The next day, after breakfast, Li Jin still had to be busy with military affairs for a day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as Li Jin sat down in the large camp in the army, the guards came in to report it.

"Your Excellency, Commander Li Jinshi, thirty men claiming to be your servants have come to the camp gate. They...... They rode all wildebeests. Dressed in gold armor, the cloak on his back is embroidered with a golden eagle. "One of the guards entered the tent where the meeting was taking place.

The mere mention of wildebeest is very exciting, all ten of them are wildebeest, and they are golden armor, which makes many officers surprised, and their eyes are all looking at Li Jin.

"Ha, my Eagle Guards are here, call them in."

According to Qin Xi's arrangement, Li Jin sent a letter to Su Yuyang, who was far away in Linzhou, before he came, and asked the Flying Eagle Guards to come over to help quell the riot.

It was none other than Han Li who led the team.

"Any new information?" After Li Jin asked, Han Li took out a scroll, and after reading it, handed it to Qin Xi, Qin Xi quickly read it and burned the information casually.

Then he pulled Li Jin and whispered.

I saw Li Jin pointing at Han Li, and Qin Xi pulled Han Li over and whispered something. When Qin Xi finished speaking, Han Li saluted and left the barracks with his subordinates.

"Order, officers above the battalion level come to the meeting."

At Li Jin's signal, the staff officers opened a map of the entire Dongping Province.

"When will the team that sent the prisoners of war come back?" Li Jin asked.

An officer came out of the ranks: "My lord, they have sent messengers back, and they will return tonight." After the report, the officer retreated.

The officers of this meeting were even more impressed by Li Jin, because they had just heard that the tenth team, that is, Li Jin had at least three hundred cavalry riding wildebeests, not to mention the ability of the cavalry, these three hundred wildebeest horses alone were terrifying strength.

"Okay, order the logistics battalion to prepare, prepare dinner for him when they come back, let them hurry up their rest, start the camp tomorrow morning, and camp in five places one hundred kilometers away from the provincial capital of Dongping, each camp is ten kilometers apart."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he pointed out several locations on the map.

All the officers were stunned, this way of arranging the formation seemed to be used to attack the provincial capital of Dongping, rather than for protection.

"My lord, which side should the crossbow team put on?" One of the officers asked.

Li Jin smiled, laughing badly. "And what about your opinion?"

The officer looked at Li Jin and smiled, but said very seriously: "Face Dongping Provincial City." ”

All the officers had serious expressions, and it seemed that everyone had understood this.

"Not exactly, the focus should be on between the two battalions, there will be no enemy on either side." Li Jin was referring to the position of the gap of ten kilometers between the two battalions.

Originally, the officers thought that the provincial capital of Dongping had lost control, so Li Jin moved out to besiege the provincial capital of Dongping, or it didn't look like it now, and no one understood the reason why Li Jin was so arranged.

Li Jin laughed secretly in his heart, nonsense. If Qin Xibu's array is understood by you, then you can all be the commander of the legion.

Qin Xi didn't have time to explain to Li Jin, in fact, his biggest intention in arranging the formation was to deter, and at the same time to deter the mob and Dongping. For this array, there will definitely be people who will guess the intention of this array, but they can't figure it out, but the more they think about it, the more scared they become.

"As long as everyone obeys orders, His Majesty the Emperor's reward will be very rich."

Li Jin saw everyone's confused eyes, and couldn't help but bring out the matter of the reward, and Zhang Qi's messenger had already passed back the words of His Majesty the Emperor's verbal commendation, and when Li Jin said this, everyone didn't ask any more.

Li Jin said some details before ordering everyone to disperse.

When the camp began to prepare for the camp, the girl who served Qin Xi had already prepared food and was waiting for Qin Xi to return to the camp.

"Your Excellency." The girl saluted Qin Xi respectfully.

"Get up, you don't have to kneel in the future, make a note of it." Qin Xi said softly.

The girl then stood up and put the food on the table.

"You can sit down and eat, too." Qin Xi gestured.

"Report! Your Excellency the Division Commander, Dongping Taishou Messenger asks to see. A guard suddenly shouted at the door.

Yu Hongxue, who was beside Li Jin, saw that Li Jin was only concerned about eating, and she didn't want to speak at all. Only then did he speak: "The division commander is eating, let him wait." ”

"Yes!" The guards answered and retreated.

When Li Jin finished lunch, enjoyed dessert, and drank another glass of juice, he motioned for the messenger to come in. The messenger left Dongping City on the third day after the departure of the previous messenger, and the road was a little hurried, so it arrived the day after the departure of the previous messenger.

"My lord, my lord, I think of our friendship with you, please send troops quickly." As soon as the messenger entered the tent, he fell to his knees, pleading with tears in his eyes.

Li Jin ignored the messenger as he picked fruit on his plate, and when the messenger knelt on the ground and tried to get closer to Li Jin, two guards stood in front of him with spears.

On the day that the messenger of "Lord ......" came, Dongping had already received a reply from the imperial capital, and after Dongping asked the imperial capital for help in desperation, he sent two more messengers, and the same reply could be obtained, and His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered that the matter of the riot in Dongping Province should be handled by Li Jin.

At this moment, even the military department will not order Li Jin to enter the army, not to mention that the prince is eager to let the mob kill Dongping first, and then Li Jin will arrive.

"Well, don't cry so pitifully. Go down and rest, and send out tomorrow morning. Li Jin finally chose a delicious fruit on the plate, and then he spoke.

The messenger retreated graciously.

Li Jin then ordered the guards to open two large chests, two of which were filled with gold, silver and jewelry, but one of the boxes and a small box were made of whole pieces of jade.

"My lord, it seems that Dongping is really anxious." A guard whispered, these guards all knew that Li Jin was a kind person, and they boldly said a word when they saw that there were no outsiders here.

Li Jin nodded, and grabbed two handfuls of gold beads casually: "You can divide one of these, and then send me to the battalion commanders." This little box, give it to Qin Xi. Li Jin threw two handfuls of gold beads into the guard's arms, and he had no intention of opening the small box at all.

No matter how small Li Jin's hands are, there are fifty or sixty gold beads in his two handfuls, while Li Jin's guards are only forty people, and his personal guards are only five hundred. And these guards are only ten gold coins per month for each person, and forty people can get more than one per cent.

Just when the guards were happy, Li Jin grabbed a few handfuls from the box and threw them on the ground: "These are for the people of the pro-guards." ”

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie." The guards saluted before they dared to pick up the gold from the ground.

"Quick, Lord Li Jin will pass on the commanders of each battalion." The guard who walked out of the big tent said to the door, and added a quick word. Then he opened the gold, which was wrapped in his garment, and said to the other man, "Leave forty pieces for our brothers, and give the rest to our brothers in the guard." ”

The other guard immediately unpacked his clothes and put them in for the guards to divide before finding a piece of cloth to wrap the rest.

"My lord, what do you command?" Several battalion commanders all rushed to Li Jin's big tent.

Li Jin waved his hand and pointed to the two open boxes: "These things, let's divide them for the whole army, everyone has a share." ”

"It's ......." Several battalion commanders saw that it was all gold, and they were a little afraid to take it, even if it was a reward, it was a bit much, and it would be good for ordinary soldiers to have two gold coins a month, let alone gold.

"What, is there a problem?" Li Jin didn't understand the soldiers' monthly salaries, and of course he didn't understand the thoughts of several battalion commanders.

An older battalion commander stood up: "Returning to my lord's words, the country's rewards for meritorious soldiers are very generous, and the salary of people like me is only ten taels per month, and the salary of our entire division and regiment for a year is only this box of gold, so the subordinate officers are puzzled, but they never dare to doubt your kindness." ”

"Ah, that's it!" Only then did Li Jin react, because he never cared about money, and he didn't quite understand what this box of gold represented. "No matter, I said the reward will be rewarded."

Qin Xi and the staff officers only came in at this time, and they also heard the battalion commander's words just now. Qin Xi hurriedly said, "Does Lord Li Jin mean that soldiers are not allowed to take any more loot?" ”

As soon as Li Jin heard Qin Xi speak, although he didn't understand what was wrong with grabbing the loot, since Qin Xi said it, there would be no mistake.

"Yes, that's what I mean, pass on my orders." All the battalion commanders expressed their understanding.

When everyone left, Qin Xi explained: "Young master, the two most important incomes of soldiers in the army, one is from military merit awards, and the other is the spoils of war, and this trip is different from foreign warfare, if you want to grab the spoils, what you are afraid of robbing is the people and nobles of the province, if you don't do it well, there will be a new riot, and I am afraid that there will be a river of blood when the time comes." ”

Li Jin was greatly impressed by Qin Xi's foresight, and with these rewards, the soldiers would not be able to grab the spoils of war in the future.

"Young Master Li Jin, there should be another strict order, anyone who violates your order and dares to harass the place will be beheaded." Qin Xi suggested again, Li Jin nodded: "Okay, just issue this order and send it in my name." ”

"Yes, my lord, this is what I will do."

Soon, each soldier and officer was rewarded with the equivalent of two years' salary. But immediately in each battalion, each team posted a new order by Li Jin's personal guard.

Although the soldiers have discussions, but now that they have received the reward in their hands, they have no opinions, besides, a military order is a military order, and if there is no reward, you have to listen to it, and the difference is whether you will be disgusted in your heart.

That night, Zhang Qi rushed back to the camp with wine from His Majesty the Emperor, and the soldiers he brought with him received a share of the reward.

"Seal the wine, the whole army will enter the first level of combat readiness, and it will be dispatched before dawn tomorrow morning." Li Jin's order was immediately transmitted to every corner of the camp, and all the soldiers knew that the big battle was coming, but it was not clear who the enemy would be.

The army of 30,000 cavalry opened the way, followed by infantry, logistics and engineering troops behind, 2,000 cavalry behind the palace, and another battalion of 3,000 cavalry on both sides of the line, guarding the two wings.

"Speed up the march!" The herald rode back and forth, passing Li Jin's order.

Three days later, at noon, Li Jin's army appeared a hundred kilometers outside Dongping City, and the battalions were deployed according to Li Jin's prearranged position.

"Lord Taishou, the army has arrived before the mob, but the other party's subordinates really can't understand it." In Dongping City, an officer was reporting to Dongping Taishou.

At the officer's signal, someone brought the map.

"My lord, please see, the army is divided into five battalions, of which there are 3,000 cavalry as a mobile force, guarding the main camp in the center, and from the perspective of position, not so much to protect Dongping City, not to say that it is to prepare to attack us, besides, if it is only to defend Dongping City, there are two plans."

"One is to enter the city and defend with the garrison, and the other is to directly attack the mob, judging from Li Jin's strength to eliminate nearly 100,000 thieves without killing a single person, this mob will only increase military merit." (To be continued.) )
