Li Hao, Li De, and Li Rui both came from the secret camp. Now Li Hao served as the General of the Central Army in the Left Guard of Qinzhao, Li Rui served as the General of the Right Guard of Liu Chenglin, and Li De served as the General of the Central Army in the Right Guard of Right Guard. They have all grown into famous and powerful generals in the army. If combined with the Modao team led by Li Han alone, Li Mi served as Shaoqing in the Weiwei Temple and also served as the General of the Left Guard of the Left Guard, Li Gan served as the General of the Right Guard of Right Guard. A total of six Li Ze's direct descendants from the secret battalion held great power in the army. These people are also the most powerful candidates for Li Ze to control the army.

This time when Li De got married, these people were finally able to gather together. After Li De got married, Li Mi, Li Han and others hurried back, while Li Hao and Li Rui were kept.

They returned to Wuyi, naturally, not just to attend Li De's wedding, but also to report to Li Ze on the current situation of the two armies.

The left guard is now stationed in Dizhou, facing Hou Xiyi, the governor of Pinglu, who surrendered to Zhu Wen, and the right guard is stationed in Mozhou, but is facing Deng Jingshan, the general of Zhang Zhongwu, the Lulong army.

Li Ze looked at them like his own children. Although in terms of age, Li Hao, Li De and Li Rui were only big and small compared to him, these people were Li Ze who slowly cultivated them from a beggar to this point of time, from a small person in the mud to such a general who would tremble for the world. That sense of accomplishment naturally made Li Ze very proud.

These people are his basic base.

Their destiny is closely tied to themselves, share their destiny and breathe together. One prospers and one suffers from one loss.

"Let's talk first!" Li Ze looked at the subordinates who were sitting straight and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes!" Li Rui stood up and glanced at everyone, especially on Li Hao's face for a long time. When in the secret camp, Li Hao and Li Mi were the leaders of them, and at that time he was just a soldier in the Xinyue Fox team, ranking twelve. In order to make the best, he took risks and was beaten, but all his efforts are worth it now. Although he almost lost his life several times, he was in exchange for today's equality with Li Hao in the lobby.

Li Rui felt that his future must be greater than Li Hao.

"Since the end of November, Zhang Zhongwu gathered 100,000 slave troops into Pingzhou, the atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides has become increasingly tense. These slave troops built city walls, fortresses, settlements on the border between Mozhou and Pingzhou, and began to reclaim a large amount of land to prepare for the spring plowing in the coming year." Li Rui said: "The other party's idea was to gradually infiltrate into Mozhou. In less than two months, these slave troops had invaded Mozhou many times on a large scale, with the main purpose of robbing. Zhang Zhongwu did not provide them with salary. If they wanted to survive, they had to rob. In fact, according to our information, these people not only robbed us, but also Pingzhou and their own people."

Speaking of this, Li Rui couldn't help laughing, "The powerful households in Pingzhou have also clashed with these people many times."

"What's going on with the composition of these slave troops?" Li Ze frowned. "We have such good conditions in Mozhou, Yingzhou and other places to attract the influx of population. Is it possible for these slave troops to be instigated?"

Li Rui shook his head and said, "Young Master, the possibility of these slave troops being instigated by us is extremely small. The composition of the slave troops is relatively complicated. Most of the slave leaders are gentry and even bandit leaders in some places in the Northeast. These people are originally blood-sucking insects lying on slaves to suck blood. Under the pressure of Zhang Zhongwu's army, they had to take their subordinates to move towards Pingzhou. The control of their subordinates is quite strict. Not only do they seize the families of these slave troops, but they also have extremely cruel methods of placing seats and rumoral methods. One person fled, the whole family died, and even implicated their neighbors."

"The governor of Li Anguo, Mozhou, once organized a group of slave arresting teams to attack these small-scale invasions, but the slave arresting team suffered a lot of losses. Although these slave troops were poorly equipped, they fought extremely hard when fighting because they knew very well that once they died or were captured, their families would be ruined. Even if they caught these people, they would try to escape back."

Li Ze couldn't help but shake his head.

"After these people arrived at the border, they built fortresses and docks, drove the slave army to reclaim fields, and invaded Mozhou in groups to rob. Their actions were aimless and irregular, which caused us great difficulties. The Right Guard only had 30,000 troops in Mozhou, and its main energy was to focus on Deng Jingshan's main force. There was indeed a lack of effective means for these slave army that were coming and going. Unless a full-scale attack was launched, the stations of these slave army were removed." Li Rui said.

"If these cluster sites are removed, will the right guard have enough troops?" Li Ze asked.

"If you want to completely remove the troops, the right guard's strength is obviously not enough." Li Rui said: "Deng Jingshan takes the city as the pearl, and uses these garrison points as lines, and the bead lines are connected to form a defensive whole, which leads to the whole body. If you want to remove these garrison points, you must consider Deng Jingshan's main force. The right guard has made a plan, and at least one guard's force is needed to be at ease."

Li Ze pondered for a moment and said, "After you go back, tell Liu Chenglin that I will give him a guard's force. The Zuo Jinwu Guard stationed in Zhuozhou will arrive in a month. Liu Chenglin will have one month to sweep away the scum above the border for me."

"I understand." Li Rui said excitedly. The two guards' soldiers participated in the battle, and this was a big battle.

"This war is aimed at eliminating the garrisons of these slave troops." Li Ze continued: "Tell Liu Chenglin that this battle is not aimed at occupying many cities in Pingzhou, nor is it aimed at destroying many troops in Deng Jingshan. What I want is to clean up those garrisons. We must never let these garrisons become climate on the border."

Although he was a little surprised, Li Rui nodded.

"When you go back, you have to bring someone back." Li Ze suddenly smiled and said, "This is the judge of your Right Guard, named Gu Han."

"I understand." Li Rui was extremely smart. After Li Ze said this, he probably understood that this judge named Gu Han was probably with a special mission.

"Li Hao, let's talk about the situation in Dizhou!" Li Ze turned to look at another general.

"Young Master, at this stage, Dizhou is mainly engaged in the integration and adjustment of the army." Li Hao stood up and said, "General Qin led 20,000 Zuo Xiaowei into Dizhou, and jointly reorganized into Zuo Xiaowei with our 5,000 troops stationed in Dizhou. Both sides still need to be adjusted in many aspects, officers need to adjust, military orders, and Caodian need to adapt again, so so far, Zuo Xiaowei can only be said to have initial combat effectiveness."

"Can the integration be completed at the beginning of next spring?" Li Ze asked bluntly.

Li Hao hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "It can be done."

"Yeah!" Li Ze said huh: "Let's talk about the overall situation in Dizhou and the reaction of Pinglu on the other side?"

"Pinglu Hou Xiyi has always been wary of us. He has always had heavy troops in front of us. After General Qin led his troops into Dizhou, he even deployed almost all his elite forces to our front. According to information, in the past month alone, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers were mobilized. The friction between the two sides on the border has never stopped at that time. Before General Qin entered Dizhou, we had occupied several strategic points on the opposite side. Focusing on these points, we fought and stopped, but we never stopped, but it was just a small scale."

"Governor Yang Wei and Chief Lu Guan, have been preparing for the war since they took office. In the past two years, Dizhou has accumulated 50,000 troops in a year of food and grass. Once the war begins, Zuo Xiaowei does not need the center to mobilize food and grass, and can be used locally. It will take less than a year to defeat Lu?" Li Hao looked at everyone confidently and smiled.

Li Ze also laughed. Yang Wei and Lu Guan, these are all core members of Yixing Society. Since taking office, they have been preparing for the victory of Pinglu, ready to take over, and when they need to be useful, they can get it.

Han Qi, who attended the meeting, was a little shocked. Dizhou had prepared 50,000 troops for a year of food and supplies silently. Naturally, they would not do anything without orders. It was obvious that they were instructed by Li Ze. In other words, Li Ze had already made up his mind a long time ago.

Of course, as the Minister of War, Dizhou does not need to support food and grass, which is of course excellent.

Li Ze spent a whole half of a day communicating with him about the subsequent changes in the strategic plan of the Zhenzhou court, and finally reluctantly convinced the Minister of War.

In Han Qi's opinion, this time the cake is really a bit big.

Northeast China will fight Zhang Zhongwu to promote peace by fighting. This is something that will be completed this year.

The northwest had to fight against Tubo, and this battle was the most difficult to fight. In the early stage, I was afraid that I would be defeated. The officers and soldiers of the border towns were no longer as good as before and could not fight. However, the Zhenzhou court could only intervene when they were defeated and could not support them. This was very passive in form. Standing at the height of the center, Han Qi especially hated such local separatist dramas. If the imperial army could be allowed to enter these border towns in advance, would Tubo come? I was afraid that the Tubo people would seriously think about whether they could get something? But now, they could only watch these border towns fail and then intervene. Even if they were just defensive counterattacks, if they lost the first move on the battlefield, it would be much more troublesome to fight. The one who wanted to resist the Tubo people this time was the troops of Li Cunzhong and Zhang Jia.
