(Add to the additional update, Chapter 4! Thank you to Mercury One, 38383388 for your support!)
Duli Town, Wang Pu heard that Li Juren, the son of Li Lingfu, was dead. Before his death, he actually passed Qingnipu not to his younger brother Li Juyi, but to Li Jing. He couldn't help but feel indignant, "My Duli Town has worked hard for a hundred years, but he was unable to seize Qingni City. Li Jing did not spend a single soldier, but now he is taking over Qingni City. It's really a fate to make people. From now on, Duli Town can no longer seize Qingni City!" Wang Pu was depressed, and he was so depressed that he couldn't afford to get sick.
Li Jing led his army back to Qingni City. Li Juyi announced Li Juren's death to Mrs. Gao and Li Meng and others. The civil and military officials in Qingni City and all the wealthy families came to visit Li Jing. Li Jing took over as the city lord, with Li Meng as the auxiliary. He also ordered Li Chun, the director of Shamen Town, to be the auxiliary, and then ordered Lin Wu to be the general of Qingni City Town, and led Qinglang Camp to guard the city. Zhenhai Camp was also sent to guard Qingni Port, and Li Xu was the commander of the navy.
In addition, Li Jing reorganized the cavalry capital and the Crane Control Cavalry directly under Shamen Town into a new Crane Control Cavalry battalion, which was a large camp of 2,000 people and horses in the ten capitals. In addition to the 800 old Crane Control Army and 200 direct cavalry capital, he recruited 1,000 Hu cavalry from the foreign soldiers and mixed with the original 1,000 soldiers and horses. Li Jing appointed Li Juyi as the new Crane Control Camp and Gao Rong as the deputy ten generals. The sects, Fu'an, Cao Meng, Li Biao, Yu Bao, and Gao Duo were all the capital generals. In addition, the four cavalry generals of the cavalry capitals of Shamen Town were transferred to the four cavalry generals, Mao Youliang, Yang Xing'an, Ma Ruhai, and Chen Xianjin as the capital generals.
In addition to a thousand Hu cavalry who were recruited into the Hek Control Army, the remaining three thousand were also recruited by Li Jing. Xincheng Third Battalion was the third battalion, flying spear and flying axe, and stationed outside Qingni City.
While reorganizing the army, Li Jing posted a notice to appease the military and civilians. In addition, he arranged the funerals of Li Lingfu, Li Juren and Jue-ei, father and son. Li Jing and the soldiers of all large and small were all filial. After the grand ceremony, they were buried in the Tieshan Ridge on the coast of Liao.
The old army of Qingnicheng was also reorganized into three garrison infantry battalions, plus the third infantry battalions of the foreign army, as well as Lin Wu's iron spear, Li Xu's Zhenhai, and Qingnicheng's troops had eight camps of troops. A total of eight thousand troops were used.
The Crane Army was kept by Li Jing, which was also Li Liang's idea. The Crane Army was the last elite in Qingni City. Torture them by his side was not only conducive to Lin Wu's control of the situation in Qingni City, but also conducive to Li Jing slowly conquering the elite army of the Crane Army.
After the war, Gao Rong and other foreign soldiers received a large amount of money rewarded by Li Jing. Originally, Li Jing promised to help them seize Beisha City after the war. However, after experiencing two battles, especially after suffering a great loss in Duli Town, they immediately woke up. It was okay to hire mercenaries like them, but it was unlikely to seize Beisha City.
Facing the conditions for revenge offered by Li Jing to them, the leaders of all tribes were moved and they agreed not long afterwards.
After truce with Duli Town and settled the matter in Qingni City, Li Jing did not intend to withdraw the Da Xie Fort immediately.
"The last time Beisha City took advantage of the situation and robbed Qingni City. Now that I am the lord of Qingni City, I will definitely avenge this revenge."
Li Liang also agreed with Li Jing's decision, "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han occupied Guanzhong, and Emperor Guangwu occupied Hanoi, which was all deep roots and then fought for the world. In this way, you can defeat the enemy and retreat. Now the Lord has the entire Da Xie Fort, but Da Xie Fort is just a maritime island, and its foundation is inherently unstable. Now that you have obtained Qingni City in your hands, this is a foundation that is given to you. With Da Xie Fort, you can connect Liaodong and Ziqing Town, and to the north, you can expand your territory to Liaodong, reclaim land, and resettle the people. Use the workshops on Da Xie Fort Island to produce goods and save money. Use Qingni City to stock up on land to produce food. Accumulate strength. When the Central Plains changes, you can send troops westward to the Central Plains to compete for the world."
"Fight for the world?" Li Jing chuckled, "I am a border general of the Tang Dynasty. Don't say this in the future. It will attract people's attention. Besides, the Li Shi in the Tang Dynasty has been in the past three hundred years, and people's hearts are facing each other, so how can we change it day and night?"
Li Liang said: "If the Lord has no ambition, how could he do this? The Lord's various actions are like this. This is a picture of a wise ruler. As long as the Lord has some ambitions, I am willing to follow the left and right side of the left and right, with the saddle in front of the horse and the horse head, and the horse head is full of support, and I will assist you with all my heart."
Li Jing smiled. What Li Liang said is true. The planner always wants to meet ambitious leaders so that they can have the opportunity to play their talents. Standard literati will never think about making a career, but rather about learning literary and martial arts, selling goods to the imperial family, and assisting a wise lord to succeed, and keeping a name in history. However, it is not the time to say those words. Although the Tang Dynasty is about to leak and sink, even if it sinks, such a large ship will have to sink for decades.
If you jump out too early, you will only be beaten first.
"I want to use the three-foot green edge in my hand to destroy the turmoil in the world, revive the Tang Dynasty, and create a prosperous era again!" Li Jing said with a pride in his swordsmanship.
Li Liang's eyes lit up, and he could already hear what Li Jing said. Today, if he was under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty, he would undoubtedly be smarter than those celebrating the king and becoming emperor at any time. After he understood Li Jing's intentions, he smiled slightly and never mentioned these things again.
He turned around and said, "I agree to send troops to Beisha City, but don't really fight in the end. Although Beisha City is not as good as Duli Town, it is a mountain city built on Dahei Mountain. Of course, Emperor Taizong conquered Liao and sent 20,000 troops to besiege Beisha City, which was 3,000 Goguryeo defenders. It was seriously injured and could not be stopped for a long time. In the end, it paid a huge price to take this city. If we attack Beisha City, there would be few soldiers, and there would be few soldiers, and there would be many soldiers, Qingni City and Da Xie Fort, and the hard attack would be extremely loss, which was very unprofitable. Finally, we would invite Shicheng, Shirenzhu and other forces near Beisha City to send troops together. It would be best to force them to sign the alliance under the city without bloodshed, forcing them to pay a sum of money and grain compensation, which not only gained a gain, but also weakened Beisha City. It was also possible to strengthen friendly relations with other forces through joint forces."
After hearing this, Li Jing nodded, "This year's drought is coming. The summer harvest season is coming, but there will be no grains in the north. At this time, using troops to Beisha City can obtain a lot of money and grain. Beisha City is originally a group of horse thieves, with a lot of money, grain, gold and silk. If he knows what to do, we can temporarily avoid using troops to him. If he is not tactful, he can bring the coalition forces of various departments together to join in the alliance."
Immediately, Li Jing asked Lin Wu and Li Xu to lead the army to stay in Qingni City, and there were 3rd battalions of garrison soldiers and 6,000 foreign soldiers from the third battalions to cooperate with 6,000 horses of the third battalions. Li Jing led Qinglang, Tiebi, Zhenhai, Feiying and Xinjian Guanhe Camp to Fabeisha City, and sent people to contact the two families of Shicheng and Shirenzhugang City, and asked them to send troops together.
Along the way, Li Jing was not in a hurry to rush to Beisha City, but ordered the five battalions to separate and maintain a certain distance. While marching, he cleared out the thieves, pirates, horses and thieves along the way, which was not only to train troops, but also to copy the bandits' property, money and food. On the other hand, it was also to clear the thieves near Qingni City and ensure the peace of Qingni City.
The land of Liaodong was named under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but it was actually a land without a border. Many forces, people, dragons and snakes of all races were mixed. Most of the forces were like Duli Town, with tens of thousands of troops, and hundreds of them were small. The large forces were built with a base of hundreds of miles, and the small forces were built with cities and forts. They simply built a mountain village in the mountains and forests, and even hid directly in caves. There were many bandits, horse thieves, and pirates from all sides. Even when Li Lingfu was in control of Qingnipu, his strength could not destroy these thieves within the sphere of influence.
Within three days, the five battalions destroyed more than dozens of mountain villages, killed thousands of bandits, obtained more than 5,000 prisoners of war, and seized many grain, money, and many other men and women who were captured. Li Jing sent people to behead all the bandit leaders, and the rest were demoted to slaves, and sent all the men and women who were seized and captured and captured by bandits to return to Qingni City first.
When he arrived at Beisha City, Li Jing did not rush to attack the city, but led the He Camp to station at the city, and let the other four battalions scattered around Beisha City to continue to wipe out the bandits. Zhang Dewei heard that Li Jing led his troops to attack on Dahei Mountain, and was anxious. He also heard that Li Jing had wiped out dozens of mountain villages, beheaded more than a thousand and captured thousands of prisoners along the way. Now he also contacted the two soldiers and horses of Shicheng and Shirenzhugang to attack together, and he felt even more uneasy.
Just when he was in a panic, the scout suddenly reported that after Li Jing's soldiers arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were very arrogant and actually sent most of the soldiers to suppress the bandits. He left only two thousand soldiers and horses waiting for Shicheng and Shirenzhu soldiers to come. Upon hearing this news, Zhang Dewei couldn't help feeling a little moved.
In the middle of the night that day, Zhang Dewei's general Wang Du asked for a fight and personally led 5,000 troops down the mountain to attack. Li Jing had expected that the other party might come to attack the camp and was ready. The king's soldiers entered the camp, but only got an empty camp. He knew that he was trapped. Li Jing had already led the cavalry of the Crane from the side and killed him. The two armies fought, and Li Jing had 2,000 to 5,000. However, although the Crane Camp was newly adapted, there were 800 cavalry of Li Lingfu's old elites, and there were 200 direct cavalry of Li Jing. The newly recruited one thousand cavalry were also Hu cavalry, who were good at riding and shooting.
During this night battle, although there were many soldiers in Beisha City, half of the veterans were lost because of the last defeat in Beisha City. Zhang Dewei cleaned the Hu people in the city, but in the end he went to the small half of the Hu soldiers. Now there are less than a thousand veterans among the five thousand horses, and the rest are all newly recruited soldiers. These people are not skilled in martial arts and poor equipment, so they are not opponents of the two thousand Crane Control Army. During the melee, Wang Du's bright red armor appeared abnormally. He was targeted by Li Juyi and rushed to catch up. The two sides fought for less than a few rounds and were directly stabbed by Li Juyi with a long spear. Even the general flag of the capital was stabbed to death by Li Juyi and took away the general flag.
The flag was lost and was about to die. The ambushed Beisha army was in chaos and fled in all directions.
Li Jing led his army to cover up the killing, chasing him from the foot of the mountain to the bottom of the Beisha City. Zhang Dewei saw the flames coming up the mountain. When he got closer, he found that the five thousand soldiers and horses he had left were defeated and returned. Li Jing's soldiers and horses were slashing behind him like killing pigs and oxes, and he fainted immediately.
The defeated army fled to the city and shouted to open the door. Zhang Dewei called for the order to prohibit the door. Seeing Li Jing leading the army to chase the city, killing and slashing, and finally, watching the many hopeless soldiers who had no hope of running for life abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
