Wang Mai looked at Du Ruhui curiously, although the two had met in the past two days, but after all, they were on the march, and they had never had a chance to officially get married. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Du Ruhui looks less than forty years old, his face is very thin, and he looks like a weak scholar, but he is such a guy who looks a little sick, but he is the most important strategist under Li Shimin. Starting from Ping Xue Ju, Du Ruhui has always followed Li Er's side to give advice, and in the future, together with Fang Xuanling, he was known as the two famous ministers of the early Tang Dynasty, and synthesized "Fang Mou Du Xuan". Du Ruhui saw that Wang Mai was looking at him, and greeted him slightly.

Wang Mai smiled at him, and was about to introduce himself, but at this time, Fugui came in, glanced at the tent, and ran to Wang Mai to sit down.

"Why are you here too?" Wang Mai was a little stunned, how could Li Er call a little minion in the army at a meeting?

"I don't know, King Qin called me to come, and I came." Fugui is also at a loss.

After a while, the people were almost there, Wang Mai took a closer look, and found that these people were Li Er's cronies, and Wei Chi Gongcheng Biting Jin and others were among them.

Li Er told everyone about Wang Mai's suggestion, which immediately caused a lot of discussion.

Du Ruhui frowned, glanced at Wang Mai opposite, thoughtful.

Wang Mai had been prepared for everyone's reaction, and any reform of the system would touch the nerves of those with vested interests, and he turned his head to look at Li Er at the head of the seat, not knowing what his intention was in announcing this.

Li Er smiled calmly: "It seems that all the generals have quite objections to this proposal, putting aside everything else, but the military rank mentioned in it is very meaningful to this king." ”

"That's right," Du Ruhui said, "Once this matter is implemented, the effect on the morale of the army can be described as immeasurable, but if you want to implement it in the whole army, I am afraid it will not be a day's work." "How smart Du Ruhui is, he immediately figured out that this system of separation of military and political affairs will play a big role in restricting military generals, but the Tang Dynasty was able to occupy half of the country in the troubled times, relying on these military generals.

Now if you want to weaken the power in the hands of the generals, there will inevitably be some suspicions of rabbits and dogs, besides, the biggest real power military general is Li Er, isn't this equivalent to lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?

"What's Keming's plan?" Li Er asked.

"In my opinion, it is better to implement it in the first army first, and then make plans after seeing its aftereffects." Du Ruhui said.

Wang Mai nodded secretly, this is the same as his original intention, it is worthy of a generation of famous faces, and it is indeed worthy of the name.

"Then first select three thousand armored soldiers in the army and hand them over to ......" Li Er looked at the generals in the tent, his face was a little embarrassed.

The generals all lowered their heads when they heard this, no one wanted to take over this errand, the command power of this army is too small compared to other armies, listen to the meaning of King Qin, in the future, the officers of this army will only be responsible for fighting, and there is no chance to go to the court, who likes to do this errand? Even Yu Chi, Gongcheng, Biting Jin and the others buried their heads in their arms like an ostrich.

"Since all of you here have no intention of taking on this heavy responsibility, then the king will hand over this army to Wang Fugui to command."

"What?" Fugui opened his mouth and looked at Li Er at the head of the seat in disbelief, he never imagined that Li Er would choose him. This errand is a chicken rib for others, but for wealth, it is a pie that falls from the sky. After all, he is now just a nameless centurion of the Xuanjia Army, and he is young, only seventeen years old, and he is actually in charge of the military power of the First Army?

Wang Mai also stared, looking up and down at Fugui, in addition to being bigger, what advantages does this kid have? Did Li Er have water in his brain, how could he choose this stupid big guy?

Everyone in the tent was shocked by the news and fell silent, only to hear Li Er continue: "Wang Fugui was ordered to sneak into Luoyang for a year, and it can be said that he has worked hard to capture the Eastern Capital. Although he is young, he has won the recognition of the whole army, and he is the best choice for this matter. ”

Wang Mai immediately understood, Li Er knew his relationship with Fugui, and this set of suggestions was put forward by himself, so the intention was self-evident, Li Er let himself fully support Fugui and bring out an army loyal to him, it was really a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Er has a long list of titles, "Taiwei Yizhou Daoxing Tai Shangshu Ling Yongzhou Muliang Prefecture Governor Left and Right Wuhou General Shangzhu Guo...... "I can't finish reading it in one breath, and after the class teacher returns to the court, he will also be crowned "Tiance General", which is an official position created by Li Yuan for his son. But at this time, Li Er's main power was still in the army, not to mention the imperial army loyal to him, and the private armed forces he could hold could reach nearly 10,000 people.

These people consisted mainly of his guards and subordinates, who were in fact the slaves of their masters, who farmed for their masters on weekdays, and were soldiers when they fought, and were proletarians who were both farmers and soldiers. Li Er was a big landowner, every time he returned victoriously, he was rewarded with land, and the most indispensable thing in the troubled times was the homeless, and there were thousands of people in the troops he recruited alone.

After Li Er's title of King of Qin, the food euphemism "Ten Thousand Households" was a real seal given by Li Yuan to his son, not a false title. The 10,000 households in the fiefdom were actually Li Er's private property. In addition to this, Li Er also had the right to deal in salt and iron and mint currency, and his Qin palace was actually a small imperial court that could appoint royal officials on its own.

At this time, Li Er was a small warlord, with a personal army loyal to him and a royal palace guard given by the imperial court, and he also held financial power. Of course, he can't really get an army of 10,000 people, so it's obvious that he is plotting evil, and it's no wonder that he doesn't pump him. But once things change, it is not difficult for him to quickly gather a large army.

As soon as Wang Mai's suggestion came out, Li Er first thought of getting an armed force that was absolutely loyal to him, and doing it in the name of experimenting with a new military system, which was the best. The battle of Luoyang Martial Arts Prison was fought so beautifully, presumably there would be no opposition from the court. Although he made up his mind to endure for a period of time, he couldn't ignore the way back, which was his last guarantee.

Li Er smiled and looked at the dumbfounded two, Wang Fugui was born in poverty and had no background, if he had a background, it was Wang Mai beside him. The relationship between the two is very good, and Fugui is a general brought out by himself. Let Fugui lead this army, first, he can guarantee absolute loyalty, and second, with the relationship between Wang Mai and Fugui, he will definitely not stand idly by, then the combat effectiveness of this army is very impressive. Li Er couldn't help but think of the kind of ballista that can throw stones hundreds of steps away, as well as a large area of black powder, although Wang Mai is a little unruly, but it can be seen that he is inclined to himself, and now there is another Wang Fugui, so he can't help but take the bait.

Wang Mai's contribution this time is too great, and the court will definitely reward him heavily, so there is not much chance of pulling him into the palace, so he retreated to the second, and used this method to tie Wang Mai to his chariot, killing two birds with one stone, Li Er's face was a little proud.

"Fugui, why don't you thank Your Highness for your promotion?" Cheng Yanjin stabbed him in the ribs and whispered. Fugui became a general so soon, and Cheng Yanjin didn't expect it, but he was a personal soldier brought out by himself, and Lao Cheng's face also had brilliance.

"Oh......" Fugui stood up and gave a military salute to Li Er, "I ...... The last general would like to thank His Highness for his appreciation. ”

Li Er nodded: "This matter was mentioned by Wang Mai, about Chengjun, you still have to ask his opinion, this king will immediately go to the court and settle the matter." ”

"I'm a general...... I'm a general......" Out of the camp, Fugui grinned like a demon and kept repeating this sentence.

"Silly boy!" Cheng Biting Jin hammered his chest hard, "In just two or three years, I have been on an equal footing with my old Cheng from a new recruit, I am really lucky, and this promotion speed is not much worse than that of Luo Shixin at the beginning." Cheng Biting Jin was also arrested by Li Er, Fugui was recommended by him, and it was natural for him to help Fugui. Li Er asked the three of them to come up with the charter as soon as possible, so that they could report it in the morning.

Wang Mai glanced at him: "Your kid was promoted to become rich, and Lao Tzu wants to give you a free coolie, who will you reason with?" ”

"Hehe...... Fugui scratched his head with a smirk, "Brother Mai, you have made such a great contribution, after returning to the dynasty, you will definitely be promoted to the rank of knight, and I am far worse than you." ”

"According to my old Cheng's opinion, Brother Wheat has to be crowned a prince of the country this time, and if he doesn't get it right, he has to be crowned a pillar country." Cheng Yanjin said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Wang Mai was startled when he heard this, "Won't it?" ”

As he spoke, he entered the camp, and Cheng Yanjin glared: "What do you think?" Li Shiji offered the forces left over by Duke Wei at the beginning, and he was crowned with Shangzhu State, and he also gave him the surname of the country. ”

"But Luoyang is only one city, how can it compare to dozens of counties in Shandong?"

"Not to mention the status of the eastern capital of Luoyang, our Tang army is one enemy and two this time, the situation is more and more dangerous than the crisis, you will solve the problem of Luoyang City here, and all the battlefields will be alive, and then you will defeat Dou Jiande, do you say there is much significance in this?"

"This ......" Although Cheng Yanjin said something reasonable, Wang Mai knew in his heart that even if he didn't have himself, the outcome of this battle would not change, and this was all something that happened in history.

Li Er's intentions Wang Mai also guessed, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with this, anyway, Li Er would become the emperor sooner or later, this is all destined by history, and it is best for the entire Tang Dynasty to find out the structure and system of the professional army earlier.

Wang Mai relied on the memory in his mind to tell the two of them the general situation of the professional army, mainly the hierarchy of the military ranks, he didn't know much about the Tang Dynasty army, and he needed to refer to Cheng Yanjin's opinion.
