Not to mention that Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen are both real young generation leaders, just the collection of books in Wu Mingche's study and the explanations that Wu Mingche can provide at any time are enough to benefit Xiao Shilian a lot, compared to reading the layout and text of ancient books, it is a little difficult, and even has to rely on Li Xinchen, who is explained by Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian, Xiao Shilian can obviously learn more from the Wu family's collection.

Xiao Maha strode in, and when he saw Xiao Shilian and the three young men with solemn looks on their faces, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. And Wu Mingche handed him an edict on the table that Xiao Maha was also familiar with, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's edict has just arrived, and the old man does not dare to hesitate, so please ask Yuan Yin to come over and discuss countermeasures together." ”

"Your Majesty failed to grant our previous request?" Xiao Maha raised his eyebrows, in fact, it took two days for this edict to go back and forth on the road, and it was calculated that the military vacation at noon today was over, and the generals would be summoned in the afternoon, even if His Majesty asked them to go back now, they could still go back after the meeting of the generals was summoned.

If this is the case, the old man is also at ease, but His Majesty said in the edict. If the old man is in poor health, he can rest and recuperate in Zhongli, and then return to Beijing when his health is better, which is very different from the anxious and stern tone in the previous edict. Wu Mingche said with a wry smile, and couldn't help coughing lightly.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this······" Xiao Maha also showed a look of surprise.

Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "The younger generation thinks that Your Majesty's actions are nothing more than two possibilities. ”

"Oh?" There was a glimmer of light in Wu Mingche's cloudy gaze, "Ahem, the virtuous nephew might as well talk about it." ”

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and raised two fingers, and then bent down one of them: "This is the first, naturally, it is the matter that the Metropolitan Governor and General Wu Yi joined forces to refuse to return to Beijing before His Majesty got angry, so this edict is not so much to appease the Metropolitan Governor, but to tell the Metropolitan Governor to 'don't go back'." ”

Wu Mingche chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty's old man is still clear, and there will definitely be no such overt and ironic acts, and the old man's illness is ······ Ahem······ Your Majesty is also clear, and there have been many condolences before, so these words should be from Your Majesty's heart. ”

Li Xinchen nodded: "This is just a possibility. The second is that His Majesty is also aware that there are people who want to embarrass the Metropolitan Governor and General Wu Yi······"

"What the old man thinks in his heart is also this possibility," Wu Mingche said in a deep voice, "Yangzhou Assassin History can still make a lot of noise in my Zhongli County, and in Yangzhou or even in the capital, who knows what has been prepared for us, and it is impossible for Your Majesty not to be aware of this, which makes us go back a few days later······ Ahem······ It shows that His Majesty still doesn't want us to lose. ”

Xiao Maha also nodded: "If something happens to you and me, it will be unfavorable to the prince after all." ”

Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie subconsciously glanced at each other, and they both showed sudden expressions. In fact, His Majesty did this, in the final analysis, he did not want the prince's side to come in a hurry, and as a result, he fell into the trap of Chen Shuling and suffered heavy losses. This is actually a means for His Majesty to maintain the balance of power between the government and the opposition.

Not only did he have to let the crown prince Chen Shubao maintain his fighting spirit and vigilance at all times because of the strength of his brothers, but also not weaken Chen Shubao's strength too much, causing Chen Shuling and them to finally cross their throne. This kind of skillful balance seems very simple, but when both sides of the balance are flesh and blood people, or even their own heirs, it is far from so simple, Chen Ji can maintain this balance step by step Until today, his imperial mind and imperial methods can be seen.

It's just a pity······ Li Xinchen breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Xuan only lived for more than fifty years in history, and it can be regarded as an unpaid ambition, if Chen Xuan is here, even if there is little left of Nan Chen's national strength, the Sui Dynasty may not be so easy to take down Nan Chen.

"The king's mind, it's useless to guess." Wu Mingche said in a deep voice, "Although Your Majesty said so, it is better for us to leave as soon as possible, this matter is ······ It is not beneficial to delay too much. ”

Xiao Maha said: "This afternoon, we should convene the generals of all departments to discuss the situation of the battle of Luliang, so it is better to set off tomorrow." ”

Wu Mingche stretched out his hand and patted the other edict on the table: "It's okay, if this military merit is not issued, I'm afraid that the brothers will come to this old bone to collect debts!" ”

The three young men looked at each other, but Xiao Maha couldn't laugh, his face was solemn, and he didn't know whether he was worried about the safety of returning to Beijing or worried about many matters in the army now.

————————————————--

The drums were beating and sounding outside the barracks, and in the Nanchen camp, which had been empty for several days, flags fluttered in the wind, and fast horses continued to rush into the barracks, rolling up the tumbling dust. The infantry of the brigade lined up on both sides of the commander's tent, and the spears in their hands stood in layers, like a jungle of steel.

"General Wu Yi has arrived!" The sound of shouting came from outside the camp tent, and a famous general in the main tent subconsciously turned his head to look at the figure who opened the camp tent and walked in.

"General Denwei has arrived!" Another sound.

Xiao Maha and Pei Zilie strode in one after the other, both of them were holding helmets, wearing armor, and hanging swords from their waists, and their postures were generally upright, striding in, seeing that there were already many generals, Xiao Maha and Pei Zilie smiled and nodded and saluted.

The two of them acted in such a unified and neat manner, undoubtedly telling most generals that General Dianwei had completely stood with General Wu Yi, and everyone knew who was standing behind General Dianwei. The generals who have visited Xiao Maha's Mansion in the past few days, even if they have handed over their names, are secretly relieved, while the rest of the few generals are inevitably worried.

"General Yiyuan has arrived!"

The curtain of the camp tent was lifted again, and Yiyuan General Fan strode in, he was also neatly dressed and had a steady breath, obviously he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

(Author's note: There was a deviation in the previous research, Fan Meng was named General Yiyuan, and the successor was only then entered General Zhongwu)

"General Ning Yuan has arrived!"

Ren Zhong, the general of Nanchen Ningyuan, walked into the camp quickly, and the veteran bowed his head slightly as always, showing his respectful character undoubtedly, but everyone present did not dare to underestimate this veteran who had fought on the battlefield since the time of Hou Jing's rebellion, you must know that he has come to this day step by step, and there is also a sea of corpses and blood behind him, and people are rolling.

In history, this Ning Yuan general is one of the few people who led his entire army from Luliang, perhaps he has not been in charge alone, and he has no earth-shattering achievements, but just by virtue of the ability to return from the whole army in the Jedi, his ability cannot be underestimated.

"Ahem, it's all here?" The familiar voices of the generals came from behind the screen, but compared to the battle of Luliang, they looked older and heavier, "Then the account will be raised!" ”

Before the words fell, an old figure slowly turned the screen and walked to the position of the commander at the front of the Chinese army's big tent.

"The last general will see the Grand Governor!" The crowd will give up at the same time.

Even if this old man is old and has no power to restrain the chicken, even if he has no way to put on armor because of his rickety, he is still the Sikong and Dadu Governor of Da Chen, and he is the number one general of Nan Chen who led them to kill them from one flesh mill after another.
