-------------------------------------------
"The lower-ranking officials all thought that the imperial court's order to split the capital was a mess of life. This must not be the emperor's original intention. It must be that Tian Lingzi, a thief, was obsessed with the sage and slandered the king. The lower-ranking officials thought that such chaos did not need to be followed. What's more, it is the important time to destroy Goguryeo, and the king's orders are not accepted. The lower-ranking officials are willing to jointly write a letter to the court, please take it back."
On the east bank of the Liao River, Li Jing was sitting on the newly built inspection platform, which was a high platform for the upcoming military parade. However, now, this plain school stadium has become a stadium. Each army has formed a team to hold the Mid-Autumn Polo Championship. Now this game is the first game of the game. The two elite cavalry units of the Crane Control Cavalry and the Silver Gun Jie Army each sent an elite polo team to compete for the top and bottom.
Li Jing and the top leaders of the town came to watch the game and cheer. Li Zhen sat next to Li Jing, but he had no interest in watching this wonderful polo game.
The emperor passed the imperial edict, and Li Zhen suddenly became the new governor of Denglai Town. In a blink of an eye, he was put on the fire to roast.
It would be false to say that Li Zhen was not moved by the position of the governor of the town **, but he almost didn't have to think about it and understood the serious surname of this matter. Li Jing didn't seem to be in Dengzhou for a long time, and the army of the town ** was not formed for a long time. Even the sixteen states under his rule were mostly territories established within one or two years.
But as Li Jing's first strategist, Li Zhen knew very well that the town was no better than other places. This was a brand new model. Li Jing started his own army and grew stronger with trade. Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers had already formed a complete and stable chain of interests.
No one wants this chain of interests to be broken. The 200,000 troops in the capital enjoy better treatment than the Shence Army. How could they be willing to give up all this?
Li Zhen was unwilling to do so. Although the position of Jiedu is very powerful, he is now under Li Jing's command and his power continues to rise. His position in the capital is not lower than that of the new Jiedu.
Moreover, although Li Jing had not made any moves after receiving the order, Li Zhen knew that Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Chong had already met Li Jing one after another. In addition, Li Jing's disciples, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Siji and others, had also entered to meet Li Jing. The Shengjie Army led by Zhou Dewei, Lin Wu's Yin Gujiajie Army, Wang Chong's Pang Yu Army, and Li Juyi's Crane Control Army were all mobilized.
Li Jing looked very excited and very enthusiastic about polo.
He slapped his chin hard, cheered for a wonderful long pass on the field to cooperate with the goal, and said with a smile: "The emperor's edict was issued by the three provinces, representing the Tang Dynasty court and the law. As ministers, we must abide by it."
After Li Jing received the order, he publicly expressed his thoughts for the first time. In the entire box, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Lin Wei, Wang Wu and other senior civil and military officials stared at Jingting.
"The emperor abolished the Anton Protectorate, split the towns and **, established the five feudals, promoted the teacher and Xingxu to the five towns and commanders, and awarded the generals the senior positions of the Five Towns and the governors, as well as the governors of the states. This is the emperor's reward for all the merits, so everyone can accept it." Li Jing looked in a good mood.
However, no one of the civil and military officials here felt relaxed.
Li Jing is the town. Without Li Jing, there will be no town.
Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing and couldn't guess what the disciple thought. But at this moment, he knew that he should say something. Standing up, Cui Yunqing smiled and said, "I am old and impatient with official business and are preparing to retire and live a life of retirement. I can't accept this appointment from the court."
Cui Yunqing made a statement, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Gai Yu, and Guo Cheng'an, the other four new governors, also expressed to Li Jing that they would never accept the new appointment of the court.
"The prince, the town cannot be divided. Now if the prince takes a step back, the Tian Bishe will split the town. Without the town, how could Tian Bishe let the prince and us go? No one can even exile thousands of miles away, I am afraid that there will be no place to die." Gai Yu said loudly. He had embraced Li Keyong and turned against the Tang Dynasty. Now he naturally looked down on the position of Jieshen in the Tang Dynasty. What he was more looking forward to was able to embraced Li Jing to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
In his opinion, it is not impossible to seize the world with Li Jing's ability. Being a founding hero of Long Yuanzuo would be better than a military governor of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, if Li Jing fell like him, he would definitely not be able to escape the liquidation.
"Just just turn the ball around!" Guo Chengan, with half-white hair, also shouted loudly. He was a powerful man in Beisha City, southern Liaoning, and could not be considered a Tangren at all. Following Li Jing, no matter what aspect, it was very good. Since that's the case, it would be better to turn it around. What's more, he had long seen that Li Jing had no intention of handing over military power. In his opinion, Li Jing's current statement was just to test the hearts of the people. Since that's the case, he naturally had to make a stand.
Li Jing does have the intention to wait and see people.
For Li Jing, since he chose to be a warlord, he had expected that such a day would be sooner or later.
Fortunately, this day has not arrived until today.
This gave Li Jing a lot of time, allowing him to reach this day and truly have the capital to resist.
Li Jing did have a rebellious intention, but he has not yet rebelled. It's just that Li Jing felt that as long as it was not a last resort, he devoted himself to developing and expanding his power. Although he has handed over a lot of money and food to the court every year in recent years, he has also won more time.
It was precisely through this time that Li Jing occupied southern Liao from a small Dengzhou, then took Liaodong and Ziqing again. After taking Ziqing originally, the court might have to transfer him, and he also planned to turn the court into flip the cards at that time.
However, the imperial court gave him one more year, which not only captured western Liaoning, but also captured Ji and Tanzhou.
At this point, Li Jing occupied the Shandong Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, and the northeastern Youzhou.
If the court did not issue this order, Li Jing even planned to continue to develop, and after the destruction of Goguryeo and Khitan, it would develop steadily for a few years. After Huang Chao completely disrupted the Tang Dynasty, he would come to clean up the mountains and rivers.
However, things will not always be so smooth.
However, the imperial court wanted to cut off the town, but Li Jing did not scare him. After all, Li Jing was actually waiting for the arrival of this day, and Li Jing was completely fearless if he could delay it until today.
It’s really time to turn the trump card!
However, I have to say that Tian Lingzi split the town and then appoint Li Zhen and others to have a good strategy.
Li Jing couldn't guarantee whether Li Zhen and others would be moved by this.
Since receiving the order, Li Jing has been watching the reactions of the generals.
There are nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in the town. Li Jing is not afraid of rebelling. What Li Jing is worried about is internal instability.
No matter how strong a fortress is, it is often breached from the inside.
But now it seems that people can be used. Li Zhen, Guo Cheng'an and others are still on his side. Even Cui Yunqing and Gai Yu, who have always been worried, are firmly standing on their side.
"The Emperor's Holy Lord is about to go to the eastern capital Luoyang. Zheng Cong-chi and Cui Anqian and Zhang Zimian will lead 20,000 troops to Liaodong." Li Wei informed the news that the Xiaoqian Commander knew, "The Emperor will bring 30,000 Shen Ce Army to Luoyang, and will also summon at least 20,000 elite troops from each town along the way to accompany the troops. Zheng Cong-chi's 20,000 troops will include Zheng Cong-chi's Hedong Army, and Zhuanqian's old subordinate Zhongwu Huangtou Army, and Zhang Zimian's old subordinate Yingzhou Army. The three armies will have 20,000 troops, and the Xia Yintuoba Dangxiang Cavalry, Tiande Helian Tuyuhun Cavalry, and there will be three cavalry in Anqing, Sage, and Qibi in Datong. The three towns of Hedong, Zhongwu and Xuanwu have 20,000 troops and 15,000 foreign cavalry. A total of 35,000 troops, including 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry."
"The person who came was not good!" When everyone heard that Zheng Congyi brought more than 20,000 troops and even had five foreign cavalry coming, they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. It was obvious that Zheng Congyi mobilized these 35,000 elite troops into Liao, not for Goguryeo or Khitans, they were coming for the town.
If Li Jing handed over the military power, then Zheng Cong-qi would be responsible for monitoring the town's disarmament.
If Li Jing refused to trade military power, then they would definitely raise their swords and slash towards Zhen**.
"Zheng Cong-sei led 20,000 troops from Hedong and Wufan cavalry to Datong, into the grassland, and then into western Liaoning. Cui Anqian and Zhang Zimian led 15,000 people to Ziqing along the Ji River."
"The prince, should withdraw his troops immediately from then on, and his troops will be stationed in Pingzhou, Yingzhou and Ziqing."
"What are the reactions of the towns in Hebei now?" Li Jing suddenly asked Li Wei.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, "Weibo Town and Tiande Town were a little worried about the imperial court's appointment of the prince as the military marshal of Hebei Road and the observation ambassador. Yiwu Town expressed support, Yichang Town did not respond much, and Lulong Town responded the most. After Liu Yue and Li Quanzhong heard the news, they were already preparing their troops."
"This is a good thing." Li Jing suddenly chuckled.
After thinking about it, Li Jing said again: "There is at least one month before Zheng Dutong arrives. This period is not long or short. I think we should destroy Goguryeo first."
"Prince, this matter cannot be done. If Goguryeo cannot be destroyed within one month, we may be attacked from both sides. Besides, there is a great Khitan enemy to the west." Li Liang opposed it.
Gai Yu also suggested: "The subordinates think that the current government should focus on the military and horses of the court. It is better to take the initiative to attack. As long as you defeat Zheng and Cui, and then submit to the court, refusing to disband the town**. I think the court will have to take back the fate when it comes."
Li Jing shook his head, "No, I have decided to destroy Goguryeo within one month!"
