Back at the Temple of Literature, calmly and quietly, the soldiers were busy, and he felt that there was no military situation, Qi Liang couldn't help but wonder why Wu Sangui summoned himself back so urgently? Washed cleanly, just finished putting it on, there are eunuchs in the chamberlain, please go to worship the holy shrine.

The Chongsheng Shrine was already full of civil and military generals, Qi Liang glanced at it, and his eyes stayed on Wu Yinglin, who was dressed in snow-white, for two seconds, I don't know if Wu Yinglin had a weak heart or a mind and kept his head down.

Entering this kind of court meeting again, Qi Liang no longer had the same nervousness as before, walked to the center and looked at Wu Sangui who was sitting upright with his god's eyes, and knelt on the ground unhurriedly: "Erchen knocks to see his father!" ”

Wu Sangui stroked his beard and smiled, and asked lovingly: "Is Xiong'er still tired?" ”

Qi Liang raised his head and said, "Xiong'er is fine, in good spirits!" ”

Wu Sangui nodded: "Let's be flat!" Stand alone! ”

Qi Liang got up and walked to Wu Sangui's right side to face the generals, and inadvertently stopped his gaze on Wu Yinglin, this time the two looked at each other, and Wu Yinglin glanced elsewhere in just an instant.

Wu Sangui sat dignified, not an emperor is better than an emperor, eagle-like eyes level, and said in good spirits: "This time, the soldiers of the forward battalion used their lives and fought bravely, attacking the city and plundering the pond to capture Puqi, Xianning, Chongyang and other cities, and achieving a major victory is gratifying!" Of course, these cannot be compared with the results of the early capture of Changsha and other large cities, or even the occupation of a province, but because it was the first victory won by his son's army, he felt extremely relieved even though it was only a few small cities.

Everyone bowed down and said: "The son of the world is wise and martial, the blessing of His Highness!" Blessings of the Great Zhou! ”

Wu Sangui laughed, and the strategist Tan Yanliang salivated and looked at Wu Sangui and Qi Liang in the upper position, his eyes were rolling, and he flattered: "Wen Shizi led 2,000 cavalry to capture the two cities of Tongshan and Chongyang within four days, and such a brave man is as brave as a hussar general to reincarnate!" ”

Comparing the prince to the general Huo Quai, who attacked the Huns for thousands of miles, everyone felt exaggerated and funny, but they also had to admit that the son was indeed wise and brave.

Then another person came out to compliment: "The most amazing thing is to hear that the prince of the world summoned the thunder god to attack the enemy, which has never been heard of since ancient times, and has never been heard of!" I heard the soldiers say that at that time, the son of the world was like a god descending to earth, and he retreated from the Mongolian cavalry with laughter! This person is Wang Shirong, who is as beautiful as a woman, with a flush on his white face.

It was all some flattery, Qi Liang automatically thought about it, and in later generations, he remembered an English aphorism: Sweet words make fools get carried away!

That Wang Shirong's face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like stars, his eyebrows are like green feathers, his muscles are like snow, his waist is like a bundle, and his teeth are like shellfish, Qi Liang shivered at a glance and moved away, this son is too charming! That Tan Yanliang glanced at it twice, this person's triangular eyes looked very sinister, not like a good person. However, people can't be good-looking, for example, Qian Yunfang's triangular eyes are loyal to him!

Wu Sangui opened his heart and laughed: "If the gods descend to earth, good!" I will be named General Tianshuo, and I will allow the government to build an army! ”

Qi Liang was overjoyed, his nails dug deep into the flesh, suppressed his beating heart, knelt on the ground and said with a little excitement: "Thank you, Father Wang Longen!" "Finally a position, and a general!

Qi Liang understood that Wu Sangui had really cultivated him as a successor, and to allow the opening of the mansion was to allow him to establish his own team, and to allow the army to be built was to allow him to have his own power.

Many people didn't think it was strange, but Wu Yinglin stared at Qi Liang who was kneeling on the ground jealously, but he also reluctantly accepted his fate, who called himself not someone's own son!

Wu Sangui also gave Qi Liang a thousand taels of gold, a hundred zhang of cloth, countless jewels, and also rewarded Hu Guozhu, Tang Daomu and others, Tang Daomu was also promoted to the leader, even Wu Yinglin also received a rich reward, Wu Sangui took the credit for taking Linxiang to his head.

Qi Liang wondered why there was no Lu Huixiang? He remembered that Lu Huixiang was recorded in the credit book! He bowed again and said, "Father! Lu Hui Xiang Qianhu made miraculous achievements when he captured Tongshan City, and he should be rewarded! ”

"Lu Huixiang?" Wu Sangui's thick eyebrows condensed, and he hesitated for a moment, "Okay!" Reward it with 100 taels of silver! Lu Huixiang looks ugly, he doesn't like it very much, and he once frightened his beloved concubine - Chen Yuanyuan! Many generals knew this.

Qi Liang felt that this was still unfair to Lu Huixiang, and said, "Father! Lu Huixiang is both wise and brave, the battle of the nameless hill calmly retreats from the enemy, Xianning City is decisive and capable of calming the people, and Tongshan City is the first soldier to kill the Qing army general, is a rare general, can be promoted as appropriate! ”

Wu Sangui was unhappy: "I have rewarded him with silver, it's okay!" ”

Qi Liang suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Erchen is willing to resign all rewards and ask for credit for Lu Huixiang!" ”

Wu Sangui pouted his nose and said, "Bear get up, Lone will reward him again!" Then he said loudly: "Reward Lu Huixiang with a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Wu Sangui once had a battle, his nose was seriously injured, fortunately he was young at the time, and he recovered quickly with his vigorous vitality, but he left a slight scar, although it was inconspicuous but broken, maybe he felt that this was a defect, whenever he talked to someone and did not fit in, he used his hand to "touch his nose", which slowly became a habit, and people close to him knew this. When everyone saw him, they knew that he was unhappy, and they were secretly worried about Qi Liang, but Qi Liang didn't see it, and he didn't know the cause and effect when he saw it.

Qi Liang knelt down and insisted: "Lu Huixiang's merits are better than Tang Daomu's, why can Tang Daomu be promoted to the leader but Lu Huixiang can't?" How unfair is this to Lu Huixiang? ”

Wu Sangui's face became more and more ugly, everyone was secretly anxious, and someone secretly glanced at Qi Liang, but unfortunately Qi Liang lowered his head, and Hu Guozhu couldn't help but whisper: "Shizi!" Shizi! ”

Qi Liang didn't move, as if he hadn't heard. Wu Sangui's face was like a leaf with autumn frost, his nose stroked and stroked, and he said for a long time: "Discretion, Lu Huixiang Qianhu has been promoted to the leader!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Qi Liang raised his eyebrows with his eyebrows, met Wu Sangui's cold gaze, and saw Wu Sangui's face as ugly as a smashed purple eggplant, he was at a loss, and he was suddenly uneasy, like sitting on pins and needles, did he do something wrong? Glancing at the others, they all shook their heads, and secretly wondered, "Is there really something wrong?" ”

Whatever! Lao Tzu and he are father and son, even if they do something wrong, they won't kill their heads, right? Qi Liang thought of the worst, his heart settled down, and he looked at Wu Sangui calmly. However, in his heart, he secretly decided that after staying for a while, he must ask those people what was wrong, as if General Hu Guozhu knew. At the same time, I also warn myself that I should talk less and listen more! He stood up and retreated to his position without being arrogant or humble.

The court was silent for a while, Wu Sangui's face was a little pale, and he said: "Today, all the generals and ministers are called to discuss the direction of our army's next move!" ”

Everyone stood in order and listened quietly. "Prime Minister, come out and introduce the overall situation to everyone!" Wu Sangui looked at a man with good facial features, a burly figure, and a dignified and solemn person.

Xia Guoxiang, like Hu Guozhu, is Wu Sangui's son-in-law, and is Wu Sangui's brave general and strategist, and the person he relies on. Xia Guozhu stood up and said: "Since the incident, His Royal Highness King Zhou has been wise, brave and brave, attacking the city and seizing land for thousands of miles, and now it has won Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan. However, our army also suffered heavy losses in the early stage of operations, and some of the vacancies have not yet been filled, and the captured localities need to send troops to guard and disperse the troops. ”

As soon as his voice fell, a general flashed out, and said worriedly: "If we continue to advance northward, our army's defense line will grow more and more into a long dragon formation, with the threat of Guangdong Shangzhixin on its back, Guangxi Sun Yanling's Qing army in the west, and Jiangxi Qing army in the east, and our army's defense line may be in danger of being cut in half!" "This person is Wu Sangui's first fierce general, Ma Bao.

Wu Sangui frowned and said: "The attack is still going to attack, it depends on which direction to attack!" Let's talk about what we have seen! ”

General Liu Fengxiong said: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, the stability of the rear is the key, only the rear is stable before the party can attack and retreat and defend without losing the ground, the slave suggests that the first attack on Guangxi, take the entire territory of Guangxi and connect my entire rear base together, and then try to go north!" ”

General Lin Yuhe disagreed: "Although the Qing army of Sun Yanling in Guangxi is a great threat, he is already in a panic in the encirclement of my Yunnan and Hunan, and at present, he only wants to protect himself, how dare he attack our army?" Therefore, our army can ignore Guangxi for the time being, but should concentrate its forces to attack and take Jiangxi to the east, and after Jiangxi succeeds, it will be gratifying to overwhelm the king of Pingnan in Guangdong, who is still on the sidelines, and can force him to oppose the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible! After that, he contacted Geng Zhongming, the king of Jingnan in Fujian, to oppose the Qing Dynasty, so that the entire Jiangnan was connected, and most of China was anti-Qing, and the Qing court was not long in coming! ”

The strategist Wang Shirong stood up disapprehensively and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, although the King of Jingnan and the King of Pingnan were both the kings of the Demon Court and my king before, they can have gaps between each other, the guard is too deep, and they cannot be of the same mind, which is evident from the fact that the two kings have not started an incident so far. The slave suggested that the head of our army should attack westward, occupy Xiangxi, open up the connection with the Wangping Domain of our army attacking in Sichuan, and combine the strength of the two armies to take the entire territory of Sichuan in a few days, and then attack Shaanxi to the north. After that, several armies attacked eastward, and the Qing court could not finish? ”

"Everyone has any good plans to say it, the court is deliberating, there is nothing to say, nothing to say, no matter what you say, you don't blame Lonely!" Wu Sangui accepts good words and is very wise.

Then several generals expressed different opinions, some said that the army should be expanded first and then marched; Some say that they will not enter the army for the time being, and they will develop the economy first; Some say that they will send emissaries to contact the various forces and then march north together.

Each has its own opinions, each has its own reason, and finally divided into factions and quarreled, Wu Sangui has long been accustomed to this, his sharp eyes glanced through, and when he saw Qi Liang who had not spoken on the side, he said: "Xiong'er has any ideas, let's talk about it!" ”

The court quieted down, and they all looked at Qi Liang, this month's battle had spread Qi Liang to a god, and they also wanted to hear the new Tianshuo general's high opinion to see what he was capable of?

"Me?" Qi Liang listened to everyone's discussion and had been thinking about this issue, but he didn't expect Wu Sangui to suddenly call his name.

"Bear talk about it!" Wu Sangui's encouragement, also has the meaning of consideration, the anger towards Qi Liang just now has long disappeared, after all, it is his own son!
