Looking at the more than 300 young men with different heights, fat and thin, but all of them with green faces, Li Qing looked at the people around him with puzzled faces and said softly: "Maybe many of you don't understand why this king has to go to such great lengths to gather these young children, what's the use? ”

Here this king solemnly announced the establishment of the White Tiger Guard, for the training of outstanding officers for Jiannan Dao, Jiannan Dao if he wants to develop in the long run, this king wants to completely master Jiannan Dao without the hands of others, but also with the help of these young children in front of him!

Probably understanding what Li Qing meant, Liu Ran pointed to the ignorant teenagers in front of him who seemed to be about ten years old, looked at Li Qing in front of him and said with a smile: "Your Highness, doesn't you want to train these young children, and one day take over the border generals who hold a lot of power to guard all sides?" ”

After seeing Li Qing nodding, after being silent for a moment, Liu Ran continued to speak: "Those side generals hold heavy power in their hands, and their eyes are above the top, if they can train some people to replace them, they can indeed let His Highness completely control Jiannan Dao, and these young children will definitely be loyal to His Highness in the future!" ”

"But has Your Highness ever thought that when these young children grow up, it will take seven or eight years at most, or five years at least, not to mention the financial, material and energy spent during this period, can Your Highness be able to wait for these times alone?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ran changed his words and expressed his deep doubts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He sighed and said slowly: "This king is still very young now, so why wait for him for a few years?" In fact, this king doesn't know that there are many ways to subdue the military power of Jiannan Dao, and according to my method, it is the slowest method to achieve results.

But I know best that if we want to solve the current dilemma of Jiannan Dao, this method is the one that can really eradicate everything. Since entering Jiannan Road for more than a month, this king does not know that Jiannan Road looks calm, but in fact it is turbulent, adjacent to Tubo and Nanzhao, and the territory of Jiannan Road is scattered with small countries and tribes, and the decrees of the imperial court are very implemented in the locality.

Over the years, because the focus of our dynasty is in the northwest and northeast, seven or eight out of ten soldiers and horses in the world are concentrated in the north, which has also led to an unprecedented weakness of the defense force of the Nanzhao, and it is precisely because of this that the Nanzhao no longer has the respect for our dynasty during the Kaiyuan period.

Of course, the most hateful is still Tubo, presumably with Nanzhao, Tubo is the only real power in the eastern countries that can compete with our dynasty for hegemony, Tubo army hundreds of thousands, coupled with its unique geographical climate, soldiers from other countries simply can not stay in its territory longer, so it directly leads to the fact that Tubo can directly participate in the war compared with other countries more than I don't know how much.

Moreover, although Jiannan Province has been subordinate to the Central Plains since ancient times, the Tubo State has never concealed its ambition to annex Jiannan Province since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the people of Tubo have always wanted to turn Jiannan Province into its western province and become a granary for the Tubo people.

What's even more hateful is that those generals who guard the border in Jiannan Road, who eat Junlu but don't think about state affairs, fight their own battles, don't know how to help each other, and even more so, they loot the people's fat and ointment, and squeeze the military salaries of the imperial court.

Although he already had a lot of high regard for the young man in front of him, Liu Ran didn't expect that the young man in front of him would have the energy to send people to investigate those border generals in addition to the duel with Xian Yu Zhongtong, Liu Ran clearly knew that the news that the young man in front of him said, if he hadn't investigated for more than a month, he would never have gotten such a comprehensive message.

In addition to having a father who guards the generals, with Xian Yu Zhongtong's attention to himself, Liu Ran, who has been in and out of the yamen all the year round, can also understand a thing or two about the means of collecting money for those border generals, but only one or two.

At this moment, the young man in front of him can be reconciled, how can he not let Liu Ran admire? Knowing that the young man in front of him was playing a big game of chess, Liu Ran had no intention of dissuading, and was still wondering that it was impossible for the young man in front of him to control those frontiers with the methods he saw, but at present, he was shallow.

In fact, the reason why Li Qing chose to train a group of young generals was not only to control the army, but also to deal with the Anshi Rebellion that was launched by An Lushan ten years later and pulled the entire Tang Dynasty into the abyss.

At that time, Jiannan Dao is bound to face the embarrassing situation of lack of success, although Li Qing has been committed to cultivating young generals, but thousands of troops are easy to obtain, a general is hard to find, Li Qing prides himself on not knowing the hero's Bole, how difficult is it to find a large number of outstanding young generals?

It is extremely reluctant to be able to search for Liu Ran and Mu Fan, and it is obviously not obvious that Mu Liu and the others will deal with the turmoil ten years later, although they have shown talent for generals, but they have obviously not reached the point where they can turn the tide and support the building to the point where they will fall.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Li Qing chose to train these young generals, and when the Anshi Rebellion broke out, that is, when they really grew up and spread their wings and soared, they who had been carefully cultivated by Li Qing would definitely be able to take charge of themselves, and at that time, Li Qing would have the confidence to fight to the death with An Lushan with them.

Of course, Li Qing naturally won't say these plans. At this moment, if you rashly shouted at the few people in front of you: Ten years later, An Lushan, who is now in the midst of heavy troops, will raise troops to rebel. "Surely no one believed it.

Don't talk about others, even An Lushan himself at this moment may not have any intention of rebelling, although it is said that An Lushan's heavy troops are now in me, but the world is a big festival so that An Lushan only wears two handsome seals, although Fan Yang's soldiers and horses are elite, but they are not invincible in the world at this moment, not to mention anything else, just Shuo Fang, Longyou's strong pawn, and Anxi Iron Cavalry are enough to compete with Fan Yang's elite soldiers.

And everyone's ambition is directly proportional to their status, the higher the status, the greater the corresponding ambition, An Lushan is a smart person, he understands very well that his current status simply cannot support him to shake the Tang Dynasty.

According to Li Qing's conjecture, An Lushan's real ambition to conquer the world should be after he concurrently served as the envoy of the Three Towns Festival and was named the king of the Northeast County.

After realizing that he was thinking too far, Li Qing turned to look at the group of children in front of him, as if he saw hope, laughed and asked loudly, "Do you know why you are here?" ”

After a moment of silence, one of the bold toddlers replied, "Because, because there is no food, there are ・・・・・ and there are people, and we are here." ”

Li Qing didn't think it was funny, and replied very frankly, after all, they were all ten-year-olds and eleven-year-old children, and it was obviously unrealistic to tell them a big truth.

Looking at the children in front of him, Li Qing saw the shadow of Xuanye from them, but compared to them, Xuanye's face was a little more resolute than what they should have at their age, and at this moment they were as pure as a blank sheet of paper, allowing others to carve them.

It is precisely because of this that Li Qing is very satisfied, because this also means that Li Qing can give them as much as possible with their knowledge and skills, they are like a clean container, and Li Qing is completely in charge of what he wants.
