The official Shangshu stepped forward tremblingly: "Lord Regent, it is the current Kewu Bang Gu Mozhi." ”

"Newcomer?" Ye Fang frowned slightly: "Or which general?"

The official Shangshu didn't dare to raise his head: "It is the heir of the famous Gu family gun in the martial arts, the Gu family of Jiujiang City." ”

Ye Fang's eyes tightened suddenly, and he snorted coldly: "After the heroes of the rivers and lakes, he was a fledgling, did not understand the art of war, and had never led troops, so he was allowed to guard a border fortress like Wolong Pass! Who recommended him?"

The official Shangshu was frightened by his cold snort, and his knees weakened, and "poof" fell to the ground: "Qiqi Regent, this Gu Mozhi is jealous and hateful, and he offended Zhou Lie's party, so Zhou Lie personally ordered him to be transferred to Wolong Pass. We also felt that it was inappropriate, but there was nothing we could do. ”

Ye Fang no longer continued to delve into it, waved his hand, and then ordered: "Take the map of Wolong Pass." ”

He also personally led troops to fight, so for him, he only needs to know the terrain and troops, and he can guess the situation in his heart.

As the map was presented, his fingers slowly brushed over the walls of Wolongguan, and his brows became tighter and tighter: "At this time, my Chang'an is slightly turbulent, and it is indeed an opportunity for Xiliang to invade." But at this time, the snow has fallen in Xiliang, and there will be another twenty days at most, and the heavy snow will close the road, which may cut off the retreat of the Xiliang people. So, this time they are bound to win. Moreover, it is necessary to capture Wolong Pass within 20 days and drive straight into it before there can be a guarantee of grain and grass supply. ”

He slowly raised his face and said word by word: "They will definitely do their best to break through Wolong Pass as soon as possible! How many soldiers and horses are there in Wolong Pass now?"

The secretary of the military department preemptively said: "More than 15,000 people." ”

The soldier who reported the message immediately retorted: "Including the old, weak, sick and disabled, less than six thousand." ”

"Impossible!" Ye Fang blurted out: "How come such a border fortress is only garrisoned by 6,000 people?"

"According to the imperial court establishment, it is 15,000 people, but Xiliang has been provoking for many years, and there have been countless casualties, and there are less than 6,000 left. Successive commanders-in-chief lied about the military situation, embezzled military salaries, and did not care at all about the lives of the people at our border gates! ”

"Nonsense!"

The military department Shangshu scolded loudly.

Ye Fang swept over with a cold glance, and the military department Shangshu was so frightened that he immediately silenced, like a chilling cicada.

"Are you serious?"

Only then did the soldier tremble and take out a book of notebooks from his arms, which was put on at night.

Ye Fang only opened it and looked at it, then he was furious, and threw the fold directly in front of Dali Siqing: "It's a crime that deserves death!

After saying that, the remaining anger could not be eliminated: "That Gu Mo has been in office for so many days, and he has concealed it for a long time and has not reported it, and only when the war breaks out and the fighter plane is delayed, can he report it truthfully, which is as unforgivable as the crime of collusion!"

The soldier was bold: "Lord Qiyu, on the first day of our new general soldier's appointment, after reviewing the army, he will write a letter according to the facts, and hand it over to the imperial court messenger to bring back to Shangjing and hand it over to the military department. ”

"Have you been on the fold, why hasn't this king seen it?" he directly turned his face to face the trembling military department Shangshu who was kneeling on the ground: "Give this king an explanation." ”

The military department is already sweating like rain.

The first excerpt had already arrived in the capital two days ago, but it was detained by the Xie family. After all, this matter is very involved, and it is not just as simple as the previous general soldier.

At court one hand will wash the other.

He knew it.

He trembled like chaff: "That play, play, the minister was negligent for a while......"

Ye Fang checked his expression, and knew that there must be some secret in it. I didn't have the patience to talk nonsense, and directly ordered the Imperial Forest Army outside the palace: "Remove the official uniform of the military department, put it in the prison of Dali Temple, and wait for interrogation."

The military department Shangshu couldn't help but be shocked, and repeatedly said forgiveness. The Xie family is powerful in this court, and even who Xie Xinlan wants to move, it depends on their faces. But Ye Fang today turned out to be neat and undoubtedly directly dealt with his Xie family, and he was the secretary of the military department who was in an important position.

This position was not easy to win at the beginning.

Therefore, the Xie family immediately became anxious.

One took the lead and stepped out of the ranks: "Before the evidence of the crime has been verified, Lord Regent has punished Lord Shangshu so hastily and arbitrarily, clearly not taking the Queen Mother and the Emperor in his eyes!"

Others echoed the sentiments.

Ye Fang snorted coldly: "How do we need to verify the negligence and delay of the fighter plane at this time? Besides, how can we convict if we don't investigate? Does this king say that he wants to reduce his post and dismiss his officials? Shouldn't he investigate? Now Wolong Pass has less than 6,000 troops against Xiliang's 50,000 fine iron cavalry, and the enemy is outnumbered, if it is lost, how many soldiers will be killed, and how many people will be displaced, you tell this king, who will bear this responsibility? Can he pass the buck with a single word of negligence?"

The successive interrogations made the Xie family speechless, and they could only turn their gaze to Xie Xinlan.

Xie Xinlan and the little emperor sat on the top, looking at the resolute and fierce night release, without the slightest regret, but gave birth to a kind of happiness.

She sits high in this position, but every morning she has to look at the face of the Xie family, she is a puppet. Today's night release made her feel a sense of raising her eyebrows.

The Xie family is too rampant, and it is just arrogant and domineering above the court, like Xie Zizhang, who is first-class and lawless, oppresses the good, and frequently causes trouble, which makes the people of Chang'an spurned. She Xie Xinlan has long wanted to kill chickens and monkeys to set an example.

Therefore, in the face of the Xie family's gesture, Xie Xinlan did not react.

As long as she takes this opportunity to win this battle today, who in the Xie family will dare to pinch her in the future?

Putting it here at night doesn't give the Xie family time to fight back, and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to take the messenger down to recuperate, and then asked the next minister: "It is imminent to send troops to Xiliang, but what do you think of this person in command?"

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime good time to control the Tiger Talisman!

As for the war, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang District, so why be afraid?

The Xie family exchanged glances with each other, and said in unison: "The ministers recommend Xie Xing to be the governor of Xie." ”

The governor of the five armies, the governor of the palace, and the governor of the same office, immediately went out to list Mao and recommended himself: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle, protect the family and defend the country, and do his best." ”

The night release only muttered secretly.

There was silence in the court for a while.

Xie Xinlan's fierce gaze slowly swept over the people above the court, and then glanced at Ye Fang meaningfully: "What does Lord Regent think?"

Ye lowered his eyes and slowly rubbed the jade turtle in his hand: "The person who is in command is by no means a child's play, and the capable live in it." ”

"What the Lord Regent said is very true. Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, my Chang'an is full of talents, talented people abound, this will be handsome, naturally need Wen Tao Wu strategy, the art of war and strategy. You can't make a hasty decision just because the military situation is in full swing.

If not, we will immediately rush to the martial arts field, in front of the soldiers of the three armies, but anyone who is willing to recommend himself, will have the opportunity to participate in the competition, each led 500 men and horses, against the fight, after a stick of incense time, the winner was awarded the handsome seal tiger charm, and immediately led the 50,000 troops to Wolong Pass. How?"
