Li Xiang has not personally led troops into battle for quite some time.
I still remember that the last time he personally led troops into battle was the Yongliang War many years ago. Having not been on the battlefield for so many years, perhaps people in this world have forgotten that if he, Li Xiang, were not the king, the name Li Xiang would definitely be indispensable among the famous generals in this world.
However, in the past, when he personally led troops into battle, generally speaking, Wang Meng and Guan Zhong were responsible for guarding the rear for him.
These two people have the most comprehensive abilities and can handle all aspects of things. Moreover, they followed him relatively early, especially Wang Meng, who was one of the first people to follow him. Li Xiang always has a little more trust in these old people.
However, these two people are now used by him to check and balance Li Jing. No matter which general under his command puts more than 700,000 soldiers and horses, Li Xiang must ensure that he has sufficient means.
It’s not about trust!
Li Xiang asked Li Jinglai to be the commander-in-chief of this battle, in charge of more than 700,000 troops. This in itself was the greatest trust in him!
If more than 700,000 soldiers and horses are handed over to one person without leaving any checks and balances on him, this may not be called trust, but stupidity. No monarch is willing to place his wealth, life, and kingship on the illusory loyalty of a general!
Compared to the so-called illusory center, they are still more willing to believe in their own methods!
As for suspicion, no qualified monarch is completely free from suspicion. It is just a matter of more or less. If he cannot even learn to be suspicious, then he is not qualified to be called a qualified monarch.
Emperor, in a sense, this profession is originally a dirty profession. Those who can achieve some success in this profession are probably the dirtiest people in the world.
Some words may sound bad to most people, but they are one of the indispensable means for these people.
Returning to the topic, Wang Meng and Guan Zhong were away, so Li Xiang handed over the affairs to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Di Renjie, Jia Xu, Xiao He, Li Mi, and Xun Yan.
If there are any major issues that are undecided, these seven people will vote to decide.
Seven people, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Di Renjie, Jia Xu, Xiao He, Li Mi, and Xun Yan, such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, were his important ministers in the early days. In the early days, they were responsible for governing the important areas of Hezhou. From its establishment to its prosperity, they have an indispensable contribution.
Jia Xu, this was also a counselor he had since his early days. He was a sinister and ruthless person. Although many times people will be devastated when they come up with a plan, it does have an effect.
In many cases, such a character is indeed indispensable. After all, not everyone can use his method. When there is an emergency, if others can't think of a solution, Jia Wenhe might have some vicious plan.
Di Renjie, this is an old minister, but he is still a veteran of the former Jin Dynasty. His influence is quite great. His status in the hearts of people like Song Jing and Zhang Langzhi who are originally from the Jin Dynasty is not small.
Xiao He, Li Mi, and Xun Yan, one is a relative, the other is a clan, and the other is a family. With these three people, they can grasp the balance in all aspects.
On that day, Li Xiang hinted to Wei Xiaokuan in front of Liu Xie that if he could not come back from this battle, he would massacre the entire palace.
Therefore, Liu Xie was willing to be so obedient, and this was exactly the purpose of Li Xiang's threats to him overtly and covertly.
Although the power of the imperial party was only the last remnant under his suppression, there was still one thing that Liu Xie could not change, and that was his status as emperor.
With such an identity alone, sometimes it can easily cause huge trouble to Li Xiang and put him in a disadvantageous situation.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble after he left, Li Xiang's threats almost seemed like a face-off. You know, no matter what the real situation was before, at least on the surface, Li Xiang was still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
However, after he captured Yizhou, it reached a point where Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie's role for him could be said to have plummeted.
Wei Xiaokuan, to a certain extent, this can naturally determine the life and death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Before leaving, Li Xiang divided the military power in his hands into three parts. The most important part was in the hands of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Di Renjie, Jia Xu, Xiao He, Li Mi, and Xun Yan. The generals guarding Luoyang would Act according to the orders of these seven people.
The soldiers guarding the palace were controlled by a confidant, Wei Xiaokuan. The palace has a special location, and the emperor's status is even more special. In order to prevent the various princes from using Liu Xie to cause chaos, Li Xiang must place a confidant in this place to watch.
In addition, Chu Qiao, Xiaomei, Xiaofeng, Xiao Qingfang and other floating room spies and killers entered the palace in order to completely deny Liu Xie the opportunity to cause trouble.
As for the last part of the military power, it is the secret guard composed of a few masters such as Huang Wei and Tian Hu. Li Xiang left this part of power to Wei Zifu to control.
In his back house, there was Zhao Kuangyin's sister and Liu Bang's wife's sister. There must be constant connections with the Han Dynasty, and none of the remaining ones were simple.
Normally, Li Xiang would not delve into some things, and there was no need to delve into them. However, this battle is of great importance and there is no need for chaos. Li Xiang must give Wei Zifu the power to control the situation at the critical moment.
The strength of the three thousand Phoenix Guards is guaranteed. After all, these people are carefully selected and have undergone rigorous training.
The only fly in the ointment is that this army has never experienced a real bloody battle, and at most it has only participated in a few bandit suppression efforts. Therefore, if it is placed in a large-scale battle between the two armies, the performance of this army cannot be guaranteed.
However, Luoyang has not reached the point of letting them fight bloody battles. If it does, I am afraid that Li Xiang has already lost the situation, and it is not possible to turn the situation around with just these three thousand people.
In addition, among these three thousand people, there are countless famous generals, and female generals of all kinds abound. For Wei Zifu, this is already a quite powerful force.
