When it was evening, what was placed in front of Cheng Yanjin was Shandong Lvlin Road, or the roster of the newly established Left Prison Guards, Changshi Zhuge Sheng, and then the left and right generals Qi Yanfei and Qin Hu, and then the Lang generals Qi Yancheng, Qi Yanshan, Qin Bao, Qin Meng, Xiong Dahai, Lou Zhijie and so on, and then Zhonglang Generals, School Captains, etc., adding up to nearly four or five hundred people, and the rest were soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, even if the shelves of our left prison guards are set up, the strong are soldiers, and the old and weak are auxiliary soldiers, hehe, 60,000 troops are enough for us to crisscross the entire Shandong." Cheng Yanjin sat in the first place, full of spirits, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, Wei Chigong and they laughed at us, thinking that we couldn't do big things, and today I, Cheng Yanjin, want to tell you that we are also capable of doing big things in Shandong Lvlin Road." And to do something big, what is Wei Chigong, he just followed His Majesty's side, so today, we rely on ourselves. The land of Shandong is at our disposal, and we can fight wherever we want. Ladies and gentlemen, the future of the fine clothes and food will depend on how many enemies we can defeat this time. I wonder if you have faith? ”

"Obey the general." Qin Hu and the others said loudly, the popularity of the people in the big tent was very high, and even Zhuge Sheng on the side found that these guys could not be underestimated.

"That's right, whoever says we can't win the battle, you have to show them something." Cheng Yanjin stood up and said loudly: "We have Jinyi Wei as the eyes and ears, what we need is not to attack the city, but to be imposing, Li Zhao crisscrossed Shandong, causing the people to be miserable, and the people were miserable, what we have to do is to win over these people and do things for us." All the local tyrants and inferior gentry are within the scope of our killing. Zhuge Changshi, there must be intelligence on Jinyiwei's side, I Lao Cheng needs your information, and I will give us the news of all the families in Shandong. Can you do it? ”

"This. This is naturally possible, but His Majesty has always ordered that all families with good names must not be touched, can you do it, general? Zhuge Sheng said with some concern.

"Of course, this one can. You mark them all. I promise I won't touch them. Cheng Yanjin said without thinking: "It's not just my old Cheng, even you can't touch them, Your Majesty's mind must be known to you, love the people like a son, although you hate the family, but you are definitely not killing innocent people." We can destroy, we can kill. But you must not make it difficult for Your Majesty, otherwise, Your Majesty will not kill you, but my Lao Cheng will turn his face and not recognize people at that time, don't blame me Lao Cheng. Cheng Biting Jin's eyes rolled, and he glanced at everyone.

The generals were originally eating and drinking, but after listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, their faces changed, and they asked these people on the green forest road to abide by military discipline. It's not an ordinary difficulty, you must know that these guys were originally a group of robbers, mostly poor people, and they all hated the rich. It's really hard to get them to show mercy to those rich people.

"After this battle, you are all generals of the imperial court, and after the unification of the world. You are all rich, you are powerful, and you are not a family. You are also the object of hatred, how about you, do you want someone to follow your example in the future? Zhuge Sheng snorted coldly and said.

"By the order of the General." After hearing this, the generals' expressions changed, and only then did they remember that they were also a privileged class.

"The Shandong that Your Majesty wants must be the Shandong of all the people who are obedient and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, not to let Shandong deviate from morality, so if you want to kill people, you can only kill two kinds of people, the first is Li Zhao's soldiers and officials, and the second is those local tyrants and inferior gentry who oppress the people, who are we, we are the righteous army of Shandong, not traitors." Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at everyone coldly and said: "Once Your Majesty knows that we are doing anything wrong in Shandong, the first person you will look for is my old Cheng, but before Your Majesty kills me, I will definitely ask for your heads." ”

"The last will obey." After hearing this, the generals hurriedly said loudly.

"Very good, tomorrow the army will set off, cross Weishan Lake, and crisscross Shandong." After hearing this, Cheng Yanjin said loudly: "Your Majesty said this time, everything that our army has taken will be distributed to you and the soldiers, but what you have to do is to be loud, wherever there are enemy loopholes, they are the objects of our attack, if the city can't be beaten, we will hit the county seat, and if the county town can't be beaten, we will fight the dock fort and wreak havoc in Shandong, this is our goal, intruding on the enemy's grain routes, this is our purpose, do you understand?" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, general, these things are our old business, in Shandong, who else is more familiar with everything here than us." Xiong Dahai said loudly.

"Yes, yes, General, just wait! We will definitely play these Li Zhao soldiers to death. Qin Hu and the others also laughed. Cheng Yanjin's request is very simple, that is, there is no task, and the army takes destruction as its own responsibility, which happens to be the most common means used by these guys.

The next day, Shandong Green Forest Road coalition army set off, they set off from Fanghe County, crossed Weishan Lake, and entered the territory of Lu County, tens of thousands of troops were huge, the flag covered the sky and the sun, Zoucheng, Tengzhou and other counties were in a hurry, snowflakes like documents spread to all directions, whether it was Li Yuanji sitting in Yanzhou, or Cui Minggan sitting in Dengzhou were stunned by the situation in front of him.

"These thieves are really hateful." In Yanzhou City, Li Yuanji looked at Cui Mingan who came from afar, and his face was very unsightly.

"Another Li Xin, they are more ferocious than Li Xin, they are destroying the foundation of the Shandong family, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, must take measures immediately, if they are allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that the foundation of the Shandong family will be destroyed, look, above, November 15th, broke the Chen family fort, the Chen family up and down more than 30 mouths, except for the women and children, the Chen family was killed in the prime of life, and the Wangjia Village was destroyed on the 16th, the old lady Wang still contributed to the court on weekdays, and once raised fifty stone grain and grass for the army, Now they have been killed by those rebels, and others, seventeenth, eighteenth, and so on, and these sins are too numerous to mention! Lord Wang, if this continues, something will happen to me in Shandong sooner or later. Cui Mingan looked at the paperwork in his hand and didn't know what to do, and his right hand trembled.

"Master Cui, not only these, but Xu Shiji also gave information to this king, and the grain and grass in the army have been repeatedly destroyed." Li Yuanji smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the fear of turmoil in the hearts of the front-line soldiers, these things would have been sent out a long time ago." Xu Shiji still underestimated those rebellions. ”

"Shandong Green Forest Road must have been integrated by Li Xin. The person at the head is called Cheng Yanjin, a general under Li Xin, and the people on the Green Forest Road call him the Demon King of the Mixed World. Cui Min said viciously: "Only Li Xin will come up with such a method." What an abomination! ”

"Up to now, these rebels have not yet attacked the city, which shows that their strength is still relatively weak." Li Yuanji said: "We still have a chance. ”

"Your Highness, can't you see it? This is to raise and train troops. Cui Mingan said dissatisfiedly: "Now they haven't attacked the city, but sooner or later they will." ”

Li Yuanji was not stupid, he was just stunned by the situation in front of him, thought about it, and said: "The most important thing at the moment is how to capture Caozhou and defeat Li Xin, everything else is a small matter, what is most lacking in my Dazhao is people, and the least thing is time, as long as you wait for reinforcements to come, everything is not a problem." ”

"Whoever will come for reinforcements and who will lead the army, whether it is Qin Qiong or Li Xin, is not easy to mess with." Cui Mingan said dissatisfiedly: "Xu Shiji may be very powerful, but in my opinion, he is definitely not Li Xin's opponent." ”

"That might be." Li Yuanji's eyes flashed with complexity, and he said to Cui Mingan: "There are many private soldiers in the Shandong family, this king wants to gather these private soldiers together, I don't know if Lord Cui is willing?" ”

"Ahh Cui Mingan was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise for a while: "Who will give these private soldiers to command, at least twenty or thirty thousand private soldiers!" "There are many families in Shandong, more than 1,000 in each family, and dozens or hundreds of private soldiers in the few, and these private soldiers are also a powerful force when they are united. Cui Mingan knew that this was the most critical time for the Shandong family, if Li Xin was allowed to occupy Shandong, the Shandong family would probably suffer a cruel blow, and some families might surrender to Li Xin, surrender to Li Xin, or go to Hebei, go to Youzhou, and start over. None of this is what Cui Mingan wants to see.

Even if Li Yuan wanted to weaken the power of the family at this time, Cui Mingan had no choice but to respond, compared to accepting private soldiers, it was better than weakening and dying.

"Xu Shiji, how's it going?" Li Yuanji said with a smile.

"Xu Shiji, how could it be him?" Cui Mingan jumped up all of a sudden, and exclaimed: "If he goes to suppress the bandits, it will naturally be no problem, but who will deal with Li Xin?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have no problem governing the country, but if it is said that the army is marching and fighting, I am afraid it is a little worse. ”

"Don't worry about this Lord Cui, someone must be dealing with Li Xin, as long as Lord Cui can gather all the private soldiers of the Shandong family." Li Yuanji sat down and said with a smile: "According to Master Cui's reputation, there must be no problem. Master Cui, what do you say? ”

Cui Mingan's face was uncertain, he glanced at Li Yuanji seriously, and saw that his face was calm, not like a fake, he thought about it and said: "Recently, according to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the order was given, and the officials naturally obeyed. However, if you want to deploy private soldiers, I'm afraid it will take time, and you have to wait for half a month. ”

"In five days, I want 8,000 people, in ten days, I want 15,000 people, half a month, and another 10,000 people. No matter what the king does, he must provide 33,000 people to the king. Li Yuanji looked at Cui Mingan and said.

Cui Mingan's complexion changed, how many private soldiers were in the hands of the Shandong family, Cui Mingan did not count, but it must be not much different from these 33,000 people, he glanced at Li Yuanji deeply and nodded. Faced with this situation, Cui Mingan had no choice. (To be continued.) )
