Horse on the World

Chapter 489 Guess
Lu Weixiong died in battle, and the entire Shunzhou suddenly fell into an avalanche situation. Not long after the Northern Army occupied Shunzhou, the local rule itself was not very strong, and the garrison was only to maintain local law and order. Zheng Zhiqiang was able to lead [-] marines across four counties and occupy Linzhao in one fell swoop, which can be seen from the death knell of Lu Weixiong.

Lu Weixiong's entire army was wiped out, and Lu's weak rule in Shunzhou suddenly collapsed. The Dingzhou army did not have to do anything. Wherever it passed, local officials garrisoned or fled or surrendered. At that time, Dingzhou striker Chang Shengshi Wang Yan's troops had reached Quanying's defense line and successfully joined forces with Zeng Yifan.

So far, Li Qing has occupied the northern territory of the Lu family across the board, and has also taken Shunzhou into his arms. Although he is an ally with the Zeng family, it is still uncertain whether Shunzhou will return or not. Of course, he can also go first It was returned to them in name, and it was agreed that they would re-appoint local officials to restore the rule. However, Zeng obviously couldn't maintain enough garrisons in the local area now. For the garrisons, Dingzhou had to come to help.Being able to garrison troops justifiably, Dingzhou can maintain a loud enough voice here, laying a foreshadowing for future events.

As for Lu Fengchun, who is still dying in Shenzhou, Li Qing no longer regards him as a threat. One hundred thousand troops live in Shenzhou, and how to solve the problem of survival is enough for them. What is doubtful is that when I was in Dingzhou, I tried my best and tried my best, but I couldn't afford to support an army of [-]. What's more, Shenzhou is still a disabled landlord, and the local financial resources are almost exhausted. The flames of war broke out everywhere, and once the Dingzhou army arrived, they joined forces with the Zeng family, and they had the upper hand in terms of strength alone, so it was no problem to deal with him.

On the way to Quanying's defense line, Li Qing was already planning for the elimination of Lu Fengchun's troops.

After annexing the North, the Zeng family will definitely keep it for the time being. Indeed, if the Zeng family and his son are smart enough, they will know how to do it. Attached to Dingzhou Yiwei, I will never let them die. Can't move, King Ning is still dragging Tianqi's large number of elite troops!Moreover, it is impossible for King Ning to compromise with Tianqi. All the heroes in the world, whoever surrenders to Tianqi, can at least be safe and secure. The ending of a rich life is only impossible for King Ning. There is only one ending for him to surrender, and that is death.

The eyes should turn to the Central Plains.Should I recuperate first and accumulate strength, or should I strike while the iron is hot and hit my heart directly?This is a question worth thinking about.

Although the territory he owns now is located in a remote place, Li Qing believes that with his own knowledge and Dingzhou's complete governance ability, even if Tianqi sits in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it will not be in the future. The strength of Dingzhou will also be greatly improved, approaching or even surpassing the Central Plains.Tian Qi is very powerful, but his power is limited to playing political means and manipulating the general trend of the world. He can't compare with himself in terms of people's livelihood and economy.If the two parties form a confrontational situation, as time goes by, the advantages will gradually tilt to themselves.

Do you take the initiative to attack, or wait for Tianqi to find out that something is wrong, and then hit him head-on when he hits the door, and then take advantage of it?Li Qing couldn't make up his mind for a while.The current situation is very beneficial to me. The two sharp blades of Ning Wang and Xiao Yuanshan are on Tian Qi's heart. Today, Qi Qi seems to have squeezed the land of the Central Plains. In fact, if he is negligent, another tree will fall and the monkey will fall apart. fate.

When they reached Laiwu, Qingfeng also caught up.Li Qing was a little surprised when he saw Qingfeng's specially-made carriage.

"At this time, why did you come here, or what happened in Dingzhou?" Li Qing looked a little serious.

Qingfeng shook her head, "Everything is fine in Dingzhou."

"How is Qin Ming now, can he go to the ground?"

Qingfeng said with a smile: "I have already started to watch things on crutches, and the troops have also started to reorganize and prepare to go west. However, seeing how he looks like, it will take ten days and a half months to really set off."

Li Qing nodded, "Tell Yang Yidao to keep an eye on Qin Ming when he leaves Shanglinli."

"Yes, General, I am here this time because of another matter."

"You said."

"General, do you still remember the last time we cooperated with Zhong Ziqi from King Ning's department?"

"Of course I remember, the success fell short. Didn't you say that Zhong Ziqi lost a lot of money in this battle? Could it be that he is not poor and came to trouble you?" Li Qing joked authentically.

Qingfeng smiled and said: "Zhong Ziqi would be so stupid. He was willing last time. Now that King Ning is in a difficult situation, he is expecting us to share the pressure with them. Then he will come to trouble us. Report from your mansion, for some time now, the Pang Jun navy who has been going out to sea to provoke Deng Peng has retreated into the port and completely handed over the control of Heishuiyang, their attitude is already very obvious."

Li Qing nodded, "I know this. Then why are you here this time?"

"Since the last cooperation, we have carried out some small-scale, low-level cooperation with Zhong Ziqi. A few days ago, we received news from the other party's hometown, and they discovered that Yuan Fang appeared in Shenzhou and Liaozhou. .” Qingfeng said in a low voice.

Li Qing was slightly surprised, "They found out, but your investigation department didn't find anything unusual?"

"Marshal, although the Department of Statistics and Fruit Research has developed rapidly in the past few years, after all, it has not been long, and penetration in some places has not been very successful. Unlike Zhong Ziqi and the others, who have been operating for many years, many dark lines are in extremely important positions. So it's normal for them to get some information that we don't know about." Qingfeng argued.

As soon as Li Qing's words came out, he realized that his words were a bit heavy. Qingfeng has indeed exhausted his mind to develop the Statistics and Investigation Department to its current scale. It is impossible for anyone to achieve this scale within a few years. Can't pick a single thorn from the breeze.

"We have placed a lot of eyeliner in Shenzhou and Liaozhou, but Yuan Fang is still out of control in these two places, even leaving us ignorant. If Zhong Ziqi's information is true, then I am very worried. One thing." Qingfeng stared at Li Qing with two beautiful big eyes, but there was worry in his eyes.

Li Qing clenched his fists, and he also thought of Qingfeng's worries. Under the deliberate arrangement of the Statistics and Investigation Department, he could successfully hide their words. In today's Shenyang and Liaozhou, the forces that can do this are There is only one family, and that is Zeng's.

"Are you worried about Yuan Fang's connection with the Zeng family?"

"Yes!" Qingfeng nodded. "General, it's not a secret that we covet the eastern territory. The Zeng and his sons are not fools. Of course, they also know it well. However, the previous situation forced them to do it as a last resort. Now that the Lu family is in decline, it is no longer the Zeng family. Zeng's threat, if we want to fight back, we will become their biggest enemy, the general must be on guard against Zeng when he goes."

Li Qing closed his eyes, leaned against the wall of the car, and thought for a moment, "It is very possible that Zeng's connection with Tianqi is very likely, but in my opinion, there is no need to worry about it for now. If they want to attack, they have to wait until Lu Fengchun is eliminated." Hmph, but even if they want to turn their backs, they must have this strength."

Of course Li Qing is confident. Now his combat troops moving towards the Quanying line of defense has reached [-] people, and all of them are elite soldiers from Dingzhou. The Tuojiang River is completely under his control, and the navy can attack anyone at any time. The place, Anshun Port, is even more connected to the core of the Zeng family's rule. If the Zeng family wanted to turn against each other, they had to consider the consequences of Dingzhou's counterattack.

Seeing Li Qing's confident expression, Qingfeng calmed down a little, but still had a worried expression on his face, "General, Tianqi is the best at planning, and Yuan Fang is the best executor of his layout. Yuan Fang is missing." After such a long time, if he has been in Shenliao all the time, then I doubt that if he stays for such a long time, is it possible that what they planned has already taken shape or is already being implemented?"

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "Can your eyes and ears in Shenzhou detect any strangeness in the situation or form of the battle there?"

Qingfeng shook his head, "No, everything is normal. Some time ago, when we besieged Weizhou, Lu Fengchun mobilized a large number of troops to attack Quanying's defense line, but Zeng Yifan was well prepared and defended it tightly. Contacted the rebel army in Shenzhou, harassed the northern army's logistics, and attacked the area controlled by the northern army, Lu Fengchun had no choice but to retreat."

"Deng Peng once reported that the largest group of these rebels is controlled by us?" Li Qing asked.

Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, this is a batch of seeds sowed by the order of Zheng Zhiyuan, the naval general. There were a total of 3000 school captains, most of whom died, and only a team led by a school captain named Guo Quan The rebel army survived, and later brought together several remaining captains of the Marine Corps to form the most powerful rebel army in Shenzhou, with a combat force of about [-] people in their hands, and the navy also tried to get some for them. equipment."

"Not bad!" Li Qing said approvingly: "To survive and develop in such a difficult environment, this person can be reused in the future."

Qingfeng smiled and said: "Well, Zeng Yifan went to win him over a few days ago, and he took advantage of the situation and knocked out a lot of equipment. This person is indeed very clever."

"Don't show off this team for the time being, just hide it!" Li Qingdao: "Actually, I'm not worried about what kind of tricks the Zeng family will play in the future. What I'm most worried about is that there will be problems in this battle to encircle and wipe out Lu Fengchun. Have you thought about it?" However, how likely is it that Lu Fengchun will collude with the Zeng Society?"

"This is impossible!" Qingfeng was taken aback, subconsciously pushed her legs hard, and wanted to stand up, but forgot that she was in the carriage at this time, with a bang, her head hit the roof of the carriage heavily, and she fell down. , put his hands on the top of his head, tears were streaming down from the pain, but his mouth was still open, "Is this impossible?"

Li Qing stretched out his hand distressedly, rubbed Qingfeng's head lightly, and said thoughtfully: "Nothing is impossible, Lu Fengchun's army has now become a water without a source, a tree without a root, and its demise is It's a certainty, doesn't he want to find a way out?"

"If this is the case, what should we do?" Qingfeng was a little nervous.

"Let's talk about it after meeting with Zeng Yifan!" Li Qing said calmly, "You can always see some clues!"
