Chapter 20 Under Heaven

The light of dawn is always the most promising thing in the world, and when it announces the start of a new day, it also tells everyone that whatever you want, you still have a chance. But this "everyone" obviously does not include the dead, whether you have been dead for a long time or died in the moment before dawn.

Qimen changed hands, but there was no big war in the city yesterday, many people opened the door, saw the Jin army walking on the street, they were a little distracted, they didn't know, why they returned to the rule of the Jin overnight.

But it doesn't matter, who is mixed up or not, as long as the battle at the top does not spread the disaster to them, they will be content. On this day, those who should sell vegetables sell vegetables, and those who should open shops open shops, as long as they can survive, they don't care how the outside world changes.

"Dead ghost, last night the old lady got up and went to the thatched house, but I couldn't see you, you tell the old lady clearly, did you go to the drunken fragrance building to fool around again?!" On the side of the street, a fat woman grabbed the ears of a lean man, and was furious, the man wanted to run, but he couldn't resist the big hands, and he bared his teeth in pain and asked for mercy again and again.

"Steamed buns, steamed buns, hot steamed buns! Objective, do you come to two? Opposite the two couples, a middle-aged man was selling his craft.

"Chick, don't run, come back!" A little girl with pigtails is chasing a rooster running around.

Li Congjing, under the escort of his own guards, beat his horse and walked to the town, and suddenly had a lot of good feelings for the vibrant Qimen City. Maybe it was the children playing on the street, and the clean smiles on their faces moved him, or maybe the eyes of these people looked at him without showing too much defense.

There are many pedestrians on the street, and they are all walking in their own lives.

Relieved, Li Congjing smiled: "Life is still very good!" ”

Zhenzhi has already asked someone to clean up in advance, Li Congjing can be regarded as moving in empty-handed, and Li Congjing will have to deal with military affairs here for the next few days. As for what Li Congjing will do after the end of this battle, it is unknown now. However, according to the agreement with Li Cunmiao in advance, the total Liang army he captured this time was almost 1,000, and Li Cunmiao had to transfer at least two more Jin troops under his command to him. A team of more than 2,000 people, just placed in Qimen, is not suitable.

The town is divided into the main hall, the inner hall and the bedroom, the office courtyard of the divisions, as well as the stables, the house and other facilities, covering an area of more than 60 acres, quite atmospheric. However, its interior decoration is simple, the courtyard pattern is ordinary, although the grass and trees are flourishing, there are no patterns, typical military style.

Zhenzhi is in the city, but the military camp is not in the city, Li Congjing stayed in Zhenzhi for a while, and then rushed to the military camp outside the city. There were still four or five hundred Liang army prisoners there, and Li Congjing went to inspect it, showing his identity as a master and his approachable style, he didn't say much, but just ordered that the food should not be bad for them. After all, Li Cunqing's order has not been given yet, and Li Congjing doesn't want to do too much.

He Chong died, and some of Wei Bojun's heads came to inquire, and Li Congjing told them the words prepared last night: "A Liang army resisted stubbornly, ambushed in the town, and attacked while the envoy and He commanded the envoy to investigate the town, and the commander He and his own soldiers were unfortunately attacked and killed...... The envoy also fought to the death to break through, but fortunately Li Shaocheng arrived to destroy this Liang army......"

Of course, Wei Bojun didn't believe it, so Li Congjing handed over Liang Jun's corpse to them to seeβ€”Qimen did not lack Liang Jun's corpse. Wei Bojun is all the head, even if he doesn't believe it, he doesn't know what to do for a while, can he directly turn his face with Li Congjing?

Li Congjing's words can be regarded as an explanation to everyone, although Li Congjing's words have many loopholes, but at this time He Chong is dead, these Wei Bojun are all heads, naturally they will not really turn their faces with Li Congjing, that is no good, as long as everyone can get by on the face, they naturally have to look forward.

Li Congjing's recovery of Qimen, coupled with the merits of the battle of Gongcheng, Wei Bojun also has merit in this, and afterwards these top teams are naturally the rewards that should be rewarded, and the promotions that should be promoted. But if they offend Li Congjing, a celebrity in front of King Jin, and the credit is erased afterwards, what good will it do them?

Even if they didn't believe Li Congjing's words and had any ideas, they would tell Wu Jingzhong afterwards that they were now leaderless, and they really couldn't do anything with Li Congjing.

"Qimen Xinke, all the things in the city need to be dealt with, the most important of which is the city defense and order in the city, this matter is expected to work together with Congma, what do you think?" Li Congjing nodded and asked.

"Everything is arranged by Commander Li." Then Wei Bojun said. When he said this, he expressed his willingness to honor Li Congjing's order on behalf of the four hundred Wei Bojun. Even if it's just for the sake of military merits, for the time being.

Li Congjing immediately summoned the generals of the Jin army, surveyed the military merits, registered them, and sent people to report them. This is the matter, Wei Bojun's head team members are all relieved, and when they talk to Li Congjing again, it is much more natural.

Li Congjing immediately ordered the army to rest and recuperate, ran back to Zhenzhi by himself, took a bath, was too lazy to eat, and fell asleep.

I slept soundly, and when I woke up again, it was dusk the next day. Soon, Li Cunqing's news came back, first praising Li Congjing twice, and then asking him to rush to Weizhou five days later.

After a big battle in Weizhou, Li Cunmiao defeated the Liang army, but he did not encounter effective resistance from the Liang army after that. The Liang army marched to the north to recruit Dai Siyuan, and led the army back to Liang. As a result, the war in the south of the Jin Kingdom also completely stopped. Li Cunqiao had nothing to do in the south, and he didn't stay, and went back to Weizhou directly after turning around.

At this time, the only place where there was still war in the Jin Kingdom was Zhenzhou in the east. Li Congjing remembered that his father, Li Siyuan, was participating in the battle to attack Zhenzhou, and he didn't know when he would be able to capture it.

Although the war has temporarily stopped, Xiangzhou, Qimen, Gongcheng, and Weizhou are already on the front line of the war against Liang, and as long as the war between Liang and Jin does not end for a day, Qimen is far from peace.

For Li Congjing, the most important thing at the moment is that Li Cunqiao quickly clarified his military power, gave him the soldiers that should be given to him, and then found a place for him to get out of the town, so that he could cultivate his own forces and team. No one knows when the next battle will start, and Li Congjing has to improve his comprehensive strength before this to deal with all kinds of possible situations.

At the same time, in Weizhou, Wu Jingzhong finally learned the news that He Chong "died in battle" in Qimen.

"How did He Chong die, you say it again?!" Wu Jingzhong held back his anger and shouted at the sergeant kneeling in front of him.

"Ki...... After Qimen was conquered, a Liang army resisted stubbornly and set up an ambush in Zhenzhi, and Commander He and Commander Li did not know that there was a deception, and went to take over Zhenzhi, and were attacked and killed by the thief army in Zhenzhi. The sergeant said resignedly, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"What about Li Congjing, why didn't he lose a single hair?" Wu Jingzhong was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.

Commander Li fought desperately to save his life. Afterwards, Li commanded the envoys to attack the town and destroy the recalcitrant Liang army......" said the sergeant sweating profusely.

"Bastard!" Wu Jingzhong finally couldn't bear the anger and took the case, "He Li Congjing gave birth to three heads and six arms, He Chong died in the chaos, but he can save his life, it's just nonsense!" ”

That appearance clearly shows that it is Li Congjing who wants to die.

"Get out!" Wu Jingzhong drank the retired sergeant, and he still couldn't hold back his anger, and the general's report was torn to pieces.

"Li Congjing killed Zhang Lang in the chaotic army before, and it is not impossible to survive the siege of the Liang army this time." Wu Jingzhong's confidant said so at this time.

"What did you say!" Wu Jingzhong was almost confused by the staff, "When has this been, you actually spoke for Li Congjing?" ”

The general was angry. That Li Congjing dared to kill He Chong in Qimen, it can be seen that his attitude is extremely clear, and it is clear that he is doing it for you. According to the following opinion, this guy has already guessed that the general made him a stumbling block, and he killed He Chong, which was to give the general a dismount, borrowing He Chong's head to tell the general that he Li Congjing was not easy to provoke. The staff was not in a hurry, and told the story.

"He Li Congjing is not easy to bully, but I Wu is easy to bully?" Wu Jingzhong said angrily.

"General, this time Li Congjing went out to fight, counted the city, and almost returned to Qimen without blood, and he was in the limelight for a while. Besides, he has the support of King Jin, and it is really unwise for us to compete with him at this time. The staff analyzed.

"Are you and I going to endure this breath and let this milky and dry boy show off his might?" Wu Jingzhong was not convinced.

"Definitely. It is not a strange thing that the shaft was once proud. However, you also know that young people like this are more than sharp and not steady, and they are most likely to be proud of their victories. I'll wait and let him go, in order to boost his arrogance, so that he has no one in his eyes, and he will make enemies everywhere, and at that time, I will deal with him again, only need a little layout, why worry that he will not enter my game? The staff smiled sinisterly.

Wu Jingzhong was silent for a while, and snorted coldly: "In this way, it's cheap, that kid has been arrogant for a few more days!" ”

"It doesn't matter. What is it to laugh loudly, the winner is the one who laughs last......"

Five days later, Li Congjing went from Qimen to Weizhou, and he only took Zhang Xiaowu and others with him on this trip, and he deliberately did not bring Li Shaocheng back, because he was lazy to get rid of this hundred horses.

Weizhou is building a palace for Li Cunqiao to live in, and many Jin courtiers are asking Li Cunqiao to be the emperor on the table, and Li Congjing estimates that this matter will be in the past two years.

Li Cunqiao summoned Li Congjing at the mansion.

"You kid is really good, and it is not in vain that this king has high hopes for you. With 500 people capturing 1,123 enemies, your appetite is quite large, and this time you will only be given a commander, no matter how you look at it, it will not be enough. Li Cunmiao smiled and looked very happy.

"Then give one of them all the command." Li Congjing thought to himself, but he couldn't say this, so he just looked at Li Cunqing, waiting for him to give him an official position.

"You led the army to recover Gongcheng and Qimen, and this king promised you before that he would give you another 1,000 troops this time, so that you will have four commanders under your command and more than 2,000 people. Gongcheng and Qimen are under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, and this king immediately promoted you to be the deputy envoy of Xiangzhou regimental training, out of the town of Qimen, and the matter of regimental training. Li Cunmiao touched his chin and groaned.

"Qimen is just a county, how can two thousand town troops be stationed?" Li Congjing was a little puzzled.

"Before, Qimen was indeed just an ordinary county." Li Cunqiao said, "However, this king has now moved the shogunate to Weizhou, so the location of Qimen, which is the barrier of Weizhou, is important. Therefore, this king intends to build Qimen into an important town, and at least 3,000 troops can be garrisoned. If not, this king can directly transfer you to Xiangzhou to garrison, why let you lead 2,000 people to Qimen? ”

A sudden look appeared on Li Congjing's face, but he was slandering in his heart: "Why did you move the shogunate to Weizhou, you want to be the emperor in Weizhou!" However, how did you add another thousand to make it three thousand? ”

"This king wants to build Qimen into an important town, and a series of constructions such as city defense will naturally be done, you only need to be a nominal leader, the most difficult thing in this is to train elite soldiers. You have been following this king for almost a year, and you have experienced a lot of wars during this period. This king heard that you had studied the military book for ten years before you came to Rong, which is a good thing, and in this respect, it is much better than your father, who is illiterate. That's why this king will leave the affairs of Qimen to you. Li Cunmiao's face was solemn, "Three thousand elite soldiers, there are a thousand that you need to recruit during this period." This king just said, no matter what method you use, as long as the elite soldiers are trained, this king will naturally be rewarded, if you can't practice, the military law will deal with it! ”

Li Congjing's expression was awe-inspiring, what was in front of him was undoubtedly a heavy burden, and Li Cunqing used him so much, such a good opportunity was absolutely unavoidable. If the matter is done, it is naturally easy to say, but if the Qimen matter that Li Cunqing attaches so much importance to is messed up, the consequences that Li Congjing will have to bear are by no means clear in the words military law.

Li Cunqing intended to carve Li Congjing, and he couldn't fully understand his meaning for a while, but Li Congjing's high hopes, Li Congjing could clearly feel it.

"Minister, dare not to serve the dead?!" Li Congjing clenched his fists and said sonorously.

"Li Shaocheng's whole country is straight from Mazhi, and this king will send it to you, which is the first support given to you by this king." Li Cunqiao patted Li Congjing's shoulder and spoke seriously.

When Li Congjing heard this, he was ashamed of himself: Look at how big other people measure, he still thinks about being lazy with this hundred horses, and they don't plan to take it back at all!

"Okay, you are not only guarding Qimen, but also commanding 3,000 troops, you must not have a military number." Li Cunmiao softened his tone, "Have you ever thought about the military number?" ”

Li Congjing really thought about this matter, and said at the moment: "The army of the world is a hero in a hundred battles." Why don't you call it a 'Hundred Battles' army? ”

"Good!" Li Cunmiao couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and then waved his hand, "Today, the king has ordered you to be the commander of the hundred battle armies, lead 3,000 soldiers, and guard Qimen!" ”

"Minister, take the order!" Li Congjing promised a big gift.

Coming out of the shogunate, Lee Congjing was emotionally self-contained.

He was no longer familiar with the Five Dynasties, and he also knew that Li Cunqiao had become an emperor. However, he was killed by the rebel army after only four years as emperor.

A person with such eloquence and strategy, when the world comes together, the heroes of the world cannot compete with it, but they still can't escape the fate of a hasty ending. Li Congjing pays for himself, how can he be virtuous, can he survive in troubled times?

At present, Li Cunqiao has a lot of trust in Li Congjing, has high hopes, and is not stingy in training, taking into account the two identities of Bole and nobleman. The ancients said: A scholar dies for a confidant.

But Li Congjing knew that Li Cunqiao was finally replaced by his father Li Siyuan. He himself is caught in the middle, where will he go?

And among the henchmen that his father Li Siyuan now relies on, there are Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao. In the original history, one of these two people rebelled after Li Siyuan's death to overthrow the rule of Li Siyuan's son, and the other took refuge in the Khitan to recognize the thief as his father and sacrificed the sixteen states of Yanyun, ending the rule of the Li dynasty. In the face of these challenges that are destined to come, how should Li Congjing face them?

The moon is in the sky.

"In any case, now I can finally go out of the town as a general, lead an army alone, and build my own power. The long march began at the foot, and now a new chapter has been opened, although the road ahead is full of difficulties, but the rest of the heart, although nine deaths have not regretted. Hardships and hardships, Yuru is successful, even if there are more challenges, but I just fight a seven-foot body, who else will I be afraid of? Li Congjing looked up at the sky beyond Weizhou and said to himself silently.

"The world, I'm Li Congjing, here!"

Pinching the moon-shaped jade pendant, Li Congjing strode forward.
