That night, Luo Sinan summoned three commanders on the battlefield in the Central Plains at the Han Palace.
Accompanying here are Changshi Yuanye of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Hu Tu, the Chief of Han Prince's Mansion, and Changsun Kangning, the new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The three of them met Changsun Kangning at one time, and attached great importance to the suddenly rising Chang'an powerful people and dared not look down on or neglect at all. Changsun Kangning is not only a relative of the Tiger King, but also a father-in-law of Roland, but also a grasp of the economic lifeline of the Chang'an court. Without this rich figure in the world, whether it is the Western Expedition or the upcoming Central Plains War, they will fall into the dilemma of insufficient military supplies.
Yuanye briefly explained the attack strategy of the Privy Council, "The three envoys, Luo, Liu, and Zhe, mean that they would first let the commander Yue attack Shandong, Wang Liushou led his army to attack Yingtian Prefecture to restrain the rebels in the southeast, and the eight Hulie Army led by Tuo and Wang Yan guarded the Yellow River defense line."
Luo Sinan stared at the map for a while and asked, "How many troops are there currently in the battlefield in the Central Plains?"
"There are 140,000 troops." Yue Fei said immediately, "Zhe Kecun, Luo Lan, Han Shizhong, Hailasu, and Abaddon led their troops back one after another. With the strength of the Luoyang Grand Governor's Office, the total force has reached 140,000."
"Where is Kaifeng Mansion?" Luo Sinan turned his head and looked at Wang Yuan.
"Kaifeng Prefecture is all local troops. Considering that the war is tense and the border guarding task is heavy, even in the busy farming season, it will maintain a regular force of about 30,000." Wang Yuan replied, "If there is war and urgent call, the force can reach more than 50,000."
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Sinan smiled, "Over the past few years, you have not only guarded Kaifeng and managed the Yellow River, but also trained an excellent local army, which has made outstanding contributions."
Wang Yuan hurriedly said a few humble words. To be honest, Wang Yuan's achievements have indeed been extraordinary over the past year. At the beginning of the year, the Hanlin Grand Secretary Zong Ze inspected Kaifeng and praised Wang Yuan for everything he did. After returning to Beijing, he even praised him strongly. From this, it can be seen that Li Hu's decision to put Wang Yuan on the battlefield of the Central Plains and let him guard Kaifeng was very correct. Wang Yuan worked so hard not only to guard the country's fortune, to show his loyalty to Li Hu, but also to be able to enter the center one day. Li Hu promised him that he would return to the court to be prime minister, and Wang Yuan knew how much effort he had to make how many merits he had to achieve this goal.
"Ms. Yue, you are fully responsible for the attack on Shandong. The Grand Marshal's Office and the Privy Council will not interfere, but you must remember that the prerequisite for conquering Shandong is to defend the Central Plains and Bianjing. Therefore, you must carefully discuss the offensive and defensive strategies with Wang Liushou, and do not neglect the slightest, and do not carelessly underestimate the enemy."
Yue Fei pointed his head, but he didn't care. Luo Sinan could tell from his expression that Yue Fei did not listen to his words. During this Western Expedition, Luo Lan, Zhe Kecun and other generals made military achievements, which made Yue Fei and a group of generals who were guarding the Central Plains extremely unbalanced. This is also a common sense and no one can avoid it, but in this way, it will definitely affect the Battle of the Central Plains. Yue Fei and a group of generals are eager to make contributions, and there will inevitably be a rash move in the process of deploying troops and attacking. Once such a thing is lost control, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Luo Sinan originally wanted Dong Xiaochou to go to the Central Plains to command in person, but Chang'an cannot do without Dong Xiaochou, especially now the conflict between the Han Palace and the Seminar Hall is becoming more and more intense. If Dong Xiaochou leaves, Luo Sinan is worried that the conflict between the two sides will intensify and fight.
Two months ago, Luo Si Nan strongly recommended Changsun Kangning to preside over the Ministry of Revenue, but was unanimously opposed by Li Gang, Li Fu, Zhao Mingcheng and others. Later, Dong Xiaochou came forward to mediate and transferred Hu Tu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to the Chief Secretary of the Han Palace, and let Changsun Kangning take over the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, the control of the Hu Lieutenant in the Shangshu Province was not further expanded, which could be regarded as a concession for the Han Palace. According to Luo Sinan's original intention, she wanted to transfer Hu Tu to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but under Li Gang's firm obstruction, she failed in the end, which made Luo Sinan extremely angry.
This time, Li Hu made a decision to help the Khitans restore the country. Li Gang was also a firm opposition, and the reason was that Li Gang firmly opposed the launch of the southern expedition immediately. The army wanted to fight south, but the national treasury was in a dilemma and could only rely on the credit loans of Changsun Kangning's wealthy businessmen. In this way, the court would make more compromises to the wealthy businessmen, sacrifice more interests, and even make major concessions in national policies. In Li Gang's view, this was unimaginable and a disaster for the country and the people, so he refused to agree.
Fortunately, the national policy is the separation of military and political affairs, and the separation of military and political affairs is conducive to centralization. The disadvantage is that the power of the prime minister is greatly restricted. When a war is launched, it is easy to cause trouble because of the unfavorable military and political coordination. However, at this moment, it is beneficial to the Han Palace to put aside the deliberation hall and launch a southern expedition. However, although Luo Sinan has the support of giant merchants and wealthy merchants, he needs the support of the court and the local government. After all, the war requires all national strength. Without the full presidency of the court office and the local government, the war cannot be completed.
Li Gang and some ministers did not support Nanzheng and fought against the Han Palace. At this time, the coordination role of the Privy Council played a crucial role. From this, the importance of Dong Xiaochou can be imagined.
Dong Xiaochou could not leave Chang'an. Liu Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu could command the army in the Privy Council, but Liu Yanqing's prestige in the Tiger Lie Army was too low, so he could only play a counter-effect when he went to the Central Plains battlefield. The same was true for Zhe Keqiu, and Zhe Keqiu had just returned from the Western Expedition battlefield. His arrival in the Central Plains battlefield would bring more uncertainty, and Luo Sinan dared not appoint him.
Luo Sinan was worried and in a low mood. She planned to talk to Dong Xiaochou tomorrow, whether to transfer Yang Keshi and Lanzhou's main force from the northwest as soon as possible to ease the crisis caused by conflicts between the generals with their military advantage.
"Let's tell me, what are your requirements for military supplies?" Yuanye pointed at Changsun Kangning and said the main purpose of tonight, "Live on our God of Wealth here, if you have any requests, you should raise it quickly."
Yue Fei, Wang Yuan and Ying Qin knew the purpose of Luo Sinan summoning them overnight when they saw Changsun Kangning, so they hurriedly wrote a draft. At this time, they saw Yuanye opening the topic, and the three of them were not polite, and the lion immediately spoke.
Changsun Kangning was ready, smiling and noted it one by one.
Tonight, Luo Sinan invited him to the Han Palace and met with the commander representing the three forces in the Hu Lie Army. This was a formal introduction to the Hu Lie Army. This shows that Luo Sinan had already trusted him and included him in the Hu Lie core power level. This was something Changsun Kangning dreamed of, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
Ying Qin is the commander of Yunshuo Army and the old team of the Li Hu Dashan Alliance; Wang Yuan is a powerful general in the northwest and has been loyal to Li Hu very early. There are rumors that Li Hu admires him very much and is determined to train him as a priest from a warrior. As for Yue Fei, his status is special, he is like an iron eagle, and he is considered a member of Li Hu's family. In the future, he will be the mainstay of the new dynasty like Roland. Today, the three forces of the Tiger Lie Army gathered in the Han Palace, and Changsun Kangning had the opportunity to sit with them to discuss the plan of the Southern Expedition. It can be seen that his identity has undergone earth-shaking changes. Whether he can seize this opportunity depends on whether he can help these three commanders win the Southern Expedition and build great achievements.
Changsun Kangning gave Luo Sinan and the three commanders a satisfactory answer. In order to ensure the smoothness of the war, Changsun Kangning made a suggestion, and he would send a representative to the front line in person, obey the three commanders' orders at any time, and solve everything within his ability for the army's military supplies. This suggestion immediately won Luo Sinan's approval.
The following negotiations went very smoothly and the atmosphere was very harmonious. It was not until midnight that everyone said goodbye and left.
"Pengju, you can see them off for me." Luo Sinan sent Wang Yuan and others out of the room, then walked to Yue Fei's side, and whispered an order.
Yue Fei understood and bowed to take the order. After leaving the mansion, Wang Yuan, Yuan Ye and others left, but Changsun Kangning was delayed until the end and pulled Yue Fei for a few more words. Yue Fei was probably what he wanted to say, so he asked tentatively, "Who is the minister going to let my command in my command?"
Changsun Kangning looked surprised, quite surprised. He didn't expect that Yue Fei was so careful that he could see through his intentions at first glance. Changsun Kangning was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak but stopped.
"If it's a close relative, I can arrange it. He will naturally be indispensable for the merits of Nanzheng." Yue Fei didn't want to go around in circles and just said it bluntly.
Changsun Kangning was very grateful and bowed deeply. He was about to say a few words of thanks, but Yue Fei had already supported him, "You are Zixin's father-in-law, both of them are family. Even if I don't arrange such a thing, Zixin will arrange it, but..." Yue Fei frowned slightly, and the following words seemed a little difficult to express.
Changsun Kangning knew it well and immediately said, "I will find a suitable opportunity to report to the princess."
Yue Fei smiled and nodded, "Have Zixin's wedding date been set?"
"The princess said that she had to wait for the King of Han to come back before she decided on her life." Changsun Kangning was anxious about this. As the saying goes, there are many dreams in the long night, but there is no accurate day for the King of Han to return. Once something happens in the middle, all his efforts will be wasted.
Yue Fei's smile on his face became stronger. Judging from Luo Sinan's arrangement tonight, Changsun Kangning has officially entered the core level of Hu Lie. Luo Sinan obviously valued him very much, but Changsun Kangning has great ambitions. Judging from arranging his offspring to take advantage of tricks to join the army to gain military merits, this person's desire may become greater and greater.
"Zi Xin is currently stationed in Kaifeng." Yue Fei said lightly, "He has gone directly to the Central Plains when he came back from the northwest. He has not seen your little wife yet, right?"
There was something in Yue Fei's words, and Changsun Kangning could hear it, but he was not sure whether his guess was correct. When he was hesitating, Yue Fei bowed and gave him a chance to speak.
Yue Fei went straight to the study. Luo Sinan asked him to sit down and asked casually: "What do you think of Changsun Kangning?"
Yue Fei shook his head, a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Greed."
"Greedy is good, I'm afraid he won't be greedy." Luo Sinan smiled, "Do you know why he sent someone to your handsome tent?"
Yue Fei nodded.
"That's good." Luo Sinan said, "I'm worried that you deliberately made things difficult for him." Then she stretched her eyebrows and her expression suddenly relaxed. "I have always been worried that your personality is too straightforward. Now it seems that I don't have to worry."
Yue Fei smiled and said, "I am no longer the Yue Fei of the past. I will leave tomorrow. I want to tell you about the attack on Jianghuai."
