Yue Hongling thought for a while, her beautiful eyes flashed with smoke, her pink lips were slightly parted, and her voice was like flying jade from a spring, and she said: "If the internal affairs are not repaired, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people have no livelihood, things like the Longyou Road will happen again. , Fortunately, Longde Mansion was also governed by Li Thief in the past, but the officials can be considered relatively clear-minded."
"It's just that in this way, they will gain more support from the people. If you want to gain the support of the people, you must first conquer them."
Xiao Yi nodded, looked at Yue Hongling with admiration, and said with a smile: "You are right, it is indeed true. It seems that I made the right decision to ask you to come to Longde Mansion."
"Because Gu intends to let you continue to guard Longde Mansion. When the situation becomes clearer and you can replenish your troops and be free to take action, even if Li thief lets Meng Yuan in, he can still fight, and then directly take action to pacify Li thief."
It is impossible to abandon Hebei Road. Jinyang is an important town in the north. If you want to seal the wolf as a subordinate in the future, you must use Jinyang as a springboard and a place to station troops.
In fact, he had already made plans.
Longyou Road has been returned to the imperial court, and it is not difficult to govern. With Di Yan, Fang Xuan and others, more younger officials will be arranged to go to Longyou Road in the future to build it into the granary of the capital. After annexing the six kingdoms in Guanzhong, Xiao Yi now relied on Longyou Road to drive away tigers and devour wolves.
Yue Hongling was a little happy about Xiao Yi's affirmation. Her beautiful eyebrows were full of seriousness and she said in a clear voice: "I will live up to His Highness's trust."
This can be regarded as the death of a scholar who is a confidant.
Because when Xiao Di decreed the marriage and took out the Pisces Jade Pendant, Yue Hongling was actually very hesitant and resistant because she was worried that after the prince Xiao Yi saw her beauty, he would be directly included in the East Palace, and she would never be able to command an army again. possible.
However, Xiao Yi did not do that, but directly ordered her to go to Longyou Road to lead troops to quell the bandits.
Later, the matter of taking a concubine was not mentioned.
Yue Hongling still admired Xiao Yi's broad-mindedness, as a true man should be, and his children's personal relationship could never compare to his ambition and hegemony.
Xiao Yi sighed again and said: "It depends on man-made things. In fact, border troubles are the most serious problem for Daqian. Therefore, the most urgent task now is to quickly settle the internal disputes of Daqian, so that we can have enough energy to recharge our batteries and fight for Daqian forever." of peace.”
"The barbarians in the North have been invading the border since the pre-Qin Dynasty. Later, they even caused chaos in the Central Plains."
"Generally speaking, when the Central Plains dynasty was strong, they quickly bowed their heads and professed their vassalship. Once the Central Plains dynasty was weak, they would immediately raise troops and go south."
"I believe that if there is really civil strife in the Central Plains, the person sitting in that position will still be from the Central Plains. He has accepted the teachings of the Central Plains and will definitely not treat the people of the Central Plains badly."
"Furthermore, after great chaos, there must be great rule. After great rule, there will be prosperity again."
"If they are barbarians, do they know how to govern the Central Plains without education?"
"It will only bring endless wars like the Five Chaos in the Central Plains, causing the entire Central Plains to lose its original laws, morality, and justice, so that the people will not be able to live in a living hell."
Hearing this, Yue Hongling's face was charming and her bright eyes were shining. She fixedly looked at Xiao Yi's stern face, and an indescribable feeling surged deep in her heart.
He took off his armor and chatted for a while. When Xiao Yi said some humorous words and made Yue Hongling laugh, he took advantage of the situation and grabbed his slender hand and said with a chuckle: "Hongling, at noon now Now, let’s eat the food first.”
Yue Hongling's cheeks were on fire and she said "hmm" as loud as a mosquito. It was the first time that a man of the same age held hands like this. What a strange feeling?
She didn't seem to know what shyness meant. On the contrary, she was a little curious and strange about this feeling of rapid heartbeat, and she always found it... quite fun.
Xiao Yi pulled Yue Hongling, who was smiling, and thought she would break away. Unexpectedly, she accepted it calmly, feeling a little funny in her heart, and said kindly: "Okay, let's eat."
After Yue Hongling sat down, Xiao Yi let go of her hand and started to pick up vegetables for her. She seemed to have just realized that Xueyan Fengpin was already a mother like Xia. She responded calmly, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl. Time was absent-minded and looked incomprehensible.
His Royal Highness just now... Oh, I clearly hated men before, why didn't I break away just now?
Don’t you like...? !
Yue Hongling ate big mouthfuls with her eyes in trance. She didn't look worried, but cute and cute.
Xiao Yi said warmly: "After eating, let's go to the wounded barracks to have a look. In the battle at Phoenix Ridge, the Forbidden Army suffered a lot of losses."
Hearing this, Yue Hongling raised her pretty face, which was flushed with embarrassment due to shyness, and became increasingly bright and moving, and said, "I want to see that these wounded soldiers can be considered real warriors after the battle at Phoenix Ridge. With more training, you can become an elite."
When it came to the war, Yue Hongling suddenly came to her senses and didn't want to lose the love between her son and daughter just now.
She is such a person.
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "I think so too. After this battle, I will take them back to the capital. Han Shizhong, Di Qing, and Xin Qiji will serve as generals to train these soldiers."
"The Forbidden Army was crippled before."
"We are starting to recruit new soldiers now. If we want to raise the new soldiers to be as good as Li Thief's elite, I am afraid it will take more than a year and several wars before we can survive and become truly elite soldiers and generals."
"It's better to train these people first. No matter what, they have been in the Forbidden Army for a few years. They have seen blood after the battle at Phoenix Ridge, so they should be trained faster."
"What His Highness said is absolutely true." When Yue Hongling heard this, her bright eyes were filled with surprise, because she thought so at the beginning.
After Xiao Yi put down Li Linfu's rebellion, he retained the soldiers of Longwu Army, Wuwei Army and Jinwu Guard. He did not do anything with these more than 30,000 soldiers. It should be to deal with the rebellion that followed.
Later, it was indeed the case. Taking them to the battlefield should be to give them a baptism, to eliminate those who are greedy for life and fear of death, and some who are weak and incompetent, as well as those who are eating empty pay in the army and do not even dare to kill. Wait for it to be filtered out.
What remains are elite soldiers and generals.
And this has been the case in the army since ancient times.
The real elites can only be called elites after they have gone through hundreds of battles.
While the two were having lunch, Eunuch Huaiji came in and said, "Your Highness, there is a letter from the capital."
Xiao Yi put down his chopsticks, whispered to Yue Hongling, then got up, left the wing, and then took the letter and looked at it.
The letter from the capital came very quickly, and I didn’t know whether it contained good news or bad news.
