Chapter 294: A Lobbyist Who Doesn't Know His Strength
Twenty miles outside the city of Liangzhou, the army stretched, Li Jing personally led the army and finally arrived in Liangzhou, Liangzhou Li Liang was frightened, he didn't expect Li Jing to come so quickly, and what he didn't expect was that Xue Ju was so incompetent, he didn't even drag Li Jing for a day, and tens of thousands of troops instantly resisted the city of Liangzhou, although it took Li Jing's army more than ten days from Lanzhou to Liangzhou, but this also made Li Liang feel that he was short of time.
Although An Xiurenjian borrowed the Tuyuhun army to come to help Li Jing, it would take time for the Tuyuhun army to gather. Up to now, Li Liang has not had any means to defeat Li Jing's army, although he has a lot of soldiers and horses, he himself understands that he is not the opponent of Li Jing's elite army of tigers and wolves at all, and he still honestly retreats in the city, waiting for reinforcements while training the army.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing's camp outside the city did not make any movement, as if he was just here to confront him, which made Li Liang happy and a little more uneasy in his heart.
In the big tent, Li Jing was looking at a letter, and there was a book of Spring and Autumn on the handsome case in front of him, Li Jing compared it word by word, and after a while, he saw a letter appear in front of Li Jing, and Li Jing's face became more and more happy, until he finally let out a burst of laughter. This is the top-secret news from Jinyiwei, and the content in it made Li Jing's originally nervous mood suddenly relax a lot.
"General, there's a group of people outside asking to see you."
At this time, a soldier outside the big tent said loudly.
"Daoist?" Li Jing was stunned and said, "Please come in!" Li Jing stood up and put the secret letter on the butter torch, which burned clean in an instant.
After half a ring, there was a Taoist man wearing a Taoist robe, holding a dusty hand, with big sleeves fluttering, and a fairy wind bone. walked into the big tent and glanced at Li Jing, but his eyes lit up. If Du Ruhui was here, he would definitely recognize this Taoist as the Taoist Qihui Taoist who he saw on Zhongnan Mountain.
"What do you call the Taoist Chief? Why are you here? Li Jing looked at the Taoist in front of him, his face was solemn, because he saw that the Taoist in front of him did not see any dust on him, so the origin of this Taoist was open to discussion.
"Poor Daolou Guandao Qihui. I have seen General Li Jing. Qihui Daoren's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he saluted Li Jing and said: "The general's eyes are like torches, and the tiger's back is bear's waist. is like a tiger standing on a dragon plate, and in the future, he will be wearing a purple robe, and he will enter and exit. ”
After Li Jing heard this, his face did not change, and he said: "Daoist Qihui is not practicing in Zhongnan Mountain, why did he come to the barren land in the northwest?" Could it be that this northwest also has a Taoist view of Louguandao? "Qi Hui has a very good reputation in the Guanzhong area, even Li Jing has heard of this person, this person is a guest of the wealthy family in Guanzhong, and he should have lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. Now that he has come here, for the sake of this, he can't help but let Li Jing wake up.
"Specially for the generals." Qi Hui Dao's face did not change, and he found a Mazha and sat down. The whisk in his hand was on his wrist and said: "The general is the tiger general of the world, and the two bosses of Han Baohu and Yang Su were very appreciative of it back then, and not long ago they used soldiers like gods. Continuously eradicating the Xue Ju rebellion and the misdeeds of the Qiang people, poor Dao thinks that in today's world. When it comes to the ability to use soldiers, there are very few people who can defeat generals, and generals can be said to be famous through the ages in a short time, but why do generals want to do things perversely? Qihui Daoren looked at Li Jing in a regretful tone and said.
"Why is it called perverse, the last general will be ordered by the imperial court to conquer Li Rail in Liangzhou, this is to seek rebellion against thieves by the order of heaven. What is called perverseness? Li Jinghu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he looked at Daoist Qihui and said: "Daoist is a master outside the world, so he should jump out of the red dust and seek the way of immortality. Li Jing saw it at this time, and the Qihui Daoist in front of him was probably not a serious Taoist.
"Haha, why should the general deceive himself? Not to mention that Li Liang is famous in Liangzhou, he is a good person in Liangzhou, and his move is also to protect the people of Liangzhou, so he said that the general said that he was conscripted by the mandate of heaven, where is this mandate of heaven? In today's world? How can we represent the Mandate of Heaven if we are not in place? As for the general's Shangguan Li Xin, he is just a selfish person, for his own ambitions, and the labor expedition, harming the people in the northwest of the Great Sui is not making a living, General Li Liang has no choice but to do the opposite, the general is a hero of the world, and he has a good future, why should he help the abuse? You must know that the swords and soldiers are together, and the lives are ruined! Qi Hui Daoren's face flushed, and he said loudly: "If the general withdraws his troops at this moment, he will definitely be famous for eternity." ”
"The Taoist chief laughed, Li Jing is a subordinate of the Grand Governor, since Li Liang has rebelled, it is the rebellion of the imperial court, how can he be spared." Li Jing said in a very flat voice: "As for Liangzhou City, if Liangzhou City can set things right, General Ben will naturally spare the lives of these people." Hehe, what the Taoist chief just said about Li Liang is a benevolent person, I don't know that colluding with the Tuyuhun people to deal with the imperial army is also a benevolent person? ”
"This? Li Rail has a wide range of friends, he is friends with Fu Yun, the lord of Tuyuhun, the general came to attack Liangzhou, Fu Yun naturally came to the rescue, this is not Li Rail himself. Qihui Daoren's face showed a slight embarrassment, and said: "Besides, my Great Sui has conquered Tuyuhun before, and Tuyuhun has also surrendered to my Great Sui, and they are not aliens. What does the general think? ”
"Really?" After Li Jing heard this, his face was stunned, and finally he smiled dumbly: "It's not impossible to let General Ben withdraw his troops, I have to have an explanation!" ”
"What does the general need?" After hearing this, Qihui Daoist was very happy and said: "Whatever the general needs, the poor road can do it for the general, in the end, the general is benevolent and righteous, and he can't bear the misery of Liangzhou." I believe that the general will be respected by Liangzhou in the future. ”
"War horses, I need 10,000 war horses." Li Jing said lightly: "Don't shirk the Dao Chief, General Ben knows that there are a lot of war horses in Li Liang's army. If he didn't give the war horse, how would General Ben explain to those adults in the imperial court? Second, once the Metropolitan Governor returns to Yiwu, Li Liang must let go of the road and let the Metropolitan Governor return to Liangzhou. ”
"This? General, isn't there a little more than 10,000 war horses? Qi Hui's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, he entered Liangzhou with a purpose, and took the initiative to ask Li Liang to come and persuade Li Jing, but this Li Jing's asking price was too high, which made him a little embarrassed. As for the second way to open up a road, Qi Hui thinks that there is no problem, Li Xin is already short of food at this time, and it is a question whether he can return to Yiwudu in the future.
"Eight thousand, no less." Li Jinghu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qihui Daoist coldly.
"Five thousand." Qihui Daoist thought for a while and said: "It can't be more, if there are more, the general can attack Liangzhou by himself, and the poor Dao will turn around and leave." Qi Hui's face was cloudy, looking at Li Jing, waiting for Li Jing to speak.
"Okay." Li Jing nodded, and said: "It is difficult for my army to transfer grain and grass, Li Liang must pay my army of 50,000 for ten days of grain and grass, and when the grain and grass are ready, I will leave." As a sign of sincerity, I can get five thousand cavalry out of the camp tonight. ”
"I'm afraid it's hard to get enough food and grass for this 50,000-strong army in a short period of time." Qi Hui Dao was happy in his heart, and explained in a low voice.
"I can get 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave the camp early." Li Jing frowned and said.
"Poor Dao, let Louguan Dao mobilize up and down, strive to gather 50,000 troops for the general within five days, 10 days of food and grass, as well as 5,000 war horses, and ask the general to keep his promise, 10,000 troops are the first to leave the camp." Qihui Daoren hurriedly said.
"Someone, send off." After Li Jing listened, he nodded to Qihui Daoren, waved his hand, and let him leave.
Although Qihui Daoist was very annoyed by Li Jing's attitude, when he thought that his task had been completed, his heart was also much more relaxed, and he saluted Li Jing very happily, and his big sleeves fluttered out of the camp and went towards Liangzhou, but he didn't see the gloomy disdain behind Li Jing.
"Knock, knock!" A loud bang sounded in Li Jing's camp, and I saw countless generals rushing out of their respective tents and rushing towards Li Jing's Chinese army tent. Li Jing's military discipline was extremely strict, and no one dared to offend.
When the two drums were blowing, the big tent was crowded with generals and lieutenants, the leaders were Zong Luohu, Shen Fei, and the other was Li Xuanba, he was sitting there, within a few feet of the surroundings, no one dared to stand aside with him, this was a freak, a murderous character, no one dared to mess with him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I have good news for you, the Dadu Governor has sent a secret message from the people, he has occupied Gaochang, and cooperated with the Turks to defeat the Tiele people, and now there are no Tiele people in the entire Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions have called the Great Sui a tribute, and the Dadu Governor has also received countless grains and grass, so it is better to return to the dynasty with the class, well, according to the march process, it should be Yiwu now." Li Jing said with a smile.
After listening to the big tent, the generals suddenly showed joy on their faces, in the entire northwest, Li Xin is the real first person, the wealth of these generals is concentrated in him alone, not long ago, Li Rail rebelled in Liangzhou, cut off Li Xin's grain road, although Li Jing and others acted decisively and quickly, pacified Xue Ju, defeated the Qiang people, but Li Rail still occupied Liangzhou, Li Xin's grain road still could not be smooth, although the generals did not say it on the surface, they were still very worried in their hearts, at this time I heard that Li Xin had won the battle and was about to return to the dynasty, The worries in my heart were much more relaxed.
"Okay, at the moment, although the governor has arrived in Yiwu, Liangzhou is still in the hands of the rebels, we must conquer Liangzhou, according to the news, Liangzhou An Xiuren has said that Tugu Hun Fuyun will send troops. They will be our worst enemies. Li Jing glanced at the big tent, and the big tent instantly settled down, and Li Jing said: "If you want to set Liangzhou, you must first destroy Tuguhun." Therefore, the congregation will obey the command. ”
"The last general will obey the general's orders." When the generals heard this, their hearts were shocked, and they roared loudly. (To be continued......)
