Ten horses, no, it should be eleven horses, can win the allegiance of a dignified deputy envoy? Li Chengzhong was speechless for a moment. He never felt that he had the bastard spirit of a time traveler, which could make him
When people saw him, they kowtowed and prostrated. The first person who followed him was only one ginger seedling, which was the result of his tireless teaching and care. Later, he gathered 23 people during the retreat to the north, and this was how he formed his team.
.
But even among these twenty-three old brothers who almost relied on themselves to successfully return to the north, only nineteen of them were willing to follow him out of seclusion in the end. Among the earliest useful people gathered around him, none of them had great talents.
They were all the lowest-level soldiers brought out by him. It was not until he moved into Youzhou that Hebei generals such as Li Chengyue, Wang Sitong, and the Gao brothers were really used by him. As for Abaoji, Aping, and Zhao Bazhi
Liu, who surrendered after being defeated by him with force, should be regarded as surrendered generals. Li Chengzhong was not even sure whether they truly surrendered.
So facing Li Siye's almost naked surrender, Li Chengzhong didn't know what to say. He did consciously want to make friends with General Ziqing, so he didn't hesitate to send him a war horse when they met, but it was just a friendship, not at all.
I thought it would be the result in front of me.
In fact, it was the reason why he rose to power too quickly. When facing the world's heroes, he subconsciously did not put himself in the position of a strong person. Yes, a strong person. For Li Siye, Li Chengzhong at this moment is a strong person.
Jiedu!
What affected Li Siye's judgment was not only the mountains of food and supplies of Lulong's army, but also the luxuriously equipped sergeants and powerful cavalry. In addition to these, the title of Lulong Jiedushi was also desperately trying to amplify the halo around Li Chengzhong.
Since the An Lushan era, Lulong Town has always been a strong vassal in the Tang Dynasty. During the Su Dynasty, it was called the three strongest vassals in Hebei together with Wei Bo and Chengde.
The appearance of the leader of the vassals appeared in front of the world. For more than a hundred years since the town was established, Lulong has been the banner and weathervane of the Jiedushi world against the imperial court.
Even after the neutralization, the generals of the world stepped on Huang Chao's shoulders and joined forces with force, and the Hebei vassals gradually declined, but Lulong always relied on the brave mountain disciples and powerful cavalry group to maintain its status as a strong town.
Therefore, Li Chengzhong should be grateful to Lu Long's predecessors. Their unremitting efforts over more than a hundred years have allowed Li Chengzhong to enjoy the rest of his life.
We can't blame Li Siye for changing his tune too quickly and too easily. In front of the powerful Xuanwu Army, Li Siye endured too much pressure!
Seeing that Li Chengzhong was silent, Li Siye thought that the commander-in-chief still wanted to consider him, so he immediately asked for a fight: "Commander, I would like to lead my troops as the vanguard to defeat Xuanwu and Bochang!"
Li Chengzhong had no choice but to speak. If he didn't speak, he might hurt Li Siye's heart. No matter what, people always show their loyalty, right? Let's not say whether to accept it or not, but at least to comfort him. He patted Li Siye on the shoulder and said,
Expressed some encouragement.
There were some things that Li Chengzhong couldn't ask face to face, so Jiang Miao came forward and accompanied Li Siye first, preparing to explain everything.
Li Siye knew that the person in front of him was Marshal Li's confidant, and thought he was a supervisor sent to him. He immediately cheered up and prepared to do his best to show off in front of this "supervisor" in order to win Marshal Li's respect.
Jiang Miao is a very easy-going person. In the four years since he started his career with Li Chengzhong, he has been inconspicuous and has not made any great achievements, but he has reached a high position. In the eyes of people who do not know the situation, Jiang Miao is
Therefore, he was able to rank among the three giants of the Lu Long Army simply because he was the earliest in the "Cong Long" period, so many people lamented his good fortune.
But only by being in Li Chengzhong's core system can we understand how important Jiang Miao is to Li Chengzhong and what a big role he plays in the Lu Long Army. He is in charge of education, merit examination, and military law. Although he is not good at military formations, Jiang Miao's power
He is even more important than Zhang Xingzhong, the recognized second man of the Lulong Army. In the eyes of the officers, Jiang Miao is a strict man exuding a murderous aura, while in the hearts of the soldiers, Jiang Miao is a kind and caring brother. Here he is.
In the alternation of this contradictory image, Jiang Miao completed the important task entrusted by Li Chengzhong - to control the morale of the army and maintain its loyalty to Li Chengzhong, and became a core figure within the Lu Long Army system.
Jiang Miao's ability to turn things into a romantic one over the years made Li Siye fall in love with him in a short period of time.
"What did General Li think about it? What are his plans for the future?" After Li Siye relaxed completely, Jiang Miao began to use the trick of doing educational work to make him grow old.
"Hey, what are your plans? Just take it one step at a time." Li Siye sighed.
This was clear evidence that he had no confidence in his future, or that he was discouraged by his current situation, indicating that the other party was very hesitant and depressed. Jiang Miao immediately judged Li Siye's emotional state.
"How are you doing in Qingqing? General Li seems to be looking good, so I think he's happy with it." Jiang Miao asked tentatively.
Li Siye's cheek twitched, and after a while he managed to squeeze out two muffled laughs: "Hehe..."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to discuss this topic in depth, Jiang Miao changed his approach and directed the conversation to himself: "General Li, there is no need to worry about it. The current situation is difficult. It will be fine once we get through this. Four years ago, a certain
Farmers couldn't even make ends meet every day. At that time, they really couldn't survive, and they had no hope for the whole day... It can be said that God was kind to me, so that I met Li Jiedu..." Let's talk about myself first,
It is easy to take off the other side's defenses and use oneself as evidence to give the other side hope. This is the most sophisticated trick used by the teaching officers of the Civilization Department. For ordinary soldiers, this trick is tried and tested to boost morale, but
Jiang Miao was not sure whether a senior general like Li Siye would work, so he could only try it out first.
Li Siye listened very intently. When he heard about the Eastern Conference, he obviously showed great interest and kept asking about various details carefully.
But what Li Siye was interested in was not how much money the members of the Eastern Council could share each year. From Li Siye's words, Jiang Miao could feel that the other party was not short of money - in fact, Li Siye was very rich, and the Li family was a wealthy family, and his ancestors were
The famous lords of the Sui and Tang Dynasties only declined in the chaotic wars between various vassals. But even if they declined, there were still countless farms and powerful slaves in their families.
Li Siye asked the most questions and was most concerned about the origins of the Dongshi Council members, what official positions they held, what the Dongshi Council's discussion system was, and how the Dongshi Council resolved major matters through this system.
Jiang Miao took the trouble to explain in detail. After everything was understood, Li Siye was silent for a long time and sighed deeply: "Once you join the Dongshihui, you will have a hundred years of worry-free life! Li Jiedu is really a wise master."
What Li Siye said about "a hundred years of worry-free" did not mean wealth, he meant power. The Dongshihui created by Li Chengzhong not only ensured the prosperity of the Dongshis in terms of wealth, but also ensured the "security of power" of the Dongshis through the discussion system.
". Major matters, especially measures related to the vital interests of the bosses, must be discussed and decided at the boss meeting. This can ensure the safety of the bosses to a large extent. As long as you can be in the group of bosses,
Among them, you will not easily lose all the power you have. Through this group, you can exert influence on major policies within the entire Lulong system. Even being kicked out of the Dongshi Council requires a secret "vote" from all Dongshi.
vote!
Even though Li Siye held the high position of Deputy Envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, he lived a precarious life. In the event of Wang Shifan's ascension to the throne, the Li family relied on the power of the wealthy family to become the Wang family's great help, but also because of
His great power caused all kinds of wariness and suspicion among the Wang family. Although he was the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Li Siye's voice in the Pinglu Army was far inferior to that of Wang Shifan's brothers, and even less than Liu Wei. The Li family
I have always been trembling in front of Mr. Wang, for fear that if I am not careful, the other party will find an excuse to kill me.
In a war, it is also a deep sadness to have wealth but no ability to protect yourself. Therefore, during the Pinglu Army uprising, Li Siye has been making his own calculations.
Li Siye once wanted to join Yang Xingmi, but Yang Xingmi had no idea about Qian Qing for the time being, and he could not offend Wang Shifan, his ally who could jointly fight against Xuanwu. Later, Li Siye also had the idea of joining Xuanwu anyway, but Wang Shifan did not give him a chance and sent him away.
He was sent far to the bank of the Yellow River to meet Lu Long's army. Moreover, Wang Shifan wanted to be on guard against Li Siye, and the armors provided to his subordinates were quite inferior and insufficient, and the food and baggage were not sufficient. Therefore, Li Siye took action when he saw the abundance of Lu Long's army.
, when Li Chengzhong generously donated the horse, he had the idea of joining the army.
After listening to Li Siye's open-hearted complaint, Jiang Miao thought for a moment and slowly explained Lu Longjun's system one by one under Li Siye's expectant eyes. These things could not be deceived. Jiang Miao told Li Siye straightforwardly that joining
We can guarantee your wealth and the safety of your relatives, but there are no mountains or private soldiers in the Lulong Army. This needs Li Siye to seriously consider.
In addition, Jiang Miao also conveyed Li Chengzhong's intention. He told Li Siye that Marshal Li was very willing to accept Li Siye, but now was not the time because Lu Long and Ping Lu had a more important enemy, that is Xuanwu. However, Marshal Li could assure Li Siye that he would like to
Ways to protect the safety of the Li family - for example, after repelling Zhu Youning, Marshal Li will suggest to Wang Shifan that Li Siye guard Bochang and protect the channels for Lu Longjun and Ping Lujun to communicate. I believe Wang Shifan will definitely give Marshal Li this face. As long as Li Siye serves as
Guarding General Bochang, his safety is also the safety of the Lu Long Army. If Li Siye needs help, the Lu Long Army can quickly cross the river to provide support.
Not to mention that Li Siye was thinking hard and suffering in his heart, it took the two of them a day to arrive at the camp where Li Siye was stationed.
Opposite was the Xuanwu Army sent by Zhu Youning to block the attack. Li Siye wanted to lead the attack first, but was dissuaded by Jiang Miao. Because according to Jiang Miao, Li Siye's army was indeed not very happy with the Pinglu Army, at least it needed
Only by changing armor can he be able to fight, so he decided to wait for the follow-up baggage, so that he could replace a batch of weapons for Li Siye's troops. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
