On 16 August, Li Jing held a grand military parade under the city of Liaodong. The soldiers of the eight armies, plus the united soldiers of the four armies, and the township soldiers of the eight armies, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses of 20 armies gathered on the east bank of the Liaohe River, and then drove all the way through the city of the Liaohe River to be reviewed by Li Jing and the generals.

After the military parade, Li Jing held a ceremony to award medals to the whole army.

There are more than 1,000 soldiers who have won meritorious services at all levels, and Li Jing and the generals have awarded medals and swords to the honored soldiers respectively.

The 1st Class Martial Cavalry Medal, the 2nd Class Tun Cavalry Medal, the 3rd Class Xiao Cavalry Medal, the 4th Class Ranger Medal, the 5th Class Flying Horse Medal, the 6th Class Brigade Riding Medal, the 7th Class Medal Cloud Cavalry, and the 8th Class Feather Cavalry Medal.

In addition, there are special Dragon Medals, special Tiger Medals, special Leopard Tao Medals, special Eagle Yang Medals, special Fengxiang Medals, and special Sky Wolf Medals.

The medals awarded this time are made of gold and silver inlaid with precious stones, which is very beautiful and precious. The medals themselves are full of gold, and all these medals represent not only honors, but also a lot of privileges.

Depending on the ranks, the recipient of the 8th class will be referred to as a Knight, and the recipient of the 6th class Special Medal will be referred to as a knight.

The knight will be able to enjoy a knight's allowance, as well as not bow to the official, and will receive 20 acres of exempt land

And the knight not only enjoys a generous knight allowance, but also receives 50 acres of exempt land.

Each Honored Soldier will also receive a sword, a steel horizontal knife specially crafted by the Ordnance Division, and a shark scabbard. Golden hilt.

And the knight who was honored received the incomparably precious Damascus sword. These famous knives made of Uzi steel. It is also decorated with jade, and the jade has a Damascus sword.

Of the more than 1,000 soldiers who have been awarded the medal, less than 100 have received special medals, and only more than 300 have received the eighth-class medal. For the rest, more are awarded a 'Battle Medal'. The Battle Medal is awarded to a soldier who has fought ten times bravely, and a one-time reward is a bounty, and the rest is glory, and the official does not bow down.

Other than that. In this Pingliao Campaign, Li Jing also awarded the Liaodong Campaign Medal, and all the soldiers who participated in the Liaodong Campaign received a piece as a memorial and rewarded them for their heroic battles.

Every soldier who won the medal wore a special uniform, a sword, a general, and a medal, and displayed it in front of the whole army.

After Gao Degui's death, the Goguryeo people at the head of Liaodong City are now leaderless. Although Gao Anwu, the son of Gao Degui, succeeded to the throne of Goguryeo, he obviously did not have much prestige. There is a great enemy outside the city. Under the various powerful ministers in the inner city, Gao Anwu's life was very difficult.

Standing at the head of the city at this time, looking at the parade under the city by the Tang Army not far away, the grand scale and the momentum made Gao Anwu and the others all gloomy. The Khitan general Yeluda even proposed several times to lead the Khitan soldiers to evacuate.

In the two days when Gao Zaizhen's army was armistice, there were many more catapults under the city. Although there are only ten super catapults, the smaller catapults are more and more large and small, and now more than 300 catapults of all sizes have been erected on all sides of the entire Liaodong City.

Looking at the constantly converging army of the Zhenguo army under the city, the camp is even more continuous, dozens of miles long.

Once the Tang army continues to fight, it is estimated that they will not be able to hold out for long at all.

At present, the more the Tang army is in a hurry to attack the city, the more the morale of the soldiers in the city falls.

Outside the city.

After Li Jing reviewed the generals and awarded medals to the meritorious soldiers. Zhang Tai was invited out, and the holy decree was publicly read out to all the officers and men of the army and the soldiers and men accompanying the army. The 100,000 soldiers could not accept the emperor's will at all, and the crowd was in an uproar for a while.

Zhang Tai looked at that scene and trembled. It's like a pile of dry firewood, and any spark can cause a fire.

However, to his relief, Li Jing did not intend to cause this fire.

On the stage, Li Jing announced to the officers and men of the whole army that he had accepted the transfer of the imperial court, and talked about loyalty and righteousness, and also asked the officers and men of the army to obey the command of the new five marshals. Then he publicly announced the disarmament of the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhenguo army.

After serving for another three months, all the Unity Army and Township soldiers will be completely disbanded before the New Year.

The other 100,000 Zhenguo Army, 50,000 people per town and four armies, retained two armies and 10,000 soldiers as soldiers, and the remaining two armies were converted into unity troops, disbanded and returned to the division, and trained in autumn and winter.

Li Jing announced the list of disarmaments. Among them, the Navy Army, the Crane Cavalry, the Silver Spear Suburban Army, the Jinjia Shengjie Army, the Japanese Army, the Tielin Army, the Black Flag Army, the Shenjie Army, the Flying Bear, and the Xuanfeng Ten Armies were listed in the disarmament list.

Zhang Tai, who was relieved just now, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Li Jing's announcement of the abolition of the Tenth Army can be said to be the elite of the elite under his command. If these ten armies are cut, there will be nothing left of the remaining ten armies of the Zhenguo Army.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, Li Jing really didn't let go of everything so easily.

Sure enough, Li Jing soon announced that he would continue to stay here for the time being, waiting for Zheng Cui and the others sent by the imperial court to take over. During this period, Li Jing recruited the dismantled Tenth Army as his soldiers of the Hebei Provincial Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, and waited for him to take up his post in Hebei after giving instructions here.

The soldiers below who were still excited immediately became a lot quieter. Among them, the officers and men of the Tenth Army who were named felt a lot more relieved. No matter where you go, as long as you follow the king of the county, you can't go wrong. The other Tenth Army, which was separately subordinate to the new Five Towns, was much more silent. At least the united soldiers and township soldiers who were laid off sighed a little. Although they are unity soldiers and township soldiers, their treatment is not bad, and they are even better than the tooth soldiers in other places. Now that he has been dismissed, he can't help but feel lost.

Li Jing came to power with the generals and said many words to appease the army, although many soldiers were dissatisfied with this arrangement of the imperial court. But the snake can't be headless, Li Jing obeyed the will of the imperial court so much, and secretly discussed and appeased the officers at all levels in the generals and summoned the army, so that they could appease the army.

At this time, officers at all levels remained silent and supported Li Jing's decision, and although the soldiers below could not accept it for a while, they were helpless. The overall situation is still under Li Jing's control.

Although probably within two or three months. The situation is not going to change. But thinking that Li Jing was leaving. The Zhenguo army was divided into five, and the morale that was still high and enthusiastic just now suddenly became much lower.

In the next few days, Li Jing simply canceled the immediate attack on Liaodong City and continued to rest.

On August 19, the Khitan general Yeluda in the city of Liaodong led his troops out of the north of the city by night, but Gao Anwu did not dare to stop him.

As soon as the Khitans left, the morale in the city became more and more depressed. The Goguryeo people in the city saw the Khitans evacuate. Li Jing did not pursue, and as a result, people's hearts were changed. That night, another Kaesong escaped. For the next few days, every night, Goguryeo generals led their troops out.

After a few days, some people in the city even began to break through the doors and leave in broad daylight.

Although Gao Anwu wanted to stop it, he came down several times, but it caused a bloody conflict between the soldiers and horses who wanted to leave and the defenders, and even almost caused a riot in the whole city. After the last month, Gao Anwu had to let people leave, so that in just half a month, the soldiers and horses in the city had almost run away. Even Gao Degui's old subordinates. At this time, it was also expected that Liaodong City would not be able to hold it, and he kept leaving with his troops.

Early September. When the news of the assassination of the Chang'an Emperor reached Liaodong, there were less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in the city. The secret spies in the city reported that Gao Huiwu had no intention of dealing with military and political affairs at all, and every day he was drunk and dreamed of death, immersed in women's sex, and completely abandoned himself.

After receiving this news, Li Jing immediately ordered the drums to beat the generals, blow the gathering of troops, and at the same time sent people to deliver a letter of persuasion to the city of Liaodong, so that Gao Anwu could open the city and surrender. Give him three days to think about it, and give him a time limit to attack the city.

Li Jing has not attacked the city these days, in fact, he has been waiting for news from Chang'an.

After waiting for these days, the news of Chang'an finally came. On the surface, Li Jing had just received the news of the assassination of the Chang'an Emperor.

But in fact, Li Jing has already established a communication line with Chang'an, and the fast horse delivers news every morning and evening. From Chang'an to Liaodong City, Li Jing can receive news from Chang'an in five days. This line of communication can almost reach the limit of a thousand miles a day.

As early as half a month ago, Li Jing had already received the news of the assassination of the Son of Heaven, and received a secret report from Li Wei that everything was progressing according to plan.

It is precisely because of this that Li Jing will be so leisurely and stable during this time.

However, the imperial court did not make public the news of the emperor's assassination until not long ago, when Li Wei and Gongsun Lan suddenly revealed the news of the assassination of the Son of Heaven in a Chang'an tabloid that was secretly controlled by them.

Li Wei not only disclosed the news of the assassination of the Son of Heaven through this tabloid, but also announced the news that the imperial court had found out that the person behind the assassination was the three towns of Hebei. He even published a lot of evidence that was originally kept in the six doors.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and no one thought that a small newspaper could actually break such a fierce news.

Since the establishment of a newspaper in Dengzhou and the distribution of newspapers, newspapers have been printed from east to west. Up to now, there are twenty or thirty large and small newspapers in Chang'an City. At first, the imperial court ignored the newspapers, but later the control, and then the later reopening, so that although the newspapers in Chang'an are more cautious and conservative, they have also become an important way for the officials and people of Chang'an to obtain a lot of news.

Qin Bao turned out to be just one of these small newspapers, and it had only three employees. The circulation was only 3,000 copies, but when the Qin newspaper used the full page of the day to disclose the assassination case of the Son of Heaven that the imperial court had been keeping secret, it immediately became popular.

Various newspapers reprinted it one after another, and on the same day, 10,000 copies of Qin Bao were printed, and all of them were sold out.

The next day, when the imperial court came to investigate, the three of Qin Bao had completely disappeared.

The next day, more than 30 large newspapers and tabloids in Chang'an, and even weekly magazines, all issued supplements and extra issues, reporting on the assassination of the Son of Heaven in the three towns of Hebei.

At the same time, several newspapers also turned out the assassination of the prime minister by the feudal town faction in Chang'an during the time of Xianzong.

There are also those who are well-informed, and they have directly posted out some information on the mobilization of troops and horses in the imperial court in the past few days.

After the assassination, Zheng Congyan, who stayed behind in Hedong Jiedu, Taiyuan Yin, and Beidu, gathered 5,000 Hedong soldiers, and assembled the party cavalry of Tuoba Sigong of Xiayin Jiedu, the Tuyuhun cavalry of Helian Duo of Tiande Jiedu, and the cavalry of Anqing, Sage, and Qibi. It is marching in the direction of Lulong Town, and there are 20,000 elite soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Cui Anqian, the secretary of the ministry, also went to Henan, and gathered 15,000 soldiers and horses of Xuanwu and Zhongwu in Xuzhou with Zhang Zimian to march to the front line of the Yellow River.

At the same time, the newspaper also reported that the Shence army in Guanzhong was also frequently mobilized, and news also came from Luoyang, and the Hezhong, Heyang, Yicheng, Zhaowu and other armies were also mobilized.

All of this seems to point directly to the three towns of Hebei.

The speculation of these newspapers further confirmed the report of the three towns in Hebei Province that Qin Bao had previously assassinated the Son of Heaven.

Some newspapers even pointed out that in fact, the assassination of the Son of Heaven by the Three Towns was only because the Son of Heaven wanted to imitate Emperor Xianzong to cut the domain. He also announced the previous emperor's disposition and transfer of Li Jing and the Zhenguo army, claiming that the imperial court's split of the Zhenguo army was only the first step, and after the division of the Zhenguo army, it was to deal with the three towns of Hebei, and the imperial court appointed Li Jing as the marshal of Hebei Province's soldiers and horses, as well as the fact that Zheng Congyan and Cui Anqian and other soldiers and horses were transferred as the basis.

As for some people saying that the imperial court mobilized these soldiers and horses in order to send them to Liao for reinforcements and to destroy Goguryeo, no one believed it. With the ability of Li Jing and the Zhenguo Army, the little Goguryeo was already at the end of its rope, and it was necessary for the imperial court to send troops all the way to crusade.

The editor of the newspaper insisted that this was just a false plan of the imperial court to destroy the enemy. The three towns of Hebei saw the plan of the imperial court, so they wanted to break the net and so on.

I have to say that this remark with conspiracy theories has been supported by countless officials and people in Chang'an.

Even on the same day, countless officials in Chang'an played the court like snowflakes, please immediately send troops to conquer the three towns of Hebei. There are even more officials who play, at this time, we should temporarily stop splitting the Zhenguo army, let Li Jing continue to lead the Zhenguo army for the time being, and let him lead the troops to put down Goguryeo first, and enter the customs first to help the imperial court sweep away the three feudatories of Hebei.

On the same day, Tian Lingzi ordered Jin Wuwei to close down the newspapers that had made excessive remarks, and at the same time ordered that all newspapers should be sent to Dali Temple for trial before they were published. Only after passing the review can it be issued!

But no matter how the imperial court dealt with these newspapers, at this time, the imperial court could no longer conceal the secret assassination. In the face of the discussion in the world, as well as the surging feelings of the officials, unanimously condemning the three towns of Hebei, Li Yi and Tian Lingzi both needed to immediately come up with a countermeasure.

And at this critical moment, Lu Longjun's marching Sima Li Quanzhong suddenly attacked the Yiwu army.

Chengde army Wang Jingchong, Wei Bojun Han Jian and Lu Longjun Liu Yue each sent troops to support, the four routes of soldiers and horses raided the Yiwu army that had been loyal to the imperial court, Yiding Erzhou changed hands, and the Yiwu army made Hou Gu defeated and killed by the raid.

It only took ten days before and after, and the soldiers and horses of the four routes wiped out the Yiwu army that governed Yi and Ding's two prefectures.

Subsequently, Li Quanzhong proclaimed himself the envoy of the Yiwu Army, and handed over the Mozhou of the two prefectures of Ying and Mo under his original jurisdiction to Liu Yue.

All of a sudden, the entire Hebei, except for the Yichang Army in the south, the other four towns were all opposed! (To be continued......)
