Chapter 172 Civil officials are afraid of death, and military generals are greedy for money

Zhao Ting is a scholar, or a typical officialdom, in a place like Hangzhou, raising concubines, playing with wind and moon, etc., is very happy, as for the governance of Hangzhou, it has nothing to do with him, Zhu Mian is sometimes in Suzhou, sometimes in Hangzhou, Hangzhou and so on are basically Zhu Mian's words.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ting, who was about to sleep with his beautiful concubine, was quickly shocked by the famous post in front of him. Who is Coco Lee? When he led the executioner into Hangzhou City, Zhao Ting knew about it. To be honest, Zhao Ting doesn't look down on Li Jing, in the final analysis, Li Jing is a businessman and a martial artist, but Zhao Ting had to welcome Li Jing in. Because Li Jing is the person Cai Jing likes, because Li Jing is a student of today. Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, Zhao Ting did not dare to offend Li Jing.

"Li Gongzi came late at night, what happened?" Zhao Ting's face was calm, and he didn't put on an official robe, but the majesty on his face was still revealed, no matter how jealous Li Jing was, but the official is the official, and the people are the people. Li Jing is now a citizen.

"Your Excellency knows that Hangzhou is already in danger." Li Jing looked at Zhao Ting, who was still holding the Hangzhou Zhizhou shelf, and sighed slightly: "Fang Baihua has gathered an army of 30,000 to attack Hangzhou City?" After Fang Baihua, there is also Fang La. Are you ready? ”

"What?" Zhao Ting, who was still maintaining his official authority just now, was shocked all of a sudden, his face turned pale, he collapsed on the chair all of a sudden, and couldn't help but say: "Gongzi Li, this is a big deal, you can't talk nonsense." "How much detail does Hangzhou City have, he himself knows, once the army comes, Hangzhou will definitely fall into the hands of Fang Baihua, Hangzhou has fallen, half of the south of the Yangtze River is shaking, even if Zhao Ting has great ability, I am afraid that he will also end up with the consequences of destroying the family.

"Fang Baihua's army of 30,000 has already set off from Fuyang, and it should arrive in Hangzhou City early the day after tomorrow? Dare to ask your lord, how many soldiers and horses are there in this Hangzhou city? Li Jing sighed. Although there were many officials in the Song Dynasty who were still very good, these civil officials were all killed, and there is a good saying, the Northern Song Dynasty has no generals, and the Southern Song Dynasty has no generals. At this time, it was already the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, only a few years away from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the integrity of civil officials had lost a lot, and the panic in Zhao Ting's eyes was enough to explain all this.

"Thank you Li Gongzi for coming to tell me such an important thing. In the future, this official will definitely play the merits of the Son of Heaven and the son of Ming today. The panic on Zhao Ting's face flashed, and he quickly returned to normal, holding the official tone, but the right hand holding the cup trembled, indicating how panicked he was at the moment.

The corners of Li Jing's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he said lightly: "Lord Zhao, I'm just a person who earns some things for the teacher, to be honest, whether this Hangzhou City is lost or not is nothing to Lord Zhao, because Lord Zhao can find a place to be an official in the future, but for the imperial court, it is a big loss." Once someone says a few words in front of His Majesty, Lord Zhao's hopes are probably going to be disappointed. ”

"This, Li Jing, are you threatening this official? How could this official not know all this? Zhao Ting's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but stare at Li Jing and said. No matter how fierce he is, he can't hide his fierce appearance.

"Hangzhou has a great relationship, it is related to the taxation of Jiangnan, if Hangzhou is lost, half of the rivers and mountains in Jiangnan will be lost, do you say that those clear streams will spare Lord Zhao? Even the Grand Master didn't dare to help Lord Zhao speak at this time. Li Jing sighed and said: "Originally, I thought that I was on the same boat as my lord, but now it seems that I think so, but Lord Zhao doesn't think so." ”

Zhao Ting's face changed again, and finally sighed: "Li Gongzi, since everything has been said about this, I will tell the truth, Hangzhou City will definitely be lost, 30,000 troops, do you know how many troops are left in Hangzhou City now?" Three thousand three hundred fifty-three. Not even five thousand. ”

"Hangzhou is a big city, according to reason, the garrison in this place is probably more than 10,000, how can there be only more than 3,000 people." Li Jing frowned and said, "This soldier is really too few, and he must recruit soldiers!" Adults should gather the rich families of the whole city, everyone donates money and materials together, Hangzhou City is young and strong, and tens of thousands of troops can be obtained with a wave of the hand. ”

After Zhao Ting heard this, the boss with his mouth open, and finally sighed: "Even if there is a young man, there is no general!" That Fang Baihua is so powerful, crisscrossing the south of the Yangtze River, no one can stop it, and Fang La's subordinates have countless fierce generals, they can't stop it, they can't stop it! ”

"Unless the adults want to raid the family and exterminate the clan, unless those rich businessmen will also be killed all over the house. Hehe, Fang La, this guy, but he hates rich businessmen the most, once he enters the city, I'm afraid these rich businessmen won't be able to escape. The corners of Li Jing's mouth showed a hint of gloom, and said: "As for the so-called generals, hehe, I'm afraid there are very few people who can catch a few moves under my Li Jing!" ”

"Just?" Zhao Ting is still a little embarrassed, the literati in the late Northern Song Dynasty, few people are bold, the higher the official, the less courageous, and the Zhao Ting in front of him is the representative.

"My lord, if you leave at this time, your whole door will be killed, if you stay at this time, with the strong city defense of Hangzhou City, Fang Baihua will not be able to fight, as long as we hold on for five days, the surrounding garrisons will definitely kill us, at that time, it is the time when we turn defeat into victory, at that time, even if we can't defeat Fang Baihua, but it is still very easy to ensure Hangzhou City, my lord, don't you want to take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?" Li Jing said with a smile: "No matter how fierce Fang Baihua's soldiers and horses are, they are just a group of untrained farmers, and it is indeed very easy to defeat them!" Don't worry, adults. ”

"It's just that this matter is very important, and Hangzhou City is not the official alone, but the matter of recruiting troops can be started first. It's just that you are sure you can defeat Fang Baihua? It's a pity, he should have been captured that night, otherwise where would such a thing happen. Zhao Ting thought about it and said with some regret.

Li Jing's face turned red, it was himself who saved Fang Baihua that night, and he said gratefully at the moment: "Don't worry!" Lord Zhao, a small Fang Baihua, how could I, Li Jing, be afraid of him? Rest assured! ”

"So good, so good." Zhao Ting nodded, but his eyes wandered, and said, "Li Gongzi can take my letter, go to the military camp, and see Commander Ge Zhuang." Zhao Ting thought about it, and wrote a letter to Li Jing from a few cases on the side.

"Thank you, sir." Li Jing took the letter, scanned it, and saw that it was just asking him to cooperate with Ge Zhuang's command. But Li Jing is already very satisfied, at least, he can choose the power of young people on the dock in Hangzhou, these young people work all year round, and they have a lot of strength, as long as they have a little training, they will definitely become an elite soldier. As for Ge Zhuang, it seems that he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but in fact there are only more than 3,000 people.

After Li Jing left, Zhao Ting looked at the other party's figure and hesitated for a while, and finally beckoned the people around him and said: "Quickly pack your bags, once you find something wrong, retreat immediately, although Hangzhou is very important, but it is not as important as my life." However, what this kid said makes sense, once Hangzhou is lost, I will definitely be unlucky, but if it is lost after resistance, it will not be my responsibility. Hehe, Li Jing, isn't this a very good person to be hacked? Although there are more young and strong people in Hangzhou City, Fang La's thieves are thinking about Hangzhou all the time, and they can't figure out that at this time, they have already laid a lot of shadows in Hangzhou City. Once launched, it will definitely shake Hangzhou, and Hangzhou will not be able to hold it. It's ridiculous that Li Jing, relying on some relationship with the Son of Heaven, is not good to be an honest businessman, he has to get involved in military politics, how can you decide this officialdom as a martial artist, it's really a joke? It would be a good thing to give you some face first, and gather those rich merchants, if you can really get some money from them. When the time comes, even if you lose Hangzhou and lose your official position, you will be able to live a good life. ”

Li Jing naturally didn't know that Zhao Ting had already begun to prepare for escape at this time, and he didn't go looking for Ge Zhuang's mansion, in fact, he had already excluded Ge Zhuang from his plan, what could a guy who only knew how to eat empty salaries do? How many elite soldiers and strong generals do he have! He still returned to the location of his Zhenwei Dart Bureau. This is your man in his details, he wants to use his 800 men to form an elite of 8,000 people, and then use these 8,000 people to pry the entire Hangzhou battlefield and defeat Fang La, so that Fang La does not dare to peep at Hangzhou in a short period of time, barely maintain the stability of Jiangnan, and let Li Jing have a year's buffer time. So he had to go to see Luda and the others overnight, arrange tomorrow's tasks, and seize the time to deal with Fang Baihua.

"Open the city gates, emergency military situation." In the end, Zhao Ting's letter played a very important role, at this time the city gate was closed, and it was very difficult for Li Jing to get out of the city gate. Seeing Zhao Ting, with a letter from the other party, it would be so easy.

Early the next morning, a recruitment notice appeared on the city wall of Hangzhou City, and some were on the dock, Li Jing gave very good benefits, anyway, the rich businessmen in Hangzhou paid for it, and Li Jing didn't care.

Naturally, the matter of recruiting troops was decided by Wu Song and others, fortunately, Li Jing brought a lot of generals this time, Luda, Yang Zhi, Li Daniu and others accompanied him, especially Luda and Yang Zhi were both in the army, and they were very surprised to recruit troops, and the executioners of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau have also grown up, although the time is very short, but it is okay to barely form an army, these people are at most a deterrent, only after a few rounds of fighting, can they become qualified soldiers.
