Lu Guangda took a sip of water to calm down: "General, I just received the news that Li Xingchen has invited himself to be the General of the North Campaign. At the same time, he has invited Pei Zilie to be the General of Zhendong, the Major General to be the General of Zhenbei, and Chen Zhishen and other subordinates.
Generals are invited to have various official titles ranging from general to general."
After a pause, Lu Guangda felt helpless: "After Li Xingchen invited himself, he directly changed his banner to General Zhengbei. At the same time, all the military departments also changed their banners."
"Invite yourself?" Xiao Mohe raised his eyebrows. Li Xingchen was really bold.
This self-invitation is shameless enough. I have never heard of anyone applying for an official position on his own. Li Xingchen obviously even applied for an official post as a formality and simply implemented the reward.
But think about it, Li Xingchen has actually become his own entity now. If he does not give his generals enough rewards and promotions, then these generals' loyalty to Li Xingchen will definitely be affected to some extent. It is not a large-level interest constraint and
The temptation of ideals can make everyone follow Li Xinchen from beginning to end.
So it was actually sooner or later that Li Xingchen did this.
This should be Li Xinchen's test for final independence. If Nan Chen's reaction is not too intense, Li Xinchen will probably become independent next.
What makes Xiao Mohe even more worried is that it is obvious that the generals under Li Xingchen accepted this reward calmly, which means that they have already acquiesced to the current facts and have made preparations to become Conglong heroes in the future.
Prepare. But think about it, now in the Nanchen court, the older generation of ministers and generals have not left, and older people such as Xiao Mohe have just reached high positions. When Xiao Mohe disarms and returns to the field in old age,
, the next generation of Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others are also not young.
Not to mention the other people who followed Li Xingchen, such as Chen Zhishen, Dai Cai and others. If they continue to serve as generals of Nanchen, their achievements in this life may not be able to surpass the current Li Xingchen. After all, the Nanchen court cannot watch.
Li Xingchen, a feudal official, was directly appointed to the throne.
Now even people who participated in the creation of this dynasty, such as Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and Chun Yuliang, have already sided with Li Xinchen, let alone expect the younger generation to have much loyalty. For
For these young guys who have been working hard outside for a long time, Nan Chen obviously doesn't have much that they can miss. On the contrary, the bright future that Li Xingchen outlined for them is what they want.
Therefore, whether it is a younger generation of generals such as Pei Zilie or a general in his thirties or forties such as Chen Zhishen, there is obviously more hope to follow Li Xingchen.
Moreover, Li Xingchen has proved his strength with facts and is worthy of their following.
Today Li Xingchen asked himself to be the general of the Northern Conquest, and tomorrow he will probably proclaim himself king and emperor. From still accepting the canonization of Nan Chen to now self-proclaimed, Li Xingchen finally crossed this threshold.
Xiao Mohe felt a little bit Xiao Xiaoran for a while.
After all, all this was because of his step-by-step promotion of Li Xingchen, but in the end, he created a powerful and invincible enemy for Nan Chen Hengkong. The reason why this enemy was powerful was because he had unknowingly conquered the enemy.
The whole Nanchen took time out.
For the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Xingchen mainly instigated and then confronted head-on. However, for the Southern Chen Dynasty, Li Xingchen actually never relaxed and encroached step by step. However, this encroachment was not on the land, but on the people. When the civil and military officials of the Southern Chen Dynasty all followed Li Xingchen's
At that time, even if Li Xingchen directly took the entire Nanchen as his own, who would have any objections?
Compared with fighting the Northern Zhou Dynasty with real swords and spears, Xiao Mohe felt that Li Xingchen's method of dealing with Nan Chen was more terrifying. Especially when Chun Yuliang stayed in Xiangyang, Xiao Mohe was at a loss for a while. He didn't know what he should do.
We shouldn't apologize to the court. After all, although Chun Yuliang nominally obeyed his command, he was no less generous than Xiao Mohe in terms of official title, not to mention that he had this qualification, so Chun Yuliang should go.
Yes, Xiao Mohe actually couldn't stop it at all, but Xiao Mohe should be responsible for this, and he was a little afraid of such a phenomenon.
Who knows that yesterday it was Chunyu Liang, and today it won't be someone else, such as Ren Zhong, or Lu Guangda in front of me?
Xiao Mohe really didn't know where Li Xinchen's tentacles had reached and how many people had been shaken. He was really afraid that when he got up one day, he would find that Jiangling City was surrounded by Li Xinchen's army.
Now Li Xingchen does not lack such strength, let alone such courage. But since Li Xingchen has planned to start his own business, why should Pei Zilie continue his marriage to the Xiao family?
To put it bluntly, the reason why Xiao Mohe still agrees with such a marriage and even allows the family to arrange it with great fanfare is to test Li Xingchen's attitude. If Pei Zilie breaks off the engagement, it means that there is nothing to talk about here.
Yes. However, the Pei family has never expressed any intention to object. Even Pei Zilie's father, Pei Yi, has rushed over from Jiangzhou, firstly to escort the bride price, and secondly, naturally, to prepare to go north to attend the wedding.
Although Xiao Mohe doesn't know what Pei Yi's attitude towards Li Xinchen is now, but since he has the courage to go directly to Xiangyang City, there should be no need to say anything more. Pei Zilie is now Li Xinchen's loyal minister.
He must be a proper founding official and a prince for generations. Pei Yi has wasted most of his life. He must be very clear about what choice he should make at this time.
"General..." Lu Quanda looked at Xiao Mohe who was deep in thought and hesitated to speak. In fact, he came here mainly to ask Xiao Mohe to cancel the wedding of the Xiao family and the Pei family.
But now it seems that Xiao Mohe is not reluctant.
At least he had no intention of turning around to stop the servants who were busy behind him.
"General, news from Xiangyang!" Chen Yu walked over quickly at this time, breaking the awkward silence between Lu Guangda and Xiao Mohe, "Li Xunchen appointed Li Xun, a general from the Zhou Dynasty, as General Anton and the commander of Baidi City.
Troops and horses, immediately move southward around Langzhong!"
"What?!" Lu Quanda and Xiao Mohe were both startled.
Chen Yu hurriedly said: "The news just sent by the scouts, my subordinates knew that there was no need to delay, so they hurriedly informed the general. By this time, Li Xun should have started to leave, and at the same time, Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan, who were originally in Baidi City, should also have started to organize themselves.
Troops and horses, prepare to go north."
"Let Li Xun deal with someone..." Xiao Mohe narrowed his eyes slightly.
Li Xingchen's choice was not wrong.
I just don’t know where his next main attack direction will be, Guanzhong, the Central Plains, or... Jiangling at his feet?
"General, the letter sent from Xiangyang was written by Li Xinchen himself!" Another guard came over quickly.
This time Xiao Mohe and Lu Guangda didn't understand what Li Xingchen wanted to do. (To be continued)
