After the Battle of Liaodong, the season happened to be in the middle of winter. Winter fell and heavy snow flew. The whole Liaodong was enveloped by cold. Every season is the most difficult season in Liaodong, not only because of the cold weather, but more importantly, Liaodong. The cattle and sheep that the people can survive without forage.
It was difficult in previous years, but this year is especially difficult. This year happened to coincide with the invasion of the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army ransacked on the Liaodong Plain. The people all just avoided fleeing for their lives, and did not have enough forage. When the winter arrives, the heavy snowfall. After falling, the people of Liaodong fell into unprecedented difficulties.
Lu Zheng rushed back to Shengjing from Yanmen, caring about anxiously. This time Liaodong’s victory was indispensable to celebrate the merits. The commanding army and leading soldiers emphasized the distinction between rewards and punishments. Therefore, Lu Zheng once celebrated the merits, and he turned back to government affairs for a while. Could not help but be overwhelmed.
Nothing is easy this year. Fortunately, Lu Zheng moved Gu Zhilun to Liaodong. The trade between the north and the south was the best. Lu Zheng has not been interrupted since arriving in Liaodong. But at the moment it is at odds with Jiangnan, and the food in the Central Plains cannot be transported. Come in, the food shortage in Liaodong is already very serious, this winter is not easy!
"My lord, the state capitals near Lianshan cannot be peaceful now. The people are especially suffering. The old thief Qin Yesi is too treacherous and vicious. When fighting in Huangzhou, the old thief came up with a ruthless trick. Relying on the powerful horsepower of the Northwest Army, let the soldiers abandon their luggage, give up resistance, and all escape freely!
Our army didn’t spend much money on attacking them, but it really made them run away. Now this old thief has gathered more than 30,000 men and horses and ravaged the mountainous area. Everyone has horses, and they come and go like they do. Wind, strong combat power, and no fixed residence. In the last two days, they even harassed Huangzhou again. If this continues, one day they may come to Shengjing. It is unknown! "The boy lowered his voice.
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, and said for a while, "What do you think of the situation in the Northwest?"
The boy said: "The Northwest is now very chaotic. Song Naifeng is seriously ill. It is said that he has been unable to stand, and his whole person has completely collapsed. From the perspective of age, he is also really old. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves forward. This is also expected. .
But under Song Naifeng of the Song family, Song Wenjie and Song Wenhua have their own teams, and neither of them agrees with each other, and both of them are far from Song Naifeng in terms of talent and heart. If Song Naifeng is really dead, the northwest will fight each other. For a while, Longyou should be completely quiet!
For us, we can focus on the Central Plains. Tan Lei of the Central Plains now has his tail up, and Cao Weiming has come back from the dead, meaning to take the emperor and command the princes. From the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, Long Zhaohuan of the south of the Yangtze River has already proclaimed himself emperor, claiming to be the emperor of Dakang, and emperor Xinde of Shandong as the emperor, this kind of farce is simply a laugh in the world! "
Lu Zheng closed his eyes slightly, his thoughts flying in his mind. Although this Liaodong War was the best result, Liaodong suffered a lot from this war. The biggest expenditure was financial and manpower.
Abandon Liaodong and let Qin Yesi go straight forward. Qin Yesi’s cavalry pioneer was only a hundred miles away from Shengjing. After this raging, Liaodong was devastated and no hundreds of people were displaced.
As a result, Lu Zheng won, but the price paid for one city and one place is actually very high. Now that the Northwest is facing a crisis, Lu Zheng will not be able to go south for at least two years. It is a loss for both sides.
"Qin Yesi, a thief, is old and good! At that time, their army was in chaos. Once the cavalry lost communication and was unable to organize an attack, the fate of only being slaughtered. So he simply put his only strength into play. Come out, let him escape to tens of thousands of horses!
These tens of thousands are dead! Thirty thousand mouths have to eat and drink. Once there is no food or drink, they will come out to grab it. If this problem is not solved this winter, next spring, we in Liaodong may still not be able to recover..." Lu Zheng murmured.
"Is Song Wensong still in Shengjing?" Lu Zheng said.
The boy frowned slightly and said: "Song Wensong lives in Shengjing, Shenju, and thanked guests behind closed doors. He didn't show up for so many days. He should also know the news from the Northwest! After all, he is from the Song family!"
"Where is Qi Yuanzhi?"
"Qi Yuanzhi comes to order these days every day, and his spirit and mentality are much better than before. Hey, I want to come after a battle in Liaodong, and his admiration for your son is different from the past. I know how he looks at the sky. !
The Qi family as a whole is now very good. The children of the Qi family are also seeking jobs in various yamen. People from the Chen family, Gu family and Zhang family in the south of the Yangtze River have also come to Shengjing one after another. Shandong produces grain, and Shandong can also interact with Dongyi people. For trade, if this road works, it might be an opportunity for us in Liaodong! "
Lu Zheng raised his brows, and said, "After passing Qi Yuanzhi over, he knows more about Liaodong's affairs after all, and I still believe him in many things!"
Qi Yuanzhi walked briskly, almost trotting all the way to Lu Zheng's living room. When he saw Lu Zheng, he saluted neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Qi Yuanzhi has seen the prince! I wonder if the prince is so anxious to recruit Yuanzhi, what's the matter?"
Lu Zheng said: "Mr. Qi, although Liaodong has won, it is now full of crises! Needless to say, the people in the northwest are innocent and plunder my people in Liaodong. Now my people are helpless and hungry and die in the wilderness. If the people are uncertain, I How can Liaodong gain a foothold!
Second, although the Northwest Army was defeated, Qin Yesi had repeatedly offended the sides. Relying on the complexity of the mountains, this old thief would hide and hide with me. If we go on like this, the people of Liaodong cannot be determined!
In addition, Jiangnan is now self-reliant, and the Central Plains is guilty of us again. Food has become our shortcoming. If our external troubles cannot be resolved, the operation of Liaodong will become extremely difficult!
Today I am really upset, and I specifically called you over, hoping to hear your opinion! "
Qi Yuanzhi straightened his face and said: "The prince is really a man of good manners. He has just won this great victory without arrogance or rashness. On the contrary, he has become more worried about the country and the people. The people of Liaodong have a master like you. It is a blessing for them!"
Now for Liaodong, it is already a problem that Qin Yesi is raging. Qin Yesi has tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands. So many troops are not horse thieves. To solve this problem, we must send troops to pursue them. There is no other way. !
My Liaodong Army has a new victory. The soldiers have just received a reward. At this time, if the prince wants to use soldiers, the morale can be used. I suggest that the prince send troops immediately and take advantage of the cold weather to raid Qin Yesi so that he cannot be in Lianshan. After living for a long time, Lianshan is no longer standing, so he can only roll back to Longyou. In this way, our Liaodong will be peaceful!
In the case of foreign troubles, the overall situation of the world has changed. Longyou has changed, and the strength of the Central Plains will no longer be balanced. Tan Lei will not be able to stay in the capital. At this time, the prince can send an envoy to Bianzhou, and Cao Weiming must not dare to offend Lord, with the food and trade of the Central Plains, the crisis in Liaodong can be solved!
In addition to the Central Plains, the foundation of the son is still in Shandong. It happens that this time we have a big victory. The son can ask his majesty for more convenience. Shandong has grain. And when you walk in Shandong, you can overlook Dongyi and Gaoli. Gu Master will have trade to be accommodating again. , Liaodong going south, going north will be like a fish in water, why worry about our Liaodong not prosperous? "
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Mr. Qi said well. I have been in a really bad mood these past few days. After listening to his words, I feel much better! Now I want to ask Mr. Qin how to choose if I want to encircle Qin Yesi. will?"
Qi Yuanzhi frowned slightly, and said: "Qin Yesi is a difficult person to deal with. He has a very high status in the Northwest Army. When it comes to the use of military strategies, Song Naifeng is this person! To this person, Liaodong needs Liu. General Song might become an enemy with him!"
Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Liu Song has beaten well these years. He is a bit fierce, but he has to fight against a veteran like Qin Yesi, and sometimes there is no guarantee that it will be all right! You must know that Qin Yesi is already popular. At a glance, as the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, we can't take it lightly!
I do have a personal choice in my heart. Wen Song was born in the Northwest Army. This time he made great contributions in Huangzhou. I have written to His Majesty. He will be canonized as the General of the Northwest. I think if Wen Song goes to Against Qin Yesi, this should be a good victory, what does Yuanzhi think? "
Qi Yuanzhi's face changed drastically, and he was really silent for a while, and Lu Zheng wanted Song Wensong to deal with Qin Yesi? Isn't he afraid that Song Wensong will not come back this time?
Thinking of this, he immediately thought that with Lu Zheng's scheming and resourcefulness, he could think of this no matter what. The reason why he said this was probably a temptation. After all, this time the battle of Huangzhou Defensive City, Qi Yuanzhi was always there. With Song Wensong, Qi Yuanzhi's will among the two was shaken countless times, and even persuaded Song Wensong to seek another plan at a critical time!
He immediately said: "The prince, the current situation has changed. Once Song Naifeng in the northwest is dead, the situation will definitely be in chaos. Although General Song is good at war, his relationship with the northwest is too close. If there is any relationship between him and Qin Yesi, The consequences will be extremely serious, I am afraid that it will lead to great disasters!
The prince, although Qi Yuanzhi used to be General Song’s adviser, he has no longer been involved with the Song family since he returned to the prince. This time, since the prince asked, I can’t just play the blame? I don’t think the prince can send General Song to fight anyway! "
Lu Zheng smiled, shook his head lightly, and said, "Polygala, it makes sense for you to say so, but I am also very embarrassed! At this time something happened in the Northwest, and my heart is actually quite complicated! Okay, at this time I look back and consider it carefully, and find an opportunity to meet Wen Song to help him untie the knot..."
