Chapter 644: Splitting the Soil and Sealing the Territory
The excitement of quite Chaoyong was beyond words, which made Li Zhongyi realize that he had really caught a big fish!
Although Liu Heyang has always had some prejudices against the alien barbarian who is quite Chaoyong, this does not affect his curiosity that is almost flooded at this time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no joke in the army, Liu Heyang is quite brave and has no courage, and dares to play tricks in front of Li Zhongyi.
Completely different from the private army of the same era, the internal organizational structure of the Li Jiajun was very tight, and the three systems of commander, pacification, and military law checked and balanced each other, and did not subordinate each other.
If Liu Heyang dares to show the slightest reluctance, I am afraid that the army of repression has not yet arrived, and his head has already moved.
Although the initiative in the transfer of troops is in Liu Heyang's hands, the transfer of troops not only requires the countersignature of the pacification battalion, but also the premise of the dispatch order is that his safety is completely controlled by the pacification battalion.
With more than a thousand years of advanced knowledge, Li Zhongyi deeply understands the following truths: the emperor is a strong soldier and a strong horse.
From ancient times to the present, the barrel of a gun comes out of power, it is the last word, without exception!
The gunman, the sharp weapon of the double-edged blade, can kill the enemy when stabbed, but it can also devour the master when reversed.
With regard to the control of military power, Li Zhongyi adopted a strict institutionalized separation of powers, and laid a good foundation from the beginning of the founding of the army.
"Master, all of you robes, I have caught the only son and only daughter of Ye Mingzhen, the political affairs of Zuo Pingzhang, the Prime Minister of Nanjing of the Khitan State." quite Chaoyong rubbed his hands, looking extremely excited.
After Li Zhongyi heard Ye Mingzhen's official title clearly, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this person is just a false position!
Although the Khitan official system is much more disorderly than that of the Great Zhou, it also has basic rules to follow. The bureaucratic system of the Khitan State was divided into northern and southern officials, and the northern officials held the real military and political power.
The southern officials are mainly Han people, and the highest military and political organ is the left-behind government, and the remaining guards must be the Khitan royal family or descendants, who are always in charge of the military and political power of the naturalized Han people, and play the role of monitoring the Han people nearby.
He has been an enemy of the Khitans for many years, and Li Zhongyi knows that the so-called Southern Prime Minister's Mansion stationed in Youzhou is only responsible for the civil affairs of Tokyo Province, and his status is very high on the surface, but he does not actually have much real power.
The left prime minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion does not have much real power, not to mention the political affairs of Zuo Pingzhang, a subordinate official who waits for him?
However, although Li Zhongyi knew it in his heart, he did not interrupt Quite Chaoyong's good interest, he said with a smile: "Xiang Ming, you did a good job, with this hostage in hand, the reality of Youzhou will definitely be mastered by our army." β
After being praised, quite Chaoyong gradually calmed down, arched his hands and said humbly: "It's just a fluke, the little one gets carried away and is rude, please don't be surprised." β
Liu Heyang, who has been watching from the sidelines, was secretly surprised by the performance of quite a super brave, this party barbarian is far from being as vulgar as he seems on the surface.
"Xiang Ming, sit on my side." Li Zhongyi pointed to the vacant seat beside him, and smiled and motioned to sit down.
Quite Chaoyong waved his hand again and again, and said unusually modestly: "The little official is lowly and small, just sit by the door." β
Li Zhongyi glared at him, and raised his chin at Quite Chaoyong, he didn't speak, and pointed directly to the empty seat beside him.
Seeing that Li Zhongyi's determination had been decided, he had to accompany him carefully, hunched his waist, leaned half of his buttocks, and sat beside Li Zhongyi in a proper manner.
Li Zhongyi smiled, poured a cup of hot tea for Po Chaoyong with his own hands, handed it to him, and boasted: "I can't drink it during the war, I borrow tea instead of wine, and toast our big hero." β
The commander personally poured tea, which in the Li family's army, was completely a beautiful thing for the eldest girl to get on the sedan chair, and it could be described as infinitely glorious.
Quite Chaoyong drank the tea poured by Li Zhongyi with joy, Liu Heyang was secretly a little funny, if this party barbarian in front of him knew the true weight of Ye Mingzhen, would he be so happy?
"Xiang Ming, how did you catch Ye Mingzhen's only son and only daughter?" Anyway, it's not lunch time yet, and Li Zhongyi's gossip heart is also a little impatient.
quite Chaoyong raised his cuffs, wiped the tea stains on the corners of his mouth, and described in detail the process of catching the "big fish".
While listening to this, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, this quite Chaoyong looks more coarse, but he is actually as careful as a hair.
Quite Chaoyong led the party cavalry to the north, a total of more than 3,000 people, and the last time he fought a head-on battle with the Khitans, he suffered heavy casualties and lost about one-fifth of his troops.
However, the party cavalry, which was supposed to have broken up and completely lost its combat effectiveness, still maintained a strong fighting spirit.
The old-style army of this era is far less tolerant of war losses than the recent and modern national armies. As long as the losses exceed 5 percent of the total strength, the will to fight of the majority of the old army will be seriously reduced and very low.
Once the casualties are close to or exceed 10%, even if Chai Rong painstakingly trained the elite forbidden army of the Great Zhou, it will be difficult to escape the doom of general collapse, except for miracles, such as the Battle of Gaoping.
Generally speaking, the Khitans, who are extremely nomadic, have always been good at fighting with the wind. The Khitans, who fought if they could fight, turned their horses' heads and fled for their lives if they couldn't beat them, and their ability to bear casualties was far inferior to that of the forbidden army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Based on Li Zhongyi's rich experience in fighting with the Khitans, he believes that about 3% of the losses are the dividing line between whether the Khitans have the will to fight.
However, the Li family army established by Li Zhongyi was so strict that the military law was so strict that it was appalling.
Fight to the death, there is still a good opportunity to gain military merits, get promoted and make a fortune, and be a master!
Those who dare to retreat will die in ten lives, and not only that, but they will also be unlucky with the entire family!
When the battle is about to begin, how Li Jiajun's sons and daughters will choose is actually an undoubted thing.
With the help of the two ambushes set up, not only wiped out the Khitan defenders in Yuguan, but also captured a pair of only children of Zuo Pingzhang's political affairs in Nanjing's Prime Minister's Mansion, which can be regarded as a miraculous achievement.
After listening to quite Chaoyong's complete report, Liu Heyang preemptively shouted: "Xiangshuai, Xiang Ming has made this great achievement, and he must be rewarded!" β
Liao Shanhe's eyes rolled, and then he also shouted: "Yes, yes, there should be a lot of rewards." β
Yang Lie dusted off the sleeves of his robe, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Hongguang and Liao Xiaoda are really unpredictable, hehe, how can a mere calculation hide from Li Zhongyi's eyes?
Think of it. Yang Lie turned his head slightly, cast his gaze on Li Zhongyi's face, and watched his every move intently.
Li Zhongyi took the tea cup that Zhu Niang had refilled with water, smiled faintly, and just lowered his head to drink tea, but he didn't say a word.
Liu Heyang also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, but Li Zhongyi's silence made him a little disappointed.
Liao Shanhe was familiar with Li Zhongyi's temperament, he was just coaxing and wanted to interview Li Zhongyi's mind from the side, and he didn't have much hope in the first place.
Song Yunxiang pretended to study the map, his eyes were intent, and he was extremely serious, but he kept pricking up his ears and silently paying attention to the development of the situation.
Ma Guangda, the commander of the second army, stared at the tea cup in his hand, if it wasn't for Zhu Niang who had been paying attention to his movements, it would have been impossible to find that Ma Guangda's fingers on the tea lid were trembling slightly.
Yang Lie peeked around, and he noticed that although Quite Chaoyong's demeanor was as usual, from his eyes that kept turning, Yang Lie vaguely sensed that this party barbarian should have a sense of loss, and more of expectation.
In the lobby of the entire General's Mansion, for a while, there was no sound, and even the rustle of Zhu Niang walking on tiptoe was clearly recognizable.
After Li Zhongyi drank a cup of tea, he gently put the tea cup on the carpet in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that his subordinates had different expressions and unbalanced mentalities.
"Cough," Li Zhongyi deliberately coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention, and then slowly instructed Song Yunxiang: "Shiguang, you have prepared a handwritten edict to make this great contribution to Ming, reward 300 households in the Yi and pasture, just choose a fertile place with water and grass in the pasture of the Bison Department of the Lingzhou Dangxiang Clan." β
"Thank you for the reward!" Even if he is quite shrewd, after all, he is a party member with the plot of the grassland people, he is overjoyed, bows his head, and bows his head to thank him.
"This ...... Liu Liao and the others present at the ...... looked at each other at first, and then, some people with fast brains, such as Yang Lie, immediately understood Li Zhongyi's intentions.
Song Yunxiang secretly applauded while giving up his hand, Li Zhongyi's reward was tantamount to playing a sidekick, breaking the court rules of the whole world in disguise.
Ma Guangda pondered that Li Zhongyi may not have the heart to rebel against the imperial court for the time being, but at least he left behind an infinite reverie of splitting the soil and sealing the territory.
Yang Lie was not surprised by Li Zhongyi's statement, those who take the world, in addition to being famous, do not need to take advantage of the situation.
Attacking and defending, you must take advantage of the situation, and force your hand before the fire arrives, and the probability of death and extinction is amazing!
Song Yunxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as far as the current point of view, Li Zhongyi's attitude is to at least treat Lingzhou as the private territory of the Li family, otherwise, where would he say that he would be rewarded with food?
After the answer was revealed, Liu Heyang glanced at Chaoyong with some ill will, Li Xiangshuai only said that he would reward 300 households of pastures, but did not limit the range of death options, he hoped that he would be able to carry forward the greedy nature of the grassland people, and die when he was full.
Unlike others, Zuo Ziguang, who has been silent, has a completely different view, Li Zhongyi's previous rewards are generally valuable things such as silver houses or silk silks.
This time, Li Zhongyi rewarded the food of 300 households for the first time, which was the first time that the little lady got on the sedan chair!
Zuo Ziguang touched his chin, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, the king of the torn earth is a ball, what he has been looking forward to is to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven!
