Chapter 6 What the rest of the heart wants
Compared with the previous roar, Li Congjing's last sentence was undoubtedly much calmer. It's just that these words fell on everyone's hearts, causing a wave of waves, and also made everyone present remember the three words Li Congjing and remember this young man covered in blood.
The news of the killing of the enemy's main general spread rapidly, and the battle immediately came to an end.
The commander from Ma Zhidu spat bloody spit on the ground, looked at the figure on the horse from afar, and said fiercely: "What a fucking kind!" ”
On the upper floor of Weizhou City, the white-haired general Wu Jingzhong's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
Only Li Cunmiao laughed at this time and said: "My Jin army has one more general today!" ”
Li Shaorong saw the young man who was carrying a man's head and galloping back from a distance, and couldn't help but think: "This son is no less than his father Li Siyuan!" ”
Li Cunqiao did not enter Weizhou City immediately, but immediately appeared in front of the city, waiting for Li Congjing to ride his horse back. Behind him, many generals and officials followed his gaze and looked at the blood-stained Congma Sergeant in front of him.
The willow leaf armor on Li Congjing's body has been damaged in many places, and a large piece in front of him is like a hanging strip of cloth, no matter how you look at it, it is embarrassing, like a dog's tail flower.
"Cong Jing Xing is not dishonored, and he brings back Zhang Lang's head." Li Congjing turned over and dismounted, holding up Zhang Lang's dead head.
Li Cunmiao waved his hand to let Li Shaorong put away the head, and stepped forward to help Li Congjing, he naturally didn't dare to accept this big gift, and hurriedly got up.
"Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog." Li Cunmiao looked relieved, "I gave this king a long face." ”
The people who followed behind Li Cunmiao naturally echoed one after another, praising Li Congjing as a young hero, and saying that Li Cunmiao had a good eye for people, and finally did not forget to mention how to destroy Liang in the near future.
"Yesterday the king said that if you can get the head of the enemy, you will be rewarded heavily. If you live up to the king's expectations today, the king will naturally fulfill his promise. Li Cunmiao stroked his beard and said, "You are now in the ninth rank, kill the enemy's main general, this king will promote you by three levels, and appoint you as the deputy commander of the horse, and the official will be the eighth grade." ”
Among the ten thousand troops, the first rank of the enemy general was promoted to the third level, Li Congjing was not very happy in his heart, this can be regarded as a low credit, the commander is the commander of a battalion, a battalion of five capitals, for five hundred people, and Li Congjing is still an adjutant. It's just that further up, ten commanders are one army, and the commander of one army is the commander of the all, which is the general in the army.
"Xie Jin King Grace." Li Congjing said with a little joy, no matter what, it is always a good thing to be promoted, and it is not in vain for him to work hard.
"King Jin is wise." Wu Jingzhong took a step forward at this time, and said with a smile, "It's just the King of Jin, according to the law, the main general of the enemy army can be the commander of a thousand soldiers, and the deputy commander Li is young and promising. Moreover, Deputy Commander Li made it criss-crossed the chaotic army and beheaded countless people, if only eight products were sealed, I am afraid that the army would not accept it! ”
Li Congjing glanced at the white-haired general, and wondered in his heart, who is this guy, I don't know Lao Tzu, why do you help me speak for no reason? But it really goes to my heart...... Looks like this old guy is a good guy!
Li Cunqiao waved his hand, which was regarded as an answer to Wu Jingzhong, and asked Li Congjing seemingly casually: "Congjing, this king has appointed you as the deputy commander, can you be convinced?" ”
Even if Li Congjing is no longer sensible and has some thoughts in his heart, he will not show it at this time, and immediately said: "Congjing can have today, thanks to the promotion of King Jin, today's big victory, all rely on King Jin to control the overall situation, and all the soldiers fight hard." As for killing Zhang Lang, who can't I do from Sergeant Ma Zhi? From the small work of Jingqu, he was promoted to the deputy commander, he was already afraid, but he was worried about living up to the expectations of the king of Jin, how could he not accept it? ”
After Li Congjing finished speaking, he saw Li Cunqiao nodding, but he was quite satisfied, and secretly pouted in his heart. At this time, when he came into contact with Wu Jingzhong's eyes looking at him with a smile, he immediately returned a smile.
The crowd didn't want to stay here for long, so they hugged Li Cunqiao into the city.
Li Congjing stood by the river bridge of the moat, looking at the messy battlefield full of corpses in front of him, his eyes were a little tired in the lazy afternoon sun. In that battle for his life, although he performed heroically, after the battle, he was exhausted. The wandering between life and death is the most exhausting of people's spirits, but it also makes people grow.
"After today, Commander Li is afraid that his prestige will spread far and wide, which is gratifying." Li Shaorong smiled and congratulated.
Li Congjing didn't expect Li Shaorong to not enter the city, so he returned the salute and said modestly: "General Li don't make fun of it." ”
Li Shaorong stood with his sword in his hand, and also looked at the ruined battlefield in front of him, and his voice came into Li Congjing's ears lightly: "Commander Li commanded the head of the enemy general in the chaotic army, and he died nine times during the fight, but he was only promoted to the third level of the official, can you know why?" ”
Li Congjing just wondered why Li Shaorong, as Li Cunqing's cronie, didn't follow Li Congjing into the city, so he said solemnly: "General Li asks me." ”
Li Shaorong was not hypocritical, and said lightly: "The whole world belongs to the King of Jin, how can the King of Jin be stingy with a six- or seven-grade official?" It's just that Commander Li is still young, and he has not yet reached the crown, and he has no prestige before, and his foundation is still shallow. This time the King of Jin was for the sake of Commander Li, and Commander Li should have experienced the hard work of King Jin. ”
Hearing the words, Li Congjing was shocked, and only felt that his back was cold.
Li Shaorong continued: "However, Commander Li is obviously sensible, and if you answer King Jin's words, King Jin must be very satisfied. As long as the King of Jin loves him, Commander Li is still afraid that he will not have a bright future? The battle was not over yet, and Li dared to assert that in the future, there would be an opportunity for Li to make meritorious contributions. ”
Li Congjing bowed in the direction of Li Cunqing's entry into the city, thanked him, and said to Li Shaorong: "Thank you General Li for your mention, he will be rewarded in the future." He remembered the words of the white-haired general before, and at first he thought that this guy was talking for himself, but then he realized that this guy was obviously uneasy and kind!
This world is really dangerous, there are open guns and hidden arrows on the battlefield, and the same is true under the battlefield, it is really terrifying every step. Although Li Congjing didn't know why the old man wanted to harm him, he also knew that it was difficult to say whether there was a true gentleman in this world, but there would never be a shortage of villains.
As for Li Shaorong, as Li Cunxuan's confidant, who does he not do this kind of thing that makes his subordinates understand the leader's intentions and makes his subordinates stay in awe of the leader? As a confidant of King Jin, he and King Jin have almost a relationship of glory and humiliation. And Li Cunqiao will also see his performance.
"The situation of this troubled world is really worrying!" Li Congjing secretly laughed at himself.
After Li Shaorong left, it didn't take long for someone to come and spread the word, asking Li Congjing to hurry up and see King Jin.
Li Cunmiao didn't plan to stay in Weizhou for long, so he stayed in the Weizhou Assassin's Mansion for a while. When Li Congjing saw Li Cunqing, Li Cunqiao was looking at a picture of the public opinion.
"Congjing, this king has two good and bad news to tell you, which one do you listen to first?" Li Cunqiao saw Li Congjing come in, and smiled a little mysteriously.
Li Congjing's contact with Li Cunmiao has not been short, this King of Jin not only has a natural talent, but his personality charm is even more convincing, a simple single sentence can get rid of the stereotypical relationship between monarchs and ministers, so that Li Congjing can feel Li Cunqing's closeness to him.
Li Congjing sometimes feels that Li Cunqiao is his current role model - a man's maturity often starts from looking up at another man's back.
"King Jin first, tell me the bad news?" Li Congjing said tentatively.
Li Cunmiao smiled slightly, and his expression gradually teased, "Congjing, you know, today's battle is smooth, and the Liang army fled from the wind, so I didn't suffer many casualties from Ma Zhi." Speaking of this, Li Cunmiao paused, and couldn't help but smile: "In other words, in this army, there is no vacancy for the post of deputy commander now!" ”
"......" Li Congjing suddenly felt that 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart - when Lao Tzu was promoted to the team, there was no vacancy from the horse, and now Lao Tzu has been promoted to deputy commander, there is still no vacancy in the army, do you dare to fuck again...... A little nephew?
"And what about the good news?" Li Congjing tried to make his tone sound calm and unpredictable.
"This time, the Liang army took advantage of the fact that our army crossed the river when it went north to conquer the Khitan, and successively captured our Weizhou, Xiangzhou, Acropolis, Qimen and other places, resulting in the west of Lanyuan and the south of Xiangzhou, all of which were occupied by the Liang people. This time, the king returned to the division and recovered Weizhou in a battle, but the Liang army in the south and other places has not yet retreated, and there must still be war. ”
As he spoke, Li Cunmiao's sinister smile appeared on his face as an uncle abducting and selling children, "This time, the king will lead a large army from Xiangzhou to Weizhou, and the Liang army of Weicheng, Qimen and other towns will be handed over to you to clean up." At that time, as many Liang troops can be captured, they will all be under your command. If you can get a thousand, this king will not mind giving you the title of commander first. Not only that, but how many people you capture, this king will allocate the same number of elite Jin troops to you, so that you can become the chief general of the army - such favorable conditions, are you willing to go? ”
Li Congjing opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
What kind of combat power does it have from a horse? It was one of the best in the world. What is the combat power of the Liang army? It's hard to say bad, but those Liang Jun who are about to run away when they see Li Cunmiao, what kind of combat power do they have? It has nothing to do with force.
Lao Tzu is also relying on military merits, and he has become the deputy commander of Ma Zhi, and you don't let Lao Tzu take this good steel from Ma Zhi, let Lao Tzu take Liang Jun's broken iron?
But after thinking about it, Li Congjing's mood calmed down again.
In the long run, Li Congjing knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the troubled times, he must build his own army, and instead of recruiting troops from the common people at that time, it would be too much stronger to choose these regular troops of the Liang army. After all, there is no need to spend too much time on training, and these Liang Sixth Army, as forbidden troops, have better combat power than ordinary town troops and township soldiers.
It can be said that capturing Liang Bing and transforming Liang Bing was Li Congjing's first step in establishing his own power. Li Congjing thought to himself, besides, Li Cunqiao would transfer the same amount of Jin troops to himself, it would not be bad. It's just that it seems that if he wants to capture Liang Jun next, he will win the battle, so what about the credit for this victory? No one counts!
"Damn, it's really not these high-ranking old foxes." Li Congjing slandered in his heart.
It's just that why did Li Cunqiao do this?
Li Congjing couldn't think clearly for a while.
He didn't expect for a moment that the Jin army had been fighting for years, the soldiers had died on the battlefield, the people had been displaced, and the population of the Jin land had been greatly reduced, which could no longer meet the needs of the Jin army. In order to expand the strength of the Jin army and march into the Central Plains, it was Li Cunmiao's established policy to capture the Liang army.
"Dare to ask the King of Jin, this time to march into the Acropolis and Qimen, how much does the King of Jin give to the last general?" After Li Congjing thought it through, he was most concerned about this core issue.
Li Cunmiao proudly held up a finger.
Li Congjing was overjoyed, and said in his heart: If Li Cunqiao gives me 1,000 from the horse, no matter how bad I am, I can capture 35800 Liang troops in each of the two cities, right? Doesn't that mean that I have more than a thousand soldiers and horses in my hands in an instant? The commander can only lead 500 troops, so won't Li Cunqiao have to give me a hat as a commander at that time? No matter how bad it is, it's all waiting for something...... If so, the future is bright! Yes, it seems that Li Cunqing, a cheap uncle, still loves my cheap nephew very much......
"If the king of Jin can give his ministers a thousand from Ma Zhi, the ministers will definitely bring all the Liang troops of the Acropolis and Qimen under his command, and no one will fall!" Li Congjing rubbed his hands, a little difficult to hide his excitement, as if he had seen thousands of troops and horses lined up neatly in front of him, shouting Li Du's commander.
"A thousand straight from a horse?" This time, Li Cunqiao was stunned, and then laughed, "Stinky boy, what do you think?" This king is saying, "Give you a hundred straight from the horse." ”
"What?!" Li Congjing was struck by lightning.
