Jiang Ziyi had never seen Meng Zhulu show such a serious expression, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he just nodded stupidly.

Meng Zhulu let go of his shoulder, "You are still young and don't understand the truth of this, I don't blame you." But in the future, don't mention it, you know?"

Jiang Ziyi said: "I know. "

"Good boy. Meng Zhulu smiled: "Come, let Ben Shuai see if you have made any progress in military affairs." "

After that, Jiang Ziyi was dragged to the marching sand table, which was already full of small flags of various colors, symbolizing the dark color of the Tang Dynasty. It's quite little.

Meng Zhulu looked at the sand table and was suddenly stunned.

Jiang Ziyi is used to it, during this time, whenever the marshal stares at the sand table, such a situation will occur, and it will not last long.

Dashuai is worried about the future of Datang.

Because every time I look at the sand table. The dark flags on it will be reduced.

At first, it was comparable to other colors of flags, but now the outer black flags have almost been pulled out and replaced with flags of other colors.

This shows that all the cities on the border of the Tang Dynasty have been fallen.

The coalition army is like a hungry beast, constantly gnawing at the Tang Dynasty.

But this time. Meng Zhulu was stunned for a little longer.

Jiang Ziyi didn't dare to disturb, and stood quietly aside, waiting for the handsome man to come back to his senses.

After about a cup of tea, Meng Zhulu's eyes came alive again, followed by a series of dense coughing sounds, the movement was huge, and it felt like he was about to cough out his lungs.

Jiang Ziyi was a little panicked, and when he was about to go out to call the doctor, he was dragged by Meng Zhulu: "No." "

"But Dashuai, your body?? "

"I said, no!"

Jiang Ziyi was frightened.

After all, he is just a teenager who has not yet reached the crown.

Meng Zhulu also realized that his attitude was a little too tough, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "I know my body, don't worry about it." Come on, tell us what you think of the current situation. "

The worry on Jiang Ziyi's face did not fade, but he did not dare to disobey Meng Zhulu's order, so he could only forcibly suppress the worry in his heart, and then began to make his own analysis of the current situation.

Meng Zhulu listened patiently, basically not interrupting Jiang Ziyi's analysis, and only reminded in a whisper at certain times.

In this kind of education, Jiang Ziyi constantly enriched his tactical system, constantly absorbed tactical literacy, and constantly became stronger, and finally became Meng Zhulu's successor.

The whole analysis lasted for an hour, and Meng Zhulu's cough also lasted for an hour.

"Dashuai?? I'm done, can I call a doctor?" After Jiang Ziyi finished speaking, he helped Meng Zhulu to sit on the marching bed, and asked with a worried face.

Meng Zhulu shook his head.

Jiang Ziyi puffed out his cheeks. Like an angry child, he asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Marshal, why are we coming back from the West?"

Meng Zhulu raised his head and smiled.

"This question has been bothering you for a long time, hasn't it?" Meng Zhulu asked.

Jiang Ziyi sighed: "Handsome." Am I so obvious?"

Meng Zhulu nodded: "Your eyes can't hide things, this point must also be changed, a real commander must make sure that Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his face does not change, and the big things must be hidden in his heart, and he can't reveal a little bit from his face and eyes, understand? Of course, you are still too young and need to be experienced." It's good to keep that in mind. "

Jiang Ziyi nodded as if he didn't understand.

"As for your question, it can be understood that I am willful. Meng Zhulu replied.

Jiang Ziyi was stupid.

This is a war, can a war still be fought by temperament? Moreover, Da Shuai is the only Dinghai Shen Needle in the current Tang Dynasty army, and no other general can compare with him. Such a heavyweight suddenly became willful after the outbreak of war.

Jiang Ziyi suddenly felt a sense of little hope for the Tang Dynasty.

Meng Zhulu didn't see Jiang Ziyi's face, at this moment he had fallen into his own memories.

When the emperor was still alive, everyone in the court was speculating. He was on the side of that prince, but those people couldn't guess that Meng Zhulu was not loyal to that prince, or even that emperor.

His allegiance is to the Tang Dynasty!

This is the strongest empire in the Great Wilderness that has existed for thousands of years.

Only the fate of Datang can affect Meng Zhulu's heart.

Of course. Because of Li Hong's personal charm and some old accounts, Meng Zhulu was also very loyal to Li Hong, even when Li Hong wanted to attack Zhou Ding. There was no word of dissuasion.

It is precisely because of this that many people mistakenly think that Meng Zhulu supports the queen.

Meng Zhulu didn't have any excuse from beginning to end, because he didn't feel necessary.

Later, he wanted to return to old age for a while, because he was really very old, but Li Hong disagreed, so Meng Zhulu temporarily shelved the idea of returning to old age.

Now, Li Hong is dead, and Datang is also in danger.

Meng Zhulu left the area guarded by the town and returned to Chang'an with two thousand soldiers.

Such a move is abnormal in the eyes of anyone, and it is no wonder that Jiang Ziyi has such a question.

"Handsome, handsome?" Jiang Ziyi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Meng Zhulu's eyes.

Meng Zhulu came back to his senses, "Huh?"

"You're distracted. Jiang Ziyi said honestly.

Meng Zhulu sighed: "It's okay." "

Jiang Ziyi continued the question just now: "Marshal, let's leave the western border, can those defenders be able to block the attacks of Chu and Zhao?"

Meng Zhulu said: "The news of my departure is unknown to the Chu State and the Zhao State, so they don't dare to attack for a while. What's more, the main forces of these two countries have already gone to the north and formed a four-nation alliance with Yan and Wei. As you can see, they have crossed the great cliff and occupied the extremely important cities of Guanning and Haifeng. After that, there was no more trenches, and the road was smooth all the way, and at this time, it was very irrational to divide troops to attack the western border. "

Jiang Ziyi was a little embarrassed, this was obviously the content he had just analyzed, but he ignored it at a critical time.

After all, I'm still too young.

"Dashuai, I'm still worried. Jiang Ziyi adjusted his mood and spoke again.

Meng Zhulu said: "Afraid of the emperor's punishment?"

Jiang Ziyi nodded: "After all, it's an unauthorized departure." "

Meng Zhulu said domineeringly: "Li Tong, that little doll, even if he becomes the emperor, his personality will not change much. He didn't dare to punish the old man. "

Jiang Ziyi's eyes widened fiercely.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that only the handsome dare to call the emperor's name so directly.

"There's no need for you to worry, let's get here tonight first, go back and rest. Meng Zhulu said lightly.

Jiang Ziyi bowed, and when he was about to evacuate, a spy rushed into the big tent without asking for instructions: "Marshal, urgent military situation!"

Meng Zhulu frowned, "Nian." "

"The Divine Temple and the Buddha Sect have joined forces to release a text on the Tang Dynasty!"

Meng Zhulu's brows furrowed even deeper: "Are these two families really still joining forces?"

"After the release of this text, the temple and the Buddha sect can be regarded as seriously participating in the war. Before, they could only be regarded as reinforcements, but now they are in cahoots with the coalition forces. Meng Zhulu stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, and after a while, he turned to Jiang Ziyi and said, "You, go back to the west." "

Jiang Ziyi: "Huh?"

"I guessed wrong. Meng Zhulu calmly admitted his mistake: "I thought that the temple and the Buddhist sect would always maintain a transcendent posture and would not end up directly." At most, they are fighting and assisting on the side, but now that they have released the text, it is equivalent to integrating all the believers except for Datang, and it is even possible that the believers within Datang will be mobilized by them, which is the real sense of the world. "

Jiang Ziyi was anxious: "I'm leaving, what should you do?"

Meng Zhulu said, "What's the matter? Do you still want to protect me?" Don't worry, this handsome horse has been a horse all his life, and the person who dares to touch me has not been born yet. Go, guard the gate of the western border for Datang, and I will continue to Chang'an. At such a time of crisis, Chang'an can't be chaotic. "

Jiang Ziyi read a little other meaning from Meng Zhulu's words: "Dashuai, what do you mean, Chang'an is going to be chaotic?"

Meng Zhulu rubbed Jiang Ziyi's words: "Don't think about it, just do your own thing." Give me orders, pull out the camp, and go!"

This pro-guard team was quickly divided into two groups, one of which was about 500 people, led by Jiang Ziyi, and this was also the first time he had led the troops, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Meng Zhulu made a very simple pre-war speech, and then watched Jiang Ziyi and them leave.

After the last bit of fire in the night was gone, Meng Zhulu returned to his tent and summoned his adjutant to put on his armor.

"This armor was made by the academy itself. Meng Zhulu gently stroked the protective piece on his chest, and the cold touch spread to his whole body through his fingertips. "It's a pity that there will never be such good armor again. "

The adjutant said, "Does the academy really want to abandon the Tang Dynasty?"

Meng Zhulu looked at the adjutant and said, "What will you do if you change?"

The adjutant stopped talking.

"As soon as the master left, the Xuanjia Army was guarding the gate of the academy, and we, the new emperor, were still too anxious. Meng Zhulu said: "Emperor, you have left me a huge mess. The old minister didn't know if he could clean it up, so he could only say that he would do his best. You are still in the spirit of heaven, please hold the Tang Dynasty and survive this catastrophe. "

After speaking, Meng Zhulu turned around and walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, the remaining 1,500 soldiers were also ready to go.

They are all veterans who have followed Meng Zhulu to the east and west for more than ten years, and have experienced dozens of wars, large and small, and the flames of war have already tempered them to tenacity, even if they face enemies several times their own, these veterans will not have any fear.

Fighting for the country and fighting for the commander is their creed.

Meng Zhulu looked at these familiar faces, and suddenly felt a little sad.

"I'm sorry, I might have to take everyone to death. Meng Zhulu said slowly: "I didn't tell Jiang Ziyi a lie before, that child is too young and his mind is not tenacious enough. And you are different, years of war baptism have made your mind as solid as a rock, so I will calmly state this fact. Before dawn, someone who stands in our way may appear. "

"And this person, we can't beat it. "
