Late Tang

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

It's time, Li Jing must fight back, if the tiger doesn't show his power, they really all regard him as a sick cat.

Li Jing's forbearance at the beginning was still hoping that Gao Pian's behavior would have a bottom line.If Gao Pian climbed onto his head just because Li Jing came from behind, and he was upset and wanted to make trouble for Li Jing, Li Jing could bear with it.If he can be sent away with some money and food, Li Jing is willing to pay the money.

But now, Gao Pian's actions have broken through the bottom line of Li Jing's tolerance.

Although Gao Pian didn't send troops directly to Li Jing, he got stuck directly on Zhen [***]'s neck and touched Li Jing's Ni Lin.

Dragons have inverse scales, you will die if you touch them!

Now Gao Pian has touched Li Jing's Ni Lin, but it will not be Li Jing who will die, but Gao Pian.

After such a long period of immersion in development, the current town [***] does have the capital to look down on the world.

"I have [-] sharpened swords! Since there are people who want to try their skills, we will help them!"

Crossing the cool and cold street in the bleak autumn wind, Li Jing appeared on the Heavenly Wolf Festival Hall. The high-level civil and military officials in Dengzhou Town had already been waiting for him. Li Jing threw off his robe and sat down. Said.

Of course, when he walked from the county prince's mansion all the way to the Shuai mansion's festival hall, and sat on the iron chair, Li Jing's sanity returned to him, and his whole body became much more sober.After all, it is impossible to go to war directly with Gao Pian and other towns, but you can knock the mountain to shake the tiger first, and show your determination and attitude.

"Wang Jingwu is crazy now, what's the situation over there?" After Li Jing sat down, he immediately chose a chicken to scare the monkeys.

Gongsun Lan's daughter is dressed as a man, wearing a veiled head and a blue cotton robe, looking like a handsome man.Waving the piece of paper he was holding in his jade hand, he said in a crisp voice, "Well, Wang Jingwu has been really crazy recently, to be exact, he has become a mad dog, a mad dog who worked for Gao Pian."

"For more than a year, Wang Jingwu has completely tossed the eight counties assigned to him into hundreds of miles of uninhabited people. The department has long been reduced to robbers in official clothes, robbing everywhere. Until a few days ago, Countless subordinates fled and died of starvation. There were only 2 of the [-] people who were recruited by force. Recently, Gao Pian gave Wang Jingwu a batch of food and grass that he had stolen from us, and asked him to start looting our land along the Jishui line. Counties. Although the town troops in each county have repeatedly repelled them, they have given us a lot of trouble. In January, seventeen villages were destroyed and more than a thousand people were killed..."

"Bang!" Li Jing slapped the case hard, his brows were full of seriousness.

"At the beginning, I promised Song Shuai that I would not do anything to Wang Jingwu for three years. However, that was because he was honest. Now, since he dares to seek death, we don't need to be polite."

Song Wei asked Li Jing not to kill Wang Jingwu within three years, the main reason was that although Li Jing had a great reputation, his territory was only a small one in Dengzhou.At that time, he was not strong yet. Although he could swallow Ziqing Town and kill Wang Jingwu in one go, he still couldn't face the consequences that followed.

But now, after such a long period of development, although it has not been three years, Li Jing already owns the land of ten states, with [-] soldiers, and more than [-] United Army and township soldiers. The territory is vast.

Especially now that Wang Jingwu is acting like a dog attacking others without knowing life or death, Li Jing has both strength and reputation.

Using Wang Jingwu as a knife just happened to kill chickens and monkeys, knocking mountains and shaking tigers.At the same time, Li Jing also planned to take this opportunity to acquire the land in Ziqing Town.

"Tian Lingzi must have been expecting us to jump out and fight this battle. Hehe, so what if we fight, does Tian Lingzi think that he can deal with us like this?" Li Jing sneered, "As long as we have the absolute No matter how powerful Tian Lingzi and others are, we don't have to be afraid."

Wang Zhong slapped his thigh, and shouted: "A certain person has been displeased with Wang Jingwu for a long time. Since he came to seek death, why should he be polite to him? County king, ask a certain person to lead the troops of the headquarters and come back directly with his head chopped off. .”

Pei You also stood up, "Two years ago, a certain led a fleet to the south of Jiangsu, Huaihe, Zhejiang, East and West of Zhejiang. They are very familiar with that area. Since they dare to intercept our merchant ships and detain our personnel and store goods, they are going to war against us. Please lead the navy to the south, directly enter Yangzhou, and give Gao Pian a look."

Other generals also called for battle one after another. Although the town [***] banned officials from doing business directly, it did not prohibit their family members from doing business.Dengzhou Town is prosperous in business. In addition to the workshops, minerals and caravans controlled by many feudal towns, most of the business is in cooperation with other families and businessmen.The civil and military officials of the town [***], which family did not have a foot in this fiery business.Anyway, as long as the business is made public, subject to the supervision of the town government, and not involved in malpractice, Li Jing will not care about it.

Gao's uniting the towns like this will not only cut off the financial resources of Dengzhou Town, but also cut off the financial resources of countless businessmen who cooperate with Dengzhou Town, and also cut off the financial resources of the civil and military officials of Dengzhou Town .Who in the world does not love money, the commander-in-chief encourages everyone to manage it, a gentleman loves money, and it is enough to get it in a proper way.After all, if the families of officials can get rich through legitimate means, then the situation of corruption and so on will be much better.

Li Jing is very satisfied with the reaction of the generals, but although Li Jing is determined to fight, how to fight, how to control the strength and boundaries are still very important.

Li Jing didn't want to really set up a flag to rebel. It would be a stupid act to rebel now, and it would only make him a target for the world in vain.For Li Jing, it is very important to maintain his status as an official and even get the support of the emperor.Because of that, it can bring more convenience and benefits to the town [***].

In this battle, Li Jing's positioning is a conflict between feudal vassals and towns.

If it's just a conflict, it can be big or small.

"Xingxu, do you have any suggestions?" Li Jing asked Li Zhen, governor of Pingzhou.

"It should be fought, but it needs to hurt the opponent, but it can't make too much noise. Some people think that they can send a soldier to quickly surround and wipe out Wang Jingwu, and occupy Ziqing Town. Here, we must be resolute and fight quickly. , and must be played beautifully and with awe and prestige, so as to be able to shake the mountain and shake the tiger."

"As for Gaopian and other towns, they can't be forced, but they can be outsmarted. Since he seized our merchant ships and robbed our goods, then we will send sailors disguised as pirates to attack their coastal states and counties, and plunder their population. Money and food. In this way, force them to come back to the negotiating table and negotiate seriously with us.”

Li Zhen is also completely a hawk. Although he is a traditional scholar in his thirties, he has also acquired Li Jing's temper and character after following Li Jing for several years.Those who dare to play dirty with us will only arouse our anger even more.Now, it depends on who is more ruthless and who is more unbearable, so I will ask for a truce first.

Under the current circumstances, Li Jing has some scruples and dare not directly attack Li Jing with open swords and guns. Similarly, he does not dare to attack Li Jing directly because he has a backer.In that way, no matter who sends troops first, they will have to bear tremendous pressure.Therefore, if Li Jing sent troops here to pretend to be pirates, even if Gao Pian knew that it was Zhen[***], as long as Li Jing didn't admit it, it would only be a nonsense.

Li Jing nodded, very satisfied with Li Zhen's strong attitude.

Since he is playing dirty, Li Jing is not afraid at all.

It's shameless to tear up face, who is afraid of whom?Gao Pian is a famous general who has won countless victories, and Li Jing has also won countless victories.What's more, Zhen [***] and Huainan are separated by a long distance from Taining and the Probation Army.

However, Li Jing has the most powerful navy in the entire Tang Dynasty, and can directly cross the sea from Dengzhou to attack Huainan's native coastal states and counties.

If Gao Pian dared to rob Li Jing's goods, Li Jing would directly rob Gao Pian's people.Now, it depends on who has played who.

"The Chief of Staff will immediately draw up a detailed naval battle plan. Remember to control the strength well, and don't overdo it. Otherwise, it won't look good if you force Gao Piangou to jump over the wall." Li Jing knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "In short, this is just an extra problem. Our coping strategies are divided into two. The first one is to destroy Wang Jingwu mercilessly, wipe out his soldiers and horses, and completely recover the other counties in Ziqing. The second one Article, for Gao Pian and other towns, we have to distinguish between the primary and the secondary. For Gao Pian, we must focus on attacking, and the navy must focus on taking care of Huainan. Then Zhenhai Zhoubao, Probation Army Zhixiang, and Taining Army Yang Zhizhi For Lingnan Dongdao and Xuanwu and Zhongwu towns, you can send a few special forces to greet them."

After making up his mind, Li Jing put aside the troubles brought by Gao Pian instead.

Li Jing picked up another booklet, opened it, and after reading it, he solemnly said: "Leave the bastards like Gao Pian Wang Jingwu aside for the time being, what we need to deal with now is the Liaoxi Raiders. This is a plan that we have been busy preparing for nearly a year. We cannot stop giving up. The opportunity is once in a thousand years. We can temporarily let go of Goguryeo, but we must not give up this opportunity to seize Liaoxi. If we can win Liaoxi, then the Liaodong Peninsula will be connected to Pingzhou in Youzhou Town through the Liaoxi Corridor from now on. This means a lot to us, it is related to the long-term strategy of our town [***], so there is no room for error."

When Li Jing said this, the blood of all the generals in the festival hall couldn't help but boil.Fighting with Wang Jingwu is nothing more than killing chickens and dogs.With Gao Pian, they can't really fight each other.It's more exciting to fight the Khitan people. This battle has been prepared for a long time. If we can take Liaoxi in one fell swoop, every general will understand the significance of this to Zhen [***].

Khan Hende was beaten so badly that he asked Li Wei for help several times, asking him to convey his request to Li Jing.I hope that Li Jing can quickly send troops to the west of Liaoxi, contain the Diela tribe, and give them a little breathing space.

Li Jing now attaches great importance to the alliance with Khan Hende, although this alliance is secret.But for Li Jing, an ally with the title of Khitan Khan is the best weapon against Khitan.How could Li Jing defeat such an important ally so easily. (To be continued.)
