At the Dinghu County Inn, Zhe Yanzhi took a pack of mutton, a roast chicken, a gourd of wine, and pushed the door into Ye Mengde's room. Seeing Ye Mengde sitting at the table reading a book, he put the things in his hands on the table and said: "I have been traveling in a hurry these days, and I have not been able to eat much. I have also suffered from participating in politics. In Dinghu County today, there happened to be cooked meat for sale on the street. So I bought two kilograms to drink for my political participation."
These days while traveling along the Yellow River in a hurry, there are many times when I can’t even get a hot meal, and my mouth feels like a bird. Ye Meng was overjoyed when he heard that Zhe Yanzhi had brought meat. He said to Oriyan: "It's rare for someone to be thoughtful, come and sit with us!"
After saying that, he cleared the table a little and took the wine and poured it on.
Zhe Yanzhi sat down opposite, opened the chicken and meat one by one, and drank a glass of wine with Ye Mengde.
After eating the meat for a while, Zheyan questioned: "What do you think about the political participation, why is Xuanfu so eager to recruit us back to Shizhou?"
Ye Mengde said: "I heard that Liang Xing sent troops to Lanzhou and occupied Xianzhou. He should invite us back to Shizhou for discussion."
Zhe Yanzhi nodded and said nothing. He thought in his heart, Liang Xingqian left Lanzhou and it was understandable that he wanted to go back. Why did he want Ye Meng to go back?
After a while, Zheyanzhi said again: "A few days ago, Xuanfu once asked me what it would be like if places like the Huoshan Army, Baode Army, and Kelanzhou Army came under the control of Fuzhou. Because the soldiers and horses of Fuzhou, I still have no control over it, so I refused. Do you think joining politics will have anything to do with it?"
Ye Mengde put down his chopsticks, drank a cup of tea, and said, "Jing Lue, do you think it might be related?"
Without waiting for Zheyan to answer, Ye Mengde said: "Of course it's relevant! At this time, Wang Xuanfu has great authority, how could he tolerate his subordinates' pushback? If you refuse if you can't control the troops, then doesn't Li Yongqi of Suide do the same? OK? Where are the others? If you do this, how will Xuanfu lead his troops in the future!"
Oriyan questioned: "It can't be so serious, right? Besides, I have been away from the Ori family for a long time, and I really can't control the soldiers and horses of Fuzhou."
Ye Mengde shook his head: "It's your business not to be able to control the soldiers and horses, not Xuanfu's business. In my opinion, if you don't change your words, you probably won't be sent to Fuzhou this time. The soldiers in Fuzhou If the horses don’t obey, then all of them will be disarmed and returned to the fields. What’s the problem?”
After hearing this, Zheyanzhi couldn't help but feel nervous. Yes, Wang Xiaolie was really driven into a panic and all the soldiers and horses in Fuzhou were disbanded, so what?
Not daring to mention the matter again, Zheyanzhi just drank and chatted with Ye Mengde.
On the third day, Zheyanzhi and Ye Meng arrived in Shizhou. Ye Mengde was arranged to go to the inn, and that night, Wang Xiaolie hosted a banquet in honor of him. Zhe Yanzhi was not invited to the reception banquet in the evening, and it was silent.
Zheyan was in the post house, listening to the wind blowing through the treetops outside, making a rustling noise. Lying on the bed, looking at a lone lamp on the table, I couldn't sleep.
Thinking of what Ye Mengde said when he was in Dinghu County, he couldn't help but sigh. After Zhe Keqiu died, why was Zhe Yan asked to take charge of Fuzhou? Isn't it just to master the Zhe family army as soon as possible and use it for yourself? If Orihiko can't do it, what's the point of asking for it?
What would Wang Xiaoyou do? Orihiko thought about it and found that the prospect was not good. Moreover, the handling of Orihiko Zhi this time left people speechless, but it was just not done well.
Straightening up, Orihiko looked at the light on the table and fell into deep thought.
The next day, Zhe Yanzhi arrived at the state government office without waiting for Wang Xiaolie to summon him. The announcement was made and Zhe Yanzhi was asked to meet Wang Ruohai first. Wang Xiaolie had to wait for a while before he had time.
When he arrived at the state government's reception room, he saw Wang Ruohai already sitting there, and Zhe Yanzhi hurriedly went up to greet him.
Wang Ruohai said: "Sit down, Jinglue. If you have anything, you can tell me."
The soldiers served tea, and Zhe Yanzhi held it in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said: "I heard that Deputy Commander Liang has occupied Lanzhou and Xianzhou. I haven't heard the news yet about what to do with the Kelan Army and the Baode Army."
Wang Ruohai said: "Originally I wanted to hand it over to Fuzhou. It is close and it is a place where Han and Han people live together, so it is convenient for Fuzhou to manage it. But a few days ago, you have refused. There is no way, Xuanfu Division can only find another one. Find a way out.”
Zheyanzhi said hurriedly: "The reason why I refuse is because until now, I have not been able to control the troops in Fuzhou. The staff will give me three more months -"
Wang Ruohai said impatiently: "Then what should we do in the past three months? To wait for you, the whole army must stop? Impossible!"
Zheyan questioned: "If three months is not enough, how about one month? As long as I control the soldiers and horses of Fuzhou, why is it difficult to take care of three armies?"
Wang Ruohai raised his head, looked at Zheyan and asked: "Why do you have to wait for you to control the soldiers and horses of Fuzhou? If you can't control it, then find someone else! The reason why Xuanfu retains the Zhejia army in Fuzhou is because they are useful ! To the west, we can defend Xixia, and to the east, we can garrison several states to ensure flanks for the large army. If we cannot do this, even the family army will be redundant! Send one division at most, and after arriving in Fuzhou, all these things can be done !”
Zhe Yanzhi remained silent. He knew in his heart that the last time he rejected Wang Xiaolie, the consequences would be serious. I just can't think of how serious it is.
At this moment, Wang Xiaolie came in. Zhe Yanzhi hurriedly got up and saluted Wang Xiaolie.
Asking Zhe Yanzhi to sit down, Wang Xiaolian said: "A few days ago, the Xuanfu Division wanted to hand over the Huoshan Army, Baode Army, Kelan Army and Hehe County of Lanzhou to Linfu Road to connect them with other places. One body. But you refused, saying that you did not control the Zhe family army and could not dispatch troops."
Zhe Yanzhi said hurriedly: "Xuanfu, this is the truth, I really-"
Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and said: "Then you don't want to go back to Fuzhou. If you can't help control the place, what's the need for the existence of the Zhejia Army? Should they all be dispersed and reorganized, which would save the Xuanfu Division countless Thoughts. With the current situation, Xixia should have no intention of attacking this dynasty, so it is just right."
After hearing this, Orihiko couldn't help but open his mouth. Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, thinking about Wang Xiaolie. Do you really want to disband the Zhe family army, or are you just scaring yourself? The Zhe family army has been in Fuzhou for many years. It is not easy to disband. Wang Xiaolie is willing to spend so much effort?
Sitting down, Wang Xiaolie said: "After returning from Fuzhou, you must also consider your whereabouts. In my opinion, one of our important tasks this year is to repair the roads in Hedong. You are responsible for traveling from Shizhou to Xizhou The road to Jinzhou extends southward to Yuanqu. What do you think?"
Zhe Yanzhi couldn't help but be stunned. I have always believed that Wang Xiaolie could not give up the Zhe family army, and all his actions were excuses. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaolie not only had to come back from Fuzhou by himself, but also had all the follow-up work arranged.
After thinking for a while, Zheyan said: "The Zhejia army has nearly ten thousand people, and they are the natives of Fuzhou. They are unmatched by other places. If they can be used properly, it will be a blessing to the court. Xuanfu will give me another three months, and I will definitely Can we recover these——"
Wang Xiaolie interrupted him and said: "Three months and three months, how can I have time to spend time with you here? When I send you to Fuzhou, you only need to tell me whether the Zhejia Army can be used. You If you don’t say anything, it takes time, so how can I give you so much time? If the Zhe family army can’t be used, it will be disbanded and other soldiers will be sent. It doesn’t take me three months to form a new army. How easy is it to use? "
Zheyan remained silent. After a while, he asked: "Xuanfu has decided that the Zhejia Army is useless and is going to be disbanded?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "An army must show its value. The value of the Zhejia Army is to guard against Xixia and wait for dispatch. Now to guard against Xixia, there is no need for the Zhejia Army. Other troops can do the same. Wait for dispatch, but they I won’t listen. What value does it have? Don’t worry about the affairs of Fuzhou. Go back and prepare to take up a post in the road construction army.”
Zhe Yanzhi couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't figure out why Wang Xiaolie was so careless. An army of ten thousand people, which had been in battle for a long time, was just disbanded? Can we reorganize the army to be stronger than the Zhejia army?
Seeing Zhe Yanzhi sitting there without saying a word, Wang Xiaolie said: "There is another disadvantage of such a tribal army. They must be leaders of their own tribe, and the orders given to them cannot harm the interests of the tribe. After the leader takes control of the army, he will also think This army is my own capital, and I can propose various conditions to my superiors. You are an official of the imperial court and have left Fuzhou for many years. Otherwise, I would also think that you are against the Xuanfu Division. Now you cannot control the Zhejia Army. The people are even worse. Then we should completely disband and reorganize the army. Under the Xuanfu Division, we are not allowed to have an army that we cannot command."
After hearing this, Zhe Yanzhi finally understood what Wang Xiaolie meant. What if it takes another three months to control the army? If this army doesn't listen to orders and can't use its fingers like an arm, it doesn't meet Wang Xiaolie's requirements. What is the use of such an army?
