This is not the first time Li Qi has come to the northwest, and this will definitely not be the last.

Li Qi likes the customs and customs of the northwest very much, and compared with Jizhou, this side is richer.

I don't see any foreigners in Jizhou, but in the northwest, the cultures of many ethnic groups are integrated, and they have unique customs.

When he said these words to Yu Jiuling, Yu Jiuling squinted his eyes and said yes, yes, yes, there is no style!

Li Qi had an urge to castrate Yu Jiuling at that time.

In fact, this place in Jizhou is not very interesting to people who have the heart of hegemony today.

Especially many powerful people in the south, such as Li Brother Hu and Yang Xuanji.

People in Jiangnan know that relatively speaking, Jizhou is a very chicken place.

The south is so rich, the land of fish and rice, whoever occupies more land will get more.

The imperial capital of Great Chu is also in the south, and the northern Xinjiang is remote and cold.

What about Jizhou?

The city of Liangzhou in the northwest of Jizhou will fight against the countries of the Western Regions in the west, and beware of the outflow of the Kou in the north.

Just north of Jizhou, on one side is the grassland Haoqiang, and on the other side is the Black Martial Empire.

In the northeast of Jizhou, there is Heiwu on one side and the Bohai Sea on the other.

If you have 200,000 troops, if you want to send troops to fight for power, you can leave 50,000 troops in the foundation land, and at least 150,000 can take you to the battle.

But in Jizhou, you have 200,000 troops, and if you want to go south to compete for power, you may not even be able to bring 50,000 troops.

So there are only two kinds of people who want to seize Jizhou.

One is the people from Yanzhou, if they want to fight for the Central Plains, Jizhou is the only way, and they can't do it without fighting.

One is the big thieves in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, who have difficulties in fighting south, and they can't beat Brother Li or Prince Wu.

Therefore, they can only move north, or covet Yuzhou, or target Jizhou.

People who have such a plan, to put it more plainly, are not ambitious, and they are very satisfied if they can get a corner of the ground and rule.

For example, if you take Jizhou, across the Nanping River, it will be difficult for the people in the south to fight, and the people in the north will not want to fight over.

In this Jizhou, he called the king and the emperor.

Li Qi and Tang Pi once carefully calculated for the sake of going south.

In the northwest, at least 30,000 troops should be left behind, and they should always be ready to support General Liangzhou Tangtai.

In the line of Dingzhou, Xinzhou, and Youzhou to the north of Jizhou, at least 50,000 troops must be left, so that they can support northern Xinjiang at any time.

And in Jicheng and Jieshi Prefecture, there are also permanent troops, each of which is counted as an army, and 30,000 people go out.

Coupled with the soldiers and horses left behind in Jizhou, and the soldiers and horses assigned to various states and counties, 200,000 people are divided into one point like this, how many are left?

If the Ning army now has an army of 200,000, when it goes south, it will only have 30,000 or 40,000 people at most under the condition of ensuring that Jizhou will be fine.

Thirty or forty thousand people have to face Yuzhou, the base camp of Prince Wu.

Compared with the Northeast, the Northwest is more important.

In the area of Yanzhou in the northeast, it is only the Bohai Sea State that has to be faced, and although the land routes are connected, it is not difficult to defend it by crossing the mountains and gorges.

On the northwest side, it is facing dozens of countries.

He glanced at Li Qi, who was pondering in the carriage, and asked, "You are so thorough, when will you be able to go south?" ”

Li Qi said: "I have been in Jizhou for more than two years, and I have made Jizhou Road not to be left behind...... Days like this are not easy to come by. ”

He looked at the situation and said: "If I only have the ability to stabilize Jizhou, then let the people in this place live a stable life for a few years." ”

Shantai sighed: "Do you know that others compete for power, and what they want is the world." ”

Li Qi smiled: "I want people." ”

He shook his head.

Li Qi said: "I know what you mean, wait a minute, when I can draw more than 80,000 troops, I will definitely go south." ”

"I've calculated, I can help you by your side for a few years." ”

He looked up at the sky, a little sad.

"My father is in good health, it will not be a problem to stay in Liangzhou for another ten years, and in these ten years, you will have to operate in Jizhou for several years."

He looked at Li Qi and said, "There is only six or seven years left for me to accompany you south." ”

Li Qi smiled and said, "Guess, if Old Tang is here, how will he answer your words?" ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Probably he will say, will it take six or seven years to fight Jiangnan?" ”

Li Qi said: "No, he will say that it is only six or seven years?" Not...... Then you can still live in the Great Chu Capital City for five or six years. ”

The Sultan Realm laughed.

Li Qi said with a smile: "The ancients said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and Ningjun is a heavy weapon, not only heavy but also sharp, so you must polish more." ”

Tantai nodded in the realm: "I also understand this truth, but I am anxious...... If you are really beaten to Jingzhou by that guy from Luo Jing in one go......"

He was a little unconvinced and said, "Is it really to give him this Central Plains world?" ”

Li Qi said: "If he can hit Jingzhou...... I will thank him well. ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he laughed again.

Li Qi said: "Old Tang has long judged Luo Jing, and he is the first brave general in the world, but he is by no means handsome...... He may not even be able to gnaw at Yuzhou, let alone the heavy land of Jingzhou. ”

He leaned back to make himself more comfortable.

"Let the small realm fight first."

Li Qi smiled: "He can't fight, let's fight again." ”

"The small realm ......"

Li Qi: "Oh, I actually forgot, you are also a small realm." ”

Pressure on the Plateau: "......"

Li Qi looked at the Tai Pressure Realm and said, "Xiao Jingjing, don't be sad, smile?" ”

Pressure on the Plateau: "......"

At the same time, Anyang City.

For three months in a row, Luo Jing ordered the team to search for and collect ships along the river, no matter what kind of ship they were.

From the fishing boats of the villagers to the cargo ships of the caravans, as long as they see it, they will all be temporarily confiscated.

This time, the merchants who come and go to and from Nanpingjiang will be miserable.

Their ship was borrowed by Luo Jing, and God knows when it will be returned to them.

Even if they were to give it back, would they dare to go south to do business easily?

Unless Luo Jing hit Jingzhou in one breath and destroyed Dachu, and planted the Luozi banner on the wall of the capital Daxing.

Otherwise, because they lent the boat to Luo Jing, if Prince Wu knew about it, would he still be able to spare them?

But what can they do, in such a world, whoever has more soldiers in his hands can have the final say.

In the three months after returning to Anyang from Jizhou, Luojing gathered a large number of ships on the north bank of the river.

He is not afraid that Prince Wu's people will see it, he just wants to cross the river to the south in a righteous and bright way, and he wants to defeat Prince Wu in a righteous and bright way.

"Guan Feicheng."

Luo Jing looked at one of his generals.

Guan Feicheng immediately leaned over and said, "The subordinates are here." ”

Luo Jing walked to the huge sand table and pointed at the guide Pingjiang with a stick: "In the battle of crossing the river, you are the vanguard, and I will give you 50,000 people." ”

He asked Guan Feicheng: "If you still want anything, just mention it to me." ”

Guan Feicheng said: "My subordinates do have something to ask for the prince. ”

Luo Jing said: "Say it directly! ”

Guan Feicheng said: "My subordinates know that when the prince went east to attack Shu County, he had a young man named Gao Zhen ......."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Jing burst out laughing: "You are greedy!" ”

Luo Jing said: "Gao Zhen is only sixteen years old, I originally let him stay in the rear army, since you want him to ......"

He looked back at the young general and asked, "Gao Zhen, are you willing to follow Guan Feicheng to fight this first battle?!" ”

The young man immediately said, "My subordinates are willing to go!" ”

This young man has just turned sixteen.

It was a good talent that Luo Jing accidentally harvested when he sent people to lead the army to expand his territory along the river to the east.

He personally led a team of scouts to investigate the situation when he passed by a small village.

high

It's really the son of a fisherman in this village, who mistakenly thinks they are water bandits and wants to come to the village to plunder.

This young man single-handedly overturned twenty or thirty elite scouts under Luo Jing, and Luo Jing was stunned.

Luo Jing was interested, and personally dismounted, this Gao Zhen actually fought with him for dozens of rounds.

Of course, this is also because Luo Jing has a heart of love and talent, and it is not a life-and-death struggle.

Luo Jing was full of praise for him and brought him back to Anyang City.

After coming back, Luo Jing made him one of the captains of his own personal barracks, familiar with military affairs, and he could train him personally.

It's only been nearly a year since Gao Zhen was brought under his command, and Luo Jing wanted to see if this kid had grown again.

Seeing that Gao Zhen was willing to go, Luo Jing smiled and said: "Guan Feicheng is a vanguard general, you have to listen to him, don't be reckless." ”

"Yes!"

Gao Zhen responded, he looked at Luo Jing and smiled: "However, if I rush too quickly and throw off General Guan, you can't blame me." ”

Luo Jing laughed.

"Guan Fei has become a vanguard general, and all armies have been prepared, and they have long had the strength to fight, and you have the heart to fight a decisive battle."

Luo Jing said: "I've seen it, the day after tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the day after tomorrow morning, cross the river and go south!" ”

"Yes!"

His generals answered in a neat voice.

At the same time, the Northwest.

Li Qi and the others brought a military army of soldiers and horses this time, more than 12,000 soldiers, plus a team of more than 1,000 auxiliaries and more than 1,000 people, and the size of the team seems to be very large.

But Li Qi also knew that there would not be so many people needed to fight in the northwest.

He brought the team over, just to let the people in the northwest see how strong the Ning army was and how powerful the army was.

In fact, the reason is very simple, it seems that whoever is stronger, the people will be more afraid of whom.

Dean Gao said that to govern the people, we must first make them afraid, and then let them obey.

"It's a little boring."

Li Qi looked at the platform and said, "Why don't we slip away?" ”

Yutai was shocked: "You are King Ning!" ”

Li Qi said: "That thing is not interesting...... The march of the army is too slow, and it will take more than half a month to get to the place, so we will go first. ”

He smiled and said: "Ye Ce is cold and capable of literature and martial arts, just let him lead the troops to try, but he is just leading the team, so don't worry too much." ”

He still didn't dare: "Forget it, let the soldiers know that King Ning actually slipped away, this is not good." ”

Li Qi said: "It's good for them to get used to it in the future." ”

He looked at Yu Jiuling: "Ninth sister, pack up your things, let's go secretly." ”

Yu Jiuling laughed: "As long as we run fast enough, we can squeeze out at least one night......

Li Qi: "Get out, my mind is full of filth, I won't take you there." ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Don't don't, take me with me, can't I go to the Qinglou?" ”

"If you want to go, take the pro-military camp." ”

Li Qi shook his head: "It's not interesting to bring the pro-military camp, what's the difference between staying in the army, if you don't want to go, I'll take the ninth sister and Zhang Yuxu to go." ”

"Bring the Ting Lieutenant Army!" ”

Li Qi still shook his head: "If you don't bring it, you can't take it with you, it's not fun to travel in the mountains and rivers, and it's not fun to lead the team." ”

Yutai sighed: "You...... As King Ning, can you be more obedient? ”

Li Qi said: "As King Ning, it's not right for me to be obedient. ”

He smiled and said, "Pack up your things, let's slip away tomorrow morning." ”

The pressure on the realm couldn't be stopped, so he had to go to Ye Celeng and tell King Ning that he was going to leave first.

Of course, he can't say that Li Qi is greedy for fun, but that Li Qi is worried about the urgency of military affairs in the northwest, so he traveled lightly and rushed over first.

Ye Ce said coldly that King Ning is really extraordinary, and he deserves to be King Ning.

Rushing ahead of time with only a few people, if you are not a confident person, who can do this kind of thing?

Shameless people can do it.

Self-confidence is shameless, more can.
