Zhending County is the capital of Zhenzhou and the most prosperous city in Zhenzhou. More than 50,000 people gathered here, which was ranked among the top ten among the prefectures and counties at that time.

The Jiedushi Mansion in Nancheng is the power center of the entire Chengde. It is a whole street. Except for the Jiedushi Mansion and other yamen, the rest are barracks, with the personal guards of the Jiedushi. In the North City, the East City and the West City, there are three military camps, with three thousand soldiers stationed. These people are responsible for the security and defense of the entire Zhending County.

There are also two camps outside the city, but these two camps usually have more than 100 people stationed in charge of cleaning and daily maintenance of houses. Generally, no soldiers are stationed. That is, before the war comes, and after the government soldiers are summoned, these two camps will be filled.

But now, these two camps are now overcrowded.

The design of the two camps could accommodate up to about 30,000 people, but after this war in Shenzhou, the army returned was 50,000. Although it had begun to disband, the disbanding was carried out in steps, and most people were still waiting for the order to disband.

Among these people, ten thousand will be retained as standing troops, and these people will be promoted to soldiers.

Chengde's military expansion behavior represents the beginning of changes in Chengde's foreign strategy that has lasted for nearly ten years, and also means that the war in the North will further unfold and spread.

"Gao Pian has come and hopes that we will launch an offensive against Zhenwu as soon as possible." Li Anguo looked at Gongsun Changming, Li Anmin and You Yongdao in front of him, "Although he did not say it explicitly, the form of his battle with Zhang Zhongwu should not be optimistic."

Gongsun Changming nodded and said, "Although there is no clearer information, it is obvious that as Jie Shuai analyzed. Although Gao Pian led 50,000 soldiers, these people could not be used to deal with Zhang Zhongwu because he had to be on guard against the Turks. Unlike the Khitans, they had never really surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Once they found an opportunity, there would inevitably be some conspiracy. The Khitans were almost defeated by Zhang Zhongwu. The large tribes were forced to submit to Zhang Zhongwu. The Turks had been fighting with Gao Pian, and Gao Pian never really defeated them. Now Zhang Zhongwu is coming in a big way. Once Gao Pian encounters a crisis, the Turks will definitely take advantage of the situation. Therefore, Gao Pian still has a considerable amount of energy to focus on the Turks, and it is also appropriate to deal with it."

"When we were in trouble, Gao Pian knew that he would be defeated or sent troops to fight Zhang Zhongwu, objectively reducing the pressure for us. Therefore, in this battle, whether public or private, we must send troops to Zhenwu as soon as possible to defeat Zhenwu, so as to share some of Gao Pian's pressure, which can be regarded as the return of his affection." Li Anguo coughed in a low voice, covered his mouth with his hands, and a bright redness appeared on his face.

The other three people in the room nodded in agreement. This is not just a moral issue. To defeat Zhenwu, you can not only report the great defeat caused by Zhenwu's rebellion, but also take the opportunity to annex Zhenwu and expand your power.

"Anmin, you are the main attack on Dingzhou, You Yong, you are the main attack on Yizhou, and the two groups are working together." Li Anguo continued: "Anmin, you don't have to worry about Li Bo's safety. The more this time, the less Wang Feng dares to touch Li Bo."

Li Anmin nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I will never be worried about Boer in their hands."

Li Anguo nodded. "Now for us, the situation is getting better and better. Cao Xin sent a letter over quickly, and Henghai no longer needs to worry. Li Ze successfully used the plan of disagreement to make Zhu Shou and Liu Chenglin rebel. Liu Chenglin had already killed Jingzhou Governor Lu Jin to announce his independence. Cao Xin said in the letter that in fact, Jingzhou can be regarded as our Chengde system. Zhu Shou has sent troops to attack Liu Chenglin. Even if Zhu Shou wins this battle, he will no longer pose a threat to us in a short period of time. If he loses, Henghai will be almost over."

Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "Jingshuai, if I expected it was good, Henghai would not survive this year, and his battle to conquer Jingzhou would inevitably end in failure, because the young master would never sit by and watch such a good opportunity to slip away from him."

Li Anguo snorted: "That little beast...huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Gongsun Changming smiled: "That's true. The young master's divine strokes made Liu Chenglin have to turn to our Chengde, laying the foundation for victory for the construction of the Henghai in the autumn. Shi Yi, Yingzhou, will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely send troops to help Zhu Shou to suppress the rebellion. Suning is not in Shenzhou, and Shenzhou will send troops to coerce Shi Yi, and Shi Yi is afraid that Mingzi will not be able to help Zhu Shou with great swagger."

"Mr. Gongsun, are you sure Suning is not here, so will Shenzhou be like this? As far as I know, Suning has no problem with Shenzhou." You Yong expressed deep doubts.

Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "General You, don't forget that Shenzhou killed two thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers in battle this time. If you really want to talk about the hatred of Yingzhou army, the generals of the Shenzhou army are definitely much deeper than you and me. If you have the opportunity, how could they not think about revenge? Suning is there, and can restrain them. Suning is not here. Du Teng alone can obviously not control these generals. More importantly, although Huang Shang has a deep friendship with Suning, this person's overall view and strategic awareness are still outstanding. Moreover, this person has also been favored by the general manager, so I dare to assert that under such circumstances, this person will definitely consider the issue from Chengde's standpoint. Therefore, Du Teng is alone and will have to agree to send troops in the end."

After thinking for a while, You Yong had to agree that as both generals, Yingzhou suffered many casualties and injuries. Only those who were martial artists would have personal experience of the unforgettable pain.

"So, once we take Zhenwu, the young master will work with Cao Xin and win Henghai, then Chengde's strength will grow leap. As long as the management is properly managed, Chengde, which has added Dingzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Cangzhou, Dizhou and Dezhou, will form a three-legged tripod with Hedong and Lulong. Our geographical conditions are much better than Hedong and Lulong." Gongsun Changming said.

"But wait until then!" Li Anguo snorted coldly and said, "Cao Xin actually handed over all the military powers of Yizhou to that little beast, it was really nonsense."

Gongsun Changming heard what Li Anguo seemed to be reprimanding Cao Xin, but he smiled without saying a word.

"You Yong, Anmin, you two should act as soon as possible. Don't let that little beast take the lead. If he only uses Yizhou to capture Henghai, your face will be unstoppable." Li Anguo knocked on the table and said, "At that time, he will make him laugh at me, Chengde, for being a veteran, who is a wine bag."

You Yong stood up suddenly: "Don't worry, Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou work together, and the two sides will be together, how could they fall behind the young master? You Yong is not old enough to wield the sabre."

Li Anmin also smiled: "Don't worry, brother, I, a second uncle, will never let my little nephew underestimate you."

The two of them said goodbye together and left, leaving only Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming in the room.

Looking at Li Anguo who was coughing violently from time to time, Gongsun Changming was a little worried. After returning from Shenzhou, Li Anguo's physical condition did not improve, but instead became increasingly serious.

"What do you think of the doctor?" he asked with concern.

Li Anguo waved his hand: "Old problem, I was too careless when I was young, and I had a secret disease on my body. I was old and finally retribution came. But don't worry, my husband, you can't die for a while."

Gongsun Changming nodded: "An Min really needs to leave Zhenzhou earlier, and Li Tao and Li Yuan should leave quickly. Li Gong, I heard that Li Yuan has been living in the back hall of the Jiedushi during these days. There are many rumors outside, so you won't know?"

After Li Anguo came out for a while, he said quietly: "The appearance of Li Yuan really looks a bit like Che'er when she was a child."

Gongsun Changming laughed: "What's so strange about this? You and An Min are the same mother as Li Bo and Li Tao. Their appearance when they were young was a little similar to Li Che. Li Yuan was just young. If you grow older, it would naturally be very different. Just look at Li Bo and Li Tao."

"Madam can't bear to let go of Li Yuan. As long as she sees Li Yuan moving in her sight, although she is stunned and sometimes she smiles inexplicably, it's better than crying more than crying? After Che'er's death, her mind seems to be a little unclear. I'm really worried that if this continues, she will go crazy. Since Li Yuan can calm her wife and make her body better, it doesn't matter if she stays up for a while."

Gongsun Changming looked at Li Anguo without saying a word, but the dissatisfaction in his eyes was self-evident.

"Mr. Li, you are playing with fire."

Li Anguo smiled, stood up, patted Gongsun Changming on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not so confused yet. The sayings that the rumor that I want to pass the imperial examination in Li Yuan must have been spread by Suning, right? I know it in my heart."

"I know you know it, but I'm afraid that some of your old subordinates will not know it. Suning has been wandering around for more than a month and said, "Don't you don't know, right?"

"You Yong went out to control ten thousand soldiers, and Min Rou controlled the personal soldiers of the Jiedushi's office. What should I worry about?" Li Anguo looked at Gongsun Changming, "If you are really worried, there is a vacant gap in the garrison in Dongcheng. Why would you let Liang Han be the general of command?"

"Isn't Dongcheng Tan Guang?"

"Tan Guang is almost sixty this year, and it's time to give way to young people." Li Anguo said lightly.
