Chapter 754: Gao Lishi Says Matchmaker (1)
February 18, Luoyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Ziliang convened a military meeting to prepare to intensify the pursuit of Li Huaixian and Xie Yuan's troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, to speed up the collection and reorganization of the surrendered troops.
Zhao Ziliang said to the generals: "We must speed up the integration and training of the surrendered troops, for some of the main generals who surrendered, the imperial court has already made arrangements, the new appointment is about to arrive, in addition to the high-level generals, the lower-level officers and military leaders can temporarily stay in their posts, give them a probation period, those who are qualified continue to stay, and those who are not qualified will be transferred to other places, and the matter of the whole training and integration will be handed over to Chen Qing to be fully responsible, and the other generals must be fully responsible, Chen Qing, I will give you two months, and you must complete the reorganization and training of the surrendered troops!" ”
Chen Qing stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, regarding the matter of reorganization and training, our Soldier Training Department has come up with a complete plan, but the number of generals and officers needed for the reorganization and training of these 200,000 people is not a small number, if it is transferred from our Beiting Army, it will inevitably cause the combat strength of the Beiting Army to decline!" ”
This is a big problem, if a general officer is transferred from the Beiting Army to serve as a general officer of the newly reorganized army, it will pull down the combat strength of the Beiting Army, at least in a short period of time.
At this time, Gao Shang stood up and arched his hand and said: "Dashuai, the lower officials have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”
Zhao Ziliang smiled: "Mr. is not an outsider, what is there not to talk about?" Please come on! ”
Gao Shang said: "Now the marshal is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and has full authority to preside over counterinsurgency matters, and all soldiers and horses are actually subject to the control of the marshal, this military power has reached the extreme, and the court and the emperor have no other way, but the marshal can't help but be ashamed of His Holiness, in this reorganization and training, especially on the issue of the 200,000 leading generals and colonels at all levels, the lower officials think that the marshal should take the initiative to seek the opinions of the emperor and the court!" No matter what others say, if the marshal takes the initiative in this matter, at least the emperor can rest assured that if the marshal appoints these 200,000 generals and officers at all levels, it is actually equivalent to integrating these 200,000 people into the Beiting Army, so that the establishment of the Beiting Army is too huge, more than 30 kings and horses, enough to run rampant in the world, anyone who is the emperor will be uneasy, and the marshal should look at this problem from a different angle! Even if the appointment of these 200,000 generals at all levels is handed over to the imperial court and the emperor, no matter who will lead these 200,000 people, with the talent and authority of the commander, it will be enough for them to bow down and obey orders, and it will not affect the great cause of counterinsurgency! ”
When Gao Shang said this, the hall suddenly fell silent, this issue is too sensitive, the issue of military power has always been the most sensitive, and the school officials held their breath and did not dare to speak.
Zhao Ziliang involuntarily stood up, looked noble, and then clenched his fists deeply: "Mr. Dacai, if it wasn't for Mr. to remind him, Ziliang almost made a big mistake again, please accept Ziliang's worship!" ”
Gao Shang hurriedly stepped aside and said: "The handsome man tortured me, Gao just did what he should do, if Gao can't even remind the big man of this kind of thing, how can he be considered conscientious?" ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time, returned to his seat and sat down, and asked Chen Qing: "How did you decide on the establishment of these 200,000 horses?" ”
Chen Qingdao: "Taking the establishment of each army of our Beiting Army as a reference, roughly 12,800 people per army, these 200,000 people can be reorganized into 12 armies, and there are still 46,000 people left who can be used as reserve soldiers to train while standby. ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, Ben Shuai agrees to this reorganization plan!" You first transfer the deputy positions of generals and colonels at all levels from the Beiting Army to temporarily take over these soldiers and horses, and let them reorganize and train these soldiers and horses. Ben Shuai immediately sent a letter to the imperial court, asking the emperor and the imperial court to decide on the appointment of the 200,000 commanders and generals at all levels, and then hand them over to be responsible after the people sent by the imperial court and the emperor arrived! ”
Chen Qing clenched his fists and promised: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said again: "This is the first thing, let's talk about the first thing, we have just collected Yin Ziqi's 300,000 horses, and defeated Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong, but the cities around Luoyang are basically still controlled by the rebels, although there are not many rebels entrenched in each city, as many as three thousand, as little as three or five hundred, but these cities are still in the hands of the rebels after all, and we will recover these cities next!" Mr. Gao, Ben Shuai has always asked you to preside over this matter with full authority, let Li Sheng lead the left army, let Zhao Ting lead the rear army, they cooperate with you, what do you think? ”
Gao Shang hurriedly said: "Marshal, the lower official is a civilian official, and he doesn't understand military affairs, how can he command the army to fight?" No, no, the lower officials can't do it, the handsome man should choose another talent! ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao has also served as my counselor in military affairs, you don't have to be modest, you don't need to personally lead the troops to fight, you only need to formulate a combat strategy, and the two of them will implement it, you are directly responsible for this matter to me, you don't need to report to others, if there is anything that is not easy to do, you come to me, I will solve it for you!" ”
Gao Shang hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "This ・・・・・・ okay, since the marshal trusts him, the subordinate is afraid to accept this military order!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, and instructed Li Sheng and Zhao Ting: "I and Mr. Gao's words, you two have heard it, from now on, you follow Mr. Gao's orders, recover the surrounding cities as quickly as possible, and eliminate the rebel forces!" ”
The two stood up and hugged their fists and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”
Zhao Ziliang raised three fingers again and said: "Now let's talk about the third thing, the pursuit of Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong cannot be stopped, now Li Huaixian's department has withdrawn to Xingyang, and Xie Yuantong has withdrawn to Yingchang, Li Siye took the Chinese army and 50,000 horses to chase Xie Yuantong's department, and Chu Ge also approached Xingyang with the front army and 50,000 horses!" Wang Can, you are the person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, you can tell me about Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong's situation! ”
Wang Can stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Qiqi Marshal, Li Huaixian and Xie Yuan's troops have wantonly plundered the towns and villages along the way on the way to escape, and there are no chickens and dogs left and no grass grows everywhere they pass!" These two also ordered Zhuangding to join the gang, and now Li Huaixian's department has reached 40,000 horses, and Xie Yuan's department has also reached 30,000! ”
"Touch" Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and said angrily: "These two bastards should be cut with a thousand knives!" Pass on my orders: First, a reward will be offered to the heads of Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong, each with a reward of 1,000 gold, no matter who kills any of them, they can get a thousand gold and be promoted to the third level! Second, order Li Siye and Chu Ge to speed up the pursuit, not to give Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong a chance to breathe, as long as they catch up with them, they will immediately lead their troops to attack! ”
"No!"
Zhao Ziliang said to Gao Miao, Li Qincao and other generals who followed Gao Shang to surrender in Luoyang: "General Gao, General Li and all the generals who surrendered with Mr. Gao in Luoyang, your new appointment is coming soon, and your original soldiers and horses will also be reorganized and trained, you have no opinion on this, right?" What can be asked! ”
Gao Miao, Li Qincao and the others got up and hugged their fists and said: "We don't have any requirements, everything is subject to the dispatch of the marshal and the imperial court!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, this matter is settled!" That's all for today's meeting, so let's all go back and take your responsibilities. ”
"The last general (lower official) and others will retire!" The generals and officials stood up one after another, clasped their fists and saluted and left.
Not long after the generals left, Wang Wei walked in from outside and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Marshal, the emperor sent Gao Lishi to announce the decree!" ”
"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang put down the official document and asked, "Do you know what the content is?" ”
Wang Weidao: "The marshal has just led the army to restore Tokyo, and he has also surrendered 300,000 rebel soldiers and horses, this is an unprecedented victory, and the holy decree should be the emperor's reward!" ”
Zhao Ziliang got up and said, "Come on, open the middle door to welcome the envoy!" ”
After Gao Lishi was welcomed in, he read out the emperor's reward in front of all the officials of the Marshal's Mansion in the lobby, because Zhao Ziliang was already a lieutenant and had the title of the king of Jiangling County, so he was almost unsealed in terms of official position, military title, and position, so this time the reward was given to his family, and Chen Qingying, a large person, was canonized as the lady of the first order. It is already the most honorable thing for the minister's main room to be canonized as the lady of the first grade.
After Gao Lishi finished reading the holy decree, Zhao Ziliang led the generals and officials to bow down and said: "Weichen thank the emperor, long live my emperor!" ”
After receiving the holy decree, Zhao Ziliang said to Gao Lishi: "Father-in-law Gao, please take a seat, Zhao also wants to ask Gonggong Gao about the recent situation of His Majesty and the concubine Niangniang, as well as the affairs of the court!" ”
Gao Lishi smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”
The officials and generals present also found their own places to sit down, and the subordinates quickly brought tea to entertain them.
Zhao Ziliang knew that Gao Lishi came to deliver the decree in person, and there must be other things, otherwise to send a holy decree, there was no need to let Gao Lishi come, it may be that the emperor had something else to ask Gao Lishi to tell him, so he took the initiative to leave Gao Lishi behind.
"Grandpa Gao, please drink tea!" Zhao Ziliang picked up the teacup and said to Gao Lishi, and then asked, "Father-in-law Gao, Your Majesty's dragon body is still tough, right?" ”
Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a little older after all, and his energy is not as good as before, but the dragon body is still healthy, and there is Lao Zhao Dashuai to worry about!" ”
"It is right for people to worry about Your Majesty's dragon body as a courtier! The court is still stable, Zhao has not been in the court for a long time, and I don't know what the situation of the court is now, and whether there are major changes in personnel? ”
Gao Lishi said: "Now that the enemy is present, the ministers of the DPRK and China are all people of insight, unprecedentedly united and harmonious, the commander does not have to worry, the money and food needed by the army will be delivered on time, and the soldiers will not be hungry!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "That's good!" This time, Grandpa Gao came to announce the decree in person, I don't know why? The general proclamation shouldn't need to be done by Gonggong Gao himself, right? ”
Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Yes, the old slave was sent by His Majesty, on the one hand, to pass the decree, and on the other hand, to discuss two things with Zhao Dashuai!" ”
Zhao Ziliang hugged his fists and said: "Listen to me!" (To be continued.) )
