In the seventeenth year of the calendar, March 21

After nearly a month, Yan Kui met Qi He and Cao Yuanjiang again.

And without Yan Kui, the great prince of Qi, who had gained a lot in Nanling, said hello to Yan Kui with an unprecedented smile after reuniting with Yan Kui, with a very cordial attitude.

Of course, if he knew that Zhou Huaidao, who had finally succeeded in winning over, was tossed into an empty mansion by Yan Kuishengsheng, and Beiling Mansion was almost already Yan Kui's world, then the Duke of Qi would probably not be able to laugh.

Yan Kui didn't spoil Qi He's good mood, as if nothing had happened, he greeted Qi Cao and the others peacefully, and then asked with great interest about the two of them inspecting Nanling.

In fact, there is no need for Qi He and the others to tell them that there are two political allies, Qin Qi and Hua Wenzheng, Yan Kui's tentacles stretched to Nanling very deeply, and the dark web and the black-clothed guards have established their own intelligence networks in Nanling early on.

What Qi He and the others did after they arrived in Nanling, except for some particularly secret, the rest of the things couldn't be hidden from Yan Kui at all.

The reason why he asked this question was actually deliberate, to provoke the relationship between Qi Cao.

…………

According to the intelligence of the dark web, because of Yan Kui's strength in Beiling, Qi He and Cao Yuanjiang involuntarily began to approach, and there seemed to be signs of cooperation against Yan.

Yan Kui naturally didn't want to break with Cao Yuanjiang, an "ally and himself", and he didn't want this ally to take refuge under Qi He and oppose him, so of course he had to do something.

This trip to Nanling, because the government and the general army had already returned to Yan Kui, the only thing left for Qi Cao and the two to win over was Chao Ye, the general of Nanling Town, and the 80,000 border troops under him.

Qi He and Cao Yuanjiang in order to win over this Chao general, it was the eight immortals who crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, until in the end, it was Qi He who succeeded in victory by virtue of the advantage of his official position and the old relationship he had worked with Chao Ye.

The 80,000 border guards in Nanling have nominally returned to Qi He since then, and Cao Yuanjiang has been busy for more than half a month, and he has not even fished a chicken feather.

Comparing hearts to hearts, can Vice Envoy Cao be happy in his heart?

Yan Kui deliberately mentioned this stubble to Qi Cao and the others, just to praise Qi He, it is best to let him show more complacent, and then stimulate the depressed Cao Yuanjiang, so that there is a gap between the two.

…………

Yan Kui's intentions were not sinister, but he happened to choke the seven inches of the spring breeze at this time.

Liguo Gong suffered too much loss from Yan Kui in Beiling, and this time he recovered the 80,000 border troops in Nanling in one fell swoop, can he not show off in front of Yan Kui and raise his eyebrows.........

It's just that the big Duke Qi with his eyebrows dancing patronizes and Yan Kui, but ignores Cao Yuanjiang next to him.

No matter what happened to Yan Kui, there were still the Beiling border army and the government army at the bottom, not to mention that people had already taken the Nanling Mansion and government army without much effort.

Although Qi He has gained a lot in Nanling, Yan Kui can never talk about defeat.

On the contrary, it was himself, Baba ran with him for so long, and he didn't catch anything.

Although Cao Yuanjiang understood that Qi He's words were mainly aimed at Yan Kui, the more he listened, the more wrong he became, and the smile on his face began to be uncontrollable.

…………

Looking at Cao Yuanjiang's back as he left in a hurry, a smile flashed in Yan Kui's eyes.

Today was just an appetizer.

He didn't expect that a simple counter-plot could make the Qi Cao Alliance, which was slowly taking shape, collapse, Qi He and Cao Yuanjiang were not fools, and the city government was not so naïve.

Therefore, today is just the beginning, and it is Yan Kui who planted a seed in Cao Yuanjiang's heart.

As for how to make this seed grow into a towering tree in the future, it will slowly depend on Yan Kui's future means.

Next

Yan Kui and his entourage came to Hongyang Mansion City, Hongyang Mansion Yin Lizhi and the general soldier Yu Jinqi went out of the city to welcome everyone into the city to rest.

Because Hongyang was newly attached to the Northern Jin Dynasty, and there was a large-scale rebellion during the period, the transfer and promotion of Hongyang officials were somewhat complicated.

Li Zhi was transferred from Jizhou, and before that, he was the governor of a government in Jizhou, and this is how he was specially transferred by the Ministry of Officials to sit in Hongyang because of his strong political style and vigorous and resolute work.

I heard that the imperial court attaches great importance to this Lifu Yin, and hopes that he can quell the internal turmoil in Hongyang as soon as possible, win over the people, and let the people of Hongyang abandon Zhou Congjin.

And Li Zhi did not live up to the entrustment of the imperial court, and in the limited time after coming to Hongyang, he made several big moves in a row, and vigorously implemented his Li government in Hongyang.

I don't know what the effect of these government policies will be for the time being, but judging from the posture, this is obviously not a gold-plated party who has come to Hongyang to live a mixed life and wait for promotion.

…………

And when it comes to the gilded party in Hongyang, I have to mention the new chief soldier Yu Jinqi.

This is the diametrically opposed to the hard-working Li Zhi, who is an out-and-out bastard and waits for death.

Yu Zongbing's sister is a more favored concubine of Emperor Liyang today, thanks to the blessing of her sister, the emperor's nominal brother-in-law, from a five-grade military general in the capital, to become the Hongyang general.

You must know that because of the complicated situation in Hongyang, the strength of the Hongyang General Military Mansion is several percent more than that of the General Military Mansion.

The government army under the jurisdiction of the ordinary general military government ranges from 10,000 to 15,000, while the Hongyang army alone has more than 20,000 troops, which is regarded as auxiliary miscellaneous soldiers, with about 23,000 people.

This force, among all the general military mansions in the entire Northern Jin Dynasty, even if it is not the first, will never fall out of the top three.

If Hongyang wasn't located on the frontier, it might be possible to fight with the Zhou army, otherwise Yu Jinqi would have two sisters blowing pillow wind in front of Emperor Liyang, and it would not be his turn to be this fat difference.

However, it is precisely because of this that General Yu estimates that he will not stay in Hongyang for a long time, at most a year or two of hard work, and he will return to the capital with a good qualification.

Otherwise, the Zhou army will come over, can you expect him to lead his troops into battle to meet the enemy.

Joke, it is estimated that General Yu can come to Hongyang, and he also knows that Zhou Jun was too badly injured last time and did not dare to start a war easily, so he gambled with his life.

Bet that you can survive two years of peace, and then find a way to transfer back to the capital.

If he wins the bet, he will not only be successfully promoted to a two-level official position, but also have the qualifications of leading a soldier in the frontier, and more importantly, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money after two years of exile.

If you have money and can be promoted, what if you gamble your life, the most important thing in this world is people who gamble on their lives............

…………

One is a capable official of the imperial court, and the other is a gold-plated relative of the emperor in the coming days.

Which is more valuable.

Qi He and Cao Yuanjiang soon made a decision, Cao Yuanjiang took a fancy to the capable Li Zhi, and under the influence of his family education, he instinctively had a good impression of people like Li Fu Yin with a neat personality.

And Qi He is more inclined to Jinqi, don't look at this uncle himself, but he has soldiers in his hands.

There are more than 20,000 government troops, which is not a small number.

Not to mention that both of them have harem backgrounds, if they can unite and form an alliance, the forces that can be used by each other can be in the frontier, the daughter of the Duke of Qi and the sister of Yu Zongbing, and the two of them in the harem can also join forces in the palace.

At that time, inside and outside the palace, everyone will advance and retreat together, and the alliance relationship will be more stable.

Qi Cao and the others silently determined their goals, and Yan Kui was not idle, so he sent a letter and sent it to the border army camp in Hongyang Town.

There was his old acquaintance - Fang Rui, the general of Anbei in the Northern Jin Dynasty.
