(Thanks to tangqun for the two monthly tickets, 135 tickets, and I will add another chapter today. This is the third update today. There will be another chapter delivered later. Please give me a reward!)

A great war just ended. In the north of Zizhou City, there were smoke at the foot of Changbai Mountain on the border of Zizhou and Qizhou. Song Wei rode a war horse through the battlefield, and the reorganized military camp of the General's Mansion followed closely behind. The civilians recruited from nearby were cleaning the war horses, looking for wounded and undead wounded soldiers, and carrying them out of the pile of corpses to the logistics wounded barracks. There were also some soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and the bodies of the Pinglu Army would be taken out and sent to the side, and then they would be cremated and buried. As for the rebels, they would be cut off regardless of life or death. The heads of these rebels would be nailed to wooden stakes on the side of the road for shock. The remaining headless corpses would be thrown into the pit of mass graves and buried.

The ground at the foot of Changbai Mountain was stained with blood, and the cracked land that had been dry and drought was trampled in chaos by countless footsteps and iron hooves. In the desolate land that was cracked like a ferocious mouth, many blood-stained white feather arrows and broken swords and guns were inserted. The soldiers who were still stained with blood were bent down to harvest these terrible new "crops"

.

Song Wei slowly walked past the battlefield, and some dying deaths were struggling to neigh at him, and their voices were wailing. However, soon the sergeants from the logistics camp came over and pulled the war horses that were poured in pools of blood to slaughter them, which would become the dinner in the lunch boxes of soldiers in the camp today.

No one wants to eat horse meat, let alone war horse meat. Horse meat is not delicious, sour, astringent, dry and hard. However, more than 20,000 people were stationed at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and the food was approaching, but the food and grass that was urged to transport behind had not been delivered yet. If you don't eat this, you can only eat grass root bark. Horse meat is undoubtedly a better choice than grass root bark, even if these war horses were just pulled from a pool of blood.

A rebel army in the distance jumped under the corpse on the battlefield and fled to the mountain. Several soldiers who were cutting the heads of the rebels were shouting and chasing him. They quickly surrounded him in a circle. A cavalry arrived quickly, whipping the face of the child who was only fifteen or sixteen with a horse whip, and slapped his face with blood marks. Several more soldiers whipped the young man's legs with a spear pole behind him, which made him fall down. Finally, when the young man could no longer get up, a soldier stepped forward and poked the young man's back heart. Then he cut off his head with a knife.

After chopping off his head, several soldiers even used the head as a ball and scrambled each other to make fun of each other.

The military camp was the deputy commander Kang Chenghui, who was temporarily the military commander of the military commander of the military commander against the thieves. Kang Chenghui's armor was neither red nor silver nor white, but gray. It seemed to be a dark color. His armor was made of fine steel. Even the arm armor had a shin armor, and the whole set of armor weighed 80 kilograms. When he put on the armor, he had to be the strongest war horse to drag him up. On the battlefield, a rebel general who had secretly mocked him as a coward at a banquet in Qingzhou, but was knocked down with the horse with only one round.

Kang Chenghui walked forward and apologized to Song Wei: "I failed to keep Zhang Chan. Was he running away?"

"How are the soldiers' casualties?" Song Wei asked.

"Although the general had expected the rebels to come and we had already arranged in advance, unfortunately, these were all cowards. Ten thousand soldiers and horses were used to deal with Zhang Chan and three thousand soldiers, but they were finally killed by them. Just a preliminary count was just now, we annihilated 800 rebels, but we only killed more than 1,100 people in battle, and more than 500 people were seriously injured. Three to one, but we were ambushed, but our casualties were twice as much as the other party. This battle was so fucking too much." Kang Chenghui said hatefully.

Since the Qingzhou was recaptured and the Zishui River crossed the Zishui River and entered Zishui Province, the battle situation has been unsuccessful. First, when the front army was pursuing, Wang Jingwu returned a round of guns and was ambushed by the rebels. He was defeated for a while, and lost more than a thousand troops. Then he joined the Zhonghou Army and chased them all the way to the city of Zishui and surrounded the enemy. Unexpectedly, due to some food and grass problems and the issue of rewards, a military town in Zishui was persuaded by Zhang Chan, secretly responding to Wang Jingwu's night attack on the enemy camp, resulting in another defeat by the Pinglu army, which lost more than three thousand people.

After siege for several days, there was no result in the battle. Instead, the tribes rubbed against each other, and the food and grass did not continue. Song Wei ordered to temporarily retreat to Changbai Mountain on the boundary of Ziqi, to cut off the passage to the two states, and to temporarily wait for the arrival of the food and grass to reorganize the troops. In addition, Song Wei also left a move to attract Wang Jingwu to go out of the city to pursue him.

As a result, Wang Jingwu had no movement at first, but later he suddenly sent troops to attack. Although Song Wei had already set up an ambush here, who would have thought that 10,000 ambushed 3,000 people, but in the end he only wiped out a thousand enemies, and paid a double price.

It’s not that Wang Jingwu and the rebels are too powerful, but that the Pinglu army is too useless.

In fact, in addition to more than 10,000 united troops, the various battalions and towns of the Pinglu Army are actually still combat-effective. However, the military leaders of these battalions are extremely cunning, and no one is willing to do their best. They all want to preserve their strength. When fighting, everyone is unwilling to take care of it, so the results of the battle are naturally not decent.

"Judge Lei, how long does it take for the food and grass from Sima Cui to be transported?" After entering the central army tent, Song Wei summoned several important officials from the General Administration.

The judge of the Jiedushi Lei Gang said with some embarrassment: "When Wang Jingwu escaped from Qingzhou last time, he sent people to set fire to various warehouses in the city. Although we sent people to rescue him later, only a small part was rescued. This time, more than 20,000 troops gathered, and almost all the troops brought food and grass for a few days, waiting for us to supply. Each person had two liters of rice a day, and these two men had 40,000 liters a day, which was almost two hundred stones of rice. In addition, there were tens of thousands of civilians who were summoned, plus those war horses and packed them, which was really not small. For a while, it was difficult to raise. Now Cui Sima has discussed with several major families in Qingzhou, and has temporarily borrowed grain from each family and has already raised 10,000 liters of grain and grass for a month. However, Qingzhou is not close to this, and civilians have to send it along the way."

Sitting there, Song Wei felt the pain in the wound on his abdomen, and he couldn't help but frown, his face becoming a little paler.

"Master General. I have no hope to count on these bastards. In my opinion, if we want to destroy Wang Jingwu's rebels and recover the two states of Zibo and Qi as soon as possible, there are only two choices. Either transfer Li Jing's Zhendong Army to come. Or, Song Wen and Dengzhou soldiers are stronger than these cowards. Moreover, with Song Wen and others, our direct number of soldiers will be able to destroy Wang Jingwu at that time."

Secretary Wu Zhen also nodded. The power of Li Jing and his Zhendong Army was obvious to all. If it were not for Li Jing this time, they would not say whether they could escape Wang Jingwu's Hongmen Banquet. Even if they escaped, Qingzhou would definitely not be able to be taken back for a while, let alone defeating the rebels on the Zishui River, beheading 3,000 and capturing 3,000.

Song Wei also knew how powerful Li Jing and Zhendong Army were, but he had to carefully weigh some things. Li Jing was halfway through, but suddenly returned to Dengzhou. The navy from Qingzhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou refused to surrender to the Dengzhou soldiers. When Li Jing arrived, they surrendered directly. This made Song Wen suspected that Li Jing deliberately let Wang Jingwu go by the Zishui River, and what kind of transaction did they make.

What's even more important is that although Li Jing's sword is sharp, it is a double-edged sword, which can easily hurt him if he is not careful. The current situation has proved his judgment. Compared with Wang Jingwu, Li Jing is not a good deal. However, Wang Jingwu is planning to be the position of the commander of the court, and now Li Jing does not have that big appetite, and is just planning to Dengzhou. But this has already revealed signs. Li Jing now has Dengzhou, and wait for his wings to be harder. At that time, he wants Qingzhou again, will he give it to him?

From the beginning, Song Wei had no intention of handing over the governor of Dengzhou to Li Jing, and he didn't even want to give him the military quotation of Zhendong Army. However, Li Jing had already taken the banner of Zhendong Army before coming. At that time, Li Jing was urgently needed, so he had to agree. However, in the memorial to ask the court for troops to be appointed as the envoy of Zhendong Army and the defensive envoy to Li Jing, but he did not mention the governor of Dengzhou. This was his strategy.

His plan was very simple, that he would first agree to the position of the Eastern Army envoy and the Defense Envoy of Li Jing, and then send the two tasks that he could have made the decision to the court. His plan was to let the backstage prime minister Lu Xie in the court reject the proposal because there were many reasons. After all, Li Jing was just a united village soldier a year ago. Whether it was talented or his life experience, it was not enough to allow him to take the position of the third rank within a year. He planned to wait until the court rejected it, and then he would come forward and promote Li Jing to a military envoy, and at most he would add a deputy envoy of the Dengzhou regiment training.

This is a very good plan, but who could have expected that the emperor would not only pass all of them at once, but also add so many official positions to Li Jing. Li Jing is now his general, but in fact he is on par with him. Especially Li Jing now has an official position of Anton Protector, who is also a marquis, and his Marquis of Wuning is a county marquis, while Li Jing is a county marquis, and both are marquis, but he is actually two levels higher than him.

The plan could not keep up with the changes and wanted to use the court to block Li Jing, but it was no longer possible. Li Jing ran too fast, so fast that Song Wei felt a threat that was even stronger than Wang Jingwu.

If possible, Song Wei certainly wanted to transfer Li Jing to come, but Li Jing quietly led his troops back to Dengzhou. It has been shown that except for him who can really hand over the position of governor of Dengzhou to Li Jing, Li Jing would not come again. If Li Jing does not transfer Li Jing and transfer Song Wen and Dengzhou soldiers to come, the result will definitely be taken by Li Jing at that time. It will be difficult to take back it when it comes to his mouth.

On one hand, Wang Jingwu's rebellion was not over, but on the other hand, Li Jing's sudden aggressiveness was also the one occupying the two prefectures of Zibo and Qi, while the other staring at Dengzhou. Song Wei felt that he was in a bad mood. The current situation seemed to be more troublesome than when he first came to Qingzhou.

"If Li Jing's Zhendong Army and Song Wen's Dengzhou soldiers are not transferred, will it be difficult to pacify Wang Jingwu only if we only have the troops in our hands?" Song Wei asked.

The people of Jie Shuai Zhu thought about it and finally shook their heads. It was not that they had no confidence, but that they were really a group of scattered sand and mobs, and how could they deal with such soldiers to the death?

Song Wei sighed a long time, as if he had grown much older. He thought that if he had forced Wang Jingwu to rebel, everything would be fine. Who would have thought that it would become such a mess?

He took out the letter sent by Song Wen, and he carefully read it several times.

After picking up and putting it up, letting it go and picking it up, and after repeated several times, he finally made up his mind. In the current situation, famines were everywhere in Shandong, and refugees were constantly coming. Wang Jingwu was already recruiting refugees to join the army in large numbers. If he dragged on like this, it would be even more difficult to quell the rebellion. If he delayed it for too long, even if the rebellion was quelled, he would be afraid that Ziqing Town would become a ruin.

Let’s just take advantage of Li Jing’s little wolf first, and then deal with Wang Jingwu’s blind bear.

"Judge Lei, please go to Dengzhou for me and pass on my command. From now on, Li Jing will take over as the governor of Dengzhou and serve as the defensive envoy of Dengzhou. Dengzhou will be stationed by Zhendong Army thereafter, and the remaining troops of Dengzhou will immediately lead troops to Zibo to quell the rebellion."

"Is it so cheap to Li Jing?" Kang Chenghui said unwillingly. They fought to death in front of them, but before they were taken down by Zibo and Qi, Li Jing digged Dengzhou first.

"Of course it can't be so cheap. Didn't Li Jing say that he would give us 100,000 stones of grain and grass and one million military expenses to quell the rebellion?" Song Wei said with a dark face: "Those are not enough. Let Li Jing take out 300,000 stones of grain and grass, three million yuan, and three thousand sets of swords, guns, bows, arrows, armor, 300,000 arrows, and one thousand war horses. When did he hand over these things, Song Wen handed over Dengzhou to Li Jing, otherwise even if the emperor appointed him as the defensive envoy, Song Wen would still be the governor and regiment envoy."

Although it would be a pity for everyone to hand over Dengzhou, it would be a good idea if they could get so many things back. What's more, Ziqing is really hard to support now. Lei Gang nodded, believing that Li Jing would be willing to accept this almost extortional condition.

Although Song Wei wanted a lot, Li Jing's wealth was clearly known to Lei Gang, who had been to Shamen Town, Dengzhou.

"Please rest assured, Jishuai, I will definitely go and come back early."

A general said, "Just let Li Jing make the flying fire, and then you can directly pacify Wang Jingwu."

Song Wei waved his hand, "This flying fire is a very secret thing. Li Jing didn't bring it himself last time. It can be seen that this thing is rare and rare. Even if we open our mouths, we might as well save it." After a pause, he said again: "If Li Jing is unwilling to bring so many things, Judge Lei, you can do it yourself, and it's okay to have less. The key is to bring Dengzhou soldiers as soon as possible."
