Li Qing came out of the memorial site safely, so that all the worried generals in Dingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Qing didn't think so, in this case, how could he be in danger, obviously Bayar had arranged everything before he died, whether they surrendered sincerely or endured humiliation, as long as they entered their own trap, they always had a way to digest them, so that they could truly become their loyal people.

When he returned to the city, Li Qing put this matter behind him, sat in his study, and began to write some bills specifically for the grassland that he had been thinking about for a long time.

The sky was getting dark, and when Tang Hu came in to light the bull candle, he strode in over the mountain wind.

"Dashuai!" The mountain breeze stepped into the study, "I'm surprised to see it today."

Li Qing smiled and said, "What can make my over-the-top general feel strange?" Over the mountain wind, sit, tiger, make tea for the general. ”

Guoshan Feng said thank you, sat down at the bottom of Li Qing, and said with some excitement: "The barbarian made four identical coffins for Bayar, and set off in four different directions, I was a little puzzled, so I sent scouts to investigate, guess what I saw?" ”

Li Qing laughed, remembering some information he had learned in his previous life, and said: "Well, they must have dug deep pits in four directions at the same time, and then buried the coffin, filled it with soil, and then trampled on the horses, and trampled the ground flat, and then these people set up tents around here and stayed, right?" ”

Guoshan Feng's eyes widened, "Dashuai, you also sent someone, right, how do you know?" ”

Li Qing smiled mysteriously, and continued: "I also know that when the grass grows, these lands are no different from other places, these waiting people will evacuate, and in a few years, they will not be able to find the location of these tombs." ”

"Why is that? Do not their descendants have to pay tribute to them? Guo Shanfeng asked puzzled.

"This is their custom, and their descendants only need to pay homage to their spiritual throne." Li Qing explained.

The mountain wind shook its head, which was too different from the customs of the Central Plains.

"General Guo, you won't come to me specifically for this matter, will you?" Li Qingxiao asked.

Guo Feng said in a low voice: "No, Dashuai, there are two things to come, one is that after you went to pay tribute in person, the city has stabilized a lot, and some of the people who are focused on by the Statistical Survey Department and the Military Intelligence Department are currently very safe. Second, Mr. Shang and Master Lu are already less than 100 miles away from Bayanka, and I have sent a team of cavalry to meet and protect them, and we should be able to reach Bayankala tonight. ”

"Good!" Li Qing stood up excitedly, "When they come, we can finish the work here as soon as possible, and we should return to Dingzhou as soon as possible, the situation in the Central Plains is already on the verge of breaking out." ”

"Dashuai, will we march into the Central Plains immediately?" The mountain breeze asked cautiously.

Li Qing smiled slightly, "What do you think?" ”

The mountain wind was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the marshal to throw the question back very simply, the marshal could ask the question back, but he couldn't talk about him left and right, because in the view of the mountain breeze, this is the marshal asking for advice, and at the same time, he is also testing himself. I have been following Dashuai for so long, and Dashuai's wish to cross the mountain wind and self-confidence has been understood, that is, to set the horse on the Central Plains and set the world, but the more this is the case, the more careful you must be.

This problem is too important and too big, the mountain wind does not dare to make it bigger, he took a big sip of tea from the teacup, and wanted to take this opportunity to sort out his own clues, but he didn't expect to take a sip of tea, but it was so bitter that he almost spit it out, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't lose his honor in front of the handsome, so he swallowed the tea forbearantly, raised his eyes and looked at Tang Hu on the side, and played a small drum in his heart, he didn't seem to have offended this guy, why is there almost half a cup of tea in a glass of water?

Seeing the embarrassment of the mountain wind, Li Qing couldn't help laughing, glanced at Tang Hu, and said: "General Guo, it seems that you are very fond of Huzi, if you want to drink Huzi's tea, there are not many people in the entire Dingzhou army, only a handful." ”

The mountain wind is strange, there is such a person who expresses his good feelings, seeing Tang Hu grinning silently, the mountain wind smiled and put down the teacup, but he didn't dare to drink it anymore.

"Marshal, we Dingzhou for several years, are spent in the war, although the marshal tried every means to maintain the people's livelihood, but under the long war, the people's livelihood withered that is inevitable, the soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and they will inevitably miss their relatives and hometown, this morale has become a problem, therefore, in my opinion, temporary recuperation is necessary." Wind tunnels over the hills.

"Temporary recuperation is a must, but have you ever thought that our Dingzhou is located on the border, we can only swim against the current, take advantage of the chaos, once the Central Plains divides the winner, it can't be who wins, we will have no chance, can this be considered?" Li Qing asked quietly.

Guo Feng said: "Dashuai, all along, I have been very careful to read our Dingzhou internal newspaper, from which I found that whether it is the King of Ning in the south, or the Xiao family who controls the hinterland of the capital, they are all well-intentioned, carefully prepared for many years, not to mention the Lu family in the north and the Zeng family in the east, they are still inferior to the first two strengths, I am afraid that the battle in the Central Plains will not be able to distinguish the winner in three or five years, if the two do not make big mistakes, I think this battle is not uncommon to fight for ten or twenty years, so, We should have enough time to prepare, I think, if we don't launch, it will be enough, once launched, then we must sweep the world with the momentum of ploughing and sweeping the holes. ”

"You have faith!" Li Qing smiled, "In your opinion, what advantages do we have in Dingzhou?" ”

Guo Shanfeng pondered for a moment and replied: "Dashuai, to be honest, except for the advantage of Dashuai you in Dingzhou, we do not have any advantages in terms of economy or overall military strength. ”

Li Qing laughed: "The mountain wind, the mountain wind, you guy is silent when he pats his fart, and he can do it easily!" ”

The mountain wind said: "Dashuai, I'm not a sycophant, but the truth, I think Dingzhou was devastated by the barbarians, but only four years, under the leadership of the Dashuai, we have defeated the invincible barbarians, I believe that as long as there are a few years of recuperation and recuperation, Dashuai will lead us to step on the world." ”

"You said that we are at an economic disadvantage, this is very easy to understand, you can understand it at a glance, but our soldiers are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, compared to those soldiers who came down from the training ground in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but they can't say the same, isn't it an advantage in the combat effectiveness of our soldiers?" Li Qing asked rhetorically.

Over the mountain wind said: "Marshal, our soldiers are indeed elite soldiers, but fighting with the Central Plains giants and fighting with the barbarians are all two concepts, once we set foot in the Central Plains, it is inevitable that the siege will be pulled out, compared with the barbarians, attacking and defending the city is our advantage, but compared with the mainland, this is a disadvantage, and the mainland soldiers, we may prefer to fight with them in the field." I think the wealthy families in the Central Plains will not understand this truth, so if we enter the Central Plains, it is very likely that we will be caught in a war of attrition, how many troops can we organize in Dingzhou now? We have 100,000 elite soldiers, which is completely insufficient, and to use these soldiers to fight a war of attrition, to be honest, marshal, I will be very reluctant. ”

Li Qing nodded slightly, he only always attached great importance to the mountain wind, and constantly promoted him, just because the mountain wind was very sober no matter when, this point, Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, etc. were far inferior, the mountain wind was handsome, and Wang Qinian and others could only be regarded as generals, at this point, only Lu Dalin could compare with the mountain wind, but Lu Dalin was older, not as promising as the mountain wind, and the second was that the mountain wind was simple by himself, and he would be more at ease when he used it. And Lu Dalin is the standard-bearer of the original Dingzhou system, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in short, Lu Dalin is a family of his own in the Dingzhou army, and he has to reuse him to fight the barbarians, but when he marches into the Central Plains, Li Qing doesn't want to rely on Lu Dalin too much anymore, and now it seems that going over the mountain wind will be a better choice.

Li Qing stood up, "You said it very well, after you go down, look for more books about the Central Plains family, famous generals, customs, and landscape geography!" Well, you can also find Qingfeng and ask her Statistical Survey Department to collect more information on this for you. ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Guo Shanfeng stood up excitedly, Li Qing's hint was too obvious, how could he not hear it? Dashuai means that when he attacks the Central Plains in the future, he will be alone.

"Huzi, I've sent the general for me!" Li Qing commanded.

Guoshan Feng hurriedly excused himself: "Don't dare to drive General Lao Tang." ”

Li Qing laughed, "When he looks at you, he will let him send you away, and your brothers and sons can talk about it well." ”

Looking at the mountain wind and Tang Hu arm out, Li Qing couldn't help but think, the courage of the mountain wind is not lost to Wang Qinian, and it is even more rare that the mind is also very smart, and he can get him unexpectedly It is also lucky, the focus on training in the past few years has also received great results, and now the mountain wind can hardly see the shadow of the year, Li Qing believes that as long as he enters the Central Plains, the mountain wind will be famous all over the world, although the mountain wind is extremely central to himself, but also needs to strengthen the control of the mountain wind, this is a tiger, Proper control is their own right-hand man, but it is also necessary to prevent problems before they happen, this is also a kind of protection for the mountain wind, think about Zhao Kuangyin back then, how could he ever think of rebelling against himself as an emperor before the Chen Qiao Mutiny?

Returned to the table, picked up the draft that had just been written, revised it a few times, the cow candle had been burned halfway, and just put down the pen, some hurried footsteps came from outside, and a personal soldier appeared at the door, and reported respectfully: "Marshal, Shang Senjun and Lord Lu have arrived!" ”

Li Qing was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up, walked out, and said as he walked: "Please, please!" When the two arrived, they were finally freed from the tedious chores.
