"The commander of the front compartment of the lowly Tiance Army will make Wang Jian see His Royal Highness King Shou!"

On the wharf of a small town more than 20 miles north of Cangxi, Wang Jian knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Ye. Behind him were more than a hundred cavalrymen, all of whom knelt down on one knee.

These people were Wang Jian's personal soldiers, not the cavalry in the front compartment. Unlike the left and right compartments, although the front compartment also set up cavalry, but the horses are not complete, which is also normal, Shu does not produce horses, and the horses are also imported from other places.

Now in the north, Niu Miao controls Xing and Feng Erzhou, and Lu Yanhong controls Xingyuan Mansion, which is equivalent to cutting off the material channel from the north.

It's not absolute, Lizhou's neighboring Wenzhou, adjacent to Longnan, can get horses from Tubo and Hexi, but it hasn't been linked yet. If this material channel can be opened, it will be extremely convenient for Li Ye to obtain horses, and it can also open up a trade route.

But that is also in the future, at present, the Tiance army is relatively short of horses, Li Ye will definitely give priority to satisfying his descendants, first the royal army, then the two compartments of Li Hong and Liu Qi, then the front compartment, and finally the states.

The horses ridden by the more than 100 cavalrymen behind Wang Jian were all brought from the river, and only his own soldiers owned.

"Commander Wang, please get up." Seeing Wang Jianxing so gifted, Li Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly went over to help Wang Jian.

"Your Highness!" Wang Jian was also surprised by these hands before meeting, but he didn't expect the other party, as a prince, to personally help him up.

"Why did Commander Wang come to Cangxi territory? The front compartment is stationed in Qiping, and it is a big crime to leave the station without an order. Li Ye smiled faintly.

"Back to His Royal Highness, I heard that His Highness has entered the territory of Langzhou, and there are bandits on both sides of the Jialing River, and I am worried about His Highness's safety, so I came to escort His Highness. As long as His Highness arrives in Cangxi safely, he will return to his station.

At that time, the lowly will also be willing to accept punishment. Wang Jian said in a 'sincere' tone.

Li Ye couldn't help but sigh, this Wang Jian really has some ability to become a hero in history, this is too good at being a man. If nothing else, he said that he came to escort him, and when he was safe, he was willing to accept the guilt.

No matter who it is, it will be very touching to hear this. Historically, Wang Jian relied on this ability to win Li Yi's trust, and then rose step by step.

"Military discipline cannot be violated, and the king commanded the envoy to leave the garrison without authorization and should be punished, but he remembered that there was a reason for the incident, and he was exempted from January of money. After escorting the king to Cangxi, he returned to the station. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Hearing Li Ye's punishment of the rain and the rain, Wang Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted.

A month's Yulu is nothing to him, Li Ye had rewarded him and his army before, each soldier had five guan, and he got three thousand guan as a commander, so he naturally didn't care about a month's yulu.

Li Ye seemed to be punishing him, but he didn't actually refuse his escort. Li Ye accompanied more than 1,000 soldiers, and the Langzhou assassin has surrendered, and there is no conflict between Shannan Xidao and Dongchuan at present, so there is no war in Langzhou. Even if there are bandits, they can't threaten Li Ye and his party, who are protected by more than a thousand personal soldiers.

Wang Jian came to escort him, which was more of a formality, and won a good impression in front of Li Ye.

。。。。。。

"Jie Shuai, the matter has been clarified, Wang Jian, Han Jian, Zhang Zao, Li Shitai, and Jin Hui have all taken refuge in King Shou, and the army under his command has also been merged into the Tiance Army. With the strengthening of Wang Jianwudu, the strength of the Tiance army has increased greatly, with more than 20,000 troops, and it has already controlled the land of the four states, which is very unfavorable to us.

Moreover, Yang Shili, the envoy of Dongchuan Jiedu, also sent 5,000 troops and was assembling to reinforce King Shou. If we add the bull troops on the front, the army sent by the imperial court to crusade against us is close to 40,000 men, and we are under great pressure. ”

Hearing the news from his subordinates, Niu Miao's face turned pale, his hands clenched his fists tightly, and the whole person was like an angry bull, waiting to explode at any time.

"What about Lee's joining the army?" Niu Miao asked in a deep voice.

"Uncle..." Zhao Zhongwu next to him was a little hesitant, and when he saw his uncle's eyes, he blurted out in fright, "Uncle, Li Senjun is said to have taken refuge in King Shou and has become the sacrificial wine of King Shou's mansion." And I heard that the failure of the sneak attack on Lizhou was also because Li joined the army and defected to King Shou, which led to the failure of the whole operation, Han General was injured and captured, and finally took refuge in King Shou. ”

"Good, good, all of them have defected. If it was Wang Jianwu, Ben Shuai would not be surprised, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to betray Ben Shuai. Lu Yanhong said silently, the anger on his face was obvious, and there was even some self-deprecation.

This is also normal, he trusted Li Zhen very much before, he told the other party everything, and he adopted the other party's suggestions one by one, so he can be said to be the person he trusts the most. didn't expect the person he trusted the most to betray him, could it be that he Lu Yanhong is really not as good as King Shou, and it is not good to be a henchman above 10,000 people under one person on his side, so he has to go to King Shou's Mansion to be a small sacrificial wine?

"Jie Shuai, the humble position has long said that this Li Zhen is not credible. He only took refuge in Jieshuai halfway, and deceived Jieshuai with a pair of mouths, which led to today's situation. A scribe next to him took the opportunity to fall into the well.

"Okay, what's the use of talking about that now?" Lu Yanhong yelled.

"Shuai, the top priority is to change the current predicament. Wang Jian and others switched to Shouwang, which is equivalent to putting our hinterland in front of the imperial army, if possible, the imperial army can not only attack from Lizhou with the Ganyi army, but also divide the troops from Jizhou along the Micang Road to the north, directly threatening Xingyuan Mansion.

At that time, we will face the situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, which is extremely bad. Someone next to him said.

"And what do you think of Ben Shuai?" Lu Yanhong said coldly.

Although Lu Yanhong may not be able to listen to this matter, but thinking of the current predicament, someone still stood up, "Jie Shuai, if we can, we can give up Xingyuan Mansion, go back to Xuzhou, and recapture the garrison of the Zhongwu Army, wouldn't it be much better than here?" It's a big deal that we drive away Zhouqi, and the marshal can be the marshal of the loyal army. ”

At this time, the homesickness is more serious, most of them are people from Xuzhou and other places, and they naturally want to go home after coming out for so long. Their families are all in their hometown, even Wang Jian's family.

The current situation is that if you stay in Xingyuan Mansion, the future is uncertain, and instead of becoming the object of conquest by the imperial court here, it is better to return to the Zhongwu army garrison and expel Zhou Qi.

Hearing this suggestion, Lu Yanhong was a little moved, but he was a little unwilling to waste such a lot of effort to take Xingyuan Mansion and give up like this.

"General Pang, what do you think?" Lu Yanhong asked Pang Cong next to him.

"Jieshuai, just give up Xingyuan Mansion like this, and I am a little unwilling. Everyone worked hard to win Xingyuan Mansion, just give up like this, it's too cost-effective, to this point, why not fight. If you win, everyone will stay in Xingyuan Mansion; If we lose, we will go back to Xuzhou. Pang Cong said loudly.

"Marshal Jie, although there is some truth in what General Pang said, but with the army we currently have in hand, fighting on both sides, it is really not enough." Someone next to him reminded.

Lu Yanhong looked at the subordinates who followed him in front of him, and couldn't help but ponder, and after a while, he patted the table and said loudly, "Lao Pang is right, at this point, I am really unwilling to give up Ben Shuai like this." Ben Shuai decided to fight, are you willing to gamble with Ben Shuai again. ”

"My old Pang must be willing!"

"Willing to do it!"

"Humble ... Willing to be lowly and willing! ”

Seeing that many people chose to be willing, those who were hesitant could only nod. And Lu Yanhong saw that he was united, and he had a lot of confidence in his heart, but he was not overconfident, so he instructed his subordinates on the side, "Ben Shuai writes a few letters, and you immediately hand them over to Yang Shouliang, Yang Shouzhong and Yang Shouxin, there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Obedience!"
