When Wendeng County united troops into Penglai City, the entire Penglai City was a sensation.

Li Jing and the others left Wendeng and marched slowly all the way, only marching 60 miles a day, and walked from Wendeng to Penglai for six days. But the legend of Li Jing and others is like having wings, and it has been transmitted from Wendeng to Penglai a few days ago.

Since the death of Tang Xuanzong, who was called Little Taizong by the people, the Xiaozhenguan of Tang Xuanzong has completely disappeared. During the reign of Xuanzong, he once burned three fires, one fire made "the powerful and powerful traces", the second fire made "traitorous ministers fear the law", and three fires made "the temple of Yanqi angry", and praised him as "Ming Jun" and "British Lord". Xuanzong's nature is clear and decisive, the usage is selfless, from the advice such as the stream, cherishing the official reward, respectful and thrifty, and loving the people, so the politics of the big and medium, the death of the Tang Dynasty, people think about it, and it is called the little Taizong.

This younger brother of Tang Muzong, the uncle of Tang Jingzong, Wenzong, and Wuzong, ascended to the throne as the emperor's uncle, and he was the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty to do something. Since the death of Xuanzong, the reign of Yizong, and then the death of the waste, and then the accession to the throne by Li Yan, who is only twelve years old, the days of the Tang Dynasty are not as good as day by day. Qiu Fu made chaos, Pang Xun made chaos, natural disasters continued, and bandits swarmed.

Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu has always been known as a rich place, prosperity is not lost, and prices have always been stable and low. But in such a place, life has become more and more difficult in recent years. Mountain thieves, horse thieves, and pirates swarmed and plundered everywhere, but the imperial court just couldn't exterminate these thieves. Qingzhou's Jiedu envoy marshal also once wrote to various states and counties, strictly ordering the suppression of bandits, but this bandit is more and more nests, but he has never seen the good news of the government.

At this time, Wendeng County reported that Wang Chong, Li Jing and other 12 united officers and soldiers actually first leveled the thieves in the West Huozhai Village, and then fought with the famous prefectures and counties in the coastal area of the 'Zhendonghai', and finally returned victorious. It is said that this news has been verified by the state official office, and the story of the twelve generals of the Red Mountain has already been spread in Wendeng County. For the people and traders in Penglai, the state capital, the news is too exciting. For the first time in decades, they had heard such enjoyable news.

At this time, in front of the south gate of Penglai City, countless people rushed out of the city to watch the twelve generals of Chishan who came to watch the victory of Chishan, and wanted to be the first to see the style of the twelve generals. Of course, such a lively scene is not only spontaneous by the people, but also by people in the state behind the scenes.

This time, the united soldiers were summoned, and there were nearly 50,000 households in the three counties of Dengzhou, and more than 3,000 united soldiers were recruited according to the law. Under the rule of the Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu envoy, nearly 20,000 united soldiers were recruited. It turned out that when the whole Ziqing Pinglu was at its strongest, it had divided 15 states and had 100,000 troops. However, since it was broken by the imperial court and divided into three, the strength of the Ziqing Ping Lu army has been maintained at about 35,600.

The Jiedu envoys also wanted to expand their army, but no one dared to cross that red line first. This time, the imperial court felt that after the natural disaster, the bandits continued to increase, and ordered the recruitment of unity soldiers in various places, first, to train reserve soldiers and horses, and secondly, to drain the young and strong people in the townships to prevent the township from eroding. But when the order arrived at the Jiedu Mansion, there were other ideas below.

Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu wanted to take this opportunity to expand the military strength and train the soldiers and horses. That's why when the counties and townships were ordered to recruit the township regiments, they also asked the townships and counties to be responsible for the supply of donkeys and horses, as well as the payment for weapons and equipment. These were originally parts that were not included in the official documents of the imperial court, but now they have been explicitly sent to the counties and townships. Many townships and counties reacted very violently to this article, because the people in many places did not have the money and food to be responsible for this after the disaster.

Although Dengzhou forcibly recruited more than 3,000 united soldiers relying on the strength of the government, there was an undercurrent lurking in the place. At this time, the government desperately needed to divert the attention of the local people, and it happened that at this time, Li Jing, Wang Chong and others were reported to be bandits. It was not a big thing, but it was secretly promoted by people in the state. Gradually, things started to change.

Li Jing and the others had just arrived in Penglai, and before they entered the city, an official from the state had already arrived first. He came on behalf of the state capital at this time and conveyed several instructions. The key core is that the state government should hold a grand ceremony for Wang Chong, Li Jing and other meritorious soldiers to enter the city.

At the south gate of Penglai, the people and traders in the city are vying to go out of the city, and the first thing they see is a thousand united recruits in Wendeng County. Dengzhou has jurisdiction over four counties, namely Penglai, Huangxian, Muping and Wendeng. There are more than 46,000 households and more than 238,000 mouths. In the late Tang Dynasty, when the population and economy of the entire Tang Dynasty were greatly regressed, the population of Dengzhou reached the peak of the population of Dengzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Especially in the more than 60 years that Li Zheng, a general with the status of Tang Goguryeo, has been in charge of Ziqing Prefectures for three generations and four terms, and the Ziqing Prefectures have become more and more prosperous and stable. Although the Li clan has been destroyed by the imperial court for more than 50 years, the Ziqing prefectures are still more prosperous than other states in the Central Plains.

Among the four counties, Wendeng County is the farthest away from Penglai, Dengzhou is located in Penglai, Penglai is in the north, Wendeng is in the south, from the north of Penglai to the south of Wendeng, nearly 500 miles apart. The unity soldiers of Wendeng County arrived in Penglai after the least, and the unity soldiers of the other three counties, the latest Muping unity soldiers, also arrived a day and a half ago.

The people of Penglai have seen the unity soldiers enter the city three times, but this is the first time they have seen such a powerful and neat unity soldier as Wendeng County. The Unity Soldiers were originally just a group of mud-legged farmers and small craftsmen. This was the case with the other three county solidarity soldiers they had seen earlier, all of whom were new recruits, most of whom were eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys. The team was chaotic, and there was not even a proper shape, especially the messy clothes of the united soldiers, and there were all kinds of things. Some wore hoods and crewnecks, some wore scarves and short browns, and many wore straw sandals, and some were barefoot.

But at this time, the unity soldiers who entered the city were different, the Wendeng unity soldiers of a whole thousand people were already wearing uniform black military uniforms, each carrying a bow behind their backs, a three-foot horizontal knife at their waists, eight spears in their hands, bronze helmets on their heads, leather armor, and black leather boots.

Although the formation of thousands of people is a little uneven, the neat colors, fluttering flags, and dazzling spear tips make the hearts of the people of Penglai beat violently. That momentum makes people feel the urge to shout loudly.

Amid the sound of neat steps, suddenly a team of horses galloped towards us.

In a thin cloud of smoke, a hundred-man cavalry circled the front of the line from both sides of the infantry.

The dust and smoke gradually dissipated, and the first thing that fell in front of everyone was a large row of neat tall horses, gorgeous saddle sheaths, and the string of copper bells hanging under the neck of the war horse.

On top of the war horses in the first row, there were eleven people Wang Chong and Li Jing. Behind each of them, there are special knights with a banner and the name of each person written on it.

Li Jing rode on the jujube red horse sent by the old village chief Wang at this time, and the state government originally arranged a tall war horse for him, but Li Jing was only familiar with the jujube red horse at this time, and he was afraid of a temporary accident, so he rode this tall jujube red horse at the very end. The red horse seemed to be a little surprised by the warm scene in front of him, and paddled on the ground with his front hooves a little uneasily. Li Jing gently patted the neck of the jujube red horse, soothing his emotions.

Behind Li Jing, two knights straddled horses, holding a flag in their hands, one side was written on the Dengzhou Unity Camp warrior Li Jing, and the other was written with a hundred steps and unparalleled intelligence. Next to them, there was a row of knights with various banners, all of which were written on the names and titles of Li Jing and his group. For example, Wang Chong's two flags are written separately, the Dengzhou Unity Battalion is a fierce general, Wang Chong, Wu Ben is unparalleled, and the blocker is invincible.

In addition, Li Jing and others also wore a big red silk flower on their bodies, as if they were the groom who married and the champion of the imperial examination high school.

In the midst of the noise, there was a sudden sound of gongs, which was the sound of gongs to open the way, and an official arrived.

Behind the Gong, there were evasive signs, and behind them, a team dressed in fine armor greeted them.

The team was also riding horses, and Li Jing saw from a distance that he was dressed in purple and gold, wearing a purple robe, wearing a goldfish bag at his waist, and riding a horse. I couldn't help but be stunned, wearing purple waist gold, this is wearing a purple official robe and a goldfish bag at the waist. The Tang Dynasty stipulates that only three grades or more are served purple!

This person is actually a three-grade master, among the counties of the Tang Dynasty, only the Shangzhou Thorn History is from the three-grade. There is only one person in the entire Dengzhou Mansion who can wear a purple robe, so it is from the Dengzhou Thorn History of the Third Grade! Unexpectedly, they were even shocked by the history of the assassination.

ps: 24 on the overall list, you need to rush again, let's give Muzi a few times!
