Chapter 23 Lou Lu Enrolls in Jiananyuan Dai Ming Returns to the Innovation Army (6)

Northern Qi Dynasty Hall
"Yuan Shangshu, you have submitted seven memorials in a row in the past seven days, and each memorial has asked for more troops to the north. I have told you many times that we will discuss it after the Minister of Rites, Dai Ming, comes back. Your actions like this are to put pressure on you. With me?" In the Hall of Cultivation, since Qi Daocheng explained the plan to increase troops with Yuan Chongwen last time, although Yuan Chongwen stopped talking on the surface, his actual actions made Qi Daocheng very unhappy. Finally, seven days later, Yuan Chongwen Called into the palace again.

"Your Majesty, I have served in the army since the Emperor Taizu was here, and I know that the increase of troops cannot be completed in a short while. If Your Majesty does not confirm the matter of recruiting troops as soon as possible, I am afraid that in times of crisis, the Northern Qi Dynasty will have no way to deal with it." Yuan Chongwen Every sentence is sincere and sincere.

Just when Qi Daocheng had nothing to do with Yuan Chongwen, the eunuch walked quickly towards Qi Daocheng, bent down and whispered something in Qi Daocheng's ear, Yuan Chongwen watched Qi Daocheng's originally frowning brows gradually relax, knowing that he The matter of increasing troops should probably fail by [-]%.

"Yuan Shangshu, I will definitely give you an answer today. I heard that Dai Shangshu has returned to the imperial court and is waiting outside the palace at this moment. Why don't you announce Dai Shangshu to the palace immediately? Both of you are the humerus of my Northern Qi. Let's discuss together the potential crisis of Lu Bei's disaster." How about handling it?" Qi Daocheng looked at Yuan Chongwen with a smile, but found that Yuan Chongwen's complexion was normal, neither happy nor sad, he still bowed his body respectfully and obeyed his own arrangement.

"Xuan, Dai Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, sees you." Outside the Hall of Self-cultivation, an inner eunuch shouted loudly.

Hearing Xuan's order to enter the hall, Dai Ming tidied up his clothes, put a memorial in his arms, and followed the guidance of the inner eunuch, and entered the hall of self-cultivation.

"Dai Shangshu, you have worked hard all the way. Give me a seat." Qi Daocheng ordered the eunuch beside him to move a stool for Dai Ming and put it beside Yuan Chongwen. Yuan Chongwen saw the stool in front of him and took a step back.Qi Daocheng said at this moment, "Oh, look at me confused, I will also give Yuan Shangshu a seat, the two humerus will discuss with me the difficulty of Lu Bei."

After Dai and Yuan thanked the Holy Majesty, they sat respectfully on the imperial seat.Dai Ming stood up and played, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play. Seven days ago, I received the holy order and went to Tianji City alone to inquire about Lu Bei's death. It was found out that Lu Bei's death was for Man-made disaster. The black-robed monks Shi Yuanshan and Shi Yuanhai of Tianji City went to Lubei with the seven-treasure glazed lamp, and performed secret techniques, which caused the lighthouse to flash and explode. The people in the north had a little change, so Lu Beicheng used some kind of device, using the flame of the seven treasures of the Tianji City, to ignite the surrounding land, and sealed Lu Beicheng and the lost people in the flame of the magic lamp. Information, there should be no survivors in Lu Beicheng from this disaster." Dai Ming succinctly described the whole story of Lu Bei's disaster, although he spoke only a few words, it still shocked Qi Daocheng and Yuan Chongwen who were present.

"Dai Shangshu, although Tianji City is considered as the best in the world, it belongs to Nanming after all, so it's better not to trust their words." Qi Daocheng said.

"Actually, what Tianji City said was basically the same as the results reported by General Bai Xin on the site survey. After the testimony of the two forces, the result must still be the same. Lubei City has 3 people. In times of crisis, the whole people are bound to All soldiers, even so, it is still difficult to resist the invasion of the lost. Your Majesty, your minister's proposal only requires that the Fengyuan Gate Guard can be expanded to 4 people like the Mengzi City Guard Army. This is already considering the taxation of our country and the tax burden of the people to the greatest extent Your Majesty, please make a decision early." Yuan Chongwen once again mentioned the matter of recruiting troops through Dai Ming's report.

Originally, Qi Daocheng thought that what happened to Lu Bei was not so tragic, and there might even be a turning point, but who would have thought that Dai Mingji City and his party would actually accomplish the demise of Lu Bei.When Qi Daocheng was young, he experienced the struggle between his father Qi Shang and Lu Changlin, and he understood that Lu Changlin's ability to govern the country and military strategy were unmatched by his father. Now that the situation is in, Qi Daocheng firmly believes that the danger has come.

"The confirmation of Lu Bei's destruction means that the existence of the Lost Ones has been confirmed. Yuan Shangshu ordered Bai Xin, the gate guard of Fengyuan, and Shi Bingguo, the guard of Mengzi City, to recruit troops on the spot for a period of one year, increasing the number of garrison troops to 5. In addition, Let the two generals Bai Xin and Shi Bingguo bring two thousand elites back to the court based on the time of receiving the military order. I have something to explain to them in person. Dai Shangshu, I have to ask you to lead the household department for the matter of money and silver, and hurry up to raise funds "Qi Daocheng judged that the danger at this moment lies not in the interior but in the exterior, but due to the check and balance of power, the strength of the Xuanjia Army should also be increased accordingly.

"In addition, Jiananyuan is instructed to export high-quality students to the Ministry of War, Mengzi, and Fengyuan to prevent the expansion of the army from getting out of control." Qi Daocheng added.

Yuan Chongwen thought so, as the Ministry of War became stronger, His Majesty the Emperor was worried, and the need for checks and balances was within his control.Originally, Mengzi had [-] defenders, while Fengyuan had only [-]. Shi Bingguo was hereditary in the army, and Shi's army was ranked among the top three in Northern Qi. Although Fengyuan had [-] Northern Qi cavalry, the number It is difficult to gain an advantage in the field, so recruiting troops and raising funds will increase the bargaining chips between himself and Shi Bingguo, and the power of the Ministry of War will be more concentrated in his hands. His many years of planning have finally achieved substantial results.

"Your Majesty, the matter of money, silver, food and grass, I will definitely do my best. Your Majesty's plan is very good, and I should implement it as soon as possible. However, Your Majesty, although we in the Northern Qi Dynasty have the advantage of fighting within the range of the lighthouse, considering the flash explosion of the Lubei Lighthouse Regarding this matter, I believe that a new army should be formed, and this army should inherit the power of Lu Bei's scouts to go deep into the dark to investigate and fight." Dai Ming continued Qi Daocheng's words.

"That's very good, Dai Shangshu, I will leave this matter to you. Since you are far away from the lighthouse and go deep into the darkness, how can I bestow the word Liying on you?" Qi Daocheng thought, so his Xuanjia, Yuan Chongwen's iron cavalry and Deming's Li Ying formed a mutual restraint.

"I'm under the command to build the Liying Legion within one year, go deep into Lubei, and explore on the ground. I will never repeat the mistakes of General Bai Xin." Dai Ming responded, teasing Yuan Chongwen and Bai Xin, such a situation , His Majesty will naturally build up strong support for his Liying Army.

"Dai Shangshu, you can take care of the money and food for the establishment of the Liying Army yourself. I don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. It's just that you have never been involved in military matters. Do you need me to coordinate with the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army to help you?" Qi Daocheng said. Ask, put Deming in an embarrassing place. If he is unwilling, then Liying's development will inevitably be restricted. If he agrees, then Liying will become a vassal of Xuanjia, and will no longer really become the "Liying" army.

"I just have this intention. I want to borrow someone from His Majesty, Lu Qiu from the Xuanjia Army." Dai Ming said.

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, that's exactly what I mean, later you can take my tiger talisman and go to Xuanjia Qi Shaoyou to lead someone." Qi Daocheng laughed.These remarks caused an undercurrent to rage in the Hall of Cultivation, but his position gradually became clearer. Although Yuan Chongwen had obtained the result he had planned for a long time, his face was ashen as if he had swallowed a toad.
