Chapter 799: Old Cheng Mouguo

When the Khitans stopped just fighting and rushing, and began to use strategy, although it was a bit incredible, it did cause a lot of trouble for the Qin army. The Khitan united with Mobei Muwei and Haidong Heishui Jian, combined 200,000 troops, defeated the Bohai Navy, and the troops reached Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, which was only a few hundred miles away from the Qin army's Andong Province.

In the face of the menacing barbarian soldiers, Li Jing was very angry, and felt that if he could not fight back violently, he was afraid that the northeast would be eroded from now on, and the rear would be restless.

In Beidaying, a suburb of Yanjing, Li Jing gathered with the generals last night, and then discussed logistics, grain, grass, ordnance and other matters with Li Rang of the household department, and later discussed with the Ministry of Rites the first Qin Fan civil service examination to be held in Yanjing City, and was busy until late at night. He slept very late, but he woke up very early, and after a short sleep, he got up and washed his face, rode a horse, played Tai Chi, practiced archery, and regained his full spirit.

When she took a shower after exercising, Gongsun Lan came in to report something, and under the teasing of the charming and sexy and seductive Gongsun Lan, she couldn't help but go over the clouds and rain with her, and then, she left her weak and paralyzed, put on her clothes, and walked out of the tent.

Walking on the morning frost everywhere, strolling in the barracks.

The terrain here is higher, and Li Jing can't help but think of the original plan. Originally, Shangshu Province, the Cabinet, the General Staff Yuan, and the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armies had already come up with a plan, preparing to use 60,000 troops on the one hand, and send troops from the north and south to directly threaten Li Quanzhong in Zhuozhou, and on the other hand, send people to summon Li Quanzhong to Yanjing to force Li Quanzhong to surrender without a fight. Then, the 60,000 troops mobilized by the Qin army will directly send troops to Yizhou, and encircle and annihilate the tens of thousands of Shatuo troops trapped in Yizhou. Capture Yizhou. Then we have to go south. Then seize Dingzhou.

It's just that things don't always go as planned, and just when he was about to send troops, the Khitans went south with 200,000 people.

Compared with the favorable situation in Hebei today, the northeast side is extremely troublesome. No matter from which point of view, Li Jing must send troops to the Bohai Sea. Even if he didn't want to, he had to.

As soon as he thought of these things, he couldn't help but feel his heart fluctuate, and his blood surged. It couldn't be calmed down for a long time. He vented from a distance, kicked a rock from his feet far away, and smashed it on the fence on the edge of the barracks.

"King Qin has something on his heart?" Cui Yunqing's voice came from behind him.

Li Jing turned around and saw the teacher carrying a pot of tea in his hand, and the guard behind him was holding a food box, which was a hot breakfast, with buns and fritters.

"I just went to the tent to find you, saying that you came out, and I know that you haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I brought it to you." Cui Yunqing is the left servant of Shangshu. is not only Li Jing's teacher, but also the first person under Li Jing in name. He is highly respected in the Qin army, and although he has a high status, he supports Li Jing very much, and he does not put on a show on weekdays, relying on the old and selling the old, and rarely interferes in military affairs, but only manages civil affairs with his heart, so Li Jing is both grateful and trustworthy to this teacher.

"Thank you, teacher." Li Jing said gratefully. Zhao Jiang and the guards brought two shields and put them on the ground as seats, and put the tea and breakfast in the middle, while Li Jing's master and apprentice drank morning tea and ate steaming mutton buns.

Taking a sip of hot tea, Li Jing said with a smile, "When the teacher accepted me as a protΓ©gΓ©, I was just a conscripted soldier who had just entered the city from the countryside. ”

Cui Yunqing also sighed with emotion: "Yes, how can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter a storm!" Now, you are already the king of Qin, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, these years, it has indeed turned the world upside down, and the world has changed too fast. ”

"Dengzhou has become better, Shandong has also become more stable, that is, Liaodong and Hebei, and they can return to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, thanks to Ji Yu." Cui Yunqing said slowly, paused, and then said: "It's just that in other places, it's getting worse and worse." The world was full of wars, feudal towns attacked each other, rebellions broke out, bandits survived, fields were barren, and famine continued. Chang'an and Luoyang two capitals fell, the Son of Heaven hunted in the west, etiquette was corrupted, morality was degraded, I heard that now many places hungry people began to change their children and eat, bandits began to use human flesh as military food. Ji Yu, the old man thinks we should do something! ”

"Teacher, aren't we working hard right now? Sometimes, it is necessary to break and stand up, although this is bound to go through labor pains. I believe that one day, we will be able to build a prosperous world of peace and stability and worry-free food and clothing on top of this ruin. Li Jingzhi said that this teacher is still a traditional Confucian in his bones, and that set of concepts is deeply rooted in his family, country, and world.

"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world!" Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing, "Do you really want to change the color of this world and break everything?" Thousands of innocent people! ”

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs! Teacher, if we want to change all this, we must first protect ourselves and strengthen ourselves. Otherwise, if you can't even protect yourself, how can you talk about protecting the people of the world? Li Jing shook his head slightly.

Of course, Li Jing also knows what the outside world has become now, although after the rapid expansion of the Qin Domain, with the depression of industry and commerce, as well as a large increase in population, as well as continuous military operations, the lives of the people in the Qin Domain have regressed a lot, but after all, they can barely get by. But in many other places, it's pretty bad.

War, famine, pestilence!

But Li Jing knows very well that these are not the worst, this is just the beginning.

"If you can exterminate the Huangchao pseudo-Qi and recover the two capitals, you will definitely be able to restore Lang Lang Qiankun." Cui Yunqing said.

Li Jing shook his head, even if Huang Chao is defeated now, it is impossible for this world to go back to the past. After the rebellion of Huangchao, the Li Tang court completely lost its prestige, and the feudal towns in various places had already been effectively divided. Now that the imperial court doesn't even have a Shence army like him, what else can it do to restrain the world's feudal towns?

With the Yellow Nest gone, the feudal towns will continue to attack each other, and the world will still be in chaos.

Li Jing did not discourage the spirit of this Confucian teacher.

"The teacher should know that the barbarian soldiers are in chaos outside the Saiwai and are attacking the Bohai Sea, but in fact, they are pointing at our Qin army, we can't wait until they reach the door of the house to rush to the battle, we must send troops to the Bohai Sea now. This time, the weather in Haidong is very cold, and it is now the freezing period on the sea, our ships cannot travel, and the logistics and transportation are difficult, so the soldiers and horses cannot be dispatched too much. It's going to be a tough battle, and we don't have the energy to think about anything else right now. Even if he was originally going to use troops against Yi Dingzhuo, it may be put on hold for the time being. Nowadays, we can't risk fighting two battles at the same time! ”

Li Jing knew very well what the teacher said, which meant that he hoped that he, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, could take on the responsibility of controlling the world's soldiers and horses, and coordinate the crusade against Huangchao by several major coalition forces in Hedong, Henan, Guanzhong, and Hebei. However, Li Jing previously issued a document to summon soldiers and horses from all over the country to beg for thieves, which was actually just a statement.

Let Huang Chao sit big, which is not good for Li Jing. But if Li Jing is allowed to ignore the situation around him at this time and run to King Qin, it is impossible.

Li Jing needs the title of Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and he also needs the prestige of commanding the world's soldiers and horses, but he will not really send troops to attack Huangchao.

Cui Yunqing heard Li Jing's true answer, her face was slightly disappointed, but she had long expected that this would be the result. Li Jing is no longer the country boy who entered Dengzhou City for the first time, and now he commands hundreds of thousands of troops, bases hundreds of states, governs tens of millions of people, and owns three points of the world.

After thinking about it, Cui Yunqing said loudly: "Since the king is ready to face Hu Qi with all his might, the Hebei battlefield should be temporarily suspended, and the old man has a strategy, maybe he can take Zhuozhou without blood, and solve Li Quanzhong's trouble." ”

"Teacher, please speak!"

Cui Yunqing said: "It is better for the King of Qin to directly take the order of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and order Li Quanzhong to lead the soldiers and horses of the Yiwu Army to be the vanguard of King Qinwang of Hebei, send troops to Henan, and join the Henan coalition army to counterattack Luoyang together." ”

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, but immediately understood again.

The Qin army now had to prepare to fight against Hu Cai, and was unwilling to fight on two fronts and fight Li Quanzhong. But Li Quanzhong's stay in Zhuozhou has always been a hidden danger. Now Cui Yunqing has put forward a plan, that is, to let Li Jing, with the authority of the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, order Li Quanzhong to leave Zhuozhou and send troops to Luoyang. Of course, in fact, it is not really to ask Li Quanzhong to fight Luoyang.

In the current situation, Li Quanzhong also knew very well that the Qin army would not allow him to continue to stay in Zhuozhou. Li Jing's order was tantamount to giving Li Quanzhong a new chance to choose, he didn't have to fight to the death with the Qin army, nor did he have to be annexed by the Qin army, he could choose the third way, take his men and horses, and leave Zhuozhou.

Under the banner of being ordered to beg for thieves, he left Zhuozhou and went to the Central Plains. From then on, it was impossible for him to come back, but he was still under the banner of the Tang Army, and he had tens of thousands of horses in his hands, so if Li Quanzhong left, he would actually be able to find a new place.

In this way, Li Jing drove away Li Quanzhong and took Zhuozhou, so he didn't have to go to war or worry about Li Quanzhong's troubles. Li Quanzhong was also able to preserve his strength, which is indeed a win-win situation.

And this seems to be more than good for Li Jing, Li Quanzhong went to Henan, fighting on the order of Li Jing to crusade against the thieves in Luoyang, he represents the Qin army, it is Li Jing, and it will undoubtedly let the world see Li Jing's positive performance in fighting thieves, and can win more people's hearts.

Li Jing couldn't help but applaud, this is indeed a unique strategy, a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

As long as Li Quanzhong leaves, even if he takes away those tens of thousands of horses, Li Jing doesn't care. As for whether Li Quanzhong will make a comeback in the future, and whether there is any possibility of letting the tiger return to the mountain, Li Jing is not worried. If Li Quanzhong can really make a comeback, that is his ability, but he will never worry that Li Quanzhong will make a comeback and return to Hebei, because once he leaves, there will never be a place for him here.
