"I am the military governor of Wuzhou, how can I deceive you and other common people?"

Li Xun smiled, looked at Wang Baiji, and said quietly: "Don't worry, I will mobilize capable people to cooperate with you and won't leave you alone."

After all, Wang Baiji has lived for so many years and has experienced a lot. After listening to Li Xun's words, he pondered for a moment and stopped thinking about it. He immediately knelt down and agreed to the matter.

After they left, Li Cunxiao chuckled and said: "For them, this is a huge profit."

Li Xun smiled and said quietly: "As long as you do something for me sincerely, I will never hesitate to make a profit."

"Handsome and generous."

Li Cunxiao bowed his hands and knew that Li Xun was speaking to him. In fact, Li Xun was not very talented. He was actually very mediocre. But for such a person, Li Cunxiao admired him greatly. The reason was very simple.

Li Xun knew how to employ people and dared to employ people. Shan Qiu, Zheng Chun, Zhao Wei and others were vigorously activated by Li Xun when their official careers were bleak, delegating power to them and allowing them to do things freely.

When Li Xun works, he always grasps the big ones and lets go of the small ones. He sets a tone. If you do it, if you succeed, you will have merit and failure, and if you have mistakes, you only look at the results. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. Dare to employ people, dare to delegate power, never

Without getting involved in the details, this is what many generals, including Li Cunxiao, admire the most.

For example, Li Cunxiao himself had a low reputation and a low official position in the past. However, he gradually gained the favor of Li Xun just because of his military training.

It was also because of military training that Li Cunxiao and Yu Yanhui had great conflicts and had several fierce quarrels. For this reason, Yu Yanhui wrote a letter to sue Li Cunxiao. There is such a big difference in official positions between the two. It stands to reason that

, in order to appease Yu Yanhui, Li Xun should give up Li Cunxiao's official position and give him a severe scolding, but in the end? Li Xun just replied a letter and said, since Li Cunxiao was given the right to train troops, everything

Everything is decided by him. If he succeeds in military training, I will reward him. If he fails, you can just kidnap him and send him to the Governor's Mansion. Don't say anything else, I don't want to hear it either.

This matter finally reached Li Cunxiao's ears. Li Cunxiao was very grateful for this and became more sincere and attentive in his work. Finally, he trained a decent army for Li Xun. Afterwards, Li Xun recommended Li Cunxiao to be the general of the army.

.

Shan Qiu walked in and was slightly surprised when he saw the sand table. Li Xun smiled and explained it to him.

"If it really succeeds, it will be much easier to command operations in the future with twice the result with half the effort."

Shan Qiu said with a smile, the role of the sand table is indeed a relatively big improvement for military warfare. In the past, the generals used the map as the standard when deploying military plans, but most of the people in the army, middle and lower-level officials,

They are all rough and illiterate, so many times, just a few major generals gather together to discuss military deployment. If there is a physical object like a sand table, more people can be summoned to discuss together, and you can hear more

Military opinions, this has to be said to be a good thing for an army general.

"Are you all ready?"

Li Xun asked aloud.

Shan Qiu nodded and said: "All the soldiers in the army have finished their breakfast, and all the supplies have been gathered. They are ready to set off at any time."

Li Xun and others arrived in Xiaogu County at dusk yesterday. Liu Tan hosted a banquet for them and informed them of the news from the front line. Perhaps because there were more and more troops in Xiaogu County, the Tibetans had already found out the news.

According to the military deployment, more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers outside Langzhou City have retreated towards Shanzhou, and they took out Liu Zhigu's handwriting, which said that if Li Xun's army arrives, they will immediately leave Xiaogu County and fight with

Zhao Feidu from Langzhou joined forces to threaten the Tibetan army from the side, reduce the military pressure on Shanzhou, and be ready to counterattack at any time when reinforcements from Anbei arrive.

Although Liu Zhigu's order was slightly different from Li Xun's original military deployment, the direction was generally the same. After thinking about it for a while, Li Xun finally chose to obey, ordered the army to rest for one night, and set off for Langzhou immediately the next morning.

.

The long queue moved forward in an orderly manner.

At the city gate, Li Xiao came to see him off in person.

"Boss Li, have a nice trip. I'll be waiting for your triumphant return in Xiaogu County. When the time comes, you and I will not return until we are drunk."

Li Xiao said goodbye with clasped fists.

Li Xun nodded and said: "We are working hard on the front line, and you must have sufficient supplies to deliver the food and grass supplies here."

In a large-scale war between countries, once a stalemate occurs, it depends on who has stronger national strength, who has sufficient supplies, and who can last longer. Li Xun rushed to help this time, and he did not bring too much supplies.

It is enough for half a month, and the subsequent food and grass supplies will be provided by Xiaogu County.

Li Xiao chuckled and said: "Boss Li, don't worry, I will personally keep an eye on the food and grass supplies given to you. There will only be more, not less."

Hearing this, Li Xun felt slightly relieved, so he didn't say anything more, bowed to Li Xiao, mounted his horse and left.

Langzhou City in Xiaogu County is only more than 200 miles away, which is not too far. The cavalry can arrive in one day. However, most of Li Xun's 30,000 troops are infantry, and there are only 8,000 cavalry. The army marches all the way.

After a day's journey, when it gets dark, we are still more than a hundred miles away from our destination, and we are halfway through the journey.

The army camped on the spot to rest, and the scouts scattered around to inspect and guard.

Zhao Wei and Shan Qiu are both experienced veterans. They can just let them do the things in the military camp. Li Xun can also relax.

"Sima Tu, is life in the military camp still a habit?"

Sima Tu drank tea and said with a smile: "If a noble person like my lord can live a good life, what do my subordinates have to complain about?"

Li Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

After dinner, Li Xun and Sima Tu chatted for a while and then went to rest.

Late at night, there was a commotion outside the tent. They were marching outside, and everyone's nerves were tense. Li Xun was no exception, so he slept very lightly. When he heard the sound, he woke up immediately.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Li Xun yelled loudly while getting dressed, with a look of displeasure on his face. It's so late and noisy. Do you want anyone to sleep?

The door curtain was announced, and Hua Shaosheng, the commander of the personal soldiers, walked in and said loudly: "My lord, General Li Cunxiao Li is back and is waiting outside to see you."

Li Cunxiao?

Li Xun was stunned. Didn't he send him to lead three thousand cavalry as the vanguard to rush to Langzhou to join Zhao Feidu? Why is he back now?

Li Xun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and he didn't even bother to put on clothes, so he just wore his underwear and strode out of the tent.

Li Xun saw that Li Cunxiao had a heavy face, walking back and forth, clenching his fists into his palms from time to time, and letting out long sighs. He looked very anxious.

"Li Cunxiao, are you back like this?"

Li Xun asked urgently.

Li Cunxiao strode forward, knelt on the ground, and said bitterly: "The last general led his army to Langzhou City with thirty miles left, and was attacked by the Tibetan army. The enemy's numbers were many times larger than mine, and the last general only

He was able to lead an army to break out of the encirclement. Three thousand brothers, nearly a thousand died in the battle. At the end of the day, the general is incompetent. Please punish me, the commander-in-chief."

Li Xun was shocked and asked, "What about Zhao Feidu?"
