Chapter 813: Let them make trouble

The army only rested in Qingzhang for three days, and Li Daozong rushed to Zhuojun with 100,000 horses. He had an army of 100,000 men, and none of them were familiar except for the hundreds of his own soldiers. Of these soldiers and horses, 40,000 are from Xue Wanche's department, and the others are from Xu Shiji's army.

Of the 60,000 people in Xu Shiji's army, none of the soldiers were Li Tang's soldiers at the beginning. Li Daozong's headquarters had 100,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were allocated by Li Xian to Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang. And Xue Wanche rushed to Boling County with 80,000 horses, and there were no veterans under his command that he was used to, most of them were Jiangdu soldiers brought by Zhang Liang from the south.

The war between the south and the north was out of place. Therefore, Xue Wanche was worried before leaving, but Cui Qian didn't think anything about it, but instead congratulated Xue Wanche three times.

Xue Wanche was puzzled: "You just mentioned the day before yesterday that the 100,000 horses and horses allocated by the lord to Li Daozong are all elite soldiers and strong generals under the command of General Xu, a small half of them are the northern soldiers under my command who are accustomed to good fighting, and more than half are the Yanyun army under the command of General Xu, all of whom are elite in a hundred battles, so the reason for this distribution is that the lord is still not very at ease with Li Daozong...... But the lord gave me 60,000 southern soldiers, and most of them were new soldiers, doesn't this make me even more distrustful? You came to congratulate me, why can't I see where the joy is? ”

Cui Qian said with a smile: "The general has a clear mind, but he didn't see it when he drilled the tip of the horns for a while." The lord's move...... It means a lot. ”

"I want to hear about it"

Xue Wanche solemnly clenched his fists and asked: "Obviously, you gave all the soldiers who are good at fighting to Li Daozong, and allocated the recruits to me, why do you say that you don't trust Li Daozong, but it is different for me?" ”

Cui Qian smiled and said: "General, this matter is actually extremely simple, but the general is worried in his heart, so he can't see it thoroughly...... General, think about it, why did the lord allocate 100,000 soldiers who were good at fighting to Li Daozong, and most of them were the elite of the Yanyun army? Because these soldiers are loyal to the lord, they are all veterans from Yanyun Village, Dongping County, and their loyalty to the lord is extremely difficult to shake. These soldiers and horses, even if they are handed over to Li Daozong, but if Li Daozong really has the heart of disobedience, can he command the movement? ”

"On the contrary, if Li Daozong really has any strange thoughts, I am afraid that those generals from the Yanyun Army will immediately lead troops against him! It is true that these veterans are good at fighting, but the general should also understand that it is difficult to get them to oppose the lord. ”

Cui Qian patiently explained: "And the lord's allocation to you are all recruits, which seems to be favoritism, and it is quite unfair to you, the general, but in my opinion, because of this, it shows that the lord has great trust in you, the general." The general has led the troops all the year round, so he naturally understands a truth...... Although the combat power of the new recruits is not enough to be compared with the veterans, if the general trains it himself, it will not take long, and this is a team loyal to the general. ”

"The recruits have given you, and that is your deployment. It only takes a few battles for these soldiers to be imprinted with the mark of the Great General. The lord has given the general a personal soldier to you, the lord's trust in the general, doesn't the general understand? ”

"Haha!"

After Xue Wanche heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Listening to your words is like pushing aside the dark clouds and seeing the bright moon." Thorough, bright! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be hard for me to figure this out. ”

Cui Qian waved his hand and smiled: "If the general can't figure out this layer, how can the lord hand over the people and horses to you with confidence?" ”

Xue Wanche laughed, his face relieved.

Within two days, the men and horses sent out by Li Xian were drawn one after another, one to the northwest and the other to the northeast, and the army of more than 600,000 was divided into nearly 200,000, and even the camp seemed a little empty. After these two armies are pulled, the remaining nearly 450,000 horses are about to move westward, and the goal is the last important town in Hebei...... The city of Zhaozhou.

Before the army started, Li Xian specially sent someone to call Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng to discuss military affairs and state affairs. The two of them didn't dare to delay and hurried over. Li Xian ordered the relatives who were waiting in the big tent to withdraw, and only he, Xu Shiji, and Xie Yingdeng were left in the tent.

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng saw that the two of them had been summoned by the lord, and they immediately understood what the lord meant. Now that incident, only the three of them are known in the army.

"Sit down"

Li Xian waved his hand, pointed to the two plates of dim sum on the table and said, "This is the apricot yellow crisp made by Jia'er herself, but it just happened to be accompanied by japonica rice porridge." I hurriedly called the two of you here, and it is expected that the two of you have not eaten breakfast. You two have a good mouth, although this apricot yellow cake is not a precious thing, but the two of you can not eat it from time to time. ”

There were also two bowls of steaming japonica rice porridge on the table, apparently specially prepared by him.

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng thanked each other, and sat down beside Li Xian. In addition to the two plates of dim sum on the table, there are also a few exquisite side dishes, but the amount of dishes is not very large. Both of them knew that the lord was thrifty, and what he didn't like the most was extravagance and waste.

"In terms of military affairs, the solitary ones who should be arranged have already been arranged. You are all here in the past few days, so we won't mention it. ”

Li Xian took a bite of the side dish and ate it with japonica rice porridge. While eating, he said: "Although the city of Zhaozhou is strong, it is not as good as Luoyang Chang'an. No matter how scheming Wang Yan is, he can't necessarily compare to those green forest tycoons at the beginning. Attention, but not too much caution. If you're too careful, you'll lose your sharpness. ”

"That's what the lord said."

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng nodded, eating a little carefully.

"Eat first!"

Li Xian saw that the two of them were very restrained, and smiled: "The day of grabbing meat in a pot to eat was just yesterday, how can you be so restrained now." Forget it, let's discuss it after eating. ”

The two of them nodded hurriedly, but where could they still act as eclectic as before. It was then, and now it is now. The pacification of Hebei by the army is just around the corner, and after returning to Chang'an, King Yan is promoted to the throne and called the emperor is already an irreversible trend. If you do it as you have done in the past, you will lose the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

……

……

"Is the porridge delicious?"

Li Xian put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked with a smile.

"This is when the morning is not yet dawn, the two of them got up and did it. There is no need to be welcome, speaking of which, the cooking skills of the two of them are really far behind the martial arts, but it is rare to be a heart. ”

"The ......"

Xu Shiji also put down the dishes and chopsticks, smiled wryly and said, "It's a little confused." ”

"Haha!"

Li Xian smiled and said, "But when you eat it alone, it is very sweet." Lone said, "You do things...... No matter whether you do it well or not, as long as you do it with all your heart, you will be satisfied. ”

"Thank you for your trust!"

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng hurriedly got up and saluted.

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Sit down, there is no one else, just you and me." It's still the same as before, and it's comfortable to speak openly and brightly. Since I have brought you two here, you are both extremely smart, and you know what it is when you think about it, so let's talk about it...... What do you guys think. ”

He gestured to the chair next to him and motioned for the two of them to sit down. He pulled a book out of the shelf and flipped it over where the pages had been folded last night.

"Lord...... The things in Chang'an City should be sooner rather than later, although there are only faint signs, but if that person really has this thought, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything dirty. Although it is insignificant, the lord knows that he will feel sick in his heart. Since the people of the Military Inspectorate have already noticed the signs, it is better to make plans as soon as possible. ”

Xu Shiji leaned over and whispered.

He glanced at Xie Yingdeng, and Xie Yingdeng immediately nodded and said: "That's what the minister meant, although there is no big wind and waves, but after all, it looks an eyesore." ”

"Let's not talk about that."

Li Xian said casually while reading the book: "Among the few people left behind in Chang'an City, Fang Xuanling Gu has been urgently transferred to Zhuo County, and now the remaining few are in charge, what do you think." ”

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng's hearts were tight, and they didn't understand whether there was any vague meaning in Li Xian's words. Now in charge of Chang'an City, the head of the civil officials is Du Ruhui, who is also an old minister from Yan Yunjun, and as the prime minister, he is already extremely favored, and it is expected that he will never collude with those little people. Cheng Mingzhen, the general who led the troops to guard Chang'an City, was cautious and cautious, and judging from the past, this person also adhered to the way of being a minister, and it was expected that nothing should happen.

As for the others......

Xie Yingdeng is the head of the Military Inspectorate Department, so he naturally spoke first about this matter: "Regarding this matter, Du Ruhui's excerpt and the secret report of the Military Inspectorate Department arrived in the same few days, and the excerpt was jointly signed by him and Cheng Mingzhen, so Lord Du and General Cheng can naturally trust it." ”

"Lone knows, let's talk about others."

"The imperial envoy Wei Zheng is upright, and it will be fine."

Xu Shiji said.

"Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, Tang Jian, they are all former ministers of Li Tang, no one knows better than them what can be touched and what cannot be touched. They were already worried in their hearts, and they were afraid that it would be too late to hide, and naturally they would not have this disobedience. It's just that if there is really a traitor to the party and plot rebellion, he will also secretly visit a few of them. After all, in Chang'an City, the influence of a few of them is still very great. ”

Xie Yingdeng analyzed.

"Hmmm......"

Li Xian hummed and asked, "What do you think of the one in the palace." ”

"This ......"

Xie Yingdeng and Xu Shiji glanced at each other, and they couldn't speak.

"But it's okay to say it, it's lonely, there are no outsiders here today, what do you have to worry about."

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng both involuntarily took a breath, and then almost at the same time stood up and kneeled down: "Lord, the one in the palace can't stay!" ”

"Can't stay?"

Li Xian's gaze left the book and looked at the two of them.

"Can't stay!"

Xu Shiji said solemnly: "If there is no such person, those young people in the court are afraid and dare not easily rebel." Even if some of them are unwilling, how dare they easily touch that bottom line? It was precisely because of that person that they felt that they had the opportunity to be extremely powerful. Taking advantage of the absence of the lord in Chang'an, he changed the power of the dynasty, disobedient and disrespectful, and said ...... The man in the palace is the source of the disaster. ”

Xie Yingdeng's words were more simple and direct: "I needed him at the beginning, but now I ...... No need. ”

……

……

In the big tent, Li Xian leaned back on a chair covered with a tiger skin to read. He hung his head slightly, looking very focused. Next to the table not far from him, there was also a woman in a white dress with a graceful body. She knelt on the side of the table, her figure was straight, and her waist was even more slender and proud.

She's making tea, and her posture is extremely beautiful. Her movements are gentle and soothing, don't say that she smells the fragrance of tea, tastes the rhyme of tea, just looks at her wonderful body technique, which is also refreshing.

"It's so nice to make tea...... Except for Ye Huaisleeve, no one can compare to you. ”

Li Xian put down the book in his hand, and then the teacup handed over by the eldest grandson Wujian smiled and said, "I heard that your brother has not eaten and slept well in the past two days, but is it true?" ”

The eldest grandson pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes...... I looked at the whole person and was a lot haggard. This time, he can be regarded as offending the generals in the army, and when the world is settled in the future...... I'm afraid that there will be more scolding him. ”

Li Xian picked the corners of his mouth, put down the teacup and asked, "Did Eldest Sun Wuji mention this matter to you?" ”

"No...... It was the concubine's random speculation. ”

"You're wise, better than most of the courtiers. So Lone asks you...... If there are people in Chang'an City who are ready to move now, and want to take advantage of the days of being alone from the capital for a long time to cause some trouble, and some of them have been convicted, then how should they be handled? ”

"The concubines don't dare to discuss politics."

The eldest grandson bowed his head.

"Let's talk about it, Gu wants to know, what is the difference between your opinion and Xu Shiji Xie Yingdeng."

The eldest grandson Wujian pondered for a while and said, "Want to come...... General Xu Da and Xie Da both advised the lord that it was better to quell the chaos sooner rather than later...... From the point of view of being a courtier, it is true. The capital is the top priority, so it's better not to mess up naturally than not to mess up...... However, from your point of view, it may be better to wait. ”

Li Xian frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you are a man, you can worship as the prime minister." Du Ruyan is decisive, but not as careful as you. Fang Xuanling is resourceful, but he doesn't have the courage of you, Wei Zheng is too straight, and Yu Shinan is too soft...... If you tell the mystery in one word, they are not as good as you. ”

"yes......"

Li Xian sighed slightly, looked at the hot air in the cup, and said in a somewhat helpless and tired tone: "You have to let those who want to rebel turn back, you have to let those who have that mind jump out, and then go to cure this mess, I don't want to kill people...... So if you can kill it once, don't kill it a second time. ”

"Let them go."

The eldest grandson Wujian snorted and said softly: "If you don't let them make a fuss, how can you show the power of the lord?" ”
