I didn't expect the "boiled frog in warm water" that was popular in later generations to be fake, which was very embarrassing, and Wang Mai's face was a little hot. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info had to explain to Li Er again, now is a difficult time, but it is also the best time to show weakness to the enemy.

When a person is the most powerful, he often gets carried away, and the first war to pacify the two major separatist forces in the north is a great credit, if the court rewards it is thin, there will be people who will complain for him without Li Er speaking. On the other hand, if Li Er still behaves like a good son and a good courtier at this time, it will be difficult for others to catch any substantive handles.

Li Er's laughter reduced the depression in his heart a lot: "Then you can't always be passive?" ”

"I heard that His Highness's favorite tactic on the battlefield is to wait for work, isn't this the best time?"

"How?" Li Er asked.

Wang Mai lowered his voice and said a few words.

Li Er frowned tightly after hearing this: "You mean to let me give up my military power?" ”

"I just asked you to resign as a general, not to say that you should give up your military power, and even if you hold this position, don't you need to go through the military department to transfer troops and horses?" Wang Mai asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Li Er hung his head, carefully considering the gains and losses. He has already understood what Wang Mai meant, resigning from the position of general does not mean giving up military power, the generals of various provinces do not have the right to transfer troops in peacetime, and this general is basically an honorary title. His status did not come from the official position given to him by the imperial court, but from the support of a general in the army.

But once he gives up this position, will it give people the wrong signal, afraid that those who support him now think that he has given up the fight for the throne, and if these people switch to others, it will be more than worth the loss.

Li Er thought for a long time, but still didn't make a decision, and when he was entangled, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the account: "King, Du joins the army and asks to see you." ”

"Hurry up, please come in!" Li Er couldn't wait to say. Du Ruhui was resourceful, and coming at this time really solved his urgent need, and he still needed to consult his opinion on this matter.

Du Ruhui walked into the account, saluted Li Er, nodded to Wang Mai who was at the head of the head, and handed over a note with both hands, he was Li Er's chief staff officer, and everything in the army was handled by him to help Li Er, this time he came to report the military situation.

Li Er glanced at the notice in his hand, picked up the pen and wrote down his opinions, and handed them back to Du Ruhui, only then did he mention to him the idea of resigning from the military.

Du Ruyan lowered his head and thought for a while, this idea is very bold, but it is also very clever, but the risk is too high, and it is difficult for him to think clearly about the gains and losses in his heart for a while.

Wang Mai's resignation from the military was not untargeted, because he knew that there were still many enemies in the Tang Dynasty, not only the Turkic and other nomads, but also Liu Heimin who was about to come out immediately to make waves. Once there is another war in the Tang Dynasty, Li Er will inevitably return to military power, and at that time, he will appear in front of the world as a savior, and everything he has lost today will automatically come back, even more than what he has now. But this reason can't be said clearly, so I have to say vaguely: "The Tang Dynasty will still be inseparable from His Highness in the future, this is just an expedient measure to retreat." ”

Du Ruhui instantly understood the meaning of Wang Mai's words, Li Er's importance to the imperial court is self-evident, although the Tang Dynasty is now temporarily pacifying the north, but it is far from the time when the world is peaceful, maybe one day war will break out, and once the time comes back out of the mountain, the gain will be far more than today. Thinking of this, Du Ruhui couldn't help but clap his palm: "Good plan!" Mr. Wang's plan is to retreat into advance, which is really a good strategy! Admire under it! After speaking, he bowed to Wang Mai.

Wang Mai hurriedly stepped forward to help Du Ruhui up: "Du joined the army with such a big gift, it is really a shame. ”

Du Ruhui has been with Li Er for many years, and naturally has no scruples when he speaks, so he told Li Er about the cleverness of this strategy, and Li Er's eyes lit up and nodded frequently.

Wang Mai smiled and listened to Du Ruhui's analysis, a generation of famous faces is really powerful, he can figure out the gains and losses in such a short period of time, and he directly put forward a specific implementation strategy, which is really worthy of his reputation.

Yuan Shikai was suspicious of the Qing court and was forced to resign and go home, but he knew that the world was not peaceful, and the court would have his day of use. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a large-scale uprising to break out in the world, and the Qing court had no choice but to ask him to go out of the mountain to suppress it.

Although the current Tang Dynasty is not an incompetent Qing court in the late period, Li Er also has a lot of advantages over Yuan Shikai, first of all, he is a prince, Li Yuan still trusts him very much in the military power, and the second is Li Er's great military exploits, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who can fight more than him, and then Li Er has encountered this kind of thing before, but once the Tang Dynasty has a tough battle to fight, it still has to rely on him, which has many precedents, so I am not afraid that the court will not be able to remember him at that time, to put it bluntly, Now that Datang has become dependent on Li Er's military ability, if there is any trouble that cannot be solved, the first thing that everyone thinks of will inevitably be King Qin.

Li Er looked at Wang Mai, what kind of person is this, it is the first time for him to feel that a person is so unfathomable. The popularity is very good, not only with Kong Yingda, Xu Wenyuan, and other scribes and Confucians, but also with Cheng Biting, Jin Qinqiong and other martial artists, and he has a wide range of knowledge, I heard that because he also triggered an academic boom in Confucianism for hundreds of years.

The pendulum clock he made did not require human or animal power to move around on its own and accurately timed; The black powder and ballista that were researched were simply sharp weapons on the battlefield, and a rabble composed of ordinary people broke through the palace and killed Wang Shichong with this thing; He is also good at training troops, and everyone says that the new army led by Wang Fugui will definitely be a strong army that will not be defeated in a hundred battles in the future. Now that he came up with a plan in a hurry, even Du Ruhui admires it, is there anything in this world that he is not good at?

Wang Mai was a little embarrassed by Li Er's eyes, and coughed: "That...... Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will ...... first."

Li Er came back to his senses at this time, and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "I have to enter the city early tomorrow morning, and Manager Wang will rest early." "I went to Jeju to ask him to go out of the mountain that day, but I didn't expect such a big harvest, and now it seems that it is all very worthwhile.
