Horse on the World

Chapter 190 Chapter 180 Seven: Influence

"Okay, Li Qing is really brave!" In the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Luoyang, Emperor Tianqi held the memorial that Li Qing had just presented in his hand, he was overjoyed, he couldn't help standing up and applauding loudly.

"Within a few months, two big victories in succession, breaking the camp of the Qingbu, beheading Han Ningshou, the chieftain, defeating Daishan of the Hongbu, beheading more than [-] barbarians, good, good, Li Qing really did not I'm disappointed." Tian Qi was very happy, and if this goes on, what Li Qing said is that the grassland will be calmed down in three years.

Excitedly, Tian Qi walked up and down the hall, without realizing that his chief assistant, Chen Xiyan, was smiling wryly and holding a memorial in his hand.

"Chen Qing, tell me, how should I reward Li Qing?" Tian Qi asked.

Chen Xiyan smiled wryly and handed over the memorial in his hand, "Your Majesty, please read this memorial from Li Qing first!"

Seeing Chen Xiyan's expression, Tian Qi accepted it strangely, glanced at the cover, and said strangely: "Fuzhou, what's the matter with Li Qing at Fuzhou Guan? Why is he submitting the paper instead of Xiang Xianhe?"

Opening the memorial and taking a rough look, his expression changed drastically. After finishing the reading, he slammed the memorial on the table, panting heavily, unable to speak.

The banditry in Fuzhou attacked the city and plundered the land, causing trouble for the common people. The entire Fuzhou army was wiped out. You should ask the commander. The Dingzhou army entered Fuzhou to help the suppression. They were defeated. Xiang Shuai withdrew from Huai'an, and his life and death were unknown immediately. The minister is raising his army and rushing to Fuzhou today.

"Xiang Xianhe, this stupid pig!" Tian Qi scolded bitterly. From Li Qing's memorial, he seemed to see that the Dingzhou army was galloping recklessly in Fuzhou. After Dingzhou, Fuzhou also quietly It fell into Li Qing's hands.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Chen Xiyan said cautiously: "With the ability of Commander Xiao, he still can't protect Dingzhou, let alone Xiang Xianhe? How can he be Li Qing's opponent, if he lures wolves into the house, he will be devoured by wolves! After planning for a long time, I am afraid that by the day he writes this memorial, Fuzhou will already fall into his hands."

"Is Xiang Xianhe alive or dead?"

"Your Majesty, Xiang Shuai must be dead if the nest is overwhelmed. If Xiang Shuai is alive, how will Li Qing control Dingzhou?" Chen Xiyan said with certainty.

Hehehe, Tian Qi sneered, "Li Qing seized the prefecture that day and sent Xiao Yuanshan back, but now he has taken Fuzhou, but has killed Xiang Xianhe silently. My royal family is not as majestic as a family , It's really ridiculous, Li Qing is too deceitful!"

Chen Xiyan was speechless, Xiang Xianhe was the queen's clan, Tian Qi obviously thought that Li Qing didn't take him seriously, so he directly took Xiang Xianhe's life.

"Your Majesty, Li Qing is a ferocious tiger, and it has already grown out. There is no one on the border of the Western Regions. Your Majesty, you must put a bridle on this fierce tiger as soon as possible!" Chen Xi said.

Tian Qi sneered and said, "Li Qing actually asked me to appoint another Commander-in-Chief of Fuzhou in the memorial, hehe, who dares to go?"

Chen Xiyan said: "No one dares to go. This is a dead end. Your Majesty, it is a foregone conclusion that Fuzhou will fall into Li Qing's hands. This is an unchanging fact. Now we can only do our best to turn the disadvantage into advantage."

Tian Qi's eyes flickered, "Turn disadvantages into benefits?"

Chen Xiyan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, let Princess Qingcheng marry as soon as possible!"

"What do you mean? What does Qingqing's marriage have to do with the Fuzhou incident?"

"Your Majesty, since Li Qing already holds Fuzhou, it is impossible to take it back from him. No one dares to pull out his teeth, but Your Majesty, we can't let Li Qing own Fuzhou justifiably. Princess Qingcheng can marry her. Let Princess Qingcheng lead Fuzhou on her behalf as a dowry and entrust Li Qing to take care of it. In this way, after the princess gets married, she can also take care of Fuzhou affairs in an open and honest manner and reorganize the Fuzhou Army. The princess is of course the commander of the Fuzhou Army. With the princess's many years of experience in leading troops, it is not impossible to train a strong army for your majesty, so as to check and balance Li Qing's power expansion. It is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Afterwards," Chen Xiyan hesitated for a moment, then continued: "After the grassland was leveled, Princess Qingcheng looked over at Li Qing for your majesty and made him become a The sharp blade in His Majesty's hand cleans up the ghosts and ghosts in the universe for His Majesty, this is the third benefit."

Tian Qi nodded frequently, "Shou Fu, this plan is certainly a great one, but at the beginning, Qing Qing made a three-year agreement with Li Qing, and now it is less than one year, and the royal family can't wait to marry the princess, wouldn't it be a laughing stock."

Chen Xiyan said: "Your Majesty, three years later, Li Qing's power has already been established, and the princess will marry at that time, and there can still influence the situation in Fuzhou, so she can only be reduced to Li Qing's concubine. I can't fail to see the current situation, as long as His Majesty speaks, I can guarantee that Princess Qingcheng will agree."

Chen Xiyan's words were already very blatant. His Majesty the Emperor had to choose between the dignity of the royal family and the safety of the country.As for how to choose, Chen Xiyan believed that Emperor Tianqi was not so confused yet.

Duke of Qi's mansion, Duke of Qi Xiao Haoran's face was gloomy. Li Qing was the great enemy of the Xiao family. Although the two families were still maintaining peace on the surface, they were already on fire in the dark. Seeing that Li Qing's power was rising steadily, he was sitting in Dingzhou. The scholar, the rich and prosperous land of Fuzhou, will let him clear the grassland in the future. His power will not be seconded to Dachu.

"Yuan Shan, you have been in charge of the Imperial Forest Army for several months, are you sure that I will completely control the Imperial Forest Army within this year and next?"

"Patriarch, don't worry, right now I have started to cleanse the Imperial Forest Army, and I will be able to fully integrate it next year. By then, the Imperial Forest Army will be able to do whatever they want." Xiao Yuanshan said affirmatively.

"Well, since then, I've let go of most of my heart. This is very important to my Xiao family's future plans. Is there a way for the palace guards to infiltrate?"

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head, "The palace guards are monolithic, there is really nothing they can do."

Xiao Haoran was thoughtful, "In the current situation, His Majesty will definitely marry Princess Qingcheng to Li Qing immediately, in order to check and balance Li Qing, presumably Fuzhou will be placed under the name of Princess Qingcheng, I can find a way to let Qingcheng The princess took away part of the palace guards. In this way, the palace guards will have to replenish their manpower, and they must be selected from the imperial forest army first. Moreover, the commander of the palace guards who succeeds at that time may not have the talent of the city. You have to deal with this matter as soon as possible. To prepare, the information of the corresponding personnel must be fully prepared, and there must be no mistakes."

"Patriarch, Yuan Shan understands."

Xiao Tianci on the side asked puzzledly: "Patriarch, what's the difference between putting Fuzhou under Princess Qingcheng's name and putting it under Li Qing's name? Isn't it the same when they are husband and wife?"

Xiao Haoran glared at him in dissatisfaction. At first he valued the third-generation elite of the Xiao family, but after Li Qing arrived in Luoyang, he humiliated him several times in a row, which made him see his true nature, which is really hard to trust. Zhong Ren said, "Hmph, there's a big difference here, go down and think about it, Godsend, I'm very disappointed with your recent performance."

Being stared at and scolded by Xiao Haoran, Xiao Tianci immediately became half shorter, feeling ashamed and annoyed, hating Li Qing, the lowly son of the Li family even more in his heart, but if I teach you to fall into my hands, your life will definitely be worse than death.

"Li Qing killed Xiang Xianhe and forged a death feud with the Xiang family. We can take advantage of this. We can form an alliance with the Xiang family. The Xiang family's royal family has great potential power. What's more, they have a trump card. We Just to lure you with this?"

"His Royal Highness!" Xiao Yuanshan's eyes lit up.

Xiao Haoran nodded slowly, "Time waits for no one, and the form is compelling. Whether my Xiao family can continue its glory, in the next two years, all the sons of the Xiao family must work hard for this goal."

"Yes, Patriarch!" In the house, all the important officials of the Xiao family responded together.

Luoyang, the capital city, was turbulent, and various forces adjusted their strategic deployment accordingly due to the great changes in Fuzhou. At this time, Huai'an Mansion in Fuzhou, which caused this huge earthquake, was calm. The misfortune immediately subsided.

"General Guo, thank you for your hard work!" Li Qing looked at Guo Shanfeng with a smile, and praised him. This time, he succeeded in capturing Fuzhou, and Guo Shanfeng should take the lead.

"Don't dare, this is all the strength of the commander's overall planning, and the subordinates are just following the plan." Guo Shanfeng clasped his fists and said apologetically.But he was not without complacency in his heart. After several months in Fuzhou, he not only perfectly completed the task assigned by the commander in chief, but also formed a team of more than [-] people in a short period of time with more than a thousand backbones brought to Fuzhou as the core. People's elite soldiers.

"You should be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and you will be punished for your demerits. You don't have to be humble!" Li Qing said. "With Fuzhou, we will be able to form a large-scale navy, cross the ocean, give the barbarians a heavy blow from the rear, and pass the mountain wind. I intend to form the third division of the Dingzhou Army with [-] soldiers. Do you intend to be the commander of this division?" ?”

Guo Shanfeng was overjoyed, Qingfeng's prediction was gradually becoming reality, he put on one knee and said loudly: "Dare to die for the commander in chief!
Go through fire and water, do whatever it takes. "

"Okay, your division is named Yishan Division. You have more than [-] elite troops. I will also assign Jiang Heiniu's Jianrui Battalion to your subordinates. You will recruit new cavalry battalions in Fuzhou and station them in Fuzhou. , cooperate closely with Deng Peng, strengthen training, just wait for my order, the whole army can board the ship and fight across the sea, you have confidence."

"The future general has confidence!" Guo Shanfeng said loudly.But in my heart, I admire Qingfeng. I really didn't expect that Director Qingfeng even expected that Jiang Heiniu would belong to him. Jiang Heiniu is Wang Qinian's old department. This can be regarded as a kind of check and balance for him. Loudly said: "Commander, the general has a request at the end."

Um?Li Qing glanced at Guo Shanfeng in surprise, "Talk!"

"Most of the last general's subordinates are salt workers, and their military quality is extremely poor. There is a shortage of low-level officers in the subordinate army. I implore the commander-in-chief to assign a group of officers from the personal guard battalion for my subordinates so that I can move the mountain division into an army as soon as possible. , Strengthen combat power."

Li Qing glanced at Guo Shanfeng strangely, but couldn't see that Guo Shanfeng's mind was so delicate, and said with a smile: "General Guo, when we first left Chong County, we didn't have a group of recruits in our hands, how come General Guo Instead, you have no confidence?"

Guo Shanfeng smiled and said: "Commander, my teacher is going to fight across the sea, and my subordinates are worried. If we can form combat power earlier, the subordinates will feel at ease. I hope the commander will help!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Okay, as you wish, you go to my personal guard camp and take away whoever you like, but Lu Dabing and Tang Hu can't move! If you like it, I won't give it to you! "
