The cavalry of the Hundred Battles Army fought in the mountain pass after the burning of Li Dong's allied army, and the situation was a one-sided slaughter, whether it was the previous one with more strikes and fewer blows, or the later Lock Dragon Array, all ensured that the Hundred Battles Army suffered few casualties, adding up to only dozens. It was a hundred battle army gathered in Luzhou, and there were still 2,000 people.

Zezhou garrisoned 3,000 troops, and when dealing with Li Dong's coalition army before, the casualties were not small, leaving a few hundred people to defend the city, and Pei brought about 1,500 people. When the army besieged Luzhou, it was locked on all sides, and there was no door to live, just to prevent Wei Zhuo and Li Jiyuan from escaping.

The city gate was opened, Li Congjing led the army not so much to enter, but to swagger in, after the army entered the city, only a few dozen heads were collected, and the defenders in the city all surrendered - if they didn't surrender, what else could they do? There is no point in fighting any longer.

After entering the city, with the assistance of the military and civilians in Luzhou, Li Jiyuan was quickly arrested. It was Wei Zhuo, who led people out of the city and wanted to escape, but was intercepted by the army outside the city, and it took some effort to catch him and escort him into the city.

Li Congjing was in the back house, and the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army pressed these two people up, Li Congjing waved his hand, and without saying a word, he let the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army push out and cut down, and as the soldiers raised and fell, the two heads fell to the ground.

Put away the heads and put them together with Li Jitao's heads, and Li Congjing was ready to give them to Li Cunxuan. Of course, if Li Cunqiao didn't want to, he could only bury them.

After the Hundred Battles Army occupied Luzhou, because it was the military and the people who surrendered, Li Congjing did not let them disarm and take over the city defense, only letting Pei Yue watch and deal with it. The first priority at the moment is to find an authoritative person who obeys the Great Jin Dynasty to come out, as the temporary leader of Luzhou, temporarily stabilize everything in the city, and then make a future plan.

Li Congjing paced back and forth in the hall, remembered a person, and asked Guo Wei: "Last year, the old general Li Sizhao fought in Zhenzhou, and the king of Jin ordered the eldest son of the old general, Li Jiyu, to inherit his throne. ”

Guo Wei didn't think about it, and replied: "Although Li Jitao is ambitious, he is not inhumane, he just put Li Jiyan under house arrest, and Li Jiyan must still be alive at this time." ”

Li Congjing had a plan in mind, and immediately asked Guo Wei to find Li Jiyan.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Congjing called Pei Yue over, invited him to sit in the hall, served him tea, and praised him attentively: "General Pei is old and strong, Zezhou fought fiercely for more than a month, and the thief army could not go to the city for a step, not only to ensure that Zezhou is not lost, but also to enable the younger generation to calmly layout, with the old general to contain the thief army, the younger generation can conquer Huaizhou." In this battle of attacking Luzhou, the old general led the Zezhou army to fight bravely, and the credit was great, and the younger generations will play the King of Jin truthfully, and the King of Jin will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. ”

Pei Yue was drinking tea, and he almost didn't squirt out the tea in his mouth when he heard the words. Li Congjing took a bite of a "junior", which made Pei Yue extremely uncomfortable, not to mention that Li Congjing praised his merits, he was an honest person, and he couldn't stand this. Putting down the teacup and wiping his mouth, Pei Yue smiled bitterly: "General Li has something to say, but what he said is, there is no need to do this, it is difficult for the old man to endure it." ”

Mo Li, who was standing next to him, shook the folding fan, walked out of the door with a chuckle, and told the soldiers outside the door to be lively. He changed back into his white robe, and returned to his previous personable appearance.

Li Congjing rubbed his hands, also chuckled, and said very seriously: "The old general must know that the new Huaizhou of the Hundred Battles Army can be regarded as expanding the territory for the Great Jin. The king of Jin is not called the emperor in the future, which is also a congratulatory gift given to the king of Jin by the younger generation and the old general, after the defeat of Li Jitao. However, on the side of Huaizhou, there is a pseudo-Liang Mengzhou eyeing the city, and it is very likely that I will attack the city while my foothold in Huaizhou is not stable and the city defense has not yet been repaired. If so, the Hundred Battles Army is in danger. ”

Pei Yue nodded seriously and muttered, "This is the truth, so how is General Li going to deal with it?" ”

"I'm going to ask the old general for help." Li Congjing said with a smile, the laughter sounded to Pei Yue, and he was in danger, "In the New Calendar War, Huaizhou City is not well defended, and the equipment is insufficient, so to guard against the enemy of Mengzhou, you have to supplement some equipment." I have a very sufficient ordnance in Luzhou, presumably prepared by Li Jitao before. The younger generation wants to trouble the old general and transport these ordnance to Huaizhou for me! ”

Pei Yue was startled and said, "General Li ......"

"General Pei!" Li Congjing interrupted Pei Yue loudly and pressed his words back into his stomach, "I will report this matter to King Jin, and I will not embarrass General Pei, please ask General Pei to read that it is not easy for thousands of soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army to fight, and this time for the sake of rescuing Zezhou, help me again!" ”

When Li Congjing captured the towns under the jurisdiction of Luzhou, he did not let go of the ordnance in it, and after collecting it, he took it away. It's just that Pei Yue is on his side, and he must ask Pei Yue's consent. He did play Li Cunqiao in this matter, but what he said in writing about requisitioning some ordnance and what Li Congjing actually looted, the gap can be so big, how could Pei Yue not know?

It was written that a number of horses would be requisitioned, and Li Congjing would dare to transport all the horses in the city, and that he would dare to move the Luzhou treasury if he borrowed a certain amount of money. Anyway, nominally, these materials will be used in Huaizhou, and besides-I even beat Huaizhou, do these are for you Li Cunqiao to defend the territory and defend the territory, you Li Cunqiao called the emperor the emperor, and you have to be stingy with these small profits?

But Li Congjing can be "pampered and arrogant", and borrow the materials of Dajin to build his own team, but Pei Yue can't ignore the impact, so Li Congjing will say that the righteousness is awe-inspiring.

Li Congjing's new occupation of Huaizhou will undoubtedly strengthen the Hundred Battles Army in Huaizhou, and the difference is the armor and ordnance, how can he put the ready-made treasury in Luzhou at this moment, and not hurry up to loot?

Pei Yue frowned and pondered, and tore off a lot of beards, and then slowly asked, "Why didn't General Li do it himself, but asked the old man to help?" ”

Li Congjing saw Pei Yue say this, knowing that he acquiesced, it was really in vain, and he gave the reason: "Military report, Mengzhou is reorganizing the army, I am afraid that he will attack Huaizhou in the future, so I have to lead the cavalry to rush back to ...... first."

"So ......" Pei Yue made up his mind and finally agreed, "For the sake of you and I fighting side by side, we are both ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and we should do our best for the sake of the country, so it will depend on you." However, the soldiers and civilians of Zezhou sacrificed a lot to deal with the thief army this time, and they also hoped that General Li would truthfully play the king of Jin, so as not to make the king of Jin treat them badly. ”

Li Congjing is the person in charge of resolving the Zelu incident, and he is very operable in how to report the military newspaper. There is no shortage of people with outstanding military achievements on the battlefield, and there is no shortage of people with low military achievements, and the key to obtaining high-ranking officials and honors lies in how the main general reports his military merits.

"This is nature, old general, rest assured!" Li Congjing was overjoyed and bowed deeply, "Thank you to the old general." ”

After getting Pei Yue, Li Congjing immediately called Meng Ping and Li Shaocheng and asked them to do this matter, and count the armor and equipment as soon as possible, so that Pei Yue could transport it in time.

After a while, Li Jiyan was brought up.

Li Jiyu's appearance in the age of not being confused, after saluting, stood respectfully in front of Li Congjing, did not dare to look directly at Li Congjing, and his clothes were quite neat.

Li Congjing looked at Li Jiyan, saw that there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and wondered if he had just cried for Li Jitao?

This guy is a little cowardly, he was seized by his younger brother and put under house arrest, I don't know how he feels, he shouldn't have much ability - however, Zhao Kuangyin was also killed by his younger brother and seized power, can it be said that Zhao Taizu is incapable?

Li Congjing beckoned Li Jiyu to sit down, thinking that he was his enemy who killed his brother, and his heart was a little weird, so he didn't plan to say much to him, and said slowly: "Old General Li has been guarding Zelu for many years, and the town army in both places has promoted him, treating him as his parents, and now the old general is unfortunately in battle, this Luzhou should have been in power for you, the day before yesterday, Li Jitao committed rebellion, defected to the enemy and treason, causing you to be in prison, and now Li Jitao has been ambushed, so that you can see the light of day again." ”

"This envoy can't stay in Luzhou for a long time, but this Luzhou can't be left unattended for a day, this envoy has the right to control Zelu, and now you are temporarily reinstated as the governor of Luzhou, you should assist General Pei to restore peace in Luzhou as soon as possible." As for what will happen in Luzhou in the future, King Jin will naturally have instructions, and there is no need to repeat it. ”

The reason why Li Jiyu was found out was because he was easier to control, and secondly, he was the son of Li Sizhao after all, and Li Sizhao was still there, and he could also use this to help Pei Yue control some of the soldiers in Luzhou.

When Li Jiyu heard this, his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know if he thought of the dead Li Sizhao and Li Jitao, so he left his seat in tears and promised him.

Li Congjing didn't want to see Li Jiyu crying, so he waved his hand and asked people to take it down.

That night, before Li Congjing rested, he wrote a report to Li Cunqiao to inform him of Zelu's affairs; At the same time, write an order to send the rangers back to Qimen, and recruit Wei Xingming's father and son, Wang Buqi, Zhang Ziyun and others, and rush to Huaizhou to take important positions.

Of course, the latter matter was also mentioned in the report to Li Cunqing, and I think Li Cunqiao has no reason to disagree.

The next day, Li Congjing inspected the loot of the Hundred Battles Army, and saw that all the soldiers were digging three feet into the ground, and immediately felt very satisfied.

Near noon, a messenger came from Huaizhou to report: Mengzhou Liang Army, send 5,000 troops to attack Huaizhou.

Liang Guo's Heyang Festival envoy sat in Mengzhou, and it was the Heyang Army who came to invade Huaizhou this time.

The Hundred Battles Army is now in Huaizhou, with about 3,000 people. When Li Congjing left the city that day, the casualties caused by the siege to the Hundred Battles Army, the specific number has not yet been counted, but Li Congjing knew in his heart that it was about five hundred, and the bulk was in the Luzhou Town Army, and the casualties of the Hundred Battles Army Headquarters were not too large.

Now the person in charge of the Hundred Battles Army in Huaizhou is Peng Zushan and Wei Dao. Peng Zushan, the arm of Li Siyuan, a general in the army, Wei Dao was the secretary of the Zhaoyi Army, and his skills are not bad. With the two of them and more than 1,000 war troops, plus the help of temporary war camps, they should not be afraid of the Liang army.

However, Huaizhou Xinke, when the Hundred Battles Army attacked the city, the damage to the city defense was too great, and it had not had time to repair it, and the defensive equipment was also insufficient; And Huaizhou has been a Liang land for a long time, and it is unknown whether the residents in the city will be in turmoil, and the Liang army outside the city should be combined with the outside.

The next day, Li Congjing led the 2,000 horse army of the Hundred Battles Army back to Huaizhou.
