"Back to Your Highness, there are nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in Wenxi in the Northern Stone Kingdom." Ding Yuan replied truthfully.

Ye Qing suddenly stopped, and Ding Yuan almost rushed to his shoulder.

Everyone was stunned, how did they stop.

With Ye Qing's eyes, Ding Yuan immediately reacted back and explained: "Your Highness, it is true that the military report has sent 80,000 troops from the Beishi Kingdom, and the other 30,000 are going to the direction of the Pi family, and the Beishi barbarians also know the importance of the Pi crossing, so the soldiers and horses over there should not be dispatched to Wenxi." ”

"In this way, the number of Beishi troops in the north of Wenxi is only what you speculated with the original 80,000, and then the Beishi Kingdom sent a small number of soldiers and horses into the east of the river, and you did not control it." Ye Qing suddenly analyzed an important piece of information from Ding Ding's words, and focused his eyes on an old man next to Liu Zhengyi who was somewhat similar between his eyebrows.

It must have been an important figure in the Liu family, and he went out of the city with Ding Yuan and others.

Liu Zhengyi muttered a few times in the old man's ear, and the old man stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Beishi people came too suddenly, and the northeastern part of the river fell too quickly, so that we didn't have time to react at all.

There is only one way to go north, that is Wenxi, although Taishou is stuck here, not allowing the Beishi people to go south, the same Beishi barbarians are also stuck with us, so that we don't know anything about the northeast side of the river. ”

This explanation is perfunctory and far-fetched.

Ye Qing was extremely dissatisfied.

Your Liu family is an emperor-like existence in Hedong, so you will give this kind of answer to shirk responsibility.

It's fooling me.

Ding Yuan on the side said: "Your Highness, the most important thing is that Bai Bogu is silent, none of the masters we sent to the north can come back alive."

If Baibo Valley doesn't give us news, we can't control the news from the north at all! ”

Although it is not clear, it is clear from Ding Yuan's meaning that Baibo Valley really served the Beishi Kingdom.

Otherwise, with the energy of the stone barbarians in the north in the east of the river, it is impossible to block the news so tightly.

So there is only one answer, and that is that Baibo Valley helped to block all the people who tried to spy on the news of the Northlands, but sent the news to the south from the Northlands without permission.

Only then can it be explained.

But Baibo Valley is one of the six major factions after all, and its status is high.

Before they make it clear that they oppose Zhou Tou Beishi, they still have to deal with this matter cautiously, so as not to fall into the truth.

"Without news, this battle will not be good, we will be quite passive, we don't know anything about the enemy, but the enemy knows everything about us." Ye Qing began to walk towards the city again, saying as he went:

"The reason why the North Stone Kingdom is not attacking Wenxi now is that it wants to consolidate the results of the battle, and the second is to clean up all the forces that resist the North Stone in the north, and the third is to ...... Maybe they have other plans. ”

Anything else?

Think of Pitts.

Everyone's heads were sweating.

Crossing the river from Pishi is the Dragon Gate.

That area was directly under the rule of the Dragon Gate.

If Longmen also rebelled against Zhou and Beishi like Bai Bo, the Beishi barbarians could directly attack Guan Zheng

There is a shock in Guanzhong, and Chang'an will be in danger.

Of course, everyone knows that the Beishi barbarians dare not fight Chang'an, because they don't have the ability.

Next, Ding Yuan reported to Ye Qing about other aspects of Hedong's intelligence.

The more he listened, the worse Ye Qing felt.

Because many people fled from the city of Anyi.

The city of Fucheng is a little empty.

If you like to break it, there will be no soldiers and horses to defend Anyi.

Some of the soldiers and horses of the national ash have been transferred to Wenxi, even the people have been transferred.

The second is that there are too many people fleeing south, and the population is lost, which makes the city want to recruit men from the people, let alone squeeze out soldiers and horses.

There are some of them.

But most of them are left to defend their families.

As soon as they heard of it, their private soldiers would protect them and flee south across the river to Guan Zheng

The city is in vain.

It doesn't matter if you want it or not.

Rejecting Ding Yuan's banquet hospitality, Ye Qing only needed a map made by Hedong County, and then went to Xiaoyao Mansion's station in the city.

"Lord, the map of Hedong County's own backtest is much more detailed than that of the imperial court, it seems that this Ding Ding is also an ambitious person, not a mediocre talent!" Xu Shu compared the two maps of Hedong and found that the map of Hedong given by the imperial court was simply a defective board, and the labeling of many maps was inaccurate.

Ye Qingdao: "If you are a mediocre talent, do you think you can be sent by His Majesty to take over Hedong?" This Ding Ding was also a civilian in his early years, his status was humble, and he also rose through the ranks of his military exploits, and he became famous when he was his grandfather.

In such a good place in Hedong, if he doesn't do something, then he will be really sorry for his ability. ”

Anyone who can be guarded too much is definitely not stupid.

Ding Ding's martial arts are not very high, but they are not low, there are two grades, and he is the first master.

Otherwise, it would not be able to stabilize Wenxi's defense line, and it would have been broken through by Beishi long ago.

"Lord, I think that no matter what kind of efforts Ding Ding has made, what he has planned in Hedong, he will never be as good as the Liu family, the Liu family has been in Hedong for generations, and they know everything, maybe the map of the Liu family is more detailed, and we have to find a way to get one, so it will be more conducive to our plan!" Xu Shu stroked his beard and said with certainty.

Ding Ding has ambitions, does the Liu family have it, even if they don't, they will secretly draw a map in order to protect themselves and get the initiative at a critical moment.

I prepare even a lot of back hands.

A hundred-year-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family are not a joke.

"The Liu family! Maybe, even if it won't, it doesn't matter, they don't give it, we'll take it ourselves! "Ye Qing made an offer to Liu Zhengyi, but he didn't really covet the Liu family's salt lake and the little benefits in front of him.

The crude ore of the salt is enough for the free house to make a profit.

Whether the Liu family's salt is given or not is the same.

The market can be beaten down by itself, and there is no need for the Liu family to send it at all.

The reason why he is like this is to paralyze the Liu family.

A family that dares to kill itself must be held accountable for its actions.

He Ye Qing is not a good person, but he is not so easy to provoke.

Once the feud is settled, the easiest way is to get rid of the enemy.

If you want to really control Hedong and create an impregnable place that can counterattack the southeast of Hedong in the northeast of Hedong, the Liu family is one of the problems that must be solved.

Only in the southeast of the river can there be hope for the unity of thinking and strength.

Ye Qing thinks about more issues.

It was Ye Qing and Xu Shu who discussed the affairs of Hedong.

The Liu family!

At this time, Ye Qing's request was also being discussed!

"I don't agree, why should I give him half, the salt lake and the salt market were finally brought down by our Liu family back then.

If he wants half of it, he will give it away, and what will others think of our Liu family in the future!"

"That's right, I don't agree either, salt is the lifeblood of our Liu family, with it, our Liu family is prosperous, without it, can our Liu family still be the original Liu family? Then we will be defeated, and we will be ashamed of our ancestors when we go down. ”

"It is impossible for Salt Lake to give him half, as for the market, I think it is negotiable, because he took the official salt, and lost a lot of market share through the squeeze, and we can't keep it in this regard, so I think we can give him a preferential price of salt, one of which paralyzes him, and the other kills the official salt and puts the official salt back in the cage!"
