Chapter 685 Zheng Chen

Although it was to take refuge, Wan He and the eldest grandson Wuji went to the council hall to discuss military and political matters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After everyone settled, Wan He also glanced at everyone who was sitting down, Li Jing, Liu Wenjing and the eldest grandson Hengan were not here, the three of them were now leading troops in Hebei, presiding over the battle against Dou Jiande and Gao Kaidao.

Li Jing was not there, and the main person in charge of the military affairs of Luoyang City was replaced by the veteran Pei Renji, although Pei Renji had a broken arm, but his years of experience in leading the army in the counterinsurgency army were enough for Pei Renji to govern the military affairs of Luoyang. Seeing Wan He's gaze move to himself, Pei Renji naturally understood what Wan He meant, and when he stood up, he said to Wan He: "Lord Wang! Since the prince left Luoyang, in the past six months, the Luoyang army has been greatly expanded in accordance with the instructions of the prince before leaving! Now there are 200,000 troops under the command of the prince! The only trouble is that most of these armies are new recruits, and although they have been trained for more than half a year, their combat effectiveness needs to be improved! So this time, General Li went to Hebei, and almost all of the 100,000 troops he brought with him were new soldiers! ”

200,000 troops! Hearing this number, Wan He almost jumped up with excitement in his heart! Once upon a time, the lack of troops has always been a heart problem for Wan He, especially after staying in Chang'an this time, Wan He also has an understanding of the number of Tang troops under Li Yuan. There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Yuan alone! This is not counting the 30,000 horses under Li Shentong, the 10,000 horses in the hands of Li Shimin, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Yin Kaishan! That's 150,000 troops! If it weren't for the defeat of Taiyuan before, I'm afraid that Li Yuan's troops should have exceeded 180,000! Compared to before, Luoyang's troops are really much worse! Wan He knew very well that if it weren't for the constraints of Xue Ju, Li Liang and Liu Wuzhou at that time, Li Yuan would definitely go out to attack Luoyang!

And now, Wan He has an army of 200,000 on hand! Although most of them are new recruits, but with the soldiers and horses in the hands of Du Fuwei, Xue Shixiong and Luo Yi, I am afraid that Wanhe is the strongest among the heroes in the world!

After listening to Pei Renji's words, Wan He also nodded again and again, and then said with a smile: "Very good!" The remaining 100,000 troops stepped up their training, and if they could, sent them to Hebei to rotate the soldiers who had participated in the battle, preferably so that these recruits could all walk through the battlefield! Let them all see the blood! ”

Wan He has also fought many battles in the past few years, and his words have also been contaminated with a lot of ruffians in the army, which made all the generals present laugh. And then, Wan He said: "Although there are a lot of 200,000 troops, it is slightly insufficient to sweep the world, and it is better to continue to expand!" ”

"Lord Wang!" Hearing Wan He's words, a middle-aged civil official suddenly stood up and said to Wan He: "For this expansion of the new army, my subordinates feel that it is inappropriate!" Now this 200,000 army is already the limit of what the counties of Henan can recruit soldiers and horses! If you continue to recruit, my subordinates may cause dissatisfaction among the people! Please be cautious! ”

"Huh?" Before this middle-aged civil official stood up, Wan He hadn't noticed it, but now he realized that there was such an extra person, looked at the middle-aged civil official with a puzzled face, and turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji and the others. The people who greeted him in King Liang's Mansion this time should be Wan He's henchmen, but Wan He has never seen this middle-aged civil official in front of him.

Seeing Wan He's appearance, Fang Xuanling immediately said to Wan He: "Lord Qiqi! This lord is a great talent who has recently joined the command of the prince, Lord Wei Zhengwei! Lord Wei had served in Liucheng before, and this time General Li Jing recovered Liucheng and saw Wei Da **, so he recommended Lord Wei to come to Luoyang and serve the prince! ”

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Wei Zheng also bowed to Wan He and said, "My subordinates have seen the prince!" Please also ask the prince to listen to the advice of his subordinates and dispel the idea of conscription again! At the same time, I also hope that the prince can open a warehouse to help the people and disperse the grain to the refugees who go south from Hebei, which is also very beneficial to the prestige of the prince! ”

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he didn't react for a long time, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he thought, could it be that this King Liang is a vain person? If this is the case, then this King Liang is not a Ming lord who can be loyal! Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Wan He in front of him, but Wei Zheng was dumbfounded, because Wan He at this moment was looking at himself with wide eyes, his mouth was wide open, and there was even saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth, and with the sparkling eyes, he looked like a refugee who had been hungry for three or four days without eating, and saw the expression of a bunch of delicacies!

No one can understand the excitement in Wan He's heart at this moment! Wei Zheng! This is really Wei Zheng! For Wan He, when it comes to the most famous Wenchen in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, it is not the eldest grandson Wuji, nor Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, not to mention Liu Wenjing and Wang, Wan He is most impressed by Wei Zheng, who is famous for his death advice!

Speaking of Li Shimin, we have to mention Wei Zheng, and even in Wan He's opinion, Li Shimin has so many good reputations in history, and it is completely because of Wei Zheng! Since he was a child, Wan He didn't know how many stories about Wei Zheng he had heard! At the beginning, Wan He didn't have the idea of going over to find Wei Zheng, but then he gave up, but he didn't expect that Wei Zheng would appear in front of his eyes now, no wonder Wan He was so excited!

Wan He was excited, but his current appearance made people panic, seeing Wan He's drooling appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji and others couldn't help but sweat profusely, and finally Wei Zheng was frightened by Wan He's appearance and turned pale, and the eldest grandson Wuji really couldn't stand it, so he just covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly. With these few light coughs, Wan He finally reacted, and immediately laughed a few times, secretly touched the corners of his mouth, and then said to Wei Zheng with a smile: "Oh! It turned out to be Lord Wei! Hehe! Good! Good! With the help of a virtuous minister like Lord Wei! Big things can be decided! ”

Hearing Wan He say this, Wei Zheng, who had already given birth to the heart of leaving, was finally relieved, if Wan He insisted on conscription, he, who had just taken refuge in Wan He's hands, naturally had no way to stop it, and could only watch the people of Henan suffer. And now Wan He's appearance made Wei Zheng's heart rise with hope, and even said to Wan He: "Thank you for your attention!" Then, as the subordinates said just now, about the cancellation of conscription, the prince meant ......"

"Huh? Oh! Cancel conscription, right? Of course! Of course! In fact, the idea of increasing conscription is just an idea that occasionally pops up in Wan He's heart, Wan He has no intention of insisting at all, and now that Wei Zheng mentioned this, Wan He naturally nodded and agreed, and said with a smile to Wei Zheng: "I have Lord Wei's help, it is better than 100,000 troops, so why do I need to recruit again?" ”

Hearing Wan He's praise, Wei Zheng couldn't help but blush, now he can only be regarded as a nobody, and he was valued by Li Jing, so he was recommended to Luoyang. And Wan He praised him so much, Wei Zheng also felt embarrassed, but his heart was full of gratitude for Wan He so much, when he even bowed to Wan He and said: "You have to be so loved by the prince!" Wei Zheng is grateful, but he can only do his best! ”

Of course, Wan He also knew that he was really a little explicit just now, and this Corporal Lixian couldn't go too far, so then Wan He just nodded and let Wei Zheng sit back. In short, Wei Zheng has become his subordinate, so how to reuse him in the future is also a matter of the future. Immediately, Wan He named the name of the eldest grandson Wuji again, and asked himself what happened to Luoyang after he left Luoyang?

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed to Wan He and said, "Return to the prince!" During this time, nothing happened to the Luoyang government and the opposition, but in the palace, something unusual happened! According to the report of the spies, it seems that some mysterious masters have appeared around the Queen Mother! The subordinates deliberately tried to capture these people, but they let them run away several times! ”

"Mystic master?" Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wan He immediately frowned, the queen mother in the mouth of the eldest grandson Wuji naturally refers to the Empress Xiao who was rescued from Yu Wenhua and his hands before! Originally, after Queen Xiao returned to Luoyang, she still wanted to do something, but after being warned by Wan He, she relented! Unexpectedly, Wan He left Luoyang for more than half a year this time, and now he is starting to be dishonest again! Wan He said in a deep voice: "These mysterious masters, can't even the people of Tianyinmen catch them?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "It's not that these mysterious masters are skilled, it's that they are too cautious and have laid a few traps, all of which they have run away!" The subordinates didn't dare to be too public, so they could only act secretly with the masters of Tianyinmen, but after a few times, those mysterious masters also seemed to notice our actions and simply disappeared! Until the prince came back this time, we didn't find any trace of each other! ”

"The Queen Mother?" After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wan He also frowned, now Luoyang City is already Wan He's territory, there are 100,000 troops stationed in Luoyang on the surface, and there is also the protection of the master of Tianyinmen in the dark, even if Queen Xiao wants to do something, it stands to reason that it is impossible to deal with Wan He! However, Wan He felt that there must be something wrong with it, it seemed that this Empress Xiao was brewing some conspiracy, which was extremely unfavorable to Wan He! Immediately, Wan He also nodded slightly, and he had already made up his mind in his heart that in a few days, he must go to the palace in person!
