Leaving Mao Wenlong's residence, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbid breath and looked up at the sunset on the horizon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sunset by the sea is extremely magnificent, full of afterglow, on the river surface under the cliff at your feet, reflecting a crimson corridor, Ambilight, like a five-clawed golden dragon, about to come to life.

The conversation with Mao Wenlong was quite pleasant, and Mao Wenlong gave a positive attitude to several of Li Yuanqing's proposals.

But Li Yuanqing understands that it is easy to say, but it is much more difficult to do.

At this time, the rout of the Guangning Army on all fronts, and the outstanding military exploits of Mao Wenlong's various units, the comparison is really a little too obvious, and some are too eye-catching.

It's like a double-edged sword.

If it is used well, your own strength will definitely reach a higher level, but on the contrary, if you are dragged down by fame and honor, and you will fall into the quagmire of war from which you cannot extricate yourself, this ......

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked down at the river under his feet.

At this time, this small river flowing at the bottom of the cliff, because of the afterglow of the setting sun, looks like a flowing golden dragon, but the cliff terrain on both sides is firmly stuck in it, unable to move......

As the ancients said, 'It is not cold in a high place'.

People are not sages, in the face of the coming overwhelming praise, even if it is Mao Wenlong, how can he still keep his head clear?

But at this point, Li Yuanqing can't say anything more.

Mao Wenlong's ambition is to be a marquis, and the honor at this time is like a golden key, which has opened the door for him, and it won't be long before he becomes the minister of the little emperor of the Apocalypse.

At that time, there will only be thunder, no rain, only flowers, and no fruits, even if Mao Wenlong can accept it, but the emperor, the court, how can it accept it?

The sages said, "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." ”

Li Yuanqing is not Mao Wenlong after all, so naturally he can't make a decision for Mao Wenlong.

But things can actually be considered from a different angle, at this time, if Mao Wenlong chooses a radical strategy, it is actually not a bad thing.

If Mao Wenlong launched a large-scale offensive in Liaodong, it would also revive the prestige of the imperial court and attract more Liao people to come and defect, which would also be beneficial to Li Yuanqing.

But there is an important premise that the imperial court must keep up with the baggage, provisions, and military salaries of Mao Wenlong's headquarters.

Unfortunately, according to the current situation of the imperial court, this is obviously somewhat difficult.

Li Yuanqing rubbed his temples tiredly, trying his best to soothe his mind.

Since you can't change the general trend, then do your best first.

Just like the two poles of the Cold War in later generations, the Soviet army's combat strength was not not weak, and its equipment and weapons were not not advanced enough, but the military industry was abnormally strong and prosperous, but the basic economic industries in China collapsed.

Eggs can't always be put in one basket.

As long as Li Yuanqing's side can gain a foothold, even if the imperial court is not replenished by then, Li Yuanqing will have the opportunity to feed back to the headquarters.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanqing was also relieved.

At this time, the situation is very good, and if you want to stop falling into the quagmire of the historical Dongjiang Group, this will be the best opportunity to change.

Back at the station, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan had just gotten up.

The two of them are also massive, but they really can't stand the crowd offensive of these generals in the headquarters, and when they saw Li Yuanqing coming, both of them were still a little dizzy.

"Yuanqing, why did you go? Mao Chenglu came over just now, and he had a treat in the evening, so let's continue to tidy up. Chen Zhong rubbed his head and said.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, "Brother Chen, when did Mao Chenglu come over?" Does he want to kill? ”

Zhang Pan smiled, "Yuanqing, do you have anyone who is afraid?" It's okay. The three of us him down at night. ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly shook his head, Mao Chenglu is also a large number of people, and he has many generals in the headquarters to rely on, even if he can overturn him, I am afraid that the three of them will definitely not be able to take advantage.

Killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself is not wise.

But they are all their own brothers, they haven't seen each other for so long, and it is not easy to have a chance to get together, if you don't go, it is not appropriate.

Li Yuanqing's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had to think of a way as soon as possible.

Just thinking about it, Mao Chenglu and Chen Jisheng walked in with a smile one after the other.

"Haha. Yuanqing, I finally caught you this time. Don't say anything, my brother has a treat tonight, hurry up. ”

Mao Chenglu grabbed Li Yuanqing's arm and dragged him out, as if he was afraid that Li Yuanqing would slip away.

Chen Jisheng smiled: "Chenglu, what are you anxious about?" We're all here, and we're afraid this kid will run away. ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled bitterly: "My brother, the younger brother will listen to your arrangement tonight, you let you drink as much as you want, the younger brother will drink as much as you want, right?" ”

Mao Chenglu smiled, "Yuanqing, this is pretty much the same." ”

A few people frolicked a few words, and Chen Jisheng smiled: "Yuanqing, let's go out for a walk." ”

Li Yuanqing understood, Chen Jisheng had something to say to himself.

Speaking of which, since going to Guanglu Island, Li Yuanqing and Chen Jisheng have had a lot fewer opportunities to communicate, and the relationship has also become a little different.

Even if there was unhappiness in it, but after all, it was Chen Jisheng, Li Yuanqing took Mao Wenlong's chariot, Li Yuanqing also wanted to mend the relationship between the two, nodded happily, and followed behind Chen Jisheng.

The temporary residence of Li Yuanqing and the three of them is located at the foot of the hillside.

A few miles ahead, there is a vast sea, and the white sand stretches like a white ribbon on both sides.

The surrounding open space is densely dotted with many thatched houses, which are the residences of many strong people on Phi Island.

Li Yuanqing followed Chen Jisheng to a huge reef at the bottom of the hillside, Chen Jisheng stepped on the reef and said with a smile: "The scenery here is so beautiful. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "When will Jiannu be destroyed, it's not bad to retire here." ”

Chen Jisheng smiled, "Yuanqing, you really didn't disappoint me. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, it's just luck." If you were there, you should do better than I did. ”

Chen Jisheng laughed, "Yuanqing, you're still so careful." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and said nothing, with Chen Jisheng's understanding of himself, this didn't need to explain anything at all.

Chen Jisheng smiled, letting the sea breeze blow across his face and blow his hair away, "Yuanqing, what's your next step?" ”

Li Yuanqing made it clear that according to Chen Jisheng's identity, if he wanted to be released, it would definitely be impossible in a short period of time.

He is Mao Wenlong's right-hand man, and he has to do many things on Phi Dao himself, including the subsequent offensive, and he is also the most important strategist.

This time, Li Yuanqing and the three of them were able to enter Beijing to face the saint, and naturally the envy and jealousy of the generals of the headquarters were indispensable, and Chen Jisheng should also be very envious of this opportunity.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "This time Guangning has fallen, and there are probably not many wars in southern Liaoning." If the war on the Eastern Front of the headquarters starts, the younger brother will also ask the eldest brother to take care of it and mix some merits with the headquarters. ”

Chen Jisheng laughed, "Yuanqing, if there is such an opportunity, I also hope that our brothers will fight side by side." ”

Li Yuanqing understood Chen Jisheng's thoughts, he wanted to find a sense of existence or satisfaction from his side, Li Yuanqing followed his words, and soon, the atmosphere between the two became harmonious.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Jisheng smiled and said, "Yuanqing, let's go back." They should be in a hurry. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile and asked casually, "Big brother, how is the state of grain and grass in the headquarters now?" ”

Chen Jisheng glanced at Li Yuanqing and couldn't help laughing: "What? There's a shortage of food and grass on your side. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "The population has increased a lot, and it is really difficult to miss the time of farming." ”

Chen Jisheng nodded, "Let's talk about it when you come back from Jingshi." The grain and grass here in the headquarters are not very abundant, and when you come back, the supplies of the imperial court should also be allocated. When the time comes, my brother will leave you more. ”

Li Yuanqing had already understood the state of the headquarters, so he didn't say anything more, and followed behind Chen Jisheng.

…………

Another night of hangover, at this time, it was already the sixth day of the first month of March, and the things in Phi Dao were almost the same, and Li Yuanqing didn't dare to stay in Phi Dao any longer, he was really afraid of these generals.

Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan were similar, the three of them had a brief discussion, said goodbye to Mao Wenlong at noon, and immediately left Phi Dao, first returned to Guanglu Island, and then prepared to go to Beijing to face the saint.

Mao Wenlong did not have too many qualitative requirements for the three of them to enter Beijing to face the saint this time.

After all, the three of them are all Mao Wenlong's direct generals, and Mao Wenlong has to account for the majority of the merits of the three.

It's also a sign of absolute confidence and control.

Otherwise, if there are other generals under their command who want to face the saint, then they will not have to instruct a thousand children 800 times, and they will be eager to teach them sentence by sentence.

Li Yuanqing's mood was also extremely happy, entering Beijing to face the saint, this is the ultimate honor for their kind of mud legs, especially Chen Zhong, double happiness is coming, this guy's mouth is about to pull to the back of his head.

On the deck, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, let's get better as soon as possible." Brother Chen's mother-in-law is about to give birth, and there is less than a month. If we travel quickly, Brother Chen will come back just in time for his sister-in-law to give birth. If we neglect it, it will be our sin. ”

Zhang Pan also reacted and said with a smile: "That's nature." Yuanqing, thanks to your reminder, otherwise, this would be a sin. Lao Chen, let's go to Guanglu Island first, and I'll send someone to explain to Lushun, and then go directly to Beijing. ”

Chen Zhong smiled, "It's okay." Let's explain it all. Although there is no war now, we can rest assured that we can rest assured. ”

From Zhenjiang all the way to the present, especially when he is about to have a son or daughter, Chen Zhong's temperament is also much calmer than before.

Li Yuanqing also smiled and nodded in agreement, and asked Zhang Pan: "Brother Zhang, I saw that the ship that the imperial court messenger took before seemed to be much faster than ours." ”

Zhang Pan smiled: "That's nature. Yuanqing, that's the fast oars of the imperial court. If you drive at full power, the speed is twice as fast as that of a sand boat like ours. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, now this kind of ordinary sand boat, smooth wind and water, day and night, can sail for about 100 miles, if it is a fast paddle boat, wouldn't it be able to travel 200 miles a day?

If you can get a few of these fast paddle boats, then whatever you do, it will be much faster.

Zhang Pan certainly understood Li Yuanqing's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, it's not difficult to get a few of these fast oars. When we come back from Jingshi and get the reward, my brother will find a way for you. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, since Zhang Pan said so, he must have an acquaintance in the sailor of Juehua Island, so it was really a lot more convenient.

"Hey, hey. That's thanks to Brother Zhang. ”

The three of them were talking, but they saw that not far ahead, there was a fast oarboat with the dragon flag of the Great Tomorrow, the sun and the moon, speeding towards their side.

The faces of the three of them all changed, and they were a little unclear.

At this time, the fast oars boat and the sand boat stood side by side, and a man in a thousand official robes shouted on the deck: "Are you Zhang Shoubei, Chen Shoubei, and Li Shoubei under Mao Shuai?" ”

Zhang Pan nodded in acknowledgement.

The thousand households were overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The humble position is Zhao Liang, the sailor of Juehua Island, and he invited the three of them to go to Liaoxi on the orders of a group of adults. ”
