These two points are the reasons for the weakening of the central army. Once the central army becomes weak, the ambitious people will rely on foreign troops to rise strongly.

This made the foreign army, which should have been set up to stabilize the court, a tool for ambitious people.

Xiao Daocheng at the end of the Song Dynasty and Xiao Yan at the end of the Qi Dynasty all relied on powerful foreign troops (Xiao Daocheng relied on Qing, Xu's armed forces, and Xiao Yan relied on Yongzhou forces).

Then the troops were localized (Jiankang) and the combat effectiveness of the Central Army decreased, becoming a guard of honor.

The army is filled with a large number of borers, borers drinking blood from soldiers, ordinary soldiers do not have good training, and even hold multiple positions and become employees.

The emphasis on the outside and the inside is the current situation of the foreign army in Liang Kingdom, and the central army basically does not have decent field combat capabilities.

When Hou Jing was in trouble, the central army performed extremely unbearable, just like a fool, thanks to Taicheng as a defensive facility, which barely blocked the siege of the rebels.

The weak central army back then has not had much combat effectiveness until now.

No matter who becomes the emperor, he does not have enough confidence to shock the foreign army with the central army.

It is also a blessing for the strongest foreign army - Xuzhou Army, who is the direct line of Li Li, otherwise, he, as a general, would have been uneasy.

Before, Li Li wanted to rectify the central army, but he was afraid of being attacked, worried that the soldiers would be dissatisfied with the reorganization of the army, so he was taken advantage of by others and launched a palace change.

Now, the emperor has come to Huaiyin, and Huaiyin is within the "one-day assault" range of the Xuzhou army.

Li Li picked up his pen and continued to issue military orders.
