Bianliang.

Jianchang Palace.

This is the original Tang Xuanwu Army Festival Degree Envoy, later by Zhu Wen to expand into the office of the King of Liang, the Chongzheng Yuan and the government hall of the Liang are arranged on both sides, the military and political affairs of the Liang are all discussed here.

At this time, the Jianchang Palace was black and oppressive, and the generals and ministers of the Jin army in dark robes and armor were bustling in the main hall, laughing and scolding, like a vegetable market.

Li Cunhou frowned and looked at the scene in front of him, but he was helpless.

Although he is the king of Jin, most of the people under this house are elders who watched him grow up, Feng Dao and He Ning on the left, as well as Guo Chongtao and the five sons of the Guo family behind him, Shi Jingjiao on the right, Liu Zhiyuan, Kang Yicheng, An Chongrong, Fu Yanqing, Zhang Jingda, and Zhou Guangfu who Guo Chongtao started, which one is his father, fortunately, these generals and ministers are still reluctant to salute, and then look at the generals behind them with teeth and claws, which makes you even more speechless.

"The first division of General Shi clashed with the Xuzhou army in Kaocheng, and it was only a small setback, which did not affect the record of our Great Jin, for our Great Jin, it is more important to recuperate and raise military resources. He Ning stroked the long beard under his chin, and said word by word: "The minister and Feng Xiang have discussed, at present, it is quite difficult to maintain the grain of Bianluo until the summer harvest, and we still have more than 100,000 troops here, which is difficult to support at all." ”

"His sons have not been rewarded so far, and they are full of resentment, and the king must not ignore them. Liu Zhiyuan also bowed his hand, concise and to the point.

"What Mr. Liu said is very true, many soldiers under a certain command are also discussing in private, asking when the reward for the king's attack on Luoyang and the battle of Zhongmu will be issued, this Bianliang has been down, but the reward for the battle of Luoyang and Zhongmu has not yet been issued, but the sons and daughters are not allowed to let go, I am afraid that it will lead to a mutiny. Kang Yicheng also said in a thick voice: "Many of the corporal soldiers under a certain command are from the wild people outside the Saiwai, they don't know what the etiquette is, they only know that after fighting and bleeding, they want to get the gold and silver treasures they want, and they should get the goods and women, but if they can't get it now, it's hard to say." ”

"Yes, Lao Kang is right, there are also many savages under a certain command, and there are many people who are attached to a certain person, and now they are all waiting to bring back the gold beads and silk back to the outside of the plug. Although An Chongrong is Li Cunhou's father-in-law, he also has a large group of clansmen, and he is also responsible for his own clan, so he will not scruple so much when he speaks.

"The battle is not over yet, how can we talk about returning to the division?" He Ning frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king has already made clear the purpose of our southern expedition before going to the Central Plains, the Central Plains is the foundation of our future Great Jin, and it is also the first cornerstone of our unification of the world.

He Ning's words were very polite, but the generals didn't care too much, the Great Jin Dynasty was different from other feudal lords, and the civil officials' right to speak was far less than that of the military generals, although the kings often stood on the side of the civil officials in the debate, but in practice, the opinions of the generals had to be respected.

Besides, many of the suggestions of the civilian officials are also in line with the interests of the generals, and without the planning of the civilian officials, it is difficult to gather enough military resources and food and grass for the army to fight.

"With my lord, we have no problem fighting, but the sons and daughters have worked hard for so long, the dead and the wounded, there should always be some reward for An'an's heart, or who will work for us in the future?" Zhang Jingda grinned and roared: "The king wants to take Bianluo as the foundation of our Great Jin Dynasty in the future, treat the people well, and win the hearts of the people, of course we all listen to the king, but we also have to consider the actual talents of the brothers below, without a reward, who has the heart to continue fighting?"

Li Cunhou took a deep breath, he knew that if he didn't express his position, I was afraid that these guys would really make a fuss in this court, "Everyone may also know that we went south this time and finally destroyed Daliang, which can be said to be our long-cherished wish of the Great Jin Dynasty for decades, reasoning, it is true that we should reward the big guys, these should not be less, but everyone is also clear that the importance of Bianluo to our Great Jin Kingdom, this land we have spent decades of hard work, and finally controlled it this time, how can we act arbitrarily?" The millions of people in this land will be our people, they will work for us, they will provide us with food, silk cloth, medicinal herbs and iron, and everything, so we can't kill chickens and take eggs, which is the foundation of our foothold in the Central Plains in the future. ”

"Some people may ask, what should I do with these brothers under my command? They came here with me from the outside of the desert, forgetting their lives and deaths, paying for their lives and blood, and conquering this place, shouldn't they be rewarded? If there is no return, what is the point of us occupying this place?"

I have to admit that Li Cunhou is quite good at inciting emotions, and it is easy to move the hearts of all the generals, and they are all asking in their hearts, yes, if we don't get something in return, what's the point of us occupying here?

"So I want to tell you that our expedition is not over, this is just a temporary place for us to stop and rest, and in the next step, we will go to obtain what belongs to us!" Li Cunhou's voice was deep and very penetrating, "Do you have this confidence?"

The generals in the palace whispered for a while, if there is no temptation, then how is it possible, King Jin has made it clear that the next step is to get it is his own, and King Jin will no longer interfere, this is the most important thing.

"Great King, of course we are confident, the question is, where will our blade point?" Kang Yicheng was the first to hold back and stood up, "No matter where you are, please be the vanguard!"

"Hmph, Kang Ma Pi, do you have to be the pioneer wheel?" Zhang Jingda unceremoniously replied to the other party, "You made a fortune when you were in Shaanzhou, and it should be our turn!"

Kang Yicheng was furious, and he almost started to move, "Zhang Gouzi, which green onion are you? If you don't accept it, let's go out and compare and see if it's your gang of wretched people, or my sons are majestic!"

"Hehe, accompany you to the end! I really think that after winning two battles, I feel that I am going to eat people? Wake up, and I don't look at who is fighting you? A group of defeated troops who have no military spirit and fighting spirit are just capable of training with the Xuzhou army!" Zhang Jingda was not afraid at all, and sneered again and again, "Bully the soft and fear the hard things, when will it be your turn to show your teeth and claws here in the Great Jin Army?"

was so angry by Zhang Jingda's words that he smoked, and with a snort, the waist knife came out of the sheath, Kang Yicheng's eyes were full of fierce light, and Zhang Jingda also had a sword in his hand, so he wanted to do it.

The two have long had a feud, and they don't know how many times they have to talk in a year, and this time is just a repetition of countless times, like Shi Jingjiao, Liu Zhiyuan, An Chongrong and Guo Chongtao and others don't even bother to look at it, just waiting for them to perform.

"Okay, the two chiefs, in front of the king, what kind of noise is it?" Feng Dao had to come forward to ease his cheeks, "Now is the time to discuss how to act next, you two are so nonsense, won't it delay the business? Then automatically exclude the two of you from the various ministries going south?"

Feng Dao is still quite prestigious in the minds of the generals, over the years, if there is no Feng Dao left and right support, it is difficult for the Great Jin Dynasty to support in the competition with the Great Liang, especially in this later period, the Jin State is thriving, and it can finally realize the southern expedition to the Great Liang and destroy the Liang in one fell swoop, which largely depends on Feng Dao's planning in government affairs, otherwise with the power of Hedong, it is difficult to confront the Great Liang who controls the entire Central Plains.

Seeing Feng Dao speak, Kang Yicheng and Zhang Jingda had to restrain a little and retreat hatefully.

Li Cunhou's face was pale, and his eyes were also full of anger, and he almost wanted to explode, but he barely controlled his emotions under Feng Dao's eyes.

After defeating Bianluo, Li Cunhou's prestige has risen to an unprecedented level, especially since he has the support of Guo Chongtao, Fu Yanqing and Zhou Guangfu, the Han generals, and An Chongrong is more or less his father-in-law, Shi Jingjiao and Liu Zhiyuan, the two marshals, have become much more respectful towards Li Cunhou, only vulgar martial artists such as Kang Yicheng and Zhang Jingda have not realized this, so Li Cunhou really wants those two guys to open the knife and establish his authority.

However, Li Cunhou also knows that he is now facing the need to go south to conquer, and he also needs fierce generals like Kang Yicheng and Zhang Jingda.

"I don't know how to choose the king's way to the south?" An Chongrong saw that Kang Yicheng and Zhang Jingda both retreated, so he asked.

"It has not yet been determined, but judging from the feedback from General Manager Shi, the Xuzhou army is very well prepared, Zhu Mao took the elite of the Taining army to Xuzhou, Shang Yunxi of Puzhou is also a general under the command of Shi Yu in the past, and he also surrendered to Xuzhou, as well as Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi's Ziqing Ping Lu army, which were swallowed up by Jiang Feng, are not easy to deal with. He Ning continued, with a thoughtful expression, "I don't know what tricks Jiang Feng has played, so that this group of arrogant soldiers can bend their knees under his command." ”

"Xuzhou is indeed not suitable. Shi Jingjiao also opened his mouth rarely, "It's not that I'm afraid of them, but the states north of the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion are all ruined, and they are not much better than Heshuo. ”

If you don't fight Xuzhou, then there are only Caizhou and Nanyang, and you can't go west into Guanzhong, and now it is impossible for the Great Jin Dynasty to risk the world's disapproval to offend the imperial court.

Between Nanyang and Caizhou, where to choose?

It is not difficult to take down Chenzhou and Western Song Prefecture occupied by Caizhou, but the problem is that this point does not seem to be the most important, and more needs to be considered whether Caizhou or Nanyang is chosen.
