Chapter 541: Everyone uses their own ideas

In Jinzhou, most of the mountain wind-moving mountain division has withdrawn according to the orders of the Dingzhou Army General's Office, and the remaining Jianrui Camp of Jiang Heiniu, the broken rear team, has also begun to pack up. No matter from any aspect, the Dingzhou army has decided to give up Jinzhou.

Xingzhou, Emperor Tianqi heard Yuan Fang’s reward and smiled, and lived up to his responsibilities. He finally pulled the Dingzhou army back from the Central Plains. The Dingzhou army lost its bridgehead in the Central Plains and had no Li Qing. From then on, he could only retreat to the western frontier and could not do anything big. After he calmly took over King Ning, he had plenty of time to slowly digest the Dingzhou power. It can be imagined that from then on, the young master of Dingzhou was young, but his generals under his command had heavy troops. Without a banner figure like Li Qing, it was difficult for one of the generals of the Dingzhou army to gather these powerful generals together, each of whom was in charge of his own affairs, and he had a large number of hills, which completely lost the danger to Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, the spies are rewarding. When the mountain wind withdraws, he suggested that Duke Anguo Li Huaiyuan, the Li family, completely abandon Yizhou and move most of the people in Yizhou to Dingzhou to enrich the population of Dingzhou." Yuan Fang said.

Tianqi raised his eyebrows, "Cross Mountain Feng really said this? This person should not be underestimated, he is very self-conscious."

Yuan Fang nodded and said, "Yes, the true meaning of the mountain wind is to ask the Li family to take over Dingzhou. It can be imagined that if Li Huaiyuan arrives in Dingzhou, Qingcheng will no longer be able to fully grasp the overall situation. Dingzhou will have great potential to gather again under Li Huaiyuan's command. The Li family gave up Yizhou and lost its foundation. After arriving in Dingzhou, they can only rely on these generals. The mountain wind and other power will not be compressed, but will increase sharply. With Li Huaiyuan's tent, even if Dingzhou cannot step on the Central Plains again, the western frontier will definitely become a long-term disaster for the empire."

Tianqi smiled and said, "Is Duke An Guo who listened to what you mean?"

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not bad. Duke An Guo was old. Li Qing's death had a great blow to Duke An Guo. With Li Qing's pillar, the Li family was prosperous and had the opportunity to compete for the Central Plains. However, when Li Qing died, the Li family was in a desperate situation. The Li family had been operating Yizhou for a long time and had mixed forces. It was difficult to make them give up their ancestors' management for hundreds of years. Going to Dingzhou would be almost a dependent on others. In addition, once Li Qing died, the major forces in Dingzhou would inevitably start a power struggle. Even if Duke An Guo was in Dingzhou, it might be difficult to achieve success. Besides, Duke An Guo was old and could leave at any time. He was like a death. His three sons had no prestige in Dingzhou. How to suppress the generals of Dingzhou? I believe Duke An Guo thought of these and would rather defend Yizhou to the death?"

"Duke An Guo is old after all. If he was ten years younger and faced such a situation, he would definitely give up Yizhou decisively. Once he was old, he would think more and there would be many things he could not let go. Since he could not let go, he was doomed to fail. This time we must take down Yizhou. The existence of Yizhou is a variable after all. Before I initiated the war against King Ning, I must ensure that there are no one in the Central Plains." Tianqi said: "Li Huaiyuan will never sit idly by and watch us attack King Ning. Previously, Li had the intention of sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, but now he is looking at the cold mouth and not pulling out Yizhou. When we attack King Ning, they were in trouble behind, and there was a big trouble. The previous examples of the Duke An Guo used troops were really scary."

"That Youyan's Xiao Yuanshan?" Yuan Fang said.

"Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao are already in a state of decline. At present, they can only breathe in Youyan. They have no ability to fight. We use the Li family and Ding Wang to fight, and they just want to use this rare opportunity to revive Youyan's strength."

"But they didn't think about it. When we took Yizhou and defeated King Ning, how could they benefit from it when we turned around?" Yuan Fang sneered.

Tianqi raised his head and laughed, "When people drown, they will catch a straw. What's more, what I gave Xiao Yuanshan this time is not a straw, but a branch. He probably thought that we would be seriously injured in our defecation of Queen Ning, and he spent the past few years to regain his power. At that time, if we want to defeat them, the price we pay is too high, and we might solve the problem in peace talks!"

Yuan Fang said: "Your Majesty, this time we raided Yizhou, there is no big problem, but in the future, we will have a fatal weakness, that is, the navy. We do not have the navy to deal with the navy of Ning King's sea fleet. If we do not destroy the navy, we will always be peaceful!"

Tianqi's eyes crossed Yuan Fang and looked at the distant West, "It depends on Qingqing's achievements in Dingzhou. If he could fully control Dingzhou and the Dingzhou Navy could use it for me, then why did he fear the Ningwang Navy, Deng Peng, and Zheng Zhiyuan, the Dingzhou Navy general, are all rare generals. Just looking at Zheng Zhiyuan's previous partial army, he could destroy the entire fleet of Ningwang, and he could see his strength."

"Li Qing's command is full of talents. This person's ability to know people and his ability to use people is indeed amazing." Yuan Fang sighed.

"That's right!" Tianqi said: "The more talented these generals are, the more beneficial it is to us. Think about it, these generals had a common goal of loyalty under Li Qing's command. Now Li Qing is gone. Who will obey anyone or not, and everyone wants to take the lead. However, in the fight between each other, it is difficult to gain the upper hand. At this time, they will inevitably seek reinforcements from outside and have increased their own power. When the mountain wind is leaving, it is recommended that Duke Anguo Li Huaiyuan go to Dingzhou, which may have this idea. You can start from this direction and see how easy it is to rebel and win over the generals of Dingzhou. As long as you open a gap, it will be like an avalanche, and a clamor will never stop. You tell Qingqing that he will also work hard in this regard. Since there is a Shang Haibo in Dingzhou, you may have a second one and a third one!"

"Your Majesty, Princess Qingcheng has made such a great contribution now, and eliminated the troubles of Your Majesty's confidant in one fell swoop. This is not rewarded. Only Princess Qingcheng can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens in Dingzhou for several years. Once the matter is done, it will be corrected!"

Speaking of Qingcheng, Tianqi showed a sad look on his face, "I have made such a bitter girl. She has made such a great contribution. I can't reward her or not. Moreover, this time, she lost her husband and her children and her father. I believe she has a very bad mood. You go to Dingzhou and don't talk about these things to her."

"My subordinates understand."

"Your Majesty, Shang Haibo is very influential in Dingzhou. Just look at his surrender, two of the three generals who troubled the princess withdrew their troops with one order. This person stayed in Dingzhou for a long time, which is also an unfavorable factor!"

Tianqi pondered for a moment, "Shang Haibo is talented and ambitious. It is indeed inappropriate to be in Dingzhou for a long time. Qingcheng also mentioned this person in the letter and suggested summoning him to the capital."

"I'm not afraid that he has no ambitions. I just have ambitions to control it. Qingcheng said that this person has the ability to rule the world, but now, who can give him this stage is only me. Lord Chen Xiyan is old and just lacks a person to take over. He summoned this person to the capital and granted him great power. I'm not afraid that he will not be willing to serve. Li Qing can use talents without any restrictions, so how can I be worse than him!"

Yuan Fang was a little worried, "Your Majesty, Shang Haibo has such influence in the Dingzhou Army. If he enters the Prison House again, wouldn't it be a hindrance?"

Tianqi laughed, "When we divide and win over the generals of Dingzhou and Qingqing completely controls the power of Dingzhou, we might as well disclose some things to these important officials of Dingzhou, and transfer some of them to this person. At that time, he will not argue. The people of Dingzhou hate him at that time, but he will not be able to make any sense of the situation. How could he still hear them? I am afraid that he will destroy him with all his heart. At that time, Shang Haibo is only thinking about how to deal with his old friends?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Tianqi refused to comment and changed the topic, "Where has Qu Yongjie been?"

"Your Majesty, General Qu has arrived in Minzhou and is secretly purging the troops in Minzhou. He is about to arrive in Xingzhou soon, gathering Minzhou, Xingzhou, and Qinzhou. In addition, the 20,000 soldiers and swords transferred from Mr. Qiu, a total of 150,000 troops will be fought first to lead Jinzhou and then raid Yizhou. Yizhou will be difficult to resist."

"Before this matter is launched, try to keep it as secret as possible. Duke An Guo would not have thought that we would attack him at this time. If he had let him know in advance, with his ability, he would inevitably delay the war as much as possible. In this way, the Ning King in the south would not be settled."

"Yes, the reason why General Qu went south secretly was based on this consideration. Although Duke An Guo was old, he was old and powerful. General Qu had always been in awe of Duke An Guo."

"It is good to have this mentality. Lion fights with rabbits and also use all his strength. Li Qing has a very big appetite. He has to plan in the Central Plains and to annex the Lu Zenger clan. If he was not only the power of the Changsheng Division in the East, but had mobilized any of the two kings to join, Zeng and Lu Er clan had already been destroyed. We should remember these lessons."

"Yes, Your Majesty is very thoughtful. I admire you very much. You have to eat one bite at a time and take the road step by step! One step at a time is the right truth. Although Li Qing has amazing talents, his foundation is too thin and not deep in his life, so he has today's ending."
