On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, all the soldiers of the Dengzhou Unity Camp participated in the "Laba Hunting" held by Cui Yunqing and Song Wen, hunting together and holding a day hunting meeting.On the same day, all military and horse generals of Dengzhou led their troops to participate.This hunt is not only a La Ri Festival to thank the gods, but also a celebration for Cui Yunqing's promotion to Jiedu Marching King Sima and Deputy Ambassador of Yingtian, and Song Wen's succession as Dengzhou Inspector.The letters of appointment for both of them have been issued, and the official documents have been delivered.After the hunting, another grand banquet was held, and the handover of the two governors was completed.

Cui Yunqing left Dengzhou the next day in a carriage. Before leaving, he asked Li Jing one last time, hoping that Li Jing could go to Qingzhou with him.Li Jing refused without hesitation.He could see that there was a little loneliness and disappointment in Cui Yunqing's eyes.He knew that when the teacher went to Qingzhou, although he was promoted on the surface, in fact he would step into a thorny patch of thorns.He himself, why not.

After seeing off the teacher in the morning, he went to visit Zhao Wang Li Rui and Song Wen of Dengzhou one by one, as well as Han Zhong, the envoy of the prison city, Liu Jian, the envoy of the soldiers and horses of the Longshan camp, Xu Cheng, the envoy of Dongmu Shouzhuo, and others.In addition, he also called on Cui Zhang, the military envoy of Daxie Village, who came to bid farewell to Cui Yunqing. It was the first time Li Jing knew that Cui Zhang and Cui Yanqing were cousins.Cui Zhang seemed to be very clear about the grievances between Li Jing and Cui Yanqing's uncle and nephew. When he saw Li Jing, he was not cold or indifferent.This discovery made Li Jing a little depressed. Before arriving in Shamen Town, he already had an immediate boss who was hostile to him. This was definitely not a good thing.

There was supposed to be a banquet to celebrate Song Wen's promotion to governor in the evening, but Li Jing was really in a bad mood, so she pleaded guilty to Song Wen and returned home early.

When I left Dengzhou in the afternoon, the sky had been gloomy, and after walking not far, the sky suddenly began to snowflakes.Fortunately, the snow was not heavy, and there was no rain, so the team did not stop, and continued to move forward in two columns.

When he returned home this time, Li Jing temporarily stored all the [-] sets of equipment that he had just bought for [-] yuan in the warehouse in Dengzhou.Anyway, after recruiting soldiers in the next year, he would still pass by here when he went to the Samana to take up his post, so he simply stored his equipment here.As for the equipment of the other soldiers in Zuo Yidu, Zhang Hong originally proposed to keep them as well, but Li Jing finally vetoed this proposal.Since these people are all soldiers, no matter what time they should go, they should bring their equipment with them.

Fortunately, although Zuo Yidu had a lot of equipment, it had sixty pack donkeys, ten draft horses, and four war horses.Except for the horizontal knife, spear, iron armor, bow and arrow, which are required by Li Jing to wear when traveling, other equipment is carried by those donkeys and mules, including the rewards and settlement allowances these soldiers received.

After receiving the reward money, many soldiers rushed into the city to buy food. Li Jing was a little bit dumbfounded about this practice.Penglai is more than 300 miles away from Qingning Township, and it takes five or six days to travel. It is a bit silly to bring these grains home all the way. It is better to go to Chishan to buy them.However, he did not prohibit those people from buying food. He knew that most of the soldiers' families were poor before. A month ago, many people's families could not even eat a light meal.In the eyes of these people, food is much more real than silk and copper coins.What's more, buying grain in Dengzhou is indeed cheaper than going back to Chishan.

For this reason, Li Jing also deliberately brought the five carriages he kept in Lin Wei's house with him. The soldiers' equipment was carried by donkeys and mules, but the food was transported by horse-drawn carts.There were only five carriages, but each soldier basically bought a lot of food, plus the rewards they received, an average of almost four shi rice per person, adding up to more than 400 shi, couldn't hold it at all.In the end, Li Jing persuaded them to store most of them in the Dengzhou warehouse, but there were still two hundred shi.

Originally Li Jing wanted to order each person to bring no more than five buckets of rice, but when the mess was happening, Yu Youniang and Li Huier appeared.The two were still disguised as men, and instead of riding in a carriage, they rode two beautiful white horses, and each was accompanied by two maids in the same attire.At first Li Jing thought they were here to see him off, but when the two of them opened their mouths, they thought they were bored in Dengzhou City for a long time and wanted to follow Li Jing to Wendeng.

Li Jing was a little surprised when he heard the news. He persuaded a few words, but both of them ignored him, and said that he had already talked to King Zhao, and King Zhao had already agreed.He also handed him a handwriting written by King Zhao to Li Jing. After Li Jing opened it, it was indeed King Zhao's handwriting.It didn't write anything specific, that is to say, the princess and Yu Youniang went to his house as guests, so he asked him to take care of Yunyun.With this letter, Li Jing had no choice but to agree to go with the two of them.

The two got the agreement, and seeing that Li Jing and the others couldn't leave on time because of the ridiculous pile of food, they sent a maid back, and soon brought back fifteen carriages. This time, one carriage held ten stones. It was more than easy to load twenty carriages with only two hundred shi of grain, and soon each carriage was half full and set off.

Along the way, the soldiers in Zuoyidu were fully armed and marched on foot in a marching formation. The 100 men and horses were divided into three teams, one team was in the front, the other team was behind, and the other team was used as a supply soldier, responsible for the pack donkeys and carriages carrying equipment.

Brothers Lin Wei and Lin Wu both lived in Chang'an, and according to what they said, there was no one else in their family except their two brothers.So neither of them took advantage of this month's vacation to go home, but went to Wangli Village with Li Jing.Wang Zhong's home is in Qingzhou, but he didn't go back. Like Zhang Hong, he followed Li Jing back to Wendeng.For them, this is not only to go to Li Jing's house, but also to recruit soldiers.Now that they have chosen to follow Li Jing to Shamen Town, they have taken this matter very seriously.

On the other hand, Li Huier and Yu Youniang, although they brought two carriages, they would rather leave the carriages empty than ride horses along the way.The two of them felt novelty in seeing everything along the way, pointing at this and pointing at that for a while, laughing constantly, which caused the young soldiers to shake their heads and wait and see.Li Huier and Yu Youniang, together with their four maids, although the six young women were disguised as men, their handsome faces still caught the young soldiers off guard.

Li Jing didn't have much interest in the two of them. Firstly, they were already familiar with each other. Secondly, he knew in his heart that he and these two people had nothing to do with each other. Since it was impossible, he simply wouldn't do it again. Spend your time thinking about the trivial things.What he thought more about was the assessment of his first batch of subordinates. There were still many vacancies for officers in his Shamen Town, waiting for him to be promoted.

From noon to march until dark, more than 100 people in full armor marched for a long time without resting on the road.Moreover, the marching formation was maintained well, with probing horses in front and rangers in the back, which fully met Li Jing's requirements.It seems that his one-month training had a considerable effect in the end.They have come a long way since they arrived a month ago.

"Brother Lin, among these people, who are suitable for promotion?"

Lin Wei was riding on a horse, holding his beloved lance, turned his head and said: "These people are all good, young, with a good foundation, and after the fourth brother's training for a month, they already have some soldiers. Looks good. But when it comes to officers, it doesn’t matter if you have great strength or good martial arts. Officers don’t need to be the bravest, but they should be calm, experienced, and able to think. From this point of view, I think choosing age The bigger ones, it’s better to be steady in doing things. Those who are bulky can be chosen as the standard bearer and deputy standard bearer.”

The standard bearer is very important to a team, and sometimes it is even second only to the team leader.When discussing merit, the first merit is beheading the general, the second merit is capturing the flag, the third merit is protecting the team leader, and then saving the flag, and the next one is beheading.When the two armies are at war, if the leader of the team is lost, the whole team will have no command.If the flag is lost, it will be impossible to command the whole team and the morale of the army will be lost.Therefore, the standard bearer has always been chosen to be someone with strong individual ability.

Li Jing has high expectations for Zuo Yidu, this is the first team he leads.It is also the officer corps he is looking forward to. If his team expands in the future, then the officers must be separated from here.It can be said that to a certain extent, whether Zuo Yi can lead well is related to his entire other teams in the future.

For three and a half days in a row, Li Jing and the others maintained an excellent formation and good speed.Every day, they marched eighty miles in full armor on foot. By the evening of the fourth day, it took them six days to go to Dengzhou. It took them only three and a half days to reach Chishan, only a few miles away from Wangli Village. It's been more than ten miles.However, Li Jing didn't go back directly to Wangli Village. In fact, many brothers' homes in Zuo Yidu had already passed by, but Li Jing still didn't disband the team.

All the people in Zuoyidu didn't stop until Chishan, the army should look like an army, this is what Li Jing never forgot.

"Stop moving forward, stop at Chishan Village at the foot of Chishan tonight. Tell the soldiers on duty to prepare wine and meat tonight, and everyone will eat and drink well, and then everyone will take their own things and go home early tomorrow morning. .Remember, the holiday only lasts until the eighth day, and after the eighth day, everyone will still gather here."

All the soldiers were very excited when they heard the news, and they didn't need Li Jing's instructions after they stopped. Those who unloaded their loads unloaded their loads, those who drank their horses drank their horses, those who bought them bought them, and those who made reservations made reservations.Li Jing was still very familiar with the Chishan Village at the door of his house, so he took everyone to the largest Shilla Jincheng Mansion shop by the roadside at the entrance of the village.

"Shopkeeper, we take care of your shop tonight!" Li Jing said directly into the shop.

Behind the counter, a middle-aged man with an apologetic expression bowed his hands to Li Jing and said, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the shop is full, please go elsewhere."

Li Jing looked around the store, the huge store was empty, there was no one walking around, it didn't seem to be full at all. "Boss, I have a lot of money from you."

"I'm really sorry, guest officer. It's really not that I'm a small person who is embarrassing. It's just that a few young masters have taken over the whole shop. I took all the money. I'm really sorry." As he was speaking, the stairs on the second floor There was a sound of footsteps above, and a young man in white came down with the two of them.The shopkeeper said as if he had been rescued: "It's this young master who has set up a small shop. I'm really sorry."
