Chapter 10: The War in the North
Wei Chaodong is here, even if Li Jun's first small team is formed, although there are very few people in this team, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sima Da and Wei Chaodong's future is absolutely ambitious, once the emperor really controls the government, then these two are likely to become the future Wei Wuji and Xiao Wangzhi.
On this day, the three of them had nothing to do, Li Jun asked He Shen to take out the map of the northern border, Li Jun was speechless about the simplicity of the map in front of him, and Li Jun couldn't understand this kind of simple map, so the work of explaining the map fell on Wei Chaodong.
Wei Chaodong pointed to Ganzhou City and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is Ganzhou City, as long as we control Ganzhou City, the Northern Liao people will not dare to go south, and there are three military villages outside Ganzhou City, these three military villages are called Yuyang Village, Gaowu Village and Qinzhou Village, and the three villages and Ganzhou City are ...... in the shape of horns."
"Wait, General Wei, what if the Northern Liao people bypass Ganzhou City and go straight to the four counties of Liangzhou?" Sima Da asked.
Wei Chaodong replied with a smile: "The combat effectiveness of the Northern Liao Army has declined greatly in recent years, and there are many defeats and few wins, at this time they dare not bypass Ganzhou City and go south, if they dare to bypass Ganzhou City, they will be attacked by the Ganzhou Army and the defenders of the four counties of Liangzhou on both sides, and they will not be able to get out of Ganzhou by horseback at that time." ”
"Oh, then according to what my cousin said, the people of Northern Liao are not afraid." Li Jun asked.
"Your Majesty, it is General Lou Chong who is stationed in Ganzhou now, and Lou Chong is good at defending but not good at attacking, so it is basically impossible for the Northern Liao people to break through Ganzhou City." Wei Chaodong immediately replied.
"Then I remember that when Emperor Jingtai was in power, the Northern Liao was held several times, and the capital was shocked three times a day, why was it only more than ten years? The national strength of the Northern Liao people has dropped so much? Li Jun continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, since Buddhism spread to Northern Liao, the dignitaries and nobles of the Northern Liao people have been worshipping Buddha all day long, and they have love at the top, and they will be effective at the bottom, so the Northern Liao people have been going downhill in recent years."
Li Jun secretly wrote down this information in his heart, not to mention that in Northern Liao, sometimes Buddhism in the Central Plains also affects the national strength, and in Chinese history, there has been a lesson of the three martial arts to destroy the Buddha.
"What about Beijin?" Li Jun continued to ask.
Wei Chaodong clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this Weichen doesn't know very well, but with General Gao Zhe's skills, he only fought a tie with the Beijin Army, which shows that the Beijin Army is stronger, and their regent is also a hero." ”
When Li Jun heard this, he sighed helplessly, at this time Li Jun discovered the helplessness of the lack of intelligence, not to mention Wei Chaodong, as far as Li Jun knew, now the entire court felt that Beijin was a problem of fur, and there was nothing to worry about, but Li Jun knew that for these Jurchen tribes in the northeast, they should not be underestimated, and the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty were living examples.
Of course, this is all a matter of the future, and at present, Li Jun feels that his top priority is to establish an intelligence agency and subordinate to his own intelligence agency, so Li Jun asked: "He Shen, do you know who is the most famous ranger in Guanzhong now?" ”
"Your Majesty, this old slave still needs to investigate." He Shen said guiltily.
"Your Majesty, this minister knows that now the most famous ranger leader in our Guanguan is Ji Meng, this person is the sixth grandson of the founding general Ji Lu, when Emperor Jingtai was in power, his father was stripped of his title because of the rebellion of the Six Kings, and the family was in the middle of the road, and this person was in the rivers and lakes, because of his outstanding swordsmanship and benevolence, he became the leader of the Guanzhong rangers...... "Sima Da introduced proudly.
Li Jun glared at Sima Da, sure enough, historians like rangers, Li Jun knew that Sima Da had a wide range of paths, otherwise he would not have scolded the first emperor, and he could still be dashing in prison for several months, and finally boiled the first emperor to death.
Seeing Li Jun's unhappy expression, Sima Da stopped talking, and Li Jun said with a straight face: "Okay, don't show off, find Ji Meng, I want to see him." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, how can you see such a market person?" Wei Chaodong said with a frown on the side.
"What's wrong, every time you slaughter more dogs, heroes don't ask where they come from, Liu Bang, who wanted to compete with Chu Gaozong Xiang Yu for the world, was just a pavilion chief, and in the end, if it wasn't for Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, who turned against him, maybe he would still be surnamed Liu in the world now?" Sima Da immediately retorted.
Li Jun stopped the quarrel between the two in time, and said to Wei Chaodong: "Cousin, little people have the usage of small people, and after Ji Meng was born as a nobleman, I have no one in my hands now, and the first emperor has left such a mess, and I am helpless." ”
"Your Majesty, but the minister knows a lot of children from the family, and they are also very talented......
Li Jun's face was a little unsightly, interrupted Wei Chaodong's words, and said coldly: "Cousin, I will prepare three thousand teenagers in a while, and military training is what you should do, and you don't care about the rest." ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, and your ministers know your sins." Wei Chaodong said with fright, sweating profusely.
At this time, Xiao Wangzhi happened to come over, Li Jun asked He Shen to help Wei Chaodong up, sorted out his facial expression, and asked with a smile: "Teacher, how is the investigation of what I want you to investigate?" ”
Xiao Wangzhi handed a list to Li Jun and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has already found out, a total of nine people have been wronged, among which Pang Jixian, Li Lin, and Zhang Zhi are young and strong, quite talented, and can be of great use, and the remaining six are old and frail, and they have been in prison for so long, the old minister suggests that these six people should return to their hometowns." ”
"Okay, this matter will be arranged by the court meeting tomorrow, teacher, please rest assured."
Xiao Wangzhi was taken aback when he heard this, seeing what the little emperor meant, he still had to discuss this kind of thing at the court meeting, although these nine people were all wronged by the first emperor, but the first emperor was the emperor after all, and the son did not mention his father, if the little emperor raised it at the court meeting tomorrow, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the first emperor.
So Xiao Wangzhi persuaded: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is better to deal with this kind of matter in private, after all, he has to take into account the face of the first emperor." ”
Li Jun sighed and said, "Teacher, what do you think is the most important thing in this world?" ”
"Your Majesty, of course." Xiao Wangzhi replied without thinking.
"Wrong, teacher, I feel that justice in this world is the most important, without justice, all the people in the world will not believe in the court, and I will lose the hearts of the people, the first emperor did wrong, as the son of the first emperor, I naturally have to bear the bitter consequences for him, I am not afraid that the first emperor will blame me, I am afraid that all the people in the world will blame me."
"Your Majesty." Sima Da was the first to kneel on the ground and said, Li Jun's words really spoke to Sima Da's heart, Sima Da is a person who would rather bend than bend, justice is in the hearts of the people, this sentence Sima Da has a deep understanding.
"The old minister obeys." Xiao Wangzhi on the side also said convincingly.
