Li Ze stood at the head of Lingzhou City.

On the city gate building behind him, the banner of Datang was waving in the wind. Warriors with spears in their arms stood neatly along the battlements of the city walls, stretching all the way. Under the city, tens of thousands of cavalry stood on horseback, and everyone looked up at Li Ze above the city.

It just so happened that the place where Li Ze was standing was exactly where Tocharo was standing not long ago.

"Great rivers and mountains, I can finally splash ink and paint!" Li Ze closed his eyes and spread his arms, as if he wanted to pour this magnificent mountain and river into his arms.

Under the city, I don't know which soldier suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

"Hooray!"

The next moment, the shouts of Long Live came up in waves like the tide of the sea, which startled Li Ze. Behind him, Min Rou had a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and Li Cunzhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, his face was extremely ugly. And last year's champion, the shocked look on Kang Yu's face who was called flashed by, but he returned to normal in an instant, looking at the soldiers who were shouting a tsunami in the mountains under the city, with a look of course.

Li Ze stretched out his hands forward, slowly pressed down, and the sound of long live was silent in an instant.

"Datang!" Li Ze choked and pulled out the dragon knife at his waist, raised it high, and shouted loudly.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Datang!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Li Ze nodded with satisfaction.

This time he didn't meet Tocharo, Li Ze still felt a little pity, he still admired Tocharo, this person is not short of heart, not lacking wrists, of course, there is no lack of ruthlessness and instant decision, if there is a shortcoming in this, it is too old.

This is his death hole, no matter how powerful a person is, but he is always invincible to the erosion of time. Compared to him, he has an advantage in this aspect, and he still has enough time to outline the kingdom he wants.

"Min Rou, let the soldiers return to their respective camps!" Li Ze commanded.

"Yes!" Min Rou turned around and strode down the tower.

Li Ze turned his head to look at Li Cunzhong and Kang Yu: "General Li, Kang Yu, you two come with me!" ”

I don't know for what reason, when Tocharo left Lingzhou, he did not wreak havoc on Lingzhou City, of course, the people in the city were taken away by him, leaving only an empty city for Li Ze.

In Li Ze's view, this was a kind of demonstration against him by Tocharo. Such a city like a ghost realm can be more shocking than the ruins of a place.

In fact, the Tang army, which had just entered the city, was indeed shocked.

The army dug three feet into the city and searched it, but found nothing unusual. Li Ze didn't want to fall into a trap, because he had done such a thing, and the old Texas City, after he was used in this way, he burned the former Henghai army to the ground.

It wasn't until security was confirmed that the army was officially stationed in the city.

"General Cunzhong, in the future, the front line of Lingzhou will be handed over to you to garrison." Li Ze looked at Li Cunzhong and said: "There are still 10,000 soldiers in the original Zuo Wuwei, and then I will send you 20,000 foot horses from the Right Wuwei, Zuo Weiwei, Zuo Jinwuwei and Zuo Qianniuwei, and at the same time, you will recruit 5,000 to 10,000 young men in Lingzhou and Yinzhou, with a total of 40,000 horses." However, in Lingzhou, the recruitment of people in Yinzhou cannot be achieved overnight, you need to discuss with Dai Lin and Kang Yu, step by step, after all, these two places have suffered great losses in this war, and there is a lot of demand for young people. ”

"Yes!" Li Cunzhong clenched his fists and said helplessly.

Yes, he is still the general of Zuo Wuwei, and Li Ze has entrusted him with a heavy task and asked him to guard one side, but compared with before, he knows that he is no longer the same Li Cunzhong as before. The Zuo Wuwei in front of him is not the previous Zuo Wuwei who obeyed his words and had no second thoughts. This Zuo Wuwei, which was drawn from all the guards, will definitely not be bad in combat effectiveness, but they are no longer loyal to themselves, but to Li Ze.

He is nothing but their commander.

If one day, Li Ze wants to remove himself, all he needs is a messenger and a handwritten letter, and he will have to obediently roll up the cover and leave Zuo Wuwei.

"General Cunzhong, do you understand what you're going to do next?" Li Ze looked at Li Cunzhong with a smile and asked.

"Xiangye, rest assured, with Li Cunzhong in one day, he will never let the Tubo people step into my Tang territory one step further." Li Cunzhong is categorical.

"And that's not all!" Li Ze shook his head and said, "In my opinion, after Tocharo returns to China, he will still maintain a strong posture, after all, this person has been in power in Tubo for decades, and his prestige is not comparable to others in a short period of time." Therefore, as soon as he returns to China, the chaos in Tibet will soon return to calm, which is not a good thing for the Delhi Chinan that we support. ”

Li Cunzhong was slightly surprised: "What does Xiangye mean that Zuo Wuwei still has to maintain strong military pressure on Tubo?" ”

"The troops I transferred to you are mainly cavalry." Li Ze nodded slightly: "It's not just about maintaining strong military pressure, once Tocharian wants to use troops on a large scale against Delhi Chinan, you might as well raise troops to suppress it." ”

Li Cunzhong took a deep breath: "Xiangye means that if I have the opportunity, I can go and take advantage of him?" ”

"I don't mind if you can take advantage." Li Ze smiled: "But we have to grasp a degree, we can't really provoke Tocharian and make up our minds to fight with you, because in this case, we will have to tilt too many resources to you, and this is not what we want." ”

"I understand what Xiang Ye means. It is to work hard to ensure that Delhi China can survive, and not let Tocharo destroy him easily. Li Cunzhong said.

"We're going to give Delhi China another bit of help in other areas, and of course, there's a price to pay for that kind of help, and the more time he exists, the more we can get." Li Ze smiled, looking like a profiteer, "Under the strong pressure of Tocharo, what other way can he do except hold our thighs?" ”

Li Cunzhong looked at Li Ze's smiling appearance, but he felt a chill in his vest, and felt goosebumps emerging layer by layer.

This is to lie down and suck blood on Delhi Chinan, and let the other party beg him to suck it. Compared with the destruction of the family and the dead family, Delhi Chinan must choose to be exploited by Li Ze. Delhi Chinan wants to get out of this predicament unless he can defeat Tocharian in the struggle at home.

But as long as Tocharian is alive, I'm afraid this possibility is not high.

Of course, Tocharo is old, maybe one day, the king of Yama will come and take him in, perhaps, this is the day that Delhi China is looking forward to?

But when this day really comes, I am afraid that Li Ze's policy towards Tibet will change again.

"Kang Yu, you are the first champion after we opened the department, and before that, you have been studying with Zhang Shangshu for many years, and you are familiar with our policies, so this time, you can be directly promoted and become the Lingzhou Thorn History, do you have the confidence to do things well here?" Li Ze looked at Kang Yu.

"Do your best, don't dare to slack off." Kang Yu arched his hand and said: "But Xiangye, those political opinions before the lower officials were just talk on paper, and they didn't have any practical experience, so they didn't dare to promise anything to Xiangye at will." ”

Li Ze laughed, looked at Li Cunzhong and said: "General Cunzhong, have you seen it, this is the talent from our Wuwei Academy, they will not be just talking, let alone promising anything at will, they will only promise to do a certain thing with all their might." However, I think this is enough, as long as we do our best, do our best, and really don't do a good job, then we should not pursue him personally, but should reflect on whether we have made any mistakes in selecting and employing people. ”

Li Cunzhong smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Kang Yu, Cao Shangshu knows that you are inexperienced at the grassroots level, so he specially selected a group of old officials from all over the country to serve here, these people are old fritters, for those things at the grassroots level, it can be said that they are extremely skilled, but they are also extremely slippery, what you have to do is to manage these people well, and grasp the direction of the general government. If you want to do good deeds, you must first manage people. Don't look at you as the champion, but in the eyes of these people, you are an out-and-out rookie in officialdom, whether you can suppress them will be the foundation for whether you can do a good job in Lingzhou Thorn History. ”

"Xiangye rest assured. This, I dare to pack a ticket! Kang Yu smiled.

"Okay, I finally saw the heroism of the champion." Li Ze said with a smile: "Now there is a huge Lingzhou, there are less than 20,000 households left, and it is not as good as an ordinary county in the mainland. ”

"Xiaguan must work hard to complete the arrangement of the prime minister."

"General Cunzhong's generals will also be in Lingzhou, you have one article and one military, I hope to cooperate closely, don't be dirty, and combine civil and military forces, so as to ensure that the Lingzhou frontier is safe and sound, and can further cooperate with the imperial court's general political strategy."

Li Cunzhong and Kang Yu stood up together and saluted with fists.

"Obey the orders of the Prime Minister. Regardless of General Li's qualifications and experience, he is far above the lower officials, and in the future, Kang will ask General Li for advice. ”

"Kang Thorn Shi is the top talent, Li himself is a big boss, but he has the most respect for readers, not to mention that Kang Thorn History is the best among readers, in the future, Kang Thorn History will have needs, as long as it does not violate military laws and regulations, Li will try his best to cooperate."
