After the wedding, Li Yuan did not indulge too much in the gentle township, and two days later summoned a group of civil and military officials at the Jiedu Embassy Office.

In the past two months, Liu Jiangsheng has been the queen of Wu Ping, taking charge of all affairs under his rule, and he has borne the brunt of the report. Li Yuan listened carefully for a while, and there was no hint of appreciation in his eyes, Shibei was impressed for three days, Liu Jiangsheng, who has always been honest and wooden, has become more and more calm and capable in speaking and acting after these two months of tempering.

“...... Marshal, as for the expansion of the army, the original 30,000 Langzhou soldiers under Liu Yan have been reorganized into the army, and the remaining 30,000 recruits have also been recruited. ”

Liu Jiangsheng paused, and then deliberately hesitated, and arched his hand at Li Yuan and said: "Dashuai, there is still one more thing in the end, and I need to ask Dashuai's permission!" During the absence of the Great Marshal, many Uighurs from Jiangnan came to join the army, and when the last general saw that they were all eager to serve the country, strong and strong, and especially good at horseback riding, he took matters into his own hands and recruited them into the army of the Great Marshal! According to the previous rules, the roster of the personal army does not need to be reported to the imperial court, but it still needs to be decided by the commander! ”

"Dashuai, that man's name is Ebony Special Service, he is the leader of those Uighur tribesmen, he is born brave, and the general is willing to protect him!" Following Liu Jiangsheng's gaze, Li Yuan saw at a glance the familiar Hui leader Ebony Special Service, who was wearing the armor of a Southern Tang Dynasty general at this time, standing at the door with his waist straight, so he waved to him quietly.

The ebony special service, who had been waiting for a long time, naturally understood, and in full view of everyone, he strode in to meet him, and after a polite gesture like the first meeting, Li Yuan praised him a few words, and naturally appointed him as the deputy commander of the pro-army army, and was in charge of pro-army affairs with Lin Sichang.

The ebony agent looked flattered, and then arched his hand and said loudly: "Thank you for the kindness of the commander!" Since then, he has been determined to be a handsome man, and he will not give up! ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and after waving his hand to signal him to retreat, Xu Kuangheng hurriedly stepped forward, leading the ordnance supervisor Hu Gui behind him and began to report on the progress of the armament that Li Yuan was most concerned about.

Due to Hu Gui's previous promise from Li Yuan, these days, through the wanton expansion of thousands of people, coupled with a large amount of silver investment, the efficiency and production capacity of the ordnance supervision have been increasing day by day, and the armor and blades are being intensified, and the cold forging armor alone can cast two or three thousand pairs per month, which obviously exceeds Li Yuan's expectations.

After giving some encouragement, Li Yuan raised his hand and handed over the sketch of the trebuchet improved in the Battle of Shouzhou, and gave Hu Gui a detailed instruction, judging from the old craftsman's jaw-dropping reaction, he must have been surprised by the handsome's genius.

After the military and political affairs of Langzhou were decided, Li Yuanzheng wanted to get up and move to the barracks to inspect the barracks, and saw Xu Kuangheng come forward and hand him a report.

Seeing Xu Kuangheng's continuous eye gesture towards him, Li Yuan immediately quietly copied the report and examined it carefully.

Raising his eyes is Xu Kuangheng's familiar fluent font, which records all the latest major events in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan smiled dumbly, this military advisor once upon a time became an intelligence chief, and he also combed it into words one by one.

Regarding Li Jinquan's rebellion, on Li Yuan's way back to Langzhou, the imperial court had already made an order. Sure enough, there was no Li Yuan in the list of praises, but he just hastily described his merits and demerits, and then brushed them aside. And Liu Renzhan, who also made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, although he was rewarded with a large amount of silver, the official title did not change much, but he only moved the false title on his head, and was promoted from the original inspector to the inspector.

The most interesting thing is that the emperor changed Liu Renzhan to Shouzhou, replacing the martyred Liu Chongjun as the envoy of the Qinghuai Army, and his original position of Wuchang Army Festival Envoy together with 80,000 Wuchang troops unexpectedly gave Chuzhou the assassin He Jingzhu.

In history, Liu Renzhan's brilliant life ended in Shouzhou, and while Li Yuan lamented that fate made people, he couldn't help but be impressed by Li Jing's approach.

In the past, Liu Chongjun, as the eldest grandson of the Liu family, had already inherited the family business to control the Qinghuai army, and his uncle Liu Renzhan also relied on his outstanding military talents, and finally also built a festival in Ezhou.

The three generations of the Liu family made their fortune in Shouzhou, this time Liu Chongjun was unfortunately martyred, Liu Renzhan and established meritorious service in the family hometown to quell the rebellion, although it is logical to change the town, but the soldiers and horses and territory in the hands of the Liu family have shrunk significantly, and the family's influence in Jiangbei has been significantly weakened.

Thinking of the scene of facing the saint in Jinling before, Li Yuan couldn't help but have a kind of sympathy for the same disease, even if Liu Renzhan and other loyal monarchs who are famous in history to protect the country, it is difficult to escape the suspicion of the king, if he also received the edict to change the town at the same time, how to deal with it when he sees that his painstaking management is in vain? At this time, it is obvious that there is no strength to fight against the entire Southern Tang.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt glad again, if it weren't for the unsettled war in Chudi, I am afraid that I would have been transferred away by Li Jing, and I don't know where to go, so I have to thank Bian Hao and Zhang Luan......

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows again and looked down, all the defeats of the Northern Expedition were recorded, and when he saw that the Northern Expedition army was annihilated in Xiangcheng, his heart couldn't help but surge.

In this battle, Chen Jue and Li Hongji, the two losers, not only did not achieve a single result, but also lost a full 100,000 elites before and after, and lost countless war horses and baggage, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was greatly injured. By the time Chai Rong ascended the throne two years later, the pace of Zhou's southward movement seemed to be even more unstoppable.

And the result of Sun Cheng being ordered to go north to negotiate peace with the Zhou State is obviously strikingly consistent with history.

Emperor Guo Wei of the Zhou State finally quelled the civil strife, and still needed to rectify state affairs, at this time there was no willingness to deal with the Southern Tang Dynasty, not only did not put forward harsh negotiation conditions, but readily put back the captured Liu Yanzhen and other Tang army generals and soldiers, but only left Feng Yanlu in the court, and finally sent the previous Li Jinquan to the head of Liu Chongjun in Kaifeng to show sincerity, with a fragrant wood body to return.

All in all, the tension between the two countries can be regarded as a temporary relaxation. As for how the political situation of the Southern Tang Dynasty will change after Chen Jue and Li Hongji return to the dynasty, it has now become a muddy water that no one can stir up, Li Yuan doesn't care and doesn't want to take the initiative to touch it, he just needs to accumulate strength as soon as possible and sit back and watch the times change.

Turning to the last two pages, Li Yuan finally saw the information he wanted to know the most, the battle report on the southern front.

I saw Xu Kuangheng write a few lines of shocking words in a short time: "Han lord Liu Cheng ordered Pan Chongche to serve as the provincial servant, leading 50,000 troops to attack Chenzhou, and the border pickaxe Zhang Luanjun met with Chongche, and Chongche set up an ambush in Yizhang, beheaded more than 30,000 levels, and fell into Chenzhou on the third day of June. Zhang Luan died, and Bian Hao retreated to Tanzhou, where he was guilty of being defeated from above. On June 20, Chongche led the army north, and Tanzhou was in critical ......"
