In fact, in Li Po's eyes, Wang Zhibian was not that mediocre. Otherwise, according to Li Po's own temperament, how could Wang Zhibian be put in charge of Daizhou's military?
Wang Zhibian's greatest strength is that he is not only hard-working but also very obedient. Since he followed Chen Xiaoyi and returned to Li Po's command, he has never done anything whether he is on the battlefield or in the place where he works, whether he is above or below others.
I am proud of myself and have no intention of complaining.
This is a man who works down-to-earth and has no intention of forming cliques. He is very close to Chen Xiaoyi, but it is because the two of them have overcome difficulties together in Yanmen and have a very deep personal relationship.
Well, having said so much, the most important point is actually that there are too few talents. Otherwise, Wang Zhibian is lucky.
He is currently in charge of the Ministry of War as a minister. Even if he ends up in this position due to lack of talent, it is actually a good thing for him.
Besides, there are a lot of part-time jobs these days, and Li Po has always been nostalgic. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, or Li Po leaves Huarong Road, the glory and wealth of his lineage will not be lost.
"If there is a general change in the Tang army, and they move their troops to the west, or they go into Shu to attack Xiao Mian... then..."
After receiving some interference, Wang Zhibian immediately kept his story short. In his position as Minister of War, he had gradually and deeply realized the truth of these four words, "Too much talk leads to misunderstanding".
Of course, no matter what way he spoke, Li Po couldn't be overly satisfied with what he said, but it couldn't be said to be disappointing, because he had already thought about this many times.
It's just that he would save some face for Wang Zhibian in front of others, and said with a smile: "In that case, wouldn't I be regarded as nothing? The two families have been fighting for several years. Could it be that with the Li family and his son, I am still the Daizhou of the past?
Child?"
Several people were silent for a moment, and then they all laughed.
This reminded Li Po of the time when he was at Mayi Racecourse, when more than ten or twenty team members were gathered together to listen to him. At that time, he was very cautious, fearing that he would lose his life inexplicably, but he was not alive.
It is up to oneself to have to fight tooth and nail to survive.
Now, he seems to have firmly grasped the neck of the goddess of destiny, but he has to place a heavy bet and take a gamble. What kind of nonsense is he seeking? Glory and wealth? An emperor's legacy for thousands of years? Or even
Is it a name that will last forever?
Such emotion flashed through his mind, and then disappeared without a trace, because there was no need to continue thinking like this. Little people have their own worries, and big people have their own worries.
Inadvertently always thinking of the "good" life in the past cannot mean anything else, it can only mean that you are old.
Only he knows whether Li Po's mentality is old or not, but his body is young and energetic. With the hardware conditions, it will naturally drive the software, making his thinking extremely flexible.
Just like now, he has determined that the few people can't come up with any solution after discussion. It will take two or three days to get the news from the river back to Jinyang.
And the generals by the river are not gods. Whatever information he wants, they can find it out and give it to him, so in the end it's just a word.
It is impossible for such a big move by the Tang Army not to reveal clues... and what Luo Shixin and Zhao Shixun said is indeed reasonable. Regardless of whether the Tang Army increases its troops or lures the enemy, a battle this year is inevitable.
With Li Gui dead, Liang Shidu's men will definitely be unable to survive alone, and Xiao Mian is also adding to the chaos. It is the stupidest strategy to choose to watch the fire from the other side, so no matter what, this year he will rush across the Yellow River and fight to the death with Li Yuan.
In this way, what happened to the Tang army was actually not that important, it was just a question of the timing of mobilizing troops.
If the Tang army was well prepared, this year's battle would have been extremely brutal. It was very likely that the two families would fight to the death, allowing others to take advantage.
If the Tang army was in disarray, there would be nothing to say. It seems that the throne should have been held by someone named Li. What would happen if he was replaced by Li Po?
The Chang'an nursery rhyme from that time was very interesting, "Peach plums, floods surround Yangshan."
For a peach Li, it is said that many people named Li lost their heads. Li Yuan, a guy with both a surname and a name with three dots of water in his name, escaped from disaster because of his family background, but he was also jealous...
Later, Li Mi got into trouble and compiled another version, saying that there were peaches and plums, and the queen was traveling around Yangzhou... This was even more unreliable than the previous one, and it was so complete that it would be a ghost if a well-educated person like Li Mi really believed it.
In fact, everyone can't figure out the origin, and they all attribute it to nursery rhymes.
You see, what Li Po is thinking about right now is whether he should come up with a "nursery rhyme" to fool people...
Such an idea is a bit far-fetched, but once he knocks Li Yuan to the ground, he probably won't have to bother himself. There probably won't be many people who are willing to be the mouthpiece to spread rumors.
Li Po himself found it a bit funny, and his expression became more relaxed. He waved his hand and began to make a concluding speech.
"Well, now that the weather is bad, we are still far from raising troops. There is still room for many things, so there is no need to rush... The Ministry of War should do its own thing first. Don't look around. You can send orders to the ministries along the river and let them investigate carefully and make plans.
The movement of the Qing and Tang armies is enough."
Wang Zhibian breathed a sigh of relief... It was as if he had carefully explored an unknown territory and then quickly turned back, which made him feel extremely at ease.
When it comes to participating in the prediction and formulation of strategies, he feels extremely guilty, but if he turns back to specific operations, it is another matter.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the troop deployment document has been prepared. You only need to read it and send it out at the right time... The military officers and generals in all counties are also looking forward to it, hoping to make achievements with Your Majesty. Drills will be held everywhere in the winter."
We haven’t stopped yet, our morale is ready, we have no worries about food and grass, and everything is ready..."
"It's just that the king said that he needs to recruit soldiers and ensure the farming season, but he needs the help of all the guards..."
From these words, we can see some characteristics of the civil and military ministers under Li Po's rule. There are many people who can do things, but there are very few people who are high-ranking and can leave some classic sayings.
In fact, there are not many people in any period who have a lotus tongue but a deep chest.
But Wang Zhibian's superfluous words finally made Li Po dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes and said to himself, "Do you want me to personally order the generals of the Wei Mansion to bow to the Ministry of War? In that case, you will suffer
Got it?
Compared with Yang Gongren who volunteered to take the blame and get things done, you are not even a little bit worse.
"The Wei Mansion still has no territory under its jurisdiction, and there are many generals outside. How can you ask them to help you? Before the war, the Ministry of War still has heavy responsibilities. Don't worry about anything else. Just go ahead and do it."
