Cui Hongsheng, whose name is Shangke, was born in the Cui family of Boling, is currently the prefect of Shanggu County, which is Li Jing's immediate superior. To be honest, Cui Hongsheng didn't like Li Jing very much because Li Jing was too boring. The key is that he didn't know how to welcome Shangguan. In the six months since he took office, he has never taken the initiative to visit the prefect's house except for official business. The only time was when Cui Hongsheng posted a post to invite him for his birthday. Li Jing came to celebrate his birthday, but the gift was only two boxes of gift cakes and two birthday noodles, which made Cui Hongsheng laugh and cry.

However, Cui Hongsheng had to admit that although Li Jing did not know how to be a human being, he was very good at doing things and had very strong abilities, especially in managing and suppressing bandits. After only half a year of taking office, he trained a group of county soldiers to transform into a powerful force, and his combat power rose sharply. He turned from fighting the five scumbags into an elite soldier who could win battles, which was really impressive.

Shanggu County is connected to Yanshan Mountain in the north, Taihang in the south, Juyong in the east, Dai County in the west, and Dai County in the west. The territory is dense and the geographical environment is dangerous and the people are tough. There are more lice on the head of thieves and horses than Lai Li. For example, our old friends Wang Xuba and Li Shanfei were once bandits who were rampant in this area.

Juyang County is the county seat of Shanggu County. Even so, tax collectors may be robbed when they go out of the city to collect taxes. The bad public security can be seen. All the prefects assigned to serve here have a headache. Cui Hongsheng is naturally no exception. He has been helpless in this since he took office for three years. As a result, Li Jing only came for half a year and actually wiped out several bandits near Juyang County. Then he also built hundreds of bloody bandit heads into Jingguan. This action scared the remaining bandits and quickly fled far away with his tail.

As a result, the security environment near Juyang County was greatly improved, and surrounding villages and towns could even stay closed at night. Li Jing also got the nickname Jingshanhu, or Li Yanwang.

Although Cui Hongsheng didn't like Li Jing, Li Jing's ability was obvious to all. He reversed the public security near Ju County after only half a year of office, so that Prince Cui could be at ease with his concubines at night. Therefore, Cui Hongsheng was very supportive of Li Jing's work, almost asking for money, people, and weapons. He also encouraged Li Jing repeatedly and asked him to let go (brother protects you), and it would be best to kill all the bandits in Shanggu County to death by the prefect.

This day was the twelfth day of the second month. Cui Hongsheng took a group of subordinates out of the city to inspect the rural areas and villages. He did not dare before. Now the bandits near Juyang have been wiped out by Li Jing. Cui is naturally willing to show his diligence and closeness as a parent official in front of the people.

Prefect Cui came to the fields and "climbed" several farmers who were farming. After a cordial conversation and encouragement, he ended today's inspection work and returned to the city to continue his daily life.

When Cui Hongsheng was drinking the sweet lotus seeds and snow ear soup, he finally woke up and didn't see Li Jing for a while, so he asked Mu Liao beside him, "What are our Jingshan Tigers doing recently?"

All the staff members smiled, and one of them replied with a chuckle: "Jingshanhu naturally went to patrol the mountain. He took a thousand county soldiers to the north a few days ago. It is estimated that he has made great achievements."

Cui Hongsheng heard this and said, "No matter he is, it is better to clean up all the mountains in Shanggu County."

The staff laughed again. Although Li Jing was not likable, he was a talented person who could work. Since he came, he has solved the problem that the prefect has always been troubled by. This year's Ministry of Personnel Assessment should be able to be awarded the highest level.

The setting sun sets westward like a huge fireball, about to sink under the horizon. The afterglow dyes the vast field into blood-red. The fields are lonely, the twilight is vast, and the thawed river water is flowing quietly. More than a dozen war horses leisurely ate the first batch of spring grass growing by the river.

Li Jing sat by the river with his back to Xichang, holding a water bag in one hand and a dough cake in the other hand, and the sunset casts a long shadow on him and the iron gun inserted beside him.

A thousand county soldiers behind him were doing the same thing. Toast cakes and water were their dinner. No one complained, because Juncheng Li ate the same food as everyone else, and everyone knew that once the battle was won, Juncheng Li would definitely give everyone all the spoils, and he took the least one himself, or even didn't take a single point.

The reason why the county soldiers respected Li Junzhu was because Li Junzhu was selfless, had strict military governance, and had clear rewards and punishments.

The reason why the county soldiers respected and loved Li Junzhu because Li Junzhu was selfless and set an example and loved soldiers as much as his son.

The reason why the county soldiers support Li Junzhu is because Li Junzhu is like a god 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 bastards who were pointed at the back and scolded by the people. When they saw bandits and bandits, they fled in panic. Since Li Juncheng came, the soldiers of the county suddenly realized that they were actually very good at fighting. The horse bandits were not as terrible as they imagined. They would bleed when they were shot, and their necks would be cut off. Therefore, they became more and more brave and fought more and more battles. The people's eyes changed when they saw them, and they all gave thumbs up. The bandits who used to be disdainful of them now look invincible whenever they saw them.

After so many years as a county soldier, everyone has finally tasted the honor of being a soldier, and their backs are getting straighter and straighter. Now they can finally hold their heads high and walk on the official road with confidence!

The sunset finally sank. Night fell, and a bright moon rose slowly from the blue sky in the east. Li Jing stood up and pulled out his iron spear and turned over the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Continue to march!"

The county soldiers stood up in unison, making no noise, and continued to march in the direction of the rising moon. No one knew what the mission was, but no one asked.

The team rushed eastward for a while under the moon, and the moon had risen high. At this time, Li Jing ordered camping on the spot.

Li Jing was very strict in the army and was not allowed to speak during the march, but after setting up camp, he did not pay attention to it. The soldiers were allowed to chat or even play moderately.

"Sir, let's go north after leaving Juyang. Now we have left the Great Wall. Could it be that the Lord is planning to go to Yudu Jinshan to attack the Turkic tent?" a personal soldier asked half-jokingly.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Jing, and they obviously had questions in their hearts. The march was too far, which was a bit unreasonable.

Li Jing said: "You guy is so beautiful. This place is still far from Yudu Jinshan. In fact, there is no mission this time. I just take you guys to practice a long-distance marching."

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

Shortly after the county soldiers set up camp, a figure sneaked in. The alert scout found it and immediately rode his horse around and caught the uninvited guest.

"Mr. Prince, catch a spy who spyed on our camp!" The scout threw the "spy" tied into rice dumplings in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing looked at the spy and said coldly: "What are you doing? What do you mean by peeking at this official camp?"

The "spy" was Ha Ni from Hari's tribe. He glanced at Li Jing first and found that his appearance was exactly the same as what Changqing described. Then he said tremblingly: "Caomin is a herdsman from Hari's tribe nearby. The lord led his troops into our pastoral area. Caomin came to negotiate and had no malice!"

Li Jing frowned and said, "Harri's? But the Harri's who paid tribute to the emperor at the end of last year?"

Ha Ni nodded violently and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I don't know what the adults call me?"

Li Jing relaxed his expression and said, "It turned out to be the Harry tribe. I am the governor of Shanggu County. I happened to pass by here. I didn't expect that this was the pastoral area of ​​your Harry tribe. Well, I will lead the army to leave immediately to avoid misunderstandings."

Ha Ni waved his hand quickly and said, "It turns out that it is Lord Li from Shanggu County. That's fine. Hari's tribe is also a member of the Sui Dynasty. Since Lord Li is passing by here, Hari should be warmly welcomed him. There is a way to drive him away. By the way, I heard that Lord Li and Gao Mujian are sworn brothers?"

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

Ha Ni smiled and said, "Mr. Li doesn't know anything. Our Harry team is very familiar with Gao Mujian. The horse farm that Gao Mujian is about to open is not far from our pastoral area."
