After the Liaodong War, the season just entered the middle of winter. When winter fell, heavy snow flew, and the whole of Liaodong was shrouded in cold. Every season was the most difficult season in Liaodong. Not only because it was cold, but more importantly, the cattle and sheep that the people of Liaodong could survive had no grass.

In previous years, it was very difficult, especially this year because this year happened to catch up with the invasion of the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army plundered on the Liaodong Plain. The people were just concerned about hiding and running for life, and did not prepare enough forage at all. When the winter came and heavy snow fell, the people of Liaodong fell into unprecedented difficulties.

Lu Zheng rushed back to Shengjing from Yanmen with great concern. This time, Liaodong won a great victory, and the importance of celebrating the merits was to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Therefore, after Lu Zheng's celebrating the merits, he turned to government affairs and couldn't help but feel anxious.

There is really nothing easy this year. Fortunately, Lu Zheng placed Gu Zhilun in Liaodong. The trade between the north and the south has not been interrupted since Lu Zheng arrived in Liaodong. However, now he has had a feud with Jiangnan and the food in the Central Plains cannot be transported in. The food shortage in Liaodong is already very serious, and it is difficult to have a winter!

"Prince, the prefectures near Lianshan are not at peace now, and the people are particularly in distress. Qin Yesi, an old thief, was too treacherous and vicious. When fighting in Huangzhou, the old thief actually came up with a ruthless move, which was to rely on the strong horsepower of the Northwest Army to let the soldiers abandon their baggage, give up resistance, and all escape freely!

Our army did not take much effort to attack them, but it really made them run away. Now the old thief has gathered more than 30,000 people and ravaged Lianshan. Everyone has horses, and they come and go like the wind, have strong combat power, and have no fixed residence. In the past two days, they have even harassed Huangzhou again. If this continues, it is not clear that they will fight to Shengjing one day!" The boy said in a low voice.

Lu Zheng frowned slightly, and after a while he said, "What do you think about the situation in the northwest?"

The boy said: "The northwest is very chaotic now. Song Naifeng is seriously ill and is said to be unable to stand up. He is completely collapsed. Judging from his age, he is really old. The Yangtze River pushes the old waves, which is also expected.

However, under Song Naifeng, Song Wenjie and Song Wenhua each have their own teams, and neither of them conquers each other. Moreover, these two people are far from Song Naifeng in terms of talent and mind. If Song Naifeng really dies, there will be another internal struggle in the northwest, Longyou should be completely quiet!

For us, we can focus our goals on the Central Plains. Tan Lei’s tail is now raised, Cao Weiming is revived, and he means to hold the emperor to order the princes. From the Central Plains to Jiangnan, Long Zhaohuan in Jiangnan has already proclaimed himself emperor, claiming to be the Emperor of Dakang and representing Emperor Xinde of Shandong as the Supreme Emperor. Such a farce is simply a laughing at the world!"

Lu Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and thoughts flew in his mind. Although this Liaodong battle was the best result, Liaodong was consumed very much in this battle, and the biggest consumption was financial and manpower.

Abandoning Liaodong and allowing Qin Yesi to drive in, Qin Yesi's cavalry pioneered only a hundred miles away from Shengjing. After this rampant, Liaodong was in disarray and countless people were displaced.

As a result, Lu Zheng won, but the price paid for regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a place is actually very high. Now the northwest is facing a crisis, and Lu Zheng has no way to look south for at least two years. It is said that this is both sides suffer.

"Qin Yesi, this thief, is so old! At that time, their army was in chaos. Once the cavalry lost communication and could not organize a formation attack, they would have the fate of being slaughtered. So he simply used his only strengths and allowed him to escape to tens of thousands of troops!

These tens of thousands of people are dead! Thirty thousand mouths open their mouths and eat a lot. Once there is no food and drink, they will come out to grab them. If this problem is not solved this winter, we in Liaodong may still not be able to recover our vitality in the beginning of spring next year..." Lu Zheng murmured.

"Is Song Wensong still in Shengjing?" Lu Zheng said.

The boy frowned slightly and said, "Song Wensong lives in Shengjing and is staying in a quiet place, thanking guests in a closed door. He has not appeared in public for so many days. It should be the news from the Northwest! After all, he is from the Song family!"

"Where is Qi Yuanzhi?"

"Qi Yuanzhi has come to you every day these days. His spirit and mentality are much better than before. Hehe, I think after a battle in Liaodong, he admires you, your son, and you know how to watch the sky from a well!

The Qi family is very good now, and the children of the Qi family are also seeking jobs in various yamen. The Chen family, Gu family and Zhang family in Jiangnan have also come to Shengjing one after another. Shandong produces grain, and Shandong can also trade with the Dongyi people. If this road can work, it may be an opportunity for us in Liaodong!”

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It is said that Qi Yuanzhi has come here. He knows a lot about Liaodong after all, and I still believe in him many things!"

Qi Yuanzhi walked lightly and almost ran all the way to Lu Zheng's living room. When he saw Lu Zheng, he saluted without being humble and arrogant, and said, "Qi Yuanzhi has seen the prince! I wonder what happened to the prince so anxious to draw Yuanzhi?"

Lu Zheng said: "Mr. Qi, although Liaodong has won, there are many crises at the moment! Needless to say, the people in the northwest are unjust, and they plunder the people of Liaodong. Now our people are in distress and helpless, starving to the wilderness. If the people are unstable, how can I gain a foothold in Liaodong?

Second, although the Northwest Army was defeated, Qin Yesi repeatedly invaded the border. Relying on the complexity of Lianshan, this old thief actually hid and took advantage of me. If this continues, I, the people of Liaodong, will not be sure!

In addition, Jiangnan is now independent, and the Central Plains are in trouble with us again. Food has become our shortcomings. If our external troubles cannot be resolved, the operation of Liaodong will become extremely difficult!

Today I am really bored and call you here, hoping to listen to your opinions!"

Qi Yuanzhi had a flat face and said, "The prince is really a good person. He is not arrogant or impatient when he has won this great victory. Instead, he is more worried about the country and the people. It is really their blessing to have a master like you!"

Now for Liaodong, it is a problem that Qin Yesi is rampant. Qin Yesi has tens of thousands of cavalry. So many troops are not horse thieves. To solve this problem, soldiers must be sent to recover them. There is no other way!

Our Liaodong army won a new victory, and the soldiers had just received the reward. At this time, if the prince wants to use troops, his morale can be used. I suggest that you send troops immediately and attack Qin Yesi while the cold weather is cold, so that he cannot live in Lianshan for a long time. Lianshan is unable to stand firm, so he can only go back to Longyou. In this way, our Liaodong will be peaceful!

For external troubles, the overall situation of the world has changed. Longyou changes, and the strength of the Central Plains is no longer balanced. Tan Lei will definitely not be able to stay in the capital. At this time, the prince can send envoys to Bianzhou, and Cao Weiming will definitely not dare to offend the prince. With the food and trade in the Central Plains, the crisis in Liaodong can be solved!

In addition to the Central Plains, the young master's foundation is still in Shandong. This time we won a great victory. The young master can ask His Majesty for convenience. Shandong has food, and you can also go to Shandong to look at Dongyi and Goryeo. Lord Gu has trade to be able to be compatible. Looking southward and northward, you can be like a fish in water. Why worry that our Liaodong cannot prosper?"

Lu Zheng laughed and stroked his hands, "Mr. Qi said it well, I am in a bad mood these two days. I feel much better after hearing what Mr. said! Now I want to ask Mr., how should I choose a general if I want to encircle Qin Yesi?"

Qi Yuanzhi frowned slightly and said, "Qin Yesi is not easy to deal with. He has a very high status in the Northwest Army. When it comes to strategy and military use, this person is under Song Naifeng! To deal with this person, Liaodong needs General Liu Song to be able to become enemies!"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Liu Song has been fighting well over the years, and he is a bit powerful, but he sometimes cannot guarantee his all-round success when he wants to play against a veteran like Qin Yesi! You must know that Qin Yesi is already red now. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, we cannot take it lightly!

I have a choice in my heart. Wen Song is from the Northwest Army. This time he has made great contributions in Huangzhou. I have already written to His Majesty. He will be enthroned as the Northwest General. I think if Wen Song goes to deal with Qin Yesi, it should be a good victory. What does Yuanzhi think?"

Qi Yuanzhi's face changed drastically, and he was really unable to speak for a moment. Lu Zheng wanted Song Wensong to take over Qin Yesi again? Aren't he afraid that Song Wensong would not come back this time?

As soon as he thought about this, he immediately thought that with Lu Zheng's scheming and wisdom, he could think of this point no matter what. The reason why he said this was probably a temptation. After all, in this battle to defend the city in Huangzhou, Qi Yuanzhi was with Song Wensong from beginning to end. Among the two, Qi Yuanzhi's will was shaken countless times, and even persuaded Song Wensong to plan his plan for another plan at the critical moment!

He immediately said, "Prince, the situation has changed. When Song Naifeng died in the northwest, the situation will definitely be in chaos. Although General Song is good at fighting, he has a close relationship with the northwest after all. If there is any relationship between him and Qin Yesi, the consequences will be extremely serious and may cause great disasters!

Prince, although Qi Yuanzhi was a counselor of General Song before, he has no longer had any relationship with the Song family since he surrendered to him. This time, since the prince asked, I can't be perfunctory, right? I don't think the prince can send General Song to the battle no matter what!"
