The two letters were sent to the Qingyi army in Yanzhou in the early morning of the same day by ten warriors who were said to have been personally selected by Pei Luo Khan, and because they involved the secrets of the two countries, Wang He, the envoy of the Qing Yi army, personally led a hundred elite cavalry to escort them into the pass, and when the two letters were presented to Zhang Zhongwu, it was less than a day before Pei Luo and Li Zhen met.

In the past few days, the sorrow on Zhang Zhongwu's face has been replaced by an unconcealable joy, and he even insisted on putting on the battle armor that had been shelved for a long time despite the troubles of the pain.

Although the people in the account did not know why, seeing that the Lord would repeat the heroic posture of the past, their hearts naturally became much clearer.

In the face of his father's obvious goodness, although Zhang Zhifang also did not know what was going on, he knew in his heart that the battle situation that had dragged on for nearly two months was about to be reversed, because only this possibility could make his father regain the belligerent look in his heart.

After Zhang Zhongwu enthusiastically recounted Li Zhen's plan, the generals were immediately divided into two factions, one faction, including Zhang Zhifang, fully agreed with Li Zhen's strategy of raising troops against the Xi and Khitans, while the other faction, led by Li Maoxun, expressed a different opinion on it.

Li Maoxun's concern lies in the Huang Jiasi, although the relationship between the Huang Jiasi and the Tang Dynasty is extraordinary, but it is a matter of life and death for 100,000 Lu Longjun, once there is any difference on the Huang Jiasi side, then the Lu Long Army is bound to be forced to a dead end.

And the reason for Zhang Zhifang's approval is also very simple, if this war is successful, there will be no big worries in the northeast of the empire for a hundred years, and more importantly, it can alleviate the increasingly strong suspicion of the imperial court towards his father, after all, his father repeatedly disobeyed the emperor's orders and postponed the use of troops against the three clans, although the court did not say it explicitly, but behind the scenes more or less resentment.

And although Zhang Zhongwu completely agrees with this plan for the use of troops, after all, if the commanders disagree, even if he thinks he can use his power to check and balance, it will be difficult for the generals to have scruples after all, and this is a taboo for soldiers.

In the face of the situation of endless disputes between the two factions, Zhang Zhongwu, who had just mentioned some spirit, became a little worried, at this time he was no longer the invincible and decisive generation of heroes on the battlefield, and many years of injury and torture made him no longer able to get on the battlefield, and in the face of the increasingly fierce controversy, Zhang Zhongwu seemed to be a little powerless.

At this moment, I saw a young man suddenly get up, but Zhang Zhifang almost laughed out loud when he saw this.

This person is Zheng Zhen, Zheng Taiwen, Zhang Zhifang naturally knows that Zheng Zhen is a close confidant of Li Zhen, coupled with his resourcefulness and discernment, he will definitely be able to refute Li Maoxun speechless at this time.

Zhang Zhongwu saw that it was Zheng Jin, and immediately asked, "Does Zheng Changshi have something to say?" ”

At this time, Zheng Zheng served as the governor of Youzhou, although he was only a civil official, but at this time, his identity was to represent Li Chengye, the assassin of Youzhou, to come to consult the military, and he naturally had the right to speak in this full hall of civil and military.

I saw Zheng Zheng Chong bowing slightly to Zhang Zhongwu, and then arched his hand and said: "Qi Yu envoy, although the lower official is soft-spoken, but this time he came to discuss on behalf of Li Tingshi, before the lower official came here, Li Tingshi once said that all the generals of my Lu Longjun are heroes in the world, and they are all loyal to the imperial court, and instructed the lower officials, as civil ministers, not to point fingers at the affairs of the army, just listen to the side!" ”

Zhang Zhongwu nodded after hearing this, and looked at Zheng Zheng intently, how could he not hear Zheng Jin's intentions when he had been an official for many years.

Sure enough, after saying that, I saw Zheng Zhen looking around at everyone, and then raised his head again and said: "However, after listening to the words of General Li and others, I ......."

Zheng Ji said, with a disdainful sneer on his face, and only after looking at Li Maoxun did he smile again: "I'm afraid that Li Tingshi has lost his eyes and said the wrong thing!" ”

"Zheng Taiwen! What do you mean by that?! When the words fell, I saw Li Maoxun suddenly get up, and said angrily.

"Why does General Li need to be like this, and listen to Taiwen to finish speaking!" Zhang Zhifang also stood up at this time and said unceremoniously.

"Sit down and talk to the old man! The enemy army is still outside, but you wait to quarrel first, and you are not afraid that others will see my Lu Longjun's jokes! Zhang Zhongwu immediately reprimanded angrily.

The two of them were stunned when they heard this, but Zheng Zhen was still standing in place, and the smile on his face was the same as Fang Cai.

Zhang Zhongwu looked at Zheng Jin, and the expression on his face was obviously a little discouraged, after all, Zheng Jin's rod was beaten, but it was Zhang Zhongwu's face.

"Zheng Changshi, the old man reads that you are young and vigorous, please give them an explanation for what you just said, otherwise you will ......" Although Zhang Zhongwu did not continue, the weight of his words was obviously extremely heavy, after all, Zheng Zheng was questioning the loyalty of Lu Longjun's generals, and the word "loyalty" was the most sensitive nerve in the imperial court, and the slightest carelessness would lead to fire.

After all, whether it is Li Chengye, Zheng Jin, or Li Zhen, they are all officials appointed by the imperial court, and they are different from the military envoys appointed by the imperial court to various feudal towns, the military envoys are subordinate to the eunuchs, while Li Chengye and others are directly ordered by the Son of Heaven, and their thoughts and thoughts are all related to the Son of Heaven's views on Lu Long, and Zhang Zhongwu has to pay attention to this.

I saw Zheng Zhen smile slightly, and said to Zhang Zhongwu: "Let the king calm his anger, since the lower officials have said this, they will naturally have an explanation!" ”

As he spoke, Zheng Zheng walked slowly to Li Maoxun and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask General Li, what is loyalty?" ”

Li Maoxun snorted coldly and turned his face to the side, and Zheng Zheng smiled and said: "Since General Li is unwilling to answer, then the subordinate will tell General Li that the loyalist, from the middle, from the heart, ancient to unremitting heart respect; It is the virtue of integrity, loyalty to the king, filial piety to relatives, and righteousness to friends! ”

"Since we are human ministers, we should be anxious about the king's needs and worry about the country's worries, so that we can be loyal! Now the four barbarians invaded my border, slaughtered my people, humiliated our country's prestige, and injured our country's body, this up to the nobles of the Son of Heaven, down to the people of Pifu Li are no different from the enemy, but you are still here to care about your own selfishness, Li Sima a few days ago personally led 3,000 elite horsemen out of the pass to fight for thieves, you are all generals who lead one side, I believe that there is no need to say more about the danger of this road, and now Li Sima has single-handedly persuaded the Bohai State to help, and it is a lone army to go deep into the hinterland of Xi and Khitan, so as to persuade the Pyro Khan to send troops to attack Murwei, which can be described as a godsend. And you are here to look forward and hesitate, hesitate, if you miss the fighter plane, fall short, not only fall into the place where Li Sima will die, but also put my Datang in injustice, if Huang Jiasi raises troops to attack, won't it be my Datang once again in the disaster of war? ! Such a ridiculous act, how can it be worthy of this loyal word! ”
