Li Jinglong was not surprised at all that there was a letter from a military officer from the local area.

They came out with great fanfare, and someone was going to come to worship the wharf.

But it was not for him, but for Deng Duo.

"Who?" Deng Duo asked.

"The name is Zhou Tai!" Li Xiaowai said, put the letter on the table and left silently.

Deng Duo did not avoid anyone, so he took it apart in front of Li Jinglong and Zhao Shi, frowned and glanced a few times, "Ha, my nose is so good. I know that I and you are doing the order, so I posted it on!" As he said that, he casually placed the letter in front of Li Jinglong, "When my family was in a downturn in the early years, he didn't see him right in front of him!"

Li Jinglong didn't even read the letter and asked, "Who?"

"Earlier, our old man attacked Nanyang, the horseman under his command!" Deng Duo snorted again, "He was promoted to be the deputy general because of his merits. Later, when my elder brother was in charge, he went to my house to guard Xiangyang before he was in trouble."

Li Jinglong thought, "Now he is guarding Qingzhou? Is he a crime?"

"It should be that I'm old, so I've found a place to retire here!" Deng Duo shook his head, "Anyway, I haven't contacted me for many years. My house is now a small temple, haha!"

They asked and answered each other, including Zhao Shi's previous actions.

Deng Duo did not avoid Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong did not read what the letter was written. This was the respect of both sides for each other, but the whole story was clearly explained in his words.

Suddenly, Zhao Shi remembered a sentence from Li Jinglong just now, his connections with Deng Duo!

Connections!

The Deng family is already in a downturn, but they can still get in touch with people like the local general!

"It's really as my father said. Compared with the nobles of Huaixi, the Zhao family is nothing! No matter how thin the camel is, it's bigger than a horse!"

Zhao Shi was thinking in his heart, and Li Jinglong looked at him.

"Did you know if we are walking northward now, are there any opinions?" Li Jinglong asked with a smile.

Zhao Shi was confused for a moment, but then he realized, "But the Emperor's way to the Northern Expedition at that time?"

"That's right!" Li Jinglong laughed, "It was the former king of Zhongshan, King Kaiping, who led 250,000 troops to attack Qingzhou and Jinan along Huai'an!" As he said that, he looked at Deng Duo and smiled, "This is just one way, and the other way is my old father-in-law. King Ninghe led an elite army to attack Nanyang!"

Zhao Shi suddenly realized that Deng Duo's face was instantly filled with glory and his expression was excited.

Li Jinglong took a sip of tea and smiled, "Uncle Guo, do you know why you chose this line?"

"I would like to hear it carefully!" Zhao Shi asked seriously.

"At that time! The Yuan court still had millions of string control men, but its strength was still above our Ming Dynasty, and there were famous generals like Wang Baobao!" Li Jinglong said, shaking his finger, "But don't think that Wang Baobao is a defeated general, it depends on demoting him! He is the best man in the world praised by the Supreme Emperor!"

Zhao Shi knew about this. At that time, everyone said that Chang Yuchun was the best man in the world. But the Supreme Emperor said that although Yuchun was a great man, I got it and became a minister. I cannot get the king's protection, because he is a strange man!

But when he was young, the teacher explained this content that the Supreme Emperor praised Wang Baobao so much in order to alienate the monarch and ministers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, Li Jinglong changed his mind again.

"Twenty-five thousand elite troops attack Shandong directly, most of them are close to each other. Many people suggested that they directly send troops to the Yuan Dynasty. But the Supreme Emperor did, most of them had been in operation for a hundred years, and the Hu Feng in Yanyun was too strong, and they were too close to Liaodong outside the Great Wall. If the lonely army went deep into the battle, they might worry about the entire army being wiped out!"

"So our Northern Expedition Army turned a corner in Shandong and headed straight to Henan!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "King Kaiping swept the entire territory of Shandong and was in a coercive manner against Beiping. Later, he and the King of Zhongshan were sent out to Le'an Changru to implant it, first go to Bianliang and then Luoyang, and then merged with my father-in-law!"

Speaking of this, Li Jinglong looked at Zhao Shi, "Did you understand what you understand, uncle?"

Zhao Shizheng was fascinated by the hearing and shook his head, "There are other reasons here?"

"First of all, this is the strategy of the Northern Expedition set by the Supreme Emperor. Take Shandong first, remove its shield, and lead Henan to cut off its wings! Shandong, Henan, one is the barrier of Yuan Dadu and the other is his wings. If we occupy these two places, it is equivalent to breaking his hands and feet first!"

"And after that!" Li Jinglong spoke vividly, "Boil Tongguan and guard it according to the threshold of his household! The Northern Expedition is both used and complement each other." As he said, he sighed, "Everyone in the world boasted of the achievements of King Kaiping of Zhongshan, but he did not know that in the matter of blocking Tongguan and guarding, my father-in-law Ninghe, the old man is the first to be the result of his success!"

As he said that, he smiled and said, "Of course, the Supreme Emperor knows it, otherwise he would not be able to repay the title of the king!"

Deng Duo was beside him, his eyes brighter and brighter, and his temples bulged, as if he was fantasizing about the scene where his father led his troops to fight that day.

Zhao Shi pondered for a while, "Then..., please ask, the partial teacher went out to Xiangyang and Batongguan..."

"This kid is not a material for military generals!"

Li Jinglong said in his heart and smiled, "The King of Ninghe went out of Xiangyang to attack Nanyang, which was equivalent to directly cutting off the possibility of the Yuan army attacking our Shandong army from the flanks. The reason why the King of Zhongshan and others wiped out Henan without any effort was because my father-in-law Ninghe attacked the front-line!

"Henan is pacified, and the next step is Shanzhou. At that time, his elite soldiers and generals of the Yuan Dynasty could only retreat to Shaanxi, and let our Ming Dynasty turn around and head straight to Yuan Dadu!"

"Hey!" Speaking of this, Li Jinglong sighed, "According to the meritorious officials of the country, my father-in-law Ninghe King's merits, he must be in the top five!"

When he said this, Zhao Shi already understood.

He quickly got up and clasped his fists and said, "I am a little unfamiliar with my studies. I didn't know that your mansion has achieved so much success. I have been negligent along the way, so I hope he can forgive me!"

Li Jinglong's words seemed to be talking about the Northern Expedition, but in fact they were telling Zhao Shi how strong the foundation of the Deng family was.

That was a person who only came after Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, but Tang and they all had to stand aside in terms of military merit. And even when Li Jinglong's father Li Wenzhong first debuted, he was also a soldier under the Deng family.

Of course, if the Deng family is not strong, it cannot be his Yue family.

Deng Duo's face shone, "It's a pity that his descendants were unfilial and had lost their reputation as their fathers in vain!"

"Hey, you are just bad luck! Don't underestimate yourself!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

The Deng family was about to look up. A quarantine from the Governor's Office, coupled with the emperor's personal guards, turned over for the past few years.

Li Jinglong is also reminding Zhao Shi that this is a very powerful potential stock. Look at others, as soon as they show signs of turning over, some local generals will stick them up. If they gain a foothold in a few years, they will be very good.

Deng Yu also had a group of men on that day, and the military-China relationship was still there. As long as he managed it well, he would not have to worry about not having any help.

At this moment, the personal soldier Li Xiaowai came in from outside again and whispered, "Master, I believe it, Master!"

Li Jinglong paused, reached out to take it, opened it in front of Zhao Shi and Deng Duo, and frowned deeply after taking a few glances.

~~

A lonely lamp, Li Jinglong wrote quickly.

"I received the letter and my son was calm and comforted. I kept the loan book of the Prince Consort's Mansion, and you should keep it yourself and issue a ban order, so that no one can know it."

"My son's wife is the princess, and she is close to Princess Nankang's aunt and nephew. We should go and have many relationships with each other."

As he wrote, Li Jinglong's face became solemn.

"I am not in the capital, and everything is impossible, but the Dragon Body of the Supreme Emperor is really unable to let go. My son, I believe that the matter of the Supreme Emperor's body should be informed urgently, remember it!"

Happy Lantern Festival everyone.
