Today is obviously not a good time to drink, and the luncheon has not been going on for long, and it has already ended in half an hour. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Wenzhao can crawl out of Guan Ning's muddy soup, obviously~, he has already passed the period of youth and frivolity of 'there is no one else with me'.

He did not refuse Li Yuanqing's gift, and after lunch, he went directly to Inspector Yuan's staff and bookkeepers to 'chat'.

Cao Wenzhao left, Chen Zhong also relaxed a lot, but he said to Li Yuanqing with some puzzlement: "Yuanqing, Cao Wenzhao is a guy, but he is a general, why treat him so well?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Big brother, many friends and many roads." Cao Wenzhao's character is still good. Today, if Inspector Yuan doesn't come, we must speed up a little faster. Big brother, in the afternoon, you go and watch it in person, and after the handover is completed, we will set off overnight. ”

Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and nodded heavily: "Yuanqing, don't worry." He Yuan Manzi doesn't want to see us, he thinks Lao Tzu will treat him? When we're done here, we'll leave right away. ”

…………

All the handover materials have already been sorted out by Li Yuanqing before, and Cao Wenzhao does not need to make too much effort to count them.

Especially after Cao Wenzhao had a good 'chat' with these staff members and bookkeepers, the whole efficiency flew up immediately.

Approaching dusk, all the handover affairs were almost coming to an end, and Cao Wenzhao finally had time to chat with Li Yuanqing alone.

The two hid in the middle of several chicken carts piled high with armor, and one lit a cigar.

Cao Wenzhao said in a low voice: "Li Shuai's kindness, Wenzhao remembers it in his heart. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother Cao, my own brother, I will see the outside world when I say this." Our road is still long. ”

Cao Wenzhao smiled slightly bitterly, glanced at Li Yuanqing, struggled for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Li Shuai, to be honest, I am now, I have ...... I'm already a little tired of life in Liaoxi. If possible, I, I would like to go back to my hometown in the northwest. ”

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but after a moment, he had already stretched out, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, no matter what you do, try not to go against your own heart." If you can do something you love, it's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Cao Wenzhao didn't expect Li Yuanqing to support him...... This seems to be a somewhat rebellious choice...... After all, it was not easy for him to survive in Liaodi......

After a moment, he hurriedly said: "Li Shuai, you, don't you really think that Wen Zhao is a coward's act?" ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Brother Cao, what is a coward?" What is a warrior? Brother Cao, there are too many things, everyone knows them. Yuanqing has always thought that being down-to-earth is the most real. ”

Cao Wenzhao also understood what Li Yuanqing meant at this time, and couldn't help but nod heavily, and after a moment, he said in a low voice: "Li Shuai, Liu Fei's matter, Wenzhao will do his best." As soon as there is news, Wen Zhao will notify Li Shuai in time. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded and said in a low voice: "Brother Cao, this matter, just push the boat down the river." If you have a problem, don't go against the trend. Yuanqing is still the same old saying, our days are still long. ”

Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but be even more moved, "Being able to intersect with Li Shuai is the greatest honor of Wenzhao's life." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook Cao Wenzhao's hand, "Brother Cao, Yuanqing has always believed that it is impossible for dark clouds to cover the sun all the time. Today's separation is just for a better meeting tomorrow. If there is anything or any difficulty, you can send someone to inform me in time, and Yuan Qing will definitely go all out within his ability. ”

Cao Wenzhao shook Li Yuanqing's big hand heavily, "Li Shuai, definitely." ”

…………

As the sun set, after a simple farewell ceremony, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong led more than 10,000 Liaonan sons and soon embarked on the road back.

Looking at this neat bright red figure under the warm sunset, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.

This pond of water in Liaodi is really ......

When~, can he be like Li Yuanqing...... How can it be so free?

On the galloping war horse, Li Yuanqing looked back at Cao Wenzhao's figure behind him, which was getting smaller and smaller, and he was a little melancholy in his heart for a while.

Liaodi, Daming, it's not that there are no good men, it's a pity......

If he wants to change his own destiny and change the fate of more people, he needs greater rights.

If we don't break this old shackle, how can we talk about a new life?

Even if the process is painful!

…………

In a flash, more than ten days have passed, and the time has come to the beginning of July.

After more than a month of hard work, the affairs of the seaside camp have been basically dealt with, and the last batch of Dingkou has also boarded the ship and returned to Changsheng Island.

At this time, it was the height of summer, and the weather was already extremely hot.

Although Wang Chengen sent someone to send a handwritten letter inviting Li Yuanqing to Beijing, Li Yuanqing did not agree, but stepped on the big ship to return to Changsheng Island.

With Wang Chengen to contact and maintain, Emperor Chongzhen's side, Li Yuanqing was not too anxious.

As the saying goes, "what you can't get is the best".

Before Li Yuanqing, he was too deferential to Jingshi, so that Emperor Chongzhen mistakenly thought that he, Li Yuanqing, was the best target.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had reached a compromise with Inspector Yuan, whether it was long-term or near-term, they were all controlled to a certain extent, and Li Yuanqing also had more time to manage his Changsheng Island, which was a three-acre of land, and he didn't have much time to accompany Emperor Chongzhen to play with children.

It's just that although the momentum on all lines is still smooth, it has been almost half a year, and Li Yuanqing has not received information from Mao Wenlong's side on the eastern front.

This made Li Yuanqing a little anxious.

Even if Mao Wenlong sends troops, at this time, the Houjin Army has been back to the DPRK for more than a month, and Mao Wenlong's side should stop, why has there been no news?

On the sixth day of July, the fleet successfully returned to Changsheng Island.

For the disposal of these more than 70,000 dingkou, Li Yuanqing had already made precise arrangements, and first transported them to the camp on the first line from Yangguanbao to Nanxinkou for training.

After three or five months, their 'brainwashing' work, including discipline, hygiene habits, work skills, and other aspects, met the requirements of the island, and Li Yuanqing rewarded the sons and daughters with the merits of the female dependents, and at the same time, from among these young people, selected a new reserve team to stabilize them.

As for those little two thousand Tartar slaves, they were naturally directly distributed to Nakajima and Nishijima.

Li Yuanqing can indeed spare their lives temporarily, but ~, they must create enough labor value!

Returning to the most familiar official hall after a long absence, Li Yuanqing's spirit suddenly relaxed a lot.

Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu, Yang Jiao~Niang, Zhang Baozhu, Cong Gulun, Ren Yinger and other wives and concubines of Li Yuanqing came to greet each other.

At noon, Li Yuanqing set up a grand family banquet at home to reunite with his wives and concubines and children.

After a comfortable lunch, Li Yuanqing, accompanied by Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu, returned to the inner study, and was ready to enjoy the warmth of 'Xiao Biesheng Newlywed', but Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma had already come to the door.

Although Li Yuanqing was a little helpless, he had to get down to business first.

In the outer study, Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu personally served fragrant tea to the three of them, and Shang Lao Liu said with a smile: "Yuanqing, me and Lao Ma have become sinners again this time." ”

Steward Ma also smiled: "Dashuai, you have to explain this matter to our brothers and sisters." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and threw a cigar to the two of them, "Knowing this, it's not a long story short, otherwise, I won't be able to save you." ”

The three of them smiled and greeted each other, and Shang Lao Liu's face became solemn, "Yuanqing, these days, Lao Ma and I, as well as my colleagues from the Political Affairs Bureau, after careful statistics, the harvest of our expedition this time seems to be not as abundant as previously calculated." ”

Shang Lao Liu said, handing an account book to Li Yuanqing's hand.

Li Yuanqing opened it and glanced at it, and several important expenses were annotated in cinnabar red.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled: "The key problem in this expedition is that I have given too many gifts. In terms of property, it is reasonable that there is very little left. However, these war horses and armor materials are our net profits. Overall, the problem is not too big. ”

Hearing that Li Yuanqing set the big tone, Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma were relieved, and a big stone in their hearts also fell to the ground.

Shang Lao Liu said again: "Yuan Qing, in this battle, there is not much entanglement between us and Yuan Manzi, why do you still give him such a rich reward?" ”

Steward Ma was also a little puzzled by this, and hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing took a deep puff of his cigar and said with a smile: "This matter, just a few words, it seems that some explanations are not clear. However, Brother Shang, Steward Ma, I have a hunch that Inspector Yuan's side, I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be a big move. At this time, we can only choose to break the fortune and avoid disasters for the time being. ”

Shang Lao Liu frowned, "Yuanqing, you mean ......?"

Li Yuanqing said: "Jinzhou, Fuzhou, I have decided to completely cede Inspector Yuan." Brother Shang, Steward Ma, these days, you must be prepared to receive the population and property of these two places as soon as possible. ”

Steward Ma couldn't help but gasp, "Dashuai, this matter, yes, is it so serious?" ”

Li Yuanqing slowly spit out a mouthful of thick mist: "Brother Shang, Steward Ma, our ancestor has a good saying." I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. At this time, let's be careful. By the way, you two, is there any news from Phi Dao? ”

Shang Lao Liu said: "Yuanqing, I was about to tell you about this." We have not been in contact with Phi Dao for two months. When we got the latest battle report from Phi Dao, it was two months ago. Mao Shuai had already led the army to advance to the front line of Fengcheng and Xin'anbao at that time. ”

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, Mao Wenlong was really not idle......

It's getting more and more complicated!

Unlike Li Yuanqing, although Li Yuanqing's contact with the imperial court has also begun to bypass Liaoxi, on the whole, especially when there is a war report, Li Yuanqing will still go to Liaoxi to some extent, maintaining the rules of face.

But ~, Mao Wenlong's side has already completely bypassed Liaoxi and directly unilaterally contacted the imperial court.

Even, Mao Wenlong and Denglai were not particularly pleasant.

This makes Dongjiang's situation at this time a little embarrassing.

And Mao Wenlong has been holding his breath, wanting to use a big victory to slap these factions and systems in the face.

It's just that, even at this point, the effect is not too ideal......

After a while, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, "Brother Shang, Steward Ma, this matter will be put on hold for the time being." Let's take care of our own affairs first. Especially the work of Xindingkou, there must not be half a point of neglect! ”

"Yes!"
