Qin Zhenghao went back to the house to take a good bath, and by the way, he was fortunate to have a beautiful maid, I haven't been so nervous for a long time.

Since the first step is out, you can't stop.

The maid was gentle and beautiful, but Qin Zhenghao's thoughts had already run away.

Menghu has not felt the pain of the two ends of the major families in the Central Plains, and he may not know much about it, but Qin Zhenghao knows that Luoyang was taken down so easily, and the Liu family in Hedong definitely has something to do inside, but the means are clever and cover up all traces.

Liu Jiaming's strength is very strong on the surface, but it is even more terrifying in the dark, especially in the subordinate army.

If Lin Jianyue, with the cooperation of the Liu family, only defeated the 50,000 horses that swallowed the Marshal Zahmin of Hedong, exposing his strength and dark line, but did not cause Menghu's injuries and bones, it would be too cost-effective, and it would not be good for future events.

Qin Zhenghao decided to find a way to use the tactics of adding fuel to the army, so that the elite cavalry of Menghu who controlled millions of strings was gradually and rapidly consumed under such circumstances, even if the national strength of Menghu could be retrained and replenished, but the combat power would not be the same. Therefore, Qin Zhenghao suggested to Li Chongshan to transfer troops to reinforce Hedong.

It's just that for this refueling plan to be implemented smoothly, Liu Jingye's tacit understanding and cooperation are needed.

Qin Zhenghao secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, since he is already the biggest and most famous traitor, then do it to the end, think of a crime to get Liu Jingye to the capital, and see if Liu Jingye, who has always been known for his intelligence and wisdom, can understand what he means, even if he can't understand himself, let him know the essence of the oil plan in advance.

It's just that you have to grasp the proportions, don't use too much force to make it self-defeating, and really beat the Liu family to death.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't lie down anymore, and immediately set off to Miyagi to see Li Chongshan. As the most trusted minister of the Han Dynasty by Li Chongshan, Qin Zhenghao had the right to ask to see Li Chongshan at any time, although Menghu began to practice the Han system at this time, but there was no pedantic situationism like the Ning Dynasty, such as not being able to enter the palace at night.

"Your Majesty, after the minister went back, I thought about it, but I was still a little unsure. Even if Lin Jianyue occupies a favorable location, but he takes Luoyang so easily, there must be a problem inside, according to the situation said by some officials and soldiers who fled back from Luoyang, they were basically killed into the city by Long Jie's army without much resistance, which shows that there must be a gentry clan and Lin Jianyue colluding with each other. ”

"What exactly does Master Qin want to say? Collusion is inevitable, and when we attack, the Ning Dynasty will do the same! This kind of thing can't be avoided, but you need to be careful and use key people in the future. ”

Qin Zhenghao shook his head and said: "It's just an ordinary family, but the Liu family in Hedong is different, their sphere of influence is close to Luoyang, if they collude with Lin Jianyue, it will be a big problem." ”

Li Chongshan was furious: "Does Master Qin have evidence? If it's just speculation, there is no need to say it. Liu Jingye, like you, has no problem with loyalty, he has taught me knowledge and made great contributions, how can he have anything to do with Lin Jianyue, who has not dried up? Master Qin, I know that you have always had a political disagreement with Liu Jingye, but he has returned to Taiyuan to recuperate, so Master Qin doesn't need to be too aggressive. ”

"Your Majesty forgives me, I am also anxious and worried, I also know that Liu Jingye must be fine, but the Liu family is not alone, there are nearly a thousand people up and down, and there are other people who have two hearts if they can't keep it, such as Liu Jingye's third son Liu Zhengjun, who was killed a few years ago, is such a person, even Liu Jingye himself knows that there is a problem. I think so, Your Majesty, there are already a lot of Han gentry who have taken refuge in our Dameng, they can't be killed and killed, and they are not easy to manage, there will be more and more problems in the future, and the generals who surrendered in Luoyang are not completely unrelated to the Liu family, now take advantage of the opportunity of Luoyang's incident to call Liu Jingye to most of them to reprimand him fiercely, so that those who have two hearts can see, even with Liu Jingye's status, one is not good, it will be unlucky, remind everyone to be careful in the future, next time this kind of thing happens, it is not so simple to reprimand. ”

Li Chongshan naturally knew what Qin Zhenghao's thoughts were now, and he didn't get angry, but said: "If you do this, will it make the loyal courtiers have doubts in their hearts, and then it will be counterproductive." ”

That's why I need to call Liu Jingye to Dadu, reprimand him openly, comfort him secretly, and give him some benefits. He Liu Jingye is deeply favored by His Majesty, and it is not a big deal to do something for His Majesty and be wronged, if there are resentments like this, then there is really a problem. ”

Li Chongshan couldn't cry or laugh: "Master Qin, speaking of which, you still don't let go of the idea of hitting Liu Jingye, okay, then call him back to reminisce about the past, but you can't do anything to him anymore, I am also very embarrassed." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I, Qin Zhenghao, have not been so small-bellied, take this opportunity, I will also talk to Liu Jingye about learning from experience, he has been back for so long, he must understand the thoughts of the local generals and gentry, we have to formulate some preventive measures in a targeted manner."

Li Chongshan was very happy, and felt that Qin Zhenghao was really worthy of being the pillar of the empire, and he could always think of something he couldn't think of and check and fill in the gaps.

Lin Jianyue found that reputation was something that could not be seen or touched, but it was really useful. Not long after taking Xuzhou, before they began to come up with any policies that were beneficial to the locality, the local gentry themselves pounced on them to show their loyalty, not to mention the endless stream of money and materials, and some of them sent women.

It is one thing to occupy the territory of Jingbei Road, for the rich and powerful people in the local area, it is their greatest confidence to be able to defeat more than 100,000 elite Menghu cavalry in this place in the Central Plains, since Zhao Wumu, Lin Jianyue is still the first, if such a person does not take refuge, who else can he take refuge? The surrender of Menghu is a general trend, and it is a last resort to save the lives of his family, and Lin Jianyue has the same root and the same species as them, and he is also famous for his benevolence in Ruzhou, so he naturally has no scruples and pressure, but he is afraid that he will come late, and he will not be able to catch anything, let alone fall well.

Xuzhou is now the closest place to the front line, different from Luoyang, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River, here is a flat river, the main force of the Hu army in Kaifeng Mansion is coming, the risk is extremely great, how to confront and defend, Lin Jianyue, Liu Bingyun, Hao Tianfeng and others have discussed for a long time, and the army does not dare to move easily in Xuzhou for the time being.

"It's not enough to just defend the cities, it requires a lot of troops, and the material supply is also a bottomless pit, and the risk is also great, and it is very easy to be robbed. Taking advantage of the fact that the Hu people have not yet reacted and have just been defeated and demoralized, I want to send troops from the three directions of Changge County in the north, Yingchang Prefecture, and Xihua County in the south to build a fortress that can garrison 10,000 troops at the junction with Kaifeng Prefecture, hoard grain and grass, and stick to the confrontation for a long time, and all the cavalry troops will stay in Xuzhou, and be stationed in two places in Chang Ge Xihua, so as to maintain the threat to Kaifeng Prefecture, and if these three places are not completely taken, the Hu people will not dare to go deep into Xuzhou, leaving enough time for other places on Jingxi Road to restore people's livelihood and expand training troops. What do you think? ”

Lin Jianyue's method is the best defensive strategy at present, and the cost is the lowest.

Attacking instead of defending is the best way, but unfortunately the strength is insufficient, the entire Longjie army is currently nearly 200,000 troops, but there are 70,000 or 80,000 troops, it will take time to form combat power, the cavalry is also seriously insufficient, there is no ability to take the initiative to attack comprehensively, it is difficult to have such an opportunity to sneak attack Luoyang, after entering the Great Plains area, the fight can only be strength.
