Chapter 257: Tri-State Rogues
Du Ruhui stopped talking, read the official document at a glance and three lines, and said dumbfounded: "This ...... This Qin Huben is really a strange person, and this method also made him come up with it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Awesome! Seeing this kid's whole set in Gyeongju, I actually felt like I was quite old-fashioned. We have painstakingly tried to solve the predicament of the border army, and finally came up with a set of methods that we thought were good, but compared with his grievance movement, it was much weaker. ”
Li Shimin said in a somewhat happy tone: "That kid is always quick-witted, and many of his ideas are improvised, so it's really not good to let him draft a perfect program." ”
Du Ruhan smiled: "It's not easy, after all, the experience is there." It would be really strange if he could draft the perfect program. ”
"Not necessarily." Others don't know Qin Feng, Li Shimin knows his potential, it's just that this kid is too lazy, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't see it, he would simply be a person who didn't care about everything, Li Shimin touched his short beard and thought: Do you want to give him more tasks?
Li Shimin thought of doing it, and pondered for a moment and said, "Keming, didn't you say that kid is very suitable to be a civil servant?" I want to find something to do for that kid, what do you think? ”
Du Ruhui said: "General Xiao Qin's exploits are obvious to all, but he is also the general of Huben and the governor of Gyeongju, and he wears many hats, will he be a little careless?" After all, manpower is limited, and General Du Qin is still young, so he is afraid that he will not be able to support such a heavy burden. ”
He is an upright person, but he didn't mean to target Qin Feng with this remark. It's just that Qin Feng has a lot of power in his hands, not only to be in charge of 50,000 soldiers and horses, but also to manage the land of Sanzhou, and now he has to increase his workload and deal with other matters, although he doesn't know what Li Shimin wants to arrange for Qin Feng, but it is definitely not an idle position, Du Ruhui feels that the three positions are very important for Datang, but now they are pressed on one person, and he is worried that it will backfire.
Li Shimin understood what Du Ruhui meant, and paused: "What Du Aiqing said is not unreasonable, but those who can work hard, I still believe that Qin Feng has this ability." Since Keming was suspicious, the matter was easy to solve. As the saying goes, mules are horses taken out for a walk. If he can do this, it will be a great joy for Datang, and it will also prove that I have not looked away. If not, then blame me for not employing people properly, and this third position can also be removed."
He said a foolproof strategy, which was a compromise on the surface, but in fact, he was full of confidence in Qin Feng.
Everyone's way of dealing with it is different, even if some people hand over the burden of the world to him, he can handle it with ease, and some people even give him a small thing, he will be in a hurry and have no clue.
Qin Feng is the former, and his strength lies in employing people.
Let's take the army as an example, the military is complicated, and there are countless trivial matters, but Qin Feng did it easily and chicly, and after the Tiger Ben Army was on the right track, he made various excuses not to go to the barracks. He doesn't need every soldier, every soldier's management, as long as he catches Su Lie, Zhang Shigui, Luo Tong, Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Baoqing, Xue Rengui, Fang Yiai, these generals.
According to the official report of Gyeongju, Qin Feng, the governor of Gyeongju, also did this, as long as he grasped the main direction and ordered the general direction, the rest was left to him to be arranged, and he didn't have to bother with everything.
Before and after he got married, he left the barracks for nearly two months, but there was not the slightest chaos in the organization under his command.
It can be seen that Qin Feng is still quite skilled in employing people.
He is the kind of character who can be lazy and delegate power and will never catch a moment more, and it is not easy to tire him down.
Li Shimin is still very confident in this.
Li Shimin's words have come to this point, and Du Ruhui has no objections. After all, he was also quite optimistic about Qin Feng.
On this day, Qin Feng received a battle report, it turned out that Li Daozong defeated the Xi and Xia tribes, and occupied the southern section of the Khitan territory, that is to say, in the northeast, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has tended to be complete, and after that, the only ones in the northeast that can cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty are Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. However, Silla's living environment is worrying, and it has been invaded by Goguryeo and Baekje for a long time, and it is in the point of surviving, and Baekje is close to the sea, separated from the northeast by a Goguryeo, if it is impossible to invade the Tang Dynasty from the land, so it is Goguryeo that can be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Historically, Li Daozong destroyed Goguryeo, and now he is in charge of the defense of the northeast, which complements each other.
Seeing that Li Daozong opened up territory for the Tang Dynasty, Qin Feng was very envious, and now Jieli is facing off against the Tuli and Yi Nan coalition forces, although the small wars continue, but the big war related to life and death has not begun. Li Jing, Li Ji, and Qin Feng didn't dare to stir up trouble easily, if they fought at will, I was afraid that it would affect the overall situation.
Now, the only thing that can be done is to train the troops. However, Qin Feng always believed that actual combat was the best way to train troops, so after arriving in Gyeongju, he vigorously developed an intelligence network, hoping to find horse thieves who could train troops in the territory.
Qin Feng returned to the Governor's Mansion from the military camp and called Liu Renliang.
"General!" Liu Renliang made a salute.
Qin Feng didn't like this kind of red tape very much, and his persuasion of Liu Renliang and Ma Zhoujiu was ineffective, so he let them go.
"How's your intelligence network going?" A month passed in a flash, and seeing that everything was gradually getting on the right track, Qin Feng also gave Liu Renliang a task, asking him to send people to go deep into the Turks, establish an intelligence network, and find out the inside information of the Turks.
This kind of most important thing, Qin Feng chose Liu Renliang. When it comes to strategy, Liu Renliang is indeed very powerful, thinking about the principle of employing people without suspicion and suspecting people, he chose him decisively.
Liu Renliang was deeply moved by Qin Feng's letting him master such a military secret, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, selecting astute people from the army, and sending them to go deep into the Turks to either engage in business or settle down, step by step, to establish an intelligence base area.
"This ......" Liu Renliang said in embarrassment: "There is no news yet, general, according to Renliang's opinion, this matter cannot be rushed or rushed." We are not for the sake of momentary information, and we can unscrupulously inquire about information. We must not rush to long-term interests, but let the people sent out gain a foothold in the Turks and let them gain trust. When they are integrated into the Turks, they are threading the needle and connecting them, so that we can provide us with a steady stream of information so that we will not be discovered. ”
"You have a point!" Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction, knowing that he had not seen the wrong person. Liu Renliang's wisdom and steadiness can make it easy for him to grasp the importance of this aspect, "You also misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean to say any details, the information I wanted was about Jieli, Tuli and Yinan." This information is not a secret to us at all, and we can find out as long as we ask casually. I need to know where their armies are, especially when they are fighting each other to the death, and I need to know as soon as possible. ”
Liu Renliang apologized: "It's a misunderstanding by his subordinates, what the general said is so easy, according to what I found out a few days ago." Jieli and Tuli haven't fought for a while, not because there are no contradictions, but because they are deliberately suppressed. Last year's wind and snow were very big, they grassland people were busy avoiding the cold, this spring has to choose the peaceful and abundant water and grassland, they are now busy ensuring the livelihood of the tribesmen, busy accumulating strength, according to their contradictions, the fight is definitely fought, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it is the most free time of the grassland people, the probability of fighting is still very large. All the people in their upper and lower tribes are soldiers, and when the army moves, they don't need to do more investigation, they can know it at the first time. The subordinates will pay special attention to the ......"
"Good! I'll leave it to you. Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while and said: "After our efforts, the border army is finally normal, in recent months, our army has been conducting confrontation exercises, but after all, the exercise is not actual combat, and there is still a big gap with actual combat, I have always thought that actual combat is the best way to train troops, but we can't use troops against the Turks at present, where do you say we should fight?" ”
Liu Ren tracked: "Horse thief!" ”
"I think of a place with me, fighting horse thieves can not only train soldiers, but also bring peace to the people, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone."
The Turks were in the calm before the storm, and once the balance was lost, the war would break out at once, and rushing to war would only mess up Li Shimin's plan, and the only way to think about it was to fight those rogues who occupied the mountains as kings.
Qin Feng issued an order to Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui, and Xue Rengui respectively, and half a month later, the whole army attacked to completely eliminate the rogue in the territory, so that they could do a good job of collecting information about the rogue in the territory and train the army.
Late summer and early autumn!
Qin Feng counted the time, and there were still five months left......
It's not a lot of time, but it's enough to raise the soldier's power to a higher level.
One more combat power means one less casualties.
"Let the assassins and officials from all over the country cooperate, I don't care if the other party is a righteous thief or a thief, as long as it is a thief, it will all be swept away, and the thief will not need to be said, if it is a righteous thief, he can surrender."
There are indeed a lot of thieves on this border, some of them are by nature, but there are also many of them are grand thieves.
As far as Qin Feng knows, there are two groups of thieves on the front line of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Suizhou, who were originally officers in Shuofang, because of the decline of the Sui Dynasty and repeated invasions by the Turks. Shuofang, as the frontier of the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, was the first to be threatened. In the face of foreign invasions, as Chinese people, they never lacked the courage to fight to the death, and some low-level non-commissioned officers led a cadre of soldiers to fight on the front line against the Turks.
Despite the strength of the Turks, they still held their post and did not retreat. The Turks could not help them, and they did not want to increase the casualties of the strong fortresses, so they always bypassed them and plundered elsewhere.
These two groups of thieves, one is headed by Tang Ao and the other is headed by Xue Zhonglian. They are not very powerful, but they are deeply loved by the people.
From a personal point of view, Qin Feng admires them, but from the perspective of a state official, he does not allow such a force to exist. (To be continued.) )
