Chapter 413: Two lines move in unison (2)
Returning from Luzhou, Li Qing and Shang Haibo appeared in Tonglu, where the border between Fuzhou border and Quanzhou, and the mountain-moving division, which crossed the mountain wind, was stationed on the nearly 300-mile border between Tonglu County and Quanzhou.
In an ordinary courtyard, the mountain wind of Dingzhou generals welcomed Li Qing and Shang Haibo. The mountain wind was originally a bandit. Since following Li Qing, he has studied and learned military techniques and experienced large-scale wars. He has long transformed from a bandit with a break-out character into a calm-minded general. Years of war experience have gradually shown his military talent, becoming a general who is very favored by Li Qing in Dingzhou who can stand alone. He relied on him more than Wang Qienian and Jiang Kui who followed him first. The mountain wind did live up to expectations, and he annexed Fuzhou, opened up the battlefield of the Western Front of the Plain Barbarians, and made great achievements in the eastern and western battles. Now the qualifications and prestige of the mountain wind in the Dingzhou army are close to Lu Dalin. Due to well-known reasons, the mountain wind is more valued under Li Qing's tent.
When he learned that the Marshal and Mr. Shang were coming together, Kushanfeng immediately understood that Dingzhou's strategy had undergone major changes.
The Siheyuan was surrounded by the personal soldiers of the Shanfeng and Li Qing's guards. The guard was so tight that even a mosquito could rarely fly in. In the room in the courtyard, Shanfeng had just heard Shang Haibo's introduction to the situation.
"This, this is too irritating!" Guoshan stared at Shang Haibo with big eyes in disbelief, "Which old man from Tianqi is playing with that?"
Li Qing's face was heavy, "We don't know what he played. We just need to understand where we are in this big game of chess and how much benefits can we get?"
"Is this matter confirmed?" asked Guoshanfeng.
"Director Qingfeng is verified from many sources, and it is almost almost the same as the director Qingfeng is returning from Luoyang. It is expected that he will come back in the next few days. She will also come here to report the latest situation to the general." Shang Haibo said.
The wind of Kushan stood up and sneered: "Why should the great general worry? No matter what tricks others want to play, in front of our unparalleled army in Dingzhou, everything is a cloud. You have a thousand plans, and I have an old idea to defeat you and destroy you. In the end, the one who survives will always be the winner."
Li Qing laughed at the words of Kushanfeng and felt much better. He patted Kushanfeng on the shoulder, "You said it well. In the face of a powerful army, everything is floating clouds, but I have deeper considerations."
"If we expected it well, from March to May, at the latest, it will be June. This battle will come to an end temporarily. King Ning was defeated and retreated to his nest. Xiao Hao was then stabbed in the back, and the fate was even worse. Qu Yongjie in Xingzhou rose up, and the Central Plains became more chaotic. No one had the absolute strength to destroy the opponent. At this time, we were even more prominent!"
"Let's take a look at the map!" Li Qing pointed to the military map on the wall and said, "If we take down the Lu family and annex the Zeng family, the territory will be from west to east, and the entire Central Plains will be included in it. The strength will be above any force in the Central Plains."
Kushanfeng nodded, "This is a good thing, but also a bad thing!"
"Yes, you can think of these things in this moment, which proves that you have indeed made great progress over the years!" Li Qing glanced at him with appreciation.
"I'll pay homage to the commander's teachings!" Kushanfeng clasped his fists and said.
Li Qing smiled and shook his head, "Master introduced him to the door, and his practice is personal. Mr. Shang, please continue to talk!"
Shang Haibo nodded: "The great general's strength is above any force in the Central Plains. The greatest possibility is and the worst possibility. These forces suddenly abandon past grudges, form an alliance, and unite to deal with us."
"We have just taken over the north and annexed the east. It takes time to digest and integrate these places. The huge territory under our rule will consume most of our energy. The Lu family and Zeng family have a deep roots and the foundation of ruling for hundreds of years cannot be completely erased in a short period of time. It can be imagined that these places will fall into chaos for a long time, with bandits everywhere, and people living in poverty. The period of integration of these places will become the most dangerous moment in Dingzhou."
Li Qing took over the conversation, "It was difficult for these forces to unite completely without any explanation. We could take advantage of the conflicts between them and fight and separate, but now there is a big problem, that is, the existence of Emperor Apocalypse. If he is not dead, he will have the ability to effectively combine these forces and form a major threat to us."
"The Grand Marshal said it is right. He integrates the heavily hit wealthy families in the Central Plains and starts a war with our Dingzhou. He further weakens the power of the gentry and family in the war. Make a bold assumption that if our Dingzhou is defeated, then whether it is the Southern Army, the Xiao family, or other aristocratic families, their strength will be consumed. In the end, the earth is really white and clean. At this level, Emperor Tianqi's intention will be achieved. He will use this war to clean up the gentry and family that threaten the royal family of the Great Chu. He calmly cleans up the old mountains and rivers and revive the great style of the Great Chu."
The mountain wind took a breath, "What a great courage, such a crazy plan. I don't know if he had thought about it. Once it failed, Da Chu would never have a day to turn over and would fall forever."
"Geniuses are all crazy, and madmen don't care about the consequences. Apocalypse is already crazy!" Li Qing sighed.
"Then how do we deal with it?" Kushanfeng looked at Li Qing.
"The plan to seize the north and annex the east remains unchanged." Li Qing said decisively, "But there is a completely opposite plan here."
"The general wants to fight on two fronts?" Fengshan Fengdao.
"Yes, the situation in the Central Plains is about to become chaotic. Whether this huge plan can effectively curb the part of our Dingzhou is up to you," said Li Qing.
The eyes of Kushanfeng gradually became solemn.
"King Ning was defeated and Xiao's family fell. During this period, the Central Plains would fall into a short power vacuum. Qu Yongjie could not control such a large territory for a while. I want you to seize the opportunity, send troops to Quanzhou, and swallow Quanzhou in one bite. At the same time, I will ask the Li army in Yizhou to enter Jinzhou and swallow Jinzhou in one bite. In this way, Yi, Jin, Quan, and the generals will be connected together."
Li Qing's hand drifted across the map. "Cross-crossing wind, what do you think our territory looks like if you do this?"
"Like an axe!" The mountain wind blurted out.
"Yes, it's just an axe!" Li Qing turned around and his eyes were bright. "Using Yizhou and Jinzhou as the axe blade, Dingzhou Fuzhou and Bingzhou as the axe back, and the north and east regions as the axe handle, we can chop hard towards the Central Plains and concentrate the pressure on the Yijin area. In these two states, we will have more time to integrate and digest the north and the east. Once the integration is over, it will be the time for us to advance in large numbers."
"Just like this, the Li family in Yizhou will inevitably bear most of the attack pressure. Will they agree?" Guoshanfeng looked at Li Qing with some doubts. Although the general was the nephew of the Li family, this involved the interests of the Li family's houses, and Yizhou suffered huge losses to ensure that Dingzhou was fulfilled. What would the Li family in Yizhou do?
"So, Director Qingfeng went to Luoyang and wanted to bring Duke An out at any cost. The other members of the Li clan would definitely not want it, but Duke An saw more clearly when standing at a different height than them. With Duke An in Yizhou, there would be no problem!" Shang Haibo smiled.
"Not bad! The victory of the Grand Marshal is the victory of the Li family!" said Kushanfeng excitedly, "Some people in the Li family may be blinded by what is in front of them, but Duke An Guo is stubborn and will never be so short-sighted. With Duke An Guo, the strategy of the Grand Marshal will definitely succeed."
Li Qing and Shang Haibo looked at each other. Although there was a smile on their faces, their hearts were far from so relaxed. This matter was simple, but it was very complicated to do it. There were many ways to impress the enemy, but sometimes it was much more difficult for their comrades and relatives. Not to mention anything else, to achieve this strategic goal, when Yijin was fully connected, the first step was to integrate the army, unify the government orders, Dingzhou was strong, and Yizhou was weak. In the future strategy, Yizhou would have to bear most of the pressure, and the balance between this was really difficult to grasp.
There are so many things that are difficult to figure out for a while, so I can only take one step at a time.
The day after Li Qing arrived in Tonglu, the group of people appeared outside the command center of Tonglu Mountain Wind. Qingfeng, which returned from Luoyang, finally arrived at the destination with Duke An Guo Li Huaiyuan.
What surprised Li Qing, Kushan Feng, Shang Haibo and others was that almost all the guards accompanied him were injured and covered in blood. It can be seen that the thrillingness along the way.
The carriage door opened, Zhong Jing jumped down, turned around and helped Qingfeng down. What made Li Qing change color was that Qingfeng's face was pale, and one arm was wrapped in a thick bandage, hanging around his neck, and he was actually injured.
Li Qing strode forward, reached out to hold Qingfeng, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you injured?"
Qingfeng showed a smile on his face, "It's okay, a little bit of injury. Yuan Fang is like a cat with his tail stepped on. He is still ghostly all the way. Fortunately, you sent Sun Zewu to take Feiying to pick him up. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can come back. Duke An of the Kingdom is behind, please go and meet Duke!"
Li Qing nodded, "You go down and have a good life and will raise me. I'll come to see you in the evening!"
Walking to the second carriage, Li Qing bent down and bowed, "The grandson has seen grandpa! You are always frightened along the way!"
The carriage door opened, and Duke An Guoping laughed and poked his head out, "What's the shock? The old man's life is much more thrilling than this time. I eat well and sleep soundly. These guys under your hands are really powerful. They are the most powerful soldiers I have ever seen, Li Wen and Li Wu, right?"
In the carriage, the shadows were accompanied by Duke An Guo, and said with a smile: "Yes, these soldiers are really powerful."
Li Qing looked at Li Wen and Li Wu, and his face was haggard, and his bodies were stained with blood. Obviously, he fought desperately along the way, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"This is our duty, and I dare not be the praise of the general!" Li Wen and Li Wu bowed.
