Chapter 14 Qingzhou Wine Banquet

When the Northern Song Dynasty opened the country, it fought for many years, and the number of forbidden troops was about 200,000, but they were all elite warriors! It's just that Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, buried all these elites in the land of Yanyun, which ruined the military accumulation of Song Taizu to a large extent.

That is, since then, the number of forbidden troops has gradually increased, from the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty to the political and political years, the number of forbidden troops once reached more than one million, when the Song Dynasty Shenzong, Wang Anshi presided over the change, through a series of policies such as the reduction of weak soldiers and preferential treatment of strong soldiers, the number of forbidden troops was controlled at around 600,000, and now, it is called 800,000 forbidden army! It's just that while the number of forbidden troops has increased, the number of local troops has been reduced, and even in some places, there are less than one battalion of soldiers!

Of course, the forbidden army was not all stationed in Bianjing, and on the border between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State and the Western Xia, all the forbidden troops were stationed, such as the Western Army led by Tong Guan, which should be regarded as the strongest in the forbidden army.

Qingzhou is the seat of a state, although it belongs to the north, some are close to the Liao State, but there are not many soldiers and horses, only about two or three thousand.

Li Jing and Huang Xin walked together, and they also talked to each other along the way, saying that they were brothers and brothers, and while they were chatting, Li Jing thought of the bandits in Qingzhou, so he asked Huang Xindao:

"Brother Huang, I came to Qingzhou this time to suppress bandits, I see that there are outstanding people like Brother Huang, and there are still bandits in trouble, I don't know where the difficulty of suppressing bandits in Qingzhou is?"

Huang Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and replied to Li Jingdao: "Don't hide it from General Li, when I first served as the capital prison, I also said that I wanted to exterminate the bandits in the Three Mountains, but these bandits are well-informed, have many ears and eyes, and if they send more troops, these bandits will flee in all directions, and if they send fewer troops, these bandits will even dare to attack them in groups." What's more, there are not many elite soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and there are only three or five hundred people, how easy is it to suppress bandits? ”

Li Jing also agreed when he heard it, after all, this can be said to be one in the light and the other in the dark. One needs to report to the officials before sending troops, and after going through layers of procedures, one only needs a few leaders to make a decision. It's never a good thing that the organization is redundant and the leaders have no autonomy!

But Li Jing is not familiar with Huang Xin after all, but he can't tell Huang Xin about this idea.

Huang Xin may have thought that Li Jing was a good listener, and when he saw Li Jing, he should talk to him, and then said to Li Jing:

"Take the Erlong Mountain as an example, the bandit leader of the Erlong Mountain is called the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, and there are two or three hundred minions under his command, these Erlong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we only know that there is a way up the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be said that it can be said that one man is a man who is not open, and there is only one way to close the mountain if you want to exterminate it!"

Now Li Jingke felt strange, since the method of sealing the mountain is available, so why not use it?

As if knowing Li Jing's question, Huang Xin went on to explain to Li Jing: "Why don't I and General Qin want to close the mountain, but it costs a lot to close the mountain, and Qingzhou has insufficient troops, and most of these mountain bandits are robbing some business travelers on weekdays, who will stand up for them!"

After Huang Xin said that, he also knew that he was speechless, looked up to the sky and sighed, and was silent for a long time.

Li Jing is not stupid, on the contrary, he is a little clever, who should take care of these business travelers? Naturally, it's Murong Yanda!

"Thank you Brother Huang for mentioning this time, Li Jing will not forget this time!"

Huang Xin's face softened a little when he heard this, and then said to Li Jing: "This time, Brother Li came to Qingzhou to suppress bandits on the orders of Tokyo, and I think Lord Zhizhou should fully support him, but Lord Zhizhou has a good face, Brother Li should pay more attention later!"

Li Jing naturally thanked Huang Xin for reminding him.

Then the two of them didn't say anything all the way to the restaurant in the city.

……

When Li Jing saw the name of this restaurant, he couldn't help but smile, because the name of this restaurant is three big characters: "Smell the fragrance", I am afraid that it is not a person who will smell the fragrance, and what is it, the one with a particularly smart nose.

Li Jing thought that people like Murong Yanda must often come to this restaurant, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made Huang Xinjue next to him inexplicable.

As for whether Li Jing thought that he was about to smell the fragrance and enter this "smelling fragrance" when he was laughing, only God knows.

Outside the hotel, thinking that Murong Yanda had sent someone to wait, as soon as Li Jing entered the hotel gate, he saw a middle-aged scribe with a group of people coming over.

Huang Xin next to him didn't dare to slack off when he saw this, and hurriedly introduced Murong Zhizhou led by Li Jing, as well as Qingzhou next to him, etc., the civil officials of the Song Dynasty saw the military attaché, and they were three levels higher out of thin air, and Li Jing naturally saluted one by one.

When it came time to introduce the generals, the first one was Qin Ming, with a pair of tiger eyes, not angry and arrogant, and two thick eyebrows, at a glance, he knew that he was a man with a straightforward personality and a hot temper. When they met for the first time, looking at Qin Ming's attitude, he should have a good impression of Li Jing, of course, there should be many of them because Huang Xin had a sense of closeness to Li Jing in his words.

In this first banquet, Li Jing naturally did not dare to slack off, and basically did not refuse those who came to invite wine, and he also respected Murong Yanda very much. It can be seen that Murong Yanda is very happy about this, and even said to Li Jing that as long as Li Jing closely follows his Murong Zhizhou's footsteps, he Murong Zhizhou will definitely make Li Jing continue to take credit, and even make Li Jing a real commander!

If Li Jing didn't know how Murong Yanda treated Qin Ming later, maybe he would have believed Murong Yanda's fooling, but now, Li Jing would only be hehe.

By the time the banquet was over, Li Jing was already drunk, and he didn't even know how to get back to the barracks, and he only remembered that he patted his chest and promised Qin Ming and Huang Xin that he would definitely exterminate the Three Mountains, and Qin Ming and Huang Xin also promised to help, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, these three people might have cut off their heads, burned yellow paper, and worshipped!

As for Murong Yanda, Li Jing only remembered that he promised himself to guarantee the supply of food and grass for the forward battalion, and the others were empty words similar to asking Li Jing to fulfill his duties and serve the country, and as for the troop support, he didn't seem to mention a word.

In the end, it was Huang Xin who sent Li Jing back to the forward camp camp, and he originally prepared an official residence for Li Jing in Qingzhou City, but Li Jing was drunk on the first day, but he couldn't go.

Not to mention, although the wine of the Song Dynasty is low, it can't hold up the amount. Li Jing couldn't even remember how much he had drunk, but he only remembered a lot, a lot......

In general, Li Jing had a very fulfilling day, especially in this "smelling the fragrance" restaurant, Li Jing smelled the fragrance and vomited away, as for the headache after waking up on the second day, let him go alone......
