Chapter 5 Jun En (Mikami) felt the hot water stains on the back of his hand, and Yang Guang felt a sour and sour feeling in his heart. Yun Dingxing was Yang Yong's father-in-law. In order to stabilize his power, Yang Guang soon brought him to power.
He had wiped out several of his brothers and gangsters. He had kept Yun Dingxing in the border army these years, just to avoid seeing each other as little as possible, so as not to feel guilty. However, people always miss family ties more and more when they are more difficult.
Even the emperor is no exception. If he hadn't driven several of his brothers to death and madness back then, and today everyone joins hands to tide over the difficulties, maybe the Great Sui Dynasty would be in a different situation!
Thinking of this, Yang Guang patted the back of Yun Dingxing's hand, sighed and said: "Old General, I often go back to Dongdu when I have time. I will always keep your mansion for you! We, the kings and ministers, have a beginning and an end!"
Turning around, he turned his attention to Li Xu, "You have to behave yourself. Our Sui frontier army has always been the most brave and good at fighting. You must not lose the reputation of the old general in the future!"
"Old minister (last general) respects the order!" Yun Dingxing and Li Xu agreed at the same time. Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and others saw that it was a foregone conclusion that Li Xu would take charge of a frontier army, and it was too late to stop them, so they had no choice but to give up.
"Fortunately, I didn't enter the court!" Pei Yun glanced at Li Xu and secretly thought that in their minds, the court is the center of the country, and the closer to the emperor, the more prominent the status. As for the border troops,
Although the generals have the right to open mansions and establish government offices, they are far away from the two capitals and cannot threaten their interests at all.
Originally, Li Xu had no grudges with these powerful officials in the court. The reason why everyone worked together to exclude him was because they all came from aristocratic families, but he came from a poor family, so he didn't like it no matter how he looked at it. It was like a koi suddenly jumped into the pond.
When Li Xu was expelled from the court as expected, many people felt at ease. Instead of continuing to hunt him, they wanted to kill him.
He seems to be getting better
"The people around Fenyang are in decline, and it is difficult to raise supplies. I think your majesty can ask General Li to lead his troops to move to Zhending and supply supplies from Lingshou, Shenze, Boling, Zhaojun and other places!" Chaosan doctor Huang Gun first said to him
Li Xu smiled and then asked Yang Guang to consider the practical difficulties of the Fenyang Army.
"I second that General Li's reputation has spread far and wide, so moving to Hebei will just deter those rebellious officials and traitors!" Taifu Qingyuan Wendu came out to agree.
Yang Guang had already considered this level just now, but he just didn't know where to place this power in his hand so that it can better utilize its bravery and combat skills. After listening to the advice of several ministers, he slowly got a good idea in his mind.
"Li Xu comes forward to listen to the order!" Yang Guang walked back to the imperial court with a smile and said loudly
"The general is here!" Xuzi strode to the center of the Golden Palace, stood upright with fists clasped, and gave Yang Guang a military salute.
"This time Yanmen defeated the thieves, Li Qing was indispensable. I named you the champion general, the general manager of the Fenyang army, and the Marquis of Boling County to open a government office and command the Fenyang army. You were also granted the title of Zhuojun and the valley.
, Hengshan, Boling, Zhao, and Xindu six counties comfort ambassadors, undertook to depose Zhi and elect county civil and military officials to suppress bandits and suppress rebellions. In times of crisis, supplies can be deducted from local money and grain!"
"Ah!" As soon as Yang Guang finished speaking, Pei Ju, the assistant minister of Huangmen, who was in charge of the government, and Yu Shiji, the assistant minister of Neishi, who was in charge of the government, took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time. Just now, they were secretly congratulating themselves on their success in preventing Li Xu from entering the court.
I didn't expect that Yang Guang would give such a big benefit to the opponent as soon as he turned around. The champion general was dismissed from the second-grade martial arts. In terms of rank alone, he was half a level higher than the general of Zuotunwei. The general manager of Fenyang Army was an actual professor.
Official, indicating that Li Xu could not only succeed Hu Benlang General Yun Dingxing's Fenyang Army, but also decide all affairs in the army by himself, and have the power to kill or kill subordinates who disobey orders. He opened a government and established a government office. This was a high-level gift given by the imperial court.
The power of a military general. A military general with this power is qualified to promote officers below the rank of captain, from the fifth-rank captain to the third-rank general. He can recommend anyone under his command. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel often only go through the formalities before granting them.
He signed a letter to appease the ambassadors of the six counties and took charge of deposing and selecting the civil and military officials of the counties. The power of the civil and military officials in the counties was comparable to that of the princes. In theory, all civil and military officials within their jurisdiction could be appointed and removed at will!
What is even more unacceptable is that there are clearly more than a dozen counties in northern Hebei, but Yang Guang just assigned the six counties near Hedong with the least banditry to Li Xu to "pacify" the Dou Jiande rebels in the Hejian and plains.
In this area, there is still a possibility of rebellion under the rule of General Hu Ben Luo Yi. Yang Guang asked Li Xu to avoid this. Even if there is a big chaos in Hejian and Jixian in the future, if Li Xu feels that the troops in his hands are not enough, he can
He sat back and ignored because his jurisdiction did not include those counties, and the courtiers could not impeach him for passively avoiding the war!
It can be said that since Yang Guang ascended the throne, no young man has ever been so favored. Even the nephews of Yu Wenshu and Lai Huer currently do not have such great power. With these powers, the Fenyang Army's station can be
Smoothly moved from the north of Hedong Road to the west of Hebei Road. With the money and food in the six counties, even if someone in the court secretly gave Li Xu a stumbling block, they could not stop the rapid development of the Fenyang Army.
The title of Marquis of Boling County is not so shocking compared with the huge real power.
"Congratulations to General Li Lang!" Qu Tutong and Yun Dingxing congratulated Li Xu at the same time before their colleagues could recover from the shock.
"Idiot, you still don't express gratitude!" Luo Shixin secretly shouted in his heart. He could see that many people were very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's decision. It was just that no one took the lead for a while, so he didn't raise any objections. The guy behind the case was so weak that his ears were soft.
Like silk, if you don't seize the time to lay the foundation, I'm afraid this benefit will be taken away in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, Li Xu has been wallowing in the officialdom. Even in Muna, he could still understand the implications of Qu Tutong and Yun Dingxing's words. He immediately bowed down deeply, accepted the order, thanked him, and asked Yang Guangshu.
He was wearing armor and could not perform a full salute, but he said that after taking over, he would live up to the court's trust, march east as soon as possible, wipe out the thieves in the six counties as soon as possible, and return peace to the court and the people.
"Don't rush to march eastward. I will patrol Hedong Road for a few days. You will lead the Fenyang Army and guard the perimeter of Yulin and Xiongwu Army. When I enter Taiyuan, you can go back to Fenyang to deal with us.
It's been a while since I met you. How did you win so many battles over the years? Take the time to talk to me. I like to hear it!" Yang Guang finally accomplished something that satisfied him.
happily added
'This boy's lucky star shines!' Yu, Pei and others regretted it, but they could not force Yang Guang to take back his life, so they had to smile and come forward. Congratulations to the court for getting another good commander, and congratulations to Li Xu for being promoted to the second-level military position. Li Xu didn't mind him either.
There was a sense of extortion in the words, and he smiled and returned the gifts to each other one by one. At the same time, he modestly expressed his lack of talents and hoped that several highly respected senior officials would not hesitate to give them advice. As for the food, grass and weapons for his troops, he did not forget to take advantage of them.
With Yang Guang present, he directly asked Lord Pei Ju, who was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.
Pei Ju could not shirk in front of Yang Guang, so he had to agree and hand over the matter to Zhao Xiaocai, Minister of the Ministry of War. Li Xu had saved Zhao Xiaocai's life outside Xingyang City that day, and the latter had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Zhao Xiaocai's participation in the government.
Pei Ju did not stop him, and immediately boldly agreed to the matter, and took the initiative to suggest that Li Xu prepare more war horses so that he could chase down the fugitive bandits on the plains.
"This time when we intercepted and killed the Turks, we captured a lot of good horses and kept them outside the city, ready to be delivered to the east capital at any time!" Li Xu thanked Zhao Xiaocai first, and then mentioned casually.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Li Lang will first deduct the portion that Fenyang Army needs, so as not to increase the cost of escorting them back and forth. After we return to the division, you can also bring some of the remaining military rations and equipment in Yanmen County."
The people on the border fortress have just suffered a disaster, and I can't bear to ask the local officials to recruit them to escort supplies!"
"Thank you Zhao Shangshu, thank you Lord Pei, thank you the emperor!" Li Xu clasped his fists and saluted in all directions. He and Li Shimin had gained a lot in the battle to intercept and kill Shibi Khan. They were thinking about how to find excuses to deduct a batch of them.
Come out and send them to Henan to relieve the urgent needs of the children of Qi County. Now that Zhao Xiaocai has given an explanation, there is no need to bother looking for excuses anymore.
Yang Guang was in high spirits, so he didn't care at all that Zhao Xiaocai opened the back door for Li Xu in front of him. Besides, the Sui soldiers were fighting outside, and most of the captured items were embezzled by the generals and soldiers. It was a common practice that only Zhang Xutuo and Li Xu were so honest and honest.
Only those who keep the war will honestly return all the spoils to the public. At this moment, he also told Li Xu a few words about the people's sentiments that he needed to understand after arriving at the place. He also told the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs to reissue the Fenyang Army's military pay as soon as possible, and then free up the army.
Time has come to commend Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and others who have been left out for nearly a morning.
Dugu Lin was already the general of the auxiliary country, so his military position could not be promoted any more. Yang Guang raised his title to one level and rewarded him with 500 pieces of silk. After returning to the Eastern Capital, he went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect it. Li Shimin had the courage to kill the enemy.
Because of his merit and appearance, Yang Guang liked him, so he was directly awarded the rank of fifth-grade Qingchao Lieutenant. He still returned to Taiyuan to assist his father, Li Yuan.
Yang Guang specially gave the two men a martial cavalry lieutenant, a fifth-grade cavalry lieutenant with a casual rank. As for the specific positions in the local army, their immediate superior Zhang Xutuo would be promoted at his discretion.
Qu Tutong had senior qualifications and was very open-minded. He was good at listening to advice before the war, and he did not steal other people's achievements after the war. Therefore, Yang Guang promoted him to the general of the army. In addition, Zhu Guo continued to command his soldiers and horses, and he was stationed in Guanlong, Hexi.
Two Fifty States were waiting to discuss the rewards for other people. Yang Guang was a little hesitant, especially for the soldiers and horses participating in guarding Yanmen. He promised in advance that after the Turks retreated, everyone alive would be awarded at least a sixth-grade officer. However, because of the Turks
The people retreated early, and the survivors of the Royal Forest Army and the Xiongwu Camp combined to have nearly 15,000 people in one place. This is a salary of 15,000 sixth-rank officials. Even the huge Sui treasury could not afford it!
