Horse on the World

Chapter 270
Tang Hu tiptoedly put a cup of strong tea on the large case in front of Li Qing, then picked up a pair of small scissors, and cut off a small piece of the candle core to make the candle brighter. Li Qing was reading Daily from the Front Line According to the gathered military newspapers, the Dingzhou Army in both east and west directions are in trouble, and their offensive momentum has stagnated.

Lu Dalin's group was trapped by the terrain, while Guo Shanfeng and Tienig's allied forces were chased and intercepted by Bayar's superior forces, and they had also switched from offense to defense. They were waiting for Lu Bu to make a breakthrough before breaking the deadlock.Facing the current situation, Li Qing is not in a hurry at all. In his view, this is an inevitable victory, but it is only a matter of time. I caused a certain amount of distress, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation, just like the period before dawn is always the darkest time of the night.

What's more, Li Qing didn't want this battle to end too early, and he didn't mind if it could be delayed for a while. Now he has turned his eyes to the hinterland of Dachu.Ending the grassland battle prematurely will inevitably make him reluctantly intervene in the chaos of the Central Plains in advance, even if he doesn't want to.

Hu He is a good opponent, let Lu Dalin and Wang Qinian fight him more, and they will definitely learn a lot. Under the current situation, as long as Lu Dalin and others don't make big mistakes, Hu He has no chance of turning the tables, even in some areas. Achieving some small victories will not change the direction of the entire big battle.

At least this year, the war with the barbarians cannot end.

There was a light knock on the door, Li Qing raised his head, Tang Hu who was sitting in the corner also stood up, standing at the door was Qingfeng, Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, he forgot when Qingfeng When entering this study, she began to knock on the door. In the past, Qingfeng would walk in by herself. This is also her privilege all along. Is this behavior of Qingfeng deliberately showing alienation from herself?Li Qing frowned slightly, is the rift between him and her so big?
Li Qing just stared at Qingfeng and kept silent. The scene seemed a little awkward for a moment. Tang Hu's one-eyed eyes turned around, and his mind had a rare quickness. He greeted the door and said in a low voice: "Please come in, Director. I'll make you some tea!"

Qingfeng nodded slightly to him, and walked in with a large stack of copywriting in his arms.

Li Qing sighed, lowered his gaze, and said, "Sit down!"

"This is the relevant situation of Princess Qingcheng's journey since she left the capital!" A wrist as white as Haoyu pushed a stack of files in front of Li Qing.

"This is about the business status of the Department of Commerce and Trade in the mainland of Dachu."

"This is about the recent infiltration of the major forces in Dachu by the Statistics and Investigation Department and some top-secret information it has obtained."

Li Qing looked at Qingfeng's dossiers which were divided into three stacks in front of him. In the past, Qingfeng would always explain them one by one in detail. Frowning, he looked at Qingfeng with drooping eyelids, eyes looking at his nose, and his nose watching his heart. Li Qing suddenly said : "Breeze"

"Hmm!" Qingfeng raised his head eagerly, seeing Li Qing staring into his eyes, he couldn't help feeling flustered, and his body twitched uneasily.

"Are you resenting me?" Li Qing asked.

"No!" Qingfeng's voice was as low as a gnat.

"Yunrong is your own sister, why do you force her so much and keep preventing her from being with me?" Li Qing asked aggressively.

Qingfeng smiled suddenly, and seeing Qingfeng's sudden smile, Li Qing suddenly felt a little cold, "General, do you think she will be happy when she is with you?"

Li Qing said angrily: "What do you mean, can't I give her happiness?"

"I thought so too at the beginning, and I also thought that being with the general was happiness, but later on it was not like that. I couldn't help but fell into a turmoil that I never thought of, just like a dead leaf in the whirlpool, Although she is struggling hard, she is getting deeper and deeper. Yunrong is by your side now, just like me at the beginning, happy and sweet, but it won't take long for her to encounter the same distress as me, and slowly fall into the trap. Into this big net, I can't extricate myself! Therefore, I object to her being with you, but what's the use of talking about it now?" Qingfeng's voice slowly regained its composure.

"You are different from Yunrong!" Li Qing panted heavily. He was always ashamed of Qingfeng, and he was the one who let her fall into this net and couldn't extricate herself. "The power you hold is enough to make Shang Haibo and others feel threatened, and they are all very traditional people, but Yunrong is not, Yunrong is indifferent to the world, indifferent and peaceful, Shang Haibo and others will definitely not make things difficult for her."

There was a soft cough at the door of the room, Tang Hu appeared at the door with a cup in his hand, the two stopped talking, Tang Hu put the brewed tea in front of Qingfeng, then retreated lightly, and took it gently to the room. Door.

"General, Princess Qingcheng is about to enter the door." Qingfeng said: "And as your status continues to improve, Yunrong's troubles will also come. This is not something you can stop."

Li Qing said seriously: "No one can embarrass Jiyue, not even Qingcheng."

Qingfeng smiled and said: "General, I hope so. But maybe some people don't think so when the time comes."

Li Qing felt angry for a while, he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he clicked on the file, "Forget it, don't talk about these things, tell me about these situations!"

"The general wants to hear about that first?"

"Tell me about your infiltration into the hinterland of Da Chu!"

Qingfeng nodded, "After the Military Investigation Department was separated from me, I almost turned my attention to the network laying and penetration in the mainland. In the past few months, the progress has been very good. The feedback from these networks Look, the major forces in Great Chu have been behaving abnormally for a while, and they seem to be waiting for something to happen. Of course, this also includes the general's own family. Based on this, I judge that there will be drastic changes in Great Chu, civil strife It will happen within this year."

"Who will break the current balance?" Li Qing asked.

"The biggest possibility is the Xiao family who currently controls the capital, followed by King Ning who is entrenched in the south."

"What do you think?"

"I'm more inclined to the Xiao family." Qingfeng opened a file and said, "Since Qu Yongjie resigned, the Imperial Forest Army has fallen into the hands of the Xiao family. In addition, we discovered that Fang Jialuo, the head of the Fang family, had secretly appeared in Bingzhou and Lanzhou."

Li Qing's face changed slightly, "Bingzhou and Lanzhou."

"Yes, these two prefectures are adjacent to us. Fang Jialuo should come here to contact them to deal with us. I'm afraid they are worried that once they attack in the capital, the Dingzhou army will send troops to King Qin of Guan!"

Li Qing leaned back on the back of the chair, "Enter Guanqin King? Hmph!"

Qingfeng smiled and said: "The other party's move is just a prelude. I figured out what the general meant. We should be fighting fiercely with the barbarians at that time, so of course we wouldn't make such a move."

"How did you come up with such an idea?"

"After we defeated the barbarians, we need a period of time to recuperate. I'm afraid the general has no idea how long this period will be. The Central Plains are not barbarians. Compared with the hinterland of Great Chu, our previous advantage in resources against the barbarians will become a disadvantage. , without complete preparations, the general will not go up and rush through this muddy water. But when the princess enters the door, the general is your son-in-law. If the Xiao family really wants to rebel, it is unreasonable for the general not to send troops. What should we do? Of course, only To prolong the present battle as long as possible, one is to make it difficult when the time comes, and the other is training soldiers!"

"How did you think of this?" Li Qing was a little surprised.

"The general forgot. When Hu He was stationed in Wuyan Bator, Ji Sichen brought back the topographic map of Uyan Bator from Fusen. I also gave it to the general, but the general didn't give it to Lu Dalin! Right now Wuyan Bator hasn't made any progress, so if I compare the two, is there any reason I don't understand?"

Li Qing smiled slightly, Shang Haibo didn't even know what was going on in his mind, and after all, he still couldn't hide it from Qingfeng, "Yes, when that time comes, I will always give Qingcheng and the world a reason."

"How many forces have joined the Xiao family?"

"I don't know roughly, but there are 56 prefectures in Dachu. According to my estimation, I'm afraid there are no less than a dozen prefectures that have attached to the Xiao family either explicitly or secretly, and most of these prefectures are near the capital, all of which are rich and prosperous. The land has a large population."

"So many?" Li Qing was a little surprised, "It seems that the Xiao family has really put in a lot of effort over the years!" He suddenly smiled and said, "Our old man is not a mortal, how many people can he attract?"

"The Li family sits in Yizhou. Although it is rich, it is the land of the Four Wars. There is no strategic depth and room for maneuver. Before the rise of our Dingfu two states, there were not many people who were optimistic about the Li family, so those who are attached to the Li family There are very few forces, but in the past two years, many people have begun to throw themselves into their arms, and Mr. Li Huaiyuan's huge influence in the Great Chu Army, his strength should not be underestimated!"

"Well, what about King Ning?" Li Qing asked again.

Qingfeng Weice frowned, "Among the major forces in Great Chu, King Ning is the most incomprehensible. His strength revealed on the water is strong enough, but I'm afraid all we can see are icebergs. In one corner, we have not made much progress in the infiltration of King Ning, Zhong Ziqi is a very formidable opponent, it is a pity that we did not take his life at the beginning, I am afraid that we will suffer in his hands in the future."

"A man should do things, do something, don't do something, don't regret what you have done, what's more, in this competition, personal strength has limited influence, I don't think Zhong Ziqi can bring us much trouble , as long as we do not make mistakes, no matter how powerful he is, it will be in vain."

Qingfeng nodded, "The general is a great man, and he has mountains and rivers in his chest. How is the general going to deal with the chaos in the Central Plains?"

Li Qing said with a smile: Let the wind and clouds be surging, lie down on the side, and watch the changes in the big Chu with a smile. "

"When the time is right, we will send troops into the pass, but see how powerful Chu is, who can stop the heroes of Dingzhou!" Qingfeng continued with a smile, and the two looked at each other and smiled. That kind of heart-to-heart feeling at the beginning.

After taking a sip of tea, Qingfeng frowned, "This Tang Hu still made the tea so hard to drink, General, I'm going back first."

Li Qing nodded, watched Qingfeng turn around to leave, and said gently: "Qingfeng, you are much thinner, pay attention to your body."

Qingfeng trembled slightly, without turning around, said in a low voice: "Got it!"

The door was gently closed, Li Qing sighed heavily, but Tang Hu's voice came from outside.

"Miss Qingfeng, are you leaving now?"

"Huzi, make tea for me in the future, remember not to put too much tea!" Qingfeng laughed.
