"Is everyone here?"
Li Po asked, not loudly, but the hall immediately became quiet.
Xue Wanjun, who was in charge of military law, immediately stepped forward and said: "Report to the general manager, all the generals have arrived, there is no delay."
Li Po was also wearing armor, and there was nothing wrong with it.
He looked around at the generals, waved his hand, and nodded to Yuchi Gong.
Yuchi Gong immediately beat his chest, unfolded the scroll he had prepared and started reading, followed by Bu Qun, then Wang Qing and Xue Wanjun.
After a circle, the generals whose names were read out immediately came out to receive their orders.
This is a very formal process, which for the first time demonstrates the authority of the General Manager's Mansion and the left and right guards' houses. It may not take too long for the generals to enter the guard's house to listen to orders.
Time passed very quickly, and when the voices in the lobby calmed down, Li Po's voice sounded again.
"Everyone's responsibility is clear. Which one went wrong later? I didn't ask anyone else, and I only came to talk to you. Do you understand?"
"You will eventually understand."
There was a loud roar and echoes in the hall.
This time was indeed different. Even the old men who had followed from the Heng'an Town Army and experienced battles were vaguely aware of the importance of rules for them, the leading generals, in the future.
Of course, in the future, those who do not understand the rules will be quickly eliminated.
Li Po nodded with satisfaction. The last winter was very important to everyone here, including himself.
Because just this winter, the military hierarchy of Bingdai and the two states became more clear. There was a Weifu above the generals, and he was no longer the only one who was superior.
This is undoubtedly an act of decentralization of power. After he conquered Yunzhong in the north, he quickly transferred part of the power to the Wei Mansion. Although he has a strong desire to control, under all the troubles, decentralization of power is inevitable.
OK.
The benefits are obvious. He doesn't have to do many things personally. As for the consequences of his great achievements, authoritarianism and self-absorption, Li Po doesn't care.
As long as he is here, the chance that these generals he single-handedly promoted will cause trouble is very low. As for future generations, hey, it's too early to say now. Let's talk about it when the time comes.
"You should also know that this confrontation with the Tang army south this time is different from the past. As long as the army moves this time, there will be no way out. Fighting for supremacy in the world and establishing the capital of Jiuzhou can all be followed by the ancients. Needless to say, the war
Together, those who engage in warfare can strive to be the first. I will not hesitate to reward you with official titles. If you surrender to the enemy without fighting, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will first kill his family, then capture his people and kill them to serve as a warning to others."
At this point, Li Po laughed. He was not afraid to say ugly things in front of others.
So many people are pushing him forward. Well, I have moved my steps and there is no way out. You also have no way out. If you want to surrender to the enemy, think about your family's descendants first.
I don't have that much tolerance, and I still want to treat my traitorous relatives kindly.
The generals listened silently, and most of them had passion surging in their hearts. Fighting for supremacy in the world, and ruling the Nine Provinces was the voice they most wanted to hear, and it could also be said to be their ambition.
Some were worried, and most of them were surrendered by the Tang army.
Because these words were too serious and not very pleasant to hear. Compared with the tolerant Tang Gong, this one showed fierceness and viciousness first, and seemed to be a step behind in terms of mind and tolerance.
After giving a faint kick, Li Po then changed the topic and said: "Let me talk about rewards and punishments first, so that the soldiers can feel at ease and know what to do and what not to do."
"The purpose of this battle is actually very simple. Jiexiu is the gateway to Jinyang. If we go south to Hedong, we must capture Jiexiu first."
"But you must know that what I want is not empty cities or barren land. Therefore, when you lead troops to fight, you must remember to obey my general's orders and do less massacres. If you kill innocent people indiscriminately without my general's orders, you must follow the military law."
Disposal."
"As for the large army going into battle, there is no need to worry too much. Those who hold weapons will be killed, those who dare to resist will be killed, and those who lie on the ground asking for surrender will be tied up. How much you can accomplish depends on your own abilities."
Having said this, Li Po patted the table and finally stood up and said with a smile: "Don't say that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. There are not many Tang troops in Jiexiu. They gathered in the small town of Jiexiu and tried to stop me during the battle."
The power of the army, I am attacking it with the force of thunder, if it returns without success, wouldn't it be a joke?"
All the generals in the hall showed smiles. There is an army of nearly 100,000 people. Let’s not talk about how powerful the infantry is. Let’s just say that the Daizhou Iron Cavalry has never lost a battle since the formation of the Heng’an Town Army.
If the Tang army had not relied on the city of Jiexiu, if 30,000 cavalry had swarmed up during the field battle, it would have been enough to kill them, leaving corpses all over the field, and they could have fled.
The so-called arrogant soldiers will definitely be defeated, but they are indeed of no use. The Daizhou Iron Cavalry, which comes and goes like the wind, has proven their combat prowess with the blood of countless Turks.
They are the most powerful military force in the world, and there is no room for the word "one" in their minds.
"In order to stimulate the army to move forward, whoever enters Jiexiu first will be heavily rewarded. I will leave a place for him outside the left and right guards' houses, and we will see who can come and take it."
For a moment, all the generals were shocked. The cavalry generals bared their teeth and were a little disappointed, but the infantry generals were all excited.
This is simply a meal placed in front of them. In the battle of siege, the infantry will naturally take the lead. The first to enter the city must be the infantry general.
Of course, if the generals of the Tang army were too stupid and went out of the city to fight with the army, that would be a different story.
Li Po cut off a big pie that had been prepared, laughed, raised his hand and waved vigorously, "We'll stop here today, rest for a day tomorrow, and the whole army will break camp the day after tomorrow."
For a moment, the sound of gold and iron resounded loudly in the hall, and all the generals hammered their chests in salute and exited the hall one after another.
Li Po breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go south to fight for territory with others. Jiexiu was just the beginning, there were countless Jiexiu waiting for him.
At this time, he was even thinking that it would be great if there was an enemy country in the south. After a few years of harassment with cavalry, even an iron man could drag it into mud, so he wouldn't have to work so hard.
It's a pity that the south is the Central Plains. Although my family's place has been beaten and there is not much left, the place is still there. Everyone is fighting for the dominant position. Anyone who takes a step back will be beaten to a bloody head.
In the end, he will be kicked out.
If someone in the family takes action, that's called cruelty.
Afterwards, Li Po put on his armor and went to the back house. No one came to look for him now. The generals were preparing for war, and the affairs of the two states were almost arranged. Spring plowing was approaching, and there were some disputes over the distribution of land.
, it’s not a big deal, there are countless cattle in Daizhou.
If God is kind to us this year and the weather is smooth, and most people have settled down, the output of grain, cattle and sheep will be very gratifying after autumn.
If God wanted to play a joke and bring about a severe drought, hailstorm, heavy wind or rain, etc., we would have to work harder this year to steal the Tang army's food and fodder to make up for our losses.
Of course, if Yu Wenxin, who was on an envoy to the Turks, could work harder, he might be able to return to Daizhou with a large number of cattle, sheep and slaves at the turn of spring and summer, and then there would be nothing to fear.
I don’t know if Her Royal Highness Princess Yi Cheng is so generous. If it were him, hehe, then let alone the slaves, cattle and sheep, he should stab him first.
Well, at this point, he still hopes that there won't be any natural disasters in the north and south.
After thinking about it, my thoughts returned to the current war.
In fact, as he said, Jiexiu's tens of thousands of Tang troops were not in his eyes, or there might be a slight setback. However, if the Tang troops wanted to defeat the army led by him and create a classic example of defeating more with less, then
It's like seeing a ghost.
His logistics and baggage were protected by a large army, and there were 30,000 cavalry on the side. If the Tang army wanted to go out of the city to fight, it would be courting death.
What he was actually thinking about was what to do after Jiexiu came. Should he concentrate his army and continue to move south, or should he divide his forces to attack Shangdang and take southern Shanxi as his own as quickly as possible?
And to conquer Jin, where should we send our troops?
Is the next enemy Dou Jiande from Hebei or the two evil wolves from Henan? Or rather, Chang'an
I think too much and naturally feel a little upset.
The sentence "Strive for supremacy in the world and dominate the Kyushu" sounds easy to say and sounds exciting, but if you really want to do it, it will be complicated and confusing, and it seems that you can't sort it out.
Moreover, the current military and political affairs are already so disturbing. If he wants to be king and hegemon, will he have to think about these messy things when he sleeps?
Unknowingly, Li Po had arrived outside the east garden of the General Manager's Mansion. The smell of water coming from him was the smell of the melting water in the large pond in the garden. It could also be said to be the breath of spring.
It wasn't that refreshing, but it lifted Li Po's spirits.
Li Po stopped and turned around to signal the guards to come forward, remove his armor and take off his helmet.
He rubbed his face again before walking in happily.
In the distance, a pool of spring water was rippling, and several figures were leaning against the railings of the corridor. Not far away, a group of maids and servants were waiting, and there was a faint sound of clear laughter.
A relaxing and comfortable picture unfolded in front of Li Po's eyes, flowing into his heart like a clear spring. His worries were relieved, his mind was clear, and even his breathing seemed to become freer.
Li Bi, who was shy with her bulging belly, smiled and waved here. She didn't listen to the corner, but brought the women in the house to play here. Obviously she didn't want Li Po to worry about anything before he waved his army south.
.
His kindness and understanding made Li Po feel warm in his heart without having to say it out loud.
The servants and women were bowing, and Li Chun threw down his fishing rod and rushed over. Li Po blinked his eyes and said to himself, fishing here, you can't imagine it, it's such a terrible sight.
On the way, Li Chun was hugged by Hong Yanzhu'er, and the two of them immediately became entangled with each other, giggling and giggling.
