The strongest Marquis in history

Zhou Zishan looked confident, and said: "His Royal Highness, regarding the general plan for this battle, after careful study by Xiao Zhi and Captain Xiao for a period of time, the general direction of the strategy is to attack the west."

Wang Qi said: "How do you hit the east and the west?"

Zhou Zishan said: "The battle in Guangling County will still be fought by Lieutenant Xiao and Beizhi, and only 4 people are enough. If Yuan Wei in Yangzhou really sends troops into Guangling, His Highness will send troops from Xiapi to attack directly. Go to Yangzhou and attack Jiujiang County in Yangzhou."

"Jiujiang County borders our Xiapi country, and even after attacking Jiujiang County, it can attack Lujiang County again, so Yuan Wei can only withdraw his troops. If Yuan Wei rushes to help Guangling, the rear will catch fire. If he withdraws, then Shi Chong's here , is bound to fail."

"That's our decision."

"Even, through this battle, Jiujiang can be captured directly as a bridgehead for attacking Yangzhou in the future."

Zhou Zishan said: "At the moment we are still in the development stage, it is not appropriate to start a full-scale war with Yuan Wei, because it is not cost-effective to attack Yangzhou. But it can make Yuan Wei fear us, and this battle will have a certain deterrent effect."

Wang Qi thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "This plan is feasible."

Zhou Zishan said: "Right now, we just need to wait for the news from the front line."

"Report!"

At this moment, some soldiers quickly entered the camp.

The soldier stood still and said, "Master, there is the latest news from Guangling County."

Zhou Zishan said: "Hand it up."

He took the letter from the soldier's hand and waved his hand to make the soldier retreat.In turn, he put the letter in front of Wang Qi and said, "Please read it, Your Highness."

Wang Qi took it over, looked at it, handed it to Zhou Zishan, and said, "Shi Chong has already refused to submit. Shi Chong said that he only recognizes Chen Yan and does not recognize us. I guess the reason why he has the confidence to refuse is because of Yuan Wei's support." Otherwise, how dare a mere Guangling County compete with us to the end."

Zhou Zishan also read the letter again, and said: "What Your Highness said is true, we just need to follow the original plan. It's just that Yuan Wei was never mentioned in Shi Chong's letter. I'm sure the other party's idea is to Hit us by surprise. Or, prepare to flank us, this is the general plan of the other party."

Wang Qidao: "How to deal with the situation in Guangling County, military advisor, you and Xiao Qingzhi have a good discussion. Now we have decided to divide the troops into two groups. No matter which route goes wrong, the plan will be affected. This battle, you must win, even if the opponent has already Open your net and wait to win.”

"understand!"

Xiao Qingzhi and Zhou Zishan answered in unison.

Zhou Zishan changed the subject and said: "Master, Chen Yan is detained in the army, have you seen him?"

Wang Qi said: "You get rid of the military action, and I will interrogate Chen Yan."

"Yes!"

Xiao Qingzhi and Zhou Zishan followed and left.

After the two went down, only Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng and Kong Si were left in the camp.

Wang Qi ordered someone to bring Chen Yan up. Today's Chen Yan suddenly aged too much, even his hair was a little messy, and he no longer lived up to his former tidy appearance.

When Chen Yan saw Wang Qi, he chuckled and said, "Wang Qi, you are very proud now. You defeated the old man, captured the old man's Xuzhou, and now you are imprisoning me."

Wang Qi said indifferently: "Take you down, there is no sense of accomplishment at all. Because you have no ability at all, you are at most an old jerk in the officialdom, an old fox who has been in the officialdom. Seeing the benefits, you can't help but You have to reach out. If the people are in danger, you immediately retreat to protect your own interests. What is the value of a person like you? What sense of accomplishment can you get if you defeat you. "

Chen Yan snorted, "Your words don't match your heart."

Wang Qidao: "You are not worthy of me telling lies and deceiving others. Think carefully about what ability you have. Doesn't Xuzhou have talents? There are talents. What is the geographical advantage of Xuzhou? It is uniquely endowed with prosperous business."

After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "In the original Xuzhou, the economy developed well and the people were rich. Under your rule, it became a mess, with bandits and bandits, and even the local people didn't respect you. Tell me , what else do you have, let me look up to you."

brush!

Chen Yan's complexion changed slightly.

He didn't expect himself to be so worthless in Wang Qi's eyes.

It was so unbearable.

Wang Qi continued: "That is to say, you left the relationship of the East Palace and became the state shepherd of Xuzhou. If you don't use the relationship, based on your ability, at best you can be the prefect of a county. Even if you are given a county, you may not be able to manage it well. "

"you you……"

Chen Yan was so angry that his breathing became short of breath.

Wang Qi is too deceptive.

Too contemptuous of people.

Wang Qi snorted, and said: "What are you, isn't what I said the truth? Chen Yan, do you know why you are still alive and have not killed you for the time being?"

Chen Yan asked, "Why?"

Wang Qidao: "Because you still have some value, if you are willing to cooperate with this king, I can guarantee that I will not kill you and save your life."

Chen Yan's eyes became more vigilant, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Qi said: "It literally means, as long as you cooperate honestly, I will save your life. Are you willing? If you say no, it is very simple. I will give you a ride now."

Chen Yan began to hesitate in his heart.

Is it cooperation?

Or resist?

Chen Yan still hesitated in his heart for the time being, he didn't know what Wang Qi asked him to do.What is certain is that what he is asked to do is definitely not a good thing.

Chen Yan tentatively asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Wang Qidao: "Chen Yan, you have no choice. Do you cooperate or not? You think carefully now and give me the answer. If you choose not to cooperate now, I will give you a ride directly."

"If you agree to cooperate but don't cooperate in the end, I will make your life worse than death."

"What's more, you have family."

Wang Qi said: "It is said that disasters are not as bad as your family members. If you promise to cooperate with all your strength, but in the end you don't want to, then not only will your life be worse than death, but your family members will also be in danger."

When Chen Yan heard about his family, his heart sank immediately, and a frightened expression appeared on his face.

He forgot his family.

This is his weakness.

Chapter 485

Without hesitation, Chen Yan said, "Wang Qi, I am willing to cooperate. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

At this moment, Chen Yan completely confessed.

If you don't admit it, it won't work.

If he persisted, his family members would be killed directly, exiled, or even sold as slaves.This was something Chen Yan didn't want to see, so he could only give in.

Wang Qi said: "He who understands the current affairs is a hero. I believe you will not regret your choice today. At least you survived, and your family will be preserved."

Chen Yandao: "I don't know what the king of Qi asked me to do?"

Wang Qi said: "In the city of Xiapi, there are countless big families. Although the people are poor, the big families are very rich. There is no need to target big families that act justly."

"What this king wants to target is wantonly exploiting the people, hoarding money, and even the big families who only recognize money but not people. I will leave these big families to you to solve for me."

"I believe that you have served as Xuzhou Mu for such a long time, and this point can be made clear. I will let the soldiers under my command follow you, and you take people to visit the major families, so that the major families in Xiapi can spend money to keep them safe. "

Wang Qi said: "The more money and food you collect from these families, the safer your family will be. So this matter depends on your performance."

brush!

Chen Yan's complexion changed drastically.

He understood immediately.

Wang Qi wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, using him as a knife, let him deal with the big families.

Bloodletting on the bodies of the major families.

Chen Yan frowned suddenly, and said: "King Qi, the great family is the foundation and pillar of the place. Once there is a falling out with the great family, Xuzhou will also be in turmoil. At that time, Qi will also be affected."

Wang Qidao: "I don't need to bother you about this point. In addition, I hope you don't pretend to be smart and wash away the suspicion on you. This time, you took the initiative to propose a suggestion and are willing to help me ask for money and food, so I will spare you a little bit." Life."

"When you act, the news will spread from the outside. The people will say that you Chen Yan volunteered to survive, saying that the big families have committed many crimes, and you went to extort money."

Wang Qi said: "The major families in the local area will not be exterminated. Even if they are exploited, they can only endure it. Because they gave money, they can keep safe. Moreover, after all, they have committed many crimes. In these weekdays, the big families who exploit the people and fish and meat the people must bleed."

In fact, this blow was the result of Wang Qi's regress. To govern the region, if all the families were killed with one stick, the impact would be great, so Wang Qi used Chen Yan to weaken these big families.

Chen Yan's heart sank.

Wang Qi is so ruthless!

It directly cut off his retreat.

Of course, Wang Qi also made it very clear that he was attacking the rich and unkind big family.After this action, the local people will be grateful.But the object of the people's gratitude is Wang Qi.The object of the aristocratic family's resentment is his statement.

Because the big family can't deal with Wang Qi.

Can only hate him.

But Chen Yan also knew that by now he didn't even have any power available.No matter what task Wang Qi gave, he had to agree. Chen Yan said: "King Qi, I am willing to do it and promise to complete the task."

"very good!"

Wang Qi nodded, looked at Kong Si, who was sitting below and had never spoken, and said, "Kong Si, you follow Chen Yan. You are a smart person, and I believe you should know what to do."

Kong Si said: "Guaranteed to complete the task."

Wang Qi said: "Come here, take Chen Yan down."

"Yes!"

The soldiers were ordered to retreat with Chen Yan.

Wang Qi said: "Mr. Kong, when I finish this battle with Yangzhou, you will go north with me, return to Linzi, and work by my side. Now I am lacking a master book under my command, so you will be the master book of Qi Wangfu." job."

"Follow your orders!"

When Kong Si heard it, he immediately became excited.

Look, very excited.

He chose to submit to Wang Qi early on, and up to now, serving as the master book under Wang Qi's command is a core position.In the future, if Wang Qi rises, he will have great merits.

Wang Qi said: "I left [-] soldiers to guard Xiapi County. With [-] soldiers, can we complete the task?"

Kong Si said: "3000 people are enough. What's more, this time it is only aimed at rich and unkind big families, not other decent families. The burden will not affect His Highness. The common people will be grateful for His Majesty's actions."

The corner of Wang Qi's mouth twitched into a smile, and said, "I will wait and see."

Wang Qi has never had any good impressions of the big families who exploit the common people.Because of the war in Qingzhou, there are no big families. Langya Kingdom, Donghai County and Pengcheng Kingdom have been dealt with a little bit.

Now Xiapi is here, because it is the political and economic center of Xuzhou, and there are many big families gathered here, so it must be tidied up.As for the possible troubles, Wang Qi believed that Kong Si's presence was enough to solve all the problems.If this problem cannot be solved, then it is not Kong Si.

Kong Si said: "Your Highness, let's prepare for the humble position."

"Go!"

Wang Qi nodded.

Kong Si nodded in response, then turned and left.When Kong Si was about to leave the camp, Wang Qi suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Kong Si turned around and said, "What else does Your Highness have to say?"

Wang Qidao: "Next, I will send troops south to Jiujiang County, Yangzhou. After I leave with the troops, Xiapi County will be presided over by you for the time being. In addition, the Prime Minister of Xiapi Kingdom, Hou Jing, will be transferred to Qi State in Qingzhou. Serve as Prime Minister of Qi."

"The Prime Minister of Xiapi who is free, you can figure it out. As the benefit of blackmailing the major families this time, it is up to you to arrange it. With this benefit, I believe that it will be easier for you to arrange things."

"In addition, you can make arrangements for the rest of the people who will join you in surrendering to the king. They can be transferred to Qingzhou, stay in Xiapi, or stay in Xuzhou."

Wang Qi said: "The new Xuzhou Mu is about to take office, and all arrangements will be made by then."

Zhao Shao went south from Linzi, observing the situation in Qingzhou, Langya Kingdom and other places along the way, and his speed was slow.Wang Qi's army has already arrived at Xiapi, but Zhao Shao, the new Xuzhou Mu, has not yet arrived.

Kong Si excitedly said: "The humble post obeys!"

At this moment, Kong Si no longer had the slightest worry in his heart, only a deep expectation.With the official position of Prime Minister of Xiapi, his next actions in Xiapi will be even easier.

Wang Qi waved his hand, Kong Si turned and left.

After Kong Si left, Wang Qi immediately began to mobilize soldiers.However, he never dispatched troops immediately, and only led his troops away after dark, leaving quietly.This time, going south to attack Jiujiang County was a secret operation, and they could not leave in a big way.
