(A book friend said that the second chapter of today's update was a bit watery. When I was writing it, I was worried that everyone would not know much about Lu Longjun in Youzhou, so I wrote more. In order to make up for it, Muzi didn't have dinner, so I copied another chapter. This is a big chapter of 5,000 words. Today's fourth chapter, 17,000 words. Please vote!)

Liu Xun brought Li Keju to Zhang Hong's side, and after he came back, he reported to Li Jing: "The Uighurs ordered a thousand sets of weapons, a full set, including spears, horizontal knives, stair bows, single crossbows, cavalry bows, cowhide shields, square iron shields, iron armor, leather armor, and horns. They bought a thousand sets of armor, iron armor and leather armor. In addition, they bought a thousand war horses. He also took a fancy to our sabres, as well as chariots and gunboats. Zhang Lushi did not agree to give him a sabre and gunboats. This guy also inquired about our flying fire and divine fire, but Zhang Lushi ignored him."

The ordnances produced and sold by Zhendongjun are basically mass-produced mass goods. The ordnances equipped by Zhendongjun are all made from separate workshops, such as sabers, triangular spears, and gun flags. These are all unique equipments of Zhendongjun. Not only are the best materials used, but the technology is also completely different. These equipment are never sold outside and are completely equipped by themselves. There are also heavy crossbows and guns, which are also produced according to standard parts. They can be disassembled and combined at any time, and even the parts between the guns of each crossbow machine can be used with each other. During combat, if one is damaged, it will be repaired quickly, and it will be damaged. Some intact parts can also be disassembled for other uses.

These heavy crossbows and gunfires will naturally not be sold. As for flying fire and divine fire, these are the core secrets of Zhendong Army. The strategic-level weapon of the Killer Mirror. If you want to buy it, don't mention it.

"How much does Zhang Hong offer?" Li Jing asked casually.

"The whole set of 300 stakes, including war horses, is a total of 300,000 stakes." Liu Xun replied.

This price is indeed very cheap, and it can even be calculated as the ex-factory price. A set of iron armor is at least fifty silos, and a war horse is at least one hundred silos. What's more, the whole set they bought is only two bows and shields, and there is also a crossbow, and the armor is also iron armor, and each set of leather armor.

However, Li Jing doesn't have to worry about losses. These sold weapons have completely realized assembly line operations and unified standard parts. Because they used a large number of craftsmen and apprentices and ordinary workers, the production speed has been greatly improved and labor costs have been reduced a lot. With high output, the cost will naturally be lower. Anyway, in order to support the civil unrest in Youzhou, Li Jing didn't care much about the money that this batch of goods could make. At least, those thousand horses still made some money. South Liao is not in the mainland of the Central Plains, but this is the place where war horses are produced. Although horses are expensive, they have not reached the level of preciousness in the Central Plains.

"Would we send this batch of goods or should they pick it up by themselves?"

"They came to pick it up by themselves, but they asked us to help them load the ship and deliver it to the mouth of the Zhang River on the beach of Youzhou. Someone was waiting there, and they paid the goods directly when they received them, and then secretly transported them back to Guizhou. There were 300,000 guan and half of the money and silk."

"It doesn't matter." Li Jing waved his hand indifferently. "You go and invite Li Sima, Staff Li, Guo Zhanshang Study Room, Judgment Pei, Deputy Governor Wang, and Deputy Jun Lin to discuss matters."

When everyone arrived, Li Jing directly asked Zhang Xun to stay at the meeting. Originally, Zhang Xun's level was not qualified to stay, and Li Jing intended to cultivate Zhang Xun as his confidant, so in the moment, he asked him to stay and talk about the things he had previously negotiated with Li Maoxun.

Zhang Xun stood at the bottom, his face calm, but he was very excited to tell the story. Seeing this, everyone knew that Li Jing valued Zhang Xun. After Zhang Xun successfully grasped Li Jing's three-step strategy of managing Liaodong last time, the senior officials of the Andong Protectorate also valued Zhang Xun very much. At present, no one raised any objections.

After listening to Zhang Xun's statement quietly, Li Zhen asked: "This Li Maoxun is very brave and has a wild heart. However, even if they plan to initiate trouble under the name of Chen Gongyan, I am afraid that this matter will not be very successful. The master seems to think they can succeed?"

Li Zhen directly grasped the problem and agreed with Li Jing's support for Lu Long's civil strife. He did not ask Li Jing where this information came from, but directly asked Li Maoxun if he had the ability to succeed.

Li Zhen is currently serving as the Sima of the Zhendong Army and firmly sits as the first counselor under Li Jing. He is just over thirty years old. Although he is a scholar, he has also served as an imperial guard and is as strong as a 20-year-old young man. Even though he sits, he still looks tall, with long legs, broad shoulders, flat belly, and thin arms but strong muscles. He is wearing a scarlet official robe and a squid head, but he has a spirit of a Confucian general.

Li Maoxun had succeeded in history, but Li Jing could not answer him like this. He just smiled and said, "Although Li Maoxun was a surrendered Uighur, he has made many military achievements since he surrendered to Guo Zhongwu, and he is quite brave. Although his Qingyi army only had 3,000 troops, there were a large number of Uighur nobles and herdsmen in Guizhou. Armed these people, he was a powerful soldier. Besides, he did not intend to act recklessly, but planned to use Chen Gongyan's prestige. Many soldiers in Youzhou had long been dissatisfied with Zhang Gongsu and wanted to welcome Chen Gongyan to change the commander. In this way, Li Maoxun sent troops to attack Chen Gongyan's reputation and sent troops, and the resistance he encountered was definitely not strong. Although Zhang Gongsu had once had a reputation for being a general, he was cruel and unkind since becoming a general, and the soldiers were long dissatisfied with him. This time, I expect Li Maoxun would definitely win the position of General of Youzhou."

"Since that's the case, are the conditions offered by the Grand Marshal too low? It's only one million yuan after the matter is completed!" Guo Chengan asked.

Li Jing smiled, "In fact, it's just a fleet that can collect one million chunks by sending a fleet to the coast of Youzhou. This is a big deal. We can't intervene directly in Youzhou yet. This time, we just want to take the opportunity to add a fire and make Youzhou more lively. Even its just beating a rabbit."

Li Zhen and others were originally worried that Li Jing planned to intervene in Youzhou Town, but now they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everything followed as expected. The military transaction purchased by Li Maoxun was completed, and the navy brought back 300,000 yuan of goods. On July 23, Li Maoxun sent another envoy to come and asked Li Jing to send troops together on July 25.

On the 25th, Li Jing transferred more than 100 warships from the four naval battalions of Zhenhai, Nutao, Anlan and Fubo. He also carried ten battalions in southern Liaoning to take advantage of the night to shore on many coasts of Youzhou, Ji and Pingzhou on the coast of Youzhou, and raided ashore.

This time, Li Jing only said one thing to the troops in southern Liaoning, and went to the various divisions of Youzhou and let them plunder. Moreover, Li Jing only had half of the money, grain and goods he plundered, and the remaining half of the remaining plundering gains. Although each division had its own.

As soon as this sentence was said, the troops of the 10th battalion of Liaonan, who were hesitant, were excited. This opportunity for robbery was rare in the past. It is conceivable that with the four naval divisions of Zhendong Army behind the support, there is no need to worry about other problems. After robbing, you can take a boat and leave immediately.

Even the Zhendong Army was a little moved by such a good thing. However, Li Jing did not agree to the request of each battalion on the grounds of guarding southern Liaoning. He promised to plunder the 50% of the money and grain handed over by the troops of the 10 battalions in southern Liaoning, and then he took out 20% as a reward for the remaining battalions. Only then did the soldiers' enthusiasm for fighting was calmed down.

On the evening of the 24th, taking advantage of the night and fog, four naval camps plus 14,000 troops from ten battalions in southern Liaoning, a total of more than 100 warships of all sizes. They followed more than 500 sea ships of all sizes mobilized by Li Jing and set sail for Youzhou.

Liu Xun stood behind Li Jing and went to the dock to send the army to the expedition.

"Why, I want to go to Youzhou to grab a fight?" Li Jing turned around and happened to see Liu Xun staring at the fleet moving away.

Liu Xun pursed his lips and smiled: "Jixia just thought that Youzhou is lively now. However, Yixia never expected that the county duke would mobilize so many troops to steal Youzhou. It was a bit unexpected!"

"Anyway, Li Maoxun and Zhang Gongsu and others bite dogs, so we can't get involved. So, take the opportunity to grab one and let the brothers get extra money by the way." Li Jing chuckled.

"It's really that simple?" The city lord of Duli Town, now serving as the deputy governor of southern Liaoning, Duli Town Suppression Envoy, and Duli County Magistrate Wang Pu, looked at Bai Fan who was leaving, and heard Li Jing's words, turned to shake his head and smiled at his old friend Pei You.

Pei You looked at Wang Pu: "What do you think?" Pei You is now like Wang Pu, both Li Jing's father-in-law. To be honest, Pei You is more thorough in manufacturing Li Jing's principles than Wang Pu. He was once a rival of Li Jing, but now he became the general of Li Jing's supervision of Duli Town. Wang Pu is the commander of Duli Town, Pei You is the commander of Duli Town. Wang Pu is the county magistrate of Duli County, Pei You is the county magistrate. Wang Pu is the deputy governor of Liaonan, and Pei You is the judge of Liaonan Governor's Office. In addition to this, Pei You also serves as the judge of the Andong Protectorate and the judge of the Zhendong Army. His former subordinates have actually become his superiors.

Wang Pu looked at Pei You. Since surrendering to Li Jing, he seemed to have become younger. A glittering color was revealed in his eyes.

"I think the Protector sent a large army to rob Youzhou this time, not just to grab one and earn extra money. Although the Zhendong Army sent all four naval divisions, none of the other troops were sent out. Moreover, the Navy's mission this time was to escort the second wings of Liaonan and would not go ashore. Therefore, I think the Protector's decision was actually because after the reorganization of the troops in southern Liaoning recently, the soldiers of each battalion were a little depressed. This time, let them rob Youzhou was naturally the best way to relax. After everyone relaxed and vented, they naturally released their originally nervous and depressed mood. Some of the dissatisfaction with the county duke and Zhendong Army were naturally transferred to Youzhou."

Pei You smiled, no comment.

Wang Pu also stopped talking. In fact, he felt that things were not the only thing. Li Jing sent all the soldiers and horses from the southern Liaoning to Youzhou, and he should have the intention of using the Youzhou soldiers to weaken some soldiers in the southern Liaoning. In addition, the southern Liaoning army went to Youzhou, and Li Jing could have a big integration of the complex local forces in the five counties in southern Liaoning.

What is the same? Li Jing sent troops to rob Youzhou this time. He helped Li Maoxun seize Youzhou and restrained some of the troops in Youzhou. On the other hand, he also transferred some of the dissatisfaction of the Liaonan soldiers during this period to rob Youzhou. The Liaonan soldiers only collected half of their property, which was a move to bribe the Liaonan soldiers. On the other hand, if all these Liaonan soldiers were transferred, Li Jing could let go and integrate the current parties in Liaonan without any scruples to stabilize his control in Liaonan.

He won three goals at one stroke, killing three birds with one stone, and doing things without leaving any trace, and all parties are satisfied, Li Jing's work is becoming more and more stable and accurate.

On the 25th, Li Maoxun pretended to invite Chen Gongyan to discuss border affairs, but attacked him halfway. Then he immediately contacted the Uighur tribes of Guizhou and led the Qing Yi army to raise an army to initiate an army. He claimed that Chen Gongyan was dissatisfied with Lu Long's commander Zhang Gongsu and wanted to lead troops to expel Zhang Gongsu, calling himself Chen Gongyan's vanguard and attacking Zhang Gongsu.

Under the banner of Chen Gongyan, Li Maoxun rushed straight to Youzhou from Guizhou in the northwest of Youzhou along the Sanggan River. The Qing Yi army and the recruited Uighur soldiers totaled 8,000 soldiers and horses. It is said to be 20,000.

When Zhang Gongsu heard the letter, he hurriedly summoned the fang soldiers in Youzhou City to prepare for the battle.

Just at this time, Li Jing's four naval battalions sent 10,000 Liaonan soldiers to You, Ji, and Pingshan coast. Ten thousand Liaonan soldiers were divided into ten routes according to the battalions, launching raids to the counties along the three prefectures and looting various places.

Youzhou Town was focused on Li Maoxun's uprising, but unexpectedly, the backyard caught fire. Unexpectedly, Li Jing suddenly sent troops to cross the sea from southern Liao to attack. For a moment, he was trapped in a battle on both sides.

The Zhendong Army fleet even went up the river directly along the mouth of the Zhang River and Baoqiu River. Then it entered the canal and Lu River. It directly sent several battalions of Liaonan soldiers into the Yongnu and Huichang counties in Youzhou.

The Langya Camp guarded by Qin Zong was extremely fierce and directly attacked Yongchang County overnight.

The other battalions in southern Liaoning also had fruitful results. Before Youzhou Town could react, they had already captured the six cities of Xinchang County, Xincheng County, Anci and Gu'an in the south of Youzhou in a flash.

In a shock, Zhang Gongsu quickly sent a messenger to order the troops from Lulong to gather in the northwest of Youzhou to prepare for a decisive battle with Chen Gongyan and Li Maoxun. The troops rushed to the southeast of Youzhou to rescue them, asking them to regain the lost counties and attack the Liaonan army.

All the troops were dispatched, but when they rushed to Yongnu County as soon as possible, it was the next morning. The only one waiting for them was an empty city, with the gates wide open and no one could see inside. The people in the city either fled or were captured. After the Liaonan Army had robbed, the navy drove the ship directly along the canal to the outside of the city. Therefore, they simply loaded all the money and grains, and drove the young and strong men and women in the city to the outside of the city to ship. This time, the Zhendong Army dispatched more than 200 warships and more than 500 large sea ships. The powerful transportation capacity made the idea of ​​the Liaonan Army a reality.

The six cities of Yongnu, Huichang, Xinchang, Xincheng, Anci, Gu'an and Youzhou were successively recovered, but the four cities of Yongnu, Huichang, Anci, Gu'an have become empty cities. Not only are the treasury and civil warehouses empty, but the shops and houses in the city were also looted. Even the young and strong men and women in the four cities were all stolen.

Three days later, an urgent report was sent to Youzhou, saying that all six cities of Yongnu, Huichang, Xinchang, Xincheng, Anci and Gu'an were recovered, but the six cities were looted, and nearly ten young and strong men and women in the four cities were abducted. The troops of various units were pursuing, but the Zhendong Army had sailed into the sea and was not anxious to chase them.

Zhang Gongsu, who had been killed by Li Maoxun, almost fainted after seeing the letter. However, after hearing that the Zhendong Army had retreated from the sea after a big robbery, he couldn't help but feel more at ease. He immediately calmed down and led his troops out of the city to fight Li Maoxun.

The two armies fought each other on the Xishan northwest of Youzhou and on the north bank of the Sanggan River.

Li Maoxun's army had eight thousand soldiers and horses, all of them were cavalry, and they were newly equipped with a large number of armor and weapons bought from Li Jing, with high morale. Zhang Gongsu was only more than 10,000 people at this time, and many soldiers were unwilling to fight with him when they saw the banner of Chen Gongyan under Li Maoxun.

In the afternoon, the two armies began a decisive battle. From afternoon to dusk, Zhang Gongsu not only did not defeat Li Maoxun, but his soldiers became increasingly lazy in fighting. That night, the two armies retreated ten miles to set up camps. In the middle of the night, Li Maoxun selected 800 soldiers who dared to die from fighting and attacked Zhang Gongsu's camp at night.

The garrison arranged in Zhang Gongsu's camp saw Li Maoxun coming, not only did not resist, but instead opened a camp to welcome him. Li Maoxun rushed into the camp, and then Li Keju led most of his troops to come. Many Zhang Gongsu's subordinates surrendered without fighting. Zhang Gongsu was powerless, and finally led his personal army camp to flee south.

At dawn, Li Maoxun entered Youzhou and then claimed to be the governor and stayed in the queen. It was not until this time that the whole Youzhou realized that Chen Gongyan had not rebelled at all, and Li Maoxun was not Chen Gongyan's vanguard. But at this point, Li Maoxun had already captured Youzhou and had eight thousand elite cavalry under his command. In the end, the generals had to recognize Li Maoxun as the new agent, General Lu Long.

According to the Tang Dynasty's "Tang Ru Shuyi" formulated by the Emperor Gaozong's Yonghui period, there are ten crimes that are considered extremely serious and cannot be forgiven, namely the so-called "Ten Crimes Unforgivable". The first of these is "Treason Rebellion", "It means planning to invade the country", which means planning and implementing the overthrow of the existing regime; the ninth is "unrighteous", "It means killing the head of the government, governor, county magistrate, and attending the rank of the officials. The officials will kill the head of the headquarters or above; and when they hear that their husbands are dying, they will hide and not mourn. If they do fun, they will be interpreted and subject to auspiciousness and change." In short, it is unrighteous to kill the superiors.

In short, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Li Maoxun's behavior has violated two "ten evil" crimes at the same time. It can be said that the nature is very bad, the consequences are extremely serious, and the social harm is extremely great. No matter how severe punishment is, it is not excessive!

However, after learning about the serious vicious incident of "rebellion" and "injustice" in Lulong Town in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty did not make any special statement.

Soon, the imperial court sent the flags to Youzhou, and Li Maoxun officially became the governor of Youzhou.
