Chapter 187: Liwei
It is precisely because of this that in the future, An Lushan opposed the Tang Dynasty, and overnight, the world's ten major festivals and nine major festivals recruited troops overnight, and they entered the king of Beijing and Qin, Kuang Fu the world, the battle of Fangzhou, and the nine major festivals, nearly one million Tang troops under the leadership of Guo Ziyi, fought hard for several days and nights, shed thousands of miles, and finally restored the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the eight-year Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, but the people of the world, the millions of Tang troops never turned their backs on the Li Tang royal family, which was impossible in any dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty did it, which is indeed amazing.
Looking at his age, it is enough to see that he has extraordinary qualifications, and coupled with his previous conversation, it can be seen that he does have extraordinary military talents, but despite this, he is still just a brigade commander, I am afraid that it has something to do with his character.
Although Li Qing is currently in power for the first time, he is still fledgling, and there are very few people around him who can be trusted, especially in the army, it is precisely because of this that Li Qing continues to cultivate some of his cronies in the army to help him control the army.
Li Qing, who is familiar with history, clearly knows that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was not uncommon for border generals to kill Jiedu envoys, and the most fundamental reason for this was that those Jiedu envoys could not control the army that should have obeyed their orders, and they couldn't deter their generals, which led to the tragedy.
After clarifying the purpose, Li Qing, whose eyes were bloodshot, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with admiration, and said: "This attack on Longhu Village, with you as the vanguard, after the matter is completed, this king will ensure that you will sit in Chengdu 2,500 generals of the city defense army!" ”
Happiness came too fast, around the middle-aged man had already passed the age of not being confused, but he was still sluggish for half a quarter of an hour, and quickly knelt down on one knee towards Li Qing, clasped his fists with both hands and said loyally: "Your Highness, rest assured, even if this Dragon and Tiger Village is an iron wall, your subordinates will bite out a crack with their teeth, Your Highness trusts your subordinates so much, and your subordinates will definitely repay them with death!" ”
In fact, not only the middle-aged man who was the party was surprised, even Liu Ran behind Li Qing and several brigade commanders of Jiannan Province were very surprised, to be honest, the commander of the city defense army was a real authority, and the people present, including Liu Ran, were all expecting. But no one thought that the dignified position of the commander of the city defense army would be cheapened in vain.
Although he was reluctant in his heart, everyone present did not have the slightest objection, after all, it was Li Qing's personal order, although Li Qing trusted everyone, but so far, no one has dared to challenge this young Shouwang.
Looking at the brigade commander in front of him, Li Qing said in a low voice: "Loyalty is not by words, what this king wants is for Princess Shou to return unharmed!" Then, with a wave of his hand, he signaled that the person in front of him could stand down.
Turning his head to look at Liu Ran behind him, Li Qing asked in a low voice: "Now, has the rear army caught up?" ”
Liu Ran understood that what Li Qing asked was naturally the seven hundred people who were not arranged behind the horses, perhaps because he understood Li Qing's intentions just now, Liu Ran at this moment became much more restrained in front of Li Qing, took a step back, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, all the horses have arrived!" "Ready to go.
Cheering up, he pulled out the Tang knife he was wearing, and the blade pointed straight ahead, Li Qing shouted to the whole army: "The whole army sends Longquan Town!" ”

Three hours later, after noon, the small town of Longquan ushered in a group of huge teams, which were very uncommon for the people of Longquan, who were accustomed to a peaceful life.
After all, although Jiannan Road is the southwest border of the Tang Dynasty, Longquan Town is in the hinterland of Jiannan Road, and the border of Jiannan Road is guarded by tens of thousands of Tang troops, plus there is the support of the Tang Empire behind it, so it is difficult for the people of Longquan Town to suffer from the war.
Fortunately, Longquan Town recognized these people and recognized the large and stubborn team in front of them as their own country's army, and although they panicked in their hearts, they did not take any drastic actions and cause unnecessary chaos.
But those who have a heart can also find that just when the team led by Li Qing just appeared in everyone's field of vision, there were one or two sturdy middle-aged men with strange expressions and obvious different behaviors among the people of Longquan, who quietly dispersed towards the edge of the crowd, and then sneaked towards the mountain.
At this time, a green-shirted warrior behind Li Qing had already walked in front of him and whispered in Li Qing's ear: "Your Highness, rest assured, the head of the guard has already arranged everything, and behind these eyeliners, there are already our people closely following, I believe that in just two hours, we will definitely be able to explore the deployment of Longhu Village clearly!" ”
Originally, according to the agreement, the Green Moth Guard was responsible for guarding Li Qing's safety, and the Xuanwu Secret Guard was responsible for assassination and intelligence, but after all, this was the first time Li Qing led the army and was out alone, so the Green Moth Guard guarded outside his side, for the sake of safety, Huang Yun also specially arranged for some Xuanwu Secret Guard members to lurk in the shadows, and this person was one of the Xuanwu Secret Guard members who were arranged by Li Qing's side.
After all, the Xuanwu Secret Guard was already a professional in assassination, and since they were engaged in this work, they naturally did a better job of counter-assassination!
Nodding his head to indicate that he was already clear, and then the green-shirted warriors retreated very familiarly, as members of the Xuanwu Secret Guard, they naturally know how to read words and looks, this is their necessary skill, if not, how can they successfully lurk, so that they can kill thousands of miles away with one blow?
Soon, seeing that the army was about to arrive in Longquan Town, in front of Li Qing, the leaders of the various armies had already gathered, Mu Fan of the Jianmen Army was not there, there was a middle-aged man under Mu Fan who was about thirty years old and had a steady face, and the defenders of the Yamen were led by Liu Ran, there is no doubt about this, after all, Liu Ran is now the guard general of the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, and it is natural to lead these soldiers.
As for the city defense army, it was previously appointed by Li Qing as the brigade commander of the city defense army, and Li Qing also learned the name of this brigade commander from Liu Ran's mouth, Shi Hao, who has the same surname as the bandit leader of Longhu Village, but one is an army and the other is a bandit, and it is destined not to coexist.
Originally, Li Qing wanted to wait until he really trained a team of warriors before he would make a move against these bandits who were on the side of the Jiannan Dao, but he didn't expect them to dare to take action against Wei Yanyu, and Li Qing would naturally make a desperate move.
Shi Hao spoke first and suggested to Li Qing: "Tell Your Highness that the former army has now arrived at the entrance of Longquan Town, and your subordinates have come to ask Your Highness if you can continue to advance!" "After all, just now this person and his more than 200 city defense troops have been appointed as the vanguard of this expedition into the mountains to suppress bandits, so they naturally walked at the forefront of the team.
