Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 983

Wang Tong's tone of voice and expression conveyed a strong sense of self-confidence, which was cultivated from successes and victories from childhood to adulthood.

Those who talked to him were also unconsciously infected by his confidence. Of course, the reason why they were infected was because of Wang Tong's dazzling and kind deeds as a guarantee, and everyone became very confident.

After the worried Wang Xijue had a deep talk with Wang Tong, his worry disappeared a lot, and he continued to wander around the army again, asking questions.

The Volunteer Cavalry is quite familiar with the terrain and local conditions and customs, and the leader of the bandits, Yin Zi, immediately boosted their enthusiasm. What Wang Tong did not expect was that there were many brave and ruthless young people from various villages following them. Well, the requirements for recruiting volunteer cavalry are too high for the army, so they simply follow the volunteer cavalry and become servants or something.

This large army has no authority to govern, but Shi Qi arranged for a few people to mix in. According to the report, there will be seven or eight young and strong men from the village following a volunteer cavalry, all of whom are armed with horses and weapons. Everyone said It is not right to be a master-servant relationship, nor is it a relationship between superiors and subordinates. It seems that it is more appropriate to say that it is a large or small shareholder who is doing business as a partnership.

However, Wang Xijue sighed, saying that he did not expect Liao Town to be so rich, and there were such stocks of horses and weapons in the village.

Wang Tong scattered these volunteer cavalry as far as possible, while a small part of the cavalry scouts in the headquarters were mixed with the volunteer cavalry, and most of them were with the brigade.

But contrary to expectations, no Jurchen or Mongolian troops were found in the west and south of Liaoyang, indicating that the situation is still under control.

After seeing Wang Xijue's attitude, Chen Ju, the supervisor, also understood what he should do. He actually did one thing. He meticulously completed the word "supervisor" of the supervisor.

He has to go through every distribution and allocation of food and supplies in the army. It is not to embarrass him, but to worry that there will be corruption and meddling in the army. But he also felt that according to the current consumption of the army, it would not be able to support too much time.

However, after staring at it for 20 days, Chen Ju discovered that the operation of Wang Tong's military supply can be described as clean and honest. It's not that there is no loss, and it's not that there is no greed for petty gains, but there are no serious deductions, and everything is very efficient. Even the most diligent errand yamen in the inner court can't do it. Such a situation made the supervisor Chen Ju admire it very much, but he felt a little scary when he saw a group of people who were accustomed to doing errands.

***************
Li Rumei, the general of Liao Town, led the troops to meet Li Rumei, and his deputy was Zha Dashou. The two led [-] soldiers and horses to lead the way. Although their attitudes were respectful, they were not affectionate.

Wang Tong had already expected this kind of indifference, and Jin Yiwei also sent news, saying that there were many people who gnashed their teeth when talking about Wang Tong in Liao Town.

Of course, no one will mention why Liao Zhen indulged his enemies and why he was defeated by an enemy weaker than him.

Naturally, Wang Tong didn't care about such an attitude. Wang Xijue and Chen Ju were polite to Wang Tong, but they were really arrogant towards the rest of the Liao Town generals.

"My commander-in-chief knows that there is a decree from the Holy Spirit, and he should go out of the city to meet him, but the commander-in-chief is old and sick, and I hope you adults will forgive me. Please announce the decree at the Zongbing Yamen."

In private, Zha Dashou still talked about it with Wang Tong and the three of them. In order to show respect, the local border generals always went out of the city to meet the order, but Li Chengliang obviously couldn't do it.

Chen Ju didn't care about it. According to the regulations of the imperial court, the decree should have been announced in the official office, but he had to wait for Wang Tong's intention. If Wang Tong wanted to take advantage of this to get angry, he would be happy for this favor.

Wang Tong didn't pay attention to this matter. The camp that Li Rubai and Li Rumei arranged for the Eastern Expeditionary Army was actually ten miles away from Liaoyang City. There are fifty thousand soldiers and horses, or even more.

After asking, I found out that after retreating to Liaoyang, Li Chengliang began to mobilize troops from all around to defend. Most of the troops on the northern line of Liaoyang were mobilized back. When the enemy army began to besiege Shenyang, Li Chengliang fell ill, and Li Rubai panicked , Even the surrounding Tuanlian Xiangyong was pulled up.

After entering the city and settling down in the mansion of the Li family, the guards brought Wang Tong the latest report from the guards in the city. The soldiers of the reinforcements outside the city often clashed with each other. It was not uncommon to see bloody fights on the streets, and the people from small families were all leaving to the surroundings.

It turned out that if such a thing happened, the Zongbing Yamen would have sent troops to suppress it long ago. Now people are panicking and no one pays attention to it. As a result, the chaos inside and outside the city is getting more and more chaotic.

There is really too much news to report, Wang Tong simply asked the guards to call in the person who reported it, he is the commander of Jin Yiwei, with this level of status, even if it looks awkward, no one can pick the reason Come.

After talking for a while, the people in the official office said that the house and the incense table had been arranged, and invited several adults to go over and announce the decree.

Wang Tong has heard many people describe Li Chengliang's appearance. Although he has not seen it in person, Wang Tong can still imagine that this is a burly and powerful general. But after seeing Li Chengliang who was helped out by two servants, Wang Tong was still stunned, a haggard old man, that's all.

Tan Jiang's body is also supporting himself, but Tan Jiang has a spirit to support him. The old man in front of him has nothing. Li Chengliang is so haggard, Wang Tong really didn't expect it.

Li Chengliang has a high status, and when he met Wang Tong and the others, it was just an ordinary meeting. Li Chengliang said:
"Li was born as a general, but when he was old, he committed such a big mistake. His Majesty has never punished and punished such crimes, but God will not let go of such crimes. When Li returned to Liaoyang, he was ill. The doctor told him, It’s because of this disease that I’m afraid of the cold and the wind, so I haven’t greeted you adults, and I hope to make amends.”

Wang Tong lowered his head slightly. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, the body and mind are still so impervious. It's just that if such thoughts are more used in military affairs, how can they be in such a situation.

The following procedure was nothing more than Chen Ju proclaiming the decree, such a big defeat, the Li family father and son would be reprimanded, Li Chengliang was demoted, and the Li family father and son were fined for three years.

But this punishment didn't have any real impact on the generals of the Li family, but everyone knew that the Li family's status as a prince in Liao Town would no longer exist.

The other part of the decree said that Liao Town must cooperate with the army of the Eastern Expedition. The generals of Liao Town are under the command of Wang Xijue, Wang Tong and Chen Ju. , guarding the grain roads and retreat routes is also to avoid the ambiguous relationship between Wang Xijue, the governor of the four towns, and him.

After the decree was read out, a group of generals from the Liao Township headed by Li Chengliang met Wang Xijue, Wang Tong, and Chen Ju according to the rules, which was regarded as a clear affiliation.

Among them, Wang Xijue had the highest position. When he first arrived here, he had to give orders. The Li family and his sons and the generals of Liao Town arranged them according to their seats. They also arranged a seat for Li Chengliang, which was regarded as respect.

When everyone was waiting for Wang Xijue to speak, they saw Wang Xijue nodding at Wang Tong, and said with a smile:

"It's better for Mr. Wang to talk, the old man is the same as on the march, just sitting there and listening to it!"

The generals of the next Liao town did not speak, but they exchanged glances with each other, and they were quite surprised and astonished. The supervisor sent by the imperial court, and the dignified cabinet minister, all want Wang Tong to be the master?
Sitting there, Li Chengliang shook his head slightly at everyone, signaling them to be quiet, but Li Chengliang sighed in his heart, Wang Tong was powerful, he knew this, but every time he found that Wang Tong's power was far beyond his estimation , If I knew this, why did I do some small actions that caused so many troubles.

Now that Wang Tong has already come to the door, the power of the Li family and the territory of Liao Town can be abandoned, and it is a blessing that the whole family can be protected from any disaster.

"The enemy is at hand, don't say anything superfluous, I will make a few arrangements, all of which are related to you, please handle it quickly, without any mistakes!"

Wang Tong's business-like tone made everyone very uncomfortable. Several people stared and wanted to talk, but Li Chengliang's stern eyes swept over him first. Although Li Chengliang was weak, he was obviously still strong in Liao Town. It was quiet for a while.

"Soldiers and horse regiments are training in various places outside the city. Tomorrow, arrange to return to the original place to garrison."

All the people below stared wide-eyed, and Wang Tong continued:
"The warehouses in various parts of the city will be handed over on the same day, and will be taken over by my commander's military supplies. The Jizhen Army and Liaozhen soldiers will be stationed together. The distribution will be made by the military supplies assigned by my commander!"

After saying this sentence, there was already some commotion below, and Wang Tong continued to speak:
"From today onwards, the Commander-in-Chief will send military law teams to the streets. During wartime, there is no mercy. Officers and soldiers who are not in the camp are considered deserters, and those who commit crimes are regarded as enemies. Anyone who is caught, no matter who is his subordinate or servant of any family, will be killed without mercy. "

After talking about these three arrangements, no matter how much Li Chengliang stared, he couldn't hold back the actions of the Li family's nephews and trusted generals. Someone had already scolded in a low voice. Wang Tong glanced around and said:
"This commander once led an army of [-] troops. I answered the Northern Expedition. He beheaded more than [-] people. He returned after destroying the country. The military situation is urgent. The paperwork will be issued later. Everyone, go and handle it first!"

These words did not match at all, the commotion below was getting bigger and bigger, someone was about to come out, Li Chengliang lowered his head there but did not stop him, but all of a sudden, he slowly quieted down, and everyone's faces showed awe color.

Wang Tong led an army of [-] to conquer, beheaded [-], and returned after destroying the country. Liaozhen's [-] marched eastward and was defeated.
