The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 23

"Da da da……"

With a rush of horseshoes, Li Cunxu's thousands of soldiers who had been stationed in Zezhou finally arrived in Luzhou City.

He is the governor of Luzhou, not the governor of Zezhou, let alone the Jiedu envoy of Zezhou. He has no reason or obligation to garrison Zezhou, even though Zezhou was captured by him.

"The destructive power of the war is really not small. The originally prosperous Luzhou City has become so desolate."

Luzhou City, which has been baptized by the war, is no longer as prosperous as it was before. The originally tall and strong city wall has now become potholed, and it looks like it may collapse at any time.

The Fengyi Army originally numbered [-], but after the brutal baptism of the war, only [-] remained.

Li Cunxu led [-] troops to station in Luzhou City, and devoted all of them to the cause of city construction.

Now that Jin Wang Li Keyong has returned to Taiyuan, the affairs of Luzhou are no longer in the hands of Li Keyong. Under Wang Jianji's suggestion, Li Cunxu accepted all matters in Luzhou.

They dug trenches and cut stones, built the city wall with stones, and reinforced the outer wall, and ordered the soldiers to dispose of the corpses.Afterwards, Li Cunxu ordered people to post the Annals of the People to motivate the masses and appease the hearts of the people.He also took people to reclaim farmland outside the city, and redistributed most of the land outside the city to the people, and the people's hearts became more and more stable.

After the people's hearts were basically stabilized, Li Cunxu chose an open space in Luzhou City and built a large school yard. Around the school yard were built houses for soldiers to live in.In addition, weapons warehouses and grocery warehouses were also built to store strategic items.These are not a big deal, Li Cunxu finally built a small stable with about 300 horses in it, all of which were left over from Wang Jian and Buqu, the first horse army in the left wing of the Fengyi Army in the previous Liang-Jin War.

About a year later, Luzhou, which had been waiting for prosperity, gradually prospered.There are many pedestrians in the streets and alleys, bustling, and every household also opens their doors to welcome guests, so it is very lively.Everything seemed so peaceful, and it was completely different from the deserted Luzhou City that was besieged by Liang Jun before, as if it had never been attacked by Liang Jun.

……

Luzhou.

Wang Jianji was appointed by Li Cunxu as the training envoy and defense envoy of the Luzhou regiment. Since Wang Jianhe became the training envoy and defense envoy of the Luzhou regiment, he has been running to Li Cunxu's Luzhou governor's mansion all day long, coming in and out frequently.

There are two main reasons for running to Li Cunxu.One is that the subordinates report to the superiors normally, put forward some effective suggestions for the prevention and training of Luzhou City, and obey the propaganda; the other is to come to obey the dispatch as Li Cunxu's confidant.

Li Cunxu is currently rectifying the soldiers under his opponents. Wang Jianji has frequently been in and out of the governor's mansion these days to give advice and advice, and he has also contributed a lot.

Of course, the results of the rectification are also very effective. There were still half of the recruits, thousands of people who were like a mess, and now they have been turned into a well-trained army by Wang Jianji.

In fact, what Wang Jianhe did under Li Cunxu's command has completely exceeded the duties of the Luzhou defense envoy and regiment training envoy.But as a minister, he should be loyal and responsible, and he doesn't seem to care about doing these things.

Although Wang Jianji made great contributions in the war against Liang, he did not ask Li Cunxu for credit, but kept silent.But Li Cunxu rewarded him with silver and made him an official because of his humility and merit, and let him serve as a Luzhou defense envoy and a regiment training envoy.He also knew that he was already a member of Li Cunxu's warship, so he hugged Li Cunxu's thigh with all his heart...

Although the systems of governors and commanders are different, one belongs to the military system and the other belongs to the official position.But in fact, the governor is not as powerful as the commander of the Fengyi Army.In troubled times, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

In the same way, a small defense envoy and a regiment training envoy are not as powerful as a command envoy, but what Wang Jianji valued was the opportunity to work under Li Cunxu, not an official position.

It is better to give charcoal in the snow than to add wings to a tiger. Wang Jianji's contribution is very important to Li Cunxu. At present, Li Cunxu's staff is in urgent need of talents.Li Tai's loyalty is enough, but at present, his martial arts are not strong enough, and he must practice more if he wants to use them to the fullest.

Of course, Li Cunxu feels that he is also very inexperienced and still needs to practice.But after a year of painstaking training and asking for advice, in addition to continuously improving his martial arts, he also learned equestrianism from Wang Jianji.

Li Cunxu had just returned home that day when Wang Jianji came.

"Your Highness, I recruited a lot of strong men yesterday, and the last general has already assigned them to the city guards and patrols."

At present, Wang Jianji no longer calls him General, but His Highness.

"Well, Jianji, the training of Luzhou soldiers is completely entrusted to you. With you here, I am very relieved."

"Your Highness, it's just a matter of duty, not worth mentioning." Wang Jianji clasped his hands together.

Just then, a guard walked in.

"Your Highness, someone is asking to see you outside."

Li Cunxu asked casually, "Who is it?"

"Guo Chongtao, General Guo."

"Guo Chongtao?" Li Cunxu was very impressed. He used to be the deputy commander of the Fengyi Army. He was good at fighting and respected Li Cunxu very much. Ke Yong was transferred back to Taiyuan.I don't know what to visit at this time.

"Jianji, do you know this person?"

"Your Highness, General Guo is a real talent!" Wang Jianji said with some admiration in his tone.

"How talented can you be?" Li Cunxu asked with great interest.

Wang Jianji said: "This man was originally a close minister of the King of Jin. He was capable and decisive in his actions, and he was alert and calm in dealing with situations. Deputy Commander."

Li Cunxu thought for a while, and found that Wang Jianji was more honest and never praised others easily.

"Is he the father's man?"

Wang Jianji shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but news came a few days ago that he asked Li Siyuan to resign from Dianye's position on his own initiative!"

Dian Ye?Dian Ye is just an idle official in charge of the communication and reception of guests.It can be seen from this that Guo Chongtao may not be very popular under Li Siyuan.

Li Cunxu pondered for a moment, then said, "Please come in."

Not long after, Li Cunxu saw Guo Chongtao as expected. He was not wearing an official uniform, but a commoner, looking very weak.After he came in, he walked directly to Li Cunxu, and then saluted with fists in his hands.

"I'm going to Guo Chongtao, when I'm clumsy, I'll pay my respects to His Royal Highness!"

"Excuse me!" Li Cunxu quickly helped him up.

Time has passed, and Li Cunxu is no longer the helpless Xiaobai before, and he is extremely skilled in this kind of courteous corporal.

Guo Chongtao got up, looked at Wang Jianji again, and said, "General Wang, don't come here without any problems!"

"Don't dare, General Guo is fine too."

Li Cunxu looked at Guo Chongtao, secretly figured out his intentions, and asked with a smile on his face, "What is the purpose of General Guo's coming here this time?"

"An Shi came here to offer advice to His Highness."

"Oh?"

Guo Chongtao knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness, the world is restless now, the powerful and powerful are separatist, the false Liang Bianjing proclaims the emperor, and the people have suffered from wars for a long time. Your Highness is the queen of Jin, and the Li Tang royal family bestowed the surname Li, why not stop it?" Soldiers rule chaos and achieve the king's hegemony?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderstorm!

"Wang Jianji, take it down!" Li Cunxu was startled, this rebellious hat is not small, and nonsense can't be tolerated.

Wang Jianji was ordered to directly detain Guo Chongtao, but Guo Chongtao did not resist, and let Shi Jiantang detain him neither humble nor overbearing.

"Do you know that what you just said is a treasonous crime of treason?"

"The Great Tang Dynasty is dead, all heroes rise together, and the royal family does not exist, how can there be rebellion?"

If the royal family does not exist, how can there be rebellion?That's not necessarily the case.Li Cunxu muttered something in his heart, but he didn't refute him.Although there is a prince Li Xingyun in the Tang Dynasty who is still alive and the protagonist, but he has ambitions in the mountains and fields, he doesn't like to be called a lonely man, and wants to be a wild crane.Li Cunxu reckoned that Li Xingyun was only in his teens now, and he must be studying at the Sword House in Qingcheng Mountain. After all, it was only a few years since Zhu Wen killed the king.

"Oh? Although the Tang Dynasty is in ruins, the Three Jins and the Qi Kingdom still use the title of the Tang Dynasty, and still enshrine the Zhengshuo of the Tang Dynasty. How can you say that the Tang Dynasty is dead?"

"Forgive me to say bluntly, King Jin and King Qi only did this to resist Zhu Wen and needed the banner of righteousness, but in fact they have their own ghosts!"

"Do you dare to arrange my father? Do you not want to live? Be careful that I will send you to my father." Li Cunxu pretended to be gloomy, as if he was angry.

"I believe Your Highness will not do this." Guo Chongtao was not afraid at all, "I have been an official under the King of Jin for many years, and I already know the character of the King of Jin. Jin Wangkong has Cao Mengde's ambition, but he is small and difficult. It will be a big event. Your Highness is the only parent and son of the King of Jin, so he should be raised as the crown prince. However, the King of Jin doesn’t think so, and is still on guard against His Highness. Although he may want to experience His Highness, he ignores the idea of ​​being poor and wanting to change. reason!"

Guo Chongtao glanced at Li Cunxu, saw that he didn't mean to blame him, and continued: "Although the king of Jin is a great man with a military strategy, he is already old. Such a person is enough to separate one side, but it is not enough to dominate the world. But Li Siyuan Although the power is devoted to Jin, but this person is narrow-minded and too cruel, he is not a magnanimous king."

Seeing Li Cunxu's silence, Guo Chongtao began to speak again, seeming to be getting more and more excited, without the consciousness of being controlled by others at all.

"I have observed Your Highness for a long time. His Highness is able to treat his subordinates well, know people and make good use of them, has a broad mind, is good at seizing opportunities, and is good at defeating the enemy by surprise. With the status of Jin Wang's son, as a foundation, he will be a bright master in the future! "

"So you want to invest in advance?"

"Investment?" Guo Chongtao understood the meaning of the word after a little thought, "This word is new, and it's not wrong to say it's investment. In short, I'm here to seek refuge with His Highness."

Everyone knows that it is better to give charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake.At present, Li Cunxu's foundation is still shallow, but he is a potential stock.Guo Chongtao came here because of his potential.Of course, another reason is the setback in the officialdom. Li Siyuan is currently in power, because he once served in the Fengyi Army, he is ignored in every possible way, and Li Siyuan is not the master in his heart.

Seeing Guo Chongtao's sincere attitude, Li Cunxu couldn't help but think of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang who were in the middle of Longzhong.Will he be his own Mr. Wolong?

"I want to believe in the righteousness of the world, what do you think the plan will come out?"

Hearing this, the corners of Guo Chongtao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "The world is full of princes, intrigues, and the only way to rule the world is iron and blood!"

After a pause, Guo Chongtao said again: "Why did the Tang Dynasty perish? Although it is inseparable from natural disasters and man-made disasters, the reason is that the master is weak and the ministers are strong. The military of the feudal town is too strong, so strong that it can influence the emperor's will. Wen is the best example! Now that the Tang Dynasty is dead, all the feudal towns are kings, why? Soldiers are strong but horses are strong. Short ropes cannot draw deep wells, and shallow waters cannot carry large boats. If you want to succeed, you must have Foundation. I believe that if His Royal Highness wants to realize his grand dream of hegemony, he must cultivate an iron-blooded and powerful army, and use this as the foundation to slowly map the world! In troubled times, only the army can preserve itself and expand its territory."

Tianzi Ning has a kind?Those who are strong in soldiers and strong in horses will do so.This is what Guo Chongtao said.

"The state of Jin has its own father and king in charge. I am just the son of the king of Jin. How can I control the army?"

"Soldiers are not many, but quality. Your Highness does not need to control all the troops of the Jin Kingdom for the time being. Your Highness only needs to train an elite and loyal army. With Luzhou as the foundation, we will forge ahead with determination, armor and soldiers, and wait for opportunities. When His Royal Highness ascends to the throne of King Jin in the future, he will be able to regain the command of the Jin army naturally. At that time, His Royal Highness will use this army as the backbone of the forbidden army, and other troops as auxiliary troops, and the army system can be easily formed."

"I understand what you said. Although I have commanded a war to attack Zeze, I don't know how to train troops in battle." Li Cunxu asked back with a slight smile.

"Your Highness doesn't have to do everything yourself, just leave this matter to General Wang." Guo Chongtao looked at Wang Jianji, who smiled modestly.

"Does Your Highness know about the bad people in Datang?"

"I have heard a little bit." Li Cunxu not only knows bad people, but also is very familiar with them.But that's all he said in his mouth.

"It is said that bad people were created by Yuan Tiangang, the national teacher during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty... They are all composed of all kinds of talented people with unique skills. They directly serve the royal family of Li and Tang, and supervise civil and military affairs for the emperor. Hundreds of officials, carrying out various top-secret operations for the emperor... At this time, Jin has Tongwen Museum, Liang has Xuanmingjiao, Qi has Huanyinfang, and even bad people still exist. Your Highness can follow the example of bad people and establish a system. Special organization, for His Highness!"

"What do you mean?" Li Cunxu's eyes froze, and this idea coincided with him.

"If His Highness does not give up, Guo Anshi is willing to do his best to recruit wise men for His Highness!"

Guo Chongtao knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists to salute, his respect was beyond words.

"Can I trust you?"

Li Cunxu never thought that he was the kind of person who could convince others with a single shock. He still knew how much he weighed.Besides, I have too little experience, maybe I will be deceived.The Guo Chongtao in front of him reminded him of the Mirror Heart Demon. The Mirror Heart Demon was also admonishing at the time, saying that he wanted to set up an opera theater to serve Li Cunxu, but in the end he used these actors to stab Li Cunxu to death.

"I can believe it!"
