Chapter 740 Meat Grinder

Lv Songli stayed in Qingzhou for only five days, and she left on the sixth day.

Before leaving, she received a secret message saying that the plan had been successfully implemented.

Qin Sheng protected her all the way.

When she boarded the ship to leave, she took a last look at the sky of Qingzhou, silently reciting in her heart, "A kind person cannot command an army, and a kind person cannot educate the people."

Qing, Yan, and Xu are destined to become her meat grinder to deal with Dali and Xianbei.

The creation of Qingzhou District was a natural move after Dali and Xianbei made their first move, and it was also her intentional move.

Because gamblers are inhumane, just like the slogan she asked people to write over the casino: Cherish life, stay away from gambling, how many people turn a blind eye to this?

When gambling to the point of losing reason, many people drag their friends and relatives into the water for that little bit of money.

Therefore, when harvesting these gamblers, Lv Songli was not soft at all.

This land always needs to be unified. It is said that the triangle is one of the most stable structures. Now the three-legged situation seems stable, but as long as this land is not unified, war may break out at any time.

The total population of the Han people is about 16 million, and they can no longer withstand the large-scale consumption of war.

So, next, we should use economic warfare if we can, and diplomatic warfare if we can solve it. At the same time, we should penetrate into the enemy and buy them off if we can, and not start a war easily.

Qingzhou District is the battlefield she uses to fight the economic war. For the people of Dali, it is not so difficult to accept to be harvested temporarily compared to losing their lives in war.

The boat is slowly moving, and the cool sea breeze blows on Lu Songli's face.

At this time, a young man in military uniform came over, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle, the room on the boat is ready, do you need to rest now?"

Fifteen-year-old Xu Rong showed his white teeth and smiled and greeted Lu Songli and Qin Sheng.

Xu Rong is a child of her eldest brother-in-law's Xu family. The boy back then has grown into a tall and thin teenager. Now he looks like a young poplar in his military uniform.

The Xu family has more boys than girls in the younger generation, and because the old lady of the Xu family has a girlish appearance, the male grandchildren are tall and mighty, so the grown-up boys have gradually entered the army for training.

On the Qin family side, among the third generation, Qin Han, Qin Jia and others have gradually grown up. Now they have left the academy and either joined the army or entered the various departments of Pingzhou for training.

Qin Jia is quite talented in mathematics, and Lu Xiao is also very smart, so Lu Songli brought Lu Xiao and Qin Jia with him.

Qin Sheng lowered his head and asked her, "Li Li, the wind is strong, let's go back to the cabin?"

Lv Songli nodded, she looked at the half-grown boy in front of her, and reminded, "The wind is strong on the boat, remember to put on more clothes."

Xu Rong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I'm in good health, and I'm dressed warmly, I'm not cold at all."

Lv Songli nodded, said nothing more, and let Qin Sheng protect her and walk to the cabin.

Nandi, in the main tent of the Southern Expedition Army

Xie Zhan and Fan Yang sat opposite each other, and in front of them, there was a letter, which mainly wrote about the news of the Qingyanxu Sanzhou Free Trade Zone, and the focus was naturally on the opening of the Qingzhou District.

Fan Yang thought to himself that the head of the family was right. The reason why Dali and Xianbei could advance rapidly in the free trade zone before was because Pingzhou had not yet taken action.

"The gambling methods in Qingzhou District are so novel. As expected of Lv Songli, it's okay to be different."

Xie Zhan nodded, and did not appreciate the confirmation of his previous guess.

Seeing Xie Zhan's solemn expression, Fan Yang comforted him, "The head of the family does not need to worry too much."

Faced with such a situation, Dali and Xianbei have no choice but to keep up. If they don't keep up, Yanzhou District and Xuzhou District will be ruined.

"Wang Yun is the heir carefully cultivated by the Wang family of Langya, and he must know how to do it."

"It's useless to keep up." Xie Zhan was not optimistic about Wang Yun's response.

How many times did he imitate Pingzhou's products before, but every time he felt that he had caught up, it was either a pit, or Pingzhou was updated and replaced, and the products he had finally made were left behind by several streets.

Xie Zhan didn't know that Pingzhou's move fully explained the meaning of the phrase "I have what others don't have, I am better than others, I am specialized in what others are good at, and I am specialized in what others are specialized in."

Fan Yang was puzzled, "How can it be useless?"

There are so many people in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone, it is difficult for Qingzhou District to swallow them all, right? After catching up, at most, Qingzhou District eats meat, and Yanzhou District and Xuzhou District drink soup.

Xie Zhan shook his head, "You don't understand, Lu Songli dares to take it out, so she is not afraid of others following suit."

Lu Songli's means are by no means single. She is used to cooperating with other measures to implement the plan together. What she wants is to kill two birds with one stone, three birds with one arrow...

Now, I just don't know what she is calculating.

Fan Yang was puzzled, "Isn't it just a gambling technique? What else can it be?"

Xie Zhan frowned, "Mr. Fan, you must remember one thing, no matter how to guard against Lu Songli, it is not too much."

Fan Yang: Isn't it a bit exaggerated?

At the same time, a battle was taking place in Shajiaba.

Before the New Year, the Li people harvested sugarcane. After several years of cultivation and reproduction, the planting area of ​​sugarcane in the Li people is very large. So this harvest is also unprecedented.

The Nandi Li people already had a garrison in Pingzhou.

Pingzhou also dispatched another army to escort this batch of sugar cane supplies.

"The governor has said that this batch of supplies is very important and must not be lost."

Ever since Wei Kuang, the original general of the Southern Army, was captured and General Xie Haoran was killed, the Southern Army was in disarray. It was not until the arrival of the new general that it was reorganized into an army.

Zhu Dazhuang, who was stationed in the Southland recently, said, "General Yue, based on my thirty years of experience in killing pigs, the Southern Army has been shrinking, and I'm afraid they are holding back their evil spirits."

Yue Shu nodded, "Don't worry, we will be careful."

Halfway along the road, an ambush was discovered. Bandits disguised as Zhengnan Army were guarding the main road.

After hearing the news, all the young generals under Yue Shu's command were excited, "General, fuck him!"

"That's right, kill them! How dare these people dress up as bandits and attack the Tao? What a joke, don't you know we are the best at dealing with bandits?"

Xie Zhan, who is currently stationed in Nandi, also knows that sucrose is a good thing. Xie Zhan planned to take it by surprise and rob the supplies that the Li tribe planned to transport to Pingzhou.

After he came to the Southland, he did not organize the army to fight again. Instead, he chose to reorganize the army to conquer the South and went into hibernation temporarily.

Based on the spies' reports and the movements of the Li clan, Xie Zhan guessed that this batch of supplies would be delivered to the ship in the near future.

So, he made some arrangements, and now everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind.

However, now that there is no good news after waiting for a long time, Xie Zhan is a little puzzled.

At this moment, the army ambushing in Shajiaba sent someone back to deliver the news.

When Xie Zhan heard the news from the soldiers, he stood up suddenly, "You said Pingzhou sent Yue Shu to lead troops to escort this batch of supplies back to Pingzhou?"

Fan Yang was also surprised when he heard this. Did Lu Songli take it so seriously? Sucrose is indeed a good thing, but it’s not like sending another army to escort it after having the protection of the garrison, right?

Xie Zhan sensed something was wrong, "Hurry up and give me the order to send reinforcements to Shajiaba!"

The subordinate took the order, "Yes!"

Seeing Xie Zhan's solemn expression, Fan Yang couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong!" Based on his understanding of Lu Songli, this batch of sucrose must be very important to Pingzhou.

"Indeed." Fan Yang also felt the same way now.

Unfortunately, Xie Zhan noticed it too late, and when he wanted to send reinforcements, it was already too late.
