One afternoon more than a month later, Li Zhongyi finally waited for Chai Rong's new arrangement for him.

"Under the door, the Marquis of Xiaoyao County, the commander of the Broken Army, the commander of the Weizhou regiment, Li, the cadre of the country, is known as a capable official...... In addition to the silver Qingguanglu doctor, the edict granted the Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, the Shuo Fang observation and disposal envoy, the Shuo Fang Zhufan tribe envoy, the Lingzhou Thorn History and the head of the soldiers and horses...... Erqi Qin, but! ”

The edict handed down by the angel is from the handwriting of the Hanlin Scholar Zhizhi, a typical four-six format, there is a lot of nonsense, and the length of Li Zhongyi's title is dizzying.

Doctor Yinqing Guanglu is a third-grade literary official, but it is just an honorary title, not worth mentioning.

Longtu Pavilion is to be made from the four rank of the pavilion, which seems to be a false title, but it means that Li Zhongyi is a close minister next to the Son of Heaven, and he will have the opportunity to enter the cabinet as a minister in the future.

Shuofang observes and disposes of the envoys, the status is slightly lower than that of Shuofang, mainly administrative, and there are two states within the jurisdiction, Yanzhou and Lingzhou.

Fortunately, Li Zhongyi obtained the identity of Lingzhou's assassin and the head of the soldiers and horses, which means that he will at least be the soil emperor of Lingzhou from now on.

As for the envoys of the Shuo tribe, in fact, all the barbarians in Shuofang who were attached to the Great Zhou Dynasty were under the control of Li Zhongyi.

After receiving the edict, Li Zhongyi thought to himself that Chai Rong seemed to have obeyed his national policy, first set the northwest, seize the horse source of the Hetao, and then restore the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The scope of the Shuofang Jiedu Embassy in the Later Zhou Dynasty was much smaller than that of the Late Tang Dynasty, with only two states. Moreover, the Shuofang Jiedu Embassy was the northwest border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. One of the most remote knots is the embassy.

In fact, the northern, southern, and western parts of Li Zhongyi's jurisdiction are all the territory of the party's members. The party members nominally respected the Great Zhou Dynasty as orthodox. Secretly, it is the set of the ** kingdom, which neither listens to dispatch nor obeys government decrees.

Although Chai Rong did not take the Broken Army away to Li Zhongyi, he arranged for more than 1,000 old troops led by Guo Huai to follow him to Lingzhou to take office.

To be honest, Li Zhongyi is already content with this arrangement. If he doesn't have a strong army at hand. The barbarians in the Northwest Frontier who are afraid of power and do not have virtue will never be obedient.

Ahem, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the party. Li Zhongyi only has about 1,000 people on hand, and it is a situation of fighting more with less!

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that this was another important test for Chai Rong for him. If the tribes of the party were pacified. Li Zhongyi's status in Chai Rong's mind has risen a few floors, and that is a matter of course.

For the matter that Li Zhongyi is about to be stationed, the Li family is all busy under the call of the bottle.

It's okay to say that the luggage that goes out of the border is okay, just go and pack the bottle, Li Zhongyi feels a headache, which concubine do you want to take to office?

As a border guard. Li Zhongyi's parents and sons must stay in Kaifeng. It is tantamount to a hostage in disguise.

Li Zhongyi went to Lingzhou here, shouldering the military responsibility of pacifying the party, and it was impossible to bring a large number of concubines to enjoy happiness.

Goryeo's three twin sisters, only one followed, so it didn't make much sense, and Li Zhongyi only thought about it a little and rejected this idea.

The bottle has to be housekeeper and take care of the dog, so he can only be wronged and stay at home.

Among the six concubines, this excludes four, leaving Fujiwara Sakura and Peony!

Li Zhongyi's eyes rolled slightly, hehe, he simply didn't bring anyone, and secretly took Fei Meiniang to Lingzhou, and she looked like she could keep it.

After making up his mind, Li Zhongyi deliberately did not say anything, and it was not until the night before he left that he announced his decision to the concubines.

Good guy, after Li Zhongyi's decision was announced, the family immediately exploded. Peony cried and shouted to go with him, Caijiao called her brother-in-law with teary eyes, Sakura didn't cry, but whispered that she was good at scouting the enemy.

Li Zhongyi smiled dumbly, how do the Japanese people know the words of the party, Sakura, this Japanese forbearance, even if she goes to the northwest, she can't even understand the words, which is typical useless.

"Okay, shut up for me, I've made up my mind, no need to say more." Li Zhongyi's decision has not been overturned so far.

What is a husband? It is to pretend to be confused about small things, and to decide big things in one word, which is unquestionable.

Five days ago, when His Majesty was leaving, Chai Rong privately gave Li Zhongyi a secret edict and appointed him as the capital of the Northwest Camp.

Li Zhongyi nominally did not hold a military post, but only brought more than 1,000 generals to take office, Chai Rong just didn't want to startle the snake and make the party members more vigilant.

Because Shuofang was too far away from Jingzhaofu (present-day Xi'an), Li Zhongyi did not ask for more soldiers and horses, but asked Chai Rong to allocate some craftsmen who made arrows and smelted iron, so as to build a Lingzhou sub-prison of the ordnance prison on the spot.

Chai Rong also knew that Lingzhou was far away, not only was the supply of weapons difficult, but the transportation of food and other materials was a fatal problem, so he agreed.

After the army came out, Guo Huai looked extremely excited, and said with a smile: "Returning to Xiangshuai's command, the last general will die of joy." ”

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and said, "The world is impermanent, after a big circle, the old brothers are still together." ”

Yao Hong said with a smile: "The surname Zuo said a few days ago that this opportunity is really rare, and what he wants to do most is to rebuild the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Zuo Ziguang, who was a big ghost, and asked him with a smile: "I'm afraid that there is not enough time." ”

Chai Rong has only a few years of life, how much time will God leave for Li Zhongyi to clean up the mess in the Western Regions?

"Teacher, it's up to people, although there are many party members, they are scattered in the three states of Yin, Xia, and Sui. If the imperial army marches north from Cizhou, attracts the main force of the party people, covers our quiet attack, and breaks Xiazhou, there is still a good chance. "Zuo Ziguang is resourceful, shrewd and capable, but under the influence of Li Zhongyi, he is now a proper Hanist.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said: "If you want to break Xiazhou, you must first pacify Zhufan, otherwise, before the army on my side moves, Xiazhou will already know." ”

The problem of Shuo Fang is mainly that the barbarians who belong to the party are sometimes rebellious and submissive, and whoever gives benefits will work for whomever they want, and it is difficult to determine their true position.

The entire Shuofang is located in the westernmost part of the Great Zhou Kingdom, where the grassland barbarians live the most and the ethnic issues are the most complicated.

According to a little superficial information copied by Li Zhongyi from the Privy Council, in addition to the miscellaneous tribes of the Dangxiang people, there were hundreds of tribes of more than 10 ethnic groups, such as the Tuyuhun, Uighur, and Murwei.

In terms of social nature, these barbarians are basically still in a slave society, and they are soldiers and herdsmen, and they are also very mobile.

It's really a hard bone to gnaw, Li Zhongyi thought of this, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and look into the distance, Western Regions, I'm here!

On the way to the march, Li Zhongyi showed that these old subordinates around him were still strictly implementing the regulations he had formulated before to train troops and fight wars.

Today's Li Zhongyi is no longer a military rookie, and just from the formation of the marching army, he can see that the Laohechi Township Army has lagged behind the broken army trained according to the new system.

From a military point of view alone, the Broken Army is very close to the synthetic service in the modern sense, and not only is the weapons for long-range and medium-range strikes relatively complete, but also the formation for short-range hand-to-hand combat is also relatively reasonable. In addition, in order to protect against the impact of cavalry, the shield chariot of the Broken Army was also configured according to the standard of one tithe.

Compared with the two, the Laohechi Township Army still has a fatal problem, it has not experienced a frontal bloody battle with a large corps of tens of thousands of people.

In the past, the Laohechi Township Army, which was composed of mountain people, fought basically guerrilla warfare under the command of Li Zhongyi.

In terms of mobility ability, in Li Zhongyi's opinion, the Laohechi Township Army should be far stronger than the Broken Army, and its ability to run away if it can't be defeated is particularly prominent.

"This is going to Lingzhou, the road is very long, and idleness is also idle, which is just right for military training." Li Zhongyi took the brand-new training and combat outline compiled by him from Li Yunxiao's hand and handed it to Guo Huai.

Because the sailor division was transferred to the Yangtze River valley to guard against the sneak attack of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Zhongyi's small group of soldiers and horses could only take 6 routes to Lingzhou.

This way to go, really called the road is long, the army went west out of Kaifeng, through Zhengzhou, Xijing (Luoyang), through Tongguan, arrived at Jingzhao Mansion.

Jingzhao Mansion, the old Chang'an, since it was broken and slaughtered by Huangchao, has long since ceased to be the glory of the world's largest city in the Tang Dynasty.

There are only tens of thousands of people in a huge city, and the market is extremely depressed, not to mention that it cannot be compared with the increasingly prosperous Kaifeng, and even Western Kyoto is far from comparable.

After resting in Jingzhao Mansion for a night, Li Zhongyi continued to lead his old subordinates, hurrying while hurrying to train in a hurry.

From Kaifeng to Lingzhou, the whole journey is about more than 3,000 miles, which can be described as far away and abnormal.

The daily itinerary of the Laohechi Township Army was set at the standard eighty miles, and more than a month later, it arrived in Lingzhou, to which the Shuofang Jiedu envoy belonged.

Shi Yang Zhenggao, the governor of Lingzhou, led the civil and military officers of the city and the officials with heads and faces to go out of the city for ten miles to welcome Li Zhongyi's arrival.

"Xiaguan meets Li Guan."

Because among Li Zhongyi's dispatches, the status of the observation and disposal envoy is the highest and the most powerful, so Yang Zhenggao is commensurate with observation.

"Yang Changshi, hard work." Li Zhongyi got off the horse with a smile, and under Yang Zhenggao's introduction, he greeted his subordinates one by one and greeted them.

According to the system of the Great Zhou, because Lingzhou is Shangzhou, Li Zhongyi's subordinates not only have Changshi and Sima, but also have the highest official driver.

In addition to the above three adjutants, the subordinates of the Lingzhou Assassin Mansion, the county commanders of each county, as well as the records of the military, the records of the seven Cao to join the army (judge) and the city commanders, doctors and other adjutants.

The shelves of the entire Thorn Mansion are quite large, the sparrows are not small, and they are all complete!

In addition, the judges and secretaries who observed and disposed of the embassy also rushed to the outskirts to welcome the arrival of their bosses.

Li Zhongyi glanced at the audience for a week, and he showed a strange phenomenon, he, the envoy of the Tibetan tribe, had already arrived, and there were not many people from the Tibetan tribe who came to greet him.

The looks and costumes of Han and Fan are very different, and Li Zhongyi can see at a glance that it seems that the people of Fan don't welcome his arrival very much? (To be continued!)
