Five hundred and fiftieth chapters furious
Who is going to Kuizhou?
This is a thought-provoking question.
Among the generals in the court, Zhang Weiqing went to Jiangxi, Li Xin went to Jinling, Huang Yang and Chen Bing were in Qianzhou, Li Wei was in Yuezhou to guard against the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Shifan was in Jiangling, Huang Yong was in Yongzhou, and Pan Chongche was in western Hunan.
Zhang Huzi, who served in the Yuan Dynasty, was inseparable from Li Jiake.
In the court, the only general who is in charge of the Forbidden Army is a veteran like Kuang Yi, but since he is commanding the crossbowmen, he can still sit in command, but if he kills the enemy, it may be too much.
For today's plan, it is really difficult to find a general.
"Your Majesty, I recommend Liling Bo Pan Chongche, General Pan." Wang Ning, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, thought for a moment and said directly.
"Oh? Why is this?" When Li Jia heard him talking about Pan Chongche, Li Jia immediately recalled the former No. 1 general in Lingnan. The Northwest Army he had previously led was a serious problem for him. Fortunately, it was solved. Otherwise, he would still be there.
I really can't sit still.
"There are two reasons." Wang Ning straightened his face and said.
"First of all, General Pan is famous throughout the world. If he goes to Kuizhou, the Kingdom of Shu will definitely feel at ease."
"Secondly, General Pan has outstanding abilities, especially the Eight Banners Army under his command. They have been conquering Xiangxi Prefecture and fighting every day. They can be said to be good at conquering and fighting. Especially the Eight Banners Army is good at mountainous areas. It is like walking on flat ground in Kuizhou.
, Bashu is mostly mountainous, rugged and difficult to navigate, and the Eight Banners are just like a fish in water."
Hearing these words, Li Jia was instantly moved. Pan Chongche was indeed the best candidate.
He has outstanding abilities and is not afraid of fighting against the Imperial Army of the Northern Song Dynasty. Moreover, he is still a eunuch. Even if he finally captures Bashu, he will not be able to rebel. Without heirs, it means he has no future.
Of course, the capabilities of the Eight Banners Army are also very important. They have been fighting barbarians and have rich combat experience. If they are in the plains, they will definitely not be able to defeat the Central Plains Forbidden Army, but in the mountains, that is another matter.
The Eight Banners are my mountain soldiers, and they can be said to have shown their full potential.
Li Jia was very satisfied and said with a smile: "According to Jing Wei, the magistrate of western Hunan, since this year, more than a thousand households of barbarians have come down from the mountains and settled down to pay taxes because of the Eight Banners Army. It seems that the Eight Banners
The establishment of an army is quite necessary."
"Thanks to His Majesty's foresight and foresight, the strategy of using barbarity to control barbarism is really powerful!" Wang Ning said with admiration, which was from the bottom of his heart.
"Thanks to General Pan. If he hadn't controlled his troops well and the barbarians obeyed his command, it wouldn't have had this effect."
Li Jia smiled faintly. Although he was proud in his heart, he still had to be more modest in front of others. Didn't you see that the laymen were writing quickly? This is related to his image in the history books, so he should not be careless.
"That's it. I'll add five hundred households to Liling Bo's settlement and give him ten hectares of land as a reward. In addition, I'll give him five hundred jars of wine, two hundred pigs and two hundred sheep each, and the Eight Banners Army."
The horses need to run and eat good grass. Only by giving them a taste of sweetness in advance can they go all the way to Shu.
"In addition, you first draft a reward, appoint Pan Chongche as an envoy to aid Shu, and send it to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Then draft a troop deployment order and have it signed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Then go to Western Hunan and let Pan Chongche lead ten thousand people.
Eight Banners Army, go to Kuizhou to rescue Shu. Remember, you must command independently and don't want to be deprived of military power!"
The power of granting rewards and promotions, training, relocation, rewards and punishments rests with the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies; dispatching troops and managing logistics rest with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This cannot be chaotic, and military power cannot be careless.
Li Jia had the confidence in his heart and directly gave the order. Wang Ning was an old bureaucrat, so he was naturally familiar with drafting military orders. After a while, it was over.
Li Jia took it over and took a look at it, and nodded with satisfaction. It was full of emotion, well-founded, and skillful in allusions. It was a qualified government order.
Moreover, Wang Ning's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, which is very suitable for military affairs.
"Not bad!" Li Jia praised: "The handwriting is very good!"
"Your Majesty is so flattering!" Wang Ning replied humbly, but there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Obviously being praised by the emperor made him very proud. After all, not everyone would be praised by the emperor.
"Your Majesty!" Just when the monarch and his ministers were getting along, Tian Zhong suddenly came over with hesitation on his face.
"What?" Li Jiadun was confused.
"Weak ministers, please retire!" Wang Ning knew as soon as he saw this scene that it was a palace matter. As a foreign minister, it was best not to listen too much.
"Go down!" Li Jia waved his hand casually, and then after he left, he said:
"What is it that makes you, a young prisoner from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, hesitate?"
"Replying to the saint, the King of Yue personally wrote a letter and requested that it be forwarded to you!" Tian Zhong said in a low voice.
"Oh? This is strange. Could it be that there are fewer beauties?" Li Jia smiled. Although this abdicated king was ridiculous, he asked himself that he was still good. He had no worries about food and clothing, but he couldn't go out casually.
.
After all, the Lingnan Li family was able to survive in Lingnan thanks to the Liu family's kindness. The clans in other places were either slaughtered or kept anonymous. It is still relatively rare for people like the Lingnan Li family to be able to serve as officials.
Tian Zhong naturally didn't dare to believe it. After all, Liu Yuan's identity was too sensitive and should not be ignored.
"Let me take a look -" Li Jia shook his head and said to himself.
Liu Yuan was truly an uneducated person, and his handwriting was in no way comparable to Wang Ning's. Moreover, it was crooked, with missing strokes and broken strokes, and was extremely ugly.
However, the more Li Jia looked at it, the uglier his face became. He looked at it again and said angrily:
"I made Liu Yuan the King of Yue and gave him a settlement of 3,000 households. I never thought that there would be maggots in his food. How brave!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Tian Zhong knew what happened this time and quickly persuaded: "This may be because the Liu family is unpopular and some people are obstructing it. After all, the King of Yue treats his ministers harshly, and there are many people in the government and the public who are dissatisfied!"
"Humph, he is just dissatisfied. He even put maggots in the food and dared to put poison tomorrow. If this is good or bad, where does it put me? Outsiders still think that I am a virtuous king. I am one thing on the outside but another on the inside.
!”
Li Jia was extremely angry. If Liu Yuan had some shortcomings, public opinion would be in an uproar. And Pan Chongche, who had just been dispatched to Bashu, must be dissatisfied and might even rebel.
After all, one of the conditions for Pan Chongche's surrender was to treat Liu Yuan well.
With Liu Yu gone, Zhou Baoquan and Gao Baoxu must be in panic. They have many old ministers and generals. Not only will it be difficult to annex the Southern Tang Dynasty, but they may also self-destruct.
"Chili Lang, please delete the paragraph just now!" Li Jia frowned and said to Chi Julang who was writing quickly.
