At the head of Huichang City, not only was the bold Liu Rengong worried, but his subordinates were even more shocked. The veterans who had followed him from Fuzhou were better, and some of them were Uighurs, who had always been more daring. But these new recruits have been frightened recently, last time the six cities of Huichang were broken, 100,000 young people were plundered, and the rest were not strong, and his new recruits were just short and tall.

Now when I saw the ocean-like soldiers and horses outside the city, I was already colorless, and I was trembling in both hands. Even, Liu Rengong suddenly smelled a commotion. Damn, someone has already peed their pants in fright.

"General, what should I do?" Liu Rengong's family leader Liu Dali asked. This team is the only force that Liu Rengong can rely on, fifty people, the food and salary are twice as much as the other soldiers, that is, the usual food, is also better than other soldiers, at least one meal a day to supply. But now even the head of the family has asked with a pale face, indicating that his Huichang battalion has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Liu Rengong pondered for a while, holding the battlements tightly with both hands, and the soldiers and horses below were getting closer and closer. Based on his experience in the army over the years, it can be seen at a glance that there are at least 30,000 people in the army. And when I looked at the other party's array, the advance was full of rules, the military flag did not fall, and the smoke and dust did not disperse. Not to mention the neat queue, there are cavalry galloping back and forth to protect the wings, and there is a cavalry army in front of him to explore the way, the other party is so cautious, it is very rare.

With so many soldiers and horses, one person can drown his five hundred people with a mouthful of spit. What's more, such an imposing army can be killed, and no one needs to spit on it. It is estimated that hundreds of recruits in his Huichang battalion have been drowned by the urine he scared out.

Squinted eyes slightly. Liu Rengong carefully looked at the other party's flag. Closer, he finally saw clearly. In addition to the Zhendong military flag, it is also the Li character handsome flag. He has also heard of some generals of the Zhendong Army, there are many generals surnamed Li, and there are indeed no generals who may command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Could it be that Li Jing, the military envoy of the Zhendong Army, has arrived?

Thinking of this, there is no longer any thought of luck in my heart.

However, the more critical it was, the more calm Liu Rengong became. can go from a tomb robber to a battalion of ten generals stationed in a county today. He didn't come here blindly, he still relied on the calmness he could keep when he was critical. His brain was activated, and he quickly analyzed the situation in front of him.

With the current situation, the other party has an army of 30,000 and a large number of cavalry, while his Huichang army only has a hundred cavalry, even if he loses the 400 recruits, he will not be able to escape. Since you can't run away, it's even more impossible to defend the city. Even if Huichang is not far from Youzhou City, it is such a large army. As long as the other party rushes up, a round of arrow rain can suppress them and make them unable to raise their heads. Then you can break through Huichang City in an instant.

"Go, open the city gate, I will personally go to greet the arrival of Li Jun's envoy!" Liu Rengong soon had a resolution.

Liu Dali, the head of the family Ding team, is Liu Rengong's own brother, and he stammered a little when he heard this decision: "General, you, you want to surrender to the Zhendong Army?" ”

Liu Rengong looked at the nervous faces around him, and looked up to the sky with a big smile, "Hahaha, how did you come here, what are you worried about?" Do you know who is down there? ”

"Zhendong Army! Last time, they robbed the six cities of Huichang and plundered 100,000 young men and women. Liu Dali replied puzzled.

"What the fuck are you talking about!" Liu Rengong kicked his brother and said, "Where did you hear the nonsense, don't you know that Li June, the envoy of the Zhendong Army, and our Li Dashuai are actually brothers?" ”

Liu Dali didn't care about the footprints on his body, and hurriedly retorted: "It's impossible, our commander is a Uighur, but Li Jing of the Zhendong Army heard that he is a Han, how can they be brothers." ”

Liu Rengong is now very dissatisfied with his stupid bull-like brother, and thinks in his heart that when he passes this level, he must replace this stupid guy. At that moment, he said with a smile: "In addition to his own brother, there is another kind of brother who is an alliance brother." Don't you know that the last time our marshal drove away Zhang Gongsu, we had the strong support of General Li Jiyu? The weapons in our hands, as well as the war horses, were all bought from the Zhendong Army. And last time, the Zhendong Army didn't come to rob Youzhou, the rest was to create momentum and help us share Zhang Gongsu's soldiers and horses. Otherwise, how could there be such an easy success. So, speaking of which, this Li Jungong and our handsome man are family. Although he is not married to Jin Lan, he is also a brother of the alliance. ”

"You say, our handsome brothers are here, can we invite them into the city without opening the door?"

The officers of the Huichang battalion seemed to understand whether they understood it or not, and felt that it seemed to be the case, but they felt that it was not like this, but they could not say what was wrong.

Liu Rengong led 500 subordinates to the east gate and ordered the soldiers defending the city to open the door.

The east gate of Huichang City was opened, and Liu Rengong led his subordinates out of the city to greet him, and let the people in the city also go out of the city to greet him.

The forward soldiers and horses of the camp made Li Wei lead a thousand soldiers and horses from his headquarters to the city of Huichang, and saw a large group of people coming out in front of the city from a distance. But when I got closer, the east gate of Huichang City was opened, and hundreds of soldiers and many people stood respectfully at the city gate, and they were actually opening the door to greet them.

Li Wei quickly reported this situation to Li Jing of the Chinese army, and Li Jing couldn't help but chuckle when he heard about it. At that moment, Li Wei was ordered to wait for Guo Zhenhai, the forward guerrilla, and Qin Zong, the forward guerrilla, to make the soldiers and horses arrive, and then take over the city. However, it is also a reminder that you must be cautious and guard against fraud.

Three thousand soldiers and horses gathered, and after some careful and tentative inspection, it was found that there were indeed no other soldiers and horses in the city, only five hundred soldiers and horses outside the city. At that moment, they quickly took over the city of Huichang. Subsequently, Li Jing's Chinese army, the left and right wings, and the rear carriage soldiers and horses arrived one after another, and entered the city one after another.

As for Liu Rengong's 500 men, Li Jing did not receive them as Liu Rengong expected, but he was not hostile to them either. Li Jing ordered to give the 500 soldiers and horses a reward, 1,000 yuan each, plus 2 catties of wine and meat. However, just in case, Li Jing still let these 500 people be stationed outside the city. Huichang City was temporarily requisitioned by Li Jing. As a temporary base in Youzhou.

Get a reward. The soldiers of the Huichang battalion all had a kind of surprise for the rest of their lives. Although he was kicked out of the comfort of the city barracks, he finally picked up a life.

On the same day, an officer of the Zhendong Army approached Liu Rengong and asked him to bring the letter back to Youzhou.

In Youzhou City, after Li Maoxun drove away the former marshal Zhang Gongsu, he has appointed himself as the queen of Youzhou. Although he has not yet been officially called marshal, the people below have already called him the marshal, and he has already moved into the Longlu Military Marshal's Mansion.

As early as two days ago. Li Maoxun had already received the news that the eastern army of Dengzhou Town had crossed the sea again. He knew very well in his heart why Li Jing came. He had already heard the news that Li Jing had been appointed by the emperor as the commander of the eastern camp of Li Keyong, a Shatuo man from Datong. Li Jing must have come to Datong by way.

But things certainly won't be as simple as that.

When he drove Zhang Gongsu away, Li Jing also did him a great favor, not only selling him ordnance, but also helping him keep secrets, and even sent troops to Youzhou to help him disperse some soldiers and horses in Youzhou.

According to the agreement, after the deed is done. He should give Li Jing 1 million yuan or 300,000 stone of grain.

But after the fact, he has been dragging on the money and food. Li Jing sent envoys three times before and after, but he didn't give them. It's not that he is reluctant to pay money, but when he takes the position of Lu Long's marshal, he knows that Lu Dao's position is not so good. Although he won this position half-deceived and half-fought under the sign of Chen Gongyan at the beginning. But he was only Li Maoxun, not Zhang Gongyan, especially since he was still a Uighur.

He has no foundation at all in Youzhou, and there are many military leaders below, each of whom covets his position. Last time, Li Jing robbed six counties and took away 100,000 young people, this matter was originally speaking, at that time, he Li Maoxun was not the marshal of Lu Long, so Li Jing actually helped him. But the bad thing is that Li Jing has too much appetite and broke the six counties at once. This made the military leaders use this as an excuse to attack him.

If it weren't for the fact that he had 10,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, it is estimated that driving Zhang Gongsu away would only be making wedding dresses for others. However, if you want to give money and food to Li Jing, this is obviously going to make everyone angry. Li Maoxun also had to temporarily compromise with those military leaders.

Those military leaders were temporarily appeased, but now, Li Jing is here again.

"Dashuai, Liu Gutou is back!"

"Isn't he in Huichang?" Li Maoxun still has an impression of this son's subordinates.

"Huichang has fallen into the hands of Li Jing, and Li Jing asked Liu Gutou to bring the letter back."

"Let him in.' Hearing that Li Jing had taken down Huichang, Li Maoxun only felt a headache.

As soon as Liu Rengong entered the hall, he immediately bowed down to Li Maoxun, "Humble to meet the marshal." ”

"Get up, what's going on in Huichang?"

Liu Rengong explained the matter in detail, only saying that Li Jing was powerful, and because he did not get a reply from the marshal. Therefore, he did not dare to start a war with Li Jing, so he temporarily withdrew from Huichang City to preserve his strength and wait for the command of the commander. Finally, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Maoxun with both hands.

Li Maoxun opened the letter and read it, and after reading the letter, he felt a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

Liu Rengong looked at his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his back and smooth his breath, and it took a long time for Li Maoxun to feel a little better. But his face was still extremely bad, and Liu Rengong took the opportunity to glance at the letter on the table a few times. I saw that there were not many words on it, and the letter was written by Li Jing himself, and he wrote three things. The first is that Li Jing begged for the one million yuan owed by Li Maoxun, but now, the one million yuan has become two million yuan, which has directly doubled. The second thing, Li Jing said that he was going to enter the clouds to quell the rebellion this time, and the logistics and grain transfer were inconvenient, so he asked Li Maoxun to prepare 100,000 stone of grain for the Zhendong Army in Youzhou. In addition, Li Jing also said that he would temporarily borrow the four counties of Huichang, Guiyi, Zunxian, and Yixian from Youzhou Town, and said that he would definitely return them after the rebellion was put down. ”

Could it be that Li Maoxun's face is so ugly, Li Jing's move can be described as a general. Let's talk about the arrears first, which was originally one million, but now it is directly two million. Although Li Maoxun has already sat in the handsome position, after he first came to power, in order to win the hearts of the people, Li Maoxun took out a large amount of money and food to reward Lulong's troops and generals, and the inventory was almost exhausted. Now Li Maoxun can't get a million, where did he get two million?

And Li Jing proposed to borrow the four counties, which is a bit of a direct face. These four counties happen to be the four counties along the Juma Water and Yishui from the sea side of Youzhou to the foot of Taihang Mountain. Li Jing's request, how can Li Maoxun increase his answer? If he agreed, then what prestige would he have in the future, and how would he command the armies of Youzhou?

What's more, when Li Jing sent troops, he actually asked Li Maoxun to prepare 100,000 stone of grain for him, and completely regarded Li Maoxun, the marshal, as his Li Jing's subordinate.

Although Li Jing is a county prince, he is only a military envoy, and even if Li Maoxun is obviously only the queen of Lu Longjun's army now, he is also a town marshal, which is even higher than Li Jing.

Li Jing, this is a blatant provocation!

It's just that I don't know how Li Maoxun plans to respond, is it tough or compromised? Liu Rengong was also a little stunned for a while.

How to do it if it is me? Liu Rengong thought wildly, if it was himself, he was afraid that in the face of Li Jing's army of 30,000, he would not be able to stand up strongly. (To be continued......)
