Chapter 56: Arrival

"Start drawing!"

Zhang Zai stared nervously at the turntable, among the five people he wanted the most was Li Jing and Li Cunxiao and Ran Min. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Jing, a generation of military gods, his ability to command troops is in the forefront of the whole history, almost invincible, invincible.

Li Cunxiao, the first fierce general of the five generations, and Wang Yanzhang, the second of them, couldn't last a few rounds in his hands, and left a saying that "the king is not a tyrant, and the general is not Li".

As for Ran Min, Wu mourned the Heavenly King, and killed Hu with a piece of paper, which made many aliens frightened.

Finally, in Zhang Zai's expectant gaze, the pointer of the turntable stopped at Li Jing's name!

"Congratulations to the host for winning the Tang Dynasty's founding hero Li Jing Li Yaoshi: strength 84, skill 87, command 100, internal affairs 69, strategy 94, politics 85, admiration for the host's resistance to foreign races, specially come to serve."

Zhang Zai was ecstatic, today is really his lucky day, he has successively obtained Wang Meng and Li Jing, two great talents, so that he can also free his hands, occupy Xihe and Shangjun, and when the time comes, he will attack the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu, and he will not worry about the uncertainty of the Southern Xiongnu.

In the next few days, Zhang Zai spent almost all of his time in torment, and every day he had to go to the recruitment hall to ask if Li Jing or Wang Meng came to sign up, but they were all disappointed. ,

Finally, three days later, Zhang Zai, who was reviewing the official documents, suddenly received a report from the guard at the door: "Lord, someone outside the door asks to see him, he claims to be the teacher, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, so please make it public." ”

Zhang Zai resisted the excitement in his heart and asked, "Who is this person's surname?" ”

"Calling himself Wang Meng." These basic questions were still being asked by the guard, so he answered them fluently.

"Great! Go, follow me out of the house to greet you. Zhang Zai didn't care about reading the official documents anymore, jumped down from the table, put on his shoes haphazardly, and walked quickly to the door.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Zhang Zai saw a Confucian scholar standing next to the stone lion, looking at Jinyang left and right, Zhang Zai was still some distance away from the mansion gate, so he shouted directly: "The person who came is Mr. Jingluo?" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Zai had already arrived at the door, and at the same time bowed down and said, "Student Zhang Zai, please meet Mr." ”

This bow went straight to the bottom.

Wang Meng stretched out his hand to help Zhang Zai, he didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few years, Zhang Zai could still recognize him at a glance, and his eyes were full of relief: "Zide get up." ”

Then he looked Zhang Zai up and down, and when he saw Zhang Zai's shoes, the hand holding Zhang Zai was a little trembling.

Zhang Zai felt Wang Meng's strange appearance, saw that he had been staring at his feet, and looked down to see that he was in a hurry to come out, and he actually put his shoes on the contrary.

Zhang Zai smiled awkwardly: "This ...... When I heard that Mr. had arrived, I was excited. Then he patted his head: "Sir, please come in, and go to the house to talk." ”

Zhang Zai brought Wang Meng into the living room, personally served hot water, and asked, "Where has Mr. been all these years?" ”

Wang Meng apologized: "Six years ago, my father was critically ill and returned home to take care of him, but my father still passed away, and he wanted to return to the state, but he suffered a yellow scarf again, so he has been living in the mountains. ”

Zhang Zai said modestly: "Thanks to Mr. You's teaching, I don't know what the purpose of Mr. is this trip, can Zai help?" "Obviously asking knowingly.

"After half a life, if Zide doesn't dislike it, how about getting an official and a half-job in Bingzhou?" Wang Meng was originally looking for Zhang Zai, so he naturally wanted to be out of the state.

"Mr. is a talented person, he can come to the state, he can't ask for it, and now there is still a lack of other drivers in the house, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, he can go to work immediately." Although Zhang Zai knew that Wang Meng would definitely take refuge in himself, he was still ecstatic when Wang Meng agreed.

The reason why Wang Meng was appointed as a separate driver, Zhang Zai did not lack a general in his hands, and there was also a Tang Dynasty military god, which was enough to deal with internal and external enemies, what he lacked now was a pure strategist, and Wang Meng was very balanced in all aspects, and he was still very strong.

Subsequently, Zhang Zai detailed his layout and plans in Bingzhou one by one, and even the existence of bad people, Zhang Zai also pointed out, hoping that Wang Meng could give his own suggestions.

Listening to Zhang Zai's plan, he also took a breath of cold air, he didn't expect that Zhang Zai had such great ambitions and wanted to annex the entire tribe of the Southern Xiongnu, but he did not disappoint Zhang Zai, after the shock, he pointed out Zhang Zai's omissions and deficiencies one by one, and put forward suggestions for correction.

That night, Zhang Zai summoned the main officials of the state pastoral office, introduced Wang Meng's identity and the position he would hold, and washed the dust for Wang Meng.

Looking at the little-known Wang Meng, many people wanted to see his jokes, they had been staring at the other driving position for a long time, but they didn't expect Zhang Zai's teacher to suddenly come and snatch the position.

I have to say that Wang Meng is indeed amazingly talented, and as soon as he took over, he was able to handle things in the state in an orderly manner, which also surprised those who wanted to see Wang Meng's jokes.

Zhang Zai ordered him on the spot to be the captain, allocated 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, and gave him the right to recruit troops, asking him to command 10,000 people, stationed in Xihe County and Shangjun, and be fully responsible for the military and political affairs of the two counties.

This is a chore, these two counties are full of foreign races, the Xiongnu, the Qiang have their own territory, the imperial court's control over the two counties is very weak, and the territory is vast, the Central Plains people are not familiar with the path, reluctantly send troops to fight, the gains outweigh the losses.

Moreover, the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu is in Meiji, Xihe, this area, entrenched in hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu people, as many as tens of thousands of people who control the strings, is the most powerful force, but also the most threatening force to Zhang Zai.

Due to the previous rebellion, the Southern Xiongnu killed the Shan Yu Qiang Qu of the Lord and faction, set up another Xu Bu Gu as Shan Yu, and invaded Yanmen and Taiyuan several times, so the relationship between the two sides was very tense.

Zhang Zai put Li Jing in Xihe, in addition to peeking at Si Li, more to clear the foreign races in the state and facilitate the rule.

In today's situation, once the troubled times open, then he will definitely lag behind, and many places in the state will not be able to produce grain, if he fights for many years, the state's finances are likely to collapse, even with the support of the Zhen family, it will not be able to provide the daily consumption of tens of thousands of troops.

Therefore, Zhang Zai planned to subdue the Southern Xiongnu, or expel him, and build the Hetao into a granary for the annexation of the state, and at that time, once the war started, he could directly surround the Xiongnu territory and encroach on it step by step.

It's a huge achievement, but it also comes with endless risks.

Li Jing had no objection to Zhang Zai's arrangement, after all, he was also eager for war and meritorious service, and after getting Zhang Zai's appointment, he directly ordered his troops and horses that night and went to Xihe County.
