"Wang Jingwu, you have all received the invitation to tonight's night banquet, right?" Song Wei said in a somewhat tired voice, holding the banquet sticker that the butler in front of him had just handed over. Song Wei's words caused a burst of chuckles from everyone, and there was obviously a hint of ridicule of Wang Jingwu in his tone.

The flower hall of the Marshal's Mansion is not small, but it is full of people at this time. These people are all important allies and subordinates of Song Wei in the Qingzhou Festival Marshal's Mansion. The first one on the left side of Song Wei is an old man with gray hair and more than half a hundred years old, but although he is more than half a hundred years old, his ruddy complexion and his figure that is much larger than ordinary people even if he sits, he knows that he is a military general at a glance. The old man chuckled: "Now Qingzhou City is only afraid that in addition to those scoundrels and beggars, I am afraid that the whole Qingzhou City has received his invitation." ”

Sitting opposite him was Li Jing's teacher Cui Yunqing, who was currently the Sima of the Ziqing Festival and the deputy ambassador of Yingkou, only below Song Wei and Kang Chengyu, the deputy envoy of the festival who had just spoken. Moreover, he is also the head of the Cui family, the largest family in Qingzhou, and Song Wei is not only a subordinate relationship, but also an ally. Cui Yunqing said: "Deputy Envoy Kang is wrong, I heard from my family that Wang Jingwu not only invited the officials and patriarchs of Qingzhou City, but also the merchants in Qingzhou City, and he really invited those beggars and homeless people." has set up a porridge shed outside the gate of the four cities of Qingzhou, saying that he will put porridge for half a moon on behalf of his son Shi Shan. ”

"Wang Jingwu is buying people's hearts, if it was a few years ago. You can directly sue him for buying people's hearts. Misdeeds. "It was Lei Gang, the judge of the festival, who spoke.

Song Wei touched his beard. In a deep voice, he said, "Let's just let him be arrogant for a few days." It's just that giving birth to a son, who is neither a hundred days nor a year old, is so arrogant to do such a big job. After a pause, he looked at Lei Gang and said: "This time, Lei Judge personally worked hard to go to Dengzhou, and he has asked Li Jing to lead his troops to come, you can tell you about the specific situation." ”

Lei Gang nodded and stood up, he was also in his fifties. From Qingzhou to Dengzhou in a short time, and then from Dengzhou back to Qingzhou, a few days have passed, and he still feels a little tired.

"Li Jing has obeyed the call of Song Jieshuai and Cui Sima, and has already led a large army to come, with a total of six battalions of soldiers and horses, a full 6,000 people. Coming by ship from the sea, there were 1,000 sailors, more than 2,000 infantry troops, and nearly 3,000 cavalry troops. They are all the most elite soldiers and horses under Li Jing. ”

Deputy Marshal Kang Chengzhi said with some doubts: "I remember that Li Jing wasn't Cui Sima's protégé who was just accepted last year, and at that time I seemed to have heard that he was just a Tutuan villager." Why are there so many soldiers and horses all at once? Kang Chengxun is the younger brother of Song Wei's teacher Kang Chengxun, Kang Chengxun is also from the forbidden army, has served as the envoy of many places, during the Xiantong period, he was the commander of the crusade against the Pang Xun rebels, and Song Wei also participated in the rebellion, and was the commander of the camp in Kang Chengxun's army. The relationship between the Kang and Song families was very ordinary, Kang Chengxun was later questioned by the imperial court, and Kang Chengxu turned to follow Song Wei, and for many years, he has been his right-hand man.

Lei Gang sighed and said: "Then Li Jing is extraordinary, if he didn't go to Dengzhou Shamen Town in person, I can't believe many things." That Li Jing's successive defeats of Feng Zhang were indeed not a fluke. This time I went to Dengzhou, and I saw with my own eyes that Shamen Town was different from other places, and there was a vigorous vitality everywhere. During the time I was in Dengzhou, Li Jing actually defeated Duli Town and Beisha City successively, and now in addition to controlling Da Xie Yan, he also subdued Duli Town and occupied Qingni City and Beisha City. There are more than 400,000 people in the three places, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers. ”

"More than 20,000 soldiers? How is this possible, even if Li Jing is powerful, but how long has he been in Shamen Town, and where does he get the money to raise so many soldiers? Didn't he take some people and act as soldiers indiscriminately, so as to pretend to be real? ”

Lei Gang shook his head: "I haven't seen the more than 10,000 men and horses left by Li Jing in Liaodong, but when Li Jing came back from Liaodong triumphantly, I saw with my own eyes the soldiers and horses of the six or seven thousand returning divisions. Not only are the soldiers young and able, but they are also well-armoured, and there are even a large number of elite cavalry. ”

Song Wei said: "It's not impossible for Li Jing to have so many soldiers, didn't that Feng Zhang secretly accumulate 20,000 soldiers and horses in Da Xie Yan at the beginning?" Li Jing sent ordnance twice before, adding up to two or three thousand sets of swords, guns and armor, which shows that Li Jing is not short of ordnance. It would have been a good thing that Li Jing had more soldiers, but at the moment his appetite seemed to be a little big. Judge Lei went this time, although Li Jing agreed to send troops to come, but he was not satisfied with the reward of the Great Xie Yan soldiers and horses envoy and the suppression envoy, and made a request, Judge Lei, you tell everyone. ”

"Li Jing proposed that after he sent troops to help us eliminate Wang Jingwu, he asked him to be awarded the history of Dengzhou Assassination. In addition, he asked to give his soldiers and horses a military horn. Lei Gang said.

"What? This Li Jing is too much, but a small town general, less than a year after joining the army, the general promoted him to the rank of Da Xie Yan's soldier and horse envoy, which is already considered to be a high promotion for him. is so insufficient, he dares to open his mouth to ascend to the position of assassin in the state. We also need a military number, our Ziqing Town, except for the Pinglu Army, there is no single military number. Give him a military name, will he deserve it? Some generals said dissatisfiedly. In the eyes of these generals of the marshal's mansion, this Li Jing, who has never seen it before, but has only heard of it, really makes people jealous. Less than a year after joining the army, he has already become a soldier and has his own territory. Generals like them, who have not survived in the army for more than ten years and fought many battles to have today's status. But they have worked hard for half their lives, but in the end, they are not as good as Li Jing, this kid in a year.

"I received news that when Li Jing sent out the army, he had already cut the military horn before he got the consent of Song Jieshuai. He organized his soldiers and horses into five compartments, with the military name Zhendong, and had 25,000 men and horses under his jurisdiction. At present, the soldiers and horses led by Li Jing are exactly 5,000 men and horses of the fifth battalion in the middle chamber, plus a sailor battalion in the front compartment. Lei Gang told the latest news he had gotten.

As soon as this news came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help but be surprised. It was surprising that Li Jing was so bold that he dared to set up his own military number and form his own army without Song Wei's consent. And I was also surprised that Li Jing actually had so many soldiers and horses, and there were twenty-five battalion heads, forming five compartments. The average army is two to three compartments, five or six thousand men and horses. This Li Jing actually made 25,000 men and horses in the 25th battalion of five compartments. It's shocking!

"Is this news true?" Kang Chengyu asked in surprise.

Lei Gang nodded: "Things can't be wrong, the six battalions of soldiers and horses that Li Jing brought this time, in addition to a sailor battalion, there are two cavalry battalions, three infantry battalions, and there is also a cavalry under each of the two infantry battalions." All the elites who came, all veterans who had fought several battles and seen blood, were by no means imaginary. ”

"This Li Jing," Song Wei sighed.

Cui Yunqing was also surprised, he was Li Jing's teacher, and Li Jing often sent people to send him gifts, which were very valuable every time. The last time he went to Dengzhou, Li Jing only had a few thousand men under him, but he didn't expect it to expand more than twice in a blink of an eye.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Cui Yunqing knew that Li Jing was now jealous of everyone. couldn't help but follow Song Wei's words and smiled: "Li Jing's kid is still too young after all. After a few victories, it was a little fluttering, but in fact, it was just a few horse bandits and pirates. If you really want to compare with the marshal and the generals, it's actually far behind. The marshal and the generals were the elite of the elite who suppressed the Pang Xun rebellion and attacked the Nanzhao soldiers. I think Li Jing made this request, but he got carried away for a while, and the handsome didn't need to pay attention to it. In fact, Li Jing is quite sincere to Dashuai. ”

Cui Yunqing said good things for Li Jing: "Not long after he arrived in Shamen Town, he sent us a lot of money and food, as well as a large amount of ordnance. This time, the handsome man was summoned, and he immediately came with all the elites, without a moment's hesitation. ”

Song Wei's heart was actually quite dissatisfied with Li Jing's request, in his opinion, Li Jing didn't understand the rules too much. As a marshal, with so many generals under him, he always needs a bowl of water to be even. The other generals became soldiers and horses, which one was not forty or fifty years old, and he had been fighting horses for half his life. Although Li Jing has some credit, he is only twenty years old, and he has only been in the army for less than a year, and he has already sat in this position. Now he is not satisfied with the position of this soldier and horse envoy, and he actually wants to assassinate the position of history. You must know that although he is a festival commander, in fact, up to now, he has only mastered a total of three of the five thorn history positions in Ziqing Town, Qing, Lai, and Deng, among which Qingzhou Thorn History is still concurrently held by himself. The remaining Ziqi two states have always been controlled quite firmly by Wang Jingwu. The position of Dengzhou's assassin history was obtained by him in exchange for Jiedu Sima, and now Li Jing actually opened his mouth to be the assassin of Dengzhou, which is really too much.

It's just that looking at Cui Yunqing's attitude towards Li Jing right now, and thinking about it again, now is the time to employ people. When I thought about it, I endured it.

"Li Jing is a talent, and the current situation is the time to pull out the chaos and put things right. The top priority is to get rid of Wang Jingwu first, and after getting rid of Wang Jingwu, the entire Ziqing Town will be in the hands of the whole town, and it doesn't hurt to give him a position as a assassin for a talent like Li Jing. As for the military number, since he has already taken care of everything, let his department be changed to the Zhendong Army. ”

Wang Jingwu and Li Jing, which of the two is heavy and which is light, Song Wei still knows very clearly. Now that Li Jing is still obedient, he will kill Wang Jingwu first and regain the rights of Ziqing Town.

As he spoke, the butler spoke out and said that someone had asked to see him.

"Dashuai, there is a group of people from outside the mansion, led by a young businessman, who claims to be Li Sanlang, saying that he is a maritime merchant from Dengzhou, and specially sent some of the goods ordered by Dashuai before, so that Dashuai can receive them!"

"Li Sanlang?" Song Wei frowned, of course he didn't order goods from any Dengzhou merchants. But he just had a spin in his mind, and immediately thought of a possibility.

At this time, Cui Yunqing also thought of the possibility and said to him: "Could it be that Li Jiyu has arrived!" ”

Song Wei also felt that it was very possible, but he was a little puzzled, Li Jing should be with the army at this time, why did he suddenly appear in Qingzhou City pretending to be a businessman.

"Invite them in!" (To be continued......)
