Let's say that after Du Chong came to Yanling City, he kicked out the Black Dragon King Sheng of Han Shizhong's tribe who was originally staying here. Now the person in charge of the defense of Yanling City is Li Qiong, his fellow countryman with Yue Fei, Zhang Yong, Kong Yanzhou and others.

As for Li Qiong, his experience so far is actually very "protagonist-like".

First of all, although this person likes horse arching and stabbing, and is famous for his martial arts, he was born as a state student... This identity originated from Cai Jing's reforms that seemed to be on the right track, establishing universal official schools and county schools in the local area.

, Zhouxue and Taixue formed a three-level institution, and selections were made progressively based on test scores. In the end, if students from Taixue excelled in exams many times, they would be directly appointed officials without the need for imperial examinations.

In other words, before the advent of troubled times, this Li Zongzhi had a diploma and a good background. Compared with a bastard like Yue Fei, a military bastard like Han Shizhong, a fugitive like Li Yanxian, and many of his colleagues who came from military thieves and bandits, his image was much better.

.

Secondly, as I just said, in this era of Xiangzhou, good or bad, there are many talented people. Li Qiong, who is both civil and military, good at communication, and obviously has a good family background, naturally has a layer of connections.

However, among all the connections, the most obvious and valuable one was Zongze Zong Rulin, who happened to be the magistrate of Xiangzhou when he was a student in Xiangzhou. As a student of Xiangzhou Prefecture, Li Qiong could naturally claim to be Zongze's

Disciple, during the Jingkang and Jianyan years, this was a huge supporter.

In fact, Li Qiong first appeared in Zongze's army as a student of Zongze. And very early on, he returned to the occupied Xiangzhou alone and pulled out a force of about seven to eight hundred people of his own.

of the rebel army, and used it as his personal team, and then continued to follow Zongze.

Not only that, the last time the Jin Army went south, the battle broke out between the Tokyo Remaining Department and the Jin Army in Huazhou. And he had been stationed in Huazhou at that time, so he had accumulated enough military merits and had enough military skills.

He gained experience on the battlefield and became a commander after the war. He was always valued by Zongze and was always looked upon highly by the Tokyo Remaining Department.

But now that Zongze fell ill and fellow countryman Du Chong took over, instead of being left alone, he was directly promoted to the commander and became the actual controller of the core troops of the Tokyo Left Behind Department. He also became Du Chong's check and balance against Yue Fei.

The "second beloved general" of the chief beloved general has his own unique status and considerable military power.

As for the disagreement between Li Qiong and Yue Fei, it stems from this to some extent... He understands Du Chong's needs very well, that's why he disagrees with Yue Fei.

In essence, there is no personal grudge or real conflict between the two parties.

Therefore, when Yue Fei suddenly led his troops into the city, first "peacefully" controlled a city gate, and then immediately led the Bai army to march towards the county government office where Du Chong was stationed in the city, Li Qiong, who was alarmed, immediately fell into panic and hesitation.

middle.

He couldn't help but react like this, because the first reaction of the commander in charge of Yanling City's military power was that Yue Fei wanted to "remonstrate with troops"!

And if Yue Fei wants to 'remonstrate with soldiers', what should Li Qiong do at this time?

Du Chong was his benefactor, but Li Qiong, who was the guard of Yanling, knew better than anyone the devastation these days; Yue Fei was his "political enemy", but in fact there was no real conflict between the two parties, and even the opposite.

After Yue Pengju crossed the front and led his troops back to Tokyo, he felt somewhat convinced and grateful...

But no matter what, now Yue Fei wants to commit the following crime, what should he do?

Mobilize immediately and fight Yue Fei until the rivers of blood flow? Not to mention whether it is aiding the evil, if you do this, one person will not be able to clean it up, the whole army will fall into internal strife, and if the Jin people are attracted, all the soldiers and horses of the Tokyo Remaining Department will probably be killed.

The explanation is here!

How about pretending not to know and just sit back and watch Yue Fei succeed?

But it is impossible for Yue Fei to succeed. This man must have wanted to fight when he came to remonstrate with the army. However, even if he really controlled Du Chong, what could Yue Zhenfu do to order Wang Yan, Ma Gao and others to send their troops?

Frontline? Although Du Chong is deserted, he is the leader recognized within the Tokyo Remaining Department and the imperial court. He has official rank, seniority and the righteousness of the imperial court.

You, Yue Fei, don't have that! And half of Ma Gao's so-called Ten Commands have bad intentions, or at least they are trying to preserve their strength.

Moreover, since you, Yue Fei, want to remonstrate with troops, why don't you follow the example of the last time and join forces? At least ask yourself why you suddenly led troops into the city?

But there was no time to think too much, because Li Qiong soon realized that if he continued to sit back and watch, the others might be fine, but he, the Yanling guard, would definitely be held accountable as a Yue Fei accomplice afterwards!

At this time, young Li Qiong was really panicked.

In the game, this is a typical surprise attack that leads to confusion and panic.

However, facts have proven that neither Yue Pengju nor anyone else can ignore Li Qiong.

"Will?"

A large house in the west of the city, where the Chinese army was located, had just fallen into chaos. Li Qiong, who didn't know how to deal with it, was dumbfounded when he saw the small school who came to report, and then became furious. "Where is the order? It can't be the order of the husband who stayed behind, right?

Others don't know about my mentor's body, don't I know about it? After this battle, I have to wear mourning for no reason. How can I tell my mentor's will?"

At this point, Li Qiongdang wanted to scold the person who was going to report the message, but he hesitated for a moment. He wanted to lure Li Kui who was going to report the message to him and capture him for future justification. But then he thought again and felt that Yue Fei was doing this.

Maybe he was giving himself a step up... He was deceived by Yue Fei's false message, and this will be the case in the future.

And when I thought about it, I realized that this person had just finished scolding him, but somehow he ordered the messenger to enter, which was why the primary school who came to report the news was inexplicable.

"The following offenses will not be pardoned. What else can Yue Zhenfu say?" Seeing Li Kui entering first, Li Qiong took the lead in showing off, and the more than ten famous generals and soldiers in the room who had received the words in advance also raised their armor and drew their swords.

However, when Li Kui entered the door, he ignored him and turned a deaf ear to the soldiers who drew their swords.

Not only that, he actually stood directly beside a sword-wielding soldier inside the door, holding his sword and standing still like a guard, causing everyone in the room to look at Li Qiong again.

Before Li Qiong could say anything, at this moment, another man, who could hardly conceal his tiredness, but even more difficult to hide his noble air of poetry and calligraphy, entered the room wearing a red official robe.

When he saw the second person approaching, Li Qiong's stern appearance was completely revealed. He had been a student for many years and was used to meeting noble people in officialdom. He almost instinctively stood up to greet him.

But there was no time to do so. The person facing him spoke to him, completely shocking Li Qiong:

"This official was born as a Jinshi during the Zhenghe period. His surname was Lin and his name was Jingmo. He was introduced to Shouchun Mansion in the late Jingkang and early Jianyan years. He is now a Hanlin bachelor and is in charge of the internal control... There is an oral order from the official family. Li Qiong, the commander of the left-behind department in Tokyo, immediately assisted.

Yue Fei, the governor of Jezhou, rectified the city defenses and appeased the people, and then he quickly went to the government office in the city with his officials to see the saint!"

Li Qiong was stunned again, feeling that what happened today was completely ridiculous!

But when he saw the person in front of him standing there proudly, he couldn't even utter a word to refute, because his knowledge and experience told him that this person was a real Hanlin bachelor, and he was the official who had been rumored for a long time.

He was the former most confidant, Bachelor Xiaolin, so what he said must not be false... Not only that, Yue Fei's sudden ridiculous behavior also received a completely reasonable explanation.

Everything makes sense!

Li Qiong, who was confused and his mind was like a blur, only hesitated for a moment, then stood up from his seat under the serious gaze of the visitor, then bowed respectfully and said, "I got the order"!

Let us also say that after Xiao Linxue's soldiers controlled Li Qiong without bloodshed, when Pegasus came to report back, Zhao Guanjia and Yue Fei had already arrived in front of the city's Yamen and were about to dismount and enter.

After hearing the news, Zhao Jiu turned around and said, "Li Kui is just a commander after all. Should Pengju take over the city defense first?"

Yue Fei was startled for a moment, and then he realized that the officials were not worried about the city defense, but were worried that he would be inconvenienced when he met Du Chong due to his fellow countrymen. But now, how could he care about this, so he immediately shook his head: "

A good instructor knows that Li Qiong comes from a state school and is a stickler for rules. Now that Academician Lin has taken control of him, there will be no more chaos."

"Then go and summon all the commanders of the entire army to meet in the city...can you do it?" Zhao Jiu asked again.

"Yes! And you have to do it!" Yue Fei suddenly became serious.

"Then let's go, the military situation is urgent, let's not waste time!" As for this, Zhao Guanjia said no more, but directly led people into the government office in front of them.

Correspondingly, Yue Fei didn't worry about anything anymore. He just asked Zhang Xian to lead the white army to surround the county government office and stay to protect Zhao Guan's family. He immediately got back on his horse and rode out of the city alone.

By the way, just as Yue Fei said, Du Chong has been staying behind closed doors for dozens of days and has completely lost the morale and morale of the army. Officers in various ministries have already been talking about it and rumors are flying. However, the ministries are not under each other. At this time, a hastily convened in the name of Du Chong

When generals enter the city, there will be suspicion and chaos.

So in this case, Yue Pengju is probably the only one who can get the approval of Wang Yan's tribe and the rest of the Tokyo Remaining Department at the same time... Especially Wang Yan, who led the Eight-Character Army to leave the base area and go south alone. The place is familiar but the people are not there.

Although Yue Fei has a personal rift with him, he knows the truth and will trust him more in big matters.

Not to mention this matter, after Yue Fei left, Zhao Jiu, under the guidance of Zhang Xian and surrounded by soldiers, walked into the county government office in Yanling City with his head held high, but it went smoothly as expected... This was not just because Yue Fei sent Zhang Xian

The reason why Xian and Tabai's troops followed each other was not because Li Qiong's military orders were conveyed so quickly, but because Du Chong was not the only one in the government office.

You must know that many senior clerks of the Tokyo Left-behind Department and subordinate officials of the Kaifeng government are currently in the county government of Yanling County, and among them there are many people who recognize the face of Zhao Guanjia.

In fact, the officials in the county government office had just seen the crowds of cavalry and soldiers on the street outside the door, and thought it was a military remonstrance. However, they had just found several leaders in the government office gathered in the main hall, but they had no time to say a few words.

, Zhao Jiu had already bypassed the screen wall, passed through the front yard, and arrived at the threshold of the main hall.

At this time, the person at the head of the hall was a Jinshi. He was accompanying Guo Zhongxun, a left-behind officer in Tokyo who was in charge of military law. He just glanced at the person who came, and as if he had been struck by lightning, he bowed in panic.

On the ground, he shouted long live, which attracted the officials and soldiers in the county government. They were caught off guard and had no choice but to bow down.

In fact, Guo Zhongxun was a Jinshi and had a high official position. According to the status of civil servants in these days, there was no need to pay such a courtesy when the monarch and his ministers suddenly met each other. The reason for this was that he was a left-behind official, and he was such a gift.

The second-ranking civil servant who went on an expedition was roughly aware of the negative impact of the bad things Du Chong had done these days. He also knew that Du Yan's disappearance a few days ago must have consequences, so after meeting Zhao Guan's family, he instinctively guessed the worst case scenario.

, but he bowed down with a guilty conscience.

"Where's Du Chong?"

Zhao Jiu didn't know the other person at all and couldn't care about the other person's thoughts, so he stood in front of the county government office with his hands folded and got straight to the point.

"Maybe I haven't gotten up yet, maybe I've already gotten up and am drinking in the backyard." Guo Zhongxun, who was lying on the ground, didn't dare to hide it, but was extremely nervous. "I usually don't dare to go to the backyard, and I don't know the details... Otherwise, I will...

Go and invite the deputy guard to come and see the saint?"

"No need to invite, no need to kneel down, just get up. This is the headquarters of the unified army. There must be a drum. Find the biggest and loudest drum. You can ring it in front of the hall in person and invite Du Chong to come and see me in the hall." Zhao Jiu ordered this.

, and then gestured to Wan Qixi behind him. "Wan Qiqing, please help the sergeant to hang up my Jinwu scroll in front of the hall."

After receiving the order, there was naturally a panic inside and outside the hall, but Zhao Jiu went up to the hall, wiped the main seat with his sleeves that was almost covered with dust, and then sat down with the Prime Minister, Hu Yin, Lan Gui, and Liu Yan.

Standing again. Among them, Hu Yin in purple robe stood on the left side of Zhao Guan's house and attacked, Lan Gui stood behind Zhao Guan's house and stood sideways, while Liu Yan still stood in front of the door holding a knife and an ax... Since Wang De verified the hammer, Chang

After the effectiveness of armor-piercing weapons such as axes on Jin people, almost everyone in the imperial class used hammers and axes.

No matter what happened, a moment later, as Guo Zhongxun personally held the mallet and struck hard, the drums suddenly sounded, and the hall was solemn. However, the originally quiet backyard of the county government suddenly jumped up... After all, Du Chong

He has a serious personality and has a reputation of being bloodthirsty. Now that he is in charge of a large army, no one dares to do anything against him.

The last time Yue Fei, Ma Gao, and Wang Yan came together to remonstrate, they just cried and remonstrated, so why did they cause so much trouble?

And sure enough, just a moment later, Du Chong, who had just woken up, became furious. He didn't even wear official robes, just ordinary clothes. Then he wore wooden clogs with bare feet and kept kicking, and found him from the backyard.

However, as soon as he turned the corner and came to the front yard, the important minister of the Song Dynasty, who was already a Jinshi during the Zhe Zong Dynasty, noticed the flag flying high above the front yard.

Compared with this thing, the soldiers along the way were full of soldiers, but they were insignificant.

Unexpectedly, after being stunned for a moment, Du Chong, who knew what was going on, did not run away or avoid it. Instead, he turned around and called for someone to fetch his purple robe.

He put on an expressionless voice, then stepped on wooden clogs and walked towards the hall with his head bare.
To be continued...
