On the first day of December in the seventeenth year of Tianbao, the leading generals from all over the Tang Army who received the order rushed to Shaanxi County to participate in the military strategic deployment meeting.

Among them were Shuofang Jiedushi Guo Ziyi, Hedong Jiedushi Li Guangbi, and Shanyu Deputy Protector Zhang keep Yu, Huainan Jiedushi envoy Lai Qi, Xingping Jiedushi envoy Li Huan, Huapu Jiedushi envoy Xu Shuji, Pinglu military envoy Dong Qin, Zhengcai Jiedushi envoy Ji Guangchen, Hexi Jiedushi envoy Wang Nanlan, Luqin Jiedu envoy The envoy Wang Sili, the envoy of Henan Jiedu Li Zhuan and others.

Li Huan, Xu Shuji, Dong Qin, Ji Guangchen, Wang Sili, Wang Nan and others were the first to arrive.

They arrived on November 28th.

The people from the Marshal's Mansion arranged them in an inn in Shaanjun City.

In order to hold this military meeting, the Marshal's Mansion specially booked this inn.

At the same time, they sent troops to enforce martial law in the city.

There were soldiers on the streets at all times during the day and in the wild.

Alley patrol.

The person who received and arranged the food and accommodation for the various military envoys was Wang Wei, the director of the General Affairs Department of the Marshal's Mansion.

Although Wang Wei was a little indifferent to fame and fortune, he was still very serious and responsible in his work.

He came to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Commander Qi , Li Huan, Xu Shuji, Dong Qin, Ji Guangchen, Wang Sili, Wang Nan, etc.

The people had already arrived first, and Xianguan had already checked them into the Yuelai Inn in the city.

Their food and accommodation were arranged there.

The major general was responsible for security.

There should be no problem.

They mentioned it to Xiaguan, hoping that it would be a military meeting Meet with the commander before the strategic meeting.

Take a look, commander."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Let's do this.

You bring them to the Marshal's Mansion in the evening.

I will meet them.

After everyone has arrived, we will arrange a reception banquet on the night of December 30th.

I will attend" "clear" As soon as Wang Wei left, Wang Can walked in and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Commander, the assassination case has been solved, Tianxiang Tower has been uprooted, and the owner Wu Yinzi has also been captured.

According to our verification, this Wu Yinzi was raised in Li Linfu's house back then. thorn The real name of the guest leader was Wu Gui.

Before Li Linfu died, he left the Li Mansion and wandered around the world.

According to the confession of Zhike, who was responsible for taking orders, it was An Qingxu who paid a lot of money for Tianxianglou to send an assassin to assassinate the commander.

The important ministers under my command are solemn and solemn.”

Zhao Ziliang sneered and said: "Hmph, it seems that there are quite a lot of people in the world who want me to die.

There are people in the court who want me to die, and there are also a lot of people in the rebels who want me to die.

I just want to live well. of" Wang Can asked: "What to do with Wu Yinzi and his group of captured assassins?"

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Give them to Xuan Shiba, the commander of the Huya Army.

Although some of the skills of these people are vicious, they are of great benefit when used on the right path.

It is not easy for Wu Xianzi and these people to learn skills.

You tell them, I am not trying to kill them all.

If they can stay in the Huya Army and teach them martial arts and skills, I can let them live a long life."

"I understand."

Wang Can clasped his fists and retreated.

In the evening, Wang Wei took Li Huan, Xu Shuji, Dong Qin, Ji Guangchen, Wang Sili, Wang Nan and others to the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion to wait.

Soon, Zhao Ziliang arrived, and everyone quickly got up and came forward to pay their respects: "Commander" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be formal, come and sit down."

"Thank you, Marshal" After everyone sat down, Zhao Ziliang asked: "How are you generals?"

Everyone felt sad for a while, Xu Shuji clasped his fists and sighed: "Commander, since our army suffered a defeat in the Battle of Xiangzhou in July this year, we have suffered serious losses in troops and all our food, grass and baggage in the battle.

Now our army only has less than three soldiers."

Thousands of people and horses, after eating one meal, I still don’t know how to solve the next meal.”

Xu Shuji's statement was a bit exaggerated.

In any case, the current army is not as disciplined as that of later generations.

If there is no food and grass, and the superiors do not allocate it, the soldiers are likely to rob the local people, even if the local people have no food.

The army will not be without food.

Li Huan, Dong Qin, Ji Guangchen and others also complained endlessly.

Dong Qin said: "Commander, now we have few soldiers and few generals, and we lack food, grass, baggage and ordnance, so we want to ask the commander to think of a way to see if we can Give us some additional soldiers, food, supplies, and ordnance, otherwise we won't be able to fight at all now."

Zhao Ziliang weighed it for a moment, and then said to several people: "We have recently recruited 12,000 new soldiers, but we have not arranged for training yet.

Let's do this.

These 12,000 people will be divided among the four of you, each with 3,000.

In addition, I will ask someone to replenish you with half a year's worth of food and supplies and a batch of ordnance."

Although there were only 3,000 soldiers, these four Jiedu envoys were still very happy.

They had no choice but to do so.

Their territories were now occupied by rebels and they could not recruit soldiers at all.

If they wanted to expand their troops, the court or Zhao Ziliang had to find a way.

"Thank you, Marshal," the four said happily, clasping their fists.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Don't thank the local officials in your defense area who have been sending me lawsuits recently, saying that you allowed the soldiers to plunder the civilian soldiers around the garrison.

I can give them; food, grass, baggage and troops I can also give you the weapons, but if you take them and still allow the soldiers to plunder and harm the people around the station, when I want to march and attack you with swords and axes, don't blame me for being unkind."

After everyone heard what Zhao Ziliang said, they knew they couldn't play tricks in front of Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang gave them face, asking for people and giving money.

If they still do that, when Zhao Ziliang really pursues the case, he will have no shame.

That's not true of Zhao Ziliang.

This person is indeed different from others.

Wang Chengye and Zhao Ziliang competed and judged each other.

Zhao Ziliang was born to be a commander.

The generals had to obey him in front of him.

They were really respectful and afraid.

However, in front of him, ordinary soldiers found him easy-going and approachable and had no airs.

This is how a general leads troops.

So everyone said seriously: "Commander, don't worry, we will strictly restrain the soldiers in the future."

The next day, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Lai Yi and others arrived one after another and went to the Marshal's Mansion to meet with Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang took the time to meet with them.

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were very excited to see Zhao Ziliang.

They had not seen Zhao Ziliang for more than ten years.

This meeting was an extremely rare meeting.

Guo Ziyi said: "I haven't seen the commander-in-chief for many years, but he is more powerful than before."

Li Guangbi said: "It is a pity that I have not listened to the commander-in-chief's teachings in these many years."

Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Now that you are all in the high position of Jiedu Envoy, you are already a feudal official and a minister of the imperial court.

What else can I teach you?

Your Ziyi has been with me for a few years, and Guangbi has not been by my side."

Yes, but it was General Wang Zhongsi I value you very much.

Let’s talk about old times later.

Today, when you come, I want to know your current situation.

How many soldiers and horses do you have under your command?

Do you have enough ordnance and food?

What is your fighting strength and morale?

Please tell me one by one. " Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Lai Yi and others each told their own situations.

Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army still has more than 15,000 people left behind, and nearly 30,000 troops in the Hedong area.

Li Guangbi also has nearly 30,000 people under his command, but this is already the entire force in Hedong.

Many soldiers have been lost in previous wars, and wars often occur in Hedong, and people are fleeing seriously.

It is difficult to recruit troops unless they capture strong men, but this kind of thing Li Guangbi couldn't do it again.

The soldiers and horses of Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi are both quite good in terms of combat effectiveness.

After all, they have experienced many battles and are soldiers in border areas.

Their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the mainland.

However, the soldiers and horses under Lai Yi's command are much worse.

There are only 20,000 people.

It is difficult to defend Huainan and other places.

It is basically impossible to take the initiative to attack.

Zhao Ziliang knew Guo Ziyi well.

Guo Ziyi had his own way of leading troops.

He was relatively lenient towards his subordinates.

As long as his generals and soldiers did not commit capital crimes, he usually turned a blind eye and often gave them advice.

After issuing rewards, the discipline of the army under his command would not be complimented.

People in the army often did things like stealing, digging and robbing graves, and he should also be responsible for it.

I don’t know, but over time, the soldiers and generals all thought that he was a kind-hearted elder.

In addition, he was older than the average person, and the generals and soldiers also respected him.

As long as the command is proper during the battle, the soldiers will They are all brave in fighting and can work hard, but his army is not good at fighting will.

Once the war situation goes unfavorable, the army will easily collapse.

Guo Ziyi's idea of ​​​​uniting troops is related to the feudal education he received.

He placed the chips on whether the army can win the war on him, the supreme commander, and his generals.

In other words, the general's ability determines the success of his army. ability, focusing on the training of generals but not on the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Guo Ziyi has been with Zhao Ziliang for a long time, but he only learned some of Zhao Ziliang's marching and combat tactics, but not Zhao Ziliang's thoughts on running the army.

Everyone has their own ideas, and Zhao Ziliang cannot force Guo Ziyi to learn what he does.

Zhao Ziliang not only attaches great importance to the training of generals, but also pays more attention to the training of ordinary soldiers, and pays more attention to the ideological education of the army.

Each of his generals has the ability to lead troops in combat alone.

Even if the soldiers are scattered, they can still fight.

Come together quickly.

Li Guangbi's thoughts on military management are similar to Guo Ziyi's, but he also has his own way.

Guo Ziyi is mature and prudent, and likes to be upright in commanding operations, while Li Guangbi is a combination of right and wrong.

Therefore, from the beginning of the Anlushan Rebellion to the present, Li Guangbi and the rebels Not only did he fight more times than Guo Ziyi, he also won more battles and lost less troops.

After understanding the strength of each of his troops, Zhao Zi had a clear conscience.

He remembered something and asked Li Guangbi: "How did Brother Shu Yao do when he arrived at your place?"

Li Guangbi replied; "Ge Shu Yao is good.

He is very serious about his work.

Although he did not inherit Ge Shu Han's martial arts and military skills, he did a good job in civil service.

I gave him the logistics affairs and he arranged them all.

It’s going very well and I feel relieved”:
