However, for such a situation, most of the shopkeepers of Qinglou have complaints in their hearts.

But such complaints only dare to be in their hearts, and no one dares to express the complaints in their hearts.

And Liu Qiang was also because of the closure of the Qinglou, and he couldn't find the location of the third aunt for a while.

Because the location of each Qinglou of the third aunt was not informed to Qin He.

One is for their own safety.

The second is to prevent someone from intercepting the news in the middle and learning their specific location and ending their Qinglou.

Liu Qiang didn't know where the specific location of the Qinglou opened by Sangu was.

In this way, it is naturally extremely difficult to find the third aunt.

This toss is the work of several days.

In the end, it was because I heard the news about the woman in the Western Regions in the city that I learned the specific location of the third aunt.

By the time I found the third aunt, ten days had passed.

And in this short period of ten days, the entire Yanyu Province can be said to have changed greatly.

Now the yamen of the state capitals in the Yanyu Province are all cooperating with the southbound army to carry out strict inspections.

Once it is found that it is related to the anti-thieves in Qinghe Prefecture, it will be dealt with as soon as possible.

In such a tight wind, I was also very excited to see Liu Qiang's third aunt again.

And now Liu Qiang, after seeing the third aunt, couldn't help but let go of his hanging heart.

After all, the third aunt is fine now, and nothing happened.

Right now, the most important thing is to bring Sangu back to Qinghe Prefecture from this rainy province.

If you want to return to Qinghe Prefecture, it is definitely not an easy thing for the current situation.

It can even be said that judging from the current situation, it is definitely difficult to return to Qinghe Prefecture smoothly.

After all, the intensity of inspections and interrogations is no longer the same as when Liu Qiang came before.

I don't know how many times stricter.

Liu Qiang almost had a problem before this, let alone now.

Because of this, Liu Qiang has no bottom in his heart about returning to Qinghe Prefecture now.

The good thing is. Brother Qin didn't ask when he would go back.

At the same time, they also informed Liu Qiang that they put their own safety first.

So Liu Qiang is not in a hurry.

At present, they had a good discussion with the third aunt, and in the end the two decided to wait for the current limelight to pass.

They didn't dare to risk the current situation to go back, after all, no one knew if there would be any mistakes.

It's just that in this case, they won't be able to spread the news from here to Brother Qin'er.

However, even if you don't send the news back now, it's not really a big deal.

After all, the southbound army has already arrived in Yanyu Province, and at the same time, a series of moves have been made.

If you want to come to Brother Qin'er, you already know.

So the news they know now, even if it doesn't come back, it won't have any impact.

On the contrary, for them, their own safety is now the most important thing.

Qinghe Prefecture, Dongqin Island.

In the month since Liu Qiang left, Qin He naturally learned about the current situation in Yanyu Province through various sources.

Seeing that the situation in Yanyu Province was getting more and more tense, Liu Qiang and the others wanted to return, which was obviously not so easy.

Now Qin He is not worried about Liu Qiang's safety over there, after all, it should not be a big problem for Liu Qiang to ensure his own safety.

What really makes Qin He feel a headache is the arrival of the southbound army now.

On this matter, Qin He summoned a group of generals to discuss.

Many of them suggested that the formation should be reduced for now, and all defensive preparations should be made first.

Such a proposal was quickly and outright rejected.

And the person who rejected such a proposal was none other than Bi Hanlin.

The reason for rejecting such a proposal is that Bi Hanlin also gave a detailed explanation.

If you directly shrink the defensive formation in all aspects at this time, it means that you take the initiative to hand over the initiative.

In this way, they will fall into passive combat on the entire battlefield.

This is absolutely unfavorable for the whole situation.

Seeing that Bi Hanlin had rejected such a proposal, no one continued to say anything more on this issue for a while.

And then the question that everyone discussed began to become how to consolidate the current advantages.

Now there are only two places occupied by Qinhe, one is the province where Qinghe Prefecture is located today, and the other is Nanyang Prefecture.

Taken together, the two places are actually quite small.

If you want to surround them from all sides, you will waste a lot of troops.

For such a situation, Bi Hanlin did not feel that there was no such possibility.

Because the other party does not have so many troops to encircle and suppress them, and in the same way, they do not have so many troops to defend the Qin River.

Of course, their only advantage is the ability to place eyeliner everywhere.

As soon as something happens, you can report it as soon as possible.

Of course, this advantage is not huge.

After all, the territory they occupy now is not small, and it is definitely not so easy to mobilize troops in a short period of time.

So there are a lot of problems in front of them today, and it's almost impossible to really solve them.

In the end, Bi Hanlin made a decision that surprised everyone present.

The defense can only be beaten passively, and it is better to take the initiative than to do so.

They don't need to defend Qinghe Prefecture to the death, on the contrary, they have to take the initiative to attack it.

Qin He agreed with Bi Hanlin's strategy.

After all, the best defense is offense.

The only thing that needs to be ensured is that your own rear must not be stolen.

This also means that now they only need to take care of two ends of Qinhe.

One of them is the part of the attack.

The second is to guard his own half of the rear, which is also part of his own retreat.

The arrangement of the two parts of the force also needs to be considered.

Qin He naturally did not participate in this issue, and it was all negotiated by Bi Hanlin and the rest of the generals.

In this way, after about half a day, Bi Hanlin and the others finally discussed the result.

Now Qin He has a total of more than 70,000 troops.

40,000 troops were allocated to attack, and a total of 30,000 were left behind in Qinghe Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture.

Among them, 10,000 water divisions led by Li Yang cooperated with 10,000 militia to garrison Qinghe Prefecture.

The remaining 20,000 people went to Nanyang Prefecture.

However, the Namyang Prefecture side is not just stationed, but also needs to continue to expand to the southwest.

It also means that they are bound to take the south-east province as a large rear.

Of course, it is not without reason that these 20,000 people dared to carry out such a risky operation.

After all, this south-eastern province is already remote, and its own troops are insufficient, and the strength of 10,000 people is enough to try to take it.
