Chapter 6 (21) Military Conference (Part II)

"General Xuanwei has arrived!"

With a roar, two eight-rank captains with knives came first at the door of the Moon Cave, and the waist knives were pointed at the left and right of the two walls, and then they saw three or four mermaids wearing crimson generals' robes rushing in. Shang Cheng wore a black gauze with a double two and four wings embedded in a single mink tail and walked in the front, followed by Li Shen, Zhang Shao and Ximen Sheng. Sun Huanzao took a group of military academies out of the conference hall, and they all went down the steps to line up on both sides of the stone road according to the rank and rank of the geese, and when they saw Shang Cheng coming recently, they solemnly raised their arms and said in unison: "See the commander!" ”

Shang Cheng is tall, his legs are long, and his stride is also large, although he is not walking fast, the three generals behind him have to walk fast to keep up, seeing that the generals and colonels are dressed up to greet him, he glanced at him and nodded slightly, returned the salute with a flat hand, and did not speak, led the three generals into the meeting hall, walked straight behind the handsome case and turned to stand, waved his arms and said, "Sit down." He said that he would sit down first. When he sat down, the generals and lieutenants who followed him each found their own positions, and sat upright with their palms on their knees, straightened their waists, straightened their chests, and sat upright like mud tires and wooden sculptures. Suddenly, there was not even a sound of phlegm and cough in the huge conference hall.

Shang Cheng didn't speak right away. He first took off his blindfold and put it on the desk, his elbows supported the desk with his fingers crossed and half-clenched into a fist, his eyes shining brightly and he looked around from left to right before he said, "Before the meeting begins, two orders will be announced. After that, he glanced at Zhang Shao. Zhang Shao, who was the first in front of the handsome case, stood up with two red-headed official documents in his hands, first made a military salute to Shang Cheng, turned around and read out loud in front of the handsome case:

"Admiral Jun of Yanshan. Order, due to preparations for war, from now on, the three libraries of Yinan, Geping, and Poyu under the original Yanshan Weimu Mansion system will be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Yanshan Admiral's Office; In order to ensure the unification of the order for the coordination of affairs, since the date of the order, Yinan Library has been temporarily controlled by the command of the Duanzhou Guard, Ge Pingku has been temporarily controlled by the Yanshan Guard, and the Poyu Warehouse has been temporarily controlled by the Yamen under the command of the Fangzhou Guard. This order. Admiral Shang of Zhao Yanshan. Date.

"Admiral Jun of Yanshan. Order, since the date of the issuance of this order, Yinan Reservoir Transit Envoy Chen Quan, Ge Pingku Transit Envoy Huo Shiqi, and Poyu Warehouse Transit Envoy Xue Dao, all three of them were awarded the military post of lieutenant under the seventh rank of Guide, and granted the right to control the existing garrison garrison within the jurisdiction of the Three Reservoirs, and concurrently led the post of Pastoral Transport. Yinan, Ge Ping, and Poyu Sanku are currently the deputy envoys for transport, and they are all awarded the lieutenant of Huaihua from Bapin, and they are also the deputy envoys for the transfer of the pastoral mansion. The existing vesting expediency of the remaining functions of the three libraries will not be changed for the time being. This order. Admiral Shang of Zhao Yanshan. Date. ”

After reading out the order, he bowed down and handed over the two official documents to the flag officer of the Admiral's Mansion standing by the handsome case, and then made a military salute to Shang Cheng, seeing that Shang Cheng bowed slightly and had no other instructions, then returned to his seat and sat down again.

Shang Cheng lowered his gaze and stared at the two official documents spread out on the case, and suddenly said slowly: "Everyone heard the content of these two decrees clearly, right?" ”

"Yes! Hear me clearly! The generals and colonels in the hall agreed together.

Shang Cheng stretched out his hand and pushed the two official documents aside, slowly raised his head, and didn't look at anyone, his eyes moved all the way from the handsome case to the outside of the conference hall, and continued in a calm tone: "I think, from the day you received the order from the Admiral's Mansion, you have probably been speculating and inquiring about why you were brought to Yanzhou this time, and why such a military meeting was held. He paused, as if to give the officers a moment to think, and as if he was thinking about something himself, his gaze lingering for a long time somewhere outside the hall. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his gaze still did not retract, and he whispered as if he was talking about something trivial and worthless, "...... I think many of you probably know that you're bringing you back because we're going to have another battle with the Turks. ”

Before the meeting, everyone had speculated and discussed this, and here they saw Li Shen and Ximen Sheng, who were stationed in Duanfang and Erzhou respectively, suddenly appeared, which further found a credible basis. But speculation is speculation after all, no matter how good the reason is, it is not as reliable as Shang Cheng's personal confirmation, at this moment, his words are like a stone being thrown into a calm pool, and immediately caused a ripple in the conference hall, although a dozen battalion and brigade-level officers did not dare to speak loudly, but many of them raised their arms and twisted their legs in their seats. Several generals sat solemnly in their seats, and even their eyes and expressions did not change at all, looking at their noses, noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, and the old monks did not move at all. Obviously, they had already been notified by Shang Cheng or the Wei Mansion.

Shang Cheng listened to this, and it wasn't until the silent commotion in the hall gradually subsided that he continued: "Everyone knows how deep the hatred between Tu Ji and us is, but do you know the origin of Tu Ji Ci? …… In the first year of the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the name of the Tuqi clan first appeared in people's field of vision, and at that time they were called 'Doti', and they were a small tribe at the foot of the Jinzi Mountain in the upper reaches of the Lanamoqin River. Seventy years later, in the eleventh year of Tang Kaiyuan, the leader of the cowardly people presented the raccoon tiger, Xuanbao, Shenzhu and treasure knife to the then Tang Dynasty emperor Tang Xuanzong, and was given the surname of 'Yue' by Emperor Xuanzong, and was named Dushi Khan...... By the fourteenth year of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, when An Lushan colluded with the rebellion of the barbarian tribes such as Luo, Xi, Khitan, and Murowei in the fourteenth year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, the cowardly people had already relied on the rewards and gifts of the Tang Dynasty to become the overlord of the Lanamoqin River Valley. The Anshi Rebellion not only greatly weakened the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, but also weakened their deterrence and influence on the northern grasslands. In the late Tang Dynasty, the town of the Tang Dynasty was divided into troops and became a disaster, all kinds of ghosts and gods sang and I appeared, the Central Plains was in flames, but the cowardly people devoured their opponents one after another on the grassland, first the Khitan, then the Murwei, and then Luo, Xi, and Guihu...... By the time Tang Shuofang's army was defeated in Jiuyuan in the second year of Tang Jingzong's Baoli and 50,000 people in seven counties of Jizhou were taken into captivity, the grassland had been basically unified, east to Heishui, west to the Green Ridge, north to Hanhai, south to the Great Wall, and thousands of miles of territory, all of which were their pastures. Our hatred with the Turks began that year. ”

He wrote an article, but most of the generals present were stunned and confused. This is a military meeting, but the Admiral General has pulled the topic to the origin of the Tu Tu people, although it cannot be said to be a thousand miles off topic, but it always makes people feel a little out of words, so everyone in the hall has a tense face and a look of concentration and concentration, but many people are secretly pondering the deep meaning of these words in their hearts.

Before Huo Shiqi entered the council hall, he was still an eighth-rank civil official who received seven-rank errands, and he was not eye-catching at all among the fifth-rank generals and sixth-rank lieutenants in a room, and his seats were also arranged at the end of the back row according to his rank. was suddenly transferred to the military, and was promoted to the rank of seven-rank captain on the spot, and was not arguing with the east, west, north and south from the tinnitus, and in a trance, he vaguely noticed that someone in front of him nodded and winked at him, and looked over carefully, but saw Sun Zhongshan sitting under Sun Huan. Huo Shiqi's gaze turned over, Sun Zhongshan was still sitting upright and not looking sideways, but the corner of his mouth on the right side was slightly curved, revealing a close smile.

Huo Shiqi secretly shook his head and smiled, just thinking about how to greet and talk to Sun Zhongshan at the end of the meeting, when he suddenly felt that two eagle-like eyes were staring at him. Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable, his mouth was dry, his scalp was numb, his chest was like being pressed against a grinding plate, and he even had a little trouble breathing. He forced himself to hold his composure, took two deep breaths, and slowly searched for the past in the direction......
