Qian Song

...

After learning the real reason for the peace talks between the Daqian Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were embarrassed and sighed!
They really didn't expect that they really prevented Li Cun from completing the Great Unification, at least temporarily preventing Li Cun from completing the Great Unification.

But then again, when Li Cunneng only had to recover the last small piece of territory to complete the great unification, he chose to temporarily stop the conquest of the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty, and instead stabilize his own territory and solve the hidden dangers of the Daqian Dynasty. , Let the people recuperate, the more it shows that Li Cun is a good emperor and a truly sage monarch.

This made Liu Kai and Li Yanxian really convinced Li Cun!
What made Liu Kai and Li Yanxian more convinced of Li Cun was that Li Cun didn't test them or test them, but directly appointed them as commanders, each leading 1 horses, and leading the first-line field troops.

In the Dagan Dynasty, even the commander-level commanding generals like Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie had only 1 troops directly under them.

Someone might ask, isn't that right?Didn't Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong each command an army of 10,000+?

This is not actually a conflict.

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Su Dong and the others really had only [-] troops each.

However, in order to fight the enemy, in order not to limit the performance of front-line generals, Li Cun assigned a lot of commanders with 1 horses to each theater, and put them under the command of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong.

Theoretically speaking, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong, the top military division commanders in each theater, actually only have the power to command these commands and their partners (that is, the intermediate supervisors of various armies), and they do not have the power to command these commands and intermediate supervisors. The power of the generals under the army and the supervision of the army.

Of course, theories are just theories, and after actually going to the battlefield, you have to adapt according to the actual situation.

The reason for this situation is mainly to prevent generals from becoming bigger and stronger to breed their ambitions, and then have the heart of disobedience.

Because of this mechanism to prevent military generals from usurping power, a general who can control 1 horses is actually an absolute senior general in the army.

Moreover, theoretically speaking, as long as one becomes a commander, there is a chance that Li Cun will appoint him as commander-in-chief, commanding tens of thousands of troops, tens of thousands of troops, or even hundreds of thousands of troops to fight.

Looking at it this way, Li Cun really kept his word, saying that he valued Liu Kai and Li Yanxian, he really entrusted Liu Kai and Li Yanxian with important responsibilities.

As two generals, two generals who were not considered high in the Zhao Song Dynasty, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were very satisfied, even a little surprised, to receive such a high regard from Li Cun.

However, the joy of Liu Kai and Li Yanxian only lasted until they knew which two armies Li Cun handed over to them.

After walking out from the Ministry of War, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian looked at each other and smiled wryly!

Li Cun actually asked Liu Kai to take over Guo Mian's troops. That's right, it was the one that was beaten by Liu Kai, and the 2000 elite army was almost wiped out. There were casualties among officers, and in the end there were less than [-] troops returning along the same route.

And Li Yanxian took over the Yue Heng tribe who was defeated by Li Yanxian.

Liu Kai shook his head and said, "Your Majesty really gave me two good troops!"

Li Yanxian's face became even more bitter: "You can have fun secretly, your chief general and the supervisor army were all killed by you, and you will be able to preside over the work smoothly as soon as you go. On my side, Yue Heng was demoted to become my deputy commander. The [-] generals who were captured by me at the beginning have also been returned by Zhao Song, demoted and transferred to our army to take orders, how could they ask me to take over them smoothly?"

Liu Kai said: "Give me back my stealing music. Guo Mian is the younger brother of Guo Hao. Guo Hao is now the deputy capital of Wu Dutong. You and I are directly under the Shangguan. I killed his brother. How can he make me feel better?"

Li Yanxian curled his lips: "Guo Hao is only the deputy capital, and Yue Dutong is His Majesty's confidant and favorite general. He is really a general in command."

Liu Kai said: "The county magistrate is better off now. No matter how much Yue Dutong is valued by His Majesty and how powerful he is, if you don't go to Pingzhou, how can he still put shoes on for you?"

The two walked and poured bitter water to each other.

However, neither Liu Qi nor Li Yanxian, although complaining, did not say that they would not take up the post, let alone begged Li Cun to change their army.

First of all, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian are both proud and arrogant people. They both have great confidence in themselves, and they are confident that no matter what kind of army is given to them, they will definitely be able to lead it into a strong army.

Secondly, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian are actually very clear about Li Cun's good intentions in entrusting these two armies to them.

That's right.

Liu Kai and Li Yanxian took over these two armies, and it seemed that there were problems of one kind or another.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, compared with other armies of the Dagan Dynasty, it is obvious that these two armies are more suitable for Liu Qi and Li Yanxian.

Why do you say that?

For one thing, these two armies are strong first-line armies, even though they have been beaten and maimed by Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, but their foundation is by no means comparable to those of the newly formed armies.

Secondly, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian, who have defeated these two armies, can occupy the initiative and psychological advantages as soon as they go up. For example, before anyone wants to disobey the orders of Liu Kai and Li Yanxian, they must first think about their Liu Kai and Li Yanxian's subordinates are defeated, and then they will think about whether to listen to Liu Kai and Li Yanxian's orders.

As for Guo Hao and Yue Fei?No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than Li Cun behind Liu Kai and Li Yanxian?
You know, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian are talents that Li Cun personally poached from the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty. Before anyone becomes an enemy of Liu Kai and Li Yanxian, they must first weigh whether Li Cun will deal with them?
Therefore, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian said that they disliked their respective troops, but in fact they agreed to take office soon.

As Liu Kai and Li Yanxian expected in advance, seeing Liu Kai and Li Yanxian as their chief officers, those soldiers who were defeated by Liu Kai and Li Yanxian and even had enemies with Liu Kai and Li Yanxian did not welcome Liu Kai and Li Yanxian, but They did not resist Liu Kai and Li Yanxian becoming their main generals.

This surprised Liu Kai and Li Yanxian, because they saw the most precious aspect of these two armies - obedience.

What was even more surprising was Li Yanxian.

Not only did Yue Heng not resent Li Yanxian for defeating him and taking away his position as the commander-in-chief, but he also actively cooperated with Li Yanxian in taking charge of the army.

Seeing that Yue Heng had such a broad mind, Li Yanxian concluded that Yue Heng would not always be his deputy. Sooner or later, Yue Heng would become the ruler.

Liu Kai and Li Yanxian are both generals, and they both have their own methods of leading troops.

The key point is that both Liu Kai and Li Yanxian are really capable people.

Soldiers admire the most capable people, because such capable people can not only lead them to make meritorious service and receive rewards, but also lead them back from the battlefield alive.

Therefore, with the help of Liu Kai and Li Yanxian's respective superintendents, after the initial mutual adjustment stage, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian quickly gained a firm foothold in their respective armies.

——To be honest, at the beginning, neither Liu Kai nor Li Yanxian liked their supervisor very much, thinking that his supervisor was sent by Li Cun to monitor them, but later, as the two sides got along with each other, Only then did Liu Kai and Li Yanxian know that the supervising army of the Dagan Dynasty was not the same as the supervising army of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. The supervising army of the Dagan Dynasty would not restrict them from commanding the army, but it was also the greatest help for them to command the army.

This also made Liu Kai and Li Yanxian even more admire Li Cun who invented the military supervision system!

At the same time, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian are also very satisfied with their respective armies.

In Liu Qi's view, the soldiers of their army are obedient, have excellent military skills, and have a strong will to fight. They are definitely first-class troops.

In addition, as the main force on the front line, Liu Kai's and Li Yanxian's weapons and equipment, food and supplies are all the most elite, and they are sufficient.

This allowed Liu Kai and Li Yanxian to finally bid farewell to the original second- and third-rate troops and become real senior generals.

The only thing that made Liu Kai and Li Yanxian feel a little regretful and even a little bored was that not long after they took control of their respective armies, the Dagan Dynasty and the Zhao Song Dynasty signed a truce, and they had to withdraw from Shaanxi temporarily.

Regarding this, Liu Kai and Li Yanxian were deeply concerned-they felt that without their previous desperate resistance, the Gan army might not have to withdraw from Shaanxi, but would directly penetrate the Sichuan-Shanxi area and capture the cowardly and despicable Zhao Zhao alive. After that, let Li Cun of Shengming complete the unification.

Fortunately-

Liu Kai and Li Yanxian knew that it was absolutely impossible for Li Cun, an emperor of the ages, to keep the Sichuan-Shanxi area, the territory that the Central Plains dynasty must win, away.

Therefore, they are only temporarily withdrawing from Shaanxi. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely come back to revenge.

After leaving Shaanxi, Liu Kai followed Wu Lin and Wang Yan to Hedong to fight against the invasion of the Jinxia coalition forces, while Li Yanxian followed Zhao Linan to the south to wipe out the routs, bandits, and rebels who were intensifying...

……

Yanfu Palace, Imperial Garden.

Two young women dressed as palace maids sneaked towards the base of the wall.

One of the thin and tall girls said to another young woman who was small and dainty but had a pair of gigantic figures: "Sister Cao, can you and I really escape from this palace?"

Sister Cao, Cao Sanbao, the second concubine of King Ji Zhaoxu, said: "Don't worry, I have already found out that the secret road is behind this wall. You and I only need to climb over this wall to enter." That secret road, and then you and I can escape to Fan Lou through this secret road. There are a lot of people coming and going in Fan Lou. As long as you and I dress up as men, we will definitely be able to get out. Then you can see your uncle."

Although Cao Sanbao said so, Sister Luo, Aunt Luo, the fiancée of Xinwang Zhao Zhen, still asked with some concern: "Is it true that the imperial palace can escape so easily?"

Cao Sanbao said: "Of course not, but since I entered this Yanfu Palace, I have been preparing to escape. How can anyone else compare to me? You can rest assured that I will take you with me, and I will definitely let you escape safely."

Aunt Luo was silent for a while, then retreated and said: "Otherwise, I'd better not run away. I'll go and ask the empress, maybe the empress will see me pitifully and help me go to bed as soon as possible, so that my family can also get amnesty. You can ask the imperial doctor to treat my father. It's better than me escaping like this. If I'm caught, my family will be hurt. Besides, it's my turn to go to bed soon, otherwise I'll wait Waiting for the official? Maybe, I'm lucky, His Majesty will turn over my brand tonight."

Seeing that Aunt Luo seemed to be giving up on the "prison break", Cao Sanbao finally found someone who was willing to "break out" with her. Are you sure you have time?"

When Aunt Luo heard this, she fell silent again—this was what she was most worried about, and it was also the main reason why she chose to "break out of prison" with Cao Sanbao.

Cao Sanbao said again: "Your elder brother said that uncle's wish now is to see you. You won't let uncle regret it?"

Hearing what Cao Sanbao said, Aunt Luo's heart was shaken, and she couldn't help firming up a little.

Seeing that Aunt Luo's eyes became firm, Cao Sanbao continued to persuade: "There are nearly ten thousand women in the palace, no one will notice that you and I are missing. After you have seen Uncle, if you are worried about being held accountable, you can go back the same way and continue. Waiting for him to flip your sign, it won't matter."

Aunt Luo felt that what Cao Sanbao said was a little reasonable, so she made up her mind to visit her seriously ill old father first, and then hurried back to wait for Li Cunlin to help her, and then rescued her family.

The two came to the bottom of the wall, where there happened to be a big locust tree growing close to the palace wall.

Cao Sanbao said to Aunt Luo: "I'll climb up first, make sure there's no danger, and then I'll pull you up."

What was unexpected was that Cao Sanbao was surprisingly flexible, and she climbed up the tree without much effort.

But as soon as he passed his head over the palace wall, Cao Sanbao was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head!

It turned out that on the other side of the palace wall, there were more than 100 guards from the Tiger and Leopard Camp patrolling.

At this moment, Aunt Luo, who was under the tree, exclaimed "Ah" in an inappropriate way!
When Cao Sanbao heard this, it's okay. Doesn't it mean that the guards must be brought over? !
Cao Sanbao quickly put a finger to his mouth, then lowered his head and gave Aunt Luo a "shh"!
But as soon as Cao Sanbao lowered her head, she saw a figure that made her three souls fly out, and then her hands and feet softened, and then she fell from the tree.

The palace wall is more than one foot high, which is nearly four meters. If a person falls to the ground from such a high place, he will definitely not die, and he will also be injured.

Therefore, after his body was vacated, Cao Sanbao couldn't help but close his eyes: "It's over! My life is over!"

"boom!"

"Ok!"

Cao Sanbao, who closed her eyes tightly, hurried to touch her own body after hearing a muffled groan.

But before Cao Sanbao confirmed whether she was injured, Cao Sanbao touched a thick arm that did not belong to her.

Cao Sanbao was so scared that he quickly opened his eyes!

Immediately, Cao Sanbao saw a face looking down at her!
At the same time, Cao Sanbao also figured out her current situation. It turned out that she was hugged by someone around the waist.

It is not difficult to deduce from this that she must have been caught by this man.

This is of course Cao Sanbao's luck.

It's just that Cao Sanbao didn't have the slightest joy of surviving after the catastrophe because of his luck.

Cao Sanbao raised his head and greeted the person who caught her with a sad face: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty"

That's right.

The person who caught Cao Sanbao was Li Cun who was inspecting the growth of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn nearby...
