Li Zhongyi originally planned to personally lead the Guards, board a ship and detour to the back road of the Khitans, and go to fight against Caogu again.

However, the senior generals present did not agree, saying that everyone had different opinions, in short, there was only one thing: the king cannot take risks lightly!

"The Lord is the Lord of all gold, how can he easily venture into danger?"

"Lord, if you can trust your subordinates, let your subordinates go to the grass valley for you, right?"

"Mountain Chief, please forgive the students for the crime of disrespect, the students think that in the autumn of this strategic decisive battle, in order to boost the morale and morale of the army, you should sit in the Chinese army and command the soldiers to destroy the Khitans."

With Li Zhongyi's high prestige in the army, he was opposed by so many people, and this is the first time that a big girl has sat in a sedan chair!

However, this objection is not the other's objection!

Li Zhongyi can completely understand the importance that his subordinates attach to his security issues, after all, after destroying the Fu family's army, except for the careerists hiding in the shadows, the entire Great Zhou is already the world of the Li family.

Seeing that victory is in sight, everyone has the idea of sealing their wives and sons, how can they let Li Zhongyi go to danger lightly?

In case Li Zhongyi makes a mistake, his sons are still young, and the huge rivers and mountains will definitely appear again in the situation of the lord and the country.

Even, it is very likely that the entire Li family army will split into several forces, forming a scuffle with each other's masters.

How to say it, today's Li Jiajun is not only an iron army forged by Li Zhongyi himself, but also a huge vested interest group headed by Li Zhongyi.

Objectively speaking, Li Jiajun, a vested interest group, can only be loyal to Li Zhongyi at present. Except for Li Zhongyi, no one can pinch Li Jiajun into a whole and unify it with the outside world.

Based on this, all the senior generals of the Li family's army, except for Yang Lie, who did not express their position, all opposed Li Zhongyi in an extremely fierce position.

"Bai Xing, what do you think?" Li Zhongyi was very helpless in his heart, and seeing that Yang Lie had never said anything, he simply called him by name.

Yang Lie raised his head and arched his hand: "The student is willing to go behind enemy lines." "It's still as concise as ever, straight to the point, no nonsense.

Yang Lie's speech greatly encouraged the heavy generals, and everyone came forward to support Yang Lie to lead his troops to carry out the task of harassment behind enemy lines by boat.

In Li Jiajun, when it comes to the command of land infantry battles, objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi is not ranked in the top three.

However, when it comes to a deep understanding of the tactics of the naval division, Li Zhongyi ranks himself second, including Zhao Laoyi, the deputy commander of the naval division, no one dares to call him the first.

"Lord, at this time of decisive battle, if you are in charge of the Chinese army, your morale will definitely rise." Liao Shanhe jumped out in time and tried his best to persuade him.

Ma Guangda couldn't sit still, and quickly came out of the ranks, beating his chest and saluting, while persuading: "Lord, there is Zhao Laoqi in command on the side of the water master, you can trust it." ”

"yes, yes......"

"Zhao Laoqi is known as the sea Jiao, whether it is water-based or the ability to command the sailors to fight, they are all well-known......"

Li Zhongyi was a little helpless, but he knew very well in his heart that as the higher his status and the heavier his authority, the distance between him and the command post of the former enemy became farther and farther away.

"Okay, just order Yang Bai to be handsome, lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, board the ship and fight randomly." No matter how high Li Zhongyi's prestige was, he couldn't stand the hard persuasion of the generals, so he had to let Yang Lie take on the duty of harassment and warfare.

"The Lord is wise."

"There is no greater holiness than the Lord."

"Our army will win."

Li Zhongyi took a step back, and the generals followed with a sigh of relief, and for a while, the sound of chanting in the tent was like a surging river, endless.

There is no way, today's Li Zhongyi is carrying the future and future of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Li family's army, and no one dares to neglect his safety.

In today's Great Zhou, there are several powerful forces on the basic plate, one is the feudal town, the second is the Wenchen group, the third is the veteran Xungui group, and the interest group expanded by Li Jiajun.

Among these four forces, the Li Jiajun group has the shortest time, but it is the most powerful group in terms of force. In layman's terms, the Li Jiajun group has become the largest ruling group in the Great Zhou Dynasty and enjoys the most generous dividends.

In terms of vitality, the group of administrative officials separated from the Li Jiajun group is also an extremely powerful force, including the state and county inspection envoys, Tingzheng, and Cunzheng.

At present, there are 300 military prefectures, more than 1,000 counties, more than 3,000 pavilions, and nearly 20,000 administrative villages in the whole country.

At present, there are more than 4,000 villages in which Li Jiajun's army has been planted to the end, accounting for only one-fifth of all village-level political power.

In a small-scale peasant society, the county governments at the grassroots level have three main responsibilities: one is to collect taxes, the second is to levy and pay forced labor, and the third is to maintain law and order.

The original management system, according to the logic of setting up a county for 10,000 people, will eventually lead to the number of servants in the yamen, so that it will become a disaster.

Therefore, in Li Zhongyi's plan, the withdrawal of prefectures and counties, and the withdrawal of villages and pavilions will be implemented in depth sooner or later. It's just that the country has not yet been completely reunified, and Li Zhongyi is not easy to do for the time being.

As the saying goes, blocking people's financial or official fortunes is more hateful than killing parents. Before Li Zhongyi completely grasps the world, it is impossible to act blindly, this is the basic political common sense that a qualified politician should have!

However, the more than 4,000 villages that have only been mastered so far are already the most essential part of the entire Great Zhou. In other words, most of the areas with a lot of people, more money, and more food fell into the hands of Li Zhongyi.

The state and county general judges, the state and county soldiers and horses, the state and county inspection envoys, the pavilion and the village officials, and the officer corps in the regular army, these people are the backbone of Li Zhongyi's rule of the world.

Li Zhongyi's adventurous plan, which was collectively discouraged by the officer corps, was not only helpless, but also open-minded in brainstorming.

With Li Zhongyi's unbreakable authority in the army, what he really wants to do, all the members of the officer corps together can't stop his determination.

After the decision was made, Yang Lie led 30,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, to Duliukou day and night.

Duliukou, located in the territory of present-day Tianjin, that is, near Duliu Town, Jinghai District, is named after the South Canal, Ziya River and Daqing River in the Haihe River Basin where they converge into a single river.

From Duliukou to the west, the river narrows, and even if it is full of sea vessels, it is likely to be threatened by the rockets and crossbows on the shore.

Therefore, the General Staff Department ordered Zhao Laoqi to lead the naval division and only advance to Duliukou, where the river is wide and directly enters the sea, which is a wise move in line with military common sense.

After Yang Lie left, Li Zhongyi, as usual, handed over the command of the whole army to Liao Shanhe, and he himself was in the room of the General Staff Department, holding a tea cup, smiling and admiring the scene of the senators quarreling.
