In the evening, when Li Ke's room was listening to Zhu Tong's report, Li Ke snorted gently and said lightly, "Boling Cui Family, Langya Yan Family, are they brave? They dare to fight openly in the Bingzhou area, causing several casualties and injuries to guards!" When he said this, Li Ke asked Zhu Tong again, "How do Jinzhou Prefecture Domestic Domestic Docks want to deal with this matter?"

"When you go back to Your Highness, neither Cui Fang nor Yan Zhongqing reported the case. The government office may have to settle the matter!" Zhu Tong said guessingly.**(.com)

"You sent the Eagle Guard to collect favorable evidence. The Cui family and Yan family members came to Taiyuan. They have great ambitions and must have a purpose!" Li Ke ordered Zhu Tong, "Also, let Qisha start the action. As long as Changsun Wuji's spy appears, you don't need to report and just cut it down!"

"No" Zhu Tong's body trembled and he bowed to agree. In his eyes, His Highness the Northern King is no longer afraid of Changsun Wuji, and he will not give in to Changsun Wuji like before.

When Zhu Tong left, Xu Jingzong came to the house. He has been in charge of the cavalry's source of troops and money and food issues recently, and only today has the opportunity to report to Li Ke.

"Yan clan, everything is fine over you?" Li Ke wanted to Xu Jingzong and asked.

"Your Highness, the source of the 100,000 troops of the Black Flag Army has been resolved, and the source of the 5,000 troops of the Wolf Cavalry Camp has been selected, but the number of Ghost Face Riders is still not enough!" Xu Jingzong hesitated and continued, "The key is that the Ghost Face Rider's oath is too heavy, and few people go to Ghost Face Riders!"

"Oh" Li Ke sighed slightly, and he had no choice. He himself didn't know that Zheyu would think of that oath under the circumstances at that time, but the plot at that time was to encourage the morale of the army, and it was difficult for him to stop it. Therefore, the current Ghost Face Cavalry became a dead soldier cavalry, a dead soldier cavalry that truly bound a person's life.

"How bad is it?" Li Ke asked Xu Jingzong.

"The Ghost Face Rider will reach 20,000 people. Apart from the remaining one thousand people, plus the six thousand Turkic cavalry and the group of people recently recruited, there is a very small gap of about eight thousand people!" Xu Jingzong replied.

"Eight thousand people? Isn't it impossible!" Li Ke said to himself, looking at Xu Jingzong who was surprised in front of him. He said slowly, "I heard that my father has issued an order to amend the law. The new law will abolish some death penalty and cruel criminal laws. Therefore, most death row prisoners or serious criminals in the prefectures and counties may be released or reduced. As long as the new law is promulgated, you will go to the prefectures and counties in the Northern Prefectures to select these death row prisoners and serious criminals to facilitate the riding of ghost faces."

"Your Highness, is this OK?" Xu Jingzong asked. It is absolutely useless to make death row prisoners and serious prisoners easier for the army, but the restraint ability must be reduced. If these people are really allowed to escape occasionally, they may even kill people. Wouldn't this be a shame for the ghost-faced rider?

"Don't worry, Yan clan!" Li Ke seemed to know what Xu Jingzong was thinking, "I believe Zheyu will handle this problem well!"

When Li Ke mentioned Zheyu, he was full of confidence. He knew that the person who could think of the lifelong vow of the Ghost Face Rider was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I understand!" Xu Jingzong agreed.

"The Beifu Bank in Tonghuai has now started business. Although it has not yet gained the trust of the people and merchants, its future prospects are limitless. After you handle the military affairs at hand, you will take over!" Li Ke said to Xu Jingzong, "I hope you can handle him well after taking over the Beifu Bank!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never let you down!" Xu Jingzong replied firmly.

"Yeah!" Li Ke nodded. His current idea was to transfer Xu Jingzong from military affairs to government affairs. This was not to say that he did not believe Xu Jingzong, but for future needs.

Now, Li Ke feels that he is not afraid of Changsun Wuji, but if he wants to fight with Changsun Wuji, he is still one level away. This is just a matter of wisdom. Therefore, Li Ke's idea is to let Xu Jingzong be a pioneer and fight with Changsun Wuji. In history, wasn't Xu Jingzong fighting to die to Changsun Wuji? Li Ke does not believe in fate because he himself changed his fate, but he still thinks that Xu Jingzong is Changsun Wuji's nemesis.

"Yan clan, please help me analyze it. The Cui clan of Boling and Yan clan of Langya sent their families to Taiyuan. Is it really just that their family members came to study in Han Academy?" Li Ke asked Xu Jingzong. He always felt that the wealthy families of the Cui clan and Yan clan were not very close to him, so there was no need for them to do this. In Li Ke's opinion, there was no reason to support him.

"Your Highness, I believe that Boling belongs to the rule of Bingzhou, and the Boling Cui family may not dare to oppose Your Highness. There must be one person behind them, and it may not be just one person, but a force that supports it! Your Highness is the chief of Bingzhou, and the governor of Bingzhou is also his Highness. This is the entire Bingzhou, which is the fief of Your Highness. Now Your Highness serves as the chief general of the Northern Mansion. He has great power. The wealthy families in Longxi in Taiyuan have already joined Your Highness. What about families like Boling Cui family? Do they also want to find a big tree to rely on?" Xu Jingzong analyzed, "So, they came to Taiyuan this time, and they are mostly testing. They want to test Your Highness's attitude, because they are still hesitant!"

"Yeah!" Li Ke nodded and responded. He thought Xu Jingzong's analysis was very reasonable, especially after he developed business in Bingzhou and formed an indestructible alliance with the wealthy families in Longxi, the Boling Cui felt a sense of crisis. Therefore, the Boling Cui family looked for a foreign aid and a big tree that they could rely on.

Li Ke understood this and briefly told Xu Jingzong that Zhu Tong had given him the incident of Cui Fang and Yan Zhongqing who had been born in Jinzhou to Taiyuan official roads and instigating guards to gather together to fight.

After hearing Li Ke's words, Xu Jingzong smiled faintly, "Your Highness, if the Wei-Chief guessed well, now as long as we announce that we will punish Cui Fang and Yan Zhongqing, there will definitely be someone in the court to speak up for them! The Yan family belongs to the Shandong gentry, and the relationship between the Shandong gentry and Changsun Wuji is very ambiguous. No matter how their relationship is now, if the Shandong gentry chooses the object they support, their first choice is the crown prince."

"The Yan clan continues!" Li Ke's face showed a solemn expression.

"Your Highness, the current form is already very obvious. The Longxi gentry has fully supported you, and the Jiangnan genius group has begun to move closer to the Eastern King Li Tai. Then the only choices of the Shandong genius are Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji." Xu Jingzong said word by word.

Li Ke knew very well that Ning** would not be a phoenix tail, and the same was true for Shandong gentry. They did not want to be a phoenix tail. Especially after the Longxi gentry supported them, would Shandong gentry support themselves? That was impossible. Shandong gentry and Longxi gentry have always been hostile, just like the Longxi nobles who supported Li Shimin and Shandong gentry who supported Li Jiancheng. This is not a question of whether the power is not powerful, but a question of the honor of the gentry, and a matter of principle. But deep down, it has been said that the feud between the Longxi gentry and the Shandong gentry has formed.

"Hmph! OK! Very good!" Li Ke already knew the purpose of the Boling Cui clan and the Langya Yan clan. "What does the Yan clan mean? What should I do?"

Li Ke meant how to deal with Cui Fang and Yan Zhongqing in Taiyuan! Because if you deal with these two people, how to deal with the Boling Cui family, and how to determine the relationship between you and the Shandong gentry.

Li Ke knew very well that he had withdrawn from the center now. Li Chengqian and Li Tai from Chang'an City are fighting each other. If they want to make both of them suffer, the only way is to keep their power equal. Now, Li Ke has unified the Jiangnan Literary Group with the support of Wang Gui and Cen Wenben. His power is unprecedentedly huge. Li Chengqian now has the support of the gentry from Shandong, and he will not be at a disadvantage if he wants to fight with Li Tai.

"Your Highness, I have three plans and I'll ask you to make a decision!" Xu Jingzong said confidently.

"Please say it!" Li Ke said.

"First, treat guests to dinner; second, kill and show public order to serve as a warning; second, accept them as a dog." Xu Jingzong said word by word.

"Treat, behead, accept it as a dog?" Li Ke repeated, "How should we deal with these three plans specifically?"

"When treating a guest, just calm down the matter and maintain the current relationship with the Boling Cui family and the Shandong gentry, and do not invade each other. Killing means killing the mess quickly. Before someone in the court reacts to plead for mercy, he kills two people in one fell swoop to serve as a warning to you and tell Boling Cui family and the Shandong gentry that we should not provoke you easily. Will you accept it as a dog? Your Highness will inevitably do some dirty and tiring work in the future, so that they can come forward to solve it!" Xu Jingzong analyzed the three plans to Li Ke one by one.
