Chapter 675: Riverside (2)
"Okay, sit down, send someone to call Zhao Dalang over...... You don't have to joke, there is also a reason to say this, as the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, we eat well here, and we will be able to eat and drink well, so that everyone can rest assured. ”
"If I have big fish and big meat here, but there are people starving to death below, then there is something that cannot be said, don't you say?"
Wei Chikai was immediately shocked by His Royal Highness the King of Han's "cheekiness", you must know that His Royal Highness the King of Han's temperament has long been known to everyone.
When he was still in charge of Heng'an Town, he had kidnapped the cooks in the inner city of Yunyun into the house...... Later, he led the troops into Jinyang, and the house also raised a lot of Jinyang celebrity chefs, it is said that once the food is not to the taste, he will take the family or the ministers who meet him to be angry, which is a bit of a "mediocre" appearance.
It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Han himself is also a good cook, and he often cooks in person, but later his status has become more and more noble, and no one can have the blessing to share the craftsmanship of His Royal Highness the King of Han.
And what Li Po is saying now is actually the same as what later generations said, those who are officials will not be able to eat, let alone the people? It's the same thing, it seems reasonable, but in fact, a slightly smarter person can figure it out, which is a shameless quibble.
But in Wei Chikai's opinion, it is estimated that there is such a person in front of him who can say such a crooked reason, and Wei Chikai immediately said that he admired it very much, "Seeing the big with the small, the words of the king are deafening, and the general will think it is true." ”
Luo Shixin didn't want to think so much, so he said: "Brother, what you eat here is good...... But if you want to say that what I remember is that I went to Zhuo County with my brother and cooked food for those nobles, although we only used some leftovers, but I felt that there was nothing more delicious in the world. ”
This is the real person, and the boast is also on point.
Li Po often thinks about whether the people below are full or not, but whether he eats well or not has nothing to do with this, he only knows that other people can't eat enough, and his quality of life here will definitely decline.
Just like when he was in Yunnei, he snatched back so many cattle and sheep, but when he thought that he might be hungry next year, Li Po felt that it was not fragrant to eat.
Actually, no matter what, he's actually doing pretty well as the leader, so it's not a big problem for him to eat well.
Of course, His Royal Highness the King of Han has always had a lot of crooked reasoning, even if it sounds wrong, Wei Chikai will definitely not come to dismantle the stage, because even Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo and other well-read people are deeply affected by it, and sometimes they are dumbfounded by His Royal Highness the King of Han.
When Zhao Shixun arrived, the food was put on the table, and it looked very rough on the outside, but as long as he tasted it, he knew that it was very different from the things made by those rough and clumsy guys in the camp.
So a few big men buried their heads down, and after a while, everyone was half full.
His Royal Highness the King of Han straightened up at this time, drank a few sips of soup with satisfaction, and said: "If there are no other changes, I will set off to return to Jinyang in the near future, and Yuantong will be stationed on the shore, remember ......"
Wei Chikai raised his neck and swallowed a piece of mutton before staring at Li Po with wide eyes.
"First, take good care of the people who cross the river, carefully screen them, and don't make any trouble."
"Second, the other side is headed by Zhang Lun, you have to do your best to help, don't be angry because of trivial matters, if you miss a big thing because of this, I only ask you two."
Speaking of this, Li Po's tone became stern.
Wei Chikai has nothing to say, he is a person with a criminal record, when he was stationed in Longmen, he had some unpleasant trouble with Wei Chigong of Pusaka, who was stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River at this time, holding the grain and grass of the army on the south bank in his hands, so Li Po had to knock him twice to give him a wake-up.
As for whether Wei Chikai will blame Wei Chi for telling him about his troubles, Li Po doesn't care very much, and the relationship between the generals in the army is like this, in fact, it is still the old saying, if everyone is harmonious, what else do you want him to do as the king of Han?
"Third, your department should echo each other with Pusaka and Longmen, and if there is an accident, respond as appropriate, and do not neglect it...... Then there is the fact that the soldiers under your command have been fighting for a long time, and they should have returned to the army to rest before winter, but now that the defense has been changed to increase the troops, there is no way to do it. ”
"Well, your subordinates are all elites, so they should still be able to support it, right? If you are homesick and war-weary, tell me as soon as possible, or ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Chikai had already stood up, hammered his chest and said, "Don't worry, the king, the morale of the army is booming......
He doesn't want to be like his brother, what to defend Jinyang, this year's two wars, he was in front of the army, and his military exploits are no less than others, if he goes back like his second brother, after a long time, wouldn't he have the worry of leaving others behind?
Even if you don't consider these, those generals under his command, once they return to the army, everyone will definitely complain about him, the general, who failed to let everyone stay, and there will be fewer opportunities for meritorious service in the future.
It can be said that under the successive battles, the vigor of the Jin army's desire to fight is absolutely beyond people's imagination, no matter what the soldiers are, the generals don't want to go home anyway.
Li Po waved his hand, signaling Wei Chikai not to get excited, "You know best how the morale of the soldiers is, and how to appease the morale of the army is also your business, what I want to see is a strong army that can fight and win the battle, since you want to stay by the river, then don't relax this winter......"
"Also, Niu Jinda, Liu Anshi and the two are quite courageous, in the future, it will be under your control, and most of the troops will stay here, how to make them look like it, I will also leave it to you."
Wei Chi Kai was overjoyed, since the establishment of the Wei Mansion, the left and right Wei Mansions were the first to take shape, and for about two years or so, the generals of all departments had to listen to the dispatch of the left and right Wei Mansions, which made Wei Chi Gong and Bu Qun form an almost unshakable position in the army.
After that, the six Wei Mansions began to be formed together, and everyone's foundation was deep and shallow, but when the Ya Mansion was built, it actually started almost the same, and it has only been less than a year now.
And the various Wei Mansions, including the Left and Right Wei Mansions, are actually very simple, Wei Chi Kai belongs to the jurisdiction of the Right Tun Wei Mansion, and only lives under his brother Wei Chi Xin, the general of the Right Tun Guard, and serves as the General of the Right Tun Wei Lang, and then below are nine leading military captains, almost 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Except for the left and right guards, the other guards are almost the same, with a strength of between 10,000 and 15,000, and the cavalry guards have fewer troops, about 8,000.
The only two Weifu generals who could lead the cavalry army in battle before were the left guard general Wei Chi Gong and the right guard general Bu Qun, but now they have to roughly add a Zhang Lun.
Of course, as long as the Han King Li Po is in the army, everyone has to follow orders.
In the past two years, the armies of various departments have not received any military orders to expand the army, and the cavalry army of Jindi, plus the defenders everywhere, has been maintained at about 1340,000 people.
Some of them are still in Tuntian, but for today's Jindi, so many standing armies are still a big burden, which not only Li Po understands, but Wei Chikai and others actually understand.
Therefore, they not only hope that His Royal Highness the King of Han can let go of this restriction and make them more powerful, but also admire the forbearance of the King of Han.
And in today's world, the person who can control the number of troops quite freely and maintain sufficient combat power in each army is none other than Li Po, the king of Han.
Yes, most of the generals don't care about anything else, they just know that they have military power, they can speak loudly, and the more soldiers under them, the more authority they have.
In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why most generals in the army have been suspicious and wary since ancient times.
And now Wei Chikai sees the opportunity to expand the army, once the Henan army is under his command, then the strength of the Right Tun Guard Mansion will immediately increase greatly, as long as he can drill the Henan Army in this winter, then he will have to fight with the enemy again, how can others compete with the Right Tun Guard Mansion?
Look at this thought, in fact, you can understand what a terrible sight it will be once these arrogant soldiers are happy.
In fact, people like Li Po were scattered all the way and left many people behind, and the places he traveled all the way were also covered with bloody corpses...... This is the picture that the warlords have brought to the world.
In fact, the people who came out of the war, no one deserves to be praised, and the people who pacified the world were also the ones who started the war...... The only difference is that they managed to reach the top......
Wei Chikai was reassuring Li Po, and Luo Shixin and Zhao Shixun next to him looked at him enviously, which made Wei Chikai a little fluttering, he seemed to have seen the prospect of leaving his brother's egg wings and opening his own mansion.
Li Po looked at them and thought it was quite interesting, and at the same time, a feeling of mastering the overall situation and being at ease arose.
And in his plan, after Wei Chi Kai, he had to make some restraints on Zhang Lun, otherwise this person would lead people headlong into Luoyang under the desire for meritorious service...... Well, it's not very likely, but it's not guaranteed, the more talented the guy, the more daring he is, and he always wants to give you a prelude, just like Zhang Shigui......
A few guys on the other side of the river, one has more eyes than the other, but they can't worry more than Wei Chi.
At this time, the big people are thinking about big things, and the little people are doing small things.
After dinner, Shen Fan sneaked out of the tent with a thief head and brains, took advantage of the dark sky to show the skills he had cultivated in Luoyang City, and evaded the patrol post and came to the edge of another camp.
