Qin Zhenghao felt that his spirit was getting better and better during this time, and once people had big expectations, or new goals, their motivation came up.

When the news of Lin Jianyue's defeat in Yingzhou came, Qin Zhenghao was still surprised at first, but when he understood the process in detail, doubts came up.

Lin Jianyue dared to use Wu Zhong as the commander of the first army, there must be a reason, if it was so easy to surrender to the enemy, Lin Jianyue would definitely not be able to go today.

Shang Gui conspired to buy Wu Zhong, which was the initiative of the Hu people many days in advance, and it was recorded in Hachi, Kaifeng Prefecture, and there was no problem; The successful bribery, the formulation of a plan to annihilate the Xinyang army, and the attack on Yingzhou are very reasonable; Lured out Wu Yi, the second army of the Xinyang Army, Shang Gui and Wu Zhong united to the north to encircle and annihilate in the field, Huaixi Sun Zhengyi sent troops to contain Wang Lizheng of Caizhou, and the plan to get here was perfect, but then the problem came, Lin Jianyue was able to ambush more than 50,000 main troops in Qiu County in advance, and the time and place were accurate, indicating that Lin Jianyue had already known Shang Gui's attack plan in advance, but he couldn't know whether Wu Zhong faked surrender or his subordinates snitched, but according to the news verified by the Khan's Imperial Eagle Guard, Wu Zhong has been acting with Shang Gui, It was preliminarily determined that his generals leaked secrets.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhenghao was a little speechless, Shang Gui's ability is still good, but he is too clever and too careful, and he will not give up even if he wins the main general, and he will continue to buy and control his subordinate generals.

Next, Lin Jianyue completely wiped out the Hu people and Huaidong soldiers and horses, and only this Wu Zhong escaped, and escaped with Shang Gui, Qin Zhenghao smiled slightly, this is the right way to open.

What's even more strange is that Sun Zhengyi of Huaixi did not attack Wang Lizheng's troops in Caizhou as planned, but went directly north to take advantage of Lin Jianyue's unpreparedness, sneak attack Lin Jianyue's back road, and defeat Lin Jianyue, who is the strongest.

Qin Zhenghao laughed, Sun Zhengyi is very strong, but if he is really strong enough to see through Lin Jianyue's means, he can still make a plan to attack Lin Jianyue in advance, and he will not live in such a small place near Shouchun for so many years before.

Hu Ren didn't dare to believe such a big thing, he had been investigating for many days, and the latest news was that Wu Zhong had hooked up with Sun Zhengyi in advance, and what he wanted was to take advantage of the fish.

The final result of this battle was that the Hu army was annihilated, Lin Jianyue's strength was not greatly damaged, and Sun Zhengyi's army expanded rapidly, and occupied the three states of Huaixi, Huaidong, and Jingxi, with a territory of thousands of miles.

After analyzing this, Qin Zhenghao has basically judged that this should be Lin Jianyue's strategy and plan, but there are many loopholes.

Qin Zhenghao immediately sent his henchmen to verify Lin Jianyue's location again, and not surprisingly, he was still in Tangzhou, and the guards and cavalry were also there.

At this time, Qin Zhenghao finally determined that this was Lin Jianyue's handwriting, and it seemed that his plan was very big and his courage was not small.

The loophole must be filled, otherwise the anti-intermediary plan will fail, and Lin Jianyue really needs to respond to Sun Zhengyi.

The good news is also that Son Zhengyi did have the intention of surrendering before Lin Jianyue obtained the Jingbei Road, and he also had the tokens and letters that Shang Gui gave him before he died.

Doing these things, the Hu people are not good at it, and they can't analyze themselves so thoroughly, but there are many capable people among the Hu people, otherwise they wouldn't be able to go today.

Qin Zhenghao decided to immediately go to see Li Chongshan and flickered in reverse.

"Your Majesty, I recently heard that Jingxi Lin Jianyue was defeated, I wonder if Your Majesty has a plan for the next step?"

"What does Master Qin think?"

"The minister asked someone about this, it was not the Dameng army that defeated Lin Jianyue, but Sun Zhengyi of Huaixi, Dameng's losses were quite large, but when did Sun Zhengyi surrender to Dameng?"

At this time, Li Chongshan sat up and said: "According to Hachi, after Dameng entered Jingxi Road and Huaidong Road two years ago, Sun Zhengyi had the intention of surrendering, so he did not fight him at that time, and Sun Zhengyi officially joined Dameng before this war. ”

Qin Zhenghao frowned and said: "In this case, why was Shang Guibing, as the main general, defeated and died, and Sun Zhengyi, who had just surrendered, became prosperous?" Has Your Majesty sent someone to check it carefully? Don't fall for the opposite. ”

Li Chongshan remained silent: "I also have some doubts, but Sun Zhengyi has always had a very bad relationship with their court over there before, it is said that it is because Sun Zhengyi's daughter almost met in battle, it shouldn't be a fake surrender!" ”

Qin Zhenghao shook his head and said: "In the past, when Lin Jianyue didn't get up, Sun Zhengyi was threatened and didn't surrender, but now he surrendered instead of threatening, there must be something in between, but I don't know what the specific thing is." ”

Li Chongshan said with a smile: "Sun Zhengyi's daughter is very famous in the Central Plains, I have heard of it, the beauties of the country are always inseparable, now it's okay, Lin Jianyue's kid is blessed, and it actually fell into his hands." ”

Qin Zhenghao's eyes widened: "Lin Jianyue is quite extraordinary, he shouldn't be so unwise, for the sake of a woman to make enemies with friendly soldiers, the minister doesn't believe it." ”

"That's not it, it's that Lin Jianyue was angry after the defeat, and he raided Gwangju in Huaixi and snatched Sun Zhengyi's daughter who left him in the Gwangju Courtyard."

Qin Zhenghao thought for a moment before saying, "Could it be that Sun Zhengyi and Lin Jianyue colluded to plot against me?" I don't know if these two people knew each other or had any dirty things before, although Han infighting is commonplace, but military affairs should still be cautious. ”

When Li Chongshan heard Qin Zhenghao's words, he finally began to get serious, stood up and walked to Qin Zhenghao's side and said: "There is a key person in this war, that is, Wu Zhong, the commander of the Third Army of Lin Jianyue's newly established Xinyang Army, according to the information from all parties, including the information provided by Shang Gui to Hachi, it is true that this person forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, and it is also true that he once rebelled against Lin Jianyue, but he is the old man of the Li family in Tangzhou Lin Jianyue has to use it. After the war, I sent people to lurk around this person and Son Masayoshi for a long time, and I overheard a lot of things, and it is said that many people in the Central Plains were optimistic about Lin Jianyue, and he was young, thinking that he would become a great thing in the future. Because of this, it is not only the imperial court of Jianning that is afraid, but also the military feudal towns of all parties, all of whom are afraid that their status and power will not be guaranteed in the future. According to Sun Zhengyi and Wu Zhong, it's okay for everyone to live a miserable life together, but if you want to ride on my head, then everyone will not live their lives. ”

Qin Zhenghao sighed and said: "I'm not afraid to tell Your Majesty clearly, if it weren't for that, Xiao Chen might not be by Your Majesty's side now." ”

This is the reason why Qin Zhenghao must turn Li Chongshan's attention to this aspect, and specifically said that the Han people like infighting, and gave a seemingly very reasonable reason, but this kind of thing cannot withstand long-term scrutiny. In addition, Lin Jianyue and Son Zhengyi were indeed very well prepared.

Li Chongshan laughed and said: "That's not good, if it weren't for Master Qin, maybe I would still be north of the Yellow River now!" ”

Qin Zhenghao continued: "Even so, Your Majesty, through Shang Gui's matter, Xiao Chen feels that there are too many disadvantages in handing over the Dameng army to the Han people, and the core strength must be in his own hands." For the time being, we haven't fully recovered yet, believe it or not, and we'll talk about it later. Son Masayoshi can control the existing territory, or he can give him a name, but the Dameng cavalry is less than 50,000 and cannot enter these places casually, let alone give it to Son Zhengyi's command. In addition, if the logistics materials can be given, they will not be given, and now it is a bit too much to ask him to fight Lin Jianyue, and it will only really force him back. But order him to prove that he should conquer the Huaixi region, the area south of Huaishui, and the north of the Yangtze River within three or five years, and then even if it was a false surrender, it will become a real surrender. ”

Li Chongshan was overjoyed and said: "I'm worried about how to deal with this matter, or Master Qin is powerful, this method is good, it's really good, no matter what, we don't have any risk of loss." However, Master Qin is too ruthless, he doesn't even want to give things, this is not good, it is harmful to our reputation and future plans, and we still have to give it. ”

Qin Zhenghao also helped Lin Jianyue push by the way, and smashed the southern court earlier, so that things would be easier to handle in the future.
