Li Hualong never thought that one day he would be able to appear in the southwest. Looking at the Chongqing government office in front of him, and thinking of Yang Yinglong who had rebelled, Li Hualong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Li Hualong was naturally called by Jia Jing. As an official who has been an official in the southwest for many years, he definitely has an extremely thorough understanding of the situation in the southwest. Now that the imperial court is using troops in the southwest, Jia Jing invited him back to guide the situation in the southwest.
coming.
Although Li Hualong received a lot of benefits from Yang Yinglong when he was an official in the southwest, it is public and private. Yang Yinglong can handle the counterinsurgency for Li Hualong in Sichuan, so Li Hualong naturally values Yang Yinglong and will try his best to protect Yang Yinglong. As long as Yang Yinglong does
If it wasn't too much, he would give him a sloppy look.
But now Yang Yinglong has directly rebelled! Let alone Li Hualong's resignation now, even if Li Hualong is still in office, he will not protect Yang Yinglong! This is too desperate!
So when Li Hualong heard that Jia Jing came to ask him some questions about the situation in the southwest, even though Li Hualong was already very old, he still ran all the way from his hometown in Zhili back to the southwest without hesitation!
Li Hualong's mood has been adjusted well, so even after he retired, he did not age instantly like other old people. Instead, he enjoyed himself more and looked rosy.
Li Hualong stayed in the government office for a while. The soldiers told him that Jia Jing was still handling some military affairs and met with the commander of the guard post and the chieftain chief who had been ordered to report during this period. Li Hualong did not feel that Jia Jing was neglecting him, so he drank slowly.
Waiting for Jia Jing with tea.
After a while, a young man wearing a dark purple round-neck python robe walked in. As soon as he saw this person's appearance, Li Hualong concluded that this person was definitely Jia Jing!
So Li Hualong hurriedly stood up to greet him. Jia Jing smiled and asked Li Hualong to take a seat. The two sides greeted each other for a while as usual, and then Jia Jing got down to the topic and said: "If it were not necessary, I would not be willing to let Mr. Li return at such an old age.
You have to travel thousands of miles.”
Li Hualong said with a smile: "The words of the Marquis are serious. I am still quite agile. Since the court still has use for me, I naturally dare not refuse. What's more, it concerns the overall situation of the southwest. How can I not go there in person?
Come?"
Jia Jing smiled and nodded and said: "Mr. Li's character is really admirable and he is definitely a role model for us. Since Mr. Li said this, I will no longer be polite to Mr. Li."
Li Hualong nodded, and Jia Jing said to Li Hualong seriously: "I know that Mr. Li has been an official in the southwest for many years and is very familiar with the southwest, so I specially asked Mr. Li to come back and explain it to me.
I am not familiar with the place, and I am commanding so many people to fight. Without your mature and prudent guidance, I would probably be blind."
Li Hualong smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's not really any advice. It's just that I have been in the southwest for a long time, so I know a lot about it. Now that Marquis Ning has mentioned it, I naturally know everything and can tell you everything...
………”
As he spoke, Li Hualong picked up some of the more important information he was familiar with and told it to Jia Jing. Jia Jing wrote it down one by one, and then said to Li Hualong: "I heard that when Mr. Li was an official, he
.........Have a close personal relationship with Yang Yinglong?"
Li Hualong smiled and nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit of a friendship. I have a lot to rely on him. Otherwise, the situation in Sichuan will not be easy to control."
Li Hualong didn't keep it secret, he even backed down. Moreover, it would be nice to admit this kind of thing openly. If you refute it, you will be even worse off!
He did accept bribes from Yang Yinglong, and the two of them did have some friendship. In a place like the southwest, it was impossible to avoid Yang Yinglong. As long as you wanted to govern this place well, you couldn't avoid the chieftain. If you didn't avoid the chieftain, you wouldn't be able to avoid the chieftain.
Maybe I won’t have anything to do with Yang Yinglong...
If Jia Jing doesn't need it because of her relationship with Yang Yinglong, then Jia Jing probably doesn't have many available people in the southwest...
Although Li Hualong is definitely related to Yang Yinglong, it does not mean that Li Hualong is completely loyal to Yang Yinglong. Between the imperial court and Yang Yinglong, anyone who is not stupid probably knows how to choose!
Therefore, Jia Jing did not refuse Li Hualong's suggestion just because Li Hualong had a good "personal relationship" with Yang Yinglong. On the contrary, it was precisely because Li Hualong knew Yang Yinglong better that Jia Jing specifically asked him to come back to guide her!
Li Hualong sighed and said: "Yang Yinglong is a more complicated person. He is reckless, but he is also quite talented. He has read a lot of books, but he cannot be called a scholar. He has a violent and murderous nature.
, what’s more, you have a lot of hills and valleys in your chest, and you have a somewhat majestic appearance!”
Jia Jing did not look down on the other party because he was a chieftain. Instead, he listened to Li Hualong's description very seriously. Li Hualong changed the subject and said: "But it is not necessarily true that this person is so talented and strategic..."
Li Hualong then told Jia Jing about some of Yang Yinglong's shortcomings, such as being irritable, impulsive and murderous, and not easy to get close to others.
Jia Jing secretly recorded in her heart that the two people chatted from morning to evening! Although the two people in the middle had a meal, they were not even idle at the dinner table.
After all, Li Hualong was getting older, so the little old man couldn't help but feel a little weak. His whole body felt a little wilted, obviously because of Jia Jing's hawk-like behavior.
Jia Jing also got almost everything she wanted, so she ordered people to take Li Hualong down to rest, but before leaving, Jia Jing asked Li Hualong one last question.
Jia Jing personally escorted Li Hualong out of the house. The two of them stood outside the government office. The sunset dyed the sky blood red. Jia Jing lowered her head and said softly to Li Hualong: "Mr. Li, I already have a candidate in mind for who will be in charge, but who will do it?"
The vanguard is still hesitant, this position is more important and I dare not give it to anyone easily, so I want to ask you, if you were in my position today, who would you want to be the vanguard general?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Hualong was disheveled and could hardly open his eyes. After hearing this, he still narrowed his eyes slightly and thought carefully for a long time before speaking to Jia Jing with a slightly hoarse throat.
He said: "There is indeed a person who is more suitable. If Marquis Ning doesn't dislike it, he can send someone to investigate. This person may be a pioneer!"
Hearing this, Jia Jing looked at Li Hualong and said, "I wonder who he is?" Li Hualong said softly, "Liu Ting, the governor of Sichuan's Xingdu Division, if you don't give up, you can go check on this person."
Then Li Hualong looked at Jia Jing meaningfully with his eyes, and slowly bowed his hands to say goodbye. Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly helped him get into the carriage, watching the carriage slowly disappear into the sky...
…
After Jia Jing thought for a moment, she said to Qingfeng behind her: "Go and check Liu Ting, the governor of Sichuan Xingdu Division."
"yes!"
…………
At this time, Yang Yinglong had already begun to extend his claws to the Longquan Division within the Guizhou Chief Envoy Department. Yang Weizhong, the guard of the Longquan Division, had been worried a long time ago. After all, if Yang Yinglong had any thoughts about Guizhou, then his Longquan Division was
The first to bear the brunt of the disaster!
Yang Weizhong only had 2,000 soldiers and horses, which was not enough to fill the gaps in people's teeth! So Yang Weizhong has been sending spies out to investigate in the past few days.
Finally, on this day, a spy from Longquan Division broke into his room anxiously: "Guard! Bozhou has sent 20,000 troops and horses, coming in our direction!"
Yang Weizhong was still lying in bed worrying, but when he heard this, he was so frightened that he rolled out of bed and said: "What... what?! Twenty thousand troops?"
The scout also nodded in horror. Yang Weizhong immediately slapped his head and stamped his feet. Twenty thousand people are needed to beat a Longquan Division? You, Yang Yinglong, think too highly of me!
Yang Weizhong scratched his head for a while. He definitely couldn't defeat 20,000 people, but he couldn't leave his post without authorization. But even if he didn't run away, he actually couldn't resist for long!
Two thousand people, against twenty thousand people, there is no suspense at all... He is not the ruthless Marquis who has three thousand to three hundred thousand. With two thousand people, he may be cold if he can't even make a splash.
!
So after thinking for a long time, Yang Weizhong could only say with some difficulty: "Immediately send someone to explain the situation here to the Commander-in-Chief and ask for help!"
The scouts hurriedly went after hearing this, and Yang Weizhong also hurriedly summoned all the soldiers from the Longquan Division. Everyone saw that there were so many people, and the garrison master still had such an expression, they basically knew what was going on.
Yang Weizhong just reassured the soldiers not to be afraid, support would arrive soon, and Yang Yinglong's 20,000 troops would not arrive so soon... Despite this comfort, Yang Weizhong knew in his heart that if they really came, they would
All must die!
After a while, the scout who went to convey the military information came back, and brought back a slightly desperate, but expected news from a man named Yang Weizhong: Chen Liangbi, the commander-in-chief of the Guizhou Xingdu Division, led his troops to guard a more important location.
The bridge is an important transportation route from Bozhou to Guizhou, so he has no troops to send...
In other words, Longquan Division was abandoned and they had no support!
Yang Weizhong had expected it, but he hesitated and refused to give up and said to the scout: "Then you go and report, saying that our Longquan Division is unable to resist Yang's thieves and requesting to withdraw into Guizhou!"
Fleeing without a fight? The scout looked at Yang Weizhong with some horror. What do you want me to say to the commander? Isn't he afraid that he was dragged out of the Meridian Gate for military law demonstration just after he finished speaking?
Yang Weizhong dodged his eyes, waved his hands and said: "Go quickly, go quickly! What are you looking at..."
In fact, if Yang Wei Zhongzhong has no choice, what else can he do? He can't fight again and again, and he has no support, so what else can he do if he doesn't run away?
Fortunately, as dusk approached, the scouts came back and brought exciting news to Yang Weizhong!
Chen Liangbi agreed to his request! And ordered him to retreat to the vicinity of Parrot Creek in Xuanwei Division, Sinan, and wait for the imperial army to move to Parrot Island.
It is estimated that Chen Liangbi did not want them to make unnecessary sacrifices, so he still gave them a very humane order to cultivate themselves temporarily and not to fight.
Yang Weizhong breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely all over his body, as if he could squeeze out as much liquid as he could!
Without taking a moment to catch his breath, Yang Weizhong hurriedly stood up and frantically ordered the soldiers to assemble urgently and quickly pack all the things they could bring with them. Those who could not be carried were burned and were not left to Yang Yinglong.
Son of a bitch!
The two thousand soldiers of the Longquan Division were quickly assembled and everything was taken care of. However, Yang Weizhong looked at An Minzhi, the chieftain of the Longquan Division, who came to see him off. He hesitated for a moment and comforted him: "Brother An, you'd better go with us."
I'll leave together, otherwise you won't be able to resist Yang Thief for long."
An Minzhi smiled and shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid of him. Although he has many soldiers and generals, he can't drive me away from my land!"
Yang Weizhong's expression changed, and he wanted to speak again, but An Minzhi waved his hand to stop Yang Weizhong and said: "Brother Yang, you and I have known each other for so many years, and you should know my temper. Unless you kill me, you can't even think of killing me."
I'm taken from my land!"
Yang Weizhong was silent, and An Minzhi smiled and said: "Brother Yang, don't worry about me, maybe Yang Yinglong is just a weakling..."
When Yang Weizhong heard this and knew that An Minzhi was trying to comfort him, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. He was about to be killed, but he wanted to be comforted by him who stayed and waited for death...
An Minzhi said seriously to Yang Weizhong: "I have another request that I hope Brother Yang can help me with." Yang Weizhong said seriously: "Please tell me."
An Minzhi said to Yang Weizhong: "I definitely want to stay. This is the mission given to me by my ancestors. As the chieftain of Dayan, this is also the responsibility given to me by Dayan. But these common people are just a bunch of miserable people."
People should not stay and die because of the matter between the court and the chieftain. I would like to ask you to take them on the road with you, please!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! An Minzhi saluted Yang Weizhong, and Yang Weizhong hurriedly stepped forward to help An Minzhi up and sighed: "Brother An, I promise you!"
An Minzhi smiled. At this time, the people of Longquan Division had obviously received An Minzhi's instructions, so they packed their luggage early. After Yang Weizhong bowed to An Minzhi, he got on his horse and led the people away.
.
The common people knelt down and cried bitterly to An Minzhi for a while, then got up and reluctantly left their hometown...
It was obvious that An Minzhi was a chieftain who cared about the people, so the people supported him in this way. Yang Weizhong looked at An Minzhi and his men standing there watching them go away, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
An Minzhi stayed not only unwilling to leave his homeland and the foundation of his ancestors, but also to buy time for them, although he and his five hundred soldiers could not last long...
Chieftain An Minzhi, his subordinate Liu Yuluan, and their families chose to stay in the place where they were born and grew up. They had a firm belief that they would die. In order to protect the escape of the villagers and officers and soldiers, they decided to live and die with the hometown!
Yang Yinglong's offensive pace has never stopped, desperately trying to expand himself, but Jia Jing is still in his Chongqing government office, looking through the information about Liu Ting that Qingfeng collected for him.
As expected, Liu Ting is from South Korea...
And it’s not just the ordinary kind, it’s the kind with an extremely close relationship! Liu Ting’s grandfather Liu Xian was one of the generals who followed the old Korean Duke into Sichuan, and he was a disciple of the old Duke from the beginning!
In other words, the Liu family has been working under the Korean father-in-law for three generations! If any family has such a disciple, they are almost as good as a family!
No wonder the old man looked at him like this before leaving. He obviously knew the situation in Beijing... Let's not talk about whether he could mobilize Liu Ting. Even if he did, the people under him were not greedy yet.
What about Gong, training students for a Korean father?
Besides, Liu Ting really doesn’t necessarily listen to his own advice! He and the Korean father have been with him for three generations, so why did you transfer him away? Doesn’t this mean that he has changed his family to some extent? After taking the credit you gave, he will still
Why go back to South Korea and work under the public servant?
Even if it can really be mobilized, the Korean public is developing its own power in Beijing. When he turned around, he saw that Jia Jing was poaching his corner... He was still the strongest corner...
…
If nothing else happens, Ren Jingli will most likely be his father-in-law. How will we meet this man who is blatantly poaching his father-in-law in the future...
Jia Jing felt a headache and pressed her temples, but after thinking about it again and again, Jia Jing decided to get Liu through it first. After all, the more important thing now is to maintain peace, not to worry about these court battles!
Jia Jing's choice for command is naturally Xue Qiu. He hasn't received many military honors during this trip. Now that he has finally caught up with a big one, maybe Xue Qiu will be able to rise to prominence directly!
Therefore, Jia Jing, the candidate for command, cannot be given up to others. This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as Xue Qiu can be promoted in one battle, it will be worthwhile to go out this time!
But to be honest, Xue Qiu's ability is definitely not enough. Jia Jing herself has no experience in commanding such a large battle, so Jia Jing must have come personally for most of her subordinates. As for the frontline battlefield, it must have been Xue Qiu.
Since the commander and the general are not very reliable, if the forward does not find an experienced veteran, this battle will be impossible to fight!
Li Hualong is right. Liu Ting is indeed a very suitable candidate. Although he is a third-generation official, he has also been on the battlefield since childhood! He also made great contributions in pacifying the Nine Silk Barbarians in the early years. After so many years of fighting with
The Nanwu Dynasty of Myanmar also fought many wars and can be said to be a battlefield veteran!
And...Liu Ting and Yang Yinglong also have a very good personal relationship! I heard that Yang Yinglong often goes to Chengdu Mansion to treat him to dinner and entertainment!
In this way, Liu Ting is really the best choice for the pioneering officer of Pingbo! After hesitating for a moment, Jia Jing made up his mind to focus on the important matters of Pingbo first!
