Chapter 405: Stratagem

While nodding his head and praising secretly, Qin Duan also found that Su Qin seemed to be unfinished, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you and I are already a family now, if you have any ideas, just say it, Liang Qiming and I will listen to it." ”

"Well, my lord, I have an idea, but it's not mature and I'm not very sure, but I think it's good for us." Su Qin had some reasons, obviously not much sure.

"Oh? Let's listen to it, since it's a good and harmless thing, why not give it a try. Qin Duan was very emotional, and even Liang Qiming diverted his attention.

"I learned from the Intelligence Bureau that Li Yuancheng has been in poor health recently, it is said that it is not light, and he only has one son under his knees, his son does not like government affairs, likes to travel, rarely stays at home, and travels all year round. Su Qin slowly told the information he had obtained.

"Oh? Where is his hometown? When Qin Duan heard this, his spirits immediately lifted.

"He is from Longdong Prefecture, Kansai County." Su Qin replied.

"Now Lishan County has been vaguely divided into two factions, one faction is headed by Li Yuancheng's brother Li Yuanhui, the head of the Lishan First Garrison Division, he is a resolute pro-Siathrow faction, and the Siathrow Empire Nuremberg garrison commander Ou Ye has a lot of relationship, but this guy has a violent personality and is not popular below, and the other faction is headed by Zhou Tinggui, the director of the Lishan County Administration Office, they belong to the pro-imperial faction and have always hoped to maintain friendly relations with the empire, but due to the impact of the original Lishan incident, Unable to maintain better relations with the Empire, this faction included the main officers of the 2nd and 3rd Garrison Divisions. I was thinking that we could first contact Li Yuancheng, understand his attitude, and do some work to contact the main officials of the other pro-imperial factions. Otherwise, once the Sithro people find out about the change in Li Yuancheng's attitude, maybe they will first contact the pro-Sithro faction in Lishan County to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, after all, the first garrison division is the strongest, and with the help of the Sithroes, there is a great possibility of success. Su Qin told the information he had obtained plus his own analysis one by one.

"Well, it's a good opportunity. Can't let it go. The ability to recover Lishan County without bloodshed is of great significance, even if our northwest is truly unified, I, the military and political envoy of the northwest, will live up to its name. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in the middle, Su Qin, you are right, you must contact and do the work immediately, and you must not fall behind the Sithro. Qin Dui's attitude was resolute.

"We must immediately strengthen the monitoring of the Sithroy garrison at Nuremberg, and if there is any change, our army must also intervene immediately. But you can't act in advance yet, otherwise Li Yuancheng will misunderstand. Liang Qiming also added.

"It's better not to go this far, but we also have to be prepared, so that the 3rd and 5th Divisions are ready, and the Tokugawa Garrison Division is also vigilant, if we really want to fight, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Qin Duan nodded in agreement with Liang Qiming's opinion.

"The person who went to Lishan to contact?" Qin Duan looked at Su Qin.

"Su Qin is the best to do, I hope to bring good news to adults." Su Qin accepted the task with a smile.

"There is Brother Su out of the horse. That's naturally an instant success. Liang Qiming also congratulated with a smile.

"Well, thank you Brother Liang for your good words." Su Qin was confident.

Stand on the tower and look to the north. Su Qin and they have been taken for two days, Qin Dui's heart is heavy, he is not worried about Su Qin's safety, after all, Su Qin is to visit his sick subordinates on behalf of himself, the military and political envoy of the Northwest, no matter who is unfavorable to them.

But the intelligence response in the past two days was not optimistic, and the Sithro's army at Nuremberg had already begun to make another secret adjustment. Although the amplitude is not large, it is all carried out at night, which is very suspicious. And Su Qin has never sent the news back, which also makes Qin Du uneasy.

We can't wait any longer, and at least we have to let the troops prepare first. Under Qin Dui's orders. The Fifth Division of the First Regiment of the Northwest Army quickly advanced to the Mangye Plain in the northwest, nominally to the Mangye Plain for military training, and the internal propaganda also said that it was to protect the Seventeen Imperial Princesses who inspected there, as for why a division would be dispatched to protect it, it was of course an emphasis on the safety of the Seventeen Imperial Princesses.

The Third Division of the First Army Corps was also ready for a while, and Li Taohong even ran to Qin Dui's side several times to ask, when would he set off, he had been in Tokugawa for several years and had not caught a real battle, which made Li Taohong almost sick, and it was easy to wait until now, but there was no movement for a long time, how could this not make Li Taohong's heart anxious

"My lord, someone from Tokugawa has come to visit you." Zhou Tinggui looked at the county guard Li Yuancheng lying on the hospital bed with some concern, looking at his emaciated face, his heart was sad for no reason, he worked day and night, sandwiched between the two major forces, with the increasing age, the county guard's physical condition is far worse than before, and now he is sick, and there is almost no one in the huge city guard mansion who can help except himself.

"Oh?" Opening his somewhat godless eyes, a trace of flushing appeared on Li Yuancheng's face, and with the support of the maid beside him, Li Yuancheng sat up hard, "Tinggui, I've worked hard for you these days, I think my body may be difficult to survive this year." ”

"Why do you say that? You just feel the wind and cold occasionally, and with a little rest, you will definitely be able to recover your health. Zhou Tinggui frowned and said, "If you really want to go back to your hometown to recuperate, you can also apply to the Imperial Court." ”

Zhou Tinggui deeply understands his desire to return to his hometown to recuperate, the ups and downs of the past few decades have made him tired, and the sharp edges and corners of his youth have long been worn out by the ruthless reality.

"Apply? The Emperor of the Apocalypse still has to peel me off? After recovering a little, Li Yuancheng showed a self-deprecating wry smile at the corner of his mouth, "He's been waiting for this day." ”

Zhou Tinggui sighed in his heart, Lord County Shou no longer has the pride of the past, and the passage of time has turned a once glorious imperial general into an ordinary old man, he is not good at making any more persuasions, so he has to say again: "My lord, Tokugawa Qin Du has sent someone to visit you." ”

"Well, I know, everything that should come will come." Li Yuancheng's face was flat, but his vision was extremely far-reaching, "I think the Sithro people will also send people, right?" ”

"Back to my lord, the envoy of General Ou Ye of Nuremberg has also arrived in Lishan City, and now he has gone to General Yuanhui." Zhou Tinggui replied bitterly.

"Hmph, it seems that the Sithro people see the shape very clearly!"

Li Yuancheng had already regained his usual majesty, although he still looked a little haggard, but his mental state was much better, and it was obviously these uninvited guests who aroused his fighting spirit.

"Go and invite the messenger of Lord Qin, and say that the old man will see him in the study." Li Yuancheng got out of bed in his clothes and motioned to the little maid next to him to dress him.

"Your body, my lord?" Zhou Tinggui only asked, and seeing that the county guard's brows were already furrowed, he didn't say anything more and went out.

"It's time to be broken, it's been 20 years, and I, Li Yuancheng, have been carrying this reputation for betraying the country for glory for 20 years, and I've had enough." Looking at Zhou Tinggui's back when he went out, Li Yuancheng muttered to himself. (To be continued......)
