One bad thing after another, Wang Laixing couldn't help but be irritable. Qin Qigong saw that his face was becoming more and more ugly, and gave Wang Laixing a look, and the two found an excuse to go around to the back of the palace to meet secretly.

"Mr. Qin, look at it, what's going on!" Wang Laixing spread his hands and shook his head, "Before the military order was issued, he made an assertion and attacked, and still took me as the commander in his eyes?" ”

"Calm down, Steward." Qin Qigong said in a low voice, "The various departments of the Sichuan army come from a huge number of sources, and they are not like my Zhao Ying's own army, which is also a situation that can be expected early in the morning. He continued, "As far as my Zhao camp is concerned, there is no shortage of such changes, have you forgotten the matter of Qin Jinxiao in the early years in Hanzhong?" "Qin Qigong has a clear distinction between public and private, and he never favors his own family when it comes to things.

Wang Laixing knew that he was talking about Qin Jinxiao leading his troops out of the army at that time, so he sighed and didn't answer.

"Seeing the moves, being able to adapt to the situation, is a talent for the general." Qin Qigong said, "Tan Wen and Tan Yi are eager to fight, it is better than not being cowardly." At the moment of the war, the governor should focus on this, and it is not too late to decide on the end of the war when the war is over. ”

Wang Laixing nodded, and Qin Qigong pleadedly persuaded: "For the generals, the most taboo is to be happy and angry, especially at such a critical moment, the military heart is delicate. The manager needs to be careful in everything he says and does, and he must not make decisions out of anger. ”

"Alas, what Mr. Qin taught." Wang Laixing's face was ashamed.

Qin Qigong followed Zhao Dangshi very early, and gave Zhao Dangshi, who was young and vigorous at that time, a lot of important suggestions, although he later transferred to administrative affairs and civilian positions, but he was the oldest among the strategists in Zhao Ying, and he could lead troops on the horse and govern the people when he got off the horse, which can be called both civil and military, and was most respected by the generals. In the face of Zhao Dangshi's master, Wang Laixing has no contradictory reason.

"Since Tan Wen and Tan Yi can't bear to kill the past, it doesn't have much impact on our army's own front. And the morale of the people is boosted, and maybe it can have a miraculous effect. Qin Qigong analyzed, "What we have to do now is to put the reserve troops on top in time, so as not to weaken the front-line troops and take advantage of the enemy." ”

"But Shi Yan ......," Wang Laixin was annoyed when he thought of this stubble.

"You can't put your hope in others in everything you do, let alone the battlefield where the sword is ruthless and involves life." Qin Qigong said calmly, "Shi Jiao Zhenjing and the rear camp and Zhao Ronggui's troops are all available, and it is not a big problem to set off quickly. ”

"Jinghe Houying and Zhao's Ronggui Department, who should be sent?" Wang Laixing asked.

Qin Qigong said lightly: "The chief manager decides." ”

Wang Laixing touched his chin and thought for a moment, but said: "It's better for Zhao 'Ronggui to go." After all, he is a general in southern Shaanxi, a veteran of the battlefield, and with him to control and assist Tan Wen and Tan Yi, the front line is much safer. And its troops are more than horses, back and forth effectively, in contrast, I Jing and the rear battalion have many firearms longer than the position, or sit in the town is better. ”

Qin Qigong smiled and said, "The chief manager has insightful opinions, and he can act accordingly." ”

After the two discussed, Wang Laixing calmed down a lot, turned back to the front of the hall, Tan Hongsan stepped up in two steps, and said with a red face: "Boss, don't you pay for the two brothers below!" These two brutes really don't understand the rules! ”

He thought that he was going to usher in a storm-like reprimand, and he was still apprehensive, but Wang Laixing was kind and pleasant, and said: "The two Tan guerrillas are eager to kill the thief, I can understand." Now that the initiative is being struck, morale is being used. ”

Tan Hong was stunned, and before he could speak, Wang Laixing had already ordered loudly: "Zhao's Ronggui!" ”

"In!" Zhao' Ronggui flashed out.

"Order your troops to immediately raise troops and horses, rush to Yeziyan, and plan the war between Yangshipan and Bailu Township. If there is any abnormality, report back to the camp to decide! ”

"Yes!" Zhao' Ronggui took the order, and the whole armor flew away.

"Wang Guangying!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Order the soldiers and horses in your battalion to strengthen their guard outside the town, expand the range of sentry cavalry loitering, and don't give the enemy any chance to take advantage of it!"

"Yes!" Wang Guangying agreed, and also walked out of the hall without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the generals around Tan Hong left one after another with their duties, feeling a little lonely, and seeing Wang Laixing's calm appearance, he was very uneasy for no reason. Standing in the hall and thinking for a while, he took the initiative to say: "Chief, I am not talented, I am willing to go to Luo's courtyard for a trip, and I must say that Master Ma will mobilize troops!" ”

Wang Laixing was stunned, and Yu Guang saw Qin Qigong nodding slightly, so he said, "Then there is Lord Lao Tan." ”

Tan Honglian said that it was okay, hurriedly walked to the side door, and soon disappeared.

Wang Laixing fell back at this time, smiled again, and said, "I didn't expect three or two sentences, but I was much more down-to-earth." Hehe, I have to come to Tan Hong's unexpected joy of taking the initiative to invite Ying. "Tan Hong's position in eastern Sichuan is very important, and with him on the horse, Shi Yanbing can't help but give face, and the possibility of sending troops has greatly increased.

"The head of the department has made up his mind, and the hearts of the three armies are naturally set." Qin Qigong stroked his beard gently.

As the day drew near, the soldiers brought lunch.

Wang Laixing temporarily dismissed the meeting, and Qin Qigong and the two of them were in the palace. The two were relatively speechless, and halfway through eating, Qin Qigong suddenly asked: "Manager, there is something I want to ask, I don't know if it's convenient or not." ”

"Sir, just say so." Wang Laixing listened to him and consciously put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"You and Alu...... When to get married? ”

The directness of his speech was unexpected, but fortunately Wang Laixing left his hands empty early, otherwise he would have thrown the dishes and chopsticks to the ground at this time.

"Mr. Qin, this ...... This ......"

"You two are a couple, everyone can see it. I'm old, but I'm not dizzy. Ah Lu is twenty-four this year, and he should have a landing, and it is not a matter of dragging it out. Since you are in love, it is better to make a decision earlier. ”

Wang Laixing said: "But now the matter in Sichuan is undecided...... Let's wait until the Sichuan matter is decided. ”

Qin Qigong shook his head and said: "The Sichuan affair cannot be decided in one day, but the marriage cannot be delayed in one day. To tell you the truth, are you worried about Qin Jinxiao? ”

"I ......" Even if Wang Laixing never admitted it, in his heart, he was a little afraid of the cold Qin Jinxiao. is not only because of the other party's character, but also because he is Qin Shilu's brother. The eldest brother is like a father, Qin Shilu's father unfortunately suffered, compared to his uncle Qin Qigong, Qin Jinxiao is Qin Shilu's parent.

"Have you ever mentioned a family affair to Qin Jinxiao?"

"Nope."

Qin Qigong couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Didn't mention it once? ”

"No ......" Wang Laixing sighed twice, "I'm really afraid that as soon as he speaks, Shi Lu and I will ......" In the face of Qin Qigong, he opened his heart and revealed his unconfidence.

Who knows, Qin Qigong actually laughed.

"Mr. Qin, who are you?" Wang Laixing's cheeks were hot.

"I also said that you had rejected him so that you had dragged it out. But I didn't expect it...... Ha ha. Qin Qigong trembled with laughter, and had no choice but to put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Then it seems to me that your worries in the past few years are just to scare yourself." ”

"Scare yourself? What do you mean by that? Wang Laixing's eyes lit up.

Qin Qigong said: "There is a huge age difference between Jinxiao and Ah Lu, Ah Lu is his sister, which is also equivalent to his daughter. Just ask, who would let their daughter stay in the boudoir until she was twenty-four or five years old? ”

Wang Lai was honest, but he was not stupid, and when he heard that Qin Qigong had something to say, his heart tightened.

"Ah Lu is a good girl, wait until now. Qin Jinxiao may not be the wicked person in your eyes. Qin Qigong shook his head as he spoke, "In the past few years, the people who have moved Ah Lu's mind may have even broken the threshold of entering the filial piety family. ”

Wang Laixing was speechless.

"Don't let Shi Lu be sad, and don't give Jin Xiao this face. In everything, it is better to look at it from the perspective of others. ”

When Wang Laixing heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene when Qin Shilu handed him three arrows that night, and the corners of his eyes suddenly became wet.

At this moment, the first army general rushed into the main hall, knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice: "Chief, news from the front." "This person is Ma Bao, the old general who defected to Zhao Ying in Jingzhou Mansion earlier, he is not young, but he is wise and brave, and he is very appreciated by Wang Guangying, and now he is the sentinel of Wang Guangying's camp.

The king came up and said, "Say." ”

"Tan Wenbu attacked the sheep stone plate, and Ben had the upper hand; Tan Yi's troops attacked Bailu Township, and it was difficult to hold each other. Seeing the situation, the thieves in the chair dam drew troops to reinforce Yangshipan, the thieves were rampant, and Tan Wenbu turned down......"

Wang Laixing interrupted him and said, "What about Zhao's Ronggui? Did you get to Leaf Rock? ”

"It's here. Tan Wen was in a hurry, Zhao Ronggui didn't have time to rectify, and quickly supported Yangshipan, and now Yangshipan is in a stalemate. However, it was discovered that after a group of thieves returned to Tan Yibu in Bailu Township from Roller Ping, Tan Yibu was frightened and had retreated three miles in a row. "Roller Ping is on the east side of Bailu Township, with dense mountains and forests, and it is likely that there have been soldiers and horses of the Western Army in ambush for a long time.

Qin Qigong stepped forward and said: "As far as possible, what comes out of Roller Ping is Liu Jinzhong's department, he is a horse, good at rapid progress, interspersed from the east, and can directly disturb Tan Wenbu's abdomen." ”

Wang Laixing immediately said: "It's better to let Wang Guangying go up to support." ”

"No." Qin Qigong shook his head and said, "The thief is cunning, Liu Jinzhong is out of Roller Ping at this time, if it is just to eat Tan Wen, it is obvious that he will use a knife to kill chickens." I think his real purpose is in Stone Toad Town. ”

"He wants to raid my home camp?"

"That's right, Tan Wenbu is ruined, my Shi Toad Town will not be able to sit idly by, if he wants to go to the rescue, the camp will be empty, and he can go straight in."

"There are 3,000 people in the Jinghe rear camp, and some people will go to Bailu Township, and the rest can still guard the base camp."

"It's possible, but it's too risky. Hejiang County is surrounded by mountains and lush forests, although it is not convenient for the impact of the thief horse army, but the rapid transfer has not been affected much, and it is completely possible to dismount and fight. On the other hand, our army has many firearms and many flat-fire artillery guns, and it is more difficult than the enemy army to exert its combat power in such terrain, and it is okay to stick to the town, but Liu Jinzhong can completely destroy the field part of our army halfway through the field battle, and then attack the town, so that he will be in the trap of a thief. Qin Qigong said while thinking.

But if Tan Wen is abandoned, Liu Jinzhong and Yao Zhizhen of Bailu Township can calmly eat Tan Wenbu, and then break the situation of Yangshipan. As a result, the front line of our army will be completely routed. Wang Laixing rubbed his hands, very hesitant, "Now it's too late to transfer Zhao Ronggui again." ”

"Zhao's Ronggui can't be moved, and if he moves, I'm afraid that the first person to go out will be Yangshipan." Qin Qigong's eyes were resolute, "Don't forget, Chief, our army still has a force nearby that has not moved. ”

"Sir, you're talking about the Stone Soldiers?"

"Exactly, Shi Yan's soldiers are accustomed to mountain field battles, so they sent them to intercept Liu Jinzhong, and they are nine out of ten."

"But Ma Wannian ......" At the critical moment, Wang Laixing's forehead oozed a lot of sweat.

Before Qin Qigong could answer, the sound of boots outside the hall entered his ears. Wang Laixing raised his eyes to look at the palace gate, and Tan Hong came back covered in sweat.

"Lord Tan, how is Master Ma?" Wang Laixing immediately greeted him, and at this moment, his heart was beating suddenly, as if he was about to jump out of his chest.

"Lord Ma agreed to join the army, but there was one condition." Tan Hong said, his face was not good-looking.
