Chang'an, on the majestic gatehouse of the five phoenix towers, Li Yan held the stone fence of the carved dragon and phoenix, staring at the north for a long time, and on his side, Tian Lingzi and Qin Zhao stood on the left and right.

"At this moment, the big war is about to start, right?" Li Yan turned his head to look at Qin Zhao, the general of Zuo Wuwei.

Qin Zhao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this time the two sides are in a big war, each of them has gathered more than 100,000 troops on the line of hundreds of miles, and the battle line is extended, but it is precisely such a situation, no one on either side dares to act rashly, and if one side moves first, it will inevitably show flaws first, which is inevitable." Now, at best, it is a stalemate, and the generals on both sides are trying to find fighters and hit the enemy's flaws. ”

Li Yan was a little disappointed: "In this way, if you can't find a flaw, won't you keep stalemate like this?" ”

"Your Majesty, whether it is Lu Long's anti-thief or Wuwei Jiezhen, the generals on both sides are extremely experienced. They are waiting for the enemy to reveal their flaws, but at the same time, they will also stimulate their opponents and entice them to show their flaws. The north is bitterly cold, and the time window suitable for such a large-scale operation is actually limited, so this kind of confrontation will not be too long. Qin Zhao explained again.

"Then Qin Aiqing, under what circumstances do you say that the battle will break out?" Li Yan asked.

Qin Zhao thought for a moment before he said cautiously: "The last general does not have the experience of commanding such a large-scale corps battle, but in the opinion of the last general, at this stage, the decisive battle is impossible to break out, but the small-scale engagement will break out one after another, and finally at a certain point, the two sides will form a desperate battle, and then the two sides will mobilize a large number of troops and horses to gather at this point, and finally form a large-scale decisive battle, and once this battlefield is formed, the overall situation of the north will be tied to the result of this battle." ”

"What are the chances of General Li winning?" Li Yan was a little worried.

"The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, any small detail may affect the final battle situation, this, the minister dare not say anything." Qin Zhao thought for a moment, but still gave an answer that didn't make Li Yan happy.

Tian Lingzi on the side glared at Qin Zhao and said, "Your Majesty is relieved, according to the minister, General Li will undoubtedly win." ”

Why does Tian Qing have such confidence? Qin Zhao is a legendary general, and in military affairs, his insights are better than yours, right? Li Yan sighed: "I know that you are pleasing me, but at this time, it is not important to please me." ”

Tian Lingzi arched his hand and said: "The minister is not asking His Majesty to be relieved, but telling the truth." ”

"Huh?" Listening to Tian Lingzi's words, Li Yan became interested: "Tian Qing is so confident? ”

"Your Majesty, do you know the Qianniuwei left by General Li in Chang'an?"

Li Yan nodded: "Of course I know that General Li has recruited a thousand soldiers in Chang'an. ”

"Your Majesty, the commander of these thousand soldiers is Gongsun Changming, the general of Qianniu Weizuo." Tian Lingzi said.

"Gongsun Changming I know very well, this person is good at planning, but when it comes to actually leading troops to fight, he is not good at it, right?" Li Yan asked rhetorically.

"Yes, the one who really trained these thousand soldiers was Li Ze's two previous guards, one was named Chen Bing, and the other was Chu Sheng." Tian Lingzi glanced at Qin Zhao again and said, "Ten days ago, there was a conflict between Qianniuwei and Yuan Cong's guards in Chang'an City, and the two sides fought a lot. ”

Li Yan's face darkened, and he looked at Qin Zhao, whose face was flushed.

"The last general is not strict in governing the army, and he will lose the emperor's grace." Qin Zhao lowered his head and said.

Li Yan shook his head: "This time in the brawl, could it be that Yuan Cong Janissary lost?" ”

"Lost terribly!" Tian Lingzi didn't seem to see Qin Zhao's somewhat begging and even annoyed gaze: "If that's all it is, the generals of both sides also mixed in later." ”

Li Yan was greatly annoyed: "Could it be that there was a large-scale fight? I don't even know about such a thing? ”

"Your Majesty is angry." Tian Lingzi shook his head and said: "The generals on both sides are all calf protectors, but their brains are still sober, and they know that the nature of small-scale fights and large-scale arms fights is completely different, so the generals of both sides agreed that each side will send 500 people to compete in the name of martial arts on the school field. ”

Li Yan took a breath, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Finally, they still know some severity, and this kind of martial arts is reasonable." What was the outcome of this battle? ”

Tian Lingzi sighed: "Your Majesty, do you need to say this? If it weren't for Qianniuwei's complete victory, how could the minister conclusively think that General Li would win? The two sides staged martial arts in the school field, 500 people against 500 people, and in the end, the Yuan Cong Guards were wiped out, and they didn't fight all over the ground to find teeth, and a large number of people who heard the news lost completely, so that Gongsun Changming won a lot of money. ”

"You're still betting?" Li Yan suddenly became angry again.

"The Yuan Cong Forbidden Army is Your Majesty's personal army, that Gongsun Changming shouted and bet, and the ministers and other people can bear this breath, thinking that Qianniuwei has only been established for more than half a year, and it will be the opponent of the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, so they have placed heavy bets, the original intention is to open their eyes for the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, and also want the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army to earn this breath for Your Majesty, so that the world can see that there is not an army around Your Majesty that can fight, unexpectedly, the final result is actually like this!" Tian Lingzi glared at Qin Zhao hatefully, thinking that he had lost a lot in this gambling match.

Qin Zhao already knelt down: "Your Majesty, the last general is ashamed." ”

Li Yan showed an abnormal smile on his face, and waved his hand to signal Qin Zhao to get up: "General Qin, Yuan Cong's Janissaries have lost so badly, I am naturally unhappy, I hope you will be ashamed and brave, and train the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army and Chang'an's Shence Army into a real iron-blooded army, and start with this matter, what do you think?" ”

Qin Zhao kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, the Shence Army, there are many disadvantages inside, the sons of the nobles, the children of civil and military officials are full of them, although there is no shortage of outstanding people, but most of them are indiscriminate generations, the last general asks Your Majesty for permission, so that the last general can pick out a group of people from the Chang'an Shence army to set up a new army, the number is not large, only five thousand people, but also give the last general half a year, the last general can definitely win a thousand Niu Wei." ”

Today, Tian Lingzi roasted Qin Zhao on the fire, Qin Zhao's temper was rushing, and he simply ignored it, and directly picked out some unknown dark sides in the Shence Army, if you don't let me have a good time, then don't think about it.

Sure enough, after Li Yan heard Qin Zhao's story, his face turned into the color of pig liver, he thought that he could become a god army to rely on, but did he actually become like this?

"No wonder, no wonder the town of the world doesn't take me so seriously! No wonder, no wonder that two of General Li's escorts trained an army for half a year, which was enough to defeat my own army, you, you disappointed me too much. Li Yan was furious: "Investigate thoroughly, investigate thoroughly." ”

"Your Majesty is angry!" Tian Lingzi said in a low voice: "It is not difficult to investigate thoroughly, but once it is thoroughly investigated, many things will be contained, and the whole body will be launched, and Chang'an will be unstable. If you want to investigate thoroughly, you can only wait until General Li wins before discussing it, and then with General Li's victory as a basis, you can use the strategy to be perfect! ”

Li Yan's chest rose and fell, panting heavily, and it took a long time before he pounded the railing hatefully, looked at Qin Zhao and said: "Your opinion is correct, set up a new army, with a strength of 5,000 people, and you will personally select the manpower, Qin Zhao, after half a year, if you still can't beat Qianniuwei, then you, General Zuo Wuwei, don't do it." ”

"The last general is willing to make a military order!" Qin Zhao said loudly.

"Half a year later, I'll see it!" Li Yan said: "Get up!" ”

Qin Zhao stood up, allowing him to reorganize a new army that belonged to him completely, and this time he was reprimanded, but he was not wronged.

"These two guards of General Li have this kind of ability, so his subordinates such as Cao Xin, Tu Lichun, Shi Zhuang, Liu Chenglin and others are even more powerful, and with such a good general, I am also a lot more relieved." Li Yan muttered: "It's a pity that Gao Qing left early, if he is still here now, and he is in line with General Li's sword, Zhang Zhongwu's anti-thief, how can he be their opponent?" ”

"Your Majesty, although Gao Shuai is gone, but his general Li Cunzhong is still guarding Yanmen Pass, Han Qi holds Datong, in Gao Shuai's widow, these two people can be trusted, why doesn't Your Majesty give an order to the two of him and let the two of them send troops to help General Li?" Tian Lingzi suggested.

"Will these two be ordered?" Li Yan really has no confidence in his prestige now, "Han Qi is okay, then Li Cunzhong is a Hu man, when Gao Qing is here, he can be restrained, Gao Qing is gone, this person is still obedient?" ”

"Your Majesty, since Gao Shuai said that these two people are credible, they can't be wrong if they think about it, what's more, whether it works or not, you have to give it a try, what if it happens?" Tian Lingzi also doesn't have much confidence, he is completely in the guise of a blind cat to catch a dead mouse, it's always good to give it a try, and it's just an edict left and right.

"In this case, Tian Qing will draft a decree, and after the three provinces are collegial, they will issue it!" Li Yan nodded.

"Yes!" Tian Lingzi arched his hand.

At this time, in the west of Chang'an City, in the mansion of General Qianniuwei, the principal Gongsun Changming smiled with an old face, in fact, these days, he has always been in a good mood, because of a battle between Qianniuwei and the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, he won 100,000 yuan.

The dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an were really rich, and when he put all the bets on the future, even Chen Bing and Chu Sheng's faces turned pale with fright, if they lost, they were afraid that they would have to sell the territory of Qianniu Weifu to pay it off.

"The bounty has been sent?" Gongsun Changming looked at the two generals and said with a smile.

"It's all sent down, the five hundred people involved, each of them is ten, and the injured are twenty times each." Chen Bing's face is also a little twitching with a smile these days.

"Tell the others that as long as they train hard, everyone will have a chance to get a big reward, and next time we will find a chance to fight them."

"I'm afraid that with this time, it will not be easy to have a next time." Chu Sheng shook his head and said.

"What do you know?" Gongsun Changming laughed and said: "Qin Zhao was stimulated, please ask the emperor to set up a new army, I definitely want to find this field, next time we will win again, and get some money." Those sons and daughters below, you don't need money to stimulate, they are willing to work hard? They're not our Wuwei Army! The money sent by Tu Hu is only enough for daily expenses, and we have to figure out the rest ourselves. ”

"Then win again!" Chen Bingle said hehehe: "Since you can win them the first time, you can win them the second time." ”

"Then you have to train more!" Chu Sheng continued.

"Of course, now that we have this extra income, this money can't be held in our arms, we have to scatter it, and we can let these tinkling copper coins play their due role." Gongsun Changming said.
