Horse on the World

Chapter 146 Confusion
Qingfeng's expression changed several times, he was ashamed and annoyed, he took a few deep breaths, and then he regained his composure, crossing the mountain wind with fear, seeing Qingfeng's face change repeatedly, until he saw the smile on the other person's face again. Only then put a heart in the stomach.

"Lieutenant Guo, you helped us a lot when the Statistics and Investigation Department was founded. Qingfeng has always kept this in mind and never dared to forget it." Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Don't dare, some trivial things are not worth mentioning, but Director Qingfeng has made the statistics and investigation department famous in a short period of time, and Guo is very grateful." Guo Shanfeng bowed his body and said.

Qingfeng sat in a different posture, shook his head and said: "I have dealt with Captain Guo a lot, and Qingfeng also knows that Captain Guo is a very smart person, which is not the same as Wang Qinian and others. Are you confused?"

"General Wang is highly valued by the commander-in-chief, and Guo does not dare to compare with him. It's just this matter, where did Guo get confused?" Guo Shanfeng asked in bewilderment.

Qingfeng smiled unpredictablely, looked at Guoshanfeng but remained silent, lowered his head and flipped through the file, Guoshanfeng thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. He bowed, "I also ask Director Qingfeng to explain Guo's doubts!"

Closing the file with a snap, Qingfeng said: "Lieutenant Guo, this is a sign that the general wants to reuse you, but you still refuse. If I were you, I would be eager to agree immediately."

"I know that the commander-in-chief thinks highly of me, but I still want to fight the barbarians one by one on the battlefield, and give credit for the real swords and guns. That's refreshing." Guo Shanfeng said.

Qingfeng shook his head, "Lieutenant Guo, do you think we can win the final victory if we fight the barbarians hard?"

Guo Shanfeng thought for a moment, "The barbarians have strong soldiers and strong horses, but our Dingzhou is not bad, and the commander-in-chief is strategizing, the victory or defeat should be between four and six, and I will be six and four."

"If Lieutenant Guo really thinks this way, then he will underestimate the barbarians! Barbarians and iron cavalry are unparalleled in the world. If anyone can compete with them in cavalry, I think it is only Shiwei people. We Dingzhou is not enough." Qingfeng said lightly, "In my opinion, there are only five or five, but the general thinks that in the current situation, the barbarians occupy six and I only have four."

Guo Shanfeng was taken aback. If Qingfeng was telling the truth, it meant that the decision-makers in Dingzhou did not have the confidence to win this war, but were worried.

"So, the general is eager to open up a second battlefield, and the west is connected to Shiwei, and there are two sides to attack." Qingfeng said: "The only land passage to the west to Shiwei is controlled by the barbarians, and the barbarians at Congling Pass have heavy troops stationed. In the past, the only thing left was the waterway, crossing the ocean, bypassing the area controlled by the barbarians, but we didn't have any waterway, so we had to make another idea, seek Hailing in Fuzhou, open up the estuary, and pass by the sea. It can be said that if If we can’t open this channel, our odds of fighting the barbarians are not high. You said, if the general entrusts you with such an important task, if you will be rewarded for your merits in the future, will your credit be lower than that of Wang Qinian? It will only be higher. !"

"However, this is shameful, and it requires me to pretend to be a bandit." Guo Shanfeng murmured.

Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, "Lieutenant Guo, if we seize Fuzhou, is it possible to go for it with open fire? Don't forget that Fuzhou is also the territory of Great Chu, and the commander of Fuzhou Xiang Xianhe is the ancestor of Queen Xiang today." Dear, we are really robbing, not to mention the reaction of the queen's clan, even other aristocratic families can't tolerate it. After all, there is still a little balance between the aristocratic families. , It is going to restore chaos in the state, the chaos is so bad that Xiang Fatty can’t take care of it, and the chaos is so great that he can only turn to his neighbors, we who have the strong soldiers of Chu and Chu. Come and ask our Dingzhou soldiers to help him put down the rebellion.”

"I think the general has already told you clearly that controlling Hailing is the top priority. If you really do this, you will be the number one hero in destroying the barbarians in Dingzhou in the future. No one can compete with you."

"This?" Guo Shanfeng was silent.

"Can't you see the light?" Qingfeng laughed loudly: "This is really a joke. It is for outsiders to see the light. In our internal, it is possible that there is no one who dares to discredit your achievements. Captain Guo, forgive me , the more shady things you do for the general, the brighter your future will be."

Guo Shanfeng couldn't help being moved, yes, why didn't I think of this, usually things that don't see the light are done by confidantes, so it seems that the commander-in-chief regards himself as a confidant.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel happy.

"This is only in terms of the current battle. In the long run, the general's move has a deeper meaning!" Qingfeng picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water.Watching Guoshan Feng meaningfully.

"A deeper meaning?" Guo Shanfeng looked at Qingfeng puzzled, but where Qingfeng's special identity lies, I'm afraid she is also the clearest about the general's thoughts.Since she said that, it must have a deliberate meaning.

"Director, please speak clearly!" Guo Shanfeng said.

"Lieutenant Guo, this word can come out of your mouth and into your ears. I don't admit it when I go out of this door. You know, if the general finds out that I told you these things, he will definitely be unhappy. Not only will you be in bad luck, Even I will suffer." Qingfeng said in a low voice.

Guo Shanfeng couldn't help but tremble, knowing that what Qingfeng said next would be earth-shattering, and he almost didn't want to hear it, but the matter was related to himself, and the meaning in Qingfeng's words was very clear, this matter was centered on himself, if he could If you get a letter in advance, you can prepare it calmly.

"Lieutenant Guo, what do you think of our Dingzhou interior?"

"Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, they are very united." Guo Shanfeng said truthfully.

"Yes, under the leadership of the commander in chief! But what about the people below, the people below are also very united, don't they distinguish between each other?"

Guo Shanfeng understood Qingfeng's meaning, thought for a while, and said: "That's not true, as far as it is concerned, they are still divided into several obvious hills."

Qingfeng clapped his hands, "That's right! Lieutenant Guo, you want to understand, in our Dingzhou, the civil service system doesn't care about him for the time being, our Dingzhou is a military state, and the military is the focus, and the civil service is mainly responsible for the military system. Service, their influence is not worth mentioning at present, but there are two obvious divisions in the army, one is the former general of the Dingzhou Army headed by Lu Dalin, and the other is the former general of the Changsheng Battalion headed by Shang Haibo. They are all armed with heavy troops and are very important. Now they still maintain a certain balance of strength and can check each other, but Captain Guo, the Dingzhou military department is not the commander-in-chief's confidant after all, and the commander-in-chief still has some doubts about them. After graduation, the generals of the original Dingzhou Army will definitely be suppressed to a certain extent, and the generals of the Changsheng Battalion will move to a more important position. In this way, the two sectors that were originally evenly matched will no longer be balanced. The power of the battalion generals has risen sharply, while the Dingzhou army has shrunk, so the balance is lost, which means it is not safe."

"Then it's okay not to break this balance?" Guo Shanfeng asked doubtfully.

Qingfeng was so cruel that he slapped this smart-looking guy down with a horseshoe. How could he be such an idiot in politics? "Are you stupid? Lu Dalin has a very high prestige in Dingzhou, and he is one of the main force in this battle against the barbarians. He is still a native of Dingzhou. If he defeats the barbarians, his prestige will be even higher, and he will be close to the big ones." Shuai, is this a good thing? It is expected that his authority will be cut after the war, otherwise, how can the general deal with himself? How can General Lu be at peace?"

Guo Shanfeng suddenly realized that after defeating the barbarians, Lu Dalin's prestige would inevitably increase along with Li Qing's, and would pose a threat to Li Qing politically. It will definitely be the side that retreats, but in this way, the generals of the original Changsheng battalion will definitely increase their power as Lu Dalin retreats, thus forming a new trend that cannot be lost.

"You don't belong to the original Dingzhou Army or the original Changsheng Battalion, but you have a good friendship with both of them, right?" Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "You are a very special existence, and through After such a long test, your loyalty has been proven, and your ability has also been recognized by the general. This is why the general picked you. If you are asked to fight on the grassland, it is nothing more than attaching wings and tails. How can you get promoted step by step, so how can you play a role in balancing the two departments? Therefore, the general found another way and let you open up the second battlefield independently. It can be expected that if you control Hailing and control Fuzhou closely and implicitly In the future, the Dingzhou Army will cross the sea and land outside the Congling Pass. The commander of the army will be you. After the grassland is cleared, the general will be able to use this as a basis to promote you, and your status will rise rapidly, so that you will be the leader of the Dingzhou Army. In this way, the triangular stability of the Dingzhou Army will be formed."

Guo Shanfeng took a deep breath. He used to be just a bandit. Although he was smart and capable and good at learning, it was impossible for him to get in touch with these things before. After surrendering to Li Qing, all he learned was how to march When it comes to war, he is completely a layman for these complicated political things. He has never even thought that there are such complicated things in the Dingzhou Army. From his original point of view, Dingzhou Whether it is the military department or the Changsheng battalion department, the big guys have been together for a long time, and the relationship is naturally better than others, just like before when I was a bandit by myself, I always tolerate the old guys, but today, Regarding the political struggle, Qingfeng gave him an enlightenment lesson, letting him understand that the Dingzhou Army, which seemed to be extremely united and monolithic, had such twists and turns inside. Guo Shanfeng couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but at the same time he was extremely excited. This is his own opportunity, his own great opportunity. If he grasps it well, his future will be even more brilliant.Like Lu Dalin, Shang Haibo and the others, he will become one of the three chariots of the Marshal.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Qingfeng, "Thank you, Director, for clarifying my doubts. It's the right time to pass XX today, and there will be rich rewards in the future after XX."

Qingfeng pursed his lips and smiled, "Lieutenant Guo, regarding the restoration of the state, our statistics and investigation department has been ordered to cooperate with you and strive to make you achieve your goal as soon as possible. Of course, this is also the goal of the general and our goal of Dingzhou. Our investigation department It has already intervened in advance, started to instigate rebellion, bought, and has already achieved initial results. After you enter Fuzhou, I will give you a list. The people on this list are the people who cannot be moved when you rob, "

At this time, Guo Shanfeng had already fully realized that it turned out to be a very simple matter in his own eyes, and there were so many connotations hidden in it. If Qingfeng hadn't explained it to him today, and if he rejected it with all his strength, what he would have lost It's not just a chance, presumably the commander-in-chief will vent his anger on himself after being disappointed. Thinking of this episode, a thin layer of sweat can't help but break out in his vest.

Thinking of this, Guo Shanfeng couldn't help but be grateful to Qingfeng. He didn't expect that today he wanted to hit the wooden clock here and ask Qingfeng to intercede. He didn't expect the result to be like this, but he was glad that he came here, otherwise he would know in the future. Phase, will be a lifelong grudge.

"Be careful, it's not a respect, please accept it with a smile. Guo will leave now and go back to the barracks to prepare for the relevant matters. Since the matter of going to Fuzhou is a secret, the people I bring must also be capable, smart, and dare not disturb The director is here, and the director's great kindness will definitely be taken to heart." With a deep bow, he turned around and strode away, walking heavily when he came, but swift and brisk when he left.

After seeing off the mountain wind, Qingfeng smiled and opened the exquisite gift box, took out a whole body green jade bracelet from it, held it in his hand and played with it.Today's words of persuasion to the other party, the former is real, and the latter is her own choice, but in her heart, she thinks that the general must think so, and she will do the same in the future.

"Guoshanfeng!" Qingfeng murmured a few times silently. This guy who was born as a bandit will definitely become a very important part of the Dingzhou Army. I invest a little in him now, and there may be big ones in the future. reward.

Outside the door, Guo Shanfeng walked out the door full of joy, and the guards who had been anxiously waiting outside hurried up to greet him, "Captain, are you alright?"

Guo Shanfeng put his mouth close to his ear, and said mysteriously: "Tell you, we are going to be bandits again!" This personal guard is him who followed him when he was a bandit, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

The personal guard was taken aback, "Captain, you really have to catch Director Qingfeng's attention, you shouldn't have made a move, aren't you looking for death? After we go back, let's pack up our things and run away!"

Guo Shanfeng was stunned, and it took him a while to realize what the guard meant. He couldn't help being furious, and hit him on the head with a popcorn, "Fuck you big-headed ghost! You useless thing, you pretend to be What is it?"

The personal guard covered the big bump on his head, and whispered in dissatisfaction: "Then why do you want to go back to be a bandit? How good it is now!"
