Horse on the World

Chapter 930
When the story of Guoshanfeng’s first move in Qingzhou was passed to Dingzhou, several cabinet ministers were furious. This was completely inconsistent with the strategy of the two wings first move formulated by the core of Dingzhou. The top leaders of Dingzhou, including Li Qing, I have a deep understanding of Shang Haibo's foresight at the strategic level. In the past few years, Shang Haibo has been committed to the implementation of the New Deal in the Luoyang control area. In the military, he seems to have no measures other than training the new army. But the more this is the case, the more difficult it is for Li Qing and others to understand and see clearly. They are not afraid of the enemy's movement. Once you move, the intention will naturally be clear. If you don't move, it will be unpredictable.
Shang Haibo will never do nothing on the military deployment. Two tigers contend for hegemony, and ultimately they have to rely on their fists to solve the problem. Military confrontation must be the final solution to the problem.

If Guoshanfeng fails in Qingzhou, it will inevitably endanger the safety of the entire Qinzhou. If there is a problem in Qinzhou, the entire Yizhou will be exposed to the enemy's soldiers. Now, his troops are deployed on the front line. Quanzhou and Yizhou are relatively empty.
If Shang Haibo's intention is to lure the mountain wind to take the bait, so as to form a breakthrough in Qinzhou, threaten Quanzhou and Yizhou, and force himself to deploy troops from the two wings to reinforce Qinzhou, and form a large-scale battle in the Qinzhou area , the decisive battle. ． ． ． ． ．Thinking of this, Li Qing stood up and stared at the huge map on the wall. If this is the case, then Shang Haibo's strategy was extremely successful.
If this is the case, it is conceivable that a large number of Luoyang soldiers and horses must have gathered in Xingzhou, Pingzhou, Suzhou and other places.

"Are you trying to kill me with crowd tactics?" Li Qing's mouth curled up with a sneer.
"My lord, for Guo Shanfeng's behavior, we must be severely punished." Yan Nanfei said sharply. "The lord is too conniving with his subordinates. Guo Shanfeng relies on his military exploits to act recklessly. If this kind of behavior is not resolutely stopped, if other generals in the theater follow suit in the future, then what's the point?"

Lu Yiming and Luo Daoming both nodded in agreement.
"Punishing him is something after the war, and now is obviously not the time." Li Qingdao: "Pass my order to Guan Xinglong. If Guo Shanfeng is in trouble in Qingzhou, he will immediately shrink the line of defense and abandon Xiaoaihe. Pavilion, the first line defense area of ​​Anfu Temple, the whole army retreated to Qinzhou City."
"Abandon the Xiaoaihe defense line?" Several cabinet ministers in the room were shocked, "My lord, if this happens, our previous efforts will be wasted. Guan Xinglong has [-] troops in his hands, and he can still defend it."
"Shang Haibo, I understand him. If you don't move, you will be done. If you move, it will be thunderous. Guan Xinglong has [-] troops in his hands, but they are scattered in Xiaoai River, Huting, and Anfu Temple. He can row to every place. How many people are there? If you guard everywhere, you will lose everywhere, but if you gather troops in one place, you can preserve your vitality and keep Qinzhou from being lost."

"Immediately order Guo Shanfeng to withdraw from Qingzhou. As long as Guo Shanfeng withdraws smoothly, we don't have to give up these places."
"It must be too late!" Li Qing shook his head and said, "Guoshanfeng may have penetrated deep into Qingzhou and arrived in Changhua. Once Changhua cannot be conquered, it will not be so easy to withdraw. I am most looking forward to it now." What's more, he was able to minimize losses. Hailing, Ruijian, Yizhou, and Feiling are all veteran troops of our army. If they suffer heavy losses, it will seriously hurt our army's vitality."
"I'm not afraid of being defeated hard, but the most important thing is supplies!" Lu Yiming's face was heavy, "Over the years, our army has relied heavily on logistics and supplies. The infantry is better, especially the cavalry. Once they lose supplies, The consequences could be disastrous."
Li Qing walked back to his big case, "It's not that easy for the opponent to completely wipe out Guo Shanfeng's tribe." Knocking on the table, he said: "As long as Guan Xinglong guards Qinzhou City, Guo Shanfeng will not come out." What a big problem. Even if he is sealed in Qingzhou, he still has other options, but Guan Xinglong is in a tight spot, and it is really difficult to spare any troops to help him in such a hurry."

"That's right, Qinzhou is mostly a plain, and it is indeed a little less to defend Qinzhou with [-] troops. Otherwise, Shang Haibo would not have chosen to hold a big battle there. Four Battalions of Soldiers."
"This is the result of Shang Haibo's painstaking efforts!" Li Qing said indifferently: "Originally, we planned to let Master Qi Nian go to Chen Zeyue, but now that this accident happened, we can't transfer them there for a while, let Qi Nian Let's move to Qinzhou, use Guan Xingyue Division and Qinian Division to attract Shang Haibo to mobilize more troops into Qinzhou, and now we can only pin our hopes on Ningzhou and Bozhou. If Fengli Division can After destroying the remnants of King Ning in a short period of time, they can enter Qingzhou to fight and merge with Guoshanfeng. If Lu Dalin's troops can tear through Qiu Zhi's troops and break through the Laihe defense line, hehe, that would be great. I'd like to see Look, how will the Luoyang army who entered Xingqin deal with it?"

"The topography of Shiwan Dashan is complex, and it may be difficult to destroy it in a short time." Luo Daoming said.
"Qingfeng has passed away. Judging from the information she sent back, there should be no problem. King Ning's health is no longer good. Qin Kaiyuan has great ambitions and talents, and it is difficult to control the situation. Malanhua is now powerful. Among the [-] mountains, the power has disappeared. He rose, but now we have the upper hand." Li Qing said with a smile.

"Although this is the case, I suggest that we still carry out large-scale pre-war mobilization in Quanzhou and Yizhou to reorganize reserve soldiers, just in case something goes wrong. At the same time, the return and reorganization of a large number of reserve soldiers can also It has created huge pressure on Luoyang."

"Shoufu is right. No matter how the Ningzhou side is fighting, we must prepare for the worst. It is definitely too late to mobilize troops from Dingzhou, but mobilization from Yizhou and Quanzhou, although the soldiers' ability It’s a little bit worse, but at least we can buy a certain amount of time to wait for the whole battle situation to change in our favour.” Yan Nanfei echoed.

"What the two of you said is an old-fashioned opinion, and I have no objection." Li Qingdao: "The cabinet will issue an order in conjunction with the five armies."

"Yes, my lord is wise."

"I'm going to go out of Dingzhou in the near future." Li Qing said.

Lu Yiming was startled: "My lord, you want to come to the front line again? This humble minister objects!"
"I also object!" Yan Nanfei said: "Although the form is sinister, overall, we still have the advantage. Where can you go to battle personally, my lord?"

"That's right, the lord himself has strictly forbidden the lord to fight in person, how can he take the lead in violating this rule?" Luo Daoming said.

Li Qing laughed, "Who said I'm going to the front line, I'm going out this time, mainly to visit Youyan, Quanzhou and other places, if the situation in Qinzhou is critical, I will go and have a look. Now, even if I want to fight a battle, it's unlikely, and I don't expect that. Don't worry!"

Hearing what Li Qing said, several important ministers felt relieved and left.

"Daddy, are you going to fight again? Can you take me with you?" An Min pulled Li Qing's clothes and looked at him eagerly. His face was covered with sweat. He had just come down from the martial arts arena, covered in mud and sweat.

"What can you do on the battlefield?" Li Qing laughed, and tapped An Min's knife, "Your knife is useless on the battlefield?"

"Why doesn't it work!" An Min raised the knife in his hand, "This knife is very sharp, I will go to the battlefield with my father, and I can protect my father!" Swishing it a few times, it was very vigorous.
Li Qing, Li Wen and others couldn't help laughing. "You have a good spirit, you are worthy of being my son!" Li Qing smiled and took An Min's hand, "However, we have to wait until you grow up, because you are still too young."

Jiyue came over, took An Min by the hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat and dirt off An Min's face, and said, "My lord, An Min is almost ten years old, and he's not too young. If my lord wants to, I can take him there. It's good to see, boy, it wouldn't hurt to let him see some gold and iron horses."
Li Qing glanced at her in surprise, "Are you willing?"
"If you don't peck jade, you can't become a weapon. How can you become a talent without some training?" Jiyue laughed. "Flowers and plants raised at home are not as vigorous as those in the mountains and fields."

Li Qing looked at Ji Shi who also came down from the martial arts arena with a smile, and said, "Second brother, elder brother is willing to follow me to the battlefield, how about you, do you want to go?"
Ji Shi tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "My son really wants to go, but just like what Daddy said, the son is still a little younger, so it can only be Daddy's trouble to go, and when the son grows up, he will go for Daddy." Charge forward!"
Li Qing laughed, "When you grow up, there will be no more battles to fight."
Ji Shi shook his head and said, "A few days ago, I heard from my master that my Dingzhou navy is expanding overseas. Even if we don't have to fight here, I can still go overseas to expand the territory for my father."

"Not bad, good idea." Li Qing laughed, "Xinyi, what about you, didn't you always want to be a female general?"

"If Daddy is willing to take me, I'll go, if Daddy doesn't want to take me, I won't go." Ji Yue crisply said.
Bao'er came up, stroking her pregnant belly, and said worriedly: "My lord, how long will it take you to go?"

Li Qingdao: "It won't take long, and I will definitely be back during the Chinese New Year. Don't worry, you, you will only give birth in February and March of the new year. When the time comes, I will definitely be by your side."

Bao'er blushed, "I didn't mean that, but Sister Yanran, she was a few months earlier than me?"

Li Qing looked at Yan Ran with her bulging stomach, and nodded, "Don't worry, it's rare for us to get together today, so let's all have a meal together."

"Okay, okay!" Bao'er clapped her hands and said, "During this time, Dr. Huan forbade me to eat more greasy things, and talked about a lot of medical theory and medical skills, which I couldn't understand, but it made me hungry. With the prince here, I can have a good meal."
Li Qing scratched her nose, "That said, it seems like the mansion is mistreating you. What's the reason for Doctor Huan? It's right for a healthy person to eat it! Why don't you let it be eaten?"
"Huan genius doctor said, said..." Baoer's face suddenly turned red.Twitching and not speaking.
Li Qing glanced at Bao'er, and suddenly understood in his heart. "So that's what Mr. Huan said. Eat less!"
