In fact, it was very strange that Chen Jinbao was suddenly visiting Chen Jinbao. Although Chen Jinbao is a famous businessman in Yangzhou, it is too far from that of Longtai Trading Company. In the past, Chen Jinbao visited the shopkeeper of Longtai Trading Company in business, but today they came to him automatically. However, even so, Chen Jinbao did not expect that this matter would be related to Li Qing.

"Brother Chen is indeed not a pirate." Manager Sun said to Chen Jinbao: "He is the sixth young master of our Longtai Trading Company, and also His Highness King Yan of the Great Xia Empire."

Manager Sun's words were like a meteorite hit Chen Jinbao's head. This simple sentence revealed too much information, which can at least prove two points. First: Li Qing was the prince of the Great Xia Empire, and the one who robbed him was not a pirate, but a navy of the Great Xia Empire; Second: The owner of Longtai Trading Company was the Li family of the Great Xia Empire; Chen Jinbao was a very smart person, and soon thought of these things.

Looking at Chen Jinbao's surprised gaze, Li Qing said, "My father-in-law has many questions in his heart! If you have anything to ask, as long as you don't touch the secrets of my Great Xia Empire, I will tell you the truth."

After being shocked, Chen Jinbao reacted and said, "Since you are the prince of the Great Xia Empire, how could you go to the sea to become a pirate!"

"I cannot tell this secret about the Great Xia Empire truthfully." Li Qing said to Chen Jinbao.

"I heard that Song Xia has rekindled the war in the north. How could you, as the prince's daughter, come to Jiangnan?" Chen Jinbao continued to ask.

"This is exactly what I want to tell you." Li Qing said; "I need sea boats now, a large number of sea boats; I originally wanted to order a batch of shipyards, but now it seems that ordering alone is far from enough. I hope my father-in-law can come forward and help me purchase a batch of sea boats. The more the better the money is not a problem."

Li Qing said while taking out a dozen silver notes (Huayuan) from his body and said, "This is three million taels of silver notes. You can see the tickets in Longtai Money House to cash out the silver. In addition to these three million, I will write a letter to my father and ask Longtai Trading Company to allocate part of the funds to purchase sea ships. The reason why I don't use Longtai Trading Company's sea ships is that I don't want others to discover this."

Three million taels were always a huge sum of money. Seeing this huge sum of money, Chen Jinbao smiled brightly and said to Li Qing: "Don't worry, prince, I will do this as soon as possible."

As soon as Chen Jinbao said this, it means that the Chen family completely turned to the Great Xia Empire. This actually had little impact on the Great Xia Empire. The real impact was on King Li Qing of Yan. With Chen Jinbao's support, many things that Li Qing could not come forward to Chen Jinbao can do, and it was also equivalent to Li Qing putting a nail in the heart of the Song Dynasty.

"By the way, in addition to sea boats, there are also a large amount of food, cloth, herbs and other supplies. These things are also more good. Don't be afraid of spending money, the more money is." Li Qing said to Chen Jinbao.

It is precisely thanks to Li Qing's strong support that the Chen family entered the stage of rapid development. In a short period of time, the Chen family became the largest overseas trader in the entire Jianghuai region. With the support of these materials, Li Qing's power at sea was developing very fast, and many of the materials were transported to the north by sea, providing logistics supplies to the Xia army in the north, and also attacking the logistics system of the Song army. Of course, this is a later story. After discussing all this with Chen Jinbao, Li Qing took Chen Shu to Yangzhou the next day. After all, Li Qing's identity is here! It is not safe to stay in the Song Dynasty.

On the Hedong battlefield, Li Bingchang led his army to make way for the Song army, allowing Zhao Wei to calmly lead 100,000 Song troops to evacuate to Pingyao. In fact, Li Bingchang was not willing to let the Song army evacuate like this, but there was no way. After all, the Xia army's morale is unstable now and there is no advantage in military strength, so he can only let the Song army evacuate calmly.

After the Song army withdrew, Li Bingchang and An Qinggui joined forces. Li Bingchang did not hide the news of Taiyuan's capture. On an unknown hillside, Li Bingchang whispered to more than 70,000 Xia army soldiers: "Brothers, the news of Taiyuan's loss has been leaking recently. I will tell you now, but it is true. Taiyuan has indeed fallen into the hands of the Song army, and our retreat has indeed been temporarily cut off, but only one of our troops will not be defeated. The Song army did not have much force to attack Taiyuan, and Taiyuan will soon return to our hands. Our army in the rear is not a good meal;

And we have enough food and grass, so we can completely persist until the arrival of subsequent reinforcements. And although our army's retreat has been cut off, the initiative on the battlefield is still in our hands. I promise you that no matter what happens, I will always be with you, and share life and death..."

"Share life and death, share life and death..."

Li Bingchang's lecture played a great role. After the lecture was finished, An Qinggui found Li Bingchang and said, "Prince, can we let the Song army retreat so calmly?"

"What do you mean?"

"Prince, this is a great opportunity! Most of the Song army is infantry, and our army has more than 50,000 cavalry. If we lead the army to cover up and kill the Song army, we will definitely win a great victory." An Qinggui said to Li Bingchang; "Most of these are plains, which are perfect for cavalry combat. The Song army left the camp and was completely seeking death."

"It is impossible for Zhao Wei to not know this, so he will definitely be prepared." Li Bingchang said.

"What can I do if I am prepared? I think our army has the ability to do so, so I can't miss it, so please stop it quickly." An Qinggui bowed and said.

"Okay, since that's the case, I will order you to lead the army to cover up the killing of the Song army." Li Bingchang ordered; "If you encounter strong resistance, you can retreat immediately."

"Yes, the last general takes the order..."

"By the way, where did the Song army retreat?" Li Bingchang continued to ask.

"In the direction of Pingyao, it seems that Zhao Wei intends to shrink all the Song army into Pingyao." An Qinggui said.

"Pingyao? How could it be Pingyao?"

"Prince, the reason why the Song army evacuated was because the prince had burned the Song army's food camp before, and the Song army evacuated because of lack of food."

"So, Pingyao must have stored a large amount of food and grass from the Song army." Li Bingchang suddenly realized; "If the Song army's weapons and food and grass from the Song army were stored in Pingyao, then it would be easy."

"Prince, do you have any plans?" An Qinggui asked Li Bingchang.

Li Bingchang said to An Qinggui: "In this way, you will lead 10,000 cavalry to kill the Song army, and hand over the remaining 40,000 cavalry to my commander. This time I will let Zhao Wei lose at the bottom."

"Yes, prince." An Qinggui took the order and said.

"No matter how many Song army you can kill, the most important thing is to hold back the Song army for me."

An Qinggui led 10,000 cavalry to set off. Although there were only 10,000 cavalry, it was not difficult to hold the Song army on this plain. In fact, Zhao Wei had already expected the pursuit of the Xia cavalry and made some arrangements, but Zhao Wei's arrangement did not achieve the expected results. Zhao Wei's serious underestimation of the combat effectiveness of the Xia cavalry also overestimated the Song army's field capabilities.

The second update is presented, and continue to ask for support...
