Li Hao, Li De, and Li Rui are all from the secret camp, and now Li Hao is in Qin Zhao's left Xiaowei as a Zhonglang general, Li Rui is in Liu Chenglin's right Xiaowei as a Zhonglang general, and Li De is in the right Wuwei as a Zhonglang general, all of them have grown into famous real power generals in the army, if you add the Modao team led by Li Han alone, Li Mi is a Shaoqing in the Weiwei Temple and also serves as a Zhonglang general of Zuo Qianwei, and Li Dare is a Lang general in the right Qianwei, a total of six Li Zeyan from the secret camp hold great power in the army. And these people are also Li Ze's most powerful candidates to control the army.

This time Li De got married, these people were finally able to get together, after Li De got married, Li Yu, Li Han and others hurriedly returned, and Li Hao and Li Rui were left behind.

When they returned to Wuyi, they naturally not only wanted to attend Li De's wedding, but also to report to Li Ze about the current situation of the two armies by the way.

Zuo Xiaowei is now stationed in Dizhou, facing Hou Xiyi, the Pinglu Jiedu envoy who has taken refuge in Zhu Wen's pseudo-Liang. Right Xiaowei was stationed in Mozhou, but he faced Deng Jingshan, the general of Zhang Zhongwu's Lu Long Army.

Li Ze looked at these few people, as if looking at his own children, although in terms of age, Li Hao, Li De, and Li Rui are only big and not small compared to him, but these people are Li Ze who slowly cultivated them from a beggar little by little to this point, from a small person in the mud to a general who stomps his feet and the world trembles, that kind of sense of accomplishment naturally makes Li Ze very proud.

These people are his basic plate.

Their fate is tightly tied to themselves, sharing their fate with themselves and breathing together. One is prosperous, and one is lost.

"Li Rui let's talk first!" Li Ze looked at the subordinates who were sitting up straight and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes!" Li Rui stood up with a swish, his eyes swept over everyone, especially on Li Hao's face for a long time. When he was in the secret camp, Li Hao and Li Mi were the leaders of these people, and at that time, he was just a small soldier in the Heart Moon Fox team, ranking twelfth. In order to get ahead, he took risks and was beaten, but all the efforts were worth it now, although he almost lost his life several times, but in exchange for sitting in the lobby with Li Hao today.

Li Rui feels that his future will inevitably be more ambitious than Li Hao.

Since the end of November, when Zhang Zhongwu concentrated 100,000 slave troops into Pingzhou, the atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides has become increasingly tense. These slave armies built walls, forts, and settlements on the border between Mozhou and Pingzhou, and began to reclaim a large amount of land in preparation for the next year's spring ploughing. Li Rui said: "The other party's idea is to gradually infiltrate Mozhou. In less than two months, these slave armies have invaded Mozambique on a large scale many times, with the main purpose of looting. Zhang Zhongwu did not pay these people. If they want to survive, they have to rob, in fact, according to our intelligence, these people not only robbed us, but also robbed their own people in Pingzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Li Rui couldn't help laughing, "The powerful families in Pingzhou have also clashed with these people many times. ”

"What's the composition of these slave armies?" Li Ze frowned. "We have such good conditions in Mozhou, Yingzhou and other places to attract the inflow of population, there is no way that these slave troops will be rebelled?"

Li Rui shook his head and said, "Childe, the possibility of these slave troops being rebelled by us is extremely small. The composition of the slave army is more complicated, most of the slave army leaders are some local gentry and even bandit leaders in the northeast, they are originally bloodsuckers lying on the slaves to suck blood, under the pressure of Zhang Zhongwu's army, they have to take their men to move to the direction of Pingzhou, for the control of their subordinates, is quite tight. Not only is the family members of these slaves detained, but there are also extremely cruel laws of connection and whistleblowing. If one person escapes, the whole family will die, and even the neighbors will be implicated. ”

"Mozhou Li Anguo assassin history, once organized a group of slave capture teams to fight against these small-scale invasions, but the slave capture team suffered a lot of losses, although these slave troops were poorly equipped, but when they fought, they fought extremely hard, because they knew very well that once they died or were captured, their families would be doomed. Even if they were caught, they would try to escape as they could. ”

Li Ze couldn't help but shake his head.

"When these people arrived at the border, they built forts, docked cities, drove slave troops to reclaim the fields, invaded Mozhou in droves and looted, and their actions were aimless and irregular, which caused great difficulties for us. Right Xiaowei only has 30,000 soldiers and horses in Mozhou, and his main energy is still spent on the main force staring at Deng Jingshan. Unless an all-out attack is launched to uproot the cantonments of these slave armies. Li Rui said.

"If these cantonment points are removed, will the strength of the right guard be enough?" Li Ze asked.

"If you want to completely uproot it, the strength of the right Xiaowei is obviously not enough." Li Rui said: "Deng Jingshan takes the city as the pearl, and these cantonment points as the line, and the beads and lines are connected, forming a defensive whole, and the whole body is launched. If we want to uproot these cantonment points, we must take Deng Jingshan's main force into account. Right Xiaowei has made a plan, and at least one guard is needed to be able to play well. ”

Li Ze pondered for a moment and said: "After you go back, tell Liu Chenglin that I will give him a guard's troops, Xue Chong's Zuojin Wuwei stationed in Zhuozhou will arrive in a month, and Liu Chenglin has a month to sweep away these scum on the border." ”

"Understood." Li Rui said excitedly. The soldiers and horses of the two guards joined the battle, and it was a big battle.

"The strategic purpose of this war is to uproot the cantonment points of these slave troops." Li Ze continued: "Tell Liu Chenglin that this battle is not aimed at occupying how many cities in Pingzhou, nor is it aimed at eliminating how many troops in Deng Jingshan, what I want is just to clean up those cantonment points." These cantonments must not be allowed to become climate above the border. ”

Although he was a little surprised, Li Rui still nodded yes.

"When you go back, you have to take someone with you." Li Ze suddenly smiled and said, "This is the judge of your right Xiaowei, called Gu Han." ”

"Understood." Li Rui is extremely smart, as soon as Li Ze said this, he probably understood that this judge named Gu Han was afraid that he had a special mission.

"Li Hao, let's talk about the situation in Dizhou!" Li Ze turned his head to look at the other general.

"Childe, at this stage, the Dizhou side is mainly carrying out the integration and adjustment of the army." Li Hao stood up and said: "General Qin led 20,000 Zuo Xiaowei into Dizhou, and together with the 5,000 soldiers of our department who were originally stationed in Dizhou, they were reorganized into Zuo Xiaowei. The two sides still need to run in in many aspects, the officers need to be adjusted, and the military orders and drills need to be re-adapted, so so far, Zuo Xiaowei can only be said to have preliminary combat effectiveness. ”

"In the spring of next year, can the integration be completed?" Li Ze asked bluntly.

Li Hao hesitated, but nodded: "It can be done." ”

"Hmm!" Li Ze snorted: "Let's talk about the overall situation in Dizhou and the reaction of Pinglu on the other side, right?" ”

"Pinglu Hou Xiyi has always been very wary of us, in front of us, has always been equipped with heavy troops, after General Qin led his troops into Dizhou, he even deployed almost all of his elite forces to our front, according to intelligence, in the past month alone, but more than 20,000 officers and soldiers have been mobilized. The friction between the two sides on the border has not been interrupted since then. Before General Qin entered Dizhou, we had already occupied several strategic points on the opposite side. Around these points, there has been a pause, and it has never stopped, but the scale is not large. ”

"Thorn Shi Yang Wei, Chang Shi Lu Guan, from the beginning of their tenure, has been preparing for the war, in the past two years, Dizhou has accumulated 50,000 troops of a year's available grain and grass, once the war starts, Zuo Xiaowei does not need the center to transfer grain and grass, the local can be used. It won't take a year to draw Lu, right? Li Hao looked at everyone confidently and smiled.

Li Ze also laughed. Yang Wei and Lu Guan, these are all backbone members of the Yixing Society, since they took office, they have been preparing to take down Pinglu, and they are prepared and safe, and when they need to come in handy, they can be handy.

Han Qi, who participated in the meeting, was a little shocked, Dizhou actually prepared 50,000 troops for a year's grain and grass without a word, they naturally would not do it without orders, it was obviously instructed by Li Ze, that is to say, Li Ze had already made up his mind a long time ago.

Of course, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, Dizhou does not need to support grain and grass, which is of course excellent.

It took Li Ze half a day to communicate with him about the change in the strategic plan of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court, and finally reluctantly persuaded the military secretary.

In Han Qi's opinion, this time the cake is really a bit bigger.

The Northeast wants to fight with Zhang Zhongwu and promote peace with war. This is something that will be done by the end of this year.

The northwest wants to fight with Tibet, this battle is the most difficult to fight, in the early stage I am afraid that I will lose the battle, those border town officers and soldiers are not comparable to the past, and they will not be able to fight for a long time. However, the Zhenzhou court can only intervene when they are defeated and can no longer support it, which is very passive in terms of form. Standing at the height of the center at this moment, Han Qi especially hates this kind of local drama, if the imperial court soldiers and horses can be stationed in these border towns in advance, will Tubo still come? I'm afraid that the Tibetan people will seriously think about whether they can catch something? But now, they can only watch these border towns fail before they can intervene. Even if it's just a defensive counterattack, if you lose the first move on the battlefield, it will be much more troublesome to fight. This time, it was Li Cunzhong and Zhang Jia's troops who had to resist the Tubo people.

Zhang Jia is just that, Li Cunzhong's troops, they are all his Han Qi's heart.
