Horse on the World

Chapter 599 After the War
The city of Qinzhou was destroyed, Guo Zhen led the disabled soldiers to flee in a hurry, but Li Qing didn't bother to chase him. Thousands of disabled soldiers, panicked like a bereaved dog, hurried like a fish that slipped through the net, threw away their helmets and armor, and rushed towards Xingzhou madly go.

Although Guo Zhen escaped, he stayed in Qinzhou for more than ten days, but he bought rare time for Tianqi's main force. After Qiu Zhi's command was cut off, he made every step, and the whole army safely retreated to Xingzhou.

It was mid-February, and spring came earlier in the Central Plains. Just as a poet said, it was like a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloomed. It seemed that the weather suddenly became warmer overnight. The thick snow began to melt, and the snow water merged into a trickle, flowing down from the heights to the depression, and then towards the creek, which converged in the creek, and finally flowed into the ocean.

One winter, the earth, which is rarely seen in greenery, suddenly woke up. The tender green grass struggled to get out of the mud, swaying its weak figure in the wind, and the branches shook their bodies, throwing down the remaining snow. There is still a mottled flower hat on the top of the mountain in the distance, and the green body of the mountain has reappeared.

Li Qing didn't want to chase the enemy anymore. Firstly, it was because of investing a large amount of troops for this small group of remnants of the enemy. The income was not as good as the expenditure. It was too uneconomical. Even the war horses had to be careful of the hidden traps on the mud. If one accidentally broke a horse's leg, that good war horse would be useless.

Since the Dingzhou Incident, Li Qing's painstakingly planned strategy has been a great success. Although he lost Liaoshun and Shenzhou, he also gained Weizhou. What's more gratifying is that he occupied the strategic city of Qinzhou in one fell swoop.

After taking Qinzhou, first of all, Yizhou has obtained a guarantee of security, and no longer has to worry about being attacked by opponents at any time. Qinzhou has sheltered in front, and Gaizhou has mountains on one side. Just guard the lion pass, and it is almost But one man blocks the barrier, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Only I go out to beat others, and no one can touch my side.On the other side is Xingzhou. Yizhou, which was originally the place of the Fourth World War, was tightly surrounded in the middle. This gave Li Qing's ax strategy a strong support base. With Yizhou as the fulcrum, it could support Qinzhou can attack Xingzhou and Minzhou at any time, and can also turn to attack Qingzhou. The strategic initiative is in the hands of Dingzhou.

Before the change of Dingzhou, King Ning's southern army, which was already in danger and would be swallowed up at any time, got a rare respite. It can be said that this time the three-way battle has benefited King Ning the most. Becoming one of the top three, even among the top three, his strength is still the weakest, but it has to be said that King Ning still made a lot of money this time.From being as high as the sky, falling to almost perishing, King Ning finally straightened his posture. Don't talk about Li Qing, who is an outlier like Li Qing. Like Tian Qi, who was able to defeat him as a dark horse many years ago and ascend to the throne of God. As far as the city government is concerned, he is much stronger than him.King Ning, who had a clear understanding of the current situation, finally let go of his stance. On the basis of accepting the support of the Zeng family and the Lu family, he also married the Qiang people, the largest mountain tribe in his jurisdiction, in exchange for the support of the Qiang people. The intrusion of Qiang soldiers who are not afraid of death has also greatly alleviated the serious loss of King Ning's elite troops.

There are three legs, and no one dares to act rashly. Playing with fire by any one party may call for a pincer attack from the other two parties. This has brought a rare period of peace since the beginning of spring. The battle with millions of soldiers and millions of civilians has finally come to an end, and Dachu has ushered in a new pattern of three strong domination.

The most powerful Tianqi lost a lot this time, not only lost the strategic city of Qinzhou, but also lost a lot of strong soldiers under his command. Zhang Aimin's Minzhou army was almost completely wiped out, with only more than ten thousand soldiers, although this was the backbone , It is relatively easy to form a new army, but within three to five years, it is impossible to return to the former prosperity. What makes Tianqi even more depressed is that the Guowang Group under Li Qing's command swept Minzhou. Light, but left him with countless refugees and burned city walls and houses, all of which require him to spend real money to rebuild and appease him. Li Qing never planned to take Min state.So it was completely destroyed.

Even if he knew that this was Li Qing's policy to weaken himself, Tian Qi had no choice but to do it. People's hearts are like water, they can carry a boat or capsize it. Zhang Aimin is loyal, so he can't chill his heart.

Zhou Wenle's tens of thousands of troops in the left camp of the capital were defeated miserably, and even he himself was captured alive. Guo Zhen of the right camp defended Qinzhou for more than ten days. The battalion was almost abolished, and it was not something that could be completed in a short period of time if it was to be rebuilt.

What is even more worrying is that Li Qing failed to plot, but was plotted by Li Qing, not only took the life of his own sister, but also caused Li Qing to join forces with the Xiao family to send troops out of Xiegu, and the cavalry appeared at the capital city of Luoyang. This is a great shock to the hearts of the people in the area under the control of Tianqi. Countless people who were optimistic about Tianqi and wholeheartedly supported him had to re-examine their position. Should they be hanged from a tree, or should they grab a few more life-saving grass?These all require Tianqi to go back and clean up his hands.

After Lu Dalin and Xiao Yuanshan's allied forces left Xiegu and defeated Xiang Ping, a city wall was built in Xiegu's majestic land, and they planned to stay there for a long time. If they don't beat back the protruding claw, Luoyang will be everywhere at any time. Under the threat of the other party.There won't be any big battles for the time being, but Xiegu is going to be taken back at one point. Driving Xiao's army back to Youyan is another thing Tianqi has to do.

Steal chickens without losing money!Tian Qi was extremely depressed. This time, he cheated his death and concealed his name, planned incognito, and achieved great success in the early stage. He cleaned up the Xiao family, banned Xiao Haoran, and severely injured King Ning. A close.Leaving Zhou Tong guarding Xingzhou, Tianqi took Qu Yongjie, Qiu Zhi and others, and sadly returned to Luoyang.

With Zhou Tong guarding Xingzhou and being adjacent to Qinzhou, he must never forget to regain the land of Qinzhou. With this as the goal, Zhou Tong will definitely do his best. Although Xingzhou is good, it is not his home!Tens of thousands of Qinzhou's elite soldiers are still there, which still poses a great threat to Qinzhou and will restrain Li Qing's considerable troops.

But Zhang Aimin, who returned to Minzhou, suffered a big loss this time, but he was 12 points unconvinced. If he fought, even if the Minzhou army had a head-on confrontation with the Dingzhou army, it would not necessarily lose so badly. Zhang Aimin, who went to Minzhou, would of course be ready to avenge his revenge. With him around, Li Qing in Xingzhou would also have to garrison heavy troops.

At this time, in Northern Weizhou, although Tian Feng had many soldiers and horses, all the old soldiers from Dingzhou had been transferred away. A group of recruits had to deal with Lu Fengchun, who was greatly supported by the Zeng family and King Ning, and Li Qing would have to send troops to support him. Li Qing may only have one of Lu Dalin's troops that he can mobilize now, so Li Qing must not have many troops at hand.Tian Qi can take care of Xiao Yuanshan without stopping.After getting rid of this confidant's troubles, you can truly gather all your strength and have no worries.

As expected by Apocalypse, after the war, Li Qing decided to focus on Qinzhou as the strategic focus, and ordered his general Guo Shanfeng to be the governor of Qinzhou. Minzheng grasped it with one hand, except for the Yishan Division under Guo Shanfeng's original command, Li Qing brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Li family in Yizhou into Guo Shanfeng's command.

Qinzhou, facing south, can attack King Ning, and moving forward, can attack Xingzhou. There is also the possibility of being attacked by these parties at the same time. It is also expected that Li Qing, who decided to use Qinzhou as the starting point of the attack, stationed a large number of troops here.

Guo Shanfeng became the first general under Li Qing's command to have more than [-] soldiers.

Since all the Yizhou soldiers and horses were handed over to Guo Shanfeng, then Li Muzhi, Li Sizhi and other former Yizhou generals had to be transferred away, otherwise their prestige among the Yizhou soldiers, as well as their father-son, uncle-nephew relationship with Li Qing However, it is bound to be difficult to straighten out the relationship between the whole army, and the combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced.

And Yizhou, which took away the main battle force, will completely become the logistics base of Qinzhou. Li Qing abolished the administrative area of ​​Jinzhou and merged it into Yizhou. With his second uncle Li Muzhi as the governor of Yizhou, he will lead the people's livelihood in these two places. In politics, Wang Qinian's Qi Nian Division was stationed at the junction of the former Jinzhou and Minzhou to guard against Zhang Aimin in Minzhou.

Such an arrangement, in fact, also restricts the mountain wind to a certain extent.Qinzhou has gathered nearly [-] main combat troops, and its logistics basically depends on the input from Yizhou. With the huge number of soldiers in Dingzhou and the horrific expenditure on equipment, Qinzhou simply cannot support such a large army. .

As for the land of Youyan, Li Qing was already thinking of swallowing it in one gulp, but Xiao Yuanshan would still refuse to surrender, so Li Qing would withdraw from Lu Dalin's department. It will be easier to deal with Youyan, and when Xiao Yuanshan is at the end of his life, he is not afraid that he will not come to vote for him.Xiao Yuanshan is also a veteran who is used to fighting, if he can take it for his own use, Li Qing is also very happy, not to mention the huge territories of Youyan and Yan!

Now that he has this intention, after Lu Dalin retreats to Bingzhou, he can't stay away, and he must always be ready to rescue Xiao Yuanshan who is about to be beaten by Tianqi so that he can't find his way.

In the north, Li Qing couldn't help but hate the two clans of Lu Zeng. Although Tian Fengrui has tens of thousands of soldiers, most of them are still recruits and can't be used. , Growing up little by little in the less intense competition.

If you take mine, you will return it to me one day, and if you eat mine, you will have to spit it out one day, Li Qing looked at Dongfang and thought bitterly.

He turned his gaze back to Dingzhou. There, in his lair, there are still too many things waiting for him to deal with the aftermath. If he wants to do something, he must first sharpen his tools. If he doesn't straighten out internal relations, Dingzhou will eventually Difficult to become a master.

In addition, it is to rescue Chen Zeyue and his party who are still trapped in Baimadu.The intelligence personnel of the Statistics and Investigation Department reported that Chen Zeyue had broken a pair of legs and was disabled for life. Li Qing's heart ached when he thought of this incident.
