When Lu Fang said that it was Xu Guanzhong who accompanied Gongsun Sheng back, Shi Jin was stunned for a moment.
Xu Guanzhong A person who is hard to understand.
I remember that he was from Daming Prefecture, he was proficient in the art of war and strategy, he knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.
The most rare thing is that he has a deep understanding of world geography.
He has traveled all over famous mountains and rivers.
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing both called him a "living map."
Shi Jin shouted: "Since he is Mr.
Gongsun's companion, he must be a great talent.
I will personally go out to greet you."
Shi Jin asked people to open the middle door wide.
As soon as he walked out of the gate and saw Gongsun Sheng, Shi Jin cupped his hands and said, "Mr.
Gongsun, you have had a hard journey."
Gongsun Sheng hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "It's just a long journey, not as good as a marshal's battle on the battlefield.
I dare not say how hard it is."
After the two people greeted each other, Shi Jin turned his eyes to a man in his thirties who was standing next to Gongsun Sheng, with a strange appearance and an elegant appearance.
This man's eyes are bright and his eyebrows are divided into eight characters.
He is seven feet long and short in stature, with three teeth covering his mouth and mustache.
Wearing a black crepe turban for wiping eyebrows, and a brown sermon uniform with a soap collar and edges.
It is tied with a colorful Lu Gong ribbon and a pair of green cloth shoes with square heads.
Gongsun Sheng hurriedly introduced, "Marshal, this is Xu Guanzhong of Daming Palace, and he is a Taoist scholar."
When Shi Jin heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted and said, "I have heard about Mr.
Xu's name for a long time, and today I finally get to meet him."
When the man saw Shi Jin saluting, he also hurriedly bowed and saluted and said: "You are the marshal, I am just a commoner, how can I accept your great gift?"
Shi Jin quickly helped him up and said, "Mr.
Xu is a scholar highly respected by Mr.
Gongsun, so he must be a great sage.
How dare Shi Jin treat the wind and cold outside based on his reputation and place?
This is not a place for small talk.
Mr.
Gongsun, Mr.
Xu, hurry up."
Please come inside quickly” Although Xu Guanzhong didn't care about these false courtesy, being respected like this made his impression of Shi Jin much better.
Entering the main hall, he asked Gongsun Sheng and Xu Guanzhong to sit down.
Shi Jin then sat down.
Shi Jin cupped his hands and said, "I don't know why Mr.
Xu came here with Mr.
Gongsun today."
Shi Jin had imagined many answers from Xu Guanzhong and thought of many plans, preparing to direct the conversation toward the world situation.
Unexpectedly, Xu Guanzhong asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Marshal, may I ask if Jiangnan La has suffered a major defeat and is in danger?"
Shi Jin was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself, this guy asked me what I was doing.
How did he know about this?
Could it be that someone leaked it?
Fang La's defeat had a great impact on Shi Jin's affairs, and would also affect the wealthy clan's attitude towards Shi Jin.
Therefore, Shi Jin kept a tight seal on Fang La's defeat and strictly ordered his subordinates not to spread the news.
Shi Jin couldn't help but turn his head and look at Gongsun Sheng.

Could it be that this guy leaked it?
Although Gongsun Sheng had just come back, logically he should not know the news yet, but it is not surprising that Shi Jin would doubt him.
After all, he was also from Liangshan.
If that brother met him, it would not be surprising that he would talk about it in gossip.
Seeing the look in Shi Jin's eyes, Gongsun Sheng hurriedly explained: "Marshal, don't worry, our Taoist sect has its own news channel, and we will know something about the world's major events, but we just don't know the specific situation."
Hearing Gongsun Sheng's explanation, Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that it was the news channel of their Taoist sect, and it was not leaked by his own subordinates.
This saved him from having to punish his brothers.
Shi Jin did not doubt Gongsun Sheng's words.
Taoism and Buddhism are spread all over China in Taoist temples.
Not to mention that they have close relationships with many famous and high-ranking officials.
In addition, they often visit and visit.
Therefore, people in Taoism and Buddhism often have negative views on the world.
He understands important matters better than the imperial court and sees them thoroughly.
Shi Jin cupped his hands and said, "Don't be surprised, gentlemen.
After all, this matter is of great importance, so Shi Jin has no reason to be cautious."
Gongsun Sheng and Xu Guanzhong also handed over their hands and said, "It should be so."
Shi Jin picked up the battle report about Jiangnan from the desk and handed it to Xu Guanzhong himself, saying: "Sir, please look at this, this is the news about Jiangnan that Xiao Ke's men just came back from."
Xu Guanzhong took it with both hands unceremoniously and browsed it quickly.
After reading it, he handed the battle report to Gongsun Sheng, and then sighed and said: "There are insiders in Fang La's army.
I'm afraid that Fang La will be eradicated by the court in less than half a year."
Shi Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Sir, he is indeed a great talent, and his judgment is almost the same as that of my subordinates.
I am also having a headache about this matter.
You, sir, are a great sage.
I wonder if you would be willing to give me some advice."
When Xu Guanzhong heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower.
I don't know if the marshal is willing to listen."
When Shi Jin heard Xu Guanzhong's words, he was really happy.
I really didn't expect that Xu Guanzhong was so powerful and had three strategies: upper, middle and lower.
Shi Jin immediately said with joy: "Sir, I am willing to listen to whatever you have to say."
Xu Guanzhong said: "The next best thing is to ignore Fang La and attack the capital before the imperial army returns.
Once the capital is captured, the Dao Lord and Emperor are dead, and the dragons are without a leader, the Song Dynasty will definitely fall apart, and heroes and warriors from all over the country will take advantage of the opportunity.
Supporting the army and becoming self-reliant, resulting in a situation of separatism among the heroes.
The marshal owns the most populous and fertile land of Lu and Yu, and the marshal's troops are powerful and unstoppable.
The Song Dynasty has no power to fight against the marshal's troops alone.
If we work slowly, we will be able to sweep away all the heroes and unify China in less than twenty years."
Shi Jin heard that this strategy was similar to the one he had just decided on, and thought that such a strategy was just a bad idea in Xu Guanzhong's eyes.
Shi Jin thought for a while and said, "What is the middle strategy?
Please tell me, sir."
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "I heard that the marshal has a navy that can sail far away.
The central strategy is for the marshal to send an army, in the name of others, to cross the sea and expedition to the south of the Yangtze River.
When the Song army is unprepared, they can capture Hangzhou.
As long as Hangzhou is captured, The imperial court was afraid of being attacked from both sides, so it would definitely not dare to continue to pursue Fang La's army.
This would give Fang La's army a chance to breathe, and then the marshal would send the miraculous doctor An Dao Quan'an to treat Fang La.
As long as Fang La wakes up, with his power, Hopefully, Fang La's army will be able to be reorganized.

If Fang La's army is not destroyed, the imperial army will be dragged to the south of the Yangtze River.
This will not only greatly deplete the national power of the Song Dynasty, but also slow down Fang La's development, and at the same time allow the marshal to have more time.
After the marshal has established the Jingdong two routes, the imperial court and Fang La's army have been fighting for years, and when they are weak, the marshal will send troops to unite the north first, and then lead the troops south.
In less than ten years, he will surely win the title of Kyushu."
When he heard Xu Guanzhong proposed a plan to fight across the sea to support Fang La, Shi Jin suddenly wanted to slap himself.
As a modern person, I actually forgot about the sea and naval battles.
Damn it If you think about it carefully, this strategy is really very feasible.
It is said to be a cross-sea battle, but it is more about transporting troops and horses to the south of the Yangtze River.
Not many people are aware of the threat from the sea yet.
As long as the Liangshan Army moves quickly and hides, it is very possible to capture Hangzhou.
After only conquering Hangzhou, the Song army did not dare to attack Fang La's army rashly.
When Fang La regains his footing, he will withdraw those soldiers and horses, let them fight with each other, and develop with peace of mind.
When an army of 100,000 troops is raised, it will first attack Yizhou to resist the Liao army from going south, and then attack the capital.
It will not be difficult to decide the north.
After sweeping the north, he has a powerful navy.
He can advance by land and water.
As long as he captures Xiangyang or Nanjing, without the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the south can be easily pacified.
Shi Jin thought that Zhong Ce was like this, so what would happen to Shang Ce?
Shi Jin looked at Xu Guanzhong with great anticipation:
