The victory in the Battle of Zhenjiang gave Mao Wenlong a lot of confidence, especially his promotion from the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town to the chief military officer of Pingliao Town, which made Mao Wenlong very high-spirited and couldn't wait to start planning the next move.

Li Yuanqing understood Mao Wenlong's mood very well and was willing to help Mao Wenlong to the greatest extent, especially when the old slave was about to beat Lin Danhan violently.

After leaving the palace, the three of them went straight to Wuyu Pavilion without stopping too much.

With Li Yuanqing's relationship, the three of them no longer have to go to the Ministry of War to go through the procedures. A few of Eunuch An's close confidants, the eunuchs, will naturally handle the personal matters, documents and other sundries properly.

According to the power of the three of them at this time, even Yuanwailang from the Ministry of War would not dare to make things difficult for the three of them. However, Li Yuanqing would not rely on himself. He had already prepared the money for the members of the Ministry of War.

These portions of money will be delivered to those in need one by one.

Of course, Li Yuanqing paid for this money himself.

Although Chen Zhong was a bit cautious about this, with Mao Wenlong's shrewdness, how could he not see Li Yuanqing's painstaking efforts?

After arriving and sitting down in the most luxurious Tianzihao private room in Wuyu Pavilion, Mao Wenlong smiled and filled a glass of wine for Li Yuanqing himself, "Yuanqing, thank you for your hard work today."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly took the wine glass respectfully and said with a smile: "Commander, we are all members of our own family. If you say this, you are treating Yuan Qing as an outsider."

Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing, and patted Li Yuanqing's shoulder heavily, "Yuan Qing, Chen Zhong, I, Mao Wenlong, am so lucky to have helpers like you!"

Li Yuanqing is here in person, how dare Wuyu Pavilion be negligent in this aspect? Why not increase the power quickly?

Soon, all kinds of exquisite dishes were served like an assembly line, and the wine was not too hidden, it was the best Liaonan Laojiao.

Li Yuanqing, Mao Wenlong, and Chen Zhong got up very early today and were already hungry.

Just as Mao Wenlong said, why is there an outsider among the three of them? Soon there was a whirlwind.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone’s stomachs were almost full of delicious food.

Mao Wenlong smiled and looked at Li Yuanqing and said: "Yuanqing, what are your plans for this year? Chen Zhong, don't even think about running away, think about it carefully."

Chen Zhong chuckled and scratched the back of his head innocently, "Commander, just let Yuan Qing come up with a solution for this kind of thing. My brain is not easy to use."

Mao Wenlong smiled and shook his head, "You, you."

But Mao Wenlong suddenly understood why Chen Zhong was able to become the chief military officer of Guanglu Island and the general of the auxiliary country in such a short period of time, and walked an almost unimaginable path.

With Chen Zhong's temperament and his fatal friendship with Li Yuanqing, if Li Yuanqing didn't pull him, who would he pull?

Li Yuanqing stood up with a smile, personally filled a glass of wine for Mao Wenlong, and another for Chen Zhong. Finally, he looked at Mao Wenlong with a smile and said: "Commander, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the old slave will attack Mongolia."

Eight to nine are inseparable. This is also an opportunity for us. However, as for Changsheng Island, because of these Zhenjiang immigrants, it may be difficult for the humble position to make any big moves. I am afraid that we can only use Jin Fuyi to make a fuss.

"

Mao Wenlong took a sip of wine and nodded slowly.

Although the Hou Jin Dynasty has gained great momentum in recent years, in fact, they have not taken much advantage in either southern Liaoning or eastern Liaoning. It can almost be said that they have lost consecutive battles.

Although according to the strength of the Ming Army, it is impossible to cause too much substantial damage to them, but a few bruises and some blood are unavoidable.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty had thousands of miles of rivers and mountains as its support and tens of millions of people as its support. Unsuccessful wars would directly affect their national destiny.

Especially the various tribal forces that vassal them.

There is no benefit to be gained from going to war, and you can barely accept it once or twice, but if you go to war too many times and you are defeated again and again, no one is a fool.

Abandoning Zhenjiang and raising the butcher's knife towards the Mongolian tribes in the west was probably the last choice made by the old slave out of desperation.

This gave Ming an opportunity, especially Dongjiang.

Because of the terrain concerns and the fact that Zhenjiang has been abandoned, Mao Wenlong and the main force of Dongjiang Headquarters have had the opportunity to face Houjin's home base - Laozhai.

After thinking for a long time, Mao Wenlong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at Li Yuanqing and said: "Yuanqing, after returning to Dongjiang, I am going to face the old village!"

Li Yuanqing had long expected this result. If Mao Wenlong could let go of such a good opportunity, then he would no longer be Mao Wenlong.

"Commander, when are you going to take action?"

"hehe."

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "As early as mid-March, as late as early April. This time, I will never let Houjin have such a smooth spring plowing."

Liao land is different from Guan Nei. Due to the geographical advantage, spring plowing usually starts later, in late March or early April, after the ice and snow melt.

Although Mao Wenlong seized this opportunity a little eagerly, the main force of the Dongjiang headquarters was sitting on the victory in Zhenjiang. It was a time of high spirits and high morale. Coupled with Mao Wenlong's influence, this matter should not be a serious problem.

Although the core of Hou Jin's power has mostly been transferred to Shenyang and Liaoyang, Laozhai's influence on it cannot be underestimated.

According to Mr. Jin Yong, it was the "Dragon Vein" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the land of Longxing in Aixinjueluo.

If Mao Wenlong can successfully break through the old village, then~~~.

Needless to say, Li Yuanqing also knew it, and it must be a unique feat that could even push Mao Wenlong to the altar.

However, Hou Jin was not a fool. From Kuandian to Laozhai, there would definitely be heavy troops left behind. It was obviously not easy for Mao Wenlong to do this.

"Commander, what kind of support does the headquarters need from the humble position?" Li Yuanqing looked into Mao Wenlong's eyes and asked.

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "Yuanqing, support is not necessary for the time being. With the harvest from Zhenjiang, our headquarters has sufficient food, grass, and soldiers, which is enough to cope with this raid. However, I hope that if the situation changes, you can send troops to Liaoning."

South, force towards Gaizhou and Haizhou, pretend to attack Shenyang and Liaoyang, and buy time for the main force to retreat."

This is also what Mao Wenlong admires most about Li Yuanqing.

There is no need to waste much effort when talking to Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing can always point out the core issues in advance.

It's hard to feel unhappy when talking to someone like Li Yuanqing.

As the saying goes, 'Look at one spot and you will see the whole leopard'.

It is not difficult for people to understand that Li Yuanqing was able to reach this position at such a young age.

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Commander, this is a humble duty. It's just that the distance between us is too far, so communication will inevitably be difficult. If something happens, it will be difficult for us to maintain a complete relationship. Commander, in this way

, you'd better give Beizhi a similar amount of time. Once this date comes, Beizhi will directly send troops to Liaonan!"

Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded. He originally planned to discuss this matter in detail after Li Yuanqing agreed, but unexpectedly, Li Yuanqing told him in advance.

"Yuan Qing, I estimate that Lao Nu will probably have to personally conquer Mongolia this time when Hou Jin conquers Mongolia. As for Liaodong, although I am anxious about this matter, I will not rush into it. The main force of our headquarters will at least rest in the Kuandian Mountains for one to two months.

, In this way, you can send troops as soon as possible at the end of May or the beginning of June!"

…………

The meal lasted from morning to evening, and in the end, all three of them were extremely drunk.

When Li Yuanqing woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Yang Jiao's mother was embroidering something in the warm sunshine in front of the window, but Sanlang was lying on the bed like a little monkey, pulling Li Yuanqing's hair hard with his little hands.

It was this boy's actions that woke Li Yuanqing from his sleep.

"Little guy, let's see where you are going?" Li Yuanqing laughed and held Sanlang in his arms.

Sanlang didn't expect that his father would wake up suddenly. He was startled and burst into tears.

Yang Jiao's mother hurriedly put down her sewing work, ran over quickly, and called Sanlang over, "Yuan Qing, look, why are you so anxious? Sanlang is still a child. Be good, don't cry, mother."

Here it is.”

Seeing Yang Jiao's mother unbuttoning her plump breasts to breastfeed Sanlang, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless.

Come on. Good intentions but half bad things.

After Li Yuanqing was depressed for a while, Sanlang was coaxed by Yang Jiao's mother and fell asleep in his mother's arms.

Yang Jiao's mother hurriedly asked the nanny in a low voice to take the boy to his room next door to rest. Shi Shiran came to Li Yuanqing's side and said with a smile: "What? Are you angry?"

"Angry? How could I be angry with my son?"

Li Yuanqing glanced at Yang Jiao's mother with dissatisfaction, "Am I so stingy?"

Yang Jiao couldn't help but smile, "Okay. I know you are the most magnanimous person. I can't I apologize to you for Sanlang?"

Li Yuanqing was naked and pulled Yang Jiaoniang close to him with a smile, "Then why don't you serve me well?"

Yang Jiao gave Li Yuanqing a rollicking look, but her plump body gently lay under Li Yuanqing...

…………

After finishing the 'morning exercise' and having a comfortable lunch, a turtle slave came to report, 'Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong have left the capital one after another.'

Looking at Yang Jiao~mother's eyes that were about to be heartbroken, Li Yuanqing could only cheer up and said: "Jiao~mother, it's the end of the year. At the end of the year at the latest. I will definitely take you back to Changsheng Island and use the most beautiful scenery to

Way."

Yang Jiao~ Mother's eyes could no longer hold back the tears, "Yuan Qing, I don't want it. As long as you can remember us two, we will be satisfied."

Li Yuanqing was speechless for a moment.

After a long silence, he suddenly smiled and held Yang Jiao's little hand tightly, "Jiao~ mother, our hard days are over. I will arrange this matter immediately after I return."

…………

Although there are many things going on in the capital, Li Yuanqing is very relieved that Yang Jiao is in charge.

At this time, his most important matter is Changsheng Island itself. Only when the affairs of Changsheng Island are stable can it be his most solid foundation.

In the tears of Yang Jiao's mother's reluctance, Li Yuanqing embarked on the return journey in the evening.

However, both Sun Chengzong and Man Gui helped Li Yuanqing a lot in this incident, and Li Yuanqing wanted to express his gratitude. Instead of returning to Changsheng Island, he went straight to western Liaoning by land.

As for the fleet anchored at Dagukou, some soldiers have rushed to inform them that they will rush to western Liaoning by sea.

Although there was a shortage of war horses on Changsheng Island at this time, Li Yuanqing's status at this time still required pomp and ceremony when he went out to do business.

More than two hundred people on war horses headed straight to the north like the wind.

On the one hand, this trip to western Liaoning was due to the favor between Sun Chengzong and Man Gui. On the other hand, the promotion of Liaonan Laojiao was also a top priority.

Given the current situation in western Liaoning, this will be an important source of income for Li Yuanqing.

Of course, there is another issue that is obscure, cannot be stated directly, but is crucial - Li Yuanqing must interview Man Gui.
