Chapter 691: Ambition skyrockets
Luo Zhaoyun has several candidates in his heart, and the most suitable one is Li Jing, but Li Jing needs to sit in the Hexi Corridor for the time being, ensure the stability of Dunhuang, Zhangye, Xihai and other counties that he has just occupied, and make the rear area peaceful and sound, which is the basis of the Northwest Army and is very important.
The second candidate is Qu Tutong, the old general is close to the age of the sixtieth year, dedicated to the country, loyal to the monarch, suitable for reuse, however, Qu Tutong wants to lead the army back to Daxing City as soon as possible, if sent to a remote place in Bashu, it will make the old general complain, and it is easy to be lobbied by the Li Tang court in the future, which is more dangerous.
Now that Cheng Mingzhen took the initiative to ask for help, Luo Zhaoyun did not doubt his talent and ability, and should be appropriately sent out for reuse.
If you can appoint a strategist to follow, one article and one martial arts, complement each other, and appease Bashu, it is still possible.
Luo Zhaoyun said: "Since Deputy Envoy Cheng has this will to serve the country, Ben Shuai is still very pleased, so let's do it, Su Yu, as the supervisor of the army and the long history of the expedition to the south, as your deputy, make suggestions, and govern civil affairs, you two lead the troops to march to Bashu, focusing on recruiting local tribes, and the heroic team, announcing the new policy of the Northwest Army, and preparing grain and grass for the army. ”
Cheng Mingzhen's face showed joy, and he said excitedly: "Young Marshal Xie is complete, and his subordinates must live up to the expectations of the young marshal." ”
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "Okay, for your talents, Ben Shuai is still at ease, as long as you don't want to, don't be reckless, don't be rash, everything is based on appeasement, and you will definitely be able to open the door of Bashu and open up little by little." ”
"Whoa!" Cheng Mingzhen was excited, clenched his fists to receive his life, he just had the attitude of trying, he didn't expect the young marshal to really agree, he didn't doubt his ability, this kind of trust made him grateful for the grace of knowing it.
Luo Zhaoyun's idea was to let Cheng Mingzhen and Su Yu take the lead, go on the road, implement new strategies, and open up the situation in Bashu.
After Luo Zhaoyun defeated Li Tang's army, he could transfer Li Jing and send him to Bashu, where he swept across the southwest, and then took the opportunity to push along the Yangtze River to the southern anti-king forces of Xiao Liang, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo, and Li Zitong.
And he himself focused on leading troops to deal with Li Tang, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other forces in the north.
Next, he has to face the biggest opponent, which is Li Tang!
Although Luo Zhaoyun has his own advantages and has an additional vision of fifteen hundred years, he lacks the profound accumulation of Li Valve, and Li Yuan, Li Shimin and others all have emperors in history.
"Black powder is my secret weapon against Li Tang, outside the city, let the Li family see the power of science and technology!" Luo Zhaoyun secretly thought in his heart, the secret weapon should be used at a critical time, so as not to be guarded by the Tang army.
………
Luoyang City.
After Wang Shichong opened the spring, he and Li Mi were on the bank of Luoshui outside the city, and they clashed several times, winning and losing, and did not repel the Wagang army, but they also successfully blocked the Wagang army from attacking Luoyang.
Although many generals were dissatisfied with Wang Shichong, a favorite of the Hu blood, they still shocked many generals in the city after he managed the army well, tried his best to deal with the Wagang army, and saved the eastern capital.
Wang Shichong installed his sons and nephews in important departments, and gradually mastered the military power, left and right guards, left and right military guards, left and right martial marquis, left and right Tuntian guards, left and right prison gates, etc., eight mansions and sixteen guards, more than half of which were placed by him in important positions.
As a result, Wang Shichong's voice in Luoyang has increased, and he has a posture of leaning towards the government and the opposition.
Duan Da, Yun Dingxing, Huangfu Wuyi and others also showed favor to Wang Shichong in private, and gradually looked forward to him, which increased Wang Shichong's ambition even more.
Wang Shichong knew the trend of the Great Sui, and was not far from destruction, he mastered the military power at this time, controlled the Eastern Capital, and no longer took the imperial court and Jiangdu Yang Guang to heart, and had the intention of emulating Li Yuan and coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
However, Wang Shichong also knows that his background is not enough, not after Li Yuan's famous family, Li Valve's roots in Guanlong are deep-rooted, and the court is well connected, so he still has some worries and concerns, and he does not dare to rebel for a long time, unless, when Yang Guang dies, Wang Shichong has no psychological pressure, and he dares to control Yang Tong and achieve his political goals.
Shangshu Mansion.
Wang Shichong set up a banquet in the mansion, invited some confidants and military generals, and cousins to discuss matters against Li Mi while eating and drinking.
"Uncle, there are many generals in Li Mi's army, Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Pei Xingyan, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, Bing Yuanzhen, Wang Junkuo, etc., there are too many generals, whether they are leading the army to fight or fighting alone, they are all tiger generals, and our army is hard, and we really can't get cheap." Wang Honglie couldn't help but say.
Wang Shichong nodded slowly, his face showed embarrassment, for Li Mi, he felt tricky, especially the fierce generals under the Wagang army, there were many more generals than in his team, and it was impossible to fight hard, only to outwit.
"Or try to send scouts to blend into the Wagang army, to slander Li Mi, he killed Zhai Rang, slaughtered a lot of people in the old Wagang department, this kind of ingratitude, will make many old Wagang people have thorns in their hearts, affect their military morale. Try to publicize Li Mi's unkindness and arrogance, and when he makes a career in the future, he will definitely die and weaken the cohesion of the Wagang army. ”
The generals nodded, and at present, they can only use yin tricks to deal with the Wagang army, looking for the flaws in Wagang.
General Chen Zhiluo said: "Shangshu, now Li Yuan is the self-proclaimed king of Tang, it is said that in Daxing City, the power leans towards the government and the opposition, controls Yang Yu, and puts his office in the palace, usually Yang Yu is under house arrest, all the power is controlled by Li Yuan, and even he takes some of the concubines in the palace as his own, just like Dong Zhuo back then, why not, Shangshu also please play the king?" ”
"Crowned king?" Wang Shichong's eyes flickered, and he was indeed moved, with his current power in Luoyang, it was enough to mutiny.
But in Luoyang City, after all, there are still many Guanlong nobles and ministers' families, the Jiangdu court has not been completely destroyed, Wang Shichong is suspicious by nature, and he doesn't dare to be too arrogant for the time being, thinking for a while, he still plans to wait for Yang Guang to be killed by the rebels in Jiang, and it is not too late for him to seize power.
