Chapter 45: Surrender to the Army

My name is Wang Huan, the word is Youzhi, and I am from Shezhou.

Previously, because the monarch Li Yu was a Buddha, he set up a fast and recited, and there was no empty day in the month, and he repeatedly wrote to the monarch to die. Although he has the consciousness of death several times, he has not been held accountable many times, and even his official rank has not changed.

After the saint was proclaimed emperor, he slightly promoted me to be the counselor of the five products, and I was also a scholar in the palace to ask about politics, but I have never been promoted to the political hall, which is the core of the current power of the Tang Dynasty. No, the political hall is not the core of the power of the Tang Dynasty, because today, the Holy Lord suddenly summoned me into the church, and I found that the political hall is no longer the previous system of the old Tang Dynasty.

Previously, the political affairs hall was represented by the Menxia Province, and when Zhongzong moved to Zhongshu Province, it was called Zhongshu Zhengshitang, and the solid dynasty was renamed the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Shi and led the politics of the two phases, so I Datang since the beginning of Zhongzong, the court minister has almost absolute rights, and the upper can govern the country, and the lower can be reformed.

However, when I entered the government hall today, I found that the five-room system, which was originally composed of the officials' room, the cardinal's room, the soldier's room, the household room, and the torture room, fell into the palace in a unified manner. The real ruler of the fifth room is not the current court minister Han Xizai, nor Shang Shucheng Pan You, but the young monarch in front of him: Li Yu!

I, Wang Huan, have the ability to recognize people since I was a child, Han Xizai is loyal, and he puts the country first in every detail, but his character flaw is too sentimental, and this kind of person often ends up depressed; Pan You is frank, but pretending to be frank, this person is shrewd in his heart, good at speculating on people's hearts, and if he wins the master, he will definitely be like a fish in water; Tang Yue pays attention to decency in everything, but although this person is from a famous family, he has no real high opinions, and only has some literary talents.

Nowadays, there are many officials like Tang Yue in the hall, so I guess that this young monarch wants to give Wenchen some rights, but judging from the establishment of the political affairs hall, Wenchen does not have absolute rights, so this saint must use Wenchen, but he is secretly wary of Wenchen everywhere.

The saint does not give Wenchen great power, that is, to reuse the generals, but these days I look at the Longxiang army does have clues, the nominally newly promoted junior general Li Yuanzhen, and the veteran Liu Renzhen are the elite left and right commanders of the Longxiang army, but in fact, the commanders of the various military departments of the Longxiang army only recognize the Son of Heaven and do not recognize the generals, which is also the purpose of the Shengshang's frequent entry and exit of the Longxiang army.

At this point, I have only three words for the young monarch in front of the political hall: "I can't see through"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a matter to discuss with you today, and this matter is really disturbing my sleep!"

There are worries in the saint, but it is not clear that this is to find some wise people to share his worries, only for him to share his worries, in order to have more opportunities to get the right to ask the government, in order to prosper my Tang Dynasty, the saint has just returned from the north, and calling us today must be a major event that can shake the country's foundation, so this wise man must be my Wang...

"Holy! But the army that was imprisoned in the land of swimming water a few days ago was worried! ”

This Pan You! It's a quick mouth! Maybe you're a little older, and I'll let you do it once.

"Yes, 20,000 Song troops, whether I kill them or use them."

What do you mean by this? Let me Wang Huan think about it, my Tang Dynasty lost as many as 10,000 soldiers in Chuzhou, but most of them were Li Chongjin's soldiers and horses, and so on! Could it be that the saint had already calculated before, so that Li Ying's soldiers and horses would use their lives to block Zhao Kuangyin? Li Ying's soldiers and horses blocked the Song army, so now there must be as many as 20,000 surrendered troops!

"The minister feels..."

"Holy! These 20,000 soldiers and horses, if they are killed directly, it will inevitably make the people of the Tang Dynasty in the world frightened! There is no longer a dare to vote for the Tang soldiers! ”

I Wang Huan didn't finish speaking, you Li Yuanzhen are making a lot of fun! Wenchen discusses politics! It's the civil minister who discusses politics! Look at Liu Renzhen, that old thing just sat and didn't say a word! If you hadn't been too close to the Holy One, I would have shown my face in front of the Holy One a long time ago! After all, it's about military politics, so let your young general be in the limelight first.

"It's precisely because of this that I can't be left right, although I have to surrender the army, I can't sleep."

The saint said this, it must be to lead out a person who can be of the same heart with him, even Li Yuanzhen understands the truth, the saint is so calculating, it is impossible not to know, so the saint must have thought about how to use this army, but if the army is to be used, it is necessary to stabilize the military heart of this army! Since ancient times, those who have stabilized the hearts of the army will inevitably be generals, so this will!

"I think..."

"The old man feels it! Well? ... Scholar Wang seems to have something to say? That being the case..."

"Ahem... Cough! The old general said, it's just that his throat is not very breathing..."

Liu Renzhen, you old puppet asked like this, didn't you just tell me to shut up, and if you want to show your face in front of the saint, you can say it directly, and you are still pretending to be generous with me here, but the political hall has never allowed military generals to enter the hall in the past, and the saint suddenly restructured this chamber can be discussed by both civil and military, and there is indeed his reason, so let your old puppet be the first to show off!

"Holy! The old man felt that these 20,000 soldiers could be used by the saint, but he still needed someone who could stabilize the heart of the army, but the person who stabilized the heart of the army was not in the hall, even the old man could not control the 20,000 army, if the saint could buy the battalion commanders of the army, the army of 20,000 would be used by the Tang Dynasty! ”

"General Liu is reasonable, and I also feel that if you want to use the troops of the surrendered army, you must first recruit the generals of the surrendered army! It's just that this trick is easier said than done! Lin Qingjia, you and the Shouzhou soldiers and horses jointly escorted the surrendered army, what do you think of the twelve battalion commanders of the Song Army? ”

"Holy Lord! The commanders of these 12 battalions have a domineering attitude along the way, and it is difficult to train! Although they were all unslashed and their armor was removed, they shouted that they would fight to the death with General Tang! And a small general of the Song Army commanded Li Huaijin, and he didn't say anything along the way, and he didn't touch a drop of water! ”

Li Huaijin? Still dripping? The commanders of the twelve battalions still have a domineering attitude? There must be something strange in this matter, according to my Wang Huan's considerations, it is understandable that one person is not afraid of death, but the commander of the 12th battalion is not afraid of death with one heart and one mind, and all of them are unruly and difficult to train, either they are loyal to Zhao Kuangyin, or... Just want to make a false impression, to give people a loyal face, since ancient times, according to the army, if you can guess that the other party is a master, only the opposite, first do a loyal appearance, in order to save your life.

Therefore, the commander of the 12th battalion is really unpredictable, if I want Wang Huan to control this soldier and horse, I must not start with the commander of the 12th battalion first, so! Surely the Holy One will also!

"Minister..."

"Holy! The old minister thought! If I want to control these 20,000 soldiers and horses, for the sake of safety, I can only start with the Song camp to control Li Huaijin! As the saying goes, if the thief captures the king first, if Li Huaijin surrenders, up to the commander of the 12th battalion, down to the 20,000 Song people to surrender the army, they can all be used by my Tang Dynasty and the saints! ”

Oh, Han Xizai, you're an old thing! You're all that old! Even the prime minister of the great country is on board! You now want to be famous, you want to have power! Do you still have to fight with me for this little merit!

But today's coming to this political hall, let me be more and more sure that the monarch in front of me is unfathomable, although he looks young, but everything is in his chest, all the people in this hall who were promoted by him are also some strongmen who can be Anguo and Wu Kexingguo, and now it seems that if I want to stand out, I must find a critical moment!

"I thought about it, but I thought of a way to use Li Huaijin alone to control the twelve battalions of the army..."

"Holy Lord, this is to recruit Li Huaijin? According to the old minister's opinion, this Li Huaijin has a high heart, and may not be willing to surrender to the saint..."

Looking at Han Xizai's thoughtful appearance, there must be worries, but I have been watching the saint for many days, and the saint has always used tricks and killed decisively, so this Li Huaijin and the saint must have other plans!

Besides, although the saint reuses Han Xiang, he is just an old minister who has a foundation on the king's side, if the country does not perish, the saint must not like to look forward to the future, so he must wait for another wise man! I don't know who the Holy Congregation will call in this church...

"Wang Qing! I look at you as if you have something to say, but I don't know that the scholars in this palace have a good plan to relieve my worries! ”

"Ahh Minister... Belch.. The minister feels..."

Don't ask! Don't ask if it's late! The good and bad words were all said by these old foxes before asking, how can I guess what you want to do with Li Huaijin! No way! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no matter what, you have to give him a try! Fight, success or failure in one fell swoop!

"Holy! The minister felt that it would be great if Li Huaijin could be recruited by the benefits of wealth and wealth! Correct... As Han Xiang said, this Li Huaijin is the commander of the Song camp at such a young age, and he must have his superiority, and he must also have his unruly bones, if he can't be recruited... Holy on... The Holy One can kill him! To deter the commander of the 12th battalion! Shaking the army with death is not a means of controlling people's hearts! ”

"Not bad! I, Bachelor Wang, still have some good strategies in my belly, and today's matter will be discussed here, and tomorrow Li Huaijin and others will be escorted to the Tianzi Camp in Longqian Mountain! ”

It's dangerous! Finally leaked his face in front of this unfathomable Son of Heaven! In this way, I, Wang Huan, can be regarded as standing out in the political hall!
