The court meeting convened by Zu Jue ended successfully.
Zu Jue stood on top with a smile. Wei Shou, Lu Sidao and others stepped forward and surrounded him.
If a platform can be set up, these veterans will undoubtedly be the most comfortable.
Wei Shou stood beside Zu Jue with a smile, "Zu Gong's idea is really wonderful, wonderful!"
"Hahaha, the frontier officials collectively submitted a letter. It means that if General Wei is not forcing the palace, the temple will not dare to refuse. And if someone is to be appointed, who will dare to take the post??"
"Unless Gao Jun is sent here, but if Gao Jun can come, then we will admit it! If Gao Jun comes to this office, it's hard to say who is real and who is fake in the two ministerial offices!"
Wei Shou was quite young and had a great reputation. In General Wei's mansion, everyone who saw him had to call him Duke Wei.
He offended many forces in Yecheng and became a white man. When he came to General Wei's mansion, he failed to take up his post again. The main reason was that there was no suitable position for him and his qualifications were too high to be given to a junior official. A senior official could not afford it.
If there is a Xingtai, even if he is given the title of Shangshu, he will recognize it. He only needs the name of Shangshu and the real power is given to the left and right ministers, and he will not get involved.
Lu Sidao had the same idea.
Zu Jue looked at Wei Shou. Although this man tended to follow others' influence, he still had some talents.
He contributed a lot to the new subject this time.
However, Zu Jue still did not forget to remind him. Zu Jue said slowly: "Wei Gong, once this matter is completed, you will be reinstated to your post immediately. Perhaps your achievements in the future will be greater than before."
"However, you must remember that among the people who came to Wuchuan from Yecheng, you are the only ones left now, so you don't dare to violate the law."
Wei Shou nodded in agreement.
Zu Jue laughed and left. Lu Sidao waited for him to go away, and then let out a long sigh.
"Oh, I hope it can happen. Although I have a salary, I don't have an official position. It's not fun to just stay here in the general's mansion."
He looked helplessly at Wei Shou and said quietly: "You shouldn't have advised me in the first place."
Lu Sidao's heart had already begun to waver when Liu Taozi held his first court meeting.
He wanted to escape at that time, but Wei Shou pushed him once so that he did not dare to speak.
Even now, the situation has not improved much, and various bans are quite unfriendly to these celebrities.
Among the many people who came with us at the beginning, two were even executed for robbing civilian girls. Some of the remaining people were caught after running away, while others were caught for various minor problems. In short, they were able to survive
They are the only ones left now.
Lu Sidao felt very regretful at this moment, but did not dare to escape.
Looking at the other party's eyes, Wei Shou was very unhappy.
"I thought you had understood it, but I never thought that you are still stubborn about it. Are you still blaming me?"
Wei Shou snorted coldly, "General Wei will do great things sooner or later. Even if he fails to achieve the last step, this land in Hebei must be owned by him. Fan Yanglu, come on, do you think your people are not like the others?"
How can a wealthy family survive after being driven out and punished equally?"
Lu Sidao was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little stunned.
"Do you think it's because your clan has less evidence of guilt than others?"
"I still think you did too good a job and General Wei's office couldn't find out??"
Wei Shou scolded: "Isn't it just because you are in General Wei's mansion and have done some meritorious service, so I gave you some favor and didn't kill them all?"
"You guys still dare to blame me now?"
"If you feel that such a life is boring, write a letter to General Wei tomorrow, saying that you are seriously ill and unable to work, and that you need to go home to recuperate. I want to see what Fan Yanglu can become in the future."
At this moment, Lu Sidao suddenly woke up.
He suddenly grabbed Wei Shou's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"It's me who is stupid! Thank you, Mr. Wei! Thank you, Mr. Wei!!"
Wei Shou looked at him displeased. At first, this guy had the idea of ​​backing off. He saw that the other person's article was well written, so he gave him a hand. He didn't wait to thank him, but he still blamed him in his heart for co-writing.
Own??
No wonder he did such a thing as leaking secrets and was thrown out of the middle school desk!
Lu Sidao's face turned red and he just kept saying thank you.
At the door, four people including Wang Xi, Xian'an, Yuan Xiubo, and Tang Yong came out one after another.
If a platform can be set up, these people will also be the beneficiaries.
But these people didn't show any obvious happiness.
Yuan Xiubo said slowly: "Zu Jue summoned us this time to prepare us for confrontation with the temple."
Yuan Xiubo, Tang Yong, and Wei Shou were different. They were not kicked out by others. They decided to leave the quagmire and really do something.
They cannot accept changes in their position as easily as Wei Shou and others.
Zu Jue's meeting is obviously to tell everyone that he will regard the temple as an enemy and will compete with them.
These people are still somewhat tangled in their hearts.
Wang Xi said softly at this moment: "With villains like Hu Changren controlling the temple, and people like Prince Zhao dying outside, I don't think there is any need to worry."
"Hu Changren is not without talent. When Emperor Xiaozhao was still there, he thought he could be promoted."
"But this man has no morals at all. When he originally opposed He Shikai, it was just because He Shikai had too much power and he was jealous. He is an ambitious and short-sighted person."
Tang Yong agreed very much with Wang Xi's statement, and he was more direct.
"The temple is beyond hope. All the people above and below are incompetent and mediocre people."
"Government decrees cannot reach the local level at all. Everything is just empty talk and only stays in the three stages."
"After the Land Equalization Order was implemented, the only place where it was enforced was Yecheng. Or because King Pengcheng kept an eye on Yecheng. This temple has long been the seat of Yecheng's administration. Once outside of Yecheng, it is nothing."
"It has long existed in name only."
Xian'an smiled bitterly, "Mr. Tang dares to say it."
"Is there anything I dare not say? When I was in Yecheng, I tried three methods but failed to deal with a group of traitors who were selling arsenals. That's when I knew it."
"I admit that you are calling me a traitor. The temple has ceased to function a long time ago, not when Hu Changren was there, but even earlier. I think it would have ceased to function when Yang Xiang was killed."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xi subconsciously retorted: "This was not the case during the time of Emperor Xiaozhao."
Tang Yong did not argue with him, "Anyway, that's the way it is now. No matter when it started, it can't be saved. Let's quickly submit a letter and set up a platform. We also need to do more practical things. This year is good, it should be a good harvest year.
Next year, let’s see if we can bring in the other states. The land in Hebei should be owned by the generals. Jizhou and Dingzhou. What a wonderful place. However, the governance is so messy that some villains are sent to serve as local governors."
The rest of the people didn't dare to speak.
They just walked out of the official office.
There was also a group of people walking towards Beitai at this moment.
Cui Gang, Chu Jiande, Tian Zili and others gathered around Lu Qubing and were also discussing the matter intensely.
"Are you a little too hasty?"
Cui Gang was a little worried, "My brother is away fighting, and important matters are left to Zu Jue. Zu Jue is impatient. I'm afraid that he didn't discuss these matters with his brother and made his own decisions!"
"We can't quarrel with the temple just yet. Not to mention that most of our food supplies depend on Lou Rui and others. There are still many clans under our rule. If we quarrel with each other, how will they deal with themselves??"
"If nothing else, Prince Lanling, what should he do here?"
Lu Qubing gently stroked his chin, "It's a matter of time. Sooner or later, we and the temple will be at odds with each other, and there will even be a war. It's impossible for King Lanling not to know about it."
"If you are worried about these things, then there is no need to continue with the big event."
"If there really comes a day when we meet King Lanling and others with military force, I will have no choice but to fight him for important matters."
He raised his head with firm eyes, "The world has become corrupted to this extent. General Wei has created a great cause and saved the people. No matter who he is against, no matter who blocks the road, he cannot retreat and fight to the end!"
Chu Jiande let out a long sigh, "King Lanling has always attached great importance to Da Qi. I'm afraid he will be particularly entangled this time. I really don't want to be his enemy."
"It's not just King Lanling, there are many people in the court, including Lou Rui. If we really want to start a war with the temple, I'm afraid they will all come forward."
Tian Zili said: "But as Lu Gong said, we can't hesitate now. Even if we are against everyone, we must continue to advance on important matters. We can't hesitate."
Everyone has already made their thoughts clear at this moment.
Change the dynasty and establish a new heaven.
Needless to say, this is the consensus among everyone.
They felt both anticipation and fear. This fear was not due to lack of confidence in themselves, but because they did not want to experience some painful battles.
The atmosphere became a little serious, and Chu Jiande interrupted the atmosphere, "Why hasn't my lord come back yet? Could it be that he still wants to occupy Lingzhou?" Shiya Mountain City.
Liu Taozi was wearing armor and standing on the tower, looking at Zhou Jun in the distance.
Support from the Zhou people arrived belatedly. They were unwilling to let Liu Taozi go, and they did not dare to attack, so they kept running back and forth around them. It seemed that they wanted to capture Liu Taozi's grain transport convoy, and they seemed to want to give Chang'an
People look at how hard they work.
Liu Taozi, however, did not take these reinforcements seriously.
They don't dare to fight with themselves directly.
The people of Zhou are now preparing for the great battle after the Autumn Period. They don't dare to attack after Yongfeng is captured, let alone it's just a stone cliff?
Their current actions are more like they are doing it for Chang'an to see.
Pretending.
Many generals stood on the left and right of Liu Taozi, looking at the Zhou army in the distance. Some of the generals were surrendered Zhou people. Seeing their own army, they had mixed feelings for a while.
Potara chuckled and said, "Brother, it's disgusting that these people are wandering around like this. Why don't you let me go out and beat them once!"
"It's not necessary, just let them wander."
Liu Taozi said calmly.
"I don't know what they are shaking."
"They are afraid that the general will rob the food line"
"What?"
Podoro turned his head and looked at Shi Jing who spoke, "What did you say?"
Shi Jing hesitated for a while, then bowed to Liu Taozi and said: "General, everyone is transporting food to the front line, including Lianggan, and from Lianggan to Lingzhou, the road is mostly desert and there are no garrisons.
Because the town is located in the hinterland and protected by foreign troops, there are not many security measures set up."
"The Zhou Zhou people were worried that the general would attack this route, and even led troops to attack Liang and Gansu. There are not many guards in these two places now. The troops have been transferred to the front, and the local soldiers have gone to transport grain and grass. A large area
The city is empty, and if the general leads the elite cavalry and sets off with enough food and grass at this moment, he will be able to move in and out of Liangzhou freely, causing huge casualties, and finally he can take a detour from the north and return to Yongfeng."
"They are staying here because they are afraid that the general will kill Liang Gan directly."
In this era dominated by cavalry, this kind of combat method of light cavalry running long distances is also very common. The cavalry has conquered dozens of cities in a row, causing huge casualties and then retreating.
Podoro's eyes gradually became brighter as he listened to Shi Jing's words.
He asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing??"
Even Liu Taozi couldn't help but look at him a few more times at this moment, "General Shi, you said there are deserts along the road and the distance is long. Can the cavalry pass through safely?"
Shi Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Actually, this is not my idea."
"Whose idea was that?"
Shi Jing looked at the generals around him, "I met an old man a few days ago and heard that he was someone who had participated in wars in the past. When I was talking to him, he accidentally mentioned that"
"Where is the old man?"
"I don't know."
"What a pity, this old man must be a reclusive man!!"
Badara sighed.
Liu Taozi looked at Shi Jing who felt guilty again, and asked the generals to go back and prepare to leave, but she stopped Shi Jing and asked him to accompany her back to the official office.
The two of them were walking on the road one after another. Shi Jing finally couldn't bear it anymore and said quickly: "Lord, I just told a lie, please forgive me."
"I know."
"Is it your son?"
"How did the lord know??"
"I saw your son that day, it was quite extraordinary."
Shi Jing laughed bitterly and explained: "I am indeed a little smart kid. I have liked to talk about strategy and military affairs since I was a child. There are so many talented people now that I dare not speak directly."
"Long live Shi, your name is quite good."
"He was given this name because he had been in poor health since he was a child. I hope he can live a long life, and now he is in good health."
Liu Taozi nodded, "Is he still studying?"
"I don't study anymore. I practice swordsmanship and horsemanship at home on weekdays."
"Call him over. I want to talk to him about military affairs."
Shi Jing was shocked, "General, this kid of mine is not qualified to talk about military affairs with the general. He"
"It's okay, I just think this kid has talent and wants to take the first or second exam in school."
After hearing these words, Shi Jing felt a little more at ease, and he hurriedly sent someone to his home to take the little boy to the government office.
The two returned to the official office. Liu Taozi read the documents and reviewed a few copies before Shi Wansui was sent to them.
Shi Wansui was tall and quite handsome. He had a slight smile on his face and showed his fangs. Unlike a domineering young man like Gao Yanzong, he looked very polite.
"Meet the General!"
"Meet Father!!"
Shi Wansui bowed and met the two of them. Liu Taozi raised his head, looked at the little guy, and motioned for him to sit aside.
After Shi Wansui thanked him, he sat aside. He looked up at his father and blinked at him. Shi Jing's face darkened.
"Listen to your grandpa, do you think we can attack Liang Gan?"
"The general doesn't know something. My grandpa has always indulged me and allowed me to talk about important matters as I pleased. I just talk nonsense. How can I understand this matter of marching and fighting?"
Liu Taozi nodded again, and looked at Shi Jing beside him, "The teaching was good."
Shi Jing just laughed awkwardly, "It made the general laugh."
Liu Taozi then looked at him, "Then I'll indulge you once. Can you tell me if I can attack Liang Gan?"
Shi Wansui cleared his throat and imitated his usual manner, "General, I don't think it's possible now."
"Oh? Why?"
"What we can predict, Duke Sui cannot fail to predict. Maybe he has already begun to lay an ambush waiting for us. Attacking now will definitely not have any effect."
"Oh, then when do you think we can send troops?"
"When the Duke of Jin's army attacks the south, we can send troops."
"Although the Duke of Jin summoned a large army this time, he served as the commander himself. I think he will definitely lose. He doesn't know how to fight at all, and he doesn't know how to use generals. What he is best at is court affairs, but if he fights
If he proceeds with the idea of ​​​​government affairs, he will definitely fail miserably. However, he has many capable generals around him, so a defeat will not happen. However, once the Duke of Jin is defeated, the Duke of Sui will naturally not dare to win."
"Oh? Don't you dare to win? Why?"
Shi Wansui laughed, "General, why do you need to ask again? The Duke of Jin has a small belly and chicken intestines. My grandfather contradicted him a few times and was thrown into this small place. The Duke of Jin is about to be defeated. The one who fears the most is Duke Sui."
When the time comes, we can attack a little bit and expand the results more."
"You just said that the military cannot be treated as the political affairs of the DPRK, but what you are saying now is that the military should be treated as the political affairs of the DPRK?"
"General, I don't understand the political affairs of the court. I only regard the political affairs of the court as a part of the military and can be used for military purposes. However, if I treat the military purely from the perspective of the government, I think it will definitely fail."
Liu Taozi slowly looked at Shi Jing who was standing aside.
"Your son."
"He is a genius."
"If you teach with heart, you will become a great general."
Liu Taozi looked at Shi Wansui and asked, "Are you willing to stay with me?"
Shi Wansui stood up quickly, "Yes! Yes!!"
"General, I can take my father's place as a cavalry commander!! I'll be by your side!!"
ps: So he appointed Wan Sui as the marching commander and led the troops to attack them. They entered the Dragonfly River, and after freezing, they went to Xiao Bo Nong, then Da Bo Nong, and then to Nanzhong. The thieves garrisoned key points in front and back, and Wan Sui defeated them all. They marched for hundreds of people.
Here, I saw a stele commemorating Zhuge Liang's achievements, with the inscription on the back saying: After Long Live, the one who can defeat me will pass here. Long live the left and right sides of the Long Live Order, inverting the stele, and marching in. Crossing the two rivers in the west, entering the canal and river, they traveled more than a thousand miles and defeated more than thirty of them.
The tribe captured more than 20,000 men and women. The barbarians were greatly frightened and sent envoys to ask for surrender and presented a pearl with an inch diameter. So they laid stones to praise the virtues of the Sui Dynasty. Long live the envoys to play, please come to the court and issue an imperial edict.
At the end of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the Turkic Khan Datou invaded the fortress. Datou sent an envoy to ask: Who will Sui be? Hou Qi reported: Long live Shi. The Turks asked again: Is it not the Dunhuang garrison? Hou Qi said: Yes.
When Datou heard about it, he was frightened and led him away. Long Live chased him for more than a hundred miles, defeated him in a big way, killed thousands of people, and drove north into the moraine for hundreds of miles. The captives escaped and returned. - "Book of Sui Dynasty"
