Chapter 320: The situation in the Central Plains

"Persist in surrender?" Li Qing smiled without comment. "If the leader Sushun is willing, Li Qing will be unsuccessful." Sushun shook his head, "Bayar is arrogant and would rather die in battle than surrender. However, Li Dashun made the mistake in his plan!"

Li Qing laughed, "Captain Sushun, Bayar is arrogant and arrogant, but he is also an extremely rational person. Let's wait and see. In a few days, our soldiers will approach Bayara's main city. In the past few days, you will stay in my camp with peace of mind. At that time, I will ask you to see Bayar. As for whether you are persuading to surrender, hehe, I will know at that time!"

Li Qing served tea to see him off. Tang Hu led Su out of the tent and handed it over to the guards guarding him. He turned to Mingyan, who was waiting outside the tent and said, "Director Mingyan, please invite him!" Mingyan is the director of the Dingzhou Military Information Investigation Department. The establishment of this department began with the spoils that Shang Haibo and Qingfeng fought for. In order to limit Qingfeng's growing power, Li Qing separated the military information investigation from the Statistical Investigation Department and formed the Military Information Investigation Department, and took over the leadership of Mingyan, who had made a special honor in the second battlefield of the Western Front.

"Thank you, General Tang!" Mingyan put on her skirt and bowed to Tang Hu. She was not Qingfeng. She always called Tang Hu as Hu Zi, and sometimes even laughed at him as a bullshit. Tang Hu's status in Dingzhou is quite special.

"Mingyan, thank you for your hard work!" Li Qing smiled and took Mingyan's greeting, waved his hand to sit down. Looking at the beautiful and charming woman in front of him, he suddenly became a little strange. The leaders of the two major spy agencies under him were all women, which was very alternative. Excluding the ability of these two people is indeed particularly outstanding, it is very likely that his subconscious is causing trouble. The spy agencies have always been full of gloomy mysterious feelings in people's reflections. Maybe he thinks that putting two beautiful women in it may dilute the atmosphere a little.

"Why did you personally escort Sushun over this time?" Li Qing asked.

Mingyan sat on the chair side and bowed slightly and said, "Mingyan is here, and escorting Sushun is just a way to do it, but in fact there is something else to report to the Grand Marshal."

"Oh?" Li Qing said: "Mr. Shang specially wants you to come?" Mingyan's Military Information Investigation Department belongs to Shang Haibo's military office, so Li Qing asked this question.

"Yes!" Ming Yan said.

"First, the matters related to the situation in the Central Plains and our occupation of Qixia Pass. The second is the internal affairs of the Military Information Investigation Department."

"Well, you can talk about the first thing first!" Li Qing took a sip of tea. Since Shang Haibo sent Mingyan to come here in person, things are naturally very important.

"It has been confirmed that the Southern King Ning must rebel. It is very likely that it was around May. After a period of tranquility, the war broke out again. The war broke out again in Gaizhou and Qingzhou. Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei's army swept across the two states. The imperial army of the two states has been swept away, and local forces have been uprooted. These two states have now gathered nearly 100,000 rebels." Ming Yan said.

Dingzhou had long suspected that Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei had defected to King Ning, and the person who commanded the rebels now was likely to be the officers under King Ning. A few years ago, these states had inexplicably fallen into peace, and now they suddenly broke out, further confirming this.

"The situation between the Military Information Investigation Department and the Statistical Investigation Department has been confirmed to be confirmed to have gathered a large number of grassroots officers in the Ning Wang army under Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei. In addition, the one who actually commanded this army to fight was Zuo Yousheng, a general under Ning Wang, who was the one who actually commanded the army to fight." Ming Yan said.

"The picture is revealed, and King Ning is too lazy to even cover up the most basic thing, which means he is really going to do it right away. What about Qu Yongjie from Xingzhou?" Li Qing asked.

Mingyan shook his head, "After Qu Yongjie arrived in the south, he barely gathered about 50,000 troops. Later, he retreated to Xingzhou, with Xingzhou Prefecture as the center, eliminated the weak and retained the elite, and retained an elite of about 30,000 people. Because of his close relationship with Emperor Tianqi at that time, the equipment of this army was very good, but it could only barely maintain the situation in Xingzhou. Moreover, now, the Ningwang army did not gather in Xingzhou, and Qu Yongjie did not intend to march into these two states. His attitude was ambiguous, and Mr. Shang was worried.

Qu Yongjie will also turn to King Ning. After all, Qu Yongjie has a close relationship with Emperor Tianqi, and Tianqi died inexplicably. Qu Yongjie must have doubts in his heart. King Ning is very attractive to Qu Yongjie under the banner of clearing the king, killing slander ministers, and avenging the late emperor. If Qu Yongjie's Xingzhou completely turns to King Ning, the territory under King Ning's direct control will have four states, and these four states were originally rich places. They only need to manage them for several years to support hundreds of thousands of elite troops and use them. Mr. Shang was worried about this."

Li Qing nodded, "Mr. Shang's worries make sense. Ning Wang has been operating for decades, accumulated over decades, and has been experiencing a lot. The energy is indeed amazing."

"Now King Ning and the court are trying their best to win over Qu Yongjie. Just a few days before I set out, Qu Yongjie was granted a title of vassal and promised that Qu Yongjie could expand his army to 50,000 to 100,000 people, and all the military expenses required will be borne by the court. Xiao Haoran has invested a lot of money!" Ming Yan said.

Li Qing said: "Just just need to stabilize Qu Yongjie, Xingzhou can restrain the nearly 100,000 troops of King Ning. Of course, Xiao Haoran has to invest a lot of money. Moreover, he promised to expand Qu Yongjie's army, which seems to be kind, so that Qu Yongjie can quickly rise to become a new generation of powerful forces, but he really has no good intentions! The army spends money, which is like flowing water. Qu Yongjie's large-scale expansion of the army, and the military funds required are not affordable by Xingzhou, which is now being beaten to chaos. King Ning cannot spend a lot of money to support an army that he cannot fully control. If Qu Yongjie wants to maintain the combat effectiveness of this army, he can only rely on the Xiao family. With a little silver, he can produce such a good effect. Xiao Haoran is indeed extremely experienced!" Li Qing was amazed and deeply impressed by Xiao Haoran's stubbornness.

Mingyan smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal is indeed powerful. Mr. Shang said that as well. He said that in this way, Xiao can temporarily stabilize Qu Yongjie, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future. After all, once Xingzhou recovers, it is still more than enough to raise an army of 100,000 people."

"Where is the East and the North?" Li Qing asked.

"The Northern Lu Family Group is paying attention to the Eastern Zeng Family Group. The Lu Family's military strength is stronger than the Zeng Family. However, although the Zeng Army is relatively poor, the navy is extremely strong. With the geographical conditions of the crisscrossing rivers in the East, once these two families start fighting, they may not be able to decide the winner in a short period of time!" Ming Yan said.

Li Qing showed a bitter smile on his face, "The troubled times are coming, and demons are dancing! King Ning sharpened his sword in the heart of the Central Plains, but the Lu family also coveted the wealth of the East and wanted to take it into their pockets. The battle will bring disaster to life. It is really a prosperous situation. The people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer!"

Mingyan looked at Li Qing in surprise. In her image, soldiers like Li Qing would never pity the people. On the battlefield, they were the stage for them to fully display their talents, and the most effective shortcut to obtain the best interests. And what Dingzhou did now is all for preparing for the future march into the Central Plains. Why did the Grand Marshal react so much?

Li Qing saw Mingyan's reaction in his eyes, knew her inner thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Mingyan, my combat may not be different from these people in form, but it is the biggest difference in essence. I fight for the sake of my descendants not fighting again. What I want to do is to unify the world, seek the happiness of the people, and create peace for all generations."

Mingyan's body shook, and she stood up and bowed to Li Qing, "Mingyan misunderstood the Grand Marshal. Please forgive Mingyan's rudeness."

Li Qing laughed, "I know that I am in my heart. I just want to have a clear conscience in my life. I am afraid that in the eyes of the world, I am no different from them, but what does it have to do with a temporary misunderstanding? Perhaps my actions will not be finalized until I die. Why is Mingyan guilty? Just let's not discuss this issue, but you say that after we occupied Qixia Pass, was Wu Zecheng furious?"

Mingyan smiled, "The general was so accurate that he guessed it. Not only Wu Zecheng was furious, but even Xiao Haoran was shocked. It took a month to travel from Luoyang to Bingzhou. Wu Zecheng rushed back in half a month. As soon as he came back, he negotiated with me Dingzhou righteously and asked us to withdraw from Qixia Pass. But in the words of the military advisor, how could he spit out the meat in his mouth? Lu Zhizhou has been plaguing lawsuits with them for a while. Anyway, it is because the husband said that the mother is right, and the mother said that the mother is right. Qixia is right in our hands. What can they do to me?"

"Oh!" Li Qing said with interest: "Did Wu Zecheng not do anything military action?"

"He mobilized tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops in Changfeng County, nearest Qixia Pass, and threatened that if we did not withdraw from Qixia Pass, we would seize it by force. But after we occupied Qixia Pass, we transferred all Panshi Camp here. General Li Feng's Yizhou Camp also left half of the cavalry, and nearly 10,000 troops guarded Qixia Pass. With the steepness of Qixia Pass and the weakness of Bingzhou Army, it would be strange if we dared to start a war, but it was just a big cry!"

"Where is Xiao Haoran?"

"Xiao Haoran is now all his energy is focused on preparing to deal with Ning Wang's massive attack. He has time to take care of this matter. He just sent us a document, which was not painful or itchy. Military Secretary Shang was too lazy to respond."

Li Qing laughed loudly. He grasped the opportunity to seize Qixia Pass very well. Now, except for Wu Zecheng, the rest of the forces in all parties have no time to deal with it. I am afraid that King Ning is still hoping for this? Thinking of this, Li Qing suddenly felt a slump in his heart. Did King Ning think of this ending when he was planning this matter? If this is true, then King Ning's scheming would be too terrible. At least he occupied Qixia Pass and restrained Wu Zecheng's tens of thousands of troops. You must know that Wu Zecheng is an ally of Xiao Haoran!

"Oh, there is another thing. After Li Shanbin was caught by Wu Zecheng's subordinates in Bingzhou, he was rescued by Zhong Ziqi before he could escort to Wu Zecheng. After Li Shanbin escaped, he made public statements, saying that what he did was completely instructed by Wu Zecheng. Now that things are not in harmony, he wants to kill him to silence him. Wu Zecheng was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas entering the earth."

"This time Wu Zecheng fell into his pants, either shit or shit!" Li Qing smiled.

Mingyan's face turned slightly red, and Li Qing realized that he was so rude in front of the girl.
