Qingzhou, Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu Envoy's Mansion.

"Jie Shuai, Dengzhou Cui Thorn History Book has arrived!" Song Jirong, the commander of the Pinglu Army, said in a deep voice outside the study.

"Come in and say." In the study, a half-white old man sat cross-legged on a bed, with a small table in front of him, on which were three folds. Song Jirong had already recognized it at a glance, and the three folds on these few were all sent in by him today. Like the excerpts of the current Dengzhou Assassin History in his hand, the three letters were also sent by Dengzhou, namely Dengzhou Beijia, Zhaowang Li Wei, Dengzhou Governor Shi Feng Yanqing and Dengzhou Sima Yuxuan.

Sitting on the Hu bed is Song Wei, the envoy of Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu, who is now in charge of the military administration of the five states of Qing, Qi, Zi, Lai, and Deng. Song Wei has been in the southwest in his early years, and has fought against Nanzhao many times, and has many military exploits. Last year, Wei Baoheng was trapped in Cong, and Yu Xuan, the original Ziqing Ping Lu Jiedu, was Yu Cong's brother, and was therefore demoted to Dengzhou Sima, and the imperial court transferred him from the southwest to Qingzhou as a marshal.

In the treacherous mountains and rivers in the southwest, he was accustomed to the life of Rongma, and he saw a lot of Nanban villains, and when he arrived in this prosperous Ziqing Town all of a sudden, Song Wei really couldn't adapt to it for a while. Fortunately, Ziqing has been safe and sound since the imperial court cut off the Li Zhengji family. In the past year, he has gradually begun to get used to this comfortable and comfortable life.

It's just that such good days are always short, just after half a year, there was a great drought and then a locust plague, and now there is famine everywhere, and the displaced people are continuous. In the direction of Xu Haiyan in the Huaisi area, there are Pang Xun's remnants who fled four years ago and were not caught, fanning the flames and taking the lead in making trouble everywhere. Seeing that the five states of Ziqing have also begun to mess up, Song Wei has recently added a lot of gray hair all at once.

He dispatched troops and generals above, and he was busy opening positions to raise the people, but the people on this side were still restless.

Early this morning, he received an official letter from Dengzhou. At that time, he was still a little strange, this Dengzhou Beijia is the eighth emperor uncle of the current emperor, for some reason before the new emperor ascended the throne, he had been arranged from the capital to Dengzhou, the East China Sea, to be a non-driver, but in fact, everyone understood that King Zhao was degraded and exiled. This King Zhao is a very smart, low-key and cautious person, he is not good at drinking in Dengzhou, why did he write an excerpt for him, is he not afraid of being jealous of him and linking up with the minister?

After reading the letter, Song Wei was a little surprised, but what he played was that a group of ten people from Dengzhou's newly convened unity soldiers actually exterminated the famous bandit Xihuo Village in Dengzhou, and also killed all its big and small leaders on the spot. The good news of killing the ten thieves was originally a small thing for a veteran like Song Wei who once fought with Tubo in southern Xinjiang. But now the situation is different, bandits are swarming in various places, and the reports received every day are not only the looting of the township, but also the robbery of the prefecture and county.

For several months, he has been overwhelmed by these news, especially now that rumors are spreading everywhere, making people panic. He desperately needs a victory now to quell these rumors. He has ordered all units of the Pinglu Army to prepare for a large-scale sweep to eliminate bandits in the near future. In addition, according to the will of the imperial court, all states and counties were allowed to recruit unity soldiers for training.

It's just that although he Song Wei is also a general of the unified army, he has only been in Ziqing Town for a short time, and he is not very familiar with the armies below. As soon as he issued an order to suppress the bandits, the various departments of the Pinglu Army below had already sent all kinds of military requests and reward requests to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion like snowflakes.

This scene couldn't help but remind him of a sentence, the arrogant soldier will chase the commander, and the handsome strong will rebel. Although the three generations and four successive divisions of the Li family in Ziqing Pinglu have been eliminated, the imperial court has also redivided Ziqing Town and ruled Ziqing Town for decades. But in fact, Ziqing Town, as a powerful military town that had been divided for as many as fifty or sixty years, and as one of the five major secession towns that once established themselves as kings together with the three towns of Hebei and Huaixi Town, even if the imperial court now controls Ziqing Town, in fact, the 37,500 soldiers of the Pinglu Army are still very fierce.

He was a foreign envoy of Jiedu, and when he came, he only brought 500 personal soldiers, and it was too difficult to tame these proud soldiers.

On the one hand, there are more and more bandits in various places, and there are constantly thieves from the direction of Xu Haimi to Ziqing Town, on the other hand, rumors are spreading in various states of Ziqing Town, and the people are panicked. But he, Song Wei, had just taken office, so how could he come up with so much money to reward the army?

Song Wei was in a dilemma, it was impossible for him, the marshal, to take his five hundred personal soldiers to personally go into battle to suppress the bandits, right?

It was at this time that he received this good news. Song Wei immediately keenly captured the meaning behind this small good news, the reason why the Pinglu Army dared to bargain with him was because the current situation was tense, and Song Wei had no one available except the Pinglu Army. But now Li Wei's good news has made him understand that he is not really unavailable, at least he still has unity soldiers.

In the five towns of Ziqing, the number of Pinglu troops gathered this time was amazing, with 18,000 men and horses, equivalent to half of the Pinglu army. Although this was only a newly recruited Tutuan, Song Wei knew very well that as long as he used it well, he could still force the Pinglu Army to change its current attitude.

Song Wei immediately decided that he must do a good job in this article, and he must reward the united soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the victory, and reward them heavily!

It's just that Song Wei was a little surprised that not long after Li Wei's good news arrived, Governor Deng's history came with another good news. Song Wei initially thought it was another good news, but after reading it carefully, he was surprised to find that Li Wei and Feng Yanqing actually reported the same thing, but the list of meritorious united soldiers in it was different.

In the same battle, there were actually two different batches of meritorious lists, which is a strange thing.

In the afternoon, he received an official letter from Dengzhou Sima and Yu Xuan, the former envoy of Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu, which also attached a list, but he thought the same as Li Xiao.

Don't drive, Changshi, Sima, and the three Shangzuo of Dengzhou all sent him a report, but there was no news from Cui Yunqing, the assassin of Dengzhou.

In fact, after comparing the two different lists, Song Wei has already seen the biggest difference between the two lists, that is, there is one more Feng Liang on Feng Yanqing's list, and there are four less unity soldiers surnamed Wang. He asked Song Jirong to inquire about who Feng Liang was, and Song Jirong told him that Feng Yanqing had a nephew named Feng Liang, and everything was clear.

Song Wei looked at the official document in Song Jirong's hand, "Have you read it?" ”

"Nope." Song Jirong is Song Wei's nephew, and he is also Song Wei's personal soldier and envoy. It can be said that Song Wei is the most trusted person in Ziqing Town, he has actually read this official document when he came, but he did not admit it to his face. Because if he said that he had seen it, he would know that Song Wei would definitely ask him what he thought about this matter. This matter is not trivial, on the surface, it seems to be just a small matter of taking the lead in the army, but in fact, it has involved the power struggle in Dengzhou. To put it seriously, this matter even involves the struggle of the royal family, the Yu family, the Feng family, and the Cui family.

Song Wei lowered his eyelids, didn't say anything more, opened the official document and glanced at it twice, and sneered: "Sure enough, as I expected, this matter is indeed Feng Yanqing's ghost." The dignified Bohai Feng clan, such a small military feat has to be taken to take the lead, it is really embarrassing. ”

"Jie Shuai, how to deal with this matter?"

Song Wei pondered for a long time and said: "This matter is very complicated, Dengzhou Cui Feng is not compatible, and now Cui Yunqing has King Zhao and Yu Gong behind him, and Feng Yanqing is at a disadvantage." If Feng Yanqing is completely defeated, then Dengzhou will be an iron bridge. But if we support Feng Yanqing, it is a little inappropriate, although it is difficult for King Zhao to turn over, but the Yu family is about to turn over, and we can't offend the Yu family because of this. I have to think about this matter carefully, so let's ignore Cui Feng and the two of them first, reward those united soldiers first, and immediately issue an official document to inform the counties of the five states of Qingqi, let's also reward and publicize the unity soldiers, so that the Pinglu army can be anxious. ”

"The handsome and wise, everything is under your control, and the subordinates will do what you tell you to do immediately." Song Jirong bent down and retreated.
