Chapter 718: Return

When Li Qing arrived in Zunhua, Quanzhou, the aftermath of the matter has basically come to an end, Guo Shanfeng led the Tianlei battalion and his personal cavalry to the vicinity of Qingyang, forming a threat to Qingyang, but at this time, Minzhou Zhang Aimin's army has also arrived in Qingyang, and the strength of the Minzhou soldiers gathered in Qingyang exceeded more than 60,000 people for a while, and there is a tendency to rush out of Qingyang and find a battle over the mountain wind. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

And at this moment, from the Dingzhou Central Group Army Yang Yidao under the command of the Changsheng battalion, the whirlwind battalion in the hussar general Wang Yan, Jiang Kui under the leadership, day and night, has also arrived, the Dingzhou army at this time also gathered nearly 40,000 troops, and most of the Dingzhou famous cavalry, often victorious, whirlwind two battalions are the foundation of Li Qing's beginning, in the process of Li Qing's rise, these two battalions have suffered heavy losses several times, every time rebuilt, the establishment of these two battalions will be expanded once, and the combat power will be enhanced. It is nominally a battalion, but the actual establishment is more than 10,000 people, which is the size of a division under the new military system in Dingzhou, which makes the world even more eye-catching.

The arrival of the two most representative armies in Dingzhou has focused the attention of all the forces on the mainland, and almost all the most powerful troops under Li Qing's command have reached the Central Plains. This seems to represent Li Qing's determination to do a big job in the near future.

And when these two battalions arrived to meet the mountain wind, Zhang Aimin's army, which was about to move, immediately retracted its head to Qingyang, and began to build a defensive line with Qingyang as the core.

But the big battle in everyone's imagination did not appear, and even the Tianlei battalion withdrew from Zunhua and returned to Qinzhou to join Wang Qinian's main force shortly after the mountain wind, and at the same time, the new Western Group Army headed by Chen Zeyue gathered in Dingzhou began to march towards Quanzhou.

"The Minzhou Army is also a new formation, and its combat effectiveness is not particularly strong, and Chen Zeyue's Western Group Army has recently become an army and has never been on the battlefield, so transferring them to Quanzhou to form a confrontation with Zhang Aimin can more effectively allow them to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and at the same time, in order to ensure that there will be no accidents, and in order to form an overwhelming advantage over the Minzhou soldiers, the two battalions of the Victorious Whirlwind will be transferred from the Central Group Army and temporarily incorporated into the Western Group Army to fight." This is what Li Qing has in mind. Dingzhou can now be regarded as almost a number of enemies, and the Dingzhou army is generally insufficient in strength, so that they are overstretched in terms of troops, unable to fight on several battlefields at the same time, once the opponent launches a general attack, on a certain battlefield, they will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

If Chen Zeyue's Western Group Army can form combat strength in a short period of time and reach the basic combat level of the Dingzhou Army, then Chen Zeyue will attack Minzhou, and the mountain wind will mainly attack Xingzhou and guard against the south, while in the north, the Tianfeng group only needs to stabilize the situation, and the war with the south is most likely to come from a duel at sea, once the king of Ning in the south is defeated, the south will become a wingless tiger, and the army under the command of King Ning, Li Qing really did not put it in his eyes.

After Shang Haibo defected to the imperial court, one of the things that Li Qing did the most was to persuade Tianqi to give up the attack on Youyan, and even released Xiao Haoran, allowing him to return to Youyan, and regained Youyan, the backbone of Youyan, quickly stabilized, and Luoyang, which withdrew from Youyan, was able to withdraw more than 100,000 troops, and these 100,000 battle-hardened troops will undoubtedly be put into the battle with Dingzhou. What made Li Qing even more annoyed was that Youyan, who had already fallen into his own trap step by step, now seemed to be drifting away from him.

It is impossible for the Apocalypse to accept the Xiao family, even Shang Haibo does not have the ability to reunite these two rivals, but the current situation has made the Xiao family see the opportunity to rise again, with Xiao Haoran, the old fox, the pattern of Youyan, which was gradually becoming clear, has become chaotic again, which also makes Li Qing unable to transfer the planned Lu Dalin.

The dangers of Shang Haibo's rebellion began to manifest step by step. Shang Haibo, who is well aware of the strategic layout of Dingzhou, prescribes targeted medicine, and indeed hits the key points of Dingzhou. At the very least, he had now succeeded in making Li Qing have to face the end of being attacked on several sides.

Although it was true that there was such an embarrassment in form, Li Qing believed that as long as the Dingzhou army performed as well as before on various battlefields, then the dilemma would be temporary, and with the successive victories on the battlefield, all difficulties would be solved.

Li Qing, who was in Zunhua, Quanzhou, was also shocked in the face of the heavy losses paid by the people of Quanzhou to resist Liao Bin, and he had to admit that this loss was indeed related to his underestimating opponent, if he transferred Chen Zeyue's troops before he started the Qinling defense line, then Qingyang would not be lost, and Quanzhou would not have suffered such a big loss.

In return for the great sacrifice made by the whole state, Li Qing announced in the whole state that within ten years, the whole state would not have to pay any taxes, and Zunhua, as the greatest sacrifice, would never pay taxes in his own life.

When the news broke, the mournful Quanzhou finally got a little comfort, and the death battle of the relatives tried to keep the whole state alive, bringing them a rich reward.

As for the generals and civil and military officials who performed well in the battle of Quanzhou, they were promoted respectively, Long Xiaotian has become the lord of a state, and with his qualifications and age, it is impossible to go one step further in a short period of time, as far as he is concerned, if he goes further, he can squeeze into the cabinet, and Xu Yunfeng and others, who are older than him and have made countless contributions to Dingzhou, have not yet reached this step, so he has nothing to gain except for Li Qing's warm words and verbal praise.

Qiao Jiarui, who suggested that Long Xiaotian erect a flag to gather troops and stayed in the city to assist Long Xiaotian in handling various affairs during the Battle of Zunhua, was directly promoted to Long Xiaotian's deputy, and Xu Kexing, the Qingyang guard, was the direct commander of the Battle of Zunhua, and was promoted several levels and was named General Zhenyuan, Tian Chong, the former captain of Zhenwu, was promoted to General Mingwei, and the former Qingyang County Ling Qian Duo was also directly transferred to the military post after the Battle of Zunhua and was named General Xuanwei. Xu Kexing's original troops had basically been exhausted, and Li Qing ordered him to recruit troops from among the more than 10,000 young men who remained in the Battle of Zunhua to form a local garrison force in Quanzhou. Accept the dual command of Long Xiaotian, the governor of Quanzhou, and Chen Zeyue, the head of the Western Group Army.

And Qian Duo, the newly baked general Xuanwei, soon after Li Qing left to return to Dingzhou, he did a big thing that made the world look sideways, he really had to go to Quanzhou City, dug the ancestral grave of Liao Bin, the former commander of Quanzhou, because after Zhang Aimin arrived in Qingyang, he ordered the confiscation of all Qian Duo's assets in Qingyang, and all the proceeds from the seizure were used as military funds, and his delicate and lovely concubines were all submerged in the official and became official prostitutes. His mansion has become Zhang Aimin's command.

Hearing the report of the secret agent of the Supervision Yuan, Qian Duo cried a lot, so he took a few personal soldiers and sneaked to the location of Liao Bin's ancestral grave near Quanzhou City, and took advantage of a dark and windy night to dig up the other party's ancestral grave in one go.

Long Xiaotian, who was furious when he heard the news, immediately ordered Xu Kexing to arrest Qian Duo, but because of the other party's performance in the Battle of Zunhua, and he was canonized for Li Qing personally, it was inconvenient to deal with it directly, so he reported it to Li Qing.

After Li Qing heard the news, he was stunned at first, then pondered for a long time, and finally laughed dumbly, and put a pen to approve a few words on Long Xiaotian's report, "It's really a human ear in temperament!" He sent it back in the original text, without mentioning how to deal with the other party.

After Long Xiaotian got Li Qing's reply, he pondered for several days, and the result was that he lifted it high, put it down gently, and sentenced him to one month in prison and fifty military sticks. and sent people to rebuild Liao Bin's ancestral tomb, but it was dug up by Qian Duo, but the bones of Liao Bin's ancestors were countless for wild dogs to eat, and it was difficult to recover.

Zhang Aimin ignored the threat of his opponent, and under Liao Bin's special request, he still insisted on acting his own way, which cast a thick shadow between him and Liao Bin, who was very resentful of him, and remembered half of the digging of his ancestral grave on Zhang Aimin's body.

The Qinling defense line was lost, Xingzhou was in danger, and the planned capture of Quanzhou, and the Dingzhou forces were defeated in Zunhua and gave up halfway, and Shang Haibo was unhappy on the way back to Luoyang from Minzhou. And at this moment, he didn't know that in Luoyang, an old friend of his had arrived more than ten days before his return.

Qingfeng arrived in Luoyang, did not notify any of the survivors of the previous Luoyang branch, but went to a hibernation seed she had planted before, a cyan sedan chair, and carried Qingfeng in disguise into a deep courtyard, Qingfeng's trip to inspect the former Luoyang branch and reorganize the Luoyang network officially began.

Qingfeng was full of doubts about the kidnapping of Shang Haibo by the staff division, the Luoyang branch was built by Qingfeng when Li Qing first entered Beijing, Li Qing at that time was not a thing that had a profound impact on Da Chu, Qingfeng knew very well about the power of this branch, whether it was black and white, or civil officialdom, it had a good power, but for the staff division to kidnap Shang Haibo, there was no clue at all, Qingfeng intuitively felt that there must be some unknown reasons.

She was very worried that it was an important person in the Luoyang branch who defected to the enemy, which would lead to this result. When she re-entered Luoyang, she no longer dared to trust everyone who survived the former Luoyang branch unconditionally.

She needed time to re-examine these people's loyalty to Dingzhou.

"Miss!" A middle-aged man with a well-dressed and handsome appearance bowed slightly to Qingfeng, his name is Wang Zuliang, a well-known calligrapher in Luoyang, the capital, and was originally regarded as a figure with a head and a face in the capital, but back to be coveted by someone to covet the family property, and was framed by someone design, involved in a murder case, almost the family was destroyed, this matter was known to Qingfeng, so he activated some secret forces, so that he won the lawsuit, and Wang Zuliang also joined the Statistical Survey Department at that time after this incident, and lurked down on the orders of Qingfeng, Without Qingfeng's personal order, he is never allowed to reveal his identity.

"Any news?" Qingfeng closed a secret piece of information in his hand and asked with a smile.
