In the evening, Yuanhe held a banquet to entertain Li Xun.

Sima Zhen is old, and during this period of time he has been working on the training of recruits, but he has hurt his body a little, but after two days of cultivation in the city, his complexion is also much better, after all, he has led the army for many years, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has exercised regularly, and his body is still very tough.

There were not many people in the evening, just Li Xun, Yuan He and Sima Zhen, Li Xun called Li Cunxiao and some other officers from the new barracks to come over, but until now, no one has come, and it should not come.

Sure enough, the soldiers came to report that Li Cunxiao had just given an order three days ago, and in the past half a month, the training of the soldiers in the whole battalion would be further strengthened, and during this period, no one was allowed to ask for leave, Li Cunxiao was the person in charge of training, and the order was given by himself, so he should take the lead in implementing it.

When Li Xun heard this, he exclaimed: "With Li Cunxiao, why worry about strengthening the army, I don't have to worry about it!" ”

Sima Zhen also nodded with a smile, and said quite praisedly: "Li Cunxiao does have a set of training troops, and he is better than the old man. ”

Li Xun looked at him and chuckled: "In that case, the old general should go back to Wuzhou with me, you are always in the governor's mansion, and there are still many things waiting for you to deal with, and it is not a matter to stay here all the time." ”

Sima Zhen thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll go back to Wuzhou with you this time, with Li Cunxiao here, I have nothing to worry about." ”

"With you always here, we are all governors, and we will have the backbone."

Sima Zhen scolded with a smile: "You kid, don't pour ** soup into the old man, you are the governor of Wuzhou, the backbone is in you, not me, I just gave you a hand." ”

Li Xun smiled and said: "With the old man, you give me a hand, and I Li Xun is under a lot of pressure!" ”

"There is pressure to be motivated, you kid do it well, I will keep an eye on you."

Sima Zhen said with a laugh.

"You've been here for a day, and the kid will never dare to be presumptuous."

Li Xun complimented, Sima Zhen is a very good person, his failure is because his political quality is too low, but such a person is often very cute, without too much selfishness, when Sima Zhen first came, Li Xun was actually just pretending, and he was still very wary of him, after all, there was such an old qualification to do things under his hands, and there would be some strange emotions in his heart, but after a period of getting along, familiar with Sima Zhen's personality and character, Li Xun really liked him, and many things in the governor's mansion, It's all about letting him and Fan Zhongyun deal with it.

"Governor, since there is no one else, let's start, the heat of wine and food waits for no one."

Yuanhe pointed to the wine and food on the table and said with a smile.

Li Xun nodded with a smile, raised his wine glass, and drank with everyone.

On the right side of Longyou, there is a peaceful and quiet, and in the Central Plains, a new round of waves is being announced again.

Zhao Zhi continued to increase the number of troops in Hedongdao, so that its troops exceeded 100,000, such a scale of troop deployment, is unprecedented, since Wuzong, Zhao Zhi's previous three generations of emperors, in order to ease and stabilize Hebei, Hedongdao, has never had so many heavy troops, and there is still a prince personally in charge.

The aggressiveness of the imperial court finally caused a backlash from the five major feudal towns in Hebei, this backlash may not be very strong, but he represents a signal, the imperial court is now strong, we are soft, and we are willing to pay the price, but there must be a degree, you Zhao Zhi can't do things too much, after that, it will be a dead fish and the net will be broken.

Following Zhang Jinghui, the envoy of Zhaozhou Festival, the remaining four major festival envoys who did not take any measures before have an attitude, and it is a common attitude.

There are two kinds of attitudes, the strong side and the soft side.

When the imperial court was weak, they had many infighting for territory, wealth and so on, and now that the imperial court is strong, they have stopped infighting and moved towards unity.

Weizhou Jiedu made Li Conggu, Hengzhou Jiedu made Chen celebrate, the territory of the two connected Hedong and Henan, the two most important towns, Weizhou in the southeast, and Xiangzhou in the west, Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne at the beginning, the strength of these two important towns, at the beginning were 30,000, but with Zhao Zhi's hard work, the imperial court slowly recovered, the national situation began to rise, the strength of Wei and Xiangzhou, step by step, and finally remained at about 10,000, it can be seen that the five major feudal towns in Hebei have a sense of awe for the imperial court, is getting stronger and stronger, But this does not mean that they are afraid of the imperial court.

The five major feudal towns gathered in Zhaozhou, and what they discussed, outsiders don't know, but from their next actions, they can also guess one or two, they have reached a certain consensus.

The strength of Wei and Xiangzhou has increased from 10,000 to 20,000, which is not much, but this is an attitude, and behind Li Conggu and Chen Qingqing, Zhang Jinghui and Tian Zhang, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, are to reduce the border defense forces of Li Conggu and Chen Qingqing's territory on a large scale, or even withdraw completely, this is also an attitude, we are no longer suspicious of each other, if the imperial court really fights, you don't need to worry about us from behind, you can deal with it with all your might, and we in the rear will also give troops. Full support in terms of financial resources and so on.

On the other hand, the envoys of the five major festivals of Hebei Province jointly submitted a letter to request the removal of their own county titles, and handed over the roster of officials at all levels in 25 prefectures and 79 counties in Hebei to the imperial court, expressing their resignation, and in the future, the appointment and dismissal of officials in Hebei Province will be handed over to the imperial court for unified scheduling, and they will only manage the army, no longer interfere in local government affairs, and pay a one-time tribute of 3 million taels of silver and countless kinds of property to the imperial court.

The actions of the five major feudal towns in Hebei immediately caused a shock in the world, and countless people talked about it.

The military strength of the Pingzong period is actually much stronger than the current Zhao Zhi era, the Pingzong Dynasty, the central forbidden army is as many as 400,000, and now in the hands of Zhao Zhi, it is less than 200,000, plus the strength of Hedong Province, it is only a little more than 300,000, which is weaker than the Pingzong era.

However, there are some things that cannot be considered only in terms of quantity, which are too simple and too narrow, but should be considered and considered from the whole environment.

In the Pingzong Dynasty, the Central Forbidden Army had a large number of troops, but he had no soldiers and no generals, and there were no outstanding military generals under him, and there were many parties and disputes in the court, and the internal political environment of the court was very unstable.

Now, with the collapse of Liu Zhishi, the party of the left minister, and the reorganization of the political hall, it has been calm for so many years, and there have been cracks in the political environment within the court, but as long as Yang Daosi does not retire from the position of the right minister for a day, Zhao Zhi still maintains restraint, and this crack will be held down by a force, and the entire court will not have major changes, and it will still remain relatively stable.

Externally, with the rebellion of the White Turban Army, the Battle of Jiangnan, the Battle of Longyou and a series of wars, the great brilliant results achieved, the morale of the army is high, the prosperity of the soldiers, the world's major festivals, all fearful, Li Zhong, Yu Wenzhen, Huang, Ma Wu and others, are all military generals who can fight well and have great talents.
