Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let me guess why he gave it to you?"

"Just guess!"

"I originally thought that it might have something to do with Gao Lishi, but you are not Ge Shuhan or Gao Xianzhi, but you are just an ordinary general. Even if Gao Lishi recommends it, he will not give you a gold medal. I think you must have given him what he needs most urgently. Humph! What is Li Heng most urgently needs? I know very well, that is money. You gave him money, right!"

Li Qingan had to admit that Li Linfu's eyes were so vicious that he could see through it.

"But where did you get the money?"

Li Linfu continued: "You haven't been to Yangzhou for a trip, well! In the Yangzhou salt case, Du Bosheng's property was nearly 400,000 yuan. Except for the more than 100,000 yuan that was stolen by King Qing, the remaining 200,000 yuan was handed over to the court. You didn't take it privately, but I know Du Bosheng still has a sum of money, that is King Qing's salt profit. This money is not reflected in all the files. Was it taken away by King Qing? But if that were the case, he would not have suffered a crushing defeat in Yangzhou, so King Qing did not get this money. So, where did it go?"

Li Linfu glanced at Li Qing'an with a smile on his face. Li Qing'an had to sigh and smile: "The Prime Minister is really amazing. This money is 50,000 taels of gold, I will give it all to the prince."

Li Linfu stroking his hands and laughed, "I guessed it!"

As soon as he stopped laughing, he said to Li Qing'an: "You are doing this right move. You are more clever than I think."

Li Qingan smiled and said, "I have completed the first step of the Prime Minister's explanation. Please explain the second step."

Li Linfu sighed softly and said, "Qilang, you are smarter than I thought. It's good to make you the prince's confidant. It's just my first step, and I do have the second step."

He stared at Li Qing'an and said slowly: "As long as you complete the second step for me, I will give you Jiang Wuyi, and the position of Anxi Jiedu is also yours. I will make you the youngest Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Qingan smiled and said, "Prime Minister, I want to participate in the Battle of Stone Castle City first."

Li Linfu was stunned, "Why?"

“Not why?”

Li Qingan smiled faintly and said, "We have too few military achievements, so it is difficult to accept the position of the Anxi Jiedushi in the future."

Li Linfu pondered for a moment and said, "Qilang, I am not against you participating in the Battle of Shibao City, but Anxi and Longyou are two different military systems after all. If you participate in the Battle of Shibao City, you may make contributions in the short term, but in the long term, you may be unable to finally reach the height of Anxi Jiedushi because of the identity of Longyou. Qilang, you should consider it again!"

"Prime Minister, if I participate in the Battle of Shibao City in Longyou, I don't have to give up Anxi's identity. Prime Minister can use a flexible plan."

"Haha! I didn't expect that Qilang was also a stubborn temper."

Li Linfu smiled a little reluctantly. He had already implicitly told Li Qing'an that he did not agree to his participation in the Longyou Battle, but he insisted on insisting that if it were someone else, he would have been put down and ordered people to fight, but he would not do that to Li Qing'an. After all, his second strategy depends on this person. Li Linfu suddenly had a hint of enlightenment. Li Qing'an was bargaining with him! He resisted the unhappiness in his heart and asked, "What kind of workaround, tell me?"

Li Qingan did not understand Li Linfu's expression, nor did he want to understand that a circle in Yangzhou made him tired of ten kilograms. He also needed to add some night food to raising cattle and plowing the fields! How can I just paint cakes to satisfy my hunger?

"The Prime Minister, the Anxi Army has fought against Lianyun Castle and has some experience in this kind of castle attack. I guess it is not enough to attack Shibao City by the Longyou Army. At least the Hexi Army will also second to participate in the war. So, what's wrong with seconding two Anxi camps?"

"Well! This is a solution."

Li Qing'an insisted on fighting Shibao City, and Li Linfu had no choice but to ask at the end: "Do you have to participate?"

"Yes! I must participate."

Li Linfu stared at him for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay! I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you, Prime Minister! Please continue what I said just now, the second step?"
Chapter completed!
