If Li Jing is asked to compare the characters of the Three Kingdoms with those of the Late Tang Dynasty, then the two strategists, Li Zhen and Jing Xiang are roughly equivalent to phoenix chicks and lying dragons. Perhaps Li Zhen and Jing Xiang are not as famous as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but looking at the same time, they are definitely the most shining ones among the strategists.

Finally, I confirmed that the tall and thin scholar in front of me who was younger than Li Zhen and about the same age as me was Jing Xiang. Although Li Jing did not have many surprise expressions on his face, he was actually screaming in ecstasy.

He once sent someone to investigate Jing Xiang's news, but there was no result. He never thought that Jing Xiang had been following the army for more than two months. This was really a place to search for without any effort.

Jing Xiang's answer just now not only made Li Jing confirm that he was the first counselor of the Later Liang Dynasty, but also made Li Jing confirm that Jing Xiang was indeed a brave man. Li Jing said just now very clearly that he wanted to have a bigger career. Even if he didn't understand this as having a desire to rebel, it at least showed that Li Jing was not as loyal as the Tang minister on the surface. At least he wanted to be a separatist vassal state with self-respecting troops.

But Jing Xiang seemed to not care about these things at all, which fully demonstrated that he didn't care about these things.

Li Jing was very satisfied, "Very good. Now it's the time to employ people. This coach, Mr. Yu Zhengpi, entered the town and gave advice. I wonder if he would like to do it?"

Jing Xiang was a little surprised. He did not expect that this handsome man with such a great reputation but such a young man would only ask such a question after meeting, and then he decided to call him into the curtain. Jing Xiang, who came back to his senses, nodded immediately without any hesitation, "I am willing."

Li Jing pinched his chin and originally wanted to give Jing Xiang a low-level staff position first and let him be a procurator or inspector. But then he thought that both procurator and inspector were responsible for handling disputes. In the army, a low position and a low power were undoubtedly a waste of talents. After thinking about it, he changed his mind. Since this is a talent, the bento will be used indiscriminately.

Immediately returned to the seat, picked up the pen, took a blank letter and immediately gave Jing Xiang an official position.

"From today, Jingxiang and Jingzizhen will be the senator of the ** Jiedushi in our town." Li Jing said loudly.

After saying that, he handed over his official position to Jingxiang.

Jing Xiang took the imperial examination in shock, and could not believe it at all. Although his father also served as the governor, his father had already retired from home with illness. Moreover, he is only twenty-two years old and has not even married. He has only participated in the imperial examination once, but has not passed the imperial examination. Now he has defected to Li Jing, and he never expected that Li Jing had just asked him and used him a high-ranking official.

This is really a high-ranking official. After two months of following the town, Jingxiang is also familiar with the town. He knows that there are many official positions and military systems in the town, which are somewhat different from other vassal states. For example, among all the wings and battalions, the chief officials at all levels are not second, nor the marching Sima, but the second, with teaching commanders. In addition, the general's office also has a staff officer, which has a very strong position in the marching staff, second only to the marching Sima. Under the marching staff, there are two deputy positions, namely the Jiedu Senator and the Jiedu Counselor. Below them are staff officers, secretary, record office, yamen, inn inspectors, and Kongmu officials. They are also staff members, who need to be registered, driven, and random, and wait for low-level staff members.

The position of the governor's senator is very high and has an important position. In the town, the rank is the same as the wing master, and even the upper half is the upper level. The marching staff officer is even at the same level as the governor, and is higher than the military master.

The thin yellow silk paper in his hand was as heavy as a huge rock, and Jingxiang even felt that he couldn't hold it anymore.

"The Grand Commander, what kind of virtue is there in his post? How dare he hold this important position as soon as he enters the army."

Jing Xiang was flattered, and the others here were also very surprised, even with envy and jealousy in their eyes. Li Zhen has always been Li Jing's first strategist, while his younger brother Li Liang is the second strategist. He served as the marching silo, his younger brother Li Liang served as the military staff, and Guo Chengan served as the chief secretary. At present, as soon as Jing Xiang entered the army, he actually served as the governor's senator. How could this make them not surprised? Li Zhen even felt a sense of crisis. Could it be that the young general began to guard against suspicion of their brothers, afraid that their brothers would have too much authority?

Among all, Gai Yu, who could have attended this meeting in an extraordinary manner, was very happy and felt that he was more and more important to the general. But now his heart was filled with bitterness. He surrendered to Li Jing for so long, but he was just a staff officer. Although the staff officer was a secondary staff member, there were also a lower-level staff member and a low-level staff member, no matter what, it was nothing. Compared with Jing Xiang, he felt that he was completely unattended.

"Why, I don't have confidence?" Li Jing looked directly at Jing Xiang and asked.

"It's not like that," Jing Xiang hesitated, "but the job is very experienced, so I'm afraid it's unfair to others."

Li Jing chuckled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Jing Xiang had a good attitude just now. He was very confident in his talents, but he was just worried about the dissatisfaction of others. "I am a coach who uses people, and only talent is to take advantage of them. If Zi Zhen is confident that he has such talent, he doesn't have to care about the eyes of others. Although my township values ​​qualifications, qualifications only occupy a small part of the people's standards. The most important thing is talent. Talented people are superior, and those who are not talented are inferior. In this way, my township can become stronger and stronger."

Jing Xiang knelt on one knee, which was considered a very important etiquette in the town. "The grace of the great general's promotion is unforgettable. In this life, he will go through fire and blades and die again!"

Very good, Li Jing smiled and helped Jing Xiang up personally.

He glanced at the generals in the hall and held everyone's expressions in his heart.

"Gayu came forward to listen to the seal!" Li Jing suddenly shouted.

Gai Yu, who was just a little depressed, suddenly heard his name and was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses and understood what he meant to listen to Feng, his face turned red with excitement. He hurried forward, knelt down on one knee, and lowered his head to listen to Feng.

"The most important reward and punishment in the town is clear. Gaiyu has repeatedly made good plans and has made great contributions. Now he is promoted to the governor of the town's military commander!"

Gai Yu, who was just envious of Jing Xiang's appointment, was completely immersed in excitement. What was he planning the Yunzhou mutiny with Li Keyong and others? Isn't it just to find a better background? Although he joined the town with his status as a descendant, he finally managed to see the bright moon. The Minister of the Town** is a position that the position of governor of Yunzhou will never be changed.

From today on, he finally became a core member of the town.

"I believe everyone already knows it. The imperial edict ordered Wang Jingwu to be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi of Ziqing Town and the governor of Qingzhou, Zhang Chan was appointed as the governor of Qizhou, Lu Hong was appointed as the governor of Zizhou, and Xue Chong, the former governor of Tianping Army, to be appointed as the governor of Laizhou, and Li Shishi, the former governor of Taining Army, to be appointed as the governor of Ziqing Town. Even the 25,000 rebels of the former Wang Jingwu headquarters were still under his command." Li Jing paused, "Yesterday, he discussed the preliminary decision to retreat as advance, temporarily retreat to Dengzhou, and take Ziqing Qingzhuang away at the same time. Senator Jing and Counselor Gai, do you have any more to add?"

Gai Yu cleared his throat, "I thought it was not enough to take away the young and strong people. All the wealthy families in Ziqing Town must be moved away."

"Senator Jing, what do you think?" Li Jing looked at Jing Xiang.

Jing Xiang pondered and asked, "Did Ziqing Town ignore it? How did the Lu army in Ziqingping arrange it? Will they also withdraw together?"

"This has not been decided yet. Do you have any good suggestions?" Li Jing asked.

In the last few years, the number of troops in the Pinglu Army in Ziqing was 37,500, but in fact, it was naturally more than this number. After Wang Jingwu's rebellion, the Pinglu Army was divided into two, and both sides continued to expand their troops.

Now, Wang Jingwu's troops have 25,000 soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers have originally tens of thousands, but they have all become Li Jing's prisoners, so it is naturally impossible to return them again.

On Song Wei's side, there are 50,000 soldiers left and 80,000 auxiliary soldiers. However, to be precise, among the 50,000 soldiers, there are actually 5,000 soldiers in Song Shuai, Zhang Wanrong, and then 15,000 soldiers in the prefectures, each army, county town, guard and arrest, and each county unites 15,000 soldiers. Except for the dozens of rural soldiers organized by many wealthy families, the rest are mostly temporary recruitment of civilians.

Now after the war, according to the rules, the auxiliary soldiers must be disbanded and returned home, and even the united soldiers must be disbanded and returned home. In this way, the remaining one is only 35,000 ping Lu Army. However, among these 35,000 people, 5,000 were Zhang Wanrong's military soldiers and horses, and they were not the commander of the Jieshou.

When Song Wei went to Beijing, his five thousand personal soldiers could stay. However, Kang Chenghui and Cui Yunqing took office each, and Li Jing could not let them go empty-handed. He had decided to separate Song Wei's personal soldiers, and 5,000 troops were given to Kang Chenghui and Cui Yunqing each, plus their private servants, and each person was taken to the post with 3,000 people.

In this way, the entire Pinglu army ended up with 25,000 people in Wang Jingwu and Li Jing took over 25,000 people.

However, Li Jing was not very relieved about the 25,000 Pinglu Army. The main reason was that there were too many soldiers in the Pinglu Army. Even after experiencing this war, he was still a little disheveled. Li Jing was also hesitating now. He kept them in Ziqing Town. It would probably not take long before they would return to the same place as before and could not be truly used for himself. But if they brought them to Dengzhou and Liaodong, Ziqing Town might really not belong to him.

Jing Xiang thought for a long time and finally said: "I agreed with the proposal of the general and the generals. I will temporarily return to Dengzhou and hand over Ziqing Town to Wang Jingwu and others. However, the people can take it away, but the army must stay. Not only must we stay, but we must also leave heavy troops. The Imperial Office proposes to bring the Lu Army back to Dengzhou and reorganize it, and leave the town in Ziqing Town."
