Piao Tianwen   Li Jing, who had just quelled the rebellion of the Shandong clan in Shandong, rushed back to the capital two days before New Year's Day.

Originally, after preparing for the Yuan Dynasty, he was about to go south and return to Shandong again, but unexpectedly, on the day of the Yuan Dynasty, he was first awarded the title of Duke of Wei County, and also received a true seal of 6,000 households and a 6,000 acres of Yongye Field.

Even though he was born in a noble family of Guanlong, he was superior since childhood and was moved by such heavy rewards. This time, the court only rewarded four dukes, including Mao Xi and Li Benlei, who were the elders of the Liaodong army and had always been the first civil and military officials. Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the other two, joined the Liaodong army late and were civil officials, they were extraordinary in their respects by King Chen. This time they were promoted to the left and right servants, and they were the second prime minister of the court.

He was not a member of the Yuanrong of the Liaodong Army. He joined the military general halfway and could gain unprecedented trust as soon as he entered the Liaodong Army and always led the army outside. This shows the depth of this trust.

In addition to the four Dukes of the State, the second-level Duke of the County was awarded a total of eighteen Dukes of the County. He was a Guanlong nobleman who was not a direct general of King Chen, and was able to win one of the eighteen Dukes of the County. This generous reward made him feel like he was dying for his confidant in the world.

Before the title had passed, the court issued another edict. He entered the Political Affairs Hall for the first time with the position of Minister of War and the title of Chief Secretary of the Ministry of War, and became one of the nine ministers of the court. When he was in the hall, he felt the congratulations and envious eyes of his colleagues, which made him both excited and stressed. The Liaodong Army had more civil and military officials than him. In other words, whether it was the old ministers of Chenjiazhuang in the Chenjiazhuang, the ministers who followed him all the way to fight, or the Chen queens like Changsun and Gao family, each of them was more qualified than him.

Now he has not only become one of the eighteen counties, but also one of the nine ministers.

This heavy reward was not only a small county magistrate who came from a famous noble family in the Great Sui Dynasty, but he became famous early in his youth, but in his early fifties, but he was still a small county magistrate from the fifth rank. If it weren't for the mistakes by the Luoshui River that time, perhaps he would have been a small county magistrate of Mayi until now.

After comparing the two, I felt more and more that King Chen was so grateful to him.

Li Jing's heart was rumbling. He had passed the age of knowing destiny. Although he always lamented in his early years that he had no talent, his ambitions gradually faded away. He even thought about spending his life in vain.

But I never thought that when he wanted to be content with mediocrity, his life was changing so drastically. Is this a big deal late or a happy ending? Thinking of King Chen's kindness of knowing the favor, the ambition that was buried in his heart over the years suddenly broke out and sprouted and grew rapidly. It grew into a towering tree in his heart.

He sat on the soft cushion on one side, listening to King Chen, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian and others discussing the reform of the county system. The discussion was so lively, but he couldn't even get into his mouth.

He had millions of soldiers in his xiong, but he had no strategy to govern a county.

He was asked to command millions of troops to attack the cities and the country. He was fearless, but letting him deal with these documents and political affairs made him not know how to start. He tried hard to listen to their comments, hoping to sink himself into it. Even if he made one or two suggestions, he couldn't waste his highness's attention and recommended him to the government affairs hall as prime minister.

But the harder he listened, the more he felt his thoughts drifting away. After a while, he was immersed in his military books and strategies. After a while, he was immersed in the grand war in his mind, enjoying himself. He actually took a break in the discussion at the Political Affairs Hall.

"Duke Wei County, what do you think?"

"Duke of Wei County..." Fang Xuanling looked back and wanted to ask for the opinion of Prime Minister Li Jing. After all, he was also one of the prime ministers. And although everyone called him Prime Minister Du Ruhui Ci Jing. But this is just a traditional title. In fact, there is no distinction between the nine prime ministers in the current political affairs hall. Only the ruling and pencil is the highest among the nine prime ministers. However, the ruling and pencil takes turns to take charge, every seven days.

However, when Fang Xuanling called out without responding and called again, he was surprised to find that Li Yaoshi Li Jing, who had just been promoted to Duke of Wei County and Prime Minister, was sitting there, with his eyes slightly closed, and his spirits flew thousands of miles away.

The abnormality here was soon discovered by others in the Political Affairs Hall.

Even the Neishi on the side almost couldn't help laughing out loud. In front of King Chen's Hall, in such a solemn political affairs hall, he could still be dazed and dazed. The eunuch didn't know how to admire General Li.

"General Li, the Shandong Army is urgently reporting!" Chen Kefu looked at Li Jing's trance and couldn't help but feel funny. He took a few steps forward and suddenly shouted loudly at Li Jing.

Sure enough, Fang Xuanling called Li Jing several times, but Li Jing did not respond. As soon as the Shandong Army reported urgently, the Prime Minister suddenly jumped up, "Come on."

When Li Jing discovered that he was standing in the political affairs hall at this time, with the prime ministers of the court and the regent of King Chen, he couldn't help but blush, not knowing what to do.

"The old minister is rude, please punish him!" Li Jing apologized.

Chen Kefu smiled, "What did Duke Wei think about just now? He was so obsessed with it?"

Li Jing laughed awkwardly, "Just just now, the old minister was thinking about what His Highness and the Prime Minister had discussed, but he couldn't help but think about the military tactics and wars. Please forgive me for the moment."

Chen Kefu waved his hand, "The Chief of the Wei Gong is a military matter, and he is the chief commander of the court. I am afraid that Duke Wei will be a little impatient when he asks Duke Wei to listen to these trivial political affairs. However, I want to know what the military matters that Duke Wei just sank?"

When it comes to military affairs, Li Jing immediately became energetic and his eyes were much brighter.

"The old minister just carefully considered the current strategic layout of the court in his heart and deduced the overall situation."

"What do you think of Duke Wei? But please tell me everything and say everything. Although the strategic layout of the court is also a decision made by the generals in the court after considering it for a long time, there will inevitably be some loopholes. Duke Wei is a master of military strategy, so you can't hide this professional matter."

Li Jing smiled. If it were today, Li Jing would definitely have another attitude. He knew that the entire strategic layout of the court was proposed by King Chen, and then improved by the generals of the General Staff Headquarters. This plan was to immediately seize the passes of the Taihang Mountains after entering Hebei and take over all the passages between Hebei and Hedong. Then he sent troops to assist Jiangdu, and then sent troops to open the Huaibei line in Shandong, blocking Jiangnan troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Then he sent troops to pacify the southern part of Hebei and recover the entire river.

North back, the army continued to move south and completely occupied Shandong. At the same time, another light cavalry was sent to Hedong, connecting Hedong, Longyou and other local powerful forces to jointly suppress Li Yuan in Taiyuan. While not only consuming the strength of Li Yuan and Hedong and Longyou, it also ensured that Li Yuan in Hedong could not look north. When the court occupied Hebei and Shandong, recovered its chances of rest and recuperation, and even attacked Henan at the same time. In general, the court's plan was to plan from north to south, and finally from east to west.

This plan looks average and there are no mistakes. It can even be said that this is a medium-to-high plan.

But in terms of military tactics like Li Jing, this is just a middle-level strategy. If it weren't for the current situation to be beneficial to the court, and because the court's military strength and generals were wide, no one dared to go north to attack the court first, then this plan would be a mess.

However, Li Jing had been sitting on the bench in the Sui Dynasty for decades, and in the end he was just a county magistrate. This incident touched him a lot. Sometimes, it was right to follow his boss immediately. As for whether his boss was right or wrong, this was not the most important thing. After all, although Chen Kefu's plan was a little bit bad, the strength of the Liaodong Army was there. With this powerful strategy, although the strategy was a little worse, one force could make up for it. However, in the eyes of everyone like him, it was a bit too unpredictable.

If it were before today, Chen Kefu asked him, Li Jing would never say that your plan was bad, and I could come up with better things by just thinking about it. Because this is a taboo for those who are superiors in history. How can a minister be smarter than the king? If you meet a bad king, you might get into trouble.

However, at the Yuanhui today, Chen Kefu valued him so much, was awarded the title of Duke of the County and promoted him to become a prime minister. Such a kind of kindness made him throw away all the suspicious thoughts in his heart.

He carefully sorted out the thoughts in his mind and decided to express all the thoughts in his heart. Even if he was unhappy at that time, he would have repaid His Highness Chen's kindness to him.

"Your Highness, there are Go plays in the world, which may be said to be military tactics. If you are the superior, you should stay away from the dispersed and placed them in a circumference, so you can achieve many victories and achieve the Tao. If you are the middle, you should be sure to stop each other and seek profits in order to compete for the sake of profits. Therefore, you should be suspicious of victory and defeat and determine the number of military strategies. If you are the inferior, you should guard the borders and scatter them to make a living in a small land, but it will definitely be worse."

"Your Highness, the battle between the world in the Central Plains is a chess-like situation. Go players pay attention to the pattern. Similarly, fighting for the world now is inseparable from the geographical pattern of the Central Plains. Fighting, the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people. Among them, the right place is the geographical pattern, which is crucial."

"From the perspective of war military geography, the geographical pattern of the world is like an irregular Go board. On this irregular Go board, Guanzhong, Hebei, Jianghuai and Minshu are its four corners, Hedong, Shandong, Jingxiang and Hanzhong are its four sides, and the Central Plains are its central hinterland. Although the Central Plains of China is vast, the above nine regions are mainly the above-mentioned nine regions."
