Poor Family Chapter 817

  Chapter 817 Sanxiong cast effect

Li Yanqing returned to Jiangdu County again. Since the two sides had already broken their faces, Li Yanqing had no scruples, and immediately ordered the 10,000 elite troops who had arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River to rush to Yangzhou immediately, and at the same time ordered the 10,000 reserve troops stationed on the north bank of the Huaihe River to also rush to Yangzhou. Come to Yangzhou to assemble.

  Although Li Yanqing believed that Master Zhiguang would not let him down, he never expected that the three Ruan brothers would arrive in Jiangdu County early the next morning.

When Li Yanqing heard the news and came out of the state government office, he saw the three brothers of the Ruan family kneeling in front of the steps with bare upper body and thorns behind their backs. Seeing Li Yanqing coming out, Ruan Xiaoer said with shame: "We didn't know what to do, and we offended Mrs. Li." Lieutenant, we are here to plead guilty to Taiwei Li!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward to help the three Ruan brothers, tore off the thorns on their backs, and ordered his subordinates to put on their clothes. He sincerely said to Ruan Xiaoer: "Although I was young back then, I fell in love with the second brother Ruan at first sight. I will never forget that this time I sincerely invited the three elder brothers to go out to serve the country, fight against the golden soldiers, and also make contributions, so as not to let my own martial arts be buried."

Ruan Xiaoer sighed, "Back then we were fooled by Tong Guan, and were framed by Tong Guan. Li Taiwei took Tong Guan down, and it was a bad breath for us. If the Taiwei doesn't dislike it, the three of us are willing Do the work of a dog and a horse!"

  Li Yanqing was overjoyed, and quickly invited the three Ruan brothers into the state government office, and introduced Cao Sheng and Mo Jun to them, and everyone sat down as guest and host.

  Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said: "I got a piece of news last night that Wu Zhuo and his son were killed by the enemy in Chuzhou. It's really heart-warming!"

  Li Yanqing asked curiously with a smile: "Second brother has enmity with Wu Zhuo?"

Ruan Xiaoqi next to him said, "A fleet of ours was detained by him last year, and when we redeemed the fleet with 10,000 guan, we found that the two hundred catties of ambergris in the boat were gone, worth 50,000 guan. Later we came to Jiangdu to ask him for an argument, and he injured five brothers, we couldn't swallow the anger, and we planned to take revenge this year, but we didn't expect it to be solved by the Taiwei.”

  Li Yanqing asked Han Baolin next to him, "Does Zhizhou Han know about this?"

  Han Baolin nodded, "It is true, the two barrels of incense are in the basement of his mansion."

  Li Yanqing said: "Since you know the sufferer, then return it to them instead of confiscating the official treasury."

   "The lower official knows."

  Ruan Xiaoer was overjoyed, "Thank you Taiwei Li!"

  Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Since you are already my subordinates, these matters are my duty, you are welcome!"

  Ruan Xiaowu, who had been silent all this time, smiled and asked, "Dutong, is Yangzhou going to war?"

  When I saw Ruan Xiaowu with a playful smile back then, after so many years, he is still the same, and his appearance has not changed at all. Li Yanqing couldn't help asking back in a teasing tone: "How does Little Brother Wu know?"

Ruan Xiaowu was called Little Fifth Brother more than ten years ago. Now he is thirty-five years old. Everyone calls him Fifth Brother, and the word "small" is removed. I didn't expect Li Yanqing to call himself the same as before. Little Fifth Brother.

At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi kicked him lightly to make him pay attention to his identity, and Ruan Xiaowu came to his senses, quickly put away his playful smile, and said solemnly: "The Xiang family came to see us, and the second brother is the most important thing about this matter." clear."

Li Yanqing was startled, and looked at Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaoer nodded, "It's Xiang Zongliang's nephew, named Xiang Zhi, he approached us a month ago, hoping that we could join King Qin's army, but I flatly refused gone."

   "How did the second brother know that there was going to be a war?"

  Ruan Xiaoer hurriedly said: "Please don't call me second brother, Taiwei, I really can't bear it."

  Li Yanqing nodded, "Then I will call you General Ruan Er."

   "The captain called me a general?" Ruan Xiaoer looked surprised.

  Li Yanqing said indifferently: "Didn't the imperial court appoint you partial generals as commanders before? I will start to determine the official positions for you from here."

  The three Ruan brothers were very moved. The court dismissed them as commanders, but Li Yanqing refused to admit it, and replaced them again.

   "General Ruan Er continued to talk about the start of the war." Li Yanqing reminded them with a smile.

  Ruan Xiaoer patted himself on the forehead, laughed at himself, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I've been thinking about getting promoted and getting rich all day long, and I forgot about the business."

Everyone around laughed knowingly, and Ruan Xiaoer continued, "The day after Xiang Zhi came to see us, Lei De also came to see us. He wanted to swallow our fleet and soldiers wholeheartedly, so he promised me that he would suggest that I be appointed as the lieutenant general of the navy. Perhaps he was too eager to eat us and revealed a lot of secrets to me, including their plan to crusade The imperial court established a new emperor, so we knew it was time to go to war."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: "You are right, it is indeed going to war, and Leider's three thousand navy has appeared on the Yangtze River, ready to intercept me, I have sent people to call the Ezhou navy, but the strength It's still not enough, I hope that your 800 elite can join and officially become my navy.”

   "It's our honor that Taiwei Li thinks highly of us. Before I set off, I ordered soldiers and ships to come to Yangzhou. It is estimated that I will arrive in Jiangdu this afternoon. At that time, I will officially hand over the army to Taiwei."

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Just give it to me to reorganize. When Lei De's navy is wiped out, I will merge it with the Ezhou navy to form a new navy. The command of this navy will be controlled by General Ruan Er." in charge."

  Ruan Xiaoer was very excited, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to salute, "The humble job will never disappoint the expectations of the Taiwei!"

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi also knelt down, and Li Yanqing hurriedly helped them up, comforted them, and then asked the soldiers to take them to change their military uniforms. Li Yanqing smiled at Zhang Shun: "They themselves have recruiting officials. The starting point is relatively high, but you don't have to lose heart, after I wiped out Red, I will also promote you to be a leader!"

  Zhang Shun was overjoyed, "Thank you Dutong for your support!"

  Li Yanqing patted him on the shoulder, "Gather your men together, this time to attack Red, you will make great achievements again."

  When Zhao Ji took refuge in Jiangning Mansion, Jiangning Mansion once became the political center of the states in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhao Ji issued countless imperial decrees and letters of appointment and dismissal here, which deeply affected the officialdom of the states in the south of the Yangtze River.

  Although Zhao Ji went north and was taken away by Jin soldiers, the political influence of Jiangning Mansion still existed. This time, the troops from various states in the south of the Yangtze River assembled in the name of King Qin and were placed in Jiangning Mansion.

  The military camp is located in the east of Jiangning Prefecture, less than ten miles away from the Yangtze River. It covers an area of ​​thousands of acres, consists of thousands of large tents, and has 80,000 troops stationed there.

The source of these 80,000 people is more complicated. There are 20,000 troops newly recruited by Zhao Ji in Jiangning Mansion, which were not taken away in time, and 10,000 troops transformed from the three major foreign relatives Zhuang Ding, but the most are still assembled by Xiangjun from various states 50,000, bringing the total force to 80,000.

  The commander-in-chief of this army is named Xiang Fa, who is the nephew of Xiang Zongliang. He is about forty years old.

The deputy general of the army is the general Liu Yanqing. Liu Yanqing followed the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and the forbidden army commander Gao Qiu to the south of Jiangning Mansion. He was responsible for recruiting and training 20,000 new troops. Therefore, when Zhao Ji went north, he did not lead the army to follow, but continued to stay in Changzhou for training. recruits.

Due to Liu Yanqing's high prestige in the army, Xiang Zongliang came to visit him twice and promised him a lot of money. Finally, he persuaded Liu Yanqing to join the Concubine Sect. It is related to the core interests of the three major foreign relatives, so that they do not hesitate to fight against the court in a rebellious way.

One of the most important reasons why the three relatives dared to take risks was that the imperial court had too few troops, only 70,000 to 80,000 people. Although the Western Army still had 100,000 people, they were restrained by Xixia and could not be mobilized. The three relatives saw the opportunity to re-establish a new king.

In the big tent of the Chinese Army, Xiang Zongliang sat on the commander-in-chief with carelessness. He is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, and he is very favored by Zhao Ji. Although his surname is not Zhao, because of his status as a foreign relative, he became one of the very few kings in the Song Dynasty during his lifetime. He was named King of Yongjia County, and his elder brother Xiang Zonghui was also named King of Yongyang County during his lifetime.

  The head coach Xiang Fa sat at the side, the deputy general Liu Yanqing sat opposite to Xiang Fa, and there were dozens of other generals below.

"I just got the information that Yangzhou Tong sentenced Wu Zhuo and his son to be killed by the enemy. At first we all thought it was Li Yanqing's public revenge, but now it seems that Li Yanqing should have discovered Wu Zhuo's identity, so he found an excuse to kill Wu Zhuo. "

  When Xiang Zongliang said this, he glanced at Xiang Fa, and seeing that he hesitated to speak, he asked, "What does Xiang Shuai want to say?"

   Xiang Fa bowed and asked: "Your Highness said just now that Li Yanqing discovered Wu Zhuo's identity. Did Li Yanqing see through our plan?"

"Probably!"

Xiang Zongliang glanced at the crowd sharply, and continued: "Li Yanqing did not cross the river, but returned to Yangzhou again. He must be aware of the danger, and according to Jiangbei's information, there has been an army of unknown origin in Jiangbei. The army, about 10,000 people, we think this is the army brought by Li Yanqing, maybe he has been prepared for a long time, or maybe he is to wipe out the remnants of Fang La, but the reason is not important, what is important is how we should deal with it? We This has been discussed, but now I would like to hear from all of you here."

[Before Lao Gao said that there were no kings with different surnames in the Song Dynasty, and they were usually granted after death. Han Shizhong was named the king of Xian'an, Zhang Jun was named the king of Qinghe, and there were many foreign relatives named kings in the Southern Song Dynasty. Generally speaking, there are more foreign relatives named kings. 】
