228 Empress Dowager Xiao's countermeasures
After Empress Dowager Xiao listened to her son Xiao Xuan's story, she deepened her worries about Han Jiangxue's growing power. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Empress Dowager Xiao knew that Han Jiangxue had no emperor in the past, but now Han Jiangxue doesn't respect herself very much. This made Empress Dowager Xiao feel that it would be more and more difficult for her to control the cold river and snow in the future, what should I do?
Empress Dowager Xiao thought about how to deal with Han Jiangxue quietly? Of course, Empress Dowager Xiao knew that the most terrifying thing about Han Jiangxue was that she had an army loyal to her. If you want to deal with Han Jiangxue, you must re-cultivate your own army, otherwise you will have no capital to control the entire Liao State; As for Han Jiangxue's cronies, the army was sent to the battlefield to be consumed. In this way, the hidden dangers caused by the cold river and snow may be solved.
Of course, Empress Dowager Xiao understood that now Han Jiangxue had just returned from victory, and immediately sent her to lead the Flying Eagle Army out to conquer the Western Liang Kingdom, but the time was not ripe, the army of the First Liao State was not fully prepared, and the reason was not sufficient, so the Empress Dowager Xiao decided to think in the long run.
"Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find", if you want to deal with Hanjiangxue, Empress Dowager Xiao must have a large number of talents. Of course, for Empress Dowager Xiao, her main goal is not just to deal with Han Jiangxue, but also to completely control the Liao State and further conquer the world, so Empress Dowager Xiao's desire for talents is very strong.
According to Empress Dowager Xiao's thoughts, the ability of her own talents does not need to be as strong as Han Jiangxue, and it is not easy for her to control it at that time, which will often cause hidden dangers that cannot be lost, so it is best to be slightly weaker than Han Jiangxue, but to be able to be very loyal to yourself.
In fact, this kind of talent is similar to Empress Dowager Xiao's cronies Xianglan and Meishuang; Of course, Han Jiangxue's generals Nighthawk and Mu Rong Yijian are also the targets of Empress Dowager Xiao. The problem is that Mu Rong is an arrow, Nighthawk, and Sky Eagle, these people have been raised by Han Jiangxue since they were children and cultivated to become talents, it is impossible for them to betray Han Jiangxue to join Empress Dowager Xiao; Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiao can only find another way to find suitable talents.
In order not to startle the snake, even in front of her own son, Empress Dowager Xiao would not say bad things about Han Jiangxue, she was worried that the little emperor Xiao Xuan would accidentally leak her dissatisfaction with Han Jiangxue, which would cause very serious consequences, so the Empress Dowager Xiao just comforted the little emperor and asked him to care more about other concubines, and don't bother Queen Han if he has nothing to do.
The little emperor reluctantly agreed; In addition, Empress Dowager Xiao also exaggerated the great achievements brought by Hanjiangxue to the Great Liao Kingdom, saying that Hanjiangxue would be canonized. This made the little emperor Xiao Xuan unable to guess his mother's thoughts, so he didn't dare to complain anymore.
However, when the little emperor Xiao Xuan was about to say goodbye and leave, the Empress Dowager Xiao reminded him that he had to speed up the progress of training new soldiers now, and select some excellent generals to train these new soldiers to prepare for the pacification of Chu in the future. In addition, the little emperor Xiao Xuan was asked to report the plan for training recruits to himself for review as soon as possible, and the little emperor Xiao Xuan withdrew after agreeing.
After the little emperor Xiao Yu came out of his mother Empress Dowager Xiao sullenly, he went to visit his sister Princess Xiao Lin by the way.
Seeing Princess Xiao Lin, the little emperor Xiao Yu saw that there was no one around, so he told his sister about his grievances of being the emperor. In addition, he said to his sister Xiao Lin: "The queen mother wants to train recruits now, but she lacks excellent generals in her hands, and those excellent generals are unwilling to listen to their own dispatches, and they are not at ease, so I asked my sister Xiao Lin if there is a suitable talent"?
Princess Xiao Lin, of course, also knows the actual situation of Liao now, she can't help but think of the man she likes, Xiang Shuifeng, this Xiang Shuifeng is a rare talent, and he also has a life-saving grace for himself, now the emperor's younger brother lacks loyal talents, why don't he recommend Xiang Shuifeng to him!
So Princess Xiao Lin recommended her favorite man Xiang Shuifeng to the little emperor Xiao Sui. For Xiang Shuifeng's talent, the little emperor has heard of it and knows a little. In the past, Mei Shuang also wanted to be recommended by the little emperor, and now her sister Princess Xiao Lin mentioned him again.
The little emperor decided to reuse Xiang Shuifeng, and besides, he heard Mei Shuang introduce that this Xiang Shuifeng trained soldiers very well, and now the little emperor is between people, so he promised his sister Princess Xiao Lin to transfer Xiang Shuifeng from Fengting City to Liaodu, and let Xiang Shuifeng train Liao's recruits near Liaodu.
Princess Xiao Lin was very happy to hear this, she thought that this time, Xiang Shuifeng, the man she liked, could be transferred to her side, and now the little emperor didn't want to train recruits? You can also take the opportunity to train your own army. At the beginning, Hanjiangxue developed step by step. So Princess Xiao Lin took the opportunity to ask the little emperor for her own recruitment quota.
The little emperor thought about it, this is not bad, after all, Princess Xiao Lin is his sister, he doesn't believe her, who can he trust!
The little emperor Xiao Sui returned to his palace, and he sent E Shuoguo to invite his grandfather, General E, to say that there was something important to discuss.
The little emperor knew that the old general had a good plan for managing the army, so he wanted to ask the old general how to train the recruits? How to develop a recruit training plan and how to select the right generals to be instructors.
The old general of Hubei, who had been retiring for the elderly, was so excited that he burst into tears after receiving the holy decree of the little emperor, feeling that he was a dying person and had a chance to show his talents.
The so-called "the one who is a confidant dies", so the old general followed his grandson E Shuoguo to see the little emperor and hurriedly knelt down. The little emperor hurriedly helped him up and personally moved a chair for him, which made the old general feel that he was smeared with the little emperor, and he did not hesitate to do so.
The little emperor asked the old general to sit down and sent his grandson E Shuoguo to serve tea to the two of them. Then the little emperor began to ask the old general for advice.
Of course, the little emperor said very tactfully: "Old General E, I invited you here tonight, I have important matters to discuss, and I hope the old general can give advice." The old general hurriedly asked the little emperor, "What is the matter with us?"
The little emperor said: "I led a large army to conquer the Chu State last time, and I have already captured the capital of the Chu State, and seeing that it is a great success, who knows that the Xiliang Kingdom suddenly sent troops, disrupting my overall layout, causing my strategy to fall short?" Saying that, the little emperor hurriedly sighed.
Of course, the old general had heard about the outcome of that war, so he said that it was a pity, so he asked the little emperor what he planned to do now? The little emperor said: "The last time I lost the success that was almost in hand, it was mainly caused by the sudden dispatch of troops from the Xiliang Kingdom, so I decided to conquer the Xiliang Kingdom first before the next expedition to the Chu State."
The old general nodded in agreement with the little emperor's analysis, and the little emperor continued: "With the current strength of the Liao State, it is not possible to use troops against the Chu State and the Western Liang State at the same time, so the first task of the Liao State now is to train new soldiers, as long as the Liao State has enough troops, it can use troops against the Chu State and the Western Liang State at the same time, but it is not easy to train new soldiers, so I asked the old General Hu for advice."
As soon as the little emperor said this, the old general understood the little emperor's intention of inviting him, that is, to ask himself how to train new soldiers. General Hu Lao used to lead troops to fight for many years, and he also trained recruits for the first emperor at the earliest, so he still has experience in training recruits. Now the little emperor sincerely asked for advice, and the old general did not hide it, and decided to tell the little emperor what he knew. (To be continued.) )
