"Your Majesty, Hao Xuan's Right Route Army has recovered Lanzhou. The above table played the Baoju 70th Army on behalf of the soldiers and horses, and Du dared to be the soldiers and horses of the Lanzhou Army. ”

In the Zichen Palace, the ruling Pei Yan was reporting to Li Yu on the latest progress of the war, and in the end, it was going well, and the ministers present were all relaxed. Hearing that Hao Jue protected Du Dare as the envoy of the Lanzhou army, everyone couldn't help laughing together.

Li Yu smiled:

"This Du Kang, I heard that he is an outlier in the army?"

"Who says it's not, this person was originally a captain of the Fengxiang Army, but he was later injured, so he retired in the second year of Yongzhen, took a field in Jingyuan, and entered the garrison soldiers in Jingyuan, and became the captain of the garrison. Last year, after making meritorious contributions in the Battle of Xingyuan, Hao Jue promoted him to be the soldier and horse envoy of the 70th Army, but he refused, so he had to retreat and let him act as the soldier and horse envoy. It is said that this person does not want to play as a striker in every battle, and hides backwards when he can. However, the strange thing is that this person has led troops before, and even if he loses the battle, the loss will not be too great. ”

Qi Guogong Li Yuan said on the side.

"He's not so much a general as an old peasant."

The voices of gossip rang out in the court. Quan De Yu Dao:

"Your Majesty, the position of Lanzhou is critical, and it is not allowed to defend it unless it is a fierce general, if this person is really like this, the minister thinks that the Lanzhou soldiers and horses cannot let this person take responsibility."

Lanzhou will be built as a major battalion of grain and grass for the Right Route Army, and as soon as this statement came out, some people immediately echoed it. However, Li Yu was very interested in Du Kang, and after asking Li Yuan a few more questions, he said:

"I think this Du Dare can afford this responsibility. Although this person did not want to go to the battlefield, there was not a single time when he did not fight to the end. Although this person does not want to play as a striker, but every time he loses a battle, the casualties are very small, and I feel that this person must be a nurse, loved by the soldiers, and proficient in formation, otherwise it would never be like this. ”

Pei Du Dao:

"Your Majesty has seen everything. This is indeed the case in the evaluation of the military department. The reason why Du Dang was reluctant to fight was also because most of the soldiers were homeless people and soldiers who had been eliminated in the army, and in recent years, they had benefited from the New Deal and their lives had stabilized, so the soldiers were in love with their homes. However, the more such soldiers tend to be more tenacious on the battlefield, and the minister heard that the reason why the Battle of Xingyuan was won was because of the tenacity of the garrison soldiers, which blocked the tidal attack of Tubo and won time for the army. ”

Li Yu was not bad, he was in a good mood, and said:

Pei Xianggong is reasonable, the more such soldiers cherish the present day, and the more tenacious they will be on the battlefield. Since Du Dare is a soldier who has won the hearts of the army and is a soldier, he simply removed the power word on his head, directly appointed him as a soldier and horse envoy of the Lanzhou army, and at the same time gave him some services such as pacifying, capturing, and camping fields for him to temporarily replace. ”

Li Chan is going to let Du Dare grasp the military and politics with one hand. Lanzhou was initially decided, and it was indeed the only way, and when the emperor made a decision, the ministers stopped arguing and passed the proposal. Li Yu added:

"Of course, the selection and dispatch of civil affairs officials should also be stepped up."

This is what Pei Yan is in charge of, and he bowed down at the moment and said that he had already selected a group of candidates from the Ministry of Officials and was being sent to various places one after another. Li Yu nodded and said:

"Pei Aiqing has worked hard. If we fail to quickly stabilize and restore order in production and life, then we will not be able to form a strong rear, and our 300,000 soldiers will be tantamount to fighting across the border on our own territory, which is really dangerous. By the way, Pei Xianggong, if there is anything better to be done in the recovery of various places, it can be used as a model to promote and summarize its experience for reference in various places. ”

Pei Yan said:

"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed a better one, that is, Di Dao."

Li Yu asked in surprise:

"Didaw? Isn't Di Dao still facing off against the two armies? ”

Pei Yan said:

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister only learned about it after seeing the documents in the past few days, and he has sent someone to check it, and he will reply in a few days. However, judging from the official documents presented, the approach is still desirable. ”

Li Yu asked carefully, only to learn that after obtaining Di Dao, * immediately released the Han slaves, restored the status of slaves and civilians, and quickly divided the Yongye fields, houses, and clothing for each family according to the size of the population, age, and the difference between men and women, etc., and each family was loaned by the government to grain seeds and farm tools, and it was stipulated that it would be repaid annually, and the good ones planted could be exempted, and those who had made military achievements could be exempted, and the strong man with the surname was elected as the chief temporarily, and the Di Dao was stabilized in a few days, so that the people's hearts were subdued, and everyone thought that the Tang Dynasty Shengtian was wise and martial, and was proud of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Willing to drive.

Pei Yan finally said:

"The minister checked, this Quan Di Dao Order, appointed by Li Lianggong, is the advance soldier Li He."

Whether it is Hao Wei or Li Yu or Li Guangyan or Liu Yong, they are all generals who open the government and build a government, and they can have the right to appoint officials of a considerable grade. Pei Yan went to check the appointment of a small county order, which shows that he recognizes this Li He's actions.

Li Yu thought for a long time before asking:

"This Li He, but he is a descendant of Zheng Wangliang?"

Pei Yan replied:

"Exactly."

Li Yu asked again:

"This Li He, but because of his father's name, he was jealous and slandered for not being admitted to the Jinshi?"

Han Yu said:

"That's it. At that time, thanks to His Majesty's wisdom, he was allowed to take the Jinshi examination and achieved fame. ”

Li Yu felt a little floating, and said:

"I didn't think he was really talented. Pei Aiqing——"

Pei Yan said:

"The minister is here."

Li Chanted:

"When the officer sent returns, if it is found to be true, reward him."

Pei Yan said:

"Obey."

The hearts of those who are about to wake up have another young talent born. However, Li Yu did not continue the topic, but asked:

"Where is Xingtai now?"

Pei Du Dao:

"Back to Your Majesty, Xingtai is currently stationed in Tianshui."

"How are Liu Yong and Li Wentong progressing so far? What about Lee Kwang Yan? ”
