The Jinzouyuan of the Dingnan Army in Chang'an was newly built in the fourth year of Zhonghe Dynasty and is located in Pingkangfang.
There are a total of 12 Jinxiuyuan, Dingnanjun, Hezhong, Heyang, Jingyuan, Shuofang, Zhexidong (two states share one), Zhaoyi, Rongzhou, Tonghua (two states share one), etc.
It is not too dense, because the place where Jinzouyuan gathers is Chongrenfang, with more than 20 people in total, and other places such as Wubenfang, Chongyifang, Shengyefang, etc. only have single digits.
To put it bluntly, it is the Office in Beijing, and it also assumes the functions of a bank. However, now that the war has begun to calm down, Jinzouyuan basically only has the function of delivering official documents and memorials and inquiring about information.
Marshal Shao didn't have high requirements for entering the Academy, and he didn't plan to build it very high-end. Some towns and prefectures still rented houses, but the Dingnan Army still spent more than a thousand yuan to build a house with two front and back entrances and stationed it there.
More than ten people looked after each other with Chang'an Horse Racing and collected information.
It was already afternoon when Xiao Qu came to Xiazhou and entered the memorial hall.
Shao Shude sat on a high chair, the dog-headed military advisor Chen Cheng, and the pen-wielding Lu Siye sat on the left and right, quietly looking at this middle-aged man in his thirties.
Xiao Qu is still a bit elegant as a scholar, but after serving as a county magistrate for two years and knowing how difficult it is to do practical things, his face also has a somewhat calm look. In short, he gives people a strange mixed feeling.
"Xiao County Magistrate is a capable official in Hezhong. This time he came to meet someone, but he is a special envoy for the Langya County Prince?" Shao Shude sat there leisurely and asked.
"I came just to be the blue bird." Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Meet the Prince of Lingwu."
Shao Shude had already resumed his status as the county king at this time. Ximen Zhongsui originally tried to test whether he wanted to be crowned king, but he refused because he didn't want to attract too much jealousy.
"The commander-in-chief Wang is the leader of the army in the river. He is a visitor from Guanbei. He is supposed to watch and help each other." Shao Shude said: "This time Tian Lingzi has taken power and wants to move the commander-in-chief to the town. I have already taken care of him. I wonder what else the king of Langya County wants?"
"Shuai Wang wants to kill Tian Lingzi with his own hands." Xiao Yu said.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Shao Shude frowned and said, "Tian Lingzi also has status, so he should die with dignity."
"Then the next best thing is that Wang Shuai wants to see Tian Lingzi die with his own eyes."
"Wang Shuai wants to come to Beijing?"
"Shao Shuai, Wang Shuai has said that to show his sincerity, the army generals in Hezhong will be stationed in Yueyang, while Wang Shuai himself will lead his own troops into Chang'an." Xiao Yu said: "We must see Tian Lingzi to attack him."
"If this is the only thing, I agree." Shao Shude said.
"One more thing..."
Shao Shude glanced at him and thought that it was just a drizzle before, but now he started to talk about the topic.
"Li Keyong in Hedong has 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers, and the king of Lingwu County also has tens of thousands of troops. These are all the troops of King Qin. In order to avoid harming the peace, Commander Wang is willing to buy wine in Liyang and invite Marshals Shao and Li to come.
Banquet." Xiao Yu said.
"Why not invite Marshal Zhu and Cheng?"
"Wang Shuai only invites heroes." Xiao Yu said unceremoniously.
Shao Shude laughed twice when he heard this and said: "This is not appropriate. Let Li Keyong use his own troops to dominate the army and meet the heroes of the north for a while."
"Shao Shuai, why bother? My general is really thinking about the court." Xiao Yu said: "Li Ke used this time to receive many benefits from my general. Since Tian Lingzi was defeated, he should have returned to Jinyang, but then
He still led his troops into the pass, which shows that he has something to ask for. My commander-in-chief wants us to talk about something, so as not to end the war and bring disaster to the people."
Shao Shude pondered for a moment. Lu Siye and Chen Cheng looked at each other, thinking about the pros and cons.
Wang Chongrong has no ambitions and no desire for expansion. He does have the motive of being a peacemaker. When they go to Yueyang to meet, no one will take advantage of them. They can each bring some of their troops there. If there is something to discuss, we can't reach an agreement.
Everyone went home to prepare their troops and prepare for war.
Of course, Shao Shude's true intention is that he doesn't want to fight with Li Keyong now, and Li Keyong probably doesn't want to do that either. Both sides have a lot of things to deal with. He wants to immigrate to Shibian, regain Huizhou, and continue the conquest.
Dangxiang in Hexi wants to reach out to the Tiande Army and Zhenwu Army; Li Keyong wants to attack the three states of Hebei in Zhaoyi, and he still has Xuanwu, Zhu Wen, Datong, Youzhou, and Chengde in his mind.
It's far from over.
It would be unwise for both sides to start a war at this time.
But Shao Shude can think rationally, but he is afraid that Li Keyong is irrational. History has proved that this person's strategic planning is not good, and it is a mess. Attack here today, attack there tomorrow, offending people in a circle, and making enemies everywhere. The territory has not expanded much.
, but the population in Hedong is "steadily" declining, and the people are getting poorer and poorer. What is the purpose?
Shao Shude did not believe that the advisers around him were parallel imports and would not plan reasonable strategic directions for him or handle diplomatic relations for him. Then there was only one reason. Li Keyong was not rational enough. He often did not listen to the reasonable opinions of his subordinates and insisted on going his own way.
.
That's the problem.
This is a military leader who is easily swayed by personal emotions, likes and dislikes. If he really has no choice, he will not bear the humiliation and bear the burden. He does not like to be able to bend and stretch. He must avenge when he has revenge, be happy, and have clear thoughts.
It is difficult for such a person to achieve great things! But he is also very dangerous. Once he is relied on, won't the other towns laugh to death?
"This matter is important. I would like to have a meeting with Li Keyong for a while. Why don't we discuss it in detail after Wang Shuai comes to Beijing?" Shao Shude thought for a while and said, "It would indeed be a good thing if we could live in harmony with Hedong."
"It would be great if Prince Lingwu agrees to this matter." Xiao Yu said with a happy expression on his face, which did not seem to be a lie.
"I heard that Magistrate Xiao is the prime minister's brother?" After deciding on the matter, Shao Shude asked again.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yun are blood brothers, but one is an official in the court and the other works locally. The Xiao family in Lanling is also a famous family. Xiao Yun and Xiao Yun are naturally closely connected and plan for the interests of the family. So.
When Xiao Qu came this time, didn't he bring some instructions from the prime minister?
"My brother is an official in the court and is quite jealous of the villains. When Tian Lingzi was in great power, he had to endure it a lot. If there is an opportunity in the future, he should have more contacts with Shao Shuai." Xiao Yu said this vaguely, but the meaning was vague.
arrive.
Why is Tian Lingzi so powerful? He has soldiers in his hands.
However, after experiencing the invasion of the army into Beijing, everyone clearly realized that the Shence Army could only frighten the people and could not fight at all. If you want to truly rely on the army to gain political influence, it is better to find someone
The generals of foreign vassals cooperated.
The Dingnan Army was so powerful that it certainly attracted a lot of people's attention. If Shao hadn't already been on the line with Ximen Sigong and Ximen Zhongsui's uncle and nephew, someone would have come to the door at this time.
After Xiao Qu brought the words to him, he left quickly. His status was very special. He was the younger brother of the prime minister and Wang Chongrong's man. For such a person to be the messenger, people had to think too much.
"Judge Chen, does Prime Minister Xiao Yu have any connection with Wang Chongrong?" After Xiao Yu left, Shao Shude directly took Chen Cheng and Lu Siye to discuss. At the same time, he also sent someone to invite brothers Zhao Guangfeng, who had been in the court for a long time.
, are naturally more aware of these situations.
"Commander, after Wang Chongrong suffered a terrible disaster, he would naturally want to find a helping hand in the court, and Xiao Yuan is a very suitable candidate. But Wang Chongrong has never cared much about affairs outside Hezhong, and Xiao Yuying also felt that this helper was not very suitable.
It’s reliable, and it’s normal to want to find another one. Currently, in the nine towns in the northwest of Beijing, the Difficulty Army ranks first in strength, and Zhu Mei, who is about to move to Fengxiang, is second in strength. If we can’t find him, we will probably look for Zhu Mei.” Chen Cheng said.
"These court officials are looking for help from foreign generals. They are playing with fire and setting themselves on fire." Shao Shude sneered.
"Commander, now that Tian Lingzi has just fallen, we are about to liquidate his party members. Not only the party members in the court, but also the party members in the outer towns." Chen Cheng lightly clicked: "The biggest party members in the outer towns are none other than the Xichuan Jiedu Envoy
Chen Jingxuan."
Shao Shude understood instantly.
The imperial court still has some prestige, but I dare not say that in other places. The positions of a large number of powerful military envoys and governors in Guanzhong, Sanchuan and other places can still be arranged.
Does the Lanling Xiao family not want to seek benefits for themselves? Does the Ximen family not want to install their own people? Even Yang Fuguang, who pretended to be ill in Lantian, is looking forward to his relatives and adopted sons taking office. Not to mention other court officials.
Many people are eager to leave the burning pit of Chang'an and work in other states.
At this time, Mr. Shao had to resort to the method of asking the mind again: What is my strategic plan? This must be clear.
First of all: collect Huizhou, deeply connect it with the three states of Xingzhou, and open up a convenient road from Lingzhou to Guanzhong. Vigorously develop the Lingzhou cash and grain base and consolidate the foundation.
Secondly: from nominally controlling the four northern roads to actual control, if possible, then conquering Shannan Dangxiang, Hexi Dangxiang, Heishan Dangxiang, Turks, Uighurs, Tuyuhun, Qibi and other tribes, that is, Fengzhou, Zhenwu Army
The fan department.
Third: There is a branch here. If it is not suitable to go south to Guanzhong, then take all the land in Longyou. There are few Han people there but there are many Tibetan people. It is suitable for raising livestock and is complementary to the Lingzhou agricultural base.
It seems that I have to continue to be a "Khan"; if it is suitable for me to go south to Guanzhong, then I will go to Chang'an, don't be polite.
Fourth: Go to Long first, and decide whether to go to Shu or not. After all, the terrain in the middle of Shu is complex and the area is self-contained. Once the generals force their troops into Shu, will they be able to get out? Will they be able to stand on their own?
?Think the worst in everything.
However, now that he knew that the court officials were carving up Tian Lingzi's inheritance, of course he had to make some preparations in advance.
Is Zhao Jian, the general of Tongsai Town in Binning, willing to go to Shuzhong? Even if he cannot win the commander-in-chief of Dongchuan and Xichuan, he can first become the governor of a large state or something like a defense historian. There is no problem with his qualifications.
I am an old soldier, and my ability to lead troops in battle is not bad. The elite troops from the northwest entering Shu are probably the same as Wang Jian and Jin Hui's elite troops from Henan entering Shu. The advantage is still quite large.
If the strategic planning is like this, once an opportunity arises, it must be planned in advance.
If Zhao Jian enters Shu and gets into a big situation, Shao Shude is not sure what his attitude will be towards him. But no matter what, instead of being divided by others in Shu, it is better to let people who have some relationship with him get a share of the pie.
Woolen cloth.
If Zhao Jian has been fighting with people locally for a long time, he will inevitably seek help from outside. Wouldn't that be an opportunity?
In short, everything can be done if it is not done in advance. If you have a clear strategic plan and make preparations in advance, you will definitely not go wrong.
