Tong Guan suddenly lowered his voice very lowly, when he came into contact with the officers and generals of the Western Army in the past, his words and deeds looked very heroic and fast, and at this time, a pair of tricks were full of ruthlessness, as if at this time, he revealed his true character as a eunuch who could be with Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and other eunuchs around the Son of Heaven, and could also call for wind and rain in the court.

Tong Guan said this, and seeing that he had such a face, Liu Fa, who had been in and out of the corpse mountain and blood for a few times, couldn't help but change his expression. Tong Guan has been in charge of the military for more than 20 years, and he can even attract many generals of the Western Army who are known for their unruliness, is it really because he is good at commanding troops to fight, and he is generous and measured, which makes countless military sons treat him with great respect?

However, in the more than 20 years of the conquest of the Xia State Dangxiang, the Qingtang Zhuqiang, and the Hehuang Tubo period, most of the people who gave advice and commanded the soldiers and horses were generals who could recruit and fight well in the Western Army.

But behind Tong Guan, there are officials who are supporting him.

The Great Song Dynasty used literature to control the military, and most of the people in charge of the Privy Council were also civil ministers, like Tong Guan, the identity of the eunuch and the military began to get involved in military affairs, planning strategies, and ordering generals from all walks of life to implement and even normalcy, even if there was a disagreement during the period, the generals could only be obediently executed in most cases, otherwise they would be deposed and famous, and even sentenced to exile was not uncommon.

Tong Guan, this eunuch, is still in his original form now, and he wants to see the dagger, which will force me to send troops......

And at this time, Liu Yanqing, who was sitting on the side, also said: "General Liu, my Great Song Dynasty Wang Division is in three directions, and Tong Xuanshuai is now leading the troops in Xining, and the Xia army in the west is far away. General Liu took the land of Shuofang, and if he won it, he would cut off the connection between the Hengshan front line of the Xia army and the Xingqingfu, Ding, Jing, Huai, and Shun states of the Xia State, and even if the battle situation was unfavorable, he could lead his troops south to join our army on the Qinfeng Road without suffering a heavy setback. We and other countries will eat the official food and the court, and now we should be loyal and do our best to enter the country. At that time, if a great contribution is made, the imperial court will also be re-employed...... I can't say that I can't enter the tiger's den and get the tiger, General Liu is a famous general of my Western Army, and Tong Xuanshuai has entrusted him with a heavy task, which is where heroes come into play, and the most suitable person to lead the army to take the Shuo Fang is not General Liu. ”

Liu Fa was even more angry in his heart when he heard this, he snorted heavily, squinted at Liu Yanqing, and said coldly: "Liu Yanqing, you say that I am afraid of swords and swords, greedy for life and afraid of death?" If Meng Tong Xuanshuai values it, I think you can please the officials even more, why don't you see you competing for your life, but you only care about showing off your tongue here? ”

Although Liu Yanqing threw himself to Tong Guan's side in the power struggle of the Western Army, he was indeed a generation of generals who had repeatedly made military exploits from the Western Expedition, even if he was too far away from Liu Fa in terms of military exploits and prestige in the Western Army, but listening to Liu Fa's undisguised ridicule in person, Liu Yanqing, who was annoyed, immediately showed anger on his face, and stood up and shouted: "General Liu, you and I are both people who have led soldiers and horses and experienced life and death repeatedly, who has not rolled in the pile of dead people?" If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly! I, Liu Yanqing, are no longer good, but under the order of Tong Xuanshuai, I am willing to risk thousands of deaths to kill Xia thieves, this is a first-class good man! Now it's you who prevaricate and refuse to move forward, and you take the liberty of profanity, why do you insult me with words!? ”

"Enough!"

Tong Guan slapped the table table, and pointed at Liu Fa and shouted angrily: "Liu Jingluo, a certain family is bent on reusing you, but since you are a general in the army, you dare to bully the king, how can you not know the laws of the country?" Don't you think that a certain family will not dare to punish you for your sins!? ”

Bullying? This is really a sin that you want to add, and there is no excuse......

Liu Fa smiled miserably, he had indeed promised the officials that this expedition against the Xia State would be a great victory, but the general who went out on the expedition made bold remarks to the emperor to repay the country's kindness, how could this be regarded as deceiving the monarch? What's more, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Xia Kingdom, and this war is not something that can be achieved overnight, and he has never promised the officials to line up his chest and swear that he will be able to defeat the Xia army when and where, and end this war once and for all.

But Liu Fa also understands that Tong Guan has now changed his face and made intimidating words, not because he really committed any disrespectful crimes, but because Tong Guan was warning himself that he would be put to death according to this crime, which was also a simple matter!

Now Liu Fa can also see it clearly, although Tong Guan is fortunate to make a heroic and straightforward appearance in front of the generals in the army, but he has always been a power traitor in his bones. But it was precisely because of this that he was even more terrifying.

Sending troops, the chance of victory is slim, but the battle situation is changing rapidly, and there is still a slight chance of victory, which may be able to grasp it; If you don't send troops, you will be deprived of your official title, and your dismissal from military positions is probably a sure thing...... Although Liu Fa was indignant and depressed in his heart, he was not willing to work hard for many years, and all the fame he had won in the army by fighting bloodily for many years was ruined.

And Tong Guan also noticed the change in Liu Fa's expression, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. Now that the Jurchens in Liaodong have risen, it is reported that they have not only captured Huanglongfu, an important town in the north of the Liao Dynasty, but also defeated more than 100,000 Liao troops with 20,000 soldiers and horses in Hubu Dagang. He deliberately provoked wars repeatedly, didn't he want to blackmail the country's achievements and become immortal?

However, the seed master Dao led the Song army on the east road to defeat the Xia army in the Hulu River, and conquered Zangdi City within eight days, which made Tong Guan vigilant again, although the pacification of the Xia State is important, but compared to the real military exploits, he is not as entrenched in the Western Army, and now he is also leading the army alone, so isn't it more difficult for him to win over many faction generals in the Western Army?

If Liu Fa goes out on the expedition under his own generals, if he can really take Shuofang to conquer Xiping Mansion and win the victory in this battle that reverses the key to the Song and Xia Dynasty, the great credit will also be attributed to him, the commander of the Western Route Army who planned and planned, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, and even Liu Fa, a veteran general with a respected status in the Western Army, will be in danger of his life, but the death is just a thorn in the side of a person who supports the Tao of Seed Masters to control the military and political power of the Western Army.

Originally, he was dealing with the unruly generals in the Western Army, and a certain family was unwilling to do anything desperately, but Liu Fa, you have never known the level of your eyebrows, and a certain family is so coercive to you, but you are to blame.
