"Your Majesty, Xu Shiji really didn't come out." Wei Chigong outside cursed for a while, and he didn't see Xu Shiji leading the troops rushing out, and he lost patience in his heart, turned his horse's head and rushed over, and said to Li Xin.

"Let's go, go back." Li Xin's face was solemn, and he also rushed back to the city under the escort of the generals, on the city wall, he looked at the camp opposite with clairvoyance, there was silence on the city, and Zhang Zhenzhou and the others did not dare to speak.

"You say, beyond the camp, there is a man who has gone up to his wife, and he is scolding, if you can bear it?" Li Xin put down the clairvoyance in his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty, if there is such a thing, don't say it's shouting, even if he appears in front of the minister, the minister will try his best to kill him." Yu Chigong suddenly said out of his mouth. The rest of the generals also laughed.

"But Xu Shiji can endure it." Li Xin pointed to the big camp in the distance and said.

"Your Majesty, either Xu Shiji can bear it, or Xu Shiji is no longer in the camp." Zhang Zhen Zhou Meng said: "Only these two explanations can explain why Xu Shiji did not come out." Ministers lean towards the latter. This humiliation is not something that the average person can endure. ”

"Xu Shiji's person is not simple, he lost Xingyang because he couldn't bear it at the beginning, will he accept the lesson this time and hide in the camp as a turtle." Wei Chigong thought for a while and said.

"This is also possible!" Li Xin sighed, if it were other generals, Li Xin could conclude that the other party must have left the camp and had other plans, but Xu Shiji was not necessarily, he was also a soldier in history, and everything could be done.

"Qianqiu, immediately let Jinyiwei go to check, check the changes in Shandong, and. Li Yuan sent reinforcements, who is its commander? Now that I have appeared in Shandong, Li Yuan must know that our target is Shandong, and Qin Qiong's secret may have been guessed, but they don't know where Qin Qiong landed. The reinforcements must be against Qin Qiong. Mobilize all the Jinyi guards in Shandong. We must do a good job of guaranteeing Qin Qiong's army. Li Xin turned to Shen Qianqiu and commanded.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will immediately go and let people investigate." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.

"Spread my will, and transfer Pei Yuanqing and Guo Xiaoke to Caozhou to obey orders. Ordered Su Dingfang to carry out a tentative attack on Taiyuan. Ordered the general Li Jing to sit in Xingyang, Pei Renji to sit in Tongguan, and Li Xuanba to sit in Shuofang. Depending on the situation, or for the defense. Or for the offense. Li Xin thought about it and issued an order, Li Zhao's actions this time made Li Xin a little vigilant, and he thought it was better to be prepared.

"Yes." The generals also had solemn faces, and Li Xin's holy decree made people feel like a storm was coming, and they were all pressed very heavily in their hearts.

"Your Majesty suspects that there is a conspiracy here?" Zhang Zhenzhou hesitated for a while before speaking.

"It's not that I'm afraid, but that I definitely have. Regardless of whether Xu Shiji is hiding inside, or if he has other plans, he must be cautious. Li Xin shook his head and said: "The battle of Shandong is related to the balance of power between the two sides, if Shandong is owned by Li Zhao." Their strength will approach us, and if we want to quickly resolve the war in the Central Plains, we will have to delay, and the power of the steppe will also grow, and we will have more and more troubles in the future. I don't doubt Xu Shiji. It's suspicious of another person. Let's hope he hadn't come, or we'd be in trouble. ”

In Linzi City, Shandong, the atmosphere is relatively dignified. Because this is about to be the gathering place for Li Zhao to support the Shandong army, there are already many troops gathered here, Cui Mingan came to Linzi from Dengzhou. He had to coordinate the food, grass, garrisons, and so on of these troops.

"Master Cui. My lord asked Master Cui to return to the yamen. ”

Cui Mingan had just delivered a batch of grain and grass and was about to go back to his home to rest, when suddenly a strong man in Tsing Yi came over and whispered to him. Cui Mingan was stunned when he heard this, glanced at the other party, and knew that the other party was a subordinate of Yin Kaishan, the pioneer general of the reinforcements, and did not hesitate, so he followed the other party to the mansion.

"Master Cui, please come with me." As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he saw Yin Kaishan standing at the door to greet him, Cui Mingan's heart moved, and he also arched his hand towards the other party, and followed him into the mansion.

"General Yin, which noble person is here, and you still want General Yin to greet you in front of the door?" Cui Mingan is such a person, but he didn't expect Yin Kaishan to greet him in person in front of the door in order to see him, and he must have been ordered by someone.

"Master Cui just come in." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Yin Kaishan's mouth, but he shook his head.

Cui Mingan suppressed the curiosity in his heart, followed him into the Yamen study, and saw a man in Tsing Yi standing next to the window, the man in Tsing Yi was tall, with his hands on his back, and a graceful and luxurious aura came to his face, but unfortunately, the other party was wearing a cloak on his head, which made it difficult to see the inside.

"Master Cui, we'll meet again." A gentle voice came, but it was like a thunderbolt in Cui Mingan's ears.

"You, you, meet you"

Cui Mingan was just about to bow down, but he saw that person stepped forward to hold him up, and said: "Li Xin's brocade guard is very powerful, if you are like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will know that the reaction caused by that time is not something you and I can bear." ”

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand." Cui Mingan touched the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded again and again.

"My surname is Dou, my name is Dou Ji'an, you can call me Dou Gongzi, because when I was a child, a fire burned my face, and I couldn't see people. As the military advisor of General Yin Kaishan. Dou Ji'an said in a low voice.

"Xia Guan has seen Dou Junshi." Cui Mingan hurriedly said.

"Very good, then pass on General Yin's first order, ordering the gentry and Haoqiang in Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places to give up their family property within ten days, and immediately come to Zizi, there must be no mistake. If they do not come, they will be punished as collaborators. All the grain had to be burned or hidden in the mountains. If it is burned, the court will compensate them. Dou Ji'an immediately gave the first order.

"Strategist, this?" Cui Mingan's face changed.

"Qin Qiong must have come from the sea, our reinforcements will take some time to arrive, how can we resist Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses, we can only take the way of clearing the wilderness, so that Qin Qiong has no food in his hands, even if he wants to attack my Shandong, he must transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible to do it in a month or two." Dou Ji'an's voice was very flat, and he said: "They can only collect grain from the common people, how much grain does the common people have in their hands, and can he eat 100,000 people?" ”

"Yes, the subordinate will go and give the order immediately." Cui Mingan's heart trembled, in the end, he was Li Zhao's most powerful person, and a random order could produce such a great effect.

"The second order, east of the Jiaolai River, all the gentry and Haoqiang must withdraw to the vicinity of Linzi within a month, and all the Haoqiang and gentry east of the Jiaolai River must contribute all the private soldiers and family members at home and hand them over to General Yin Kaishan to command, and those who violate the order will be punished as treason." Dou Ji'an gave another order.

"This subordinate is already doing it." Cui Mingan thought of the previous orders of Xu Shiji and Li Xiaogong, and he was also immediately relieved.

"The third order is to immediately block the Jiaolai River, and the boats on both sides of the Jiaolai River must be handed over to the imperial court, and without the order of the imperial court, the pieces of wood cannot be launched." Dou Ji'an said again.

"Yes." Cui Mingan has been completely numb. There was a wry smile in his heart, this person is really powerful, and even these can be thought of, if Qin Qiong really landed in Dengzhou or Laizhou, I am afraid that he would be trapped in Denglai.

"The fourth order, from today onwards, the gentry and Haoqiang south of Juxian must do as Haoqiang did near Dengzhou, and give them ten days to settle these matters. General Pei Longqian led an army of 10,000 and defended Ju County. General Li Yiyu led 10,000 troops to defend Gaomi. Dou Ji'an said again.

"Yes." The last general will go to give the order.

"General Yin and I led 30,000 troops to sit in the center, Lord Cui, your task is very heavy, that is, to remove all the powerful gentry along the coast, I believe that your Shandong family is powerful, and these things should be solved within half a month. Master Cui, what do you think? Dou Ji'an said with a smile.

"Xiaguan will do his best." Cui Mingan felt bitter in his heart, after this relocation, if he didn't get it right, the strength of the Shandong family would be weakened a lot, and the Cui family would also offend a lot of people.

However, it is better to believe than to fall into the hands of Li Xin, who is not a human being. Cui Mingan could only sigh in his heart. Moreover, with the man in front of him coming, it is unlikely that Li Xin wants to seize Shandong.

"Well, then there's Lord Lautri." Dou Ji'an arched his hand towards Cui Min and said: "The news that I came here can be spread on a small scale, if it is deliberate, I am afraid that Jinyiwei will also suspect it, since this is the case, it is better to show them openly." If you don't get it, they won't suspect it yet. ”

"Mr. Dou is amazing." Yin Kaishan nodded and said: "But the last general is still worried about Cheng Biting Jin's way, there are seventy or eighty thousand people in Shandong Green Forest Road, although they have not yet conquered the city, but at this time they are all accumulating strength, and they will soon strike at General Li Xiaogong's grain road." ”

"Although Cheng Biting Jin is known as the Demon King of the Mixed World, this idea was not his idea, he has capable people under him, however, although he has some skills, who is opposite him, it is Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji is still a little worse than dealing with Li Xin, and it is more than enough to deal with Cheng Biting Jin." Dou Ji'an laughed and said: "If we start the project slightly, we will fall behind, but for the sake of insurance, he has only started now, I'm afraid it's a little late." Li Xin was very shrewd in his calculations, but unfortunately, he didn't expect me to come to Shandong. I'm afraid not only did he not expect it, but also the generals and ministers under him. This time, it is to make Li Xin suffer a big loss. He did not dare to go on the Northern Expedition for several years. Dou Ji'an snorted coldly. (To be continued.) )
