Chapter 14: Polemics

When Wang Haibin returned to the Feng'an army, the 8,000 soldiers in the city were very angry and unanimously demanded to send troops to resist the Tubo army. Wang Haibin's palace was first surrounded by water, and then after Wang Haibin's persuasion, the soldiers gradually left.

Wang Haibin knew that this soldier had not been trained for a long time, and he was indignant at the invasion of Longyou Dao by Tibet, so many soldiers hoped that they could strive for military merit in this opportunity. However, now that the more than 100,000 people of the Tubo army are not able to stop the border, the armies of various military towns should be gathered together to conquer together.

Wang Haibin also heard that the periphery of Shanzhou had been looted by the Tubo people, and a lot of cattle and horses were robbed, and after talking with Wang Hui and others yesterday, it was decided to form a line of defense between the Anbei Protectorate and the Feng'an army to jointly resist the enemy, and as soon as the imperial army arrived, it would launch an offensive.

And look at the court up and down, unanimously fighting, the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is the most entangled, although there are also Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng married and reconciled, but now Princess Jincheng is still there, and the dispute cannot be stopped. At this time, Tang Xuanzong had summoned Xue Ne to the court, and handed over the command of this battle to this person, Xue Ne knew that the last time he conquered the Khitan defeat, this is the time when he regained the glory of Jiangmen.

Many horse farms on the periphery of Shanzhou were being invaded at this time, and the Tubo cavalry quickly inserted into the border of Longyou Road in the Tang Dynasty, but Yang Ju, the governor of Shanzhou, was unmoved, watching the Tubo army act recklessly. Just a few days ago, Yang Ju, the governor of Shanzhou, repented of committing suicide, and Shanzhou was in turmoil at this time.

At this time, a general of the Feng'an army knocked on the door of the military envoy's mansion, pushed away the soldiers on duty, walked straight to Wang Haibin's case, and said: "Some of the defeated soldiers in Shanzhou have come to us. ”

"That's not a rout, that's a runaway." Wang Haibin took a few shots, his eyes widened angrily, and he said: "Punish the fugitives according to the law, and we must not let this kind of sluggishness spread." ”

"But these soldiers are not under our control, so it's a bit overstepping our responsibilities to do so."

Wang Haibin still said angrily: "Even if it is not my soldier in my jurisdiction, he cannot get away with it." You go ahead and I'll take full responsibility. ”

After speaking, Wang Haibin is walking out of the house, walking along the street to the city gate, it is noon, the people on the street are bustling, Wang Haibin is wearing official uniforms, some passers-by see it, they come forward and call out, "Wang Jun makes a good afternoon." ”

After Wang Haibin nodded slightly, he seemed to walk by as usual, and there was no shelf, Wang Haibin knew that the relationship between the army and the people was very good, so he also treated the people of Feng'an Army with courtesy. Feng'an Army is a military town, but it is prosperous in culture and education, and the people are Jining, all of which are the credit of Wang Haibin, the military envoy.

When Wang Haibin walked to a deserted street, two horsemen were coming towards him in the distance, and he could see it clearly, that is, it was from the city that was surrendered, and it may be Wang Hui's subordinates who came to report the news first.

After getting closer to Wang Haibin, even the two soldiers dismounted and knelt and said, "Wang Duhu asked us to come and report, and we are almost at the city gate." Please don't go out of the city to greet the envoy. ”

Wang Haibin looked towards the city gate, and could only see a vague figure, and then helped the two soldiers up, and said, "How many people did Wang Dadu bring this time?" ”

"Wang Dadu only brought a dozen horsemen, and the rest of the tens of thousands of troops in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will not pass through the Feng'an Army, but will go elsewhere and go straight to Longyou Road."

Wang Haibin thought in his heart at this time, why did General Xue Ne, who commanded the various departments, send troops so quickly, he had just returned from the surrender of the city, and Wang Hui had already sent troops overnight.

"Okay, you can step down."

Wang Haibin sat alone under a pergola, let the shopkeeper serve a few pots of wine, and then poured himself a drink, and looked up at the city gate. As far as his eyes could see, a carriage slowly drove over, and the person who drove the carriage waved his whip gently, and the specifications of the carriage could not be seen that this was a giant commanding most of the Tang army in northern Xinjiang, but Wang Haibin could see that it was Wang Hui's style.

This Wang Hui's style is simple and unpretentious, like an evergreen tree, not long after he was appointed as the capital of Anbei, he appeased the people's livelihood while training the army, and aroused the love of the people.

The carriage continued to move forward, Wang Haibin's eyes never left, and suddenly Wang Hui poked his head out of the carriage window, and saw Wang Haibin who was slightly drunk behind the wine.

At this time, the carriage stopped, Wang Hui walked out, and after walking a few steps, Wang Haibin shouted into the pergola: "Old friends are visiting, and I will bring another pot of wine." ”

Wang Hui walked to the shed at this time, sat down straight, and said: "The virtuous brother can wait here, Wang is deeply honored. Now that I am busy with official business, this bottle of wine is exempt. Wait until the next day to get drunk with the virtuous brother. ”

"Why do you have to think like this, there is a poet who said, the three sides are in turmoil, and there are 100,000 and rampant. The wind sweeps the mountain formation, and the noisy willow camp. The sword flower does not fall, and the bow moon is bright. It will take the land of Huainan and hold it as Shuofang City. This poem is enough to write about the scenes of the ancient and modern battlefields, and it is also what I want to say most at this time. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Xian is really temperamental, this poem is good, but then again, it has a bit of artistic conception." After Wang Hui finished speaking, he poured a glass of wine for Wang Haibin, and said: "This is the last cup, after drinking this cup, you can talk about business." ”

"Yes, yes, I still have to listen to what Brother Tai says." Wang Haibin pushed the wine cup aside at this time, and said: "Brother Tai rushed tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the battlefield, have you already learned where General Xue Ne is?" ”

Wang Hui said at this time: "Didn't you receive the edict?" A few days ago, Xue Ne was ordered to be the general of Zuo Yulin, and now that he has arrived, he has arrived in Shanzhou, and at the same time, he has also ordered me to fight back against Tubo with Guo Zhiyun's subordinates. ”

"When will Brother Tai leave for the army?"

After thinking for a while, Wang Hui said: "General Xue Ne has already arrived in the army, you and I will go together, otherwise it will not be good to miss the deadline, and now the Holy Lord has appointed the general, and we should also swear to serve the army to the death, and work together with Xue Ne and General Guo Zhiyun to fight this battle." ”

Wang Haibin knew that this battle was to gather the generals of several regions, Guo Zhiyun was originally in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and now it was used in the Longyou battlefield, and the saint pointed out that after this victory, Guo Zhiyun would be named the envoy of the Longyou Festival.

In fact, this news has long been said by many people, because Guo Qianjun, who is of the same clan as Guo Zhiyun, has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the protection of the capital of Beiting, and Guo Zhiyun has contributed a lot in the middle, so the saint feels that Guo Zhiyun can take charge alone, so the promotion is also near.

And Xue Ne is the commander in chief of the army, has the power to give orders, and leads the battle situation this time.

Wang Haibin thought about it, and said: "Then according to your words, I will set off tomorrow morning and go directly to the barracks to see General Xue Ne." ”

After the two said goodbye, they walked on the street, Wang Haibin talked about the rear of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Wang Hui felt that Lu Zheng and Liu Junenvoy could be worry-free, and when he left, he gave Lu Zheng and Liu Junenvoy a lot of instructions, and carefully arranged some matters.
