Horse on the World

Chapter 385 Exchange
"The price I paid, I believe Duke Xiao would never refuse." Li Qing said confidently.

"Master, why not tell me!" Xiao Weiran asked.

"In order to show our sincerity and determination, I have decided to send troops ahead of time to attack King Ning's subordinates. I will put down the rebellion for Duke Xiao and the court, and also share some pressure for General Xiao Yuanshan who is in trouble in Qinzhou. I don't know if such a price can be paid. Make Xiao Guogong satisfied?" Li Qing stared at Xiao Weiran, and deliberately put Xiao Guogong's name before the court.

Xiao Weiran was shocked. In order to get Li Qing to send troops, the Xiao family spared no expense, even Bingzhou, but in exchange for Li Qing's empty covenant and the Guoshanfengyishan division moved to the border of Fuzhou. As a result of restraining King Ning's troops, now Li Qing is willing to send troops ahead of time for Tian Feng, a mere traitor. Li Qing actually attaches so much importance to Tian Feng?

"Lord Xiao knows that our Dingzhou is constantly in war, and the three-year war against barbarians has seriously damaged our vitality. Now the troops have only rested for less than half a year, and many troops have not even replenished their soldiers. At this time, we are willing to send troops To help Xiao Guogong is to express our sincerity to the greatest extent." Li Qing said slowly.

Xiao Weiran tidied up his somewhat messy thoughts, and suddenly many thoughts turned in his head, "Marshal Li wants to let Guo Shanfeng's troops leave Fuzhou?" At present, Li Qing's troops are only occupied by Guo Shanfeng's Yishan Division. Stationed on the border of Quanzhou, which had taken refuge with King Ning, to contain the troops of Quanzhou.

Li Qing shook his head, "The Mountain Crossing Department is undergoing training. It was impossible to send troops before this year. Currently, the defense is a little weak."

Xiao Weiran felt a little angry: "Marshal Li, since he is not from the Guoshanfeng Department, then the Marshal's subordinates still have the troops that can attack King Ning's subordinates. Jiang Kui's department is in Luofeng Changqi, Lu Dalin's department is in Bingzhou, and Wang Qinian's department is in Dingzhou. Zhou, can you let them fly over? Are you going to lie to me again, Marshal?"

Li Qing smiled, and didn't care about the other party's unreasonableness, but Shang Haibo on the side was a little annoyed, "Master Xiao's words are wrong, why is my commander lying to you, when did my commander stop talking? The Shankaze Department suffered heavy casualties and went to the border of the whole prefecture with a serious shortage of troops, do you know what risk they took? Besides, besides the land, does King Ning have no other place to attack?"

Xiao Weiran stared at Shang Haibo, chewing on Shang Haibo's words, his eyes lit up, "Could it be that your Fuzhou navy is ready to attack?"

"It's not about to attack, it's already launched!" Shang Haibo sneered. "The first part of the Fuzhou Navy has dispatched troops a month ago, circumnavigating half of the Great Chu, and arrived at the attack area."

Xiao Weiran stood up abruptly, "Is that true?" The Southern Navy has always been Luoyang, and it was Xiao's problem that was solved without washing. Now the Fuzhou Navy is attacking, targeting a problem that they cannot solve. He couldn't help being excited , and Deng Bolin these places are the traditional areas controlled by King Ning, extremely rich, and they are the granary and bank of King Ning. If wars are set off in these places and make Queen Ning's house restless, that would be wonderful!

Shang Haibo snorted coldly, but fell silent, picked up the teacup and began to sip it tastefully.Let Xiao Weiran stand there in embarrassment, neither standing nor sitting.

Lu Yiming looked at the other party's blushing face, and then smiled and said: "Master Xiao, please sit down. Last night, we just received the good news from the Fuzhou Navy. The former army of the Fuzhou Navy was in the dark. The Bozhou navy was wiped out on the water. Except for Zhong Xiang, the chief of the Bozhou navy, who escaped with a single ship, since Zhongxiang's son Zhongli, more than [-] Bozhou navy had been wiped out and removed from the Heishuiyang. Bozhou No longer fortify our navy!"

"Is that really the case, is it really the case?" Xiao Weiran completely lost his composure at the sudden joy. When he got to the chair, he jumped up again. Seeing the smiles of the three people opposite him, he realized it, smiled awkwardly, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I heard the good news suddenly, I lost my composure, I lost my composure, but this news from Marshal Li is really serious." Shi Potian is shocked, it has to be surprising! It's just that the information is not wrong?"

Shang Haibo lowered his face and said, "Could it be that Mr. Xiao suspects that our soldiers have lied about their military achievements? In my Dingzhou, this is an unworthy crime, unless the general in front loses his head."

Li Qing didn't think it was a confession, and said: "It's true, the messenger who reported the victory is still in my mansion at this moment, Master Xiao, do you want to call him to interrogate him carefully?"

Xiao Weiran waved his hands again and again, "No need, can I not believe what Marshal Li said?" He was overjoyed, and Li Qingshui's division brazenly attacked Ning Wang's navy division, which was completely tearing the face off with the opponent. Naturally, the land can't wait for long, and the conflict between the two sides will intensify. The situation that the two sides maintained before has been broken. Compared with this news, Tian Feng's defection is a trivial matter.

While being happy, he was already very shocked. From Li Qing's words, Xiao Weiran heard that it was not the main force of the Fuzhou Navy that wiped out the Bozhou Navy, but a former army. With a large fleet of more than [-] people, it disappeared into the Heishui Ocean without a sound. The strength of the Fuzhou Navy is too terrifying.

"With the destruction of the Bozhou navy, the hundreds of miles of coastal areas in Bozhou have become an undefended area for our army. Our navy carries part of the army and will conduct harassing attacks on the coast of Bazhou from time to time. At the same time, the navy will also Choose an opportunity to attack Linzhou or Dengzhou Navy, I wonder if the price I paid can be exchanged for the lives of General Tian Feng's family and family?" Li Qing said with a smile.

Xiao Weiran pondered and said: "Marshal Li, I have no right to make a decision on Tian Feng's matter, but since Marshal Li is so determined to return to Tian Feng's family, and has made compensation to the Xiao family for this, I dare not do anything else. Said, at least the lives of their family members have been saved, but as for whether they can come to Dingzhou, Duke Qi has to make the decision himself, I dare not speak in vain.”

"That's good!" Li Qing nodded and said, "I'm waiting for news from Duke Qi, and at the same time, please tell Duke Qi that on the day Tian Feng's family members arrive in Dingzhou, our Fuzhou Navy will launch an attack on the coast of Bozhou, destroying towns, villages, Roads, farmland, in short, destroy King Ning's war potential to the greatest extent."

Xiao Weiran understood Li Qing's words, if Tian Feng's family members did not arrive, then this kind of attack would definitely be postponed indefinitely.Standing up, he cupped his hands at Li Qing and said, "Since this is the case, Mr. Xiao will leave today. If he returns to Luoyang sooner, Li Shuai will get an answer sooner, and the Fuzhou navy will be able to attack Bobo sooner." The coast of the state." Xiao Weiran knew in his heart that the Xiao family could not refuse this kind of exchange at all, and could only be overjoyed. The lives of Tian Feng's family are nothing. Although Xiao Tianci is dead, Xiao Guogong has many grandsons. Finding a retrainer isn't too difficult.

Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming sent Xiao Weiran out of the house on behalf of Li Qing. Just as they stepped out of the lobby, two people came out from the lobby. Without saying a word, they knelt down in front of Li Qing, " Marshal Li, thank you for your kindness, I, Tian Feng, will sell my life to him from now on, and I am willing to fight for him for the rest of my life, until I die."

These two were of course Tian's uncle and nephew who had just arrived in Dingzhou. Seeing his uncle's statement, Tian Xinyu, who was kneeling behind Tian Feng, also said loudly: "The general is willing to die for the commander in chief!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, and helped the two of them up with one hand in each hand, "General Tian is serious, please sit down quickly!" Pushing Tian Fengqiang on the chair and sitting down, he said: "I have admired General Tian's name for a long time. Li Qingxi is very proud of being helped by the general, and I have heard about it for a long time that General Tian is the champion of the three armies!" Li Qing was proud, this kindness was well received, today Tian Feng and the two were placed in the back of the hall, just to let The two witnessed with their own eyes that Dingzhou paid a lot for the two of them, and Tian Feng is not a fool, how could anyone not understand what he meant?

"Marshal Li, the general knows nothing but marching and fighting, and please arrange an errand for Tian, ​​so that Tian can work for him!" Tian Feng clasped his fists and said.

Li Qing smiled and said: "There is no need to worry, General Tian, ​​I know that you have no choice but to leave the Xiao family. I am going to let you go to Luofeng. There is Jiang Kui's Changsheng teacher there. I want you to go to Changsheng." Master Sheng is the chief general, and Jiang Kui is the deputy, what do you think?"

Tian Feng was taken aback. The Changsheng Division Changsheng Battalion was Li Qing's old foundation when he started. This division's combat power and weapons equipment have always been the first in the Dingzhou Army. The division commander Jiang Kui It is Li Qing's direct lineage, how could he let himself be the master of Chang Sheng?Without hesitation, he said: "Commander, I have no objection to letting me go to the Changsheng Division, but I only want to be General Jiang's deputy. Although General Jiang is young, he is also a battle-hardened and rare general. I have always had prestige, if I were to replace General Jiang, I'm afraid it would be bad for the morale of the army, and it would not be beautiful!"

Li Qing nodded and said: "General Tian's words are also reasonable, if this is the case, then General Tian must be wronged."

Tian Feng said with a smile: "It's hard to repay the commander's kindness for what the general has done. Why should he be wronged? Even if the general goes to the army as an ordinary soldier, the general will be willing!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Li Qing's original intention was to let Tian Feng serve as Jiang Kui's deputy. With Tian Feng, an experienced, resourceful and decisive veteran at Jiang Kui's side, it can ensure that Master Changsheng can play to his full potential. With [-]% combat power, one of them has drive and the other has experience, which complement each other perfectly.

Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming sent Xiao Weiran back home, seeing the situation in the hall, they knew that the commander had already dealt with Tian Feng, they clasped their hands together and said: "General Tian, ​​welcome to Dingzhou, from now on we It's a family!"
