After Yan Keqiu's matter was finalized, Zhu Li thought of Li Hanzhi, Yang Zaixing, Liang Zhang, Liu Zhijun, Shang Rang, Lin Heier and others. It would be better to take these people back to Shuozhou as soon as possible.

Lin Hei'er is easy to say. She is not much older than Ning'er, and she was taken in by Yuchi Jin, so let's place her next to Ning'er first and study with Ning'er.

Using Ning'er, who is naturally cheerful, as the source of light for luminous and heated light, helping the poor Hei'er slowly dispel the haze in her heart. Zhu Li thought about it this way and decided.

As for the other people, we must discuss it with the three gentlemen.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Li looked at Guo Chongtao and Guo Qizuo and said, "A few people I brought back, detailed information, has Jing Ming sent someone to submit it to both of you?"

When the two of them heard this, they nodded. Guo Qizuo looked at Zhu Li and said in confusion: "How do you plan to arrange these people?"

"I want to hear the opinions of the three of you first." Zhu Li looked at the three of you leisurely.

The three of them looked at each other, and Yan Keqiu said, "I first arrived in Shuozhou and don't know much about the situation here. It's better for the two Mr. Guo to make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li nodded, and then looked at Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao again.

Guo Qizuo signaled Guo Chongtao to say first, and Guo Chongtao was no longer polite, saying, "You can arrange them like this, let Li Hanzhi and Liu Zhijun go to Sanggan. These two people, one is unruly and the other is conceited, just let General Wu Dao suppress their arrogance and practice their temperaments by the way."

"Yanmen is a Chongguan, stuck between Daizhou and Shuozhou, and it is not that important now; General Liang Zhang is relatively old but has rich combat experience, so he can leave Yanmen and discuss his practical experience with General Guiba."

"As for Shang Rang, this man was in the Cao army, and suddenly lost his power. I guess he was unbalanced. You might as well entrust Shang Rang to be the left and right general. He took advantage of General Zaixing's sharpness to defeat his arrogance. If there is any change, it will not be too late to use it again." Guo Chongtao suggested seriously.

"Where is Mr. Guo's opinion?" After hearing Guo Chongtao's suggestion, Zhu Li did not make a decision immediately, but turned around and asked Guo Qizuo again.

Guo Qizuo glanced at Guo Chongtao and found that the other party was calm and was preparing to listen to his opinions seriously. He spoke, "Although Chongtao's words are reasonable, there are some inappropriate things."

"Well, what are your opinions?" Zhu Li raised her brow and asked seriously.

Guo Chongtao and Yan Keqiu immediately took the pose of listening, both of which were as if they were very knowledgeable.

"Since the Three Emperors ruled the world and the Five Emperors were celebrating, Hedong was the important place for the descendants of Yanhuang to reproduce and grow. Looking at our Han territory, from Guanzhong, Hedong, and Heluo, all are places where the people gather and the people are densely populated."

"Li Keyong is now restraining Hedong, but we are in charge of Daishuo. It can be imagined that if there is a military operation in Hedong, in addition to going east to plan for the land of Youji, it is to attack Heshuo in the north; therefore, defending Li Keyong and even using Li Keyong as an obstacle to breaking south is the primary thing we must consider now."

Zhu Li, Guo Chongtao, and Yan Keqiu nodded when they heard this. Zhu Li didn't know whether the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had really promoted Hedong, but he knew that Hedong was very rich in the late Tang Dynasty. This was true, and there was no doubt.

The area that Zhu Li has occupied now has too long horizontal fronts, which is a taboo for military strategists. If they try to calm the world, they have only two choices. The first is to go from Hetao.

If you expand your territory to the west, and to the south, you will stretch the front line longer. If you have to, you will never choose that way.

As for the second option, it is to go south to capture Taiyuan. Only in this way can the controlled areas be connected into one, so that the territory can be held firm and more stable.

Moreover, from Zhu Li's perspective, whether it is personal grudges or old grudges or strategic people's livelihood, it is the best choice to conquer Hedong. Guo Qizuo focuses on the overall situation and is most clear in his heart.

If we only consider the employment aspect, Guo Chongtao's opinions are very pertinent, and they are mutually restrained and complement each other, which is the best strategy; but if we take the overall picture through the exam, it will be debated.

Seeing the other three people appreciate their meaning, Guo Qizuo continued: "Looking at history, whether it is the prosperity of the First Emperor who took Guanzhong to pacify the six kingdoms; or Emperor Gaozu raised troops to the Central Plains and swept the world westward, Hedong is a concise place, and wars are always inevitable."

"Now Li Keyong is strong, and if he goes north, it is legitimate; if we are weak, we must consider now, so we can only use defense instead of attacking and waiting for the opportunity. Therefore, it is very urgent to defend against Li Keyong's Northern Expedition."

"If we were Li Keyong and wanted to attack Daishuo in the north, what offensive routes would we choose?" Guo Qizuo looked at the three of them and asked questions.

When the three of them heard this, they frowned and pondered. After a while, Yan Keqiu said, "First take Ningwu, defeat Lanzhou, and directly attack Shuozhou; secondly, knock on the Shiling, first defeat Xin, then take Shuozhou."

"Not bad, but Li Keyong still has two offensive routes. He can also take Youji first to confuse us, then take Xin, and finally capture Shuozhou."

"Or it may capture Youji, go straight to Juyong Pass, pass through Jundu Pass, and attack us from the east of Shuozhou." Guo Chongtao immediately added after hearing Yan Keqiu's words.

After hearing what the two said, Guo Qizuo nodded and said calmly: "Now, Ningwu and Shiling are all in our hands, so we are strictly guarding and defending each other. If Li Keyong attacks the two points, it will be thankless, so the most likely route for attacking is the two routes mentioned by Chongtao."

"Juyong Pass is in the hands of Mr. Li of Fanyang. Even if we want to send people to guard it, it is impossible. The military capital between us and Mr. Li has always been unattended. In order to prevent it, someone must leave the town here."

"There was no one before, and we were sandwiched between Youzhou and us. We didn't think it was anything, but who can guarantee that Mr. Li would definitely not be replaced by others?"

Guo Qizuo's words left Zhu Li and the other three speechless. In this era, no one can guarantee that any governor can guarantee that he can sit steadily. If Li Keju is really replaced, the military capital will undoubtedly be exposed and become a smooth road for those who are interested to attack Shuozhou.

As soon as Zhu Li and the other two realized the seriousness of the problem, Guo Qizuo continued: "So the subordinates suggested that the envoys could allocate three thousand guards of Liang Zhang, and together with his former subordinates, go out to the army's capital; and let Shangrang and Liu Zhijun go to General Wudao to obey the order; and grant Li Hanzhi the personal general; and grant Yang Zaixing the Sima of Shuozhou."

Upon hearing this, Guo Chongtao carefully understood the intention of Guo Qizuo's assignment, and then he immediately understood.

Among these assigned people, the ones that Zhu Li most reassures are undoubtedly Yang Zaixing and Liang Zhang.

Liang Zhang's old subordinates and relatives moved north to Daishuo, and his intentions were very clear. He had already planned to hang himself on Zhu Li's tree, so he naturally had no need to say much about his loyalty.

Yang Zaixing single-handedly protected Zhu Li, fleeing abroad for a whole year, never leaving her, and loyalty is naturally the same.

And these two people, Guo Qizuo, let him conquer the other side

, If a person who lets him control the direct guards of Shuozhou, it can be said that this proposal must have won Zhu Li's heart.

As for the unstable three people, Shang Rang and Liu Zhijun gave them all to Wu Dao to polish. Who is Wu Dao? That's Zhu Li's master. Not only is his martial arts superb, but his strategy and military strategy are also unfathomable. He even has his own unique insights in government management.

There is actually no difference between letting these two people follow Wu Dao and letting them follow Zhu Li directly.

As for the brave and rebellious Li Hanzhi, he directly asked Zhu Li to take him by his side. In Shuozhou, Zhu Li was suppressed inside and Yang Zaixing was restrained outside. I believe that the other party would be defeated soon.

Thinking of this, Guo Chongtao looked at Guo Qizuo with a bright look. He had been with Guo Qizuo for so long and thought he was already not far from the other party, but now it seems that the difference is still quite big.

Whether it is to understand people's hearts, layout, and planning, he is obviously more than one step ahead of him; as for Yan Keqiu, he naturally figured out the key points, and the eyes looking at Guo Chongtao and Guo Qizuo were also very impressed.

These two people are not famous at all in the Central Plains, but they are unfathomable. They are old and conspiring to the country. No wonder Zhu Li has been away for two or three years and has not worried about something going on in her nest. With these two people here, it is difficult to think of something happening.

After hearing Guo Qizuo's words, Zhu Li said directly without thinking: "Since it is the arrangement of the sir, let's do it like this."

Just a simple sentence made Guo Chongtao and Yan Keqiu's envy and contempt for Guo Qizuo, and he was even more grateful. Rather than saying that this was a decisive statement, it would be better to say that this was an echo. The trust in it was highly trusted, and there was no doubt.

The next day.

The military order of the governor's office was appointed General Yiwei, and led 5,000 troops out of the army to the capital. He set out today and prepared all the materials for the pass to build, and he could take them all.

Li Hanzhi was appointed as the general of the Ya Soldier and was in charge of the three thousand Ya Soldiers of the Governor's Mansion.

Yang Zaixing was granted the title of General Xuanwei and controlled the five thousand prefectures in Shuozhou.

Yan Keqiu was appointed as the inspector of the three prefectures of Youlingyan, and Shi Yan was appointed as General Mingwei. He led his troops to Hetao and guard Lingzhou.

The imperial decree was granted Shangrang, and Liu Zhijun was appointed as the General of the Central Army of Guide. He soon followed Zhu Li to Sanggan to serve.

The area of ​​the twenty-four prefectures was attacked by Wu Dao. As for the area north of the Hetao area, Gaosu was attacking.

At the same time, the governor's office also promoted old generals, such as Gao Yuan, Zhou Dewei, Huo Qing, Meng Juehai and others, and the position of General Guide of the Central Army. These were all military officers of the fourth rank and were on the same level as Liang Zhang, Shi Yan and others.

As for Gao Su, Zhu Li ordered him to be the General of Zhuangwu, and Wu Dao to be the General of Zhongwu, Wang Jing, Guo Chongtao and Guo Qizuo were all under the title of governor of Zhongzhou. These were all fourth-rank officials.

In theory, Zhu Li is just a governor, or a downtown area. She can't be granted such a high official at all, and it's not his turn to be granted. But who told him to be rebellious? Rebellion also has the benefits of rebellion, that is, willfulness.

This large-scale reward is inevitable. Officials receive salaries based on official positions. Now their lives are much better than before. Is it impossible to let the old man eat braised vegetables? No matter how loyal the subordinates are, they will not be able to eat enough, wear warm clothes, and they will not have the strength to be loyal.

The deployment of Shuozhou was basically completed, and Liangzhang and the generals were basically added, which was inconspicuous.
Chapter completed!
