Chapter 1373: Harvest
() It has been five days since Li Zhongyi attacked Xiuzhou, but he did not attack Hangzhou, the western capital, in one go.
Qian Ru sat on pins and needles, and hurriedly found the ministers to discuss the next countermeasures.
Among the several prime ministers, except for Xu Zaisi, who is a resolute resistant, the other prime ministers even have the intention of simply surrendering.
As a result, money is even more anxious. He knew very well in his heart that everyone else could descend, but if he did, I am afraid that he would not die well.
Li Zhongyi was in the north, not only eyeing the Southern Tang Dynasty, but even crossed the Southern Tang Dynasty and took Wu Yueguo first, which was obviously unexpected out of money.
According to Qian's original idea, as long as the Southern Tang Dynasty is still there, Wu Yueguo's country can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Li thief is easy to play cards according to the card, and he was caught off guard by playing money.
Within two days, Qian fell ill because he was too worried!
Qian fell ill, and the military and people's hearts of the entire Wu Yue Kingdom were also shaken.
Li Zhongyi, who had been watching Xiuzhou for a few days, received a large number of letters from Wu Yue's domestic surrender faction. In addition to the letters, the surrender faction of Wu Yueguo invariably sent people to send beauties with their own characteristics.
What's more, he even sent his son-in-law to Li Zhongyi to serve as a hostage of sincerity.
"Hehe, the tree hasn't fallen yet, the monkeys have dispersed!" Li Zhongyi glanced at the mountain of letters on the bookcase, and joked with a smile.
Han Xianglan noticed that Li Zhongyi was in a very good mood, so she put down the brush in her hand, squatted down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, concubine, the entire Wu Yue Kingdom is about to be at your fingertips!" ”
Li Zhongyi laughed and said: "What is the worry of Wu Yueguo, if the magnates of the Khitan Kingdom send letters of surrender one after another, then I will be really happy." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines thought that there would definitely be a day." Han Xianglan's appearance seems to be more confident than Li Zhongyi.
Han Xianglan knew Li Zhongyi's lofty ambitions, and she had reason to believe that in Li Zhongyi's lifetime, it was likely that she would completely defeat the Khitans and drive them far away.
Li Zhongyi could see that Han Xianglan really believed that he would complete the reunification of the country and drive out the Tartars.
"Okay, when the time comes, I will choose one of my sons to be the king of the steppe." Li Zhongyi teased half-jokingly and half-seriously, but Han Xianglan's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal.
Li Zhongyi was elected as the son of the king of the grassland, and it is definitely impossible to be the crown prince who inherits the country. Then, if Han Xianglan gives birth to a son in the future, she has a good chance of being sent to be the king of the grassland.
Han Xianglan's face changed very quickly, and Li Zhongyi really didn't notice it, but let her dodge.
Since the division of troops in Hangzhou Bay, the soldiers and horses that landed from the south of Hangzhou Bay have been led by Ma Guangda.
According to the battle report that came back the day before yesterday, Ma Guangda had already taken Mingzhou (present-day Ningbo City) and was advancing towards Dongfu (present-day Shaoxing City) of Wu Yueguo.
Ma Guangda's department also has more than a dozen 12-pounder bronze guns and dozens of 6-pounder guns. As long as Ma Guangda is not careless and falls into the trap of the enemy, there is absolutely no possibility of losing the battle.
Li Zhongyi was very cautious in fighting, and Ma Guangda was much more cautious than Li Zhongyi in commanding operations. To put it bluntly, the chance of Ma Guangda falling into the trap is almost zero.
When the Li Jiajun went out to fight, it was always the throat camp that went first, and when Hangzhou Bay divided the troops, Ma Guangda got sixty percent of the throat troops, and if he was ambushed by the enemy, it could only be said that it was providence.
So far, all the battles that Li Zhongyi can win have been won without any suspense. A battle that should not be lost, Li Zhongyi and Li Jiajun have never lost a battle.
Among them, the most effective is actually two major institutions, one is the powerful force of the throat rebuke battalion, and the other is the establishment of the General Staff Department.
is very different from the ranks of feudal warlords, in the quasi-modern Li family's army, as long as the rules of the rules are followed, in fact, who will be the commander of the unified army is not so important.
Of course, Ma Guangda is also a veteran general who followed Li Zhongyi in the southern expedition to the north, he led the troops to fight, and Li Zhongyi had nothing to worry about.
In fact, including Yang Lie, Liao Shanhe, Ma Guangda, Liu Heyang and Song Yunxiang, they will all be consciously appointed by Li Zhongyi as the chief general of the First Army in turn.
It is impossible to build the city of Rome overnight, and the senior commanders and generals of the army, because of the great stakes, really need Li Zhongyi to spend a lot of effort and slowly cultivate them.
To a large extent, the experience of commanding a large corps in combat and a small-scale confrontation is not compatible.
Historically, Bai Qi and Han Xin, who commanded large corps to fight and won repeatedly, were both unborn military geniuses.
In the Li family's army, except for Yang Lie, who is considered a self-taught genius, other generals also need to be tempered to varying degrees.
"Your Majesty, someone from Xifu has come, and he is asking to see him outside the door, it is Wang Danhua, the confidant of Qin Hanzheng, the deputy capital of the Sixth Army of Wu Yueguo."
After Li Zhongyi heard the report, he couldn't help but smile slightly, Wu Yueguo's system and the Qiang Han Dynasty had both similarities and great differences.
In the Li family's army, the top military ranks such as the deputy envoy of the Sixth Army have long been abolished, but in Wu Yueguo, although there is no deputy envoy of the Sixth Army, there is still a name for the deployment of the six armies.
To put it bluntly, the deputy of the six armies is deployed, which is already the highest level in the Wu Yue ** realm. Because, Wu Yue Guozhong has never appointed the deployment of the six armies.
Li Zhongyi still knows a lot about Qin Hanzheng and his person, this person is young and poor, but he has the fate to follow an old monk and learn a skill.
In Qin Hanzheng's military career, the most boastful achievement should be the defeat of Lin Renzhao in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Fujian.
At that time, the Fujian State was in power, and the domestic magnates were divided into three waves, one wave advocated the abolition of the faint monarch and the establishment of a new monarch, one wave advocated taking refuge in Ren Yi's Wu Yue Kingdom, and the other wave advocated simply returning to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Wu Yueguo and the Southern Tang Dynasty sent troops almost at the same time, and the general of Wu Yueguo was Qin Hanzheng.
As a result, due to Qin Hanzheng's good use of troops, he actually defeated Lin Renzhao, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and won most of the Fujian Kingdom, which can be described as an unusually great achievement.
It's just that although Qin Hanzheng is good at using soldiers, he has always been unable to control his mouth, and likes to make irresponsible remarks about the policies set by the country, which is very unpleasant.
Recently, the Qin family has caused a great disaster, and Qin Hanzheng's only son Lu was uneven, and he actually beat Qian Biao, the righteous son of the lord of the country, to death.
Qian was furious and ordered the forbidden army to arrest Qin Hanzheng's only son in the prison, waiting for the sentence to be beheaded.
Li Zhongyi was pondering, and after entering the Western Mansion, he released Qin Hanzheng and asked him to recruit the soldiers and horses of the states of Wu Yueguo.
didn't think about it, Li Zhongyi was suffering from being unable to contact Qin Hanzheng, but Qin Hanzheng took the initiative to find the door, didn't someone bring a pillow just when he wanted to fall asleep?
"Come on, open the middle door, please Mr. Wang West Flower Hall." Li Zhongyi was unusually generous and gave Wang Danhua a very high courtesy.
To put it bluntly, it is not difficult to take down a mere Wu Yue Kingdom, especially when there is a powerful sailor.
However, how to digest Wu Yueguo's territory as soon as possible and smoothly receive his soldiers, horses, money and food is the top priority that Li Zhongyi is most concerned about.
Since Qin Hanzheng took the initiative to come to the door, Li Zhongyi simply gave a very high courtesy, lest Wang Danhua feel neglected, but not beautiful.
When Han Xianglan heard that the middle door was going to be opened to welcome the distinguished guests, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled: "Another heroic figure is about to fall into the emperor's favor, which is really gratifying!" ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, among his women, there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp, Han Xianglan is like this, Ye Xiaolan is the same, as for Li Cuixuan, it is even more smart and frightening.
"Under Wang Danhua, knock to see the emperor."
After Wang Danhua entered the door, what he said was knocking, but in fact, he was only doing a long salute. After all, the conditions of the two sides have not yet been negotiated, everything is still unknown, and it is impossible for Wang Danhua to fall into his own spirit first.
Li Zhongyi smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said very politely: "That's it, Mr. Wang, please take a seat." Come and watch the tea. ”
Wang Danhua was not polite to Li Zhongyi at all, and sat directly on the lower position, as if this place was his own home.
After the maid served tea and melon and fruit snacks, Li Zhongyi asked Wang Danhua with a smile: "I don't know why Mr. Wang came?" ”
Wang Danhua arched his hand and said: "In Xiuzhou, there are two results, one is to send the entire Wuyue country, we are all happy; The second is that it will take at least three and a half years for the emperor to pacify the entire Wuyue Kingdom. ”
As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this, he immediately understood that Wang Danhua was indeed a master, and he had obviously understood the current situation of the Qiang Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue Kingdom.
"I don't know, how did the gentleman teach me?" Li Zhongyi saw that Wang Danhua must have a long speech, so he simply built a ladder for him and let him talk happily at one time.
"Presumably, the emperor didn't think that Wu Yueguo was the ultimate goal when he went south this time, right?" Wang Danhua took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then really started a tirade, "If you are the emperor below, you will not come up with such a strategy." Wu Yue's lord Qian has no ambitions, so he doesn't have to worry about it......"
Li Zhongyi stroked the tea cup with his hand, and listened to Wang Danhua's temperament for more than half an hour, but there was no displeasure at all.
Wang Danhua deliberately said a lot of nonsense, but he saw that Li Zhongyi always listened very carefully, and there was no dislike in the end.
Sure enough, it is a generation of male lords who make the Khitans bend their waists!
After Wang Danhua was tempted, he thought that Li Zhongyi was indeed the hero of the great things, and this time he slowly entered the topic: "The lord of my family has a way to let the emperor easily pacify the border of Wu Yue." ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, and finally served it on the table, he took a sip of tea and quietly waited for Wang Danhua to reveal the mystery.
"There's a question below, I don't know if it's a question or not?" Wang Danhua wanted to sell a pass, but he heard Li Zhongyi say with a smile, "Mr. just ask, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”
"Then may I ask the emperor, what do you think of the Khitan people?" Wang Danhua's sudden question made Li Zhongyi a little unexpected.
