"What an idiot!"

A battle report was thrown on the ground, and in the court, Li Jie roared angrily, and the ministers on both sides of the court were all trembling, and the King of Min would not be angry easily, but once he was angry, he was absolutely angry. [This site has a new domain name. initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

It is true that Li Jie is not annoyed, in order to welcome the Persian lord into the country, Xi Junmai ordered to go out of the city to face the battle, for the sake of an outdated country lord is worth it or not, this disposal is temporarily appropriate, the problem is that the coalition army has just been established, the command is not smooth, under the first battle, the big food * team will collapse at the touch of a button, and the forgetful Punjab more than a dozen small state lords will chase after them, and they will be bloodbathed by the Arab army in the loot.

Of the 20,000 troops, one hundred and twenty-five returned, and eight of the lords of the small states were killed on the spot, and the brutal battlefield frightened the rest of the Punjab princes, and more than twenty small states clamored for the withdrawal of their troops, and the situation suddenly became unfavorable.

The most wretching thing is that now even the number of troops sent by the Great Food, how the army is configured, how the equipment is, and what the morale is, in the vast night, the Great Food Army retreats with one blow, and when the messenger sends an order to the imperial court, Xi Junmai is still organizing scouts to go out to investigate.

"Your Highness, General Xi Junmai of Zuo Wuwei is not in good command and should be held accountable." As soon as Li Jie finished getting angry, just when the needle fell in the court, a red-robed official in the civil official column on the right suddenly stood up, hugged the wat board and bowed deeply, not a big sentence, but like a drop of water dripping into the boiling oil pot, it exploded in the court hall at once.

Who doesn't know that Xi Junmai is Li Jie's most trusted general, the former Shuo Wang Taibao, the team in the team, and proposed to punish Xi Junmai at this juncture, and the political meaning of this is worth intriguing.

Especially the person who proposed it, Zheng Lun, the imperial history of the five products.

The officialdom of the Central Plains has always been the top of the five surnames and seven families, but when it comes to the officialdom of Fujian, it is just the opposite, and the most important is not the minority of the Guanlong family, such as the Hongnong Yang family, which is the outdated Jiangzuo family, and even the small family that was originally unsightly in Fujian occupies a piece of the sky.

On the other hand, the five surnames and seven families, in addition to Li Jie's own family Longxi Li family, can also be reused by the Taiyuan Wang family, but among the prime ministers of Fujian, Wang Xuance is the outcast of the Taiyuan Wang family, although the Taiyuan Wang family itself restored Wang Xuance's ancestry, but Wang Xuance, who was abandoned at a critical moment, was really angry, but instead hung on the Jiangzuo Wang family, which made the Taiyuan Wang really lose face.

As for Wang Wei, the prime minister of Fujian, this kid is also from the Wang branch, and he has no good impression of the Changfang clan.

In particular, the Cotton Textile Guild put Li Jie together, and took the lead in defecting to Li Zhi's Xingyang Zheng family, Zheng Lun, who is the leader of the five-grade imperial history, is already a leader in migrating to Tianzhu, and the rest of the Xingyang Zheng family can be imagined.

However, in Tianzhu can not help them to clear the high, indeed, in order to stabilize the local rule, a large part of the land withdrawn by the Brahmins was given to the various families who moved from the Tang Dynasty, but the right is the guarantee of the land, if they dislike the official position is too small to not be a leader, some people want to replace them, and the fertile land obtained in Tianzhu has even exceeded the Central Plains industry, no matter what, the great family can not give up.

Therefore, it became a matter of course for the King of Min to hear their voices and see their strength.

Not long after Zheng Lun finished his ceremony, more than 100 people from the Central Plains family came out of the court and bowed down together: "Your Highness, the law of the country cannot be abolished, please punish the general of the Left Guard, Xi Junmai, according to the law." ”

A large number of officials came out together, and they couldn't help but calm down the court that was talking, and looking at the officials who were righteous, Li Jie couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a word jumped into his heart.

Party strife!

In the past, the decision-making organs of Fujian were only about 30 people at most, and the rest were executors, and the concentration of power brought high efficiency and was also conducive to unity.

"Your Highness, the situation on the front line is unknown, and the coalition army has just been established, and some things are beyond the control of General Xi, so I am afraid it is inappropriate to propose punishment at this time." also discovered that this sign was wrong, and the first assistant Wang Xuance took the lead in standing up, and coldly glanced at a large number of officials with five surnames who stood up, and then said loudly.

After all, it was the prime minister, and almost all the members of the Fengtai Luan Pavilion stood up, and they also noticed that something was wrong, and Li Jingye, who was promoted to the judgment of Bing Cao, frowned and directly put forward his opinion: "Your Highness, the top priority is to determine the enemy situation of the Western Great Food Country, and the matter of punishing General Xi should be discussed later." ”

"How can Your Highness disregard the law of the country because of your feelings!" Seeing that Li Jie nodded again and again, Zheng Lun, who was in a hurry, hurriedly shouted, at this time, it was inconvenient to go to the court, but Wu Meiniang, who was sitting in the back and listening to the government, suddenly opened the curtain and stood in front, waving the special female official's big sleeve and pointing at Zheng Lun and angrily reprimanded: "Ignoring the law of the country? Good! ”

"Where does the Ministry of Agriculture, the Honglu Temple, and the Ministry of Rites have the right to judge the general's guilt? Where are the warriors in front of the palace, and they still don't pull down the group of thieves who are talking about the government and politics in vain, and hand them over to Dali Temple to deal with them! ”

In the panic of many officials, dozens of heavily armored warriors pushed the door in, and dragged out a large group of red-robed and green-robed officials who were screaming grievances in a panic.

In the Central Plains, the emperor needs the support of the family, many times he turns a blind eye, Fujian, Li Jie's backbone is the army and the power of the chamber of commerce that does not go to the court behind him, with financial power and military power, which can suppress the ethnic groups in the conquered areas, not to mention that this is still a few factions to fight a faction, let these officials cry and mourn, but no one comes out to dissuade sympathy.

Even the leading Zheng Lun was stunned on the spot, looking at his stunned appearance, a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Wu Meiniang was still so solemn and pointed at him and said: "Yushitai does have the right to supervise the mistakes of hundreds of officials, but it is Fengtai and Dali Temple that judge the mistakes of officials. ”

Things got to this point, Zheng Lun's head was already full of cold sweat, and he retreated without saying a word, and even the officials with the five surnames who survived the disaster retreated like a defeated rooster, and the court was finally cleared.

Seeing that Wu Meiniang also retreated behind the scenes just right after she was powerful, leaving the decision-making power in her hands again, Li Jie couldn't help but have a light in her eyes, no wonder people as serious as Li Zhiquan* would silently instigate Wu Meiniang's dictatorship, and the things she handled were indeed beautiful.

"Your Highness, have you organized reinforcements to rush to the Himalayan Pass to prevent the Great Food Country from invading my Tianzhu territory through other passes?" Sent away a group of troublemakers, the soldier Cao Li Jingye once again stood up to the court class and asked, thinking for a while, but Li Jie slowly shook his head.

"No, simply sending troops to defend is just turning the defensive war into a war of attrition, in that case, the heart of the Great Food Country will never be extinguished, so Lone decided to launch the Guards to have a big decisive battle with the Great Food Country in Mohenjo Daro, and completely dispel the ambition of the Great Food Country to go south."

Listening to Li Jie's passionate words, all the ministers couldn't help but be stunned, since the appearance of the Great Food Country, the King of Min seemed a little nervous, and now the northwest border has just shown a little hint, and it is about to launch a full-scale war, is it worth it?

However, Li Jie's idea is not a hot head, this matter has been carefully considered.

It is indeed a blessing to be reborn in the Tang Dynasty, but to be reborn in the Tang Dynasty, and to be a neighbor of the rising Islam, it is not a fortunate thing, money, power and land can make people fight, but the soul of the religious master can make people crazy, it is by virtue of this religious fanaticism, the Arab Empire can start from the barren Arabian Peninsula, and gradually annex the rich Syria, Egypt and even the huge rivers and mountains of Persia, and now it is the most prosperous time of the Arab Empire, and it is also the most terrible time for the Islamic army.

However, after all, this kind of fanaticism can not last long, the original impoverished ruling class can advance and retreat together, work together and share hardships, have more things, and this kind of fanaticism will be much reduced under the struggle for power, according to Li Jie's vague memory, since it will last a few more years, that is, the era of internal strife between the Sunnis and the Shiites for the position of caliph in the Arab Empire for power.

Once the Arab Umayyad dynasty is established, the chaos of the internal power struggle will give Li Jie enough opportunities to fight out of the Himalayas.

In this regard, the Byzantium of later generations also gave Li Jie some inspiration, that is, the current Byzantine Emperor Constants was cowardly and incompetent, passive defense, and saw that the weak and bullying Arabia of Byzantium went out to attack, and successively lost Syria, Egypt, Armenia, and now the last soldier Asia Minor is precarious, until Constantine IV, who ascended the throne later, resolutely fought a four-year battle against Constantinople with the Umayyad Dynasty, and broke the Arab army with Greek fire in the national decisive battle, which recovered Asia Minor.

Seeing that Byzantium could not take it for a while, the two countries maintained peace for decades, an incomparably precious peace.

Therefore, Li Jie's current strategic thinking is to put on a tough posture at the beginning, so that the Arab army, which was already exhausted, completely gave up the * of Tianzhu, and instead concentrated on maintaining the rule in Persia, and then slowly, slowly being corrupted by the fruits of Persia and Byzantium's wealth, seeing that Li Jie nodded firmly, did not say anything more, and sighed after the first assistant Wang Xuance bowed his head and promised.

The horn of war was sounded again, the ministers hung their heads, and the generals were all excited, striding out of the court, and Scar Liu knelt on the ground feverishly and bowed loudly: "The ministers are willing to be the vanguard of His Highness!" ”

"No, Lao Liu, you lead your Punjabi army to stay in Qunu City!"

One sentence was vetoed, and when Scar Liu looked up in astonishment, he was immediately buried behind by the more excited generals.

"Your Highness, Chen Su Lie is willing to be the vanguard."

"Chen Li Ye is willing to be a pioneer."

"Your Highness, please let the ministers be the vanguard, I, Xue Qingding, will overcome obstacles for Your Highness."

"How can the vanguard be served by the cavalry army, the last general crossbow must be the vanguard of His Highness!"

In the chaos, a large group of generals argued, and Li Jie was immediately dizzy .......
