Liu Mingge went to Jiangling to appease Cui Guangyuan, and he always felt awkward along the way, this was obviously what his eldest brother Liu Boxian did, and now not only can he not overthrow it, but he has to continue to follow the path set by Liu Boxian.

Fortunately, the two brothers look alike, and they both use the name of Liu Mingge, so the Cui family is not suspicious after this trip.

The main reason is that Liu Boxian killed a few people last time, and it also scared them, although Liu Mingge did not kill people at every turn today, but that majesty is not much different from Liu Boxian.

Cui Guangyuan dared to talk and laugh with Liu Mingge, at the banquet, Cui Guangyuan shook his head at Liu Mingge and smiled, "Prime Minister Liu is not the previous Prime Minister Liu, and the former Prime Minister Liu is not the original Prime Minister Liu."

Everyone else only said that Cui Guangyuan drank too much and was incoherent, only Liu Mingge understood the meaning of this and gave a toast in return

"Young Marshal Cui understands the righteousness, whether it is Prime Minister Liu Cheng in the past or Prime Minister Liu Cheng now, the promise to your Cui family will not change!"

Everyone applauded, but they didn't know the deep meaning, Cui Guangyuan poured a full cup for Liu Mingge, and added another cup to himself, "Cui Guangyuan thanked Prime Minister Liu on behalf of the Cui family!" ”

At this time, even if Cui Guangyuan is a concubine, no one questions whether he can represent the Cui family, and the person who questioned him before has been taken away by Liu Boxian on the spot.

What's more, if the current Cui family is not supported by Cui Guangyuan, most of them will be destroyed, and outside Xiangyang City in the north, the combined forces of Wei and Tuyuhun are already approaching.

Liu Jian's small court in Tanzhou is also preparing to go north, the situation has changed greatly, and what he has to do now is the Northern Expedition.

Along the way, there are countless exiled children and elders of the family who defected to the small court, all of which Liu Boxian secretly found.

When Liu Boxian was there, he had promised everywhere to restore the family, and he also asked Liu Jian to make an order.

Now, if this promise is reversed, the credibility of the imperial court will be lost.

The attraction of restoring the family is too tempting, and the down-and-out children of the family sell the jade clothes on their bodies, dig out the treasures of the ancestral house, and recruit the tribe to come and defect.

All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of banners such as Wang Xie Xiao, Lu Zhangwen, and there were almost 100,000 people from all walks of life.

The expenses of 100,000 people are currently unaffordable for Liu Jian, and the official positions of 500 people are also stretched thin by the small court.

Liu Jian summoned Liu Mingge, Li Xiaofei, Zhou Dapeng, Li Jianshang and others to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Mingge believed that these people should be sent north to support Xiangyang, at least to delay the attack of Tuyuhun and Wei.

Li Xiaofei felt that these people were a rabble, and it was useless to send them to the north, and it would be a disaster for them to stay in various states and counties, so it was better to dismantle them all and distribute them to various battalions of the Southern Navy to control.

The expenses of these 100,000 people were also unbearable in Nanhai, and Zhou Dapeng thought that these people should be left behind and distributed to various tuntians.

Li Jianshang waited for everyone to finish speaking, and said, "Divide the seal, and the princes of Zhongjian have less strength!" ”

Liu Jian and the other three all looked at him, and Liu Mingge waved his hand again and again, "It's no longer appropriate to divide the seal!" What's more, knighthoods should not be rewarded excessively! If there is a flood of titles, how will it end in the future? ”

Li Xiaofei also smiled, "I have been fighting for half my life, but I have not been able to be crowned, these people are new to defect, just an unreliable family identity, and they will be knighted, what does this make the soldiers who were born and die think?" ”

"Li Fu's words, Zhou someone figured it out, this is just the same set before Cui Ju's rebellion, draw a big pie to satisfy the hunger of the generals, and died before he could implement it!"

Liu Jian's eyes lit up, "Li Servant, you go on, everyone listen to Li Servant shoot his thoughts!" Maybe old medicine can cure new diseases! ”

Li Jianshang nodded, "Marshal Zhou is right, but only partially. The previous bread was not formed, but today's bread has rules and regulations. Whether it is the Wang family or the Xie family, they are all empty shells now, so it is better to divide some counties in the north, such as Xinye, Dengzhou, Nanyang and other places, to them. These places are currently close to my beam, it is not difficult to capture, and the main force of my beam can help the families to fight down as long as they are slightly helped! After they conquer these counties, they will work hard to defend them! In this way, my main army of Daliang will not have to divide troops to guard the cities! However, in order to prevent the Wang family, the Xie family, the Xiao family and other forces from doing a big tail, His Majesty can set up a new batch of families in the name of the imperial court, which is the first step for the princes of Zhongjian to be less powerful. In the future, after Daliang recovers the Central Plains and wields Yan Zhao, a paper push order can make these princes and marquis all collapse! ”

Liu Mingge, Li Xiaofei, and Zhou Dapeng all widened their eyes, the tepid Li Jianshang in his forties in front of him had already thought of something far away, and it seemed that Liu Boxian's ability to select people was really unusual.

Liu Jian also understood that Li Jianshang wanted Liu Jian to make these children of the family feudal fiefdoms and let them take the initiative to attack in the north, instead of staying all day to consume the grain and grass of the imperial court.

"Okay, it seems that Li Fushu is really a national warrior, this is a good idea! If Prime Minister Liu, Marshal Li, and Marshal Zhou have no opinions, the imperial court will make an order! ”

"The ministers have no opinion, Your Majesty is wise!"

Three days later, people from all walks of life drove north, and the leaders were all dressed in red and hung with a big "XX Hou" banner

"He'an Hou, I heard that your fiefdom is in Xinye! There are 2,000 Wei troops there, you have to be careful! ”

"Marquis Zhongyuan, your fief is in Xuchang, if I can't take Xinye, how can you go to Xuchang?"

"My fiefdom is in Xinyang, it is said that there are less than a thousand soldiers, and when the time comes, I will respond if I need my brother's help!"

"Jing'an Hou, don't squeeze us, it's not your surname Xiao, the current queen is the Xiao family, let you pick up the cheap"

"Do you see the team in the west, it is the prince of the Wang family, who is stupid to conquer Chang'an, and the court directly named him the prince of Chang'an!"

"Chang'an is occupied by Tuyuhun, this stupid boy is said to be in revenge for his grandfather, and he wants to take Chang'an!"

"A young man is a young man after all, I see him going, and I'm about to see his grandfather!"

"Don't laugh at people, if we are unfortunate enough to meet Wang Tiezhu of Wei, we will probably have to see our ancestors!"

Wang Fu looked resolute, and several old generals around him were also silent, and the team behind him began to mumble.

Wang Fu listened for a while, turned around and shouted, "It's too late to leave now, I know you all think I'm going to die!" But the court gave us the title, and we have to pay! If you don't fight a few tough battles, you will just be sent under the fence in the future! ”

Half of the team of 3,000 people walked, and the other teams in the distance were all pointing, and Wang Fumian waited quietly without changing his color.

"County Lord, there are more than 1,000 people left, should we no longer recruit some people?"

Wang Fu drew his sword and pointed to the northwest: "Enough!" Those who remain are not afraid of death! ”

"The courage of the county prince is commendable, but Chang'an City is guarded by nearly 30,000 Tuyuhun troops, and we don't even have a fraction of them!"

Wang Fu sneered: "I don't think the imperial court will sit idly by and watch us die!" I still say the same thing, those who are afraid can stay, and I don't force it! ”

Wang Fu's team left more than 1,000 people in an uproar, and the news soon spread to Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei still remembers breaking through with Murong Ling protecting Wang Xian's body in Chang'an City, and he has long wanted to meet his grandson Wang Fu.

This time, someone came to report that Wang Fu commanded the army without a party, and the army was scattered, so Li Xiaofei took Hua Xiaoan and chased after him.

Wang Fu's team hadn't gone far, and Li Xiaofei shouted behind him, "Prince Wang!" I'm your grandfather's friend Li Xiaofei! Wait, I have something to say! ”

Wang Fu stopped his horse and turned his head, "Lord Li, please call me Chang'an County Gong!" ”

"Okay, good, Chang'an Jungong, it looks like you are really your grandfather's grandson! Attaboy! ”

Li Xiaofei and Hua Xiaoan were close to each other, Hua Xiaoan suddenly reached out sideways and slapped Wang Fu's men, and several people were photographed off the horse one after another.

Everyone was shocked and drew their swords, but Wang Fu didn't panic, "Stop!" This is where Master Li came to try our skills! ”

Li Xiaofei shook his head, "Chang'an County Prince, young and promising, but the strong enemies of Chang'an City are indeed much more powerful than your subordinates, and the number of people is more than twenty times that of you!" ”

Wang Fu asked rhetorically, "Then since the imperial court knows that this is the case, why doesn't it send me reinforcements?" ”

"Chang'an County Prince, nothing in this world is taken for granted, not to mention that you saw the Son of Heaven in high spirits the day before yesterday, and you didn't say your predicament, how could the Son of Heaven know? I advise you to stop first, I will play the Son of Heaven and send you people and weapons, and the court will have people and horses to cooperate with you! ”

Wang Fu closed his eyes, "Master Li is here to be my teacher and teach me how to do things!" ”

"Li Mou is not talented, where can he dare to teach the county prince of Chang'an, but he can't bear to take these passionate and loyal people to death! In the future, the county will surely achieve great things and surpass the ancestors! ”

Wang Fu opened his eyes, leaned his body over, and said in his ear, "I heard that my grandfather has never won a battle, is it true?" ”

"Your grandfather, Lord Wang Xian, fought all out of disadvantage, either the enemy army was several times larger than him, or he was trapped in a lonely city, it is already rare for Lord Wang Xian to be able to fight like that!"

"I see, I don't look like I'm going to be much better than my grandfather! I've been reading war books and tactics for more than ten years, and most of them seem useless! What is really useful is what some subordinates do, feeding horses, processing feces and urine, finding herbal decoctions to cure diseases, finding wild vegetables, hunting, cooking, and so on! There are no books to teach these things! ”

Li Xiaofei pointed to the people around Wang Fu: "The most difficult thing is how to save the lives of these people!" They are all human beings, not the ten hundred million in the book of war, they are grandchildren, sons, husbands and fathers, I have led soldiers for more than ten years, and tens of thousands of lives have been sent away from me! ”

Wang Fu took out a copy of "Wei Yuzi" from his arms and threw it into the grass, "I have also thought about it for a long time and haven't figured out one thing, those people in Tuyuhun and Mobei are illiterate and unable to read, but they can also win the battle!" It can be seen that this book of war is actually a useless thing! ”

Li Xiaofei got off the horse and picked up the book of soldiers, "The book of the sages is still useful, but some things are not said directly, it is more about how to arrange the troops, how to reward and punish clearly, and the book still can't be lost casually." Illiterate people are not stupid, maybe smarter than us, and their hunting is to fight, and people who fight almost every day are naturally better than us! ”
