Only when the world is safe can the people's hearts be stable, and only when the people's hearts are stable can they win the hearts of the people.

Yi Feng was even wondering if he should be in the middle of the army first. However, he quickly shook his head again, 120,000 horses are enough, He Ruobi, Yang Xiong, Qu Tutong, and Na are all famous generals who have been in battle for a long time, which is different from the last battle of Daibei. The Battle of Daibei was a Turkic invasion, and the enemy was careless. And if Yang Xiu insists on defending it, then it is normal to besiege the city and fight for a year or two at every turn. And 100,000 soldiers and horses can't be attacked, and if you send 200,000 300,000, it's basically no different from adding fuel, and there will not be much quantitative change, but it will put huge pressure on your own logistics. In the final analysis, Yang Xiu was unexpectedly strong against Guan Zhong, and there was no unexpected situation where the group rose against him. In this way, Yang Xiu's strength is still very strong, and it is difficult to say that as soon as the soldiers arrived, the opposite side abandoned the pass and fled, and the thing happened to fall from the wind. And it is not easy to fight hard by relying on tackling key problems.

Or have to go to Yangzhou, maybe there are not many soldiers, choose an elite army to go south and copy Huainan, and Yang Xiu will first destroy Yang Guang, and then fight with Yang Xiu.

This series of problems made Yi Feng upset, and he felt that the weather was getting hotter and hotter. He simply didn't want to think too much, step by step, he believed that now his shape should be the best among the three, even if he was so upset, then Yang Xiu and Yang Guang would only be more upset.

"Your Highness, good news!"

Yi Feng raised his head in surprise by a shout, only to see Li Mi striding over, with a strange surprise on his face. He was followed by Liu Wenjing, Pei Lian, Su Xiaoci, Wang Bao and other people who came over happily.

"Your Highness, the fold of Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, has arrived, and it is an excerpt of the oath of allegiance to the imperial court." Feng Deyi said with a smile. He used to be Yang Su's staff and married Yang Su's niece. It has a very close relationship with Yang Su. Now Yang Su has returned to the dynasty, so it comes. Naturally, it's a good thing for him. As soon as Yang Su entered the court, he must have a very high status in the court, and he also has an important backer.

"Really?" Yi Feng was unexpectedly surprised, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he paused for a while before getting up and saying, "Everyone go to the palace, and come over after I change my clothes." ”

After a while, Yi Feng changed his clothes and returned to the palace. At this time, my mind calmed down a bit. Everyone sat in the hall and talked excitedly, and even Gao Gong and Han Seng Shouyu Wenbi and other important ministers also heard the news.

"Your Highness, is it true that Yang Su is attached?" Gao Gong asked.

"I just received the news, I don't know the specific situation yet, the Taishi just listened to the situation carefully with me." Yi Feng smiled and invited Gao Gong to sit down.

Gao Gong felt a little depressed, Yang Su was originally recommended by him to enter the court, but later Yang Su went through the route of the queen, and was very favored by the emperor and his wife, and climbed higher and higher. Finally managed to shoot right, and even began to challenge him. At the beginning, one of the two in the court supported the crown prince and the other supported the king of Jin. It is absolutely distinct and hostile to each other, even to the point that water and fire are incompatible. Unexpectedly. Now the two of them are working together again. He was strange, Yang Su didn't follow Yang Guang very firmly. Why is it that all of a sudden it has switched to it now?

"It's Shi Banzai." Pei Zeng smiled and reported to Yi Feng, "According to the news sent back from Longyou by the Military Intelligence Department. Shi Wansui swore allegiance to Yang Xiu, and Yang Xiu sealed Shi Wansui as the right servant of Wu Guogong, Taibao, and Shangshu. Then Shi Wansui moved, mobilized about 50,000 horses from all departments under his command, and marched to Lingzhou Yang Su. ”

"What does Yang Xiu mean?"

"Not sure yet."

Yi Feng smiled, "Could it be that this is what Shi Wansui himself meant, he is positive." But I remember that Yang Xiu also promised Yang Su a bunch of rewards, what kind of Shangshu Ling Taishi or something? ”

It is estimated that Yang Xiu saw that Yang Su was reluctant to reply, so he planned to strike first. And Yang Su saw that Yang Guangxing was not good, so he finally thought of joining the imperial court. ”

"Anyway, it's a good thing. Does Yang Su have any requirements? Yi Feng asked.

"Nope." Liu Wenjing shook her head.

Yi Feng was a little strange, "He didn't ask us to send troops to support or anything?" ”

"Nope. Yang Suzuo compromised and said that he wanted to destroy the traitor Shi Wanzai for the imperial court and recover the Longyou Hexi for the imperial court. Liu Wenjing replied truthfully.

"Yue Guogong is very confident, with 30,000 against Shi Wanzai and 50,000, and he is alone, Yang Xiu in Guanzhong may send troops to reinforce Shi Wanzai at any time. Well, his loyalty is commendable, and his courage is inspired. Grass edict, in order to reward loyalty, commend bravery, especially into the Feng Yang Su as the Duke of Chu, five thousand households, plus Taifu, and promoted the left servant of Shangshu to shoot, awarded the marshal of the Western Rebellion, and his subordinate generals and leading officers were all awarded a turn, the official was promoted to a rank, and the soldiers were all credited with a piece of merit and given ten thousand dollars. Yi Feng was quite happy about Yang Su's allegiance.

"Can Yang Su defeat Shi Wansui? Did he issue an edict to let Yang Su lead his troops to retreat to Fengzhou, or simply retreat directly from Fengzhou to Hedong? Liu Wenjing mentions, after all, Yang Su is just a lone army, Shi Wansui is also a famous general, with more troops than Yang Su, and Yang Xiu to rely on. Although Yang Su's army is not many, it is very important. Located in Longyou Lingfeng, occupying the Hetao, although it is already outside Xiao Pass in the northwest of Guanzhong, but there is this army of soldiers and horses belonging to the imperial court, which is a threat to Yang Xiu, which can contain Yang Xiu for the imperial court, and even act as a strange soldier at a critical time. And if Yang Su and Shi Wansui confront, 30,000 to 50,000, even if they can win, they will definitely have a lot of casualties, and when they are alone, they may be destroyed by Yang Xiu. Therefore, preserving Yang Su's troops and horses is definitely better than him fighting hard with Shi Wansui.

"The edict to Yang Su gave him this advice, but the final decision is up to him." After thinking about it, Yi Feng didn't intend to directly force the order. For a person like Yang Su, it is estimated that even if he gives an order, the other party will not necessarily ignore him, so let Yang Su decide for himself.

Yang Su's attachment made Yi Feng feel good and swept away his previous boredom.

On the same day, Yi Feng later held a meeting of important ministers in Kim Yong Castle.

At the meeting, Yi Feng finally announced the abolition of the general management system and the beginning of the implementation of the provincial system. For the actual control of the imperial court, it was officially divided into Hedong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Jingdong Province, Saishang Province, and Saibei Province in the shape of mountains and rivers, with Luoyang as Tokyo and Taiyuan as Beijing. Among them, Saishang Province is the area between Huaihuang in the north of Yanshan and the south of Xijing. And Saibei Province is the original Youzhou Prefecture under the Sanfan Twenty-one Prefecture. Originally, it was also planned to establish Liaoxi Province, but now Liaoxi is occupied by Wei Chong. Yi Feng didn't intend to point to the map division.

Jingdong Province is to divide the area east of Bianshui in Henan Province to form Henan Province and Jingdong Province.

Each province shall have a Department of Undertaking and Announcing Political Envoys. According to the procuratorial department, they all command the three divisions of the envoy department, and the political envoy department has one political envoy on the left and one on the right, and is the highest administrator of the province. One person is appointed to the procurator for the sentence and is responsible for judicial matters. The military defense of the province is under the responsibility of the commanders of the left and right sides, and the powers and responsibilities of the three divisions are clearly distinguished. However, in specific aspects, the left and right commanders are only a commanding yamen, and cannot directly command the government soldiers, forbidden armies, border armies, reserve township soldiers and militia groups in various provinces, and their functions and powers are strictly supervised and restricted. Without an order from the Privy Council, the Commander has no right to transfer more than ten soldiers. In fact, just like the original imperial court for the hussar generals, chariot cavalry generals and above of the guards, they can only command the army when they are transferred, and they are only responsible for the administration of the soldiers and horses of a province in peacetime, just like the current military department, which is mainly responsible for administration and logistics. In this way, the original power of the commanders to support and command the army was abolished, so that the troops and officers of the imperial court were the same as the original government soldiers and the generals of the guards. Cut off that kind of extremely strong military power.

"Li Changya is the political envoy of Hebei Zuobu, and Li Yuan is the political envoy of Hebei Youbu. Yuan Ya is the political envoy of Hedong Zuobu, and Li Min is the political envoy of Hedong Zuobu. Yuan Bao is the political envoy of the left cloth of Henan, and Chai Shen is the political envoy of the right cloth of Henan. Gao Di is the political envoy of Jingdong Zuobu, and Yang Yichen is the political envoy of Jingdong Youbu. Xu Deyan is the political envoy of the left cloth of Saishang Province, and Li Baiyao is the political envoy of the right cloth."

A succession of provincial officials were announced, and those present stepped forward to listen to the decree and give thanks. Although it is a provincial official, it is equivalent to the original general manager level. Each province administers more than ten prefectures, but in fact, the three divisions are separated, but a province has six chiefs of the same level. Divided into three yamen. And the most important military powers are actually directed to the division is not, so the province is compared to the original Grand Governor's Office. Authority is far inferior. Those who manage the people can only manage the people, and those who manage the law can only manage the law. Those who manage the army can only manage the administrative logistics of the army. As a result, the only one who can be regarded as having more real power is the Chief Minister, but he can only manage civil affairs, and even the judicial power has been cut. Basically, even if it is a larger state assassin, there are two political envoys. Therefore, the most important thing in the appointment of the first chief of the three divisions of the provinces is the appointment of the political envoy, and even if it is the appointment of the political envoy, the court and others such as Gao Gong do not care so much. The political envoy is not as good as the original chief manager, and even the middle general manager, and can barely be regarded as a small general manager, so there is nothing to fight for. When I did, there was nothing to be happy about.

However, Yi Feng still put a lot of effort into this first batch of political envoys, especially the left political envoys who were slightly higher than the right political envoys, and they all used their own people, fathers-in-law, uncles, fathers-in-law, teachers and other absolutely credible people, and the right political envoys arranged for former governors of Youzhou Mansion such as Li Yuan and Yang Yichen.

After the appointment of the political envoys of the six provinces, they also appointed the provincial envoys for punishment and punishment, and the envoys for the commanders, all of which were not regarded as real and important positions.

Next, a number of state assassins and state governors were appointed and dismissed. There are many original thorn histories that have been replaced and replaced by other people. In fact, the position of the governor is the same as that of the provincial commander, which is called in charge of the military affairs of a state, but in fact it is only in charge of the logistics and administrative affairs of the soldiers and horses of a province, which is to replace the original central director.

In terms of grades, the newly set up provincial-level officials, the left and right political envoys are both from the third rank, the left and right according to the inspection envoy are from the third rank, and the left and right command envoys are from the fourth grade. The grade of the state thorn history has declined, the highest is on the fourth grade, the lowest is lower from the fourth grade, and the captain is the fifth grade.

In the end, the Taiyuan Imperial Court set up six new provinces, and under the six provinces, there were a total of 100 states and 437 counties, accounting for one-third of the Great Sui Prefecture, but it was the most elite Kanto region, with nearly half of the population, and the Taiyuan Imperial Court could be described as strong.

After the series of appointments were announced, Yi Feng swept over Gao Gong, who was like an old monk, closed his eyes slightly, and did not come out to raise objections, which made him very satisfied. Presumably Gao Gong also understands that the abolition of the general control is a good thing for the imperial court, and on the other hand, if the general control is continued, then the governors of the prefectures in the eastern part of the country are basically all Yang Lin's people.

"Now Yang Xiu sent troops to fight with Yang Guang in Jiangling, and at this time, the two are fighting against each other, and my generation cannot sit idly by. Marshal He Ruo was storming Pujin Pass, and General Li Jing was waving his troops north to meet Goguryeo. Therefore, I decided to immediately set up a southern expedition to level the thief camp, go straight to Huainan, break Yang Guang's lair, and recover the land of Jiangdong, so as to solve Yang Guang as soon as possible. ”

The hall was silent for a while, and Gao Gong couldn't help but open his eyes.

He didn't expect that Yi Feng would move so frequently, he had just launched the provincial system and canceled the governor's office, and sent Li Jing to the north.

In this way, will the three-way use of troops be too nervous?

"I don't know who His Majesty plans to send to lead the troops to the south?" Gao Gong asked.

Yi Feng looked at Gao Gong and replied, "I plan to personally lead the troops south to Huainan, and after recovering Yangzhou, I will send troops to Jingzhou." ”

"His Royal Highness personally led the troops south, but the court can't do without His Highness?" Gao Gong was a little surprised, although Yi Feng is the prince, but he is the prince regent of the prison country, the emperor has been sick, so he has been recuperating and unable to manage the government, so the prince is the regent of the country, but if the prince leads the army to go out, who will take over the Chinese government, do you want to set up a prison country, or a regent? But the prince's eldest son is only half a year old, right?

"The words of the master are indeed reasonable." Yi Feng looked pensive, and then said, "Your Majesty has been unwell and difficult to manage, and I really can't leave the imperial court." Well, but the southern expedition is indeed important, and it can't wait. Then let the privy envoy Wang Bao serve as the marshal of the southern expedition, and the Taishi will serve as the marching commander, how about helping the Wang privy envoy command and coordinate the southern expedition? ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, he looked at Yang Lin, and understood that Yang Lin's so-called going south to conquer in person was just a rhetoric, the purpose was to wait for his words, and then he was going to let himself go on the expedition. The prince is going to let himself leave the court, Gao Gong thought about it, and the words of refusal have come to his lips several times, but in the end he still didn't say it.

"The old minister is willing to go and serve the country."

Yi Feng immediately showed a smile on his face, "Then there is Taishi Lao, tomorrow I will personally see off Taishi and wish him victory." ”
