(Thanks to tangqun's two monthly passes, 135 votes, I want to add another chapter today, this is today's third update, there will be a chapter delivered later, ask for a reward!) ）

A big war has just ended, and north of Zizhou City, at the foot of Changbai Mountain on the border of Ziqi and Qi, smoke is everywhere. Song Wei rode a war horse through the battlefield full of corpses, followed by the reorganized Shuaifu pro-military camp, and the nearby conscripted men were cleaning the war horses, looking for the wounded soldiers who were not dead, and moving them out of the corpse pile to the logistics wounded barracks. There are also some soldiers and horses who are responsible for cleaning the battlefield, which are being inspected one by one, and the corpses of the Pinglu army will be turned out and sent aside, and then they will be carried together for cremation and burial. As for the rebels, they will be cut off with a knife regardless of life or death, and the heads of these rebels will be nailed to the wooden stakes on the side of the road as a deterrent, and the remaining headless corpses will be thrown directly into the mass grave and buried.

The earth at the foot of Changbai Mountain was stained with blood, and the cracked land of the early drought was trung by countless footsteps. In the barren land, which was dry and cracked like hideous mouths, there were many blood-stained white feather arrows and broken knives and spears. The bloodied soldiers were bending down to harvest these terrible new crops.

Song Wei walked slowly across the battlefield, some dying soldiers struggling to hiss, their voices mournful. But immediately the sergeants of the logistics battalion came and slaughtered these war horses lying in a pool of blood, and then it would become dinner in the lunch boxes of the soldiers of the battalions today.

No one wants to eat horse meat, let alone war horse meat. Horse meat is not delicious, sour, dry and hard. But more than 20,000 horses were stationed at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Food is near. The grain and grass that was rushed behind had not yet arrived. If you don't eat this, you'll have to eat grass roots and bark. Horse meat is undoubtedly a better choice than grass bark, even if these horses have just been pulled from a pool of blood.

In the distance, a rebel jumped from under the corpses on the battlefield and fled up the hill. Several soldiers who were mutilating the corpses of the rebels were shouting in pursuit, and they quickly surrounded him in a circle. A cavalryman arrived as fast as he could, whipping the boy in the face with a whip, and smacking his face with blood. Several more soldiers struck the boy in the leg with the shaft of a spear in the back. He fell down until the boy could no longer get up, and one of the soldiers stepped forward and stabbed him in the back of the heart with a spear, and then drew a knife and slashed off his head.

cut off his head, and several soldiers even kicked the head directly as a ball, competing with each other and laughing.

The former military camp's commander is Deputy Marshal Kang Chengyu, who temporarily serves as the former military commander of the thief. Kang Chengyu's armor was neither red nor silver-white, but a gray color, and if you look closely, it seems to be a red color in black. His armor was made entirely of steel, and even the arm armor and shin armor were also made of steel. The full set of armor weighed eighty pounds. When he puts on his armor, he has to be the strongest horse to drag him up. Before on the battlefield. A rebel general who once mocked him for being a coward at a banquet in Qingzhou confronted him, but he was cut off the horse with the eighteen-pound Mo knife in his hand in just one round.

Kang Chengyu stepped forward and apologized to Song Wei apologetically: "I couldn't keep Zhang Chan, and he ran away?" ”

"What about the casualties of the soldiers?" Song Wei asked.

"Although the marshal had expected the rebels to come, and we had already arranged them in advance, it was a pity that these were all instigated soldiers, 10,000 soldiers and horses against Zhang Chan and 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they were actually killed by them after the last. In the preliminary count, we have annihilated 800 rebels, but we ourselves have only killed more than 1,100 and suffered more than 500 minor and serious wounds. Three-on-one, or an ambush, but our casualties were twice as many as the other side, and this battle was too damn suffocating. Kang Cheng said hatefully.

Since recapturing Qingzhou and crossing the Zishui River into Zizhou, the battle has not been smooth. First of all, when the front army was pursuing, Wang Jingwu came back to the horse pistol, was ambushed by the rebels, and suffered a small defeat for a while, losing more than 1,000 people. Immediately after converging the middle and rear armies, they chased all the way to the city of Zizhou and besieged the enemy. Who would have expected that because of the problem of grain and grass and the problem of rewards, a military town in Zizhou was actually moved by Zhang Chan's words, and secretly responded to the enemy camp with Wang Jingwu at night, causing the Pinglu army to lose another battle and lose more than 3,000 people.

After that, the city was besieged for several days, but there was no result, but the various tribes rubbed against each other, and the food and grass did not continue. Song Wei ordered a temporary retreat to Changbai Mountain on the Lianjie of Ziqi, firstly to cut off the passage that should be the second state, and secondly, to wait for the arrival of the grain and grass for the time being, and at the same time to reintegrate the lower armies. In addition, Song Wei also left a trick, preparing to attract Wang Jingwu out of the city to pursue.

As a result, Wang Jingwu did not move at first, and then suddenly sent troops to attack, although Song Wei had already set up an ambush, who would have thought that 10,000 people ambushed 3,000 people, but only destroyed 1,000 enemies, and paid double the price.

It's not that Wang Jingwu and the rebels are too powerful, it's that the Pinglu army is too useless.

In fact, in addition to more than 10,000 united soldiers, in fact, all battalions and towns of the Pinglu Army still have combat effectiveness. However, the military leaders of these battalion leaders are extremely cunning, no one is willing to do their best, they all want to preserve their strength, and everyone is unwilling to pay attention when they fight, and the results are naturally not good.

"Judge Lei, how long will it take for the grain and grass from Cui Sima's side to arrive?" After entering the Chinese military tent, Song Wei summoned several important officials of the marshal's office.

Judge Lei Gang said with some embarrassment: "Back to Dashuai, last time Wang Jingwu escaped from Qingzhou, he sent people to set fire to various warehouses in the city, although we later sent people to rescue, but only a small part of them were rescued. This time, more than 20,000 troops gathered to come, and almost all the departments only brought a few days of grain and grass, all waiting for our side to supply. One person has two liters of rice a day, and these two people have 40,000 liters a day, which is almost 200 stone rice, and there are also tens of thousands of people who have been gathered, plus those war horses and packs, people eat horses and chew horses, which is really not small. For a while, it was difficult to raise. Now Cui Sima has discussed with several big clans in Qingzhou, temporarily borrowed grain from various families, and has already raised 10,000 stones of grain and grass for a month, but Qingzhou is not close to here, and he has to send people to transport it along the way. ”

Sitting there, Song Wei only felt a burst of pain from the wound in his abdomen. I couldn't help frowning. His face turned a little paler.

"Great. If you want me to say, there's no hope of counting on these bunnies. In my opinion, if you want to exterminate Wang Jingwu's rebels, you can recover Ziqi and Qizhou as soon as possible. The only way to do this is to have only two options, either to transfer Li Jing's Zhendong Army to come. Or, transfer Song Wen and Dengzhou soldiers, Dengzhou soldiers are stronger than these cowards. And with Song Wen and other of our own people, we will be able to destroy Wang Jingwu with the number of direct soldiers. ”

Wu Zhen, the secretary in charge, also nodded, Li Jing and his Zhendong Army are powerful for all to see, if there is no Li Jing this time, they don't say whether they can escape Wang Jingwu's Hongmen banquet, even if they escape, Qingzhou will definitely not be able to take it back for a while, not to mention the defeat of the rebels on the banks of the Zishui River, beheading 3,000 and capturing 3,000.

Song Wei didn't know how powerful Li Jing and Zhendong Army were. But he had something to weigh carefully. Li Jing was halfway through, but suddenly returned to Dengzhou. The sailors of Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou refused to surrender to the Dengzhou soldiers, but Li Jing surrendered directly to them as soon as he arrived, which had to make Song Wen suspect that Li Jing had deliberately let Wang Jingwu go by the Zishui River, and what kind of deal had been made between them.

What's more important is that although Li Jing's sword is sharp, it is a double-edged sword, and it is easy to hurt himself if he is not careful. The current situation has proved his judgment, Li Jing and Wang Jingwu are not fuel-efficient lamps compared to each other. It's just that Wang Jingwu is plotting for the position of marshal, and now Li Jing doesn't have such a big appetite, he is just trying to Dengzhou. But this has already shown signs, Li Jing has Dengzhou now, and when his wings are harder, then he wants Qingzhou again, will he give it himself?

From the very beginning, Song Wei had no intention of handing over the Dengzhou Assassination History to Li Jing, and he didn't even want to give him the military title of the Zhendong Army. It's just that Li Jing cut first and then played, and he had already played the banner of the Zhendong Army by himself before he came, and Li Jing was urgently needed at that time, so he had to acquiesce. However, then in the compromises of inviting troops to the imperial court, he asked the imperial court for Li Jing to seal the position of the military envoy and defense envoy of the eastern army of Zhenzhen, but did not mention the history of the Dengzhou assassination, which was his one-step strategy.

His plan is very simple, that is, he himself first promised Li Jing to serve as the military envoy and defense envoy to the east of the town, and then sent these two tasks that he could have called the shots to the imperial court, and the calculation was to let Lu Xi, the backstage prime minister of the central government, veto this proposal, because there are many reasons, after all, Li Jing was just a united township soldier a year ago. Whether it is prestige or life experience, it is not enough for him to sit in a high position from the third grade within a year. After he planned to wait for the imperial court to veto, he would come forward again and give Li Jingsheng a Duzhi soldier and horse envoy, and at most a deputy envoy of the Dengzhou regiment.

This is a very good plan, but who would have expected that the emperor would praise Li Jing so much, not only passed it all at once, but also added so many official positions to Li Jing. It is said that Li Jing is now his subordinate general, but in fact, his rank is already on an equal footing with him. In particular, Li Jing now has an official position as the protector of Anton, and he is also a marquis, and his Marquis Wuning is a county marquis, but Li Jing is a county marquis, and he is also a marquis, but he is actually two levels higher than him.

Ji Luhua couldn't catch up with the changes, and wanted to use the imperial court to block Li Jing, but now it won't work. Li Jing was running too fast, so fast that Song Wei felt a threat that was even more powerful than Wang Jingwu.

If he could, of course Song Wei wanted to transfer Li Jing over, but Li Jing quietly led his troops back to Dengzhou, which has already shown that Li Jing will not come again unless he can really hand over the position of Dengzhou assassin to Li Jing. If you don't transfer Li Jing and send Song Wen and Dengzhou soldiers to come, then the result will definitely be that Dengzhou will be taken by Li Jing to take advantage of it, and it will be difficult to take it back when it comes to his mouth.

On the one hand, Wang Jingwu's rebellion was unquelled, and on the other hand, Li Jing's sudden aggressiveness. One occupies the two states of Ziqi, and the other is eyeing Dengzhou. Song Wei felt that his head was big for a while, and the current situation seemed to be more troublesome than when he first came to Qingzhou.

"If we don't transfer Li Jing's Zhendong Army and Song Wen's Dengzhou soldiers, and only let the soldiers and horses in our hands, will it be difficult to pacify Wang Jingwu?" Song Wei asked.

The people of the Jieshuai Zhu thought about it, and they all shook their heads, it was not that they were not confident, but they were really a group of scattered sand, rabble, how could they deal with a group of rebels with such soldiers.

Song Wei let out a long sigh, it seemed that he was much older, he thought that if he forced Wang Jingwu to rebel, everything would be fine next, who would have thought that it would become such a mess.

Taking out the letter sent by Song Wen, he carefully read it several times.

Pick it up and put it down, put it down and pick it up, and so on and so on several times. After the last day, he finally made up his mind, the current situation, Shandong is also full of famine, displaced people, that Wang Jingwu has been recruiting a large number of displaced people to join the army, such a drag, to put down the rebellion is only afraid that it will be more difficult. And if it drags on for too long, even if the rebellion is quelled, I am afraid that Ziqing Town will be in ruins.

Let's go ahead and get rid of Li Jing's little wolf first, and then clean up Wang Jingwu's blind bear first.

"Judge Lei, you go to Dengzhou again on my behalf, pass on my command, and from now on, Li Jing will take over as the Dengzhou assassin and concurrently serve as the Dengzhou defense envoy. After that, Dengzhou was garrisoned by the Zhendong Army, and the rest of the Dengzhou troops immediately led troops to Zizhou to quell the rebellion. ”

"It's so cheap Li Jing?" Kang Chengzhi was a little unwilling. They fought to the death in front, Ziqi Erzhou had not yet been captured, but Li Jing dug up Dengzhou behind them first.

"Of course it can't be so cheap, didn't Li Jing say that he would give us 100,000 stone grain and grass and 1 million military expenses to quell the rebellion." Song Wei said with a dark face: "These are not enough, let Li Jing take out 300,000 stones, grain and grass, 3 million money, and 3,000 sets of swords, guns, bows, arrows, armor, 300,000 arrows, and 1,000 war horses." When he handed over these things, Song Wen would hand over Dengzhou to Li Jing, otherwise even if the Son of Heaven appointed him as a defensive envoy, Song Wen would still be the assassin of Dengzhou and the regimental training envoy. ”

Although it makes everyone feel distressed to hand over Dengzhou, if you can get so many things back, it will not be a loss. What's more, it is indeed difficult to support Ziqing now. Lei Gang nodded, he believed that Li Jing would be willing to accept this almost blackmail condition.

Although Song Wei wants a lot, Li Jing's wealth is clear to Lei Gang, who has been to Shamen Town in Dengzhou.

"Don't worry, I will go early and come back early."

A general said: "Just let Li Jing get that flying fire for thousands of eight hundred, and then you can directly level Wang Jingwu." ”

Song Wei waved his hand, "This flying fire is a very secret thing, Li Jing didn't bring it himself last time, but we know that this thing is precious and rare, we don't have to open our mouths, so we just don't have to save this matter." After a pause, he said again: "If Li Jing is unwilling to come up with so many things, Judge Lei, you can act cheaply yourself, and it is okay to have less, Guan Jian is to bring the Dengzhou soldiers as soon as possible." ”

"Understood!" (To be continued......)
