"Shen Yan, this is the first time you and I have had such an exchange." A complicated look flashed in Qiu Mubai's eyes, Shen Yan returned to Jinling to retry the old case of the eldest princess and the horse, which had become an open secret, Qiu Mubai didn't pay much attention to Shen Yan's retrial of the case, but Shen Yan, this kid, actually made such a big move, if it wasn't for the relationship between Qiu Yingxue and Shen Yan, Qiu Mubai would not have talked to Shen Yan.

"Uncle, this is indeed the first time such a meeting." Shen Yan's eyes also flashed with a trace of doubt, not knowing the topic of Qiu Mubai's conversation with him.

When Shen Yan first heard that Qiu Mubai asked him to meet, a lot of thoughts flashed in his mind, it would not be that Qiu Yingxue wanted to marry him, and he had never come to the door to propose, this matter made Qiu Mubai anxious, but the Qiu Yingxue she knew should not be such a person, although she had a desire to marry, she would never do so, so it seemed that Qiu Yingxue couldn't get married, so Shen Yan overturned this slightly absurd idea by himself without thinking about it.

"Shen Yan, there are some things I don't want to say to you directly, and there is no need to say them to you directly, but these words are held in my heart and I don't spit them out, I feel very stuffy in my heart, and I have to vomit it quickly." Qiu Mubai looked at Shen Yan with an indifferent look, and there was a strange look in his eyes, whether Shen Yan was forced to be indifferent, or did he look very plain.

"If your uncle has anything to say, please say it directly, let's not talk about my relationship with Yingxue, just my uncle is an old man in the officialdom, and what he has accumulated and precipitated is a philosophy of survival, which is not something that can be heard casually." Seeing Qiu Mubai's expression, Shen Yan had a not very good feeling, as if Qiu Mubai wanted to teach himself some lesson, and for Ying Xue's face, he had to be prepared to go against the grain.

"I can't control if you want to overturn the case and show your ability to try the case, but you shouldn't choose the old case of the eldest princess and the horse, don't you know the dangers and pros and cons of this?" Qiu Mubai groaned slightly, originally thinking about going around with Shen Yan first, and then mentioning this matter, but then thought about it, Shen Yan is an understanding person, since this is the case, it is better to speak directly, so as not to cause some reverie to Shen Yan or let Shen Yan find a loophole to exploit, with Shen Yan's character, he can really do it.

September 15, 1103 in the continental calendar, Ganning County, Hung Yen Province.

"Order the whole army: hold high the banner of King Qin and attack Li Shun." After Li Chengming's holy decree reached Xing'an Mansion, Ye Zhiqiu indifferently instructed Yuan Shifeng and Xu Chengzong to lead the army to King Qin.

In fact, since the second day of the bonfire party, Ye Zhiqiu ordered the garrisons from all over the country to gather in Xing'an Mansion to accept his own inspection and review, and went to Jiulan City to prepare for King Qin, and in the process, ordered Yuan Shifeng and other government officials to actively prepare grain and grass and make preparations in advance for the expedition to King Qin.

"Appoint Xu Chengzong as the commander of the rebellion, Ye Feng and Hua Zheng as deputy marshals, Yuan Shifeng and Huo Tianxing as operational staff officers, and be ready to lead the army to Shengjing City at any time." Ye Zhiqiu ordered the command of the king of Qin, and at the same time issued a battle order loudly.

"At the same time, appoint Hua Zhengcheng as the commander of the rebellious army attacking Zhao Zihua's department, Leng Jianqiu as the deputy marshal, Huo Tianxing as a combat staff officer, and lead the army to the area of Baima Town tomorrow, this battle is mainly to contain Zhao Zihua's rebellion and cannot reach Shengjing City, and at the same time, find a suitable time to eliminate Zhao Zihua's rebel army as much as possible."

"Guo Jinghong was the acting governor of Ganning County, and during Yuan Shifeng's absence, he exercised the power of the governor to supply supplies, grain and grass for King Qin's army."

Although Ye Zhiqiu held high the banner of King Qin and issued King Qin's battle order, Ye Zhiqiu did not personally lead the troops to fight, but still chose to stay behind the scenes, and the various corps under his command were either separate or unified in battle.

This is not to say that Ye Zhiqiu wants to be lazy, but Ye Zhiqiu has already established a complete set of operational order, including a complete set of marching combat plans, Ye Zhiqiu only needs to understand the development of the situation behind the scenes and effectively carry out macro-control.

The reason why Ye Zhiqiu took Zhao Zihua first was that Ye Jiajun was the closest to Zhao Zihua's department, and if he wanted to enter King Qin of Shengjing City, he had to confront Zhao Zihua's department; the second is that Zhao Zihua has a huge momentum and great influence in Mengzi County; Third, no one in the surrounding area except for the Ye family army could resist Zhao Zihua's troops; Fourth, Zhao Zihua has led his troops to Baima Town, 35 miles outside Zhongping Town, and the troops are approaching Zhongping Town.

Ye Zhiqiu believed that as long as Hua Zhengcheng and others succeeded in defeating Zhao Zihua, Li Yi's rebel arrogance would be suppressed, and the next thing to do would be to implement King Qin of Shengjing City.

Just like this time he ordered Hua Zhengcheng to lead the army to attack Zhao Zihua's department, as for how the process is carried out, it is not his own concern, he only needs the result, besides, he has already implemented the strategy of delegating power, and second, he has an operational staff officer under his command, so why should he worry too much.

As a high-ranking person, you should know how to properly delegate power while grasping the overall situation, if you do everything yourself, don't you want to be tired to death, as for this, Ye Zhiqiu did a very good job.

After Ye Zhiqiu finished deploying the marching plan, he still stayed in Xing'an Mansion to discuss the economic construction of Ganning County with the merchants. In fact, Ye Zhiqiu knows better than anyone that the war is fought by the economy, and only when the economy takes off at a high speed can the war be given supreme support.

The next day, the news that Ye Zhiqiu was holding high the banner of King Qin sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and flew to every corner of the empire.

On September 17, 1103 in the continental calendar, the Imperial Palace of Shengjing City.

"Ye Zhiqiu has finally sent troops." When the news of Ye Zhiqiu's holding high the banner of King Qin reached the palace of Shengjing City, Li Chengming breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in his mouth.

The news of Ye Zhiqiu's dispatch of troops was undoubtedly a reassuring pill for Li Chengming, and it was like a long drought and a rainy day, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

"There is still hope for the empire, I am still the master of the empire, it seems that the goddess of fate has not abandoned me!"

Ye Zhiqiu's troops will first hit Li Wei in terms of momentum, once Li Zhiqiu's momentum is suppressed, he can save his life, not to mention, and continue to sit firmly on the throne under his ass.

"Ye Zhiqiu's military talent has to be admired, his combat style is like a whimsical but hitting the vital point, which is impossible to guard. As long as Ye Zhiqiu comes out, the civil war in the empire will end soon. Li Chengming didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't change that fact.

"Crowned Ye Zhiqiu as the deputy marshal of the imperial soldiers and horses, and led the army to the king." Li Chengming thought about it, and hurriedly gave Ye Zhiqiu a holy decree to seal the official.
