Chapter 57 Qian Weikun

Now Gao Jie thinks that temporarily lending Xing Shengping's troops to Liu Yongxi is an extremely cost-effective transaction. Not only did the first battalion of troops become the fifth battalion of troops, but all the supplies and equipment are provided by Liu Yongxi.

Seeing that the little brothers who were on par with him or even two levels lower than him took this opportunity to get promoted and make money, many people on the Gao family army were moved by it.

Although Gao Jie was also promoted to the post because of his decision-making achievements, his troops were still in the past, and they almost changed their medicine. Some people even reduced their troops to varying degrees while being promoted.

After hearing the repeated boasting of Xing Shengping and Madam Mei, Li Chengdong was even more moved. He was very enthusiastic about how to recruit soldiers and expand his strength, and he wanted to become the second Xing Shengping now.

Although Xing Shengping had a very unhappy relationship with Li Chengdong in the past, this time he came to ask Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing for help, hoping that Gao Jie would borrow a soldier. Naturally, he hit it off with Li Chengdong and directly grabbed Li Chengdong.

Although Liu Yongxi hates Li Chengdong from the bottom of his heart, he has no psychological burden on borrowing Li Chengdong's power to deal with Liu Liangzuo. After all, this is to fight against poison, so under the running of Xing Shengping and Li Chengdong, the two sides reached a preliminary consensus.

Now Li Chengdong has personally seen these camps of Liu Liangzuo, and both he and Liu Yongxun made correct evaluations of the combat effectiveness of Liu Liangzuo's troops.

If Liu Liangzuo's troops were not prepared at all, it would be wrong. Liu Liangzuo was always prepared for the enemy's attack. However, in the eyes of Li Chengdong, a general who had experienced countless life-and-death battles, the deployment of troops in Liu Liangzuo's camps was similar to a joke. It was completely fine to deal with the harassment of ordinary local gangs and Linhuai officials and civilians. However, as long as he joined forces with Liu Yongxi, it would be no problem to do anything to Liu Liangzuo.

Moreover, Li Chengdong and Liu Yongxi had just confirmed an important information obtained from different channels in advance when they were walking around several camps, that is, Qin Dapeng's troops, with the largest number of troops and the strongest combat power under Liu Liangzuo, are not near Linhuai Pass now.

Although it is difficult to determine where Qin Dapeng’s troops are deployed at the bottom for the time being, they are definitely not near Linhuai Pass.

Liu Liangzuo's army lacked Qin Dapeng's army not only lost three or four thousand combat soldiers, but also had to be at least halfway through combat power. Li Chengdong felt that he had at least 70% chance of winning, and he could escape even if the war was not good.

Therefore, when Liu Yongxi repeatedly promised generous profits, Li Chengdong finally couldn't control his greed: "Since Brother Shengping and Chengyi Bo both said this, I'm not polite. Since the territory of Linhuai Pass is taken down and belongs to your Linhuai Town, we may have to get more spoils!"

Liu Yongxi was not polite to Li Chengdong: "This is no problem. The key is how many soldiers and horses General Li can pull out from Gao Pingbo. I have always been fair. The more soldiers and horses General Li pulls out, the more willing I will work harder, and the more rewards I will give!"

Li Chengdong couldn't help but smile: "Chenyi Bo is so polite. My little soldiers are still hundreds of miles away, and there are still hundreds of miles away from Linhuai Pass!"

Liu Yongxi knew that Li Chengdong was best at long-distance raids hundreds of miles away. He often thought that Li Chengdong's troops were still hundreds of miles away the day before, but the next day, Li Chengdong had already reached the doorstep.

What's more, this time, Li Chengdong was used to deal with Liu Liangzuo by using poison to fight against Liu Liangzuo, so Liu Yongxi definitely gave him enough benefits: "General Li, I am definitely sincere this time. Not only do I give enough money and food in advance, but also how many troops you send, how many soldiers will be used to replenish General Li afterwards. I will also divide the other spoils equally according to the people participating in the battle!"

Liu Yongxi's words really made Li Chengdong excited. Although Li Chengdong was considered a rising star in Gao Jie's army, since he was a rising star, he naturally suffered from the suppression of older seniors like Xing Shengping, and his development was greatly restricted.

Although Li Chengdong nominally claimed that his troops had 1,700 light cavalry and 3,000 elite infantry, his actual strength had to be reduced, with only 1,700 infantry and 300 cavalry, which was only 2,000 troops. The reason why he was extremely moved by Xing Shengping was that he felt that he had found a elixir to expand his strength.

Now the conditions promised by Liu Yongxi made Li Chengdong feel particularly helpful: "Then according to Chengyibo's wishes, I am willing to send out 1,200 infantry and 300 cavalry in this battle of Linhuai!"

Li Chengdong was preparing to put all the cavalry and most of the infantry into the Linhuai battlefield after obtaining Gao Jie's permission. The subsequent reward was almost doubled. For Liu Yongxi, Li Chengdong's participation in the war was crucial or even the key to the decisive victory.

Although he was prepared for this battle in Linhuai and even borrowed part of the troops of the Jiang Navy led by Liu Kongzhao, the combined force of the two groups of water and land was only 4,000 people, and the troops were still at an absolute disadvantage compared to Liu Liangzuo's troops.

Moreover, although Liu Yongxi's troops have good morale and equipment, there are too many new recruits, and half of them have even participated in the war for the first time. Although Liu Yongxi has seized every opportunity to train his troops with actual combat on the road to move north, he can only be at most half a pound of pounds when he really wants to confront Liu Liangzuo's troops.

However, the situation of the 1,500 elite soldiers who joined Li Chengdong was completely different. Not only did Liu Yongxi's total strength be invested in the battlefield exceed 5,000, but Liu Liangzuo's troops are now divided into more than a dozen camps and stationed. As a result, the coalition forces of Liu Yongxi and Li Chengdong have gained the advantage of force in various local battlefields, and Liu Liangzuo also had to worry about the sudden emergence of the military and civilians in Linhuai City from behind.

When Liu Yongxi thought of this, he specifically explained: "Let Qian Weikun think of more solutions. Didn't he say that Fengyang has many friends? If this matter is done, I will guarantee that he will have no worries about everything and a bright future!"

Xing Shengping took over Liu Yongxi's topic: "Don't worry, Mr. Qian Weikun only has such an opportunity at the moment, and he will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Qian Weikun, the one Liu Yongxi mentioned, was specially recommended to the court by Liu Kongzhao some time ago. However, in the end, Liu Kongzhao was so sad about this incident that everyone was beating, so he could only recommend Qian Weikun to Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi.

However, Liu Yongxi did not reject Liu Kongzhao's kindness, but instead planned to borrow Qian Weikun's power to solve the problem.

Qian Weikun is from Suzhou and is a Jinshi. During the Chongzhen period, he became the chief minister of Dali Temple. Before the capital was lost, he was even promoted to the governor of Changping by the court. However, he had already fallen before he could take office.

Moreover, Qian Weikun is also the core backbone of Fushe, and his relatives and friends are everywhere in Nanzhili.
