"Li You?" Yang Jiefu frowned, waved his hand and said, "Let's listen to it, and see what kind of merits this Jiazhou Bo has made?" "Recently, the new emperor ascended the throne, the political situation is undecided, Yang Jiefu spent a lot of effort to sort out the pattern in the court, and for a while he threw aside this young man who had caused him a lot of trouble, and now Yuan Rukui's words made him turn Li You out of his mind, and now it seems that it is time to clean up these noble parties?

"Yes. "Yuan Rukui opened the recital and read it, and what was said in the recital was nothing more than that Li You had been very effective in the Yunzhou training troupe, leading five hundred regiments to practice the chaos of the Yuan Sect, defeating thousands www.biquge.info of thieves in the first battle and beheading hundreds; Of course, the credit of the civil officials of Yunzhou is indispensable, and the rest is to ask for rewards and the like.

"Five hundred regiments have defeated thousands of thieves?" Hu Songnian, the governor of the political council, couldn't help but interject, Zhang Guo led tens of thousands of troops to Hedong Sifu to level the thieves, although he won many battles, but he did not have such an exaggerated record, which couldn't help but arouse his vigilance, "Xiangguo, this person is really our enemy, don't indulge." ”

"Yunzhou is located in a remote area, even if he is allowed to recruit a group to practice, what can he do? At present, the reorganization of the forbidden army is imminent, as long as these hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and the Taiwei Mansion are in our hands, these nobles will not be able to turn over the storm! Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the ministry, did not think so, the Great Wei has always paid attention to guarding the inside and outside, and the deployment of troops in Beijing exceeded the sum of the border army and the state army, in the face of such a large military advantage, Li You's men and horses are not worth mentioning at all, "Now what we have to guard against is not the regimental training in Yunzhou, but he took the opportunity to return to Beijing and join forces with the honorable nobles in Beijing to fight with us for the Taiwei Mansion and the Beijing Forbidden Army." ”

"It's not easy to train in a group." Wang Jihe, the squire of the military department, also trained a regiment in his hometown, with the strength of their Taiyuan Wang clan, they only recruited more than 3,000 people, and after a few months of training, they could only defend the city and fight, or bully and bully the homeless, and even the bandits in the mountains encountered setbacks, and in his mind, Li You's current strength could not pose a threat at all, "From the point of view of the following officials, this Li You wants to pacify the thieves in Yunzhou, and he can't do it without a year or two of hard work; And by that time, the Jingying Forbidden Army and the Taiwei Mansion had already been controlled by us, and even if he returned to Beijing for meritorious service, he would not be able to set off too much turmoil. ”

"Master Hu is too worried, it's just some homeless people, then Zhou Bofu under Li You is also a fierce general, maybe he led the forbidden army to kill a group of homeless people and dispersed, and the group practice is just following behind to harvest the head." Another civilian official with a little military experience came out and said, "Even so, Li You's men have two hundred injuries, and the record is really average, and Zhang Guo, who quelled the chaos in the four prefectures of Hedong, killed thousands of thieves and only injured three or five hundred people, which is better than Li You." ”

"Just let him continue to stay in Yunzhou! The exploits of my Great Wei are based on the Mobei group of captives, the East China Sea Island is second, and the southwest Tusi is again, what kind of great achievement can it be regarded as exterminating the thieves? "The Great Wei Military Department has issued different levels of beheading rewards for these opponents, a Mobei cavalry's head reward pattern silver is twenty taels, the head of the East China Sea Island Yi is worth ten taels, and there are only three taels left here in the southwest Tusi, as for the thieves in the territory, unless they are famous thief chieftains, otherwise there is no reward for a penny; So Yang Jiefu made a decision to deal with this letter, "The prefect of Yunzhou is strategizing, and he should be rewarded for the first merit of this battle, and he will be rewarded for his meritorious work after the thieves are pacified. ”

Most of the strategic work of the previous war was controlled by the Taiwei Mansion, and the nobles of the Taiwei Mansion who reaped this credit were also the nobles of the Taiwei Mansion, and the credit for leading the army and charging into battle was divided by the generals who led the army, and the civilian officials took a share of the supply of grain and grass at most, which made the civilian officials unable to get too much benefit from the military merits.

And Yang Jiefu directly gave the credit for strategizing to the prefect of Yunzhou this time, which gave the civil officials another way to make contributions, and there is also an advantage of strategizing is that it is easy to shirk responsibility, if they are defeated, it must not be a slight problem with their army, it must be the cowardice of the generals who lead the army, or they do not fight in full accordance with the strategy they have formulated, and the pot of defeat is easily lost to the generals. And if the war is won, the civil officials who plan the strategy should be the first merit, and the civilian officials who supply grain and grass are secondary, and as for the generals and soldiers who are fighting, it is good to give them some leftover soup.

This model of only benefits and no harm, which civil officials do not like? If you lose the general, you will have the blame, and the great merit of victory is your own, and you can take this opportunity to completely subdue the generals, so that they can send filial piety, whether it is meritorious service or making a fortune, this is a great opportunity, and some people in the audience have even begun to think that they can go there recently to mix a piece of military merit to be promoted and make a fortune.

"Xiangguo said this very much." Yuan Rukui immediately understood the meaning of Yang Jiefu's words, if he continued to operate according to the model he proposed, in the future, these civilian officials would completely overwhelm the generals, and in the future, those military generals who were arrogant and enough to compete with these civil officials in the past could only rely on the snort of others.

"Xiangguo's move is to seek the country from the old man, and we are far from it." Although Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the ministry, has been complaining about Yang Jiefu's monopoly on the court for many years in private, he has to admire it at this time, and sure enough, Yang Jiefu can come to this point It is indeed his place, just when they are still thinking about how to guard against Li You, Yang Jiefu has fundamentally knocked the status of the generals into the dust; If it is carried out according to what he just said, within a few years, the situation of the Chinese noble and lowly in the Great Wei Kingdom will become a foregone conclusion, and this is the hand that the prime minister of a country should have! I really don't know how high it is than the means they are entangled in the minutiae.

"If you want to do that, you have to take the Taiwei Mansion in your hands first." Yang Jiefu touched his beard and said, "Now that the right to verify military exploits is in the hands of the Taiwei Mansion, only in this way can this rule be enforced." ”

"Although Xiangguo can rest assured, now that the seniority and nobles in Beijing have long been swept away, no one can take on this important responsibility, and the post of Tai Lieutenant will definitely fall into our hands." If it is according to the previous practice, after Qiu Yuande stepped down as a lieutenant, he would normally be succeeded by a top noble like Cao Yutian, the Duke of Lu, and now these people have either fallen into the hands of Tang Kuobu, or they have died unexplained, and there is no one who can suppress the army anymore, plus the support of the empress dowager in the court, there is no suspense about the ownership of this position.
