(The fourth more is delivered!) Ask for a ticket! ）

"Suppress the soldiers and horses!" The plaque outside the Shamen Town General's Mansion had just been replaced with the Suppression Soldiers and Horses Envoy's Mansion, and Zhao Jiang, the head of Li Jing's guards, ran a few steps closer to the entrance of the Green Wolf Chamber, and shouted loudly.

Following the voice, Li Jing stepped into the lobby in a dark crimson official robe, and smiled at everyone in the hall: "Everyone has arrived." ”

Seeing Li Jing coming in, the military attache hugged his fist, the civil official arched his hand, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the general on his promotion to suppress the soldiers and horses!" Congratulations to General Hee! ”

Li Jing stepped on the high platform in the north, sat on the iron seat, waved his right hand, and said, "No courtesy, everyone is seated." ”

At this time, dozens of people gathered in the hall, compared to before Li Jing's expedition, there were fewer familiar people but there were also many unfamiliar faces. On the civilian side, in addition to the old men such as Zhang Hong, Du Zhongwu, and Cui Zhiyuan, there were two new staff officers, Li Liang, and Guo Chengan, the secretary in charge. Although these two are new to the company, their positions are not low. Li Liang made special suggestions and left and right senators, but Guo Chengan ignored the clerical matters. Although Zhang Hong, the original chief steward of the soldier Cao and the military, still held the position of soldier Cao, in fact, many of the rights that originally belonged to him were divided between Li Liang and Guo Chengan.

Behind Lin Wu, there are Pei You, the new deputy ten generals of the Silver Spear Guard Battalion, Li Juyi, the ten generals of the Crane Battalion, and Guo Zhenhai, the deputy ten generals of the Crane Battalion, as well as the cavalry generals Gao Rong, Thorn Che, Fu'an, Cao Meng, Li Biao, Yu Bao, Gao Duo, Mao Youliang, Yang Xing'an, Ma Ruhai, and Chen Xianjian.

Although the civil and military are separated, you can find it if you are careful. After this expansion, in fact, the attitude of the old generals towards Zhang Hong and other civilian officials has changed greatly. These civilians and warriors seem to have abandoned their previous confluence of prejudices. began to draw a line for the newly joined civil generals. Both civil and military. There is a clear line between the old and the new.

Guo Chengan was not very unhappy that Li Jing transferred him from Beisha City to Shamen Island, but felt that this was Li Jing's attention to him. As the secretary-in-charge, this is a very powerful position. As soon as he entered the hall just now, he took the initiative to greet Zhang Hong, the big butler beside Li Jing, but Zhang Hong just smiled at him perfunctorily, obviously keeping a distance and refusing to approach. It was the staff officer Li Liang, who was said to have just joined. But it is very relied on by the soldiers. He stepped forward to say hello, Li Liang's attitude was much better than Zhang Honglai's, although his words were flat, at least he didn't have the cold feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

He looked left and right at the hall, half old and new, half civil and military. On the civilian side, Zhang Hong, Du Zhongwu, and Cui Zhiyuan are all there, and only one of them, Li Chun, remains in Qingni City. He had already inquired clearly, knowing that Du Zhongwu and Cui Zhiyuan were not only the first civil servants to follow Li Jing, but Du Zhongwu also married Li Jing's youngest sister, although Cui Zhiyuan was a Silla, but he married a widowed sister-in-law of Li Jing. are very valued by Li Jing. Needless to say, Zhang Hong is a literati who doesn't have much talent. But he is conscientious and takes care of the trivial matters around Li Jing, without any obvious credit, but he has a lot of hard work, and he is a role that cannot be ignored.

On the side of the generals, Lin Wei, Wang Chong, and Lin Wu are also Li Jing's three generals, and they are close to each other, only Lin Wei of the Black Bear Camp is here, and he is also married to Li Jing's fourth sister. Lin Wu was stationed in Qingni City, and Wang Chong, who took Li Jing's widowed sister-in-law, led the Green Wolf Battalion to garrison in Beisha City. In addition, Xuan Cheng of the Tiebi Battalion, Li Qi of the Flying Eagle Battalion, and the two bewitching orchid beauty generals of the Nutao Battalion were all already familiar to him in Liaodong. The remaining battalion heads, such as gendarmes, logistics, baggage, engineers, transport, and auxiliaries, were just second-line battalion heads, and he didn't care much about them.

Seeing that Pei You, who used to be in Weizhen Liaohai, was now only standing in the middle of the general's row, Guo Chengan smiled in his heart, feeling much more balanced in his heart. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although he feels that there are not many particularly outstanding people on Wenchen's side, but these people are the first to follow Li Jing, and their weight in Li Jing's heart is not comparable to those of them who have just joined halfway. However, he is confident that with time, he can prove his ability to Li Jing.

Among the many old subordinates of Li Jing in the hall, Lin Wei's mentality is even better, after all, although there are suddenly many new generals after the expansion, and they are all on an equal footing with him as the ten generals of the battalion, he knows that his ability is still appreciated and relied on by Li Jing. What's more, he is not only Li Jing's sworn brother, but also married Li Jing's own sister, just by virtue of Li Jing's several troops, he was asked to stay at home, you can see Li Jing's trust and reliance on him, which cannot be replaced by Pei You and Guo Zhenhai's new generals.

Only Zhang Hong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, watching Li Liang serve as a staff officer, and Guo Chengan also served as the secretary, speaking of which, these two positions should actually be above Bing Cao. Li Jing misses the old and still makes him the first place in the bureaucracy, but he knows that his ability is just a county lieutenant, and now he can get to this position because of Li Jing's nostalgia. But now that the family business is bigger, he is getting more and more difficult, and it is inevitable that the newcomer will take the position. Although he told himself so in his heart, when the day came, there were still some complications in his heart.

Li Jing glanced at all the subordinates in the hall, and saw that everyone was excited, excited, and a little lost. Seeing Zhang Hong with his head down, Li Jing's heart moved, and he took the initiative to say: "Is Brother Zhang tired all the way when he comes back, and his body is still a little tired." Why don't you recuperate at home for a few more days, and leave the affairs of the army to your subordinates. Your body is important, you are the elder and chief steward of my Shamen Army, so you can't be tired. ”

Hearing these comforting words, Zhang Hong couldn't help choking, Li Jing didn't call him an official position but called his brother, this is a personal relationship, "Soldiers and horses can rest assured, although the old man is old, this old bone can still take care of the affairs of the general." However, I also feel that I am getting older, and my body is always a little weak, and I am a little unable to do many things. Now that the general is recruiting talents, with the assistance of Staff Officer Li and Secretary Guo, the old man feels incompetent, and is willing to abdicate to make way for the virtuous, and just retire to manage the warehouse for the general. ”

Li Jing saw that what he said was true, and he also knew that this was a sincere word, not deliberately retreating, and he was also a little emotional at the moment. Zhang Hong's loyalty is undoubted, but now that the family business is big, making him the head of the staff is indeed a burden on him. Then he said: "My brother has been working hard for me for a long time, and now that I am getting older, it is better to share some things with Staff Officer Li and Secretary Guo, and my brother will only take care of money and food. ”

Li Jing promoted Zhang Hong and Li Chun to participate in the military as both clerks, but Zhang Hong only managed money and food, not only using his ability, but also avoiding him from being overburdened. The position of Sima, the first of the Wenchens, was temporarily vacant by Li Jing and was not conferred. Zhang Hong was in charge of money and food, and Li Hong stayed in Qingni City temporarily. Li Liang was in charge of the staff planning, and Guo Chengan was in charge of the secretary, and several civilian positions were temporarily on an equal footing.

After comforting and adjusting Zhang Hong's ministry, Li Jing said to everyone: "You have old brothers who were with me in the Dengzhou Solidarity Camp at the beginning, brothers who followed me to Shamen Town later, and new brothers who have just followed from Liaodong. But whether it is an old brother or a new brother, they are all my Li Jing's brothers. Our brothers have worked hard, and now we have the town of Shamen, the town of Daxie, the city of Qingnigang and the city of Beishashan, with more than 20,000 troops, hundreds of miles on the ground, and hundreds of thousands of people. ”

"Just now, Song Jieshuai also officially stepped down, promoted me to the Great Xie Yan Soldier and Horse Envoy, and added the rank of Suppression Envoy. And for the civil and military forces under our army, Song Jieshuai also gave a blank farewell, and I will promote and appoint various official positions under Da Xie Yan at my discretion. ”

Although everyone already knew the news, everyone couldn't help but get excited, especially Lin Wei and other generals who followed Li Jing first. Thinking about how weak they were when they first came, they were calculated together by Dengzhou Sailor Wang Jin and Da Xie Fengzhang, and if it was not easy, they finally came out. With Song Wei's order, they could finally occupy Da Xie Yan with nothing to worry about.

Li Jing continued: "Of course, there are still many people who don't want to see us controlling Da Xie Yan. Qingzhou's tooth general Wang Jingwu did not want to see this result. Just when there was a big thief Hong Balang in Zi and Qi Prefecture, and the local soldiers and horses were endless, Wang Jingwu proposed that we send troops to Ziqi to suppress the bandits. Just now, Judge Lei has conveyed a military order to me on behalf of Song Jieshuai, asking us to send troops to suppress the bandits within three days. I've agreed, and now let's talk about how we're going to send troops. ”

After Li Liang asked some information about Hong Balang, he proposed: "Hong Balang is just a horse thief, and I see that there should not be too many soldiers. Too many troops not only did not march fast, but also had trouble with logistics and supplies. ”

"I originally meant to only prepare to dispatch the Crane Cavalry Battalion, but after thinking about it, I decided to bring the Silver Lance Guard Battalion with the Eagle Scout Battalion and the Angry Waves Battalion. Ji Lu rowed that we did not take the land route, but directly boarded a boat on the pier of Shamen Island and went west into the Yellow River, and went directly to Ziqi to suppress bandits. The transportation of troops by ship not only accelerates the speed, but also reduces the burden on logistics. Li Jing said his plan, about going to Qingzhou to eradicate Wang Jingwu on the way, Li Jing did not tell anyone. This matter is too confidential to leak the slightest rumor, he plans to wait until he gets on the ship, and then explain it to Li Liang and a few others.

In this way, 6,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and if the logistics personnel were added, it could be tens of thousands, which was the largest dispatch in Shamen Town. Zhang Hong wanted to raise an objection, but as soon as he saw that Li Liang, a staff officer, and Guo Chengan, the secretary in charge, were actually sitting there, without the slightest anxious look, he also knew that things might not be as simple as they seemed, so he cautiously closed his mouth.

"Since everyone has no objections, then the matter of sending troops is decided, and three days later, it is a good time for the zodiac to send troops. The soldiers and horses of the four battalions of troops went back to prepare, and the other battalions stayed at home, General Lin Wei still stayed at home, and Zhang Lushi also stayed behind.
