Chapter Sixty-Eight: This Matter Is Important
Lin Xiaodao's embarrassment and the tenderness that inadvertently flashed in Le Yingqing's eyes, Chen Ziqian saw it in his eyes, but he didn't poke it, but waved his hand to turn the page.
"Miss Le made a special trip, but what went wrong with General Le?" Chen Ziqian got up and walked to the side, and was about to pick up the kettle when Lin Xiaodao took the lead.
This guy is like Lu Meng in front of Zhou Yu, he is used to serving him closely, and he can understand Chen Ziqian's actions at will.
Le Yingqing glanced at the attentive Lin Xiaodao and then retracted his thoughts: "Brother is indeed a little confused, so he sent me to ask the adults for instructions." β
"Yes." Chen Ziqian took the boiled water handed over by Lin Xiaodao, took a sip and said: "Idle is also idle, it just so happens that I intend to go into the city to go around, why don't Miss Le go back and make arrangements, let me meet General Le in the city?" β
"That's very good, I'll go back and arrange it!" Le Yingqing's eyes lit up, and she had always heard Lin Xiaodao say that this lord was different, and he always had wonderful ideas, it was really better to meet than to meet, and he actually dared to meet her brother at this juncture.
Of course, Le Yingqing couldn't ask for it, so she retreated with a gift, which was quite resolute.
Chen Ziqian had a faint smile on his face, waved his hand to let Lin Xiaodao prepare, and then rode the white horse towards Pingyong City.
Recently, I have been staying in the barracks, in addition to often exchanging letters with Anyi, I have ignored the current situation in the world, and I don't know what the state of the princes in various places is now, so I just went into the city to inquire this time.
Of course, just recruited Le Jinghui, and added 40,000 horses under his hands, such a big matter, as the lord, it is still necessary to ask in person.
And in order to eliminate Zeng Yuanqi's concerns beforehand, and let Le Jinghui take the initiative to hand over the military power, Le Jinghui must be a little confused in his heart.
Presumably, Le Yingqing should also be here for this matter, but is it necessary to dwell on this kind of thing?
The surrender should have been a bit of a surrender, how could Zeng Yuanqi rest assured that he had a heavy army?
It is only a matter of time before he asks for military power, and it is better to take the initiative to show more sincerity when he waits for Zeng Yuan to speak.
In this way, it can not only eliminate Zeng Yuanqi's concerns, but also allow Le Jinghui to brush a wave of goodwill in front of Zeng Yuanqi, why not?
Besides, Le Jinghui has been a lieutenant in Pingyong for more than ten years, and the generals under him are all brothers who live and die, so how can that relationship be restrained by a military talisman.
It can be said that Le Jinghui only needs to respond, and 40,000 horses can be returned from Zeng Yuanqi's hands in minutes, and there is no need to worry about the problem of troop transfer.
The only trouble is that the team is broken up and separated, so that it is really possible that 40,000 horses will be cheaper than Zeng Yuanqi.
However, this trouble is not unsolvable, Zeng Yuanqi will either raise troops to crusade against Le Lin or stop fighting.
It is really the best to raise troops to fight against Lelin, so Zeng Yuan will need soldiers and horses, and there is no reason to break up the team at such a juncture and damage his combat effectiveness.
If Zeng Yuanqi chooses to take a truce and strike the war, then there is no need to worry about the team being dismantled, because Zeng Yuanqi does not fight Lelin, Chen Ziqian must exert his strength to fight Zeng Yuanqi.
With 40,000 horses in hand, coupled with a surprise attack, it was enough to catch Zeng Yuanqi off guard, and Anyi's side could also take advantage of the situation to capture Yong'an, so that Zeng Yuanqi could divide his troops to help.
Both sides exerted their forces at the same time, and Chen Ziqian was ninety percent sure that Zeng Yuanqi would be beaten into a lost dog, or even directly annihilated.
However, in this way, it is equivalent to starting a decisive battle with Zeng Yuanqi in advance, and even if he wins the battle in the end, he will definitely have to pay a lot of price, which is really a good idea.
The best way is to let Zeng Yuanqi and Le Lin fight first.
The praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, and quietly hides behind to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
β¦β¦
The two rode into the city slowly, and due to the recent war, the originally prosperous and lively Pingyong City became depressed and deserted.
The people in the city either went out to avoid trouble or locked their doors, and only some mainstream shops dared to open normally.
Of course, these shops are the property of the local wealthy families, who are inextricably linked to the local officials, and they are the same everywhere.
The so-called people in the DPRK and China are easy to do, and if they know the change in wind direction at the first time, they will naturally be able to take advantage of some advantages.
However, this also just illustrates a problem, that is, the social status of the wealthy family in this world.
As the saying goes, it is easy to attack a city, but it is not so easy to manage a city and a pool, especially when it comes to the interests of the family, those people want money and money, food and food, and they will raise some private soldiers to take care of the family and the courtyard, once united, it is definitely no less than a coup d'Γ©tat.
The problems involved in this are enough to disrupt the local order.
If Chen Ziqian wants to successfully receive Pingyong, he will inevitably deal with local clans in the future, although this problem is not imminent, but it must also be considered, if the relationship with Le Jinghui can be further improved, it can save a lot of trouble.
After all, Le Jinghui has been in Pingyong for so many years, and he has been able to sit firmly in the position of lieutenant for so long, and the relationship behind it is definitely not simple.
"Xiaodao and General Le have also dealt with each other, what do you think of this person?" Chen Ziqian thought of Le Jinghui's attributes, his character is filial and capable, but he is also a material that can be made.
Lin Xiaodao said without thinking: "General Le has a clear distinction between public and private, is decisive and straightforward, treats people well in private, and cares for his relatives, except for the fact that his martial arts are a little worse, there is nothing else to say." β
"What about Le Yingqing?"
"She!" Lin Xiaodao shook his head with a wry smile, and subconsciously blurted out: "Abrupt, reckless, careless, and sometimes cunning as a fox and elusive, anyway, I can't do anything about her except to subdue herself." β
"What if I promise her to you as a daughter-in-law?" Chen Ziqian had a playful expression on his face.
When Lin Xiaodao mentioned Le Yingqing, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth were raised, completely lacking the majesty he usually had.
Obviously, this kid is interesting to Le Yingqing, but he may not even be aware of that meaning.
"Xu, Xu to me!?" Lin Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, he is either living in the military camp or following Chen Ziqian now, he is alone, he doesn't even have a home, how can he have such a thought.
Lin Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Xiaodao is a rough man, where is he worthy of Miss Le." β
"What's not worthy of this?" Chen Ziqian said with a smile: "I told you before, when you settle down, let your mother help you talk about family affairs, I think Miss Le is very good, white skin, beautiful and long legs, hard conditions are not bad, if you want to say whether you are worthy or not, your family has also produced a general, her family has three generations of poor people, except for a brother who is a captain, there is almost nothing worth talking about, if you want to say that she is not worthy of you." β
"No, no, no......" Lin Xiaodao was a little panicked, and his old face turned red even more.
Chen Ziqian smiled and said: "In this troubled era, the continuation of the bloodline is the first priority, let's not engage in the right set of people, you are also in your twenties, if you don't solve your personal problems, you will charge into battle with me in the future, and there will inevitably be obstacles in your heart." β
"I ......"
"Don't tell me anything about no no or not, probably not now, but what about later? As the age continues to grow, the problem of no queen will only become more and more troublesome, as the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, you know this truth better than me. β
Chen Ziqian Balabala said that Lin Xiaodao was speechless, and he couldn't help but tease Lin Xiaodao's embarrassment: "It's okay, since Xiaodao doesn't like Miss Le, then I'll tell Taibai, he is also in his twenties and single......"
"Don't, I'm ...... I like it. Lin Xiaodao's face was red and his neck was thick, and he was about to jump up from the horse.
"But I think you're embarrassed, huh?"
"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, as long as the lord is the matchmaker, Xiaodao is willing to marry Miss Le!"
"What if Miss Le doesn't want to marry?"
"This ......" Lin Xiaodao was stunned again, and suddenly sobered up like a cold water pour.
Chen Ziqian couldn't help laughing: "The knife that has always been arrogant doesn't even have the confidence to get a girl?" β
"My lord is making fun of me again." Lin Xiaodao kept a straight face, secretly sulking.
Chen Ziqian shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm not having fun with you, this matter is very important, we need to contact the local family in the future, and General Le is indispensable to come forward to help, but those families are willing to buy General Le's face but may not be willing to buy my face, if you can deepen the relationship with General Le, you will naturally be able to gain a firm foothold in Pingyong more smoothly in the future, the stakes of this, do you know the knife?" β
