Chapter 810 Three Let Them Make Trouble

The army only rested for three days in Qingzhang, and Li Daozong set off to Zhuojun with 10 horses.Among his [-] troops, apart from his hundreds of personal soldiers, no one is familiar with him.Of these soldiers and horses, [-] came from Xue Wanche's army, and the rest came from Xu Shiji's army.

Of the 6 soldiers from Xu Shiji's army, none of them were Li Tang's soldiers.Li Daozong's headquarters had 8 troops, all of which were assigned to Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang by Li Xian.And Xue Wanche rushed to Boling County with [-] troops, and there were no veterans he was used to under his command. Most of them were Jiangdu soldiers brought by Zhang Liang from the south.

The Southern Army and the Northern War are out of date.So Xue Wanche was worried before leaving, but Cui Qian didn't think so, instead he congratulated Xue Wanche three times.

Xue Wanche was puzzled: "You just mentioned the day before yesterday that the 10 troops dispatched by the lord to Li Daozong are all elite soldiers under the command of General Xu. A small half of them are the northern soldiers who are used to fighting under my command, and most of them are The Yan Yun Army under General Xu's command are all elites in all battles. The reason for this assignment is that the lord is still not at ease with Li Daozong... But the lord gave me [-] southern soldiers, and most of them were recruits. Don't trust me? You came to congratulate me instead, why can't I see where the joy lies?"

Cui Qian smiled and said: "The general has a clear mind, but he didn't see it for a while. My lord's move...has a lot of meaning."

"Appreciate further details"

Xue Wanche solemnly clasped his fists and asked for advice: "Obviously you gave Li Daozong all the soldiers who are good at fighting, and you assigned the recruits to me. Why do you say that you don't trust Li Daozong, but you treat me differently?"

Cui Qian smiled and said: "General, this matter is actually extremely simple. It's just that the general has a worry in his heart, so he can't see it clearly... Think about it, general, why the lord sent [-] soldiers who are good at fighting to Li Daozong, and Most of them are the elite of Yanyun Army? Because these soldiers are loyal to the lord. They are all veterans from Yanyun Village in Dongping County. Their loyalty to the lord is extremely difficult to shake. Even if these soldiers are handed over to Li Daozong, they can If Li Daozong really has the heart of disobedience, can he command the action?"

"On the contrary, if Li Daozong really has any strange thoughts, I am afraid that those generals from the Yanyun Army will immediately lead troops against him! These veterans are good at fighting, but the general should also understand that it is difficult to let them oppose the lord. It's like ascending to the sky."

Cui Qian patiently explained: "The lord assigns you all recruits, it seems like you are treating the general unfairly. General, you are extremely trustworthy. The general has led troops all year round, so he naturally understands a truth... Although the recruits are not as powerful as the veterans, if the general trains them personally, it won't take long for them to be loyal to you. "

"The recruits are given to you, and they are your deployment. After a few battles, these soldiers will be imprinted with your mark, the general. My lord, this is a personal soldier for you, my lord. Don’t you understand the general’s trust?”

"Ha ha!"

After hearing this, Xue Wanche couldn't help laughing out loud: "Listening to Jun's words, it's like seeing the bright moon through the dark clouds. It's thorough and bright! If it wasn't for you to enlighten me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to figure this out."

Cui Qian waved his hands and said with a smile: "If you can't figure out this level, the general, how can the lord give you the troops with confidence?"

Xue Wanche laughed out loud, his face relieved.

Within two days, the troops dispatched by Li Xian set off one after another, one to the northwest and the other to the northeast. The six 10,000+ troops were divided into nearly 20, and even the camp seemed a little empty.After these two teams set off, the remaining nearly 45 people will soon march westward, aiming at the last important town in Hebei...Mingzhou City.

Before the army set off, Li Xian specially sent someone to call Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng to discuss military affairs and state affairs.Not daring to delay, the two rushed over in a hurry.Li Xian ordered all the attendants in the big tent to leave, leaving only him, Xu Shiji, and Xie Yingdeng in the tent.

When Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng saw that the lord had summoned them, they immediately understood what the lord meant.Now that matter, only the Lord and the three of them know about it in the army.

"sit"

Li Xian waved his hand, pointed to the two plates of dim sum on the table and said: "This is the apricot yellow cake made by Jiaer herself, and it just goes with the japonica rice porridge. I hurriedly called the two of you here. The two of you didn't eat breakfast either. You two have good food, although this apricot yellow cake is not something expensive, but you two can't always eat it. "

There were also two bowls of steaming steamed japonica rice porridge on the table, obviously he ordered someone to prepare it specially.

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng thanked them and sat down beside Li Xian.In addition to two plates of dim sum, there are also several exquisite side dishes on the table, but the dishes are not very large.Both of them know that the protagonist is frugal, and what he dislikes the most is extravagance.

"Military affairs, which should be arranged, have already been arranged in Gudu. You are all here to discuss these few days, so we won't mention it."

Li Xian took a bite of the side dish and ate it with the japonica rice porridge.While eating, he said: "Although Mingzhou City is strong, it is still not as good as Luoyang Chang'an. No matter how scheming Wang Pao is, he may not be as good as those green forest tycoons back then. Take it seriously, but you can't be too cautious. Too careful , you will lose your spirit.”

"That's what the lord said."

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng nodded, and they were a little cautious about eating.

"eat first!"

Li Xian saw that both of them were very restrained, so he smiled and said, "The day of grabbing meat from a pot was just yesterday, why are you so restrained now. Forget it, let's discuss after eating."

The two nodded quickly, but they couldn't act as eclectic as before.Then was then, now is now.The army's pacification of Hebei is just around the corner. After returning to Chang'an, King Yan's promotion to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor is already an irreversible trend.If you act recklessly as in the past, you will lose the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.

……

……

"Is the porridge delicious?"

Li Xian put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked with a smile.

"Qing Yuan and Huang Luan got up to cook this early in the morning before dawn. Don't be flattering. Speaking of which, their cooking skills are far worse than their martial arts skills, but it's rare It's a thought."

"that……"

Xu Shiji also put down the bowls and chopsticks, smiled shyly and said, "It's a bit muddy."

"Ha ha!"

Li Xian smiled and said: "But Gu eats it, but it is extraordinarily sweet. Gu said that you do things... no matter whether you do things well or not, as long as you do your best, Gu will be satisfied."

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust!"

Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Li Xian waved his hands and said, "Sit down, and there is no one else around, just you and me. It's still the same as before, and it's comfortable to speak openly. Since I've got you two here, you are all very smart." , Thinking about it, I know why, let me tell you what you think."

He pointed to the chair beside him and motioned for the two of them to sit down.He casually took a book out of the shelf, and flipped it over where it was folded last night.

"Master... the matter in Chang'an City should be done sooner rather than later. Although there are only faint signs, if that person really has this intention, it is hard to guarantee that he will not do something nasty. Although it is insignificant, but the Lord knows that he is also in his heart." It will feel disgusting. Since the people in the Military Inspection Office have already noticed the signs, it is better to make plans early."

Xu Shiji leaned over and said softly.

He glanced at Xie Yingdeng, and Xie Yingdeng immediately nodded and said, "I also mean the same thing. Although there won't be any big storms, it's still an eyesore after all."

"Let's not talk about this."

Li Xian said casually, "Among the few people left behind in Chang'an City, Fang Xuanling has been transferred to Zhuo County in a hurry. What do you think of the remaining few who are in charge?"

Both Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng felt tense, wondering if there was any hidden meaning in Li Xian's words.Now in charge of Chang'an City, the head of the civil servants is Du Ruhui, who is also a veteran of the Yanyun army, and as the prime minister, he is already extremely honored and favored, so it is expected that he will never collude with those Xiao Xiaoxiao.Cheng Mingzhen, the general who led the troops to guard Chang'an City, was cautious and careful, and judging from the past, he also adhered to the way of being a minister, so nothing should happen to him.

As for the others...

Xie Yingdeng is the head of the Military Audit Department, so he was the first to speak about this matter: "Regarding this matter, Du Ruhui's memorial and the military inspection office's secret report arrived within a few days, and the note was jointly signed by him and Cheng Mingzhen. Yes, so Master Du and General Cheng are naturally trustworthy."

"I don't know, let's talk about others."

"The imperial envoy, Wei Zheng, is upright and upright, so nothing will happen."

Xu Shiji said.

"Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, and Tang Jian are all old ministers of Li and Tang. No one knows better than them what can be touched and what can't be touched. They are already worried in their hearts, and they are afraid that it is too late to hide from this situation. There will be no disobedience. It’s just that if there are rebels plotting rebellion, they will visit them secretly. After all, in Chang’an City, the influence of the few of them is still great.”

Xie Yingdeng analyzed.

"Um……"

Li Xian hummed and asked again: "The one in the palace, what do you think?"

"This……"

Xie Yingdeng and Xu Shiji looked at each other, but they couldn't speak.

"But it's okay to say it. I said it alone. There are no outsiders here today, so what are you worried about?"

Both Xu Shiji and Xie Yingdeng took a deep breath involuntarily, then stood up almost at the same time, lifted their robes and knelt down: "My lord, the one in the palace cannot be kept!"

"Can't stay?"

Li Xian looked away from the book and looked at the two of them.

"Can't stay!"

Xu Shiji said solemnly: "If there is no such person, I'm afraid those little people in the court would not dare to rebel easily. Even if some of them are unwilling, how dare they touch the bottom line so easily? When that person is around, they feel that they have a chance to become a superior minister. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the lord is not in Chang'an, they change court power, disobey and disrespect, speaking of it... that person in the palace is the root of disaster."

Xie Yingdeng's words were simpler and more direct: "I needed him back then, but now... I don't need him anymore."

……

……

In the big tent, Li Xian leaned on a chair covered with a tiger skin.He bowed his head slightly, looking very focused.Beside the table not far from him, sat a graceful woman in a white dress.She knelt and sat on the side of the table, with a tall and straight figure, which made her waist more slender and her chest proud.

She is making tea, and her pose is extremely beautiful.Her movements are gentle and soothing, not to mention smelling the fragrance of tea, tasting the charm of tea, just looking at her graceful body shape and technique is also refreshing.

"It's so beautiful to make tea... No one can match you except Ye Huaixiu."

Li Xian put down the booklet in his hand, then smiled at the teacup handed over by his elder grandson Wugou: "I heard that your brother hasn't eaten well or slept well these two days, but is it true?"

The eldest grandson Wugou pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Yes...seeing that the whole person is quite haggard. This time he can be regarded as offending all the generals in the army. When the world is settled...I'm afraid There will be more scolding him."

Li Xian twitched his lips, put down his teacup and asked, "Changsun Wuji mentioned this to you?"

"No...the concubine made random guesses."

"You are wise, stronger than most of the courtiers in the court. So I ask you alone... If there are people in Chang'an who are ready to make troubles now, and want to take advantage of the time when they are alone and away from the capital, something will happen, and they have already sat down. If some of them have been convicted, how should we deal with it?"

"Courts and concubines dare not discuss politics."

The eldest grandson Wugou bowed his head and said.

"Tell me, I just want to know how your opinion is different from Xu Shiji, Xie Yingdeng and the others."

The eldest grandson Wugou pondered for a while and said: "Thinking about it... Both General Xu and Chief Xie advised my lord that it should be sooner rather than later... From the point of view of being a courtier, it should be so. The capital city is the most important thing. The most important thing is that it is better not to mess up if it is possible to avoid chaos... But, if you look at it from your point of view, maybe it would be better to wait."

Li Xian frowned slightly, and couldn't help sighing: "If you were a man, you could be worshiped as prime minister. Du Ruhui is decisive, but not as meticulous as you. Fang Xuanling is resourceful, but not as courageous as you, Mrs. Wei Zheng To be honest, Yu Shinan is too soft...you explain the mystery in one word, and they are not as good as you."

"yes……"

Li Xian sighed slightly, looking at Tingting's warm voice in the cup, he was a little helpless and tired and said: "We must let those who want to rebel, we must let those who have that kind of thought jump out, and then we can treat this problem." Chaozi, I don’t want to kill anyone... so if you can kill it once, don’t kill it a second time.”

"Let them make trouble."

The eldest grandson Wugou hummed, and said softly: "If you don't let them make a fuss, how can you show the power of the lord?"
