Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparing Forces

Taiyuan Jingluo House.

This important military town in the north of the Silk Country has changed its owner again, and the whole atmosphere has changed a lot.

Although it was not lifeless when Liu Qian, the king of Jin, served as the Taiyuan guard, what he did was really nothing new, everything was just going according to plan, what everyone did today will not be much different from yesterday, and it will also be no different from tomorrow, and things are slowly moving forward between unchanged and orderly; After Xue Boren took over as the envoy of Taiyuan, there was a significant improvement in the military, he actively adjusted the defense of various places, rectified the armament, trained the soldiers, and boosted morale, and many officers and generals were reused and promoted during his three years of service, but Xue Boren was not good at local government affairs, so these affairs were completely entrusted to civilian officials to deal with, and therefore the political performance of the Taiyuan region basically maintained the level of Liu Qian's era; And since Liu Xianzhi, the king of Zhongyi County, took over this position last year, everything has changed.

First of all, Liu Xianzhi was familiar with the internal affairs of Taiyuan Mansion, which was originally within the jurisdiction of his father Liu Qian, so he carried out drastic reforms in response to the shortcomings of the past administration, so the officialdom of Taiyuan Mansion took on a new look. Although Liu Xianzhi removed and appointed a group of officials to summon nepotism, all the officials he appointed were honest and competent, and the people who removed them were incompetent and greedy, so the people applauded this.

Secondly, he also made a lot of adjustments in the army, setting up a set of evaluation systems, removing and replacing incompetent officers, and promoting those who were capable but unambitious. At the same time, he also deliberately aroused a sense of competition in the army, like Sima An. Ge Boling, Hao Mancai. Situ Botong and Han Jianlong, the original team brought from Beijing, soon developed a sense of rivalry with the newly promoted officers, and both sides tried to do better than each other in the affairs of the army, in order to be appreciated by the commanders, so that the appearance of the army in Taiyuan was higher than when Xue Boren was in office.

Now there is only one most leisurely person left in Taiyuan Mansion, and that is Liu Xianzhi himself. He arranged all the daily affairs in an orderly manner, and his subordinates handled all the affairs properly, Liu Xianzhi drank tea and played chess with his staff every day, and wrote poems and music. The only thing I do is listen to the information gathered from all over the world.

At present, this royal disciple is lazily lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, eating the grapes fed to him by the maid, while enjoying the warm sunshine in the yard, listening to the information from all over the world, his peaceful appearance will definitely be jealous if Liu Yan, who is diligent in government affairs every day, but unfortunately such a peaceful day cannot make Liu Xianzhi's sick face change any comfortingly.

When he heard the news of the self-collapse of the puppet Shu regime, Liu Xianzhi hummed softly, and there was not much more. This result was originally expected by him, but it was just a little faster than expected. When he heard the news that Wang Hanxin had killed the Yiji Ni sect in Yingzhou, and then asked the emperor Liu Yan for his guilt. Liu Xianzhi suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "It's really a rare thing, this Wang Hanxin actually asked for guilt, it's a bit interesting." ”

Liu Xianzhi is always full of curiosity about things that are unexpected to him, and he has noticed that this Wang Hanxin has not been a day or two. It's hard to grasp his patterns of behavior. This young man who is two years older than himself, his background is almost equal to zero, but he can go from a cloth cloth to the current general of Zhengwupin Anyuan in six years. Its ability is self-evident. But the problem is that he has also had several ups and downs in the past six years, because the trouble he caused is no less than the merit he has made. And compared with the trouble he caused, his exploits were much bleaker. massacres of Goryeo civilians; attacked and killed all members of the Goryeo royal family; beating the uncle; beheaded all the officials of Weizhou without authorization, including many Liu Xianzhi's people. also shamelessly invited credit; mercilessly killed all the Yijiyuni disciples, and this incident fully shows that this is a person who never cares about the consequences, but this time he will take the initiative to petition for guilt, which is beyond Liu Xianzhi's expectations. Originally, Liu Xianzhi decided that this was a harsh guy through his past behavior, but through today's events, Liu Xianzhi found that his judgment was wrong. Linked to the incident of Weizhou and Uncle Guo, coupled with a letter from Liu Yan to himself, mentioning the offensive and defensive aspects of Taiyuan's defense, although Liu Yan did not point out who gave the advice, but Liu Xianzhi clearly felt Wang Hanxin's shadow of Goryeo's desperate plan from this strategy, and if these events are taken together, then this Wang Hanxin is not a harsh reckless man, but a talent who understands military plans and has a bottom line.

The more Liu Xianzhi thought about it, the more fun he felt, and he stretched out his hand and tapped his family members and said, "Go, send the goose feather armor made two days ago to Wang Anyuan, and say that this king will talk about paying respect." ”

"Lord Wang, this Yan Ling Armor is made for you, it is not easy to take materials, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make it in a few years, Lord Wang, you will not be able to wear it when you fight."

Liu Xianyi glared and said, "What's the pity?" Is this king the kind of person who will charge into battle? Since it is not, then it is in vain to ask for such good armor. That Wang Anyuan is a military general who takes the lead, and the good horse treasure knife is to be given to the most suitable person. ”

"This, there is no reason for this, to suddenly give such a big gift, Lord Wang, aren't you afraid of others gossiping?" The family is still struggling.

"Long-winded! Let's just say that the king is very satisfied with his advice, this is a thank you gift! Liu Xianzhi said and lay back again: "Let's go on!" ”

The family could only give in and continue to read: "The injury of Lu Qinghan, the son of Ping, has been healed, and he has now set off from Ulzhou City, and he will come to Taiyuan Mansion in the near future. ”

"Oh? That's great! Liu Xianzhi closed his eyes and nodded, "When will he arrive in Taiyuan?" The king will personally come out to meet him. ”

"It should be in five days, my lord."

Liu Xianzhi replied with a sigh. At this moment, he felt very satisfied in his heart, in a battle outside Ulzhou City last year, Lu Qinghan was shot from behind by Abicil in order to save the Lord Xue Boren was shot from behind by Abiciel, and almost died, but fortunately there was good medicine to save his life, but because the injury was too serious to move, he has been recuperating in Ulzhou City. It stands to reason that his situation has long since recovered to the extent that he can act, but his commander Xue Boren had to retire from the front line of commanding the battle because of his leg injury and disability to serve as a squire in the military department. Now that he is willing to come to Taiyuan, it means that this person has completed his psychological reconstruction and is ready to serve himself. In Liu Xianzhi's mind, Xue Boren left behind no one in the Tiger Guard Battalion except Lu Qinghan can take on this important task, with Lu Qinghan joining, then the last piece of the puzzle in the combat sequence in his mind is finally completed.

Next, it was time to think carefully about how to deal with Tuqi, and Liu Xianzhi's mind began to work on complex calculations. In the eyes of others, this peaceful prince seems to be tired of listening and drowsy. (To be continued.) )
