    The reason why Wang Qi and his party only returned to Qingzhou at the beginning of the month was because when they were heading south from Yuyang County in Youzhou, it snowed heavily, making the road difficult to travel and traveling even slower.  If it had been the weather when the winter snow melted after the beginning of spring, Wang Qi would have returned to Qingzhou long ago.

    Soon after the army led by Wang Qi entered Pingyuan County in Qingzhou, news came back from the Yan State.

    In Youzhou, Shanggu County and Dai County surrendered to Wang Zongxi, and Yuyang County also changed its flag and returned to Wang Zongxi's command.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Huai sent Tian Yue to Yuyang County to seek peace on behalf of Yan State.

    The Yan State requested peace, but Wang Zongxi refused, and Wang Zongxi even killed Tian Yue.  Then Wang Zongxi sent someone to spread the word, saying that he would definitely invade Yan State and would not accept Yan State's peace proposal.  Wang Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Zongxi's handling.  After all, Wang Zongxi's power was enough to destroy Zhu Huai.

    After Wang Qi received the news, he walked a short distance and received another letter, sent by Wang Zongxi.

    Wang Qi was a little surprised after reading the contents of the letter.

    The letter was written by Zhou Zishan. Zhou Zishan's letter stated that Zhu Huai arranged for Tian Yue to go to Yuyang County to seek peace.  However, Tian Yue had selfish motives and betrayed Zhu Huai directly. He wanted to submit to Wang Zongxi and work for Wang Zongxi internally and externally.

    Wang Zongxi was prepared to agree. After all, the Wang family and the Tian family had some contacts in the past.  It was only Zhou Zishan who persuaded Wang Zongxi to kill Tian Yue.

    Zhou Zishan¡¯s starting point is simple.

    First, to destroy Zhu Huai, Youzhou must be unified, which is a general direction; secondly, a family like Tian Yue cannot appear again in Youzhou, so after killing Tian Yue, he will next attack the Yan Kingdom.  Eradicating the Tian family together will be conducive to the changes in Youzhou.

    Third, Zhou Zishan believes that even if Zhu Huai asks Zhang Shiqi of Jizhou to intervene, there will be no problem.  Because Wang Qi is in Qingzhou, it is enough to deal with it.  As long as Zhang Shiqi dares to attack Youzhou, Wang Qi can attack Jizhou.

    This is a consideration of Zhou Zishan.

    Zhou Zishan even wanted to drag Zhang Shiqi into the water and get Zhang Shiqi involved.

    After Wang Qi understood it roughly, he also agreed with Zhou Zishan's arrangement.  Qi's national power has increased significantly, enough to fight on multiple fronts.  Wang Qi doesn't know yet whether Zhang Shiqi will intervene in the Youzhou battlefield, but Wang Qi has made preparations early and can deal with it calmly.

    Wang Qi stopped wasting time and headed south at full speed, returning to Linzi in the shortest possible time.

    It was already early January when Wang Qi returned to Linzi.

    He rested for a day, and Chen Qinglong hurriedly came to see him.

    Wang Qi said: "Chen Qing, what's the matter?"

    Chen Qinglong reported: "Your Majesty, after I returned to the Intelligence Bureau to deal with the matter, I sorted out the news and just received news from people stationed in Yangzhou. Yuan Wei has become more and more brutal in Wu County, and there are already complaints in Yangzhou. In addition, I  I also received two letters from Wang Ce, the prefect of Danyang County, and Meng Chong, the prefect of Kuaiji County, each sending letters asking to surrender to the king."

    As he spoke, he immediately handed over the letter.

    Wang Qi took the letter and browsed it quickly. When he saw the contents of the letter, he smiled brightly.  The content of the letter is very simple. Wang Ce, the governor of Danyang, and Meng Chong, the governor of Kuaiji, are willing to submit to Qi.

    This is a good thing.

    This means that Yuan Wei has lost his heart and the conditions for attacking Yuan Wei are ripe.

    Wang Qi thought about it carefully and then ordered: "Come, summon Zhu Shanchang, Zhuge Feng, Mi Huang, Yang Shanjun, and Qiu Ji into the palace."

    The chamberlain outside the palace replied and immediately went to deliver the order.

    Wang Qi said: "Chen Qing, you immediately mobilize people from the Intelligence Bureau to increase infiltration into Wu County, especially to recruit Wu County officials to rebel. Next, we will start dealing with Yuan Wei, you do it immediately."

    "yes!"

    Chen Qinglong immediately agreed.

    He bowed and left in a hurry.

    Wang Qi waited quietly. After a while, Zhu Shanchang, Zhuge Feng, Mi Huang, Yang Shanjun and Qiu Ji entered hand in hand. After the group stood still, they all saluted Wang Qi.

    Wang Qi said: "The original plan was to attack Yangzhou Yuan Wei after the beginning of spring. The news just sent back by Chen Qinglong was about Yangzhou. Wang Ce, the prefect of Danyang County, and Meng Chong, the prefect of Kuaiji County, both sent letters expressing their submission. And  In Yangzhou, Yuan Wei is heartbroken and no one supports Yuan Wei."

    "The conditions for us to attack Yangzhou are mature and we can send troops."

    "The current problem is that in Youzhou, Zhang Shiqi from Jizhou is very likely to intervene in the battlefield in Youzhou. Therefore, when attacking Yangzhou, it is necessary toHe arranged for people to lead troops north and stationed them in Pingyuan County to ensure that they could rush to assist Youzhou at any time.  "

    Wang Qi looked around at the crowd and asked, "That's basically what happened. What do you think?"

    Zhuge Feng thought for a while and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Xiao Qingzhi is enough to attack Yangzhou and no more troops are needed. This time to station at the border of Pingyuan County, General Yang's army will be mobilized, led by General Yang and Military Advisor Qiu  Lead troops to sit at the border."

    "In this way, as long as Jizhou sends troops to intervene in the situation in Youzhou, we will directly attack Jizhou."

    "However, I believe that the most important task at the moment is to capture Yuan Wei. Yangzhou is a trapped beast and there is no foreign aid. As long as we capture Yangzhou, Qi will occupy half of the south. With enough hinterland, it can truly establish a foothold in the world.  ."

    "Of course, when Jizhou is destroyed and Jizhou and Youzhou are connected together, the foundation of Qi will be further consolidated."

    Li Zhuge Feng talked eloquently and said: "The situation is changing, and our strategies have also changed with the times. The current situation is to deal with Yuan Wei first. If Yuan Wei is destroyed, there will be a basis for unifying the world."

    Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, the foundation of Qi State is solid, the population is also increasing, and commerce is also developing. On this occasion, we can fight on two fronts."

    Mi Huang immediately echoed: "When it comes to the money and grain needed for the war, the household department has sufficient food and abundant money. Although agricultural taxes have been exempted, Qi's business has become more and more developed, especially the Xuzhou salt industry and Qingzhou's wine industry.  Industry and other industries, our country is making a lot of money. Now, whether it is money or food, it is enough to supply."

    Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In that case, let's fight quickly. Mr. Yangshan, you lead your troops north to station at the border of Pingyuan County to shock Jizhou."

    "yes!"

    Yang Shanjun and Qiu Ji answered in unison.

    Wang Qidao: "Shanchang, you, your brother, and Minister Mi will work together to deal with domestic matters. This time to attack Yangzhou, I will personally lead my troops southward and drive straight in to destroy Yuan Wei in the shortest possible time."

    "I obey!"

    Zhu Shanchang, Zhuge Feng and Mi Huang answered in unison.

    Among the three, Zhu Shanchang is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhuge Feng is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Mi Huang is the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry.  Although there are other ministries and institutions in the imperial court, the three have the most say and are the most important.

    Wang Qi arranged things properly and waved everyone to leave, because the army also needed to rest and a certain amount of money and food had to be allocated, so Wang Qi still needed to wait for time.

    Wang Qi rested in the palace for two days to relieve his lovesickness with Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen. At this time, the food, grass and money were ready. Wang Qi took Xia Houhu, Yan Chixing and others to escort the food, grass, etc., and went straight to Guangling County.  Xiao Qingzhi's garrison went.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
