ps: Thanks to Brothers such as Huoyun Palace, Allian and Chunshuidongliu for their monthly ticket encouragement.

The power competition within Lu Long began in a relatively mild form and ended at an unexpected speed. The whole process took less than a month. Both sides did not announce the war seriously, nor did they have any tragic battles.

The entire war consists of three parts from the west to the east, including the Battle of Youzhou, the Battle of Shicheng and the Battle of Yuguan, but in fact there was no big damage. Only Liu Yanlang and dozens of personal guards were killed in the Battle of Youzhou, and the entire city changed hands; the Battle of Shicheng seemed to be tragic, and Liu Shouguang and Liu Zhiwen were all dead, but in fact the ordinary soldiers did not incite much to fight, surrender, and even those who ran away finally came back to surrender again; to say that the one who really got angry, perhaps the only one who fought in Yuguan, the Jizhou soldiers sacrificed their lives to attack under Zhao Jing's strict order, causing hundreds of casualties to Yuan Xingqin's troops stationed in Yuguan. At the same time, Badu Cavalry fell into a big blow in front of the Yingzhou cavalry, and the losses were nearly a thousand.

After all, this is the internal power seizure of Lu Long's family. Ordinary soldiers are not in a strong sense of fighting, and even the soldiers of Yingzhou Army did not show the ruthlessness of facing the Khitans outside the pass.

From the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Chengzhong, who was sitting in Shicheng, began to receive documents from various places to win.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the great victory in Shicheng was held. Liu Shouguang and Liu Zhiwen were awarded the title. On the same day, the Huaiyou coalition forces rushed to report to kill Liu Yanlang and Youzhou was all in his pocket.

On the 29th day of the first lunar month, Zhao Yuande surrendered and presented to Cangzhou.

On February 1, the Huaiyue coalition forces entered Hu Su, Leling, and the south side of Wei Bo and Xuanwu's control line.

On February 3, Zhao Ting committed suicide in Jizhou, and Zhong Shao entered Jizhou.

On February 5, Yu Pass won the victory. The troops in Jizhou were defeated and Zhao Jing was killed.

On February 7, Zhao Ba led the remnants of Badu to surrender.

On February 10, Li Chengzhong led the civil and military officials of the Yingzhou Governor's Office who had gathered together, and joined forces with the left and right wings of the Yingzhou Army and the Laoying. The preparatory camps of each city had a total of more than 8,000 people leaving Shicheng, traveled west along the official road, passed Yutian, passed Sanhe, and stationed in Lu County.

On the fifteenth day of February, the army set off.

At the time of Si, he left the post pavilion ten miles away from Youzhou and made an appointment with the coalition forces Zhong Shao, and dozens of military generals below Jieli welcomed Li Chengzhong.

At noon, the army arrived outside the East Gate of Youzhou East Gate.

The flags were floating and the armor was bright. Five thousand Huaiyou coalition forces lined up outside the city to welcome them.

Under the Andong Gate, Gao Liu, Wang Jingrou, Li Juncao, Han Mengyin, Yuan Congbo and other leaders of the wealthy families in Youzhou were waiting for him. Guo Bingcheng, the Jiedu Palace, and hundreds of officials were below the prime minister.

Li Chengzhong immediately bowed his hand and exchanged greetings with the wealthy families in Youzhou and the officials of the Jiedu Prefecture.

After a while, the sanctions of the welcome queues were completed. Civil officials led by Zhang Zaiji, Han Mengyin, Yuan Congbo, Feng Dao, and military generals led by Wang Jingrou, Li Juncao, Zhou Zhiyu, Zhang Xingzhong, Jiang Miao, Zhou Kan, Zhong Shao were all divided into squads, and more than 200 civil and military officials bowed to their condolences.

When we arrived here, the young Yingzhou civil and military officials naturally fell behind the Youzhou civil and military officials in the sorting. Whether it was Zhang Zaiji, Han Mengyin, Yuan Congbo, Wang Jingrou, Li Juncao and Zhou Zhiyu, they just took out one. The qualifications and official titles were overwhelming them. What's more important is that these people are their elders, they are simply incomparable.

Even Han Yanhui, who was responsible for singing the ceremony in Bohai, lost his energy as he had back then. He was barely at the end of the squad, and he dared not show his eyes in front of his father Han Mengyin. Now he could only shrink his neck and follow him without saying a word. His duty to sing the ceremony in front of the monarch and minister of the Bohai Kingdom was taken over by the Jiedushi Guo Bingcheng.

In front of the old people's full set of gorgeous court uniforms, the young Yingzhou civil and military officials looked much shabby.

Guo Bingcheng's voice has been a little hoarse recently, but he still used all his strength to sing: "The civil and military soldiers of Youzhou welcomed the governor of Yingzhou"

Li Chengzhong bowed and gestured immediately.

"The emperor lives in the temple, and the princes are pastoring all directions. Therefore, the king split the land to give it to him, and the ministers hold the integrity and worship it. Therefore, the Chinese tripods and the nine barbarians are in vain... Now Hebei is not stable, and Youzhou is still empty, and the military governor is not there. I am afraid that the people will not be able to live in the residence, and the officials will lose punishment, and prevent evil people from being superior. The scholars have different opinions... Youzhou civil and military officials, and the soldiers discuss with each other, and they jointly hold the governor of Yingzhou, and temporarily hold the double flags and double flags, and take charge of the general army, and specialize in killing. I will leave the queen Lu Long to wait for the imperial decree! Please accept it."

Li Chengzhong immediately bowed and bowed to all directions: "Cheng Zhong is dull and dare not accept it!"

Guo Bingcheng shouted: "This is the wish of the common people, please accept it." He led the civil and military officials to bow and bow again. Tens of thousands of soldiers under Youzhou City shouted in unison: "Please accept it."

Li Chengzhong bowed again and said humbly: "Zhengzhong is not talented and is very frightened. He only hopes that those who are virtuous will be in this position and will be blessed by the common people. He dare not accept it. Please resign!"

Guo Bingcheng said sternly: "Lu Long has been a hundred years, and those who are not powerful cannot be suppressed. The governor will not accept it. But what about the people of Youzhou? God has given me something but it is not taken away. If the civil and military personnel are placed, what about the soldiers? Please accept it."

The civil and military officials, tens of thousands of soldiers followed Guo Bingcheng to bow to the ground, shouting in unison: "Please accept it by the governor."

Li Chengzhong was silent for a long time and sighed, "For Youzhou, Lu Long, and the people's plans, I will accept it. When the court has a decree, I will choose a virtuous person and give in."

The civil and military officials stood up, and the soldiers chanted and finished the ceremony.

The whole set of etiquette is very simple. In Li Chengzhong's opinion, it is full of pretentiousness, which is nothing more than three recommendations and three giving. But the ancients paid attention to this and had to say that they didn't want it. You forced me to come to power. Li Chengzhong's own experience seems to include the meaning of pranks such as "If I can't do it well, don't blame me, I'm very helpless. If I kill you, don't blame me."

So Li Chengzhong dismounted his horse and rode a four-horse carriage. The four-horse carriage was a carriage pulled by four horses. The emperor controlled six, five princes and four nobles. Li Chengzhong was elected as the queen of Lu Long. Although he was not a real Jiedu, he temporarily held the double flags and double lords. In terms of power, he was equivalent to the Jiedushi, and his treatment was also referred to the Jiedushi.

The Jiedushi himself is an institution and has no rank. The Jiedushi generally has to serve as the governor of the state where he is stationed, which is the original official, but this official rank is also different from the upper, middle and lower states. The higher ones can be the third rank, while the lower ones are only the sixth rank. For example, the Jiedushi Lulong, who is also the governor of Youzhou, is also called Youzhou Jiedushi, and is a high-ranking Jiedushi.

This leads to the different ranks of the governors in various places, and it is easy to have strong towns and low ranks or weak towns and high ranks. They quarrel over this and even often cause trouble. In order to save trouble, the court simply leveled the ranks of the governors in each town by adding envoys. For example, before Liu Rengong was awarded the title of "Pingzhangshi in the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Minister of the Central Committee".

Li Chengzhong was doing the traditional cause of the Hebei vassal states "being supported" as the descendant, and there was no connection. However, given Lu Long's status among the vassal states in the world, as long as the court recognized it, he would definitely be appointed as the minister, so he could "respect him" and play the horn drums and chariots.

Guo Bingcheng waved his hand and an official from the Jiedu Prefecture moved forward with a lacquer box. He took the lacquer box and handed it to Li Chengzhong on the chariot. Li Chengzhong opened it and saw two objects lying in the box. One was a golden tiger talisman divided into two halves. This was a copper talisman for the dispatch of troops, symbolizing the military power of "control and dispatching"; the other was a yellow and white jade seal, engraved with seal text that Li Chengzhong could not understand, but he knew that this was the seal of the Jiedu Prefecture and symbolizing the civil rights of "Duzhiyingtian".

The seal is actually a kind of jade-like act by the governors over the past century. According to the law, the seals of all officials should be bronze, but Li Chengzhong himself did not know these things. No one explained to him that in Lu Long's army, this has been a habit of being passed down for half a year.

The two are in line with each other, which is the bronze talisman seal of Lulong Jiedu.

Li Chengzhong was in high spirits. After transferring to the four-carriage carriage, he entered along the Andong Gate. There were dozens of mighty and majestic ceremonial soldiers in front of the carriage, all of which were the ceremonial guards of the former Jiedu Palace. Liu Shouguang went to Shicheng to fight, so he naturally would not take them away, so they were directly recruited by Guo Bingcheng, which gave Li Chengzhong a discount.

These soldiers raised their ceremonial guards in their hands, and at the front were guided by two yellow door flags, and four archers under them were guarding them.

The two flags on the back are high, one dragon flag and one tiger flag, and are decorated with five-colored bird feathers. This is a dragon and tiger flag. It is made of two gold and copper leaves, and the two-section shaped like a wooden plate, with a lifelike Gan Jin dragon head carved on the plate. The double flags are dedicated to rewards and two-section ceremonies are dedicated to killing. This is a unique ceremonial guard of the governor and symbolizes his authority. In other words, Li Chengzhong can decide on the promotion and punishment of officials below the fifth rank. As for officials above the fifth rank and below the third rank, they can impeach the court and reconsider the court, but generally speaking, all officials under Lu Long will not refute Li Chengzhong's opinions at will, and they cannot refute them. As for the courts above the third rank, there are basically no such official positions. Some have added the third rank, the royal family or the strong town with the three divisions, the three ranks or the three ranks of kings or the princes. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for Li Chengzhong to encounter one.

The double flags, followed by two guns and two leopard tails. This is a pair of objects that match the double flags and double flags and double flags and balance yin and yang according to the five elements of heaven and earth. Li Chengzhong doesn’t know what the specific principle is.

The four-carriage is followed by the six-chariot, which is the authority to build a festival for travel. Then the drummer, gong player, and ox drum drum gong rings, making the streets and alleys sounded.

This set of ceremonial guards is actually the ceremonial guards of the Jiedu. Li Chengzhong is not qualified to be "supported" as the Jiedu. The ceremonial guards are the sermon established when the Jiedu or the Observer is a temporary dispatch, not to mention the temporary dispatch that is "supported". Using this set of ceremonial guards is an usurpation. But who cares about this in the world today? What's more, when Li Chengzhong was praised as the "Present Khan" on the grassland, he had already passed by it once, so he enjoyed all this with peace of mind.

The wide long street has long been cleared, and along the sides of the street are densely packed with infantry soldiers from Huaiyue, guarding various yamen runners. Youzhou City has changed its owners in the past ten years, and the people have long been accustomed to the Dianyi of the army entering the city. Under the leadership of the Lizhengfangzhu, they lit incense tables at various intersections to welcome the army into the city.

There was a ceremonial guide in front of him, followed by the Youzhou civil and military soldiers and brigade soldiers. Li Chengzhong held a seal and stood on the chariot, looking at his left and right, and sighed in his heart. He had been the governor of Yingzhou for more than a year, accepted the worship of Kings of Bohai and Silla, and became the prestige Khan at the foot of Raole Mountain, and presided over the Chai Ceritories of Greater Yu Yue and Yilijin. Today, Li Chengzhong has already had the majesty of the superior, and he no longer had the stunning spirit of the first time he arrived in Guidi.

The brigade of ceremonial guards entered through the Andongmen Wucheng, headed west along Qing'an Street, passed Xianlufang, Shihefang, Xianzhongfang, and stopped at the north gate of Lulong Jiedu Mansion.

Li Chengzhong got out of the car and looked up at the Lulong Jiedu Mansion where the Yimen Gate was wide open. He sighed for a long time.
Chapter completed!
