"Chin this!" The shrill voice of the eunuch finally ended with a long tail note. Li Jing shouted thanksgiving and raised his hands to receive the holy decree. The eunuch said to Li Jing with a smile on his face: "Li Duhu, congratulations!" ”

"My father-in-law is tired all the way, please go into the camp and rest." Although Li Jing didn't have a good impression of the eunuch, he would not show his thoughts, and with a smile on his face, he invited him into the palace of the king of Water City and the original envoy.

The eunuch was very affectionate to Li Jing, and came forward to take Li Jing's hand directly, and the soft but somewhat damp hand was held in his hand, which made Li Jing feel a little uncomfortable, but he still let him lead him and walk together. He looked at Li Jing as he walked, and said affectionately with a smile on his face: "Li Duhu is really young and brave, and His Majesty and the ministers of the court are all full of praise." Your Majesty crowned you the champion general, that is really worthy of the name, when the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing was also a young and brave warrior, broke the Huns, and had to be crowned the champion Hou, and now the name of the general's courage is directly transmitted to the Son of Heaven, and the title of the champion general is really comparable to Huo Quai. ”

Zhang Chengye on the side also followed Li Jing's side, and smiled at Li Jing at this time: "The county marquis broke the rebels in Qingzhou, and the capital Chang'an has spread. In the tea market of Jingshi's wine shop, you can hear people everywhere that say that the general's prestige is famous. There are even singers who have made up the great victory of the county marquis into a singing song, such as the county marquis galloping 300 miles to Qingzhou, and the plan will be calculated to fight the palace. There is also the mighty Zhendong Army. Cavalry broke the rebels. There are also kites to pass on notices, capture Qingzhou City at night, bravely chase the rebels, break the rebels on the banks of the Zishui River, the county marquis's magical powers, and shoot nine people with nine arrows in a row, etc. Now this is the most popular song in the capital, and it is sung in every teahouse. We were passing by once and wanted to hear it. I can't squeeze in. The marquis of the county can now be said to be famous all over the world, bravely crowning the three armies. ”

Li Jing was of course very happy when he heard this, and reputation is also a very important thing, especially when it spreads to the capital. "This is all thanks to the blessing of the Son of Heaven and the prestige of Song Dashuai, and he does not dare to take credit."

Zhang Chengye and this eunuch named Wang Tong are both called Li Jing's marquis, because Li Jing's Marquis of Zhendong is the sixth marquis in the eleventh rank of the Tang Dynasty. It is above the county prince and the county marquis, and there are three levels below: the county uncle, the county son, and the county male. According to the system. Li Jing's title is a county marquis, so Li Jing's title is a county name, and then the word founding of the country must be added below the national duke, and the full name should be the founding marquis of a certain county. However, Li Jing's current title is not the name of the county but the military name of the east of the town, which is also the first case, because it is the royal words of the Son of Heaven, no one raised any objections, and the matter was decided in this way.

Moreover, Li Jing has 3,000 households in the food town and 1,000 households in the actual food area, so Li Jing couldn't help asking: "I don't know what county a certain place in Ludao is sealed?" ”

"Your Majesty said that the fief of the county marquis was sealed in Wendeng County, Dengzhou, and Qingxiang Ning set aside ten villages and 1,000 households as the fiefdom of the county marquis." Wang Tong said.

Li Jing nodded and sealed the fief in Li Jing's hometown, which was an extremely honor. However, this fief only enjoys the taxes paid by 1,000 feudal households, and the taxes that should be paid by his feudal households every year will be handed over to Li Jing from now on, of course, Li Jing has to pay 30% of this income to the imperial court. In addition to collecting taxes, in fact, there are no other rights to these fiefs, which are completely different from the fiefs of the Han Dynasty. However, although the Tang Dynasty said that the title was generous, and there were often kings with different surnames, but Shi Chulu was mostly falsely sealed, and often there were only a few hundred national dukes.

Along the way, Song Wen and other Dengzhou generals were all thoughtful, and they originally came to find Li Jing menacingly, but now they have all calmed down. According to the current situation, Li Jing does not want to go to Dengzhou's military power, his favor in front of the Son of Heaven may have surpassed that of the festival marshal Song Wei. It can be said that in the entire Dengzhou, except for royal princes such as Li Xiao, the king of Zhao, Li Jing is now chasing Song Wei whether he is an official or a saint. Song Wei is the general of Jinwu, Li Jing is the general of Jinwu and the champion general, Song Wei is the Marquis of Wuning, and Li Jing is the Marquis of Zhendong. Song Wei was in charge of the Lu Army, and Li Jing was now in charge of the Eastern Army. What's more, Li Jing is now also adding the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, which is not in Song Wei's Ziqing Town.

Everyone couldn't understand what the emperor thought, according to the normal situation, the capital protector of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was about the same status as the Marshal of the Road. Since Li Jing was appointed as the protector of Anton, it stands to reason that he should not continue to serve as the defense envoy of Dengzhou under Ziqing Town. But things are so strange, Li Jing became the protector of Anton on the one hand, and he was almost shoulder to shoulder with Song Wei's official position, but it was very strange that he did not remove the post of Da Xie Yan's suppression of soldiers and horses and the defense envoy of Dengzhou, and even Li Jing is now serving as the second position of Jiedu Escort and Jiedu Pioneer.

In this way, the most embarrassing thing is Dengzhou's assassin Shi Song Wen. Li Jing is higher than him regardless of grade and title, and now one of the two of them serves as a defense envoy and the other serves as a regimental training envoy, both of whom are the official positions of the Dao Commander-in-Chief Dengzhou soldiers and horses, and Song Wen previously felt that he had the position of assassin to suppress Li Jing, but now, he was suddenly shorter than Li Jing.

Dengzhou and his party were a little depressed, but the generals of the Zhendong Army who followed Li Jing were all triumphant and honored. This time, Li Jing made a name for himself in front of the Son of Heaven, and as the generals of the Zhendong Army, they were naturally very happy.

After entering the hall, Li Jing invited Wang Tong to take a seat, and asked Guo Chengan to immediately present a box of gifts. Wang Tong opened a little crack, glanced at it, a piece of golden light dazzling, ten taels of gold collars, just five, a full fifty taels of gold, converted, one gold is equal to five silver, one silver is equal to two horses of silk, that is, 1,600 yuan, these 50 taels of gold are equivalent to 800,000 yuan, a full 800 yuan.

Wang Tong's eyes almost couldn't open, and there was a smile on his face, eight hundred times, he was just a seven-rank eunuch, and his status in the palace was not high, such a gift could be said to be the largest one he had ever received, and he was immediately smiling.

Quietly accepted the gift. Wang Tong waved to the soldiers who followed. Suddenly, someone held several boxes. As soon as it opens. But it is a complete set of equipment, a set of red lacquer mountain armor, a royal sword made of iron, and a precious horse lance made by royal craftsmen, as well as a royal vermilion lacquer horn bow, and a hundred gilt arrows.

"These are all royal armor and ordnance that His Majesty has used and collected, and this time the general is hereby given." Wang Tong said with a little envy. What he said was the truth, these weapons were all imperial weapons used by the emperor, that is, armor, and one of the emperor's collections. What a privilege it is to receive such a reward.

"Oh, there is one more thing, our family almost forgot, the Privy Council Envoy Tian has something to ask our family to bring to the general."

Tian Shu's envoy, that is naturally the great eunuch Tian Lingzi, I heard that he had something to bring. Li Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Father-in-law, please speak!"

Wang Tong's voice lowered a little and said, "Gonggong Tian said. His Majesty originally intended to let you lead the Zhendong Army into Beijing, but because of the current turbulent situation in Qingzhou, he let you stay in Qingzhou. Tian Gonggong also said that in fact, it is not easy to live in Chang'an, so that the general can stay in Shandong with peace of mind and strive to recover Liaodong for the imperial court as soon as possible. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Li Jing immediately understood the meaning of Tian Lingzi's words. He was afraid that he would bring troops into Beijing and affect him. Immediately smiled lightly: "Please also ask the prince to tell the Duke of Jin that he is just a general of the border army of the Tang Dynasty, and there are 150,000 Shence troops led by the Duke of Jin in Beijing, where is the use of a certain person entering Beijing." Even if the Son of Heaven is called, the border is heavy, and a certain person does not dare to leave lightly. ”

Hearing this answer, Wang Tong was very satisfied. After chatting a few more words at the moment, from beginning to end, Wang Tong didn't even say a few words to Song Wen, and only cared about talking to Li Jing, which made Song Wen and the others' faces more and more ugly. Later, Li Jing let a banquet and entertained Wang Tong well.

After drinking a meal of wine for two hours, Wang Tong was only an eight-grade petty official, but he was very happy to be treated by Li Jing like this, and secretly decided to say more good things for Li Jing after returning to the capital. After sending the drunken Wang Tong into the room to rest, Li Jing directly asked Song Wen, who was drinking alcohol, to the study.

Li Jing directly handed a book of urgent reports to Song Wen, "A few days ago, Deputy Marshal Kang led his troops to pursue Wang Jingwu, but he was defeated in Zizhou, losing thousands of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, Dayu led the rear army to arrive, and he killed Wang Jingwu. However, at present, Wang Jingwu retreated into the city of Zizhou to hold on, and the marshal and others besieged the city for a long time without an inch. I heard that because of insufficient logistical preparations, the soldiers besieging the city actually fell to Wang Jingwu secretly because of poor food, and a group of Zizhou soldiers and horses suddenly fell to Wang Jingwu secretly. ”

Song Wen couldn't believe it when he saw this defeat, Wang Jingwu saw that he was about to die, and he actually won two battles in succession. On the contrary, the Pinglu Army, which had a good situation before, suffered two defeats. Looking at Song Wen's expression, Li Jing had also expected it, and when he got the news, he couldn't believe it. Na Kang Chengzhi and Song Wen and others, they are all battle-hardened generals. But he didn't expect that it was not Wang Jingwu's opponent, but think about it, although Song Wei and the others are veterans, the soldiers under their command are put together by twenty or thirty battalion leaders in five states, and what combat effectiveness can the soldiers and horses put together on a temporary basis have. What's more, the two states of Ziqi were the main battle of Wang Jingwu and others, but the pro-military battalion under Song Wei had already collapsed in Qingzhou City.

Seeing Song Wen silent, Li Jing knew that it was time for him to have a showdown.

He tapped lightly on the table: "When Song Shuai asked me to send troops to Qingzhou, he promised me that I would take over the history of Dengzhou Assassin afterwards and give me the number of the Zhendong Army. Now I led my troops to Qingzhou as agreed, rushed to the aid of 300 miles, helped Song Dashuai and others avoid a certain death, and helped Dashuai recapture Qingzhou, and defeated the rebels, killing more than 8,000 before and after, and capturing more than 3,000. At that time, Wang Jingwu escaped from Zishui with a broken arm, but there were only more than 2,000 remnants. Now, I have recruited 5,000 soldiers and horses from the three naval divisions of Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou to relieve the Dengzhou Rebellion. The contribution is not small, and the credit is not small, do you say? ”

Song Wen was silent, Li Jing's strength was clear in this battle to enter Qingzhou, and fierce people like Wang Jingwu were not his opponents at all. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Song Dashuai did not fulfill his promise and handed over the assassination history of Dengzhou to him. After all, although Li Jing now seems to be obeying the orders of the commander, he can see that Li Jing is getting more and more out of control, if he is allowed to Dengzhou, then there will be a small feudal town in Ziqing Town that the marshal cannot control.

"I heard that Wang Jingwu has been running Ziqi Erzhou for a long time, and that Zhang Chan and Lu Hongke are also powerful people. Although Song Shuai has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, there are tens of thousands of people in the unity camp alone, and there is no tacit understanding between the various departments. Even if Song Shuai is mighty, if he wants to rely on that little soldier and horse to pacify Wang Jingwu and recapture Ziqi, I think it is difficult. ”

"What do you want to say?" Song Wen stared at Li Jing and asked.

"Let's make a deal, you give me the position of Dengzhou Assassin, and Dengzhou will belong to me in the future."

"I can't call the shots!" Song Wen sneered.

"Don't worry, you won't suffer. You hand over Dengzhou to me, and you can take away all the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou now, even 5,000 united soldiers. I believe that with the assistance of these soldiers and horses, Song Jieshuai should be able to exterminate Wang Jingwu. This is a very good account, give me Dengzhou, but I can immediately recapture the two states of Ziqi. Besides, even if I do the history of Dengzhou, this Dengzhou and my Zhendong Army will still obey the orders of the marshal. ”

Song Wen sneered: "Then why don't you lead the troops to Ziqi again to help the commander exterminate the rebels?" ”

"That's not what I said, if Dashuai can fulfill his previous promise first, it is not impossible for me and my brothers to go to Ziqi again, provided that we fulfill our promise first." Li Jing chuckled: "By the way, in order to show my support for the marshal, I am willing to give 100,000 stone grain and 1 million yuan to the marshal for the military expenses of quelling the rebellion." ”

Song Wen was still hesitating, and Li Jing continued: "The situation on Song Jieshuai's side is a little bad now, but General Song is staying in Dengzhou with nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it's not a good way." If Song Wei was defeated by Wang Jingwu, it would be troublesome at that time. If Qingzhou is lost again, it will be difficult to regain it. ”

"This matter has to be arranged by the marshal, and I will ask the marshal for instructions immediately."

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!" (To be continued......)
