Eunuch Prison Army.
Li Chao laughed secretly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Li Shimin would use eunuchs to supervise the army.
On the one hand, he had just been crowned the king of Yue on his own, and on the other hand, he sent a eunuch to supervise the army.
Although Eunuch Wang has a good character and Li Chao is very familiar with him, he is a eunuch after all.
"Wang Guanjun, welcome, with you, the soldiers' morale is stronger" Hearing Li Chao call him an envoy to the army, the new eunuch who was given the name of the emperor finally showed a sincere smile on his face.
When he came up along the way, he was very worried that Li Chao would not accept him as a prisoner.
In order to avoid Li Chao's dissatisfaction, the emperor also deliberately chose a different-sounding military envoy for him, but he was still a prison army anyway.
Li Chao was thinking in his heart that Li Shimin could be regarded as the first case of eunuch supervision in the Tang Dynasty.
Although strictly speaking, it should be the first case of opening eunuchs to supervise the army, there are not a few eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, only those eunuchs are called eunuchs, and the rest are not called eunuchs.
However, eunuchs supervised the army in the Han Dynasty, but there were really no eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty before.
Now the emperor has sent a eunuch to supervise the army.
Is it distrustful Li Chao felt that it was not, but it showed that the emperor had some worries about himself, perhaps after the restoration of the rebellion, the emperor's sense of crisis was stronger, and he began to strengthen his precautions against important ministers like himself.
Eunuch Wang had been secretly observing Li Chao's reaction.
The calmness when Jin was crowned King Yue, and the indifference after he stayed as a prisoner, Li Chao's calm performance was a little surprising.
He didn't believe that Li Chao was not surprised at all, it could only show that Li Chao was already very good at hiding his heart.
Li Chao, the heir of an old soldier, Qin Qiong's righteous son, and a disciple of a hidden monk.
In just a few years, he has already been the top nobleman of Datang.
From the son of the old house soldier, a white body, to today's feudal king.
Although it can be said that the early Tang Dynasty was a time of turmoil when heroes were created, the wonder of this encounter was enough to amaze the world.
In the change of Xuanwumen, Li Chao was the mastermind, and the six ministers of the first rank ranked first.
And this time, Li Chao's performance is remarkable, he has wiped out the two armies of the Emperor Taishang in a row, annihilating and surrendering 100,000.
Pacify the southeast.
This credit alone is enough to be the first place.
"King Yue, Li Jing of Jiangxia City, do you think he will surrender?"
"It's hard to say."
Li Chao replied truthfully, Li Chao couldn't see through Li Jing's performance.
At many critical moments, Li Jing always did something unexpected.
For example, when Li Yuan was preparing to raise troops in Taiyuan, Li Jing had already found out, and then he didn't think about joining Li Yuan, nor did he think about sitting idly by, but he thought about going to Jiangdu to tell the truth.
He also deliberately took great pains to make a crime for himself, and asked people to escort him to Jiangdu, and finally fell into the hands of Li Yuan in Chang'an, and almost died.
Then the Xuanwumen changed, and Li Chao was ordered by Li Shimin to contact him.
As a result, Li Jing wanted to be neutral again, he neither came out to help Li Shimin, but also did not tell the prince and Li Yuan.
And this time, Li Yuan held his children and grandchildren hostage, and Li Jing accepted Li Yuan's sealing and appointment, and sent troops in command.
But judging from the fact that he was in charge of Jiangxia, Li Jing did not really reuse his trust for Li Yuan, and he had no intention of working hard for Li Yuan.
He secretly communicated with Li Chao, but he did not surrender after the defeat of Liu Zhenghui in Hongzhou.
"Does King Yue think Li Jing will intercept us in Jiangxia?"
Li Jing's name as a soldier is still very admired by the world.
Eunuch Wang hoped that Li Chao would be able to rush to the city of Hanjing as soon as possible, so that the pressure on the emperor's side could be greatly reduced, and he could easily get out of the customs.
Li Chao did not hide his speculation about Li Jing.
"If my prediction is not bad, Li Jing may withdraw to Xiangyang in the next two days.
Liu Zhenghui's army was annihilated, and Li Jing could not hold Jiangxia City with only 5,000 soldiers.
He withdrew to Xiangyang, and Xiangyang also had some soldiers and horses.
At the same time, it is very close to Hanjing, but he can be defended by Hanjing, and he still has the strength to fight. ” Simple meet-and-greet.
Li Chao introduced Wang Chengen to the generals.
Wang Chengen served as the envoy of the Guanjun, Li Chao didn't know whether he was the envoy of the Qinwang of the world, or the envoy of the Jiangnan Liudao Guanjun, he didn't say, Li Chao didn't ask, anyway, Li Chao directly told those generals that Wang Chengen was an angel. directly announced that Wang Chengen was the number two person in this Qinwang army.
Wang Chengen was also very satisfied with the positioning given by Li Chao, and kept smiling and not saying much.

When Li Chao was about to end the meeting, Wang Chengen said to Li Chao with a smile, "King Yue, we still have a few words to say, can we?"
"Prince, please speak."
Wang Chengen stood up and nodded at the generals still smiling.
"With King Yue commanding King Qin's soldiers and horses, our family is also very happy.
It is recognized that the king of Yue used soldiers like a god.
However, just now King Yue said that he would disband the tens of thousands of captured soldiers, but our family has a little different opinion.
Now that the restoration of the rebellious party has not been pacified, Hanjing is entrenched in a large number of rebellious troops, and at this time, soldiers and horses are still very valuable. ” "In my opinion, these more than 40,000 soldiers and horses not only cannot be disbanded, but also have to recruit some soldiers and horses from Hongrao and other places.
Let's make up 60,000 soldiers, just 20,000 armies, and organize them into three armies. ” Wang Chengen proposed to leave the surrendered army behind, and to supplement more than 10,000 government soldiers, organized into 60,000 soldiers and horses, and lead the king of Qinwang to the north together.
Li Chao smiled.
"This proposal of the prince is very good, Hanjing has not yet been recovered, and at this time, one more soldier will have more strength.
Wang Gonggong, it is better to have more than 10,000 Huai troops under the command of a certain commander as the vanguard, and Wang Gonggong personally commands these 60,000 soldiers and horses as the rear army, how about it" Li Chao's reply surprised Wang Chengen.
After pretending to resign a few times, he smiled and took over the post of commander of the three armies.
After getting the right to command the 60,000 soldiers and horses, Wang Chengen sat down happily.
Li Chao directly handed over the command of the surrender army to Wang Chengen, and he didn't care.
Even if Wang Chengen wants the command of the fleet in Li Chao's hands, Li Chao can give it to him.
However, Wang Chengen didn't mean to stretch out his hand to the fleet, and he still looked like a very smart person.
Everyone was the emperor's man, and quelling the rebellion was the first goal.
As long as it doesn't affect this goal, Wang Chengen doesn't want to demote the command of the army, but he wants to recruit another 180,000, and Li Chao doesn't care about him.
After the military discussion, Li Chao asked people to prepare meals.
He had a whole fish feast made.
I cook and fry it and am very rich.
Wang Chengen sat there, with a great appetite and a fierce appetite.
"I've been on the road for days, and I've eaten some dry food, and I haven't had a hot meal for a long time."
Li Chao accompanied the dishes, "Princess, now the troops are handed over to you to command, I think, just tomorrow morning, I will wave my troops to march."
Taking advantage of Liu Zhenghui's new defeat, Han Jing's side didn't have time to react and arrange, so he just hit all the way and killed them by surprise. ” Wang Chengen nodded as he chewed on a fried fish cube.
"It's okay, it's okay, although King Yue goes first, I'll come later." t1706231537:
