Chapter 320: The Situation in the Central Plains
"Persuasion?" Li Qing smiled noncommittally, "If the leader of Sushun is willing, Li Qing can't ask for it." Su Shun shook his head, "Bayar is arrogant, he would rather die in battle than surrender, but Li Dashuai's calculation is wrong!" β
Li Qing laughed, "Sushun leader, Bayar is arrogant, but he is also an extremely rational person, let's wait and see, in a few days, our troops will go straight to the main city of Bayan Kala, these days, you will live in my camp with peace of mind, when the time comes, I will let you go to see Bayar, as for whether to persuade to surrender, hehe, I will know when the time comes!" β
Li Qing served tea to the guests, Tang Hu took Su Shun out of the big tent, handed it over to the guards guarding him, turned to Ming Yan who was waiting outside the big tent and said: "Director Mingyan, the handsome man is invited!" In order to limit the power of Qingfeng's growth, Li Qing stripped off the military intelligence survey from the statistical investigation department and became the military intelligence investigation department, which was led by Mingyan, who made a distinction in planning the second battlefield on the Western Front.
"Thank you, General Tang!" Mingyan skirt bowed to Tang Hu, she is not a breeze, she has always called Tang Hu a tiger, and even sometimes laughed and scolded him for being a rammer, and now Tang Hu's status in Dingzhou is quite special.
"Mingyan, hard work!" Li Qing smiled and accepted the cigarette salute, waved his hand to sit down, and looked at the bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate and lovely woman in front of him, and suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, the leaders of the two major spy agencies under his command were all women, but they were also very different. Excluding the fact that the abilities of these two people are indeed particularly outstanding, it is very likely that their subconscious is also doing tricks, and the secret service has always been a gloomy and mysterious feeling in people's images, maybe I feel that putting two beauties in it is likely to dilute this atmosphere a little.
"Why did you personally escort Su Shun over this time?" Li Qing asked.
Mingyan sat on the chair sideways, bowed slightly and said: "Mingyan is here, escorting Su Shun is just a passing, but in fact, there is another important matter to report to the marshal." β
"Oh?" Li Qingdao: "Mr. Shang specially asked you to come?" "Mingyan's Military Intelligence Investigation Department is subordinate to Shang Haibo's military government, and Li Qing has this question.
"Yes!" Tea flue.
"The first is about the situation in the Central Plains and related matters after we occupy Qixia Pass. The second is the internal affairs of the Military Intelligence Division. β
"Well, let's talk about the first thing first!" Li Qing took a sip of tea, since it was Shang Haibo who sent Mingyan to come over in person, the matter was naturally very important.
"Now it has been confirmed that the king of Ning in the south is definitely going to rebel, the time is likely to be around May, and now the southern rebellion in the three states after a period of calm, the war has started again, Gaizhou, Qingzhou war has risen again, Lu Xiaobo, Zhang Weiwei's army has swept the entire two states, the imperial army of the two states has been swept away, the local forces have been uprooted, and the two states have now gathered nearly 100,000 rebels." Tea flue.
Dingzhou has long suspected that LΓΌ Xiaobo and Zhang Wei have defected to King Ning, and now it is likely that the officers under King Ning are commanding the rebels.
"The situation of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and the Statistical Investigation Department corroborate each other, and it has been confirmed that a large number of grassroots officers in King Ning's army have been gathered under Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei, and the actual commander of this army is Zuo Yousheng, a general under King Ning." Tea flue.
"The picture is poor, King Ning didn't even bother to do the most basic cover-up, which means that he is indeed going to do it immediately. What about Qu Yongjie in Xingzhou? Li Qing asked.
Mingyan shook his head, "After Qu Yongjie arrived in the south, he barely gathered about 50,000 troops at that time, and later he retreated into Xingzhou, with Xingzhou Mansion as the center, the weak and the essence were retained, and he retained an elite of about 30,000 people, because of his close relationship with the Emperor of the Apocalypse at that time, so the equipment of this army was very good, but it could only barely maintain the situation in Xingzhou without deterioration, and now, King Ning's army did not assemble in the direction of Xingzhou, and Qu Yongjie did not plan to march to these two states, and his attitude was warm, Mr. Shang is worried that Qu Yongjie will also fall to King Ning, after all, Qu Yongjie has a close relationship with Emperor Tianqi, and Tianqi's death is unknown, Qu Yongjie must have doubts in his heart, King Ning is on the side of the Qing monarch, punishes the ministers, and avenges the emperor, which is very attractive to Qu Yongjie. If Qu Yongjie's Xingzhou completely fell to King Ning, then the territory under the direct control of King Ning would have the land of four states, and these four states were originally rich lands, and they could be used to raise hundreds of thousands of elite troops after only a few years of hard work. Mr. Shang is worried. β
Li Qing nodded, "Mr. Shang's concern is reasonable, King Ning has been operating for decades, accumulating for decades, accumulating thick and thin, and the energy is indeed very amazing." β
"Now King Ning and the direction of the imperial court are trying their best to win over Qu Yongjie, just a few days before I left, Qu Yongjie has been sealed, and promised that Qu Yongjie can expand the army to 50,000 to 100,000 people, and all the military expenses required will be borne by the imperial court, Xiao Haoran has made a lot of money!" Tea flue.
Li Qingdao: "As long as Qu Yongjie is stabilized, Xingzhou can contain the strength of nearly 100,000 people of King Ning, of course Xiao Haoran has to invest a lot of money, and he promised to let Qu Yongjie expand the army, which seems to be well-intentioned, so that Qu Yongjie can quickly rise into a new generation of powerful forces, but he really doesn't have a good heart!" The army spends money, it is like flowing water, Qu Yongjie expands the army on a large scale, and the military resources required are not affordable in Xingzhou, which is now beaten to a pulp, and King Ning cannot spend a lot of money to raise an army that he cannot fully control, so Qu Yongjie can only rely on Xiao to maintain the combat effectiveness of this army, and he can cause such a good effect with a little silver, Xiao Haoran is really spicy! Li Qing was amazed and deeply impressed by Xiao Haoran's old scheming.
Ming Yan said with a smile: "The handsome man is really powerful, Mr. Shang also said so at the time, he said that in this way, the Xiao family can stabilize Qu Yongjie for the time being, but it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, after all, once Xingzhou recovers, it is more than enough to raise an army of 100,000 people." β
"What about the East and the North?" Li Qing asked.
"The Lu clan in the north is paying attention to the Zeng clan in the east, the military strength of the Lu clan is stronger than the Zeng clan, but although the strength of the Zeng clan army is poor, the naval division is extremely powerful, with the geographical conditions of the big rivers in the east, once these two families start fighting, they may not be able to distinguish the winner in a short period of time!" Tea flue.
Li Qing showed a wry smile on his face, "The troubled times are coming, and the demons are dancing!" King Ning sharpened his knife in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but the Lu family coveted the wealth of the East and wanted to include it in his pocket. β
Mingyan glanced at Li Qing with some surprise, in her image, a soldier like Li Qing would never pity the people, and the battlefield was a stage for them to give full play to their talents, and it was the most effective shortcut to get the greatest benefits. And what Dingzhou is doing at the moment is all to prepare for the future march to the Central Plains, how can the marshal have such a reaction.
Li Qing saw Mingyan's reaction in his eyes, knew her inner thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Mingyan, I fight, the form may be no different from these people, but in essence there is the biggest difference, I fight for future generations not to fight again, what I want to do is to dominate the world, seek the happiness of the people, and open the peace of all generations." β
Mingyan's body was shocked, and he stood up and saluted Li Qing, "Mingyan misunderstood the handsome, and asked the handsome to forgive Mingyan's rudeness." β
Li Qing laughed, "I know in my heart that I am in the world, but I just have a clear conscience, I am afraid that in the eyes of the world, I am no different from them, but what does it matter if I am misunderstood for a while?" Maybe what I did will not be concluded until after I die, what is the crime of Mingyan, let's not discuss this issue, but you said that after we occupied Qixia Pass, was Wu Zecheng angry? β
Mingyan pursed his lips and smiled, "The big handsome guessed accurately, not only Wu Zecheng was angry, even Xiao Haoran was also shocked, from Luoyang to Bingzhou, a month's journey, Wu Zecheng rushed back in the starry night within half a month, and as soon as he came back, he solemnly negotiated with me Dingzhou, asking us to withdraw from Qixia Pass, but in the words of the military advisor, eating the meat in the mouth, there is no reason to spit it out." Lu Zhizhou has been fighting a lawsuit with them for a while, anyway, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, Qixia is in our hands, what can they do to me? β
"Oh!" Li Qing said with interest: "Didn't Wu Zecheng do anything in the military?" β
"He mobilized tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops in Changfeng County, which is closest to Qixia Pass, and threatened that if we did not withdraw from Qixia Pass, we would seize it by force, but after we occupied Qixia Pass, we transferred all the Panshi battalions here, and General Li Feng's Yizhou Battalion also left half of the cavalry, nearly 10,000 troops to guard Qixia Pass, with the steepness of Qixia Pass and the weakness of the Bingzhou Army, it is strange that we dare to go to war, and it is just a great shout!"
"What about Xiao Haoran?"
"Xiao Haoran is now focusing all his energy on preparing to deal with King Ning's large-scale attack, and he has time to take care of this matter, so he just sent us an official document, saying that it doesn't hurt or itch, and Shang Junshi doesn't bother to respond."
Li Qing laughed, the timing of seizing Qixia Pass was very good, now I am afraid that except for Wu Zecheng, the rest of the forces have no time to deal with it, I am afraid that King Ning is still hoping for this? Thinking of this, Li Qing's heart sank suddenly, did King Ning have thought of this ending when planning this matter, if this is the case, then King Ning's scheming is too terrible. At least he occupied Qixia Pass, and he contained Wu Zecheng's tens of thousands of troops, you know, Wu Zecheng is Xiao Haoran's ally!
"Oh, there is one more thing, that Li Shanbin, after being caught by Wu Zecheng's subordinates in Bingzhou, was rescued by Zhong Ziqi before he had time to escort him to Wu Zecheng, and after Li Shanbin got out, he made public remarks, saying that what he did was completely instigated by Wu Zecheng, and now that things are not harmonious, he wants to kill him, and he is so angry that Wu Zecheng is one Buddha ascends to heaven, and two Buddhas enter the ground."
"This time, Wu Zecheng fell into the trousers with yellow mud, it's not but!" Li Qing said with a smile.
Mingyan's face flushed slightly, and Li Qing realized that he was in front of the girl, and this was rude.
"By the way, don't you have another thing about the Military Intelligence Department? What is it? Li Qing quickly diverted the topic.
