Chapter 14 Li Ju is here

In the next few days, Li Qing kept seclusion in the mansion. Except for occasionally going to the city wall to see the surrounding environment, he basically studied the map of Suiyang and Henan Road during the day, and studied every move that he had never tried before with Zhang Mingyue at night until he received a message.

The only order Li Yan issued after he arrived in Suiyang City was to ask King Guo Li Ju to take the prefects of Puyang and Jiyin counties to Suiyang City to meet him as the governor and discuss the issue of sharing the food.

A few days later, King Guo Li Ju sent back the news that he would arrive in Suiyang City within three days, and he specifically told Li in a letter that he would come with a grain truck. What does this mean? It goes without saying.

After reading this letter, Li Qing put it in his study, obviously not telling Zhang Xun and others what he meant.

After seeing the letter, Zhang Mingyue, who was passing by, was a little unhappy.

"The King of Guo wants 50,000 stones of food and grass, which is very unfavorable for defending the city. If so, let him come..."

"If he asked him to take away the food, would Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others not obey me, the Henan Jiedushi?"

"Since you all know the truth, why not be with these generals who are dedicated to the Tang Dynasty when they first arrived?"

"When did I say that I would give Li Ju 50,000 stones of food and grass? Since I decided to do some things, I would just do them bigger. Surprise things will work for everyone. My wife should have some experience these days, right?"

Speaking of this, Li Qing smiled evilly again. Zhang Mingyue felt his heart moving, and subconsciously responded to a famous saying: It was like a river of spring water flowing eastward!

Li Neng enjoyed the rare freedom and was familiar with everything around Suiyang City. Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan still sent scouts every day, staring at the direction that Yin Ziqi might have come from the north, but they could see a faint sorrow in each other's eyes, because Li Ju was about to arrive.

Li Neng did not express any comments on Li Ju's arrival, nor did he ask what the story of King Guo, who was named the prefect of Chenliu Qiao County and the censor, had before the story of King Guo who was named as the prefect of Chenliu Qiao County after An Lushan rebelled and was also the censor.

When Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan won a battle, Zhang Xun wanted to take this opportunity to increase the morale of the soldiers. He also asked Li Ju, who was in charge of them, and asked for some official positions and property, but Li Ju only gave twenty or thirty bodies of Zhe Chong Duwei and Guo Yi Duwei, and there was nothing left.

Zhang Xun wrote a letter to blame Li Ju, saying that now he is like this, and you still have the money left? Li Ju ignored Zhang Xun directly. Not long after, the food was distributed, and the meaning of it was already arranged clearly.

However, Zhang Xun did not tell Li Qing about this story. He was not the one who complained behind the scenes. Moreover, Li Ju was the great-grandson of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, who was a figure of Li Qing's grandfather. Although it cannot be said that Li Ju's status is high, this is not what Zhang Xun should have said.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Suiyang City was a little awkward, but Li Neng didn't seem to care until Li Ju and the others arrived.

"Jiangdu, King Guo and others have already arrived outside the city gate, look..."

Finally, Li Ju and others arrived outside the city and came to inform Li that it was Xu Yuan, and Zhang Xun did not show up.

"Then I'll send them the order to enter the city. I'll go to the inn to rest first. I'll see me here after an hour. By the way, you and Zhang Xun must be here too."

After leaving such a sentence indifferently, Li Qing waved his hand and asked Xu Yuan to deal with this matter.

Seeing that Li Qing's attitude towards Li Ju seemed to be that way, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Ju is indeed good at riding and shooting, and has read a lot of books. He is still a little capable. Otherwise, when An Lushan turned against him, Li Longji was ordered to take care of the Henan Dao area in danger.

But this guy has two characteristics: one is greedy for money and the other is good face.

Especially after he was temporarily entrusted with important tasks, he felt that he would not be able to lose this area of ​​Henan Province. Not only did he take the opportunity to make up a lot of money, but he also won over a few bad guys. These two prefects who followed him were two of them. Of course, it would be impossible for him to be welcomed by someone as tough as Zhang Xun.

"The King of Guo thought that we could take away those tens of thousands of stones of food?"

The prefect of Jiyin was actually the initiator of this matter. He suddenly got news that Li Neng wanted to lead troops to defend Sui Yang, but he thought this matter was in trouble, but Li Neng called for Li Ju to bring them with him, which made him feel a glimmer of hope.

"Since he is here, how can I go to waste? King Jianning is indeed a prince, but he is only old and has seen so many things. In terms of seniority, I am the same as the Supreme Emperor!"

After he said this, the two prefects were relieved. After all, when Li Yan arrived here, many people were rumored that he was defeated in the battle with Li Yu for the Grand Marshal. In other words, Li Yan could only be a county prince.

An hour later, a Suiyang soldier arrived at the inn and invited the three of them to the Jiedu Mansion where the plaque had just been hung.

Li Ju and the two of them went to the hall and found that there was no one inside. Li Qing did not show up and frowned at that time.

He had been hanging out in Henan for so long that almost every county had to give him some face, but obviously, Li Neng didn't take him seriously.

After waiting patiently for about a stick of incense, the sound of slow footsteps sounded outside the door. Li Yan stood in between, with Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan on both sides, and walked in like this.

"King Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your charm is still the same!"

Li Qing said this while walking. In other words, he didn't even look at Li Ju's face, and then he sat in the main seat with a big golden sword. When he really looked at Li Ju, he was already condescending.

"King Jianning is fine."

At this time, Li Ju's face was already three points unhappy, but he bowed his hand and replied lightly.

"If you wait for Chang'an City to be recovered, you can call it that in the imperial city, but in this Henan Road, you should call me the Jiedushi!"

Li Yan said this and the meaning was very obvious. His official position was the largest, and the entire Henan Road was under his control. Therefore, even if you are the King of Guo, you will be a subordinate in me.

"Jingdu, I'll wait here..."

As soon as he arrived, he ate a few big flies. Li Ju couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to hurry up and leave. However, before he could say this, he was interrupted by Li Qing.
