Chapter 270 The Upheaval of Zhuo County
The next day, Li Chongjiu woke up early to meet Lu Ziqian.

Lu Ziqian was still enjoying a few stones from Bohai County in the courtyard.When he saw Li Chongjiu, he smiled and said, "It's really not easy for my nephew to get up early in the morning."

Li Chongjiu pretended to have an old blushing look, very ashamed.Lu Ziqian smiled, patted Li Chongjiu like an elder, and said, "This old man also came here when he was young. People don't want to waste youth. Come, let me show you some fake stones from Bohai County. "

Li Chongjiu followed Lu Ziqian and pretended to look at the fake stone for a while, and then resigned to Lu Ziqian, saying that he would return to Anle County and report the matter to Li Junshou.

Lu Ziqian narrowed his eyes and said: "That's right, that's exactly what it should be. I'll leave everything to my nephew. The four stunning maidservants will be given to you. Besides, I heard that you haven't married yet. If you do this If you succeed, I will tell you about a marriage among the gentry in Zhuojun."

Speaking of this, Lu Ziqian smiled and said: "My nephew married a beautiful woman at a young age, and a big man will eat five tripods in his life. You are not close now, but have already eaten five tripods. The old man will be very happy in the future." Good on you."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for cultivating it."
Li Chongjiu was hypocritically polite, and then the Lu family immediately sent a steward as an envoy to Anle County with Li Chongjiu.With the message from the Lu family, Li Chongjiu left Ji County smoothly all the way, and then was escorted by a carriage to Anle County.

As for Lin Dangfeng, he couldn't leave. He still had property in Zhuo County, so he was considered a hostage in disguise.

Walking with Li Chongjiu is a steward surnamed Dong of the Lu family. He is in his 30s and has a shrewd accident. He keeps getting involved with Li Chongjiu on the road.Li Chongjiu also chatted with him casually, and while talking, the carriage left the north gate of Ji County and left the city.

The avenue goes north all the way, passing through Changping, to Miyun County. The distance is very short, even though it is mostly a mountain road, but within a day, it has already encountered Xibu cavalry patrolling outside Anle County.

The Xibu cavalry consisted of fifty cavalry in a building. When they saw Li Chongjiu's chariot and more than 20 Lu cavalry in the escort chariot, they immediately surrounded the convoy with bows and arrows.After Li Chongjiu showed the golden arrow, the Xibu cavalry, who were originally tough and brave, were of course as docile as cats, and accompanied the convoy to protect them.

When the steward surnamed Dong met, he looked at Li Chongjiu with admiration immediately, and immediately became more confident about this mission.
After arriving in Daying, the steward surnamed Dong was placed down, and Li Chongjiu said to report the situation. From then on, steward Dong was placed under house arrest.

In the Lu Mansion, Lu Ziqian waited impatiently for news from Li Chongjiu.After Xue Shixiong returned from Hejian, he lost all his military power, and he himself was injured by an arrow in the battle with Dou Jiande and recuperated at home.

Lu Ziqian and several gentry officials who were in charge of the governor of Zhuojun County went to the Xue Mansion to meet Xue Shixiong in the name of visiting a sick person. General Li Jing took over the military power of Zhuo County, and Lu Ziqian also had several gentry, who assisted Li Jing in managing all matters in Zhuo County.

Everyone in Zhuo County knew that Li Jing was an official of the state. When Yang Xuangan rebelled, most of the generals relocated, but Li Jing was the only one who took care of himself. When the emperor saw Li Jing, he often called General Li.And Li Jing Qinglian is also very famous. According to history books, when he served as the general of You Yuwei, most of the Liaodong military resources were in his place, and the millet and silk mountains were accumulated.

But Li Jing was not a saint. As a warrior, he had always been domineering, and he didn't get along well with his colleagues in Zhuojun and the gentry.Back then when Luo Yi was his general, the relationship between the two became extremely tense. Luo Yi once wrote to the court, saying that Li Jing had the intention of rebelling in Zhuo County, but Yang Guang didn't listen.Later, Luo Yi rebelled against the imperial court and had a certain relationship with Li Jing.

However, although Li Jing now has the title of General of Youwuwei, he has no military power in his hands. In the first battle with Gao Kaidao, most of his troops were lost.Xue Shixiong took the opportunity to let go of his military power, and now he has regained his power.It can be seen from this that the veterans of the Lu family, although they secretly contacted Li Chongjiu, they also supported Li Jing as the general guard of Zhuo County. If Li Chongjiu refused, then Li Jing could also take charge of Zhuo County.

On the road from Lu County to Ji County, hundreds of cavalry were walking slowly.

Veteran Li Jing wore a cloak and held the reins of his horse with a dignified expression. One of the generals said, "Commander, Mr. Xue is heartbroken, and Guo Tongshou also died at the hands of Dou Jiande last year. If the situation in Zhuojun was not up to you Come to An Ding, no one else is qualified."

Li Jing's white beard trembled, and he said: "It doesn't matter if you are in charge of the overall situation, but in name, the situation in Zhuo County is chaotic. It was originally suppressed by Xue Shixiong's 3 troops, but there is still an undercurrent. Now the army has been wiped out. The soldiers in the county and the village stand on the top of the mountain, and there are many factions. I don't know what the situation in Zhuo County is like now, and whether there is someone who is secretly controlling all of this."

"Could it be the Lu family?"

"The Lu family?" Li Jing murmured.

"Marshal, there are people blocking the road ahead."

Li Jing was slightly surprised, and the general beside him said, "Is it a high-ranking thief? Or a low-ranking thief?"

"No, it's the county soldiers."

Li Jing was slightly relieved when he heard this, and the general beside him said with a smile: "It must be in Youzhou City. I know that the commander-in-chief is in charge of Zhuojun, so I sent troops to meet him."

Li Jing nodded slightly, and said: "Forget it, let's go up and see."

Immediately Li Jing drove forward, only to see the county soldiers on the opposite side blocking the road with guns and crossbows.

After Li Jing lit up the banner of his General Zuo Wuwei, all the soldiers on the other side put down their swords and guns.

"This group of county soldiers are really unruly. I will definitely train them well in the future." Li Jing said so, and several generals nodded. As the imperial army of the Sui Dynasty, they always looked down on the combat power of these county soldiers and rural soldiers.

At this time, a man who looked like a general on the opposite side rode his horse to the front and asked, "Dare to ask, but the front is General Li of the Right Martial Guard?"

Li Jing's subordinates stepped forward and shouted: "Understood, I haven't come up to greet you yet!"

There was a look of sincerity and fear on the other party's face, and he said with an apologetic smile: "I'm guilty of a humble job, I'm guilty of a humble job, may I ask who is General Li?"

Years of military service made Li Jing feel a little vigilant in his heart. He saw that although the county soldiers guarding the gate had put down their swords and guns, they were all strong crossbowmen but they couldn't leave their handles and fingers.

When Li Jing secretly grabbed his sword at his waist, his general didn't notice it, and said, "Didn't you see it? This is the commander-in-chief."

"very good!"

The other party looked at Li Jing, and the other party's subordinates got the hint, and immediately pulled the hanging knife together.

The next day, under the city of Ji County.

Luo Yi led three thousand Youzhou cavalry to the city.What Luo Yi hung up was the banner of his governor of Youzhou, and the head of Li Jing, the great general of Youwuwei, was hanging on a spear in front of the formation.
