Li Cunxiao and Wang Chengxi finally had an argument, although Wang Chengxi did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words was obvious, that is, he did not want to lend troops to Li Xun, and Li Cunxiao has been persuading him that he should send troops, focusing on the overall situation, the people are innocent, and should not become victims of the struggle.

Several clear-headed officers also stood up and supported Li Cunxiao.

Li Xun is the governor of Wuzhou, as the highest military commander of Wuzhou, everyone's evaluation and merits are to be completed through Li Xun, and the relationship with him is too stiff, their merit evaluation with Li Xun, reported to the imperial court, I am afraid it can only be the worst kind, in this way, during the period when Li Xun was the governor of Wuzhou, the people who opposed him wanted to be promoted, it was a dream, and... Joining the army to fight and fighting on the battlefield is not just for a future? If this premise doesn't exist, why should I follow you?

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, Wu Heng and Wang Chengxi really fought Li Xun, and Wang Chengxi was the last to take the throne, and the first people he reused would be outsiders like Li Cunxiao? Definitely not, Wang Chengxi's first person to promote and reuse will only be his original 4,000 old troops, as for Li Cunxiao, these outsiders, obviously have to stand aside, so the reason is very simple, Li Xun and Wang Chengxi, no matter who wins, Li Cunxiao, these non-descendant generals, will not do any good, why should he be desperate to be a gun for Wang Chengxi?

The two sides argued.

Wang Chengxi looked at Li Cunxiao coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Li Cunxiao, you have always spoken for Li Xun, have you already taken refuge in him?" ”

"Li Xun is the governor of Wuzhou, and we are all his subordinates, how can we take refuge?"

Li Cunxiao was not afraid of Wang Chengxi at all, and directly pushed back, and he looked down on Wang Chengxi in his heart.

Li Cunxiao glanced at the generals in the tent, and said lightly: "Everyone, Li Xun has a temperance, and he can't move an officer above the fifth grade, but an officer below the fifth grade..."

As soon as Li Cunxiao's words came out, everyone was stunned, and then their faces changed.

There is a festival governor and no festival governor, it is completely two concepts, the worst level of the fake festival, during the war, you can cut the first and then play, no need to report to the court, directly kill the officers below the fifth grade, Wang Chengxi is from the fourth grade of the second general, Li Cunxiao is the fifth grade of the Lang general, naturally not in this list, but the lower level of the Lang general is within this range, Li Cunxiao's reminder, so that everyone suddenly understands, there is another possibility.

Li Xun asked Wang Chengxi to send troops, if the latter refused, then okay, you don't send troops, right, a Lang general headquarters of five hundred soldiers, I will order eight Lang generals in your battalion to go with me, if you listen or not, if you don't listen, I will kill, you Wang Chengxi can't stop me at all.

"General, what Li Cunxiao said also has some truth, after all, Li Xun is nominally our chief general, and it doesn't make sense to disobey military orders!"

"General, let's go with Li Xun, he is the governor of Wuzhou, and he has a festival, why should we resist the military order?"

Several officers stood up and spoke persuasion, and two of them were Wang Chengxi's old subordinates.

Wang Chengxi's face was ugly, he was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "You guys disperse first, let me think about it." ”

After that, Wang Chengxi glanced at his henchman Vice Admiral Yanhui.

The crowd dispersed, and only Yu Yanhui and Wang Chengxi were left in the tent.

"Yanhui, what do you think?"

Yu Yanhui stood up and said, "General, it is difficult to resist the will of the people, what Li Cunxiao said just now is not unreasonable. ”

Wang Chengxi stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, he thought things simply, Li Xun had a scepter in his hand, and he was not afraid, but those middle and low-level officers under his command had to be afraid.

After half a ring, Wang Chengxi stopped, looked at Yu Yanhui, and said: "Draw half of the four thousand people from the headquarters, and then draw Wang Shi and Yan from the soldiers and horses of the two, just four thousand people, led by you, and follow Li Xun to Suzhou." ”

Yu Yanhui arched his hand and said: "The last general will take the order." ”

Wang Chengxi finally instructed: "You must hold the military power in your own hands, if Li Xun has a plan, you should act at the opportunity." ”

Yu Yanhui nodded, and said in a deep voice: "General rest assured, the military power is in my hands, and Li Xun doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”

.............

After Li Xun received Wang Renzi's request for help, he ordered that Wuzhou enter a state of combat readiness, stay in You Chong to defend the city, Li Xun led more than 5,500 soldiers to Shenchi County, and Wang Chengxi's 4,000 soldiers converged, and then immediately rushed to Suzhou.

Yuanhe originally had 4,000 people, but the patrol battalion was established, and 800 people were separated from him and handed over to Zheng Chun and Zhao Wei to command, for You Chong, Li Xun was not very trusted, so the patrol battalion led by Zheng Chun and Zhao Wei was not taken away, but stayed in Wu'an City, Yuanhe's 3,200 people, Li Xun's 300 personal guards, plus 2,000 soldiers transferred from Gan Tuyuan, including the 500 military discipline division of Shan Qiu, together with more than 5,500 people.

At dusk, Li Xun led the troops to Shenchi County, Wang Chengxi's camp.

Wang Chengxi personally came out to greet him, and his 4,000 troops were also ready to set off at any time.

Wang Chengxi is so refreshing, but it is a little unexpected by Li Xun, Li Cunxiao's guess is not wrong at all, Li Xun did bring the scepter, if Wang Chengxi refuses to send troops, Li Xun is ready to kill him directly, on the grounds of not obeying the general's order, kill him a few middle and low-level officers first, and deter him, now, Wang Chengxi cooperates like this, Li Xun has no excuse to make a move.

There is nothing to say, the army converged, and under the leadership of Li Xun, they rushed towards Suzhou.

Three days later, in the evening, the county government of Fuyang County.

The county magistrate of Fuyang County is called Zhao Di, more than forty years old, short stature, some hooked waist and hunchback, poor appearance, and he was also born as a jinshi in his early years, but in the final interview between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, he brushed it down, and had to start from the lowest officials.

This person has a stubborn personality, the reason does not make sense, but the official is very honest, in Lingnan for more than ten years as a county officer, very much loved by the local people, after the battle of Longyou, there are a large number of official vacancies in Longyou Road, Zhao Di was promoted to a level, transferred to Fuyang County as a county commander.

"Lord County Commander, reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived."

Liu Fu, the county magistrate of Fuyang County, ran into the county hall with his hands dancing, his face full of ecstasy, and behind him, followed by a man dressed as a civilian.

Zhao Di was resting on the chair, when he heard the movement, he slowly opened his eyes, sat up straight, looked at Liu Fu, frowned, and his face was a little bad: "Liu Xiancheng, what kind of system is it to be so flustered?" ”

Liu Fu is very young, about to touch the early twenties, white and fat, frivolous, everything is a look of joy and anger, such a person, such an age is to become a county prince, or he is really talented and learned, and he has a career through the imperial examination, or he has a great backer behind him.

Liu Fu knew that Zhao Di didn't like him, and he didn't care about his displeasure at all, and said loudly: "My lord, Li Xun, the governor of Wuzhou, personally led an army of 10,000 people, and he has entered the territory of Suzhou, and before dark tomorrow at the latest, he will be able to reach Fuyang County, and we will be saved." ”
