After the leaders of each battalion left, only Li Li, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng were left in the study.

"Wenhe seems to have something to say, why not speak out?"

Watching the generals leave, Li Li stood up and sat next to Jia Xu and asked with a smile.

Jia Xu looked slightly stunned, then smiled calmly and said, "The lord's eyes are as sharp as a torch. What I think in my heart can't be hidden from my lord. Since this is the case, my lord's inquiry will be directed.

When I heard the order of the lord general in the main hall, my subordinates secretly thought about it. Our army has nearly 350,000 troops, and in addition to the 60,000 county government soldiers and 20,000 baggage soldiers, there are 270,000 soldiers. Almost all of these soldiers belong to the main camp, while our army's main camp has seven cavalry battalions and three infantry battalions. Previously, the lord sent 60,000 Wuzhu battalions and 30,000 Wuwei battalions to Sili, and garrison along Anyi and Tongguan. In addition to the original troops and horses of the three passes, the Guandong defense line gathered 100,000 heavy troops. In this way, our army could mobilize only 170,000 troops.

The lord gave the order just now, all the remaining eight main battle camps of our army were stationed in Liangzhou counties, and all of them were sent to the border line. There were 70,000 cavalry and 25,000 Wuwei camps in Huangzhong alone, with nearly 100,000 troops, and 30,000 cavalry stations on the northern border. In a blink of an eye, there were few soldiers and horses around the lord, and the counties and counties of Chang'an City and Jingzhao Sanfu were very important, but there were no main battle camps stationed.

This means that the lord dispersed all the 25 main army, with only 20,000 personal guards around him, and his subordinates also saw that the lord seemed to want to send the Jinqi Guards out. In this way, Hanyang County, Anding County and the Sanfu Place in the hinterland of Liangzhou will become a vacuum zone, and there will be no main combat battalion in the capital. If the capital is unstable and the war begins again within the Sanfu Place, how can our army deal with it?

After all, far water cannot relieve the near thirst, and the battalions are too far away from Chang'an. The closest garrison to the Tongguan garrison is hundreds of miles away from Chang'an. It is impossible to rush to Chang'an in a hurry, nor can it rescue the lord from danger!"

"Hahaha!" After listening carefully to Jia Xu's concerns, Li Li said with a smile: "Wenhe said very well, he thought very carefully, and based on the long-term, and prepared for the future. But your concerns are based on my own personal position in Chang'an. I wonder if this is the case?"

"Uh, what does lord mean? Could it be that lord doesn't want to return to Chang'an? Could it be that you want to stay in Liangzhou?" Jia Xu asked in shock.

Li Li nodded slightly with a smile on his face and said, "Wenhe guessed, I was just thinking this way! In Chang'an City and Sanfu, it's enough to have my uncle in charge, so why should I rush back and join in the fun?

What's more, Yuan Zhong and Wen You stayed in Chang'an, and there were 60,000 county government soldiers under Tietuo's tent stationed in various counties and counties at any time. If such a tight guard still has flaws. The capital is still unstable, then let it go. After the war broke out in the Sanfu of Chang'an, I will lead my troops back to Chang'an, and the rebellion will be completely quelled. In this way, Chang'an City can be long-term and stable; otherwise, if the hidden danger hidden in the dark is hidden for a long time and does not occur, the consequences will be even more serious."

After hearing this, Jia Xu thought about it and said, "The lord seems to have other words? Do you think that our army is still unstable and some Xiliang generals have ulterior motives? If this is true, why not eliminate it as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles!"

Li Li was slightly stunned and pondered: "Whether those old generals of Xiliang have hidden evil intentions, it is not known for the time being. Therefore, we cannot just guess and randomly suspect the generals in the army without any evidence based on our own guesses. If this will inevitably lead to unstable morale and everyone will be in danger. In other words, what if this undercurrent does not come from the army, but from the old ministers of the three dynasties in the court? These ministers and ministers are all scheming and hidden, laughing at everyone, but they are full of conspiracies and tricks behind their backs. If they are not careful, they will be plotted against them. These people often fail to do anything more than to make trouble. It is almost a delusion to rely on them to pacify the world; but if they interfere with it, they can make us tired of dealing with it. They are busy and busy.

Therefore, I don’t want to waste all my limited energy on them, nor do I want the generals in the army to be influenced or bewitched by them, and I send all the troops to the border as soon as possible to stay away from right and wrong. The advantage of this is that tight outside and loose inside can not only stabilize the Xiliang border, but also calmly deal with emergencies. Once the capital changes in the capital, it will have little impact on our Xiliang army. I just need to mobilize the army to calm the unrest in the blink of an eye.

In addition, my uncle has rich experience and experienced experience. The only drawback is that he has a strong desire for power. Letting him sit in Chang'an and fight with hundreds of officials in the court can also prompt him to personally experience the hardships and hardships of the superiors, so that he can eliminate his desire for power. If he and I stayed in Chang'an, maybe he would not want to control the court and instead target the finger at me, it would be more than worth the loss!

After considering many aspects, I finally decided to stay in Liangzhou and temporarily stay in Wuwei County before winter. After the weather became colder, I went to Hanyang County and Jicheng to stay in charge. Jicheng guarded the throat route between Chang'an and Liangzhou. When it entered Chang'an east, the iron cavalry could reach it in only two days and nights. It was also very convenient to go to Liangzhou counties in the west.

Half a month ago, when we collected Jicheng, I asked me to pick up my family and come to Liangzhou. I believe that in ten days, they should arrive. At the same time, the money, grain and weapons from Jiwu will be transported to Jicheng one after another. Before the winter, about 70% of the food and money will be transported, and only about 20% of the money and food will be left in Jiwu to supply Chang'an City for two years of consumption. What's wrong with this arrangement?"

"This,,,,,,,,," Jia Xu stammered indecisively, and then admitted frankly: "The lord has considered it very long-term, and his subordinates are ashamed of it. However, the lord seems to have ignored a special existence. If we lose control of him, the consequences will be extremely serious."

Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Wenhe is talking about the little emperor Liu Xie. Yes, if there is a turmoil today, whoever can control the emperor will have absolute initiative, always occupy the name of righteousness, and hold the world's bull ears! Unfortunately, many people and even some talented princes only care about the benefits in front of them, but cannot see the disadvantages and dangers hidden behind them.

Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang once said: Success is due to Xiao He and failure is due to Xiao He. This is also very suitable for the little emperor Liu Xie. However, judging from the current situation, the little emperor has greatly helped us. We cannot invite the famous scholars and literati from various prefectures and counties, but he can invite them. In addition, if he had not been in charge of the Western Capital, the princes of Guandong would have united to attack us long ago. Forget it, it is too early to talk about this matter, so let's talk about it later."

After hearing Li Li's words, Jia Xu looked extremely surprised and looked at Li Li blankly for a while, then bowed his head and pondered.

Li Li disliked Jia Xu's shock, and looked at him without getting angry. Instead, he turned his head to look at Fa Zheng who was sitting aside and listening quietly, and said with a smile: "Xiaozhi has made great progress recently. He has listened more and said less. He has become increasingly skilled in handling government affairs, and has become much more slight and has become much more steady. It is really rare. The army has been dispatched to various counties to station. I wonder if Xiaozhi wants to stay by my side, or take this opportunity to go out to the county and county for training?"

"Uh, let me be ordered by the Lord!" Fa Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then responded loudly.

Li Li said with a smile: "Don't be so polite. If you have plans in your heart, then you can tell it directly; if you haven't considered the place, then you will order it directly. Hahaha!"

Fa Zheng immediately stood up and said respectfully: "I will not hide it from the lord. My subordinates have really not decided where to go. Please make an announcement."

"Since that's the case, I will just say it." Li Li said with a smile: "My younger brother Li Xian is only seventeen years old. Although he has made many military achievements before, he is a little immature and has an unstable mind. This time, he became the magistrate of the Beidi County and did not directly take charge of the troops, but instead took charge of the livelihoods of more than 100,000 people. For him, it was a bit difficult for him and was unable to meet his strength. At the beginning, the general was also considering that the borders of the Beidi County were unstable, the Qiang people were in chaos in the territory, and the Southern Huns were rampant outside, so he was asked to guard the important town in the north.

Now that I saw Xiaozhi becoming more and more steady, I was very pleased. I couldn't help but think that Li Xian was about to go to Beidi County to take office. Xiaozhi and Li Xian were about to be of the same age and were easier to communicate. You can discuss it together when encountering problems, or you can experience and grow together. Let's do this. I appointed Xiaozhi as the governor of Beidi County and also the military officer of Huben Camp. I went to Beidi County with Li Xian. However, he still had to go to Chang'an, and you can follow General Dian Wei to go to Beidi County first.

When going to Beidi County, Xiaozhi can show his talents in government affairs, vigorously encourage the people to cultivate farming, implement the support and encouragement policies stipulated by the imperial decrees, rectify the administration of officials, and severely punish bullies and idle people. In terms of military affairs, you can participate in the war in the Huben Camp, discuss military aircraft with four leaders including Dian Wei, Tarus, Duan Wei and Li Meng, and assist Dian Wei in handling military affairs. When encountering difficulties, you can ask Tarus, Duan Wei and others for advice. Especially Duan Wei, who is cold-hearted and kind-hearted, is not good at speaking, but is quite talented and both civil and military. You can ask him about military aircraft, or you can ask him about many things about governing local government affairs. The deputy commander Tarus, also has military talents and is taciturn, but often hits the word. Leading the army and fighting is definitely a rare general.

In short, when Xiaozhi goes to Beidi County, the military and political affairs can participate in it, in order to experience all aspects, and will definitely be used for you in the future, and sooner or later, give you the opportunity to stand alone. What about Xiaozhi's intentions?"

"I wish you, thank you lord for your respect. I will do my best to assist the major general in governing government affairs. I will ask Commander Dian Wei for advice and live up to your high expectations!" Fa Zheng bowed and happily accepted the order.

Li Li smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, Xiaozhi's words are unquestionable. Within two years, our army will not have a large-scale war, so you can take this opportunity to experience it well. When the situation in the world changes in the future, it will be when Fa Xiaozhi shines!"

"Thank you for your praise, lord." Fa Zheng replied with a reserved smile.

At this time, Jia Xu suddenly smiled and interrupted, "Congratulations to Xiaozhi, who was only seventeen years old, could be the position of county magistrate. When I was as old as you, I was still studying hard at home! Hahaha???????????”

After hearing this, Li Li nodded and smiled, "Yes, two years ago, I was just a small soldier in front of the army. By chance, I was promoted to Sima of another department! Xiaozhi is less than seventeen years old now, and he is quick-witted and has a good view of the past and present. With time, his future is limitless!"

Fa Zheng could still resist the excitement when he heard Jia Xu's praise. Now, when he heard Li Li's praise so high, a strong look of excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and his excitement was clearly visible.

After Fa Zheng bowed and left, Jia Xu looked at Fa Zheng's departure back and smiled at Li Li, saying, "Xiaozhi is indeed a rare genius. He is smart and studious, wise, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a unique understanding of military discipline and military affairs. This time he has a good experience, and I believe it won't take long to make great use!"

"Haha! I didn't expect Wenhe's evaluation of Xiaozhi was so high, but you didn't praise anyone for a long time." Li Li nodded with a smile and said.

Jia Xu raised his hand and stroked his beard and smiled, "Young people, when they should praise you, give him encouragement, and give him more opportunities so that he can grow up quickly. When making mistakes, he must also let him truly realize what the mistake is and remember the lessons so as not to repeat the same mistakes in the future. In fact, in the eyes of his subordinates, the lord's lord's lord's valuation is far above his subordinates. The lord's words that he just encouraged him were enough to make him excited for a while. Hahaha!"

Li Li nodded slightly and said, "The drums do not need to be heavy hammers. Appropriate encouragement is indeed necessary. Fa Xiaozhi is a material that can be made and can be used for great use. However, he prefers military affairs and does not seem to be very enthusiastic about government affairs. I sent him to Beidi County this time just to let him exercise, at least let him know the sufferings of the people and make his mind mature as soon as possible. In fact, this is also my real intention of sending Li Xian as the magistrate of Beidi County. If you don't know the sufferings of the people, you will never be able to become a meticulous general who will never be able to win a lot of battles!"

"Well, lord's words are deafening and profound intent! Can lord solve the doubts for his subordinates?" Jia Xu asked in surprise.

Li Li smiled indifferently and said, "Wenhe is too modest. In fact, understanding the sufferings of the people in the people can help us learn a lot. First, understanding the feelings of the people will help us understand the nature and style of the enemy and the way of dealing with the generals, and know ourselves and the enemy. Second, we can let our generals know what cherishing means, make careful decisions, and make the most appropriate orders, so as not to make hasty decisions, misleading oneself and army. Third, only by truly understanding the sufferings and voices of the people can our generals not kill too much, take human lives at will, and become bloodthirsty.

The art of war has something to say: the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people.

What is harmony? From a small point of view, it means that the army must be united and cannot do its own things; in a big way, it cannot go against the people's hearts and opinions, otherwise it will undoubtedly be defeated! For marching and fighting, if the enemy, military and civilians work together, it will be extremely difficult to win this war, and it is even impossible to win at all. In my opinion, this is harmony of people and the suffering of the people!"

After thinking for a while, Jia Xu nodded and sighed, "My lord is aware of his knowledge, my subordinates have received education! I have talked with him today and my subordinates have benefited a lot. I still have some confusion in my heart before. At this time, I know the true meaning of what the lord said before, "Success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He". My subordinates will leave first."

Li Li smiled and nodded, signaling Jia Xu to leave without any politeness.

After Jia Xu left, Li Li stood up and stood in front of the window frame and murmured to himself: "Does Jia Xu really understand what I am thinking, but I haven't figured out yet and am still hesitating? Success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He. In fact, success is Emperor Han and Emperor Han. Alas, what should I do?"
