Chapter 402: Killing the Official (1)

"Stand down, all of you!" Li Jing thought about it, but he turned around and stroked his sword, the sword of any great general is not just an ornament, not only a weapon for killing, but also a symbol of power. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Wei Cheng glanced at Zhang Xiaochun, and then retreated, there were only Li Jing and Zhang Xiaochun in the big tent, the atmosphere was more solemn, even Zhang Xiaochun's originally calm face became unsightly, especially the moment he saw Li Jing stroking the sword.

"Does Lord Zhang know how much I have paid to pacify Tianhu?" Li Jing said to himself: "I was trusted by His Majesty, but this time in order to pacify Tianhu, seize Jingcheng Pass, block the trade road, occupy Taiyuan, Ma Tayangqu, the entire soldiers and horses on Hedong Road, this is almost a capital crime, originally thought of pacifying Tianhu, Tong Guan pacified Fangla, the world is also peaceful, even if it is deprived of the official title by His Majesty, you can continue to do business, but it is also after the pacification of Tianhu, the merits and demerits can be compensated, if the matter fails, not only will I Li Jing die, but the entire Li family will be killed." ”

Zhang Xiaochun's face changed drastically, he didn't know if Li Jing was sincere when he said this, but one thing was certain, that is, if Li Jing couldn't calm Tian Hu, it would be certain that the whole family would be killed.

"Perhaps, maybe Zijian has other difficulties!" Zhang Xiaochun swallowed and spat at the mouth, and explained in a low voice, but he felt how pale his explanation was, and the grain and grass were not transported in time, either because of the weather and road conditions, or because there was no grain in Wenshui and Taiyuan, but is it possible?

"Hehe, I'm afraid that Lord Zhang can't convince himself of these reasons!" Li Jing said with a smile.

"Xiaguan and Lord Hong have some friendship, it's better to let Xiaguan go to Wenshui." Zhang Xiaochun still pleaded.

"Li also thinks so, but Lord Zhang is not enough alone, and he has to add another person." Li Jing took the sword in his hand, turned to look at Zhang Xiaochun and said: "I'll also go, if Lord Hong really has a hard time, General Ben will naturally expose this matter, if not, I'm afraid General Ben will need to take action himself." ”

"General, everything you did before may be excusable, but you killed a civilian official?" Zhang Xiaochun trembled after hearing this, his face changed greatly, he looked at Li Jing, and couldn't help but persuade: "If you are all in the world of literati today, even if the general has a tiger in his heart, he must not be like this!" ”

"Hehe, let's go! Master Zhang, tens of thousands of brothers are waiting for the rice to be put in the pot! This time I'm going to dress up as your own soldier. The corners of Li Jing's mouth showed a hint of gloom. There were very few civil officials in the Song Dynasty who committed capital crimes, and even if they did, they died at the hands of the king, or died in power struggles, at the hands of colleagues, but not at the hands of military generals. Civil officials can kill civil officials, but if a military general kills a civilian official, it will cause the indignation of the people of the world, Li Jing himself has a big crime, if he kills Hong Zijian again at this time, it will definitely cause a crusade against the people of the world, no matter how many of his military exploits, it is useless.

"Let's go!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Jing's mouth, when a civil official commits a crime, he can be relieved of his crimes, there are many good civil officials in the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Xiaochun in front of him is okay, but most civil officials are useless things, Hong Zijian is like this. Zhang Xiaochun looked at Li Jing's menacing appearance, and suddenly his face was not good-looking, and in the end he could only turn into a long sigh, stomp his feet, and after following Li Jing, he left the camp and headed towards Wenshui.

In the county seat of Wenwen, Hong Zijian looked at the mountain-like grain and grass in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to the subordinates beside him: "This Li Jing still has a hand in fighting, but unfortunately, he can't be an official, he still thinks that this official will really help him guard the grain road?" It's ridiculous, a martial artist also wants to hold military power, it's a big joke. ”

After the subordinates listened, they barely showed a smile on their faces, but they didn't dare to speak, although Hong Zijian was a scholar, but he didn't have the benevolence of a scholar, but he was very strict with his subordinates, and he was even more contemptuous of the generals.

"Hehe, I cut off Li Jing's grain and grass, Li Jing will definitely withdraw his troops, Hedong Road can still maintain the current situation, the world is peaceful, isn't it good? Why did you make Li Jing, a vertical man, famous? That Li Jing was so bold that he dared to occupy Hedong Road, and let him taste the defeat today. After hearing this, the subordinate next to him immediately swallowed and foamed, but he didn't expect Hong Zijian to have this kind of thought, which made people laugh, and there was even a kind of cold, a kind of cold from head to toe. Although he is Hong Zijian's subordinate, he can't help but feel sad for Li Jing who is far away in Fenyang at this time.

"My lord, Lord Zhang is back." At this time, a soap-clothed official outside broke in, looking a little flustered.

"Lord Zhang? He's back, and that's for the best. Hong Zijian's face was overjoyed after hearing this, and he was about to go to greet him, when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "How many people did Governor Zhang bring?" ”

"It's just six soldiers." The words from his subordinates made Hong Zijian's face relaxed, and he looked around and said: "I'm still worried about Lord Zhang's safety, for fear that Li Jing's reckless man will harm Lord Zhang, and now I can come back, that's the best." Go, go and greet. ”

"No need, you Lord Hong has a very big shelf, where can I, Zhang Xiaochun, be a gift from Lord Hong." A cold snort came, and I saw Zhang Xiaochun walking in with a dusty face, and when he saw the mountains of grain and grass in front of him, he felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Hong, what's going on?" Don't you know that there is a shortage of food in the army? ”

"Of course the lower official knows, the lower official deliberately did so." Hong Zijian laughed and said, "Not only that, but the lower officials also know that the army's grain and grass are just enough for two days, and it can be withdrawn." ”

"Withdrawn? Why withdraw it? The general has already mobilized Tian Biao's soldiers and horses, and the entire Tian Hu soldiers and horses have been mobilized, which is just an opportunity to recover Hedong Road, why should the soldiers and horses be transferred back? Zhang Xiaochun looked at Hong Zijian very puzzled.

"My lord, if Tian Hu is pacified, who will own this credit, it will not be the adult, but Li Jing's concubine. My lord, think about it, since Li Jing entered Hedong Road, which one has not committed a capital crime, and he is looking forward to using Tian Hu's head to exonerate him? How so? Hong Zijian snorted coldly: "Li Jing, you should die." ”

"In order to deal with the general, you cut off the food and grass of the army and trap tens of thousands of soldiers in danger?" Zhang Xiaochun's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't help but look at his subordinates and friends.

"My lord, this is also for your own good, think about it, Li Jing has already committed a capital crime in everything he has done, but he has soldiers and horses in hand, and the court is helpless, if it can cause Li Jing's soldiers and horses to escape, we will capture it again and dedicate it to the court, and the court will definitely add officials to us." Hong Zijian said proudly: "Li Jing is a traitor, as it should be." ”

"Zijian, Zijian! You let me say what is good about you. This private matter is a private matter, and a public matter is a public matter. At present, the most important thing is to pacify Tianhu, and you do not distinguish between light and heavy, public and private. I can't help it. Zhang Xiaochun turned around and said, "General, please." ”
