ps: Thanks to brother felixxu111 for the reward, and thanks to zho8888, Situ Pingyi, ligyotan, and game wave y2000 for the monthly pass!
Liu Shouguang was horrified, thought for a while, and comforted himself: "Has Qiancheng been filtered? In the cold area of Yingzhou outside the pass, Li Chengzhong is fighting with the Khitans again, so how can he spare the time to take care of the inside of the pass? And Kuang was recommended by King Dongping
After leaving Lulong, does he really have the courage to go against the whole Lulong and against King Dongping?"
Liu Zhiwen remained calm, just stared at Liu Shouguang without saying a word. Liu Shouguang also felt that his words could not change the situation, so he could only smile awkwardly: "Qiancheng, I know, I am the third family of a certain person, but what should I do with Li Chengzhong? What should you do with Li Chengzhong?
I know that he has some rifts with someone..."
When Li Chengzhong was still a leading soldier, the commander-in-chief once usurped his military honors. Later, he sent out an ambush to intercept and kill Li Chengzhong on the middle road. This was not a "hate", it was clearly a life-or-death feud!
But Liu Zhiwen didn't point it out, and just said: "I have thought hard for a long time, and after much deliberation, I can only test the governor's intention first. If he is willing to obey the commander-in-chief's orders, we must try our best to win over him, and even allow him to stay for a long time.
Outside the Pass, listen to the instructions but not the announcement! If he doesn't obey, use the Badu Cavalry and Jizhou Army to attack him. At the same time, make an appointment with the Khitans outside the Pass and attack from the north and south. I heard that Zhao Jing had had contact with the Khitans..."
Liu Shouguang was overjoyed. In fact, after hearing this, he vaguely expected Li Chengzhong to refuse to accept his orders. In that case, even the problems of the two Zhao clans seemed to have a solution...
"How to test?"
Liu Zhiwen took out a brochure from his sleeve, opened it and said: "Reward for merit and punishment for failure. This is the way for those in power to hold power. I have already read this brochure, but Liu Shan, the leader of the broken army, is happy to move to the Yier Army."
The commander on the right wing..."
Liu Shouguang was stunned: "Qiancheng thinks it's inappropriate? A certain person can achieve great things this time. Liu Shan is very grateful for his contribution and promoted him to be the commander of the right wing. Although the move is very large, I don't think it is so uncompensated for his contribution. What's more, a certain person
I also know that this person is an excellent strategist, and Bi Duyu has recommended him to someone many times..."
Liu Zhiwen sighed: "Isn't it true that the commander-in-chief is not afraid that what happened in Da'an Mountain will happen again in a few years?"
Liu Shouguang suddenly woke up, got up and paced back and forth in the festival hall. Liu Zhiwen was right, Liu Shanxi was able to instigate the sergeants to mutiny that night. He might do the same to himself sometime. Such a person should not be let go.
For such a key position as the right wing conductor.
"What are Qiancheng's plans?"
"Zhou Zhiyu has been imprisoned, and there is a vacancy for the military envoy in Pingzhou. Someone decided to reward him with an envoy. It is enough reward for his merits. I think he himself is willing to do it."
"Well, that's okay."
"In addition, he may be allowed to serve as the supervisor of the army..."
Liu Shouguang frowned: "The Yingzhou Dudufu is different from the Governor's Prefecture, so I'm afraid it won't work." However, the military prefecture where a Dudufu is established is different from the ordinary Cishi Prefecture. According to the Tang system, although the Dudufu is named after the Duhufu or Jiedu Prefecture, Liu Shouguang frowned.
, in fact, it was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Therefore, Liu Zhiwen's opinion sounded completely unfeasible. Of course, if someone else were to serve as the governor of Yingzhou, in this era when the imperial court was weak, Liu Shouguang would have forced a supervisor into the governor's mansion.
It's a pity that the current governor of Yingzhou is Li Chengzhong. So once Liu Shouguang does this, it is equivalent to slapping Li Chengzhong in the face. It is an act that intensifies the conflict.
As for whether the supervisors should be eunuchs, it is not under consideration. The supervisors of the Tang Dynasty did not start with eunuchs. During the reign of Empress Wu, the supervisors were always civil servants. It was only during the Xuanzong period that it became the norm for the supervisors to be eunuchs. , this was a practice that had to be implemented because the emperor's control over the outer towns was greatly reduced. At this time, in fact, many of the supervisors in the feudal towns are no longer eunuchs. The supervisors of the army are all held by the commander-in-chief Baozou, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs just pinches the nose and approves them posthumously.
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Although it is not possible to camp in the governor's office in the state to supervise the army, it is feasible to camp in the north of the mountain to supervise the army."
"Camping in Shanbei?"
"Yes, at this moment, Li Chengzhong is fighting against the Khitan. It is the opportunity to re-establish the Shanbei camp. In order to commend his merits, the commander-in-chief can make Li Chengzhong the general manager of the Shanbei camp. The camp capital, Yuhou, will be appointed by Li Chengzhong. Liu Shan likes to use Pingzhou soldiers The horse envoy is also the supervisor of the camp in the north of the mountain."
The more Liu Shouguang thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea. He added Li Chengzhong as the general manager of the Shanbei camp, and the next military post after Du Yuhou could be self-employed. This was a clear and unmistakable gesture of goodwill to the other party. If Li Chengzhong was willing to put aside his old grudges, then he would need to If he accepts the supervisory army sent by Youzhou and the other party is unwilling to reconcile, then Liu Shanxi will have no choice but to ask for help. He will probably be killed by Li Chengzhong. Well, even if Li Chengzhong does not kill him but just expels him, he will At the same time, he had an excellent excuse to kill Liu Shanxi.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a way to kill two birds with one stone and get the best of both worlds!
Liu Shouguang couldn't help but clasped his hands and praised: "Qiancheng, this plan is brilliant, it is really someone's son's wife!"
The two were chatting about Zheng Huan, and a commotion broke out outside the festival hall. A woman was heard shouting angrily: "That bastard is back? I want to see how long he can hide from me!"
Then there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and the woman rushed in and shouted: "Beast! Bastard! Come out and see me quickly, I can't kill you, you wolf-hearted thing!" Along with it, there were also stars. The officers' voices of reassurance.
The expressions of both Liu Shouguang and Liu Zhiwen changed. Liu Shouguang said in a panic: "A certain old lady!" Liu Zhiwen sighed: "Mrs. Qi..."
Then I heard a crisp "pop" sound outside, but it was an unlucky officer on duty who had been scratched on the ear by Mrs. Qi.
Liu Shouguang and Liu Zhiwen looked at each other, hurriedly hid their faces and left through the side door. When Mrs. Qi broke in and took a look, there was no one in the festival hall. The lady sat down on the ground and burst into tears...
…
Liu Shanxi has been very prosperous these days, and he has accomplished such a big thing. Everyone knows that this low-level official is about to skyrocket. He has been having banquets in recent days, and the Jiaofang Secretary can't remember how many times he has been there. The person who invited him has already Everyone he knew well in the army had their heads, the troops were in command, and there were also commanders of each battalion. Even veteran Lulong generals like Zhang Jingshao had a special banquet for him.
But the legendary post of commander of the right wing is not in line with Liu Shanxi's wishes. To be honest, he is not very satisfied with this promotion. Although this military position is high and powerful, it is close to the Jiedushi, and there are more people above him. The Yi'er Army has the commander-in-chief, and the Marquis Yu is in control. He is even inferior to the commander-in-chief of Zuoxiang in terms of order. Liu Shanxi doesn't like it very much.
After seven or eight years of wandering from town to town, Liu Shanxi wanted to find a stable place to make a living, expand his tribe, promote his confidants, and truly build his own power. To this end, he took steps to make a living. Due to Judge Liu Zhiwen's connections, he even gave more than half of the goods looted from the city after conquering Fan Yang that day to the now powerful second-in-command of the Lu Long Army, hoping that the other party could arrange a good place for him. Well, it would be better to be the governor of a state or the military envoy.
When the appointment was finally made, Liu Shanxi finally got what he wanted, and it seemed like all the dark clouds in the sky had been swept away!
Pingzhou military envoy, this is a position that satisfies Liu Shanxi. Liu Shanxi, who is fundamentally a former general of Lulong, knows that there has always been an important source of food and salary for Lulong. It is very rich. As long as he works hard, he can do whatever he wants.
It is not difficult to raise an army of two thousand people.
What makes Liu Shanxi even more satisfied is that the appointment also includes a Shanbei camp supervisor! With this position, he is no longer an ordinary soldier, but a Shangguan who has the power to issue orders to the border states and forts.
After Liu Shanxi received the appointment, he once again went to Liu Zhiwen to meet with the judge who had helped him a lot. Under the other party's kind words and calm urging, he hurriedly gathered his confidants, and the second
He then left Youzhou and headed for Pingzhou. According to Judge Liu, Pingzhou is now richer than ever before, and many people are eyeing this position, so Judge Liu advised Liu Shanxi to go and fill the vacancy quickly, so that he can make rice as soon as possible.
Cook the rice well to prevent it from becoming too late.
Therefore, Liu Shanxi walked very quickly and very tightly. He had no time to inquire about the current situation in Pingzhou, and did not have time to understand the situation in Yingzhou outside the pass, let alone the Shanbei camp supervisor army that he was looking forward to.
What is the position like? After all, he has been away from Lu Long for seven or eight years, and he has been hanging out at the bottom of the army. Liu Shanxi's hasty departure has a somewhat blind nature.
When he was approaching Pingzhou, Liu Shanxi ordered Liu Shanqing to go ahead and report the news of his taking over to the Pingzhou governor's office. He fully planned that as soon as he arrived in the city, the governor Zhang Zaiji would lead the Pingzhou officials to welcome him, but when he arrived at the city, there was still no one.
I saw half of the officials and subordinates, and only a few veteran soldiers were maintaining the city. Seeing them coming in such a large group, I only asked them a few questions, and then politely invited them to enter the city.
When Liu Shanxi was puzzled, he saw Liu Shanqing rushing out of the city, followed by a clerk, who was an eighth-level official in the governor's office.
The recorder told Liu Shanxi that the governor Zhang Zaiji was ill and could not see guests, so he ordered him to come and lead Liu Shanxi into the camp. Liu Shanxi said he wanted to visit Zhang Zaiji, but was coldly blocked by the recorder.
He didn't say much when recording the incident. He directly introduced Liu Shanxi and others to the Pingzhou Army Camp and gave them a brief introduction.
All the facilities in the camp are complete, but there is only one person missing. Liu Shanxi asked the reason, and the recorder said: "They were all recruited to Fanyang by the general. How can there be any soldiers in Pingzhou?"
Liu Shan was happy to see that it was getting dark and did not want to cause more trouble. After asking where the food and grass were stored, he let the recorder take his leave.
If you already have food and grass, are you still worried about not being able to recruit troops? This was Liu Shanxi's idea, and it was logically correct, but he forgot to ask how much food and grass there was in the camp.
"What? Only fifty stones?" Liu Shanxi's eyes darkened.
"Da Lang, it is true that there are only so many, but how can we have a good life?" Liu Shanzhou said with a bitter face.
This amount of food and grass is only enough for Liu Shanxi and more than a hundred people for a month. Where can there be leftover food for recruiting troops? Liu Shanxi tugged at his forehead hair and beard one by one, frowned tightly, and thought hard. (To be completed.)
