(Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the 324 Bridge, Chop Your Cock, and Zhou Di, and thank you for the rewards of Mengmengmeng, Mengmengmeng, Assault Freedom 00, and Qiushui Eighteen Tips, Xie Lu, thank you!) )——
Song Wei, the marshal of Ziqing, finally left his post and returned to Chang'an, and Cui Yunqing, the new envoy of the Taining Army, and Kang Chengyu, the new envoy of the Tianping Army, also left Qingzhou on the same day to take up their posts. Li Jing, the commander of the Zhenguo Army, rushed to Qingzhou with 3,000 light horsemen and came to bid farewell to the three of them.
The departure of the three of them, and the arrival of Li Jing, have become the most important news in Qingzhou City these days.
The people who came to see off outside Qingzhou almost broke through the city gate, and the scene was lively. Especially after the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army took over the defense of various cities in Qingzhou, many people rushed to see the demeanor of the Zhenguo Army. After countless people saw the momentum of the Zhenguo Army, they all rushed to join the Zhenguo Army.
There are also many people who say that when the Zhenguo Army comes, they will not leave again, after all, Li Jing is the Pinglu Army, Qingzhou is the Pinglu Army Tooth City, Li Jing has no reason to come and leave, but instead give Qingzhou to Wang Jingwu.
Since Li Jing issued the immigration order, most of the wealthy families in Qingzhou have been forcibly relocated, and the originally prosperous state city is now deserted, and there are not even one-third of the people in the past.
In the ten-mile long pavilion of Qingzhou City Gate, Li Jing sat under Song Wei, Cui Yunqing and Kang Chengyu, personally opened a bottle of crimson wine in a glass wine bottle, and then poured the four glass goblets on the table.
Song Wei and the three of them looked at this set of glass wine bottles and wine glasses, as well as the red wine in the glass, and smiled: "No wonder countless businessmen rushed to Dengzhou a few days ago. There are even people who spend a lot of money. Spend a million guan for a mirror. It's a very clever thing. Beautiful. ”
Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing's eyes full of relief, "Earlier, you said that you were going to move half of the people of Ziqing Town into Liaodong, and you thought it was inappropriate to be a teacher, and you were worried that the people would move, but you couldn't provide for it, but now it seems that with your skills alone, even if you raise another million people, it is not a problem." Song Shuai and Kang Shuai and I have been thinking about it for a long time these days. You divide Ziqing Town into two, which is a steady step. Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you now know that you will compromise and retreat, instead of blindly using strength, which is very good. You're still too young and you're rising too fast, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Wang Jingwu can be the deputy envoy of Jiedu and the history of Qingzhou Thorn, which is not only the meaning of Tian Lingzi, in fact. This is also the idea of most officials in the court. You are too young and too high. Too much authority in your hands"
Li Jing took a sip of red wine, smiled and nodded, "Students understand this, take a step back and open the sky, Ziqing Town will be left to Wang Jingwu first, and I will go to recover Liaodong and Liaoxi first." ”
Song Wei's face was a little discouraged, but he was in a good mood, he was now considered a successful retirement, and he had to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom before he died, and he had the merit of exterminating the grass thieves, so the Song family did not need to worry about it in the future. "You guy, you've never been worry-free, it's just a little fox, you take a step back, I will never think that you are really stepping back, it's just a trap." After saying these few words, Song Wei was a little tired, and paused: "We all know that Wang Jingwu is a traitor, not only rebelled at the beginning, but also united with the grass thief, and he has a bad relationship with Xue Chong and the Li family. Don't forget, Xue Chong originally had the opportunity to defeat the grass thief with the Li family, but it was Wang Jingwu who suddenly sent troops to defeat Xue Chong with the grass thief, and then defeated the Li family, surrounded the Li family in Yizhou, and almost killed him. At present, Xue Chong and Li are demoted, one is the assassin of Laizhou, and the other is Sima of Ziqing Town. You kid didn't fight with them, but directly divided the land and divided Ziqing Town into two halves, which is a very ruthless trick. If you don't take the initiative to provoke Wang Jingwu, they will definitely not dare to provoke you, and the rest can only be a civil strife between the three of them. ”
Li Jing smiled, and Cui Yunqing and Kang Chengzhi couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Looking at Li Jing's appearance, both of them knew that Song Shuai guessed what Li Jing thought in his heart. This protégé is always like this, his youth always makes people ignore his thoughtfulness and spicy behavior.
"If possible, don't move Wang Jingwu for three years!" Song Wei suddenly said very seriously.
Li Jing's face was solemn and he nodded solemnly. Song Wei naturally didn't intercede for Wang Jingwu, if he could, he would have killed Wang Jingwu a long time ago. This sentence is just for Li Jing's sake. At present, the imperial court is in full swing, and Li Jing needs to keep a low profile more and more. There is a way that the cunning rabbit dies, and the hunting dog cooks, as long as Li Jing shrinks in Liaodong, the court will not care too much about him. But if Li Jing attacks Ziqing Town, there will definitely be many people in the court who are dissatisfied and uneasy, and then Li Jing may be transferred to Chang'an or transferred to another place, in that case, Li Jing will fall into the dilemma of obeying the order or resisting the order.
"The five thousand forbidden troops of the imperial court have arrived, and I plan to hand them over to you." Song Wei said again.
Li Jing knew that the 5,000 forbidden army was also cleared out by Tian Lingzi during the purge last time. Tian Lingzi sent them out to the capital, under the name of being at the request of Song Wei, and transferred 3,000 infantry and 2,000 armored cavalry to strengthen Song Wei's military strength. However, the 5,000 people did not go fast along the way, because the grain and grass supplied by the imperial court were always intermittent, and as a result, the forbidden army supplemented by other towns all arrived in the town, but this forbidden army was always on the road. Li Jing's battle of Songzhou attacking Wang Xianzhi, the battle of Liuzhen Caozhou attacking Huangchao, and even the battle of Song Weiyizhou attacking Huangchao, they did not catch up.
After Wang Xianzhi died, Wang Jingwu surrendered, and Huang Chao fled without a trace, the imperial court ordered all towns to return to their own towns. At this time, this forbidden army had just arrived in Songzhou, and they originally wanted to return to Chang'an, but after they were sent to Chang'an, Tian Lingzi ordered them to continue to Qingzhou and return to Ziqing Town.
Right now, this forbidden army of 5,000 people has just arrived in Qingzhou and is stationed outside the city.
Tian Lingzi's plan was to hand over this forbidden army to the Li family, after all, although he wanted to use Wang Jingwu to balance Li Jing, he would not forget that Wang Jingwu was still a traitor before. This is also the reason why he transferred Wang Jingwu's opponents Xue Chong and Li to Ziqing Town, Tian Lingzi's ultimate goal is to let Li Department take over Ziqing Town, not Wang Jingwu.
However, the 5,000 forbidden troops were drawn to Ziqing Song Wei, and now that Li Jing is the queen of Ziqing, Tian Lingzi cannot directly hand over the army to the Li family, so the last order is only attributed to Ziqing Town.
"The commander of these 5,000 people is Zeng Yuanyu, the official is a regular attendant of the left scattered cavalry, born in a family of military generals, has strategy, good courage, excellent riding and archery skills, and is a general. It's a pity that he has always had a bad relationship with the eunuchs. Therefore, he was transferred to the province of Menxia, where he was in charge of the rules and regulations, and served as an advisor, although he was noble, he had no real power. This time, Tian Lingzi directly transferred him to serve as the commander of this forbidden army, which also meant to defeat him and leave Beijing. Kang Chengyu is very clear about the generals of the forbidden army, and explained the identity of the chief general of the forbidden army to Li Jing in detail.
Li Jing nodded, in fact, he already knew the composition of this forbidden army and the identity of the main general.
Loose cavalry attendants, attendants of the emperor.
Emperor Wen of Wei and the loose cavalry and the standing attendant as an official, such as the free cavalry permanent attendant, to serve as a scholar. If you enter, you will be admonished for negligence, and you will be prepared as an advisor to the emperor, and if you go out, you will ride a horse and scatter you. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty ordered two people to be on duty with the free riders, and they were called straight and free riders. Wei and Jin scattered cavalry and served the CCP Pingshangshu. Most of them are prominent positions. The scattered cavalry often serves under the sect, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties belong to the province of Jishu. Liang once set up another province of scattered horses, Xuan Province. Sui belongs to Menxia Province.
Tang Taizong once took the loose cavalry as a loose official, and he was omitted and reinstated as a minister. In the second year of Gaozong's reign, it was divided into left and right. Zuo scattered riding two people, is three products, belongs to the province of the door; The two of them belong to Zhongshu Province. The position is the same as the fault of the regulations, the attendant adviser, and has no real power, but is a noble official, often as an additional official to the minister.
An honorable officer, not an important office.
When Li Jing learned that the troops of the Dao Dao had returned to the town, but this forbidden army was the only one that was required to continue to Ziqing Town, he had already begun to send the Xiao Cavalry Division to inquire about their details. Three thousand infantry and two thousand armored cavalry, these five thousand god forbidden army are not the kind of people who impersonate the army, although the training may be insufficient, but the number of soldiers is sufficient, and there are no unscrupulous children, otherwise, they will not be sent to Ziqing Town.
As for Zeng Yuanyu, when he saw this name, Li Jing couldn't help but be surprised. Historically, Zeng Yuanyu seems to have been when the grass thieves marched west from Yizhou to Luoyang, and the imperial court dispatched soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and Zeng Yuanyu went out of Luoyang. then became Song Wei's deputy envoy, and then Song Wei fell ill, and almost all the things about the thief were presided over by Zeng Yuanyu.
Zeng Yuanyu defeated Huangchao several times, and in the fifth year of Qianfu, he defeated Wang Xianzhi's troops in Shenzhou, killing more than 10,000 people, and replaced Song Wei as a recruiting envoy with this merit. Soon after taking over as the envoy, he defeated Wang Xianzhi in Huangmei and beheaded Wang Xianzhi. After this war, he succeeded Song Wei as the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu and guarded Qingzhou.
Judging from historical records, this person is indeed capable, and in history, Zeng Yuanyu finally turned over, not because of his skills, but because he finally invested in the door of Prime Minister Zheng Jin, and became the person of the great eunuch Ximen Sigong in disguise, and with the support of Ximen Sigong and Zheng Jin, he was able to replace Song Wei.
But now, even Ximen Sigong has been swept out of Beijing, and he has just returned to Chang'an with the merit of defeating the grass thieves, and he is too busy to take care of himself.
These 5,000 Li Jing are going to be decided, 5,000 well-equipped soldiers and horses, especially 2,000 armored horsemen. Although this armored cavalry is only armored light cavalry, it is a long-trained forbidden army after all. What's more, there is a cow like Zeng Yuanyu, how can Li Jing let it go.
"Xie Lu, Xie Father-in-law, Teacher and Kang Shuai!" This army of soldiers and horses, in fact, Kang Chengyu and Cui Yunqing can also find a way to separate. Now it is left to Li Jing, this love is very heavy.
Xue Chong and Li had not yet been able to take office, Song Wei was about to leave, and Wang Jingwu, the deputy envoy of Ziqing Jiedu and the assassin of Qingzhou, and his generals and 25,000 soldiers and horses were all disarmed and imprisoned in the camp.
Just now, Li Jing's Zhenguo Army had taken over the personal guards of Song Wei and Zhang Wanrong, Kang Chengyu, and Cui Yunqing, and continued to guard Wang Jingwu and others.
"Actually, you don't have to return all of Wang Jingwu's 25,000 people to him." When it was time to say goodbye, Song Wei turned his head to Li Jing and said with a chuckle, and then left. (To be continued......)
