Cheng Jinzhou preached everywhere in Daxia, and his first goal was to launch a war against the Northern Han Dynasty - because he could neither control the court nor influence the Star Warlock Association. If you want to start a war, you need to convince the nobles.

But starting a war is definitely not his entire goal. Perhaps controlling the process of the war is.

Only in this way can we ensure that the border crossers will be eliminated after invading the Northern Han Dynasty.

However, even if it was the first step, it would not be easy for the Daxia court to surrender. Even if he kills Xia Jing, Emperor Lizong will find ways to delay him if he doesn't agree. In fact, such a nationwide undertaking can only be done through inducement, not coercion. Even with the strength of the British before World War I, if they wanted the Indian colonies and Australia to join the war, they had to promise numerous conditions, even to the point of promising independence.

Things that use harming abilities to intimidate should not be used over and over again - "I will kill you if you don't do it". It is really not useful in every situation.

Cheng Jinzhou believes that there are always smart politicians who can see through him.

An Feng waited quietly for Cheng Jinzhou's response.

He is actually not very willing to do this. A war will consume too many resources, which belong to the association. But Cheng Jinzhou is so active in promoting this matter, whether he is a star warlock, a priest of the morning light, or a person favored by the gods, he has the ability to eventually provoke a war.

War is inevitable after all. It's like swinging the ball around in his hands. No matter how skilled he is, the ball will always fall down.

On the contrary, if we can fight a victorious war, it will be a good thing for the Daxia Star Warlock Association, which is limited to this.

"On the day of the attack, I will stop the rally." Cheng Jinzhou thought for a moment and replied.

"I promise you will organize an attack right away, so it's best to stop now so that we can make a decision easily." An Feng certainly didn't want to let him continue.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed deliberately and said, "You have already made your decision. If you don't make a decision, what will I do? There must be a time."

An Feng hesitated, he didn't even have time to discuss it with others.

"10 days?"

"How can it be."

"A month."

"The dispatch of war supplies is very slow..." An Feng laughed.

"In 15 days, the Southwest Army will take the lead in launching a battle. They are provoking our border." Cheng Jinzhou pointed his finger to the west. Cheng Wenzheng has nearly 200,000 active troops at his disposal. If he gathers all the logistics supplies, he can guarantee at least 30,000 troops to launch an attack.

Once the war starts, the Northern Han Dynasty will not care whether Xia Jing agrees or not.

This can be regarded as an upgraded version of "make the following".

An Feng stared at Cheng Jinzhou and suddenly thought that even when he was a one-star warlock, he had never made him surrender. He was really an annoying star warlock.

He frowned, almost wanting to say, "Can't you just be obedient for once?"

Obviously, he couldn't say this, but his face looked like expired frozen meat.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Lu Guandao quickly grabbed the county magistrate and said, "Have you prepared lunch? Let's start now."

"Now?" The county magistrate was more afraid of Warlock An Fengxing than Cheng Jinzhou.

A fourth-level star warlock is equivalent to an official of the political affairs hall, and a first-level official is no more than that.

Lu Guandao glared at him and said, "Don't tell me if you are hungry, prepare it now."

After giving the magistrate a hard push, the latter stumbled to the front.

Cheng Jinzhou and An Feng looked at him at the same time. Lu Xu's reaction was a little slower, and he squatted on the ground drawing circles out of boredom. He did it so that Cheng Jinzhou and An Feng could look at each other and talk.

"My lord, my lord." Magistrate Fang's lips were upturned, his nose was wrinkled, his eyes were wide open, and his face was horizontal. He used the complete flattery set menu and said with a smile: "The soup banquet is ready, let's eat first."

"Master An..." Cheng Jinzhou stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Let me borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

"Buddha?"

"Respectfully." Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand, pulled Magistrate Fang over and said, "Tell me what food you have prepared."

At this time, he looked completely like a superior officer.

Magistrate Fang immediately cheered up and said, "I'd like to invite the cook of Lin'an Fen Tea Hotel. Even though she's a woman, she's famous for her sheep heads. She uses 10 sheep heads each time, weighing 5 kilograms." It sounds like a lot of leeks, but she only cuts the flesh of each sheep head, and only the top part of the leek that looks like leek. If you eat them together, it is really a delicacy in the world. Two adults, this way."

An Feng came so quickly that Cheng Jinzhou didn't say anything about resting.

Lu Xu didn't need him to pat him, and followed Magistrate Fang's footsteps. He licked his lips and said, "Then 10 sheep heads mean 10 sheep? I like lamb shoulder the best, so I'll prepare a pot by the way."

"Yes, definitely." Officials like Magistrate Fang are most afraid of Shangguan saying "keep everything simple", which will really make things difficult for him. But as long as Shangguan asked, he would complete it very quickly.

The banquet was set inside the official residence, on the lotus pond, with the breeze blowing. An Feng deliberately ignored Cheng Jinzhou, grabbed the county magistrate and said, "You seem to be an elegant person, and you are a good flower grower."

Cheng Jinzhou almost spat out his saliva. The political environment in Daxia is as perverted as ever. A person who is good at flower cultivation is regarded as an elegant person, but no matter how dirty that person is - an old man who smiles like a rose is as dirty as a black rose.

Magistrate Fang was very happy to be appreciated, and nodded and bowed with a smile on his face: "Xiaguan has no hobbies on weekdays, just planting flowers and pruning some potted plants. And there are women, haha, women are just like flowers, they need to be pruned from time to time."

Xiao Cheng couldn't stand listening anymore, so he took a few steps and sat directly on the table.

There was a dazzling array of dishes, and Lu Xu was so greedy that he almost had to grab them with his hands.

Cheng Jinzhou winked at Lu Guandao, and then jumped off Lu Xu's shoulders. This will naturally be somewhat dangerous. The disadvantage of the United Star Formation lies in the word "union".

The cook was cooking on the stove on the other side of the lotus pond, with seven or eight chefs helping her. Magistrate Fang hurriedly caught up and introduced it, and several people listened while eating.

The small town of Shanyang County is neither close to the sea nor backed by mountains, but with a firm will and a humble heart, the county magistrate was able to obtain a lot of rare things. The first is the favorite crab of Daxia people. Eight steamed crabs stand in the center of the plate with their fiery red carapace. Each carapace is the size of an adult’s fist. Coupled with the huge pincers, each of them is disguised as It's like a turtle. The most popular thing to eat in the summer is river crabs. Not only are such big ones rare, but even transporting them all the way here is quite troublesome - the crabs must be eaten alive. The better the crabs are, the happier the diners will be. I'm happy, there are no trains, cars or tractors, so the bumpy journey must have caused a lot of damage.

Lychee roasted kidneys, game duck and rabbit paste are also very interesting ways to cook. With the addition of deer meat and grilled fish, it turns out to be a pretty good meal.

However, Magistrate Fang is a person who pursues top-notch flattery. Half of the food was served, and when he was about to start eating, he solemnly took out a pot of food and said: "In the small county of Shanyang, there are not many fresh things, but a few days ago, I bought some things from my humble post. Today I will give them to you." You two adults have a taste. Elephant pull."

Xiangba is the trunk of an elephant. It has been known as one of the eight treasures in the past dynasties, and it carries rare food. On the contrary, Warlock An Fengxing had traveled a lot, so he didn't think it was strange. He took a look at it and said, "It doesn't look like a baby elephant."

"Your Excellency, it is clear that the elephant is two years old." Magistrate Fang carefully placed it on the table. It was not very big. Both elephants were twenty or thirty centimeters in length. They were cut as thin as cicada wings, but still Served as is, with mushy sauce on the side.

"Eight-month-old baby elephants are the best, and only the piece of live meat on the trunk is enough." An Feng said, patted Cheng Jinzhou on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Come, let's try it together."

His patting on Cheng Jinzhou's shoulder almost caused Lu Guandao to activate the star formation, and his face turned red.

Elephants reproduce slowly and eat too much food during their growth. Breeding is expensive, and hunting is not easy. The fighting ability of elephants is quite good. If they are not a well-prepared professional team, they may suffer losses.

Therefore, generally speaking, elephant plucks are accessories of ivory. Only a few people can hunt small elephants specifically for elephant tusks.

It has to be said that in just a few days, Magistrate Fang was able to entertain people to a degree that surprised the Star Warlock. He is definitely a good official with a bright future.

After dinner tacitly, An Feng actually stayed with Cheng Jinzhou.

Parades and rallies are inherently terrible things. Modern political parties rely on them to conquer the world, and cults rely on them to destroy the world. The Holy Church is an out-and-out serious sect. They even regard Star Warlocks as affiliates of the sect, unlike the Star Warlock Association, which regards Star Warlocks as its members. Classmate Xiao Cheng used the name of the Holy Church to preach throughout Daxia. An Feng was really worried that the situation would expand and ordinary people would turn upside down.

For them, life may be better if they become subjects of the church.

Cheng Jinzhou stared at it, but it was no use. Warlock An Fengxing was prepared to stay by his side, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble.

The one who is most unhappy is actually Tang Wen. His second-level star has no meaning in front of Cheng Jinzhou. He is simply a generation below him. Thinking about the "humiliation" he received at the seminar, Tang Wen felt furious in his heart.

The next day, Cheng Jinzhou rode a thoroughbred horse and turned to EZ Xianning. EZ is also one of the major provinces in the southwest, guarding part of the southwest defense line, and is one of the few provinces that is still recruiting villagers.

Xiongding is a militia-type organization with high social costs, low national costs and low efficiency. Were it not for the unstable borders, they would not have continued to use it. This is one of the provinces most severely invaded by the Northern Han Dynasty. Cheng Jinzhou chose this place for his itinerary after Jinzhou, hoping to get more people's approval. Most people follow the crowd, and the more approval, the easier it is to get approval.

After entering the Xianning border, the first thing Cheng Jinzhou did was to contact the Holy Church.

He didn't want Warlock An Feng to do whatever he wanted, or rather, he was pursuing whatever he wanted.
