"I didn't think it through before, and the matter of the Shence Army still has to bother General Zhang." Li Ye also understood that only Zhang Chengye could do this.

Zhang Chengye did not shirk, "The minister will do his best to make the Shence Army his right-hand man!" ”

Talking to smart people is worry-free.

At present, there are 8,000 soldiers in the Shence Army, 6,000 Janissaries in Xiliucheng, 2,000 in the Li Yun Division in Huazhou, 2,000 in the Zhou Yunyi Division in Tongzhou, and 1,500 in the Zhang Xingjin Division in Tongguan, almost 20,000 soldiers, which is nearly half less than before the disarmament, but the combat effectiveness has definitely been qualitatively improved.

Especially the Shence Army, the handle of the knife is held in his hand, which is stronger than anything else.

Huazhou is now the hinterland, and 2,000 troops are enough, but Tongzhou and Tongguan are a bit stretched.

In the northwest of Tongzhou is Li Sixiao, the envoy of Baoda Festival in the town of Dunfang, and in the northeast is Wang Chongying in the river.

Li Sixiao and Li Sigong of the Dingyan Army were both party members, that is, the ancestors of the later Western Xia.

Li Sigong took advantage of the Zhu Mei Rebellion and Bao Da Jiedu to make the East Kui, sent Li Sixiao to capture Yanzhou, and soon took Yanzhou, the first year of Wende, the imperial court from Li Sigong requested, awarded Li Sixiao Bao Dajie Envoy, Dunfang Danzhai and other state observation envoys, so the two brothers possessed two towns and eight states.

The previous time Zhang Jun fooled Zhaozong to fight Li Keyong, Li Sigong and Li Sixiao responded positively, sent troops and did not contribute, preserved their strength in the periphery, and were ready to pick up Li Keyong's head at any time.

Li Cunxiao was so powerful that he easily defeated Zhang Jun, and the brothers immediately withdrew from the army when they saw that they had no advantage of taking advantage of it.

With such a scheming neighbor, Li Ye had to guard against it.

There is also Wang Chongying, and Tongguan is also below Wang Chongying's soldiers.

Fifteen hundred people, really a little worried.

And the Hezhong Army and the Tang Dynasty already have old grudges, during the Xizong Dynasty, the eunuch Tian Lingzi was anxious to make money, and took a fancy to the salt ponds of Anyi and Xie County in the Hezhong Army, and the operation was fiercer than the tiger, which directly forced Wang Chongrong to make Wang Chongrong at that time, Wang Chongrong was Wang Chongying's brother, and also one of the heroes of the pacification of Huangchao, full of resentment, and united Li Keyong to capture Chang'an, Tian Lingzi coerced Xizong to flee to Fengxiang, which caused the Zhu Mei Rebellion.

Li Ye thought for a while and decided to transfer 3,000 Shence troops to Tongzhou and Tongguan.

Zhang Chengye thought so, "The two places of Dunfang and Hezhong are obedient to the imperial court, but in fact, they harbor evil intentions, and if there are no heavy troops stationed there, sooner or later they will be covetous." ”

The three of them talked in detail again, and Gao Xingzhou pushed all the errands that he could push, saying that he was only good at military affairs, and the rest was inadequate.

Li Ye couldn't cry or laugh, but that's fine, it's not necessarily a good thing that power is too concentrated in one person, since Gao Xingzhou took the initiative to put it forward, Li Ye was not polite, and divided the Shence Army into two battalions on the left and right, with 3,000 people each, Li Ye led the commander, Zhang Chengye was the deputy commander, Gao Xingzhou was the commander of the left battalion, and Ashina Zhenyan was the commander of the right battalion.

In Li Ye's heart, Gao Xingzhou and Ashina Zhenyan are both young generals, who can bring vitality to the Shence Army, and with Zhang Chengye in charge, the domestication of the Shence Army is a matter of time.

After dealing with the matter of the Shence Army, Li Ye can be regarded as putting down a big stone.

As soon as I left the camp gate, I saw Cui Zhaowei's father and son still kneeling in the snow.

The snowmelt was colder than the snow, Cui Zhaowei's face was blue from the cold, and Cui Yuanlang was like a defeated rooster, drooping his head and staring at the snow in front of his knees.

To say that this Cui Zhaowei is really a smart person, it was Li Ye's hand that reacted so quickly.

"Cui Aiqing, what is this for? It's cold in the snow, get up quickly, it's not good to freeze your body. Li Ye eagerly helped Cui Zhaowei up.

"The old minister is frightened, he has no way to teach his son, and he is ashamed of His Majesty." I don't know if it's cold, or if I'm really scared, my body has been shaking.

Cui Zhaowei is only forty years old, almost less than fifty, and he is not ashamed of the old ministers and ministers all day long.

Li Ye actually knew what he was afraid of.

After the annexation of the Zhenguo Army, Li Ye's prestige rose sharply, and now the Shence Army is in his hands, on the other hand, his backer Wang Xingyu, after turning against Li Maozhen, had to rely on the imperial court, the power is not as good as before, and the threat to the imperial court has also decreased a lot, and with Liu Quanli hooking up, Cui Zhaowei's value has been greatly reduced.

Of the four prime ministers, his position is precarious.

Han Quanzhu is covered by Li Maozhen, Cui Yin has Zhu Wen to hook up, and Wei Zhaodu has Qingliu fame to protect his body.

can mix with the prime minister, no one has a bad head.

Now the life of Cui Zhaowei's family is just a matter of Li Ye's words.

Li Ye patted him on the arm and hinted frantically: "Cui Aiqing, you are not young anymore, it is so cold, go home early and enjoy Qingfu, it is not bad to have children and grandchildren." ”

To say that Datang is still good to the prime minister, as long as he does not commit great crimes, stand on the wrong side and the like, he is basically treated preferentially by the Li Tang royal family.

Cui Zhaowei's only serious thing when he came to power was to fight with Han Quanzhi, it was not a great crime, and there was the Cui family standing behind him, if he could take the initiative to step down, Li Ye would also give him enough face.

Cui Zhaowei's whole body trembled, obviously understanding this sentence, but his eyes didn't dare to look at Li Ye, "Although the old minister is old, he can still shelter the Tang Dynasty from the wind and snow." ”

Shelter from the wind and snow? It's good if you don't poke a hole in Datang.

This guy is unwilling to let go of power, Li Ye laughed twice, "Cui Aiqing is so weak, and he still wants to shield Datang from the wind and snow, I am very relieved." ”

After saying that, he ignored him and left with his personal guards. Unexpectedly, Cui Zhaowei knelt down again and cried: "Your Majesty, the old minister is dedicated to the country, and every day can be expressed!" ”

If it weren't for Wang Xingyu to persecute the court, how could this guy have a chance to ascend to the position of prime minister? Li Ye turned around and stared at him: "Cui Aiqing has to touch his conscience when he speaks." ”

The acting skills are okay, crying when you say it, and it is much better than some stars in later generations.

Cui Zhaowei was not afraid of being embarrassed, and crawled all the way from the snow to Li Ye, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the old minister will die in front of Your Majesty now." "Don't." What Li Ye is most afraid of is this kind of life and death.

really hit and died, and didn't splash Li Ye's blood?

However, Cui Zhaowei's appearance was indeed a little pitiful, Li Ye moved a little compassion, and helped him up from the ground again, "Cui Aiqing, you and I are a monarch and minister, there is no need for this, according to me, you can't stay in the court, I don't move you, and Han Quanzhi and Cui Yin won't let you go." ”

Everyone knows the truth of beating a reservoir dog.

"Your Majesty, the old minister, the old minister is bitter." Kneel down again.

After a lifetime of sharpening his head and squeezing forward, he finally became a prime minister, and within half a year, he was going to be laid off again, and he was unwilling to change anyone.

He wasn't tired, Li Ye was still tired, "Cui Aiqing, you listen to me finish speaking." ”

Li Ye grabbed his arm and didn't let him kneel.

"Han Quanzhi and Cui Yinzhi stole the position of prime minister, the corpse was vegetarian, and they were in the court and the society in the world, without the slightest merit, Aiqing thought I would let them sit in the court all the time? Do you think that colluding with a few feudal towns can coerce the imperial court? Now it's different from the past, I tell you these words, it's good to get together and disperse, don't make trouble to the end, everyone is not decent, my prime minister must have real merits, not rely on the sidelines. ”

This can be regarded as Li Ye's heartfelt words.

I didn't expect Cui Zhaowei to give up, "Your Majesty wants merit, and the minister can do it." ”

"You?" Li Ye was happy in his heart, and he really couldn't remember what he could do besides being an undercover agent, so he said casually: "You have the ability, Aiqing persuaded Wang Xingyu to surrender." ”

Cui Zhaowei's eyes lit up, and he broke free of Li Ye's arm, "The minister takes the order!" ”

Seriously, Li Ye looked Cui Zhaowei up and down, "Aiqing must do what she can, it's not a joke." ”

Cui Zhaowei was extremely serious, "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will persuade Suining Town to return to the court with his incorruptible tongue!" When the time comes, Your Majesty must not forget to leave a place for your ministers! ”
