"Fourth, send someone to Chang'an and reach an agreement with Li Shimin that no war will be allowed within three years, and as for the terms of the peace agreement, it can be drawn up slowly, and if he does not agree, if necessary, some means can be adopted."

"Fifth, this king decided to hand over the 330,000 horses in his hands, including the most elite 250,000, to the rule of Mr. Zhuge Can, and enshrined Zhuge Can as the chief military division; It is specially responsible for going out to fight and managing all the military in Huainan and Henan. Secondly, the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the soldiers and horses of Huainan, Henan and other counties and counties, were handed over to Li Hengguoxiang to rule, mainly responsible for garrisoning and defending Huainan, Henan and other places, and in charge of the military and internal affairs of various places. ”

"These five points must be implemented immediately without delay."

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that in an instant, Zhou Gandang's head would be so sober and he would say so many words. After they reacted, they all got up and responded: "I'll obey the order." ”

It wasn't until this moment that Zhou Gandang found a sense of security. When he was in Xiliang before, he was scared all day long, but now there are hundreds of cities, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and generals such as Li Heng, Zhuge Can, A Guduo, Lu Yang, etc., he can finally sleep well.

Xiliang, Jincheng.

Since the capture of Jincheng, it has been three months in the blink of an eye.

In these three months, great changes have taken place in the Central Plains, and great changes have also taken place in Xiliang.

First of all, Luo Yi has brought the location of his office to Jincheng, from now on, Jincheng is his capital, the economic and political center, and all military orders must be issued from here.

As for Longxi, Luo Yi has already appointed a county guard, but it is all temporary, and when Xiliang is completely stabilized in the future, it will definitely have to be replaced.

And in these three months, a total of seven counties in Xiliang, including Suzaku, Qinglong, and White Tiger, were all controlled and occupied.

At this point, Xiliang has really become Luo Yi's.

Next, as long as the garrisons in various places are replaced, and then reliable officials are lined up to govern, Xiliang will take on a new look and enter a new historical journey.

"Xiliang has finally been captured, which is really gratifying."

Early in the morning, in the meeting hall, everyone gathered, Luo Yi said with a smile: "Xiliang is initially decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, the six ministries and the military and political departments must perform their own affairs, do their own work, and strive to completely stabilize the situation in Xiliang before the Chinese New Year." ”

"Zhang Wancheng."

"Humble duty." Zhang Wancheng stood up.

Luo Yi said: "You are the secretary of the ministry, among the six departments, it is particularly important, all over Xiliang, hundreds of officials, large and small, all need to be appointed by you, as well as Xiqiang and Xueyu, you also have to send people to govern, your responsibility is very heavy." ”

Zhang Wancheng said: "My lord, please rest assured, the lowly will arrange everything." ”

"Okay."

Luo Yi sat down and asked, "Do you still have anything to do?" ”

"My lord, there will be something at the end." On the left side of the lobby, Solo Fei stood out.

Luo Yi said: "It's a solo flight, aren't you stationed in Surabaya Lake, why did you go back to Jincheng?" ”

Shan Fei said: "Lord, the military of Surabaya Lake, the last general has been arranged, and it will not be in the way." ”

"You just said that you have something to say, what is it?"

Shan Fei said: "My lord, now that Wuyang County has been captured, and the life channel connecting my Surabaya Lake to the Yangtze River has been opened, can we open up the road between them and open up a new river?" Or, our naval army is stationed directly on the Yangtze River. ”

Luo Yi has also been thinking about this matter for several days.

In the long run, it is necessary to develop the naval army to the Yangtze River, which can better defend Xiliang, expand Xiliang's territory, river resources, and so on.

However, how much it will cost during this period is immeasurable.

"Let the six ministries agree on this matter."

"Nope. Lord, if it is handed over to the six departments, they will push it around, and I don't know how long it will take, it is urgent to expand the water army, so please ask the lord to decide. ”

Flying solo is not relenting.

When the officials of the six ministries heard this, they were all slightly angry. What do you mean by pushing around? Didn't you say that the officials of the six ministries were clearly speaking?

Luo Yi smiled bitterly, looked at Zhang Wancheng and said, "Lord Zhang, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Wancheng said: "Lord, I don't think this is possible. ”

"Why?"

Zhang Wancheng said: "Our army has won a great victory in Xiliang, showing a strong military force to all forces, in a few years, whether it is Li Shimin or Zhou Gandang, they dare not be our enemy, control the Yangtze River, but not in a hurry." If we go to open up the ten-mile-long river at this time, it will be a waste of labor and money, and it is not conducive to the stability and counterdevelopment of our Xiliang. ”

"Sun Jian, what about you? What do you think? ”

Luo Yi continued to ask.

Sun Jian came out of the ranks, thought for a while, and said: "In the long run, we should indeed open up the river and establish our powerful naval army, which will help us control the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and prepare for the march into Jiangnan and Jiangdong, but now that Xiliang has just recovered, its strength is still weak, and we should focus on developing internal affairs. ”

Luo Yi continued to ask two officials of the Sixth Ministry, all of whom were opposed.

Shan Fei trembled angrily, and said bluntly: "What do you know? How can the training of the navy be completed overnight? If you don't do it now, will you have to wait for the big war to start in the future, and then you will temporarily cram? ”

"Humph! Ladies and gentlemen, don't just say anything because you are prejudiced against Ben. ”

"You..." The officials were dumbfounded.

"Alright, don't make any noise."

Luo Yi said: "No one opposes the expansion of the navy, what you are arguing about is nothing more than when to expand; Now that Xiliang has just recovered, it stands to reason that there should be no large-scale construction and expansion of the naval army, and there is no need to rush for a while.... ”

Before he finished speaking, Shan Fei said with a bitter face: "Lord, this..." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

Luo Yi continued: "However, what General Shan said is not unreasonable. Judging from the map, Qinglong Pass and Baihu Pass, we can block the Tang army, but Wuyang County is easy to attack and difficult to defend, if there is no water army to contain it, once Zhou Gandang and Li Shimin fight from Jiangnan, Huainan and other places, the situation is not favorable to us. Therefore, I am very much in favor of expanding the water army. ”

"Ministry of Works."

"The minister is here." Zhu Ru stood up.

Luo Yi said: "This matter will be left to you to handle, organize manpower, let those who surrender to the army, the big families who have committed crimes, and the prisoners in the prison cells dig the river, and at the same time notify the local government to actively cooperate, especially the household department, the silver taels required must not be delayed." ”

Wang Youcheng and Zhu Ru responded in unison: "No." ”

Shan Fei was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Thank you, lord." ”

************

On this day, the weather was clear and cloudless.

Luo Yi and Pan Long took five thousand wolf cavalry to the hunting grounds in the suburbs.

The so-called hunting ground, which was originally expanded by Zhou Gan as an order, was used for hunting, in Jincheng Nanshan, extremely large, Luo Yi has sent people to inspect, the most suitable for training troops like the wolf cavalry.

Because there are many mountains and rocks, there are all kinds of terrain, and it is completely possible to simulate any battlefield.
