For Li Xu, this is not a difficult choice. Not just out of habit, but because he had no way out.

Once the Turkic army moves south, the preferred breakthrough point in the eastern section of the Great Wall will never be Youzhou, which has a tiger and an iron horse. The dilapidated city wall of Zhuojun was like a piece of straw paper soaked in water to them, which could be destroyed without poking at all, and blowing. After breaking through the two Great Walls inside and outside, the prosperous six counties of Boling are far more attractive than Hedong and Youzhou.

"Our wives and children are all here, why can't we run away by ourselves like Li Mi did back then!" Zhou Daniu has always been intimate with the main general, grinned, and said with a smile.

"We don't have a good life like Li Mi, and there are people waiting for us wherever we go!" Zhao Ziming's face was full of helplessness, "But my subordinates suggested that before the news was further confirmed, it should be suppressed first." Otherwise, God knows what some people will think! ”

"They will blame me for not knowing what is going on, revealing my wealth and stealing. After all, two months ago, we decided that the Turks were a mess! Li Xu understood Zhao Ziming's thoughts, and he knew better the style of some people in the six counties. One of the reasons why everyone agreed to help him develop Zhuo County that day was because the current policies implemented by him, the Grand Governor, were far softer than those of the other surrounding princes. The second is because it is in the common good of all.

Only those who benefit can be of the same mind. If there is no grand interest as a guarantee, no matter how strong the relationship is, there will be a day when it will collapse.

However, those who benefit from the same interests may not be able to share the risk. Benefits can bring people together, and when the risks outweigh the expected benefits, they can also disperse the profit-seekers.

Before the news of the Turkic movement south, the development of Zhuo County as a support point for Boling would have been called foresight. When the danger is detected more than anticipated, some people will inevitably see the wind and rudder.

For them, family always comes first. For the sake of the family, reputation, affection, and conscience can all be sacrificed. Even their own lives will not hesitate to throw away if necessary. As for the disasters that are happening around them, they will only be heard when they need to show their mercy. When they don't need to, they close their eyes and plug their ears as much as possible.

Li Xu is disgusted with this short-sighted behavior, but he has learned not to complain, the reality is like this, instead of complaining in vain about the injustice of heaven, it is better to make more preparations for the upcoming vicious war. "According to what you said, this matter is only known to generals above the fourth rank. On the local officials' side, don't notify the Turks before they officially call the door, so as not to make everyone panic! ”

Seeing Zhao Ziming holding a pen to record, he groaned for a while, and then added, "Send an order to Cui Qian, the Taishou of Zhuo County, and ask him to distribute the weapons that have been built to the various fortresses." No matter how cold it will be this winter, all men of school age in the cantonment will have to undergo drills! ”

"Grinding a gun doesn't necessarily work. Besides, with the cleverness of retreat, it's easy to guess what you're guarding against! Zhao Ziming put down his pen and suggested in a low voice.

Cui Qian is a civil and military all-rounder, and he is very suitable for the position of Zhuojun Taishou. But the Bolingcui family is not a trustworthy object.

Li Xu frowned slightly, and then smiled, "Claiming to the outside world is to guard against Luo Yi." As for retreating, I believe he will do everything possible to take the overall situation into account! In accordance with the newly promulgated military decree, the ban on the sale of weapons was cancelled in order to familiarize the people with military affairs. Whether it is a lance or a bow and crossbow, as long as the people want to buy it, the merchant can sell it without the consent of the government! ”

Xu Zi's words shocked Zhao Ziming to stop writing again. "That would cause civil unrest!" His eyes widened in disbelief that his manager would make such an outrageous decision. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, lances and crossbows have always been forbidden among the people. These two weapons are far more powerful than the horizontal sword and the horned bow, and once they fall into the hands of those with bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Those bans have always only been valid for ordinary people. If you don't believe that Zhao Sima can go to the high-walled compound to count, who doesn't have dozens of lances and crossbows, Lao Zhou's surname is written upside down! Zhou Daniu patted his colleague's shoulder vigorously and laughed at the other party's rubber pillar.

"Hmmm! General, think again! Zhao Ziming knew that what Zhou Daniu said was true, but he still felt that Li Xu's order was too risky. It is a good idea to restore martial arts among the people, but excessive martial arts can also make the people disobedient to management. Especially in these turbulent times, there are countless people who dream of seizing the throne by force. In the unlikely event that someone takes advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, a group of bandits armed with standard weapons will be much more difficult to deal with than a homeless person with a hoe.

"Think twice. It's you Lao Zhao who should think twice! Zhou Daniu continued to work hard and slapped Zhao Ziming straight to the ground, "I am not wronged, who wants to live a good life, but I rebel with my head." It is better for the people to have a knife by their side than for the Turks to come to the door, and they only know how to kneel and beg for mercy! ”

That's the truth, Da Niu is very right. I do not treat them badly, and I am certainly not afraid that they will rise up and rebel. Li Xu put away his smile, and his eyes revealed a little coldness.

There was no guarantee that he would be able to withstand the attack of the Turkic wolf riders. But you can do your best to make the people under your rule learn to protect themselves. The people of the Central Plains were not born cowardly, but for a long time, the government deprived them of the right to protect themselves. Xuzi firmly believes that if every citizen of the Central Plains raises the knife in his hand, it will be the Turks who cry and beg for mercy.

Zhao Ziming saw that the lord insisted on going his own way, so he had to record this decree in the record. He was well aware of the troubles that would arise after the decree was issued, and perhaps the next morning, countless local officials with different families standing behind him would block the door of the room where he was handling official business, accusing him of cleverly confusing the lord and disregarding the safety of the big guy in order to make a little money. But these people can't be clamoring for long, and the moment the horn drums outside the plug are heard, all the proud faces will turn pale as snow.

No eggs can be found under the nest. If the whole sky falls, no one will want to escape the catastrophe.

"The last general suggested that the training of recruits should be strengthened!" Hearing that he was praised, Zhou Daniu was very encouraged and continued to propose.

"All veterans must return to the team within 10 days after their recuperation. All recruits are added to the army and trained alongside veterans! Li Xu nodded in agreement.

"In that case, the barracks may have to expand again! Our original structure is not suitable for such a large-scale army! Zhao Ziming thought about it and pointed out the shortcomings of decision-making.

The Boling army originally had only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but after the expansion, the team almost doubled. Not only was the old camp not enough for the soldiers to rest, but the old formation method was also extremely uncoordinated because of the increase in the number of soldiers.

In this regard, Li Xu has long considered it in his heart. The intelligence collected from all over the country made him clearly understand the way of leading the troops of the surrounding princes, and he could just come up with a reorganization plan that was more suitable for the current situation of the Boling Army.

"Divide all the infantry of the Boling army into three routes: left, center, and right, with the left hand over to Lü Qin and the right hand over to Zhang Jiang. Ziming, you take charge of the middle lane for me and train the middle lane. Under each road, there are three more leaders, each in charge of a battalion of soldiers. The leader of the army usually eats and lives in the barracks, and gets acquainted with the brothers under his command as soon as possible! Military positions at all levels below the leadership level shall be selected by the leader from the original military general ranks. The extra vacancies will also be filled by the leaders themselves! ”

With that, he picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips of water. Waiting for the addition of two henchmen.

"The subordinates proposed that Guo Fang, Zhang Shijun, and Liu Zicai serve as the first on the left, the first in the middle and the first on the right!" Zhao Ziming thought for a while and proposed in a low voice. Guo Fang is a bandit who was recovered by Li Xu, Zhang Shijun is an old brother of Qi County, and Liu Zicai was born in the Fenyang Army. Such a personnel arrangement just reflects a certain balance in the employment of the Boling Grand Governor's Office.

Li Xu nodded and accepted. At the same time, a principle is proposed, "Among the three leaders of each road, try to take ability as the selection criterion!" Let's draw up a batch of individual candidates first, and then discuss with Zhang Jiang and Lu Qin tomorrow morning before making a decision! ”

"No!" Zhao Ziming and Zhou Daniu agreed in unison. Then, according to Li Xu's requirements, he pointed out some deficiencies in the new formation method, and at the same time gave suggestions for improvement. When the three of them had discussed and sorted out the details of the whole army, the window was faintly bright. I don't know when the wind has stopped, and large snowflakes drift down, decorating the ground outside the house white.

"Anything else you'd like to add?" Li Xu stretched and asked.

"I suggest that we put the matter of forming an alliance with Dou Jiande on the agenda!" Although he knew that Li Xu might be unhappy, Zhao Ziming was still unwilling to give up his duties as a counselor. "Although the Dou family army is weak, at the critical moment, one more person is one more strength! If the princess of Xiangguo can inspect the border passes, even if the brothers fight for their lives, they will not dare to let the women of the Great Sui be robbed by the Turks! ”

Contrary to his expectations, this time, Li Xu did not hold his own opinion again. "Let Fang Yannian go to the envoy Hejian on my behalf. Tell Chief Dou that all the items produced by our six counties of Boling, including armor and weapons, Dou Jiande can exchange them for equal value. If the two families form an alliance, once the opportunity is ripe, I will personally lead troops to join forces with him to defeat the Wagang Army! ”

"You'd better make a move this winter, otherwise I'm afraid it's too late!" Zhao Ziming thought about it and reminded again.

"Before the Turks retreat, Boling will not have a single soldier to go south!" Li Xu shook his head with a smile. "I'm not going south to marry the princess. Even if she could get to the plug, it wouldn't help. War has been a man's business since ancient times, and it's better to let women go a little farther away! This article is reprinted from Telecom Address, Non-Telecom Address, and this is not a difficult choice for Li Xu. Not just out of habit, but because he had no way out.

Once the Turkic army moves south, the preferred breakthrough point in the eastern section of the Great Wall will never be Youzhou, which has a tiger and an iron horse. The dilapidated city wall of Zhuojun was like a piece of straw paper soaked in water to them, which could be destroyed without poking at all, and blowing.
