and was willing to personally go to Erlong Mountain for Jiang Zhong's strategy. For him, as long as he completed the task well, he would have an irreplaceable position in his proactive heart in the future.

Before leaving, Xiao Rang said to Jiang Zhong: "Lord, my cousin Hua Rong is a zhizhai in Qingfeng Village, and may be able to help you. Before going to Erlong Mountain, I will now go for you."

"I'll call me brother in the future." At this time, Jiang Zhong still wanted to keep a low profile. His strength was too weak. Once the outside world discovered his ambition, he would definitely be killed. He was very acknowledged by Hua Rong's ability to pass through Yang Baibu, but he was suspicious of his character. However, now he was at the time of using people, so he couldn't care about so much.

If Jiang Zhong knew that Xiao Rang went to Qingfeng Village to mention the media, he would probably not feel that good. In order to win over Hua Rong, this saint scholar actually wanted to introduce his cousin Hua Xiangrong to his lord. This trick was unattainable. However, in that era, this was the most effective way to win over people. Whether it was emperors, generals, or ordinary people, when winning over people, the most effective way was to marry. In this regard, the emperor could not avoid the common people, let alone Xiao Rang, who was eager to make achievements?
