readx; Ji Guangchen finally decided to surrender to Li Qing'an on the third day after he was captured, he was deeply touched by the Anxi army that was guarding him, there were a total of sixteen soldiers guarding him, except for these sixteen, no one cared about him, which made him have a trace of the idea of escaping, and he had been waiting for an opportunity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sixteen men were divided into four squads, each of which guarded him for three hours, but in the three hours not a single soldier was slack, and they were like sixteen statues, preoccupied with guarding the four corners of his tent, without laughter, without any jokes, without even any communication, and were frighteningly silent.

As long as he had the slightest movement, the soldiers immediately came to check and recorded it, and he also paid special attention to the change of guard, the soldiers arrived on time, the score was not bad, no one spoke, signed and handed over, and the military regulations were very strict.

On the first day, Ji Guangchen was surprised, he didn't expect that the ordinary soldiers of the Anxi Army were so rigorous, and at the same time, his heart was full of sneers, Li Guangbi did it on purpose to show him! The next day, he slowly deflated, and the Anxi army guards were impeccable, leaving him without any chance of escaping.

And on the third day, he finally felt shocked, he had already seen that this was not Li Guangbi deliberately done it for him, this is the consistent style of Anxi Army, rigorous and meticulous.

Ji Guangchen began to ponder, from this small detail, he saw the strict military discipline style of the Anxi Army, and this style can not be rectified in one day or two, it takes several years or even more than ten years of persistence to form, in contrast, Li Heng's Guanzhong Army seems to be very loose military discipline, many people are here for mixed army food and military salary, as soon as they encounter a tragic war, they surrender or flee, his army is like this, 30,000 people were attacked by 20,000 Anxi cavalry, and it was chaotic, and the vast majority of them surrendered or fled, Only more than 2,000 people thought of resisting, what if it was the Anxi army instead? Ji Guangchen believes that even if they are attacked by a sneak attack, even if the soldiers of the Anxi Army are in their own positions, they will fight to the end with the sneak attack army, and even with their rigor and attention to scouts, it will be difficult to be attacked at all.

It was this contrast that made Ji Guangchen, who had always been prejudiced against the Anxi army, begin to reflect on himself, and he felt the gap between Li Heng and Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an's Anxi army was tempered from countless bloody battles, and what about Li Heng's army? The vast majority of soldiers have not even experienced a decent war, can they be compared?

He originally thought that Li Heng would defeat Li Qing'an, and he Ji Guangchen would win Li Heng's respect with his loyalty, but now he knew how naïve his idea was, not to mention that Li Heng would not trust him at all, even if he would trust, Li Heng would not have this opportunity, Li Heng would inevitably be defeated in the hands of Li Qing'an, the soldiers in the Central Plains were too lazy, and they could not defeat the murderous Anxi army at all.

Ji Guangchen began to think about his future, at this time he put aside his arrogance and scholarly spirit, and he finally found that he actually had only one way, that is, to surrender Li Qing'an as soon as possible, and he would have a chance to be reactivated.

In this way, he thought about it for three days, and finally expressed his willingness to surrender to Li Guangbi on the way to Luoyang.

In the vast rain and fog, Ji Guangchen was taken into Li Qing'an's big tent by several soldiers, and it rained heavily, although some soldiers held an umbrella for him, he was still soaked by the wind and rain.

At this time, in the big tent, Li Qingan had already finished talking with Li Guangbi, Li Qingan sat in the position of the coach to review the folds sent from Anxi, and did not raise his head, while Li Guangbi sat aside, he looked a little helpless, he didn't understand why Li Qingan was so cold to Ji Guangchen.

Li Qingan actually met this Ji Guangchen a long time ago when he was in Chang'an, at that time they were both Zhonglang generals, in his memory, this Ji Guangchen is extremely proficient in the art of war, and he is the first to speak, although it is a bit of a feeling of talking about the army, but Li Qingan also has to admit that this person is indeed an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, not only can lead troops to fight, but also govern states and counties.

On the other hand, this Ji Guangchen is very arrogant, neither befriending the powerful of the family, nor paying attention to ordinary generals like him with no background, because of this, for such a person, Li Qingan does not want to treat him too preferentially, which will make him even more arrogant, only by severely frustrating his arrogance, he will die for himself.

Ji Guangchen was taken into the big tent, no one handed him a dry towel to wipe his face, and no one sent him ginger soup to warm him up, he stood alone in front of the tent, a little overwhelmed, at this time, a gust of wind and rain blew, making him shiver, and he reacted that he had surrendered Li Qingan.

He hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Ji Guangchen, the general of the defeated army, see His Royal Highness King Zhao of Anxi Jiedu!" ”

Li Qingan still ignored him, but Li Guangbi next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he reminded him with a smile: "Has General Ji decided to serve our general?" ”

Ji Guangchen's face was swollen and red, it was really difficult for him to say what he wanted to do, but he knew that he had to express his position, he gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to serve the general!" ”

Li Qingan's face softened slightly, he gave his soldiers a look, and then said slowly: "General Ji, please get up!" ”

The two soldiers helped him up and handed him a dry towel and ginger tea, Ji Guangchen silently wiped the rain off his face with a towel, but shook his head at ginger tea, saying that he didn't need it.

"Thank you, General!"

Li Qingan still ignored him, Ji Guangchen didn't speak, lowered his head, his former arrogance was completely invisible to him at this time, after a while, Li Qingan put down his pen and said lightly: "I don't know what General Ji's plans are in the future?" ”

"I am willing to listen to the general's arrangement."

"What if I don't let you join the army anymore?"

Ji Guangchen didn't understand the meaning of Li Qingan's words, he sighed and said, "Then I'm willing to go home and farm!" ”

"Oh!" Li Qingan smiled slightly, and asked him again: "I don't know how many acres of land General Ji's family has?" ”

Ji Guangchen's family is a big family in Luoyang, but his own family does not have much land, and his parents only left him 100 acres of land. ”

For the official to be honest and honest, not greedy for the sergeant's salary, this is also one of Ji Guangchen's advantages, Li Qingan takes a fancy to him, he nodded, and said to him: "I just said, I don't want General Ji to join the army again for the time being, it just so happens that Huaizhou Taishou was transferred away last month, and the new Taishou has not yet decided, so you can go to Huaizhou to be a Taishou!" At the same time, he also served as the training envoy of the Huaizhou regiment. ”

Huaizhou is located north of the Yellow River, which is the area of Jiaozuo in Henan today, and also belongs to Dugi Province, although Ji Guangchen does not understand why Li Qingan does not let himself join the army, and goes to politics as a taishou, but since he has surrendered to Li Qingan, he naturally has to obey the arrangement, and being a taishou is far stronger than he originally expected, he thought that he would be demoted to a Zhonglang general.

This shows that Li Qingan still values himself very much, Ji Guangchen was excited, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "I am willing to go to Huaizhou to take up my post!" ”

"Hmmm! I should call you Ji Envoy Jun now. ”

The smile on Li Qingan's face disappeared, and he said solemnly to Ji Guangchen: "You go to Huaizhou, you have to do two things for me within this year, first, you must train farmers in accordance with my Anxi regimental training and armor protection law, issue them weapons, and hide soldiers among the people, the minimum limit I give you is to train 30,000 regiments to train militiamen, there is no upper limit on the number of people, the more the merrier, if An Lushan invades the south, Huaizhou will also be the first to suffer, I don't want the people of Huaizhou to become slaughtered lambs, do you understand?" ”

Ji Guangchen's heart was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "I understand my humble position!" ”

Seeing his sincere attitude, Li Qing'an's face gradually softened a little, and said: "The second is to cooperate with Shi Peizhen, the governor of Henan Prefecture and Dugi Province, to carry out land restrictions, Huaizhou has thirteen powerful people's land is within the scope of the restriction, involving a total of 27,000 hectares of fertile land, the specific list Pei Zhen will give you, you must be in the field before the end of the year, and you must not neglect the law because the landlord is Li Heng's person, otherwise I will rule you by military law." ”

"I don't dare to be lowly, in fact, I also support the restriction of fields, and for the general to limit the fields, the lowly positions also have their own ideas."

"Yes! What are your thoughts, tell me about it? Li Qingan asked with interest.

Ji Guangchen was about to speak, but Li Qingan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ji Yuanjun sit down and say!" ”

Li Guangbi next to him got up and said with a smile: "Since we are talking about the text, then I will leave first." ”

"Nope! You also sit down and listen. ”

Li Qing'an didn't allow him to go, he knocked on the table, and said with some displeasure: "You one, Li Siye one, they only know how to fight, not to mention Li Fei Yuanli, just a rough person, this is not good, you should learn like Duan Xiushi, not only martial arts, but also can govern, in the future you can stand alone, especially the land issue, this is the fundamental problem of the rise and fall of all dynasties, thousands of years ago, thousands of years later, you have to be patient to listen to it!" ”

Li Qing'an's tone became more and more stern, Li Guangbi wiped the sweat on his forehead, he knew that his lord would not pay attention to ordinary small things, but he was very strict in fundamental matters, he did not dare to argue, so he sat up straight, ready to listen.

Li Qingan didn't say much, and said to Ji Guangchen: "Say it!" ”

Ji Guangchen saw that Li Qing'an also reprimanded Li Guangbi mercilessly, and he was even more afraid of Li Qing'an in his heart, he sat down slowly, sorted out his thoughts and said: "I think that the general's land restriction should be targeted, and everyone can't fight together, now it should be to ease the land annexation, rather than completely overthrowing the reform, which will cause the landlords all over the world to rise up against the general, Wang Mang in the Han Dynasty was too radical, and offended the world's heroes, so that his new dynasty was short-lived, I hope the general will not repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Although there is nothing new in what Ji Guangchen said, many people have reminded Li Qing'an, but it is commendable that he can see this as a general, Li Qing'an nodded and said: "Tell me, who should I target to restrict the field?" ”

Ji Guangchen thought for a while and said: "The general also said just now, it is the magnates who have taken refuge in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the reason why these people have taken refuge in the Southern Tang Dynasty is to oppose the generals, and it is natural to take them for granted, I think the generals are also doing the same, and there is also a big family with land, and they are also easy to start, I advise the generals to take advantage of them." ”

"Are you talking about temples?" Li Qingan asked with a smile.

"It's the temple!"

Ji Guangchen saw that Li Qing'an understood his thoughts, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Since the era of Wu Zetian, the Buddhist temple has become more and more intense, and it is no less than the clan magnates occupying the land, which is a major tumor in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I advised the general to start to act against the world's monasteries after restricting the land of the powerful clans of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so that it could not only ease the land annexation, but also not be hated by the world's famous families, what does the general think? ”

Ji Guangchen is actually selfish, his Ji family is a famous family in Luoyang, he is very aware of their class's worries about the future, they are afraid that Li Qing'an's new policy will affect their vital interests, if that is the case, they will definitely stand up against Li Qing'an's regime, Ji Guangchen supports Li Heng to a large extent, it is because Li Heng clearly promised to protect the interests of their class, as a relevant interest of the famous family, Ji Guangchen of course hopes to have the opportunity to persuade Li Qing'an, at least to tell Li Qing'an, The idea of their class, today was supposed to be his first appointment after surrendering, but he inadvertently got this opportunity, and Ji Guangchen seized this opportunity to express his wish to Li Qingan.

As far as Li Qing'an is concerned, more than one person has raised this issue to him, including the Pei family, the Cui family, the Lu family, the Dugu family, etc., they all hope that Li Qing'an's new policy will not involve too much and not infringe on the interests of famous families.

Just as quantitative changes accumulate to a certain extent, qualitative changes will occur, Ji Guangchen's words were Li Qingan's first persuasion after he began to chase the Central Plains, so that Li Qingan had to calm down and consider his next political strategy.

Sending away Ji Guangchen and Li Guangbi, Li Qingan stood in front of the tent with his hands behind his back, he stared at the wind and rain in the night, but his thoughts fluctuated in his heart, a political party in history, or a strong person, if he wants to win the world, he must rely on one class, and defeat the other class, what class does he Li Qingan need to rely on?

'Dependent on the peasant class?' ’

Li Qing'an shook his head, from ancient times to the present, the people who have seized the world have always used the peasant class, not relying on the peasant class, Liu Han, Li Tang, Zhao Song, and Zhu Ming are all like this, but they can take the world right away, and how can they sit in the world right away, the Qin Dynasty does not know the current affairs, overthrew the Warring States aristocracy, but failed to cultivate a new class to rely on in time, tyranny in the world, the people's hearts were lost, and they were used by the old aristocracy, so that the second died; The same is true of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui established the system of three provinces and six ministries, the purpose was to completely destroy the gate valve system since the Han and Jin dynasties, but it violated the interests of famous families, and also because there was no new class to rely on, as a result, the world was all against the powerful, so that Sui II died, and finally Li Tang picked the fruits of Emperor Wen of Sui.

History told Li Qing'an with its resolute attitude of never looking back that the deceased has passed, and only those who come can be chased, and it is his wise move to follow the trend, relying on the famous family to destroy the Li Tang clan, and then establish a new class to destroy the family of the gate lord, and as long as he envelops the peasant class, the family of the gate valve has no basis for rebelling against him.

This is his world.
