Chapter 341: Killing Thieves with Thieves

"Liangshan is defeated. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Ji also opened his eyes wide, and finally laughed, glanced at everyone, and said: "Li Jing actually destroyed Liangshan? Zhongqing, Li Jing destroyed Liangshan. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." The crowd had to shout again.

"Alright, alright, get up!" Zhao Ji laughed and waved his hand, at this time, there were several forbidden army colonels in the distance, the first one was dressed in black armor, holding a book in his hand, covered with a red cloth, and after Liang Shicheng saw it, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Ye Cang, a subordinate of the last general Zhenwei Army, was ordered by the command to submit the report documents." When the head of the elementary school saw Zhao Ji in the distance, he hurriedly bowed down.

Liang Shicheng took the report document and handed it to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji was even more happy, waved his hand with a smile, Liang Shicheng opened it and said: "On December 19 in the winter of the eighth year of Zhenghe, the minister Li Jing led an army of 100,000... This battle relied on His Majesty's Shengming foresight, and the soldiers worked hard to destroy the Liangshan bandits, and beheaded the thief chiefs Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, and Wu Yong, and dedicated them to His Majesty! Chen Li Jing knelt and played! ”

"Well, yes, reward the good fortune, good rest." Zhao Ji was happy in his heart and said to Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng's old face smiled like a flower, and let the forbidden army behind him take Ye Cang down to rest, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Li Jing to be so young and so old and spicy in using soldiers, and marching on a winter night is a taboo for soldiers. ”

"This is all the credit of my father, if there is no father's knowledge, Li Jingyan can have such an achievement." The ice and snow on Zhao Huan's face also relaxed, and his eyes showed excitement, he didn't expect that he, a nominal subordinate, would actually give himself such a great feat, exterminate the Liangshan bandits, and finally solve the difficulty of Gyeonggi.

"It's still Li Jing who is self-motivated, otherwise, no matter how blue-eyed I am, if he can't support Adou, I can't do anything." Zhao Ji nodded again and again, and said to Cai Jing: "Since Li Jing has such a meritorious service, exterminated Liangshan, and killed Song Jiang and other thieves, how does the Taishi think it will be rewarded?" ”

"Jin Jeju regimental training envoy, for the general of the rangers, canonized as a cavalry captain." Cai Jing thought for a while and said. The Jeju regimental training envoy is a subordinate five-rank official, the ranger general is a military officer, and the cavalry commander is a lord.

Zhao Ji nodded, the original Jeju regimental training envoy was discussed with Cai Jing, Li Jing is less than twenty, that is, the Yizhou regimental training envoy, which is already very good, if the official position is higher, I am afraid it will not be conducive to future development. He was about to agree, but Wang Hao beside him spoke.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing is a young hero, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious service, but Li Jing's soldiers and horses, who are more worried about the minister, now have 100,000 people in the Zhenwei army, plus tens of thousands of people who have captured Liangshan thieves, adding up to more than 100,000 people, if they are not properly placed, how can they be obtained." Wang Hao said in a low voice: "These thieves themselves are bold and reckless, and once they are placed in place, I am afraid that there will be a big mess." ”

"Lord Wang said that he laughed, with Li Jing's 100,000 army suppressing it, how can something happen?" Cai Jing said disdainfully: "Now that the entire Shandong defense is empty, it just needs these people to defend it, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"Taishi, Li Jing commanded an army of more than 100,000 at a young age, and he also collected the Liangshan bandits, I'm afraid it's not a good thing to have too many soldiers and horses under his command! Those Liangshan thieves are untamable, although Li Jing is loyal to the king, what if? Wang Hao explained: "Although Li Jing can't, it doesn't mean that those Liangshan thieves can't, don't forget the matter of Taizu back then." "The matter of Taizu that Wang Hao said is worth the Chen Qiaoyi mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe and his body, creating a foundation of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years. In fact, since then, the Song Dynasty has been most concerned about whether those soldiers will also come to a Chen Qiaoyi mutiny and put the dragon robe on which general, so most of the time they are civil ministers leading the troops, thinking that civil officials are full of poetry and books, and their hearts are loyal, and this kind of thing will never happen.

"Shut up." Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, he glared at Wang Hao, and said: "If Li Jing is ambitious, he can naturally raise his own respect, and he doesn't have to risk attacking Liangshan on a snowy night to serve me." ”

After hearing this, Wang Hao's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to speak, so he quickly stepped aside. Instead, Zhao Kai stepped forward and said: "Father, it is a bit dangerous for the hundreds of thousands of troops to be in the hands of one person, and for the sake of General Li, it is also necessary to separate the hundreds of thousands of troops." ”

"It's naturally good for Your Majesty to take care of Li Jing, but Liangshan thieves are uncertain, so it's better to be careful." Yang Jian said.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, the Liangshan thieves are now captured by Li Jing, and they are afraid of Li Jing, if there is a different person, then maybe it will be said. Gao Taiwei led an army of 100,000 to attack Liangshan, not only did he not destroy Liangshan, but he was even shot and killed. Cai Jing couldn't help but speak.

"Father, what the Taishi said is very true, Li Jing's training is extremely good, if these hundreds of thousands of troops are in the hands of Li Jing, soon the imperial court will be able to have an additional strong army." Zhao Huan hurriedly said. He wished that Li Jing had as many soldiers and horses as possible. At least he still has a little love for Li Jing, these hundreds of thousands of troops fall into the hands of Li Jing, at least Li Jing will not watch the throne fall into the hands of others.

"Stand down, all of you! Master, take a walk with me. Zhao Ji thought about it, let everyone retreat, and he just led Cai Jing and slowly walked into the distance. Everyone had no choice but to look at each other and retreat.

"Taishi, Li Jing has more than 100,000 heavy troops in his hands, and he is stationed in Shandong?" Zhao Ji didn't continue. He believed in Li Jing, but he didn't believe that Li Jing's soldiers and horses, more than 100,000 horses, and most of them were tigers and wolves.

"Your Majesty, now that Jiangnan La, Hebei Tianhu, and Huaixi Wang Qing are in chaos, if Your Majesty is worried about this matter, why not order Li Jing to lead a large army to exterminate these three places? After the three-way rebels are exterminated, how many of these hundreds of thousands of horses are left? Cai Jing smiled: "This is called killing thieves with thieves." In the end, after Li Jing's meritorious service, the high-ranking officials will reward him, then Li Jing is a businessman, he loves money and beauty, and His Majesty is worried that he has nothing to reward him. ”

Zhao Ji nodded after hearing this, but he didn't speak, although Cai Jing's plan was good, but the final decision was still on Zhao Ji, and he had to think about it seriously.

Cai Jing saw it in his eyes, thought about it and said: "The hundreds of thousands of troops must not stop in Shandong, let alone be disrupted and dispersed, these thieves are undecided, and they are afraid of causing trouble in the local area, and there is Li Jing to suppress it at the moment, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid, please ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision." ”

"I know, the master is thoughtful, let's wait until I see Li Jing!" Zhao Ji thought for a while and said. (To be continued.) )
