Horse on the World

Chapter 840

Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen were full of fear at this time. After listening to the conversation between Guo Quan and Li Qing, they realized that Guo Quan was originally a soldier in Dingzhou. Hearing Li Qing mention their names suddenly, his legs couldn't help shaking a little. He pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillars down and prostrated himself on the ground, "Sinful general Liang Yi, Uncle Zhou pays his respects to Marshal Li."

Li Qing said with a smile: "What are you two guilty of?"

Liang Yi looked up at Li Qing with some trepidation: "The last general is guilty. He has led the army to fight against the heavenly army many times. His hands and hands have also been stained with the blood of the heavenly army. I implore Marshal Li to punish him."

Li Qing stepped forward, helped the two of them up, and said: "In the past, you were the generals of the Zeng Department, and each of you was your master. There is no crime or innocence. The army has made great achievements, and even fought bloody in the battle of Shiliwan. More than one-third of the subordinates were killed or injured, and they refused to retreat. They blocked tens of thousands of southern troops in Shiliwan, and made great contributions to our army's complete annihilation of the southern army. Is Li Qing the generation who can't tell the merits of the two generals? I, Li Qing, remember the merits of the two generals. I will lead my troops under Guo Quan's command, do you two agree?"

Both Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen were overjoyed, they knelt down again and kowtowed again and again, "I am willing to serve the Lord in killing the enemy under General Guo's command."

"Get up, get up, we are all family!" Li Qing laughed loudly. "This time to recover Liaoshen, I have already decided that Guo Quan will be the vanguard. Your soldiers are all Liaoshen natives. There are also Zeng's children who have surrendered in the army. I must do more with less. I have already ordered Zhang Zhuyuan to enter Shenzhou City. , These days, there are frequent reports of good news. Along the way, they are almost on the lookout, and there are occasional resistances. Under the attack of our army, the ice melts and disintegrates. After Zhang Zhuyuan arrives in Shenzhou City, he will wait for you to catch up. Guo Quan, Zhang Zhuyuan temporarily edited Joining your command, I hope you can settle down quickly and take over Shenzhou, and when our army is assembled, we will march to Liaozhou and completely pacify the East."

"The last will obey!"

"The Marine Corps, led by Zheng Zhiqiang, has now gone up the river and cut through the Liaoshen area. You should cooperate well with them when you go."

"Yes, my lord! General Zheng is acquainted with the last general. I never thought that I would cooperate with him this time!" Guo Quan said with a smile: "When we meet General Zheng, we must have a good time together."

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Alcohol is banned in the army. If you two dare to conspire to get drunk, be careful that your ass will be smashed by me. Go ahead and go. After taking down Liaozhou City, I promise you two to have a good drink!"

"Thank you my lord!"

"Guo Quan, bring Zeng Chong to see me tonight." Li Qing added abruptly.

A few days later, Wei Xin's troops arrived first, and ten days later, Lu Dalin's troops also arrived in Quancheng. Except for Tian Feng's troops, which still needed a few days, Quancheng had gathered nearly [-] troops.

"My lord." Lu Dalin said to Li Qing happily, "My lord, we have conquered the East in the first battle. After taking control of Liaoshen, we have already formed a semi-encirclement of the Central Plains. In a few years, we will be able to jump into the Central Plains."

"Ninety to one who travels a hundred miles." Li Qingdao: "The next step will be difficult. The Central Plains has developed rapidly in the past two years, especially after Shang Haibo entered the Luoyang government. Whether it is government efficiency or the formation of a new army in Luoyang , are all very effective, and Shang Haibo is farsighted and extraordinary in terms of military strategy. We took a small advantage, but then fell into a stalemate. Chen Zeyue was under a lot of pressure, Zhou Tong in Xingzhou, and Zhang Aimin in Minzhou. Although they have suffered consecutive defeats in our hands in the past few years, the two have suffered for a long time. One wise, growing rapidly, surpassing the general this time is suffering from underestimating the opponent, we must take this as a warning, and we must not take it lightly."

Lu Dalin nodded, "I also saw the mansion report from Dingzhou. King Ning trapped and killed Mata, Prince Ning's son marched into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Qingzhou Qiang soldiers collapsed, General Guo got the news a bit late, but Zhou Tong was We have been prepared for a long time. Compared with the two, it is understandable that the general is under-prepared. Although we only grabbed a few counties in Qingzhou, with these few bridgeheads, we nailed a few Nails will be of great benefit in future wars."

Li Qing snorted, "That's not the way to say it. I can't grab a few strongholds in Qingzhou, and I can't occupy a larger territory. That's not the reason why I'm angry. What I'm angry about is that Guoshan Feng was caught in an ambush by Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong severely calculated a battalion of 5000 people and nearly [-] people died in battle. Guo Shanfeng did not guard against this beforehand, which made me very unhappy. I have already written to Guo Shanfeng personally. , these years, the mountains and rivers have been smooth and smooth, and he has almost never lost a battle, but it has fostered some pride in him, and he underestimated the heroes of the world. With such a mentality, how can I rest assured that he will be in charge of Qinzhou and take the banner of attacking the Central Plains? ?”

Lu Dalin accompanied him with a smile and said: "General Guo is still young after all, after this defeat, the lord personally taught him a lesson, I think he will take this as a warning, quit being irritable, this is also a good thing, after all, victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs Well, a small defeat doesn't affect the overall situation. General Guo is a general under the lord's command, so it's enough for the lord to reprimand him, but it's not good to embarrass him too much."

Li Qing nodded, "You are right. Although I was very upset, I just reprimanded him. I didn't punish him on the bright side. I was afraid that he would be too careful and overcorrect. That's not good. This time Luoyang has occupied most of Qingzhou, and Shang Haibo has transferred tens of thousands of new troops to Xingqing and Qingzhou.

"My lord, Shang Haibo sent heavy troops into Xingqing and Qingzhou prefectures. I'm afraid his intention is not just to confront General Guo. I guess he is going to enter the south and compete with us for the southern territory?" Lu Dalin pondered: "Prince Ning The meaning of trapping and killing Mata is already obvious. He is unwilling to completely take shelter under Luoyang, and he is so powerful. Even if he takes care of Luoyang, Tianqi may not be able to accommodate him, and his use value has been drained Now, King Ning is not Yi Yi's generation, and he will not fail to see this, so he killed Mata, occupied the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and used the Hundred Thousand Mountains as a base to deal with us again. I'm afraid that Tian Qi and Shang Haibo would also We have seen that the south is now empty, so we must seize the south before us."

"You're right, I thought of this too, but we are still far away in Quanzhou. Although Guo Shanfeng has nearly 10 people under his command, the confrontation with Zhou Tong consumed too much of his troops. There are not many troops that can maneuver. If we compete with the opponent for territory, we may fall into the opponent's tricks again. Right now we can't deploy more troops to support him. It is really a headache. We can only speed up as soon as possible. Only by ending the battle in the east can we free up our hands to deal with Luoyang." Li Qing rubbed his head and said in distress.

"The Central Plains is vast, rich in resources, and has a large population. We can't compare with it." Lu Dalin said: "Shang Haibo, with the support of Tianqi, has implemented new policies, amassed wealth, and trained new troops in the past few years. The troops they can mobilize are indeed richer than we are."

Li Qing snorted a few times, "Shang Haibo completely copied Dingzhou's new policies, and this year he also began to issue national bonds, forcing wealthy families and gentry businessmen to buy them. According to reports from the Overwatch Council, the Central Plains is full of complaints and dark turmoil. The nails planted in the Central Plains have already begun to come alive, but they have not yet become a climate, and under the strong suppression of Shang Haibo, they cannot raise their heads, but a single spark can start a prairie fire, and one day it will become a prairie fire."

Lu Dalin smiled and said: "That's right, Shang Haibo learned everything from Dingzhou, but some of the essence of the New Deal can't just be learned, like businessmen, the lord has given them a very high political status, and even let them participate in politics Discussing the state affairs, and opening up financial resources for them, looking for new ways to make money, that's why they enthusiastically bought Dingzhou bonds. Shang Haibo couldn't learn these things. Even if he wanted to learn, he couldn't promote them. These flaws It is enough to make him suffer a lot in the future, and my lord, you got that king of Zhou, which is a wonderful move. Now the Shilin Qingliu of the Central Plains is much less scolding us. The handed down jade seal is in our hands, even if they want to scold them, they don’t have that much confidence, since the king of Zhou came to Dingzhou, the number of scholars who voted from it has doubled!”

Li Qing smiled complacently, "Letting King Zhou come back is not for now, but for the future. After we flatten the Central Plains, governing the world is much more difficult than conquering the world. Now I have a cloud of famous generals, and countless powerful generals. It's a good place for them to go to war on horseback, but let them govern the world, and it won't be a mess. To rule the world, you have to rely on scholars. Although I hate these guys sour, there is no way, I have to grit my teeth , trying to please them in different ways. Thinking about it, it’s really boring.”

Hearing what Li Qing said was interesting, Lu Dalin couldn't help laughing, "My lord is right, to govern one side, and to take care of the herdsmen in the future, I really have to let them and the scholars do it. And these people look weak, but they are really a little Tough ones, if they are not shaken from the root, they will never turn back. For example, Mr. Lin, the leader of the Central Plains Qingliu, is a representative of them, so I say that the lord's move is excellent."

Hearing Lu Dalin mentioning the old Mr. Lin, Li Qing frowned slightly. After meeting this old man that night, Li Qing really didn't like this guy, but when it came to Mr. Lin, Li Qing Instead, he thought of Qingfeng, "Li Wen, the Dingzhou Mansion reported that Qingfeng had gone to Ningzhou, and now there is a panic there, what is she going there for? She has such a big goal, Zhong Ziqi is not easy to provoke, What if there is an accident? I think Qingfeng has the same problem as Guoshanfeng."

Li Wen rolled his eyes a few times, he couldn't comment on Qingfeng's situation, "Principal Qingfeng always makes decisions before acting, and he has gone and returned calmly when he has been in and out of dangerous situations several times over the years. What's the danger?"

Li Qing thinks about it too, except for the last time when he was almost caught by the rout, Qingfeng really hasn't suffered a big loss, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, Li Wen, what happened to the thing I asked you to prepare? "

Li Wendao: "Everything is ready, my lord is ready to leave at any time."
