"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1260
"Your Majesty, Vice Marshal Li has arrived."
In the farmyard, Chen Ziang was playing chess with his aide, Yuan Pu, when a personal guard strode over and reported in a low voice.
Chen Ziang looked up and saw Li Lang in military uniform standing at the gate of the farmyard with more than a dozen personal guards.
"Ask him to come in."
Chen Ziang opened his mouth and ordered.
"No!"
After the personal guard gave a military salute, he turned around and strode towards the gate of the small courtyard.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to make a cup of tea for Vice Marshal Li."
Staff member Yuan Pu also stood up wisely, and asked for instructions respectfully.
"Go."
Staff member Yuan Pu went to the back kitchen, and Li Lang came to Chen Ziang alone.
"The last general pays homage to His Majesty!"
After Li Lang stood still, he stood up and gave a military salute, with the demeanor of a tough soldier.
"sit."
Chen Ziang saw the serious Li Lang, smiled and beckoned Li Lang to sit down.
Li Lang sat down on the opposite side of the chessboard, his upper body still straight.
"Can you play chess?"
Chen Ziang asked with a smile after gathering the chess pieces again.
"Know a thing or two."
"Come with me for the next game."
Chen Ziang invited.
"The last chess player is bad at chess, so I dare not make a fool of myself in front of His Majesty." Li Lang said modestly.
Chen Ziang waved his hands and said, "You and I are brothers who were fought on the battlefield, so don't be restrained."
"Then the general will show his shame."
Seeing Chen Ziang being so easy-going, Li Lang also relaxed.
The two re-arranged the chessboard, and Yuan Pu, the staff member, made a pot of tea for each of them, and then retreated. Only Chen Ziang and Li Lang were left in the courtyard.
"Now that the large-scale war is over, what are your plans for the future?"
After Chen Ziang played a white chess piece, he asked Li Lang with a smile.
"At the beginning, the father died and the son had no choice but to join the army. Later, he was honored to be appreciated by His Majesty. He fought hundreds of battles in the South and the North. Now that the world is at peace, the general wants to disarm and return to the farmland. He will be a rich man for the rest of his life."
Since ancient times, it has been a cunning rabbit and a running dog. Now that the empire has been established, powerful enemies can't take care of themselves.
As the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, Li Lang's prestige in the army is second only to Chen Zi'ang, but in fact he has trouble sleeping and eating.
In the past, there were countless powerful enemies, and he needed to charge for Chen Ziang and destroy the enemies.
But now that the enemy is gone, he has become a threat to Chen Ziang with a heavy army in his hand.
Li Lang was also worried that Chen Ziang would start to deal with these veteran generals, so he wanted to retreat and avoid this vortex in advance.
After all, being able to become the commander-in-chief of the army, Li Lang is no longer the titan who only knew how to fight.
"You are my right-hand man. If you want to become a rich man, then I will lose a lot of help." Chen Ziang shook his head.
"Your Majesty has countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and the last general is really not worth mentioning."
Li Lang also said slowly after placing a chess piece.
"I know what you're worried about."
Chen Ziang looked at the cautious Li Lang, smiled and gave another shot.
"It's nothing more than worrying about Qiaotu's death, but do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Your Majesty atones, the last general"
Seeing what Chen Ziang said, Li Lang's expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
"Get up, what are you doing?"
Seeing Li Lang frightened like this, Chen Ziang couldn't help shaking his head.
At the beginning, they ate food from the same pot, but now that there is a difference between the monarch and his ministers, the relationship between the two parties has indeed not returned to the harmonious state of eating meat and drinking heavily.
"Don't worry, as long as you do things faithfully for me, I will never treat you badly, and I will never do things that hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy." Chen Ziang comforted Li Lang.
"Although the empire has been established, there are still many powerful enemies who are eyeing us. Hundreds of years ago, countless lands were plundered by the enemy and have not been returned. As the deputy commander of our Qinghe army, you can't just give up. What do you think?"
"Willing to die for His Majesty!"
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Li Lang also knew that he??Worry is unnecessary, so I made a statement again to express my loyalty.
"That's right."
Chen Ziang smiled and dropped another pawn with a smile on his face.
"It's not a big deal for the army to gather in the province in the cloud. The cost of food and fodder transportation is too high, so I am going to withdraw the army, but someone needs to stay here to guard the border."
"You are mature and prudent, and you are meticulous in your work. I want you to command the Second Army and stay in the cloud. Are you willing?"
"Everything is in accordance with His Majesty's will."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Lang agreed.
With his prestige and qualifications, once he returns to the power center of the empire, he will inevitably be involved in various whirlpools.
If you stay in the border area to guard against the Holy See, the Emperor Shan Gao is far away, not only free, but also able to avoid falling into power struggles, so Li Lang couldn't be more suitable.
"If you have any good ideas about guarding the border, you can talk about it."
Chen Ziang put down the chess pieces in his hand and stood up from his seat, and Li Lang also stood up.
"The last general thinks that offense should be used instead of defense."
"Tell me specifically."
"You can secretly support those forces near the border that oppose the Holy See, and send them weapons and supplies to disrupt the interior of the Holy See, making them overwhelmed and unable to invade."
"At the same time, we can form an elite cavalry unit and often cross the border to raid their important targets in order to maintain an offensive posture and put pressure on them."
After hearing Li Lang's words, Chen Ziang also nodded. This method of holding the initiative in his own hands is indeed very good.
After all, compared to the state of building a defense line and being beaten passively, they can get very good results by taking the initiative to attack.
"The above ideas can be done freely, but for cross-border attacks, we need to be careful. We must not only weaken the enemy's strength, but also avoid completely angering them. Just make small troubles and maintain a high-pressure situation." Chen Ziang urged. .
"No!"
Li Lang nodded and agreed.
"In addition to maintaining a state of high pressure on the enemy so that they dare not invade easily, I have another important task for you." Chen Ziang continued.
"I also ask Your Majesty to order."
Seeing what Chen Ziang said so solemnly, Li Lang was also curious about what the task was.
"The grain and fodder from the southern region is transported to Yunzhong Province. If one bag of grain is transported here, two bags will be consumed on the way. It can be said that the cost of transportation is high." Chen Ziang sighed.
"Such a distant supply line is easily interrupted for various reasons, so the border troops need to be self-sufficient."
"Your Majesty means, let me farm the fields?" Li Lang guessed.
"exactly."
"Soldiers stationed at the border can garrison the border. On weekdays, half of them guard the border and practice, and half open up wasteland and farmland. This will not only solve the food problem, but also avoid a lot of idle waste of manpower."
You know, only the Second Field Army Corps directly under Li Lang has 100,000 soldiers. If they can be fully utilized, they can play a huge role.
Moreover, Chen Ziang did not let them guard the border for a long time, the soldiers guarding the border had to be rotated, so as to avoid the situation that the soldiers guarding the border would only know how to farm and lose their combat effectiveness in the end.
