This invitation looks so simple, but every time Li Quanzhong reads it, he feels the tendons on his calves become a little tighter.

Li Jing was already the King of Qin, almost the uncrowned emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He was young and in his thirties, he had become the most powerful vassal commander in the world and was at his highest position. Half of the East needed to look up to him, and everyone was in awe of him. Why did he call him to Yanjing for a banquet at this time?

Unreasonable.

He thought that although Zhuozhou was close to Youzhou, it belonged to two states after all. The two were hundreds of miles apart. Li Jing asked him to run hundreds of miles to have a dinner party, which was really confusing. Maybe Li Jing wanted to hold a Hongmen banquet? There was no good banquet. Last time Li Ke used it to attack, he retreated directly from Zhuozhou. He wanted Li Jing and Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong to start a war in Mozhou. Who would have thought that it would be the result now, alas.

A few days ago, when Li Jing returned to Yanjing with a huge army with a large army, Li Quanzhong did not go there in ill, but asked his eldest son Li Kuanwei to go to greet him on his behalf. I remember that after his son came back, the scene was extremely spectacular. More than 500,000 soldiers and civilians in the entire Yanjing City rushed to twenty miles outside the city to welcome the triumphant victory of the world's military marshal, almost the whole city was dispatched.

At the welcome of countless people, Li Jing was wearing shiny golden armor, and the extremely fierce flying tiger son Black Crow Li Keyong's wife Liu Yunniang, the legendary woman, was wearing a peacock woven golden cloak. The cloak fluttered in the wind, and the inside was a red robe, looking handsome and heroic. She was only twenty years old, but she was Kohe Dun of Shatuo, Princess Jin, and a female marshal who commanded thousands of troops. But at that time, such a shining woman was just a setback for Li Jing.

Li Jing sent troops to Yanmen Town. In a short period of time, he defeated Li Kexiu, Li Kening, captured Liu, and defeated Li Keyong. The powerful Shatuo was simply vulnerable under Li Jing's attack. Now, Li Keyong's life and death are unknown, Yanmen Town is divided into two halves. Shatuo's princess was taken by Li Jing as a spoil and showed off to countless onlookers!

Over the years, the people who chose Li Jing fell down one by one.

Li Keyong led the Black Crow Army, once known as the strongest cavalry in the world. This one-eyed dragon who went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, could shoot down two eagles with one arrow. He once fought alone in the Eight Towns, and was still honored even though he was defeated. When he returned to the Central Plains again, made a comeback, and became the second king of a different surname to be named prince today. Countless people thought that he would be Li Jing's opponent.

But who would have thought that Li Keyong would get off quickly and he would lose quickly. He would defeat him in the second attack on Yizhou.

Within a year, they were defeated by Li Jing, and this time they were even captured by five states, and even their wives and children were beaten away. They lost their wife and soldiers.

It can be said that after defeating Li Keyong, Li Jing's prestige reached a new peak, an unprecedented peak. After his son came back, he still missed the grand welcome scene and admired Li Jing very much.

Li Quanzhong lived in Hebei for many years and was in Hebei for many years. He can be said to be a local faction. However, Li Jing is now the one who has won the support of countless people in Hebei, and he is not even a Hebei person.

Does he want to attack me?

Li Quanzhong watched the invitation and thought silently.

Please post a beautiful slim gold style character. This is the calligraphy created by Li Jing, but it is no longer unique to Li Jing. Countless literati in the world are learning this slim gold style character, and now you can see the characters in this slim gold style everywhere. However, the characters on it are the most beautiful slim gold style he has ever seen. Perhaps this is really written by Li Jing.

Is this going to settle the bill after autumn?

I thought that the three armies of Qin, Jin and Zhao would fight in Mozhou, but they did not. Li Jing unexpectedly sent troops to depart North, but the Shatuo people were as anxious as a dog that was stranded. Then he thought that Li Jing would take advantage of the victory and completely wipe out Shatuo, but the result was still unexpected. Li Jing not only did not continue to use troops to Shatuo, but instead withdrew his troops and retreated back to Hebei.

There was no movement that Li Jing would continue to beat Shatuo, the dog who fell into the water, and the matter was a bit unreasonable.

But since Li Jing is not going to beat Shatuo, the dog that falls into the water, he is most likely to be the next one. Compared to the Shatuo remnants far away in Yanmen, Zhuozhou, which is under Li Jing's nose, it seems that Li Jing is even more worried.

The Shatuo people are now huddled in Yanmen, and Wang Jingchong also retreated in Chengde. Only Li Quanzhong, who lost the two states of Yiding, has only one state in Zhuozhou. He has few soldiers in the land, but the one who is the first to bear the brunt is placed in front of Li Jing's royal city. Thinking of this, he was frustrated and grey.

If Li Jing really plans to deal with him, he must have prepared a detailed plan.

What should I do? Show my loyalty to Li Jing again?

The last time Li Jing did not annex Yiwu Town was because there were two great enemies, Chengde Town and Yanmen Town. If Li Jing forced him too quickly, he would turn to the other party. But now, Li Keyong did not know his life and death, and the Shatuo people were not able to protect themselves. Wang Jingchong was also retreating. Even if he really wanted to join forces with them again, it would be useless.

No one can save Yiwu Town except himself!

But with the 30,000 combat soldiers and tens of thousands of young and strong people in his hands, how should they protect themselves?

It seems he has to attend this dinner!

Or I mistakenly blamed Li Jing, maybe this invitation was just a good intention, or it was just an ordinary dinner.

But this is Li Jing's invitation, that's Li Jing. If Li Quanzhong has learned something for many years, then no one should believe it. Especially for people like Li Jing, they seem full of benevolence and righteousness on the surface, but the methods behind them are absolutely not considered benevolence and righteousness.

Just when Li Quanzhong from Zhuozhou was upset and helpless and disheartened, Li Jing was also thinking about how to treat Li Quanzhong in the Qin Palace in Yanjing City.

Li Quanzhong, the former Lu Long captain, later became the leader of the army step by step until he seized the opportunity to seize Yiwu Town. At the peak, he once supported Yiwu Town on the left and Lulong Town on the right. This is a very cunning guy, good at changing his responsibilities. It can even be said that this guy is a loyal guy. He was once Li Keju's confidant general, but when Li Keju needed him the most, he betrayed Li Keju without hesitation, colluded with Liu Yue, and finally drove Li Keju away. He won himself a piece of his own territory.

Later, he formed an alliance with the three towns in Hebei. With their help, he captured Yiwu Town. But not long after, he ignored the alliance and sent troops to Lulong, seized Lulong Town, and betrayed his allies.

This is completely a poisonous snake, or an ungrateful wolf who is not well-raised.

Now Li Quanzhong is surrendering to himself on the surface, but that's because he was attacked by Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong and had no way to go. In essence, this is still a ungrateful wolf. From this time when Li Quanzhong faced Chengde and Yanmen's attack, he gave up Yi Ding and retreated to Zhuozhou. It was obvious that he was trying to lead the disaster to the east, hoping to fight the three armies of Qin, Jin and Zhao, so he had the plan to watch the fire from the other side of the river.

When Li Jing sent troops to rescue Li Quanzhong, he did not want Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong to expand their power too quickly, which was also a strategic need for the Qin army. But now, Li Quanzhong has no effect on the Qin army. The Qin army had just defeated Li Keyong. Now Wang Jingchong was so scared that he avoided Cheng De and had an absolute advantage in the Yidingzhuo territory.

Without the interference of Chengde and Yanmen Towns, the Qin army can now free up their hands to deal with Li Quanzhong.

"Zhuozhou is the southern gateway of Yanjing, connecting the two states of Mo Ying, which is extremely important to us. We must never let people like Li Quanzhong control this place. How can others sleep soundly on the side of the bed? What's more, it's a white-eyed wolf like Li Quanzhong squatted on the side of Yanjing. I think that when taking advantage of Shatuo's new defeat and Wang Jingchong's power is unable to intervene, we will send troops to destroy Li Quanzhong, take Zhuozhou, and then seize the two states of Yiding. In this way, we can control both sides of Feihu Xing and Puyin Xing, truly control the five states of Daibei and completely isolate the Shatuo people in Daibei. In this way, we can deal with Chengdezhen with peace of mind in the next stage." The General Instructor of the Staff Jingxiang reported to Li Jing's proposal.

Wang Pu, the Minister of War, pointed to the sand table in Hebei and said, "We are currently in Mo, and there are 60,000 heavy troops stationed in the two prefectures of Ying. This heavy army has been monitoring Chengdezhen. Last time we sent troops to Daibei, we did not use this army. Only when Wang Jingchong attacked Zijing Pass later did he attack Chengdezhen and forced Wang Jingchong to withdraw his troops. If we want to use troops against Li Quanzhong, we can transfer 20,000 troops from Mo Ying to attack from the south of Zhuozhou, and then transfer 30,000 troops from Yanjing to attack from the north. In addition, we can also transfer a navy from Tianjin Chenghai Port under construction into the canal to fight together."

Li Rang, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "Li Quanzhong now has only one Zhuozhou territory, with only 20,000 soldiers in battle, and no more than 50,000 young and strong. Moreover, Zhuozhou is flat and has no danger to defend. If our army uses 60,000 troops to attack from both sides of the north and south, and a navy team cooperates, then the battle is expected to end at most three months. It is expected that the consumption of food and grass will cost 3 million guan!"

Li Jing stood in front of the sand table with his hands in his arms. Hebei is now very smooth. However, when he just heard Li Rang say that it would cost at least three million guan to fight this battle, Li Jing was a little hesitant. The Qin army did not have any military pressure to fight Li Quanzhong. However, the military expenditure made him a little undecided.

In fact, wars are almost everywhere in the world, even Annan, which is far away from the ends of the world, is fighting. Even the great rear of Sanchuan, where the emperor hunts the west, is still wars. The vassal states are fighting, and there is almost no place to be calm.

The world is full of war, and serious consequences have begun to appear. Most young and strong people go to war, and the farming production in various places is too delayed, which means that the fields are deserted and famines are everywhere. Then the famine leads to refugees everywhere, and then bandits are constantly in the process. The vicious cycle is getting worse and worse.

Even the Qin vassal states, although it had a relatively stable rear, expanded too rapidly over the past year, dozens of new states were added, millions of people, and food began to appear in short supply. Moreover, due to the constant wars in various places, the Qin army's economic pillar, industry and trade, has suffered a huge blow, with orders reduced and workshop production decreased. Not only did the workshop owners and merchants suffer a great loss, but workers also have insufficient work, and the income has also dropped sharply, and the Qin vassal tax revenue has also dropped sharply.

This was a chain reaction. Li Jing seemed to have returned to the time before the liberation and to the time when he was in debt all day.

Now it costs another three million to beat Li Quanzhong. Li Jing, who used to throw a few million or two, would be reluctant to let him go.
