Chapter 143 Surge 2

Over the years, the master's father has only been dedicated to governing the army and does not pay attention to most of the things in the court. The only thing that can maintain his influence in the court is Feiyi. However, now Feiyi's attitude is unclear. He is just loyal to his duty every day and never gets involved in the open and secret struggle between the master and the power of the king of Zhao. He has been a partner for many years. In addition, he is strict with himself, lenient to others, and has a high reputation in the court. It can be said that Feiyi was the only person whose master could be completely trusted in the court. It was also because of him that Zhao Yong was not in the capital for many years, but the State of Zhao was not in chaos.

Nowadays, Feiyi's neutral attitude also left little influence from the master in the court. Zhao Yong seemed to suddenly wake up overnight that he had almost no foundation in the court. Most of those ministers, even his own ministers, held an unwelcome attitude towards him. There was more than a month before the court. At the time of daily discussion, when Zhao Yong raised objections to everything, His Highness was almost a dead silence. No one objected, and no one supported it.

The resistance of the ministers did not make Zhao Yong frustrated, but aroused his fighting spirit.

Who is Zhao Yong? If the ancient king succumbs so easily, then Zhao Yong is not Zhao Yong, nor does he deserve Zhao Yong.

He first asked Lou Huan to take the position of right division, and had the status of Shangqing. For him, he moved around in the court and won some people who were not strong-willed. You should know that the forces against him in the dynasty are not monolithic, and there are still contradictions between them, which also provides an opportunity for Zhao Yong to win people's hearts. In addition, Feiyi's neutrality also provides a buffer space between him and his son. At least Feiyi has been his best friend for many years and has always been a firm supporter of his own policies.

The reason why he refused to stand on his side all the way was just because of Zhao He. For Feiyi, his loyalty to the State of Zhao is far higher than all personal feelings, and now the king of Zhao is Zhao He.

Compared with the disadvantages in the DPRK, Zhao Yong's advantage in the army is self-evident. Now he created the most elite and core cavalry legion in the State of Zhao, and there is no doubt that these people admire him. Although Zhao He was the king of Zhao, his influence in the army was minimal, and most of the generals had never seen him. Once the master appears in the army, these young soldiers will certainly follow without hesitation.

But this also has a very key problem, that is, during the reign of Zhao Yong, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the military system reform was carried out, and it was stipulated that any mobilization of more than 500 soldiers must be mobilized with the tiger charm given by the king of Zhao. When Zhao Yong conquered Zhongshan, he once held the "general" charm that mobilized the soldiers from all over the country, which mobilized more than half of the military forces of the State of Zhao. After returning to Handan, the war was also understood, and Zhao Yong had no reason to continue to keep the tiger charm, so he handed over the tiger charm again.

According to Lou Huan's advice, the tiger charm should not be handed over so early, and it is more appropriate to keep it in hand. However, Zhao Yong thought about it over and over again and decided to return the tiger charm according to the regulations. Because the system is formulated for everyone, if he takes the lead in making privileges today, there must be as many people who will follow suit in the future, and the rules he has worked hard to set up will be once.

Therefore, in order for Zhao to continue to grow in the future according to the track he set, Zhao Yong still abided by the rules and regulations he set without any negligence. After the general's tiger charm was handed over, in theory, it was impossible for the master to mobilize the battalion in the army. Without the tiger charm, no general would hand over his troops to him. If it is delivered, whether it is right or wrong, it will be punished as a crime of treason.

Therefore, in addition to Yulin's own army, Zhao Yong mobilizes any army in Handan City, which has become Zhao Yong's current predicament. Even if his prestige in the army is high, it is still difficult to mobilize the army without proper procedures. After all, these generals are all people with families and careers, and may not be just for Pursue him and leave his life behind.

Handan is the capital of the State of Zhao, and it is also the bridgehead for the State of Zhao to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains. It has always been stationed with heavy troops. There are more than 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 soldiers outside the city, and there are 20,000 city guards in the city, plus 23,000 guards and Yulin, which constitutes the defense system of Handan City.

The cavalry is the direct line of Zhao Yong's direct line. Naturally, it is firmly in the hands of his confidant. Twenty thousand cavalry are divided into left and right armies, commanded by Zhao Xi and Niu Jian respectively. The step pawn was divided into three armies, led by Shi Hu, Ji Hu Chu and Zhao Yi, a patriarchal general. Therefore, these 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 soldiers, at least 40,000 horses, are in the hands of Zhao Yong's direct line. The Lord's Party has an absolute advantage, and it can be mobilized without a tiger charm at a critical time. However, although these troops are extremely strong in combat effectiveness, there is a fatal certainty. Once the gate of Handan is closed, these armies that lack siege equipment can only look at the wall outside the city and sigh, and there is nothing they can do about things inside the city.

However, the situation in the city is completely opposite. The 20,000 city guards are led by Li Xi, the guard of Handan City. Li Xi is Li Du's cousin. When he was a teenager, he followed Zhao Liehou to fight in the battlefield and became a general. He is cautious, and everything is done by himself. Because he is 50 years old, although he is a general, he is not Zhao Yong's direct descendant. At the beginning, Zhao Yong only saw that he was old and suitable for guarding the national capital, so he let him serve as the guard of Handan City, but now he is tired by him instead.

Needless to say, more than a thousand Yulin and 1,500 guards each hold a corner in the palace, confronting each other, and each of them is in the imping defense zone. Although the two armies are few, they are the elite of the elite, and they are stationed in the important places of the palace. If something happens, they must be the army that can be used for the first time.

Commander Yulin is Zhao Xin, and the commander of the Imperial Guard is Xinqi. Above them, there is also a Langzhong Ling Han Sheng, who is responsible for the overall defense of the palace. However, because of the letter period under the instructions of Feiyi, only Zhao He's Wang's order was the subject, and Han Sheng's military order was completely ignored. This side was equivalent to Han Sheng's empty, so that he could not attack the imperial guard.

Although this letter period is a Hu person, it is not Zhao Yong's direct department. Xinqi is loyal and not good at words. He once guided Zhao Xin's equestrian riding and shooting, which can also be regarded as half of his teachers. When Fei Yi was the prime minister, he knew that he was loyal to the king of Zhao, so he deliberately transferred him to the imperial guard as the commander, and told him to listen to the orders of the king of Zhao alone, and ignore the orders of anyone else.

Facts also prove that Feiyi's vision of looking at people is indeed very good. Xinqi is indeed a fair person, has a good way to govern the army, and is also conscientious. He is really a rare guard leader.
