What is the situation of the Guiyi Army, what is Cao Yijin's plan, at the moment Li Congjing does not care too much, Helong is mixed, almost a foreign place, Li Congjing has very little understanding of it, and now the new policy of the empire is being implemented, the internal affairs are to be stabilized, Meng Zhixiang has the heart of Sima Zhao, Shu is turbulent, Li Congjing has no distraction.

As far as the current situation is concerned, on the grasslands in the north of the empire, there are still groups of heroes, although the Khitan is said to be greatly injured and unable to look south, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is still not tolerated, and Yelu Deguang is thriving in the east, and there is a great tendency to resurrect, and it must not be overlooked, in addition, after Yelu Bei succeeded to the throne as the Khitan Emperor, he made great efforts to govern the country, and his ambition grew, and he also had the idea of attacking the Quartet and wanting to inherit the great cause of Yelu Abaoji.

The Tatar Tubak Khan, just the posture of a middle-of-the-roader, although the princess Ahri gives people a sense of brightness, after all, the female generation, just like Yelumin, can hold part of the real power, but can not really control the state apparatus.

The only thing that makes people worry is probably only the Bohai Kingdom. Now Haidong Shengguo has the image of Zhongxing, some time ago the Ming Dynasty sent tribute, and the respect and humility were very measured, which made Li Siyuan very happy. As for whether the Bohai Kingdom has the idea of plotting against Goryeo, Li Congjing is not too concerned now.

Needless to say, Helong and the land of the Western Regions are scattered sand, and the only word that can describe it: chaos. Its neighboring Tibet, also very chaotic.

The rest of the places are not worth mentioning, and the southwest and southern Zhao are already a corner of the place, and the chaos is chaotic, and it is easy to hear.

Thinking of this, Li Congjing was inevitably silent, and Jianzi saw that Li Congjing completely ignored him, frowned, and was very unhappy, "Li Congjing, to fight or not to fight, you are talking!" ”

Li Congjing glanced at Jianzi, didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, raised his feet and left, and dropped a sentence: "No fight." ”

With this attitude, the sword was so angry that his eyebrows were upside down, and the face of the alluring city was instantly covered with a layer of frost. However, after all, he gave people a handle, and he couldn't get angry, and under the entanglement, he wanted to vomit blood, and in the end he could only hate and stomp his feet.

Ding Hei farts followed Li Congjing, and said tentatively with a shy face: "Your Highness don't blame Jianzi, he can't help himself, and besides, he does have the idea of fighting with His Highness."

Li Congjing stopped, looked Ding Hei up and down a few times, his eyes were strange, "Ding Hei, I see that you have changed a lot over the years, could it be that you don't remember the fact that the sword defeated you at the beginning?" ”

It's not just a big change, it's just a different person, the vicissitudes of life in the past, now lively as a child, it seems that experience and situation are the things that determine a person's appearance, now Ding Hei's family is complete, his wife is virtuous, and a pair of children can already fight with wooden swords, and he is a first-class guest in the Qin Palace, and his status is noble, no wonder he is so radiant now.

When Ding Hei was sneering, Li Congjing shook his head and said, "Who is stronger in the birth sword and the entry sword?" Is there really a so-called birth sword in this world? People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, first for Yelu Deguang coercion, and now for the Guiyi army, speaking of which Jianzi is also a poor person. ”

Although he is a poor person, Li Congjing has no pity, at least he will not be a sparring partner and fight with others because of this. If the monk is like Qi himself, he will inevitably be "coerced" by him Li Congjing, who obediently ran to Jiangling to share his worries for Li Congjing, but now he is coerced to Luoyang, and he will go to clean up Buddhism for Li Congjing in the future.

Many times, being at ease is not a state of mind, but a strength.

Tao Yaoyao asked beside Li Congjing: "The Guiyi Army is coming, how to deal with it?" ”

"It's just hanging out, there's no time to pay attention to them right now." Li Congjing said casually, and now he does have many important matters to deal with.

The next day, Li Congjing entered the palace. This trip went to see Li Siyuan, Li Congjing also piggybacked Zhao Jiliang on the side, Jingnan has been decided, the follow-up matters are not complicated, and the next thing to deal with is nothing more than Xichuan and Wu Guo.

Previously, the imperial court transferred Qin Shide, the envoy of the Datong Army in Yunzhou, to replace Li Shaobin as the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, which was mostly tentative, and the final result was not unexpected by the imperial court, Li Shaobin did not let Qin Shide enter the country.

Li Shaobin, once commanded from Ma Zhidu, is Zhuangzong's henchman, Guo Chongtao when Shu, he followed the military aircraft to participate in the war, made good contributions, after Pingshu, the deputy envoy of the sword Nandongchuan Jiedu, know the festival, after Li Siyuan entered Luoyang, Li Shaobin and Meng Zhixiang are the same, the imperial court edict Yin Feng Yang violated, unruly.

Li Congjing remembered that in the original history, the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival was Dong Zhang, and later joined Meng Zhixiang to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty. In the battle of Zelu in the first year of Tongguang, Dong Zhang was ordered by Emperor Liang to rush to the aid of Li Jitao in Huaizhou, but was defeated by Li Congjing, and he was also beheaded.

Dong Zhang is dead, Li Congjing earlier also hoped that the situation in Dongchuan could be different, now it seems that the trajectory of history does have its inevitability, and the situation of the two rivers has not changed in essence because of the death of a Dong Zhang, but unfortunately Li Congjing was far away in Youzhou at that time, and his power was not completed, and he could not help the affairs of the two rivers.

Earlier, Meng Zhixiang secretly supported Gao Jixing and bewitched him to rebel and become self-reliant, with the intention of attracting the attention of the imperial court with Jingnan, and then consuming the military and financial resources of the imperial court, so that the imperial court had no time to look west. It's just that Meng Zhixiang never thought that Jingnan would be pacified so easily by my son, and in the battle of Jingnan, not only did my Datang not consume its own military and financial resources, but the treasury was replenished because it was replenished, and two rivers of troops would be used in the future, and Jingnan's wealth was enough for thirty percent of the military resources. ”

Talking about Meng Zhixiang, Li Siyuan couldn't help but be very angry, the other party did not obey the imperial edict, of course Li Siyuan was very faceless, it can be said that since he succeeded to the throne, Li Siyuan has been angry with Meng Zhixiang, and the emperor has been repeatedly brushed by his courtiers, which is unbearable.

Sancheng military resources are cloudy, Li Congjing is noncommittal,

Li Congjing asked: "Some time ago, Meng Zhixiang wrote a letter asking the imperial court to allow him to take his family to Chengdu, I don't know how my father decided on this matter?" ”

Guo Chongtao Pingshu, Meng Zhixiang did not participate, he became the envoy of the Xichuan Festival is a monkey picking peaches, and his son Meng Chang and Princess Qionghua are still in Luoyang - Princess Qionghua is Zhuangzong's cousin and Meng Zhixiang's wife. Meng Zhixiang's ambitions are inflated, and he acts recklessly in Shudi, which can be regarded as "relying on the emperor's prestige inside and supporting strong soldiers outside".

Li Siyuan said angrily: "Meng Zhixiang first kept his wealth and silk privately, and then killed my court ministers, and now he refuses to stay in Luoyang even his family, his treason is obvious, how can I tolerate this move!" ”

"Privately retaining wealth and silk" refers to Meng Zhixiang's private interception of the money from the treasury of Shu, and "Killing my court minister" refers to Meng Zhixiang's killing of Li Yan, the capital of Xichuan soldiers and horses.

Li Yan is a person, Li Congjing has heard of it, and knows that the other party is from Youzhou, skilled in bows and horses, and his eloquence can be called the best in the world. His person Chu Shiyan, for the history of the thorn, with the light years, for the guest provincial envoy, on the order of Zhuangzong to send an envoy to Shu, this trip not only shocked Shu, so that the Shu lord Shu Chen greatly admired, he also peeked through the reality of Shu, perceived Wang Yan's loss of government, so he knew that Shu was desirable, but also after the truthful report to Zhuang Zong, the history said that "the plan of Pingshu, began with Yan".

Guo Chongtao led the army to attack Shu, Li Yan recruited envoys for Sanchuan, "Yan and the vanguard made Kang Yanxiao 5,000 soldiers, the pioneer pavilion road, or galloped to the word, or the power of the soldiers, the army did not reach, where it fell", the merit was in the first place of the three armies, and the demeanor impressed the hearers. When Wang Yan wanted to surrender, he handed a letter to Kang Yanxiao, clearly saying that if Li Yan came first, he would open the city and surrender.

Kang Yanxiao was worried that Wang Yan would be lured and killed because of the conspiracy to seek Shu, so he did not agree with Li Yan to go, but Li Yan was "happy to hear it, and rode into Yizhou". When Wang Yan saw Li Yan, he didn't hurt him, but "took his mother and wife as his trust", which shows Wang Yan's recognition of Li Yan.

This time, when Li Congjing traveled south to Jingnan, Li Yan invited himself to supervise the army in Xichuan, and in order to control the reality of Xichuan and strengthen his understanding of Xichuan, he allowed it. Before Li Yan left, his mother persuaded him not to go, and said to him: The plan to break Shu was originally from you, and the Shu people hate you to the bone, and now if you enter Shu again, the Shu people will definitely kill you. And said that if you insist on entering Shu, it will be goodbye.

Li Yan didn't listen, and only said "Be a minister, eat Junlu, and serve the country", and then entered Shu.

Li Yan entered Shu, and Meng Zhixiang killed him.

A generation of romantic figures, talented and loyal people, should have shown their talents again, made great contributions to the country, and left a good name in history, but they have fallen, and they have to sigh.

Li Congjing said: "It is inevitable to use force to level Shu, but to do this, you need to have 'four gains' first." ”

"What are the 'four gains'?"

"First, the national politics are as stable as Mount Tai, the second is that there is no beacon fire on the border, the third is the detailed reality of the two rivers, and the third is 50,000 of the army of Shu."

"The national government is becoming more and more stable, all the feudal towns are surrendered, and the new policy is implemented by the people, and there are two or three more years, which can be as stable as Mount Tai; The grassland tribes in the north are too busy to take care of themselves, and only Yang Wu is the only one in the south who rubs his shoulders, but now that you have captured Xu Zhihe, you should be able to return Xu Zhihe as a condition, and Yang Wu tentatively agreed not to raise troops with each other; The reality of the two rivers, with the ability of the military intelligence department, is not difficult to understand over time; Only the 50,000 divisions of Shu cannot be obtained in two or three years. ”

"There are 20,000 troops in Heyang."

"What do you mean?"

"Father, if there is a bumper harvest this autumn, the imperial court should choose the central army and reshape the imperial court guards and the six armies of the Son of Heaven! The Hundred Battles Army is put in Heyang, if the Tiger Game Wilderness is useless, it is better to be incorporated into the forbidden army, and it can be regarded as the right place. ”

"However, the Hundred Battles Army is your own army, which is under your command, and you have countless efforts, how can you bear to take it for your father?"

"Father, all the armies in the world, those who do not belong to individuals, are all the blades of the country! The feudal town has a strong army, which is not the blessing of the empire, how can the army of a hundred battles be an exception? The Hundred Battles Army is not only the elite, but it should be the Imperial Forbidden Army, and the Empire has a strong army, so that it can deter the small at home, conquer the country externally, benefit the national government, and make the country strong! ”

"This"

"Father, it is the great plan of the country to select the elite soldiers of the feudal army, enter the central government as the forbidden army, and strengthen the weak branches. On the one hand, it can make the feudal town have no excuse and no reason to follow, and second, the Hundred Battles Army is organized into a forbidden army, which can deter the feudal town and make the feudal town dare not disobey, so as to ensure the smooth operation of this plan! ”

"But that's the same thing"

"Since the collapse of the military system, the feudal towns have raised their own armies, and the feudal army only knows that there is a vassal commander but does not know that there is a majesty, so it can support the army and respect itself, and harm the country. Father, the treasury is slightly filled, and the matter of reshaping the military system is related to the long-term stability of the empire, and it is urgent. At present, Meng Zhixiang intends to commit treason, and the imperial court wants to use troops in Liangchuan, which is the only opportunity for the empire to reshape the military system. ”

"Reshaping the military system and changing the army of the feudal town into the army of the empire is indeed related to the strength of the empire."

"Not only to reshape the military system, but to completely change the military and political affairs!"

In Li Congjing's mind, there is a complete set of plans for army building, which is the product of the close integration of the advanced ideas of later generations with the realities of the present world.

This set of plans, only Li Congjing can have, and only he can turn it into reality!
