Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 687
Anton.

In Tieling Army Town.

Li Jing, the prefect of Liucheng County in Andong, and the first army envoy of the Zhongwu Army, was pacing in the hall with some anxiety. Relying on his keen intuition and careful investigation, Li Jing had just come up with something that surprised him a lot. conclusion.

"The Luo family is about to rebel!"

Combining all kinds of signs, especially Luo Cheng's abnormal whereabouts during this period, Li Jing came to this conclusion.

It's just that after coming to this conclusion, he was not very happy, but rather terrified.

Luo Cheng wants to rebel, so where will the Zhongwu Army go?What position will An Dongdao take?

And he, an outsider who has just been transferred from Mayi but is so trusted by Luo Cheng, will stand on what kind of position he will stand.

Li Jing didn't dare to tell others about this conclusion, and he didn't know who in the Zhongwu Army he could trust. After all, he had just arrived here, and the person he knew best here was Yu Chigong who also came from Mayi.

But Yu Chigong had already left Liaodong with Luo Cheng, and Li Jing speculated that Luo Cheng might have gone to meet Luo Siye to conspire.

"You really judge like that?"

Back in the mansion, Li Jing, who held back for a long time, finally found someone to talk to, and this person was his concubine Zhang Chuchen.Back then, she was a maidservant holding a red Buddha in Yang Su's mansion, so she was called Hong Fu Nu. She was originally a eunuch woman of the Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, because of the fall of the Chen Dynasty, she was also driven to Chang'an and given to Yang Su. .

There are hundreds of beautiful maidservants and singers in Yang Su's mansion, but Zhang Chuchen is just a dispensable maidservant.Until one day, she saw Li Jing who was visiting the mansion.

This young son of a nobleman from Guanlong is a talented person, and he is highly appreciated by Yang Su. He has a good family background, and even Yang Su said that he will definitely sit in his position in the future.So Hong Fu Nu took the initiative to go to Li Jing's room to express her love, recommended herself as a pillow mat, and later eloped with Li Jing to leave the house.

Fortunately, Yang Su is a more forthright person, not only did not take it as anger, but took it as a good thing, and gave her to Li Jing directly afterwards.

These years, Zhang Chuchen has been by Li Jing's side. Over the years, Li Jing has not soared as Yang Su Niuhong and others said, but is a bit middle-aged.

Fortunately, he performed well in the Siege of Yanmen last time, and after being transferred to Liaodong, Luo Cheng appreciated him even more. A newcomer from outside was suddenly selected by Luo Cheng as one of the envoys of the Fourth Army.

It can be said that Luo Cheng was kind to Li Jing.

"I'm sure that Luo Cheng is plotting to rebel." Li Jing sighed.

Zhang Chuchen still believed in her husband's judgment, because although her husband has been wasted for a few years, he is indeed capable, especially his insight is extremely keen.

"How many people in the Zhongwu Army are willing to follow him, and how many people in the six Anton counties are willing to follow him?" Zhang Chuchen continued to ask his husband.

Li Jing sighed.

This is what I am most emotional about right now. I came to Anton not long ago, but I was also surprised to find that this place is very different from the Central Plains.Although the Mayi I was in before was also a border land, it is completely different from here.

Although Luo Cheng has only been here for a few years, he manages the place like an iron bucket.

In the past, I only said that Luo became the commander-in-chief of the town, and he was famous for conquering Goguryeo in Liaodong, so he has a higher prestige here and acts arbitrarily, but now it seems that Luo Cheng's actions have long been tracked.

The Zhongwu Army originally had only [-] troops, but Luo Cheng used the county soldiers to forcibly compile a hundred thousand soldiers, and there was no difference between the county soldiers and the government soldiers, they were all well-equipped and well-trained.

Furthermore, his Tutuan, Xiangyong, and militiamen are actually making all the people soldiers.

Li Jing said that Luo Cheng took advantage of the expediency of the commander-in-chief of the border town, especially taking advantage of the newly captured territory of Andong Road, so here he broke the standard of granting land to the government soldiers, engaged in military and civilian settlements, and also used the war , He boldly distributed the war seized to the soldiers privately, so that the soldiers here only know that there is Luo Cheng, but they don't know that there is an imperial court.

"From Jiedu Chief Shi Hou Mo Chen Yi to Marching Sima Wei Zheng, and then from Duzhi Yingtian Envoy Wang Ziming to appeasement Deputy Envoy Song Laosheng, Luo Cheng has gathered a team that only follows his lead."

"That is to say, if Luo Chengzhen wants to raise troops, the Zhongwu Army will follow him to revolt? The officials and even the common people in the six counties of Andong will also follow?" Zhang Chuchen asked.

"Probably so. Maybe there will be some loyal people, but there won't be too many. Luo Cheng is very smart. He has already tied all the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong to the same boat with him through various means."

Li Jing thought that he was one of the few loyal people.

As a noble in Guanlong, Li Jing felt that he was obliged to maintain the dynasty established by his grandparents and brothers.

"I want to secretly report to the emperor and tell the court that Luo Cheng is planning to rebel."

Finally, Li Jing made up his mind and made a decision.

"You are crazy, you also said that Luo Cheng runs this place like an iron barrel, and Anton's soldiers and civilians are all tied to him. If you want to inform him of treason, I'm afraid your letter has not been sent yet. It fell into Luo Cheng's hands first."

"But how can I just sit and watch Luo Cheng's rebellion without doing anything about it? That's a traitorous traitor." Li Jing said.

"Husband, do you think Luo Cheng's rebellion can succeed?" Zhang Chuchen asked.

Li Jing didn't understand why she asked such a question.

"How many chances do you think you have?"

Li Jing thought for a while, and couldn't help but sigh even more, saying that Luo Cheng controls the six counties outside the Guan, and has a very good relationship with Xi and Qi. , and his soldiers are well-equipped, and his soldiers and horses are all battle-tested and brave soldiers.

And his brother Luo Siye was in charge of the Xuanwu Army in Dingxiang Road, with an army of more than [-], but he still controlled the Turkic people in Monan, and he could summon tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry at any time.

In addition, Hebei appeasement envoy Li Jing was Luo Cheng's teacher, Shandong Dao Jiedu envoy Zhang Xutuo was also Luo Cheng's teacher, and deputy envoy Luo Gui was his father.

In addition, Xue Shixiong, governor of Fanyang Mansion, had a good deal with Luo, and several of Xue's sons were generals under Luo Cheng's command, and they were very popular.

In addition, Luo Yi is the Jiedu envoy of Annan Road, and also holds a town of Haijun and a town.

·······
The more calculations, the more helpless Li Jing became.

"On the other hand, the imperial court, after the Battle of Yanmen, the Xiaoguo army was wiped out. Although there are still [-] people, it is no more than a concentration camp for thieves, prisoners, refugees, and rogues. The Eastern Capital Army in the Central Plains can't even defeat Li Mi. In Jianghuai and Jiangnan, Meng Rang Zuo Caixiang and Li Zitong are involved in three teams."

After such calculations, Li Jing felt that if Luo Cheng really wanted to rebel, the imperial court might not be able to mobilize many troops to fight against him.

"Since Luo Cheng's winning rate is so high, why doesn't my husband adapt to the current situation? You are so respected and used by Luo Cheng now, if your husband is willing to help him, then when the dynasty changes, your husband will not lose the position of a hero."

Li Jing said angrily to his concubine, "How can things be calculated so utilitarianly? As a minister, loyalty and filial piety should be the first priority. I am a general of the Sui Dynasty. Now when the country is in trouble, I will try my best to help the country, how can I still think of being a traitor?"

Zhang Chuchen tried his best to persuade Li Jing, saying that although your Li family has several generations of nobles, you have experienced the Western Wei Dynasty to stand on your own, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. .

But Li Jing insisted that this was not the case.

"You are a woman who doesn't understand loyalty and filial piety, so I still won't tell you." Li Jing waved his hand and let Zhang Chuchen go out.
