What Gao Huaiyuan didn't know was that this time he sent Fu Daquan to assist Peng Yibin to resist the attack of the Jin army, but inadvertently saved Peng Yibin's life, because he didn't know that Peng Yibin in history was precisely because of this Yanshi, he died in the confrontation with the Mongols, originally Peng Yibin led the army to besiege Dongping, and it was not smooth, and then the defender Yan Shi saw that the reinforcements were hopeless, so he pretended to surrender Peng Yibin, and as a result, in the later battle between Peng Yibin and the Mongolian army, Yan Shi defected, so that Peng Yibin was defeated and died in front of the army. And this time, after Fu Daquan's elite soldiers and horses joined, it didn't take much for them to capture Zhou Zhang in Dongping, and killed Yan Shi on the spot, which was equivalent to saving Peng Yibin's life.

During this period of time, Li Quan was restrained by the Southern Song Dynasty army led by Xu Xiji in the south, so he did not dare to continue to launch a large-scale offensive against the Flying Tiger Army in Haizhou, but continued to send small groups of soldiers and horses to attack and harass in Haizhou, but Liu Chengyi, who was guarding Haizhou, was not a vegetarian, and had already been waiting for the battle, constantly sending troops to resist the attack of Li Quan's army, and in the confrontation between the two armies, Li Quan's army also failed a lot. began to die down, reducing the attack on Haizhou, so that the Flying Tiger Army's position in the Haizhou area was more stable.

Gao Huaiyuan took the time to carefully study the situation in the Jingdong area with Jia Qi and others, and finally made the decision to order Fu Daquan, Zhou Bin, Liu Chengyi and others to stop continuing to expand their territory for the time being, and let them concentrate on managing the existing territory first, so as to avoid the failure of the enemy's rash advance.

And at this point, Liu Chengyi, Zhou Jun and Gao Huaiyuan's opinions are basically unified, before that, they in Haizhou, Juzhou, Mizhou and other areas of the great agricultural reclamation, shelter refugees from all over the country, allocate land to them for large-scale reclamation and farming, in order to hold Jingdong for a long time to make preparations in advance in terms of personnel and food, only Fu Daquan is a little disapproving, during this period of time he and Peng Yibin in the west of Jinan Mansion and the Jin army have fought smoothly, and won victories again and again, so they are a little reluctant to withdraw troops back to Laiwu for training.

After Gao Huaiyuan learned of this, he personally wrote a letter to reprimand Fu Daquan, and sternly reminded him in the letter that he should first stabilize the rear and then seek to expand the territory, and even asked Fu Daquan to persuade Peng Yibin to do as much as possible according to their approach, and not to underestimate the enemy, so as to cause irreparable defeat.

After Fu Daquan received Gao Huaiyuan's letter, he no longer dared to slack off, found Peng Yibin and told Peng Yibin about Gao Huaiyuan's suggestion, and proposed to withdraw his troops back to Laiwu to rest after capturing the Daimyo's Mansion.

Peng Yibin has cooperated quite well with Fu Daquan's Flying Tiger Army during this period of time, and has received a lot of help from Fu Daquan, so he also attaches great importance to Fu Daquan's opinion, and some generals in his army also support Fu Daquan's opinion, hoping to stop continuing to attack in the northwest direction for the time being, first stabilize the situation in their jurisdiction, and rest the soldiers and horses in the map to continue to attack the territory of Jin.

After two days of discussion between the two sides in Jinan Mansion, Peng Yibin finally agreed to Fu Daquan's suggestion, promising that after the two armies captured the Daimyo's Mansion, they would stop the new offensive, start on-the-spot training, switch to the defensive position of Jin Guo and Li Quan's army, and completely rest for half a year until the summer harvest of the next year, and then plot to launch a new offensive with the combined forces.

After the news was fed back to Gao Huaiyuan's hands, Gao Huaiyuan was relieved, put down these trivial matters, and returned to the Holy Protector Army that began to be reorganized.

After Gao Huaiyuan obtained the absolute right to rule the Holy Protector Army this time, he immediately began a drastic rectification, and his first step was to brush down some low-level officers in the army who had no ability to eat dry food, regardless of whether they were happy or not, he promoted some of his own people who had been placed in the Holy Protector Army before, and took on some first-class military positions in the army, which was equivalent to increasing the control of the Holy Protector Army and ensuring that at least the low-level officers would not disobey orders.

Then the second step was to clear out the idle people in the army who were temporarily supplemented by Liu Bentang and others, and directly drove them out of the army.

The third step is to strictly enforce military discipline, and from top to bottom are not allowed to leave the barracks without permission, and at the same time abolish the previous bad habit of deducting food and salary in the army, and ensure that every soldier can receive their salary in full at the beginning of the month, so as to greatly subdue the hearts of the soldiers in the army, so that the soldiers of the Holy Protector Army are greatly praised for this, and they are deeply grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, so as to offset their resistance because of strict military discipline.

In the fourth step, Gao Huaiyuan began to secretly deploy the young Zhuang faction in the army, so that his own people could secretly observe some capable and capable people in the army, so as to continue to adjust the personnel of the Holy Protector Army in the next step, so that the Holy Protector Army would be more cohesive, so that it could respond to every call and effortlessly mobilize and command this army.

In addition to these things, Gao Huaiyuan also ordered the generals in the army to strengthen the training of soldiers, the previous Holy Protector looked very majestic, but most of the previous training was just some showmanship, and since he took charge of the Holy Army, he began to pay attention to substantive training, abandoning the previous single queue drill, and transferred the focus of training to various training in war.

This kind of thing is simple to say, but it is not easy to implement, so many people have to carry out offensive and defensive combat training, and the previous school field is obviously unable to meet their needs, so Gao Huaiyuan wrote it down on a piece of paper, and after sending it to Shi Miyuan, he opened up another site for the Holy Army fifty miles outside Lin'an City, which was specially used for the training of the Holy Army.

And Shi Miyuan now regards Gao Huaiyuan as a confidant, in order to achieve his goal of completely controlling the Holy Protector Army, so that it can be used by him when necessary, so he is very generous to Gao Huaiyuan's request, whether it is the food or armor of the Holy Protector Army, he has instructed the Third Division and the Ministry of Industry to give full distribution to ensure all the needs of the Holy Protector Army, so Gao Huaiyuan can be said to be smooth sailing and going quite smoothly when doing these things.

But Shi Miyuan did this, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the crown prince Zhao Hong's party, and immediately wrote to the official Zhao Kuo, Chen Qi's interests, and asked to depose Gao Huaiyuan and protect the holy army, but it is a pity that their words are not smooth, and these scripts were not presented to Zhao Kuo at all, so they were put aside, and as a result, Zhao Hong's party's efforts were in vain, and there was not even a splash.

With Gao Huaiyuan taking over the Holy Protector Army, Ji Xiancheng also had to admire Gao Huaiyuan's methods, although he had designed the path he would take in the future for Gao Huaiyuan when he encouraged Gao Huaiyuan to go to Beijing to take office, but according to his original plan, he just wanted Gao Huaiyuan to assist Guicheng in ascending to the throne, and then gradually use Guicheng's favor to Gao Huaiyuan, and slowly obtain important positions, in order to have a fight with Shi Miyuan in the future and sweep away Shi Dang, but he didn't expect it at the beginning, Gao Huaiyuan actually climbed from a small position of a waiter in the Yiwang Mansion to the lord of the first army in Lin'an City in just over a year.

In this way, Ji Xiancheng's plan was broken, so that he had to reconsider Gao Huaiyuan's future development, so after some careful consideration, after the New Year, Ji Xiancheng arranged for someone to find Gao Huaiyuan from the military camp outside the city.

"It's not easy to see you in the near future!" Ji Xiancheng sat on the couch and poured a cup of tea for Gao Huaiyuan with his own hands, and smiled at Gao Huaiyuan.

"Sir said with a smile, I have just taken over the Holy Protector Army during this time, and the military affairs in the army are very busy, so I rarely come back to the city, but I neglected Mr! I hope Mr. Ji will be more forgiving! Gao Huaiyuan took off his boots, sat on the couch, and replied to Ji Xiancheng.

"The young master is too polite, originally I didn't welcome the young master here, you have nothing to do with it, why do you say that you are snubbing? What's more, your takeover of the Holy Protector Army this time is a major event among the major events, and it is also appropriate to do your best, and this time Ji Mou came to you, and there is also an important matter I want to discuss with you! Ji Xiancheng waved his hand and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Mr. Ji might as well say it directly!" Gao Huaiyuan said with interest, Ji Xiancheng would not look for him to chat under normal circumstances, as long as he was looking for him, he must have something important to tell him, so he was mentally prepared.

Ji Xiancheng nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, have you ever thought that the thief ordered you to take over the unified position of the Holy Army this time, what is its purpose?" ”

After Gao Huaiyuan paused for a moment, he immediately nodded and replied: "This matter should be simple, the old thief doesn't want to make any trouble in the capital when the official family dies, and he must ensure that Guicheng can be supported to succeed to the throne!" This matter should be the old thief laying the foreshadowing in advance! ”

Ji Xiancheng shook his head and said, "The young master is still thinking a little too shallowly, I'm afraid this matter won't be so simple!" I've been thinking about this matter here for a while these days, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter is not as simple as we thought at first, and it wasn't until yesterday that Ji Mou thought about it!

Young master, listen to Ji Mou's analysis for you, on the surface, there is nothing wrong with you thinking so, but according to the news coming out of the womb these days, it is not easy for the old thief to abolish the prince, although Guicheng is very favored by the saint and the queen because of you, but in terms of blood, he is far less close to the current prince Zhao Hong and the official family, which is also the reason why the official family still refuses to depose the prince, but it still has to be nodded by the official!

If the official family refuses to agree this time, then the old thief has nothing to do! In the end, in order to save his life, once the official family dies, then he can only take risks, rely on you to seize power by force, and launch a mutiny in Lin'an City, either he changes the dynasty and replaces the current Zhao dynasty with his historian, or he will take you as the leader and put Guicheng on the throne to ensure that he has no worries for the rest of his life!

At present, it seems that it is unlikely that the thief himself will ascend the throne as the emperor, after all, although he can cover the sky with one hand in the court, but the local officials may not be able to obey him, then his biggest possibility is to launch a mutiny with you, push Guicheng to the throne, and sit on a puppet emperor, and you seem to be the first to do in this matter, but in essence, it is equivalent to becoming his scapegoat, attracting the scolding of the world!

So I think that this time the thief asked you to take over as the commander of the Holy Protector Army, not all because of you, but because of deeper consideration, he wanted to push you to the foreground and become the target of the public! I'm afraid that's not what you might expect! ”
