Qianjiang County, in the study of the county magistrate's office.

Situ Yao was holding a book of military strategy but couldn't see it. For some reason, he always felt restless these days, as if something bad had happened.

"Is there something unexpected happening next to me tomorrow?"

Thinking of this, Situ Yao took out the map of Yuanling County, and after careful deduction in his heart for a long time, he stood up with some confidence.

Yining City is high and deep, and there is no terrain nearby. With Hu Ming's strength, as long as you can't stand, there will definitely be no problem in Yining City. And even if there is any accident, it will be fine with the elite soldiers brought by Hu Ming to escape.

"It seems that I'm thinking too much."

Situ Yao smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he might be really old and would be inexplicably suspicious.

But then again, I only accepted three students in my life. He taught these three people step by step. They were teachers and students, but in fact, they were like father and son, so it was understandable that I was a little nervous.

Situ Yao, who had slightly dispelled his annoyance, simply walked directly to the map of Dazhou. After a while, he took a pen and drew a line on the map.

"Nanjun, Bingjun, and Pingzhou, these three counties have now completely fallen under the control of the court."

The line drawn by Situ Yao just passed through these three counties, and it was almost possible to divide the Great Zhou into two. The difference was Yuanling County. "If Yuanling County was also taken down by the court, then the entire north would be under the control of the court except the northern border."

After standing in front of the map and pondering for a while, Situ Yao drew a big fork on Yuanling County on the map. "If Yuanling is in trouble and let it go, the court may develop again."

Thinking of this, Situ Yao couldn't help but shake his head. Anyone who gained power in the Great Zhou Dynasty could do, but he could not accept the revival of the imperial court, because Tang Shuyu had already made him a great enemy with the imperial court for a while. If the imperial court gained power again, he would probably not have a good end to his entire clan.

"Jiangnan County, Luanshan County..."

Situ Yao's eyes passed through the south of the Great Zhou map. Looking at the counties and counties, he whispered to himself: "These old foxes are all masters who do not show off their rabbits and do not show off their eagles. Unless they are forced to force them to take the initiative to send troops, it is probably not that simple."

"It seems that I have to find a way to add a fire to them."

Situ Yao was half-restled on the chair, and began to think in his mind how to force these aristocratic families to take the initiative to send troops. As for the victory or defeat of Yuanling County, it was not important in his opinion.

In Yuanling County, if the court is defeated, it will encourage these aristocratic families to divide the court.

And if the court wins, then the court will directly threaten these aristocratic families and there are reasons to ask them to send troops.

However, these reasons are only open. If you want them to take the initiative to send troops, you still have to use some means.

Just as Situ Yao was thinking about how to use his dark son in those aristocratic families, a sudden burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the study. For some reason, when hearing the footsteps, a trace of ominous premonition suddenly surged in Situ Yao's heart.

"Tu Yu, why are you so anxious?"

Only his three students could enter his study without reporting. Among these three, Bai Changqiu went to Jiangnan as a lobbyist, while Hu Ming fought with the court in Yuanling County. After excluding these two, the rest was Tu Yu, his biggest student.

Therefore, he knew who the person who came was without even opening his eyes. "Is something wrong?"

Tu Yu looked like a middle-aged man, with a burly figure and a faint murderous aura on his body. It can be seen from his steps that this man was born in the army.

Tu Yu, who was rushing over, looked at Situ Yao who was resting with his eyes closed, and thought about the information he had obtained, and suddenly felt a little confused about how to speak.

"Um?"

Situ Yao, who had not been able to respond for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tu Yu, "Is something wrong in Yining City?"

Tu Yu lowered his head and did not dare to look at Situ Yao's eyes. After a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice: "Yes, teacher."

Looking at Tu Yu's appearance, Situ Yao guessed something in his heart. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down for a moment, "Is something wrong... tomorrow?"

Hearing Situ Yao's question, Tu Yu's head lowered. After a long time, he sorted out his language and replied with difficulty: "Mo Zizai sent elite troops to dig out rivers outside Yining City, intending to flood Yining City."

"My junior brother was forced to go out of the city and had to take the initiative to fight Mo Zizai, and eventually... he was defeated... and died..."

"Die...Die..."

Situ Yao seemed to not react and murmured twice. After a while, he suddenly covered his chest, "It hurts so much!"

After saying that, Situ Yao felt the darkness in front of him and fell directly from the chair.

"Teacher, teacher..."

Seeing Situ Yao fall, Tu Yu didn't care about anything else and directly reached out to support Situ Yao, then shouted loudly: "Come, come, come, call the doctor!"

...

I don’t know how long it took, Situ Yao woke up slowly. At this time, he had already lie on the bed, and Tu Yu was waiting beside him.

"Teacher, you're awake."

Tu Yu, who was always paying attention to Situ Yao, saw Situ Yao wake up, and quickly stepped forward and said, "I have invited the doctor to see it just now. He said he was just anxious and there was nothing serious. Just have a good rest."

"Um……"

Situ Yao nodded weakly. He did not care about his condition, but asked, "What's going on tomorrow?"

Tu Yu looked at Situ Yao who had just woken up and asked Hu Ming, and was determined not to talk about this topic with Situ Yao again, but looking at Situ Yao's firm eyes, he knew that even if he didn't say this, the teacher would ask others. Therefore, he was silent for a moment and replied: "Since all the aristocratic families in Yining City were killed by Mo Zizai, all of our people were removed, so no one collected the corpses for his junior brother. His corpses had been buried in the mass grave together with the corpses of Yining City."

Seeing that Situ Yao was a little excited again, Tu Yu hurriedly continued, "But don't worry, teacher, I have sent someone to find my junior brother's body, and I will definitely bring him back."

"My city guardian is no matter how tomorrow, he is just thrown to the mass grave. Mo Zizai is so amazing!"

Situ Yao struggled and sat up from the bed, then looked at Tu Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me about the matter in Yining City in detail. Mo Zizai only has 20,000 people. Even if he takes the initiative to go out of the city to fight, he will never end like this. What happened? He doesn't even have a chance to escape?"

"It's the Red Flame Dragon Knight."

Tu Yu did not hesitate and directly told Situ Yao about the information in Yining City in detail. Finally, he summed up: "According to my speculation, at least most of the cavalry under Mo Zizai's command are in the bone-forging realm, otherwise my junior brother would not even have a chance to escape."

"Bone Forging? Five Thousand?"

Situ Yao leaned against the wall with his eyes closed and slowly digested the news that Tu Yu said. Although the news was outrageous, Situ Yao believed that Tu Yu would not lie to him, and that his intelligence system would not have any problems. Therefore, these five thousand knights in the bone-forging realm were basically certain.

"It seems that our royal family in Great Zhou still left a lot of inheritance for the younger generations."

This cavalry appeared too abruptly, so with Situ Yao's intelligence, he could not guess how this cavalry was raised. He could only return him to the treasure left by the Great Zhou royal family. Although this statement is far-fetched, he could not think of any other possibility besides this.

"Heavy Armored Cavalry, Red Blood Dragon Test on the Grassland..."

Situ Yao finally understood why Mo Zizai had to pay such a great price to buy so many Red Blood Dragon Test from the grassland. If he had such a strong soldier under his command, he would definitely make the same choice as Mo Zizai.

"I thought this boy was a fool, but I didn't expect that his cunning man could have deceived everyone in the world."

Thinking of Mo Zizai, Situ Yao's face couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. He didn't take the court to heart at all, nor did he care about the useless man Mo Zizai. Unexpectedly, he suddenly rose up strongly, not only repeatedly destroying his plan, but also directly killed his disciples.

It seems that we can no longer despise him as much as before.

Situ Yao closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then suddenly spoke to Tu Yu and said, "Tu Yu, I want to go to Jiangnan. You are ready to take the army out of Qianjiang for battle at any time."

"Teacher, are you going out?"

After hearing Situ Yao say this, Tu Yu couldn't help but be shocked, "Teacher, this matter must not be done. I am also very sad about my junior brother's affairs, but if we leave Qianjiang at this time, our plans will be wasted."

Tu Yu thought Situ Yao was influenced by hatred and quickly spoke out to dissuade him. They had planned for so many years to seize the world. Now that the world is about to be in chaos, they are sending troops at this time, which is tantamount to making wedding dresses with others.

"If you want to win the world, in addition to strategy, you also need courage."

Situ Yao raised his hand to stop Tu Yu's persuasion and said, "Although I regret my death in battle tomorrow, I will not lose my limits for this."

Looking at Tu Yu who was puzzled, Situ Yao sighed and explained: "Tu Yu, Mo Zizai's five thousand red flame dragon cavalry, if it is as powerful as you said, do you think that the court can do anything with the wine bags in Jiangnan?"

"this……"

After hearing Situ Yao's question, Tu Yu couldn't help but hesitate. Although Jiangnan had more money and food, he could gather a large number of troops, but if he really wanted to fight, there was no top commander who could not play the advantage of large numbers of people at that time, he would be very likely to be beaten by the court.

As for the commander, as Tu Yu knows, there seems to be no particularly top-notch people in Jiangnan. At least Jiangnan has no commander who can command more than 100,000 people.

Seeing Tu Yu fall into silence, Situ Yao continued: "In the court, there are Wei Huang, Han Qu, and Yang Yanzhang who is unknown."

"If we let them defeat the counties in Jiangnan and gather the general trend, it would be too late for us to send troops."

The court occupied great justice. If they defeated the forces in Jiangnan again, they would firmly control the world of the Great Zhou. At that time, even if they sent troops, they would be able to defeat the court once, twice, or even ten or eight times, it would be useless.

Because at that time, the court would be in the world and could recruit soldiers at any time. If they lost more than once, they would lose.

In contrast to the imperial court, only Qianjiang County, they would probably lose once at that time, and Situ Yao would definitely not accept this situation.

So even though he knew that sending troops at this time would greatly damage his strength, he could not continue to wait like this.

"Mo Zizai's Red Flame Dragon Knight is so strong, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River must have received news. Those aristocratic families must be in danger, so Changqiu's Hezong Lianheng in Jiangnan is probably already."

"However, if we want to accomplish something, there must be a leader. Since we have decided to send troops, then this leader is mine."

Situ Yao revealed a hint of domineering spirit, "Isn't the cavalry that Mo Zi relies on is the strength of the bone-forging realm?"

"Since this cavalry is invincible, I will use people to kill him. If it doesn't work, it's 100,000, it's 100,000, it's 100,000, it's 100,000, it's 100,000!"

"There is sufficient food and supplies in Jiangnan, and it is no problem to supply a million troops. Since that's the case, I will pull out a million troops. I want to see what he Mo Zizai can use to fight me!"

"The teacher is wise."

Tu Yu thought for a while and felt that what Situ Yao said made sense, so he nodded and said, "If the teacher is the leader of the alliance, he can also use the situation to attract those troops. As long as he masters these troops and solves Mo Zizai, the world will naturally belong to us."

With the teacher's means, it is not difficult to control those armies after becoming the leader. At that time, it can even use these armies as the foundation to directly sweep the world. This result does not seem to be much worse than their previous plan.

"I'll discuss this matter again."

Situ Yao shook his head and didn't say much about this matter. The people in power in those aristocratic families were old foxes. They might not be able to fight, but internal strife is a good player. It is not that easy to seize the source of troops from them.

But it was just not that easy. Situ Yao was still somewhat sure to become the leader of the alliance and slowly penetrate their army.

But the northern border cannot be left idle. Situ Yao thought silently in his heart. It would be ridiculous if they fought with the court in the end, if Mo Yuanji, who was watching the fun, picked peaches.

So he must find a way to bring the northern border in, and he can't bring it too early, otherwise Mo Yuanji would be in trouble to compete for the position of leader as the prince.

Situ Yao, who made up his mind, did not delay too much. He cultivated in the mansion for a few days. When his body recovered, he went straight out of Qianjiang and entered Jiangnan County.
