Chapter 687 Loyalty and Incomparable Li Jing
Andong.
Inside Tieling Military Town.
The prefect of Andong Liucheng County and the first army envoy of the Zhongwu Army, Li Jing, was walking in the hall with some anxiety. With his keen intuition and careful investigation, Li Jing had just come to a conclusion that scared him.
"The Luo family is going to rebel!"
Combining various signs, especially Luo Cheng's abnormal whereabouts during this period, Li Jing came to this conclusion.
But after reaching this conclusion, he was not very happy, but was extremely frightened.
When Luo Cheng wants to rebel, where will the Zhongwu army go? What position will Andongdao take?
And what position will he, an outsider who has just been transferred from Mayi but has been trusted by Luo Cheng so much?
Li Jing did not dare to tell others this conclusion, nor did he know who could trust in the Zhongwu Army. After all, he had just arrived, and the person he was most familiar with here was Yuchi Gong, who also came from Mayi.
But Yuchi Gong had already followed Luo Cheng away from Liaodong. Li Jing guessed that Luo Cheng might have been conspiring to meet Luo Siye.
"You really judge this?"
When she returned to the mansion, Li Jing, who had been holding back for a long time, finally asked someone to tell her that this person was his concubine Zhang Chuchen. She was once a maid holding the Red Buddha in Yang Su's mansion, so she was called the Red Fu Nu. She was originally a eunuch woman in the Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan. Later, because of the demise of the Chen Dynasty, she was also driven to Chang'an and given to Yang Su.
There are hundreds of American maids and singers in Yang Su's mansion, and Zhang Chuchen is just an optional Hongfu maid. Until one day, she saw Li Jing who came to the mansion as a guest.
This young Guanlong nobleman was a talented man, and was highly appreciated by Yang Su. He had a good family background. Even Yang Su said that he would definitely sit in his position in the future. So Hongfu Nu took the initiative to go to Li Jing's room to show her love, recommended herself to the pillow mat, and later eloped out of the mansion with Li Jing.
Fortunately, Yang Su is a generous person. Not only did she not think it was angry, but she regarded it as a good thing and gave her to Li Jing directly afterwards.
Over the years, Zhang Chuchen has been with Li Jing. After many years, Li Jing has not soared into the sky as Yang Su Niu Hong and others said, but has been wasted a little middle-aged.
Fortunately, he performed well in the last time at Yanmen Siege. After being transferred to Liaodong, he was deeply appreciated and valued by Luo Cheng. An alien newcomer was suddenly selected by Luo Cheng as one of the four army envoys.
It can be said that Luo Cheng was grateful to Li Jing.
"I can be sure that Luo Cheng is plotting a rebellion." Li Jing sighed.
Zhang Chuchen still believes in her husband's judgment very much, because although her husband has wasted some years, he is indeed capable, especially because his insight is extremely keen.
"How many people will the Zhongwu Army be willing to follow him, and how many people will be willing to rely on him in the six Andong counties?" Zhang Chuchen continued to ask her husband.
Li Jing sighed.
I said that this is what I am most moved now. I came to Anton for a while, but I was surprised to find that this place is very different from the Central Plains. Although Mayi, where I was before, it was completely different from this place.
Although Luo Cheng has only been here for several years, he has managed it like an iron bucket.
In the past, I only thought that Luo became the commander of Kaizhenjie, and was famous for the Liaodong expedition to Goguryeo, so I have a higher prestige and act more arbitrary here. But now it seems that Luo Cheng has a long history of his actions.
The Zhongwu Army was only 50,000 yuan per army, but Luo Cheng had to form a total of 100,000 yuan through the county soldiers. Moreover, the county soldiers were completely different from the government soldiers. They were well-equipped and well-trained.
Furthermore, his country group, village chariots, and militia were actually trying to make the whole nation full of soldiers.
Li Jing said that Luo Cheng used the expedient power of the border town and commander, especially the territory that Andongdao had just seized, so he gave the land to the government troops here to break the standards, and set up military and civilian troops. He also used war to generously seize the war and distributed it to the soldiers, so that the soldiers here only knew that Luo Cheng was not the court.
"From the military commander Hou Mo Chenyi to the military commander of Sima Wei Zheng, and from the Duzhi camp to the field envoy of Song Laosheng to the deputy envoy of appeasement, Luo Cheng has gathered a team that only the leader of the horse is right."
"That means that if Luo Chengzhen wants to raise an army, the Zhongwu army will follow him to rebel? The officials and even the people of the six counties of Andong will follow him?" Zhang Chuchen asked.
"It's probably true. There may be some loyal and righteous people, but there will not be too many. Luo Cheng is very smart. He has long used various means to tie the military and civilians of Liaodong to a boat with him."
Li Jing believes that he is one of the few loyal and righteous people.
As a nobleman in Guanlong, Li Jing felt that he had the obligation to maintain a dynasty established by their ancestors and fathers and brothers.
"I want to report to the emperor secretly and tell the court Luo Cheng to rebel."
Finally, Li Jing made up his mind to make a decision.
"You are crazy, you said that Luo Cheng has bound Anton's military and civilians to him. If you want to sue him for rebellion, you are afraid that your letter will fall into Luo Cheng's hands before it has been sent out."
"But how could I sit and watch Luo Cheng plot against rebellion and remain indifferent? That would be a thief." Li Jing said.
"Husband, do you think Luo Cheng can succeed in rebellion?" Zhang Chuchen asked.
Li Jing didn't understand why she asked this.
"You just said how many chances are there?"
Li Jing thought about it and couldn't help but sigh even more, saying that Luo Cheng had control over the six counties outside the pass, and had a very good relationship with Xi and Qi. He had 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and could mobilize no less than 100,000 soldiers in secret. Moreover, he had excellent soldiers, and his troops were brave soldiers who had been through long battle formations.
His brother Luo Siye was in charge of Xuanwu Army in Dingxiang Dao, with an army of more than 20,000, but he still controlled the Turks in the south of the desert, and could summon tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry at any time.
There is also the Hebei appeasement envoy Li Jing was Luo Cheng's teacher, the Shandong Dao Jieduo was also Luo Cheng's teacher, and the deputy envoy Luo Gui was his father.
In addition, the prefect of Fan Yang, Xue Shixiong, had a good deal with Luo Cheng, and Xue's sons were all under Luo Cheng's command, and were highly valued.
In addition, Luo Yi was the governor of Annandao and also held a group of troops from Zhenhai Army.
·······
The more he calculated, the more helpless Li Jing became.
"On the other hand, after the battle of Yanmen, the elite troops of the Xiaoguo Army were gone. Although there are still 100,000 people, they are just concentration camps for thieves and prisoners of refugees. The Eastern Army of the Central Plains cannot even defeat Li Mi. There are three troops involved in Jianghuai and Jiangnan. "
After all this, Li Jing felt that Luo Chengzhen was going to rebel, and the court was afraid that he would not be able to draw many troops to fight against the rebellion.
"Since Luo Cheng's victory rate is so great, why doesn't your husband follow the current situation? You are now treated with Luo Cheng's courtesy and are highly valued. If your husband is willing to help him, then the dynasty will change and the husband will not lose his position as a hero."
Li Jing said to his beloved concubine angrily, "How can things be calculated so utilitarian? Those who are ministers should be loyal and filial piety first. I am the general of the Sui Dynasty. The Li family has received favor from the country and is a noble country. Now when the country is in trouble, I should do my best to help the country. How can I still think of being a traitor?"
Zhang Chuchen tried his best to persuade Li Jing, saying that although your Li family had several generations of nobles, they had also experienced the independence of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, etc. None of your ancestors, fathers and brothers of the Li family said they had to die for their country.
But Li Jing thought it was not like this.
