(Thank you for the renewal of the ticket of Sud Tsai, Ren What Demon, Scholar 819, Alan2007 three monthly passes, thank you for the dream in the world, Dream two rewards, Xie Lu thank you for your support, ask for monthly ticket support!) )

When Li Rang found Jing Xiang in the barracks, he was helping the sergeants write letters to their families.

"Zizhen, the handsome man is waiting for you in the handsome tent." Li Rang smiled and said to Jingxiang, "After I told Dashuai about your talents, Dashuai was very interested and wanted to see you immediately." ”

"The marshal wants to see me?" Jing Xiang became excited, immediately put pen to paper, quickly finished the letter, and then apologized to the sergeants waiting in line to write the letter, and followed Li Rang to the city. Along the way, Jing Xiang was in a stirring mood, and gratefully Chong Li said: "Thank you Qilang for your recommendation!" ”

Li Rang waved his hand and smiled, since he became Li Jing's seventh disciple, he can now be said to be on a rising tide. Originally, he was just rich, but businessmen did not fight with officials, and he was rich but powerless. But now, after becoming Li Jing's disciple, he still has Li Jing's trust and can serve as the deputy judge of Jiedu and the military officer. Although this is a civil affairs official, neither a military general nor a minister, but the judge of the Zhenguo Army is in charge of the six Cao, and is in charge of almost everything other than military transfers. And Sihu participates in the military, and his duties include almost all affairs except the military.

It may seem like a mixed bag, but it is extremely important. Regarding this official position, Tang Gaozu once said that this official should not be clear. This is not a noble official position, but it is an extremely important position. The division of the household and the military is in charge of household registration, accounting, roads, fields, miscellaneous yao, burdens, milling, water power, transfers, marriages and other duties. The six Cao of the state are equivalent to the six departments of the imperial court Shangshu Province, and the household joining the army is the household Shangshu. Even locally. Tube more.

Li Rang smiled: "This matter is just a recommendation." The most important thing is that the gentleman is really talented. Wang Huzuo is an old friend with a certain person, and he tried his best to recommend Mr. Xie's talent to a certain person, and asked Mr. Xie to thank him. ”

Wang Huzuo is Li Rang's subordinate, originally a native of Feng Yi in Guanzhong Tongzhou, and later a small official in Bianzhou, and Li Rang is a very familiar person, and often has contacts. Li Rang became Li Jing's disciple and held important official positions. So he gathered a group of people to help. Among them, Wang Fa abandoned his post and went to the Zhenguo Army, and now he is appointed as the judge of the Zhenguo Army, Hu Cao, who joined the army, and Cao Zuo.

Jing Xiang is Wang Fa's fellow villager, and the two families are considered world friends. Jing Xiang was in his early twenties, and as a teenager he was already very smart and responsive, he loved to read, and was especially good at writing articles. At the end of last year, Jing Xiang entered Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, but failed to be named in the gold list. I was depressed and had to go back to my hometown, and I was going to take the exam again next year. After returning home. Soon I heard that the towns of the imperial court pacified the Daibei Shatuo tribe, and the towns entered Beijing. He couldn't help but think. I want to temporarily join the shogunate of the feudal town and seek some qualifications first. But because of the delay at home, when he arrived in Chang'an, the towns had already returned to the town from Beijing.

I also heard that the imperial court sent twelve towns to encircle and suppress the grass thieves, so he went to Henan again, but after arriving in Henan, he successively went to visit Du Xian, the defense envoy of the eastern capital of Jidu, Cui Anqian, the envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu, and Mu Renyu, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu. But he was just a non-first soldier, and the towns were busy preparing to send troops, and the people below didn't even give him a chance to pass on.

After the most entanglement, he had to write letters to others in Bianzhou, but he accidentally ran into his fellow villager Wang Fa. Originally, he wanted to rely on Wang Fa's introduction to the Xuanwu shogunate, but Wang Fa resigned to join the national army. After the most Lu Hou, Jing Xiang also followed the Zhenguo Army, but Wang Fa was only a sesame petty official. Although he became a Hu Cao Zuo, he was only a petty official of the Nine Grades, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to introduce him to Li Jing for a while.

However, Jing Xiang did not complain, but simply gave full play to his strengths, and usually wrote letters for some illiterate generals and ordinary people in the battalion. Sometimes, some officers in the army even asked him to write some post-war summaries, and even some official documents.

Jing Xiang's writing is smooth and beautiful, easy to understand, and the words are even more beautiful, which is very popular with officers and soldiers and the people accompanying the army.

Li Jing also found that several official documents of officers were written by others these days, and after inquiry, he learned that the road was written by a non-first soldier in the army. Originally, Li Jing planned to recruit him into the army as a teacher in the army, but he forgot about it when he was busy. As a result, when it was rare to dine with his disciples today, Li Rang took the opportunity to recommend Jing Xiang to Li Jing, that is, this person has great talent. Li Jingcai remembered this person again, and couldn't help but be interested for a while, so he asked Li Rang to bring this person over. "Since this man is talented, how can I miss it, you brought him to let me meet."

With excitement, when he arrived at Li Jing's temporary office in the city, his face was already flushed.

Li Jing was not the only one in the hall, but several of the leading civil officials in the Zhenguo Army, Li Zhen, Guo Chengan, Du Zhongwu, and Zhang Chengye were all there, and even Gaiyu was an exception. On the military general's side, only Li Jing's eleven disciples were there. Li Jing deliberately didn't call those martial artists to come, and deliberately made this meeting into a more relaxed atmosphere.

When Li Jing first heard about Jing Xiang from his officers, what he heard was not the name Jing Xiang, but the honorific title of Mr. Zizhen. Therefore, Li Jing didn't care too much, after all, with Li Jing's reputation now, there are already many scholars who have come to defect. Among these people, to be honest, there are only two types of things that Li Jing can use, one is the strategist class, these people are good at strategy, and the staff officers praise the painting well. There is also a type of practical and general affairs, which is responsible for handling civil affairs. It's a pity that there are very few talents in these two categories, most of them are dead books, and even many people do very well in poetry and songs, but they can't do specific things. For these people, Li Jing can only arrange for them to be Mr. Xi. It's a pity that most of the scholars who came to him came to be officials, so few of them were willing to be teachers for a group of Qiu Ba.

It is often in high spirits, and in the blink of an eye, it is defeated. Seeing a lot, Li Jing also neglected the enthusiasm of these scholars. But today, when Li Rang recommended him, he deliberately introduced Mr. Zizhen's identity carefully, among which Mr. Zizhen's name was Jingxiang, and Li Jing heard it for the first time. But at that time, I was shocked, who is Jing Xiang?

If this Jingxiang is Bi Jingxiang, and not someone with the same name and surname, it is completely worth his shock.

Houliang who destroyed the Tang Dynasty had two of the most famous strategists, known as the strategists and shuangbi, one was Li Zhen and the other was Jing Xiang. Now Li Jing is already under Li Jing's command, serving as the Sima of the Zhenguo Army's festival march, and temporarily inspecting the post of the school's marching staff officer, which is of great help to Li Jing.

And Jing Xiang, in the history of the Later Liang, was the first strategist under the Later Liang Taizu Zhu Wen.

According to the information in Li Jing's memory, Jing Xiang was not a poor scholar, but a child of an official family. He once claimed to be a descendant of Wang Jinghui of Pingyang County in the Tang Dynasty, his great-grandfather Jingwan was the history of the Suizhou Thorn, his grandfather Jing Xin was the official of the Tongzhou Peng, that is, the subordinate official of the Thorn History, and his father Jing Gon was the official of the Jizhou Thorn History.

Historically, Zhu Wen's Later Liang hegemony was greatly helped by Jing Xiang, especially in Zhu Wen's crucial battle for Qin Zongquan, and he showed his talents more fully.

Since Zhu Wen has the assistance of Jing Xiang, a military advisor, the cause of hegemony has gradually become successful. Jing Xiang's talent was first revealed in the battle for Qin's power. After the death of Huang Chao, the general Qin Zongquan was called the emperor, and captured the western part of Henan, becoming Zhu Wen's biggest opponent in the Central Plains, Qin soldiers pressed the border, besieged Bianzhou with 36 battalions of soldiers and horses, Zhu Wen had few soldiers and difficult enemies, on the one hand, he sent people to recruit troops, and on the other hand, he asked for help from outside. In this process, Jing Xiang's strange and good strategies continued, predicting things like gods, and finally defeated Qin Zongquan in Xiaocun in the north of Bianzhou, making it a great decline, and later Zhu Wen mobilized heavy troops to encircle and annihilate, Qin Zongquan was captured, escorted to Chang'an to behead, Zhu Wen also entered the king of Dongping County. Zhu Wen praised Jing Xiang a lot, saying that he and Jing Xiang hated to see each other late, and said with great emotion: "Strange people from the sky are here for me!" After that, whenever he encountered major military affairs and governance strategies, Zhu Wen would ask Jing Xiang for advice and countermeasures.

Shi Zai Jingxiang is scheming, and he is the best at deception!

When Tang Zhaozong, Feng Jingxiang was the right servant of the school and Taifuqing, and he was also given the title of "Yingluan Yezan Hero".

After Zhu Wen became emperor, he used Jing Xiang more seriously, and Zhu Wen changed the Privy Council of the former Tang Dynasty to the Chongzheng Yuan, and appointed Jing Xiang as the Privy Council. This official position, which has always been held by the great eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, is even above the prime minister.

Later, Zhu Wen was promoted to Jingxiang as a doctor of Guanglu, a scholar of the marching department, a scholar of the Jinluan Palace, and a marquis of Pingyang County. For the first time in Houliang, a university scholar was first awarded to Jing Xiang, and Jing Xiang became the first meritorious hero of Hou Liang.

After the Liang was extinguished, Jing Xiang refused to surrender and Tang committed suicide.

In history, Li Zhen, one of the two strategists of the Later Liang Dynasty, was the most reluctant and descended to the Later Tang Dynasty after the death of the Later Liang, but Jing Xiang committed suicide after the death of the country.

Seeing Jing Xiang, Li Jing looked at him carefully, he was about the same age as himself, six feet tall, fair leather, square face and nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance! Although his body is a little thin, he is full of scholarly atmosphere, but his eyes are very bright and bright.

The eyes of the two looked at each other, Li Jing smiled slightly, stood up, and went directly to the door of the hall.

Walking in front of Jing Xiang in three or two steps, Li Jing and Jing Xiang greeted each other, and then suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhi Dao is very proficient in the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", I have some foundation now, and I really want to learn the methods in "Spring and Autumn" to fight, in order to achieve a greater cause, I don't know what Mr. Lu Dao thinks?" ”

After speaking, Li Jing looked directly at Jing Xiang, waiting for his answer. In fact, Li Jing also suddenly remembered this sentence that in history, when the hero Zhu Wen and the strategist Jingxiang met for the first time, Zhu Wen used this sentence to test Jingxiang.

Jing Xiang didn't disappoint Li Jing, he just pondered for a moment, and then said the reply that Li Jing had seen in the history books.

"From ancient times to the present, the way of using troops is to adapt to the situation, and to win by surprise. The ancient customs have not been inherited until now, and they have changed greatly, and they are the way of using soldiers. Blindly studying "Spring and Autumn" is to stick to the old ways, and the result can only be vain and ineffective, and it is difficult to win a hundred battles, so it is difficult to have hope for the great cause of the great handsome.
