The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. In wars, many times the fight is logistics, and the fight is grain and grass.

Li Jing burned the grain and grass of the Youzhou soldiers in Sanhe City with a fire, and almost captured Liu Yue, the leader of the Youzhou soldiers, alive in Xianzhou City. In this battle, Liu Yue was frightened, and he was in a bow. Along the way, there was a lot of noise, and the last one fled until he was in Jizhou City.

Fan Xinglong and other generals who were fighting against Li Quanzhong and Li Keju on the front line, when they heard that the grain and grass in Sanhe had been burned, and their leader Liu Yue had actually been beaten and fled directly to Jicheng in the rear, they couldn't help but look at each other and tremble in fear. It was very tacit that Fan Xinglong and other Youzhou generals retreated that night.

Li Keju was surprised at first, and when he received Li Jing's victory, he couldn't help but be excited. Immediately led the Yanzhou soldiers to chase and kill, the two armies stopped fighting, and after the most Lu successively captured the two cities of Liaoxi and Huairou, they directly hit the gate of Danzhou and blocked the door of the mighty army.

Just when Li Keju fantasized about taking the opportunity to subdue Liu Yue, Fan Xinglong and many other unconvinced generals. He suddenly got the news that after Li Jing ransacked Xianzhou City, he did not take advantage of the victory to march again, but was returning to Youzhou City.

As soon as Li Jing retreated, Fan Xinglong and other soldiers and horses pressed towards Danzhou again, preparing to recapture the cities of Liaoxi and Huairou. As a result, although Li Keju was very unhappy after the most reluctance, he had to hand over the two cities of Liaoxi and Huairou to Li Quanzhong's father and son for defense, and added Li Quanzhong as the assassin of Danzhou, Li Congwei as the envoy of Liaoxi suppression, and Li Kuangchou as the envoy of Huairou suppression. He took Liu Rengong and other generals and had no choice but to return to Youzhou.

Halfway through.

"Li Jing deliberately didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue!" Liu Rengong said hatefully, "He just doesn't want us to pacify the civil strife in Youzhou, so that he can control us." ”

Li Keju didn't understand this. "Someday. I will take full control of the town of Lulong. At that time, I would settle these accounts with Li Jing in one stroke. ”

But now, Li Keju knows that Lu Dao still can't offend Li Jing. As soon as he returned to Youzhou, Li Keju immediately went to meet Li Jing, and took out a large part of the money and treasures captured in these battles and gave them to Li Jing.

Li Jing accepted these gifts with a smile.

Sending the gift list to the side, Li Jing said very gently: "I was worried that you would not be able to support the situation in Youzhou for a while after I left. Well, now that Liu Yue and Fan Xinglong have been defeated, it will be difficult to do anything for a while. I can also rest assured that I can go to Datong to beg for thieves! ”

"Uncle is really kind to his nephew, and my nephew is grateful." Li Keju said in a hypocritical manner.

"Originally, I was going to help you clean up Liu Yue and them completely. However, a messenger arrived at the imperial court, and Li Ke, the sand thief in Datong, became more and more troublesome with his father and son, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had suffered several losses. The imperial court has repeatedly urged me to send troops, and I have no choice but to do so. "Li Jing is also a fake way.

However, Li Keyong will never believe these words in his heart, you have been under Youzhou City for so long before. Why don't you say that the court urged you to quell the rebellion. Now it's time to be healthy, and you suddenly stop fighting. It is clear that they want to keep Liu Yue and contain him. But even if you know it, what can you do?

Although Liu Yue and the others were defeated for a while, they lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It can be said that his strength is still inferior to theirs. If he offends Li Jing now, Li Jing suddenly turns his face and supports Liu Yue as a marshal, then he will immediately die without a place to be buried.

Endure, endure humiliation. Li Keju endured in his heart, only by forbearance can he have the opportunity to talk about other things.

"When is my uncle going to leave? The nephew is really reluctant to let his uncle leave, and the Zhendong Army is leaving, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to resist Liu Yue and Fan Xinglong. The nephew is not prestigious enough, and he simply orders these people not to move. Li Keju said hypocritically.

Li Jing looked thoughtful, and said after a while: "Since this is the case, then why don't I leave a few people for you." ”

As soon as he heard that Li Jing was beating snakes with sticks and wanted to install people in Youzhou, Li Keju really regretted that his intestines were blue. At the moment, I can't wait to slap myself a few times and call you cheap. But it was already so, and at this point he could no longer object.

"I sent troops this time, with 8,000 unity soldiers. However, in the previous battle, some of them were lost, and now there are still six thousand. Since you don't have enough troops at the moment, then I will leave these 6,000 unity soldiers for you to help you make a move. In addition, I pulled out the generals Jiang Ju and Shi Shoucheng, as well as Guo Zhenhai and Gao Rong, the four generals to stay behind, in terms of civilians, how about letting Zhang De'an, the junior envoy of the supervision army under the command of Zhang Chengye, the supervisor of the Zhendong Army, stay as a contact? ”

After Li Jing thought about it, he finally decided to leave the united soldiers in southern Liaoning. First, because these united soldiers were not strong in combat, they went to Datong and crossed the mountains and mountains, and Li Jing did not plan to bring too many people. Second, when these people were brought out, Li Jing didn't plan to bring them back. Now it's just right, throw them in Youzhou, and you can also use them as a nail.

The four generals he chose were also what he had been thinking about for a long time. Shi Shoucheng and Jiang Ju were originally strong in southern Liaoning, and most of these united soldiers in southern Liaoning were their subordinates. This time, they were also injured, and Li Jing took this opportunity to completely withdraw them from the inner circle of the Zhendong Army. Add some official positions to them, and take these 6,000 united soldiers, which not only purifies the ranks of the Zhendong Army, but also facilitates the thorough digestion of the remaining Liaonan soldiers in the future. Moreover, he also buried a nail beside Li Keju to monitor Li Keju. to ensure Li Jing's interests in Youzhou. As for putting a eunuch, it is also because eunuchs can be civil and martial, and they can be placed in the army and Li Keju's side. As for Gorong, this person is a Goguryeo. A total of 6,000 Hu people were recruited in the Zhendong Army, and these people accounted for a large proportion of the Zhendong Army, and they were all headed by Gao Rong at present. Gao Rong's prestige among these Hu soldiers is increasing, and Li Jing simply put him out of the Zhendong Army this time and stays in Youzhou to avoid some signs.

And picking Guo Zhenhai to stay, Li Jing was ready to let him spy on Shi Shoucheng and the others, so as not to be co-opted by Li Keju after they were the most embarrassed. These 6,000 soldiers are a box, Shi Shoucheng is the commander of the soldiers, Gao is the deputy commander of the soldiers, Guo Zhenhai is the Marquis of Duyu, Jiang Ju is the Sima, and Zhang Dean is naturally the supervisor.

Hearing that Li Jing didn't give any room for change, he immediately arranged the entire plan. Li Keju was so blocked that he was almost speechless, but he still had to smile and nod in agreement.

"Virtuous nephew, these 6,000 soldiers are all elite soldiers, and these generals are also the generals of our Zhendong Army, carefully selected for you. You have to treat them well, and besides, the military expenses and food and grass will be taken care of by the virtuous nephew together. Li Jing said very casually.

"Good!" This good word Li Keju came out with clenched teeth.

After resting in Youzhou City for another three days, Li Jing called Guo Zhenhai, Gao Rong and others one by one to talk alone. and gave them all promotions, and also rewarded them with rich money and food. In the end, these people were persuaded to stay in Youzhou.

This army was not stationed in Youzhou City, but moved to Vaud, the eastern gateway of Youzhou.

After leaving the unity soldiers behind, Li Jing's soldiers and horses still had 20,000 horses. After the previous battles, the Liaonan soldiers and the Duli town soldiers suffered great losses, losing more than half, but after being annexed by the Gao family, the soldiers and horses were reorganized, and the number still reached 20,000. And that's not even counting the thousands of wounded. These wounded soldiers Li Jing are now also handed over to Guo Zhenhai and them, and they will stay in Vaud first, and then take them back when the Zhendong Army returns to the division.

Due to this war in Youzhou, Li Jing did not choose Feigu in Yizhou to cross the Taihang Mountain and enter Jin when he entered Hedong.

Instead, from the Jimen in the north of Youzhou, that is, the head of the military capital, also known as the Great Wall Pass of Juyong Pass, it enters the military capital of Taihang, one of the eight mountains of Taihang, and then enters Yanzhou from then on, and then enters Datong along the Sanggan River.

The military capital is the throat road from Yan to the north of Jinbei to Inner Mongolia in ancient times.

Li Jing led 20,000 soldiers and horses to slowly pass through the dangerous pass, and Li Ke, who had been sent here, looked at Li Jing's back as he walked away, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, feeling like a mountain landing.

He suddenly felt a little sudden, for the position of Lu Longjun Marshal, he buried his father's death in his heart, and forced a smile to meet Li Jing, is it really worth it. However, this kind of phase is only a blink of an eye. He pressed it down again, and everything was worth it for the sake of the handsome position.

This damn man, Li Keju turned his head and spat with some resentment. I heard that Li Keyong of the Shatuo clan in Datong is now dizzy with his father and son, and he can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. He thought to himself, it would be good if Li Keyong beat this Li Jing as well, and it could be regarded as helping him out of his bad breath by the way.

However, Li Jing, who has entered the military capital, can't hear this.

Between Yan and Jin, there is a natural boundary, that is, Taihang Mountain. Taihang Mountain is majestic, it is difficult to climb over, only eight canyon holes can be crossed, this is Taihang Bashan. The military capital, as one of the eight Taihang Mountains, is not too long. The entire military capital, in fact, crossed the border between Youzhou and Yanzhou, and did not enter the territory of Hedong.

Although the road was dangerous, it was only a few dozen miles away, and Li Jing's army had already crossed the military capital in only one day.

After entering Yanzhou, this can basically be regarded as the territory of the Gao family. Gao Shunli was originally a military envoy of the Ningwu army, but when he came back this time, he had become a general of the Zhendong army from a Yan general. Li Jing followed into Ningwu Military City, first went to visit Gao Shunli's mother, and then condolences to the other clansmen of the Gao family.

After that, Gao Shunli discussed with Li Jing and wanted to move the Gao family to Dengzhou. This proposal is not only Gao's fear of retaliation from Li Keju and other Youzhou soldiers, but also a sign of loyalty to Li Jing. Li Jing did not hesitate to this proposal and immediately agreed.

After discussing with Li Jing, Gao Shunli gathered the remaining soldiers and horses of Ning Wujun, and after inquiry, most of them were willing to go to Dengzhou, which was rumored by the merchants to have a better life. These soldiers will escort their family and the entire family of the Gao family to Dengzhou.

For these people, Li Jing took out a sum of money and sent it down according to the settling-in allowance of 20 yuan per person, so that they could move to Dengzhou with peace of mind. He wrote a letter and handed it to them, asking them to go directly to Lin Wei after they arrived, and ask him to help arrange the problems after the relocation. (To be continued......)
