"There is good news and bad news." Gongsun Lan said as she walked to Li Jing's public housing in the Yuan Shuai Mansion. It was just seven o'clock in the morning. Li Jing was sitting in front of the table, turning the back with one hand and sending the newspaper news from half a month ago, while the other hand was holding a cup of hot milk.

"Tell the bad news first!" Li Jing said.

"The coalition seems to have made up the idea of ​​not wanting to evacuate at this time, and the Yang Fuguang brothers have decided to support the current emperor's seventh brother, Shou Wang Li Jie, as the new emperor. The new emperor is very likely to ascend the throne on New Year's Day. Once the new emperor ascends the throne in Chang'an, the alliance between the Yang Fu brothers will be more stable. The Supervision Bureau predicts that once the new dynasty is established, it may expand outwardly."

"The coalition forces dragged their hands and refused to leave. It seems that they may know that the Yang brothers wanted to support the new emperor. However, there is information that shows that the direction of the expansion of the new dynasty of the Yang Fuguang brothers is our Qinfan?"

"It is very likely that although Tian Lingzi was holding the emperor in Xichuan, there is intelligence that the Yang Fuguang brothers were not prepared to deal with Tian Lingzi first. Our Chang'an intelligence personnel have received some information. Yang Fuguang's new court will have twenty-eight vassal alliances. Among them, the strongest are the several vassal states in Henan and Hedong in Guanzhong. Even Wei Bo and Chengde in Hebei are now in secret contact with the Yang brothers, and they are very frequent. It is obvious that they are also preparing to join the new dynasty established by the Yang brothers in this alliance to fight us. In addition, even Gao Pian from Huainan, Zhou Bao from western Zhejiang, Zhong Chuan from Jiangxi and other Southeast vassal states were actively attracted by the Yang brothers. They have a great intention to recognize their loyalty to the new court."

Li Jing shook his head, "It seems that Tian Lingzi has been really unpopular over the years."

"In a certain way, King Qin, you are not very popular with the people of these vassal states." Gongsun Lan said with a smile. Today she wore a navy blue top that was lighter than blue and deeper than green. It was a new style general robe with double-breasted double-breasted double-breasted one with a ribbon on it, and a few commemorative medals for major tasks on her chest, two military medals for Yingyang and Huben, as well as an outstanding medal. On the golden ejaculation on her shoulders, there were two two-star major general ranks with two golden beans. This military dress made her look more neat and capable. Although her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, it did not affect the cool and heroic posture of the female general at all.

"The vassal states now have only two attitudes towards us. They are either cooperative or hostile. Because they know clearly that with the expansion speed of the Qin vassal states, many vassal states also choose to cooperate, such as Huaixi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Lingdong, Lingxi, and Annan towns. They are not strong in their own strength, and they have been members of the major families who have worked with us for many years as the ceremonial commanders. They have gained a lot of benefits in our trade in recent years, especially in the ceremonial markets. They have made a lot of money and have no reason to fight with us all the time. And those who followed Yang Fuguang did not have a good relationship with us, which is also due to interests. They cannot share our interests, and especially the vassal states such as Hebei, Henan and Longshang, are directly facing our threats. It is precisely because we are too strong, and those ceremonial states who face us head-on but refuse to give up their existing interests will inevitably go to the side that is right with us, which is inevitable."

"Aren't you worried?" Gongsun Lan put his hands on his lower abdomen, "If Yang Fuguang really wants to send troops to Qinfan, it will be a little trouble for us now. Although there are still many troops in the pass, they may advance from several routes by then. For example, Guanzhong towns attack Daibei from Zhenwu direction, Li Keyong, Wang Chongrong and others may attack Yanmen, Wei Bo and Chengde may attack Beiping, while Zhu Quanzhong and Zhuge Shuang may attack Shandong, Qin Zongquan and Zhou Ji may attack Henan, and Gao Pian may attack Jianghuai..."

"This is indeed possible!" Li Jing frowned. It was long since the initial vassal states fought against each other. Now it was the era of alliances of vassal states. The world of the Central Plains can basically be classified as three major vassal states. Tian Lingzi's Chengdu court, the Chang'an court that the Yang Fuguang brothers were about to build, and Li Jing's Grand Marshal's Mansion, each has an alliance.

Tian Lingzi was mainly based on Sanchuan. There were many vassal states, such as Eastern Zhejiang, Huainan, Western Zhejiang, etc., who were also listened to Chengdu courts, but now, together with the Yang family, the small court in Chengdu only has Sanchuan left. The Yang brothers, with the contribution of extermination of Huang Chao, are now extremely prestigious. They have won over more than 20 vassal states in the Central Plains, and even brought over Gao Pian, the vassal states that have long been away from the court, and even vassal states like Hebei. They occupied the Guanlong area of ​​the Central Plains, with the largest territory and the largest alliance of vassal states.

There is actually an alliance on Li Jing's side, but except for the Qin vassal, the other vassal states in this alliance are not strong, and they are very dispersed, and the alliance is a bit loose. The three towns in Henan, which were originally close, have been merged by Li Jing. The remaining two vassal states in Huaixi Yang Xingmi and Zhejiang Qianli were only exchanges of interests and are not reliable. If the Qin vassal states remain strong, they will definitely continue to obey. If the Qin vassal states fail, it will be difficult to guarantee that they will not betray or even fight back. As for Fujian, Lingnan, East and West, and Annan, the four towns in Annan, have relatively strong relationships, but there is also a disadvantage. They are all in the far southeast, and they are all vassal states with small forces and few armies. Once a war begins, it is almost impossible to rely on them to help.

Li Jing is not afraid of the towns, but the Battle of Bohai is not over yet. If the towns really attack in groups, it will be very troublesome.

"Have Huang Chao's forces been completely wiped out?"

"Huang Chao is dead, but the pseudo-Qi forces cannot be destroyed so quickly." Gongsun Lan said, "After the Battle of Chang'an, a large number of Qi generals from Chang'an, including Shang Rang, Meng Kai, Zhao Zhang, Wang Bo, Zhang Juyan, etc., fled. At that time, Zhu A San and Qin Shouquan entered Guanzhong from Wuguan and were in Lantian. Zhu A San and Qin Shouquan encountered the defeated Qi army. The two armies fought. Unexpectedly, Qin Zongquan was defeated in one battle, and Zhu A San retreated, opened up a way to let them escape from Guanzhong."

"Hmph, it's just a move of these two guys to preserve their strength. Who would be willing to fight with trapped beasts and damage their own troops?" Li Jing sneered. He pinched his chin and said with some fun: "So, the defeated army of the puppet Qi should have a considerable force."

"Indeed, after this defeated army left the gate, they went eastward. All towns retreated to the towns, avoiding fighting, and allowing them to plunder and flee eastward. At present, the defeated army has fled to Caizhou and Guangzhou, where is Qin Zongquan's territory, which seems to be. Did they continue to go east and reach Yinghao through Chen Xu? It was originally a territory occupied by the pseudo-Qi, and many generals were recruited from the Qi army. But there is also a possibility that they might go directly south to the Dabie Mountains, where is the continuous Dabie Mountains. If they escaped, they might go directly to the Dabie Mountains.

If they enter it, it will be difficult to wipe out for a while, especially the Dabie Mountains are located at the intersection of the three towns of Zhongwu, with Shannan, Eyue, Jiangxi, Huaixi, Hunan and Jingnan. They are a chaotic area. If they enter it and rest, they can greatly avoid the encirclement and suppression of each town. If I were the chief general of the defeated army, I would not go east, but go directly to Dabie Mountains. After resting and recuperation, I will go south to Eyue, Jingnan, Jiangxi and other places to go south to those places with the smallest power of the official army. Isn’t it just because of their repeated suppression?”

"I think this force is available."

Gongsun Lan was a little surprised, "Sanlang, the remnants of the pseudo-Qi Dynasty are extremely unpopular, just like rats crossing the street, everyone shouted to beat us. If we had something to do with them at this time, I am afraid that the Yang Fu brothers would have even more excuses to send troops to us."

"Hmph, the Yang brothers really want to send troops, sooner or later, no matter whether they have a legitimate reason or not, they will find a reason. Now that we are going to see the Yang brothers, why should we care too much about those? In recent years, the pseudo-Qi has indeed fallen, but you have also seen the results of several battles in Chang'an. They have repeatedly shown remarkable performances. Although there are reasons why various vassal states are preserving their strength and refuse to exert force, it cannot be denied that these thieves have led many soldiers for many years and still have a few outstanding figures. They are indeed like rats crossing the street, everyone is shouting and fighting, and they are very down and out. At this time, if we can take the initiative to contact and promise to provide protection and support, do you think they will cooperate with us?"

"Sanlang doesn't mean to recruit them?"

"It can be considered a recruitment, but I do not intend to let them directly on our territory. Therefore, this recruitment is actually to increase support to them, but we will not merge them, let alone disarm them. Therefore, at the beginning, we can save a lot of suspicion and cooperate directly."

"Cooperation? It's not about recruitment or annexation?"

"It's indeed cooperation, it can also be considered annexation, but it won't be annexation." Li Jing explained with a smile, "Didn't you say that there are still 40,000 to 50,000 defeated troops in the Qi army?"

"There are still 40,000 or 50,000, and there may be 20,000 or 30,000 veterans."

"I will issue an order to recruit them and grant them official positions, but they will not annex and disarm them. They can continue to stay in Cai Shen and other places in the upper reaches of the Huai River. With the Dabie Mountains as the base, we can transport them a batch of food, grass, and weapons to support them through the Huai River."

Gongsun Lan was a little confused and didn't understand the significance of Li Jing's move.

"Look at the location of Caizhou!" Li Jing smiled and said, "This location is very good. The source of the upper reaches of the Huai River is Chen Xu to the north, Luoyang to the north, Jin Shang to the west, and Guanzhong Chang'an to the west. The east is Ying and Hao to the east are our Xu and Su. To the south are the Dabie Mountains, Eyue and Jingnan towns, and to the south are the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is Hunan and Jiangxi. The Yangtze River is here. It can directly connect to the south of the mountain, south of the mountain, west of the mountain, and directly reach Jiannan Xichuan. When you go down the river, you can directly go straight to the south of the mountain, south of the mountain, and west of the mountain, and directly reach Jiannan Xichuan.

It was connected to Huaixi, Huainan, Xuanshe, and Liangzhe. I didn’t see clearly. It was connected to the east Huaihe River, to the west Han River, and to the south was the Yangtze River. Whether it was Chang'an or Luoyang, it was said to be close or not, but not far away. Especially with Dabie Mountains here, it was definitely a good place to gain a foothold, especially the nearby vassal states were not very strong. Qin Zongquan of Caizhou was entangled with the Qi army. Jingnan and E Yue were attacked several times by thieves a few years ago, and their vitality was completely damaged."

"As long as we support him, they can stabilize the decline and restore vitality. Then, think about it, will Yang Fuguang's rear be corrupt? Although the military strength of Jingnan, Eyue, Huaixi and Jiangxi are not good, this is Yang Fuguang and their granaries. The Qi army is here, which not only corrupts their granaries in the rear, but also threatens their Luoyang and Chang'an at any time, especially in Henan's western Henan. Our forces have already occupied Xusu and advanced to the Bian River and Huai River. With Yang Xingmi in Huaixi, if there is a nail in western Henan to respond, Ying, Hao, Chen, Xu and other southern Luoyang, it will be no longer safe."

Undoubtedly, Li Jing meant to use the remnants of Qi army to let them penetrate into western Henan like a nail to restrain the promising alliance of Yang Fuguang.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on this alone. Li Jing thought that maybe he could contact Xiatian Lingzi. Now the Yang Fuguang brothers are their common enemies, and they might be able to join forces. They should do something else, or he should send war troops to go deep into the enemy's towns to create trouble, such as assassinating Li Keyong as Zhu Wen's subordinate. I heard that Li Keyong has never looked down on Zhu Wen. Or, kill the Yang Fuguang brothers directly, so that the alliance will be in chaos for a while without a leader. Li Jing had many preliminary plans in his mind, but these plans were not mature yet, so he did not say them.

"You just said there was good news, what is it?" Li Jing changed the topic.

"The good news is that under our secret planning and promotion, in the Bohai Sea area, the Bohai nobles and powerful people have been incited. They are recruiting people to fight bravely against the tribal soldiers who want to "cut the roots" against them. Many of the Bohai people have also been incited, especially in those places we control. Now countless Bohai nobles have become our inner supporters, countless Bohai people have become our guides, and we even have a huge number of Bohai Seas.

The transport team and a Bohai Army that enthusiastically joined the army. "Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "Of course, the good news is not just this. The major good news is that the tribal coalition forces on the Eastern Front now have many generals. Under our rebellion, they have begun to shake, and even many have secretly surrendered to us. Even the great governor of the Hei Shui Mohe was hesitating. The entire Eastern Front is now a little shaky. No matter how stubborn the Khitans on the Western Front are, if the Eastern Front is shaken, they will be finished by then."

"Alan, you're doing a pretty job!" Li Jing praised.

"Your Highness is still a good strategy, especially sending the surrendered tribe troops such as Marin and brought some of the Qin troops back to the Hei Shui tribe. This move can be said to have hit the weak point of many Marin generals all at once. The war here has been in a dilemma, and their hometown is being threatened step by step by step by step, so it is inevitable that they will be shaken."

"Attacking the heart is the best, and attacking the city is the best. If the Marine people are shaken, the Shiwei people will also be shaken. At that time, other small tribes will be shaken even more. Even if the Khitans are stubborn, we don't have to worry about them." Li Jing took the last sip of milk in the cup and said with a smile.

"Sanlang, you still have some milk on your mouth." Gongsun Lan pointed to Li Jing's lips, then stood up and bent down, approached her lips, opened her red lips lightly, and stretched out her fragrant tongue and licked his lips.

"Clean!"

Li Jing couldn't help but stick out his tongue and licked the place where the beauty had just licked the fragrant tongue, and it still felt that there was still a lingering fragrance.

Hehe smiled, Li Jing's mood was indeed much more relaxed. In the battle situation in Bohai, the two sides had been playing for several years, accumulated countless troops and used countless materials, but in the end, it was very likely to be a battle with a start and abrupt end. The more people, the harder it was to fight. In this game, the situation between the two sides was clear before the war started, and the outcome had been decided.

Khitans, since you want to persist in resisting until the end, then the only thing waiting for you is destruction. Born with the flow, those who go against the current are often crushed by the torrents.
