Chapter 655: The Generals Embraced

(Thanks to the car, the decadent fog, specially to top the book, fearless so.) Special thanks for the 10,000 yuan reward for the book, thank you! οΌ‰β€”β€”

"The subordinates all thought that the imperial court's order to split the town and national army was really chaotic, this must not be the emperor's original intention, it must be Tian Lingzi, a eunuch, who was sheltered and listened to, and slandered and confused the king. The inferior class thought that such a disorderly order did not need to be observed. What's more, now is the critical time to destroy Goguryeo, and the king's order will be unacceptable. The subordinates are willing to jointly submit a letter to the court, please take back the order. ”

On the east bank of the Liao River, Li Jing is sitting on a newly built inspection earthen platform, which is a high platform built for the upcoming military parade. But now, this plain school field has become a stadium first. All the armies formed teams to start the Mid-Autumn Festival polo match. Now this is the first game of the competition, and the two elite cavalry units of the Crane Cavalry and the Silver Spear Cavalry are each sending elite polo teams to compete in the competition.

Li Jing and the high-level officials of the Zhenguo Army came to watch the game and cheer, but Li Zhen sat next to Li Jing, but he was not interested in watching this wonderful polo game.

The emperor passed down a holy decree, and Li Zhen suddenly became the new envoy of the Zhenguo Army in Denglai Town, and in the blink of an eye, he was roasted on the fire.

It would be false to say that Li Zhen was not moved by the duties of the town's national army, but he almost didn't have to think about it to understand the seriousness of this matter. Li Jing does not seem to have been in Dengzhou for a long time, and the formation of the Zhenguo Army has not been long in time. Even most of the sixteen states under his rule were laid in the past two years.

But Li Zhen, as Li Jing's first strategist all along, knows it very well. The Zhenguo Army is no better than anywhere else. It's a whole new model. Li Jing started in the army. Grow with commerce. Soldiers, peasants, industrialists, merchants, and soldiers have long formed a complete and stable chain of interests.

No one wants this chain of interests to be broken, how can the 200,000 troops of the Zhenguo Army enjoy better treatment than the Shence Army, how can they be willing to give up all this?

Li Zhen was also unwilling, although it was very tempting to make the position of Jiedu, but now he was under Li Jing's command, and his position was also rising. He was in the position of the Zhenguo Army. It is not less powerful than the new knots.

Moreover, although Li Jing has not made any moves since receiving the order, Li Zhen knows that Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Zhong have already seen Li Jing. In addition, Li Jing's people, Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji and others, have also seen Li Jing. And Zhou Dewei's Shengjie Army and Lin Wu's Silver Spear Suburban Army, plus Wang Chong's Japanese army, and Li Juyi's Crane Control Army, have all been mobilized.

Li Jing seemed to be in high spirits and enthusiastic about the game of polo.

He slapped his slap hard. cheered a wonderful long pass on the field to match the goal, and said with a smile: "The edict of the Son of Heaven has been issued by the three provinces." It represents the Tang Dynasty court, which is the law. As courtiers, we must naturally abide by it. ”

After Li Jing received the order, he publicly expressed his thoughts for the first time, and suddenly in the entire large box, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Lin Wei, Wang Wu and other senior civil and military officers stared and listened.

"The emperor abolished the Andong Dadu Protectorate, split the Zhenguo Army, established the new Five Domains, promoted the teacher and Xingxu as the Marshals of the Five Towns, and awarded the generals the senior shogunate of the Five Towns Marshal's Mansion and the post of Assassin of the Prefectures. This is the emperor's reward for your merits, and everyone should accept it. "Li Jing seems to be in a good mood.

However, none of the people present were relaxed.

Li Jing is the Zhenguo Army, without Li Jing, there will be no Zhenguo Army.

Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing, and she couldn't guess what this protΓ©gΓ© thought. But at this time, he knew that he should say something. Standing up, Cui Yunqing said with a smile: "The old man is old, impatient with official duties, and is preparing to retire to the old age, this appointment from the imperial court, the old man can't accept it." ”

Cui Yunqing expressed his position, and Li Zhenhe, Jingxiang, Gai Yu, and Guo Chengan, the other four new envoys, also expressed to Li Jing that they would resolutely not accept the new appointment of the imperial court.

"The king of the county, the army of the town cannot be divided, if the king of the county takes a step back today, the thieves will split the army of the town. When there is no Zhenguo Army in hand, how can the thieves let go of the county king and me at that time? Thousands of miles of exile are not available, but I am afraid that there is no place to bury me. Gai Yu said loudly, he had supported Li Keyong against the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, and now he naturally looked down on the position of the Tang Dynasty's marshal, and he was more looking forward to supporting Li Jing against the Tang Dynasty.

In his opinion, with Li Jing's ability, it is not impossible to seize the world. To be a condescending dragon Yuanzuo, the founder of the country, is not better than a festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, if Li Jing falls, he will definitely not be able to escape the reckoning.

"Just count the ball in reverse!" Guo Chengan, who had half-white hair, also simply shouted loudly, he was originally a strong man in Beisha City in southern Liaoning, and he was not a Tang man at all. Following Li Jing, in any way, it is very good. In that case, it's better to do the opposite. What's more, he had already seen that Li Jing had no intention of handing over the military power at all. In his opinion, Li Jing's current statement is just trying to test people's hearts. In that case, he naturally had to take a stand.

Li Jing does have a plan to wait and see.

For Li Jing, since he chose to be a warlord, he had expected that sooner or later there would be such a day.

Luckily, that day didn't come until today.

This gave Li Jing a lot of time, so that he could get to this day and really have the capital to resist.

Li Jing did have an antipathy, but he has not been against it until now, but Li Jing feels that as long as it is not a last resort, he will concentrate on developing and expanding his power. Although in recent years, a lot of money and grain have been handed over to the imperial court every year, but they have also won more time.

It was by virtue of this time that Li Jing went from a small Dengzhou to occupy southern Liaoning. Then he took Liaodong and then Ziqing. Originally, after taking Ziqing, the court may want to transfer him, and he also plans to turn over the court at that time.

However, the imperial court gave him an extra year, allowing him to not only take Liaoxi, but also Jizhou and Tan Erzhou.

At this point, Li Jing occupies the Shandong Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, and the northeastern part of Youzhou.

If the imperial court does not make this will, Li Jing even plans to continue to develop, after destroying Goguryeo and Khitan, he will develop steadily for a few years, and wait for Huangchao to completely mess up the Tang Dynasty, and then clean up the mountains and rivers.

However, things are not always smooth sailing.

However, the imperial court wanted to cut down the Zhenguo army, but it did not make Li Jing afraid. After all, Li Jing has actually been waiting for this day for a long time, and if it can be delayed until today, Li Jing is completely fearless.

It's really time to flip the hole cards!

However, I have to say that Tian Lingzi's strategy of splitting the Zhenguo Army and then appointing Li Zhen and others is very good.

Li Jing didn't dare to guarantee whether Li Zhen and the others would be tempted by this.

Since receiving the order, Li Jing has been watching, he is watching the reaction of the generals.

The Zhenguo Army has nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, and if he really wants to rebel against Li Jing, he is not afraid, but Li Jing is still worried about internal instability.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it is often breached from within.

But now it seems that the human heart is available. Li Zhen, Guo Chengan and others are still on his side, and even Cui Yunqing and Gai Yu, who he has always been worried about, are firmly on their side.

"The Son of Heaven is about to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Zheng Congyan and Cui Anqian Zhang Zimian will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to Liaodong." Li Wei reported the news that the Xiao Cavalry Division knew about the road, "The Son of Heaven will bring 30,000 Shence troops to Luoyang, and will also gather at least 20,000 elite soldiers from various towns along the road. And Zheng Congyan's 20,000 soldiers and horses will have Zheng Congyan's Hedong Army, and Cui Anqian's old department will also be transferred to the Zhongwu Huangtou Army, as well as Zhang Zimian's old Yingzhou Army. The three armies are 20,000 horses, and the cavalry of Xiayin Tuoba Dangxiang, the cavalry of Tiande Helian Tuyuhun, and the cavalry of Anqing, Sage, and Qibi of Datong will also be transferred. There were 20,000 soldiers in the three towns of Hedong, Zhongwu and Xuanwu, and 15,000 cavalry in the five divisions. A total of 35,000 soldiers and horses, including 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. ”

"It's not good!" When they heard that Zheng Congyan had brought more than 20,000 soldiers, and had actually transferred Wufan cavalry to come, everyone couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. Obviously, Zheng Congyan's mobilization of these 35,000 elites into Liao was definitely not aimed at the Goguryeo or Khitan people, they were coming for the Zhenguo army.

If Li Jing surrenders the military power, then Zheng Congyan will be responsible for monitoring the disarmament of the Zhenguo army.

If Li Jing refuses to hand over the military power, then they will definitely raise their knives and slash at the Zhenguo army.

Zheng Congyan led Hedong and Wufan to ride 20,000 soldiers out of Datong, into the grassland, and then into western Liao. Cui Anqian and Zhang Zimian led 15,000 people along Jishui to Ziqing. ”

"The king of the county, immediately withdraw the army from now on, and the soldiers and horses will be stationed in Pingzhou, Yingzhou and Ziqing."

"What is the reaction of the towns of Hebei now?" Li Jing suddenly asked Levi.

Li Wei was slightly stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Weibo Town and Tiande Town are a little worried about the imperial court's appointment of the county king as the marshal of Hebei Province and the observer ambassador. Yiwu Town expressed its support, Yichang Town did not react, Lu Longzhen reacted the most, and Liu Yue and Li Quanzhong were already preparing their troops after hearing the news. ”

"That's a good thing." Li Jing suddenly chuckled.

After thinking about it, Li Jing said again: "Before Zheng Dutong arrives, there will be at least one more month. This period of time is not long, but it is not short, and I think we should destroy Goguryeo first. ”

"The king of the county, this matter is not possible. If we can't destroy Goguryeo within a month, we may be attacked from the back. Moreover, in the west, there is also a Khitan enemy. Li Liang objected loudly.

Gai Yu also proposed: "My subordinates think that for now, we should mainly focus on the soldiers and horses of the imperial court." It is better to take the initiative, as long as you defeat Zheng and Cui, and then go to the imperial court, refuse to disband the Zhenguo army, and if you want to come, the imperial court can only take back your fate. ”

Li Jing shook his head, "No, I have made up my mind to destroy Goguryeo within a month!" ”

The generals looked at Li Jing, and they didn't know what the young handsome man was thinking at this time. (To be continued......)
