"It seems that we have finally played a role in Shandong. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the top of the royal tomb, before the Buddha light of Huiji Temple in the past, Li Jing looked at the compassionate Buddha statue indifferently, and said a word to Wei Xiaobao, who had been with him for more than 20 days.

"Isn't it, these shadows in the past, it's not bad to spread a word and bring a letter,"

The people below have done a good job, Wei Xiaobao naturally has a light on his face, besides, if the chaos in Shandong is not resolved, the court will not be able to deal with them for a day, this is the most important thing.

"By the way, how is the investigation of the current situation in Shanxi?"

Li Jing took a stick of incense, lit it and raised it, and then sincerely worshiped the Buddha statue, after all, this is where he started.

Wei Xiaobao blinked, and immediately took out a yellow book from his arms, and didn't read it, and handed it over directly, but unfortunately was waved back by Li Jing, "You read it to me." ”

As he spoke, he bowed to the Buddha statue again.

"The situation is very bad, the spies in Weili made a little total, and showed it to the senators and clerks of the General Staff Department, and they unanimously decided that if we did not send troops, the official army of the imperial court in Shanxi would not be enough to quell the rebellion."

"Oh? How about the ones I asked you to focus on? ”

Li Jing nodded slightly, this is similar to the situation he predicted, the rogue is strong, the mobility is strong, anyway, the official army will run when it comes, and if it can't run away, it will go into the mountain, anyway, drag the official army around, and there are few officers and soldiers, and there are many rogues.

The official army was in Liaozhou, and the main force of the Liukou went to Lu'an Mansion, and the official army chased to Lu'an Mansion, and the Liukou went to Zezhou and Linfen.

"Lord, Li Zicheng, who you asked me to investigate, is now a general, and his department has an old battalion of about one or two thousand people, with more than 10,000 women and children, and is active in the Liaozhou area, but I heard that recently, he went to Henan Mansion, and Gao Yingxiang and others, with an army of thirty or forty thousand people, are active in Zezhou and Lu'an."

Gao Yingxiang sent someone to investigate, if Wei Xiaobao can still have some understanding, then Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and the like, the old battalion has only a small group of thieves with more than 1,000 soldiers, so I don't know why the main guild is so concerned.

What's more important is that King Zijin Liang used it for his own use, as the nominal leader of the righteous army, with about 3,000 old battalions left behind by Wang Jiayin, and successively collected the scattered fugitives driven away by Cao Wenzhao with troops that day, and gradually gathered into a main force of thieves with about seven or eight thousand strong old battalions, but Li Jing didn't seem to pay much attention to this army.

"What about Zhang Xianzhong?"

Li Jing asked curiously, and sighed in his heart, these people can really run.

"Among the homeless people, I haven't seen this person's team, maybe I went to Huguang."

Wei Xiaobao said uncertainly, there is really no way, Jinnan is ruthless, there are wars everywhere, today the official army comes, tomorrow the rogue will leave, he scattered a team of forty or fifty secret agents, it turned out to be strange, three of them were forcibly pulled by the official army to become strong men, and they were sent weapons and turned into official soldiers.

There are also a few who were also coerced by the homeless people to act as rebels, and even those who couldn't die were directly killed as enemy spies.

Fortunately, in the hands of the official army, at least if you show your identity, you can still save your life, but the thieves don't care so much.

"Went to Huguang?"

Li Jing pondered for a while, and simply didn't want to think about it, so he went directly out of the big temple of Huiji Temple, and then looked at the generals standing and waiting outside, nodded slightly, and then said,

"You can't wait, can you?"

"My lord, after resting for more than 20 days, all the departments have reached the predetermined position, can you give an order to implement a military order first?"

After Li Jing returned to Shanxi, Li Denggao automatically resigned from his post as the chief military officer of Ningwu and still served as a staff officer of the logistics department of the begging army, managing the supply of grain and grass for the whole army.

Seeing Li Jing come out at this moment, he immediately stepped forward to salute, and then looked at the generals who were eager to try, and opened his mouth first.

"Well, it looks like you can't wait."

Li Jing glanced around with a smile, and then led a group of generals to the side hall, still saying on the way, "Where are the positions of each department now?" ”

"Lord, except for the necessary soldiers and horses to guard against Datong Town and Mongolian Tartars in the north, the rest are from east to west, the second brigade of the second town is hoarded in Dingxiang, the first brigade of Qinwei Town is hoarded in Xinxian, the main force of the third town is in Yongning Prefecture, and the main force of the teaching town is located on the line from Jingle to Tianmen Pass to meet the army."

A marching clerk from the General Staff Department of the Beggar Army immediately came up and spoke, 1510.

"Are the soldiers and horses of the fourth town out of Pingyang Mansion?"

After entering the side hall, Li Jing beckoned the generals to sit down, and then asked with a smile.

"General Li sent a letter to come, on the ninth day of the fourth month, the third battalion of Zhao Sheng's department, strengthened 2,000 people, set out from Yanchang, captured Yonghe, Xingde two passes, killed 200 officers and soldiers, and is now marching towards Yonghe and Daning."

"Order him, immediately speed up, it's been a month, his main force, to follow up immediately, don't grind, to take advantage of the chaos in Shandong has not completely ended, to rush the thieves to Henan and Shandong as soon as possible, this is a task that must be completed within three months, and now is the time when a quarter of an hour can not be delayed!"

Li Jing frowned, very displeased, how could it be that everyone was full of enthusiasm when the family had a small business before, but now they have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but they are timid.

So he reprimanded loudly, "I don't want his defense, just send the stagecoach team, and give him an order to hurry up and whip him, and at the end of April, I will return to the division with him in Qinzhou." ”

"Whoa."

Seeing that he was angry, everyone suddenly didn't dare to make a sound.

After waiting for a while, Li Jing continued, "The third town is the best location and the easiest to make war exploits, Zhao Mosheng, you have to give me a good performance this time, you have to march into Fenzhou and Shilou at the same time, flank Li Mao smoothly, and then take Jiexiu, and then enter Qinzhou eastward, with the end of April as the limit, completely wipe out the imperial soldiers and rebels in Fenzhou and Pingyang Mansion." ”

"For the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, it is better to kill the prisoners as much as possible, and for the rebels, try to drive them to the southeast of Jin, and after my armies from all walks of life converge, we will drive them to Henan together."

Seeing Zhao Mosheng nodding yes, Li Jing let him go, and then turned his head to Ning You and Chen Da and said, "You two, ranked in the central region, are the most relaxed, I don't have many main forces of the official army in the Guanyangqu area, you must fight fast, fierce, you must concentrate artillery to attack the city, don't be stingy, for the city that cannot be broken for the time being, don't stay, just monitor with a small number of troops,"

"By the end of April, you must cooperate with Zheng Renbao to capture Liaozhou and gather and annihilate the main force of the official army entrenched here!"

"Oh, dare to ask the lord, what should I do if I capture the court officials?"

Ning You is not confused, if there is no military order from Li Jing, he would not dare to dispose of these important members of the imperial court at will, you must know that the pursuit to Liaozhou is Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, and dozens of civil and military officials.

"Except for Zhang Zongheng, Xu Dingchen, and Zuo Liangyu, the rest will all be killed and reported to the imperial court, and there is no need for me to ask about it."

Li Jing is familiar with these few in his mind anyway, as for the others, whether they live or die, what does it matter to him?

"Zheng Renbao, your troops, after capturing Pingding, first go south from the border of Shanxi Province to cut off the road for the officials and troops of Liaozhou to flee eastward, and then I will lead the army to attack from the south, and strive to gather the main force of the official army in Liaozhou, but you must pay attention to the fact that whenever you enter the army, you must cooperate with the teaching town of your neighbors, and you must not go deep alone."

Under the leadership of the governor of Xuanda and the governor of Shanxi, the official army pursued the thief army, but after the convergence in Liaozhou, the main force also reached as many as seven or eight thousand people, which is not an ordinary army and household soldiers, most of them are Changping and the original Jin soldiers, the main force of the Ningwu soldiers, not a good bone to gnaw, plus the Baoding soldiers and horses that may come at any time, so Li Jing is also in line with the principle of caution.

Try not to let his team fall into a disadvantage in strength, when the time comes, he is ready to use the absolute superiority of four or five brigades to deal with the main force of the official army entrenched in Liaozhou, and the Shanxi area has been fighting for a year or two, and the elite of the official army has also been consumed, plus the garrison is scattered, and the officers and troops who can be used in a concentrated manner are actually a little more than 10,000.

If we can eat all the main forces of the official army in Liaozhou, then the battle will be much easier to fight in the future.

"This time is just on the occasion of my father's tomb and my wedding, I sent out invitations to invite civil and military officials from Datong and Shanxi towns to come as guests.

Li Jing gave another order to Li Denggao, and soon got a response,

"The lord, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, has always wanted to invite the lord out of the mountain in the past, to clear the thieves, recently heard that the lord is about to get married, there is a messenger said, April 18, must personally rush to Chun County, congratulations to the lord, count the time, I am afraid this person is about to set off."

"Oh? How could such a thing happen? ”

The dignified Xuanda headquarters did not control the three armies on the Liaozhou front, but ran to his own station, isn't this a death.

"But if you are ordered to go down, I expect that he will go north to Xin County, as long as the town of Qinwei sees this person, he must be strictly guarded, but he is not allowed to harm his life, I will also make a scene with this person for the court to see!"

Li Jing didn't dare to kill him in public on his way to the banquet or on the way back, after all, once a governor, the imperial court would not spare him easily, and when the time came, he would have to take the blame for the unlucky Governor Zhang.

It just so happens that there is still a governor in his station, if Zhang Fengyi refuses to cooperate, Zhang Zongheng will have to bear the blame for his death, who makes the position of the governor of Xuanda in Shanxi the highest position, he doesn't carry it, who carries it?

"All armies don't need to stay in Chunxian to eat wine, my happy wine, you want the whole Shanxi to congratulate me!"

"Swear to take the whole territory of Shanxi and congratulate the lord!"

The generals immediately bowed to the ground, and did not dare to disagree. (To be continued.) )
