In late spring and early summer, the rain was the heaviest, starting from Chencang, to the city of Zhuyang, 700 miles away, it was rainy for several days, and it was already late March when I arrived.

To the northeast, the Northern Qi army had advanced to the north of Kaifeng, six hundred miles away; Qindi has many passes in the mountains and mountains, and the south of the Yellow River is a horse and a flat river, and the strategic direction of the Qi army is to cross the Yellow River into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it cannot threaten Guanzhong Road for a while.

In order to prevent the imperial court from directly pushing back, the king of Chu has set up heavy troops in Nanyang, Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Yueyang, and Ezhou, and Nanyang, the frontline, is only 500 miles away from Rejecting Yang, which is the main battlefield of frontal contact between the two sides, and is also known as 'Wuguan Road'.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Chu attacked and defended each other for hundreds of years, and this area was a dangerous fortress that must be contested, and it was said that 'whoever gains and who lives, and who loses and who dies'; as long as the army of the imperial court goes out of Wuguan and enters the plain area of Chu, it is almost impossible to defend if it wants to kill Ezhou, where the king of Chu is located; and as long as the alliance of the four kings enters from here, it can be sent to Chang'an in a few days, and the strategic significance can be imagined.

Outside the city, the battalion of the counterinsurgency army was stationed here, and more than 100,000 men and horses gathered here and sent to various defense lines.

At dusk, the general Guan Hongye, dressed in bright gold armor, stood outside the tent, looking at the rear of the city of Rejection, the Xiliang army, which did not see the head and the tail, came from Guanzhong and gradually merged into the camp of the counterinsurgency.

The elite soldiers of the imperial court were all transferred to northern Xinjiang, and the soldiers and horses stationed here were all government soldiers and militia drawn from the government, and there was a gap in all aspects compared with the Xiliang army; With such a strong army entering the battle, Guan Hongye felt a little more confident in his heart, but when he saw the generals of Xiliang galloping over, his eyes showed a little sadness, after all, these soldiers were not from his Guan family, but from the Xu family.

Although the Son of Heaven has already given Guan Hongye a thorough understanding - there are four kings in the east, as long as the Xu family dares to disobey the emperor's orders, then they will be forced to rebel, and they will really force the reverse to let go, and it is a big deal to die with the Xu family, and the four kings of the east will reap the benefits of the fisherman, and the world is still surnamed Song, so he will die a Song Ji.

really provoked Xu Buling to **, Guan Hongye must be the first to be used by Xu Buling to sacrifice the flag, and he can cooperate well to quell the rebellion together, who the hell wants to be used to sacrifice the flag?

Therefore, how to bring over the military power of the Xiliang Army is still a headache.

After waiting for a while, more than ten horsemen rode into the barracks, led by a white-robed man carrying a long lance, and the banner of King Su behind him had already explained his identity, and the soldiers on the road hurriedly avoided it, and no one dared to stop him.

Guan Hongye put away all kinds of thoughts, and stood outside the tent with his head held on to the hilt of his sword, his face majestic.

Guan Hongye is the commander of the counterinsurgency army, Xu Buling is just the leader of the army who came to assist in the defense, and Xu Buling is one level lower than Guan Hongye; In the barracks, the prestige of the boss is unquestionable, and even the orders of the Son of Heaven can 'disobey the orders of the monarchs outside', Guan Hongye naturally will not run to lick his face to meet Xu Buling.

Xu Buling did not put on the shelf of the prince of the vassal king, and before Pegasus came to the military tent, he turned over and dismounted, and first raised his hand and saluted:

"General Guan!"

Guan Hongye is over forty years old, he is quite tall on his side, he has led troops for many years, and he is also one of the famous generals of the imperial court. Facing Xu Buling's salute, Guan Hongye just raised his hand slightly:

"No courtesy, emergency in wartime, Xu Shizi will enter the account with the general."

"No."

Xu Buling took Yang Zunyi and Tu Qianchu into the handsome tent. In the tent of Marshal Nuo, there were already dozens of generals in the army. The veterans who can fight in the imperial court are all dead in the border passes and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and most of the people who can run over to take the government soldiers to quell the rebellion are military attachés who are not up or down in the army, many of them are young children of the generals, and a few are still classmates of Xu Buling in the country.

Xu Buling didn't squint, walked to the front row of the tent and sat down, and Yang Zunyi and the others sat on the left and right. It may be that the reputation of the general of Xiliang Fourth Road is too great, even if he doesn't say a word, he also has a bit of a sense of being a big bully, and the voices of discussion in the military tent have gradually stopped.

Guan Hongye didn't care about this, and stood in front of the map, and talked about the advance route of the counterinsurgency army and the deployment of defenses everywhere.

There was no speculation that Xu Buling had, Guan Hongye directly put the Xiliang Army in the forward position, and went out to attack Nanyang, with the government soldiers and militia as auxiliaries to assist in the siege and clean up the perimeter of the battlefield; Yang Zunyi and Tu Qianchu are both veterans with great achievements, and they are accused of being the main generals of the vanguard army, and they are responsible for the advance of the Chinese army together with Guan Hongye; And when I got to Xu Buling, I gave a sentence:

“…… There is no room for the slightest mistake on the battlefield, Xu Shizi has never led troops, and the consequences of rashly leading the army are unpredictable, and the general did not want Xu Shizi to be in danger; But there is a saying in the saint that after Xu Shizi is the general Xu Lie, he will be the general Huzi, and he can first lead an army of 3,000 and garrison it in Luanchuan County, and with only a little sharpening, he will be able to take charge of himself in the future......"

Tu Qianchu has always had a big temper, and when he heard this, he immediately became angry. They had already discussed it before they came, and knew that the imperial court would definitely reduce the military power of Xu Buling, lest one army and two commanders, Guan Hongye would not be able to use troops as he wanted. But they didn't expect the court to be so ruthless!

Bring 50,000 Xiliang troops to help the imperial court fight, and give Xu Bu 3,000 soldiers to guard Luanchuan County?

Where is Luanchuan County? In the ravines and ravines more than 200 miles away from Nanyang, they have all arrived at the Wuguan Road, which has no strategic significance, and where to take 3,000 people to defend it is not equivalent to saying, 'You bring 3,000 soldiers, where it is cool and where to rest, just fight with me.' ’

The Xiliang army only listened to the orders of the superiors, and the superiors of Tu Qianchu and Yang Zunyi only had Xu Buling, and Xu Buling stayed in the ravines and ravines, and he couldn't do micro-exercises two hundred miles away, and when the time came, he could only listen to the dispatch of Guan Hongye, who was a senior official, which was a blatant attempt to let Xu Buling delegate power.

As soon as Guan Hongye's words came out, Tu Qianchu slapped the table: "What are you kidding, the little prince brought 50,000 people all the way to come, what did you ask the little prince to take 3,000 people to Luanchuan County to fight?" ……”

As long as Guan Hongye takes half a step back today, it will be nothing more important for the rebels to fight in the future, so he naturally said angrily:

"Xu Shizi has never fought a battle, and he has no military exploits, how will he hand over 50,000 soldiers and horses to him? The meaning of the saint is to let Xu Shizi lead the troops to sharpen, from less to more gradually take charge of the troops, the ancient famous generals are like this, even you Tu Qianchu also came from this road, is it possible that you think that the arrangement of the saint has treated Xu Shizi badly? ”

This is to understand that the imperial power oppresses people.

Tu Qianchu wanted to say something, but Xu Buling raised his hand: "It's all a family, why fight around." The Holy Lord's arrangement is also to allow me to sharpen more, and I promise not to let myself receive my life. But ......"

Xu Buling raised his head and looked at Guan Hongye: "Leading troops to fight is not child's play, the Xiliang Army is mainly cavalry, and the Guanzhong Army is mainly cavalry, and is good at 'riding with foot', and the method of using soldiers is completely different." General Guan brought all the Guanzhong Army in the past, are you sure that you can use the 50,000 Xiliang Army well? If something goes wrong......"

Guan Hongye raised his head, his eyes solemn: "I, Guan Hongye, have led troops for a lifetime, how to use soldiers does not need Xu Shizi's guidance, Xu Shizi can guard Luanchuan County." ”

Xu Buling nodded: "Before the fight, the world is unpredictable, and I don't bother to speak." I only hope that General Guan can use his soldiers like a god and a prophet, and don't drag down the Xiliang army; If the fighter plane is delayed, I don't need to open my mouth at that time, I'm afraid that the courtiers of the Taiji Hall will be able to drown General Guan with spit. ”

When Guan Hongye heard this, he was a little dazed. Delays in fighter planes are most likely due to friendly forces breaking through defenses far from being able to do so, or enemy forces making mistakes and failing to seize opportunities. He is in power, and the entire battlefield is under his nose, what fighter plane can be delayed?

"Xu Shizi rest assured, as long as the Xiliang Army obeys the military order, there will be no mistakes."

Xu Buling nodded and chuckled, didn't say anything more, got up and took the talisman and walked out of the tent of the Chinese military camp......
