Horse on the World

Chapter 951 Andy the warrior guards the Quartet ([-])

More than [-] warships of the Dingzhou Navy carried nearly [-] soldiers up the Lai River. Their goal was Yunchi Port in Pingzhou. After landing here, they cut off the connection between Xingzhou and Pingzhou. , and then attack Pingzhou.

Lu Dalin Tianfeng Group entered Xingzhou along Bozhou. Li Feng Buyang's ancient cavalry, Fengli Division Guo Quan's troops and Guo Shanfeng's Ruijian Camp and Hailing Camp led by Guo Shanfeng joined forces and crossed the Xiaoai River. Occupying Yaqueling, also reached Xingzhou.

Lutian Group plus Meng Junjian and Ma Zhen's 8 Qiang soldiers totaled more than 25 people, Guo Shanfeng and Guo Quan belonged to nearly [-] people, and more than [-] navy troops. A total of [-] troops from Dingzhou rushed into Xingzhou .

After Li Qing arrived in Yizhou, Yizhou immediately became the command center of the entire war zone, and one order after another was sent to every war zone from here.

After Wang Qinian's Qi Nian Division completed its mission, it turned around and returned to Quanzhou and entered Zunhua. The entire Qi Nian Division was once again assigned to the Chen Zeyue Group. Wang Qinian was also ordered to join Li Qing in Yizhou. The annual division has more than [-] troops, and after the addition of more than [-] cavalry from the Whirlwind Battalion, the total force has also expanded to more than [-]. Under the command of Chen Zeyue, with Qingyang as the forward base, the whole army advances towards Donglin.

And in November, Yang Yidao's Central Group Army and Xiao Yuanshan's [-] Youyan elite, led by Changsheng Battalion Wang Yan's troops as the vanguard, sent troops out of Xiegu to attack Luoyang Xiangping's troops.

Several war zones are working simultaneously, and the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang is jittery, and the grass and trees are full of soldiers.

In Qinzhou City, the mountain wind stepped heavily into the ruins all over the ground. Guan Xinglong's more than [-] officers and soldiers, including the Hengdao Division, were left very few. Looking at the blood-stained Guan Xinglong on his armor, he walked towards him with a smile , Guo Shanfeng couldn't help but choked up, strode forward, hugged Guan Xinglong in his arms, and beat his back hard, "Thank you for your hard work!"

In this battle, if Guan Xinglong hadn't immediately abandoned Huting, Anfu Temple, and Xiaoaihe after discovering something was wrong, and concentrated all his troops in Qinzhou City Zhou Li, trying to keep Qinzhou City from being lost, the direction of the entire battle would have been different. That's another story.Knowing that he made a mistake in his judgment, Guo Shanfeng was shocked, and couldn't help but feel even more grateful to Guan Xinglong. If Qinzhou was lost, then he would have no redemption.

"My lord called me to Yizhou, how will I deal with me this time?" Guo Shanfeng said anxiously. "I almost made a big mistake this time, my lord must be very annoyed, maybe he will take off my military uniform!"

Guan Xinglong said with a smile: "Although something went wrong, the ending is extremely happy. My lord is certainly annoyed, but General Guo doesn't have to worry about it. What could be more beneficial to Dingzhou than the current situation? The previous two-wing attack, the Central Plains It is safe to stick to the safe strategy, but the progress is slow. Although it is extremely dangerous now, it has achieved miraculous results. Although the general has made mistakes, he has also made merit. The lord has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and there must be rewards and punishments for the general."

Guo Shanfeng smiled wryly, "If there is a slight mistake this time, it will be irreversible. How can the lord forgive me?"

Guan Xinglong said: "I am also on the call list. The general is the chief general and I am the deputy general. What responsibilities do we have? Of course we shoulder them side by side."

Patting Guan Xinglong on the shoulder, "Brother, this time the Hengdao Master who caused you was disabled, if the lord still allows me to command the army, I will let your Hengdao Master revive. Whoever you are, will belong to you, and that troop will be transferred to your Hengdao division."

Guan Xinglong laughed loudly, "In this case, I will thank the general first, general, let's go, I dare not keep the lord waiting for a long time."

Yizhou, Li's Ancestral Temple.

Li Qing lit a stick of incense and respectfully kowtowed to the ancestors of the Li family.Looking at the tablet closest to him, Li Qing said softly: "Grandpa, the overall situation has been settled. Our Li family will rule the Central Plains just around the corner. You can rest assured under the Nine Springs."

Behind him, Li Tuizhi led a group of elders from the Li clan, and they all bowed to the memorial tablet, with unconcealable excitement on their faces.

After this battle, it is almost certain that the Li family will become the future royal family.

Sit down according to priority, and members of the Li family who are not qualified to attend the meeting exit the hall.

"Patriarch!" Li Tuizhi bowed to Li Qing. Although Li Tuizhi was Li Qing's uncle, Li Huaiyuan passed on the position of patriarch to Li Qing before his death. Secondly, Li Qing will become the Li family for thousands of years. The first emperor ever since was Li Tuizhi, and now he is also respectful to Li Qing.

"At present, the overall situation has been decided. Luoyang gave up Xingzhou and retreated to Pingzhou and Suzhou. I don't know when we will launch the final general offensive?"

Li Qing smiled and said: "In this battle, although we won in the end, we have actually suffered great damage, especially the Dongfang Group to which Guo Shanfeng belongs, which was almost half disabled. , Qingzhou, Qinzhou, and Xingzhou are all almost in ruins. In order to cope with this war, Dingzhou has tried its best. The foundation accumulated over the years has almost been hollowed out. What is certain is that in this winter, Will not be able to launch a second campaign."

"That is to say, this winter and next spring will enter a truce period!" Li Qingdao: "We will use this rare truce period to reorganize our troops, mobilize our logistics, and make all preparations for the final offensive next year."

Li Tuizhi nodded again and again, "Haste makes waste. The patriarch's arrangement is very good. The overall situation is in my hands. When to launch the final general attack will be decided by us. As for Luoyang, we can only wait with our backs now. After this defeat , they are no longer able to launch a counterattack against us."

"Centured insects are dead but not stiff, don't underestimate them." Li Qing said: "After all, they still own half of the river and mountain."

"The patriarch sees clearly!" The elders of the Li clan bowed together.

"Although it will take some time to win the final victory, we have to prepare for some tasks now!" Li Tuizhi looked at Li Qing and said, "I wonder how the patriarch will deal with Emperor Zhou?"

Li Qing pondered for a while, "The king of Zhou is a smart man, he won't be reluctant to go, I think, this time when I return to Dingzhou, he will do what he should do. Even if he can't see through, like Old people like Wei Gang from the Zhou Dynasty will wake him up."

Li Tuizhi suddenly became excited, "That is to say, King Zhou will abdicate and give the throne to the patriarch."

Li Qing said with a smile: "It should be so, but I don't want to take it for the time being."

Li Tuizhi smiled and said: "Of course, you have to make a good gesture, so that after Zhou Huanglian issued seven or eight edicts, the patriarch will be reluctant to take the position."

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter. Although it was unnecessary to take off their pants and fart, sometimes, the things in these scenes still need to be sufficient.

"The Li family has finally climbed to the highest peak in this continent!" Li Tuizhi sighed: "The old man's decades of planning are not in vain. Of course, if it weren't for the birth of the patriarch, our Li family would have nothing at all!" Opportunity, it's funny to say, at that time the old man was planning to join forces with Xiao Shi!"

"Grandpa has a far-sighted vision, and I can't match it!" Li Qing said.

"After the patriarch ascends the throne, where is the capital going to be placed? Is it Dingzhou, Luoyang, or Yizhou?" Li Tuizhi asked.

"In uncle's opinion?"

Li Tuizhi said: "In my opinion, Yizhou is located in the center of the Central Plains, and it is also the foundation of our Li family. Yizhou should be the capital!"

Li Qing glanced at the elders of the Li family in the hall, and everyone had expressions of approval. They obviously agreed with Li Tuizhi's statement, and wanted to use Yizhou as the capital of the future dynasty. Li Qing smiled, no Answer, he has his own ideas about where to set the capital in the future, but Yizhou is definitely not acceptable.

Yizhou is the foundation of the Li family, but not the foundation of Li Qing.Moreover, the capital city is the core of a country's political culture, and the establishment of a capital will drive the development of a large area around it, and Yizhou itself is a fertile land, extremely prosperous.

"The matter of Dingdu is very important, so let's put it on hold. I still need Lu Yiming and others to discuss these matters, but Uncle and others can also discuss this issue with our officials at the core level of Dingzhou."

Although they didn't get an affirmative answer from Li Qing, Li Tuizhi and the others were still satisfied. As a member of the Li family, they would soon become the royal family, and if one person ascended to heaven, the Li family would be the largest family in the world from now on.

In the middle of the night, Li Qing didn't feel sleepy at all. He moved a chair and sat alone in the pavilion, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, thoughtful.

Li Wen walked over lightly, "Master, it's late at night, and many generals will return to Yizhou to discuss matters tomorrow, you should take a rest!"

"It's okay, not to mention staying up all night, even staying up for days and nights, I can resist it!" Li Qing said with a smile: "I'm still young, I haven't reached the age of seventy or eighty!"

Hearing what Li Qing said, Li Wen couldn't help feeling a little panicked, "My lord is in the prime of his life, but you have to cherish your body. You shoulder the world with your whole body, so don't dare to be negligent in the slightest!"

Li Qing sighed, "Li Wen, I'm thinking about this right now!"

Li Wen asked strangely: "I don't know what question my lord is thinking about, but I haven't gotten an accurate answer in such a long time?"

"Li Wen, tell me, how many dynasties have existed on this continent in history?"

Li Wen was stunned. Li Qing asked this question extremely strangely. After thinking for a while, he couldn't count it. "My lord, since the beginning of history, there have never been a thousand dynasties, but there have always been eight hundred."

"Yeah, there are not one thousand, but eight hundred. I was thinking that the founding monarchs of these dynasties should all be extremely wise figures, let alone the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, Emperor Yingwu. Wei Lue made me very impressed!"

"My lord, don't underestimate yourself. The Emperor Yingwu is indeed extraordinary, but compared to you, he is still far inferior. Not to mention anything else, only the two feats of conquering the barbarians and sailing overseas, the Emperor Yingwu failed! Throughout history, no emperor has been able to do this, so the Lord is the most wise founder of the country in history!"

Li Qing smiled, "The founding kings of every dynasty and generation are all talents, and in the next few generations, they will work hard to govern, but why in the end, one generation is always inferior to the previous generation, so as to govern the huge Did the dynasty collapse in the end? Li Wen, tell me, the Great Zhou is like this, the Great Chu is like this, will we be like this in the future?"

Li Wen was dumbfounded. He never expected that what Li Qing was thinking about was this question, which he couldn't answer, because it was an iron law of history, and no dynasty could last forever.

Li Qing didn't expect Li Wen to give an answer, so he stood up and said leisurely, "Fortunately, I'm still young, so I can always figure out a way!"
