…

After learning the real reason for the peace between the Great Qian Dynasty and the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were embarrassed and embarrassed!

They really didn't expect that they really prevented Li Cun from completing the unification, at least temporarily, preventing Li Cun from completing the unification.

But then again, when Li Cun was left to recover this last small piece of territory to complete the unification, he chose to temporarily stop continuing the conquest of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, and instead stabilized his own territory, solved the hidden dangers of the Great Qian Dynasty, and let the people recuperate, the more it shows that Li Cun is a good emperor and a truly holy monarch.

This made Liu Qi and Li Yanxian really happy and convinced of Li Cun!

What made Liu Qi and Li Yanxian even more convinced of Li Cun was that Li Cun did not test them or test them, but directly appointed them as commanders, each leading 10,000 horses, and leading a front-line field army.

In the Daqian Dynasty, even commander-level generals like Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jue actually only had 10,000 horses directly under their direct command.

Isn't that right, one might ask? Didn't Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong each command an army of more than 100,000?

It's not really a conflict.

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong are indeed only 10,000 soldiers and horses directly under them.

It's just that in order to fight the enemy and not restrict the play of the front-line generals, Li Cun transferred a lot of commanders with 10,000 horses to each theater under the command of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong.

Theoretically speaking, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong, the top commanders of the military divisions in each theater, actually only have the power to command these commanders and their partners (that is, the middle-level supervisors of each army), and do not have the power to command the generals and supervisors under these commanders and middle-level supervisors.

Of course, theories are just theories, and after they are actually on the battlefield, they have to be adapted according to the actual situation.

The reason why there is such a situation is mainly to prevent the generals from becoming bigger and stronger and breeding their ambitions, and then having a disobedient heart.

Because of this mechanism to prevent military generals from usurping power, generals who can control 10,000 horses are actually absolute high-ranking generals in the cadre army.

Moreover, theoretically speaking, as long as he becomes the commander, he will have the opportunity to be appointed as the commander by Li Cun and command tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of troops, or even hundreds of thousands of troops to fight.

Looking at it this way, Li Cun really does what he says, saying that he values Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, and he really entrusts Liu Qi and Li Yanxian with important responsibilities.

As two generals, two generals who were not at a high level in the Zhao and Song dynasties, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were so satisfied and even a little surprised to be so valued by Li Cun.

However, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's joy only lasted until they knew which two armies Li Cun had handed over to them.

After coming out of the military department, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian looked at each other and smiled bitterly!

Li Cun actually asked Liu Qi to take over Guo Wei's department, that's right, it was the army that was beaten by Liu Qi, the 10,000 elite army was almost completely annihilated, the commander Guo Wei was killed, the intermediate supervisor Li Lu was killed, more than a dozen middle-level officers at the commander level were killed or wounded, and finally there were less than 2,000 troops returning along the original road.

And Li Yanxian took over the Yue Heng Department, who was defeated by Li Yanxian.

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty really gave me two good armies!" ”

Li Yanxian's face was even more bitter: "You will be secretly happy, your main generals and prison troops have been killed by you, and you will be able to preside over the work smoothly as soon as you go, on my side, Yue Heng was demoted to become my deputy commander, and the 18 generals who were captured by me at the beginning have also been returned by Zhao Song, demoted and transferred to our army to obey orders, how can they ask me to take over him smoothly?" ”

Liu Qi said: "I still steal fun, Guo Hao is Guo Hao's brother, Guo Hao is now the deputy commander of Wu Dutong, you and I are directly under Shangguan, I killed his own brother, can he make me better?" ”

Li Yanxian pouted: "Guo Hao is only the deputy commander, but Yue Dutong is His Majesty's confidant and favorite general, and he is a genuine general." ”

Liu Qi said: "The county officials are not as good as the current management, no matter how much power Yue Dutong is valued by His Majesty, no matter how powerful he is, and you don't go to Pingzhou, can he still put on small shoes for you?" ”

The two of them poured bitter water on each other as they walked.

However, whether it was Liu Qi or Li Yanxian, although they complained, they did not say that they would not take office, let alone ask Li Cun to change their army.

First of all, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian are both arrogant people, they are both very confident in themselves, confident that no matter what kind of army is handed over to them, they will definitely be able to lead a strong army.

Secondly, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were actually very aware of Li Cun's good intentions in handing over these two armies to the two of them.

That's right.

Liu Qi and Li Yanxian took over these two armies, and it seems that there are problems of one kind or another.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, compared with other armies of the Daqian Dynasty, it is obvious that these two armies are more suitable for Liu Qi and Li Yanxian.

Why?

First, these two armies are both front-line strong armies, don't look at the fact that they have been disabled by Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, but their foundation is by no means comparable to those newly formed armies.

Second, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, who had defeated these two armies, could occupy the initiative and psychological advantage as soon as they went up, for example, before anyone wanted to disobey Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's orders, they had to think about whether they were Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's defeated generals, and then they would think carefully about whether they would listen to Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's orders.

As for Guo Hao and Yue Fei? No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than Li Cun behind Liu Qi and Li Yanxian?

You must know that Liu Qi and Li Yanxian are talents that Li Cun personally poached from the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, who must weigh whether Li Cun will clean them up before they become enemies with Liu Qi and Li Yanxian?

Therefore, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian disliked their respective armies, but in fact, they quickly took office.

It was similar to what Liu Qi and Li Yanxian expected in advance, seeing that Liu Qi and Li Yanxian became their commanders, those cadres and soldiers who were defeated by Liu Qi and Li Yanxian and even had enmity with Liu Qi and Li Yanxian did not welcome Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, but they did not resist Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to become their commanders.

This surprised Liu Qi and Li Yanxian very much, because they saw the most precious side of these two armies - obedience.

Even more surprising was Li Yanxian.

Yue Heng not only did not resent Li Yanxian for defeating him and snatching his position as the main general, but also actively cooperated with Li Yanxian to take charge of this army.

Seeing that Yue Heng had such a mind, Li Yanxian concluded that Yue Heng would definitely not always give him a deputy position, and sooner or later, Yue Heng would become the commander.

Liu Qi and Li Yanxian are both generals, and they both have their own methods of leading troops.

The key is that Liu Qi and Li Yanxian are both really capable people.

And what soldiers admire most is those who really have the ability, because such capable people can not only lead them to meritorious service and be rewarded, but also lead them to come back alive from the battlefield.

Therefore, with the help of Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's respective supervising armies, after the initial mutual run-in stage, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian quickly gained a firm foothold in their respective armies.

- To be honest, at the beginning, both Liu Qi and Li Yanxian didn't like their own supervising army very much, and felt that their supervising army was sent by Li Cun to monitor them, but later as the two sides got along deeply, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian knew that the supervising army of the Great Qian Dynasty and the supervising army of the Zhao and Song Dynasty were not the same thing at all, and the supervising army of the Great Qian Dynasty not only did not hinder them from commanding the army, but also helped them to command the army.

This also made Liu Qi and Li Yanxian even more impressed by Li Cun, who invented the system of supervising the army!

At the same time, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were also very satisfied with their respective armies.

In Liu Qi's view, the officers and men of their army are absolutely first-class troops, with high obedience, excellent military skills, and strong will to fight.

In addition, as the main force on the front line, Liu Qi's department and Li Yanxian's department are all the most elite in terms of weapons and equipment, grain, grass and baggage, and they are enough.

This made Liu Qi and Li Yanxian finally bid farewell to the original second- and third-rate armies and became real senior generals.

The only thing that made Liu Qi and Li Yanxian a little regretful and even a little tired was that not long after they mastered their respective armies, the Daqian Dynasty and the Zhao Song Dynasty signed a truce and peace treaty, and they had to temporarily withdraw from Shaanxi.

In this regard, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were worried about it - they felt that if it were not for their desperate resistance before, maybe the cadres would not have to withdraw from Shaanxi, but directly penetrated the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, captured alive the cowardly and despicable Zhao Gou, and let Shengming's Li Cun complete the unification.

The good thing is that -

Liu Qi and Li Yanxian knew that an emperor like Li Cun would never let the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, the territory that the Central Plains Dynasty would have to gain, out of the way.

Therefore, they are just temporarily withdrawing from Shaanxi, and as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely come back to take revenge.

After leaving Shaanxi, Liu Qi followed Wu Ling and Wang Yan to Hedong to resist the invasion of the Jinxia coalition army, while Li Yanxian followed Zhao Li to the south to exterminate the increasingly fierce routs, bandits, and rebels......

Yeonfu Palace, Imperial Garden.

Two young women dressed as palace maids sneakily walked towards the base of the wall.

One of the tall and thin girls said to another young woman who was small and delicate but had a pair of huge figures, "Sister Cao, can you and I really escape from this palace?" ”

Sister Cao, that is, Cao Sanbao, the step-concubine of King Ji Zhao Xu, said: "Don't worry, I have already inquired clearly, the secret passage is behind this wall, you and I only need to climb over this wall, you can enter the secret passage, and then you and I can escape to Fan Lou through this secret passage, there are many people coming and going to Fan Lou, as long as you and I are dressed as men and women, we will definitely be able to mix out, and when you are in the place, Sister Luo, you will be able to see your uncle." ”

Although Cao Sanbao said this, Sister Luo, who is the fiancée of King Zhao Zhen of the letter, Aunt Luo, still asked with some worry: "Can this palace really escape so easily?" ”

Cao Sanbao said: "Naturally not, but since I entered this Yanfu Palace, I was preparing to escape, how can I compare with others, you can rest assured, with me with you, you will be able to escape safely." ”

Aunt Luo was silent for a while, and then retreated: "Otherwise, I still don't run away, I'll beg the queen mother, maybe the queen mother will see me pitiful, help me go to bed as soon as possible, so that my family can also get amnesty, I can also ask the imperial doctor to treat my father, it's better than me escaping like this, in case I am caught, it will affect my family, besides, this round is almost my turn to sleep, otherwise I will wait for the official family?" Maybe, I'm lucky, and your majesty will turn over my sign tonight. ”

Seeing that Aunt Luo seemed to be about to give up "escaping from prison", it was not easy to find someone who was willing to "escape" with her, Cao Sanbao, and hurriedly said to Aunt Luo: "Your eldest brother wrote that my uncle is seriously ill, and I am afraid that time is running out, are you sure that the time will come in time?" ”

When Aunt Luo heard this, she was silent again - this is what she is most worried about, and it is also the main reason why she chose to "escape from prison" with Cao Sanbao.

Cao Sanbao said again: "Your eldest brother said, your uncle's current wish is to see you, you won't let your uncle leave regrets, right?" ”

Hearing Cao Sanbao say this, Aunt Luo's wavering heart couldn't help but be a little firmer.

Seeing Aunt Luo's eyes firm, Cao Sanbao then persuaded: "There are nearly 10,000 women in the palace, no one will find that you and I are gone, after you have seen your uncle, if you are worried about being held accountable, you can go back the same way and continue to wait for him to turn over your brand, it will not matter." ”

Aunt Luo felt that Cao Sanbao had a little sense, so she made up her mind to visit her seriously ill old father first, and then hurried back to continue to wait for Li Cunlin to save her, and then rescue her family.

The two of them came to the base of the wall, where there happened to be a large locust tree growing next to the palace wall.

Cao Sanbao said to Aunt Luo: "I'll climb up first, make sure it's not dangerous, and I'll pull you up again." ”

Unexpectedly, Cao Sanbao's skills were surprisingly flexible, and she climbed to the tree without much effort.

But as soon as he crossed his head over the palace wall, Cao Sanbao was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head!

It turned out that on the other side of the palace wall, there were more than a hundred guards from the tiger and leopard battalion patrolling.

At this moment, Aunt Luo under the tree exclaimed with an inopportune "ah"!

Cao Sanbao heard it, this is okay, isn't this sure that the guards have to be lured over?!

Cao Sanbao hurriedly put a finger to his mouth, and then lowered his head and "shhh

But as soon as Cao Sanbao lowered her head, she saw a figure that made her three souls and seven spirits fly out, and then her hands and feet were weak, and then she fell from the tree.

The wall of this palace is more than a zhang high, that is, nearly four meters, if a person falls to the ground from such a high place, he will definitely not die, and he will have to fall and be injured.

Therefore, after the body was vacated, Cao Sanbao couldn't help but close his eyes: "It's over!" I'm dying! ”

"Bang!"

"Hmm!"

Cao Sanbao, who closed her eyes tightly, hurriedly touched her own body after hearing a muffled snort.

But before Cao Sanbao could confirm whether he was injured or not, Cao Sanbao felt a thick arm that did not belong to her.

This scared Cao Sanbao to open his eyes quickly!

Immediately, Cao Sanbao saw a face that was looking at her with his head down!

At the same time, Cao Sanbao also figured out her current situation, and it turned out that she was stopped by someone and held in her arms.

From this, it is not difficult to deduce that she must have been caught by this person.

This is, of course, Cao Sanbao's luck.

It's just that Cao Sanbao didn't have the joy of the rest of his life because of his luck.

Cao Sanbao raised his head and greeted the person who caught her with a bitter face: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty"

That's right.

The person who caught Cao Sanbao was Li Cun, who was inspecting the growth of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn nearby......
