Chapter 130 Internal and External Troubles II

Hebei has two first-ranked Youzhou, the first-ranked population and economy, and Weizhou, the first-ranked military strength.

Weizhou not only has strong military strength, but also has a prosperous population and economy. It is the second largest prefecture in Hebei after Youzhou. It has nine counties and seventeen cities under its jurisdiction, with a population of more than 500,000 and a garrison of nearly 40,000 troops.

Compared with other prefectures and counties, Weizhou is the northernmost prefecture in Hebei, and is close to the Oroqhu tribe. Because it has been invaded by the Hu tribe for many years, the people here have a strong customs and a disagreement. Due to the influence of the environment and local customs, the people here have a high enthusiasm for joining the army and their combat effectiveness are extremely fierce. They are far from being compared with other prefectures and counties in Hebei.

Weizhou Jiedushi General's Office.

Compared with the Central Plains, the architectural style here seems less luxurious and generous, but more thick and sturdy.

Li Conggu, the governor of Weizhou, is in his early sixties, but he does not look so old. He has a rough face, a strong figure, a beard, two eyes are bright and eye-catching. Sitting there, he naturally gives people a strong sense of pressure.

Li Conggu sat upright above and spoke loudly to the left and right generals. When he was happy, he immediately laughed loudly and his voice came straight outside the house.

At this time, a general in his thirties strode in.

When they saw this person, the people in the room stopped discussing. A few old men, who were very old and experienced, nodded to him and greeted him with a smile. As for the other dozen senior generals, they immediately stood up, bowed their hands, and while being polite, they shouted "The Third General" with enthusiasm.

This person's name is Li Congshan, and he is Li Conggu's adopted son. His original name is Li Ye. He has been free and chivalrous since childhood, good at riding and shooting, and likes to hunt. The prey he gets is often several times that of others. When he was ten years old, his father died in battle. Li Conggu went to visit him and saw that his temperament was different from ordinary people, so he asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?"

Li Ye immediately replied, I want to command the general to fight.

Li Conggu said in surprise, others want to be generals, and the more soldiers they command, the better. Why do you need to command the general?

Li Ye replied that as a general, at most, he could command tens of thousands of soldiers, and above all, he could command countless soldiers.

After hearing Li Ye's words, Li Conggu was very surprised and immediately became loving talent. So he accepted him as his adopted son on the spot, changed his name to Li Congshan, and invited famous teachers and generals to teach him carefully to make him become a talent.

Li Congshan came out very late and was only 25 years old to do things. Others did not understand this, but he told others that some people had achieved nothing for decades or even their lives, while others could become famous all over the world in just a few years. People with ability do not need time to accumulate and can quickly become famous. Those who are only ambitious but incompetent are just delusions.

Therefore, when you are young, you must read more, learn enough knowledge, and accumulate strength to make a splash.

During the past few years when Li Congshan led the army, his main military target was the Oroqhu tribe. During several wars, Li Congshan became famous for his bravery and good at fighting, and made many strange plans. He either did not fight. Once he attacked, he would inevitably attack the opponent, defeating the Oroqhu tribe several times and shocking one side.

"Someone will meet with the Grand Marshal."

Li Congshan half-kneeled on the ground and gave a military salute.

Li Conggu said with a smile: "Get up."

Li Congshan stood up and then used another saying, calling Li Conggu an adopted father, and then called the two men slightly older than him on both sides, respectively, "Big Brother and Second Brother".

The eldest brother Li Chengliang smiled gently and said, "Third brother, I have worked hard all the way. Sit down and have a cup of tea, take a break, and we will start discussing things."

Li Congshan nodded with a smile, then went to sit aside.

As soon as Li Congshan sat down, a general of his age next to him came over and asked softly: "Three Generals, I heard that the Hu tribe is causing trouble again. How is the situation?"

Li Congshan was not polite, and picked up the man's teacup, drank it in one breath, wiped his mouth, and then said, "I have already negotiated with the Keshi tribe. Within three days, he will send someone to Weizhou to deal with it, regardless of life and death, and send 3,000 cattle and sheep to atone for his sins."

Xia Feng said in confusion: "Is Keshimen so easy to talk to? Why didn't I know before?"

The Keshi tribe is one of the three strongest tribes of the Oroqhu tribe, with a population of more than 300,000 and more than 50,000 soldiers who can fight. The tribe members are bloodthirsty and warlike, and often harass the border areas of Weizhou.

Li Congshan said indifferently: "I went to Keshimen in person, and they gave me face, so I handed over the people."

Xia Feng was a little stunned: "How many times have you brought over?"

Li Congshan said, "I am the only one."

Xia Feng looked admiring on his face, he stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Three Generals, you are really awesome, I'm convinced."

Li Congshan said lightly: "I went to the Shishi tribe to reason, not to fight a war, it has nothing to do with the number of people."

Xia Feng smiled and said nothing. Li Congshan said lightly, but this is his ability. In recent years, there have been several wars with the Hu tribe in Weizhou. Li Congshan is often able to win more with less, and they are all great victory. This confidence and prestige are all real. If it is fought in the war, if someone else goes to the Shishi tribe, it will be a death sentence. They will not tell you any bullshit. If you want to have face, you must have the strength to support it.

At this time, Li Conggu touched his head and said loudly: "Okay, everyone is quiet, and now we are talking about the serious business."

Everyone's eyes were all looking at Li Conggu.

Li Conggu looked at his second son Li Chengdiao and said, "You got the news, so you can start with this."

"Yes, father."

Li Chengdie responded, then faced everyone and said in a deep voice: "I just got the news. Zhang Jinghui's fifth son Zhang He secretly wrote to the emperor in order to surrender."

"Second General, should you surrender or surrender?"

Someone didn't hear it clearly and asked a question.

Li Chengdiao said affirmatively: "It's surrender."

Hearing the affirmative answer, the scene was in an uproar. The five major vassal states in Hebei have been uniting in confrontation with the court for so many years. Now that Zhang Jinghui has just passed away, his son Zhang He intends to surrender to the court. What the hell is this?

Xia Feng asked, "What are the conditions and intentions of Zhang He?"
