Late Tang

"Yanei, the little lady of the Wang family is here to ask for an audience!" Zhao Jiang reported outside the study, with infinite admiration in his voice.The general is really popular with women, he is very lucky, and even a stunning woman can't be pushed away, so he came to him on his own initiative.

In the study, Li Jing frowned, and said directly: "No see!" After a pause, he continued, "Just say I'm tired and have already rested!"

As soon as the words were finished, Zhao Jiang said helplessly: "Little lady, don't rush!"

"General Ji Yu, could it be that the little girl is a snake and scorpion, which makes you so fearful that you don't even want to give him a chance to see each other?" A light and soft voice came in, followed by Wang Wanjun combing Feitian. She walked in with a high bun, an open-chested open top, red silk on her shoulders, a yellow short-sleeved short shirt, a green floor-length skirt, and a red belt hanging from her waist.

The slow-tie skirt is half-exposed, and the pink breast is half-covered.

Stunning, indeed stunning.When Li Jing raised his head and saw Wang Wanjun for the first time, he couldn't help being amazed.In terms of beauty alone, Wang Wanjun is definitely the most beautiful woman Li Jing has ever seen in Datang, not one of them.Compared with her, Guiniang and Wan'er are less noble and less beautiful.Although the princess and the young lady are equally noble, they still lack some of their beauty.Gongsun Lan is charming, mature and sexy, but not as fresh and pure as Wang Wanjun's soul-stirring beauty.Megan and Julie have a delicate beauty, which pales in comparison to her.

Sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon to shame the flowers, the beauty of the city and the country!

Wang Wanjun was also looking at Li Jing, with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, with a long, tall and vigorous figure.The body is dignified and the appearance is dignified.A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and two eyebrows were like paint.The chest is wide and broad, and there is a majesty that is invincible.Nearly seven feet tall, he is a military commander who has won many battles, but his face is relatively pale.Mei's facial features look extraordinarily vivid, especially her lips, which are almost as rosy as rouge.But although his appearance is beautiful, he is not feminine at all; especially those eyes, which look confident and proud.White clothes and black hair, elegant and handsome!

What a handsome man, Wang Wanjun was a little surprised for a moment.Although she had collected a lot of information about Li Jing before coming here, she never deliberately asked about Li Jing's appearance.She is not a superficial girl who judges people by their appearance, but in her heart she only thinks that a peasant boy like Li Jing, a young general, should have a dark face, rough and thick, and a strong back.Unexpectedly, Li Jing actually looked more like a handsome white-faced scholar.

Zhao Jiang, who followed in, saw that Li Jing and Wang Wanniang were staring at each other in a daze, like a bastard staring at a mung bean, and couldn't help showing a smile that any man could understand, and stepped back lightly, very eloquently. He closed the door.

After being amazed, Li Jing quickly woke up and said with a wry smile: "What is this little lady doing? Come here in the middle of the night, don't you know that the lonely man and widow living in the same room will attract bad guesses and rumors?"

Wang Wanjun looked straight at Li Jing, and smiled indifferently: "I have already brought my dowry, everyone is yours, so why do you care about this?"

"I did not agree to this marriage. I believe that my words have already been passed on to you." Li Jing said in a deep voice.When talking to Wang Wanjun, he can't help but be a little distracted by her gaze. This is an unusual woman, not just a beautiful appearance.

"Why? Don't I just dislike you? When you saw me just now, didn't you have a look of appreciation in your eyes?"

Wang Wanjun looked directly at Li Jing, and there was a trace of softness in his words, which made people feel pity for her, wanting to cherish her well.

"The little lady is heavenly and beautiful. Anyone who sees her will not be impressed. But marriage and marriage are two different things."

"If the young master refuses to keep me, then I can only die here." Speaking of this, Wang Wanjun suddenly pulled out a small silver knife from his waist.

Li Jing froze for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"Young master, why don't you want to keep me? I'm ugly?"

"No."

"Then I have a bad temper and bad character?"

"It's really not a good temper to take out a knife all the time." Li Jing smiled.

Wang Wanjun burst into tears, "If the young master agrees to keep me, there will be a lot of benefits but nothing. From now on, Duli Town and Shamen Town will be staunch allies. The general is in Dengzhou, and Duli Town is in Liaodong. Wouldn't it be great if the two families communicated with each other and traded with each other, and the two families would make money from harmony."

Wang Wanjun looked at her sadly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.Li Jing felt a little moved by her gaze, but finally shook his head.Although it is simple to keep her, it is very likely that Li Lingfu will misunderstand that he has secretly formed an alliance with Duli Town.For now, Shamen Town and Qingnipu are firm allies, and Li Jing has no trust or favor for the group of businessmen in Duli Town.

"I'm sorry, I can't keep you, I'm sorry!" Li Jing shook his head, and called Zhao Jiang, "Send Miss Wang back, and have Duli Town come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Wang Wanjun didn't expect that Li Jing would be neither moved by her beauty nor sympathetic to her beauty. Facing her pitiful request, he would be indifferent and couldn't help but smiled wryly.When she came, she was full of confidence, thinking that with her beauty and wisdom, she would definitely be able to take Li Jing down easily.Unexpectedly, it failed like this.She still wanted to say something, but Li Jing had already waved her hand, turned around, picked up a book and started to read it, but she didn't even look at her anymore.

Early the next morning, Zhao Jiang arranged for someone to deliver the letter to Duli Town.

However, Duli Town seems to be looking forward to this marriage. For several days in a row, the compensation materials on various agreements were shipped in one by one, but every time the materials were unloaded from the ship and handed over, they returned immediately and never mentioned picking them up. The matter of Wang Wanjun.When Shamen Town mentioned it, they immediately said that they couldn't control this matter, and left in a hurry.Li Jing originally planned to send a boat to take her back, but every time he went to pick her up, Wang Wanjun immediately pointed the small silver knife at him and threatened her with death, and in the end he could only watch her live day by day.

"General, all the money, food and materials in the agreement, worth a total of 300 million yuan, have all been handed over. In addition, there are a few more than what was originally agreed, including 1000 horses, 5000 cattle, [-] sheep, and [-] gold. Two, [-] taels of silver, one hundred carts of spices, and one thousand bolts of silk. These are the dowry brought by the little lady, what do you think about it?"

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed, and Duli Town delivered all the supplies in the shortest possible time.This made Li Jing a little surprised. It seemed that Shamen Town was indeed scared of being beaten.But the matter of that little lady is a bit troublesome now, she is stuck here like a piece of cowhide plaster.No one could send her away, as soon as he said to send her away, he immediately drew his knife at him, Li Jing was really worried that she would kill him.Anyway, she is Wang Pu's daughter, even if she doesn't marry her, but if she really has something wrong here, I'm afraid the situation that was finally settled will change again.

Wang Pu is really proud to have such a luxurious dowry.

"Temporarily seal it up and store it in storage."

After getting the compensation, Li Jing is now in a good mood. As for Wang Wanjun, he really doesn't take it seriously. She can wait as long as she wants, and there is no loss.

"Old Zhang, since the money has been received, we don't need to gather all the troops here to threaten the town of Duli. Pass my military order and draw up a clause. Except for the Zhenhai battalion, the rest of the battalions will return to each department in turn. The battalion headquarters. Next, the town of Duli should not come to offend us in a short time. This period of time is a rare good time. The whole army must step up training and never slack off. I hope that before the end of the year, The whole army can go to a higher level. Besides, you are the chief steward, and you have to make preparations now. I estimate that we may have a big move a few years ago, and we must make preparations for an expedition."

"All the preparations for the expedition, all kinds of materials, including autumn and winter clothing, and consumable ordnance such as arrows, and even dry food and canned food, are well stocked. Food and fodder must be prepared now."

"Big move? Are we going to land in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and other places in the second half of the year to suppress bandits?" Zhang Hong asked in surprise.

"Bandit suppression, it is indeed a bandit suppression." Li Jing nodded, "But the bandits this time are not ordinary bandits, they will be the same bandits as the Pang Xun Rebellion a few years ago." Li Jing didn't say too much. I understand, but even this surprised Zhang Hong.

"Could someone be preparing to rebel, how did the general know this?"

"Natural disasters in successive years must be revolutions. And after each disaster, there will inevitably be major civil uprisings. This is an unavoidable problem in all dynasties. Last year, there was a severe drought in the entire Kanto region and locust plagues. This year, droughts began again. Except for a few There was a light rain, and the drought in the field was serious. Experienced old people said that the drought this year is more serious than last year, and there is a possibility that there will be no production in the north. And recently, the salt sellers on the Tianping Army have become very noisy, which is not what I expected. It is estimated that there will be great chaos before the year. At that time, the commander-in-chief will definitely send us to fight to quell the chaos."

Wang Xianzhi's rebellion is imminent, and even if Song Wei doesn't come to transfer him, he will take the initiative to find a way to quell the chaos.This is a great opportunity to practice soldiers and horses and strive for achievements, how can you miss it.However, he couldn't explain it too clearly to Zhang Hong, so he had to say that it was his own inference.However, these inferences are still very well-founded, and Zhang Hong nodded again and again after hearing this.

"Don't worry, the general. I'll start making arrangements as soon as I get back from my post. I don't know how many people the general is going to take to fight when the chaos is over."

"Just try to prepare as much as possible. I guess it will be difficult to calm down the chaos in a short time. As for how many people will go out at that time, my plan is to take one or two battalion leaders out each time, and then let everyone Battalions take turns."

Although Wang Xianzhi died within a few years of the incident, Huang Chao was the one who conquered Luoyang and Chang'an, and even established the state of Daqi, and became emperor for more than a year.The Huangchao Rebellion lasted more than ten years, how could it be so easy to put down.

Now that he has saved such a solid amount of money, food, materials, and capital, Li Jing doesn't have to worry about logistics at all, and can concentrate on training his troops.As long as soldiers are trained, the troubled times at the end of Tang Dynasty will actually be an opportunity for him to really emerge.Don't look at him now winning battles here in Shamen Town, but in the end, it's just a small fight in a corner.If he wanted to really stand out, he had to gain fame from the grass soldiers of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao.
