Chapter 488: Speculation

Lu Weixiong was killed in battle, the whole Shunzhou suddenly showed an avalanche situation, the northern army occupied Shunzhou not long ago, the local rule itself was not very solid, the garrison was only to maintain local law and order, the total combat strength was almost equal to nothing, this can also be seen from Zheng Zhiqiang can lead the 5,000 sailors across the four counties, in one fell swoop to occupy Linzhao, thus ringing the death knell of Lu Weixiong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lü Weixiong's whole army was destroyed, Lü's weak rule in Shunzhou collapsed, the Dingzhou army effortlessly, where it passed, the local officials garrisoned or fled or surrendered, occasionally low resistance, but also sporadic formation, by the end of September, Dingzhou forward Changsheng division Wang Yan had hit the Quanying defense line, and Zeng Yifan victoriously joined the division.

At this point, Li Qing occupied the northern territory of the Lu clan on the whole line, and took Shunzhou into his arms, although he was an ally with the Zeng family, but this Shunzhou was still between the two or not, of course, it could also be returned to them in name first, and it was agreed that they would reappoint local officials to restore their rule, but the Zeng clan was obviously unable to maintain enough garrisons in the local area now, and this garrison had to be helped by Dingzhou. can justifiably garrison the army, and Dingzhou will be able to maintain a loud enough voice here, laying a foreshadowing for future things.

As for Lu Fengchun, who is still dying in Shenzhou, Li Qing no longer sees him as a threat, 100,000 troops live in Shenzhou, how to solve the problem of survival alone is enough for them to have a headache, how much combat power can be maintained, it is really doubtful, when he was in Dingzhou, he tried his best, tried his best, and could not afford to raise an army of 100,000, not to mention that Shenzhou is still a disabled landlord, the local financial resources are almost exhausted, and the beacon fire is everywhere in the territory, it is no longer a problem to clean him up.

On the way to Quanying's defense line, Li Qing was already planning for the problem after eliminating Lu Fengchun's department.

After the annexation of the north, the Zeng family must be kept for the time being, if the Zeng father and son are smart enough, they will definitely know what to do, attached to the wing tail of Dingzhou, they will never let them end up, and the king of Ning in the south can't move for the time being, and King Ning is still dragging a large number of elite troops of the Apocalypse! And it is impossible for King Ning to compromise with the Apocalypse, all the heroes in the world, whoever surrenders to the Apocalypse can at least keep a peaceful and prosperous life, but King Ning is impossible, there is only one ending for him to surrender, and that is death.

It is time to turn your gaze to the Central Plains. Do you recuperate and accumulate strength first, or strike while the iron is hot and go straight to the heart? It's a question worth pondering.

Although the territory he owns now is located in a remote place, Li Qing believes that with his own knowledge and the complete governing ability of Dingzhou now, even if Tianqi sits in the hinterland of the Central Plains, in the future development, the strength of Dingzhou will be greatly improved, close to or even surpassing the Central Plains. Apocalypse is very powerful, but his power is limited to playing political means and manipulating the general trend of the world, and he cannot compare with himself in terms of people's livelihood and economy in any way. If the two sides form a confrontation situation, over time, the advantage will gradually tilt towards themselves.

Do you take the initiative, or wait for the apocalypse to find out that something is wrong, and then attack him when he comes to the door, and then take advantage of the situation? Li Qing was unsure for a while. The current form is very advantageous to himself, King Ning and Xiao Yuanshan are two sharp blades on the heart of the Apocalypse, such as today Qi seems to have pinched the land of the Central Plains, in fact, as long as the slightest negligence, it will be another end of a tree falling and scattering.

When I walked to Laiwu, the breeze also caught up. When he saw Qingfeng's special carriage, Li Qing was a little surprised.

"At this time, why did you come here, or did something happen in Dingzhou?" Li Qing's expression was a little serious.

Qingfeng shook his head, "Everything is fine in Dingzhou. ”

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

Qingfeng said with a smile: "I have already started to look at things on crutches, and the troops have begun to reorganize and prepare to move west, but I look at him like that, if he wants to really set off, it will take ten days and half a month." ”

Li Qing nodded, "Tell Yang Yidao, wait for Qin Ming to come out of the forest, and keep an eye on him." ”

"Yes, General, I'm here because of something else."

"You say."

"General, do you remember the last time we cooperated with Zhong Ziqi of the Ning Wangbu?"

"Of course I remember, I 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 in his heart and came to you for trouble?" Li Qing joked.

Qingfeng said with a smile: "Zhong Ziqi will be so stupid, he was also willing last time, now King Ning is in a difficult situation, and he is looking at us to share the pressure on them, then he will come to us for trouble, general, didn't you read the newspaper sent to you, for a period of time, the Pang Junshui Division, who had been going to sea to provoke Deng Peng, has retracted back into the harbor and completely surrendered the control of Heishuiyang, and their attitude is already obvious." ”

Li Qing nodded, "I know this." So why did you come this time? ”

"Since the last time we cooperated, we have carried out some small-scale, low-level cooperation with Zhong Ziqi, and a few days ago, we received news from each other's hometowns that they found traces of Yuan Fang's appearance in Shenzhou and Liaozhou." Qingfeng whispered.

Li Qing was slightly surprised, "They found out, but your investigation department didn't find any abnormality?" ”

"Dashuai, although the statistics of the fruit division has developed rapidly in recent years, after all, the time is not long, and the penetration in some places is not very successful, unlike Zhongzi period, they have been operating for many years, and many dark lines are in a very important position, so it is normal for them to get some situations that we don't know." Qingfeng argued.

As soon as Li Qing's words came out, he realized that his words were a little heavy, the Statistical Survey Department can develop to today's scale, Qingfeng has indeed tried his best, and he can achieve this scale in a few years, and no one can pick out Qingfeng's thorns.

"We have arranged a lot of eyeliner in Shenzhou and Liaozhou, but Yuan Fang is still out of control in these two places, and even let us know nothing, if Zhong Ziqi's information is true, then I am very worried about one thing." Qingfeng opened two beautiful big eyes and looked at Li Qing brightly, but there was a worry in his eyes.

Li Qing clenched his fists, and Qingfeng's worries also thought that if he could successfully conceal them under the deliberate arrangement of the Statistical Survey Department, there was only one force that could do this in the two prefectures of Shen and Liao today, and that was the Zeng clan.

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

"Yes!" Qingfeng nodded. "General, in fact, it is not a secret that we covet the eastern territory, the Zeng father and son are not fools, of course, they also know it, they can't know that they were forced by the previous situation, so they had to do it, and now the Lu family is declining, and it is no longer a threat to the Zeng family, if you want to rebel, we will become their biggest enemy, the general is here, and we can't help but guard against the Zeng family."

Li Qing closed his eyes, leaned against the wall of the car, and thought for a moment, "It is very possible that the Zeng clan is colluding with the Apocalypse, but in my opinion, there is no need to worry about it for the time being, they just want to have a seizure, and they have to wait until after eliminating Lu Fengchun." Hmph, but even if they want to turn their faces, they have to have this strength. ”

Of course, Li Qing is confident, and now the combat troops he is moving to the Quanying defense line have reached 70,000 people, and all of them are the elite of Dingzhou, Tuojiang is completely under his control, and the sailors can counterattack anywhere at any time, Anshun Port is connected to the core of Zeng's rule, and Zeng's wants to turn against him, so he has to consider the consequences of Dingzhou's counterattack.

Qingfeng looked at Li Qing's confident expression, and his heart was a little calmer, but his face was still worried, "General, the Apocalypse is the best at layout, and Yuan Fang is the best executor of his layout, Yuan Fang has been missing for so long, if he has been in Shen Liao all the time, then I am very suspicious, he has not stayed for such a long time, is it that the things they planned have already been realized, or are they already in practice?" ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "Your ears and eyes in Shenzhou can find anything strange about the battle situation or form there?" ”

Qingfeng shook his head, "No, everything is normal, some time ago, when we were besieging Weizhou, Lu Fengchun mobilized a large number of men and horses to attack the Quanying defense line, but Zeng Yifan had already prepared, and the defense was impenetrable, and the northern army suffered heavy casualties, and Zeng Yifan also contacted the rebel army in Shenzhou, wantonly harassed the logistics of the northern army, and attacked the area controlled by the northern army, and Lu Fengchun had no choice but to retreat. ”

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

Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, this is a batch of seeds that were ordered to be sown by Zheng Zhiyuan, the general of the Sailor Division, a total of thirty captains, most of whom were sacrificed, only a rebel army led by a lieutenant named Guo Quan survived, and later gathered a few other remaining Marine Corps captains to form the most powerful resistance army in Shenzhou, with a combat power of about 3,000 people in their hands, and the Sailor also managed to get some equipment for them. ”

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

Qingfeng smiled: "Well, a few days ago, Zeng Yifan went to woo him, and he took advantage of the situation to knock a lot of equipment, this person is indeed very clever." ”

"Don't show your name for the time being, hide it!" Li Qingdao: "Actually, I'm not worried about what 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 annihilate Lu Fengchun." Have you ever thought that Lu Fengchun is likely to collude with the Zeng Society? ”

"It can't be!" Qingfeng was startled, and his legs subconsciously strained himself, and he wanted to stand up, but he forgot that he was in the carriage at this time, with a bang, his head hit the roof of the carriage heavily, and he sat down, his hand touched the top of his head, tears of pain, but his mouth was still wide open, "This can't be, right?" ”

Li Qing stretched out his hand distressedly, gently rubbed his head for Qingfeng, and said thoughtfully: "Nothing is impossible, Lu Fengchun's troops have now become a source of water, a tree without roots, and destruction is a sure thing, doesn't he want to find a way out?" ”

"If that's the case, what should we do?" The breeze was a little nervous.

"Let's talk about it after meeting Zeng Yifan!" Li Qing said lightly, "You can always see some clues!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
