Chapter 309: Opening the Base

The impact of the Weizhou army's blitzkrieg on Fengxiang is still fermenting, and the jiedu envoys in the surrounding towns are panicked, this Weizhou has made a mysterious weapon silently, and the people and horses are easily bombarded by artillery palm thunder in front of Weizhou, since they can't beat it, then it's good to hide in the city, but now they can't hide in the city, and the Weizhou army will be able to collapse the city wall in a few days.

Therefore, the surrounding states and counties that did not have strongmen to sit in the town came to Weizhou to ask for surrender, asking to worship under the command of King Ji as officials, because the Weizhou army was full of joy, after all, Weizhou was strong, and they also followed.

No matter where you go, you will be looked up to and everyone likes it. But Li Bao didn't care about these little things, he still wanted to seize the opportunity to expand Weizhou's strength.

When Zheng Zheng attacked Huangchao for the second time, Jingyuan Jiedu made Cheng Zongchu and Tianxiong Jiedu make Tang Hongfu venture to die, and now these two territories Shuzhong Imperial Court has not sent a new Jiedu envoy, Li Bao had thought about these two territories when he was in Tubo before, because he still wanted to keep a low profile at that time.

Now that Weizhou has occupied Fengxiang, Weizhou's fangs have been revealed, and these two pieces of territory will not be taken for nothing. So Li Bao convened a military meeting to discuss the issue of capturing the two major towns of Jingyuan and Tianxiong.

A huge military map hung over the hall of the conference room, which was specially made by Zhang Hui and his secretary, and she did not waste time during Li Bao's absence from Weizhou. Seeing such a fine map, the high-ranking officials of the Weizhou Army were full of praise for the secretary and supervisor.

The voices of the civil officials and military generals were very loud, and they could also hear everyone's appreciation in the secretary and supervisor's study, Zhang Hui's heart was beautiful, but his eyes kept staring at Li Bao. Li Baoduan sat on the main seat and was handling his official business during the time he was away from Weizhou. There was no expression on his face, it was very serious.

The more Zhang Hui looked at Li Bao, the more he felt that he was attractive, with a handsome appearance, a rui and resolute temperament and continuous whimsy. How can such a man not be fascinating?

It's just that he is a child of the royal family, and now he is not doing something in Weizhou that is only done by the royal family, which shows that he has great ambitions, how can she not be intoxicated with such a Langjun?

Zhang Hui understands that she is just an ordinary eunuch, she has neither the affectionate and pure kindness of Ling'er, nor the bewitching nature of Xinniang, nor the elegance and tranquility of Yunfang, nor is she as scholarly as Zheng Yan.

She can only rely on her own diligence to win the attention of the king, the king is not a ruthless person, he understands her diligence, and he also sees her efforts, so the king specially praised her work and diligence after returning from Tibet.

Today's military council Li Bao decided to let her participate too, she understands that the work she has done during this time has been recognized by the king, and Zhang Hui is still very happy about this. She knew that the king had her in his heart and had been watching her all along.

The hour was almost up, and Hu Sanbao came to Li Bao's side and asked, "The officials in His Highness's kingdom have arrived, and His Highness should go to the meeting." ”

Li Bao looked up at the sky outside, then put down the pen in his hand, and then said to Zhang Hui not far away: "Let's go, Mrs. Zhang." ”

Zhang Hui heard Li Bao's greeting, and immediately got up and ran to Li Bao, and then stretched out his hand to pull Li Bao and walked out the door.

Li Bao held Zhang Hui's hand, feeling that this little lady's hand was soft and boneless, very warm, and then looking at her bright face, he gently held her Rouyi, and then faced the glow of the rising sun, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously revealed the curvature.

Arriving at the door of the conference hall, Li Bao stopped, and then let go of Zhang Hui's hand, who naturally turned around and came to Li Bao's side, helped Li Bao tidy up his appearance, and then stepped back and stood behind Li Bao.

Li Bao looked at this well-behaved and virtuous woman, and was very satisfied, he smiled at her again, and then walked into the hall. As soon as everyone saw that Li Bao was coming, they all got up and saluted together.

Li Bao asked everyone to sit down flat, and then pointed to the empty seats in the hall and said to Zhang Hui: "Mrs. Zhang, where to sit." ”

Zhang Hui did as he was told.

Many officials in the hall watched Zhang Hui and a woman enter their camp like this. It is not that there are no women in the military discussion in peacetime, but Zhang Hui's identity is very special, because she is Li Bao's concubine. Today's military conference actually allowed his concubine to participate, which in itself is unusual.

But no matter how unusual Zhang Hui is, she is just a woman. Besides, today's theme is still military discussions, so everyone's eyes are still on the giant map.

Li Bao was expressionless, and said to everyone in the audience: "The theme of today's military discussion must be known to everyone, and the capture of Tianxiong Town and Jingyuan Town this time is an extremely difficult decision for our Weizhou. ”

Li Bao's words made everyone a little confused, but some people understood why Li Bao said this, including Zhang Hui.

The generals were most interested in attacking and conquering, but since Li Bao said so, they didn't dare to make a noise, Song Wentong, as the representative of the current generals in Weizhou, got up and said: "Why does Your Highness say this, let's take the territory as soon as possible, won't we be able to achieve the goal set by Your Highness earlier?" ”

The goal that Song Wentong said was well known to everyone present. What is the picture of the big guy coming and going in the sword every day, fighting for territory and grabbing people's heads, all for a common goal.

Now the territory is there, but His Highness said that it was difficult, so the generals couldn't figure it out. Li Bao smiled: "The current number of our army in Weizhou is only 12,000 people, but we already have Pingnan Town and Shannan Xidao Town, a few days ago you have captured Fengxiang Town, and now we have occupied more than ten states under our command, our army and the number of middle-level officials are not enough, if we blindly expand, but can not digest our territory well, it will be very difficult for us to achieve our goals in the future." ”

Li Bao's words made the generals present understand, but at this time, Jingyuan Town in the north of Weizhou and Tianxiong Town in the south are ownerless, if Weizhou does not take this opportunity to take it as soon as possible, I don't know what year and month it will be if I want to capture it in the future.

Jing Xiang knew Li Bao's thoughts, and he could also see the importance of this opportunity for the development of Weizhou, so he got up and said: "The minister has a word, and I would like to ask Your Highness and your colleagues to listen to it." ”

Li Bao nodded to Jing Xiang and then spoke: "Please speak about Jing joining the army." ”

Jing Xiang came to the map, picked up the long pole and pointed to Weizhou on the map, and then said: "You can see from the map that our Weizhou is currently located, at the intersection of Fengxiang, Jingyuan and Tianxiong three towns, in the past, when Weizhou just returned to the Tang Dynasty, Weizhou was under the jurisdiction of Jingyuan Town, and later Zheng Situ went out of Fengxiang Town, and after playing the Ming sage, Weizhou was assigned to Fengxiang, in fact, under the governance of our Ambassador Zhang.

For example, today Xiong and Jingyuan two towns are vacancies, waiting for the Shuzhong court to send people to I don't know what year and month, Jingyuan and Tianxiong two towns are located in the key passes, Qinzhou and Chengzhou in Tianxiong Town are the key passages in and out of Shuzhong Tubo and Hexi trade roads in Shannan, and Jingzhou in Jingyuan Town is the key pass to Lingzhou and Hexi.

Moreover, Weizhou is poor, and the land in Jingyuan Town is fertile and suitable for the development of agriculture. Jingzhou is also the gateway of the capital Chang'an, Jingzhou 'outside the Heshuo, inside when Longkou, with Qin Liang, support Wei Jifu, Guanzhong stability, all in Jingzhou also'. Moreover, Jingzhou "controls the throat of the two regions, and is the gateway to the border, which can strengthen the suit and control the distance."

Once there is a slight change in Hexi, Jingyuan Town can reach the towns of Hexi faster, which is also convenient for Weizhou to better control the trade routes in Hexi. And the terrain of Jingyuan is longer and more high, which can always put pressure on the pseudo-Qi forces in Chang'an City.

Although we are now short of manpower and troops, the prestige of the Weizhou Army has already started after several of our attacks, as long as we attack with our prestige, Tianxiong and Jingyuan will definitely fall in the wind. ”

Speaking of this, the meaning of Jing Xiang's words is already very clear, no matter what difficulties there are at this time, you must occupy these two square towns.

In fact, Li Bao agreed, because he had another layer of hidden worries in his heart, the two big towns in Weizhou Jiguo, Pingnan Town and Shannan Xidao Town, although Weizhou is the center of Li Bao Group in Weizhou, but the imbalance between Weizhou and Shannan will slowly expand with time, so he wants to take this opportunity to expand the weight of Weizhou and avoid Shannan becoming bigger.

This layer of thought is very secretive, and it is inconvenient for him to announce it, so now that he has the opportunity, Li Bao can't let it go. But he looked at the many officials in the hall and said, "Do the others still have opinions?" ”

For a while, there was no objection in the hall, and Li Bao patted the case and said: "Since everyone has no opinion, let's prepare to capture the two towns according to what Jing Senjun said." The military affairs of the Ji Kingdom, Zhang Senjun, and the Song Commander negotiated the plan for sending troops and the regulations for recruiting new troops as early as possible. ”

Zhang Chengfan and Song Wentong got up and agreed, and then many generals got up and left, and the rest were all civil officials.

Now that the matter of sending troops has been determined, then it is necessary to consider how to deal with the reproaches of the court, although Weizhou has accumulated strength to prepare for hegemony in the world, but after all, it has not yet torn its face with the court, and they must take into account the reaction of the court.

So Li Bao threw his question to the remaining civil officials.

After listening to Li Bao's question, Wei Zhuang smiled slightly, then got up and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the reaction of the imperial court, now that we have captured Fengxiang, the imperial court must have gotten the news, but the imperial court has not issued an edict to set up Fengxiang Jiedu envoys, which means that the imperial court still has face for Zheng Situ."

Therefore, the subordinates thought that since Zheng Situ was still a guest with us, we could make a statement to the imperial court in the name of Zheng Situ, saying that Jingyuan and Tianxiong two towns would not be easy to hang for a long time, and then use Zheng Situ's reputation to lead the three towns and festivals. In this way, it can not only block the accountability of the imperial court, but also facilitate us to govern the three towns well. ”

Speaking of this, Li Bao's eyes lit up, this Wei Zhuang was right, he could use Zheng Zheng as a pretext to lead the envoy of the Three Towns Festival. In that case, no one will say that Weizhou is not, and Weizhou can develop in a low-key manner.

However, this matter must be said hello to Zheng Jin, Yang Yan in Shuzhong, Ximen Kuangfan and others, presumably with their energy at this time, it is not difficult to move the emperor to agree to this matter.

Besides, no matter how powerful Tian Lingzi is now, he has to look at the face of King Taji, otherwise the tribute from other towns will not want to pass through the land of Shannan West Road.

Thinking of this, Li Bao was in a good mood, and when he thought of the scene where Tian Lingzi had to bow his head, he was even more excited, so when he saw Zhang Hui in the hall who was flirting with him, he was even more emotional, and it was better to accept this Queen Zhang with a peach blossom face today.
