(Thank you for the dream never completed, the reward of the two windy buns, thank you.) Ask for a commuter pass! ）

On 20 August, Li Maoxun convened the generals of Lu Longjun's various departments to discuss the matter.

When the generals arrived, Li Maoxun directly took out Li Jing's handwritten letter and handed it to the generals for circulation. Li Maoxun is very haggard today, and he doesn't have half of the arrogance in the past.

After all the generals had passed it on, Li Maoxun let out a long sigh.

"Previously, Li Keyong, a Shatuo person, attacked the Ningwu army, but fortunately was defeated by my son. But as soon as Shatuo's Flying Tiger Zi retreated, the Heavenly Wolf of Dengzhou led an army of 30,000 to land in my Youzhou, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and he didn't put my Lulong generals in his eyes at all. Huichang City, in just over a month, has been occupied twice by the Zhendong Army. The Zhendong Army came to our Youzhou, just like their backyard vegetable garden. Whatever you like, you can pick something, and when you're done, pack it up and take it away. Last time, the Youzhou army broke through our six cities, robbed me of 100,000 people, and plundered nearly 10 million of money, grain, and property. ”

This time, Li Jing's appetite has become bigger and bigger. He offered two million pieces of money, 100,000 stones of grain and grass, and four cities. After Li Maoxun finished speaking, he stood up with a withered expression, "I, Li Maoxun, raised troops before, because Zhang Gongsu was brutal, and when I asked Li Jing to send troops, it was also for the sake of my Youzhou soldiers and people." But he didn't expect that it was to lure the wolf into the room. This is my Li Maoxun's responsibility, the current situation, I feel deeply guilty, no face to serve as the head of Youzhou, today, specially summoned the generals to come, as long as the generals elected a high-ranking general, I will be on the spot to give up the position of the commander. I hope that because I abdicate and make way for Xian, Li Jing will no longer be coerced by the past. Give me peace and tranquility in Youzhou. ”

said. Li Maoxun actually squeezed out two tears. A hero looks helpless.

At present, Li Jing is aggressively entering Youzhou, and it can be said that a big reason is because he Li Maoxun did not give Li Jing that money, and the responsibility lies with him. But he really can't come up with the money, and he can't sit down with the three requirements that Li Jing is putting forward now. After thinking about it, the last thing was his son Li Maoju's proposal. It's better to retreat and advance.

At this time, the biggest threat is not Li Jing, but the generals and leaders in Youzhou. If these people use Li Jing's entry into Youzhou as an excuse to suddenly make trouble and want to drive him out of power, at that time, he will have no way to deal with internal and external troubles. Now, take the initiative to take a step back and pretend to give up this handsome position.

This time. Let the leaders elect a new commander, these people. Each has a ghost's heart, at this time, how can anyone be expected by everyone. Moreover, if Li Maoxun abdicates, the pressure on Li Jing will be on the head of the new marshal, who is willing to bear this pressure?

If you give everyone time, you will definitely be able to compromise on a result. But if Li Maoxun suddenly wants to abdicate, how can he reach any compromise for a while. The worst result is bound to be inconclusive. In this way, the generals will no longer be able to attack him. When the internal worries are removed, only the external troubles remain.

Things are just as Li Keju predicted, everyone looks at me, and after discussing for a long time, no one can convince others to become the new commander. As a result, Li Maoxun is still firmly in the handsome position.

"Since you still let me be the head of the generals, then we will work together to deal with Li Jing. Li Jing's Zhendong army is strong and well-armed. 30,000 soldiers and horses, but 100,000 soldiers. Thinking that before, Li Jing's 8,000 soldiers and horses sent troops to Qingzhou, and Wang Jingwu was defeated. Wang Jingwu had already captured Qingzhou, but he was still beaten out of Qingzhou by Li Jing at the end, and even on the bank of the Zishui River, the Zhendong army was 8,000 against 10,000, and the Zhendong army killed Wang Jingwu 3,000 and captured 3,000 with slight losses. Li Jing is like a wolf and a tiger, I am only afraid that my Youzhou army will not be able to defeat Li Jing. ”

The generals didn't speak, waiting for Li Maoxun's later words.

Li Maoxun looked at the generals and didn't react, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"I've already thought about it, why don't we break the fortune this time. Everyone can make up together, and two million yuan and 100,000 stones of grain and grass should be able to make up. I, Li Maoxun, don't have much money, but I'm willing to sell my wealth, I can get 100,000 yuan, and I'm willing to take it all out. Ladies and gentlemen, let's get together and report the number to see how much we can make. How much can I make up, I will first take the money to Huichang to see Li Jing and ask him for his guilt. ”

"Why should the handsome destroy his own prestige and increase the reputation of others?" Li Maoxun's words finally made the generals unable to sit still. The soldiers and horses made Li Quanzhong stand up suddenly, "Li Jing is just a yellow-haired boy, he killed a few pirates, and he thought he was great after fighting Wang Jingwu in Qingzhou." In my opinion, that's not all. I think that the Qingzhou tooth soldiers were really powerful at the beginning, and the Pinglu army was also the soldiers and horses under our Lu Longjie envoy. But that was in the early years in western Liaoning and when Ziqing was seized at the beginning. Over the years, Ziqing has not fought for many years, and has long become a group of cowards, how can they be compared with our Lu Longjun? ”

Li Quanzhong is a native of Fanyang and served as Sima in Dizhou in his early years. Later, he returned to Youzhou and followed Li Maoxun's son Li Keju, who is also Li Maoxun's descendant and is currently a general in Youzhou.

Youzhou is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty and has always been in contact with the Hu people, especially in recent years, it has been facing the southern invasion of the Khitan and Xi people alone. Fighting all year round, there are many brave soldiers in the army. For Li Jing's aggressiveness, I can't help but feel the same hatred. Especially the helpless look shown by Li Maoxun made them feel even more unhappy. If Li Maoxun asks Li Jing to give in, he will lose not only the face of Li Maoxun alone, but the faces of all the soldiers of the Lu Long Army. As an old powerhouse, they also have their own arrogance, how can they take a twenty-one-year-old son like Li Jing to ride on their heads and do nonsense.

Gao Shunli, the general of Yanzhou, also took the case: "I have 90,000 soldiers and horses in the Lulong army, how can I be afraid of Li Jing." He is only 30,000 soldiers, and these 30,000 people will not all be soldiers, and the logistics baggage troops will be at least more than 30%, and it is already impossible to have 20,000 soldiers. What's more, this battle is Li Jing's territory in Youzhou, and we have the home advantage. Let's beat his mother, if he doesn't beat him Li Jing, he won't know how powerful our Lu Longjun is. ”

Before the words fell, a white-robed young man standing behind Gao Shunli stepped out and shouted: "If you want to be a striker, you only need three thousand light horses!" ”

After the white-robed young man finished speaking, two more young generals came out of the ranks, stood next to him and asked for battle at the same time: "We are willing to go together!" ”

Fan Xinglong, the military envoy of the powerful army in the state, frowned, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "When the military is discussed, how can you allow a few juniors to talk nonsense here, and you will not be beaten out." ”

The white-robed young general glanced at Fan Xinglong coldly, and said proudly: "On the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, and you don't have to talk about seniority." If Fan Jun is angry, he can go to Li Jing. If not, why not lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to be a pioneer? ”

Fan Xinglong is half a hundred years old, and the veteran Lu Long couldn't help but blush with anger at this time, and pointed at the young general and said, "Which doll is this, why don't you know the rules at all?" ”

Gao Shunli, the general of Yanzhou, got up and said: "I'm sorry, this is my son's succession, young and vigorous, and I have offended Fan Jun's envoy." ”

Li Maoxun sat there but was secretly happy in his heart, Gao Shunli was his descendant, and Fan Xinglong was the old military leader of Youzhou, and he was still happy to watch when they fought.

smiled and said to Fan Xinglong: "Fan Junenvoy doesn't know, this white-robed young general is very famous in Yanzhou. Last time, Li Ke, the flying tiger, was used to invade my realm, and this son went out with my son to meet the battle, and a bright silver spear picked down countless Shatuo soldiers. Among the countless crow troops, holding bright silver spears, stepping off silver-maned horses, they were the blockers. The Shatuo people who killed were frightened, although they were young, they were already a fierce general in my Youzhou, and they were nicknamed 'White Horse Silver Spear'. Young people are a little more angry, but their skills are still good. ”

These words are undoubtedly a secret demonstration that although Xinglong is old, his ability is not as good as that of Gao Siji, a young general. Fan Xinglong, who was angry, turned red, but he really didn't dare to let him beat Li Jing as a pioneer.

However, Fan Xinglong didn't dare, but the other generals couldn't stand this excitement.

At today's meeting, the generals from Yanzhou are more powerful than the other, and they are all rushing to be pioneers. It seems that these veterans are timid and incompetent. At this time, they were aroused and asked to fight.

Li Maoxun saw that the goal had been achieved, and finally under the pressure of Li Jing, the generals were willing to send troops, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was decided at the moment that Li Jing's extortion would be counterattacked with a strong force.

Lu Longjun discussed it, and finally decided to mobilize 50,000 troops in Youzhou Town and besiege Huichang in five ways.

Gao Shunli and Gao Zhongwu brothers are the soldiers and horses of the former army, Gao Siji, the white horse and silver spear, is the forward soldier and horse envoy, and his brother Gao Sixiang and cousin Gao Mian are the left and right deputies. Li Maoxun led the middle route army, his son Li Keju led the rear route army, the tooth general Li Quanzhong led the left route army, and the Jingsai army envoy Liu Yue was the commander of the right route army. Five soldiers and horses, 10,000 each.

Liu Rengong, the ten generals of the bald battalion, was incorporated into the Middle Route Army and became Li Maoxun's personal guard. Although it seems to be down one level, it is actually a high level.

However, while Li Maoxun gathered troops and horses, he did not give up his plan to negotiate peace with Li Jing. As a last resort, he didn't want to fight against Li Jing. While gathering troops and horses, Li Maoxun called Liu Gutou, the new general of the guard, over and handed him a letter, asking him to return to Huichang and hand over the letter to Li Jing.

Although he was a little reluctant, Liu Rengong had to ride a horse and run all the way back to Huichang. Arrived in Huichang and left for a few days, but it was still quiet. Although the Zhendong Army occupied Huichang City, it seemed to surprise him that they did not commit any crimes. If it weren't for the big banner of Li on the head of the city, he would have thought that the Zhendong Army would have left here.

Two hundred steps in front of the city gate, Liu Rengong turned over and dismounted, and slowly approached the city gate.

"I am the messenger of the Marshal Lu Long, and our Marshal has a reply to the Duke of Zhendong County!" Liu Rengong said as calmly as possible.

The guards at the gate looked at him a few times, checked his military badge and other things, and then let him into the city. (To be continued......)
