The Yiwu Army is located at the northernmost part of the "barrier" established by the Xuanwu Army, and isolates Hedong and Lulong's bridgehead. The current Yiwu Jiedushi is Wang Chuzhi, who was originally the younger brother of the former Jiedushi Wang Chucun and served as the uncle of the Jiedushi Wang Gao.
Strictly speaking, the Yiwu Army was not both one of the towns in Hebei and not the towns in Hebei. The original Hebei did not have a town like the Yiwu Army. In the traditional sense, the three powerful vassals in Hebei were Lu Long, Cheng De and Wei Bo. When Emperor Dezong was in the dynasty, the emperor found an opportunity to split Cheng De, and set up two prefectures from it, and set up the Yi and Ding prefectures to manage the Yiwu Army. For more than a hundred years, the appointment of the Yiwu Army's governor was controlled by the Zhengshitang. From then on, the Yiwu Army became the nail for the imperial court to monitor the Hebei towns, and was also the advance base for the imperial court to conquer the three towns in Hebei, and had been away from the Hebei towns.
It was not until after the Huang Chao war, that the prestige of the court was ruined and various towns and towns became independent. The then governor Wang Chucun gradually broke away from the control of the court and relied on the people of Hebei to control the land. Therefore, it was only in the past twenty years that the Yiwu Army gradually integrated into the Hebei vassal system.
The Yiwu Army had few lands, were not rich in resources, had few major generals, and did not rely on strong towns to support him, so he had no ability to stand on his own. The ability of the governor Wang Chuzhi to ascend to the position of Jiedu was due to Zhu Quanzhong's support and recommendation, so Wang Chuzhi could only obey the command of Xuanwu Army. When encountering "small things" like Lulong merchants building bridges, he did not dare to make a decision and insisted on recruiting officials to Hebei to report.
Will any merchant run to Laishui and spend money to build a bridge by himself? Which merchant would be so stupid? Yuan Xiangxian runs many shops at his own home. He is such a good person. Needless to say, he must have built a bridge at the Lulong Jiedu Mansion, and it must be stopped! Laishui is an important support for the northern barriers. Once Lulong opens up Laishui, it is equivalent to opening a gap in the northern barriers, which is absolutely not allowed.
The reading was delivered to the Yiwu Army Jiedu Mansion three days later. Wang Chuzhi received the military order to recruit the envoy and immediately ordered the Laishui County Magistrate to ban the bridge building of the Yaoji shop.
In accordance with the order of the Jiedu Mansion, the magistrate of Laishui County sent three squads of the county government to get people. More than a dozen constables rushed to the shore of Laishui and wanted to disperse the craftsmen who built the bridge, but Yao Ji's shop actually arrested the warriors they hired and drove the servants back.
Seeing the blue-faced and swollen constables, the Laishui County Magistrate was furious and immediately recruited the young and strong people in the county town, gathering a hundred people to go. But when he arrived at the riverside, the Laishui County Magistrate did not dare to move. Hundreds of warriors were waiting for the shore, with bright swords, guns, swords and halberds in his hands, and his equipment was much stronger than his own.
The Laishui County Magistrate had no choice but to return in disappointment and asked the Jiedu Mansion for help overnight. He said that warriors gathered along the coast of Laishui, and hundreds of raiders were vaguely trying to attack the county town. Now he could only recruit Ding Dengcheng, a man in the city, and hoped that the Jiedu Mansion would send troops to fight.
There are many rangers, many strong soldiers, and many dare to fighters in Hebei. Many of these warriors are supported by wealthy families, and Wang Chuzhi didn't feel strange, but he was surprised that a shop could hire hundreds of warriors, "very vaguely threatening the city." This is really not easy.
In any case, according to the order of the recruiting headquarters, the bridge could not be built. Wang Chuzhi immediately clicked Zhang Gongqing, the general stationed in Yi County, and asked him to "attack and suppress the thieves."
Li Xiaoxi laughed and interrupted Zhang Gongqing's endless talk, saying, "Zhang Bingma doesn't know anything. First, Li Jiedu has no intention of being involved in Yi Ding, at least not for the time being. As for relying on Xuanwu, he doesn't know much, so Zhang Bingma doesn't have to worry about it. Li Jiedu said that Hebei is Hebei from Hebei. As a Hebei native, someone has the ability and responsibility to manage Hebei well and let Henan people stool on their heads. What is this?"
Speaking of this, Li Xiaoxi paused slightly and looked at Zhang Gongqing with a smile. She saw Zhang Gongqing blushing, avoiding Li Xiaoxi's gaze, turning her eyes toward others, wandering.
Li Xiaoxi was very proud. His words were quoted from Li Chengzhong. When he heard this sentence, he felt deeply and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as a Hebei warrior. At this moment, he took them out and repeated them in front of the two armies, and it immediately had an effect. Except for Zhang Gongqing who did not dare to look at him, many of the sergeants in the front row of the Yiwu Army formation lowered their heads.
Li Xiaoxi continued: "Secondly, I did not come for military affairs, and I never had the desire to fight with all the brothers of the Yiwu Army. Zhang Bingma also heard it just now. He is now the owner of Youyan Security Corporation, a company, and he makes a living by guarding. Now, Yao Ji shop Yao Dongzhu hires someone to protect Yao Ji's business. He takes money and eliminates disasters with others. As long as Zhang Bingma does not interfere with Yao Ji's bridge building, he will naturally not draw his sword to the Yiwu Army. Furthermore, Yao Ji's bridge building is a good thing. Lai Shui is connected to each other, and the people get favors, and you will benefit. This is a move that can be achieved in one fell swoop! You are all brothers from Hebei. Why do we Hebei people fight for each other and let outsiders get the advantage?"
Zhang Gongqing was a little confused, and he asked, "Li... Mr. Li didn't come for military affairs? He hired him for the boss of Yao Ji? This..."
"Haha, please see Zhang Bingma, are these security guards in a certain company still young and strong?"
"Security Guard?..." Zhang Gongqing was in a lawsuit.
"Well, security guard. Ensure peace and protect the safety! Zhang Bingma, is his army still sharp? Are his army still strong? Speaking of which, these things were prepared by someone who did this business... Come on, I will explain it in detail to you..." He said to Zhang Gongqing at the moment of Youyan Security Corporation, and finally said: "Zhang Bingma, I think your brothers seem to lack military armor, and they may not have enough food and salary? I wonder if Zhang Bingma is interested in joining this security company, the position of manager of Yizhou Branch is Zhang Bingma!"
Zhang Gongqing was stunned when he heard that Li Xiaoxi's various encounters were incredible, but it seemed reasonable. He couldn't help but feel a little moved. The Yiwu Army was remote in its territory, with few people and few things trapped, and it was not easy to raise soldiers. Just in front of him, the troops he brought were inferior to the opposite side in terms of equipment and morale. If it was really possible to set up a security company as Li Xiaoxi said, it would seem that it would be fine...
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly realized that he was here to attack the thief under the order of Wang Jiedu Jun. How could he have accomplices with the other party? He quickly shook his head and refused. Although he refused, Zhang Gongqing had no intention of "attacking the thief" and he might not be able to beat him. The other party seemed to be just hired by Yao Ji's shop, not Lu Long invaded. What happened? Please ask the Jiedu Mansion to give a message.
After such "communication", Zhang Gongqing's hostility towards Li Xiaoxi was eliminated a lot. As the saying goes, Li Xiaoxi is so intimate, and Zhang Gongqing is not good at sternness. Moreover, he also admires Li Xiaoxi a little. After all, he once led troops to pursue Li Xiaoxi back then, but Li Xiaoxi looked like he had no desire to hold a grudge, and his mind was really not simple.
The two of them withdrew their troops and said goodbye. Li Xiaoxi was still guarding Yao Ji building a bridge, and Zhang Gongqing ordered his troops to return to Laishui County and sent someone to report to Dingzhou for a reply. (To be continued...)
