"How is Jingshi?" Li Jing thought about it, but still said tentatively. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Rumors spread overnight that the virtuous brother is going to rebel." Cai Yan looked at Li Jing and couldn't help but quip.

Li Jing's face changed suddenly, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, pretending to be panicked, and said, "It must be King Yun who wants to kill me, what should I do?" He knew that Cai Yan was testing him.

"Brother Xian doesn't have to worry, the official family is the king of the Holy Ming, how can he not know the reason for this, so he has already let King Yun go home to study." Cai Yan said with a smile: "It's a virtuous brother, almost a white body is in charge of a hundred thousand troops, and it is inevitable that there will be criticism in the court!" "What Cai Ying said makes sense, although Li Jing is the commander of the Zhenwei Army, but everyone knows how the Zhenwei Army came about, how long Li Jing has been an official, and he can really say the past with a white body.

"In addition to my Li Jing, there are still people in the court who can control this 100,000 army, maybe the envoy of the Tong Privy Envoy can come!" Li Jing's face returned to normal, with a hint of pride, and said: "It's a pity that the privy envoy is in the Western Army, controlling hundreds of thousands of Western Army, I'm afraid I can't look down on this 100,000 army!" ”

Cai Ying's face was not good-looking, he glanced around, and said: "Tong Guan and the virtuous brother don't need it, more than ten years of work, Tong Guan's hundreds of thousands of troops have consumed a lot, the Western Army is tired, and Tong Guan is about to return from leading the army." It's the virtuous brother, who started from scratch, from the Zhenwei army to the current 100,000 army, how much did the virtuous brother cost? I'm afraid it's mostly my brother's own money. Hehe, there are some things that the virtuous brother doesn't know, when I came here just now, I took a look, and I want to support the 100,000 army under your command, and the court is afraid that the court will be powerless. ”

Li Jing nodded, although the Song Dynasty was rich, but after Song Huizong's profligacy, coupled with official corruption, the Western Army's conquest, and various annual coins, the annual expenses were very large, and the incompetence of the forbidden army and the Xiang army was because of institutional factors on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also because of money factors, without money, how to ensure logistics, how to train soldiers, Li Jing was able to train like this, because he was rich, the money of Liangshan, Chaijia and the sealing warehouse was enough for him to raise an army of 100,000, and the glass and soap were also a steady stream of money, Enough to sustain his career.

"What is the imperial court going to do with my army of hundreds of thousands?" Li Jing thought about it and asked.

"This? There is Fang La in the southeast of the imperial court, and there is Tianhu in the north. Cai Yan finally didn't say the word "thief girl", after all, in front of Li Jing, those thieves are now Li Jing's subordinates, and they are inevitably a little unhappy when they say it.

"Kill thieves with thieves?" Li Jing said indifferently: "It's a good plan, but my Zhenwei army is not a thief." ”

"Brother Xian, it's not that your Zhenwei army, but that some thieves are difficult to change, and if they are put in a place, they will inevitably make waves, if they are collected by the imperial court, the imperial court will also be afraid of one or two, and simply let these people serve the imperial court, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." Cai Yan said with relief: "As for the Zhenwei Army of the virtuous brother, who dares to offend the heroes? Besides, the virtuous brother is both civil and military, if he is just a military general, what can he do, after he has made military exploits, he will be a noble civil official, this time it is the right way! ”

"How long has my army been in the army, and the court really looks up to me Li Jing." Li Jing shook his head and said, how much ability he has Li Jing himself knows that the reason why the Zhenwei Army was a strong army in the past was because he had three hundred Zhuangke as the backbone, so he could barely form an army, and now he has eliminated the old and weak, so that he can only have today's young and strong, young and strong are only young and strong, and they can't become elite, the imperial court's use of thieves to destroy thieves is too obvious, will those Liangshan rebels agree?

Cai Yan was silent after hearing this, this plan was said by his father, and I heard that there was such a suggestion within the imperial court, but now that it is placed here by Li Jing, I am afraid it is a little unhappy. After all, it is Li Jing's soldiers and horses who are weakened, although it sounds good to be in the prime minister, but what is Li Jing after he returns to Beijing? I'm afraid that the civil officials in Beijing will not take him to heart.

"The official family asked Brother Wei to come this time, just to invite the virtuous brother to Beijing. As for what kind of reward the official family will have, even if it is for the brother, he can't guess. Cai Yan said with a slight embarrassment.

"The official family can let my brother come, which means that he has already made a decision in his heart, and if he wants the horse to run, but he doesn't want the horse to graze, I'm afraid it's impossible." Li Jing shook his head and said.

"That's right." Cai Yan was a little embarrassed, it was indeed a bit unreasonable for the imperial court to do this, and it was normal for Li Jing to have resentment in his heart. At the moment, he said: "This can't be changed to fight rebellion, the virtuous brother is brave, and the use of soldiers is also extremely powerful, the imperial court is now in addition to the Western Army, there are no soldiers to adjust, if the virtuous brother is placed in the Beijing Division, I am afraid it will be the second forbidden army, and I don't want to come to the virtuous brother, I don't know if there is a good place to go in the heart of the virtuous brother." ”

"The good place can't be my turn, so don't talk about it, brother." Li Jing shook his head, he walked out of the big tent, outside the big tent, the shouting of killing shook the sky, but these can only be appearances, those soldiers who have just joined the Zhenwei Army have only learned the queue, and there is still a long way to go for military discipline and the art of battle formation.

"Brother Xian, although the south is good, but Fang La's strength is strong, I'm afraid that Brother Xian will lose a lot of soldiers and generals, why don't you choose the north to deal with Tian Hu? Among the three major kou, Fang La is the strongest, Tian Hu is the second, and Wang Qing is the weakest. This is the weakest in the land of Huguang, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be willing, Tian Hu may be able to do it, and even eat the local area. Cai Yan couldn't help but say, "Fenyang? Wasion? Jinning? Zhaode? Gaizhou and other states are envoys? In the end, Cai Yan had nothing to say, and the Jiedu envoy at this time was only the official position of Linglu, and he had long since not held the same authority as the Jiedu envoy in the last year of the previous dynasty.

"Brother said that even he was embarrassed, didn't he just exterminate Tian Hu? My brother just agreed, but I need to do it after half a year. Li Jing shook his head and said: "It's nothing to serve the imperial court, it's not a war anywhere, but the younger brother is going to get married, otherwise, the younger brother doesn't know which one to stay in Beijing, is the elder brother right?" ”

"Just for this point, for my brother, I will find a way to let my brother be a powerful envoy and exterminate Tian Hu." Cai Yingjun blushed and said: "To tell you the truth, Brother Xian, although Natian Hu's strength is not very good, but there is someone behind him, I'm afraid it's the Liao State, if you don't have power in your hands, I'm afraid it will be impossible to defeat him." ”

"If that's the case, the younger brother will thank the elder brother." Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, speaking of which, didn't he just want a real power envoy? Cai Ying said this, what else could Li Jing not agree to? (To be continued.) )
