Horse on the World

Chapter 435
Ning Zechen left, and soon reached an agreement with Li Qing on the surrender of Luzhou. In fact, it was not an agreement. The conditions given by Qing were better than they had imagined. Generally speaking, no eggs would die under the overturned nest. Such a result is enough to make the people of Luzhou overjoyed. People in despair always It's easy to be satisfied.It's like a terminally ill person who knows that he can only live for a few days, he must feel very uncomfortable, but suddenly the doctor tells him that you can live for another year, so you can imagine the joy in his heart.Right now the people of Luzhou are the best reflection of this kind of mood. They are about to drown, and they suddenly grab a straw. Even if they know in their hearts that this straw is unreliable, they still have to hold on tightly. of.

After drinking enough, the generals returned to their respective barracks. Only Li Qing and Tang Hu Tiebao were left in the big tent. Li Qing half-closed his eyes, leaned on the tiger-skin chair, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Said: "Leopard, are you sure that Yuan Fang entered the Hou Mansion to meet the princess?"

Iron Leopard nodded, "Commander, that's right, the news from Dingzhou is like this, and Director Qingfeng also knows about it, now it seems that Director Qingfeng deliberately left Dingzhou to give Yuan Fang a chance , Director Qingfeng set up a trick, and originally wanted to capture Yuan Fang in one fell swoop, but Yuan Fangqi made a clever move, and Jin Chan escaped from the shell. Director Qingfeng missed the auxiliary car, and I heard that he was very annoyed!"

Li Qing chuckled: "Qing Feng has always had eyes above her head, and this time she suffered from Yuan Fang's depression. It is conceivable that she feels depressed, but this is also good, let her know that no one can underestimate her." .”

Iron Leopard and Tang Hu both laughed and said nothing, they were not qualified to comment on Director Qingfeng.

"Do you know what Yuan Fangdu said to Qingcheng?" Li Qing asked casually while flipping through the newspapers on the case.

Iron Leopard's expression changed slightly, "Forgive me, Marshal. Although Dingzhou has tried everything, they can't get close to that study room. You know that Yuan Fang's kung fu is too high, and if he gets too close, he will expose us." people."

Li Qing nodded, "It's better to be careful! In fact, I don't need to listen, I probably understand most of the content. I think Qingcheng must know the news that Emperor Tianqi is still alive at this time. Let her choose herself! The road is different. I went by myself."

"Marshal, Director Qingfeng has arranged a lot of people to monitor Princess Qingcheng."

"Let her go!" Li Qing waved his hand, but he was thinking about another problem. After Yuan Fang entered the Hou's mansion, Shang Haibo also entered the Hou's mansion. Was this Qingcheng's deliberate intention, or was it a coincidence, or was there some other reason? ?If it is said that Shang Haibo will betray him, Li Qing will never believe it, but if Shang Haibo has other small calculations, for example, in order to curb the forces of Qingfeng and Jiyue, will he join forces with Qingcheng to jump out? How about a dangerous wire dance?With Shang Haibo's risk-taking personality, it is quite possible.

Li Qing couldn't help frowning, Shang Haibo entered the Hou's mansion with great fanfare, and he didn't need to guess to know that he was deliberately doing it for others to see. Who did he want to show it to, was it himself or Qingfeng or all the other officials?Li Qing had some headaches. He was a military adviser with high intelligence and deep strategy, but he was good at making dangerous moves. Sometimes he even felt headaches. It seemed that he had to find a chance to have a good talk with him!
"Huzi, send my order back to Dingzhou to appoint Fu Zhengqing, the former financial secretary and director of the bond issuance department of Dingzhou, as the magistrate of Luzhou, and Long Xiaotian, the former county magistrate of Chongxian County, to take over Fu Zhengqing's current position!"

"Yes!" Tang Hu replied, and then smiled, "Commander, Long Xiaotian has been promoted again, and this move of the commander is excellent. Long Xiaotian has become the director of bond issuance, so don't worry about his rich old man. Bought bonds hard to support his son."

Li Qing laughed, "What nonsense? If Long Sihai was so stupid, how could he have the status he has today? He is smart. The promotion of Long Xiaotian has nothing to do with his father, but this kid has inherited his father's position." Excellent tradition, you can see that within two years of his arrival in Chong County, Chong County, an old mountainous area, has become a prosperous business, and the financial income is close to that of Xinyang, which Luo Daoming has been running for many years. You know that this kid is very talented in making money. It is also a good use of everything for him to be the director of these two departments!"

The promotion of Long Xiaotian was indeed due to his talent for making money, but it was Li Qing's deliberate intention to let Fu Zhengqing be the magistrate of Luzhou. He wanted to further improve Lu Yiming's status in Dingzhou. At the beginning of the incident, Li Qing's dependence on Shang Haibo far exceeded Lu Yiming's. That was because Li Qing's power was weak at that time, and he often had to use the weak to fight the strong, and the small to fight the big. This type of strategist has a long-distance layout and outrageous schemes. Every time he punches, he is above the enemy's waistline. Shen's governing style, one step at a time, is more mature, and Lu Yiming can understand himself better than Shang Haibo, while Shang Haibo always has an inexplicable distrust of himself. Either he was afraid that he would do this wrong, or he was afraid that he would do that wrong. What's even more ridiculous is that, now that the horoscope has not been written yet, this lovely military adviser has already worried about his successor for himself.

Li Qing chuckled and shook his head, Old Shang?

The night passed peacefully, no matter whether it was outside the city or inside the city, everyone knew that Luzhou had decided to surrender. , the trebuchets were being dismantled one by one, and outside the city, a large number of soldiers were also busy with construction. Outside the east gate of Luzhou City, the wall was quickly flattened, and the ground covered with human heads had been cleaned up and buried in the Under the ground, the tamped loess was trampled several times by a large team of cavalry until it was as hard as iron, and then it stopped.

Except for the people from both sides who were rushing to work overnight, the rest of the people inside and outside the city all had a rare good night's sleep.

When Li Qing woke up to the melodious sound of horns in the military camp, after washing up, and walked out of his big tent with all his clothes on, outside his big tent, under the leadership of Tian Feng, Jiang Kui and others, all the generals were wearing brand new armor , standing neatly outside, seeing Li Qing, led by Tian Feng, everyone gave Li Qing a military salute, "Congratulations, Commander, for taking Luzhou!"

Li Qing accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile, "Congratulations, without the hard work of all the generals, there would be no fruits of victory today. Now, we should go to pick the fruits."

Trumpets and drums sounded together, and a group of generals surrounded Li Qingchi and left the camp. Outside the camp, the whole army was organized into a neat formation. However, there was no battle today. Although the team was as imposing as a mountain, it lacked That soaring murderous aura.

Li Qing's cavalry ran a hundred paces away from the city, stopped, and after a while, the tightly closed gate of Luzhou city burst open. Headed by Xu Hongwei, all civil and military officials of Luzhou lined up in order of rank, Luoyi kept coming out.And Xu Hongwei, who was walking in the front, was holding the seal of Commander Luzhou and a stack of documents high in his hands.

Li Qing jumped off his horse and took a few steps forward. Tang Hu and Tie Bao, one on the left and the other on the right, pressed their waist sabers, but their eyes were fixed on the approaching team, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. At this time , be careful.

"The sinner, Xu Hongwei, has met Marshal Li. Xu Hongwei didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and tried to shake the tree in vain. He overestimated his capabilities. Now he is convicted!" Xu Hongwei's posture was very low today. When he saw Li Qing, his knees softened, About to kneel down, Li Qing laughed, took a step forward, and supported Xu Hongwei, "Marshal Xu, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero, you join the cavalry and save Luzhou from the disaster of swords and soldiers, and the people of Luzhou will be grateful to you , I, Li Qing, also want to thank you, if we really want to fight, these athletes of mine will be injured, so I feel very distressed!"

Xu Hongwei grinned, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying, "This is the seal of Commander-in-Chief of Luzhou and the household register of Luzhou residents, please check it with Marshal Li!"

Li Qing nodded, took the two things that symbolized the highest power in Luzhou, and threw them to Tang Hu behind him. Li Qing knew that these things were only in name, and that it was powerful to really get him the number one in Luzhou. The second is to effectively rule Luzhou, so that the people can live a good life, and the people will soon forget that Luzhou was taken by themselves.

"Marshal Li, please get on the horse, Xu will lead the horse and stirrup for him, and all the villagers in Luzhou City are welcoming him into the city!" Following Xu Hongwei's words, hundreds of soldiers in the city carried bundles of red carpets He ran out and spread the carpet from the city gate to Li Qing's body.

How could Li Qing let Xu Hongwei lead the horse and hold the stirrup for him at this time, the hundreds of thousands of people in the city are watching his attitude towards Xu Hongwei now, and his attitude towards him can be regarded as his attitude towards Luzhou Li Qing said with a smile: "Xu Shuai is serious, such things can be done by Xu Shuai, come here, bring Xu Shuai a horse, I want to enter the city side by side with Xu Shuai!"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Xu Hongwei waved his hands again and again, and Tang Hu on the side had already brought over a knife, and said in a buzzing voice: "Xu Shuai, my commander-in-chief doesn't like someone disobeying his wishes, please get on the horse, Tang Hu The tiger will lead the horse for you!"

Xu Hongwei glanced at Tang Hu, who had a fierce look on his face, trembled, and again and again confessed his crimes, then climbed onto the horse, Tang Hu and Tie Bao led Li Qing's and Xu Hongwei's horses respectively, and they rode side by side. enter.

On both sides of the street, a Luzhou soldier stood on guard every few steps, but at this time they were unarmed. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, Xu Hongwei ordered them to put all their weapons in the barracks. In this way, he showed his sincerity to Li Qing.Of course, it was also to prevent individual soldiers from taking the opportunity to plot evil. If such a person really jumped out, it would be difficult for him to be cleaned up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Behind the soldiers, the people of Luzhou were densely packed with fearful faces, and they were also worried about the unpredictable future.

Looking at Xu Hongwei with a flattering smile beside him, and looking at the panic-stricken people on both sides of the street, Li Qing suddenly became vigilant. Once a person in a high position fails, his fate will be extremely miserable. People like Xu Hongwei, It's just that I was lucky enough to meet myself, and I have another way to deal with these losers. If I change to another conqueror, the easiest way may be to kill the previous knife and do it neatly. If I don't work hard, I will If you keep working hard, you will end up in front of Xu Hongwei one day, I'm afraid you won't be as lucky as him.
