"Since the Taishi said that Li Jing would not oppose, if he is allowed to enter Beijing now, what does the Taishi think?" Zhao Ji suddenly asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cai Jing's face changed slightly, but he still persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Hedong Road is now at a critical moment, Li Jing entered Hedong Road with 3,000 cavalry, and Tian Hu was caught off guard, so he had today's achievements, and the minister thought that the front line was tense at this time, and it was not easy to summon generals into Beijing, so it was better to wait for the end of the war to let Li Jing lead the meritorious ministers to Beijing." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Lao Chen is worried about Hebei, Zhang Di is brave and good at fighting, he is very popular in Hebei, this person is entrenched in Hebei, and his threat is even worse than that of Tianhu, if he is not exterminated, I am afraid that there will be a burning trend." Cai Jing said again: "Liang Zhongshu can govern the place, but if the rebellion is suppressed, the old minister thinks that it is still a little worse, and it is necessary to send elite soldiers to help Liang Zhongshu solve Zhang Di, so as to stabilize the situation in Hebei." ”

Liang Shicheng listened to the corner of his mouth with a smile on the side, this is Cai Jing's real purpose, that is, to come for the matter of Hebei, helping Li Jing to speak is secondary, the key is to keep Liang Zhongshu.

"The forbidden army has no troops to adjust, the Western Army is fighting with Fang La, and it can't be easily dispatched, Li Jing, Li Jing's army may not have the energy to shoot!" Liang Shicheng couldn't help but say.

"Qiao Daoqing has withdrawn from Shexian County, Li Jing's army of more than 100,000 is enough to form a deterrent to Tian Hu, the old minister's meaning, let Li Jing leave some soldiers and horses, form a deterrent to Zhang Di, temporarily trap Zhang Di in the area of Zhaozhou, and wait for Li Jing to destroy Tian Hu, and then make a move on Zhaozhou." Cai Jing said. His real purpose is not to exterminate Zhang Di, but to stabilize the current situation and protect Liang Zhongshu, so that Liang Zhongshu will not be attacked by others in the court.

"Well, the Daimyo's Mansion is the northern gateway of the imperial court, and there can't be a problem, so let Li Jing leave some soldiers and horses to contain Zhang Di." Zhao Ji could only say. He knew that in this way, the matter of summoning Li Jing into Beijing was far away, and he was annoyed in his heart, and said: "Li Jing's side is winning one after another, ask Tong Guan what's going on, most of the soldiers and horses under Li Jing's command are composed of thieves and Kouxiang army, and Tian Hu, who can be killed, is it defeated and retreated, and the western army under his command is so brave, is it not as good as Li Jing?" ”

"Yes." Cai Jing hurriedly responded, slightly happy in his heart, if Tong Guan could pull out his hand, where did he need Li Jing to make a move, the western army would immediately go north to solve the matter in Hebei.

On the vast battlefield, there were not only thousands of cavalry behind Li Jing, but also many infantry, and the soldiers and horses of Fenyang Mansion led by Yang Zaixing finally converged with Li Jing's army, and the Tianhu army was only a stone's throw away, and the cavalry could be killed with a charge.

For a while, the two sides were eyeing each other, for fear that the other party would suddenly kill, of course, compared to Li Jing, Tian Hu was panicked in his heart, because his army had no food, if he could march quickly, he might be able to enter the nest of Weisheng Prefecture, but if he marched like this, he would definitely not be able to break away from Li Jing's attack.

"Lord Zhang, why did you say Tian Hu was opposed?" There are not only Zhang Xiaochun beside Li Jing, but also Zhu Wu and Xiao Rang, Li Jing is riding on a horse, looking at the panicked camp opposite, and even he can see the panicked eyes behind the camp. I couldn't help but ask.

"Naturally, naturally ambitious, so they rebelled." Zhang Xiaochun said.

"Even Master Zhang himself doesn't believe it." Li Jing said with a smile: "Tian Hu may have killed someone because of a trivial matter, but he still wanted to rebel, and the reason why so many people followed him was because these people were dissatisfied with the court and the government." The people around Tian Hu may be ambitious and want to seize wealth and wealth, but what about those soldiers? Are they the same? A good man is not a soldier, Master Zhang is a scholar, and he must know this sentence. ”

"Not bad." Zhang Xiaochun nodded, he didn't understand what Li Jing wanted to say, but this sentence was not wrong. Don't say that it is a martial artist, even the status of the military general in the court is also very low, don't look at himself as a prefect, Li Jing is a general, if it is an ordinary season, Li Jing does not dare to show off his might in front of him.

"The reason why these people are used by Tian Hu is because they have no way to live, so they will be like this." Zhu Wu couldn't help but say: "If they have a head, where do they need to do this." In the final analysis, it is land, the common people have no land, when the year is good, rent the landlord's land, you can barely survive, but when the year is bad, it is not good. Without land, how can the government survive if it is seriously exploited? ”

"Since the beginning of the Taizu period in this dynasty, it has formed a land policy of not suppressing annexation, forming a situation where the rich have the wealth to occupy the land, the noble can occupy the land, and the husband of the cultivator leads the rich and noble, Lord Zhang, what I said makes sense?" Li Jing raised his whip and said.

"Yes, that's exactly the case, on the one hand, Emperor Taizu wanted to collect military power and acquiesce in the annexation of land by his generals, but secondly, the imperial court had insufficient financial resources and no food in the country, so he had to do so." Zhang Xiaochun's face was pale and he couldn't help but sigh. This is a fact, don't you say that those big people in the court, even if they themselves occupy a lot of land?

"Lord Zhang, guess what I thought, I thought of the previous dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, those big families were the same, wantonly annexed land, and finally, Huangchao came, not only the land is gone, even the people are gone." Li Jing pointed to Tian Hu on the opposite side and said: "Now that Tian Hu's army is here, as far as I know, among the five states, unless the big households take the initiative to serve Tian Hu, even so, the land in their hands has been deprived a lot, of course, these lands did not fall into the hands of the people, but into the hands of Tian Hu and his officials." ”

"General, it's been like this since ancient times." Zhang Xiaochun listened with a hint of helplessness. When any interest group comes to power, it will seize important resources, and in this era, land is the most important resource.

"Lord Zhang, what did you say that after General Ben pacified Hedong Road, what should be left?" Li Jing looked at Zhang Xiaochun with a smile.

"This? The imperial court naturally has a imperial court..."Zhang Xiaochun hadn't finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, his face changed, he looked at Li Jing and said, "General, you?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to solve the land problem on Hedong Road, have you seen so many soldiers in Tian Hu? Choose its strength to join the Northern Army, and the rest of the old and weak will return to the township and raise it with land, otherwise, the general will exterminate Tian Hu on the front foot, and more Tian Hu will emerge on the back foot, where will there be time to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun? Li Jing sneered.

"But, but?" Zhang Xiaochun was speechless, his face was flushed, and he almost pointed at Li Jing's nose and scolded the other party for wanting to rebel, but thinking of what Li Jing did, he could only suppress the anger in his heart, Li Jing was still afraid that others would say that he had rebelled?
