Chapter 248: Creating a New Legion, Improper Subordinate
In the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, Gongsun Yi solemnly looked at Tang Tingbai.
"We are next to each other in Persia and Nan Chen, so the relationship is also good."
"Just half a month ago, Nan Chen's military department Shangshu became Nan Chen's right servant."
"Unified management, three departments of soldiers, criminals, and workers."
"This right servant's name is Zhao Yuangeng, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with this name, right?"
Zhao Yuangeng?
Hearing this name, Tang Tingbai's face changed.
Of course, he is not unfamiliar with this name, because this Zhao Yuangeng is the father of the Queen Mother Zhao Suzhi.
Back then, the Dayan Zhao family was the head of the family.
Later, after Zhao Yuangeng, the head of the Zhao family, married Zhao Suzhi to the first emperor, he moved his family south and disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, the Zhao family actually gained a firm foothold in Nanchen.
And this Zhao Yuangeng has also become Nan Chen's right servant, and this official position is equivalent to the central general of Dayan.
This is also a trouble for Dayan.
After all, the current Dayan is not even a third-class empire, if this Zhao Yuangeng insists on making trouble with him, it is estimated that it will be very tricky.
Gongsun Yi smiled: "Brother-in-law, the purpose of telling you this is to hope that you will be careful, after all, we are a cooperative relationship now, and you can't have anything to do." ”
In fact, Gongsun Yi also has his own purpose.
First, now that Tang Tingbai is his brother-in-law, he doesn't want Tang Tingbai to be in any danger and let his own sister be widowed, although Tang Tingbai and he are enemies.
Second, now he is doing business with Tang Tingbai and wants to make money by relying on Tang Tingbai's mirror.
Previously, he lost hundreds of thousands of elites in the hands of Dayan, resulting in a lot fewer supporters in China.
Therefore, he hoped to use his wealth to buy the Persian officials to support him, so that he would have the opportunity to fight for the throne.
Tang Tingbai nodded and did not speak.
There was some solemnity in his heart.
The current Dayan is still too weak.
Not to mention anything else, Dayan now has the ability to destroy any of the three major empires in the Eastern Regions.
For example, if you pour the whole country into fighting Persia, you will definitely be able to destroy Persia.
But Dayan must be greatly injured, and Rome and the Xiongnu will definitely not give up, and will even join forces to attack Dayan.
When that time comes, Dayan will definitely not be able to defeat him.
Now, the top priority is to expand the army and make money.
Soon, Kevin and Gongsun Yi left, and the two of them each took away 10,000 mirrors and left satisfied.
Although the mirror will break quite a bit during transportation, it doesn't matter.
As long as they are sold to Rome or the Southern Chen Empire in the Southern Regions, they will definitely be able to make more than ten times as much blood.
Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair and frowned.
He took a brush and wrote a few lines on a blank piece of paper.
The First Army, Commander Lu Bu.
Second Army, Corps Commander Huang Zhong.
Third Army, Legion Commander Zhou Yu. (Navy!) )
Fourth Army, corps commander Zhao Yun.
Fifth Army, corps commander Guan Yu.
Sixth Army, Legion Commander Ma Chao.
Three battalions, corps commander Mulan.
So far, Dayan has only 700,000 troops.
Compared with the current territory of Dayan, it is still far from enough.
Tang Tingbai wanted to expand the army, but then again, at present, there are few candidates who can be capable of serving as the commander of the corps.
Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Cheng Yanjin, who served as deputy commanders, were the only three people.
Although Li Xin is now the Twelfth Taibao of Jinyiwei, then again, Tang Tingbai still thinks that he is suitable for the army.
After all, in history, Li Xin is also a famous general.
Not to mention Meng Tian, he was also wronged in the hands of Tang Tingbai during this time, after all, he has not been a regular person for a long time, and has always served as a deputy.
As for Cheng Biting Jin's words, Tang Tingbai hesitated.
Because Lao Cheng is suitable for charging into battle and really commanding the battle.
To be honest, Lao Cheng is almost meaningless.
After all, as the commander of the legion and commanding the army, it is putting the lives of 100,000 people on his body, and Lao Cheng is still a little unsuitable.
After a moment of silence, Tang Tingbai looked at the door: "Sub bed!" ”
"The subordinates are here." Zhao Zi immediately walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Zi Bed, you go and find Li Xin, Meng Tian and Cheng Yanjin, just say that I have something to do with them!" Tang Tingbai calmly spoke: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Su Lie has come back from vacation, you can find Su Lie again!" ”
"My subordinates will go." Zhao Zibed turned to leave.
Tang Tingbai was still sitting on the chair, thinking about the most suitable position for the four of them.
To put it bluntly, there are not many senior generals in Dayan who can lead troops to fight.
Even the native generals simply did not.
Tang Tingbai didn't know if the heroes produced by the king were too strong, or the local heroes were too weak.
As for Su Lie, Tang Tingbai valued it very much.
After all, Su Lie's predecessor was the famous general Su Dingfang of the Tang Dynasty.
Such a person is really a bit condescending to be the chief soldier of a government.
And so, half an hour later.
Meng Tian, Li Xin, Lao Cheng and Su Lie all came.
The four of them bowed together: "The ministers meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" ”
Seeing the four of them, Tang Tingbai smiled, stood up and personally helped everyone up.
"This is not the court, sit down, I want to talk to you when I come here." Tang Tingbai at this moment is very approachable.
The four of them all looked at Tang Tingbai with a smile.
They knew that the emperor was definitely not asking them to come over.
Lao Cheng grinned and said: "Your Majesty, what is the matter with you looking for us to come over, directly say, whether it is on Daoshan Mountain or under the oil pot, we can do everything except that we can't give birth to a child in person." ”
Lao Cheng's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Tang Tingbai also smiled.
"That's right, I'm going to set up a few more new legions, and I'm going to make a few of you legion commanders, how about it?"
What?
Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Meng Tian and Su Lie's faces were full of excitement.
Li Xin and Lao Cheng were very calm, and even had a trace of reluctance on their faces.
Lao Cheng sneered: "Your Majesty, my ability is limited, it's good to be a deputy military seat, I shouldn't be a military seat, but if you give me the rank of a regiment commander, it's not bad." ”
Lao Cheng is a smart man, he knows what he is good at, and he also knows what he is not good at.
How many men are not ambitious?
Lao Cheng also has his own ambitions, and he naturally wants to be the commander of the legion, but he knows deeply that he really doesn't have that ability.
Instead of taking 100,000 brothers to death, it is better to give up this position to someone who has the ability and serve as the deputy commander himself, which is quite a cool life.
And the reason why the old minister wants to be on an equal footing with the commander of the legion is the cleverness of this rough man.
In the future, Dayan will unify the entire Eastern Regions, and at that time, he will inevitably reward the meritorious heroes.
His own titles and territory will definitely not be less than those of those legion commanders.
Tang Tingbai glanced at Lao Cheng appreciatively, this is an extremely smart person.
Tang Tingbai looked at Li Xin: "Old Twelve, what's wrong with you, and you don't want to be the commander of the legion?" ”
Li Xin smiled bitterly and nodded: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are very good in Jinyiwei, and your subordinates are now responsible for extorting confessions from those prisoners every day, in fact, it's quite cool, there is a lot of money, and you have a status, and you are honored as the Twelfth Master wherever you go...... I don't want to move anymore. ”
This......
Tang Tingbai glanced at Li Xin in surprise, he didn't expect Li Xin to think like this.
He looked at Meng Tian and Su Lie again: "What about you two, is there a problem?" ”
Meng Tian and Su Lie immediately shook their heads: "There is no problem with the subordinates, it is all up to the emperor to decide!" ”
Tang listened to Bai smiled and chatted with everyone for a while.
The crowd left.
And Tang Tingbai sighed, it was understandable that a smart person like Lao Cheng, who had no quarrel with the world, didn't want to be the commander of the legion.
However, Li Xin didn't want to be it, but he never thought of it.
However, Tang Tingbai was confident that Li Xin would definitely do it, and he would not persuade him.
Because someone will convince Li Xin......
