Chapter 109: Defense on the Eastern Front

At present, in the east of the entire Shenchi, only Yuan Ping still has a team, and Chunxian County has stationed two teams, a total of about 300 people, led by Ning You, but this bit of soldiers and horses, once something happens, it is bound to be difficult to preserve, and in Chun County, there are still six or seven hundred military households and court officials, once the official army comes to attack, the consequences are unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Li Jing had a great headache, rubbing his stiff forehead from time to time, and Zhang Erma, who began to act as a personal guard next to him, had good eyesight, and hurried up, "My lord, are you tired?" Why don't you go and rest for a while? ”

"It doesn't matter." When Li Jing heard this, he was a little relieved, this official and military background is now temporarily submissive to himself, although it is the loyalty of the silver and land temporarily exchanged, but it is better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Li Jing's mood was finally relieved, but he looked at the tattered Ming army robe on Zhang Erma's body, and his heart was a little touched, and when he turned his head, he felt a thrill in his heart, and suddenly remembered something, and said urgently, "Who did you come to suppress the civil unrest this time?" Are there any other soldiers coming? ”

Zhang Erma was almost frightened by Li Jing's appearance, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he said everything he knew, "We are biased to follow the Shanxi Dusi Xingwen, and join the other offices to dispatch together, and only halfway to meet the soldiers and horses led by General Hu Shen, I heard that the Datong Mansion in the east also mobilized all the way to the south." ”

When he said this, Li Jing's heart shook wildly, and he directly interrupted him, "Are you sure?!" ”

"It's all about listening to the side army's gossip, if you don't believe it, you can call a few people from the border army to come and ask, it sounds like a person has been mobilized to guard the road, and Daizhou goes directly south, if it's ......" Just speaking of this, Zhang Erma is inevitably a little embarrassed, he was an official soldier earlier, and now he is a bandit, so it is naturally difficult to explain it thoroughly.

But this meaning, Li Jing can be regarded as hearing it, and he glanced at him, and he didn't blame it, isn't it the so-called official army advancing east and west, annihilating his own family in one fell swoop? But if this really happens, I'm afraid I'm really in a catastrophe.

Thinking about the combat effectiveness under the command of Hu Dawei, his own family did not even dare to fight, and fled for forty miles directly after hearing the news, and almost all the main forces were concentrated in ambush, so they barely annihilated this official army, but if there was an elite imperial court border army on the way to the battle or before, then there would be no other way unless they were defeated.

But what Li Jing really can't figure out is, what about this official army? Anyway, the troops of thousands of people are heading south, and there should always be a movement, right? You must know that delaying the military plane even in the Ming Court is a felony of killing the head, as long as the general who leads the troops is not a fool, he should always understand, so according to what Zhang Erma said, where is this army that is going south from the east now? !

In this way, I was not at ease, so I directly sent someone down to directly inquire in detail about the group of border soldiers who were temporarily imprisoned, and sent back a good news, and by the way, a news that worried Li Jing the most.

The good news is that these border troops, the military salary has not been paid in full, the court is in arrears for more than three months, they are all captured at the moment, plus even Hu Dawei is called to hold it, and suddenly lost hope, and seeing that Li Jing's move is not ambiguous, all of them promise to pay the field, except for the ordinary sergeants who are in charge of the family, all want to beg for a way to live, and they also want to follow Li Jing.

The bad news is that the official army is indeed advancing from east to west, and a general who is guarding the road is transferred from Datong Mansion, and 1,200 troops are commanded to go south.

After the news, the frightened Li Jing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, it's okay, it's okay! Even God bless himself, this group of officers and soldiers actually did not know where to go, and failed to join the battlefield in time, otherwise no matter where they fought, their own family would not be spared, fortunately.

But when I came back to my senses, it was still inappropriate, a border army of more than 1,000 people, near my own house, even if they would not attack for a while, but it was always a threat, and the official army lost the army on the West Road, but after all, the foundation is thick, there are more than 100,000 registered soldiers in one of the three towns alone, and if you transfer a few guards at will, you can't carry it, and now you should quickly move eastward to eliminate this official army.

However, what made Li Jing dumbfounded was that the news came too late, and all his main forces were sent out, besides, this God-given opportunity, if he didn't seize the gap between the empty defense of the officers and soldiers, there would no longer be such an opportunity in the future.

"That's it, let's take the guard battalion eastward." Li Jing thought hard for a while, directly dropped this sentence, and didn't think about it anymore, now he has two new guards under his command, a veteran is close to more than 700 people, and the Shenchi garrison camp has 600 people, plus the border army praying for submission, there can be a small 2,000 together, and then Zhao Mosheng and Ning You's department may not be the opponent of the official army.

"Li Anong, blow the rallying cry and gather the troops!" With just this sentence, Li Jing quickly shouted outside......

"Boy Li Jing, Chunxian people's clan, because of the land tax dispute for the big clan is not tolerated, they collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, rampant can't, the kid is oppressed in every way, crying and complaining, forced to last resort, in order to protect himself, raise troops to get rid of the evil spirits, but honest and fearful, every day is not peaceful, now I hear that the general led the troops to crusade, I don't want to resist the heavenly army, helpless left and right are afraid of the court to ask for guilt, hastily meet the battle, offend the general Huwei, and hope to forgive!"

In a very luxuriously decorated main room in the back room of the county government, Li Jing said to Hu Dawei with a sincere face, since Hu Dawei was captured yesterday, he was seriously injured, Li Jing regarded him as a strange commodity to live in, a dignified and captured general, used to communicate with the court, pray for peace, is the best bridge.

In this way, not only did not kill him, but took more care of him, not only forcibly invited the best Langzhong in this county, but also deliberately placed him here, just sent people to monitor and guard, and never let him have a chance to escape, I look forward to one day, I can pass through Hu Dawei, take the line of Shanxi Dusi, and give myself a tiger skin to wear, then bury my head in farming, develop armaments, and accumulate strength.

No, before leaving, Li Jing came to visit Hu Dawei, but when he saw him coming in, he turned his face sideways and ignored him, obviously extremely disdainful of his own family.

But Li Jing doesn't care, it's just a defeat, if it weren't for this person to take the line of Shanxi Dusi, his own family wouldn't have the time to take care of him, so, be careful with a smiling face, come up and say this, Hu Dawei heard it, didn't this mud leg want to surrender his own family? Hum! There are no doors.

Li Jing saw him bury his head in the quilt, obviously knowing that he had heard something, so he simply said bluntly, "I am a small people, just want to live in peace, but forced by current events, to this day, it is a decision to turn back, today I am fortunate to see the general, in order to survive, I came to ask for advice, and asked the general to write a letter and send it to the imperial court. ”

Besides, Li Jing's command is full of troops, and there are less than 10,000 people, and where did the 50,000 or 60,000 come from, it is nothing more than bragging to scare the court and arouse their fear.

"Really?" Hu Dawei didn't want to continue to deal with Li Jing, but when he heard this, he turned his head and looked forward to it......

"Hmph, the general of the imperial court, what's the matter, isn't he also a layman, worried that the news of his capture will be blamed by the court, isn't it strange that he fell into my trap?" Li Jing held a letter in his hand with disdain, only read it once, and then put it away, this letter was written by Li Jing to find a scribe, and the back was stamped with the seal of Hu Dawei's general.

It was written that Li Jing, a righteous soldier of Chunxian County, was willing to lead the army to take refuge in the imperial court, and under Li Jing's special instructions, the news of Hu Dawei's defeat was erased, but it was only said that the battle heard that Li Jing had defected to the imperial court, and in order to prevent the cholera of the sword soldiers, it was hereby reported, looking forward to the imperial court to deal with Yunyun as soon as possible......

Half an hour after Li Jing sent this letter, the five hundred troops and the personal guards released from the prison, and one of the Shenchi garrison camps, marched towards Chunxian in a mighty way.

On the way to the army, Li Jing ordered the scouts to rush to Chunxian first, strictly ordered Ning You to lead the army to strictly guard the city, wait for the convergence with his own family, and sent people to Wutai and his party, instructing Zhao Mosheng to remind Zhao Mosheng to quickly lead the army to join his own family, and resist the eastern front attack that the official army may come at any time......
