In the princess's mansion, as soon as Su Lu entered the door, he was stopped by Li Qing.

"I heard you're writing poetry again, where's the poem?"

Su Yun also stood next to him and said, "Brother, your poems are very valuable now, you have to put them away, where are the poems?" ”

Changning lowered his head and didn't speak, and Zhao Pu and Li Lin, who followed behind, didn't speak.

Su Lu spread his hands: "I wrote the poem, but I was drunk, and when I woke up, I found that the poem was gone, and then there seemed to be a battle around." ”

Li Qing looked at Zhao Pu with a helpless expression: "Zhao Demou, you say, what about the poems written by Su Lu?" ”

Zhao Puhaha laughed twice, changed the topic and said: "Brother Su was drunk when he was writing poetry this time, and he was so arrogant in the drunken Red Mansion that he really stunned the people of the long street. ”

"Hey, every time you enter Beijing, Brother Su must be homesick, how many days have you been away from home, Brother Su misses his hometown, and Brother Su is really a person."

Su Yun stretched out his hand to Zhao Pu's eyes: "What about the poems written by my brother?" ”

Li Lin cried with a sad face: "They were taken away by the envoys of the Tang State first, and we can't beat them." “

Li Qing was furious: "What, it was taken away, what an envoy of the Tang State dared to rob me of Li Qing's things, come to someone, kill the door, and take my poems back." ”

Su Lu asked Zhao Pu and said, "What news did you two send back this time, have you been to the Ministry of War?" ”

Zhao Pu slapped his thigh when he heard this: "I almost forgot about business, Li Lin, go, the military department." ”

When he was about to go out, Zhao Pu turned his head and came back and said, "Brother Su, don't go out yet, the military department will definitely summon the military counselor to discuss the northern strategy, you are waiting here." ”

Li Qing looked at the backs of the two of them, and his brows furrowed: "The Beiyang Xingying has formulated a new northbound strategy?" ”

Su Lu nodded: "It should be, they were ordered to return to Beijing this time, and they must have come with a strategy, Xiao Cong and Lin Tong are also very heartfelt, let them come." ”

Li Qing shook his head: "General Xiao is too feminine, it is not appropriate to be the boss, General Lin is too hot, the two partner in the Beiyang camp, but it is not a good thing, this time the northward strategy, there must be disputes." ”

An hour later, Su Lu was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and Changning greeted Su Lu outside the courtyard.

"My lord, the military department has summoned you and asked you to go quickly."

Su Lu put down the cup, got up and walked out of the courtyard, and asked Li Qing, who was wearing a purple robe: "The first time I go to the counselor's military affairs, do I need to bring anything?" ”

Li Qing hurriedly walked forward: "Hurry up, don't think about any preparations, if you can't reach the military department on time, you don't have to think about being able to send it on time this month." ”

When the two arrived at the military headquarters, Li Shangshu's office was already under martial law, and the guards in bright armor held long qiāng, and surrounded the office.

Li Qing showed the general's officer certificate, and Su Lu also showed the official certificate of General Ning Yuan, and when the two entered the office room, they saw that the room was already crowded with generals from all walks of life of the forbidden army, and Cao Ziwen of the patrol battalion was also present.

Zhou Shilang, who was in charge of presiding over the military meeting, cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone has arrived, let's start now, and agree on the northern strategy proposed by the Beiyang Xingying. ”

Zhou Shilang gushed endlessly about the military affairs brochure presented by Zhao Pu and Li Lin.

Since Su Lu captured the Jade Gate, the guards under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Xingying have built a line of defense, starting from the Gongqian Pass in the east to the Yumen Line in the west.

In the days when Su Lu left, the camp gathered heavy troops, wiped out all the Tule army horses in the territory, and after a period of hard fighting, now basically wiped out the Tule army in the territory.

After cleaning up the above-mentioned areas, Xiao Cong was content with the status quo and wanted to rely on the front line of Gongqian Guan Yumen to defend Tule.

Lin Tong did not agree with Xiao Cong's main battle, since he had swept away the territory of Tule, he advocated that the troops go out of Yumen, recapture Suozibao and Yangpingpu, and re-advance the battle line to the area of Diaoyin County.

The two argued endlessly, and the new Xuanfu Jiedu made the champion general He Gan more shallower, and he couldn't subdue the two, so he could only send two sets of strategies to the military department, and even the envoy to Beijing who presented the strategy was also a pair of people, representing Xiao Cong and Lin Tong's ideas respectively.

Zhao Pu was the main battle, representing Xiao Cong, and sat on the left side, and Li Lin, representing Lin Tong, was sitting on the right side.

Li Qing sat in front, second only to Shangshu Li Huaiyuan and a white-headed veteran on the right side.

Su Lu sat in the penultimate position, in front of Cao Ziwen, the governor of the patrol battalion.

Outside the office room, there was silence, except for the occasional howling cold wind in the courtyard, no other sound could be heard, not even the footsteps of the forbidden army.

In the office room, the generals in purple robes and scarlet robes, Su Lu and Cao Ziwen can sit here, completely because of the command of the first army, except for the two of them, the worst rank is Guo Zhun, the fourth-rank strong military general who sits next to Su Lu.

Su Lu yawned, the wine was not completely down, his head was still a little groggy, and the voice of Zhou Shilang above was small, which made Su Lu even more sleepy.

"Boom"

I don't know what Zhou Shilang said, and the office room immediately became lively.

All kinds of white-headed generals, middle-aged generals shouted noisily, startling Su Lu, who originally wanted to doze off.

Cao Ziwen glanced at Su Lu with disdain, and said in his heart, you are a vulgar thing, and I wanted to doze off after listening to two sentences, and wanted to damage Su Lu for two sentences, showing my superiority, so I lowered my voice:

"You are a straw bag, you can only be drowsy when you come to the military department, you can't understand the war strategy, waste."

Su Lu rubbed his hands and looked at Cao Ziwen with a vigilant face: "Don't worry, I won't beat you." ”

"Yes, this house is full of generals in the army, pillars of the court, as far as my rank is concerned, it is a straw bale, and it is a waste.

Hey, Cao Ziwen, your rank is even worse, the dignified governor of the patrol battalion is just a guerrilla general, and you rely on nepotism to get to the top. ”

Su Lu's voice became louder and louder, and the eyes in the office room were gradually attracted.

Cao Ziwen had a bad heart, he backed the eldest son of the emperor and forcibly served as the governor of the patrol battalion, which had already caused dissatisfaction with the military department.

"Smack"

Su Lu slapped the table, attracting the eyes of Li Qing and Li Huaiyuan, who were discussing the strategy in a low voice, and shouted.

"The heavy weapon of patrolling the camp and guarding the outer city is a great responsibility, and Cao Ziwen is a guerrilla general, and he has no experience in major battles to support, so I don't think he is suitable for this ministry."

"General, the patrol battalion is under the jurisdiction of the forbidden army, is it too derelict for you to hand over such an important ministry to a general like Cao Ziwen, who has neither qualifications nor achievements, but only nepotism?"

The eyes of all the generals and generals all looked at the Governor of the Forbidden Army, the general Pang De, the champion of the three ranks.

Pang De sat at the bottom of Li Qing, stroked his long beard when he heard the words, glared at Su Lu, and said without being angry and arrogant: "This general is doing things, why do you need to put your beak." ”

Zhou Shilang, who presided over the meeting, said: "The governor of the huge capital is wrong, the patrol battalion guards the outer city, it is the key point of Gyeonggi, and the people are not careful, so that the thieves have entered the capital, and it is useless for us to discuss the northward strategy no matter how much we discuss, it is better to discuss the problem of the governor of the patrol battalion." ”

Zhou Shilang has long wanted to clean up Cao Ziwen, and now that he finds an opportunity, how can he let it go easily.

Li Dang, the left attendant of the military department, immediately continued: "Zhou Shilang's words are very good, although the patrol battalion is not under the jurisdiction of the military department, but the responsibility is heavy, and the candidate for the governor must be cautious, I think Cao Ziwen is not qualified for this job, if the huge general insists on going his own way, this official does not mind going to the court meeting to argue with His Majesty about this matter." ”

The Ministry of War was dissatisfied with the independence of the Forbidden Army from the leadership of the Ministry of War, and had a suspicion with the generals of the Forbidden Army.

Pang De's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he was annoyed in his heart, Cao Ziwen, a mad dog, had just taken up the post of governor of the patrol battalion, so he didn't know how to restrain himself, how did he provoke Su Lu and the two squires of the military department.

"We're talking about the northward strategy now, and I don't think the matter of the governor of the patrol battalion should be discussed here."

Pound rejected Li Kang's proposal, and he was very tough.

A white-headed veteran who dared to bow down slapped the table, pointed at Pang De's nose and scolded: "Let your mother's Luo Quan'er fart, Pang Xiaode, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know what you think, the patrol battalion guarding the outer city was actually appointed by you to Cao Madman, you are ignoring Your Majesty's safety, Lao Tzu will find Your Majesty to sue you." ”

The veteran yelled to get up, pull out his chair, and was about to walk out.

Cao Ziwen, who was sitting at the bottom, looked confused, what I just said, will my governor's ministry not be able to keep it, why should I offend Su Lu, a reckless man......
