In the dawn of dawn, Li Jing's Zhendong Army was like a slowly blooming rose, a rose composed of steel and iron, with sparkling spikes.
In addition to the 10 battalions on the left and right compartments that were also stationed in Liaodong, the 15 battalions in the front, middle and rear compartments of the Zhendong Army, together with the battalion leaders such as logistics auxiliaries, were also mobilized. All landed on the Dengzhou wharf, and then began to assemble on the wharf and lined up in a neat steel phalanx.
Lin Wei's front compartment was the first to board the dock, and the elite battalion of the black bear battalion in the front compartment had already set up a battle array, controlling the road leading from the dock to Dengzhou City. And the Iron Wall Battalion has also come ashore, one on the left and one on the right, on the two flanks of the Black Bear Battalion.
The middle compartment was personally commanded by Li Jing, and Liu Xun, the deputy tenth general of the Silver Gun Battalion and Li Jing's personal guard, had already taken a silver gun guard to get off the boat by Li Jing's side. Several tall standard-bearers unfurled Li Jing's flag. The two cavalry battalions of the Crane Control and the Flying Cavalry formed two arrays, just behind the camp of the Iron Wall Infantry Lance, and were adjusting the array. Behind them, a large number of Zhendong troops were disembarking and going ashore in an endless stream, forming a phalanx on the pier.
Fifteen battalions and 15,000 men and horses were continuously transported from the camp of the Great Xie Islands from the Angry Waves Camp and boarded the docks. From the dawn of dawn to the end of the day, the 15,000 soldiers and horses of the three compartments of the Zhendong Army were still landing, as if they could never be transported.
There were about two hundred knights around Li Jing, and these people were a group of young and excellent people that Li Jing had just drawn from the various battalions. And they all have the leaders of the team with great military achievements and the generals are composed of officers at the two levels. This is a new battalion head. Officer Training Battalion. The officer training camp has a total of 1,000 people, and in addition to 200 officers who have received a six-month training, there are also 800 outstanding non-commissioned officers who have reached the rank of sergeant. The entry of these sergeants into the training camp is also a kind of training, although it is not as good as the training received by the officers, but it is also an opportunity to learn from those officers. Moreover, when the training battalion is critical, it also has to go to the battlefield. However, the officers of the training battalion are held once every six months. When the time came, they went back to their respective camps. The sergeants below are once a year, and after a year, they will be promoted to non-commissioned officers, become sergeant majors of the third class, and be transferred to new positions after being promoted.
This training battalion now has another name in the Zhendong Army, called the soldiers and the army guard battalion. Because half of the people who go in are officers and half are sergeants, after they come out, the officers will be promoted, and the sergeants can also become non-commissioned officers, and they can serve as captains and standard-bearers from now on. On the other hand, the officer barracks were in the middle compartment, when the troops were dispatched. They also had to serve as Li Jing's guard battalion, so everyone called them the officer guard battalion. The first batch of 200 recruited, capital-level officers. and eight hundred sergeants, all of whom had undergone the most severe examination, and there were countless applicants at that time, and one thousand were chosen out of twenty-five thousand, which was a ratio of twenty-five to one.
In the middle of the officer guard battalion, a big flag is tightly guarded, which is the military flag of the Zhendong Army, and the big flag is embroidered with three huge three characters of the Zhendong Army. Guarding the military flag, it is a great honor. The standard-bearer was Lei Meng, the strongest soldier in the officer guard battalion, Lei Meng was nearly eight feet tall, and he usually stepped down alone, and ten people were not his opponents, and his strength was incomparable.
Li Jing sat in a tent temporarily erected on the dock, in the center of the whole army. As the commander of the whole army, Li Jing generally does not stay directly in the front army, nor does he like to stay directly in the rear army. Instead, he likes to stay in the Chinese army, and in the middle of the Chinese army, Li Jing has a feeling that the situation is under control. And staying here, he can pay attention to the situation of the entire battlefield at any time, and can make adjustments to the battle situation at any time. Be on high ground with a panoramic view of the battle and put your troops where they are most needed.
Even if you look at Li Jing from a distance, Li Jing at this time is so brilliant and dazzling. Compared with the future around him, Li Jing is a little too young, but his general power is faintly transparent. The full set of armor and weapons he wears today are the set of armor and weapons collected by the Son of Heaven given by the emperor. The things used by the Son of Heaven are, of course, the most sophisticated. Li Jing tried it himself, and both the armor and weapons were better than his own sets, so he unceremoniously wore them instead of putting them at home to worship.
The armor is gilded mountain armor, the whole body is golden, that is, beautiful and dazzling, extremely sophisticated, there is a red shirt inside, which can be worn in cold and summer. The misaligned armor outside, each of which has been tempered and shining, can be said to be a set of steel armor, light and fitting, and extremely strong protection.
His large mantle was woven with countless strands of gold, so heavy that it rarely floated even when charged, and once mounted, it almost completely covered the hind legs of his mount. Ordinary cloak hook buckles cannot
Bearing such a weight, instead of a pair of shoulder-swallowing unicorns lying on their shoulders, corresponding to each other, seemed to be ready to jump out at any time. In addition to the two unicorns on the shoulders, Li Jing's helmet is cast into a winged phoenix on both sides, and under the tip of the helmet on the top of the head, there is a slightly smaller lion, one claw probing into the air, opening its mouth and roaring. There is also a lion belt around his waist, and in the middle of the belt is a lion's head. The four lions are made of pure gold with ruby eyes. The shin and arm armor, as well as the iron gloves, are intricately decorated with moire. Each hook is gilded. The gilt stainless steel mountain armor has been repeatedly polished and is as bright as fire in the sun.
Song Wen and the generals of Dengzhou stood under the tower of Dengzhou, watching from a distance the continuous landing of the Zhendong army on the wharf.
"A mighty army!" Zhao Wang Li Wei didn't know when Lu Dao also climbed the city gate tower, he looked at the unfolding army on the dock, his eyes flashed a few lights, and sighed.
Kong Wei, the tenth general of the Huangxian Unity Battalion, looked at the army and was also amazed in his heart, but he said toughly: "What does Li Jing want to do?" Now the assassin of Dengzhou is still Liu Yuanjun, who asked them to attack the rebels together before, but they did not move. Last night, he didn't come to ask Song Envoy Jun when he surrendered the rebels, and now what is even more excessive is that he dares to lead his troops to come, what does he want? ”
He wanted to stir up the anger of the people. But unexpectedly, everyone was indifferent when they heard it. Just looked at Li Jing's army thoughtfully. Yesterday they stood firmly with Song Wen. That's because Song Wen is not only the assassin of Dengzhou, but also Song Wen is also Song Wei's clansman and confidant. Li Jing is just a small soldier and horse envoy, and the backstage is just Sima Cui Yunqing. But overnight, Li Jing suddenly became a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, and now he has been promoted to knighthood, which is different from yesterday. Song Wei even suffered defeat in Zizhou, and they had already heard it, who knew which of them could win. Who knows if Li Jing will be the winner of the most difficult time.
Song Wen understood that this was Li Jing demonstrating to him. It has been five days since Li Jing put forward the conditions that day, and in fact, the letter from the Qingzhou marshal arrived last night. He also read the content of the letter, and Lei Gang was also in his house, but he was still a little hesitant. Some are unwilling to hand over the position of assassin history, and some feel that it is not a good thing for the marshal to give up Dengzhou like this. But looking at the current situation, Li Jing is bound to win, if he refuses, Li Jing will take it by force. There were 20,000 soldiers and horses under the city of Dengzhou. Li Jing only had 15,000, but no one in Dengzhou City would think that they could defeat the Zhendong army.
They can look down on Li Jing on the surface. But the Zhendong Army is a real knife and fire, and it can't be accepted.
Song Wei gritted his teeth, went directly down the city and went straight into the Thorn History Mansion, found Lei Gang and said: "Please ask Judge Lei to see Li Jing and report the conditions of the marshal to Li Jing!" ”
"Did you figure it out?" Lei Gang asked. His arrival is now known to only a few people. Although this matter was approved by the Shuaifu, and Song Wen did not need to agree, but Song Wen was Song Wei's confidant, and he didn't want him to have any resentment against the Shuai in his heart.
"Figured it out." Song Wen was a little helpless, even if he really wanted to fight in Dengzhou, he couldn't compete with Li Jing. Rather than this, it is better to push the boat down the river and give Dengzhou to Li Jing.
"That's fine, you don't have to think about it. The marshal asked you to hand over the position of Dengzhou Assassin to Li Jing, and when we recapture Ziqi Erzhou, then you can choose one of the Erzhou Assassins. Lei Gang smiled. We still have to kill Wang Jingwu first, and as for Li Jing, let's wait until Wang Jingwu is pacified. ”
The relationship between Li Jing and the Shuaifu is a little delicate now, but at least it is still on the same side. But Wang Jingwu is different, he is already openly rebellious, and it is endless.
In the military tent at the dock, Li Jing was a little surprised when he saw Lei Gang coming, but he also felt that it was expected.
Li Jing looked at Lei Gang with a smile, did not speak first, and waited for Lei Gang to say the conditions himself.
Seeing Li Jing's confident appearance, Lei Gang had no choice but to directly state Song Wei's conditions.
"Dashuai asked me to come here because I wanted me to fulfill my original promise and hand over the position of Dengzhou Assassin to Brother Ji Yu. In order to reward the elder brother for his efforts in quelling the chaos, the marshal will not only hand over the position of Dengzhou assassin to you, but also transfer all the soldiers and horses of other departments in Dengzhou in order to facilitate the garrison of the Zhendong Army. ”
Li Jing nodded, it is best to transfer the soldiers and horses of other departments, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Dengzhou, and there are thousands of united soldiers, but these soldiers and horses are full of mountains and horses, and they are not easy to manage. Staying is not good for Song Wei and Li Jing, it is better to transfer away. In that way, Song Wei would have enough soldiers and horses to deal with Wang Jingwu, and Li Jing could also get the Dengzhou he wanted.
"Is there anything that the marshal needs help from our Zhendong Army?"
Returning the favor, of course Song Wei would not give him Dengzhou in vain, not to mention that Song Wei also took the initiative to transfer Dengzhou soldiers and horses, which is quite rare for Li Jing. Since Song Wei gave up a foot, he would return it. After all, at this stage, if Dengzhou can be obtained, Li Jing will not be able to expand in a short period of time, and it will take time to digest and control Dengzhou.
Lei Gang saw Li Jing so upright, and his heart was relieved. I'm afraid that Li Jing wants to go to Zhou, but he refuses to agree to Song Wei's conditions, so it will be difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
"300,000 stones, grain and grass, 3 million yuan, 3,000 sets of swords, guns, bows and arrows, armor, 300,000 arrows, and 1,000 war horses." Lei Gang hurriedly put forward the conditions, and said with a little flattering smile: You also know that when Wang Jingwu fled from Qingzhou last time, a fire burned down the warehouse in Qingzhou, and now the brothers who quell the chaos are still relying on the 10,000 stone of grain temporarily borrowed from various families in Qingzhou by the commander for emergency. But it doesn't take a day to get a thief. ”
"This is naked blackmail!" As soon as Zhang Hong, the military officer, heard that he wanted so many things, he calculated in his heart that it had already exceeded four million yuan. This is worth it, although the territory of the Zhendong Army is now larger, there are more soldiers to raise. Last time, I managed to figure out the rank of a soldier, and I lowered the military budget a little, and Song Wei asked for so much as soon as he opened his mouth. It's a robbery!
Lei Gang said: "Zhang Lushi is terrible, let me say it in detail, this is not blackmail. After Song Envoy Jun took the Dengzhou soldiers away, the military camps in Dengzhou will be the Zhendong Army in the future, in addition to some money and food, there are many things that cannot be taken away, and these are all valuable. In addition, there is "
"Judge Lei needless to say!" Li Jing waved his hand. Seeing this, Lei Gang thought that Li Jing's conditions were too high, so he hurriedly took the initiative and said: "If General Li doesn't take advantage of it, we can also discuss specific methods for this matter." ”
"Lei judged that I misunderstood, I mean that there is no need to say anything about this matter, and I will agree to all the conditions proposed by Dayu."
"Really!" Lei Gang didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Li Jing sighed and said: "The reason why I want to ascend to the position of assassin in the state is because I asked the marshal at the beginning, and the marshal should inherit it. If the marshal didn't want to at the beginning, then he could tell me directly if he couldn't wait. Since I have been decided, my brothers and I will naturally take it seriously. It's not that I'm disrespectful, it's just that I do what I say, and I want to get what I deserve. Since the marshal has fulfilled his promise, everything is negotiable. At present, the rebels have not been pacified, and I, Li Jing and the Zhendong Army, are all part of Ziqing Town, if I hadn't rushed back to deal with the rebellion of the Sailor last time, I would have to suppress the rebellion together at that time. ”
"Right now, since the marshal has decided to transfer the Dengzhou soldiers to quell the chaos, then I naturally don't have any opinions. Since the marshal needs some ordnance, money and food to quell the chaos, it is even more incumbent on me to do this. Anyway, I, Li Jing and Zhendong Jun, are both under the command of the commander. Not to mention now, even if I take over the history of Dengzhou, Dengzhou and the Zhendong Army will still obey the orders of the marshal in the future. After speaking, Li Jing turned his head to Zhang Hong and said: "According to Lei's judgment, prepare all the money, food, and ordnance, and deliver it all before tomorrow." ”
Lei Gang was both surprised and moved, and felt that Li Jing was not the kind of person they guessed. Immediately, he followed Zhang Hong to receive money, food, and ordnance. Li Zhen said with a smile: "The county marquis handled it very well just now, just a few million yuan, not only bought a Dengzhou, but also in exchange for the temporary letting go of the Shuai Mansion Song Wei, it's worth it!" ”
On the same day, Zhang Hong handed over a lot of money, food, and ordnance to Lei Gang, and then early the next morning, Song Wen handed over the seal letter of Dengzhou's assassination history to Li Jing. He took a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses from Dengzhou's troops and horses and a unity battalion, and went west to Ziqi.
On the same day, Li Jing led the Zhendong Army into Dengzhou City, and divided his troops into four counties in Dengzhou: Huangxian, Penglai, Muping, and Wendeng. Riding on the Mustang King, Li Jing slowly entered Dengzhou City under the escort of the officer's guard battalion, and the streets outside the city were full of welcoming people. Looking at all this, Li Jing seems to have returned to the scene when he first entered Dengzhou with the Wendeng Unity Camp last year.
greeted the onlookers the same, except that at that time he was just a local soldier. And now, he is already a dignified Marquis of Zhendong, a champion general plus General Jinwu, a military envoy of Zhendong and the protector of Andong, as well as the owner of this city, Dengzhou Thorn History!
