Chapter 78 Conspiracy
The day after Lai Hu'er's banquet, Lai Hu'er took his reinforcements to bid farewell to Li Bing and returned to Yulin County.
After seeing off Lai Hu'er, Li Bing was watching some documents compiled by Fang Xuanling. Some things were urgently needed to be handled by him. The burial of the soldiers who died in the war, the pension of the family, the restoration work of the Dingbei Army after the war had to recruit soldiers as soon as possible to make up for the loss of the battle, appease the people of Jiuyuan City, and repair the damaged city walls, etc., and Li Bing was so busy that he was worried. Although he could give these things to his subordinates, his subordinates could not decide some things, and he could only report the situation to him. Soon, he was lazy by nature and was annoyed by these things, so he found out that some of the irrelevant things were handed over to Li Daozong. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui studied and decided, while he hid in the room and kept warm with Zhang Qinyao.
After a few days of rushing, with the hard work of everyone except Li Bing, all matters were being carried out in full swing. Li Bing, who had no trouble, read military books every day and then inspected the training of the new recruits, which was very free and easy.
On this day, while Li Bing was having a fight with Li Yuanba, a personal soldier hurried over: "Report to the Young Marshal, the adult who sent the order in the capital has arrived and is waiting outside for the adults to greet him!"
"Receive the Imperial?" Li Bing felt very fresh. He had seen the emperor many times since he came to this era, but this was the first time he received the Imperial Imperial Imperial Immediately, he hurriedly called Li Yuanba and was about to go out, but was blocked by his personal soldiers. The personal soldiers were an old man from the Duke's Mansion, and he knew about these things. He quickly explained Li Bing's matters. Only then did Li Bing realize that there were still many etiquettes in receiving the Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imp
The person who read the imperial edict was Pei Yun, the third officer of Kaifuyi of Chang'an. He first greeted Li Bing happily: "Marquis Dingbei, Your Majesty is very happy to hear that Marquis Dingbei fought a big victory in the north. Marquis Li has earned back a lot of face for me, Great Sui, and is ready to reward Marquis..." Li Bing heard that Yang Jian was preparing to reward him again, and was very happy. Not everyone can make such a contribution. In his heart, what would Yang Jian reward him? Will he also be the same?
When he was happy to give him a princess, he heard Pei Yun turn the subject and say, "But the prince said that Dingbei Hou is too young and has not reached the crown. I am afraid that the reward will gradually become arrogant and extravagant. Moreover, Dingbei Hou took the initiative to ask to come to guard the border. Defeating the enemy is a matter of internal affairs. It is better to remember the merits first. It will not be too late to accumulate merits after the great merits are accumulated. Your Majesty also thinks that the prince's words are reasonable. But it is unreasonable to not reward such great merits. Dingbei Hou, kneel down and accept the order!"
"My deputies from Li Bing!" Li Bing quickly knelt down. Li Yuanba, Su Dingfang and other generals came out behind him, and quickly knelt on the ground. When Li Bing heard Pei Yun's words just now, he felt so angry with Yang Guang. Yang Guang, do you think I don't know what you are fighting for? Okay, our two gangs have formed a grudge, and a gentleman takes revenge. Ten years is not too late. Anyway, you are also a destruction emperor who should be ruined. But Li Bing knew that Yang Jian is still in power, and Li Bing was unwilling to tear Yang Guang apart for Yang Jian's sake. Besides, although his power is not weak at present, if he is an enemy of the entire Sui Dynasty, the soldiers in the Sui Dynasty drowned himself with one spit and his family is still in Chang'an, so he can only choose to endure and breathe a sigh of relief.
"The command said: Dingbei Hou defeated 50,000 Turks in Jiuyuan City, and made great contributions. I am particularly pleased that he granted 100 taels of gold and 5,000 guan of money, and was awarded the title of champion general, Ziguang Lu Dufu. The former general of Dingyuan Li Yuanba was promoted to General Mingwei, Deputy General Su Lie of Dingbei Army, Qin Yong was granted the title of General Zhengbei, and the general of Dingbei Army was Xu Shiji as the general of Pingbei. The rest of the people saw that their military achievements were rewarded. Dingbei Army gave him hundreds of oysters of imperial wine and thousands of pieces of silk and satin. I was here!"
"I am here to thank you!" Li Bing and others quickly thanked him, and then took the imperial edict with respect with both hands, but in his heart he was secretly scolding Yang Guang for being troubled. If it weren't for him, how could he have rewarded less than 10,000 yuan of money, and even a few positions were dismissed, he would have been sent like a beggar.
Just as he was thinking about the resentment turned into a fine needle that was pricked on Yang Guang, his face was filled with joy. Pei Yun, Su Dingfang and others also had formal imperial titles. Although it was just a false position, they were also considered people who were eating official food. Li Bing ordered the Huotou Army to prepare well and invite the adults from Chang'an. However, he returned to his room with his hands in his hands, and threw the imperial edict on the wall. Zhang Qinyao saw that Li Bing's smile suddenly turned blue after he came in, and then put the silk cloth on his hand on the bed. She picked it up curiously and looked at it, and immediately covered her little mouth and giggled. Seeing Zhang Qinyao's appearance, Li Bing hugged her in his arms, venting his desire for hands and feet, and then let go of the beauty who was flushed and limp in Li Bing's arms.
When Li Bing came out of the room, the gloom on his face had long disappeared. In fact, he was not angry that Yang Jian didn't give much reward. Now he just wanted to quietly develop his own power, and he didn't want to be exposed to the eyes of everyone too early, so Yang Guang's approach was actually just helping him. What he was unhappy was just Yang Guang's intervention in these matters.
After seeing Pei Yun away, everyone's lives were filled with peace. The smooth development of the recruitment work made the Dingbei Army immediately filled up, and the training for the new recruits was also carried out smoothly. The two thousand Turkic soldiers captured and returned tragically became slaves of the Dingbei Army. Now, everything else except training for the Dingbei Army has been handed over to these slaves.
In the tent of the Dingbei Army, the generals of the Dingbei Army were summoned here by Li Bing to hold a strategic expanded meeting.
"I'm asking you to come today to hear your opinions. Last time, we were defeated by us, and lost more than 40,000 troops. The Turks have always been in a bad population. Now there are so many soldiers at once. I must be seriously injured. As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness and killing you. I want to lead troops to fight against the Turks in person. I wonder what you think?" Li Bing sat upright on the chair of the top leader, scanning the generals in the tent, without the dandy he used to ask seriously.
"I wonder how many troops the young marshal is going to take?" The generals did not say anything, but Du Ruhui stood up and asked.
"Ten thousand soldiers and horses are all cavalry. I will personally take 10,000 soldiers and horses to siege the Turks and completely resolve the Turkic rebellion!" Li Bing said.
"But after the last battle of the Dingbei Army, only 1,500 cavalry remained. Where did this number of ten thousand come from?" Fang Xuanling also stood up and asked.
"Last time I seized more than 10,000 war horses, I plan to transfer all infantry into cavalry, train for a while, and then pull them directly to the grassland, but this is not a good idea. In this way, I posted a notice to recruit cavalry in large quantities, saying that this marquis would also lead to fight against the Turks! At that time, we will mainly recruit cavalry in the world, and if there is not enough, we will use infantry to make up for it!" Li Bing said.
"If the young marshal personally fights, what should I do about Wuyuan County?" Fang Xuanling asked again. This matter is not a trivial matter. After all, in Wuyuan County, Li Bing has the final say. Since defeating the Turkic army, Li Bing's prestige has reached an unprecedented height in Wuyuan County. Now the power of the county magistrate has been almost wiped out by Li Bing. If Li Bing is not here, he must designate someone to manage daily things.
"I have been considering this matter for a long time. After this marquis set off, the matter of Wuyuan County will be handed over to Fang Qiao and Du Ruhui. If there is anything, you two have to discuss it. As for Li Daozong, let's go to war with me! Do you still have any questions?"
"Young Marshal, I wonder who are you going to take to this in person?" Su Dingfang thought about it and said.
"This time, this time, I will follow Yuanba, Daozong, Su Lie, Liu Chengfeng and others. Qin Yong and Xu Shiji stayed in Wuyuan to guard the Dingbei Army camp!" Li Bing said slowly after looking at everyone. He had intentions to do this. On the one hand, he needed a think tank like Su Dingfang to help him out with advice. On the other hand, Xu Shiji was good at using troops and presided over government affairs, and Qin Yong was the old man who had always followed him. He was more at ease with these two guarding his base camp. Then Li Bing saw that everyone had no objections and made a decision: "Since everyone has nothing to ask, then this matter is settled. It is the end of September. Let's go down and prepare for a month. By the end of next month, we will go to the Turks to directly erase this disaster from the map!"
The generals took the orders and left, and then the camp of the Dingbei Army was full of training scenes, and all combat preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
The generals were all busy, but they were not busy with our protagonist. The day was clear and the weather was clear. Our protagonist brought Zhang Qinyao and the white light that had recovered its might. He followed a few personal soldiers, put on the clothes of ordinary literati, and appeared on the streets of Jiuyuan City in a swagger.
Li Bing hasn't come out for a long time recently, so when the people on the street saw a young man with a white tiger beside him, they knew that it was Lord Dingbei Hou who came out again, and hurriedly came forward to greet him one by one. Li Bing was not impatient at all, and they all nodded with them with a smile, and sometimes they would ask them kindly how their life is now. When the people saw Zhang Qinyao, who was so beautiful around Li Bing, they were not stingy with their praise, which made Zhang Qinyao blush with her face.
Li Bing and Zhang Qinyao were just wandering around the street aimlessly, not knowing when several figures appeared behind them.
"You read that right, are they?" asked a figure.
"You can't read it wrong, they are them!" a figure said hurriedly.
"That's fine, huh, let's see where you run this time!" The man who obviously looks like a leader said silly. This chapter was first published by ""
