At the beginning of Li Gui's ascension to the throne, he issued a decree to canonize King Zhao as the emperor's examination, one is to do his filial piety, and the other is to weaken the control of the empress dowager and regain control of the government into his own hands; It's a pity that his ability is not enough to achieve this project, there is the Queen Mother inside, Yang Jiefu outside, and his measures are invisible, and he has been at the mercy of the Queen Mother and Yang Jiefu and others like a marionette since he ascended the throne, and he does not have the scenery of holding the power of the world and exporting the constitution as he imagined.

After the defeat of Haoshuichuan last year, the civil power was dealt a major blow, and the strength of the Xungui family increased greatly, and his situation was better, listening to Wei Shiliang say this, Li Gui instantly thought of the scenery after the big victory, and couldn't help but be tempted for a while, but after all, the royal drive is not trivial, Li Gui is still a little hesitant, if he wins, everything is easy to say, in case he loses, his already unstable throne will be greatly threatened, "Can this battle really be a big victory?" ”

"The British Duke also said that only 100,000 people from Tang Kuo's department committed the border this time, and with the 300,000 elite forbidden troops from the Beijing camp, this battle will definitely be a big victory." Wei Shiliang pondered this matter all night last night, and when he woke up in the morning, he urgently collected a lot of information, coupled with the endorsement of the British duke, he was convinced of the victory of the war.

"The reason for the defeat of Haoshuichuan last time was because the leaders were civilian officials like Wei Zhu and Jiang Qi who didn't know about military affairs, and if this time it was the British Duke as the commander, and the experienced noble generals of the battlefield led the army, there would definitely not be what happened last time." Wei Shiliang saw that Li Gui seemed to be moved, and hurriedly continued to explain, "According to the minions, if Your Majesty is not at ease, you can first go to the Beijing camp to inspect and see if the armies can fight, and then make a decision." ”

"The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, it is indeed necessary to see what my Great Wei's Jingying Forbidden Army looks like before making a decision, Shiliang is reasonable." After a while, Li Gui nodded in response.

"When does Your Majesty plan to inspect the Praetorian Army? Who do you want to review? The minions informed the British to prepare early. Wei Shiliang asked as he lay on the ground, knowing that whether this review would satisfy Li Gui would determine whether the imperial expedition would be successful, so he couldn't be a little sloppy.

"The people who are going to be inspected this time already have a plan in mind, just inform the British Gongyi not to be in a hurry in advance, and wait until I am about to leave the palace." Li Gui remembered the knighthood ceremony not long ago, if the commander who had just taken office could train the soldiers under his command well, then the soldiers under the command of other long-term generals should be even more problematic, right?

Li Gui was the one who had been the emperor for a period of time, and he was afraid that the British Guild would put other elite troops in Li You's army to perfunctory him, so he didn't plan to reveal the time and goal of his review.

"The minions obey." Wei Shiliang understood Li Gui's thoughts and kowtowed, but Fang sent his cronies to tell the British Duke about the matter when he left the emperor's side, and the British Duke immediately summoned his staff to discuss the matter.

"Grandpa, although the forbidden army in Beijing has improved a lot compared to last year, the shortage is still serious, and if it is seen by His Majesty, there will be many twists and turns." Xu Yuanchang, the chief staff of the British Duke, couldn't help frowning, "If we had known earlier that Your Majesty was going to a place where we were going, we could have temporarily transferred the elite soldiers from other battalions to the battalion that Your Majesty was going to review in advance, and practiced together for a few days in advance, but now we don't know anything about it, it's really a bit difficult to do?" ”

"Now the shortfall in each battalion ranges from two to three percent, and it is impossible to make up for it in a hurry, so I can only do it according to Mr. Xu's method, but I have to figure out His Majesty's purpose." Two to three percent of the empty salary is much stronger than when the civilian government was in power, these generals know what is the capital of their lives, but it is impossible to completely eliminate it, and everyone here knows this.

"After arranging, each battalion will practice well these days, and then draw out a thousand men to be ready to fill in the other battalions at any time; In addition, as soon as there is news from Gonggong Wei in the palace, it will come out, so you don't need to panic. "Qiu Yuande has already made preparations with both hands, in the past few days, the forbidden army of each battalion has practiced the same project first, and then prepared to mobilize to replenish the troops, once the news of the feeding volume comes out, the mobile troops will quickly replenish the camp that Li Gui will inspect.

Coping with the inspection of the boss is also a compulsory course for these noble generals since childhood, Qiu Yuande has not used these routines when he was in the army, and now he is extremely proficient in using them.

The order was quickly issued, and the soldiers and horses in the camps in Beijing also received the order, canceled their vacations, and returned to the barracks to start a hot drill; The British Duke also squeezed out a sum of money to buy **** wine, meat and other things for the army, and it was necessary to make Li Gui's review satisfactory.

In the next few days, Li Gui continued to convene the generals in the army to inquire about Tang Kuo's offense, and these generals who had already been greeted one after another said that if the elite of the 300,000 forbidden troops in the Beijing camp were fighting, the battle would undoubtedly be won, and they also staged a good show in front of Li Gui to compete for the position of leading commander, which made Li Gui's confidence in this battle more and more full.

"Preparing to leave the palace, I want to review the Zhenwei battalion where Jiazhou Bo Li You is the commander." Li Gui put down the song and said that he planned to make a surprise attack so that he could see the true face of the Jingying Forbidden Army.

"The slave obeys, and the slave will arrange it." Wei Shiliang hurriedly came out of the palace and arranged for Li Gui to leave the palace; It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace, the preparation of the imperial halogen book, the large jade shelf, the imperial guards, etc., the cleaning of idle people along the way, the safety of the route and so on A lot of things need to be done.

Therefore, even if Li Gui wanted to make a surprise attack, by the time he got on the royal car and left the palace, an hour had passed since he issued his decree, and by this time the British Duke and others had already learned the news.

"Quick, notify Li You immediately, and arrange for him to temporarily replenish the troops." The British public gave the order, and the messenger who delivered the news immediately rushed wildly.

"Somehow, in the past few days, why has the above suddenly asked for strict training? Isn't it that we're going to go to Beijing to fight? Just as Li You was discussing with Zhao Huchen, Zhou Yuchun and others, a team of soldiers and horses came to his camp.

When I came out of the camp, the person who came was not an outsider, it was Li You's friend Qian Hua, I saw Qian Hua turn over and dismount and hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, hurry up and add this thousand people to your army, prepare for the drill, Your Majesty will come to you in an hour to review!"
