Liu Zhongwu saw that the black-faced reckless man was very disrespectful to him, and he also felt sad in his heart, and secretly said: This Niu Gao is too reckless, and I can also cure you for the crime of neglecting the officials. This official also knows that you have a deep relationship with that Xiao Tang, if I am really willing to obey Gao Taiwei's wishes, all the generals who are close to Xiao Tang will find an opportunity to get rid of them one by one, how can you be presumptuous with me here?

Originally, Liu Zhongwu was able to take over the military power of the Jingnan Army, and he did have a relationship with Gao Yu to Zhao Ji. And when Liu Zhongwu went to the border court to take up his post, Gao Yu also hinted to Liu Zhongwu when he set up a feast for him, and he hoped that he would be able to make many contributions, but once he succeeded, I am afraid that many people would also die on the battlefield of the border court.

Of course, Liu Zhongwu understood the meaning of Gao Yu's words, but his roots as a veteran general of the Western Army were in the Northwest Frontier Court, not in the former division of the Bianliang Hall in Tokyo, which was controlled by Gao Yu. Although he tends to be a faction of Gao Yu in the officialdom, it does not mean that Liu Zhongwu will obey all of Gao Yu's plans, because Liu Zhongwu only thinks that the way of officialdom is changeable, and he must have a good relationship with Gao Yu and other close ministers around the emperor in the court, but he does not regard himself as a minion lackey raised by Gao Yu.

On the one hand, there was Gao Yu's verbal coercion, which made Liu Zhongwu feel very embarrassed, and generals such as Niu Gao in the Jingnan Army also knew that he was the main general, but he was relatively close to Gao Yu, who was fighting secretly with Xiao Tangming, so he also thought that Gao Yu and Liu Zhongwu were in the way, so they took the military power of the Jingnan Army from Xiao Tang. It seems that Wang Wenbin, Li Yongqi, Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong and other generals treated Liu Zhongwu very politely, but Liu Zhongwu could also feel that their attitude towards him was a little strange, and a reckless person like Niu Gao would not be false with him, and showed his anger on his face, which also made Liu Zhongwu feel a little crying and laughing.

Niu Gao, who was shaking his face with Liu Zhongwu here, suddenly heard a light cough again, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Wang Jin glaring at him fiercely. Seeing this, Niu Gao gave Liu Zhongwu a random hand, and said angrily: "Four days ago, there were some rangers who were on the side, and they had taught me to lead their troops to rush and disperse, killing fifty or sixty people, but these days the summer army rangers are frequently disturbed, and it seems that there is something big to do. ”

Liu Zhongwu nodded with a gloomy face, and waved his hand to order the generals of the Jingnan Army to go down to supervise the soldiers and horses of the inspection office. After Wang Jin, Niu Gao, Wang Wenbin and others received the order to remove the festival hall, Liu Zhongwu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat on the handsome chair a little tired.

"Daddy, although that Niu Gao is very disrespectful, he is brave in battle, and he also has some means to lead troops. He was the most obedient to Wang Tuanlian, and he would not disobey the military order and snub the military plane. It will take some time to teach people of such temperament to obey, and do not go to your heart. ”

At this time, Liu Qi, who had been holding his arms silently, suddenly opened his mouth to persuade his father, although there are eight brothers above Liu Qi, such as Liu Zhen, Liu Rui, Liu Yi, Liu Qian, and Liu Xi, but among Liu Zhongwu's nine sons, Liu Qi is still the most profound and decisive, and he does have the posture of a general, so this time Liu Zhongwu was ordered to lead the Jingnan Army as a partial division out of Hedong to enter the border village of the town, and also let Liu Qi, who had been awarded the cabinet gate by the imperial court due to Gao Yu's recommendation, rush to the border court with him, hoping that he could experience more training in the battle formation.

Liu Zhongwu sneered, and then said: "I also know very well what Niu Gao's ability is, but he complained that I took away Xiao Tang's military power, and the other lieutenant generals of the Jingnan Army don't say anything, I'm afraid they are all like Niu Gao's foolish people." We are soldiers who want to make contributions on the battlefield, and who is willing to pay attention to the pickled affairs of the powerful ministers of the DPRK and the central government?

Captain Gao has had a grudge with Xiao Tang for a long time, and this time I was ordered to go on the expedition, and I did secretly instruct me to use my power to cut off Xiao Tang's wings, if I really did what Captain Gao wanted, I would also be infamous as framing the generals in the army. But if it goes against his will, how can he teach his father how to explain to Gao Taiwei? ”

Liu Qi hesitated a little when he heard this, and immediately thought that he was deep and said: "Daddy, back then, Gao Yu was favored by the official family and ordered him to do the supervision of the army to accumulate side merits, so it is true that he has a relationship with Daddy. But how Gao Yu was promoted to the rank of Sanya Tai Lieutenant, and how his behavior in Bianjing and the stroke of the court were also cleared, on the other hand, Xiao Tang was also trusted by the officials, although he also had to be appointed by the imperial court, but the accumulated military exploits were also based on his ability. It is said that this time is also that time, our Liu family, now we really have to rely on Gao Yu's momentum, and still have to look at his eyes to act? ”

Listening to Liu Qi's words, Liu Zhongwu's face changed suddenly, and he immediately looked at Liu Qi, who looked calm, and was silent for a while, thoughtful......

"Sect Leader Wang, you also know that Liu Zhongwu's servant is the cronies of the high-ranking old thief who was forced to leave Bianjing back then! Although I don't have any scheming, I also know very well that the Jingnan army pulled up by Brother Xiao Tang was taken over by that guy and received the benefits for nothing, and it was also a high-ranking old thief who secretly made an obstacle from it, you want me to obey his military orders, I just don't accept it! ”

At this time, outside the festival hall, Niu Gao was also angrily saying to Wang Jin, but before his words fell, he heard Wang Jin say angrily: "You are so confused!" Military law is strict, where can you be allowed to act rashly!? Even if Liu Zhongwu was really instructed by Gao Yu to have some vicious intentions, and you repeatedly collided with him, wouldn't this give him even more excuse for your guilt according to the rule of law in the army? What's more, so far, there is nothing wrong with Liu Jieshuai's troop scheduling, so why do you want to be like him? You must know that now you are also the identity of Xingwu Junjian, but you can no longer tolerate you to be so sloppy and messy when you were in the Xiao family gathering! ”

"But! ......”

Niu Gao was still unconvinced when he heard Wang Jin's reprimand, but although he was angry in his heart, he didn't know where to start, and Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong, Wang Wenbin and other generals were also silent, as for Li Yongqi, he didn't know very well the reason why Xiao Tang and Gao Yu had a long-standing grudge against each other when they were in Bianjing, and he didn't know what Liu Zhongwu, who was now taking over the military power of Jingnan, had anything to do with Gao Yu, because he didn't know what else to say except for persuading Niu Gao to calm down.

At this moment, Wang Jin, Niu Gao and others seemed to hear a faint sound of trumpets coming from the northwest. They were all stunned, and immediately silenced for fear that they would hear something. Immediately afterwards, I heard the dull sound of the trumpet, which really reached everyone's ears.

The noise in the town border village became louder and louder, Liu Zhongwu and Liu Qi heard that there was a movement outside the festival hall and immediately led their own soldiers to rush out, at this time, a capital official in the Jingnan army also hurried to Wang Jin, Niu Gao and others, and hurriedly said to everyone present: "Report! Several generals, Xia Gou raised troops to attack! ”
