Chapter 620: The Comer Is Not Good
After crossing the Xianxia Ridge, Huang Chao finally found the feeling of invincibility, and led the "grass army" to sweep through the land of Fujian, where the soldiers were outnumbered, and the incense array penetrated Fujian.
After the famous general Gao Biao drove Huangchao out of Hangzhou and Vietnam, it was not appropriate for him to chase after the poor man, but instead learned to stay in Zhenhai to fight for fame and fortune. With the backstage Lu Xian faction in the DPRK and the opponent Zheng Zheng Xiangguo, they actively carried forward the fine traditions formed by the Tang Dynasty officialdom since Niu Li Zheng, and devoted their limited energy to unlimited verbal warfare.
In the middle of the court, Roh proposed that General Gao Piao, who was powerful in the southeast, take over Choi Anqian's position as the envoy, but Prime Minister Roh's cousin Chung Sang-kook firmly opposed it.
Gao Biao wrote to the imperial court in Zhenhai again, and Lu Xian advocated peace with the new emperor of Nanzhao, but Zheng Xiangguo opposed it again.
Cui Anqian, who was dismissed from his post by Lu and Gao Biao and others, was not a bargain, and launched the clan brother Cui Tang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to take the opportunity to impeach Gao Biao and Nanzhao's diplomatic failure, and Gao Biao wrote a letter to defend......
Yan Guogong Gao Situ was very busy, so he naturally couldn't take care of Huang Chao, a poor thief. Moreover, Gao Situ is not as big as Li Jing, a little guy who has never heard of before, for himself, who has fought countless battles for the Tang Dynasty and won big battles again and again.
When he defeated the 200,000 barbarian army in Annam, Li Jing was still grazing cattle in the countryside. At present, Li Jing has become the first king with a different surname since the Three Dynasties, and he is also the envoy of the four towns, holding the land of ten states, sealing the king of Andong County, and taking the position of Tai Lieutenant.
He has only one Yan Guogong until now, and even Situ is still inspecting, how can he endure this breath.
Therefore. Gao Biao is bent on changing opponents. It's good to show that you can fight. Tiny Yellow Nest. is too unbeaten, even if he is killed, it cannot be compared with Li Jing's exploits in recovering Liaodong. He wanted to go back to Xichuan to continue the war with the Nanzhao people, but unfortunately as soon as the chief dragon died, Nanzhao immediately retreated. The Nanzhao in the southwest did not dare to fight, and the Uighurs in the northwest died early, leaving one of the remaining Uighurs to flee to the west of Jinshan after destroying the Uighurs. The Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Tiele, and Tatars left in the northwest have long had no courage to fight with the Tang Dynasty. The only Sha Tuo who dared to challenge Datang. It was also wiped out by that damn boy and other feudal towns, and now Li Guochang is still eating with thousands of castrated crow soldiers under his hands.
Looking at it, there is still a place for use in the northeast, and the Tang Dynasty has not beaten the Khitans for more than a hundred years, and they are shaking again. Goguryeo, which had been destroyed for more than 200 years, was restored. There is also a Bohai Sea, which has been hiding far away from the Tang Dynasty, but only dares to shamelessly call itself the Shengguo of Haidong to the surrounding small tribes. But now, this damn Bohai has been around for more than two hundred years. I finally saw that they finally got an erection, like a gentleman. As a result, Li Jing easily closed the door and beat the dog, lost 60,000 people in the first war, and immediately became a turtle with a shrunken head. cheapened Li Jing in vain, made him a good name, and made him the first county king since the Three Dynasties.
He gets angry when he thinks about it.
He wanted to go to Liaodong, or to Liaoxi, but Tian Lingzi actually refused, just a eunuch, he gave him some face, and he really opened a dyeing workshop.
Stay in the southeast to fight a group of mud-legged smuggler salt dealers, what's the point of these days. Let them fight, whoever likes to fight.
Gao Biao didn't look down on these grass thieves in the southeast, but the others were very happy, and they were competing to beat the water dogs.
Li Guochang, Li Youjin, and Li Qianzhong Shatuo took three thousand Shatuo cavalry, and as soon as they shot, they beheaded Wang Chongyin, the leader of the grass thieves all the way.
Yang Fuguang, the capital supervisor, was hacked by Mu Renyu last time, and this time he finally found an opportunity to prove himself, and led the army to defeat Xu Tangju, the leader of the grass thieves in Jiangxi, and captured him.
The former Zhenhai Jiedu envoy Pei Xuan showed his hand even before leaving, and killed Cao Shixiong, the leader of the grass thieves all the way.
At the beginning of September, Gao Biao finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent an envoy to Dengzhou to borrow grain from Li Jing.
Li Jing was in Pyongyang when he got the news, meeting with Zhang Yingying. Zhang Yingying has always insisted on fighting against Silla in Cheonghae Town, Silla is decaying, and the two sides have won and lost each other. After Zhang Yingying heard that Li Jing had won a great victory in Liaodong and crossed the Yalu water to seize the Pyongyang lands, she came this time to cooperate with Li Jing. He hoped that Li Jing would send troops to attack northern Silla in solidarity with his war in the south.
For such a request, Li Jing did not agree immediately. Although Zhang Yingying is the mother of his eldest girl, he will not casually joke about the lives of his brothers. No matter how weak Silla is, it is also a unified Silla, with a population of millions, and before Li Jing solved Goguryeo, there was no reason to take the initiative to provoke the sticks.
However, for the sake of Zhang Yingying and the child's face, it is impossible for Li Jing not to help at all. After learning about the situation of both sides, Li Jing offered to send a fleet of about 5,000 men and horses. Of course, these people will fight under the banner of Ching Hai Town. Moreover, this army will not be under the command of Zhang Yingying, and has the right to fight alone. Li Jingken sent this army forward, in fact, he also had another idea, that is, to let them use the banner of the rebels in Cheonghae Town to plunder the southern coastal area of Silla and rob the population.
Now Li Jing is so short of people that he is going crazy, and the land of Liaodong is simply a bottomless pit, throwing tens of thousands of people into it, and not even a bubble will bubble. There are too many people missing, and if there is no one, then Liaodong will not be able to stabilize. Not to mention continuing the offensive to the north, the military is for political service.
Li Jing knows this very well, if he can't defend it, then what to do with it.
The negotiation with Zhang Yingying was very easy, Zhang Yingying's Ching Hai Town was on the archipelago south of Silla, and by taking advantage of the water war, he had always fought with the Silla people. And while fighting, he can also operate maritime commerce, and life is not very difficult, especially since Li Jing has always been able to trade with him.
In the long run, secretly sending troops to support Zhang Yingying is also beneficial to the Zhenguo army. If after destroying Goguryeo, if there is a chance, Li Jing will definitely be willing to destroy Silla that is already in the last generation. At the very least, they must not be allowed the opportunity to threaten the security of the Zhenguo Army in Liaodong. If Zhang Yingying can really drag Silla half to death, then Silla will become a piece of fat to put in his mouth. The Zhenguo army will be able to plunder a lot of profits here.
After an agreement is reached. Zhang Yingying bought a large amount of grain from Li Jing, as well as some weapons and ships. And Li Jing got a group of Silla prisoners of war and slaves in the hands of Zhang Yingying.
After sending off Zhang Yingying in a hurry, Li Jing did not immediately go to see the messenger of Gao Yu. first hung him in Dengzhou, and then summoned Gongsun Lan to ask him about the identity of Gao Yu's envoy.
Lu Yongzhi, Fang Shi. In Li Jing's memory, he is no stranger to this name.
It can be said that in the chaos of the late Tang Dynasty, Gao Yu has always held 100,000 male soldiers. originally had the ability to influence the entire situation in the late Tang Dynasty, but he never made any moves, and missed a great opportunity. Gao Biao's life was ruined. Gao Biao has a penchant for pretending to be a ghost, almost to the point of madness. Later, he was killed by the subordinate general Bi Shiduo, and more than 40 of his sons and nephews were buried alive, so it can be said that Lu Yongzhi has a lot of responsibility.
This person's ancestors were originally merchants, and Lu Yongzhi was an orphan when he was a teenager, attached to his uncle's family, but robbed his room privately. After the death of Jiuhua Mountain, the matter of Niu Honghui. It is said that there is a technique of serving ghosts and gods. Later, he went down the mountain to sell medicine in the Guangling market, and in order to enter the body, he visited Gao Biao's general Yu Gongchu and performed spells, so he was able to see Gao Biao, and he was actually extended to the shogunate and made up for his right position. As a result, the villain seized power and caused chaos on one side. forced Bi Shiduo, Zheng Hanzhang, and Zhang Shenjian to rebel. After the most reluctant, LΓΌ Yongzhi summoned Yang Xingmi to help in the battle, and Yang Xingmi killed him after quelling the rebellion.
A character like Lu Yongzhi is like Tian Lingzi next to Li Yi, and even more hateful than Tian Lingzi. At the moment, he should have just defected to Gao Yu's tent, and Gao Yu sent him here to do something.
"Borrow food!" Gongsun Lan had already seen Lu Yongzhi, and it seemed that she had a very bad impression, and she didn't even want to say a few more words.
Li Jing frowned, "The six prefectures of Zhenhai Tongrun, Su, Chang, Hu, Hangzhou, and Mu are the richest places in the southeast, even if the grass thieves made trouble in the southeast before, it is impossible for Gao Yu to borrow grain from us." "Zhenjun, is the former observer of western Zhejiang, the jurisdiction of the six states, in the north of present-day Zhejiang and the south of the Jiangsu River and the east of the Zhenjiang River, the headquarters of Runzhou, is the later Nanjing. Occupying the territory of Suhu, Changhang, and Nanjing, how can there be no food.
Moreover, even if he borrowed grain, Gao Biao should also borrow grain from the Huainan Jiedu Envoy, the Zhedong Observation Envoy and the Xuanxi Observation Envoy, who were closer to him.
Gongsun Lan replied that Li Liang had already tried it, but Lu Yongzhi talked about him left and right, but he did not explain the true intention. Hearing such a result, just after finishing the work, Li Jing and Gongsun Lan took a boat back to Dengzhou together. After all, although Lu Yongzhi is a person that Li Jing despises, Gao Yu behind him is not an idle person. Li Jing didn't want to offend a character like Gao Biao right away.
This demon Taoist is a talent, and Lu Yongzhi started in the market, is familiar with his human feelings, and knows the public and private interests of the Tao. When we first met and spoke, it was very moving. If Li Jing hadn't been familiar with Lu Yongzhi's details, he would have really been confused by his surface.
"Yan Guo sent you here, what is the matter?" Li Jing didn't give him any good face, and said a little coldly.
Lu Yongzhi saw that Li Jing was not moved by his words at all, but he was slightly stunned. Even characters like Gao Biao were moved by his three-inch incorruptible tongue, regarded him as a genius, and trusted him even more. Unexpectedly, Li Jing was so young, but he was not moved at all. At that moment, his face was slightly stiff, and he sneered: "Gao Shizhong heard in Zhenhai that the king of the county is not only good at fighting, but also loves the people like a son and has a benevolent heart. The king of the county reformed the tax law in Dengzhou, and the people who made the apportionment into the mu only had to pay dozens of dollars in taxes, and they could even be exempted from servitude. Gao Shizhong is also a benevolent person, for the county king is a famous general, before his old man arrived in Zhenhai, the grass thieves have been troubled in the states for a long time. Although the high servants defeated and drove away the grass thieves, Zhenhai suffered great losses, and there was a shortage of food everywhere. The king of the county is benevolent and famous, and he sent a villain to borrow food to tide over this difficulty. β
Li Jing's eyes swept over Lu Yongzhi, and while thinking about Gao Yu's true intentions, he asked coldly, "How much does Yan Guogong plan to borrow?" β
"It's not much, it's only a million stones, presumably the king of Anton County won't refute this face in the high servant, right?" Lu Yong held the teacup in one hand, held the lid of the cup in the other hand and gently skimmed the floating tea in the cup, and looked up at Li Jing casually and said lightly.
