...

Both Liu Ziyu and Wang Shu are very capable, especially Liu Ziyu, who has both civil and military skills, and is a great talent in the ruling party.

If Zhang Jun hadn't been too conceited and too determined to go his own way on the Sichuan-Shanxi front, and listened to the suggestions of Liu Ziyu, Wang Shu, Wu Jie and others, the Southern Song Dynasty would not have lost Shaanxi, and might even have taken advantage of the trend to regain the Central Plains.

Of course, Liu Ziyu and Wang Shu are actually not just Liu Ziyu and Wang Shu. The titans in the early Southern Song Dynasty, especially the titans who grew up by themselves, all have a strong desire to control.

This is actually related to their growth experience - they all grew up under the random command of a group of incompetent people, suffered countless losses, and fought countless aggrieved and embarrassing defeats.

Just ask, with such experience and talents, how could they not desire to monopolize power and turn the tide to save the Southern Song Dynasty, which was in dire straits, and leave their names in history?
In addition, the emperors of the Song Dynasty also had a common problem, that is, they only dared to move those generals who were weak and obedient. In this case, generals will naturally seize power and form cliques.

In the final analysis, this is actually all caused by the emperor's extreme distrust of generals. If it weren't for the emperors of the Song Dynasty, especially Zhao Gou, who defended against their own generals even better than against the enemy, the generals would not be so desperate. right.

Here is a word, the Song Dynasty, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, was really lucky. If it weren't for the guards of a large number of loyal talents such as Li Gang, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Qi, etc. Based on the stupidity of the old Zhao family, even the 1 Song countries were all trampled down by the golden cavalry.

Li Yan said to Liu Ziyu: "Your father, General Liu Kai, is one of the most commanding generals in our Song Dynasty. It's a pity that the officials didn't let him help me, but it doesn't matter. I also know your talent. I believe that in the future you will surely Not worse than him."

Liu Ziyu bowed: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your praise."

Liu Ziyu has a strong and resolute talent. He was proficient in classics and history at the age of ten. He lived in the army with his father Liu Kai at the age of 11. Later, he simply abandoned literature and martial arts. Now he is proficient in strategy and martial arts. He is a very mature talent, so he can be used by Li Yan, so Li Yan said: "You first handle military affairs with me by my side, and you will have a suitable opportunity in the future." , I will make another appointment for you."

Liu Ziyu was overjoyed!
The people around the chief officer are always the easiest to get promoted because of their closeness and familiarity.

Since Li Yan put him by his side and asked him to serve as a military adviser, it was too obvious that he wanted to be reused.

Liu Ziyu bowed to Li Yan very solemnly, and said, "I will accept your orders."

Li Yan said to Wang Shu again: "I am also aware of your talent. Like Yanxiu, you will work by my side first. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will appoint you separately."

The difference from Liu Ziyu is that Wang Shu Chongning was promoted as a Jinshi in five years, and then he served as the magistrate of Baoding County in Jingzhou. However, Wang Shu was much more peaceful, even Wang Shu didn't want to come to Liangshan Army at first, but now seeing that Li Yan intends to cultivate and reuse him, he bowed and said: "I will take orders."

Regarding Wang Shu's attitude, Li Yan was also helpless!
This is the bad thing about recruiting talents who already have a high position and good development-it is not easy to subdue.

At the same time, Li Yan couldn't help feeling a little thankful that Li Gang, Zong Ze and others were not brought here!

A king and concubine is so difficult to subdue, Li Gang, Zong Ze, especially Zhang Shuye, Zhang Xiaochun, Tang Zhong, Zhan Du, Chen Yu, Liu Wei, Wang Tien and others who are already in power must be even more difficult to subdue.

When it was the turn of Yang Zongmin and Yang Zhen and his son, Li Yan said: "I want to form another army with the designation "Bu Nineteen Army" and an establishment of 5000 people. It will be assigned to you, and you can choose the soldiers from the reserve service yourself."

Because of the need to make room for Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Qi, Wang Yan and others, the First Army must come down with a group of officers.

The rules of the First Army have always been that anyone who leaves his post, as long as he has not made any serious mistakes, will be promoted in other armies.

Battalion commanders under Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Kai, and Wang Yanding, Li Yanhui was sent to each infantry as deputy commander, and gradually turned all Liangshan infantry into a commander, an army instructor, two deputy commanders, and ten soldiers. Commander, Ten Battalion Instructor's leadership model.

Together with Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Qi, Wang Yan and others, there are more than 100 low-level captains with strong abilities.

Although these low-level captains are not Li Yan's main target, they are also the elite of the elites of the various armies of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Li Yan plans to raise them all to one level, and then absorb them into the first army. Increase the strength of the First Army.

In this way, the First Army will inevitably have a lot of outstanding officers.

Therefore, Li Yan planned to form another infantry army based on these outstanding officers.

But Yang Zongmin has already become the general manager of Yongxing Army Road, and Yang Zhen has become the Jianning Village of Zhilin Prefecture. The key is that both of them are loyal people, and the more important thing is that Li Yan wants to accept Yang Yizhong, who is more loyal and brave. Therefore, Li Yan boldly used Yang Zongmin, Yang Zhen and his son to form a new army.

Yang Zongmin and Yang Zhen's father and son never dreamed that Li Yan would let them form an army, and it was an army of five thousand!
Father and son Yang Zongmin and Yang Zhen burst into tears of gratitude, and said in unison: "The young general takes orders!"

Although Hu Quan's family is a scholarly family, no one has been an official for several generations, and the family has become a farming-study family, which means that his family's conditions are not very good, so people from the court approached him to talk to Anton. The Hufu can be an official right away, so he came after thinking about it for a while.

Although Hu Quan, Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang were listed among the four famous ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was also known as "the man with the hardest neck", Hu Quan is still only one of the Taixue students, and he just entered the Taixue not long ago, so It is not appropriate to vigorously promote him, so Li Yan just said hello and asked the person who assigned the Tai students to assign Hu Quan to the admonishment court, and did not do anything to encourage the growth of the seedlings.

Such a large group of talents cannot be digested in three to five days, especially the levels of these students are uneven, and their personalities are also different. Therefore, they have to be assessed and observed before they can be selected for appointment.

In addition, the current positions in Andong Hudu Mansion are basically saturated, so a group of excellent and reliable talents must be drawn out and transferred to Taiwan County, which is in short supply of talents, so that some positions can be vacated to arrange new talents.

All in all, this group of talents has to be digested slowly.

Li Yan attached great importance to this group of talents, although he did not assign them personally, he also sent Zhao Ding and Chen Kangbo to preside over the matter.

While Li Yan and others were digesting this group of talents in an orderly manner, Cai You, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot-Li Yan avoided them!
