"Wensu, Li Zhongyi did a very good job, and in just a few months, he pacified the rebellion in Yanling Prefecture. Chai Rong smiled and handed the fold in his hand back to Fan Zhen's hand.

Fan Zhen took Li Zhongyi's fold and gently stuffed it into his sleeve, even if he closed his eyes, he could memorize it word for word.

To tell the truth, Fan Zhen was able to fight for the two dynasties, and his special ability to never forget helped him survive countless times of swords, swords, shadows, and court battles.

"Your Majesty, the northwest is a heavy place for horse production, this Li has subdued tens of thousands of party members, and has tens of thousands of cavalry, in case he ......" Fan Zhen has always prided himself on being a pure minister, although his friendship with Li Zhongyi is not bad, but what should be said should not be said, standing in the position of the prime minister, he must take the initiative to remind Chai Rong.

Chai Rong played with the jade Yue in his hand, and said casually: "Wensu is too worried, there is a shortage of food in the northwest, even if Li has millions of soldiers, can he feed him?" ”

Fan Zhen knew this for a long time, and he also knew in his heart that Li Zhongyi, who was far away in the northwest, at least for the time being, would not be able to rebel at all.

To make it clear in advance has always been a treasure of Fan Qian's stable phase, and it will save the emperor from settling accounts in the future.

"Wensu, have the military rations and weapons been transferred?" Chai Rong waved the jade Yue in his hand in the air, and suddenly sighed and said, "The money and food are not enough to spend." ”

Although Chai Rong didn't say it plainly, the meaning was clear, Li Zhongyi, who was good at making money and making grain, was not in Beijing, and there were a lot of problems in logistics.

Fan Zhen had already cultivated to the fine, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." The army needs to transfer matters, and the imperial court has its own laws, so it is rashly changed. On the contrary, it will confuse the subordinates. ”

Chai Rong didn't squeak, and changed the topic and said: "Since Li has won a big victory, how should the imperial court reward him?" ”

Fan Zhen said without hesitation: "This dynasty attaches great importance to military merits and must be rewarded, but that Li Mou is not yet full, and he is already the observation and disposal envoy of the two states." The minister thought that it was not appropriate to give too much favor to the official position, and the title and the mansion could be relaxed. ”

Chai Rong's eyes flashed. smiled: "Wen Su, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the border soldiers?" ”

Fan Zhen shook his head and said, "The generals of the Shuofang Army need to give a heavy reward. ”

Chai Rong suddenly laughed and said, "Wensu." Vincent. You are indeed a smart man. However, I am determined to go on the Northern Expedition, and if I am not rewarded for my merits, who will fight to the death? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is more worried about whether the country is stable." Fan Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grace came from above, what should not be said, he had already said it in advance. As for how to treat Li Zhongyi, that's Chai Rong's problem.

Chai Rong smiled. Full of confidence, he said: "If Li Wuyi wants to rebel, as early as when he was in Goryeo, he could completely establish himself as a king." ”

Fan Zhen nodded secretly, Chai Rong's vision of people has always been accurate, Li Wuyi relied on more than 10,000 broken captives, and he was in Goryeo, and the whole good situation was far beyond his imagination.

Judging from the situation at that time, even if Li Zhongyi was self-reliant in Goryeo, it would probably be difficult for the imperial court to cross the ocean with a large army to quell the rebellion.

In the final analysis, Chai Rong only had food and material reserves for a big battle, and in order to achieve the strategic concept of the successful Northern Expedition, he could only temporarily tolerate the demon moths coming out of the secondary direction.

Li Zhongyi obviously had the opportunity to stand on his own, but he was unusually obedient and led his troops back to Kaifeng, if this Li is not a traitor, then it is enough to prove his loyalty to the Great Zhou court.

"Wensu, regarding Li's reward, I hope that the political affairs hall will be negotiated as soon as possible." After Chai Rong finished his instructions, he discussed with Fan Zhen for a while how to weaken the latent forces of Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin.

Zhang and Li, who have heavy troops in Gyeonggi, are the henchmen of Chai Rong who must always be vigilant!

Li Zhongyi, who was far away in Lingzhou, was not idle for a day, and selected another 2,000 from the tens of thousands of party slaves who were captured and added them to Guo Huai's cavalry troops.

In this way, Li Zhongyi's mobile force at hand has grown to more than 5,000 people in the blink of an eye.

Zuo Ziguang reminded Li Zhongyi with some worry: "Teacher, of the five thousand cavalry, our Han army only accounts for forty percent, and the party members account for sixty percent. ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and explained: "Although the number of cavalry in our Han army is small, they are in a group with fists, so why are you afraid? Besides, although the number of party cavalry is large, the highest establishment is only the level of centurion. Jiang Ming, let me ask you, why was Qin able to destroy the Six Kingdoms? ”

"The six countries are not in agreement, let Qin Yuanjiao attack, and each one will break through." Zuo Ziguang did not hesitate to give the correct conclusion.

Li Zhongyi nodded and said: "Since I took charge of the army, I have always emphasized that the system is greater than one qiē, as long as the regular rotation system is effectively implemented, even if there are careerists hidden among the party slave cavalry, it is difficult to strengthen the power of the lineage, and this so-called liuguan system is also." ”

"Teacher, haven't you always emphasized that those who are not of my race must have different hearts?" Zuo Ziguang himself was in charge of military orders, and of course he knew that even if it was Guo Huai, it was impossible to privately mobilize troops and horses within the jurisdiction of Lingzhou.

Zuo Ziguang knew very well in his heart that the separation of military and political affairs and military orders was not Li Zhongyi's initiative. Since the Middle and Tang dynasties, the imperial court has divided the military power of the forbidden army and the prime minister with the Privy Council, and the same is true.

However, Li Zhongyi was in charge of the army and paid more attention to the system and details than the imperial court. Putting aside the infantry army, among the Shuofang horse army, the ten husbands have fake pacification, the hundred husbands have the suppression, and the thousand men have the town committee.

If the general of the unified army wants to mobilize the soldiers and horses of all the capitals, he must also show Li Zhongyi's signature and the transfer order issued by the Senate, and it needs to be approved by the town committee at the same level. Otherwise, it is a rebellion.

With this kind of institutional guarantee of strict military control, the difficulty of the generals to privately mobilize military horses is unimaginably high.

The fake Zhenfu, Zhenfu, and the town party committee, all of these people came from Li Zhongyi's Ya barracks, and after a long and close investigation, they were sent to the establishment of various grassroots units.

Of course, there are gains and losses. With such a strict system of troop mobilization, when the marshal's office is faced with a hasty upheaval, the reaction of the armies will be greatly reduced.

However, this big problem in Zuo Ziguang's eyes did not stump Li Zhongyi, and in the few months he spent in Lingzhou, his tooth barracks had expanded to 1,000 people.

More than a thousand tooth barracks, armed to the teeth, are in Lingzhou City, which is enough to deal with any sudden event.

Zuo Ziguang thought to himself, if the imperial court also adopted Li Zhongyi's method of commanding the army, would there still be a feudal town in the world?

After listening to Zuo Ziguang's question, Li Zhongyi took a sip of tea slowly, and then explained with a smile: "The situation in our Lingzhou and the imperial court is very different. If His Majesty wants to do this, not to mention that Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin will not agree, even Zhao Kuangyin will inevitably be separated from the imperial court. Hehe, the imperial court has a big business, and the involvement and concerns are much greater than ours. (To be continued!)
