    (Thanks to wu0811, chietuwei, and Tianyalu****** for their support, thank you!) Yi Feng is indeed wary of Wei Chong. In fact, in this era, in the hearts of many people, especially those who come from aristocratic families  In the minds of officials, family is more important to the country, and real family interests come first.  ¡Æ For them, there is no dynasty that lasts for a thousand years, but there is a family that lasts for a thousand years.  Dynasties rise and fall constantly, and families are passed down for thousands of years.  To put it more bluntly, whoever becomes the emperor is not the emperor, and whoever works for him is not the emperor.  Wei Chong is Yang Guang's in-laws. Who knows whether he will be loyal to the Taiyuan court and the regent of the country, or whether he will be closer to his children's in-laws.  The most reliable thing is to replace him from Yingzhou as soon as possible to avoid being stabbed in the back later.  Sooner or later, this kind of thing should be prevented from happening, and Wei Chong would be saved from embarrassment.  The meeting ended quickly, and two important things were determined at the meeting. One was to form a vanguard army of 100,000 soldiers from Guanzhong and 20,000 Turkic cavalry from the Twelve Guards of Nanya, with He Ruobi as the marching marshal.  Yang Xiong, king of Zhangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, was the marching commander, the former general manager of Guizhou was the marching Sima, and Wei Chong was recruited as the marching commander.  By the way, Yi Feng removed the governors of Guizhou, Yingzhou, and Wuzhou, and appointed Xu Deyan as the governor of Wuzhou and Gao Yi as the captain of Wuzhou.  Qu Tugai was appointed governor of Guizhou, and Yang Yanxun was appointed captain.  Fang Xuanling was the governor of Yingzhou, and Luo Yi was the captain of Yingzhou.  The second important thing decided at the meeting was that except for the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Guanzhong nationality who were the vanguard of the Nanya Army and went south immediately, the rest of the guardsmen would be disbanded and returned to their hometowns to harvest in the summer and plow in the autumn, along with the army.  The civilian husbands also dispersed and returned to their hometowns.  The two resolutions were passed.  After being stamped with the seal of the Crown Prince of Yi Feng, it was immediately sent to the Privy Council.  Orders issued by the Privy Council.  The order was issued, and both the army and civilians began to mobilize.  Those who report to the anti-rebellion camp, and those who receive orders to return to their hometowns return to their hometowns.  Liu Wenjing stood next to Yi Feng, looking at the teams who were packing up their gear. She couldn't help but worry: "With His Highness's order, the Nanya army was scattered. Isn't this a self-defeat of martial arts?" "Yes, Nanya army."  The army has 360,000 soldiers and horses, and now only 120,000 are left to fight against the rebels, who are about to go south," Pei Ji also cooperated.  "In one day, Taiyuan will lose hundreds of thousands of troops. This is unprecedented. Your Highness is not worried about what if Yang Guang comes to attack?" "It's not that more troops are better. Hundreds of thousands of troops plus  With so many civilians gathered here, how much food and grass supply do you think is needed? The pressure is huge. Soldiers are expensive but not expensive. To attack Guanzhong, a 120,000 vanguard army is enough.  Disbanded in the summer harvest. Not only does it save the supply of food and grass, it also directly removes the military power of Gao Jiong and others. Don't you understand? "The speaker was Li Baiyao, who was driven out of the capital by Yang Su.  Looking back now, it was indeed a good fate to follow Yang Lin.  Life is much better than before.  As the son of Li Delin, an important official in the Sui Dynasty who helped Yang Jian win the throne, Li Baiyao was usually a bit frivolous.  But he is really talented when it comes to conflicts and conspiracies.  Liu Wenjing and others were all staring at the number of troops.  But they didn't see that with a single move, the prince reduced Nanya's army from 360,000 to only 120,000. He completely ruined his martial arts. However, he didn't see that Nanya's army belonged to Gao Jiong and other old princes.  The party leader, Prince Yang Lin, had no real control over this army.  Now the prince has reduced the Nanya Army by two-thirds at once. But after careful calculation, since the Nanya Army was not controlled by the prince in the first place, if it has been reduced now, does it have anything to do with the prince?  The prince still holds his Bei Ya Seven Guards and Ten Army and Jiu Ya Nine Towns, as well as the 250,000 Bei Ya Imperial Guards and 180,000 border troops.  It was Gao Jiong and other old princelings who really lost their troops.  Now there are only 120,000 Nanya troops left, and all of them will be sent south. As a result, Gao Jun, Han Sengshou and other old parties will not have a single soldier in their hands.  Isn't this a good thing for the prince and the new party?  As for whether this would have an impact on the Taiyuan court, Li Baiyao felt that it would not have much impact.  Now Yang Xiu is busy guarding Guanzhong and Yang Guang is competing to seize Guanzhong. Who has time to take care of Guandong?  Yi Feng took advantage of this opportunity and first organized the soldiers and horses in the hands of Gao Jun and other old princelings into Nanya, and then sent 120,000 Chinese nationals back to their hometowns. The rest were all disbanded and went home to harvest wheat and beans.  After leaving, the army in the hands of Gao Jiong and others was dispersed overnight.  The ones who benefit the most are naturally the prince and the new princelings. They can take this opportunity to strengthen their control over the Taiyuan court with peace of mind. He can even be sure that the prince's next step is to send troops to take over and occupy the states of Hedong, Henan, and Hebei one by one.  .  In that way, we can truly control Guandong. In that way, even if the rebel army cannot capture Guanzhong first, with Guandong firmly in hand, neither Yang Xiu nor Yang Guang will have the slightest advantage. The prince will  In an invincible position.  Li Baiyao's guess and analysis of Yi Feng was very accurate. Yi Feng did not like to make rash advances, but liked to be down-to-earth and have a solid base.  Hebei, Henan and Hedong are such large areas.The market has not been consolidated yet, so why rush to go to Zhongyuan to fight among the three companies?  Of course, Yi Feng also wants to capture Guanzhong as soon as possible. After all, the status of Guanzhong is not comparable to that of Guandong. It is the political center of the country. If Yang Guang first captures Guanzhong and seizes the capital, it will definitely not be a good thing for Yang Lin.  It's just that Yi Feng has his own ideas and plans. He must first truly control the Taiyuan court and temporarily disband the Nanya Army. This is precisely to relieve Gao Juong and others from relying on them, and then he can better implement himself.  plan.  After sorting out Guandong, it is not too late to send troops into Guanzhong.  As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will make the most of chopping wood.  "Now that the Nanya Army is no longer a constraint, we must use the fastest speed to truly control the three areas of Hedong, Hebei, and Henan, and carry out reforms to remove the general administration and establish provinces, and replace the civil affairs and military of the three areas.  Become ours and let these three places completely become our territory, just like Huaihuang, no one can take it away. Do you understand what I mean?" Yi Feng glanced at Li Baiyao, then asked Liu Wenjing and others.  Man lifts this last veil and tells everyone his goal.  The abolition of general control and the implementation of a provincial system are by no means just a reform of administrative divisions. All reforms actually serve rights.  The general manager, the third-level general manager of the large, medium and small general managers, commanded the military and the people, and had great authority. It was no different from the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty. It can be said with certainty that in the later Tang Dynasty, the governor's office at the beginning  , it¡¯s just that the General Manager¡¯s Office has changed its name.  The Dudu Mansion later developed into a military town, and eventually it inevitably became a warlord separatist regime, and the central government was completely ignored.  Let's not talk about it far, just look at the current chaotic situation. Isn't it because the prince serves as the general manager, and the general manager commands the army, manages the people and supports dozens of states and has extreme power.  When a problem is discovered, it is natural to correct it, especially to prevent someone from starting a rebellion because of it in the future.  This is also a precaution to avoid future threats.  Taizu of the Red Dynasty once surrounded the city with rural areas, and finally won the world.  In the current Taiyuan court, Yi Feng does not intend to change the officials of the provinces and departments in the court first. Those officials are all from the old party. If they are moved, there will be a fight between the old and new parties.  It is better to start at the local level first, and take advantage of the opportunity of abolishing the general manager and establishing provinces to control the civil and military affairs of the local provinces, prefectures and counties. By then, it will be too late for Gao Jiong and others to have any ideas when it comes to central personnel personnel.  , which can be regarded as a kind of boiling a frog in warm water.  Liu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sudden expression, "The winding path leads to a quiet place, it's really good." Actually, Yi Feng still has some words that he hasn't said yet. If it can proceed smoothly according to the current plan and successfully take over and control Hedong and Henan,  When the time comes, we can move to Henan, where we can attack key areas in the east and Yangzhou in the south.  At that time, when the Chinese army was in the process of tackling a key problem, he directly sent a troop to attack Yang Guang's home base of Yangzhou and Huainan, cutting off his food and salary. How could Yang Guang fight this battle? Fighting is not based solely on quantity, otherwise it would not be possible.  Later, Yang Guang went to conquer Korea several times, even sending more than one million troops on one occasion, but he was still defeated in Liaodong.  The more soldiers there are, the more unified the mobilization will be, and the more difficult it will be to coordinate. The greater the need for food, wages, and weapons will be, and the more difficult it will be to transport and supply.  With an army of hundreds of thousands or millions of people, it would be disastrous if they were short of food. Sometimes one of the armies would be defeated, and the result would be a panic, leading to a complete rout.  For the Northern Expedition, the imperial court spent more than ten years preparing and mobilizing millions of civilians before preparing for this campaign.  If Yi Feng doesn't disband those government soldiers and civilians, and hundreds of thousands of people gather in Hedong, Taiyuan won't be able to hold on for long, no matter how much food it stores.  By the same token, Yang Guang has now transferred 100,000 troops from Jianghuai to Guanzhong westward. Along the way, Jingzhou and Yizhou will each send 50,000 troops to join in reinforcements. When they attack Guanzhong, they have 200,000 troops.  To maintain an army of 200,000 people, a large amount of food and grass is needed. Even if the food and grass are transported from the south through rivers, there will still be great logistical pressure.  If Yi Feng takes a boat south from Luoyang at this time, attacks Yangzhou directly, raids Yang Guang's lair, and cuts off the source of food for his army, what will he do?  This was Yi Feng¡¯s real plan. Yang Guang was anxious to attack Guanzhong and asked him to go. Yi Feng also sent 120,000 people there, which was enough.  He led the main force to take over Hedong and Henan first, and then went to attack Yang Guang's base. With the base gone, could Yang Guang remain undefeated?  "And even if Yang Guang is really lucky, he can attack Guanzhong, seize the capital, and have another base.  If Yi Feng is too big, he will just make Luoyang his capital. Then Yang Guang will be guarding that big place in Guanzhong. How long can he hold on?  "Get ready, we need to go south to Luoyang as soon as possible." Yi Feng said to a group of confidants.  Yang Guang, you are rushing to Guanzhong, there is Yang Xiu waiting for you ahead.  Luoyang, on the other hand, has its door open to itself.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
