Chapter 675: Plain attack on grasslands and wilderness

Li Xian did not pretend to be a polite and polite person, and Liu Hongji did not pretend to be a loyal minister or a martyr. He said that it was a little bit like a hit, but this conversation was not complicated and difficult. Liu Hongji needed a step down, so Li Xian gave him one. Liu Hongji needed a step to get in, so Li Xian gave him another one.

This is what everyone has their own needs, simple and direct.

The only thing that made Liu Hongji feel a little uncomfortable was that after the conversation was over, he discovered that the general of the Yanyun Army's heavy armored Modao Camp must have been promoted to Duke Xiong Kuohai, who had to be promoted to the title of Duke, actually took a branch that he found from somewhere, barefoot, rolled up his trousers and put down a small pond. In just a moment, he stabbed six or seven koi in the pond, each weighing four or five kilograms. It would take many years for the owner of the house to grow so big. However, the owner of Xiong Kuohai might have tried some effort, but was stabbed to death by Xiong Kuohai so roughly.

People with such status actually have such a childlike playful heart, which makes Liu Hongji a little confused.

"Lord, this carp is obviously raised in the wild, and it is fat and oily!"

Xiong Kuohai shouted at Li Xianyang with a bloody fish in his arms.

Li Xian glanced at Xiong Kuohai and then said angrily: "It's a waste of resources!"

Xiong Kuohai was stunned, and Liu Hongji was stunned.

Is Liu Hongjileng still the King of Yan to know the goods? If you take out the light golden koi to sell, a live fish will be worth one or two gold. If you meet someone who likes this thing, it will not be a problem to sell it higher. The most important thing is that koi viewing and pond games require this elegant style, but Xiong Kuohai actually poked it to death with a broken tree branch, which is indeed a waste of resources.

But Li Xian's next sentence made Liu Hongji even more stunned.

Li Xian walked quickly to Xiong Kuohai, looked at the koi in his hand and couldn't help but scold him, "It's already rotten like this, how can you eat it?"

Xiong Kuohai lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. Seeing this scene, Liu Hongji couldn't help but twitched a few times.

Before leaving Liu Hongji's house, Li Xian took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to him and said lightly: "This is a scald medicine made by the Second Department of Junji and Guard. The wound on your face is almost healed, but using this thing may ensure that your face does not change color. After burning, it will not look good or be useful to you."

Love for beauty is a woman's nature, but it is definitely not a woman's patent. Liu Hong is basically a person with a good look. If this face is lost, he will feel extremely uncomfortable.

After taking the medicine bottle thrown by Li Xian, Liu Hongji solemnly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving the medicine."

He held the porcelain bottle, his tentacles were slightly cool, but he didn't know what was wrong. It was this small bottle of burn medicine that made him feel a lot warmer.

Li Xian smiled and walked out of the yard, without stopping for a long time and went back to his residence. Now that he has a special status, he naturally will not live in the Qi Palace again. The new emperor Li Chengde originally asked for Li Xian to live in the Tai Chi Palace, but Li Xian did not agree. He had to do a good job of face. Even if everyone knows that Li Chengde is just a puppet, he still has to have the minimum respect for this emperor, even if this respect is indeed too false.

He lived in General Tiance's mansion, which was the original military prefecture office in Chang'an City.

When he returned to General Tiance's Mansion, the new Minister of War Zhang Gongjin was already waiting for him here. When Li Xian got off the carriage, he saw Zhang Gongjin standing respectfully at the door to greet him, he nodded slightly and walked into the yard. The military government office occupied a huge area, which was not much smaller than the palace city. At most, the military government office stationed 30,000 troops in the military government office station, which shows how vast the yamen occupied.

As he walked along the corridor, Zhang Gongjin followed behind him, with a humble attitude and a solemn expression.

"I sent someone to count the inventory of the Ministry of War overnight, and went to the Ministry of Revenue and Fang Xuanling, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to check the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of War has armor, weapons, and clothes that are enough to equip the 200,000 troops, and the money and grain of the Ministry of Revenue is not a problem. Moreover, Xingluo Cang was under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was used during wars, the grain in Xingluo Cang still had at least 15 million stones and 3,000 s of grain in each cellar, and most of them were full, which was enough for the imperial court to use troops."

"I will let Liu Hongji find you after this matter. You can just send troops to him as much as possible."

Li Xian sat down on the chair, thought for a while and ordered: "There are still famines hundreds of miles away near Chang'an, so naturally, it is necessary to provide disaster relief. At least the victims need two meals a day, which is very important. The important location in Hedong is very important, and the people must not be in chaos, so they must also allocate food. The navy gathers grain from the navy, and the people are not trivial. When you go back, you ask Fang Xuanling to be more careful and not miss it."

"I obey the order."

Mr. Zhang nodded.

He used the word "Suanzhi", which was obviously somewhat beyond the ritual system.

"Don't test anything in front of the lonely, and don't behave like your cleverness."

Li Xian looked at him and said in a calm tone: "The emperor is in the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City. If you want to follow the order, you can go to the palace. If your mind is all on this, how can I use you with confidence?"

Zhang Gongjin blushed and lowered his head awkwardly.

...

...

"Hexi, Guanlong counties, these places are important."

Li Xian didn't want to get involved in the topic just now. After taking a sip of tea, he continued to say, "You are the Minister of War, so you can recommend a few candidates to Gu. There are at least 100,000 troops in Taiyuan County, and the counties in Guanlong should not be underestimated... Who can go, and if you go, you can make contributions?"

"I think..."

Zhang Gongjin thought for a while and said, "The aristocratic families of Guanlong counties and the generals of Taiyuan defenders should not suppress these people now, but appease them first. Therefore, it is not advisable to send generals to lead their troops to prevent unnecessary trouble. Especially the aristocratic families of Guanlong counties are waiting and watching. If the suppression is too fierce, it will not be conducive to the stability of the court."

"This is a good statement."

Li Xian nodded and said, "Who can stabilize the northwest for the sake of the Lord?"

"It must be necessary to have one or two important officials of the court."

Zhang Gongjin pondered for a while and said, "You can ask Lord Pei Ji to come here. After the Emperor Taiyuan started his army, all the families in Guanlong were contacted by Lord Pei Ji. If you invite him to go, those families will naturally understand your intention. If you comfort me more, it will not be a problem to stabilize the counties in Guanlong. As for Taiyuan County... I think the most suitable person..."

"She can't."

Before Zhang Gongjin could finish speaking, Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Switch another person."

Zhang Gongjin was stunned and sighed in his heart.

"In addition, the one I think is the most suitable one is the Left Pushe Xiao Yu of Shangshu."

He glanced at Li Xian, and saw that His Highness Yan's face was normal, then continued: "Xiao Yu is the closest relationship with the Tian family, he is considered a royal relative, and has a high position and power, enough to represent His Highness. But... there is a 100,000 army in Taiyuan County. I will tell you the truth, and I am worried that Xiao Yu will have a strange intention."

Li Xian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly without comment.

Seeing that the King of Yan did not object to his thoughts, Zhang Gongjin pondered for a while and continued, "This person's attitude is not clear now, and he has such an important task. If he has any dirty thoughts after arriving in Taiyuan and has plans to join forces with the Taiyuan defenders, although it will not shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, it will probably affect His Highness's use of troops to Dongdu and Hebei."

"Xiao Yu was strongly praising the establishment of Qin King Li Shimin as the crown prince. Now Li Shimin is still in Jingxiang area, and Li Xiaogong is also there. The two men's troops are no less than 100,000. If Xiao Yu rebels in Taiyuan, it will be echoing Li Shimin, one in the south and one in the north. If His Highness wants to eradicate the disaster, it will be quite difficult to arrange the troops."

"Handsome and stern words."

Li Xian nodded and said, "You go back to work on the Ministry of War first. As for whom to send to Taiyuan, I will think about it again."

"I'm leaving."

Zhang Gongjin bowed and left the study. Thinking of the murderous intent flashing in King Yan's eyes when he just said that the man was the most suitable. He was still scared now, and the cold sweat on his back was particularly uncomfortable when the wind blew it on his body.

He originally wanted to say that no one except Princess Pingyang is suitable to go to Taiyuan. But Li Xian refused so resolutely that he did not dare to continue talking.

After Zhang Gongjin left, Li Xian remembered the drunk woman who was drunk on the wall of Xuanwu Gate, and sighed slightly, saying in his heart that I can't repay you any favors. I already feel guilty. How can I force you to do something else? I can't give you much, live a quiet and peaceful life, this is what I can do my best to give you.

...

...

After sitting in the study for half a day and dealing with some urgent court affairs, Li Xian sat upright and stretched his body, got up and walked to the window and opened the window. The evening breeze blew in with a hint of coolness, and felt much more comfortable. There was a thick stack of memorials on his desk, and these things did not enter the Tai Chi Palace Imperial Study room at all.

He looked back at the memorials and frowned slightly. Most of the sixty or seventy memorials were reported by officials, which was annoying. These people are still testing his bottom line, which made Li Xian feel a little unhappy.

Standing at the window, he took a few breaths of the air outside and saw Ye Huaixiu walking slowly into the yard with Jiaer. Li Xian picked up the corner of his mouth, pushed open the door and walked out.

"I have met my lord."

When Ye Huaixue and Jiaer saw Li Xian coming out, they smiled and bowed. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Li Xian smiled and said, "You claim to be a good minister and a concubine, but it's not good to put them together."

Ye Huaixue's face turned slightly red. He did not take this sentence, but took out a secret letter from the cuff and handed it to Li Xian and said, "The news came from the grassland, which was sent by Qingqing. Originally, the matter of the Junji Guard was handed over to Xie Yingdeng, but the line on the grassland was still in my hands. Qingqing and Huaisu seemed to be worried about letting others pass the message. Even the Junji Guard knew the path of the line, and Xie Yingdeng didn't know it, so I simply didn't tell him."

"It's okay if you keep this line."

Li Xian took the secret letter and took apart, took a few glances, then rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "These two people have done a lot of big things on the grassland in recent years, fought a lot of wars, destroyed many tribes, annexed many grasslands, plundered many cattle, sheep, horses, and herdsmen, so that their hearts were wild..."

He sighed and said in a helpless tone: "Even that girl Qingqing is so brave now, she actually wants to lead her army from Youzhou to find Dou Jiande's bad luck."

"Good thing!"

Ye Huaixue smiled and nodded and said, "Qingqing's Khitan cavalry have been in elite battles over the years. If she enters the pass, it will be much easier to deal with Dou Jiande."

Li Xian shook his head and said, "But they have no experience in fighting in the Central Plains."

"There are many cities in the Central Plains, how can we compare to the endless grasslands? The Central Plains are more difficult to attack, and the grasslands are good at field battles... different. If we fight too many fields, it does not mean that we know how to conquer cities and territory."

I don’t know what happened, but when I heard the word “field battle”, Ye Huaixu and Jiaer’s faces turned red at the same time. Then the two of them understood something from each other’s eyes, and then their faces became even more red.

Li Xian was stunned and came over and smiled embarrassedly when he understood, "Let's take you together..."
