The night is late, but the whole Dingzhou City is still brightly lit, Wuyan Bato is victorious, the handsome happy period is approaching, the princess Luan arrives, the double happiness is coming, Dingzhou City has canceled the long-term curfew, and the whole city has fallen into a sea of joy. It's rare to have such a joyful nightless day, so it's natural to relax.

"Come, Qing'er, uncle wishes you another great victory, and the barbarian is just around the corner." Li Huizhi raised his wine glass.

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Qing, "Uncle traveled thousands of miles, and went to Dingzhou several times for Li Qing's affairs, this time it was even more windy and snowy, the hardships all the way can be imagined, Li Qing is grateful!" ”

Li Huizhi laughed, "The family doesn't talk about the two families, Qing'er's words are divided, uncle works so hard, not only for you, but also for the Li family!" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Qing'er has been focusing on the border war in the past two years, and he doesn't know much about the general situation of the Central Plains, so my uncle can talk about it for me!" ”

Li Huizhi shook his head, took a chopstick of Dingzhou's unique pickled pork, and took the chopsticks while chewing and nodded Li Qing, "Qing'er's words are not true, uncle is not old and confused, you are in Dingzhou, the first two years were staring at Bayar, but this year, I'm afraid that you have already looked at the Central Plains with one eye, right?" What is the situation in the Central Plains, you will not know? Qingfeng's Statistical Survey Division is now well-known in Dachu, how many big and small things can be hidden from you? ”

Li Qing was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect this second uncle's words to be so sharp, he raised his wine glass in disguise, took a sip of wine, and then picked up a basket of vegetables for Li Huizhi, and said with a smile: "It's all hearsay news, so does my uncle know the details?" ”

"Although Qingfeng's Statistical Survey Department is developing rapidly, after all, the time is still short, and it doesn't take much effort to infiltrate the middle and lower levels, but if you want to make a difference at the top, it's really not an overnight effort, and you must know some of the general things, I don't need to say more, I'll tell you about the entire distribution of forces!" Li Huizhi nodded and said.

"There are fifty-six states in Great Chu, and the power of the wealthy clans is intertwined, and their interests are intertwined, but they can be roughly divided into several major power groups, the King of Ning in the south, the alliance between the Xiao clan and the Xiang clan in the rich areas of the central region, the Jing'an Houlu family in the north, and the Zheng Guogong Zeng family in the east. There are entanglements of interests in this, which is really difficult to explain, and maybe you in the west have to be added now. ”

Li Qingshu said with a smile: "Dingzhou has a shallow foundation, how can it be compared with these wealthy lords who have accumulated for hundreds of years. ”

Li Huizhi shook his head and said: "You don't have to be arrogant, you occupy the two states of Dingfu, and the elite soldiers under your command will crown the crown in Dachu, after pacifying the grassland, there is a broad strategic room for maneuver, although the west is bitter and cold, since the dynasties, there is no precedent for the western heroes to defeat the Central Plains, but now you are different." ”

"What's the difference?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

"You forgot? There's the Lee family behind you! Li Huizhi smiled and picked up the wine glass, and drank it all: "Yizhou is rich, but it is the land of four wars, there is no danger to defend, after the old man takes over the family, the strong army and the horse, can only be defended, there is no spare strength to expand the power, if there is no sudden rise of your army, you can only choose the most likely to succeed among the above forces, in order to ensure the survival and glory of the family, but now it is very different, the Li family, now it is also one of the forces that have the ability to compete between the world." ”

Li Qing smiled and said nothing. Li Huizhi said excitedly: "Yizhou is known as the thoroughfare of ten states, and the Central Plains is chaotic together, you wave your troops into the customs and open up the passage between the west and Yizhou, which will choke the passage for the southern Ning King to attack the Central Plains, and at the same time separate the hinterland of the Central Plains into two. ”

Speaking of this, Li Huizhi didn't know whether he was excited, or drunk, his face was flushed, he stared at Li Qing, and said word by word: "Qingfeng, at that time, it is not impossible to make this world change, right?" ”

Li Qing smiled and picked up the wine glass, saluted Li Hui's glass, and said: "Second uncle, at present, we still want to exterminate the barbarians first and then talk about other things, what will happen to the Central Plains, it is still difficult to see clearly, maybe when the time comes, the scene there will surprise us." ”

Li Huizhi nodded, "Qing'er is right, we still have to lay a solid foundation at the moment, we can't be ambitious, if Yizhou is the foundation of our Li family's take-off, then your Dingfu two states are our Li family's wings and minions, and we must definitely grasp it firmly in our hands." The princess is here, not just a means for the apocalypse to envelop you, but with the princess, but a whole staff group, among the princess's honor guard, both civil and military, Qing'er, the princess wants to control Fuzhou, do you have a way to deal with it? ”

Li Qing laughed, "Uncle, but please rest assured, Fuzhou has fallen into my hands for nearly a year, if I haven't firmly controlled it in the palm of my hand, how can Li Qing have achieved what it is today, these people brought by the princess must be ready to be placed in Fuzhou, well, the princess has this power, after all, the holy decree said that Fuzhou will be led by him!" As for how far these people can go, it is up to them. ”

Li Huizhi advised: "Don't be careless, among the princess's staff, the first person is called Yan Nanfei, who was originally the staff of the first assistant Chen Xiyan, and is proficient in government affairs; Sleek and capable, he is a very difficult character. With him assisting the princess, you have to deal with it carefully. ”

Li Qing nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I can save it." ”

"Originally, I didn't have to say much, but before I came, the old man had something for me to bring to you, the princess seems to be bold and unscheming, but she has her own set of methods to unite people's hearts, otherwise she will not be able to take charge of the palace guards of the first army of Dachu for so many years, and let these tough guys obey and obey, and the old man is also worried that the princess will conflict with Qingfeng, Qingfeng's loyalty to you is not as good as him, but if you are against the princess, you may not be able to say what will happen, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, is difficult to predict."

Hearing Li Huizhi mention Qingfeng, a trace of gloom appeared on Li Qing's face, and during the day, Qingfeng's bright smile flashed in his mind again.

"I see!"

"Well, those important people in the princess's honor guard, your uncle Zonghua has done a detailed investigation, and I will ask people to send you these files when I go back, and the surnames, preferences, social relations, and aspects that these people are good at are all written on it one by one, you can look at it yourself!"

For Allure, Li Qing has not formed a complete image in his head so far, but he vaguely remembers that when he pulled down the other party's mask in the royal schoolyard, the reddened, round face, as for whether the drift is beautiful, he really didn't see it clearly, after all, when he found that he was pushed to the ground, and it was a woman who was sitting on it, and she was also a princess with a noble status, her mind was a little foggy.

As Li Huizhi intermittently mentioned some bits and pieces of the city, Li Qing's mind slowly sketched the image of a strong woman, and with Li Huizhi's narration, Li Qing's mind seemed to have a picture, Allure was wearing a helmet and armor, carrying a spear, and the halberd pointed at Li Qing, and shouted loudly: "Horse, let the horse come over, let your wife see your true ability!" As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

When Li Huizhi was talking to Li Qing in Dingzhou City, in the camp outside the city, King Han, Allure, and Yan Nanfei in Li Huizhi's mouth were also getting together.

The tent where Allure lives is very large, and it is very likely that it is the golden tent of the grassland barbarian chief captured by Li Qing, which is dozens of square sizes, and the tent is divided into two rooms, the outside to meet guests, and the inside to rest.

Although it was freezing outside, the thick tent kept the cold wind out, and the charcoal fire in the tent was as warm as spring.

"It's a good news that came at a good time!" Yan Nanfei stroked the three strands of long beard and said, "It seems to give us a dismount." Lord Han, princess, what do you see? ”

King Han stroked his snow-white beard and muttered: "This is not accurate, in fact, marrying a princess in Allure, the meaning of the inside is self-evident to both sides, the identity of the princess of Allure is not ordinary, maybe Li Qingren's meaning may really be a coincidence." ”

Allure said with a smile: "No matter what he means, in short, it is good to be able to defeat the barbarians, Hu He is the first general of the grassland, kill him, the defeat of the grassland barbarians is already a matter of waiting, as soon as the barbarians are pacified, and the two states can also be withdrawn as soon as possible, so that there is spare strength to form a reinforcement force for the emperor of Luoyang." ”

Yan Nannan frowned sharply, and said: "Princess, what does Li Qing think, now we don't know, today I walked around Dingzhou City for a long time, what I saw and heard, but it is not very good, the people of Dingzhou, only know Li Shuai, do not know the imperial court, between words, they are full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of their army, and besides, I finally contacted the person in charge of the staff department in Dingzhou, but, hehe! Yan Nanfei smiled helplessly.

"How?" Allure asked.

"All the staff departments of the two states have fallen under the control of the statistical survey department, and every move is under their noses, even today, the staff department guy also worked hard to get rid of the tracking, and after meeting with me for less than half an hour, he left in a hurry, listening to his tone, he was very afraid of the statistical survey department, it seems that we can't count on them in the future."

"What did he say to you?" King Han asked with concern.

"He only said it simply, although they received an order from the Imperial Court Department to fully cooperate with us, but I am afraid that they are powerless, as long as their actions are a little out of line, they will be arrested by the Statistical Survey Department, and according to him, Fuzhou is probably also under the iron rule of Li Qinghong's camp, from the state capital down, counties, towns, villages, including several major salt farms, all controlled by Dingzhou's henchmen, the princess wants to control the situation, I'm afraid it is not so easy."

Allure gritted his teeth and made a slight sound, "How long has it been since Li Qing took Fuzhou, and he has already taken full control?" ”

Yan Nanfei nodded, "Now we already know that the trouble in Fuzhou at that time was that Li Qing's generals crossed the mountain wind, and the sweep of the mountain wind in Fuzhou beat the old bureaucratic system to almost no one, and Li Qing's new policy in Dingfu and Fuzhou made the people at the bottom support him, which gave him a very high public opinion, if this is the case, we can also contact the gentry, it is still promising, but Li Qing then set up a business and trade department, and the interests of the gentry are equal. He also firmly tied the wealthy gentlemen of the two states to his chariot, coupled with the strict control of the Statistics and Survey Department, it can be said that the two states are basically like iron buckets, and water cannot be splashed. And when the guy from the department left, he repeatedly told me not to provoke the female devil in the statistical survey department. ”

Allure sneered: "Is he talking about Li Qing's woman Qingfeng?" ”

Yan Nanfei was silent, and King Han also coughed dryly twice and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, it's up to you!" Allure is authentic word by word.
