The whole Great Chu is in a mess, at this time, only Dingzhou Fuzhou and Li Qing Town under the rule of this piece of pure land, after the pacification of the Western Barbarians, Dingzhou rarely ushered in a few months of tranquility, no war, no invasion, even the bandits were wiped out, now these three places, under the governance of Li Qing, can really be described as not leaving the road behind, not closing the door at night. If you don't have any of these and are a non-resident with nothing, it doesn't matter, if you know how to farm, it will immediately divide your land and provide you with basic living expenses for the first year, as long as you repay it in installments later, and enjoy the preferential treatment of exempting all taxes for one year. If you don't even know how to farm, there are countless workshops where you can work and earn what you need.

The calm here has made countless people displaced by the war flock to come, in just a few months, the people under Li Qing's rule have nearly 100,000 people, and Li Qing is not refused, he is now under the rule of the vast and sparsely populated, what is most needed is a large influx of population, in the eyes of other wealthy families in Dachu as the flood beast of the homeless people, in Li Qing's view, it is the future income of one or two taels of silver, he only needs a small amount of investment in the early stage, in exchange for a large amount of taxes in the future, and an endless stream of soldiers.

Everything was going according to Li Qing's wishes, the northern army led by Lu Fengchun stormed Zeng's, and Zeng's knew that his strength was inferior, so he cleverly implemented the strong wall clearing, gave up a large area of land, and held on to some big cities, due to the intelligence obtained in advance, these big cities and towns were well prepared, enough to support the long-term defense, which won valuable time for the rear to rearrange the second line of defense, and what reassured Zeng even more was that the support promised by Li Qing had already set off, and as long as they supported it for a longer time, The more likely Li Qing sent troops to the north, the greater the surname of the Lu clan.

Space for time! This was Tsang's general strategy for warfare. It seems that Shunzhou, the forefront of Zeng's resistance to the northern Lu clan, was cut to pieces by Lu Fengchun, leaving only isolated cities to support it, but on the contrary, because of the existence of these lonely cities, most of Lu Fengchun's soldiers and horses were also cut into individual reading troops, lacking effective support for each other.

The Lü clan seems to have obtained a large territory in Shunzhou, but the previous strategic goals have not been achieved at all, in this case, the Lü clan has been unwillingly dragged into the quagmire of the long-term war step by step, and if these isolated cities are not pulled out, Lü Fengchun will not dare to march on a large scale, but it is not easy to pull out these nails.

After Hu Zequan served as the commander of the Southern Army in Qinzhou, the Southern Army temporarily suppressed the Xiao with the advantage of troops, but it is believed that with the Xiao Clan sending additional reinforcements, Qinzhou will become a new meat grinder.

The most incomprehensible thing for Li Qing is Qu Yongjie in Xingzhou, originally in Li Qing's estimate, Qu Yongjie could only choose one side to join after the war with Xiao in the south was launched, but the facts surprised Li Qing, Qu Yongjie somehow, actually raised a large number of military materials, in a short period of time, he trained tens of thousands of very good troops, so that King Ning and Xiao Haoran at the same time to throw a mouse bogey, actually let him in Xingzhou left and right, mixed with the wind and water, and Qu Yongjie, who was originally a military general, After Qu Yongjie became the master, the territory was greatly stabilized, and a large number of bandits were wiped out, and the rest could only shrink in the deep mountains and rivers to survive.

All of this had to make Li Qing re-examine Qu Yongjie, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army. And the information brought by Qingfeng made Li Qing a little jealous of Qu Yongjie, Yuan Fang, the commander of the former court staff department, also defected to Qu Yongjie, you must know that the previous Yuan Fang's position in the court was higher than that of Qu Yongjie, if you can make this capable minister-level person also willingly serve Qu Yongjie, it can be seen that Qu Yongjie is indeed outstanding.

Monitor everything in Xingzhou, this is an order given by Li Qing to Qingfeng, and all of a sudden, a large number of field officers of the Statistical Survey Department poured into Xingzhou. The contest between the new star of the spy world, White Fox Qingfeng, and the veteran spy leader Yuan Fang kicked off in Xingzhou.

Although there is the existence of the uncertain factor of Xingzhou, this does not affect Li Qing's good mood, he has always been based on me, he only needs to do his own thing, as for the enemy or the person who temporarily does not distinguish between me and the enemy, it is best to suppress it, if it is really not suppressed, then in the end it will have to rely on his own strength to compete. Li Qing didn't think that Qu Yongjie would cause much trouble to himself.

Today, under the rule of Li Qingzhen Xihoufu, it has three prefectures and a large area of land outside the Guan, with a total of millions of Dingkou, with the Lu Division, the Qi Nian Division, the Yishan Division and the newly established Changsheng Division led by Jiang Kui, these four main divisions have more than 100,000 soldiers, plus more than 10,000 garrisons in the three states led by Feng Guotong, more than 10,000 people in the Yang Yidao Department of the East and West Protectors, and more than 10,000 people in the Guan Xinglong Division, and Li Qing can actually mobilize as many as 150,000 troops.

On top of the people's livelihood, the three states have stepped on the right track, and after the merger of the states into the rule, the three states have basically been able to achieve self-sufficiency in grain, but Li Qing still instructed the Department of Commerce and Trade to do everything possible to purchase grain from the Central Plains for cantonment, although the Central Plains War, grain has become a strategic material, and has become an embargoed material for the states, but in the face of a large amount of wealth, there are always some people who will take risks and quietly smuggle grain to Dingzhou, and in addition to these shady transactions, Dingzhou is selling weapons, salt, etc. to major forces, However, instead of gold and silver, the settlement was designated to be settled only with grain, and with all kinds of measures, Li Qing had already gathered enough food for a year in the three prefectures in just a few months, and this number was still increasing.

In the troubled times, what is the most important, food, with food, you can maintain the stability under the rule, can maintain the combat strength of the army, and fight a war, the first thing to fight is logistics, this point, Li Qing has a clearer understanding than other major heroes. Gold and silver are indeed lovely, but at certain times, they are the most useless things.

Dingzhou is now the most relaxed time, except for the necessary strategic garrison troops, the other troops have been lifted from the state of war, transferred to training, rest, after three or four years of war, most of the soldiers have also reached a pole, it is time for them to relax and relax.

And during this time, it has become the most festive day in Dingzhou, a large number of singles have found their daughters-in-law, and they have married one after another. Li Qing also began to shuttle around the weddings of some middle and high-ranking officials, especially in the army, the officers of the troops brought out by Li Qing are basically emerging military attache groups, the average age of senior officers is low, and the high-level officers do not need Li Qing to attend, and they do not dare to expect Li Qing to go, but from the top of the captain Zhenwu, Li Qing will send a happy as long as he has time, sit down a little, drink a glass of wine, even if he really doesn't have time to go, he will send the iron leopard to send happy money and congratulations.

But this period of time has made Tang Hu extremely difficult, Tang Hu is a single, bold and bold, easy to make friends, friends all over the army, a large number of officers get married, and he is always indispensable to receive a post, he has to prepare a congratulatory gift, and after a few months, the gift is given to Tang Hu's face like earth. The pocket is empty, and in his hand, he is now holding a very important wedding sticker, the only younger brother of General Lu Dalin, the new wedding of General Lu Dabing.

Sitting at the door of Li Qing's study with a sad face, Tang Hu pondered hard about where to get some congratulatory gifts that did not fall off, others saw Tang Hu very bright, the shadow of the handsome, the most trusted person of the handsome, and he could still be poor, in fact, Tang Hu was very arrogant, and often when the money came, he came with his left hand and his right hand, and there was no money left in his hand, and he didn't have the courage to collect black money, if he let the handsome know, it would be terrible. But Lu Dabing's identity is different, and his friendship with him is also extraordinary, if this congratulatory gift is bad, not only will he have no face, but Lu Dabing will also have no face.

Tang Hu was so engrossed that Li Qing didn't even hear him call a few times in the study, and when Li Qing walked out of the study, he saw Tang Hu with a sad face, tilting his head, and looking at the white clouds in the sky with one eye, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Huzi!" Li Qing shouted. But Tang Hu was startled, and when he saw Li Qing standing in the door of the study, he jumped up suddenly, "What do you have to say?" ”

Li Qing looked at his demeanor and said with a little amusement: "Huzi, what do you want to think, I didn't hear you a few times, which let Mr. Shang know, I'm afraid that I will have to beat you again." ”

Tang Hu sneered and said: "The handsome forgiveness, but this can't let Mr. Shang know, although he won't be beaten now, a scolding is indispensable." Tang Hu has been with Li Qing for a long time, and knows that Li Qing is actually a very easy-going person, although he respects him, he is not very afraid of him, but Shang Haibo makes him a little afraid, he is always so serious, always so businesslike, sometimes Tang Hu can't see any human touch from Shang Haibo.

"Can't you see that our tiger has something on his mind? What are you thinking? Speak up and let me read it for you? "I was a little tired from reading the official documents, and Li Qing also wanted to relax.

"Actually, actually..."Tang Hu hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, "Dashuai, in fact, I want to ask you to borrow a little money." ”

"Borrow money?" Li Qing couldn't help laughing, "Look at you in the future, no, well, your general's military rank is not low, how did you make it look like this, besides, you are short of money, just tell me, is it possible to make my personal general worry about money?" ”

Tang Hu was overjoyed, "Dashuai, with your words, I am relieved, you know, I have always spent the money with my left hand and my right hand, but this period of time, there are too many happy events, when it is with the happy money, I have given out hundreds of taels of silver, there is really no way at all, well, now Lu Dabing is also here to join in the fun, and I don't know if I will wait until next month to send it and then settle it, which makes me extremely embarrassed." ”

Li Qing laughed, "It turned out to be a favor to send the poor, well, you said this is also a problem, Huzi, do you have any idea that you can also find a daughter-in-law to get married, and get back all the handfuls that were sent out before, if you get married, how about I give you a big gift?" By the way, Huzi, you follow me all day long, do you have a crush on someone, if so, I'll do this for you, no matter which one you fall in love with, with me as a matchmaker, the other party has to give me three points of thin noodles, right? ”

Tang Hu's black face turned red instantly, turning purple red, and he looked at Li Qing with a twist, glanced at it, lowered his head, looked at it again, and lowered his head again.

Li Qing Daqi, I didn't expect Tang Hu to really have a crush, I usually look at him without humming, it seems that in the affairs of men and women, it is not without enlightenment.

"I really want someone, who is it, say it, I'll do it for you." Li Qing patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, Tang Hu was heartfelt to himself, let him start a family as soon as possible, and also counted his own affairs, to be honest, after getting along with Tang Hu in these places, he has regarded him more as his relatives.

"Dashuai, there is one, but it is a little difficult, and I don't know if the other party can afford me! You see, I can't lead troops to fight, be a decent general, and I can't read and understand etiquette, and I'm still crippled. Tang Hu said uneasily.

"Whew!" Li Qing was a little angry, "Huzi, how can you look down on yourself so much, it's not that no one has this talent when leading troops to fight, your talent is not on it, and although you don't have an eye, the eye you lost, in my opinion, is your medal, who dares to look down on you?" Tell me, who it is, I would like to see, who dares to look down on my General Tang! ”

Tang Hu gently spit out a name, but this name made Li Qing a little overshadowed and felt very tricky.

Mom is a bear, why do you like this woman? Li Qing rubbed his forehead.
