Long Xiaotian, who had just been in the financial secretary's buttocks and was not yet hot, was transferred to Quanzhou, which is now in the midst of war, Li Qing gave him a temporary official title, and the wartime Quanzhou affairs were disposed of, this is not a formal official position, but it has great power, the so-called upper horse to manage the army, dismount to manage the people, the whole state is now not too big by Li Qing, limited to the surrounding areas of Zhuji County, but with the victory of the Dingzhou army, Long Xiaotian's jurisdiction is also expanding day by day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Those who understand can see at a glance that Long Xiaotian must be the governor of Quanzhou who is about to belong to Li Qing. Long Xiaotian's promotion speed was fast, and it also set a record for the fastest promotion of Dingzhou officials, so far, another political force supported by Li Qing can be regarded as officially entering the house, which is completely another new force represented by the merchant forces, so that the political pattern of Li Qing's subordinates began to appear diversified.

Long Xiaotian's ascension made the big businessmen of the Dingzhou Chamber of Commerce ecstatic, which means that they finally have a spokesperson of their own at the top of Dingzhou and have their own world. This is of great significance to improve the status of businessmen, in the past, although the businessmen contributed money and efforts to Li Qingzhi, but the status has been a little embarrassing, for thousands of years, the ranking of Shinong industry and commerce makes them rich, but the political status has been low, although Long Xiaotian has a talent identity, but he is really a businessman, his ascension also represents Li Qing's attention to them, and intends to improve their right to speak in Dingzhou.

Long Xiaotian is rising, the happiest is his father Long Sihai, this former businessman who lived in Jing'an with his keen political vision, made an unexpected move in that year, over the years, the return is amazing, not only he has jumped all the way to become the president of the Dingzhou Chamber of Commerce, the family wealth is hundreds of millions, and his son has become a core member of the Dingzhou ruling group. At the beginning of Long Xiaotian's rise, Long Sihai vigorously organized the Chamber of Commerce to raise funds and raise food, which was continuously transported to Zhuji to support his son's reconstruction work in Quanzhou. The businessmen of Dingzhou will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and the successful example of Long Sihai is in front, and if you contribute at this time, you will be able to harvest it in the future. In just a few days, Long Sihai raised hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and supplies.

Compared with the fanaticism of his father and the Chamber of Commerce, Long Xiaotian is much quieter, since he became the magistrate of Chongxian County, Long Xiaotian knows that he has taken the fast track to promotion, Li Dashuai intends to diversify the political forces under his rule and does not hide it at all, sure enough, after only being the magistrate of Chongxian County for more than a year, he was transferred to the Financial Secretary and officially entered the core department, but he did not expect that he would be transferred again so soon, and it was in the whole state.

Unlike Jiewei Fu Zhengqing, the states they took over were completely attributed to Li Qing before taking office, which can be described as calm, just follow the steps, and now the whole state is full of war, although the surrounding Zhuji has been laid, but the people have no food, clothing, housing and transportation, people's hearts are floating, the nails sown by Liao Bin are raging everywhere, killing and looting, the whole Zhuji people are panicked, it can be said that what he took over is a mess, if you want to achieve something in a short period of time, you need to test his ability, do a good job, This informal position can be turned into the post of governor of Quanzhou in a bright and bright way, and if it is bad, he will have to roll back to Dingzhou in disgrace, and his career will inevitably suffer a major blow, and Li Dashuai will inevitably be disappointed.

So on the way to Zhuji to take office, Long Xiaotian had already planned a package of plans. Dingzhou officials, very few hired staff, but Long Xiaotian has a set of staff who are proficient in copywriting, money and food, and criminal names, these people are all paid by him out of his own pocket and invited at a large price, in the few days on the way to Zhuji, Long Xiaotian's package plan has been discussed and revised by these people day and night, and has gradually taken shape, which makes Long Xiaotian's heart stop a lot, and his confidence is also more sufficient.

Taking the village as a unit, the Dingkou was investigated, the armor protection law was established, and the entire Zhuji area was a war zone, and the local Dingkou mobile opened a road guide, and relied on the road to guide the flow until the end of the war, which could limit the nails sown by Liao Bin to the greatest extent, limit their activity space, and make it difficult for them to move an inch.

This is the core content of Dingzhou's new policy, and it is also a policy that can best win the hearts of the grassroots people.

Between the villages, set up outposts, heavy rewards, where the village captures a remnant of the state, a heavy reward of 50 taels of silver, where such people are harbored, etc., the whole village sits together. In addition to the severe punishment of the main offender, the distribution of relief food and the distribution of land will be reduced to one level.

A series of measures were carried out by Lei Li in a fashionable manner, and the surrounding areas of Zhuji were solemn, coupled with the severe blows of Sun Zewu and Wang Qi, the 5,000 soldiers and horses left by Liao Bin suffered heavy losses, especially after Chen Guang was captured alive by Wang Qisheng, and most of the rest of the troops were scattered, and Zhuji was quickly wiped out in a very short period of time.

At the head of Zhuji City, a series of dozens of remnants were tied, all of which were captured by the surrounding villagers, and sent to Zhuji to receive rewards, but Long Xiaotian's methods were extremely cool, tying these people up, hanging them at the head of the city, and hanging them alive.

Zhuji was purged, and the two led their troops to follow Li Qing's footsteps in the depths of Quanzhou, and Long Xiaotian's subordinates also began to accept places village by town.

By the end of May, Li Qing's main force advanced to the city of Quanzhou, and Long Xiaotian followed suit, taking over all the ground of Quanzhou except for the city of Quanzhou.

"Get on your knees!" Chen Guang was pushed into Li Qing's big tent, and the two soldiers shouted.

Chen Guang was extremely strong, closed his eyes to the sky, and did not say a word. On that day, he returned from Shuyuan Village and returned to Qingshigang, and after being lured into the cave, he was immediately attacked from front to back, and in that small space, almost none of his 300 subordinates survived, and he was captured alive. To this day, he still has not figured out how the other party attacked the cave and wiped out 200 soldiers in the cave, and none of them escaped the net.

The two soldiers kicked Chen Guang's knee one by one, and he could no longer stand steadily, and he snorted and knelt down in front of Li Qing's case.

When he opened his eyes, Chen Guang saw for the first time that legendary figure, who was about his age, but whose achievements were heavenly and earthly. Li Qing also looked at him with interest, the two eyes collided in the air, Chen Guang's heart trembled, but he still did not flinch, glaring at Li Qing viciously.

"Fall, or die?" Li Qing asked lightly.

"Die!" Chen Guang's answer was extremely crisp, which simply made Li Qing stunned, looking at the corners of the other party's mouth tightly, Li Qing gave up the idea of persuading him to surrender again, although from the bottom of his heart he still admired this young general, who could freely control the five thousand subordinates scattered behind the enemy, and it was impossible to do it without a certain ability.

"Slashed!" Li Qing waved his hand.

Outside the city of Quanzhou, Liao Bin looked at the strong camp of the Dingzhou army outside the city with a worried face, he didn't expect that Li Qing actually pacified the place in such a short period of time, almost followed his footsteps to the city of Quanzhou, he saw only Dingzhou's strong and efficient bureaucracy and huge financial resources for the first time, along the way, Liao Bin almost took the same strategy as Zhuji, but except in Zhuji, Li Qing was delayed for ten days, and in the rest of the place, Li Qing, who had been fully prepared, never stopped, and the army walked on the front foot, There is a huge logistics on the back foot to keep up, take over and appease the place, so that all his hard work is in vain, now speaking, it is Li Qing who has taken a big advantage, and the people of Quanzhou now mention Liao Bin are all gritting their teeth, and when it comes to Dingzhou Li Dashuai, they are all grateful.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!

"Lao Chen, now I still have 50,000 elite soldiers in Quanzhou City, and there are countless grains and grasses, according to your estimates, can we hold Quanzhou?" Liao Bin asked a veteran next to him, this person's name is Chen Chong, but he is Chen Guang's father and Liao Bin's sworn brother.

Chen Chong said with a smile: "Dashuai, now the city of Quanzhou is full of elite soldiers and fierce generals cultivated by Dashuai for many years, with sufficient grain and grass reserves, excellent ordnance, with 50,000 people guarding the whole state, and resisting Dingzhou Li Qing is less than 100,000 people, although the Dingzhou army is strong, but we dare not say victory, but it is enough to defend the city." There is a saying in military law, ten times the attack, five times the siege, now Dingzhou Li Qing only has twice our military strength, want to break my whole state, it is really a dream. ”

Liao Bin smiled and said: "It's really the same as the hero, when I gave up the defense of most areas of the state, but concentrated the elite soldiers in the city of Quanzhou, it is to save this thought, after Dingzhou, the infantry did not say, its cavalry is really fierce, less and its field battles, according to the fortified city and defend it, when you can consume as much of its troops as possible, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for us, the situation in the Central Plains is strange and bizarre, I think that no matter which one wins, I will not sit back and watch Li Qing take Quanzhou, if Li Qing wins Quanzhou, Yizhou will annex Jinzhou, The Li clan forces will be connected and become a big problem in the Central Plains, and whoever is in power in Luoyang will have a headache, so we just have to defend Quanzhou City, and naturally someone will come to relieve the siege for us. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, "Dashuai, defending the city is the most taboo, we have 50,000 people, when you can choose the opportunity to attack, both offensive and defending, it is the best policy!" Chen Chong said.

"That's nature!" Liao Bin said, "In the battle of Nine Blade Peak, although Li Qing won, he also suffered heavy losses, and his Hailing battalion was basically disabled. ”

Chen Chong nodded. "The terrain of Nine Swords Peak is special, this kind of battle is not enough, and it is extremely difficult to replicate, but this battle allows us to see the combat power of Li Qing's subordinates, which is quite helpful to us at the moment."

The two were discussing some key points of defending the city, and suddenly heard the sound of drums in the Dingzhou military camp opposite, and after a while, dozens of Dingzhou soldiers poured out of the camp gate, out of the camp more than 100 zhang, erected a bamboo pole of more than ten zhang, and at the top, a human head was hung high.
