Chapter 1219

"General Geshu!"

Wang Chong flicked his sleeves, quickened his pace slightly, and walked over calmly.

The two most famous generals of the empire, Qixi and Longxi, finally met.

Wang Chong had heard the name of the Beidou General countless times, and he had also thought about the situation when he and Ge Shuhan met for the first time, but he never thought that it would be in front of him.

"Lord Wang, sit down, I've been waiting for you for a few days!"

Seeing Wang Chong, Ge Shuhan showed a free and easy smile on the corner of his mouth, stretched out a finger, Ge Shuhan pointed to the location beside him, and soon, a Beidou soldier moved a small stool and placed it next to the small square table.

Wang Chong was silent for a moment, did not hesitate, walked straight over, and sat down opposite Ge Shuhan.

"Thank you, sir!"

Wang Chong is neither humble nor arrogant, his expression is free and natural, although it is the first time they have met, but there is no alienation and estrangement between the two. On the contrary, it gives people the feeling of seeing each other.

"Lord Wang, I already know everything, and this time I'm here to practice it for you!"

Ge Shuhan looked at the young man in front of him and got straight to the point. He rarely uses honorific titles for ordinary people, not to mention that Wang Chong is much younger than him, and there have been contradictions and conflicts between the two before, but this time Ge Shuhan said this sentence from the bottom of his heart.

The word "adult" is enough to prove Wang Chong's status in Ge Shuhan's heart.

"Your Excellency, it's serious!"

Wang Chong said calmly.

"Geshu rarely toasts people, but Lord Wang, I respect you!"

Ge Shuhan said and picked up the wine glass on the table, and said with admiration on Wang Chong.

Wang Chong was silent for a moment, picked up the wine glass on the table and touched it with Ge Shuhan, and drank it all.

"The general's exploits in the West are obvious to all in the world, no matter what the result of this expedition is, the general has already played the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and the majesty of the people of the world. General Wang, you have done what Ge Shuhan wanted to do in his life, but did not do it, I will respect you again for the second cup. ”

Ge Shuhan poured Wang Chong and himself full of wine again, raised his glass and said.

If this scene on the official road spreads, it will inevitably shake the world.

The two imperial generals of the Tang Dynasty, one is a famous man in the army, and the other is a newly rising general star in the army. Their own meeting was enough to shake the people of the world, not to mention, as a well-known senior military veteran in the world, Ge Shuhan actually poured wine for Wang Chong himself, which was enough to make many people in the world who guessed that Wang Chong and Ge Shuhan were not in harmony, and they were shocked.

Boom!

The two white porcelain wine glasses lightly touched in the air, and Wang Chong and Ge Shuhan drank the wine in the cups again.

"Your Excellency praises it!"

Wang Chong drank the second glass of wine, put the wine glass down, and then spoke:

"Wang Chong never thinks that he has any merits, as a soldier, I just did what I had to do, and this is not the credit of Wang Chong alone, but the credit of the entire Tang Dynasty. Speaking of which, Wang Chong also had to thank the three thousand Shenwu troops seconded by the general, if it were not for the help of the general and other adults, it would be difficult for Wang Chong to win this war. ”

Wang Chong said calmly. His body was straight, and there was not the slightest pride in his eyes, only endless calmness and calmness.

Ge Shuhan looked at Wang Chong's eyes, looking at the eyes that were as calm as autumn water, Ge Shuhan finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

"General Wang, Ge Shuhan was wrong, I misunderstood you in the past, Datang has you, it is really a blessing for the people of the world, I will punish myself for this cup!"

Picking up the wine glass on the table, Ge Shuhan quickly drank it all, his expression complicated.

For Wang Chong, Ge Shuhan's attitude at the beginning was not like this. In the Jiedu envoy incident, Ge Shuhan even joined forces with other generals to ask the Holy Emperor to execute Wang Chong, including Wang Chong's establishment of a fief in Wusheng, and Ge Shuhan was also full of hostility towards him. But Ge Shuhan had to admit that this time he was afraid that he would be a villain. In the young man in front of him, there is indeed some kind of power, which is enough to change the entire world of Datang.

- He is by no means the stubborn son of a gentleman he imagined.

"It's a pity, Wang Kunpeng, if you had been born more than ten years earlier, we might not have had the previous misunderstanding. It is not impossible for us to join forces to conquer Wusizang and change the entire world of Datang. ”

Ge Shuhan said, feeling emotion in his heart. "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the fire sees the real gold", many times, it is necessary to go through a lot of tempering in order to see the true quality of a person.

"But we ...... Still lost. ”

Wang Chong said, as soon as his voice fell, there was a sudden silence all around.

Although Wang Chong only said a simple sentence, as long as he knew what happened to Wang Chong, no one did not understand the meaning. At this moment, even the surrounding Beidou Army soldiers were overshadowed. Countless hard battles, countless lives, and persistence between life and death, but in the end, they came to naught when they succeeded. As long as he is a soldier who is born and dies on the battlefield, there is no one who is not touched by Wang Chong's encounter.

Even Ge Shuhan's eyes were a lot darker.

"General Wang doesn't have to blame himself, right and wrong are twists and turns, the people of the world have their own opinions, no matter what the final result of this battle is, the people of the world will understand that the general has done his best. ”

Ge Shuhan said with a straight face.

A simple remark, but there is an extraordinary weight when it is said, with the identity of Ge Shuhan, this undoubtedly also represents the recognition of Wang Chong by the people of the world.

"Thank you general, Wang Chong's gains and losses don't matter, with the general's words, the soldiers who died in battle in Talas are not sacrificed in vain, I thank them for them!"

Wang Chong let out a silent sigh in his heart, lifted the wine jug on the table, poured himself a full glass, saluted Ge Shuhan, and then drank it all.

"The matter of Khorasan is actually not the matter of the general alone, but the matter of the entire Tang Dynasty and all the soldiers. The general may not know that the current Datang is already in crisis, not only in Khorasan, but also in places such as Longxi, Beiting, and Youzhou, I am afraid that they will soon follow in the footsteps of Khorasan. ”

Geshuhan sighed.

"Buzz!"

Hearing Ge Shuhan's words, Wang Chong's heart shook violently, Huo raised his head and looked at the other side:

"General, what does this mean?"

"General Wang, you don't know that since yesterday, the imperial court has sent a supervising army to Beidou City, down to the hundred chiefs, up to the generals in the army, and almost every stratum in the army has a supervising army of the imperial court. Any order, even if it is what I order, needs to go through layers of supervision before it can be conveyed to ordinary soldiers. I have already received news that more than 50% of the existing troops in Beidou City must be reduced, and even if I fight for it, I must reduce more than 30% of the troops within two months!"

Ge Shuhan smiled bitterly.

"What!"

Hearing this, Wang Chong's eyes finally showed an extremely shocked look.

The Beidou Army never wins by numbers, and the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, and in this regard, Ge Shuhan has to carry out more thoroughly than anyone else. There are so many people in the entire Longxi territory, and in such a huge area, Geshuhan has gathered more than 20,000 people in total. With more than 20,000 horses against the entire Uszan Empire, and standing firm for decades, this is something that only Geshuhan could have done in the past.

The Beidou Army was originally not enough in number, and if it was cut by three percent, how to deal with the huge number of Wusizang Iron Cavalry, wouldn't it be self-digging graves.

"Not only that, I have been informed that the imperial court and the Usizang Empire have reached an agreement, and the two sides have signed a peace agreement, and the six ministries have jointly signed a document to strictly prohibit all the soldiers in Beidou City from launching another attack on Usizang without authorization. Even if you are attacked and decide to launch a large-scale counterattack, you must get the approval of the imperial court and the overseers in the army!"

Ge Shuhan continued. These words were like a blockbuster*, which caused a lot of waves in Wang Chong's heart. He never thought that he would be involved in this great change as Ge Shuhan.

"General Wang, the world has changed. If it's just a matter of Ge Shuhan alone, this matter is insignificant, but I'm afraid this is just the beginning, and from then on, Datang has entered an eventful season. ”

Ge Shuhan looked at Wang Chong in front of him and sighed:

"What happened in Khorasan and Beidoucheng is by no means an isolated case, the Eastern and Western Turks, Goguryeo, and Southern Zhao...... , I'm afraid that the imperial court has signed a similar agreement with them, and now it's not just you and me, but all the frontiers of the entire Tang Dynasty, from the imperial court to the borders, all the soldiers are in danger. ”

"But what I'm most worried about is the Tang Dynasty, from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a dynasty or empire, which can stand alone without strong force, and the Tang Dynasty is abandoning its own martial arts!"

Wang Chong looked at Ge Shuhan, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He had never known that so much had happened in such a short period of time.

"This is an unprecedented storm!"

Ge Shuhan said a word to characterize the whole thing:

"General Wang, whether it is me or Gao Xianzhi, or Lord Wang (Wang Zhonghei) of the Beijing Division, or even Fu Meng Lingcha who is in prison, the group of generals who jointly created the glorious history of the Tang Dynasty must have entered the age of not being confused, and even many people are already fifty years old in their fifties. Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, among all the generals, you are the only one who is in the year of the weak crown. I don't know how long the storm will last, or how big it will be, or how many people will survive. I only hope that no matter what, no matter what happens, you will not be discouraged. - Because you are the hope of the whole Datang!"

This translation, Ge Shuhan said very solemnly, and even more with great hope.

This empire is like a pool of stagnant water, which has been undisturbed for many years. If an empire wants to be glorified, if it wants to pass on its splendor and culture, and even reach higher glory, it needs a new flame. is not the kind of ordinary imperial general like himself, but can have strong force, strong perseverance, and a sword-like edge, which can change the entire Tang Dynasty, and even the flames of the world.

Once upon a time, Goshuhan thought that there could be no such "flame" at all. Because this is not something that ordinary people can do, ordinary people can reach the level of him and Gao Xianzhi and other imperial generals, they are already heavenly talents, and it is almost impossible to surpass them.

This idea has not wavered for many years,...... Until I met Wang Chong!
