~~~~~~

Chen Jisheng reacted immediately, and regardless of the public's attention, he slapped his mouth hard twice and said: "Yuan Qing, look at my mouth. Yuan Qing, please don't misunderstand me.

Brother, I have absolutely no other intentions..."

Chen Jisheng was at a loss for a moment, and his intestines were about to turn green.

At this moment, Chen Jisheng suddenly realized who was the real master of Liao Di...

In the hall, the generals of Chen Jisheng's department felt their hearts rising to their throats.

The head of my family actually said the wrong thing on such an occasion. What if...

No one is a fool.

Not to mention, this is the moment when the slightest movement of wind and grass would threaten everything.

On Mao Chenglu's side, the generals who were close to Li Yuanqing looked at Chen Jisheng angrily.

It's only been a few days. Chen Jisheng is such a naughty person that his tail is already sticking up to the sky. If this continues, what's the point?

The few neutral camp generals also had their eyes widened at this time. Although they did not dare to say anything, they were all watching the situation carefully.

Although they are also part of Dongjiang, they are entangled for various reasons and do not have much room to say. Naturally, they are anxious to decide the winner here and get over quickly and stabilize.

Li Yuanqing was calm at this time, and said with a faint smile: "Brother, we don't have to be like this between brothers. Besides, this visit to Beijing is indeed a good thing. The emperor wants to meet the commander's widow, which can be regarded as a gift to us.

The brothers all gave an explanation."

Based on Li Yuanqing's understanding of Chen Jisheng... Before Chen Jisheng even stuck his butt out, Li Yuanqing already knew where he wanted to go for convenience.

With his bad temper and bad temper, if he could become Dongjiang's home, he would be called a ghost.

This kind of person can only serve as a deputy by nature.

Because their shoulders cannot bear the responsibility at all, let alone ~~, it is as heavy as Mount Tai.

However, at this time, Chen Jisheng was still a very crucial chess piece for Li Yuanqing.

Especially~, Li Yuanqing knew very well that Chen Jisheng's words just now were obviously not thought through.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing did not take his 'little mistake' seriously, Chen Jisheng breathed a sigh of relief, but his face obviously could not be saved.

Fortunately, Chen Jisheng is no longer what he was before. So many years of pain and suffering have made him very clear that only if Li Yuanqing supports him can he sit safely in this position. On the contrary...he doesn't want to experience countless painful lessons again.

Yes.

Here, Mao Chenglu smiled hurriedly and said: "Yuan Qing, you have finally come to Pi Island once. Come on, let's not talk about these boring things. The banquet has been prepared. Let's eat some food first and drink some wine to warm up.

Let’s talk while eating.”

Although Mao Chenglu was clearly different from Chen Jisheng at this time, in the final analysis, they were just a superficial dispute of temperament, and there was no real and irreconcilable conflict of interests between the two parties at this time.

After all, they have been old brothers for so many years, and Mao Chenglu did not want Li Yuanqing to make things so tense just after he arrived.

Otherwise, if the incident spread to western Liaoning, it would be thought that he, Mao Chenglu, was using his power to bully others.

Chen Jisheng couldn't help but glance at Mao Chenglu gratefully, and said with a smile: "Yes, the brothers just pulled a big net this morning, and the fish is fresh. Let's chat while eating."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "That's fine. We just happened to have this opportunity. Today, we must have a good drink!"

…………

At this time, Mao Wenlong had passed the "May 7th" period that the people have always valued, so large-scale banquets were not suitable, but small-scale official banquets in the official hall would not be a big problem.

Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu were both prepared. They took out the delicious dishes hidden at the bottom of the boxes and opened more than a dozen tables in the lobby of the official hall.

As long as all the brothers who can be ranked on the island are basically here.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing's attitude had always been gentle, Chen Jisheng also relaxed a little. He quickly picked up the wine glass and smiled at Li Yuanqing: "Yuan Qing, brother, I have such a bad temper. Hey, sometimes I even get angry myself. Yuan Qing, come on,

Brother, here’s a toast to you.”

Li Yuanqing drank the wine in the glass with a smile, glanced at the people at the main table, and said with a smile: "Brother, Chenglu, we brothers hang out together for more than a day or two. It is inevitable for a couple to live a life of stumbling, let alone

What about the brothers? Therefore, in many cases, everyone must be considerate of each other. Is there anything that cannot be sat down and discussed carefully? "

Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu nodded quickly.

Next to him, Xu Fuzuo and Liu Guangzuo were also extremely respectful.

Everyone understood that after the pleasantries, Li Yuanqing had turned the topic to the main topic.

Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with everyone's attitude at this time, and said with a smile: "This is a troubled time. Brother, Chenglu, although we have discussed these matters before, the situation is different now. Chenglu wants to

I'm afraid we can only put it on hold temporarily. Brothers must work together to get over this hurdle first, and then talk about other things!"

The most fundamental reason why everyone at the table was a bit stiff before was that there was no one in charge and no one would obey anyone. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

But at this time, with Li Yuanqing personally in charge, these problems naturally disappear.

In terms of qualifications and prestige, who in the entire Dongjiang can compare with Li Yuanqing?

Chen Jisheng also came to his senses at this time and hurriedly said: "Yuan Qing, what news do you have?"

Next to him, Mao Chenglu, Xu Fuzuo, Liu Guangzuo, Geng Zhongming, and Kong Youxing all looked at Li Yuanqing eagerly.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "It's not about the news. But~, I have always had a feeling that the Tatars~ probably will not live well during the time I am in Beijing."

"this……"

Mao Chenglu frowned and said hurriedly: "Yuanqing, the Tatars just had a war at the beginning of the year, and it's so cold this winter. Huang Taiji shouldn't be so bold, right? He, does he want to fight on multiple fronts?"

Mao Chenglu subconsciously connected the Dongjiang Zuoxie Association with Liaonan. Even Chen Jisheng could not disobey Li Yuanqing's order.

As a result, a large, new "Dadongjiang Group" has taken shape. How can Huang Taiji get a good deal if he sends troops at this time?

Chen Jisheng, however, had some sense of Li Yuanqing's deep meaning. He shook his head and said: "Chenglu, there is no guarantee on this matter. The beginning of the year has always been the season for sending troops to the Tatars. In the spring and summer of this year, our Ming Dynasty's various fronts, although they are against the Tatars,

The Tatars have maintained a certain degree of initiative, but the main force of the Tatars has not been damaged. Especially if something happens to the commander-in-chief and Yuan Qing comes to Beijing again, I am sure that Huang Taiji will really be unable to bear it and send troops."

Geng Zhongming said: "Yes. If the Tatars send troops, I'm afraid, it is unlikely that they will attack us in Liaoning again. Whether it is western Liaoning, southern Liaoning, or our Dongjiang River, the defense lines are relatively tight, and the actual oil and water will not be too much. So.

Huang Taiji is so shrewd, I’m afraid he won’t easily bite hard bones like us. This~~, I’m afraid it can only be within the pass.”

Kong Youxing also said: "I also agree with what Lao Geng said. The Tatars' entry into the customs at the beginning of this year probably gave them a sweet spot. Although Li Shuai finally moved back 10%, the Tatars suffered a lot of losses. But

This time Li Shuai is going to Beijing, and he keeps coming back and forth..."

Although Kong Youxing had not finished speaking, how could everyone not understand what he meant? They all fell into silent deep thought.

Li Yuanqing lit a cigar slowly and took a long puff.

It may be an exaggeration to say that the personal qualities of the Dongjiang generals are superior to those of the Nine Borders.

But this group of people has been on the front line of the battle all year round, fighting against the Tatars. They are very ready mentally and physically for war, as well as in terms of readiness and acceptance.

The reason why Mao Chenglu is a little naive is mainly because he has been engaged in logistics work before and has always had a big tree like Mao Wenlong. He was still unable to change his thinking for a while and could not consider the overall situation.

But its own war literacy is not a big problem, it just takes some time to adapt.

But all this seems very good, but there is only one missing character who can make the final say and take charge of everything.

After a moment, when all the generals had almost turned their thoughts, Li Yuanqing said calmly: "Brothers are right. I have always thought that if the Tatars send troops, they are likely to move towards the inner direction of the pass. But with Huang Taiji's shrewdness, he has

It is impossible for him not to be fully prepared for the last big loss. If I, Dongjiang, want to launch a sneak attack from the east front again, I am afraid it will be much more difficult."

Chen Jisheng nodded with deep understanding, "Yes. Yuan Qing, the commander-in-chief incident did not seem to have any direct impact on Dongjiang, but the military morale of the brothers was not too stable during this period. Perhaps Shoucheng

There is more than enough, but if you really want to open up further, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."

Although Chen Jisheng has a thousand or ten thousand shortcomings, he is an "adjutant" after all, has a good strategic vision, and his technical and tactical skills are quite good.

Unfortunately, the inherent weakness of his character makes it difficult for him to stand alone and fully utilize his strengths.

At this time, if we just talk about technical and tactical qualities, I am afraid that even Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, may not be able to compare with Chen Jisheng.

Of course, this is only one side of the overall picture.

The Shang brothers are good at water battles, and the Geng brothers are good at raids, both are determined by their positions.

After all, at this time, both the Shang brothers and the Geng brothers were still at the level of mid-level officers. They were far from being like Chen Jisheng, who had been following Mao Wenlong. They were superior in terms of vision and tactics.

Mao Chenglu also nodded at this time and said: "Yuanqing, what Old Chen said is right. If the Tatars really send out troops during the New Year, we can probably defend Dongjiang. If we really want to send troops to fight the enemy head-on, I'm afraid something will go wrong."

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Yes. I have always had this worry. But as the old saying goes, we will eat as much food as there is appetite. If there is really going to be a war in the coming year, Dongjiang will not seek any merit, but he will never

We can’t let anything go wrong on the Eastern Front! Big brother, Chenglu. Today, in front of so many brothers, I will speak out first."

With that said, Li Yuanqing stood up and scanned the generals in the hall.

Everyone immediately put down their chopsticks, straightened their chests, and looked respectfully at Li Yuanqing.

Although Dongjiang under the rule of Mao Wenlong was domineering, full of factions, and the military system was slightly chaotic, they were all veteran generals after all. There were not many problems with the quality of these brothers.

Compared to Guan Ning, not to mention much better, but definitely not worse.

Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with the attitude of the generals.

Just like the famous saying of the Slavic Chinese national football coach back then: "Attitude determines everything."

Regardless of whether you can fight or not, at the very least, your attitude must be respectful.

After all, the war at this time was no longer like that of the Three Kingdoms era, where the direction of the war could be changed simply by relying on the bravery of generals and the inheritance of customs.

Even if Lu Bu is reborn, he will never be able to defeat the bravery of teamwork.

Li Yuanqing had already glanced around the hall at this time. All the generals did not dare to look directly at him and lowered their heads humbly.

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly and said calmly: "Dongjiang is the commander-in-chief's Dongjiang, it is my Li Yuanqing's Dongjiang, and it is also the Dongjiang of my brothers. But as the old saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. Today, we will first

This priority~ is determined!"
