Chapter 128: The Night of the Full Moon

Zhang Liang thinks that he is erudite and talented, and he can never be reused, and at this time, someone wants to listen to his own opinions, and his spirit is shocked

"Young Master Li Jin, there are now four kinds of forces in the DPRK, if the forces are divided into ten, then the prince's faction will occupy four, followed by the military department of the DPRK and the central government accounting for three, and the supporters of the second prince accounting for two, and the next is the completely neutral faction headed by the prime minister, accounting for one percent of the strength.

Zhang Liang is not only smart, but also knows how to observe words and feelings, he heard Qin Xi call Young Master Li Jin, and guessed that this was his own honorific title for Li Jin, so he simply called Young Master as well, which invisibly narrowed the relationship with Li Jin.

Li Jin heard about this kind of thing for the first time, and he held his head with great interest, his eyes stared at Zhang Liang, and Qin Xi had been away for too long, and he also wanted to hear about the current situation, Yu Hongxue didn't care very much, just listened to the excitement, he listened to Li Jin everything.

"Does Young Master Li Jin know where he is now?" Zhang Liang asked softly.

"Ah, and my place, I'm just a little person, hehe." Li Jin laughed.

Zhang Liang didn't laugh, but said calmly: "Young Master Li Jin, you are wrong, the matter between you and Her Royal Highness the Princess is no longer a secret, I heard that you call the Minister of the Right Prime Minister your uncle, and you are now the head of the division, with more than 30,000 soldiers, and you also gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a wildebeest unique to the wilderness, all your current strength should be co-opted by the three factions except the Right Minister, and where to go depends on your decision." ”

"This ...... I didn't think about it. Li Jin directly said his thoughts.

Zhang Liang thought to himself that this was the case, if Li Jin had thought about it, he would not have been dealing with several factions at the same time, and Li Jin was not the kind of person who was scheming.

"If the adult wants to choose to live a relaxed life, or wait and see what happens, the villain has a suggestion."

Li Jin waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Liang to continue.

"My lord, now since the rebellion in Dongping Province, all states and provinces are recruiting a large number of soldiers, it seems that in order to maintain the security of the state and province, but in fact, it is not, the national regular army has four major legions, as well as the Royal Knights, a total of three million soldiers and horses capable of fighting, one of which is 18,000 people, and only Lord Li Jin's corps has more than 30,000 people for special reasons, and the border generals each have 150,000 soldiers and horses, or even more, the states and provinces are now recruiting a large number of soldiers, and the number of their escorts is no longer tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands."

Zhang Liang suddenly stopped when he said this, because he found that Qin Xi's eyes were wrong, and the armrest of the chair was shattered by Qin Xi's hand.

As a general in the north, Qin Xi of course knew that the states and provinces had such a number of troops to the imperial power, although he did not dare to say that he was self-reliant, but it would also create great pressure on the country, and to put it more terrifyingly, if the state and province guards did not listen to the emperor's orders, the emperor would have nothing to do, and his own Qin State would not be destroyed because of this.

Li Jin also noticed Qin Xi's expression and pressed his hand on Qin Xi's hand.

"Young Master Li Jin, this situation is just speculation by the villain, if it really happens one day, I'm afraid it will be ten years later, and now the villain's opinion is that in order to preserve his strength, Young Master Li Jin can split Dongping Province and turn this place into dozens of independent cities, and Young Master Li Jin, with the credit of quelling the riot, you can also get a city, if there is one day, at least you can protect yourself."

Before Li Jin and Qin Xi could speak, Yu Hongxue's face showed a trace of disdain, "Young Master, I think this matter can be discussed with the family." ”

Zhang Liang always thought that Yu Hongxue was just a guard, but he didn't expect Yu Hongxue to suddenly speak.

"That's right, leave all the things that use your brains to our dog-headed military master, let him have a headache, hehe, this is a good idea, I accept it."

Zhang Liang first looked at Yu Hongxue in surprise, and then began to tell his detailed plan.

Early the next morning, Zhang Liang, accompanied by Zhang Qi's adjutant, left the city with a hundred cavalry under the banner of Li Jin.

"Lord of the city, I want to ask you for someone."

When Li Jin also accompanied the city lord for breakfast early in the morning, he asked Zhang Liang to come and say, for this kind of little person, of course the city lord would not introduce it, and he was willing to send it.

Li Jin waved his hand and motioned for his guards to withdraw from the door, and the city lord was not stupid, so he immediately let his guards leave.

"My lord, you have to collect eighty percent of your monthly taxes here, right?" Li Jin heard this number from Zhang Liang.

The city lord nodded, "It's seventy out of five, but fifty percent of Lord Taishou has to be handed over to the imperial court." The lord of the castle gave the exact number.

Li Jin laughed: "Fifty percent!?" Hahaha, Zhao Jie, this old guy, only has three transactions to the imperial court, and one percent of them is still for the second prince. ”

For the first time, Li Jin did not use an honorific title to address Zhao Jie in front of outsiders.

The city lord was stunned at the time, although he knew that Zhao Jie had made false accounts and falsely reported taxes, but he didn't expect that there was so much difference, and what was even more surprising was that Li Jin was not polite to Zhao Jie at all, was he really ready to deal with Taishou? Thinking of this, the city lord asked, "Commander Li Jinshi, if I cooperate with you, what will I do and what benefits can I get." ”

Li Jin was secretly happy in his heart, and it was really the same as Zhang Liang predicted.

"The tax money you will hand over to the state in the future is only fifty percent, what you have to do is to prepare evidence, and then let me arrest Zhao Jie justifiably."

"Is this what His Majesty the Emperor meant?" The city lord really didn't understand why Li Jin was dealing with Zhao Jie.

The smile on Li Jin's face disappeared instantly, and he said coldly: "This is what I mean." ”

Li Jin put the sword and gold medal given by the emperor on the table, and the city lord hurriedly knelt down and saluted the gold medal and sword.

"Fifty percent of the tax, Lord Li Jin's words count."

"Count, what guarantee do you need, let's sign a contract."

After Li Jin finished speaking, the city lord was dizzy for a while, how could he dare to sign a contract for this kind of private transaction, and hurriedly agreed.

When the city lord took out the evidence he had prepared a long time ago, as well as the list, he also wrote a report on Taishou Zhao Jie and the reason for the riot was mainly from Taishou Zhao Jie. Li Jin had already prepared an analysis report on this incident, and the two copies were combined, and Li Jin sent these things to the right prime minister Jia Tu in person.

"Commander Li Jinshi, when are you going to do it?"

"The night of the full moon." Li Jin said these four words with a smile.

The city lord calculated, there were still five days, and when he was about to ask what else he needed to do, Li Jin said again: "I'm going back to the barracks, guard your city well, and find all the people who escaped from Zhao Jie, and lock them all up for me." ”

"Then I wish the head of Li Jinshi's banner a victory."

The lord of the city asked someone to bring a gift for Li Jin, and Li Jin rode away and returned to the barracks that night.

"Pass my order, and all battalion commanders and above will come to my tent for a meeting." Li Jin's horse hadn't stopped, and he always shouted at the guards.

When Li Jin returned to the big tent, he was surprised to find that Zhao Jie, the Taishou guard, was actually in his tent.

Zhao Jie saw Li Jin and hurriedly stood up, "Commander Li Jin, you can wait for me in a hurry, you don't come to my city to rest when you come, you are busy with military affairs all day long." ”

Li Jin reacted immediately to this unexpected encounter, "Lord Taishou, then I'll go to the city to rest tonight, please." ”

Li Jin said to Qin Xi again, "Tell them for me that I am going to rest in the city and let them manage the soldiers well." ”

Qin Xi looked down at the two of them going out, and then gestured to one of the Flying Eagle's guards, who immediately rode out of the barracks from the other direction.

After Li Jin and Taishou Zhao Jie left, although now Li Jin can't tell whether this Taishou is a real body or a stand-in, but it is necessary to enter the city, Li Jin brought three thousand soldiers, including five hundred cavalry and five hundred crossbowmen, all of which were carefully selected, and the four people from the Wu Zhuangyuan Rookie Competition were also brought in.

Many officers led by Zhang Qi also came to Li Jin's big tent.
