Li Zhong's arrangement and planning in the war, very fast and efficient, the first night back, decided the matter, late that night, Li Zhong was to order 10,000 soldiers and horses, with Yan Yi as the general of the expedition to the east, Zhou Qian, Zou Meng as the deputy general, led 10,000 troops, rushed to Jinyang in advance, and strengthened the defense of Jinyang.

"Li Xiangguo, I have already done everything you arranged, and within three days, I can send it to Jinyang."

Kou Xiong placed the list of weapons on Li Xun's desk.

Li Xun raised his head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Kou Shilang is a servant." ”

Kou Xiong waved his hand: "This is my business, Lord Xiangguo is polite." ”

Kou Xiong's attitude towards Li Xun is very polite, compared with some time ago, there has been a big change, at least on the surface, the two look very harmonious.

There is no deep hatred between Li Xun and Kou Xiong, as for Ge Qingfeng, it is a matter between him and Li Xun, and there is no direct relationship with Kou Xiong, so during this time, Li Xun intends to alleviate the contradiction between him and Kou Xiong, and the effect is not bad, Kou Xiong is not the kind of unreasonable person, Li Xun took the initiative to lower his attitude, and if he raised his eyebrows coldly there, it would seem that he was a little childish.

Of course, there is one more point.

Kou Xiong just heard from others that just this morning, Yan Yi had led 10,000 troops to rush to Jinyang, and the imperial court would send about 20,000 forbidden troops to enter the Hedong battlefield in the future.

Hearing the news, Kou Xiong was very happy, and he was also quite grateful to Li Xun in his heart.

Kou Xiong, although he was born in a family, but since he was a child, he likes to dance knives and guns, and does not like to read, when he grows up, he has come all the way, and he is also in the army, leading the army to fight, charging and killing the enemy, that is his strength, and it is also his favorite.

But there is no way, this is the arrangement between the family and the emperor, even if Kou Xiong doesn't like it, he can only follow orders.

Now, Li Xun recommended himself to lead the troops to fight, Zhao Xun agreed with this candidate's suggestion, Kou Xiong was very happy and excited, this is what he likes to do, as for the position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of War, Kou Xiong really doesn't value it very much.

In some ways, Kou Xiong is actually quite simple.

Li Xun looked at the list, there was no problem, and then called He Tao and handed the list to him: "According to the name on the list, count the weapons and equipment needed for the war as soon as possible, and someone may come to accept this batch of materials tomorrow, you have to step up the handling." ”

"Yes, Lord Xiangguo, the next official will do it."

He Tao took the list and turned to leave.

Li Xun looked at Kou Xiong and chuckled: "Kou Shilang, the imperial court may appoint you as the commander of the follow-up army, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Kou Xiong arched his hand and said: "I have heard about this matter, thank you for the recommendation." ”

Li Xun waved his hand and said with a smile: "We all know your talent, now that I have this opportunity, as the prime minister, it is my duty to serve the country, you don't have to thank me." ”

Kou Xiong nodded, and then stopped talking a little, as if he had something to say, he wanted to say it but was embarrassed to say it.

Li Xun asked softly: "You and I belong to the same yamen, there are no outsiders here now, if you have anything to say, Kou Shilang might as well speak up." ”

Kou Xiong touched his head and said with a little blush: "Because of the recommendation of Lord Xiangguo, although the emperor agrees with me as the commander of the follow-up army, but the decision on the responsibility for counterinsurgency this time is still with Lord Zuo Xiang, I have no friendship with Lord Zuo Xiang, if I go to him at this time..."

Li Xun glanced at Kou Xiong and immediately understood what he meant.

After a period of contact, Li Xun has a very good understanding of Kou Xiong, like most generals, Kou Xiong's temperament is also very straightforward, love and hate, the reason why he was a little entangled with himself some time ago is that there is some misunderstanding between the two, but also someone secretly deliberately provoked, in fact, until now, Li Xun still has some likes for Kou Xiong, such a character, this expedition to Hedong, crusade against Cheng Xihei, Li Xun recommended Kou Xiong, is also because of Kou Xiong, as a general, only in terms of military talent, extraordinary indeed.

For this expedition to Hedong, Kou Xiong was very enthusiastic about this, obviously with real thoughts, but the final decision on the appointment of the main general, Zhao Xun gave full authority to Li Zhong, the left minister, without Li Zhong's consent, even if Zhao Xun intended Kou Xiong to take this position, I am afraid it will not be decided.

Li Xun nodded and said that he was willing to go to Li Zhong to talk about it.

At noon, Li Xun left the military department and immediately went to visit Li Zhong's mansion.

"Uncle Li, the 20,000 forbidden army will leave for Hedong the day after tomorrow at the latest, what are the considerations for the selection of the main general?"

Li Xun saw Li Zhong and said straight to the point.

Li Zhong said: "You recommended Kou Xiong in the morning, and the emperor seems to be quite appreciative of this. ”

Li Xun nodded and said, "The emperor really values Kou Xiong's talent and intends to let him lead the army. ”

Li Zhong was silent, and after a while, he said: "Kou Xiong has been in the army for more than ten years, and has been at war with Dali, Annan and other countries for many years. ”

But.

Li Zhong looked at Li Xun and said: "Many armies are now gathered in Jinyang, which requires a general to lead the overall situation, and the 20,000 army generals sent to Hedong in the future will be the commander-in-chief of this counterinsurgency war, with great responsibility, Kou Xiong may have this ability, but his qualifications are still a little shallow and he can't convince the public." ”

Li Xun asked, "Uncle Li, who is the candidate in your heart?" ”

In fact, I came to Li Zhong today, not because of Kou Xiong's request, but because of Zhao Xun, after the morning meeting, Zhao Xun said to Li Xun in private, you are in charge of the military department, this expedition to quell the rebellion is not a trivial matter, you must consult Li Zhong more, this is to let Li Xun go to explore Li Zhong's tone, this meaning, Li Xun still heard it.

After Zhao Xun ascended the throne, he vigorously rectified the forbidden army system, and tens of thousands of people were cleared out, which led to the peak of the three armies of the forbidden army, nearly 170,000 troops, and after several tosses, it was less than 90,000, and nearly half of the troops were reduced.

This time to send troops to Hedong, there will be more than 30,000 forbidden troops involved in it, which is already a very important ratio for the troops currently in Zhao Xun's hands, and he naturally hopes that the leading general is a person he can trust.
