Liu Jian said in surprise when he heard this: "How could you be related to this matter?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, you are going to test me. Then I will tell you according to my idea. The left guard of Yulin followed Lin Yi to the battle this time. Regardless of whether the entire army was wiped out or not, it would basically be aborted."

"Besides, the Yulin Left Guard was basically the Lin family's sphere of influence. Now that Lin Yi was defeated, Lin Ruhai was going to draw his old confidant to take charge of the battle, and many positions in the army would be vacant. If Song Xiang doesn't take this opportunity to capture the Yulin Left Guard, then it's not Song Xiang."

"And, according to my guess, handing over the left guard of Yulin should be one of the conditions that Song Xiang and Lin Ruhai have reached."

After hearing this, Liu Jian looked at Li Xu's face for a long time and sighed: "If you weren't in front of me, I would definitely think that this statement was said by a person who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years. Although your guess is not all right, it is basically not much different."

Li Xu smiled when he heard this, he just exchanged interests. He could guess just by thinking about it from the standpoint of both sides.

Liu Jian continued: "The Imperial Guard has a total of ten guards and horses, among which the three guards, Yulin Guard, Huben Guard and Longxiang Guard, have a total of 60,000 troops belong to the emperor's personal army, and are responsible for guarding the palace city, Yicong emperor, etc., so they are also called the inner guard. Although the other seven guards belong to the Imperial Guard, they are responsible for guarding the imperial city and the outer city, so they are also called the outer guard."

"Each guard is divided into two guards on the left and right, and is led by a general, so there are a total of twenty generals in the Imperial Guard. There is also a Marshal of the Du in these twenty generals."

"Marson Du is nominally the president of the Imperial Guard, but it has always been a false idea, so the twenty Imperial Guardians are actually directly under the emperor."

"If a general is ordered to take charge of the battle, he will be given the title of Deputy Marshal of the Imperial Guard to rule over the generals of the guards who were selected to go out of the battle."

"For example, the general of Zhenxi, Song Cheng, was originally wearing a lieutenant of the deputy chief of the Imperial Guard, led 200,000 troops to the two passes to confront the Wei people."

After popularizing the Imperial Guards for Li Xu, Liu Jian looked at Li Xu again and said, "To be honest, although General Song Cheng took charge of the command and confronted the Wei people in the two borders this time, the power of the Song family in the army was far less than that of the Lin family. Song Cheng's 200,000 troops were also in large numbers and hindered each other. This is also an important reason why General Song Cheng was unable to fight the Wei army for a long time."

Li Xu then suddenly realized that the Qin and Wei armies confronted each other at the border for several months but had been fighting in small matters, but there was no real battle. It turned out that there was such a reason.

The generals under their command belong to different forces. It would be fine if they rely on the dangers of the pass to stick to it. If they go out to fight in the field, they cannot be united. Once the war begins and the pressure is slightly greater, the Qin army may collapse first.

Therefore, Lin Yi's defeat this time also gave the Song family the opportunity to further expand their military power, so they thought of transferring themselves into the capital to rebuild the left guard of Yulin.

As for why he chose himself, Li Xu understood it as soon as he thought about it.

He has a clear foundation and has a gap with the Lin family. In addition, he has already been stamped with the Song family, and there are not so many complicated relationships that are transferred to the Imperial Guard. He is young and easy to control. Isn’t he a good candidate?

Thinking of this, Li Xu sneered in his heart, but asked curiously: "Uncle Liu, what official was Song Xiang who was the one who was used to transfer me into the Imperial Guard?"

Liu Jian said: "The position that Song Xiang temporarily planned to give you is the General of the Central Guard of the Left Guard of Yulin, which belongs to the fourth-rank military position. There are two Generals of the General of the Central Guard and the General of the Central Guard and the General of the Left Guard of Yulin. However, Song Xiang said that the General of the Left Guard of Yulin will not accept the order specifically for the time being, and only has one Right Imperial General, and you will be the General of the Central Guard."

Seeing Li Xu listening quietly, Liu Jian felt relieved and continued to explain: "You don't have to worry too much. The candidate for the Right Yulin General is a veteran, who is mature and steadfast and always respects Song Xiang, so he will definitely support you. Just let go and do it. If you make new contributions at that time, the entire Yulin Left Guard will also obey you."

Li Xu understood the subtext in Liu Jian's words. It was nothing more than that he was too young and had too little experience. It was definitely not suitable to directly promote himself as the General of the Left Guard of Yulin, so he first made a transition to the position of a General of the Central Army.

As for the veteran general who served as the Right Yulin, he must be Song Mu's person, so he just took a seat to block others' mouths.

If you make some more contributions, you will be promoted to the position of General Yulin and become the real controller of the left guard of Yulin.

Speaking of which, the position of General Zhonglang is already a rocket-like promotion for Li Xu, who is now a small county lieutenant with the title of sixth rank. It has both face and inner strength, which is enough to show the sincerity of the Song family.

However, Li Xu did not feel much excited. After all, he was a dignified Tang Hou. He now owned the Golden Thigh with 40,000 elite soldiers, the newly rising leader of the Qin rebellion world, and how meaningful a small fourth-rank general can be.

However, Li Xu did not refuse directly because he thought of a benefit.

If you can master the left guard of Yulin, then when you attack Chang'an City, it will be like having a built-in internal army. At that time, it will be much easier for Chang'an City to fall into your hands intact with the inside and outside.

He is not those bandits who only know how to do destruction but do not know how to build. He has already regarded Qin as his own possession.

Not to mention Chang'an City, a majestic city that is the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty, naturally, it should be more protected, which is also his future political center.

Moreover, if you work in the Yulin Zuowei, you can also get access to more core information from the Qin Dynasty, which is very convenient for you to be a part-time job as Erwuzai.

After Liu Jian finished speaking, he observed Li Xu's expression, but did not see Li Xu showing any disappointment. Even his excited and excited expression seemed to be very calm, and he looked as calm as ever, which made Liu Jian nod and applaud.

Li Xu pondered for a moment and asked, "Uncle Liu, as far as I know, the Imperial Guards are all selected by the good family in Guanzhong to serve as soldiers. However, if they still select the good family to rebuild the left guard of Yulin this time, then it will take at least a year to truly become a unit that dares to fight and can fight. But many things may happen in a year."

Li Xu stopped here and looked at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian understood what he meant and nodded and said, "Song Xiang has also considered what you said. If the children of good families are reselected as soldiers, it will take a long time and will be a great burden for the court. So Song Xiang means to draw elite troops from the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong to fill the left guards of Yulin to form. And our Sanshui County and Township Yongying Camp, Song Xiang has granted you a quota of 2,000 people."

Li Xu was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Song Mu was so courageous and directly transferred local troops to the Central Army.
