Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 511 This is extortion
After listening to the messenger's report, Li Yuan had a smile on his face: "Interesting, it really is interesting. I've changed my mind. I'm going to the East Surrendered City, and I'm leaving immediately."

"Yes!" Li Jing had no choice but to agree.

There is no chief officer in Dongshoujiang City, only adjutants.Dongshoujiang is a sub-city under the control of Yunzhou, and a small city is under construction in the north of Yunzhou. It is said that the city is just an earthen enclosure, and it will take three years to become a strong city.

The most important thing in building a city is not stones or bricks, but popularity.

Li Jing ordered people to guard him and sent the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan to the area of ​​Shengzhou. The soldiers and horses sent by Yunzhou were originally to respond.

In real history, Yunzhou was captured by the Later Sui Dynasty with the help of the Turks in the early years of Zhenguan. Especially after the Weishui alliance, no one in the Tang Dynasty counterattacked, so the Later Sui Dynasty took advantage of it.

But it is different now, without the Tang Dynasty sending troops, Yunzhou City will crush the Later Sui Dynasty to death.

In the Later Sui Dynasty, even a lost sheep could not get close to the range of power of Yunzhou City.

After seeing off the Great Tang Emperor Li Yuan, Li Jing led his men and horses to block the only way for Li Ji's troops who came here under the banner of grain transportation, nominally to welcome them.

Li Ji's convoy did not stop, and only Li Ji brought two personal guards to the Chucao Pavilion on the side of the road.

Li Jing also came to the Caoting from another direction.

"Generalissimo." Li Ji saluted first.

"Mao Gong!" Li Jing returned the salute, and then asked, "For such a small matter as delivering food, you need to come here in person."

Li Ji handed a letter to Li Jing.

The letter was written by Liu Mu to Li Ji, and I only lent it to one person, Lao Lang.

Qin Qiong returned to Chang'an. Except for one of the eight relatives around him who was promoted to General Bingzhou, the other six were all transferred to the subordinates of Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji.

"What he wants is not the old wolf, but the two hundred soldiers from the direct line of the old wolf." Li Jing returned the letter to Li Ji.

Li Ji smiled awkwardly: "He also borrowed a hundred rides from Chai Shao."

"No wonder he didn't bring his newly trained main force with him when he came out of Chang'an. I also know that there are less than 1000 left from the 50 people of Chang'an's magic left guard." Li Jing looked north with his hands behind his back.

Li Ji approached Li Jing and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't blame him. He sent a messenger immediately after the Supreme Emperor arrived at Shuofang. He said that he was afraid that the Supreme Emperor would let him go to the battlefield, so he made more preparations."

"Then, what are you doing here?" Li Jing asked directly.

Li Ji asked Li Jing instead: "Didn't the Generalissimo discover that Su Dingfang is not in the camp?"

Li Jing was startled: "You mean, Su Dingfang followed Liu Rengui..." Li Jing stopped in the middle of his speech. Li Ji didn't know about his own strategic plan, and he believed that it was impossible for Liu Mu to mess up the rules and let the strategic plan be given to unrelated people. Know.

Sure enough, Li Ji said: "I don't know how to fight, but Su Dingfang is not here. He said that he can't command the troops. I hope I can help him for ten days. This is a favor, and he also told him that if the Supreme Emperor sends him to the battlefield, he will go to the battlefield." There is a [-]% chance of meeting Xieli, and a [-]% chance of killing Xieli, do you think I can not come with such a temptation?"

Li Jing nodded, and he would come too.

Moreover, this did not violate the military order. Li Jiben was responsible for transporting food and grass from Hengzhou, Xingzhou, Daizhou, and Bingzhou to the front line.And in only ten days, even I couldn't say that there was something wrong with Li Ji.It is reasonable and reasonable to lead troops to support the enemy who happened to meet during the process of escorting grain and grass.

"Go back to the city first, and I will discuss a small matter with you."

Two days later, Liu Mu, who was still living a dreamy life at the hot spring, got three pieces of news.

One is that the Supreme Emperor went directly to Dongshou surrendered city, the second is that Xieli assembled an army and has already gone south, and the third is that Li Ji was detained by Li Jing.

Later that day, Li Jing's messenger also arrived.

"Why do you have to punish your own people?" Liu Mu complained after reading the letter.

Li Junxian, who was playing mahjong with Liu Mu, asked: "Why do you say that, Marshal Li is definitely your friend, sir."

"He said that he would order Li Ji to lead his troops to escort him to Dongshoujiang City. Of course, if there are [-] flying reconnaissance cavalry to support him, then there is no need for an escort."

Dugu Xiuluo said: "I sent 60 people there. The heavy sword formation without Brother Lang is very troublesome. I feel that Xieli is coming for us. It was Su Dingfang who analyzed it before leaving, and it was divided into Xishou surrendered city."

Liu Mu didn't rush to agree, but just said: "It's not that I'm reluctant, and it's not that I'm stingy. The production cost of this hang glider is very high. The refined steel frame is combined with the bamboo weaving soaked in oil, and the fine silk alone is several kilograms. You need to add sheepskin, lacquer, glue, etc. How much time and how much does it cost to train a scout rider?"

This direction Dugu Shura has the most say, this training is really hard.

And people with thin body and good eyesight are required. Seventy percent of the qualified people are women, because women are thin and flexible.

For example, Dugu Shura himself could barely fly, but he couldn't carry any weight at all.

With Yu Chigong's body shape, he couldn't fly at all.

"Forget it, Li Junxian, you take people to the west to accept the surrender, and I will pick up General Wolf and General Li Ji. Dugu Shura, you go with me, according to what you said, bring 60 people."

Liu Mu understood that there was no way to refuse Li Jing this time.

Even if Li Jing doesn't detain Li Ji, it's hard for him to refuse when he comes to ask for it.But it doesn't mean that I won't discuss conditions with Li Jing, such as the treatment of these people.

In the surrender city, Liu Mu met Li Jing.

Li Jing did not expect that Liu Mu would bring forty female soldiers in military uniforms with him.

"Brother Yao, the battle is coming soon, so I won't go around with you, let's not talk about how much it takes to make and train this thing. Just two points, they carry poison and kerosene with them when they go out, and they will burn it if something happens. Lose their flying wings and kill themselves with poison. I don't need to describe how terrible it would be for them to fall into the hands of the Turks."

"En." Li Jing nodded, he did not object to Liu Mu's words at all.

It's just that Li Jing was a little surprised that these flying reconnaissance cavalry turned out to be female soldiers.

"Lieutenant Xuanjie, this is what I asked for from the Marshal of Zhengbei University. And one team needs two assistants and one miscellaneous soldier. In addition, strong sergeants and horses are also needed. Fifteen teams, and I brought a six-member ordnance maintenance team, so there are 66 people in total. I also want a ninth-rank military position as an assistant."

"can."

Li Jing secretly thanked Princess Pingyang Zhaowu. Without this princess, it would be impossible for Datang to have the rank of female soldier.

It's just that after the death of Princess Pingyang Zhaowu, there are no more women's ranks in the army.

In front of Liu Mu, Li Jing, as Marshal of Zhengbei University, immediately signed the official document and used his seal.

Liu Mu said again: "Brother Yao, there is one more rule. They are female soldiers."
