Chapter 17: Where to go

On October 20, the tenth year of the Apocalypse, all the high-level battalions in the Changsheng camp gathered in Li Qing's camp tent, and the first formal meeting since they became a camp was held.

Wang Qinian and the three of them are okay to lead the troops, such a discussion is obviously beyond their ability, except for opening their mouths wide and sticking up their ears, they can't do anything, and Tang Hu and Yang Yidao, who are standing next to Li Qing, seem to be unable to do anything else except be two door gods, so the discussion is mainly between Li Qing, Lu Yiming, and Shang Haibo.

"General, I don't think Xiao Yuanshan and Fang Wenshan will go too far, after all, they also relied on the help of my Li clan to get through this pass this time, and they will repay Li with peach, I think the general's situation should not be too difficult." Lu Yiming is confident.

Li Qing nodded, "Mr. Lu is right, I think so too, I can deal with it in the short term, but I'm afraid of this reorganization, we all know that the Dingzhou Army is not a forbidden army, and the military capital of the imperial court has always only provided thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent has to be raised by itself. ”

Lu Yiming said: "The general's concerns are good, so this time we must earn a better county, at least a medium county, so that we can raise enough food and the Changsheng battalion can develop and grow." ”

Shang Haibo sneered, Lu Yiming turned his head and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, we are so busy here, you don't say a word, what's the reason?" ”

Shang Haibo chuckled: "Is there anything else to think about?" ”

Li Qing glanced at him dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Shang, we are deliberating, if you have any ideas, you can say it, don't be ashamed." ”

Seeing that Li Qing was dissatisfied, Shang Haibo straightened his expression and said: "General, in fact, you don't have to think about this, where Dingzhou is the poorest and where it is the most difficult, it will definitely be distributed to us as the source of the land." ”

"What's the reasoning?" Lu Yiming sneered: "Before the person left, is the tea already cold?" The Xiao Fang family wouldn't be so shameless, right? ”

Li Qing also said in disbelief: "What is the basis for Mr. Shang's words, what is the basis for his words, is he going to tear his face?" ”

Shang Haibo said: "The general will understand when he thinks about it, this time the general was promoted, and the Li family helped the Xiao family get through the difficulties, what is this?" ”

"It's a deal!" Li Qingdao.

"Yes, it's a deal." Shang Haibo said with a smile: "The transaction has been completed, the general has been promoted, Xiao Yuanshan is safe and sound, the two families have their own place, and then the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road, is it possible that the Xiao Fang family is still watching the general grow and develop?" I'm afraid that now they are thinking about how to pull out the nail of the general, so that the general cannot survive, cannot gain a foothold, and then leaves automatically. ”

Li Qing's heart jumped, "It's so obvious, aren't you afraid of my Li family's rebound?" ”

Shang Haibo smiled: "Are the Xiao Fang clan and the Li clan friends?" Isn't it, their power is smaller than the Li family, isn't it small? If there is advantage, it will be combined, and if there is no profit, it will be divided, what is there to say. ”

"Then, in Mr. Ir's opinion, where is our Changsheng Camp most likely to go?" Li Qing couldn't help but glance at Shang Haibo.

Shang Haibo took out a map of Dingzhou from Li Qing's desk, and pointed: "General, please see, the richest place in Dingzhou, of course, is the periphery of Dingzhou City, no one has to think about this place, it must be the place of Xiao Yuanshan, and at present, the most effective in the Dingzhou army is the Lu Dalin Department of the Central Association, in order to prevent the barbarians from entering the border again, Xiao Yuanshan will definitely put the Central Association in Dingyuan, Weiyuan, Zhenyuan three military fortresses, although these three military fortresses are the closest to the barbarians, but also the richest place, not only rich in production, but also can trade with the barbarians, After the war is over, the business still has to be done, the barbarians need to sell the usual supplies, iron, and salt to Dingzhou, this business tax alone is enough for Lu Dalin to eat and drink, and although Fuyuan is a remote place, but guarding the flank of Dingzhou, the county where it is located is also good, this place must belong to Lu Dabing's selection camp, because once something happens in Fuyuan, Lu Dalin will definitely not let it go, and go into battle to be a brother! ”

Shang Haibo talked eloquently, and in a blink of an eye, Dingzhou had been carved up, and finally designated a place, "This is the territory of our Changsheng camp." ”

"Chongxian?" Li Qing couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Yes, it's Chongxian!" Shang Haibo said coldly. "Chongxian is mountainous, itself is already extremely poor, this time the barbarians entered the Kou, went deep into Dingzhou, burned Chongxian County, which was not on the border, and plundered countless people, and the population did not survive one in ten, and put the general's Changsheng camp here, where did the general go to raise money, where to replenish the soldiers? The general's current Changsheng battalion only has more than 1,000 people, and if you want to make up for the full quota of 3,000 people, you don't need to count on Xiao Yuanshan. There are no people and no soldiers, how can the general gain a foothold, even if the general has the support of the Li family and does not worry about the source, but without a strong army, he cannot seek benefits for the Li family, will the Li family contribute money for a useless force? I'm afraid that the Li family will also let it go and let the general fend for himself. ”

Li Qing's face was gloomy, "In this way, it can't be explained?" Only one way to Chongxian? ”

Shang Haibo nodded and said, "Yes, Chongxian must be the general's garrison." ”

"I ask you if you have a solution?" Li Qing asked in a deep voice.

Shang Haibo shook his head, "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time, and at the moment, the general can only ask for some other benefits as much as possible in the reorganization, and he can also make up for it a little." ”

"Something else? Food, ordnance, or something else? Li Qing asked.

Shang Haibo shook his head, "Xiao Yuanshan will definitely not give these things." On second thought, do you really need these things, general? Even if Xiao Yuanshan gives, how much can he give, and how long can he support it? What's more, the general doesn't have to worry about money now! In a short period of time, the general still has silver, and he can also get some from the Li family. ”

Li Qing glanced at Shang Haibo, this hateful guy, there was actually a sense of examination in his words, yes, if he went to such a place, what did he really need? Frowning and contemplating, Lu Yiming on the side was obviously also thinking about this problem, he didn't expect such a bad result at all before.

After a while, Li Qing's eyes lit up, "I understand, what I need most in such a place!" ”

A look of excitement appeared on Shang Haibo's face, "What did the general think of?" ”

"Personnel rights!" Li Qing said word by word: "Personnel, I want to grasp all the military and civilian affairs in Chongxian County, so that if I do something, I will not have a good elbow." ”

Shang Haibo clapped his hands, "That's right, General, this is the only thing you can get, as for what to do in the future, let's talk about it when you get to Chongxian!" ”

Li Qing nodded, "Mr. is right, Li Qing's spear is stopped." ”

Lu Yiming was a little embarrassed, what Shang Haibo thought of, he didn't expect it at all, at this time, he looked at Shang Haibo's eyes completely without his previous contempt, and turned to Li Qing, "General, this is just Haibo's speculation, maybe the situation is not so bad." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Although you don't win, you have a good chance." Now that we know where to go, there are some things that need to be prepared first. ”

Lu Yiming nodded and said: "Yes, I think the first thing to do is to buy a large amount of grain, when I get to Chongxian, I am afraid that not only the army, but also the common people everywhere will have their mouths open to eat, without food, there will be no stability, not to mention that the winter is about to end." ”

"Please, two gentlemen, go and prepare!"
