Gao Xiuyan said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, we have no requirements.
We must obey the imperial edict and implement everything.
I heard that the armies of the DPRK and China are undergoing reorganization and training.
Not only has there been a change in the organization, but the command and power structure in the army has also changed. , since the imperial army has already started, the Yunzhong Army cannot do anything special, please send two deputy generals and a supervisor to the Yunzhong Army."
Not to be outdone, Zhang Shouyu said: "The same is true for the Mobei Army."
Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while and then said to the two of them: "I am very happy that you can take the initiative to cooperate with the imperial court in reforming the military system.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with the imperial court's original military system, but now people's hearts are not old, and the Tang Empire is gone.
The prestige of the past, if the generals had no one to supervise If the governor and his power are not checked, it is easy to breed ambition.
I have thought about it.
In view of the needs of combat, the Mobei Army and Yunzhong Army will not be reorganized for the time being, and the command rights will not be adjusted until Heshuo is pacified.
After three towns, we will put this matter on the agenda."
Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan looked at each other, and Zhang Shouyu asked: "Your Majesty, the King of Mobei is planning to use troops against the three towns of Hesuo in the next step."
Zhao Ziliang said: "These days, Tian Shenyu, the queen of the Bian Song Dynasty, died of illness.
Li Lingyao, the lord of Duyu, killed the soldiers and horses, Meng Jianhou raised an army to rebel, and Tian Yue, the military envoy of Wei Bo Jiedu, raised troops to attack Huazhou to support me.
I haven't touched them yet.
They arrived.
Let’s take action first.
This will completely solve the three towns of Heshuo at once and avoid future troubles forever.”
"I know that Mobei and Yunzhong have been isolated from the Central Plains in recent years, and there is no communication between them.
The Mobei Army and the Yunzhong Army have not replenished their troops for many years.
Most of them are veterans.
Although they are superb in combat skills, they are old after all.
The strength is not as good as before, and the combat effectiveness naturally declines quickly.
After the three towns of Heshuo are pacified, the Mobei Army and Yunzhong Army will be reorganized.
For those who still have relatives at home, they will be given retirement resettlement allowances to let them retire.
After serving in the army and returning home, the military can recommend them to their hometown government to serve as village chiefs, district chiefs, county officials, or police officers.
For veterans and police officers without family members, Officers, if they are willing, can consider arranging them to serve as subordinate officials, tax collectors, and police officers in various prefectures and counties.
If they are not willing, they can be arranged to stay in the fields and try to give them a place to go.
What do you think?"
Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan stood up and clasped their fists and said, "Old minister, I would like to thank you for your consideration, sir."
Zhao Ziliang said to the two men again: "Some time ago, the relevant government offices of the imperial court have taken action to arrest the officials of the DPRK and China who have colluded with the feudal town.
They have cleaned it up as soon as possible, but there is no guarantee that there are still hidden fish that have slipped through the net.
If you are allowed to appear in public, The news leaked out and was conveyed There will be no surprise effect in the three towns of Heshuo, so you can't show up in public in Chang'an yet.
You can return to Yunzhong and Mobei in a few days.
Regarding the matter of sending troops to attack the three towns of Heshuo, we will continue I will discuss this with you two in detail in the next few days."
The two clasped their fists and said, "Old minister, I understand."
On March 22, Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan left Chang'an and returned to Mobei and Yunzhong respectively.
The matter of sending political officials to Mobei and Yunzhong was temporarily put on hold until the battle to pacify the three towns of Heshuo began.
Government official Go, it still needs to be kept secret, and Zhang Xiangong and Gao Ruyue have stayed and are temporarily inactive at the Regent's Mansion.
They will also have to wait until the battle to pacify the three towns of Heshuo begins before they can go to Youyu Lin and Xichuan Chengdu Mansion to take office respectively. .
However, it was said that Prince Li Shi passed through Tongguan and Shaanzhou and arrived at Luoyang after setting off from Chang'an.
He was preparing to go south to Caizhou the next day.
The Prime Minister Pei Mian who was accompanying him that night asked: "Your Highness, are you really going to Caizhou?
Bring Marshal to Caizhou."
The camp will be set up in Caizhou" Li asked doubtfully: "What, is there anything wrong?"

Pei Mian said: "Your Highness, Zang Xiyan is in charge of Caizhou now.
He has an old friendship with the regent.
You may not be able to command him when you arrive in Caizhou.
If he doesn't listen to you, what can you do?
Whatever you do to him, your prestige will be gone, and how will you be able to lead the army in battle in the future?"
Li Shi thought about it carefully and felt that Pei Mian's words were not unreasonable, so he called Yang Wan, Chang Gun and others over to discuss it together.
Yang Wan said: "It would be great if Marshal Guo could lead his troops to help."
Chang Gun said: "Impossible, Marshal Guo is now presiding over the training of the Dengzhou Army and the Huaixi Army, unless the regent orders Marshal Guo to replace Zang Xiyan and Prime Minister Pei.
His concerns are justified.
Zang Xiyan is an old stubborn.
It is said that when he was the general of Jinwu Guard, , No one buys it, and he behaves like a regent.
After all, His Highness is young.
I’m afraid I can’t control the old man Zang Xiyan.”
Li Shi frowned and said, "Where should I go?"
Chang Gun said: "Mengzhou, Heyang Jiedushi Li Yuanchun's tribe is stationed in Mengzhou.
He is a clan member.
His Highness will definitely receive his hospitality and support when he comes to Mengzhou.
Moreover, His Highness can remotely control Zang Xiyan in Mengzhou.
If He did not take command and delayed the fight.
He could directly report it to the court and let the court deal with him, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of His Highness directly turning against him.
As for Huazhou where Yongping Jiedu envoy Zhang Yi was stationed, Tian Yue had already captured it.
Zhang Yi himself also led his troops to retreat to Weizhou.
He had nothing to worry about.
If His Highness went to Zhang Yi's place, he would still be worried about his own safety.
Li Na, the governor, is basically a vassal town.
How could he obey the imperial court's order to fight Li Lingyao and Tian Yue?
So it is most appropriate to go to Mengzhou."
Li Shicheng immediately said: "Well, let's go to Mengzhou."
Mengzhou is not far from Luoyang, and Li Shi and others arrived in Mengzhou in just one day.
Heyang Jiedushi Li Yuanchun learned that Li Shi had arrived in Mengzhou, and immediately took his generals and officials out of the city to welcome Li Shi.
Extremely respectful.
Upon seeing this, Li Shi sighed and said: "Brothers can still be relied upon at critical moments."
Like Guo Ziyi and others, Li Yuanchun was also a senior general who was promoted and promoted during the Anshi Rebellion, and he was a member of the clan.
He initially served in the Hexi Army.
When the Hexi Army was transferred to the Central Plains to suppress the rebellion, he was in the army.
But at the beginning, unlike Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others, he was not qualified to stand alone.
When Zhao Ziliang was the marshal in the Eastern Campaign to suppress the rebellion, his troops were under Zhao Ziliang's command.
After Li Shi and others settled in Mengzhou, they began to discuss with Li Yuanchun about sending troops to attack Li Lingyao.
Li Lingyao expressed his obedience to the imperial court and Li Shi's dispatch.
Li Shi then set up the marshal's camp in Luoyang, and Li Yuanchun led the troops to accompany him.
After the marshal's camp was set up, Li Shi immediately sent people to order Yongping Jiedu envoy Zhang Yi to garrison in Weizhou to prevent Tian Yue from leading his army southward.
He also sent people to order Li Na, the Ziqing Jiedu envoy, to lead his army to attack.
Yuncheng, attack Li Lingyao's back.
At the same time, people were sent to Huainan and Caizhou respectively to give orders to Wei Yuanfu, the governor of Huainan, and Zang Xiyan of Caizhou, asking them to lead their armies northward and station troops in Haozhou and Chenzhou respectively, waiting for orders to be ready to attack Li Lingyao at any time.
Li Shi originally had no hope for Li Na, the governor of Ziqing.

Li Na had long refused to accept the control and dispatch of the imperial court and had been doing his own thing in Qingzhou and Pinglu.
Li Na was among the vassal towns that became king a few years ago.
But what Li Shi didn't expect was that Li Na actually sent troops, and he was the first to send troops.
He captured Yuncheng in a very short period of time, directly threatening Li Lingyao's back Caozhou, and Li Lingyao was greatly shocked.
Fearing, he immediately dispatched heavy troops to Caozhou to defend against Li Na's attack.
Li Lingyao, who was attacked by Li Na, was greatly constrained in terms of military strength.
Li Shi was overjoyed when he learned the news, and immediately ordered and personally led the Heyang army to march eastward and attack Bianzhou.
At the same time, orders were given to Wei Yuanfu, the military governor of Huainan who was stationed in Haozhou, and Zang Xiyan, who was stationed in Chenzhou, to attack in the direction of Suiyang.
Li Lingyao's troops were restrained and faced with the unfavorable situation of being attacked from three sides.
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded and destroyed, he immediately sent someone to ask for help from Wei Bo's military governor Tian Yue.
Although Tian Yue was young, he was quite politically intelligent and he knew that if Li Lingyao After Ling Yao was wiped out, it was very likely that the imperial army would be targeting him, so he immediately led his troops south to attack Weizhou in an attempt to encircle Wei and save Zhao by attracting some of the imperial troops to Weizhou and relieve the pressure on Li Lingyao.
Yongping Jiedushi Zhang Yi led his army to defend the state to the death, resisting Tian Yue's attacks again and again.
There was a general under his command named Liu Qia.
This man was originally from the market, a native of Kuangcheng, and worked as a robber catcher in his early years. , for violating the law, he was whipped by the county magistrate and almost died, so he risked his life to join the army.
With his bravery, he became the general of the Yongping Army.
This man had rich combat experience, was very smart in marching and fighting, and commanded calmly on the city wall, with the style of a general.
Tian Yue's fierce attack for more than half a month still failed to break through Weizhou.
The soldiers suffered heavy losses and were exhausted, so they had to withdraw.
After the news that the Yongping army blocked Tian Yue's front reached Li Shi's ears, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief and began to cheer up.
He was eager to make contributions, and despite the dissuasion of Pei Mian, Yang Wan and others, he insisted on leading his army to Xiang Xiang.
Attacking in the direction of Bianzhou, they committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy and advancing too deeply into the enemy's territory.
On March 25, the 18,000-strong Heyang Army set out from Xingyang under the leadership of Li Shi and Li Yuanchun.
Not long after, they were ambushed by Li Lingyao northwest of Zhongmou.
The Heyang Army was in chaos and the soldiers lost their helmets.
Li Shi was so frightened that he abandoned his armor and fled to the rear.
He abandoned his soldiers, turned around and ran away.
Although Li Yuanchun tried his best to control and direct the army, he had no fighting spirit and the situation was over.
He fled to Xingyang under the coercion of his own soldiers. .
Li Lingyao led his army to pursue him all the way.
The Heyang army suffered heavy casualties and countless prisoners.
During the escape, Prince Li Shi was shot in the back shoulder and was seriously injured.
He escaped back to Xingyang.
As soon as they fell ill, Pei Mian, Yang Wan, Chang Gun and others were so anxious that they had to report to the court quickly and asked Li Yuanchun to collect the broken troops and block Xingyang.
The marshal's camp quickly withdrew to Luoyang
