Horse on the World

Chapter 335

Li Qing came out of the memorial site safely, and finally let all the generals in Dingzhou breathe a sigh of relief, but Li Qing didn't take it seriously. Under such circumstances, how could he be in danger? Obviously, Bayar had made arrangements before his death. Regardless of whether they sincerely surrendered or endured the humiliation, as long as they fell into my heart, I would always have a way to digest them and make them truly my loyal subjects.

Back in the city, Li Qing put this matter behind him, sat in his study, and began to write some bills specifically targeting the grassland that he had been pondering for a long time in his mind.

The sky was getting dark, and when Tang Hu came in to light candles, Guo Shanfeng strode in.

"Marshal!" Guo Shanfeng stepped into the study, "I'm really surprised to see it today.

Li Qing smiled and said: "Is there anything that can make my over-the-top general feel strange? Over the mountain wind, sit down, Huzi, and make tea for the general."

Guo Shanfeng thanked him, sat on Li Qing's lower head, and said excitedly: "The barbarian made four identical coffins for Bayar, and set off in four different directions. I was a little puzzled, so I sent out The scouts went to investigate, guess what I saw?"

Li Qing laughed, recalling some information he had learned in his previous life, and said: "Well, they must have dug deep pits in four directions at the same time, then buried the coffin, filled it with soil, and trampled on it with horses. Stomp the ground down, and then these people set up camp around here and live there, right?"

Guo Shanfeng opened his eyes wide, "Marshal, you also sent someone there, right, how did you know?"

Li Qing smiled mysteriously, and continued: "I also know that when the pasture grows, these places will be no different from other places, and these guards will evacuate. After a few years, even they will not be able to find the location of these tombs." .”

"Why is this? Don't their descendants need to pay homage to them?" Guo Shanfeng asked puzzled.

"This is their custom. Their descendants only need to pay homage to their spiritual tablets." Li Qing explained.

Guoshanfeng shook his head, which was very different from the customs of the Central Plains.

"General Guo, you wouldn't come to me just for this matter, would you?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

Guo Shanfeng said in a low voice: "No, Commander, there are two things here, one is that after you went to pay homage in person, the city has stabilized a lot, and some people who are the focus of the Statistics and Investigation Department and the Military Intelligence Department are now very safe. Second, Mr. Shang and Lord Lu are less than a hundred miles away from Bayanka, and I have sent a team of cavalry forward to meet and protect them, and we should be able to reach Bayanka tonight."

"Very good!" Li Qing stood up excitedly, "They are here, we can finish the work here as soon as possible, and we should return to Dingzhou as soon as possible, the situation in the Central Plains is on the verge of breaking out."

"Marshal, will we march into the Central Plains immediately?" Guo Shanfeng asked cautiously.

Li Qing smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

Guo Shanfeng was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect the commander-in-chief to throw the question back very simply. The commander-in-chief could ask the question back, but he couldn't talk about him, because from Guo Shanfeng's point of view, this is the commander-in-chief's question. Asking policy, but also testing yourself.After following the commander-in-chief for so long, I already understood the commander-in-chief's wish to cross the mountain, that is, to step on the Central Plains and rule the world, but the more this is the case, the more careful we must be.

This issue is too important and too big, Guoshan Feng dared not make it big rashly, took a big sip of tea from the teacup, wanted to take this opportunity to sort out his own thoughts, but he didn't expect to take a sip of tea, but it was very bitter , almost spit it out, and suddenly remembered not to be disrespectful in front of the commander, swallowed the tea with force, looked up at Tang Hu on the side, and felt a small drum in his heart, he didn't seem to have offended this guy, why? Almost half a cup of tea in a glass of water?
Seeing Guo Shanfeng's embarrassing appearance, Li Qing couldn't help laughing, glanced at Tang Hu, and said: "General Guo, it seems that you are very fond of Huzi, and you want to drink tea that Huzi made like this , In the entire Dingzhou army, there are not many people, just a handful of people."

Guo Shanfeng is so strange, there is such a person who expresses his affection. Seeing Tang Hu who was grinning silently, Guo Shanfeng smiled and put down the teacup, but he didn't dare to drink any more.

"Commander, our Dingzhou has spent several years in war. Although the commander has tried everything to protect the people's livelihood, it is inevitable that the people's livelihood will wither after a long battle. The soldiers have been fighting for a long time. , I will definitely miss my relatives and my hometown, and this morale will become a problem, so, in my opinion, a temporary rest is necessary." Guo Shanfeng said.

"Temporary recuperation is necessary, but have you ever thought that Dingzhou is located at the border, so we can only go against the current and take advantage of the chaos. Once the Central Plains decides the winner, we can't win, and we will never have another chance , Have you considered this?" Li Qing asked calmly.

Guo Shanfeng said: "Marshal, I have been reading our Dingzhou's internal newspapers very carefully, from which I found that both the King Ning in the south and the Xiao family who controls the hinterland of the capital are all with good intentions. I have been preparing carefully for many years. Let alone the Lu family in the north and the Zeng family in the east. Don’t make big mistakes. I think it’s not uncommon for this battle to be fought for ten or twenty years. Therefore, we in Dingzhou should have enough time to prepare. I think it’s fine if we don’t start it. The momentum of Li Ting sweeping the acupoints swept across the world."

"You are confident!" Li Qing smiled, "In your opinion, what advantages does our Dingzhou have?"

Guo Shanfeng thought for a moment, and replied: "Commander, to be honest, apart from your advantage in Dingzhou, we don't have any advantages in terms of economy or overall military strength."

Li Qing laughed loudly: "Guo Shanfeng, Guo Shanfeng, you bastards are so calm, so you can easily handle it!"

Guo Shanfeng said seriously: "Commander, I'm not flattering, but telling the truth. I think Dingzhou was destroyed by the barbarians in the past, but it was only four years ago. Under the leadership of the commander, we have After defeating the invincible barbarians, I believe that as long as there are a few years of recuperation, the commander-in-chief will lead us to march across the world."

"You said that we are at a disadvantage economically. This is easy to understand. It can be understood at a glance, but our soldiers are elite soldiers who have fought many battles. Compared with the soldiers who walked off the training ground in the hinterland of the Central Plains, they are not the same. Yes, isn't our soldier's combat power an advantage?" Li Qing asked rhetorically.

Guo Shanfeng said: "Commander, our soldiers are indeed veteran soldiers, but fighting against the giants of the Central Plains and fighting against the barbarians are two concepts. In comparison, siege and defense is our advantage, but compared with the mainland, this is a disadvantage. Compared with the soldiers in the interior, we probably prefer to fight with them. I think the wealthy families in the Central Plains will not understand this It makes sense, so when we enter the Central Plains, it is very likely that we will fall into a war of attrition. How many troops can we organize in Dingzhou now? We have [-] elite soldiers, which is not enough at all, and we will use these soldiers to fight a war. A war of attrition, to be honest, Marshal, I will be very reluctant."

Li Qing nodded slightly. The reason why he has always valued Guo Shanfeng and kept promoting him is because Guo Shanfeng is always clear-headed. In this regard, Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, etc. are far inferior to Guo Shanfeng. He is a handsome talent, but Wang Qinian and others can only be regarded as general talents. In this point, only Lu Dalin can compare with Guo Shanfeng, but Lu Dalin is old and not as promising as Guo Shanfeng, and the other is Guo Shanfeng. The wind is simple and easy to use, and you will feel more at ease when using it.And Lu Dalin is the standard-bearer of the original Dingzhou faction, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in short, Lu Dalin formed his own faction in the Dingzhou army, and he had to reuse him when fighting the barbarians, but when he marched into the Central Plains, Li Qing didn't want to rely too much on Lu Dalin. , now it seems that Guoshanfeng will be a better choice.

Li Qing stood up, "You speak very well. After you go down, find more books about wealthy families in the Central Plains, famous generals, customs, customs, and landscape geography! Well, you can also find Qingfeng and let her statistical investigation Si Duo will collect some information for you in this regard."

"Yes, Commander!" Guo Shanfeng stood up excitedly, Li Qing's hint was too obvious, how could he not hear it?What the commander means is that when he attacks the Central Plains in the future, he will stand alone.

"Huzi, send the general off for me!" Li Qing ordered.

Guo Shanfeng hastily declined and said, "Don't dare to trouble General Tang."

Li Qing laughed loudly, "He saw you in the same eye, so he asked him to see you off, so you and your brother can talk about it."

Seeing Guo Shanfeng and Tang Hu stretching out their arms, Li Qing couldn't help thinking, Guo Shanfeng's courage is not inferior to Wang Qinian's, what's more rare is that he is also very smart, he is lucky to get him by accident, this is Several years of intensive training have also yielded great results. Today, Guoshanfeng can hardly see the shadow of the past. Li Qing believes that as long as he enters the Central Plains, Guoshanfeng will be famous all over the world. I am extremely centered on myself, but I also need to strengthen my control over the mountain wind. This is a fierce tiger, and it is my best help to control it properly, but it is also necessary to prevent problems before they happen. This is also a kind of protection for the wind through the mountain. I think Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin back then, before Chen Qiao's mutiny, did he ever think of rebelling against himself and becoming emperor?
Going back to the table, I picked up the draft I had just written, and revised it a few times. Half of the bull candle had been burned. I just put down my pen when there were hurried footsteps outside, and a soldier appeared at the door. Respectfully reported: "Commander, Shang Canjun and Lord Lu are here!"

Li Qing was overjoyed, he stood up hastily, walked out, and said as he walked, "Please, please!" When the two arrived, he could finally be freed from the complicated and trivial matters.
