"Hou Ye" Zhang Shiyi saw Yun Xiao coming, and quickly retreated to the side of the road and bowed.

The captain guarding the gate looked unnatural, and the soldiers dared to say anything in private. But if it is heard by a real person, it is a great sin to offend the nobles. Especially in the face of such a high-ranking and powerful Hou Ye, but this captain just looked unnatural, but he didn't have the slightest intention of pleading.

"Mao hasn't grown up, who taught you to evaluate a prince like this."

Yun Xiao was expressionless and asked in an inquiring tone.

"Master Hou, subordinates...... The subordinates were open-mouthed for a while, and asked the Hou Ye to forgive their sins. ”

The lieutenant just gave a salute and said nothing more. It doesn't seem to care much about Yun Xiao, and it is estimated that this guy's backstage is very hard.

"You haven't answered me yet, who taught you to say that."

"General, his subordinate is General Cheng's brother-in-law. Please also ask the general to look at General Cheng's face and give him some face. ”

Oh, it turned out to be someone from the Cheng family. No wonder it's so arrogant. It's just that I don't know if it's Cheng Bu from Chang'an or Cheng Ying who died in Baoying. Whether it is a living person, a dead person must give some face. But if you let him go like this, I'm afraid I won't have to be a human being in the future.

was thinking about whether to hit the board or smack a few mouths, but found that this guy actually looked at Zhang Shiyi with slanted eyes and a proud face. Zhang Shiyi's face was sad, and his head bowed deeply. And the soldiers under him were all all sad, and once upon a time they were also arrogant Han soldiers. Now they have become rebels who are bullied, and the difference in identity makes them feel indignant.

This is not going to happen, and it is absolutely impossible to allow those who have just pledged their allegiance to themselves to suffer such humiliation.

"Come on, drag it down and cut it."

The lieutenant was immediately stupid. I never thought that one of my eyes would turn the spanking into a beheading. As soon as Dai Yu waved his hand, the two iron guards flew off their horses, both of them were the captains of the former Wu Army. I hate these people who humiliate Wu soldiers the most. Dragged to the side, drew the sabre, and cut off the head with the knife in his hand.

"Hang their heads on the gates of the city for everyone to see. Zhang Eleven. Let your brothers come home. Ben Hou has asked for the forgiveness of your sins. However, I don't know how to approve Ben Hou, and that's all Ben Hou can do. ”

The Wu soldiers fell to their knees in unison, and sent Yun Xiao and his party into the city with the most noble etiquette.

Yun Xiao's recital was a military newspaper, and it was sent directly to the Taiwei Mansion in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles. Zhou Yafu didn't dare to slack off when he saw the military report, so he immediately entered the palace to meet Liu Qi.

"The Marquis of Lintong is really not ordinary, Liu Jiabao killed more than 1,000 heads. Just now, more than 11,000 rebels were killed under the city of Jiangdu, and Dou Yuan, the prime minister of Jiangdu, also drew a charge to prove that the head was correct. The minister knew that the Marquis of Lintong had always had the habit of taking the head to repay the merits, and it was estimated that he would not make false reports. ”

Liu Qi paced. He looked down and pondered, as if he was listening, but he didn't seem to be listening.

"I don't doubt that he will take the risk of asking for rewards, the Marquis of Lintong is a person who does not like to be an official. He couldn't do anything like that, and I cared about it. What do you think, tell me what you mean. ”

"The minister is a soldier and a captain. Speaking and doing things are all considered from the military, and your majesty is not strange. ”

"No blame, you say. I listened. ”

"It's not terrible for the two armies to face off against each other, it's scary to not know where the enemy is......"

Zhou Yafu glanced up at Liu Qi and observed Liu Qi's expression.

Say. Go on. ”

Seeing Liu Qi's encouraging eyes, Zhou Yafu said: "I am most afraid of this kind of situation of ignoring the soldiers and the people in the war, and you go to conquer those are the people." You can't kill indiscriminately, and as a result, you will shoot cold arrows and touch the sentry card while you are unprepared. Such a rotten war minister has a headache when he thinks about it, and the 300,000 troops of the former Qin Dynasty went to Lingnan as a lesson from the past. Tu Jia is also the general who commands the army. As a result, the same was killed by such tactics.

From a military point of view. The Marquis of Lintong was right, recruiting the original Wu soldiers and soldiers with a little training to be elite soldiers. It is very effective in stabilizing the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"I'm not worried about their prowess. but their loyal servants. After all, if they rebelled against the court, if they were rearmed. King Wu raised his arms in Dongou and shouted, and the consequences were unpredictable. ”

"The minister is a person in the army, and he does not understand political affairs. The Prime Minister seems to be clearer. ”

Zhou Yafu was very respectful. There is no interest in the unexpected things of his authority.

Liu Qi's hand knocked on the table again and again, and the hall was terrified.

"Has the matter of King Jiangdu been confirmed?"

"The joint recital between the Marquis of Lintong and Xiangguo Dou Yuan has arrived, confirming that the king of Jiangdu was indeed captured by Xiang Sanqiu. The Marquis of Lintong once tried to rescue, but only beheaded more than a thousand without success. ”

"Okay, you go down, prepare for tomorrow's court meeting, let's discuss this matter. The matter of the king of Jiangdu still has to be suppressed, after all, Jiangnan has just stabilized, and a vassal king has been plundered by the rebels again, and it is not good for the court to spread it. ”

"No"

Zhou Yafu walked backwards out of the main hall. Liu Qi looked at Zhou Yafu who was retreating backwards, and muttered a "slippery head"

Liu Qi felt that the current courtiers were too obedient, and there were no more courtiers like Chao Cuo, who dared to speak out and were extremely loyal. Even when a soldier like Zhou Yafu began to become tactful, it was not a good thing for the imperial court, and it was important for the emperor to be arbitrary, but it was also important for the ministers of persuasion to be arrogant about their own gains and losses.

"Let's go to Changle Palace to have a look, I haven't been to the old lady for a long time."

Qiandu led Luan to the door of Changle Palace, and saw the back of Cheng Ji leaving from a distance.

It's almost October, Chang'an is already a little cool, and the sun seems to have finished venting a summer roar. Now there is a lack of stamina, and the Queen Mother spread a blanket in the garden. There was a cage of gnats on the desk.

"The emperor is here, you hurry up and greet him."

The Queen Mother put down a gnather cage in her hand and said to the palace people beside her with a straight face.

"Mother, sometimes my son really doesn't know if you are really blind or falsely blind. None of the palace people found the son, how did you know? ”

Liu Qi admired his mother's ability to predict the future.

"Insects sue me, don't look at these little creatures, they will only tell me a lot of things."

"For example......

"For example, the emperor's heart is full of confusion and irritability now."

"Mother Cheng Ji is here to annoy you."

"My son was taken away, and my brother was killed in battle, and I wouldn't be in a good mood if she did. I didn't dare to go to you, so I naturally came to me, and the old woman said. Listening to your tone today, I'm afraid that the matter of King Jiangdu is true. When you released the vassal king, the old body felt that it was inappropriate. Fei'er, this kid is impatient and not a steady person. Thinking that it might be better to send a knowledgeable person like Dou Yuan to help him, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The vassal king of the domain was actually plundered by traitors, and it was the first time that my Han had encountered it. What are you going to do with it? ”

The son was also worried about this matter, and Jiangdu's army was defeated by the rebels. Fortunately, the Marquis of Lintong arrived in time, and nearly 20,000 rebels besieged Jiangdu and were killed by him. Two or three thousand people were also captured. I really don't dare to imagine how much the situation in Jiangnan will erode if Jiangdu falls.

Now the king of Changsha and the king of Jiujiang are all struggling to support, and they have written to the imperial court to send troops to support. The Xiongnu in the north still repeatedly violated the border, and the Marquis of Lintong came to play a chapter and said that he wanted to suppress and appease him. I am now considering it, and I have already asked Zhou Yafu that his opinion is yes. But ......"

"But you're worried about the loyalty of these Wu soldiers, right?"

The Queen Mother leaned over and said in the direction of Liu Qi.

The son is worried about this, if these people have a repetition. The situation in the south of the Yangtze River will be completely eroded, and the imperial court will have to raise troops to fight at that time. The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is vertical and horizontal, and it is not suitable for the Northern Army......"

"Young men are always reckless and unscrupulous, do you know why? Because they don't have a home, people who don't have a home naturally have no scruples. If the families of the surrendered troops are moved into Guanzhong, do you think they will rebel? ”

"Mother's mention is good, but I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of people. Where can the land in Guanzhong withstand such a division, I am afraid that it will be lost in a few years. In the future, I will reward the heroes. ”

"Let Yun Xiao solve these things, his workshop is always not enough people. Besides, those soldiers and generals were all recruited by him, so naturally he gave these people his land. Don't think that he is poor, he is rich, and your inner house is probably not as rich as his. You don't know, when he was in Huainan, he embezzled a large amount of seizures. The news that the old man got was tens of thousands, and we had to spend the money for him. ”

"Damn, it's actually a private seizure. It's a felony, and I'm going to ......."

"What are you going to do, arrest him or kill him. What if there is no situation in Jiangnan without him, you can find another general for the old body who can defeat almost 20,000 people with more than 500 people and kill more than 10,000 people. This man is easy to use, but he has no ambitions. If he doesn't even covet money, then you have to be careful.

No one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings and careful thinking. The royal use of people is loyal and easy to use, as for greedy ink, as long as it is not too much, then it is up to him. Besides, this is also a royal handle. If he has any crooked thoughts, a charge of corruption can kill him. At that time, the people of the world would only say that the emperor was wise, and no one would say that the royal family killed heroes indiscriminately.

If you let him do things in Jiangnan, you have to give him power. But when he has a lot of power, he is afraid that he will have other thoughts, and it will not be good if he makes the tail too big. simply moved the families of these generals to Guanzhong. In this way, he had a different mind in Jiangnan, and no one rebelled with him. ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, and when it comes to the emperor's mental technique, Liu Qi is not the first mother's opponent after the Lu Rebellion. A reasonable explanation gave Liu Qi a sense of openness. Mother is right, as long as he catches Yun Xiao's greedy pigtails, he has a great merit and has to be obedient. (To be continued......)
