Chapter 54 Wang Maozhong panicked

It's really not surprising to say anything!

Question the combat effectiveness of the Right Guard, question the ability of the Right Guard General Gao Guangji, question the level of the Right Guard General, and even the overall strength of the Central Imperial Guard.

These four doubts, when Pei Min said it, instantly scared Wang Maozhong and Gao Guangji.

Li Longji also looked shocked and a little uneasy.

The Central Imperial Guard is an army that directly governs the emperor and serves as guards of the emperor, palace and capital.

The Sixteen Guards of the Nanya, Wanqi, Yulin Army, and Longwu Army all belong to the Central Army.

In order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, the number of the central imperial guards has been maintained at around 150,000, which is the core strength of the Li Tang Dynasty.

This is also the army that Li Longji truly possessed. As for the military power in the hands of the Jiedu governors such as Pinglu, Fanyang, Shuofang, Hexi, Anxi, Hedong, and Longyou, it is certainly the military horses of the Tang Dynasty, but the power mobilized is in the hands of the Jiedu governors.

Pei Min openly questioned the strength of the Central Imperial Army, which was almost the same as questioning the hard power in Li Longji's hands.

Pei Min also knew that his words were almost equivalent to revealing Li Longji's scars, but he had to say so.

How did the Tang Dynasty perish?

It is because the Central Army is too weak and the power of the vassal states is too strong, which directly leads to the strong ministers and the kings.

How tempting is the throne of the emperor? Bian Shuai's strength is even higher than that of the king. Who can guarantee that there is no dissatisfaction?

The key to the Bians General's growth was Li Longji's dynasty. Because Li Longji was greedy for pleasure, all the civil and military officials and generals in the capital were drunk and dreaming of death, resulting in the strength of the Central Imperial Army being extremely low and defeated in one battle.

Only with the sweeping force, An Lushan swept across most of the Tang Dynasty, forcing Li Longji to escape to Western Shu for refuge.

One of the main forces to quell the Anshi Rebellion was the Anxi Army led by Li Siye, the other one was the Shuofang Army led by Guo Ziyi, and the other one was the Hedong Army led by Li Guangbi.

It can even be said that during the entire Anshi Rebellion, the central imperial guards, the core force of Li Tang, did not make any achievements, and were in a state of defeat and fleeing throughout the whole process.

Why did An Lushan dare to rebel?

It’s not that An Lushan was born with a rebellious bone, but that his strength was far superior to the Central Imperial Army of Li Tang. In his opinion, the world was within reach. He was a Hu person and had no loyalty to Li Tang. Why didn’t he rebel?

The end of the Central Imperial Army lacking deterrent strength is too terrible. Pei Min intends to stop the Anshi Rebellion. Since he is aware of the problem of the Central Imperial Army, he must say even if he is unpleasant and honest.

It is for the overall situation and for Li Longji's sincerity.

"You, Pei Min, what are you talking nonsense! What do you want to do? Rebellion!" Wang Maozhong was completely angry and yelled at Pei Min to cover up his panic.

Wang Maozhong has always regarded himself as Li Longji's first confidant, and Jiang Jiao, Gao Lishi, Pei Min, Yang Sixu and others cannot compare with him.

Li Longji was indeed very good to Wang Maozhong, the general of the auxiliary country, the general of the left military guard, the inspector of the school and the commander of the escort, and the Duke of Huo had a series of titles on him.

He is arrogant and acts without any scruples. He despises and mocks Gao Lishi and Yang Sixu many times, and does not take Jiang Jiao and Pei Min in his eyes. In his early years, he gave him a little wink because Pei Min had the position of Chief Censor, and now he doesn't look at him.

Even people like Gao Lishi have to walk around when they meet Wang Maozhong.

It is also conceivable that Wang Maozhong's arrogance is that with his intentional matchmaking, Ge Fushun, the general of the left leader, became his relatives, Lu Longzi, Tang Diwen, the general of the left supervisor, Cheng Jihou, Li Shoude, the general of the right military guard, Wang Jingyao, the general of the right military guard, Gao Guangji, the general of the left military guard, Shi Shoudao, the chief of the left military guard... and his three sons, Wang Shouzhen, is the servant of the crown prince, Wang Shoulian is the order of the crown prince's family, and Wang Shouqing is the order of the crown prince's mansion, and almost all the important positions in the crown prince's mansion were captured in one go.

Almost half of the Central Imperial Guards were Wang Maozhong's people, and Pei Min's doubts about the Central Imperial Guards were also suspected of the power in his hands.

Once Pei Min succeeds, Wang Maozhong’s layout over the years will be ruined.

Wang Maozhong was completely panicked and even shouted "rebellion" to Pei Min.

Li Longji looked at Pei Min, Wang Maozhong and Gao Guangji for a while!

Pei Min's eyes were not ruthless, and there was nothing unusual.

Wang Maozhong's eyes couldn't hide his panic.

As for Gao Guangji, he was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at each other.

After a while of silence, Li Longji finally looked at Pei Min and said, "Pei Qing, are you saying this too serious? Perhaps my mistake in employing people, Gao Guangji is indeed incompetent to cause the right guard to be weak and not behave like this. It would not be like this for the entire Central Imperial Guard."

Gao Guangji felt dizzy and knew he was finished. Li Longji had confirmed that he was incompetent and even admitted that he made a mistake in hiring.

In this case, he had no chance to turn around.

Regret, annoyed!

Gao Guangji just wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he fight for a woman with Guo Wenbin? It was really not worth it to ruin his bright future for a woman.

Wang Maozhong didn't care about Gao Guangji at this moment. He was just a general of the Right Guard. He still had the opportunity to promote his foundation. He was the key to rushing forward to Pei Min without hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, Pei Min is just exaggerating, afraid that the world will not be in chaos. How can he, a foreign minister, doubt the strength of the Central Imperial Guard? What is his intention?"

Pei Min ignored Wang Maozhong's existence at all. He scolded him with a shrew and only turned things around. The only person he had to convince was Li Longji, and there was no need to care about Wang Maozhong's feelings at all.

"Your Majesty! When I learned about the strength of the Right Wei Guard, I specially asked the four generals a question! How do the soldiers of the Right Wei Guard compare with the Shen Ce Army? Their only answer is that they cannot be compared. With the current organization of the Shen Ce Army, they can fight at least four times the Right Wei Guard soldiers! There is no accident... They are all good people who have experienced fighting on the battlefield, and I believe in their judgment! Your Majesty should know how the Shen Ce Army came from! The Shen Ce Army has another nickname. I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of it, the First Army in the Frontier!"

"I believe that Shen Ce Army is definitely worthy of this title. It is not because of how many abilities I have, but because of the establishment of Shen Ce Army, Your Majesty has given too much convenience. Weapons are the best, armor is the best, soldiers are the best, and supplies are the most abundant. Faced with His Majesty's love, if Shen Ce Army cannot be known as the "First Army in the Frontier", I am embarrassed to appear in front of His Majesty."

Pei Min's words made Li Longji smile. Although the current situation made him a little angry and worried, Pei Min's words still made him feel that it was not a loss.

Pei Min did not disappoint his high expectations, and the performance of Shen Ce Army on the battlefield is obvious to all, and it is indeed good.
