When Zhao Zi entered the pavilion, he saw Du Zhongxiao and Han Qi sitting there, and said happily: "Taiwei, my grandfather, I have not seen each other for many times. The two are still handsome, just like at that time. I have been on the edge for several years. This time I entered the capital this time, it really seemed like a different life."

Du Zhongxiao ordered to sit down and said to him: "Over the past few wars, you have not brought down and made countless military achievements. Speaking of which, there is really no one in the world who has made more military achievements than you. This time you return to Beijing, it must be important."

Zhao Zi didn't dare to do so and said with a smile: "It's also my luck. When the Taiwei was training troops in Suizhou, I followed him. Later, on Hequ Road, I happened to be in Juyan, so I went to the Western Regions for a walk. It was in the Western Regions that I followed Mr. Han from Hexi Road and got back from Hexi Road. I am so lucky!"

Du Zhongxiao and Han Qi laughed together. To this day, Zhao Zi should be said to be the most familiar official among the generals of the Song army. He has been rescued from Tang Long Town to fight to the Western Regions, and then from the Western Regions. This time, Zhao Zi's entire army was transferred back to the capital, and because of this, he wanted to break up all the Dingxi Army under his jurisdiction, mixed with other imperial guards, and speed up the training.

In addition to Zhao Zi's troops returning to the capital, Yang Wenguang's troops on Hequ Road would also replace generals in large numbers. These two armies were the old foundation for Du Zhongxiao's training in Suizhou. Many of the generals in the army were promoted from fake camera officers when they were in Tanglong Town. After so many years, they had experience and enough military achievements, and they would be dispersed and organized into the imperial guards after the training.

Last time, the generals who returned from Hequ Road were unable to stay in the army because they had to take care of the emotions of the original imperial guards. In the end, most of them arrived at the military academy and some were idle, and their lives were not happy. This time it was different. After the war between the Dangxiang, everyone in the court, from the emperor to the ministers, understood that if the imperial guards were not completely trained, they would not be able to adapt to the new tactics. This time, the soldiers and horses on Hequ Road were the main body.

Not long after chatting, Yang Wenguang, Dou Shunqing and Yao Shouxin came in together and saluted Du Zhongxiao and Han Qi.

Today is Du Zhongxiao as the master, Han Qi and Bao Zheng as accompanying him to welcome the generals who came back from Hequ Road. In addition to Yang Wenguang and Zhao Zi, there are also Li Fugui who had just returned to the capital, all of whom were old people in Suizhou.

Soon, Shisanlang and Li Fugui arrived, and it became even more lively for a while.

Bao Zheng arrived at the end and bowed to Du Zhongxiao and Han Qi: "There is some time in the yamen, it's too late, don't blame me."

After sitting down, Du Zhongxiao called the servant and asked him to serve wine and food.

Soon after, the wine and food came up. Du Zhongxiao raised his glass and said, "We went to save Tanglong Town and open up Hequ Road. Mr. Han was the strategic commander of Hedong Road at that time. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed. Today, the capital city is reunited, which is really rare. Let's drink a glass!"

After drinking, Han Qi said, "At that time, I was in Bingzhou, and suddenly there was news that it was Taiwei Du in Tanglong Town, and he repelled Yelu Chongyuan in the first battle. He was shocked at the time. The Khitan had always been arrogant, but he didn't expect Taiwei Du to be so powerful. As a result, a few days later, there was news that the Khitan king was killed in Tanglong Town. At that time, I was shocked and couldn't describe it."

Everyone laughed and talked about the past, and it was very lively for a while.

When I was in Suizhou, no one thought he was a strong army in the world. Everyone didn't know what kind of strength he had. When Tanglong Town made military achievements, he was full of confidence for a moment and felt that he was not afraid of traveling around the world. At that time, his spirit was so high that the world was not taken seriously. Then he fought against Dangxiang, and he didn't take it seriously. Until the imperial guards were trained and the Yingtianxiang army was dispersed, his spirit could no longer be raised.

After talking for a while, Du Zhongxiao said: "This time the imperial court summoned you back to train the imperial guards. This time, unlike last time, all the generals and soldiers who were inappropriate will be eliminated. All the imperial guards will be reorganized according to the new rules. Zhao Zi's Dingxi Army has been decided by the court, and they will be disbanded and mixed with the imperial guards in the capital. As well as Yang Wenguang's troops, many generals will also be transferred back to the capital as the base of the army."

Yang Wenguang said: "We were all brought out by the Grand Marshal when we were in Suizhou. If we mainly use our two armies, wouldn't it be too much to talk about?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "What are you afraid of when you say something gossip, and you won't lose a piece of meat. However, I won't participate in the reorganization of the army. I believe that many things will depend on you. I will not participate in the specific details of this training for the entire army, so you don't have to worry about it."

Han Qi said: "It is not only the entire army's training, but also the Privy Council and the Third Yamen must be rectified together. In the future, the Privy Council's military orders are in charge of the three Yamen - perhaps not necessarily called the Third Yamen, which is in charge of military affairs. Many matters are complicated, and Taiwei Du's mind should be focused on those things. As for the imperial guards' training, you generals who come back from the front line will do it."

Zhao Zi shook his head: "We can only lead the army to fight. How can we do these things?"

Li Fugui said: "Why can't you do it? When I was in Suizhou, how did the Taiwei train the soldiers? Now you just learn how to train."

Zhao Zi said: "At that time, there were many industries in the field of entrepreneurship and field management, so we didn't have to worry about money and food. Besides, we learned together at that time. If we learned well, we would stay in the army. If we didn't learn well, we would go back to the field management. How could this be possible for the whole army to train!

Du Zhongxiao coughed and said, "Don't you leave it all to you. Over the years, the Beijing Military Academy has been teaching for so long, and there are a few officials who have learned a lot of things and will work with you. The training of the imperial guards is of course different from the training of Suizhou. However, the military academy has already had its own methods, and as long as it is slightly changed, it's enough. You are on the front line, fighting the most, and know the most about the things in the army, and you are attentive."

Zhao Zi nodded, suddenly leaned forward and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Taiwei, do you really care about this?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I have my own things to do, and I really don't participate in the training of the imperial guards. Now there are a total of 250,000 troops in Hequ Road and the north and south of Tianshan Mountains, and all the generals are enough. The most important thing is that as long as you work hard, you can do it well."

Zhao Zi looked at Yang Wenguang, but the two still didn't believe it. How could Du Zhongxiao do such a big thing if he didn't participate in it? Starting from Suizhou, the army on Hequ Road was trained by Du Zhongxiao, and it was not easy for others to do it.

Du Zhongxiao shook his head and raised his glass to persuade him to drink. The Song army used the Hequ Road army as a template and used a large number of generals who were using Hequ Road, and he was no longer suitable to participate in military affairs. This time, a large number of generals were decided by Zhao Zhen, and it was not the Privy Council that could be the master. After Du Zhongxiao returned to the capital, he told Zhao Zhen and the ministers about military knowledge for more than half a year, and the emperor was no longer the previous experience.

The Privy Council and the Three Yayas are separated from military, political and military orders, coupled with logistical independence, and human rights and financial power are in the hands of the emperor. As long as there is no major chaos in the court, the generals will have no chance to rebel. Du Zhongxiao is a person who trains the new army. He is a little different and does not participate in specific matters. Many things that had to be decided by Du Zhongxiao in the past have now been transferred to Zhao Zhen. Du Zhongxiao knows his status and does not do anything beyond his identity, which is the basis for the success of this training. If Du Zhongxiao cannot do it, the emperor will be worried and will give up halfway.

Zhao Zi and Yang Wenguang were away for many years and were not familiar with affairs in the court. When he heard that Du Zhongxiao was no longer in training in the army, he was at a loss for a moment.

Bao Zheng said: "The military power in the court cannot be controlled by one person except the emperor. This is human nature. Furthermore, the Taiwei was originally a civil servant, but he had to take charge of the army because there was no general in the army. In the future, the Taiwei can be the prime minister after the training of the imperial guards, so why should he be in charge of the military affairs again?"

Zhao Zi said: "The Chief Chief said it was so easy. If it weren't for the Grand Marshal, we could have won so many battles? Ten years ago, when Dangxiang rebelled, no one in the court had any choice. Last year, it was destroyed in one battle, how easy it was!"

Bao Zheng smiled and shook his head: "But last year, the Taiwei did not participate. After all, the Taiwei had already trained the troops, and the court also knew what the commander of the first army could do. In the future, someone would do these things, and there was no need to bother the Taiwei in everything."

Han Qi said: "The Chief of the Central Committee is right. The greatest contribution of Taiwei Du to the court is to reincarnate the imperial guards and no longer be the same as before. He destroyed Dangxiang last year and defeated the Khitan this year, which is no longer the same as before."

Zhao Zi thought for a while and nodded: "What he said makes sense. Forget it, it's better to follow the court's orders for such a major event."

Du Zhongxiao said: "This sentence is right. Just follow the instructions of the court. Don't think too much. You have been generals on the border for many years and are not familiar with the affairs in the court. Just do your duty well."

Zhao Zi and Yang Wenguang handed over to say yes.

The two of them just returned from the border and were not familiar with the affairs of the court. For them, it has become a habit to act according to Du Zhongxiao's military orders most of the time. When they come back this time, they have to change it and rely on the court orders in the future.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Du Zhongxiao turned his head and looked out the window. There were many pedestrians outside the window, and the Zhou Bridge was crowded with people and very lively. In fact, he was not a very military talent. Many things were just done according to memory. His success was not so much a personal ability, but rather a reason for the times. For the country, a person's ability is limited after all, and he did not have many things to do. Instead of mastering military power, it is better to establish a system to let the right people do the right things. Only in the future can his success affect the world.

For Du Zhongxiao, the imperial guards are just that many of the systems he expected have not been implemented yet and need to continue to do it themselves. New knowledge and new systems are not known by themselves, but they need to be promoted in practice. It is actually useless to participate in the military more. What he needs to do is to implement the new system and build a new culture, rather than a specific matter.
