The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"First, Wang Ziteng intends to gather troops, either to gain power for himself or to seize the opportunity to seize the military power of Jinling for the Daqian Emperor."

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes and waved his hand to move on to the next one.

This old guy Wang Ziteng, even though he controlled hundreds of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp in the later period.

In the end, he was demoted to the position of President of the Nine Frontiers in secret with just one word from Emperor Xinglong, and finally died of illness for no apparent reason on his way back to Beijing.

He has no foundation in the army. Even if he wants to command his own troops, we have to see what kind of person he is.

Furthermore, the fact that Wang Ziteng, a man of Emperor Xinglong, was able to become the general of Jinling might be due to the influence of his own butterfly effect, but it also meant that the emperor of Daqian handed over the military power of Jinling to Emperor Xinglong, which clearly meant that he wanted to wipe out Qingfeng Village.

Although the royal family is ruthless, they will not engage in any political struggle at the critical moment of suppressing bandits.

So Qingfeng Li directly rejected this answer.

Xiao Ai continued,

"Secondly, after Wang Ziteng took over as the commander-in-chief of Jinling, internal problems such as insufficient manpower and equipment restricted his ability to dispatch troops."

Qingfeng Li touched his chin and nodded.

"Hmm! That's possible."

"After all, most officials appear to be righteous and moral on the surface."

"But they are still human, and they have selfish desires. Behind the scenes, there are thieves and prostitutes, corruption, and power-for-power or power-for-sex transactions, or they just find ways to pocket money."

"As long as I can earn money, even if I sell my equipment and weapons for money, it's not impossible to eat the salary without doing anything."

According to intelligence from Jinling, among the 100,000 troops of the 24 Jinling Imperial Guards, only 40,000 were capable of fighting.

After receiving this news, even Li Qingfeng was at a loss.

With such a small number of people, it is not even enough to fill the gaps in Qingfeng Village's teeth.

However, after so many days, Wang Ziteng had the imperial edict with full authority to suppress the bandits and recruited an army of no less than 30,000. Together with the original 20,000 old, weak and sick soldiers, he had enough people.

Besides, Nanjing is rich and has sufficient food, fodder and military equipment, so why not send troops?

I can't figure out why.

Li Qingfeng looked at Xiao Ai and continued to ask,

"Tell me about the third possibility."

Xiao Ai nodded.

"The third possibility is also the most likely."

"That is, Wang Ziteng is waiting for the right time to send troops, or he is brewing some huge strategic purpose."

"Timing? Purpose?"

Li Qingfeng frowned slightly when he heard this and asked in confusion,

"Qingfeng Village appears to the outside world to be nothing more than a group of ferocious bandits. If I didn't know about Qingfeng Village's weapons and equipment, I would definitely send troops to wipe them out."

"Could it be that Wang Ziteng is also carrying out high-level strategic goals at the Daqian court level?"

Xiao Ai thought about it and didn't say anything for a long time.

However, the rapidly rotating eyeballs indicate that it has begun to run memory, deduce and analyze at a rapid speed.

Qingfeng Li was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.

At this moment, Nanny Hua suddenly came hurriedly with a secret report.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked a little anxious and worried.

"Peak Master! This is bad! The imperial court is sending in troops again!"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Li's expression changed and he looked at Aunt Hua solemnly.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Yes!"

Aunt Hua said with a worried look,

"News has come from Shenjing that the Jianrui Battalion and the Shenji Battalion within the Jing Camp are heading south at the same time."

"The spies from the Yunchi Hall tracked and discovered that the enemy was heading north to meet the tax and silver fleet, but they discovered that the most elite Shenji Battalion of the Beijing Camp had not returned."

"Master Xiaolong speculated that the Divine Machine Battalion was most likely coming for us, so he immediately sent out a flying eagle message!"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Li frowned slightly and stretched out his hand towards Aunt Hua.

Aunt Hua quickly handed the information in her hand to Qingfeng Li.

Li Qingfeng opened it and took a quick look before putting it aside, saying angrily,

"Do monkeys eat shit? I just got the news when their cannons were already right up to my nose?"
