Chapter 207: Undercurrent (Part 2)
The Northland is completely in chaos.
Zhang Zhongwu and Gao Pian fought fiercely in Daizhou. It seemed that the two sides were evenly matched, but in fact, it was Zhang Zhongwu attacking and Gao Pian defending, and it was not optimistic. At the same time, Chengde's war of revenge against Zhenwu finally kicked off. Taking advantage of Zhang Zhongwu's inability to be distracted at this critical moment, Chengde's army, one by Li Anmin, led by Zhaozhou to attack Dingzhou, the other by Zhenzhou, and You Yong to attack Yizhou. In Henghai, Liu Chenglin's sudden independence also triggered a radical change in form.
The news that Li Ze used his marriage to successfully instigate Liu Chenglin was finally spread to Zhenzhou.
In the study, Li Anguo's face was flushed and he kept coughing, but his eyes were filled with joy. He could not hide it. Gongsun Changming looked clear, as if things should have been like this. It seemed that things should have been like this. Yuan Zhou and Wang Sili seemed to be greatly shocked, their mouths were slightly open, and their eyes were a little dull, as if they had not yet woken up from the shock brought by this news. In the room, only Suning's face was gloomy and extremely depressed.
"Liu Chenglin is indeed worthy of the famous general in the north." Looking back and forth at the letter sent by Cao Xin quickly, Li Anguo sincerely exclaimed: "For Zhu Shou's battle, this person's tactical changes have really reached the extreme. After repeated mobilizations, even an old fox like Zhu Shou took his tricks and lost half of the main force in one battle. Hahaha! When Zhu Shou's thief betrayed us, did he think of today?"
The happy laughing Li Anguo's body was shaking, and he was overjoyed.
Gongsun Changming saw Li Ze's vague figure from this series of mobile operations. Speaking of which, this combat style is completely different from Liu Chenglin's previous combat style, but it is more in line with Li Ze's erratic and unimaginable style.
"Mr. Li, don't forget that the main reliance of Liu Chenglin's success in this battle was the cavalry team of 2,000 people sent by the young master. Without this amazing soldier, no matter how brave Liu Chenglin was, there was no way to turn the world, turn defeat into victory, and defeat the strong with the weak." Gongsun Changming specifically reminded Li Anguo.
"This little boy, marriage is of course necessary to be his parents' orders. The matchmaker said that he actually took the initiative. Fortunately, he knew that Cao Xin would take this red thread, otherwise how could I have face?" Li Anguo stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"Cao Xin came out and the pattern naturally improved. People in the world must think that it was Mr. Li's plan. From this point, it can be seen that the young master was very thorough in thinking." Yuan Chang finally reacted and bowed to Li Anguodao: "Congratulations to the handsome guy on the festival. It is undoubtedly true that Zhu Shou lost another loss. I am afraid that there will be no power to pose a threat to us. I guess after the autumn harvest, the young master will definitely launch a large-scale attack on Henghai and attack Liu Chenglin on both sides. In this way, the day when I return to Henghai is not far away."
Li Anguo nodded repeatedly: "This is the reason, Cao Xin said so. But now I am still a little worried that the little boy burned a fire in Dezhou to white land. After the autumn harvest, he would cross these hundreds of miles to attack Cangzhou. If Dizhou is the only one, these hundreds of miles will become a natural disaster!"
"Don't worry about Mr. Li." Gongsun Changming said disapprovingly: "Seeing that the young master is instigating Liu Chenglin and being able to quickly send a cavalry to support him after Liu Chenglin rebelled against Zhu Shou, it means that the young master must have made some arrangements in Dezhou. In this battle, the young master will undoubtedly win."
"Jingshuai, since the situation is very good, should we give Yizhou some support?" Wang Sili asked: "With the power of Yizhou alone, it is a little thinner."
"That's natural!" Li Anguo nodded repeatedly. "The four places in the sea are actually good places. Only Zhu Shou's only husband would waste natural resources and make the people live in poverty. If these four places are born to us, then our Li family will be like a tiger with wings."
Wang Sili said excitedly: "Since Jishuai has this intention, then after I go down, I will immediately mobilize some troops to enter Yizhou to support me."
Lee Anguo waved his hand and said, "No, no. I'm going to let Min Rou go."
The few people in the room, except Gongsun Changming, and the others, especially Suning, all changed color.
After You Yong left, the Chengde Wolf Cavalry was led by Min Rou. Although this was only a cavalry of only 100 people, it was a symbol of Chengde. The Chengde Wolf Cavalry was always led by the Chengde Jiedu Governor himself, and never handed over to others. Li Anguo's move was tantamount to announcing his final decision to the few people in the house.
Wang Sili and Yuan Zhou remained silent. Gongsun Changming had a look that should have been like this, but Suning had a pale face, lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
"You don't know that Tu Lichun also set up a cavalry team in Wuyi, which was the imitation of Chengde Wolf Cavalry. However, Cao Xin said that the cavalry now seems to be a tiger but a dog-like dog. Let Min Rou take Chengde Wolf Cavalry over and let them see that Chengde Wolf Cavalry is not something they can do if they want. Hahaha!"
"Jingshou, Chengde Wolf Cavalry has only a hundred people, and its role on the battlefield is also special. Isn't it a little thin?" Wang Sili suggested: "In the eyes of his subordinates, we still need to be prepared, even as reserve forces."
Li Anguo thought for a moment and nodded: "You are talking about it, but now we are using troops to Zhenwu. Zhenwu has strong support from Lu Long, and this bone is harder, and the autumn harvest is imminent, which is the top priority. So, except for Chengde Wolf Cavalry, you will talk about other things after the autumn harvest. When Yizhou officially uses troops to Henghai, we will see if the situation needs to provide military support."
"I understand, my subordinates will make all preparations." Wang Sili bowed.
Li Anguo's eyes turned to Suning on the side: "Shenzhou did a good job this time. When the battle between Liu Chenglin and Zhu Shou in Yingzhou, Shi Yi originally raised the army to enter Zhangwu with the intention of attacking Liu Chenglin, but the entire army immediately dispatched the entire army to press the border, forcing Shi Yi to stop at Zhangwu and dare not act rashly. Anning, you are very grateful for your righteousness!"
Suning looked up and tried hard to show a smile that was even worse than crying, saying, "The matter of virtue naturally needs to be given priority."
"Okay, with Anning, you have such an attitude, then why should I worry about not soaring into the sky?" Li Anguo laughed to the sky.
Suning lowered his head and said nothing. If this continues, Chengde may be better, but Li Ze will be better. When Li Ze is better, Suning will only be worse. When he thinks about Shenzhou in his mind, he grits his teeth with hatred. Huang Shang and Du Teng, he believes in them so much that they dare to stab themselves in the vest while they are not there. When they finish the work, they must show them good looks.
Li Ze's success in managing Henghai will naturally profoundly affect the entire Chengde's next strategy. Once Li Ze takes over Henghai and builds Zhenwu here, Chengde's power will immediately be improved, and Chengde will inevitably become a dazzling pearl in the north. Compared with Gao Pian from Hedong, Lu Long and Zhang Zhongwu are no less than Gao Pian from Hedong.
Yuan, Zhou and King Sili left with two farewell. These two men were both literary and military. For a long time, they would be very busy because of this change. Suning also left the study room to visit his sister, and only Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming were left in the study room.
The joy on Li Anguo's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Gongsun Changming and sighed: "Changming, do you think my heart is a little too cruel?"
Gongsun Changming looked at the other party and said, "This is a helpless move. Mr. Li, for the long-term situation, you must do this. If you don't eliminate internal troubles, then something big will happen sooner or later. Although such an arrangement is indeed ruthless in terms of reason, what is it worthy of being under the overall survival and demise of Chengde?"
Li Anguo coughed violently again, and quickly pulled a silk squid from his sleeve and covered his mouth. After the coughing stopped, he spread the silk squid, looked at the eye-catching red color on it, and said softly: "If my body still allows it, I may want to make up for the cracks between them, but now it is no longer possible. I must eliminate all the instability factors for him while I am still alive. In this way, when he takes over Chengde, he will be a clean and dedicated Chengde. He is cruel and ruthless, and his relatives do not recognize this reputation, so I will bear it!"
Gongsun Changming was silent when he looked at the bloody brocade hand in Li Anguo's hand.
"It seems that I haven't seen him in five years or several years?" Li Anguo raised his head and tried hard to figure out how long he hadn't been to Wuyi and hadn't seen this young son. After thinking for a while, he finally gave up: "I still remember the last time I saw him, he should have only reached my chest."
Seeing Li Anguo gesture on his chest with his hand, Gongsun Changming said: "Now he is almost the same height as you, Gong Li, and a very strong boy."
"I remember he was very weak when he was a child." Lee Ang Guodao.
"The young master is the most self-disciplined person I have ever seen." Gongsun Changming said: "It's so self-disciplined that it makes people frightened. In Wuyi, I have never seen this young man indulge himself once. Or it's because he was weak when he was a child that he wanted to make himself stronger."
Li Anguo nodded: "Changming, let him secretly come to Zhenzhou once through your channel, and I want to meet him."
Gongsun Changming also agreed: "Mr. Li, you really have to meet him. In such a big game, not only you, but also he must have a clear idea. What's more, the young master is best at is this kind of conspiracy and planning to make arrangements in advance. If he is involved in it, he can make a better and more stable transition of power."
"Can he compare with you?" Li Anguo rolled his eyes.
