Cui Hongsheng, nicknamed Shangge, was born in the Cui family of Boling. He is currently the governor of Shanggu County and is Li Jing's immediate boss. To be honest, Cui Hongsheng doesn't like Li Jing very much because Li Jing is too boring and the key is to please Shangguan.

Take office

In the past six months, except for official business, he had never visited the prefect's residence. The only time Cui Hongsheng had celebrated his birthday was when he sent a message to invite him. Li Jing came to congratulate him on his birthday, but the gifts only included two boxes of gift cakes and two packages of birthday noodles. Cui Hongsheng

I can't laugh or cry.

However, Cui Hongsheng had to admit that although Li Jing didn't know how to behave, he was very good at doing things and had very strong abilities. He was especially successful in running the army and suppressing bandits. He trained a group of idle county soldiers in just half a year after taking office.

He was completely reborn, his combat power skyrocketed, and he transformed from a scumbag into an elite soldier capable of winning battles, which is really impressive.

Shanggu County borders Yanshan to the north, Taihang to the south, Juyong to the east, and Dai County to the west. The territory is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the geographical environment is dangerous, the people are fierce, and there are more thieves and horse bandits than lice on the head of a scabies patient. For example,

Our old friends Wang Xuba and Li Shanfei were once ruthless bandits who were rampant in this area.

Juyang County is the seat of Shanggu County. Even so, tax collectors may be robbed when they go out to collect taxes on weekdays. The bad public security is evident. All the governors who have been assigned to serve here have suffered from headaches. Cui Hongsheng is no exception. In the three years since he took office

Nothing to do with it

As a result, Li Jing only came here for half a year, and he actually wiped out several groups of bandits near Juyang County, and then built hundreds of bloody bandit heads into Jingguan. This move could kill the remaining bandits.

I was so frightened that I quickly ran away with my tail between my legs.

As a result, the security environment near Juyang County immediately improved greatly, and the surrounding villages and towns could even stay open at night. As a result, Li Jing also got the nickname Jingshan Tiger, or Li Yan Wang.

Although Cui Hongsheng didn't like Li Jing, Li Jing's ability was obvious to all. In just half a year after taking office, he turned around the public security around Ju County, allowing Cui Taishou to have a good time with his concubines at night, so Cui Hongsheng was very satisfied.

To support Li Jing's work, he almost asked for money, people, and weapons. He also encouraged Li Jing over and over again, asking him to go ahead and do it (I'll protect you). It's best to kill the bandits in Shanggu County.

They all died for me.

This day was the twelfth day of the second lunar month. Cui Hongsheng led a group of officials out of the city to inspect Nongsang. He had not dared to do so before. Now that all the bandits near Juyang had been wiped out by Li Jing, Cui Hongsheng was naturally willing to show off in front of the people.

As a parent official, I am diligent and close to the people.

Cui Taishou came to the fields and "encountered" several farmers who were farming. After a cordial conversation and encouragement, he ended today's inspection work and returned to the city to continue taking care of his daily tasks.

While Cui Hongsheng was drinking the sweet lotus seed and snow fungus soup, he finally woke up and realized that he hadn't seen Li Jing for a while, so he asked Mu Liao next to him: "What has our Jingshan Tiger been doing lately?"

The staff all smiled, and one of them chuckled and replied: "Jingshanhu is naturally patrolling the mountains. He led a thousand county soldiers to the north a few days ago. He must have done something big."

Cui Hongsheng heard this and said: "Ignore him, it would be better if we clean up all the mountains in Shanggu County."

All the staff laughed again. Although this Li Jing was not lovable, he was a talented person who could work hard. Since he came, he has solved the problem that the prefect has been having a headache for. This year's official assessment should be rated as excellent.

…………

The setting sun sets in the west like a huge fireball, about to sink below the horizon. The afterglow dyes the vast wilderness into blood red. The fields are lonely, the twilight is vast, the thawed river flows quietly, and a dozen war horses are leisurely.

The ground was eating the first spring grass that had grown by the river.

Li Jing sat by the river with his back to the setting sun, holding a water bag in one hand and nibbling bread with relish in the other. The setting sun cast long shadows on him and the iron gun stuck next to him.

A thousand county soldiers behind him were doing the same thing. Their dinner was toasted bread and water. No one had any complaints, because Li Juncheng ate the same food as everyone else, and everyone knew that once the battle was won,

, Li Juncheng will definitely distribute the spoils to everyone, and he will take the least, or even none at all.

The reason why the county soldiers respected Li Juncheng was because Li Juncheng was selfless, strict in running the army, and clear in rewards and punishments.

The reason why the county soldiers respect and love Li Juncheng is because Li Juncheng is selfless, leads by example, and loves his soldiers like his own son.

The reason why the county soldiers support Li Juncheng is because Li Juncheng is a god in using his troops and can always lead everyone to win battles and lead everyone to win one glory after another.

In the past, the soldiers of Shanggu County were a group of wimps who were scolded by the common people. They would run away when they saw bandits and bandits. But since Li Juncheng came, the soldiers suddenly realized that they were actually very good at fighting.

Horse thieves are actually not as scary as they thought.

Arrows will bleed, and heads will fall off if the neck is cut off. As a result, they become more and more brave and win more and more battles. The people's eyes changed when they looked at them, and they gave them thumbs up. They used to look at them with disdain.

The bandits are now invincible whenever they are seen.

After serving as county soldiers for so many years, everyone finally tasted the honor of being a soldier, and their backs became straighter and straighter. Now they can finally hold their heads high and walk on the official road confidently!

The sun finally set, night fell, and a bright moon rose slowly from the blue sky in the east. Li Jing stood up, pulled out his iron gun, got on his horse, and said in a deep voice: "Continue marching!"

The county soldiers stood up in unison without making any noise and continued their night march in the direction of the rising moon. No one knew what their mission was, but no one asked.

The team marched eastwards under the moonlight for an hour. The moon had already risen high. At this time, Li Jing ordered to set up camp on the spot.

Li Jing was very strict in managing the army and was not allowed to talk during the march, but after setting up camp, he was not so strict and allowed the soldiers to chat and even play moderately.

"Sir, we left Juyang and headed north. Now we have left the Great Wall. Could it be that your intention is to go to Jinshan in the capital to surprise the Turks' tent?" a soldier asked half-jokingly.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Jing, and they obviously had doubts in their hearts. This march was really too far, and it was a bit unreasonable.

Li Jing said: "What you think is pretty good. This place is still far away from the Jinshan Mountains in Yudu. In fact, there is no mission this time. I just want to take you guys to experience a long-distance march."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this. They were not afraid of fighting bandits, but they were unsure of fighting the Turks.

Not long after the county soldiers set up camp, a figure sneaked closer. The alert scouts noticed it and immediately rode around to catch the uninvited guest.

"Lord Commander, we caught a spy spying on our camp!" The scout threw the "spy" tied up like a rice dumpling in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing took a look at the spy and said coldly: "What do you do? What do you want to peek into my camp?"

The "spy" was Hani from the Harry tribe. He glanced at Li Jing first and found that his appearance was exactly the same as what the elder Changqing had described. Then he said tremblingly: "The grass people are the herdsmen of the nearby Harry tribe. Your Excellency led the troops to enter."

The grassroots people in our pastoral area are here to negotiate, and they have no ill intentions!"

Li Jing frowned and said: "The Harry Department? But the Harry Department that paid tribute to the emperor at the end of last year?"

Hani nodded fiercely and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I wonder what you call me?"

Li Jing looked relieved and said: "It turns out that this is the Harry Tribe, and I am the Prime Minister of Shanggu County. I happened to pass by this place, but I didn't expect that this is the pastoral area of ​​your Harry Tribe. Anyway, I will lead my troops and leave immediately to avoid any misunderstanding."

Hani quickly waved his hand and said: "It turns out he is Mr. Li from Shanggu County. That's okay. Harry's tribe is also a subject of the Sui Dynasty. Since Mr. Li is passing by here, Harry should warmly receive him. There is a way to drive him away. By the way.

I heard that Mr. Li and Gao Mujian are sworn brothers?"

Li Jing said in surprise: "How did you know?"

Hani chuckled and said: "Master Li, I don't know. Our Harry Department and Gao Mujian are very familiar with each other. The horse farm that Gao Mujian is about to open is not far from our pastoral area."

Li Jing suddenly said: "That's it!"
