(Nowadays, every single chapter needs to be 500 words or more, so I can’t tell you the news of the postponed update in advance. I’m sorry, the late chapter will be updated in the evening as before.︾)
After seeing off Wei Jie, Li Jing returned to the east chamber with a sullen face.
Boil the beans and burn the pods, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They are originally from the same root, so why fry each other in a hurry?
In the past, many stories could be said to have happened for a reason. The brothers had turned against each other and had no contact with each other until they died. Now, he lives in a small place, has no official position, and refuses guests behind closed doors. He has become so lonely and desolate.
Even if we are outsiders, how can we bear to force each other?
Unexpectedly, the brothers were still chasing each other fiercely. Was he willing to stop until his younger brother was killed?
This is not an exaggeration at all. Now he is guilty and has no friends to rely on. A little disturbance can cause his family to suffer disaster.
Now if he was involved in such a big event, maybe just a few words from others could destroy his family.
By this time, he regretted returning to the capital.
There are so many ferocious beasts in the capital, and their claws and claws are fighting with each other. I don’t know when they will hurt innocent people.
When you are outside, no matter who you offend, you still have the strength to fight. Unlike now, when you are sitting in the city of sorrow, you can't do anything.
At this time, Li Jing could already smell the smell of blood coming towards his face.
Because the person in charge of Chang'an is Wei Xuan, the Minister of Punishment.
Back in the study, Li Jing thought for a long time and wrote a letter.
In fact, until the oil seal was sealed, he was still hesitating whether to send this letter...
…………………………
At the end of Daye's twelfth year, Yunnei's life was quite lively.
There is no rebellion here. There are no hungry people. In today's world, it does feel like a paradise.
The races in Yunnei are very mixed, and the customs and habits are also different, but everyone has to celebrate the New Year. There are very few pedestrians on the street, and you can't hear any firecrackers, not to mention the lanterns and colorful decorations.
But in the evening, there is a faint smoke from cooking fires everywhere in the city, and faint laughter and laughter can be heard, instantly making this lonely city in the north come alive.
On this day, the busiest place was not any other place, but the brothel Chuguan in the city.
Most of those generals and soldiers who have nowhere to go will choose to come here to find someone to spend the New Year holiday with them. Even if they are strangers, after a night of fun, they can relieve their homesickness after being away from home.
There are not many people in Li Po's family, but there are not many people celebrating the New Year together.
The Mayitong Shoufu seems to have some appearance, but if it is to be built according to Li Po's plan, construction will have to start next spring.
So, that night, the rest of the mansion was dark, only the inner house was brightly lit, and a group of homeless people gathered together with him to have a banquet. They all planned to stay here and watch the New Year together.
Already.
Li Po is in a good mood. He now has a family and loyal subordinates. Generally speaking, the harvest in the twelfth year of Daye is very good.
In fact, if you think about it, since I came to the frontier fortress of Sui Dynasty in the sixth year of Daye, I have gone through ups and downs, and it can be said that I have climbed up one step at a time.
It is said that during the festive season, we miss our loved ones even more.
He is different from others in that he has no distant relatives to miss. Now that his relatives are all by his side, he will not look for emotional sustenance in those who have passed away.
The dead are gone, the living need to be cherished, that's all.
He just toasted a glass of wine to the north and asked a few veteran soldiers to wait patiently for him a little longer. He is living quite well now, has a girl by his side, and is married to a wife.
If you worry too much, this life will be much more precious, and you don’t want to die young.
That night, he went ahead and drank a lot of wine with a group of troubled duckweeds. Then he left these guys and returned to the inner house, where he plunged into a group of women and played pot throwing.
As a result, Li Chun spent a cheerful night and won a great victory in the game. After he was drunk and dizzy, he took a nap against his brother for a long time.
Although the red-eyed girl is tall and big, she has good skills and a good drinker. She finally succeeded in drinking too much of Li Po. She satisfactorily occupied the other side of Li Po and pushed Li Bi to the ground. She could only lie on her pillow.
Li Po's thigh fell asleep.
That night, Master Tongshou of Mayi leaned against the red tree and nestled in the green, his nose was full of fragrant fragrance, and he lived a very happy life.
Early in the morning, Li Po woke up from a suffocating nightmare. Li Bi had climbed on top of him, and his front was wet with saliva.
One to the left and one to the right, the two of them were leaning against each other. This nightmare was truly unfair.
Gently freeing himself from the entanglement of his limbs, Li Po was sweating again. Such a fragrant blessing is undoubtedly a very severe test for men.
Li Po withstood the test, wrapped himself up, put on a thick cloak, and went out to blow the cold wind for a long time, and the morning excitement subsided.
Because he still has things to do on this day, and it is not his turn to immerse himself in the land of tenderness.
He went to the front, woke up a group of drunken people and led them to various military camps.
Yes, he has to patrol the camp on the first day of the new year.
All the military camps were empty, with few people inside, because Li Po very humanely gave him five days off, and except for the soldiers and generals on duty, all the others were missing.
As the general of a town, Li Po was actually very competent. When he had to work hard, he was never lazy. He also worked hard to control the generals.
Strict military discipline is only the first step; the second step is to assign a new level to the army.
Soldiers must not be treated equally, and Li Po knew this very well.
The most elite military needs to treat them better and give them the greatest support, rewards, and even honors in order to unleash their greatest power.
If everyone looked the same, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.
Waiting for the third step, it is natural to expand the army, which requires a large amount of food, grass and ordnance as support. In Li Po's estimation, there are 30,000 such troops in hand. In the field, no one can stop them. The Turks
Neither can humans.
In other words, with a force of 30,000 elite soldiers, it was not impossible that he would dare to take them to the grasslands to plunder and snatch Dingxiang County back from the Turks.
If there are 100,000 people, obediently, then whoever wants to be emperor will have to ask him whether he agrees or not.
Such a goal is too ambitious and not suitable for fantasy now.
On the first day of the thirteenth year of Daye, Li Po led people around to see whether the generals who were on duty were loyal to their duties and whether they dared to drink and have fun in the military camp when they were on duty.
He also wanted to see if any of the soldiers garrisoned on the walls were slacking off.
This is part of the strict military discipline. It requires years of hard work. All officers and soldiers need to understand that the military discipline of the Heng'an Town Army is not a joke, nor does it only take effect during war. It must be remembered at all times.
In my heart.
The prerequisite for a well-functioning army is strict military discipline, which applies to all armies.
He actually caught a battalion captain secretly drinking. Li Po was "furious", but he didn't whip him down like other generals and beat him half to death first.
Instead, he was told to go to the Chinese military judge to receive his punishment on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Military discipline is not an abuse of lynching. It must form a fixed procedure so that the military discipline set can be implemented and observed to the greatest extent.
What Li Po wanted to do was to keep the military discipline there coldly and integrate it into all military actions without changing it at all due to anyone's anger, pity and other emotions.
Afterwards, Li Po had a serious face and looked like he should stay away from strangers, showing that he was very angry.
In fact, I was thinking, luckily, this bastard didn't find a woman, otherwise, this guy would have been the first guy whose head was chopped off by his own people since he took charge of the army.
Li Po originally didn't have any taboos about killing people to establish his authority, but when he first saw the Sui army's military regulations, he was shocked. Then he followed him to Liaodong and saw too many heads on poles along the way.
This made him very disgusted with the strict military discipline of the Sui army.
Of course, when it came to investigating, I was still worried that I would be beheaded for no reason, and I didn't know that the fear of breaking that military law was at work.
Yes, what he disliked most was not the strict military discipline of the Sui army, but the casualness of the generals. They said who would beheaded with just one sentence.
They will chop off your head when necessary to shock others, and when not necessary, they will chop off your head to maintain their dignity or just for fun.
If you offend him, he will be beheaded. If you do something wrong, he will be beheaded. You...
Well, you can think of the generals who hold military power as smaller emperors, very, very dangerous creatures.
After stopping and walking and circling around, it was almost afternoon.
Li Po took the people directly to Bamianlou.
Nowadays, the Bamianlou has opened its doors to welcome guests again, but ordinary people cannot enter. After all, this is the place where Mayi Tongshou and Heng'an Town will stay for a while.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the business was closed. A few years ago, Li Po had already ordered a table of food here. Today he brought his people over and ate some hastily before heading back home.
This day was not only about patrolling the camp, he also had to entertain guests.
On the first day of the new year, Li's close friends in the army would come to pay New Year's greetings to the general. Since Li Po was not here, Li Bi would naturally come to receive them.
In the evening, Li Po wanted to have a banquet with the military generals and the heads of Yunnei officials to give the year a good start.
That night, in the reception hall of the mansion, the lights were brightly lit and people were noisy, which lasted until late at night.
By this time, looking at the crowd of people, Li Po had almost figured it out.
For a disciple of a well-connected family to serve under him, the advantages will undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages.
No matter what opinions or prejudices he has against the clan, if he wants to make a difference, he must gain the approval of the clan...
