Chapter 3 Gambling (5 Part I)


Perhaps persuaded by Pei Lian's three-inch incorruptible tongue, or forced by the actual situation faced by his own family, two days later, the Zhaozhou battalion officially announced the change of banner, and more than 4,000 people in the battalion and more than 50,000 men, women, and children who depended on the Zhaozhou battalion to survive collectively walked out of Juluze and took refuge in Datang.

Of course, this ending is not satisfactory to everyone, especially some strong people who hope to push Cheng Mingzhen to a higher position in the war, and they themselves will rise with it, and they are extremely disappointed in Cheng Mingzhen's "weakness".

But when he turned his head and looked at the figures of the people in Zezhong happily packing up their cages and preparing to relocate, and the excitement on the faces of most of the soldiers, this dissatisfaction slowly disappeared again.

Long-term war Si'an.

Troubled times have lasted long enough.

The soldiers and the people are willing to follow up until now in the predicament of the Zhaozhou camp, and they have paid enough.

You can't expect anything from them, and no one has the right to expect anything from them.

At the beginning of the army, all they wanted was a way to survive.

Now that Li Tang is already the most powerful prince in the world, taking this hitchhiker, he may not be able to mix in place and the ministers, and he should be able to ensure peace and security in the second half of the world.

Lao Jianghu Pei Lin also understood the needs of the soldiers and the people very well, and on the day of the agreement, he waved his pen and drew a huge piece of land sandwiched between Taiyuan and Shangdang counties to the people of Juluze to reclaim.

There are many similarities between the land grant order of the Tang Kingdom and the tuntian order of the Zhaozhou camp in the Ping'en area, and they are more detailed and complete.

On behalf of the people, several villagers who accepted the Tang Dynasty's grant of land relied on their past experience and did not need Pei Lin to explain too much, and they understood what kind of life everyone was about to live after the migration, and they were moved to tears one by one.

Subsequently, Pei Lin struck while the iron was hot, and transferred a part of the armor and baggage from his own military camp to arm the Zhaozhou battalion, as for the reason why the number of soldiers in the Zhaozhou battalion suddenly "decreased" from tens of thousands to a few thousand, the old man laughed and did not mention it.

After settling the ordinary soldiers and civilians, Pei Lin began to solve the problem of the way out for the civil and military forces at all levels of the Zhaozhou battalion.

He planned to keep this strange soldier to deal with Dou Jiande, so he was not ready to forcibly break up the group.

Directly within the scope of authority, he took out a bunch of blanks from the fourth grade to the seventh grade and told him, and asked Cheng Mingzhen, Wang Qiang and others to fill in according to the actual talents of their subordinate officials.

This time is equivalent to giving each of the civil and military officials of the Zhaozhou battalion a three-level promotion.

Wang Qiang, Wu Tianxi, and Xiong Kuohai were directly promoted to the fourth-rank generals, and others such as Wang Fei, Duan Qing, Zhang Jin and others ranged from the fourth-rank generals to the fifth-rank generals.

Even the old people who have returned to the rivers and lakes, such as Du Scar and Hao Laodao, each of them have mixed up with false titles such as guerrilla general and Huaihua division, and there is probably no hope for them to continue to rise in this life, but the treatment of Yulu can always be until the day when they go west.

Only for Cheng Mingzhen, Pei Lin did not directly recommend official positions like Wang Deren and Wang Junkuo.

Instead, he made a summary of his specific resume, ability, and influence in various parts of southern Hebei, and attached it to Li Yuan's good news, and sent it to Beijing quickly.

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was worried about Pei Liantun's army in Hedong, and he had not made any achievements for more than half a year.

Seeing the song, he shook his head, and said to Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song with a smile: "I have long said that Xuan Zhen is not the material for leading troops to fight.

But how can his skills be matched by ordinary people, Dou Jiande should be on fire.

Shiwen, how do you say we should pour some oil on Dou Jiande's fire, and save him from thinking about calculations every day."

Xiao Yu took the fold handed over by Li Yuan, and after a rough browsing, his face was immediately full of smiles, "Pei Gong did a good job, and he directly planted a thorn in Dou Jiande's heart."

Chen Su heard that Cheng Mingzhen was very popular in Xiangguo and other places, Dou Jiande seized his territory, and we took him and tens of thousands of homeless people over.

This means that our army has not arrived, and half of the people's hearts have been taken from Dou Jiande's hands.

Besides, attached to those heroes under Dou Jiande, who were originally at both ends of the first mouse, found that my Datang opened his arms to accept the guests at the end of the road, and he would definitely have a secret comparison in his heart. ” "Hmm" Li Yuan nodded, brushing his beard, obviously agreeing with Xiao Yu's analysis.

"The minister guesses what Lord Pei means" gestured, Xiao Yu continued to admonish, "The reason why Cheng Mingzhen is not promoted to the official position is that I must hope that this favor will be done by His Majesty."

"Yes, that's what Xuan Zhen meant.

He didn't say it directly, he was leaving a back hand for himself.

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head slightly.

In addition to recommending talents for the country, Pei Lian's performance also contains a layer of meaning that he does not want to be suspected of forming a party for personal gain by the imperial court.

As an old boss who has been with him for many years, Li Yuan guessed this very clearly.

And the reason why Pei Lin is in a hurry to confess himself may be related to the recent reactivation of King Qin by the imperial court.

I am afraid that the King of Qin will take the opportunity to retaliate against his last calculation under the pretext of "privately conferring official titles".

This old thing, the older it gets, the more refined it becomes.

"Master Pei may not be a backhand."

As colleagues, the relationship between Xiao Yu and Pei Lin has always been good, smiled, and explained to the other party in a low voice, "According to the minister's opinion, he doesn't want His Majesty to give Cheng Mingzhen's official title a low."

Otherwise, it will not have the effect of shaking the heart of Dou Jiande's army.

And the official positions above the fourth rank and the super-grade dignitaries are not within the scope of his power" "Shi Wen is saying that Xuan Zhen wants to ask Cheng Mingzhen for a knighthood" Li Yuan heard this, and his eyebrows jumped.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the official positions of the heroes from all over the country who came to join him were very lenient, and the positions of generals and doctors were loaded.

At the busiest moment, Youji didn't even have time to prepare the letter, so he carved one out of wood and painted it with some lacquer.

But the knighthood that can be passed on to children and grandchildren is relatively stingy.

In addition to Pei Lin and the eldest grandson Shunde, many generals who have experienced a hundred battles have only been given the title of Founding Viscount.

If Cheng Mingzhen is granted a knighthood as soon as he is attached, I am afraid that it will make many people's eyes burn.

"Even if it's a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, Your Majesty has to make it look good," Xiao Yu nodded lightly and said with a smile.

"A thousand dollars buy horse bones.

In this way, it is too easy for me to get the title of Datang" Li Yuan frowned, reluctant in his heart. looked at Xiao Yu's determined appearance, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, count this kid blessed."

Anyway, he's also a general, isn't it true that the old man still has an old friend with his father."

"Your Majesty may confer on him a knighthood, but not on too high an official position.

In this way, I am afraid that others will not be able to say anything if they have something," Xiao Yu thought about it and added in a low voice.

"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly, "I'll leave this matter to you."

How to let him know my love and talent, and how to motivate him to work for me, is all up to you.

After the decree was prepared, I used the seal directly.

You don't have to pass the court anymore, otherwise it will definitely take some words."

Xiao Yu nodded lightly again and accepted Li Yuan's commission.

Then he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Recently, there have been many criticisms of Master Pei for his long-term and fruitless actions.

Now that Master Pei has fulfilled his original promise to His Majesty, His Majesty might as well summon him back."

"Vertical and horizontal, is what Xuan Zhen is good at.

Charging into battle, Xuan Zhen really can't do it.

Li Yuan shook his head with a smile, "Who can replace him, counting it, he pinched Wang Junkuo, Wang Deren, and Cheng Mingzhen together, and also formed a solid line of defense against Liu Wuzhou." ” "His Majesty asked the prince to lead the troops to guard the main road from Henan to Beijing, in order to prevent the Wagang army from taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Now Li Mi led the Wagang army south to crusade against Yu Wenhua, and it was impossible to send troops and horses to attack the Beijing division in a short period of time.

Therefore, it is better to transfer the crown prince to Hedong, and General Liu Hongji, who has just recovered his body, to Hongnong and the first line of Michi.

General Liu is also a veteran of a hundred battles, although he experienced some setbacks some time ago, as long as he regains his strength, it is enough to defend my Datang portal. ” "Oh" Li Yuan was shrewd, and with a slight frown, he understood the deep meaning of Xiao Yu's arrangement.

King Shimin of Qin recently made a forced landing in Western Chu, and his subordinates got a new group of arrogant soldiers, and their strength rose again.

However, because the opponents are Wang Shichong and Li Mi, the prince has not made any achievements.

At present, among the three heroes recruited by Pei Lianxin for Datang, except for Wang Deren's relatively mediocre qualifications, the other two are of great use.

At this time, it was transferred to Hedong, just enough to recruit Wang Junkuo and Cheng Mingzhen under its banner.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "But in this way, the pond will be empty."

Hongji is a brave general, good at attacking and defending.

And my Datang is currently not free to go through Henan."

"Your Majesty means" Xiao Yu didn't understand the taste for a while, and looked at Li Yuan's eyes and asked.

"The last time Shimin came to the palace, he used to talk to me about something" Li Yuan didn't meet Xiao Yu's gaze, just looked at his palm.

These hands are no longer as hard and powerful as they were when they were young.

Where calluses were once overturned, any stroke with paper may cause an opening.

This is true for the palm of the hand, and the same is true for the back of the hand.

Sighing faintly, he continued: "Shimin talked about what happened when our family was in Liaodong.

He was still young at the time, but I always had him with me.

Let him see how Li Zhongjian trains his soldiers and how Liu Hongji fights.

After all these years, it's like it happened yesterday."

Xiao Yu couldn't interject, so she had to sigh quietly with Li Yuan.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and after strongly weakening King Qin's wings, Li Yuan really relented. knew this was the case, why did he force Pei Lin to be a villain in the first place "After he left, I thought.

Over the years, I have been training him as a general.

The eldest son is in business, and the second is responsible for opening up a new world for the Li family.

That's what I thought back then.

After so many years, I and Jiancheng, Shimin, father and son, have also done the same.

Many things, in fact, I don't blame him, I arranged them myself.

Hehe" as he spoke, Li Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Jiancheng is mellow-hearted, and he will be a good emperor who will carry on the past and forge ahead into the future.

And after a hundred years, Datang also needs a great general king who can control the world.

I knocked the people of the world some time ago, and I believe he also understands my painstaking efforts.

Now, I want to give them more opportunities to exercise while the world is still calm."

"Your Majesty sees far away" Xiao Yu was finally able to interject and complimented with a wry smile.

"So, I think it's more appropriate for the people of the world to go to Hongnong and Michi.

Although Hongji has enough qualifications, after all, he has just been released from Xichu and has not made an inch.

I am afraid that the soldiers will be unconvinced" Li Yuan smiled and said to himself.

The second half of the sentence is purely self-justification.

The responsibility for Liu Hongji's capture is not at all his own.

But as a courtier, Xiao Yu didn't want to get too involved in the power struggle within the Li family.

After thinking about it, he echoed in a low voice, "Your Majesty's words are reasonable.

Let Liu Hongji be the deputy and assist King Qin to sit in Hongnong.

Let the prince go to Hedong in person to replace Lord Pei. ” "Well, I haven't seen Xuan Zhen in so long.

I really feel empty in my heart" Li Yuan nodded with a smile, and then turned away.

A huge picture hangs on the wall of his study.

Picturesque rivers and mountains, in an instant
