The next day, when the military discussion was held again, Hou Sui and Sun Chuanting really joined forces to let Li Yan go out together. But yesterday, Li Yan had just explained the reason to King Zhou, so King Zhou naturally wouldn't agree.

"Chitose." Sun Chuanting said loudly: "Since General Li's army is good at fighting, it should be placed in the most appropriate position. Defending a city is completely different from fighting in the field, and if you put it in the wrong place, it will go wrong. The prince thought twice. ”

At this time, King Zhou hesitated a little, he could not believe what others said, but Sun Chuanting said that he had to think about it. People are not talking on paper, they have really led troops to fight, and they have also captured Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and the strength is there.

He asked Li Yan, "Virtuous son-in-law, what do you say?" ”

Li Yan confidently arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, you can decide this matter yourself, and the general will have no opinion." ”

King Zhou nodded and began to scan the generals in the hall. Gao Jie, Niu Chenghu and other people in the Western Army are not familiar with it and are not at ease. I heard that this Liu Zeqing was arrogant, and he was not at ease. He saw Chen Yongfu again, this is familiar, and he also held the three sieges of the thieves, but each time it was crumbling, and it was only when reinforcements came to rescue him that he turned the corner, and he was still not at ease. In the end, he looked at Li Yan again, and still felt that Li Yan reassured him the most.

He will not hesitate now, he said majestically: "This king has decided, or let General Li stay to guard Kaifeng City, and the other generals also hope to work together, under the command of Hou and Sun, to exterminate the thieves and live up to the holy order." ”

Hou Sui immediately said: "Lord Wang, General Li has 30,000 horses under his command, Kaifeng has complete city defenses, and there are people to use. Therefore, the minister hopes that the prince can allow him to allocate half of General Li's army and soldiers to go south with me to suppress the thieves. ”

"Kaifeng has been besieged three times in more than a year, and the city defense has been seriously damaged and needs to be restored. And the soldiers and civilians in the city have repeatedly gone to the city to help in the war, and almost every family wears filial piety, and cries every night. It's really miserable. How can this king bear to let the people suffer more casualties? King Zhou said with some compassion, blocking Hou Sui's suggestion.

Sun Chuanting saw that Hou Sui couldn't even come out of half of Li Yan's people, so he stood up, clenched his fists and said loudly: "Lord Wang! Premier Hou is the minister of the thieves this time, and Li Yan is naturally under the rule of Premier Hou. How to use troops, it seems that you don't need to listen to the orders of the prince! ”

Hou Sui's face turned pale when he heard this. Although the branch of King Zhou is far away from the emperor's bloodline, after all, it is the bloodline of Taizu, it is the prince, and it is comparable to these criminal ministers?

King Zhou said angrily: "Open your mouth!" Take out the emperor's decree and take a good look, you are the governor of the three sides, and you will join Hou Sui to suppress thieves when you enter Henan. Hou Sui was in charge of the military affairs of Hebei, Baoding, and Shandong, and governed the thieves, and entered Henan to exterminate the thieves. Where do you say that you can dispatch Henan's troops?! Distorting the holy will, are you Sun Chuanting trying to be overbearing?! ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, and he tried to recall that it seemed that the emperor really didn't let them command the Henan army. Supervisor Ding Qirui can manage the soldiers in Henan, but in the first battle of Zhu Xianzhen, even his seal, edict, and Shang Fang sword were robbed by thieves, and now he has been dismissed, but the emperor has not appointed a successor.

Hou Sui hurriedly apologized and said: "Chitose, Sun Duchen is also worried about the overall situation of the thief, so he messed up and lost his manners. He is also loyal to the king, and he hopes that Chitose will be extra kind. ”

King Zhou waved his hand impatiently and shouted, "Quickly retreat!" Ordered Er and others to focus on rectifying the soldiers and horses, and within three days, the division will be dispatched! Chen Yongfu can also send 3,000 troops to help the battle, and other soldiers will guard the flood land to prevent thieves from attacking! ”

Originally, King Zhou also wanted to follow what Li Yan said, give them some tips, let them be cautious, the whole division is the best, and they can return to Kaifeng when necessary. But now that Sun Chuanting is angry, he is not in the mood at all. These unseen guys are innocent! He just needs to open it safely.

Hou Sui clenched his fists and agreed, and then took Sun Chuanting, who had not yet come to his senses, and the generals out of the palace.

"Boya, you're too presumptuous!" Hou Sui was dissatisfied: "How can you be so unreasonable to the prince?" We are subordinates, and we must not be without rules. ”

Sun Chuanting made a straight face, hugged his fist to Hou Sui, and said, "Mr. Lian is involved." The subordinate still has to go to rectify the soldiers and horses, so he will leave first. ”

"Don't get me wrong, Boya." Hou Sui hurriedly grabbed Sun Chuanting and explained: "I mean, Boya should not spend too much energy on this matter, there will be opportunities in the future." The top priority now is to exterminate the thieves in Henan. You and I are all guilty of sin, and we should be careful not to be humiliated by the prison guards again. ”

Sun Chuanting immediately thought of what happened in the prison, and the jailer's difficulties in every way, even if he drank a bowl of water, he had to put down his body and ask the jailer for it. Their greed for money and good goods, as well as their various methods, made Sun Chuanting feel disgusted.

Hou Sui saw that Sun Chuanting was calmer, and then said: "The matter has come to this point, you and I should discuss it carefully, how to suppress the thief." ”

"Well, Rong Chuanting will think about it, and then discuss it with Mr." Sun Chuanting replied.

"Okay, then we'll talk about it tomorrow." Hou Sui replied with a smile.

He only had a little bottom in his heart at this time. This time the king of Zhou was angry and drove him out of Kaifeng City, if there was no support from Sun Chuanting, then he would not dare to take half a step south. As for Liu Zeqing, who belongs to him, he has no confidence at all, Zuo Liangyu is playing with him, maybe he hasn't seen the thief yet, so he threw him down and ran away. Those who have followed Sun Chuanting and basically never lost are more relieved.

The officials and soldiers in Kaifeng were arguing, and Li Zicheng and others in Runing were also discussing.

Li Zicheng is still promoting his idea of beating Li Yan first, then Kaifeng, and then gaining a foothold in Henan. But now the team is not easy to bring, since the fifth battalion of Gezuo and others came, He Yilong and others have been mixed up with Cao Cao. Now Luo Ru has the support of these people, and he is even more openly contrary to him.

"Cao Cao." Li Zicheng said with some sarcasm: "You are also an old man who started the incident, why are you cringing now?" Is there still a little bit of blood? ”

Luo Rucai's face remained unchanged and said: "I'm different from you, you just think about your great cause." What do you mean by that? One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. I, Cao Cao, don't have that much thought, I just want to live with my brothers, and only by living can I enjoy the life of this prince and noble. What did the brothers rebel for? Don't you just want to be fed and clothed and live a good life? How good we are now, with food, drink, and mother-in-law, thousands of miles away, happy to live the gods. Guys say right, right? ”

"That's right!"

"It's fun!"

……

Many leaders are in agreement, not only Luo Rucai's subordinates, but even Li Zicheng's subordinates.

Li Zicheng saw that it was not a problem that there were too many people, not only could he not convince Luo Rucai and He Yilong, but also possibly let his subordinates relax their will. So he stood up and shouted dissatisfiedly: "That's all here today, let's disperse!" ”

Luo Rucai and the others didn't care, and left with a smile. And Li Zicheng could only use that one eye, staring coldly at the backs of Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others.
