Of course that's what he said, but who would dare to jump out stupidly at this time.
It was obvious that this was the Hongmen Banquet, and everyone who came here was not a fool. Everyone looked at each other, expecting someone to stand out.
No one made any pretense, and the courtyard was very quiet.
At this time, the Western Army, after a series of splits and transfers, had lost its previous strength.
The Shengjie Army and other units directly under Tong Guan have been transferred and integrated into the Bianliang Forbidden Army.
Han Shizhong, the Wu brothers and other capable people have also left the ranks of the Western Army.
After a series of deployments and defense changes, many well-established generals of the Western Army have been deployed to various locations around the world.
The rest of them, without the Zhong brothers saying anything, have long lost their ability to make waves.
Li Yunze, who was full of momentum, convinced the audience and said with a stern look, "Since there is no objection among you, then this matter is settled."
The stick has been swung, and now it’s time to give some sweet dates.
After all, they are all powerful factions. If they really have hot heads and red eyes and cause trouble, even though they can be calmed down easily, the people of Song Dynasty will still lose.
"Liu Yanqing, the Jiedu Envoy of the Baoxin Army." Li Yunze looked at Liu Yanqing, a powerful faction of the Western Army. "He was transferred to Jiangnan West Road and Jiangzhou Observation Envoy. Yao Gu, the Xihe Economic Envoy, was transferred to the Privy Council of Tongzhi. ..."
Li Yunze deprived the generals of the Western Army of their military power in disguise, and at the same time transferred them away from Guanzhong.
He didn't just show mercy, but chose to change places to save some face.
If you are willing to accept it, everyone will be fine.
If he doesn't want to, Li Yunze will definitely not break his promise and become a melon. But the generals under his command would never let him leave this courtyard.
The generals of the Western Army had different expressions, but in the end no one spoke up to object.
They are not alone, but a big family in the true sense.
Rebellion is easy to say, but in a situation where there is almost no hope, who can watch the whole family go to the execution ground with him?
After dealing with the generals of the Western Army and completely dismembering the Western Army that had been growing for hundreds of years, Li Yunze turned his attention to the civil servants again.
Li Yunze's previous reorganization work of yamen in various places has been promoted in both the north and the south.
Only here in Guanzhong, because the Western Army was resisting at the front, it was not handled properly, and it has been delayed until now.
"My dear gentlemen," Li Yunze looked at the frightened civil servants with half-smiling eyes, "Why is half of the food, fodder and military supplies that this king prepared in advance for the crusade against Xixia and stored in this place of the third auxiliary?"
Do you even need to ask? Of course, everyone moved their hands up and down together, and their hands were filled with oil.
All the civil servants looked away, and no one answered.
As for the generals, they were also restless and looked weird.
All that was lost was military supplies. Without the assistance and cooperation of the military generals, how much could the civilian officials eat?
They were also afraid that Li Yunze would use the topic to his advantage, and they really wouldn't give him any way to survive.
"Mr. Zhong." Li Yunze simply turned around and returned to his seat and sat down. "You have taken over as Privy Councilor. It is your responsibility to deal with the loss of military resources."
Of course, before Li Yunze completely dismantled the Western Army, he first took care of the Zhong brothers.
Laozhong entered the court as a privy envoy, while Xiaozhong continued to stay in Guanzhong and take charge.
After all, their strength and prestige are there, and if they really raise their arms, it will definitely cause huge losses.
Zhong Shidao nodded to Li Yunze and turned around to start making arrangements. "Those who steal military supplies will be dealt with according to military law. If anyone is willing to identify them, they can be convicted and meritorious service. The number of places is limited, so please don't make any mistakes."
After a short period of silence, some civil servants came out to salute Master Zhong, "My dear Mr. Zhong, I would like to serve as my first official."
However, Zhong Shidao seemed to have never heard of him, and he didn't even look at him. Instead, he signaled the generals with his eyes.
Now everyone understood, and the generals involved came out one after another, expressing their regrets that they had committed such a heinous crime, and were now willing to point out their accomplices.
The final result was that all the participating generals were given the opportunity to plead guilty and meritorious service, while the civil servants who cried and shouted about injustice all day long were all named as the culprits.
When all the civil servants were dragged out to march and the sound of crying and mourning in the courtyard gradually decreased, Li Yunze slowly nodded and signaled, "Serve the wine and food, let's start the banquet."
This Hongmen Banquet was really frightening for everyone. They managed to survive until the end of the banquet. On the way back, the generals of the Western Army talked a lot. They all thought that King Wei was very decisive and skillful in his actions. Sooner or later, the world would belong to King Wei.
Recover stolen military supplies, rectify all the troops of the Western Army, click to unite the bow and arrow society, strong men, civilians, and brave soldiers, etc.
Li Yunze stayed in Sanfu for two months before barely completing the preliminary reorganization of the Western Army.
Compared with the Forbidden Army from various places in the pass, the Western Army is much better at paying empty wages, and the lowest one will be 60% of the actual salary. After all, they really want to go into battle, and they can't really go to the battlefield with their account books. .
The deduction of food and wages is also lighter than in Guan Nei, usually about 30 to 40%, which is far less terrifying than the vicious people in Guan Nei who directly take 80%.
It's not that the generals of the Western Army don't want to earn more, but if they deduct too much, they will easily be shot at on the battlefield.

Needless to say, the sergeants were driven to work, plowing the fields, busy with various industries, and working as slaves and maids at home. This is the case for sergeants all over the world.
The sergeants were poorly paid, lacked social status, and even dignity.
The world scornfully calls it "the thieves prepare the army." In this case, the Song Dynasty's soldiers often lost battles, and even suffered a complete defeat when facing the Jin soldiers in history, which means there is no surprise at all.
As for someone saying that according to data calculations, the victory rate of the Song Dynasty was even higher than that of the Tang Dynasty. This is a false proposition.
Most of the Song armies fought territorial defense battles. The so-called victory was mostly when they defended a city or a place, or when the enemy retreated on their own initiative and they could not catch up, it was considered a victory.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty are definitely different. They usually expand territories outside the country and fight abroad.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty cavalry was very mobile and turned around and left when it couldn't be defeated. However, this was regarded as a defeat.
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty could not be compared with that of the Tang Dynasty.
The army of the Song Dynasty was a recruiting system, and the recruited soldiers and horses were mainly paid for food. Promotion and wealth are all the job of generals.
In the Tang Dynasty, the military system of the Tang Dynasty was based on the government military system. The military system of the Liang family was mainly based on military achievements. Even a man in white could become a general and become a prime minister as long as he could achieve military achievements.
The fighting determination of both sides naturally determines the gap in combat effectiveness.
Li Yunze stayed behind to continue the follow-up disposal work, while he led the army to march northward, heading straight for the Hengshan Mountains.
Hengshan is the first battlefield between Xixia and the Song Dynasty. Both sides have built countless military strongholds based on the Hengshan Mountains. Whoever attacks first will have to fill these military strongholds with human lives first.
In the past, the Song army killed and injured thousands of people in a battle in order to fill these military strongholds, which was nothing to worry about.
After a hundred years of war, the number of soldiers and horses killed and injured by the Song army has almost caught up with the population of Xixia.
Under such circumstances, the failure to defeat Xixia is all due to Sima Guang!
Li Yunze became very angry when he thought of this and wanted to dance on his grave!
"Han Qi and Han Qi are not good guys. If they hadn't forced Di Qing to death, and Di Qing had come to fight Xixia, it would have been leveled long ago."
While feeling sorry for Di Qing, Lin Chong came to him happily.
"King Wei, we found our master and junior brother!"
Li Yunze was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
"It's true!" Lin Chong laughed loudly, "Master and junior brother are outside the tent."
When he went to Jiangnan before, Li Yunze took the initiative to look for Zhou Tong and Yue Fei.
But no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find any trace of them.
It was obviously Zhou Tong himself who said that he wanted to take Yue Fei to travel to the south of the Yangtze River.
I never thought that I would appear here.
Following Lin Chong out of the military tent, he saw Zhou Tong and Yue Fei whom he had not seen for a long time.
Zhou Tong was obviously older. After all, he showed his age, but his body and bones still looked strong.
As for Yue Fei, he has grown up and is full of momentum.
Naturally, they were happy to greet each other when they met.
"Master, haven't you been in Jiangnan before?" Li Yunze asked in detail after entering the tent. "My senior brother and I searched in many ways, but found nothing."
"It's in Jiangnan, and it's not far from your army." Zhou Tong sat down calmly, "It's because I don't want to see you."
Li Yunze was thoughtful, but Lin Chong asked puzzledly, "Why is this?"
Zhou Tong glanced at Li Yunze and said calmly, "The people in Jiangnan are suffering too much."
Hua Shi Gang did not just do the trivial matter of transporting stones, but also took this opportunity to transport the stones from top to bottom to plunder the people of Jiangnan crazily.
"Your field is blocking the way to transport Hua Shi Gang, and it needs to be taken away..."
"Your house is blocking the way to transport Hua Shi Gang, so it needs to be taken away..."
"To transport Hua Shi Gang, your family must provide corvee..."
"To dig out Huashi Gang, your family needs people, money and effort..."
"Your family's stone flowers and plants are good. I should be included in the Flower and Stone Guide. I will first seal your family and guard the treasures..."
In the name of Hua Shi Gang, the officials ranged from Cai Jing to Zhu Meng and others, and down to the local officials. All in the name of Huashi Gang, they requisitioned canals and merchant ships at will, consuming millions of laborers. Destroyed houses and walls, trampled fields and destroyed tombs, causing the world to be desolate and the people to live in dire straits.
The people in Jiangnan still have to bear taxes, how can they not be miserable?
Fang La's uprising, in Zhou Tong's view, was that the people who could not survive were asking for life.
Of course, he would not take the initiative to find Li Yunze and help him suppress the people.
Even when Li Yunze was looking for them, he chose to hide his whereabouts.
Now...
"The pacification of Xixia is a national war, and you should serve your country. I came here today just for your junior brother Pengju."
Zhou Tong himself is already at this age, so of course he will not think about looking for a title immediately.
But the disciple he was most satisfied with was the one who had acquired martial arts skills and was just about to make his mark.
Among Zhou Tong's disciples, Lin Chong had a soft personality, and Lu Junyi didn't want to mention it at all.
Li Yunze is excellent in all aspects, but he is too excellent. Now he is the King of Wei, and he does not know when he will become Emperor Wu of Wei.
Only Yue Fei satisfied him the most, and this was the heir to his mantle that he truly wanted.
Li Yunze understood this and looked at the tall and tall Yue Fei, "How about Peng Ju and becoming a close soldier in the Chinese army?"
Young Yue Fei immediately frowned and said, "Senior brother, I am a brave warrior, so I should go out to fight as a brave warrior to face the enemy."
"Understood."
Li Yunze nodded immediately, "We will attack Luyi Castle tomorrow. You will lead the charge."
Yue Fei immediately showed joy and said, "Take the order!"
