The Liubei with the capital is basically a local emperor. Not only does he have control over the military and political power, but most importantly, he can select officials below the fifth rank to be promoted or dismissed! In this way, as long as the Liubei is not a fool, he can easily hold on to power.
The control is in his own hands. Even if the emperor wants to intervene, he can't do anything. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, almost all the military governors became kings. This is the same reason.
In addition, most of the retainers were members of the royal family, which made the emperor even more uneasy. As a result, unless there was extreme trust, the emperor would definitely not be willing to give away the retainer position.
Therefore, not to mention the Kingdom of Jin, even the previous Liao Kingdom, where the four capitals served as the capital, the system of the left-behind people was changing slightly, with the purpose of weakening the power of the left-behind people.
In addition, the rise to power of King Hailing and Wanyan Yong of the Jin Kingdom were both bloody inheritances. King Hailing first killed a group of the original royal family, and the remaining handful were his cronies. After Wanyan Yong came to power,
Killed a group of the royal family again... and then, there was almost nothing left. The current royal family only has two or three big cats and kittens left, not to mention that there are no available people at all, but Wan Yanyong can be completely trusted
, and there are almost no people entrusted with great power.
Even Wan Yan Hao, who has known him for many years and has been following him all the time, is only in charge of Daming Mansion. Moreover, it is uncertain whether Wan Yan Hao took advantage of his daughter in this position.
Therefore, in the Jin Kingdom today, the stay-at-home position with the capital and the corresponding officials have become almost a piece of paper. This includes the Datong Prefecture in Xijing. Especially the establishment of the Northwest Road Recruitment Department to take charge of the military makes the position of the stay-at-home position meaningless.
. Therefore, in Datong Mansion today, there are only some low-level officials left, who can't manage anything at all. Even the soldiers are dispatched and appointed by the Recruitment Department on the Northwest Road.
After introducing each other, he returned to Teku and said to Heshi Liezhining: "Let me explain our current situation to the commander!"
After saying that, he walked forward, and Shen Tang and others naturally gathered around him.
This map is extremely detailed, with cities, roads, mountains and rivers all vividly displayed on the paper. Of course, there are also markings of different colors on it, representing the armies of all parties.
"Commander, please look, our main forces are concentrated here now!"
The map is centered on Datong Prefecture, so the location of Datong Prefecture is naturally the most obvious. The location Hui Teku points to is Xiashui Town, Xuanzhou, about a hundred miles northwest of Datong Prefecture.
Condensation area.
To the north of Datong Prefecture, the Great Wall runs from east to west, and this location is also where the Great Wall pass is located. As long as one generation beyond the Great Wall is crossed, Datong Prefecture will be under their military front.
"Now we have gathered more than 30,000 soldiers and horses here to defend the local attack with all our strength. The local army is the coalition of Xixia and Xiliao, and there are about 60,000 people now! Relying on the terrain and the defense of the Great Wall, the enemy is temporarily unable to
Advance. However, after a long period of hard fighting, the generals are already exhausted, especially since the enemy's army is outnumbered by ours. If this continues, it is estimated that our frontline army will be defeated before long, and the front line of the Great Wall will also be lost.
.”
"Secondly, we received news that the Xixia Army's backup, numbering about forty to fifty thousand, has crossed the border. Now, it is Chen Bing who is in Fengzhou, and there has been no movement for the time being. Coupled with the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian Wanggu tribe in the north,
The current movement is unknown, so we guess that the purpose of these 50,000 Xixia troops is probably to join forces with the Mongolian Wanggu tribe, and then march directly eastward along the northern part of the Great Wall. In this way, they can threaten the north of Zhongdu.
Safety……"
The current situation is indeed a bit urgent. Due to insufficient preparation at the beginning, most of Xijing Road has fallen into the hands of the Xixia people.
Of course, with the current situation, it is impossible for them to send troops to garrison, because seizing these cities is not their purpose. Moreover, if the nail of Datong Mansion is not pulled out, the cities they occupy will have no meaning. However, this
But it is enough for them to march troops unscrupulously in this place without any worries. Because the soldiers and horses on this road now have no time to care about the safety of other places.
"The biggest problem we face now is the lack of troops." Hui Teku said in a solemn voice.
"Even if we don't consider counterattack for the time being, if we want to stabilize the Xiashui Town area, at least 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses will be needed to fill it. If we want to deal with the Xixia soldiers in Fengzhou, and even consider the Mongolian Wanggu tribe, we still need to
At least 50,000 troops and horses are required."
Hui Teku's explanation was relatively complete and basically made sense, so Heshi Liezhining nodded, but he just thought about it but did not speak.
After a long while, he said in a solemn voice: "Okay, I understand. Starting from tomorrow, troops and horses from Hebei will arrive one after another, and the problem of troop strength will be solved by then! After I think about it, I will decide what to do next.
.”
Everyone accepted the order and left! But He Shi Liezhining walked up to Shen Tang and said, "Shen Tang, how are you? Do you think it's a bit of a paper talk?"
Shen Tang smiled but did not speak.
Heshi Liezhining continued, "Don't look at the fact that we have fewer troops now, but we will definitely win this battle. So, you don't have to worry, just leave everything to me. When the time comes, you just have to
If you need to follow my instructions at a critical moment, you will definitely get enough credit. When you go back, you will naturally have an explanation in front of His Majesty."
He looked like he was taking everything in, which made Shen Tang confused for a while. Could it be that Yue'er was so powerful? It directly made the boss change his attitude and even thought about making plans for himself on the battlefield.
Credit?
"Thank you, General!" Shen Tanggong cupped his hands and said gratefully.
"Haha, go and accompany the princess. Later, I will ask them to send the food directly to you. The Fengfeng Banquet is just a group of big soldiers drinking. If you don't want to, you don't need to participate..."
Shen Tang nodded, then saluted him again, and then turned around and left. Indeed, for him, staying with Wan Yan Yue was obviously more important than other things.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, Wanyan Yue had already asked Chunyueju's guards to wait outside the door. However, when Shen Tang saw Yi Ciduo coming out one step ahead of him, his heart moved.
