In front of Tianmen Pass, in the camp of the recruiting army, all the towns gathered in the tent of the Chinese army. After receiving the order, there were now eight commanders in the tent of the Chinese army.

Zheng Congxuan, Duke of the State of Wei, was in the commanding position, and next to him was Zhang Tai, the general of the guard on the right of the angel.Then one left and one right are recruiting Deputy Envoy, Zhenwu Army Jiedu Envoy, Tongping Zhangshi Wei Guogong Yu Jing, recruiting Deputy Envoy, Prosecutor of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Jing, the deputy envoy of Qi Guogong Town.

Under these three envoys, on the left are Heyang Jiedu Envoy Li Zhuo, Yicheng Army Jiedu Envoy Li Zhong, and Zhongwu Jiedu Envoy Cui Anqian.Behind them sat Gao Wenshun, governor of Lanzhou, and Gao Wenji, governor of Xinzhou.General Yunmo Fu Wenda and Fu Wentong.

On the right is Helianduo of the Tuyuhun Helian Tribe who was newly promoted to be the commander-in-chief of the Tiande Army, and Tuoba Sigong, a member of the Dangxiang tribe, who was newly promoted to be the Jiedu envoy of Xia Suiyin.Sitting behind the two are the governor of Sage, the governor of Weizhou Mi Haiwan, the governor of Anqing, the governor of Daizhou Jingcun, the governor of Yinshan, the governor of Yunzhou Qi Bizhang, and the governor of Fengzhou Bai Yicheng.

The former Zhaoyi Festival made Li Jun and the [-] Zhaoyi army who entered Hedong were wiped out. At this time, no one in Zhaoyi Town was rewarded for meritorious deeds.

When Li Jing arrived in Taiyuan this time, he did not bring many soldiers and horses. In addition to the 5000 infantry of Fu Wenda, Fu Wentong, Gao Wenji, and Gao Wenshun, there were also 1 cavalry from the Sage, Anqing, and Qibi tribes. Jing himself only brought Zhou Dewei and Gao Shunli to lead [-] cavalry southward to Taiyuan. The rest of the soldiers and horses were [-] led by Wang Zhong to garrison Taixi Pass, and the other [-] cavalry led by Lin Wu to garrison Yunzhou.

But even so, at this time, Li Jing's soldiers and horses came to the tent, which reached 4000 troops, [-] cavalry, and [-] infantry. Among the soldiers and horses of the generals, Li Jing's army was the most powerful.

Yu Yu's Tiande army and Helian troops, plus a part of the Zhenwu army who surrendered, also reached 2 horses, [-] horses, and [-] infantry.

On the contrary, Zheng Congxuan had the fewest soldiers and horses. He originally had 3 soldiers and horses, but Zhaoyi Town's 9000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, and Su Hongzhen's 1000 captive troops were also completely lost. Therefore, Zheng Congxuan's men now only have [-] troops. , plus the [-] party cavalry of the Tuoba tribe, there are only [-] horses, of which there are only [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

Excluding the Zhaoyi army that was wiped out, the eight towns plus Sage, Anqing, and Qibi, and eleven troops, have a total of [-] troops. This is not counting Li Jing's stay in Yunzhou and Weizhou The [-] soldiers and horses in the army, all added together, recruited a full [-] troops.

After Yu Jian arrived in Hedong, he first went to Taiyuan to meet Zheng Congxuan. At this time, the two had just arrived from Taiyuan.

Li Jing was the first to step forward and cup his fists to greet the commander-in-chief, Zheng Congxuan: "Sir, Li Jing pays respects to the commander-in-chief!"

As soon as he saw Li Jing, Zheng Congxuan couldn't help admiring him a little. Li Jing was a good-looking talent with a good appearance, the kind that made people satisfied at first glance.In particular, Li Jing made great contributions at the moment, but he did not show arrogance and domineering. When he saw him, he immediately paid homage, which made him very satisfied.He couldn't help but stroked the five long beards under his jaw and smiled slightly, his eyes full of appreciation.

Li Jing actively responded to the imperial court's call to send troops this time, and had been wandering around Youzhou before, which made him a little worried that Li Jing didn't want to come.Unexpectedly, Li Jing rushed all the way in the end, but once he arrived in Jinzhong, his military achievements were not as good as that of several towns of soldiers and horses combined.Not only regained the four states of Xinyun in the Wei Dynasty, but more importantly, they instigated the rebellion of two of the three Shatuo tribes, and instigated the rebellion of the Gao family brothers and the Fu family brothers. More than 1 people were recruited at once. , and even blocked the retreat of the Shatuo rebels to the grassland.And not only that, Li Jing also successfully planned the rebellion of the Zhenwu Army and the dispatch of troops by the party members, which wiped out Li Guochang's [-] elite Shatuo cavalry at once.Now, he has also brought three thousand cavalry from the Qibi tribe, which can be said to be a great contribution.Moreover, he also heard from Yu Yu that it was Li Jing's proposal to attack Shanyu's Duhu mansion.

And as soon as he arrived at Tianmen Pass, he heard that the imperial court issued a decree, adding Li Jing as the Duke of Qi, giving the Zhendong Army the name of Zhendong, and rewarding Li Jing with a lot of money and silk.Li Jing took out all the money and silk as a reward to the soldiers below, and even paid out of his own pocket to give a generous reward to all the soldiers and horses in the towns of Tianmenguan.This made him very happy, and rewarding the generals with soldiers and horses was originally his duty as a recruitment envoy, but in the past two or three years, there have been four or five mutinies in Hedong Town, and the mansion has no money or silk.Now Li Jing helped him pay the money, which made him very happy.

At this time, in the eyes of Zheng Congyu, Li Jing is not just a strong general who can fight, but has grown into a qualified and excellent commander who can stand alone.

"Ji Yu, please, this battle against rebellion is for you first. I am very happy to meet a junior like you."

Li Jing is also very satisfied with Zheng Congxuan. In Li Jing's view, Zheng Congxuan is a minister who is truly loyal to the Tang Dynasty. It is a pity that he was born at an untimely time in this precarious late Tang Dynasty.Zheng Congxuan is like a firefighter, as can be seen from his career history.

"The commander-in-chief has won the award, and Jing dare not take credit for it. This achievement is entirely because the commander-in-chief seized the power during the trial and successfully dragged Li Ke's main force under the city of Taiyuan. This time, His Majesty Long En granted me the title of Duke of Qi. It's really a little scary to confer the position of Commander-in-Chief of a town. In the future, I hope the commander-in-chief can give me more advice."

Zheng Congxun smiled, and gestured to Yu Jian who was beside him: "It must be a long time since you master and apprentice have seen each other, come and pay your respects to your teacher."

Li Jing walked in front of Yu Jian, knelt down on both knees, and solemnly saluted: "Student Li Jing kowtows to the teacher!"

Yu Jian has been surprised since seeing Li Jing in the account just now.

It's only been about a year since we parted with Li Jing, and Li Jing's changes were too great when we saw each other again.It's not a change in official position, but a complete change from the inside out.When Li Jing was first accepted as an apprentice, Li Jing's body was still a little thin and weak, and his whole person was a little green.But now, Li Jing's body is much stronger. Although he doesn't look like a hunchback, he is still physically strong.In particular, his height seems to have grown a lot taller than then, the whole person is about six feet two, standing there is a head taller than him.Especially those eyes, which revealed confidence, sharp yet calm.

Li Jing gave him the feeling of self-confidence, calmness, and grandeur. He didn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all, but a calm middle-aged man who had experienced half a lifetime of experience.

Three days away from Shi, when you look at it with admiration.

In a blink of an eye, Li Jing's achievements were not weaker than him, and his official position was even equal to him. The 21-year-old Kaizhen Jieshuai is not a descendant of a famous family, but he has already become the Duke of the state. Yu Yu sighed with emotion, what more can a teacher ask for if he has such a disciple.

Yu Yu was very pleased to have such a good apprentice.

He helped Li Jing up, reached out and patted Li Jing's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you have gone further than the teacher expected. No wonder Brother Cui told me in the letter that he wanted to take you to Qingzhou. No, I thought you had a high opinion of yourself at the beginning, but now it seems that you have already made up your mind."

Li Jing hadn't seen Yu Yu for more than a year. See you now. Although Yu Yu felt a little older, his energy was not comparable to when he was in Dengzhou.When he was in Dengzhou, the Yu family had just suffered a catastrophe, and the whole family was demoted. He was demoted from Ziqing Jieshuai to Dengzhou Sima. One can imagine his mood.But now, not only did he make a comeback in the post of Tiande Army, but also relied on his achievements in suppressing the rebellion this time, he also joined the Zhenwu Army Jiedu Envoy in one fell swoop, added Tongping Zhang Shi, made Wei Guogong, and became envoy.

"The kindness of the teacher and the professor, Li Jing will always remember it in his heart, and he will never forget it."

Yu Jian nodded, with a gratified smile on his face. "You are both my Yu Yu's disciple and Brother Cui's disciple. Both of us are dedicated to the court. I am very happy to see you so promising now. I hope you will be loyal to the emperor, serve the court, be loyal to the country, and become my grand lord." Minister of Zhongxing in Tang Dynasty."

Li Jing nodded silently, although he didn't think Tang Chao could still be rejuvenated, but he didn't want to make Yu Yu sad and disappointed.

At this moment, Zheng Congxuan smiled and said, "Ji Yu is just here too, why don't I introduce you to each other."

Zheng Congxuan took Li Jing's hand directly and introduced everyone in the tent for him.Except for the Jieshuai in each town and a few Hu tribes, Li Jing really didn't know the others.After introducing the generals of the eight towns and three departments, Zheng Congxuan introduced to Li Jing the officials of the landlord's Hedong Jiedushi Yamen. He basically invited all the staff of Zheng Congxuan's commander's mansion from Chang'an.The reason is because of successive mutinies in Hedong, arrogant soldiers and powerful generals, domineering and difficult to calm down.

"Former Chang'an Ling Wang Tiao was the deputy envoy, Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, and Liu Chonggui, compiled by the History Museum, were the judges of Jiedu, Wailang, a former member of the Department of Military Affairs, and Zhao Chong, compiled by the History Museum, were the judges for observation, and Liu Chonglu, an advance scholar, served as a pusher. Li Wo is in charge of the secretary, and Cui Ze, the former captain of Chang'an, is the envoy." Looking at the Hedong staff who followed Zheng Congyu from Chang'an, Li Jing couldn't help being a little envious, these people are all talents.Only the prime minister, Zheng Congxuan, can have such a big face and transfer so many Beijing officials to be the staff of the commander-in-chief.No wonder, after he entered Hedong, he kept hearing that Zheng Congxuan's Taiyuan shogunate was a "little imperial court".The prosperity of the opening is indeed the best for a while.

Afterwards, the town commanders got to know each other again.Zhu Zhen Fanshuai was very polite towards Li Jing, the recruiting deputy envoy.Li Jing was favored by the emperor, and the two marshals Yu Juan and Zheng Congxuan valued him below. He had nearly [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, and Li Jing was generous and forthright. Naturally, anyone would like to get acquainted. (To be continued.)
