When Wendeng County united its troops into Penglai City, the entire Penglai City caused a sensation.

Li Jing and others left Wendeng and marched slowly, only marching for sixty miles a day, and walked from Wendeng to Penglai for six days. However, the legends of Li Jing and others were like wings, and had already been spread from Wendeng to Penglai a few days ago.

After the death of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who was called the Little Taizong by the people, the Little Zhenguan of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was completely gone. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, three fires burned three fires, one fire made "power and powerful people gathered their traces", two fires made "treacherous ministers feared the law", three fires made "the treacherous ministers" and "the wise man" and praised him as "wise ruler" and "the hero". Emperor Xuanzong was wise and decisive, used his methods without selfishness, followed the flow of advice, valued officials and rewarded them, respected and frugal, and loved the people's affairs. Therefore, the policy of the Great Central Committee ended in the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and people thought about it and called him Xiao Taizong.

This younger brother of Emperor Muzong of Tang, Emperor Jingzong of Tang, Emperor Wenzong of Wuzong, and the uncle of Emperor Wuzong, was the last emperor to become the throne as the emperor of the Emperor Taishu. He was the last emperor to do something. Since Emperor Xuanzong passed away and Emperor Yizong was in power, Huang Xi died all his life, and then Li Yan, who is only twelve years old, ascended the throne, the life of the Tang Dynasty was getting worse day by day. Qiu Fu made chaos, Pang Xun made chaos, and natural disasters continued, and bandits rose.

The Jiedushi of Pinglu, Ziqing, has always been called a wealthy place. Its prosperity is better and better, and prices have always been stable and low. But even such a place has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Bandits, horse thieves, and pirates are rising and plundering everywhere, but the court cannot destroy these thieves. The Jiedushi of Qingzhou has also written to various prefectures and counties to strictly order the suppression of bandits, but the bandits have become more and more nests, and they have never seen good news from the government.

At this time, twelve united soldiers from Wendeng County came from Wang Chong and Li Jing, who had first pacified the bandits of Xihuozhai, and then fought against the "Zhendonghai" famous in the coastal areas, and finally returned to victory. This news is said to have been verified by the Shangguanfu of the State Administration. The story of the twelve generals of Chishan has long been spread in Wendeng County. For the people and vendors in Penglai in the state city, this news is so exciting. This is the first time in the past few decades that they have heard such exciting news.

At this time, in front of the south gate of Penglai City, countless people rushed out of the city to watch the twelve generals of Chishan who were victorious in Chishan, hoping to get the first to see the style of the twelve generals. Of course, such a lively scene was not only spontaneous by the people, but also by some people in the state who were behind the scenes.

This time, the group was summoned to form troops, and nearly 50,000 households in the three counties of Dengzhou were recruited and recruited more than 3,000 troops according to the rules. The five prefectures under the rule of the Jiedushi of Pinglu of Ziqing, recruited nearly 20,000 troops. It turned out that the entire Ziqing Pinglu ruled the strongest in the entire Ziqing Pinglu period and had 100,000 troops. However, since it was captured by the court and divided into three, the strength of the Ziqing Pinglu army has remained at about 35,600.

The Jiedushi also wanted to expand his army, but no one dared to cross the red line first. This time, the court felt that after the natural disaster, the number of bandits continued to increase, and ordered all localities to recruit united soldiers, one to train reserve troops, and the other to remove young and strong people from all over the countryside to prevent the deterioration of the countryside. However, when the Jiedushi was ordered, there were other ideas below.

The Jiedushi of Pinglu of Ziqing wanted to take this opportunity to expand his military power and train his troops. Therefore, when ordering all counties and townships to recruit township groups, they also asked all township counties to be responsible for supplying donkeys, horses, and weapons and equipment funds. These were originally parts that were not found in the court's official documents, but now they have been clearly issued to all counties and townships. Many township counties responded very fiercely to this, because many local people did not have money and food to be responsible for this after the disaster.

Although Dengzhou relied on the power of the government, more than 3,000 united soldiers were forced to be recruited, but there was a hidden undercurrent lurking in the local area. At this time, the government needed to divert the attention of local people. At this time, the incident of Li Jing, Wang Chong and others meeting bandits in Chishan was reported. A matter that was not big was secretly pushed by the interested people in the state. Gradually, things began to change.

Li Jing and others had just arrived in Penglai. Before they could enter the city, an official in the state arrived first. He came to the prefecture at this time and conveyed several instructions. The core of the key was that the prefecture would hold a grand entry ceremony for the meritorious soldiers such as Wang Chong and Li Jing.

At the south gate of Penglai, the people and vendors in the city rushed out of the city. The first thing they saw was the 1,000 united recruits in Wendeng County. Dengzhou was under the jurisdiction of four counties, namely Penglai, Huangxian, Mouping and Wendeng. The households were more than 46,000 and the mouth was more than 238,000. At this time, when the population and economy of the entire Tang Dynasty were regressing, they were guarding the Datang Hailu trade channel, and then connected to Hebei in the north, Jidu in the west, and Huaiyang in the south, and the population rose instead of falling, reaching the peak of the population of Dengzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Especially in the period when the Li Zhengyi, a general of the Goguryeo tribe in the Tang Dynasty, the Ziqing prefectures became more prosperous and stable. Although the Li family had been conquered by the court for more than 50 years, the Ziqing prefectures were still more prosperous than other states in the Central Plains.

Among the four counties, Wendeng County is the farthest from Penglai, Dengzhou's capital is located in Penglai, Penglai is in the north and Wendeng is in the south. It is nearly 500 miles apart from the seaside in the north of Penglai to the seaside in Wendeng. The united soldiers of Wendeng County were the last to arrive in Penglai, and the Muping united soldiers, the latest united soldiers of the other three counties, also arrived a day and a half ago.

The people of Penglai have seen the united soldiers entering the city three times, but this is the first time they have seen the mighty and neat united soldiers like Wendeng County. The united soldiers were originally just a group of mud-legged farmers and craftsmen. The united soldiers they saw in front of them were like this, all of them were recruits, mostly young men of eighteen or nineteen years old. The team was in a mess and had no shape, especially the united soldiers were wearing messy clothes and all kinds of things. Some were wearing squids and round neck shirts, some were wrapped in flat towels and short browns, and many people were wearing straw sandals, and even some were barefoot.

But the united soldiers entering the city were different at this time. The Wendeng united soldiers, who had a total of 1,000 people, were already wearing a unified black military uniform. Everyone was carrying a bow on their backs, carrying a three-foot horizontal knife on their waists, holding a spear on their hands, wearing bronze helmets, leather armor, and black leather boots on their feet.

Although the formation of thousands of people is a bit uneven, the neat colors, flying flags, and dazzling spear tips make the hearts of the people in Penglai beating violently. That momentum makes people feel the urge to shout loudly.

Amid the neat steps, a team of horses suddenly rushed over.

In the thin dust, a team of 100-man cavalry circled from both sides of the infantry to the front of the team.

The dust gradually dissipated. At first glance, what fell in front of everyone was a large row of neat tall horses, gorgeous saddles, and the string of copper bells hanging under the neck of the war horse. When the war horse moved, the sound of the jingling copper bells rang.

On the first row of war horses were Wang Chong and Li Jing eleven. Behind each of them, there were special knights holding a flag and writing their names to each person.

At this time, Li Jing rode on the red horse sent by the village chief Wang Lao. The prefecture originally arranged a tall war horse for him, but Li Jing was only familiar with the red horse at this time. He was afraid of a sudden accident, so he finally rode the tall red horse. The red horse seemed to be a little startled by the warm scene in front of him, and he was a little uneasy and paddled the front hooves on the ground. Li Jing gently stroked the red horse's neck to soothe his emotions.

Behind Li Jing, two knights were sitting on horseback, holding a flag in their hands, writing to Li Jing, a warrior of Dengzhou Tuanjie Battalion, and writing to the other one with a hundred steps, unparalleled intelligence. Next to them, there was a row of knights wearing various banners, with famous officials and titles written on them. For example, Wang Chong's two flags said, Wang Chong, the powerful generals of Dengzhou Tuanjie Battalion, Wu Ben, and the one who blocked them was invincible.

In addition, Li Jing and others were wearing a big red silk flower, just like the groom who married and the top scorer in the imperial examination.

Amid the noise, there was a sudden gong sound, and the gong was ringing and the officials arrived.

After the Gonggongs in Jingjie, there were signs of avoidance, and behind them, a team wearing exquisite armor came over.

The team was riding horses. Li Jing saw a man in front of him, wearing a purple waist, a purple robe, a goldfish bag, and a horse riding. He couldn't help but be stunned. He was wearing a purple waist, a goldfish bag, and a goldfish bag. The Tang Dynasty ruled that only the third grade or above were purple!

This person was actually a third-rank official. Among the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty, only the governor of Shangzhou was from the third-rank. There was only one person who could wear purple robes in Dengzhou Prefecture, so he was from the governor of Dengzhou. Unexpectedly, they were even alarmed by the governor.
