Chapter 757: The Son will not give me, I will raise troops to take it

"Politically accepting the leadership of Dingzhou and militarily accepting the reorganization of Dingzhou is a prerequisite for negotiations." Li Qing sat behind the big case, leaned forward slightly, stared at Xiao Yuanshan, and said affirmatively: "Only when the Youyan area agrees to these two conditions, can we continue to negotiate."

Xiao Yuanshan held back his anger and said: "Li Dashuai, negotiation and negotiation must always be negotiated first, you set prerequisites like this, it is too difficult for a strong man. Since I am here, the handsome can see the sincerity of my Youyan, but the handsome is aggressive, isn't it sincere to reject people thousands of miles away? ＂

Li Qing laughed, walked down from behind the big case, paced back and forth in the house for a few steps, and said: "Patriarch Xiao, the Great Chu has lasted for hundreds of years, and it was also very prosperous, why has the government decree not been out of Luoyang for hundreds of miles over the years, and it has existed in name only?" ＂

Without waiting for Xiao Yuanshan to answer, Li Qing continued: "The major families and wealthy families, the tail is too big to fall, they divide one side, support the army and respect themselves, and listen to the central decrees that are in line with their own interests, and those that do not conform to their own interests will be ignored.

"Are you trying to ......?"

"Not bad!" Li Qing said categorically: "Military power can only belong to the central government, and no feudal official can have military power. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"So, since you Xiao want to submit to my Li Qing, the first thing you need to do is to hand over your military power!"

"In this case, how can I, Xiao Clan, protect myself?" Xiao Yuanshan asked rhetorically.

"Self-preservation?" Li Qing asked rhetorically: "Since your Xiao clan has surrendered to me Li Qing, who else dares to touch you easily?" Why do you need to protect yourself? ”

"What if you Li Dashuai crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the rabbit died and the dog cooked?" Xiao Yuanshan pointed directly to the center of the problem.

Li Qing laughed, "Patriarch Xiao, Xiao Dashuai, when you were still ruling Dingzhou, the conspiracy plotted against me, and after the failure, it fell into my hands, did I ever embarrass you?" ”

"At that time, you were afraid of the Xiao family's forces, and you were worried that Xiao Li would turn against you, so you naturally didn't dare to do it."

"Your Xiao clan fell into the trap of the Apocalypse, and when the whole army was about to be destroyed in Qingzhou, who took advantage of you to allow you to lead tens of thousands of elites back to Youyan, I won't let you go at that time, can you still stand in front of me and talk today?"

"At that time, you still have to rely on my Youyan to contain the forces of the Apocalypse, and you are naturally willing to borrow from me, otherwise Youyan will be defeated, and the Luoyang troops will occupy Youyan, and you will not be able to sleep well!" Xiao Yuanshan didn't let go. "And now, you have achieved the momentum, if the Xiao clan hands over the only military power that can protect itself, it will be useless, if you turn your face and are ruthless, won't we just be killed?"

Li Qing walked up to Xiao Yuanshan and leaned over to stare at him, "Since your Xiao clan is no longer a threat, what's the use of me moving you?" ”

Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help choking.

Standing up straight, Li Qing sneered, "I, Li Qingzhi, am in the world, just a Xiao family, and now I am a tiger falling in Pingyang, plucking the phoenix, how can I be angry, not to mention that you and I Dingzhou, there is no inextricable hatred, on the contrary, without your Xiao family's actions, how can I have the fire in Dingzhou today?" So, in a way, I even have to thank you! ”

Looking at Li Qing, who was laughing loudly, Xiao Yuanshan's face turned the color of pig liver, his hands were clenched into fists, and he made a clattering sound, and Li Wen on the side took a step forward, and his hand had already reached the handle of the knife.

Li Qing suddenly stopped laughing, looked at Xiao Yuanshan coldly, and said, "If you don't want it, I will take it myself." But at that time, your Xiao family will be under the nest, and there will be no more eggs left. ”

With a bang, Xiao Yuanshan took the case, and Li Wen immediately took a step forward and stopped in front of Li Qing.

Li Qing stretched out his hand to pull Li Wen away, looking at Xiao Yuanshan, who was trembling all over, "This is an era where the strong are respected, and if you don't have strength, you won't have the right to speak, Patriarch Xiao, for the sake of you who have also resisted the barbarian invasion in Dingzhou for several years, I tell you the truth, now that the Xiao family has surrendered, it can still keep the family rich forever, and in some time, we won't have to talk about it before." ”

Xiao Yuanshan was stunned, and although Li Qing's tone was flat, from the words, a major message was revealed, that is, the Li family had the possibility of using troops against Youyan.

He took a long breath to calm down his mood, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "Li Dashuai, the trouble is big, and Xiao has no right to decide, please let me report to the national prince and then reply." ”

Li Qing smiled, "There is no need." Please drink tea. Returning to his seat, Li Qing picked up the teacup and raised his glass from afar.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshan's angry departure, Yan Nanfei said with some concern: "Lord, you are too aggressive today, if Xiao Yuanshan leaves in a fit of anger, the negotiations will completely break down, the key is, Lord, you actually revealed that our army has a plan to attack Youyan, this, doesn't this make them prepare for a long time?" ”

Li Qing smiled, "Does it matter?" Wasn't Yang Yidao's Central Army originally scheduled to conduct a military exercise in the middle of this month, and three days after Yang Yidao was brought forward, we warmly invited Patriarch Xiao Yuanshan to attend the review! ”

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Is the lord going to give him a dismount?" ”

"Exactly, let him see, I Dingzhou is not without troops, Lu Dalin Group, and then go back to Yang Yidao's Central Group Army, imagine what the Xiao clan will do?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"It's a pity that the Changsheng Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion may not be able to come back in three days, if these two main cavalry are here, I'm afraid Xiao Yuanshan will be even more colorless!" Luo Daoming smacked his lips and said with some regret.

"It's okay, as long as Xiao Yuanshan knows that I have been transferred back to the Changsheng Camp and the Whirlwind Camp from Quanzhou. The Xiao clan can no longer afford to fight, the previous battle with Luoyang, they were completely fought with our support, and now they are struggling, the people's livelihood is withered, the army is poor, and there is no morale at all. Li Qingdao.

"Lord, is this sure that Xiao Yuanshan will not leave in a bad mood?" Lu Yiming said.

"Of course!" Li Qingdao: "I just ate the Xiao family, if they are really stubborn, then the Lv Dalin Group and Yang Yidao must take Youyan with lightning speed, and then the Lv Dalin Group will immediately go north to Weizhou, and the Yang Yidao Group will be stationed in Youyan to guard against Luoyang." ”

"I'm afraid that after the defenders of the valley know that our army has attacked Youyan, they will dedicate Luoyang, then we will be passive!" Yannan Feidao.

Li Qing laughed, "The guard of Xiegu has already been rebelled by the Supervision Yuan, don't worry, the Supervision Yuan has sent a large number of special service members to sneak into Xiegu, if you really make a move, as soon as possible, these special services will assist the guard to grasp the situation there." ”

"It turns out that the lord has been prepared for a long time!" Yan Nanfei exclaimed.

"This is the next step!" Li Qing shook his head and said: "If the Xiao clan can surrender, then we can quietly mobilize Lu Dalin's troops, and even make some illusions to deceive the Luoyang side, so that they think that we are still in a state of confrontation, and even have the danger of using swords, then it is best." ”

Everyone understood that if the Xiao clan could surrender, then Dingzhou could make a series of strategic deceptions to cause Luoyang to misunderstand after mobilizing the Lu Dalin group, thereby delaying Luoyang's attack on Youyan, so as to avoid Dingzhou from fighting in four directions at the same time. And if you start fighting with Youyan, even if you win it successfully, Luoyang will definitely react as soon as possible and send troops to Youyan, which is not the best result for Dingzhou.

"I hope Xiao Shi can understand current affairs!" Li Qingdao.

Three days later, the sky is not beautiful, the heavy rain is pouring, originally scheduled for military exercises outside the city of Dingzhou, it is already a piece of mud, the rain will wash the ground out of the water, the water flows together, the flow is loud, flowing to the low, forming a small pond in the depression, looking from afar, the line of sight is blocked by the dense rain curtain, and it is impossible to see far at all.

"Lord, is it delaying the exercise?" Looking at the bad weather outside, Lu Yiming suggested.

"No!" Li Qing stood up, "Inform Yang Yidao, go on as usual!" After speaking, he strode out, and the iron leopard waiting by the door hurriedly opened a big umbrella for Li Qing.

"Take it away!" Li Qingdao.

"Lord!" Iron Leopard hesitated for a moment, and his eyes looked at the bigwigs behind Li Qing.

"Take it away!" Li Qing shouted sharply.

"Yes!" Seeing Li Qing's stern gaze sweeping over, the iron leopard obediently threw the umbrella aside, watched Li Qing step into the pouring rain in one step, and hurriedly followed.

Behind him, Lu Yiming, Yan Nanfei, Luo Daoming and others followed Li Qing closely and walked into the dense rain curtain.

At this time, from the top of the city tower, in the room on the other side, the crowd who were invited to watch the ceremony also walked out, and saw Li Qing and his party standing on top of the city in the rain.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Qing turned around and saw that Xiao Yuanshan was also coming in the rain, and couldn't help but smile and beckoned: "Patriarch Xiao, please come here!" Xiao Yuanshan walked to Li Qing's side with heavy steps and stood still. Li Qing invited himself to participate in the military exercise of the Dingzhou Central Group Army, and the meaning of the demonstration was self-evident. But he couldn't help but come, so it would be good to take the opportunity to spy on the strength of the Dingzhou Central Group Army.

"Let's get started!" Li Qing waved at the iron leopard.

Iron Leopard bowed slightly, stepped aside, walked to the head of the city, and shouted: "The lord has an order, the military exercise begins!" ”

There was a "bang", a dull drum sounded, and then, above the city, hundreds of drums sounded in unison. Hundreds of horns and trumpets also sounded a long sound.

After about half a pillar of incense, the drums stopped, the horn stopped, and in the rain curtain, there was a neat sound of footsteps, except for the sound of rain, there was only a footstep that seemed to step on everyone's hearts, through the rain curtain, you can vaguely see that the black shadow is walking towards this side.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the rain, and several fast horses broke through the rain and fog and rushed to the city of Dingzhou. Yang Yidao, who was fully armored, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee under the city, and shouted loudly: "The Supreme Commander of the Dingzhou Central Group Army, the general of Dingzhou, Yang Yidao, asked the lord for instructions, has the military exercise started?" ”

Li Qing put his hands on the wall, because the rain was falling too much, he could only open his throat and shout: "Start!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Yang stood up with a knife, turned over on his horse, and turned around and disappeared into the rain.
