"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the first line of Linzhou can be properly abandoned, Jinnan has just been annexed, and it is still unstable, and it is the key for us to retreat to Weizhou and hold on." Tan Ji, as the newly appointed cardinal squire, said eloquently.

Chen Zhiqing was lying on the soft collapse, and there were two braziers next to him, but he was still wrapped in thick skin, his lips were blue, and he could see that he was very cold, and he listened to Tan Ji's words quietly, as the prime minister, since Zhou Ce's death, he felt very powerless, and the territory of Daxuan was constantly expanding, and he had been thinking about whether to move the capital.

"Qingshuai, what do you think?" Meng Yan asked Chen Zhiqing directly.

Chen Zhiqing got up with difficulty, and replied half-lying: "Your Majesty, Tang Yin." ”

Meng Yan frowned and looked at Tang Yin's location in the geographical map, and said, "Tan Ji, you can also take a look." ”

Tan Ji was a little embarrassed, just now Chen Zhiqing mentioned Tangyin, he understood that Chen Zhiqing did not want to give up the front line of Linzhou, and Daxuan basically completed the control of Heluo, but Yingchuan, the important town of Heluo, was still in the hands of Daning, and Linzhou in the north has always been the Xuan, Ning consultation area, Puyang, which was the former Puzhou, was stationed in a large number of elite Ning troops, so the Heluo area was not safe.

After half a pillar of incense, Meng Yan turned around and said: "Qingshuai, King Qin's soldiers and horses are still in Qinyang and are preparing to attack Puzhou and Jiangzhou, the soldiers and horses of Xingyang and Jinnan have not yet completed the army, and the only soldiers and horses that can be used in the Heluo area are Huo Youji, is it a bit risky to go north to Tangyin at this time?" ”

Chen Zhiqing replied directly without thinking: "Your Majesty, why use Huo Youji's soldiers and horses, Long Tingfei has already received Huo Youji's order to wait in Weizhou, and the minister thinks that Xingyang's soldiers and horses can be transferred to Long Tingfei for the time being, as long as Tang Yin is taken, all the pressure can be relieved." ”

"Qingshuai, Long Tingfei has just been attached, can he?" Tan Ji cautiously questioned, in his heart, Long Tingfei was not trustworthy.

Chen Zhiqing glanced at Tan Ji, this kid has the ability, but he is a little timid in his actions, to put it bluntly, his mind is not right, there are more drill camps, he doesn't like Tan Ji, in his heart he still thinks that Xuan Song is the most suitable candidate to take over the cardinal, but His Majesty has his own ideas and he can't say anything.

"Tan Hou, the Heluo area has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, Heluo, Guanzhong, and Jianghuai have always been the most critical places, Guanzhong and Jianghuai are not in our hands, and we can't and can't let Heluo have problems anymore." Chen Zhiqing's words were conclusive, and his face became flushed as he spoke, which was a sign of excitement.

Seeing this, Meng Yan hurriedly reassured: "Qingshuai, be careful of your body, I know what you mean, but marching into Tangyin is indeed a risky move, and I came to the cardinal platform today to discuss a safe plan with you." ”

Tan Ji was even more embarrassed when he saw this, and annoyed Qing Shuai with one sentence, alas, he made enemies again, and hurriedly responded: "Qing Shuai, I just think that Long Tingfei has just been attached, and the Heluo army is unstable, is it more appropriate to transfer troops and horses from elsewhere?" ”

Chen Zhiqing coughed twice and said: "Tan Hou don't need to be nervous, Your Majesty also said that we are discussing, Daning has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to camp troops on the line from Yingchuan to Jiujiang, the Condor Army is already lacking in skills, and now the only soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are the Vientiane Army and the soldiers and horses near Chengdu, and we will have no chance at all when they pass, so for the stability of the Heluo area, we can only take risks, since Long Tingfei is already our colleague, I believe him." ”

Meng Yan is also suspicious of Long Tingfei's use, he has always liked to keep a hand in his work, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Tan Ji, you report to Haitang Garden in the name of Shutai to discuss the matter of going north to Tangyin, and you will lead Bai Zejun north with me in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhiqing and Tan Ji were shocked, Your Majesty is going to recruit in person, since he became the emperor, His Majesty has hardly led troops to go out again, not that he does not believe in Meng Yan's ability to lead troops, but that his status is precious, if something happens to him, everyone will wipe their necks, this is resolutely unacceptable.

Chen Zhiqing struggled to get up and said, "Never! If Your Majesty is not at ease, the minister is willing to go! ”

Meng Yan shook his head and said: "Qingshuai, I can't joke with your body, all the soldiers and horses still need you to command, it's okay, don't worry, Tan Ji is also a person who has been in charge of the army for many years, plus the soldiers and horses everywhere in Heluo will not be a problem." ”

Chen Zhiqing and Tan Ji hurriedly knelt down and wanted to refute, but Meng Yan continued: "The affairs of the court are handed over to the Begonia Garden, if there is something undecided in the Begonia Garden, you can discuss it with the queen, Qingshuai, you are right, Heluo is unstable, and our Daxuan will be unstable." ”

Chen Zhiqing and Tan Ji glanced at each other, knowing that it was useless to refute, so they could only respond, and then Chen Zhiqing asked his entourage to carry him to Begonia Garden, this matter was too big, he had to communicate with Gu Yanfeng and others.

And Tan Ji was ordered to hurriedly find Yan Que, go out of the city to inspect the camps, His Majesty personally recruited, and the soldiers and horses must be good at fighting and loyal.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Long Tingfei received an order from the imperial court, asking him to lead some soldiers and horses in Xingyang north to the front line in Linzhou, and not to report to Huo Youxiao for the time being.

Long Tingfei was nervous and excited, nervous that he led the troops for the first time after the annexation, and was excited that the imperial court did not regard him as a subordinate, he held the edict and held it crumpledly, and said to the Weizhou county guard after a long time: "Lord Hu, the imperial decree has arrived, let's prepare, the Xingyang army will arrive in three days at most." ”

The county guard of Weizhou is familiar with Long Tingfei's identity, and he is unhappy, but the imperial court has an edict that he must abide by, so he only listened to his stiff response: "Long Shuai, you can rest assured about the baggage, you can prepare it tomorrow, but Weizhou is newly established, and the place where the army is stationed still needs to be selected by yourself, and non-military places do not ask about military affairs, this is an iron order, and the edict only asks Weizhou to cooperate." ”

Long Tingfei was dumbfounded, he was still not used to Daxuan's military and political separation, and the attitude of the Weizhou county guard made him not react for a while, but he still quickly adapted to Daxuan's intelligence transmission, the official post, the pigeon house, the military secretary to explore the horse, the National Security Institute, and the Baiyi Temple, the most important instructions will let the five intelligence transmission agencies operate together, and then the private seal of the person who receives the will will will take effect.

The Weizhou county guard threw him a big problem, he was about to humbly ask for advice, his deputy general, Yue Qi, who had just been transferred from the white-clothed army, stopped him, after the Weizhou county guard left, Yue Qi turned around and saluted: "Long Shuai, the local officials are like this, this time the edict is second-level, so Long Shuai has no power to order him, but we can go to the Weizhou Wuwei Battalion and let them provide a venue, after all, our military and the Wuwei Battalion are in the same vein, and many times the two sides can be adjusted and transferred to each other." ”

Long Tingfei was interested, and it would take time for Xingyang Jun to come over, so he took the opportunity to get acquainted with it, so he smiled and said: "Yue Qi, Long has some questions that he wants to ask, can you take me to get acquainted with one or two?" ”

"Long Shuai, please ask, I know everything." He knows Long Tingfei's reputation, but he doesn't know what Long Tingfei is, since he is so humble to ask for advice, and he joined Huohou's new army as soon as he joins it, it can be seen that the court and His Majesty trust him.

"What's going on with this patrol battalion and Wuwei battalion?"

"Long Shuai, the patrol battalion is subordinate to the locality, based on the county, and the patrol battalion of each county has a division sent to each town, responsible for local security and arresting and repairing thieves, and only obeys the orders of the locality; The Wuwei battalion is slightly different, only responsible for local security, has its own independent station, and is not subordinate to the locality, and the general commander of the Wuwei battalion is a member of the local team, but the Wuwei battalion is under the jurisdiction of the cardinal, so the Wuwei battalion and the military can occasionally be transferred to each other. Yue Qi tried his best to tell it clearly.

Long Tingfei was thoughtful, and then asked, "What about the local garrison?" ”

"The local garrison is under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion, and there will be a different number of garrisons above the county level, but they are generally not the main force, and the main force garrison is uniformly arranged by the Marshal Mansion and submitted to the cardinal for review.

After all, he was a long-term leader of the troops, and he immediately found the advantages of Daxuan's military arrangements, the biggest advantage being the military disasters that were avoided, and at the same time completely and effectively isolated the entanglement between the local government and the military.

"The system is deep and strict, very good, what is the meaning of the second-level edict?" Long Tingfei became more and more interested.

"Our DPRK's military orders are divided into five levels, the fifth level is the ordinary change of defense, the fourth level is the transfer of defense, the third level is the cross-regional task, the second level is the military order, and the first level is the national defense order.

Long Tingfei listened with great interest, asked a lot of questions, and saw that the evening was approaching, Yue Qi reminded: "Long Shuai, the last general has to go and discuss the garrison with the Wuwei Battalion. ”

"Oh, oh, it's me who forgot the time, General Yue, go over quickly, and finalize the station to meet the Xingyang army as soon as possible."

After Yue Qi left, Long Tingfei digested the content, and began to study the problem of going north, he admired the geographical map of mountains and rivers used by the Daxuan military, all of which were glued to it, and there were small flags representing the colors of different forces inserted on it, which could clearly see the division of the forces, according to Yue Qi, the Ministry was studying sticky glue paint to make it more convenient for the military to use, but Long Tingfei was already very satisfied with such a geographical map.

The Xingyang army came over 20,000, the garrison of Weizhou in Qi County was 10,000, the northwest was the Jinnan Army, the southwest was the Xingyang Army, and the southeast was the Kaifeng Army.

Tangyin is the seat of the state capital of Linzhou, and it is a three-regardless zone, but the guard of Linzhou was originally a general under Lu Qingchen, and he had already taken refuge in Daning in private, but for the agreement between Ling, Xuan and Ning, Linzhou still nominally belonged to Luochen, and now that Luochen is gone, it is only a matter of time before Linzhou is attached, and he understands very clearly that the meaning of the imperial court is to grab time with Daning.

It wasn't until the ugly time that Long Tingfei finished writing the strategy of entering Tangyin, just knocked on the table, and immediately flashed out of the shadows, Long Tingfei was still a little uncomfortable.

straightened his mind and said: "Inform the pigeon house to submit this document to Huo Hou for review as soon as possible." ”

This time, Huo Youji's "White Ape Brigade" went north this time is the main general, and he is the vanguard army, but Long Tingfei's secret document is very clear that Huo Youji wants to drag Yu Qingwu in Suiyang, and the matter of going north is only his own army, and the follow-up troops will take at least half a month to arrive, that is to say, his vanguard army will set off in three days, and there will only be two days to take Tangyin, and then he will be ready to accept the siege from the Ning army, and 30,000 people will hold on for ten days, which is not an easy thing.

To talk about the people who defend the city in the Central Plains know that Daxuan Zhuo Bailing is the best, Mengyan can go to today's scene and Zhuo Bailing's persistence is inseparable, he Mengyan can rest assured that the expedition abroad is relying on Zhuo Bailing's persistence, but Zhuo Bailing has not been out of the mountain for many years, and it is said that he is in Chengdu to retire.

After the Xingyang army arrived, Long Tingfei ordered a simple repair and set off immediately, he was surprised to find that the Xingyang army seemed to be very easy to accept the military system of Daxuan, without a trace of discomfort, a trace of doubt flashed in his mind, was Mu Yi take the initiative to learn? Unlike, the cultivation of military quality is not achieved overnight, is Mu Yi...
