Chapter 169: The Chain of Interests

The corners of Li Xinchen's mouth raised: "These guards of mine should also go out to experience some tempering, not to mention that they follow me to fight in the north and south, they can be regarded as veterans, how can they not be moved?" And I have to show the world my determination to pacify Lingnan. ”

Xiao Maha hurriedly said: "Since Your Majesty is going to send guards and pro-army, then the minister implores to send fifty people from his personal guards to follow south!" ”

Li Xinchen glanced at Xiao Maha, and said secretly in his heart: Compared with when he was in Huainan and Jiangling, Xiao Mahe has really become smarter.

Li Xinchen sent the guards to the army, and the captain also followed the transfer of the guards, as long as the generals below are not stupid, they have to quickly transfer some of the guards to express their support for this big war, so how can they come up with a team of nearly two thousand soldiers and horses, although this army may be a little messy, but the generals and guards must be the elite of the army, and the obedience is strong, even if it is temporarily formed, the combat power is definitely not far behind, not to mention that there is also the strongest Yulin cavalry in the army.

And Xiao Maha's gaze also subconsciously swept over Li Xinchen, and he didn't slander him.

Your Majesty has also gone bad······

Li Xinchen's eyes turned, and he said in a deep voice: "Now I am more worried about the reform of the army, what do you think of the new military system?" ”

Xiao Maha pondered for a moment and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's move makes it possible for the general to only fight, and the power of the governor is divided into three, which is of course excellent for consolidating the rule of the imperial court. ”

The division of military power is indeed the primary purpose of Li Xinchen's reform, after all, Yin Jian is not far away, Li Xinchen himself is a typical example of supporting the army and then devouring the master in turn, and during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there are simply countless people who have done this, and almost all the founding emperors of all dynasties have taken this path.

What Li Xinchen had to do was to take control of the army into his own hands, and the generals only had the power to support the troops when they led the troops into battle, and in most of the other cases, the army was in the hands of the master and Sima, although it was nominally vested in the generals, but they only listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

In doing so, it was tantamount to putting an end to the private military policy that had flourished since the Three Kingdoms, and that the general no longer had a large army that was subordinate to him.

But just as Xiao Maha worried, problems also followed.

"There is nothing wrong with such a reform, but who accepts and who opposes it? Will there be many opponents? Xiao Maha said thoughtfully, "And the previous dynasties also knew the danger of generals having private soldiers, and it is indeed ridiculous to tie the security of the country to personal loyalty, but this also makes it a way to ensure combat effectiveness, after all, His Majesty's grace cannot take into account everyone······"

Li Xinchen smiled slightly: "For the first question, a certain person relies on the captain, the white robe and the feather forest horse, and also relies on the loyal people. ”

Xiao Maha shuddered, the meaning is already obvious, if there is really disobedient, it is a word, kill.

It seems that this operation is very dangerous, but in fact, now the main forces of the army are in the hands of Li Xinchen's cronies, whether it is Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian, Wang Chang, Chen Zhishen and Cao Zhong, they almost control all the elites of the entire Han Dynasty, and the remaining Han Baohu, Li Xun and others have no power to complain as generals, as for Chun Yucen, Wu Huijue and Lu Zicai, they have long been tied to Li Xinchen's chariot with their families.

There are very few people left, such as Huang Wan, as long as they still have a little brain, they know what to do.

When the words fell, Li Xinchen glanced at Huang Qi next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Huang Qi should naturally understand why he should hear these words.

Thinking about this, Xiao Maha couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Li Xinchen, a young man, seemed to be non-stop all the way, but he still laid a big net, firmly controlling all the people who had a relationship with him in the net, interests, honor, status, etc. were like chains connecting them and binding them.

No one wants to break free from this net again.

After a pause, Li Xinchen muttered, "As for my grace, let it be handed over to those ancestors who have made a name for themselves on the battlefield to help me spread it." ”

——————————

North of Yulim County, on the shore of Lishui.

Heavy rain was falling, enveloping the entire beautiful landscape in the rain. The roads in Lingnan, especially in the western part of Lingnan, are not very good in the first place, and when the heavy rain washes down, only mud remains. However, Xiao Shilian still rode his horse up the hill on the side of the road with difficulty.

It rained heavily for three or four days, and the road was almost no longer visible, and the Lishui not far away was also a strong tide, and the ships transporting grain and grass were struggling to get to the simple wharf in the wind and rain. And in the camp that stretched along the hillside, the soldiers were struggling to dig drainage ditches. The drainage ditches used to build the camp were no longer sufficient, and new ditches had to be dug every day, even on the hillside, to prevent rainwater from collecting into streams and storming the camp.

The amount of this heavy rain was obviously beyond imagination, and it seemed that God had turned the steam that had been held for a summer into rain at this time, but it also washed away the last bit of heat, and even felt the coolness in the blowing river breeze.

In the midst of the rain, Yulin County was silent, but Xiao Shilian knew that there were at least thousands of Yue people there, but fortunately, the heavy rain also blocked their attack, if they had the guts, and the way to retreat.

It was precisely because of the absence of the Baiyue people that Xiao Shilian was able to easily break through Lishui and directly advance the army not far from Yulin County.

In the heavy rain, it was not clear what the city looked like, but the scouts had already woven a large net in the wind and rain, and the enemy had been repulsed several times when they tried to the south, so they simply retreated in the city, so they were not afraid that the other side would run.

Speaking of this, Xiao Shilian also had to sigh at Li Xun's good luck, because it was on the other side of the mountain, so his partial division was not greatly affected by the wind and rain, and successfully outflanked the flanks of the Baiyue people, and even got in touch with the people who came from Nanzhong.

But looking at the rain, Xiao Shilian couldn't raise his temper. What's more, it was not a good thing for him to trap the Baiyue people in the city. Xiao Shilian is very familiar with the combat methods of the Ba people, if he really puts these guys who are more agile than monkeys back into the mountains and forests, it will be really difficult to deal with, so it is better to catch them all here.

"You guys haven't heard from me in the past two days." Xiao Shilian said in a low voice, "Don't have any accidents. ”

Next to him is Xiao Nian, this is an out-and-out old man of the Xiao family, or even a retainer of the Xiao family, so Chen Yu asked him to bring a team of white robes to support Xiao Shilian.

The task of the white robe going south was actually to help Xiao Shilian collect some information about Lingnan, and the target was Mrs. Xian, but who knew that two white robes made a mistake and followed the caravan of Baiyue people to the mountain to purchase into Yulin County.
