In February of the third year of Qianfu, the Zhenguo Army was stationed in Pingzhou.

The 8,000 Yanyun army received an order and returned to Dengzhou by boat from Youzhou for intensive training. In Pingzhou, Li Jing sent the strategist Li Zhen to serve as the assassin of Pingzhou, and Lin Wei as the defense envoy of Pingzhou, and selected the three armies of the Feng Army, the Heavenly Wolf Army and the Crane Control Army to settle in Pingzhou.

Liu Xun led the Feng Army to garrison the first-line important place of Lulongsai in the north of Pingzhou, and Fu Wenda led the Heavenly Wolf Army to garrison the Yuguan Pass in the east of Pingzhou. Shicheng County, on the border between Pingzhou and Jizhou to the west, was garrisoned by Li Juyi's crane cavalry.

At the same time, the three counties of Lulong, Shicheng, and Macheng in Pingzhou also transferred three experienced county officials from the counties under the Zhenguo Army to be promoted to the county commanders, and all the officials of the entire yamen, from the county commanders, county lieutenants, to the recorders, were transferred.

Li Jing also ordered the construction of a water city and two water barracks on the shore of Yuguan and the mouth of the Luan River, which runs from the Xi people to the sea from Pingzhou to the sea.

After the army and officials were in place, Li Jing immediately transported a group of newly recruited displaced people to Pingzhou Tuntian to reclaim the famine. And immediately recruited civilians on the border with Jizhou and Yingzhou in the east and west of Pingzhou.

These actions of the Zhenguo Army did not wait for Liu Yue or Fan Xinglong's consent at all.

Li Jing just let out the news first, made a war mobilization, and took Li Keju to Dengzhou. Then he took Liu Rengong's 3,000 Uighur cavalry to the Youzhou camp. Subsequently. Li Jing began to march to Pingzhou. When Fan Xinglong heard that Li Jing had directly marched to Pingzhou by land and water, he angrily smashed the beloved rosewood table in front of him. and immediately ordered the generals to gather troops, but when the soldiers and horses gathered, Fan Xinglong sighed and ordered the soldiers and horses officials in Pingzhou to withdraw to Jizhou immediately.

After the last day, Fan Xinglong could only lead the soldiers and horses to follow all the way from afar, and then sent the soldiers and horses of the Zhenguo Army into Pingzhou, and then directly occupied Pingzhou.

Liu Yue sent an envoy to Dengzhou to express to Li Jing. Pingzhou can be temporarily handed over to Li Jing to deal with the Khitans, but Li Jing must hand over Li Keju, a traitor, to him. However, Li Jing didn't pay attention to this request at all, but replied that Lu Longjun promised to pay Zhenguo Army a tax of 10% of Youzhou every year, but he hadn't given it this year, so let them prepare.

In this way, the two sides go back and forth, pull each other's skins, and from time to time do some war mobilization and military exercises.

After the year, Chang'an sent back the news, Chen Jingxuan and Yang Shili. Niu Miao and the three of them, although they escaped from Youzhou. But he has refused to come to Youzhou again. After hearing that the three of them played a game with the emperor to bet on the Sanchuan Festival to make the throne, Chen Jingxuan won the first place, because Xichuan was the richest, and was immediately appointed as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival; Yang Shili is second, and he is the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival; Niu Miao is the third, and he is the envoy of Shannan West Road.

The three of them went to Sanchuan to serve as envoys, but Tian Lingzi and the Son of Heaven did not send anyone to Youzhou to serve anymore. On the contrary, it was decreed to remove Chen Jingxuan from the position of deputy ambassador of Jiedu and Li Keju to stay behind, but Li Jing still held the position of Lu Long's envoy of Jiedu. However, for the new deputy envoy of Jiedu, the Sima of the march of Jiedu, the judge of Jiedu, and even the deputy ambassador, the queen and other important positions, it was not proposed who would hold them.

After this decree was issued, Liu Yue and the others understood that the emperor did not plan to send people again. At this time, he no longer had anything to do with Li Jing, and acquiesced to the fact that Li Jing occupied Pingzhou. On the contrary, the three of them began to gear up, preparing to fight for Lu Longjun's position.

Liu Yue and others began to dispatch troops and horses, and they had already taken precautions against each other. Fan Xinglong really wanted to fight with the Zhenguo army, after all, Pingzhou was his, but Li Quanzhong and Liu Yue were guaranteed by Li Jing to occupy Pingzhou, just to recover Liaodong and Liaoxi, so they temporarily endured it for a while.

Seeing that the three of them were each pregnant with ghosts, and they were unwilling to rush to the front, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The strongest feudal clan at the beginning has now sunset. Lu Longjun is no longer strong. The constant internal beating finally exhausted their strength.

Such a Lu Long, if he fights for his life, he may be able to win it in one fell swoop. But Li Jing also figured it out, such a neighbor, don't worry. Keeping them for the time being can also be used as a barrier with other towns in the imperial court, and when they take Anton's old land, they can also be taken at any time when they turn back.

After mutual intimidation, threats, and bluffs, the Zhenguo army finally occupied Pingzhou without a single soldier. Although this is only a remote state of three counties, Li Jing is still very happy.

With Pingzhou, he already has three states. If you count the sixteen counties in Ziqing Town, there can still be two states.

There is another celebratory banquet in Dengzhou tonight to celebrate the fact that some officials will go to Pingzhou to take up their posts.

However, Li Jing didn't go tonight, after taking Pingzhou, the Zhenguo army already had a greater advantage in recovering Liaodong. Li Jing and others had discussed it many times, and finally decided to launch an attack on Liaodong after the summer harvest.

After the summer harvest, there is plenty of grass and grain, and the key is the swampy area of more than 200 miles long in the western Liaoning corridor, which can only be successfully crossed in autumn and winter. In the spring and summer, when the rain floods, the entire swamp area will become a death zone, and people and horses are rare. With this isolation belt, when the Zhenguo army attacked Liaodong, the Khitans could not quickly reinforce Liaodong from Liaoxi. And now that there are soldiers and horses in Pingzhou, Pingzhou can also send soldiers and horses to raid the nest of the Khitans in Yingzhou and kick their butts.

The war is getting closer and closer, and Li Jing is not too worried about the recovery of Liaodong, but he is worried that he will have to face off with the Khitans later.

During this time, the busiest thing was the Xiao Cavalry Division and the General Staff Division, and countless pieces of intelligence continued to converge to Dengzhou from all directions, analyze them later, and then summarize them and react.

The Khitan has been in turmoil recently, first Yili Jianye Yundeshi died, and then Yelu Ruthless, who killed Yun Deshi, was cut off by Yelu Puguzhi at the firewood ceremony. Not long after Yelu Puguzhi did Yi Lijian, the contradiction between the Yao Yuan Department and the Diera Department became bigger and bigger, and then on the night after Yelu Pu Guzhi and Bara Khan fought for a share of the Central Plains, he was cut off by his son-in-law Yelu Lide.

The newly appointed Jerughind had already decided that it was Jerupuchus who had killed his father. Several times in public, he threatened to kill Pu Guzhi.

Three Jerus Seven Parts. The Khan of Hindu had already reached an agreement with the six tribes of the Haruka and Oga tribes. And Yelu Puguzhi also received the support of several of the twenty ministries. The situation on both sides is tense now, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment. From time to time, some warriors on both sides had their heads cut off, so that now when it gets dark, the Khitans can't sleep. I can only use alcohol to relieve this irritation.

Li Wei lived a very chic life on the grassland, and he has now become the most popular person in the Khitan. The original caravan of 3,000 people has now expanded to tens of thousands. As long as the Khitan people bring something, whether it is cattle, sheep and horses, or ores and herbs. Even slave women, leather goods and jerky, whatever Levi has, he will take anything. From the first tea, wine, salt, perfume, glass, etc., to now even fine armor and sharp steel knives have been sold, although the price is amazing, only the tribal leaders can afford to buy it, and ordinary warriors can't afford to buy a set of armor if they have to take out all their belongings.

But now the situation has changed somewhat, after the vendettas of the ministries continue to escalate. Finally a small tribe was defeated, and then all the remaining men, women, and children became slaves. Cattle, sheep, horses, and tents became their trophies. The victor approached Levi and offered to sell him all the spoils, including the captives, in exchange for his fine weapons and armor.

Li Wei happily completed this transaction, and even because this was the first customer to make such a large transaction, he also gave an extra high-quality steel knife.

The defeated tribe of thousands of tents only changed ten sets of armor and weapons in the end, but the man felt that he had made a lot of money. Many red-eyed or hate-blinded tribes have also begun to join in this murderous cannibalism.

After seeing that these tribes finally killed each other because of hatred and interests, Li Weichang stretched his waist and yawned, "It's really damned, these damn Khitans are finally fighting, and Lao Tzu in this province sends people to assassinate everywhere every night." ”

More and more Khitans exchanged the enemy's cattle and sheep and even family slaves for goods, and most of them came for weapons and armor. Li Wei immediately increased the price, and only sold high-quality armor weapons, the kind of armor and sword worth thousands of pieces of armor and knives as much as you wanted, but hundreds of iron armor, dozens of leather armor, simple spears, bows and arrows, etc., are the same.

There is no need to worry about selling the treasure armor to those tribal leaders Li Wei, even if all the Khitan tribal leaders have a set of treasure armor, they will not gather together to form an iron armor array.

The situation on the Khitan side is good, and it is developing in the direction that Li Jing expects.

The situation on the Central Plains side, I don't know whether Lu Dao is going to say good or bad.

Wang Jingwu, who was cheated by Li Jing, is now almost crazy, and he has arrested all the young and strong people over the age of 15 and under the age of 70 who can be caught in the ten counties of Ziqing Town as strong men and reorganized them into an army. Because too many people fled, Wang Jingwu directly tattooed all the captured recruits on their faces. If a runaway soldier is found to have a tattoo on his face, he will be immediately killed.

With this ruthlessness, Wang Jingwu searched through the ten counties of Ziqing and arrested a total of 100,000 people, all of whom tattooed the words "Luohedu" on their faces. On the other hand, many scholars who did not have a strong background were also arrested into the army, and the words "single-minded and dedicated" were tattooed on their arms.

In the entire ten counties of Ziqing for a while, almost all the men had tattoos on their faces and hands, and the rest were all white-haired old people and young children.

After arresting all the people, Wang Jingwu scavenged grain and money all over Ziqing, because most of the big households were moved away by Li Jing, so Wang Jingwu was even more unscrupulous. They went door to door to loot grain and grass, and all the money, cloth, etc. were also looted. Most of the people of Ziqing have fled to the counties controlled by the Zhenguo Army, and the entire ten counties of Ziqing are now full of ruins, and there are no people for hundreds of miles.

At the end of the month, Wang Jingwu led his Luohedu 100,000 horses to attack the two cities of Bochang and Qiancheng in Qingzhou controlled by Li Jing, wanting to rob people, grab food and money, but the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army was dispatched and defeated Wang Jingwu's army in only one battle, capturing more than 10,000 soldiers.
