Pei Min's personality can't be idle, and if it doesn't sound good, it's a workaholic.

Although he himself does not admit it, it is by nature.

Let him sleep peacefully in bed, let him enjoy in the spring sun, he can't stay for a moment.

Rather than resting when he doesn't do anything, he prefers to practice calligraphy, read books, and practice swords.

Now Li Longji has given him great power and made him the number one leader in the military and politics of Hexi.

Obviously when he showed his talents, he was stuck at home due to injury, passively listening to one report after another, which made him itch.

I've been idle for nearly two months, and I can't sit still.

Begin to go to the Governor's Mansion to deal with some important official business, so as not to be too bored.

On this day, there was another good news from Chang'an, Zhang Xiaosong was acquitted!

Under Pei Min's guarantee, Yushitai dropped the charges against Zhang Xiaosong, and he was released as innocent.

After getting the news, Pei Min personally took Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Zhilian, Wang Wei, and Li Bai to pick up Zhang Xiaosong.

Zhang Xiaosong finally saw Li Bai, the immortal who was in his heart, and his excited eyes lit up.

Although Li Bai is young, his poetry has long been recognized by the public, especially He Zhizhang's sentence of a drop immortal, which directly pushed Li Bai's talent to the Tang Dynasty poetry circle, letting the world know that there is such a person.

Li Bai responded very politely, he was arrogant by nature, but he still had some respect for Zhang Xiaosong, an outstanding figure who had outstanding military achievements and paid equal attention to civil and military affairs.

Zhang Xiaosong's release from prison is a great joy for Pei Min.

Even if he was injured, he did not delay the planning of the Hexi Army.

It's just that his territory is missing a piece and he hasn't started to act.

Until Zhang Xiaosong was released from prison, he knew it was time.

When he was picking up the wind and washing the dust for Zhang Xiaosong, he had already asked people to go to Xizhou and Shazhou to invite Feng Changqing and Cui Xiyi to Guzang.

When the two arrived, Pei Min and the conference room of the Governor's Mansion officially held a military meeting.

There are only two topics for the meeting, one is military discipline and the other is joint defense.

Pei Min has always regarded himself as a soldier since he abandoned literature and joined the military.

This is also the fulfillment of a childhood dream of his.

In later generations, his grandfather was a veteran, the kind that went through the Long March, and his father also served as a soldier and worked on the railroad all the time.

At that time, the treatment and benefits of being a soldier were excellent, so when Pei Jingyuan was young, he longed to be a soldier like his grandfather and father.

Even when I went to college, times changed. The benefits of joining the army are far worse than before, and coming out of the army is equivalent to unemployment.

But Pei Jingyuan's life plan for him is still ready to be a soldier for a few years first, hone and hone himself, and then go to society and start his own life.

It's just that before graduating from college, Pei Min inexplicably came to ancient times and came to the Tang Dynasty.

In this glorious era, he became a townside handsome.

In Pei Min's eyes, a soldier is a kind of glory, and only a soldier with the glory of faith can be self-disciplined, invincible, and invincible.

An undisciplined and lawless ruffian, even if he has extraordinary combat effectiveness, he is not pleased.

At the same time, I also believe that only iron discipline can build an iron army.

A military meeting at the highest level of the Hexi Army.

"Freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without looting, this is not a slogan, it is a requirement! As a soldier, the butcher's knife can never be pointed at his own people, this is the bottom line that can never be touched, whoever commits it will die......"

Pei Min tapped the table with his left hand and said, "If the army is not strict, it will not be right; The general is not right, and the soldiers will not obey. 'Seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings' is the basic, not only soldiers, but you, including the generals, must be strict and practical. I can't stand the fact that the army is not strong in combat, but I can't stand an army that ignores military law and military discipline. I have never felt that an army that cannot even maintain basic discipline can have any great merit and what kind of combat effectiveness it can have. I want you to remember this, military discipline always comes first. ”

"The three of you are the only three generals in Hexi who have autonomy, and after you go back, according to my requirements, you will implement the military discipline of the Hexi Army for me. It's not a request, it's an order! I believe in my vision, you are my chosen and capable enough to meet my requirements. ”

Feng Changqing is the person who has followed Pei Min for the longest time, so it is naturally meaningless.

Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi had also heard that Pei Min was strict in governing the army, but they didn't expect that they would be so serious, so they specially called them over and emphasized military discipline in person.

The two glanced at each other, and they both understood that if they wanted to do a good job under Pei Min, military discipline must not be sloppy.

They are all smart people, they know what to do and where to start, and they all echo it.

Pei Min wanted this effect, and said: "Next, what I want to talk about is joint defense. ”

When Pei Min said the word "joint defense", Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi glanced at each other again, and they could literally understand the meaning.

However, at this time, the Tang Dynasty did not have a regional joint defense, and basically abided by its duties and duties.

When the enemy comes, if you can block it, you can block it, and if you can't stop it, you will stick to it and ask for support.

According to the regulations, soldiers of all states are not allowed to enter non-own defense areas without authorization.

Joint defense is a way they have never thought of.

"You are all people who know soldiers, so you naturally know the truth that soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent. Rules, this thing should be obeyed, and what needs to be strained, it should be strained......"

As he spoke, he took out a large map of Hexi, threw it to Feng Changqing, and let him hang it up.

Now he is one-armed Yang Guo, and it is inconvenient to do this.

"If you look at the map, Yizhou is located in the northwest of Hexi, bordering the grassland tribes and relying on Qarluq. Xizhou is located at the gateway of the Western Regions, connecting Tuqishi in the west, Shazhou is located between Yizhou and Xizhou, and is next to Tibet in the south. I have never looked at horse thieves in my eyes, and I believe in your ability to deal with small horse thieves. What we have to guard against is the country, and our opponent is not a thief, but a powerful Qarluq, Turgish, and the old enemy Tibet. Although they are not currently hostile to us, we must remember the words "if you forget to fight, you will be in danger". ”

"No matter which country or tribe they are, if they want to threaten Hexi, they must pass through the area under your jurisdiction. The strength of your forces alone is not enough to defend against any of them, but the strength of the three states is different...... Once you form a strategic joint defense, you will support each other and supply each other. Undoubtedly, with the least number of troops, the pressure on the three sides of Qarluq, Turgish, and Tubo was restricted! ”

"We are all our own people, we should cooperate with each other, through joint defense, deepen the tacit understanding of practice, instead of sweeping the snow in front of the door and only caring about our own defense ......"

Looking at Pei Min's joint defense plan, Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi suddenly realized that Pei Minyun's light hand protected two-thirds of the borders of the seven states in Hexi.

Only three people were used, and the soldiers and horses of the three states were ......
