Liu Daoqian bowed his hand to all the officials and generals one by one, and nodded with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking to the front, Liu Daoqian turned to face everyone and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official has been coming to Caizhou for a while, and he has some understanding of Huaixi's affairs. ”

"The imperial court also knows that there are many officials and soldiers in Huaixi who are concerned about the imperial court, and they don't want to be in the same league with Li Zhongchen, and they have been forced to submit to him all these years, so this official is appointed by the imperial court this time for you and the people of Huaixi, to give you a chance to reform and abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"

"This time, General Li Xilie and General Chen Xianqi first pledged allegiance to the imperial court, and cooperated with the official to eradicate Li Zhongchen's minions Zhang Huiguang and his son in one fell swoop, which is indispensable! However, Li Zhongchen's henchmen and minions in Huaixi are obviously not only Zhang Huiguang's family, if the imperial court wants to eradicate all Li Zhongchen's minions and henchmen in Huaixi, it also needs the cooperation of all the adults and generals present. Those who secretly collude with Li Zhongchen will be punished! ”

"I believe you all already know that the imperial court not only sent an army to conquer Li Zhongchen's ministry to relieve the surroundings of Xiangyang, you may not know that the Liang Chongyi department in Dengzhou has been controlled by the imperial court, which is under the auspices of the regent, and is personally executed by the Taiwei Guo Ziyi, and now the Dengzhou army has begun to march south to Li Zhongchen's department, and they will be sent by the imperial court by the veteran general Zang Xiyan to lead the Shence army and the Zhenguo army to attack Li Zhongchen's department, in the case of not being able to conquer Xiangyang, Li Zhongchen can be said to be defeated, You can serve the imperial court at this time, let Huaixi return to the rule of the imperial court, and encircle Xiangyang, Dengzhou and Gucheng on all sides. Those who are familiar with the regent know that the king will never treat his courtiers who like to do things and do practical things, and it is not a problem to rise all the way, but if you want to climb up but want to do nothing and get something for nothing, this will definitely not work with the regent! ”

"Although I know that many of you present are pleased with the court and serve the court, but I don't know who they are, I don't know what you think in your hearts, and at the same time, in order to protect your privacy, so I decided to talk to you separately, and the official will wait in the ear room next to it, and those who have served the court can go in one by one to show their hearts to the court, and the official will inspect you on behalf of the regent and the court, and evaluate your sense of identity and loyalty to the court! There is no need for General Chen Xianqi and General Li Xilie to go, the two of them stay here to greet the others and maintain order on the scene, and you must not make any more noise while the official is talking to any of them! Okay, the official will go first, everyone come one by one, don't crowd, wait for the first person to come out, and the people behind can go in! ”

After speaking, Liu Daoqian turned around and went to the ear room next to him, leaving a group of officials and generals staring at each other.

After a while, Sun Ben, who was in charge of the treasury, finally couldn't help but be the first to walk to the opposite ear room, although he was Li Zhongchen's cronies, but he lost all the money of the Huaixi Army, no matter how close he was to Li Zhongchen, Li Zhongchen would never spare him, he knew very well that since there was no way to live in Li Zhongchen, he might as well simply take refuge in the imperial court.

A quarter of an hour later, Sun Ben walked out of the ear room with a happy face, looking at his expression, everyone knew that Liu Daoqian accepted him and valued him very much, otherwise he would not be so happy.

Seeing this, Judge Sun Guang immediately walked to the ear room without hesitation, and the other officials and then the general suddenly regretted it, and secretly blamed themselves for why they didn't go to the ear room immediately? Now is the sooner you show your attitude and intentions to the imperial court, the better, and the more attention will be paid to it.

Li Xilie watched the officials and generals rushing towards the side of the ear room, and his heart suddenly resented, looking at Chen Xianqi's gaze almost erupted into flames, but he knew that he couldn't act rashly now, those who have achieved great things must be forbearing, and they must not act easily when the time is not right, otherwise they will only hate for life.

In the evening, Liu Daoqian finally saw all the officials and generals, and when these people came out of the ear room, their faces were either full of joy or calm as water, but there were also a few people with sad faces, these people were Li Xuan, Li Yuanping, Zheng Chang, Yang Ji and others, Li Xilie looked at them one by one and remembered them in his heart.

After everyone walked into the ear room, Liu Daoqian came out of the ear room and said to all the officials and generals with a smile: "Just now, all the lords and generals went to the ear room to meet with me, talked with each other, and expressed their allegiance to the imperial court. In addition, your official positions will not be changed for the time being, and we will make appropriate adjustments depending on your performance in the future! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but admire Liu Daoqian's sophistication. Liu Daoqian let them continue to hold their original official positions, so that they can maintain the stability of Huaixi officialdom and the military to the greatest extent, but they will definitely have to make adjustments in the future, as for how to adjust, it depends on their respective performances in the next period of time, good performance, and maybe promotion, if they don't perform well, they are afraid that they will not even be able to protect their current official positions, and everyone has to admire the cleverness of this trick.

All the officials and generals clasped their fists and bowed down and agreed: "Everything is subject to Lord Liu's dispatch!" ”

When Li Xilie saw this situation, his ambition suddenly fell to the bottom, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head. Liu Daoqian's methods were clever, and he drew a big pie for these officials and generals, but he was eyeing them with a big stick, and as long as anyone was disobedient, he would be added with a big stick. Those who behave well will have bread to eat.

Liu Daoqian nodded with a smile, and said to Chen Xianqi: "General Chen, this official has ordered you to be responsible for collecting the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhang Huiguang and his son, restraining them, and obeying the dispatch of this official!" ”

Chen Xianqi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take orders!" ”

Liu Daoqian also instructed the leader of his entourage: "Chu Guard, according to the requirements of the regent, the army must set up a military police to inspect and arrest generals and soldiers who violate military discipline, so as to achieve the goal of rectifying military discipline. Generally according to the size of the number of military personnel, gendarmerie groups of different sizes are set up, and the largest establishment of the gendarmerie can be described as the gendarmerie battalion, followed by the gendarmerie regiment, and then the gendarmerie brigade! This officer appointed you as the commander of the Huaixi Military Police Battalion, and selected 500 loyal elite soldiers from all armies to form a military police battalion, and completed the formation within five days, and then immediately sent a small team to enforce the law among the various armies. Whoever dares to resist is a blatant betrayal of the imperial court, and they will all be killed! ”

The leader of the entourage clenched his fists and agreed: "Subordinates obey!" ”

When the generals and colonels of the military heard Liu Daoqian's order, their hearts sank, and it seemed that they should not mess around in the future, and they must also strictly restrain their subordinates, otherwise there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the hands of the military police battalion.

Liu Daoqian instructed Judge Sun Guang again: "Judge Sun, please write to the six prefectures of Huaixi and the counties below in the name of the Huaixi Propaganda Envoy, and tell them that from now on, Huaixi will be under the rule of the imperial court, and this official, as the Xuanhui envoy sent by the imperial court, is now the highest governor of the imperial court in the Huaixi region, and the officials of the six Huaixi prefectures and the following counties must carry out the decrees issued by the official and obey the dispatch of the official, and if there is any violation, they will be regarded as traitors and exterminated!" ”

Sun Guang stood up and bowed and said, "The next official will take the order!" ”

Liu Daoqian looked at everyone, his eyes stopped at Li Xilie, and asked, "General Li, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands?" ”

Li Xilie scolded in his heart, you don't know about this, isn't this a knowing story? Although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't help but answer honestly: "Lord Hui, there are 3,000 soldiers under the command of the last general!" ”

Liu Daoqian nodded and said, "Okay, this is an extraordinary period, and this official is determined to send a team of soldiers and horses to assist Guo Dashuai, General Zang and General Geshu of Xiangyang to flank Li Zhongchen." Now in Huaixi, you have the most soldiers and horses, General Ding Hao, General Jia Zihua and General Pan Zhizhang are not many soldiers and horses, only a few hundred people, the guards are not enough, can not draw soldiers and horses to participate in the battle, this officer after careful consideration, decided by General Ding Hao, General Jia Zihua and General Pan Zhizhang each lead a thousand people, and then from other states respectively to draw a part of the soldiers and horses, to make up 5,000 troops, by you as the commander of the army, this Lord should be the supervisor of the army, you and I led the army to Tangzhou to station, do not seek to march and take the initiative to fight with Li Zhongchen's troops, Just to block Li Zhongchen's escape back to Huaixi, so that he can't jump out of the encirclement! ”

Li Xilie opened his mouth, but he couldn't get out of the fire in his stomach, Liu Daoqian asked Ding Hao, Jia Zihua and Pan Zhizhang to divide his military power, but he made him the commander of the army, which song is this?

Seeing that Li Xilie was silent for a long time, Liu Daoqian raised his voice and asked, "General Li?" Don't you want to? The official knows that you have resentment in your heart, and thinks that this arrangement is to divide your military power, but if you think about it, after you serve as the commander of the army, you will be the second person in Huaixi, in addition to this official, the entire Huaixi is your biggest official! And now Huaixi is an eventful autumn, and I also ask General Li to focus on the overall situation, and at this time to give up small profits and achieve great righteousness! ”

These words put out the fire in Li Xilie's stomach cleanly, and he didn't even dare to be angry, lest others know that he was unhappy and thought that he had a small belly and chicken intestines, so he could only agree: "The last general will obey!" ”
