Horse on the World

Chapter 17 Where To Go
On October [-]th in the tenth year of the apocalypse, all the high-level battalions in the Changsheng battalion gathered in Li Qing's camp, and they were holding their first formal meeting since they formed the battalion. The reorganization is about to start, what is the future of Changshengying, and how should we deal with it?
The three of Wang Qinian and his troops were alright, this kind of discussion was obviously beyond their abilities, they could do nothing but open their mouths wide and prick up their ears, while Tang Hu and Yang Yidao standing beside Li Qing seemed to be able to do nothing but Apart from the two door gods, they couldn't do anything else, so the discussion was mainly between Li Qing, Lu Yiming, and Shang Haibo.

"General, I don't think Xiao Yuanshan and Fang Wenshan are going too far. After all, they relied on the help of my Li family to get through this hurdle. They reciprocated. I think the general's situation should not be too difficult." Lu Yiming With a well-thought-out plan.

Li Qing nodded, "Mr. Lu is right. I think so too. I can handle it in the short term, but I'm afraid of this reorganization. We all know that the Dingzhou Army is not an imperial army, and the imperial court always only provides [-]% of military resources. The remaining [-]% must be raised by oneself, generally speaking, the Dingzhou Army divides a county into a battalion, if Xiao Yuanshan wants to make things difficult for us, he must start from this."

Lu Yiming said: "The general's thinking is good, so this time we must get a better county, at least a middle-level county, so that we can raise enough food and the Changsheng Camp can grow stronger."

Shang Haibo sneered, Lu Yiming turned his head and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, we are thinking so hard here, why don't you say a word?"

Shang Haibo chuckled: "Is there anything else to think about?"

Li Qing glanced at him with dissatisfaction, "Mr. Shang, we are discussing matters, if you have any ideas, feel free to tell us, don't laugh."

Seeing Li Qing's dissatisfaction, Shang Haibo straightened his expression, and said seriously: "General, in fact, you don't need to think about it, the poorest and most difficult place in Dingzhou will definitely be given to us as the source of noise. "

"What's the reason?" Lu Yiming sneered and said, "Is the tea cold before people leave? Xiao Fang's family can't be so shameless, right?"

Li Qing also couldn't believe it and said: "What is the basis for Mr. Shang's words, and the words are still in your ears, so you want to tear your face?"

Shang Haibo said: "The general will understand after thinking about it, this time the general is promoted, the Li family helps the Xiao family to tide over the difficulties, what is this?"

"This is a deal!" Li Qing said.

"Yes, it is a transaction." Shang Haibo said with a smile: "The transaction has been completed, the general has been promoted, Xiao Yuanshan is safe and sound, the two families have their own place, and then the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road. Do you want to watch the general grow stronger? I am afraid that what they are thinking now is how to pull out the nail of the general, so that the general cannot survive, cannot gain a foothold, and then leave automatically."

Li Qing's heart skipped a beat, "It's so obvious, aren't you afraid that I, Mrs. Li, will rebound?"

Shang Haibo laughed and said: "Are the Xiao Fang clans and the Li family friends? Isn't it true? Their power is smaller than the Li family, isn't it? If there is a benefit, they will cooperate, if there is no benefit, they will divide. There is nothing to say."

"In your opinion, where is our Changsheng Camp most likely to go?" Li Qing couldn't help giving Shang Haibo a high look.

Shang Haibo took out a map of Dingzhou from Li Qing's desk, pointed and said: "Please look, general, the most affluent place in Dingzhou is of course the surrounding area of ​​Dingzhou City. No one needs to think about this place, it must be Xiao Yuanshan's place. , and the most effective fighting force in the Dingzhou Army is the Lu Dalin Department of the Chinese Association. Although it is the closest to the barbarians, it is also the richest place. Not only is it rich in production, but it can also do business with the barbarians. After the war is over, the business still needs to be done. The daily necessities needed by the barbarians, such as iron and salt, do not need to be sold to Dingzhou. However, this business tax alone is enough for Lu Dalin to eat and drink. Although Fuyuan is in a remote area, it guards the flank of Dingzhou, and Lin County is not bad. If something happens, Lu Dalin will definitely not let it go, go to battle as a brother!"

Shang Haibo talked eloquently, and in the blink of an eye, Dingzhou had been divided up, and finally he designated a place, "This is the territory of our Changsheng Camp."

"Chongxian?" Li Qing couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's right, it's Chong County!" Shang Haibo said coldly. "Chong County is mountainous, and it is already extremely poor. This time, the barbarians invaded and went deep into Dingzhou. They burned and killed Chong County, which was not on the border. Put it here, where does the general go to prepare for the morning, where to replenish the soldiers? The general's current Changsheng battalion has only a thousand people, and if he wants to make up the full amount of 3000 people, he doesn't need to count on Xiao Yuanshan. There are no soldiers, how can the general gain a foothold? , even if the general has the support of the Li family and does not worry about the source, but there is no strong army and cannot seek benefits for the Li family, will the Li family pay for a useless force? I am afraid that the Li family will let it go No matter, let the general fend for himself."

Li Qing's face was gloomy, "So, there is no solution? The only way is to go to Chong County?"

Shang Haibo nodded and said: "That's right, Chong County must be the general's garrison."

"I asked you if you have a solution?" Li Qing asked in a deep voice.

Shang Haibo shook his head, "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time. Right now, the general can only seek some other benefits as much as possible in the reorganization, and can also benefit a little."

"Other things? Food, ordnance, or something else?" Li Qing asked.

Shang Haibo shook his head, "Xiao Yuanshan will definitely not give these things under excuses. General, think again, do you really need these things? Even if Xiao Yuanshan gives them, how much can you give and how long can you support them? What's more, the general doesn't worry about money now. In a short time, the general still has silver, and he can get some from Mrs. Li."

Li Qing glanced at Shang Haibo, this nasty guy, his words actually carried a sense of comparison, yes, if he came to such a place, what would he really need?Frowning and contemplating, Lu Yiming on the side was obviously also thinking about this problem, the previous him did not expect such a bad result at all.

After a long while, Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, "I understand, in such a place, what do I need most!"

Excitement appeared on Shang Haibo's face, "What did the general think of?"

"Personnel rights!" Li Qing paused every word: "Personnel affairs, I want to hold all the military and civilian affairs of Chong County in my hands, so that if I do something, I won't be in trouble."

Shang Haibo clapped his hands together, "That's right, General, this is the only thing you can get. As for what to do in the future, let's talk about it in Chong County!"

Li Qing nodded, "Sir, you are right, Li Qing immediately understood."

Lu Yiming was a little ashamed. What Shang Haibo thought of, he didn't think of it at all. At this time, he looked at Shang Haibo with no contempt before, and turned to Li Qing, "General, this is only Haibo's idea." As a guess, maybe it's not that bad."

Li Qing said with a smile: "Even if you don't win, there is a high probability of it. Tomorrow there will be a military meeting. Since we already know where we are going, there are some things that need to be prepared first, gentlemen."

Lu Yiming nodded and said: "That's right, I think we need to buy a large amount of food first. When we arrive in Chongxian County, not only the army, but also the common people there will all open their mouths to eat. Without food, there will be no stability. Besides, it’s going to be winter soon.”

"Please two gentlemen to prepare!"
