--------------------------------------------------

Ziqing Marshal Song Wei finally left his post and returned to Chang'an. Cui Yunqing, the new military governor of the Taining Army, and Kang Chenghui, the new military governor of the Tianping Army, also left Qingzhou on the same day.Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the town [***], rushed to Qingzhou with three thousand Qingqi to see them off.

The departure of the three of them and the arrival of Li Jing became the most important news in Qingzhou City these days.

The people outside Qingzhou City who came to see them off almost broke through the city gate, and the scene was lively.Especially after the town [***] cavalry took over the city defenses of Qingzhou, many people rushed to see the town [***]'s demeanor.After countless people saw the aura of the town [***], they all rushed to join the town [***].

There are also many people who say that when Zhen [***] comes, they will not leave again. After all, Li Jing is the heir of the Pinglu Army, and Qingzhou is the city of Pinglu Army. Li Jing has no reason to come and leave, but surrenders. Give Qingzhou to Wang Jingwu.

Since Li Jing issued the immigration order, most of the rich households in Qingzhou have been forced to relocate. The once prosperous state city is now deserted, and there are not even a third of the people in the past.

In the ten-mile long pavilion at the Qingzhou City Gate, Li Jing sat under the heads of Song Wei, Cui Yunqing, and Kang Chenghui. The cup is poured on.

Song Wei and the three looked at this set of glass wine bottles, wine glasses, and the red wine in the glasses, and smiled: "No wonder countless big businessmen rushed to Dengzhou a few days ago, and some even spent a lot of money, spending 100 million yuan on a mirror. This thing is really Ingeniously crafted and beautiful."

Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing with satisfaction in his eyes, "Before you said that you would move half of the people in Ziqing Town to Liaodong, as a teacher, you thought it was inappropriate. You were worried that the people would move, but you couldn't provide for them. With skill, it is not a problem to support another million people. Song Shuai and Kang Shuai and I have been thinking for a long time these days. You divide Ziqing Town into two, which is prudent. If a tree is as beautiful as a forest, the wind will destroy it. It is good that you now know how to compromise and retreat, instead of blindly using force. You are still too young and promoted too fast, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Wang Jingwu can be the deputy envoy of Jiedu and the governor of Qingzhou. Tian Lingzi's meaning, in fact, is also the thinking of most officials in the court. You are too young, your position is too high, and you have too much power..."

Li Jing took a sip of the red wine, nodded with a smile, "Students understand this, take a step back, leave Ziqing Town to Wang Jingwu first, and I will go to recover Liaodong and Liaoxi first."

Song Wei's face was a little ashamed, but he was in a good mood. Now he is considered retired. Before he dies, he will be made a Duke of the state, and he will also be able to exterminate grass thieves. The Song family needn't worry about it in the future. "You guy, you've never been worry-free, you're just a little fox. If you take a step back, I will never think that you really backed away. This is just a trap." After saying these few words, Song Wei felt a little bit Tired, he paused and said: "We all know that Wang Jingwu is a traitor. He not only rebelled, but also joined forces with the grass thief. He has a bad relationship with Xue Chong and the Li family. Don't forget that Xue Chong had the opportunity to fight with the Li family. Li Xi defeated the Grass Bandit, it was Wang Jingwu who suddenly sent troops together with the Cao Bandit to defeat Xue Chong, and then defeated Li Xi, surrounded Li Xi in Yizhou, and almost killed him. Now Xue Chong and Li Xi are demoted, and one is appointed to Laizhou Inspector, a Sima of Ziqing Town. Instead of fighting with them, you directly divide the land and divide Ziqing Town into two halves. This is a very ruthless move. If you don’t take the initiative to provoke Wang Jingwu, they will definitely not dare to come If you mess with you, the rest will be a civil strife among the three."

Li Jing chuckled, Cui Yunqing and Kang Chenghui couldn't help laughing too.

Seeing Li Jing like this, both of them knew that Shuai Song had figured out what Li Jing was thinking.This student, it's always like this. His youth always makes people ignore his meticulous thinking and sophisticated behavior.

"If possible, don't touch Wang Jingwu within three years!" Song Wei suddenly said seriously.

Li Jing looked serious and nodded solemnly.Song Wei naturally didn't plead for Wang Jingwu, if he could, he would have killed Wang Jingwu.This sentence is just for Li Jing's sake.Now that the imperial court is gaining momentum, Li Jing needs to keep a low profile even more.There is a saying that the cunning rabbit dies and the hunting dog cooks. As long as Li Jing stays in Liaodong, the court will not care too much about him.But if Li Jing attacks Ziqing Town, many people in the court will definitely be dissatisfied and uneasy. At that time, Li Jing may be transferred to Chang'an or transferred to another place. In that case, Li Jing will fall into compliance or resistance. In the dilemma of purpose.

"The imperial court's five thousand imperial troops have arrived, and I plan to hand them over to you." Song Wei said again.

Li Jing knew about the 5000 forbidden troops, and these [-] forbidden troops were also cleared out during Tian Lingzi's purge last time.Tian Lingzi sent them out of the capital under the name of Song Wei's request to transfer [-] infantry and [-] armored cavalry to strengthen Song Wei's army.However, the [-] people did not go fast along the way, because the food and grass provided by the imperial court were always intermittent. As a result, all the supplementary imperial troops from other towns arrived in the town, but this imperial army was always on the road.They failed to keep up with Li Jing's battle against Songzhou against Wang Xianzhi, the battle against Caozhou in Six Towns against Huangchao, and even the battle against Songwei Yizhou against Huangchao.

After Wang Xianzhi died, Wang Jingwu surrendered, and Huang Chao fled without a trace, the imperial court ordered the towns to return to their own towns.At this time, the imperial army had just arrived in Songzhou, and they wanted to return to Chang'an, but after the memorial was sent to Chang'an, Tian Lingzi ordered them to continue to Qingzhou, which belonged to Ziqing Town.

Right now, this 5000-strong forbidden army has just arrived in Qingzhou and is stationed outside the city.

Tian Lingzi's plan was to hand over the forbidden army to the Li family. After all, although he wanted to use Wang Jingwu to check and balance Li Jing, he would not forget that Wang Jingwu was a traitor before.This is also the reason why he transferred Wang Jingwu's opponents Xue Chong and Li Xi to Ziqing Town. Tian Lingzi's ultimate goal is to let Li Xi take over Ziqing Town, not Wang Jingwu.

However, the [-] forbidden troops were sent to Ziqing Song Wei, and now that Li Jing was in Ziqing's post, Tian Lingzi could not directly hand over the army to the Li family, so the final order only belonged to Ziqing Town.

"The commander of these 5000 people is Zeng Yuanyu, who is a regular servant of Zuo Sanqi. He comes from a family of generals. He has strategy, courage, and excellent riding and shooting skills. He is a general. It is a pity that because he has always had a bad relationship with the eunuchs Mu. Therefore, he was finally transferred to the province under the door. He was in charge of admonishing mistakes and serving as a consultant. "Kang Chenghui is very clear about the generals of the forbidden army, and explained the identity of the general of the forbidden army to Li Jing in detail.

Li Jing nodded. In fact, he already knew the composition of the forbidden army and the identity of the chief general.

A regular servant on horseback, serving as the emperor's attendant.

Emperor Wei Wen combined Sanqi and Zhongchangshi as an official, such as Sanqi Changshi, who served as a scholar.If you enter, you will admonish your mistakes, prepare for the emperor's advisors, and if you leave, you will ride horses and scatter.Emperor Wu of Jin ordered two Sanqi regular servants outside the staff to take turns to be on duty together with the Sanqi regular attendants, and they were called Tongzhi Sanqi regular attendants.The Wei and Jin Sanqi often served and served [***] Ping Shangshu to play things.Most of them show their posts.Sanqi Changshiben was subordinate to the sect, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties belonged to the Jishu Province.Liang once set up Sanqi Province and Xuan Province.Sui belongs to Menxia Province.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used to be a regular servant of Sanqi as a Sanguan, but he was removed and restored as a serving officer.In the second year of Gaozong Xianqing, it was divided into left and right.There are two regular attendants on Zuo Sanqi, who are under the third rank, and belong to Menxia Province; two regular attendants on You Sanqi belong to Zhongshu Province.The duties are the same as admonishing and negligence, serving as advisers, and having no real power, but being a noble official, often as an additional official of the general and minister.

A dignified official rather than an important position.

When Li Jing knew that all the troops were returning to the town, but this forbidden army was required to continue to Ziqing Town, he had already sent Xiaoqisi to inquire about their details.Three thousand infantry and two thousand armored cavalry, the five thousand imperial guards are not those who join the army under fake names. Although the training may be insufficient, the number of troops is sufficient, and there are no rich children, otherwise, they would not have been sent to Zi Qingzhen is here.

As for Zeng Yuanyu, Li Jing couldn't help being surprised when he saw this name.Historically, Zeng Yuanyu seems to have been dispatched by the imperial court to send troops from all walks of life when grass bandits marched west from Yizhou to Luoyang, and Zeng Yuanyu left the town of Luoyang.Then he became Song Wei's deputy envoy to recruit, and after Song Wei became ill, Zeng Yuanyu presided over almost all the recruiting of thieves.

Zeng Yuanyu defeated Huang Chao several times, and in the fifth year of Qianfu, he defeated Wang Xianzhi's troops in Shenzhou, killing more than ten thousand troops, and replaced Song Wei as recruiter with this merit.Not long after taking over as recruiter, he defeated Wang Xianzhi in Huangmei and beheaded Wang Xianzhi.After this war, he succeeded Song Wei as the military governor of Pinglu and guarded Qingzhou.

Judging from the historical records, this person is indeed capable, and in history, Zeng Yuanyu finally turned himself over, not because of his ability, but because he finally fell into the door of Prime Minister Zheng Tian, ​​and became a great eunuch in disguise. Ximen Sigong's people were able to replace Song Wei with the support of Ximen Sigong and Zheng Tian.

But now, even Ximen Sigong was kicked out of Beijing, and he just returned to Chang'an with the victory of defeating the grass thief, and he can't take care of himself.

The 5000 men Li Jing had to decide, [-] well-equipped soldiers and horses, especially [-] armored cavalry.Although this armored cavalry is only armored light cavalry, it is a well-trained imperial army after all.What's more, there is such a great person as Zeng Yuanyu, how could Li Jing let it go.

"Thank you foster father, teacher, and Kang Shuai!" In fact, Kang Chenghui and Cui Yunqing could find a way to separate this army.Now leave it to Li Jing, this affection is very heavy.

Xue Chong and Li Xi have not been able to take office yet, Song Wei is about to leave, Wang Jingwu, the deputy envoy of Ziqing Jiedu and governor of Qingzhou, and his generals and [-] soldiers were all disarmed and locked up in the camp among.

Just now Li Jing's Zhen[***] has taken over the personal guards of Song Wei, Zhang Wanrong, Kang Chenghui, and Cui Yunqing, and continues to guard Wang Jingwu and others.

"Actually, you don't have to return all of Wang Jingwu's 5000 people." At the last farewell, Song Wei turned to Li Jing and said with a light smile, and then walked away. (To be continued.)
