Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In the Chunfeng Pavilion, there is a very special private room, which usually cannot be entered by outsiders.

In addition to a giant dining table inside, there are stairs connected to the backyard.

Jin Yiwei regards this place as a stronghold for meeting, and if someone follows him, he can easily escape.

It didn't take long for all the people who were invited to come.

At this time, you can see the difference between people.

Yuchi Jingde and the others were laughing and laughing, as if enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by Yingying Yanyan.

With a calm expression, Du Ruhui chatted with the girls before walking up to the second floor, quite like a celebrity.

The other civil servants were different, especially Fang Xuanling, whose face turned purple after entering.

A few of them ran up to the second floor almost like fleeing for their lives.

After entering the door, looking at Liu Bai, he wished he could eat him.

At this moment, they were extremely envious of Du Ruhui.

Get promoted, get rich, die wife, no one cares about what you do

Chapter 589 The people in this circle can be called the pinnacle of power in the Tang Dynasty

Everyone sat down, teasing each other one by one.

Qu Tutong and Zhang Gongjin were laughing at Fang Xuanling, while Yu Shinan sat next to Liu Bai and complained about him.

Yuchi Jingde yelled that he wanted all the girls from outside to come in, and he was very dissatisfied with Liu Bai who clearly arranged the dinner in a brothel but didn't ask two girls to come up to accompany him.

The dishes have come.

Li Chengqian didn't regard himself as a prince, he sat at the door and scooped egg custard with a spoon.

Next to him is Xi Junmai who almost shrunk himself into a ball

Eyes open!

Really eye-opening!

It was the first time for him to sit and eat with so many big shots.

I used to fantasize about sitting at the same table with them, and I must be more elegant.

The bosses love to drink, so they must offer a few more glasses.

But after sitting here for a long time, no one paid attention to him.

Moreover, the image of these old guys in his mind has also been completely subverted.

Is this the famous official who created the Great Tang Dynasty?

Looking at Du Ruhui who gnawed on chicken legs until his mouth was full of oil, Xi Junmai felt more and more that this guy looked like his second uncle from the countryside.

Qu Tutong wished he could roll the whole duck into the spring pancake without adding any vegetables, and swallowed it whole, chewed it two or three times before swallowing it.

Said to Liu Bai: "You are not kind, the craftsmanship of Chunfeng Pavilion can't catch up with the cook in your family."

Dai Zhou was also unambiguous. He took all the fried small yellow croakers from the plate and put them into his own bowl, saying: "Yes, they are all from our own family. How nice it is to eat at home!"

Liu Bai held the claws of a hairy crab, and said: "It's not like you are not here on New Year's Eve, if the Supreme Emperor makes a fuss, who can stop it?"

After all, Fang Xuanling was born as a serious scholar, and he has the best eating appearance. Similarly, he is also the best at eating.

Palm-sized sea cucumbers are cut into pieces with a small knife and eaten with a fork.

Chew carefully for a while, close your eyes, and enjoy the delicious sea cucumber.

"Anyway, I don't intend to participate in the dinner with the Supreme Emperor. The jar of wine last time almost sent me to the west. Thinking about it until now, my brain still hurts."

Everyone chatted with each other.

A large table of delicacies was messed up by misfortune.

It's not spring yet, the number of hairy crabs is limited, and the technology of artificial breeding is not mature. After transporting a hundred and ten catties from Shannan Road, there are at most seven or eight alive.

If you choose ones that are big enough and have delicious meat, there will be even fewer.

Therefore, there is only one per person on the table.

After Yuchi Jingde finished eating his hairy crab, he took aim at the one in front of Xi Junmai again.

"Boy, do you want to eat? Don't give it to me!"

Xi Junmai used to work in Zuo Wuwei, of course Yuchi Jingde knew him, so he took it away without waiting for his reply.

"It's a pity that it's so big. If it's in autumn, it's full of crab paste!"

Watching him stuff the pliers into his mouth, chewing so loudly, Xi Junmai felt his toothache.

The group ate together and seldom drank.

Even if there are enough people gathered, they will just drink some grape wine.

Finally, I was full, and replaced the mess on the table with tea and snacks, and finally it was time to talk about business.

Only then did Liu Bai introduce Xi Junmai to everyone.

Xi Junmai blushed and bowed to the old guys one by one.

As for the old guys, they just nodded and hummed a few times politely, which was enough to save face for Mr. Xi.

After the introduction, no one paid any attention to him.

In fact, letting him come is just a formality.

In front of the old guys, make a familiar face, and it will be easy to handle things in the future.

Xi Junmai didn't feel wronged.

His identity is very different from the group of people present here!

In the past, even if he knelt down, it is estimated that these old guys would not necessarily snort.

On the contrary, his excitement was even stronger.

You're welcome, it means you're one of us!

Liu Bai asked Xi Junmai to sit back, tapped the table a few times, and said, "It's time to get down to business!"

In a word, the old guys who were slack and lazy before the moment became serious in an instant.

Xi Junmai trembled all over, and quickly sat upright, rubbing his hands back and forth unnaturally.

The people in this circle can be called the pinnacle of power in Datang!

He felt that he had stepped into this circle with one foot.

Liu Bai said solemnly, "Everyone, the imperial court has determined the policy of using troops against the Lu family, but everything else is exhausted!"

In less than a month after the new year, the same meeting has been held no less than five times!

Few people know that every move of the Liu family, and even the policies of the three provinces against the four great families, are all finalized in this kind of meeting after careful study, judgment and discussion.

The spread is too large, and any decision may have a great impact on the result.

Even if Liu Bai had eighty heads, he still couldn't cover everything.

Calling them to a meeting can play a very good role in checking for leaks and filling vacancies.

Under normal circumstances, it is Liu Bai who raises the agenda, and Fang Xuanling presides over the meeting.

After bringing up the topic, Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment, stretched out two fingers, and said, "We must take action against the Lu family and the other three families at the same time. If any one is missed, it will be a serious problem. There are two key points in this matter! "

"First of all, the most important thing is the issue of time. Xi Jun bought and led troops to conquer the Lu family, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used the stock affairs bureau to attack the other three families. It must be done at the same time!"

"Secondly, it is to prevent Changsun Wuji from counterattacking. He did not grab the position of the commanding general, so he will definitely get in the way!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone can speak freely!"

Li Chengqian was the first to raise his hand, and said: "The Stock Affairs Bureau is ready, you can do it anytime!"

Fang Xuanling nodded, and looked at Qu Tutong, who was temporarily serving as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Qu Tutong had prepared long ago, took out a map from his pocket, and spread it on the table.

Several veterans gathered around.

Seeing that Xi Junmai was still sitting there dumbfounded, Yuchi Jingde glared at him and said, "Is it okay with you kid?!"

Xi Junmai hurried forward, feeling so excited that she wanted to cry.

Qu Tutong pointed to the red arrow that had already been drawn on the map.

"The old man and the others have already determined the specific route of the march. Eight thousand troops are not too many. After a day's rest along Luozhou, the cavalry will rush northward, which can be used as a surprise attack!"

He pointed to Fan Yang's position again, and drew a circle with his finger.

"The Lu clan hastily prepared to raise troops. It is impossible to control all of Fan Yang's area. Lao Duan has two hundred Xuanjia troops under his command. Now he has sent out to act as scouts. When the army arrives in Luozhou, we can wait for news from the scouts and find out where Lu clan stationed troops in Fan Yang. After the gap, take it down in one fell swoop!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at each other with Yuchi Jingde and others, and said: "Send troops tomorrow, march for six days, within ten days, the Lu family will be destroyed!"

Chapter 590 The bosses think about problems, they are much more thoughtful than you

Xi Junmai kept everything Qu Tutong said in his heart.

This is a strategy carefully studied and judged by the old men!

The military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, probably only himself, can enjoy this kind of treatment!

He looked at the map carefully, thought for a moment, and raised his hand hesitantly.

Swah——

In an instant, everyone's eyes came together.

As soon as the old men mentioned fighting, all the ruffian energy in their bodies disappeared.

Xi Junmai felt that their eyes were like knives, making him feel uncomfortable.

Qu Tutong, the oldest, waved his hand and said, "Come on!"

As soon as he spoke, the old men withdrew their sharp gazes.

Xi Junmai's back was a little chilled, and he bit his head and said: "Old commanders Mingjian, although the last general has not fought a few battles, he still has some understanding of the terrain in the east of the river. If he enters the Yellow River from Tongguan and walks It is indeed more than enough to reach Luozhou within six days if the waterway goes eastward, yes, yes"

He took a deep breath, forcing his tone to calm down.

"However, the terrain in the middle of the Yellow River is so steep that ships can't pass through it at all. If you just rely on the soles of your feet, it may take at least eight days to reach Luozhou!"

Everyone didn't speak, and looked at Xi Junmai with a bit of banter.

The corner of Yuchi Jingde's mouth twitched a few times, feeling that Xi Junmai, who was born in Zuowuwei, had humiliated him.

A little bit annoyed and said: "Who told you that the 8000 people are infantry?!"

Xi Junmai was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up all of a sudden.

"They're all cavalry?!"

No wonder he was so surprised.

Whoever it was, knew that he was going to command eight thousand cavalry, and he would look like this.

Datang's cavalry is a treasure.

It is so precious!

The twelve guards guarding Chang'an, plus the soldiers from Zhechong Mansions, the total number of cavalry is less than 7!

This is impossible.

In the Tang Dynasty, there is only a horse farm at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The number of horses trained every year is less than a fraction of the number of cavalry.

Ninety percent of the horses had to be captured.

If it weren't for the victory in the Turkic War, the number of cavalry in Datang would probably not even reach [-].

Over the years, one of the main reasons for operating the Western Regions is war horses!

Not to mention that Xi Jun bought it, even the old men rarely have such affluence.

Cheng Yaojin's expedition to Liaodong last year brought only [-] cavalry.
