The boss is angry, and the guy can only be a man with his tail between his legs. Jiang Wan was questioned, everyone was concerned, and Xu Shu and Pang Tong were even more worried that the next wave of attacks would sweep them.

Sure enough, after asking Jiang Wan, the next ones to be named were Pang Tong and Xu Shu: "Two military advisors, Zhang Lu has been a heavenly master in the north for so long, how did he get out, have you figured it out?

"Back to His Royal Highness, the terrain of Hanzhong is complex, although the broken military camp has completed the deployment of Dingjun Mountain, but it will take time to fully deploy and control. Pang Tong replied in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, what is this called? I asked the immigrants just now to give you an excuse! Teacher, you say!" Liu Yan snorted lightly, and the fire spread to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu frowned, and arched his hand: "The subordinates and the Zuo Junshi have preliminarily agreed to let Zhao Yun, Wen Ping, Wei Yan, and Le Jin be in the same town in Hanzhong." As for how many soldiers and horses will be stationed there, it is still up for debate. ”

"That's ......" As soon as Liu Yan heard these four names, she immediately switched from the angry mode to the calm thinking mode. After all, getting angry is just a simple matter of finding something to vent. But when it came time to discuss business, she immediately calmed down.

At first glance, these four people have no problem, and it is no problem to go to Hanzhong together to engage in military construction. Huang Zhong is old, so it is appropriate to stay in Chengdu as a reserve army.

However, if you think about it carefully, all four of them have problems. On the Jingzhou side, Ma Chao was sick and couldn't get better in a short time, the battle of Lujiang was lost, the Cao family on the other side was ready to move, and Jingzhou and Xinyangzhou had external troubles.

In this case, wouldn't it be necessary to send Zhao Yun or Wei Yan back to increase the defensive power?

Wen Ping seems to be an all-round man on land and water, but in fact, the level of land combat is average, and Lejin is the opposite Cao Clan, if Zhao Yun or Wei Yan is not there, or neither of them is there, will there be a problem with the combination of Wen Ping and Lejin?

Thinking about it like this, Liu Yan's whole face was not good: "This matter needs to be considered again." Prime Minister, the palace will give you six months, and within half a year, vacate Hanzhong for me! Similarly, during these six months, the two military divisions carefully considered the construction of the Hanzhong military city, the arrangement of troops, and the selection and dispatch of garrison generals. This is the top priority for a period of time to come, and the three of you should work together to supervise it, and there is no room for error!"

The three people who were named came out together and bowed down to receive the order. Pang Tong and Jiang Wan hated to be able to give Xu Shu a trick on the spot. In addition to being a military advisor and a teacher, this is also the airbag of his colleagues.

Pang Tong knew that he had not discussed with Xu Shu who would go to Hanzhong to garrison troops, after all, the combination of Wei Yan and Huang Zhong was quite easy to use now, even if he wanted to build a military city in the future, it would be a long time later, and it would not be on the agenda.

But he also knew that Xu Shu was not a person who would talk nonsense, so these four people must be the candidates he had already thought of.

Of course, Xu Shu mentioned these four people at this time, with only one purpose, that is, to change the topic.

He had already seen that the apprentice was angry, and at this time, anyone who spoke might be scolded, but fortunately the apprentice had not mentioned the war in Lujiang until now, whether she didn't want to mention it or forgot to mention it, at this time, she had to pull away from the topic, implying that she couldn't mention the matter of Lujiang.

In fact, Liu Yan knew this very well in her heart, but she just wanted to vent and find Jiang Wan and Pang Tong to be angry, they would not be suspicious, but after scolding the two of them, they found that the rest of the people had vegetables, and they suddenly felt bad.

If you continue to scold, your anger will be smooth, but your image will be ruined. The demolition and reconstruction of Hanzhong is a huge project, and it cannot be completed in 30 or 50 days, and if we hold on to this problem today and scold all our subordinates, it will become arrogant and unreasonable, and it will inevitably be criticized by others.

Fortunately, there is Xu Shu standing next to Pang Tong, no matter what the teacher says, he will not be angry at him, as long as he speaks, he can help Liu Yan change the direction of the wind.

As a result, Xu Shu did not disappoint her, and directly threw out a topic that really needs to be discussed in the long run.

At the end of the regular meeting, Liu Yan left Xu Shu and Pang Tong to have a small meeting in the study.

"The battle report from Jingzhou will be pressed first, give him a little more time. There is one of the most important things to do here in this palace. Liu Yan said solemnly.

"Please Your Highness, just give your orders!" Pang Tong only promised.

"Give you a month's time, select two hundred elite soldiers in their respective armies, with their own specialties and clean history, and send them to the princess's mansion for use, and the palace will re-select the personal guards of the palace. to cope with the ever-changing situation of friend and foe. ”

"Subordinates obey orders!" As soon as the two of them heard this, they immediately solemnly agreed.

"By the way, among these two hundred people, plus Huang Xu. Liu Yan seemed to think of something, and added: "The old man of his family came back from this trip, and he has aged a lot, and he selfishly thinks that although Huang Xu is excellent, there are still better than him in the army, so he still puts him by the side of the palace and calms the old man's heart." ”

"Your Highness really needs someone like Huang Xu by your side to make sure you don't stand under the wall. Xu Shu said sincerely.

His old heart couldn't withstand the fright of his apprentices one after another. He also saw that Huang Xu was sincere in defending his apprentice, and he could sacrifice his life to protect her.

Xu Shu has always thought that there was a willing marriage transaction between the apprentice and Huang Xu, and Huang Xu has feelings for her. With him by his side, Liu Yan's safety is nothing to worry about.

"But after this incident, I finally owed it to him. Liu Yan sighed: "That's it, let's settle it like this for the time being." By the way, Senior Brother Pang, Ma Chao's side, you still have to be concerned, if he can't recover, the people that the teacher just mentioned at the meeting will be inappropriate, hey......"

"Your Highness don't worry, I believe that General Xing will not disappoint you, let alone himself. Pang Tong said.

"Yes, he is avenging himself, Cao Thief will not die, he will not give up. Liu Yan snorted lightly: "Senior brother, do you want to say that there is Ma Chao in Nanyang, even if Ma Chao is too sick to get out of bed, he can make the Cao family dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step?"

"Forehead......" Pang Tong said in his heart, I think so, but I don't dare to say it! Originally, Ma Chao's problem is not serious, and the enemy has no score in his heart, if you go to the pole and send more manpower, or even change generals, it doesn't mean that it is not the same as telling the world that Ma Chao is useless?

Such a simple truth encounters Liu Yan, who has a straight brain circuit, and it becomes a trick.

"That's the case, Your Highness, you have a lot of heart. Xu Shu said a word, Pang Tong was saved again, but Liu Yan was like a basin of cold water being poured on her head.

You don't see it or you don't care, now your colleagues are using you as an airbag, pushing you to the front, and you yourself are always in front of them, consciously or unconsciously, you have created countless steps for them, but what about me? Where have you placed me?

Liu Yan just felt wronged, and she was not angry with him, let alone angry with him.

Therefore, she reached out and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, put it down gently, and when she spoke again, she had already hidden her emotions, her tone was soft, and her attitude was sincere:

"What the teacher said is that Hongu has been taught. However, Wen Ping's combat power is mediocre immediately, and it is better to use Ai'er than to use him. Although Zhao Yun is an orthodox cavalryman, he is still short for the time to lead the army, and he is put together with Wei Yan and Le Jin, his disadvantages are obvious, but he is afraid that he will really go to the battlefield and his role will not be obvious. ”

"Therefore, according to the shallow view of the main palace, Wei Yan and Le Jin go together, there is no problem, but Zhao Yun and Wen are hired...... Teachers and brothers are also requested to make further appointments. Even if it is not for the first line of Nanyang Wancheng, other places, it is better to adjust what should be adjusted. After all, if the battle is lost in the front, any moth in the rear may appear. ”

"Besides, when the news of our army's crushing defeat was released on the other side, they wanted to watch from the sidelines, and no matter how we responded, it would be a good strategy in their eyes. But if you really don't do anything, wouldn't it be a better decision?"

"Also, the matter of the Hanzhong soldiers is not mentioned, as soon as it is mentioned, when I go to the Jiaoben Palace, I think of the tea party on the first day of the first month, these young couples who came from the tea party have been repeatedly verified by the two of you and the minister of state, their family background is innocent, and their ability is outstanding, they are the future of Shu and the future of the Han Dynasty, and they should be given more opportunities at the appropriate time. ”

"There are some things that are inconvenient to say at the regular meeting, but it doesn't hurt here, one of you two is a teacher and the other is a senior brother, you won't laugh at the foolishness of this palace, right?"

The words are spoken to two people, but in reality they are only spoken to one person.

As a result, the two people on the opposite side gave two completely different reactions, Xu Shu originally just habitually wanted to "educate" the apprentice of the rectum, but he didn't expect that behind the original apprentice's "rectum", there was a consistent tough style to support him.

Being slapped in the face and convincing yourself to wait and see its variable feeding machine for revenge is the practice of ordinary people. Liu Yan is not an ordinary person, her consistent style is that when others slap her, she immediately pounces on her and fights with others, no matter if she can beat or not, she will fight first.

If she wants to endure the bitter consequences of the defeat in the Battle of Lujiang, it is impossible, and it is almost the same as fighting again.

In the final analysis, she still hoped that they would agree to send Wei Yan and Zhao Yun to the Lujiang front line to help her turn defeat into victory, where would it be so easy!

It's just that at this time, Xu Shu knew that he couldn't persuade anymore, and Zhao Yun and Wen Ping couldn't go to Hanzhong.

Wenpin's ability to fight horses is poor, it depends on who he compares with, compared with Zhao Yun and Wei Yanle, that is almost it, but how can it be worse than Deng Abi, who is in his early twenties?

Although Deng Ai is the common apprentice of Xu Shu and Pang Tong, they can't talk nonsense with their eyes open.

The key is to propose that these four people went to Hanzhong to prepare for war, and at least two or three hundred thousand soldiers had to be stationed to have the capital to squander. So the question is, Deng Ai has only led 3,000 soldiers at most since his debut, or with the assistance of Gan Ning, how can he be compared with a senior general like Wen Ping?

However, the boss said that Deng Ai could do it, and if it didn't work, it would have to work. In the same way, the boss said that Wenpin is not good, then it can only be not.

Even Zhao Yun, a person like Zhao Yun who led 10,000 cavalry to rush through Cao Cao's camp and still came back intact, was commented by the boss that there was no advantage in leading the troops, what else could they say?

One word, four words: "You have the final say!"

Xu Shu was silent, Pang Tong didn't dare to come out, the boss is the boss, and the crooked reasoning can be said so much, except for the service or the service.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Liu Yan flicked her sleeves and gave an eviction order: "There is still half a year left and right, this matter can be discussed in the long run, let's go back and think about it carefully." ”

As soon as they heard this, Pang Xu and the others hurriedly bowed down and retreated, went out to find a place to sigh, and pondered how to help the boss (apprentice) fill the loopholes.

Sending the two away, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, of course she knew that her tirade was full of loopholes, and she couldn't get on the stage at all.

However, even if her suggestions were all wrong, she still had to mention it, firstly, to give Xu Shu, the "airbag", a leak. Second, it is to lift Deng Ai.

Deng Ai is Liu Yan's brother-in-law, and he is a person who has grown up since he was a child and bothered to cultivate. For the sake of her sister, she hopes that Deng Ai can have a good future.

Moreover, she is not only lifting Deng Ai, but also many young juniors. Zhao Yun, Wen Ping and others have already passed forty and are all old. Now there is no war in Shuzhong, just a garrison, let more young people pass, it is regarded as a training team.

Since she became a marquis in Shu and established a county school, the students from the poor families in Shu have received great benefits, and a large number of young people have poured into the county school. Although most of them have average qualifications, there are still a few outstanding "characters".

It's just that there are only a handful of "characters", and Liu Yan has never been very satisfied. Moreover, these children in the county school are younger than the ones who were married by Liu Yan, and they are not old enough to become a celebrity, not to mention how anxious she is.

Deng Ai is important, but those flowers and bones that have not yet emerged are what she is most concerned about.

She has no heirs, and there are only two ways for the future of Shu, one is to divide the country, after her death, the north and the south were unified, and Shu changed the surname Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao will definitely be dead, Cao Ren will definitely be dead, the second generation of the Cao family has no grudge against her, if they have the ability to ensure that Wei is not unified by her, then it is reasonable for Shu to be surnamed Cao in the future.

The second way of Shu is that she broke through Yecheng before she died, and the Wei State was excepted, and the Cao family was killed and wounded in the process of confronting her. By unifying the north and south by Shu, she can welcome back the emperor or the emperor's children, and justifiably continue the national fortune of the Han Dynasty.

She pondered these two paths for a long time, and the more she pondered them, the more she felt that they were the best future. However, her subordinates must not want the world to be surnamed Cao.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to make Shu stronger than before, so that she can take the initiative to choose the second way.

Liu Yan has no intention of the world, but she shoulders the well-being of tens of millions of people in Shu, and even more so the well-being of those subordinates who follow her, help her, and accompany her. She has an obligation to bring about a new kingdom for all of them, free of strife and united.

Along the way, how many sacrifices there have been, it is impossible to count. How many things backfired but had to be done, and it was unbearable to look back. What are these payments for? Is it just for revenge? Phew, a thousand Liu Bei and ten thousand Cao Ren combined, are not worthy of the price she paid.
