Chapter 155 The World's Granary
Li Jing was not in a hurry, but waited for the situation to stabilize. In fact, Zhang Liang's statement of stability was just an excuse to give General Wang and others a chance to withdraw.
As for what Prince Guangling wanted, he no longer cared.
Guangling City is gone.
Zhao Yi no longer had his base, so naturally he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Li Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Zifang, where will Zhao Yi go in the future?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you want to know?"
Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "He has no power now!"
"If you lose the war, you will be nothing more than a rich man at best."
"So, we don't have to worry."
After hearing this, Li Jing was slightly stunned again, grinning and said: "You are right!"
Zhang Liang suddenly said at this time: "Let's go, let's go."
Li Jing and Zhang Liang entered the city.
---------------
Tai'an City.
Xu Ping'an sat in front of the desk, with information piled up on the table. Ever since Li Jing and Guangling confronted each other, information from Jiangnan to Tai'an City came here like snowflakes.
A lot of intelligence was handled by the Jinyiwei, but for major decisions, Xu Ping'an still came forward to issue orders personally.
"Your Majesty, Guangling has been stabilized!"
"General Li and Mr. Zhang have submitted a detailed document containing strategies for governing Guangling. Please review it!"
While talking.
The official in charge of handling the documents has already handed them to Xu Ping'an.
After receiving the document, Xu Ping'an quickly read it through and then wrote a comment on it: "Approved!"
Then he ordered people to ride as fast as possible to Guangling.
Two days later.
Zhang Liang received the document reviewed by Xu Ping'an, and after reading it, he also had a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, we think alike."
He handed the document to Li Jing. After reading it, Li Jing nodded and said, "It is good to conquer them, but the primary task is to govern them well. Otherwise, even if we conquer many cities, it will be meaningless."
"The people of Guangling have already won over the people. There are still some remnants of the King of Guangling around. Some have stayed in the military camp, and some have returned home."
"Next, we will begin to use troops in southern Xinjiang!"
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said, "General Li is a man who likes fighting. Has he started to have ideas about southern Xinjiang?"
Li Jing chuckled and said, "Zifang, to be honest, I think about you day and night!"
"You don't know, seeing Zhao Bing doing this, hiding in the dark, I am at a loss as to what to do."
"I think these ideas were all proposed by his adviser Nalan Youci."
"Now that I think about it, this guy is really amazing. No wonder he is as famous as Li Yishan and others."
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "This person just doesn't want to come out."
"But it doesn't matter. We can govern Guangling first, and then wait for the right time to open the gate to Southern Xinjiang. By then, there may really be a war."
Li Jing stared at Zhang Liang and asked suspiciously, "Zifang, what do you mean? Do you also think that we will have to fight a big war with Nanjiang next?"
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Yes, we must fight!"
“And it was a large-scale battle.”
"This Nalan Youci is definitely not a good person!"
"When we conquered Guangling, he came up with a vicious plan to make the women and children in the city stand on the city walls. Although he used someone else's words, his actions are truly chilling!"
After hearing this, Li Jing was furious and asked, "What?"
"This old man has come up with such a vicious plan. If I catch him, I will make sure he is neither alive nor dead!"
"This old man."
Zhang Liang said quietly, "Don't jump to conclusions now. This Nalan Youci is indeed surprising. All the strategies he has made can make Nanjiang invincible, but it is also his arrogance that will kill Nanjiang."
Li Jing seemed to understand something and said with a smile: "So, Zifang, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Liang grinned and said, "I want a letter here, it's for Zhao Bing. It's also a gift from the prince to Zhao Bing."
Li Jing was startled, staring at Zhong Zhangliang and asked, "Zifang, so you guys already have a plan?"
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "We can't use normal means to deal with such people. Zhao Bing has been in Southern Xinjiang for a long time and has a very clear understanding of the affairs of Southern Xinjiang."
"When we enter southern Xinjiang in the future, we must proceed step by step and be careful at every turn."
"I have sent someone to deliver the letter. Let's see how King Yanla will treat it!"
There was also a look of anticipation in Li Jing's eyes at this moment. He wanted to see what would happen.
---------------
Southern Xinjiang.
The palace of King Yanla.
At this moment, there were only two people in the palace, one was Yanla King Zhao Bing, and the other was the counselor Nalan Youci.
"Mr. Nalan, what do you think Xu Ping'an means?"
Zhao Bing handed the letter to Nalan Youci.
After he finished reading it, he looked calm.
After a long while, Nalan Youci slowly said, "My Lord, this is to persuade us to surrender!"
"This Xu Ping'an underestimates our Southern Xinjiang."
"However, this person's tone is really disturbing!"
Zhao Bing chuckled and said, "Yeah! It feels like he's already the leader of Liyang!"
King Yanla has been operating in southern Xinjiang for many years and knows the area well.
There is also the strength of Southern Xinjiang. It seems ordinary to the outside world, but only he knows that Southern Xinjiang has a large and capable army. It is now in the south, waiting for his order at any time to go north.
But Zhao Bing didn't do that.
Because Nalan Youci asked him to continue to work hard in southern Xinjiang. If it were in the past, he might have been able to go directly north, but until Xu Ping'an sent Li Jing to lead 20 troops to station in Caishishan, he also saw that this man was good at military training, spreading spies, and collecting intelligence. He had fought with him secretly several times, but southern Xinjiang had not gained any benefits, but was instead restrained.
Even Nalan Youci was extremely wary, so he did not dare to act rashly.
In addition, the Liaodong region was taken by Lu Bu, and even Jing'an was tied down.
This made Zhao Bing feel isolated and helpless.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bing looked at Nalan Youci with a puzzled look on his face, "Mr. Nalan, what should we do next?"
Nalan Youci said without hesitation: "Keep digging deeper."
"Your Highness, now that Li Jing has taken over Guangling, this sudden letter is undoubtedly a provocation to us."
"Let them provoke us, we don't need to care. As long as we can stabilize the people of southern Xinjiang and face the southward army together, we can win without fighting."
"After all, it's impossible for Li Jing's army to stay here for a long time."
After hearing this, Zhao Bing also frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Nalan, you should know that Li Jing has already taken over Guangling, which is the granary of the world!"
