Li Mi and Li Zhenyuan also looked solemn. The transaction between the imperial court and the Hui people is really incredible, this is really as the marshal said, this is drinking to quench your thirst, and there will be endless troubles.

Wang Yuan calmed down, turned his head and smiled at Li Zhenyuan: "Brother Zhenyuan, you have gained a lot this time, and you are also very calm and sophisticated, I am very satisfied." ”

Li Zhenyuan hurriedly bowed and said: "The marshal has tormented Zhenyuan, and he doesn't dare to be called so by the marshal." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "General Li, I follow him as an elder, and you and I are equal friends." In private, there's nothing wrong with me calling you Brother Zhenyuan. General Li, Brother Zhenyuan has your demeanor, you say that your two sons are not successful, I think you are too demanding. ”

Li Mi hurriedly said: "Handsome, don't praise him too much." He's not even close. But this time I went to scout, and I was quite sophisticated. But compared to Dashuai, he is still 100,000 miles away. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "I don't listen to your words, you always prevent me from promoting your two sons." But today's things are meritorious, and I have to be promoted. I plan to appoint Brother Zhen Yuan as the general of the left army of the Shence Army, and hand over 10,000 cavalry to him, General Li has no opinion. ”

Li Mi hurriedly said: "Don't be a marshal, that's an important military position, I'm afraid that Zhenyuan will spoil the big thing of the marshal." ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and smiled: "Old general, don't say that, I understand that you are cautious, and your strictness in educating the two sons is also obvious to all." But whether you want it or not, the world belongs to future generations after all. The old general has been in power for decades, and now it's time for the younger generations to show their talents. Brother Zhen Yuan and Brother Pei Yuan are both past their prime, and as far as I know, they are also very capable. If you hadn't kept resigning, I would have promoted them to reuse a long time ago, can the old general not push away their future and opportunities today. The matter was settled. By the way, Brother Pei Yuan, the second son, don't be a deputy general under you, my personal guard battalion still lacks a deputy commander, let him report to Zhao Qing tomorrow, and take up this position. ”

Li Mi nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, the old man seems to be really old, I always think that they are still children under my protection, and I always worry too much." The handsome man is so important, and it is hard to say how grateful he is. Thank you Dashuai, just do what Dashuai said. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's right." ”

Li Mi shouted at Li Zhenyuan, who was standing in a daze: "Don't thank you for the grace of the handsome? Stunned like a piece of wood. From now on, you will have an important position and you will need to work harder. Be loyal to the marshal, don't have distracting thoughts, and glorify the family for my Li family. Got it? ”

Li Zhenyuan woke up in shock, was overjoyed, and knelt down to kowtow to Wang Yuan, thanking him repeatedly. "Thank you for the great handsomeness, I will do my best to disappoint the marshal."

Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, laughing heartily.

……

In the evening, the main generals of the Shence Army in Chengdu were all gathered. Gao Xianzhi was also invited to attend. Although he is no longer the general of the Shence Army, Wang Yuan needs him to participate in the discussion of this military meeting.

After the rebellion was quelled, Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi's positions as chief and deputy marshals were automatically resigned, and Gao Xianzhi was once again appointed as the envoy of Anxi Jiedu. But what's interesting is that Gao Xianzhi has already taken the stage and resigned from the post of envoy of Anxi Jiedu. Even if Wang Yuan tried every means to persuade him, Gao Xianzhi just didn't want to go to Anxi anymore, but was willing to stay in Chengdu to enjoy Qingfu. This former famous marshal of the Tang Dynasty is no longer keen on the life of the Quartet in the past, but prefers to enjoy Qingfu at home. After the Battle of Tongguan, he was already disheartened with the imperial court.

In the front hall of the royal mansion, all the generals gathered together. After returning to Chengdu, it was rare for everyone to gather together for the first time. Because each of them has a mess to do, and they also need to relax after a few months of conquest, most of them are busy with their own work. Unlike in the army during wartime, military meetings are held every once in a while, and everyone can often meet.

Because of this, this first gathering after the counterinsurgency made everyone feel fresh. After meeting, they joked with each other, exposed each other's shortcomings, and joked with each other by their names. There are even those who take someone to marry another concubine, or see someone in a certain building and a certain hall on a certain day and a certain day, and ridicule each other about these things. It's a lively mess. All of you here have been rewarded by the imperial court for their counterinsurgency achievements, and some of them have become marquis dukes, which can be said to be quite high. But when they gather together, they all throw aside what the public is up and down, and what the position is. They are all battlefield brothers who share life and death, and there is nothing taboo about it.

But in fact, most of the generals of the Shence Army didn't know the intention of Wang Yuan to invite them here tonight, and only a few core people knew that tonight was actually a meeting to discuss military operations. Many of the rest thought that they were just invited to drink and eat.

……

At the same time, in the study room of the second entrance of the Wang Mansion, Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi were sitting opposite each other to discuss. Wang Yuan invited Gao Xianzhi to the study in advance, just to ask for the opinion of taking the opportunity to send troops to attack the Hui people.

"Brother, you don't want to go out in the gentle countryside during this time. The envoys given by the imperial court did not do it. Brother, is this going to be indifferent to fame and fortune, and be a god outside of transcendent things? Wang Yuan asked with a smile.

Gao Xianzhi had a really moisturized time during this time, and his skin, which had originally become dark due to the feng shui sun exposure outside the battle, also became white and delicate again. The whole person looks handsome and fit, and his bearing is extraordinary. restored his demeanor as a beautiful man.

"Erlang, don't come to make fun of your brother, aren't you the same? I also married a concubine in my busy time, and you are not afraid that your body will not be able to bear it? Gao Xianzhi sneered.

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "It seems that we are each other, and the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass." ”

Gao Xianzhi waved his hand and said, "Don't say this, you have summoned everyone to come here with such fanfare, is it difficult to do it?" Have you decided to pull the flag and rebel? ”

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Brother, where do you want to go." I've already said that I won't take that step until I have to. If Li Mao is unkind, I will be unjust. If I do it first, I will not be the first to fall into the land of injustice. ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "That's right, you're not such a reckless person. But what is this to do today? ”

Wang Yuan smiled slightly, and immediately told Gao Xianzhi the news that Li Zhenyuan heard in detail. Gao Xianzhi frowned after hearing this, and his face showed anger.

"Your Majesty has really made a bloody investment, and he does not hesitate to borrow troops from Hui at the cost of land and the people of the city. This is ridiculous. Li Tang's ancestors and ancestors fought hard to lay down the country, and he was so violent. He's such a good emperor. ”

"Brother, as long as he has a stable throne, where will he take care of the rest? For the first time, 100,000 troops were borrowed. It was just to be able to take Chang'an and control the capital before us, and now, borrowing 50,000 troops, there is no doubt that it is to deal with our Shence army. He was preparing for the worst of his life. When these 50,000 Hui cavalry arrived, he would have nearly 130,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. The strength has increased greatly. Wang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Gao Xianzhi groaned: "What Erlang said is true, he is exactly what he intended. Therefore, he can use the land and city to mortgage and borrow troops, and he is desperate. What is Jiro going to do? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I invited my brother here to discuss this matter. My plan is to send troops to Shuofang and drive the Hui people out of the Tang Dynasty. I cannot allow the Hui to invade the frontiers, and once they gain a foothold and strengthen the city defenses, there will be endless troubles. Moreover, these Uighurs are brutalizing the people of the north, who have just experienced a rebellion, and it is easy to wait for the rebellion to subside, but then they have fallen into the hands of Hu Lu, and they have been bullied and mutilated, which I will never tolerate. ”

"But you just sent troops to attack the Hui people, can Li Mao allow it? When the time comes, he will definitely order to stop it. Do you obey or resist? Gao Xianzhi said.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Brother, I really hope that he will give an order to stop it, that is one of the purposes of my dispatch this time." ”

Gao Xianzhi frowned and said, "The more I listen, the more confused I become." ”

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Brother, how can you be smart and confused for a while." Let me ask you, if I don't tell Li Mao the content of the agreement reached with the Uighurs today, will you know that Li Mao will exchange the land and the city and the people for soldiers and horses? ”

Gao Xianzhi frowned and said, "Of course I don't know, Li Mao didn't announce this matter to the world. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "That's it." Does Li Mao dare to announce it? Such an agreement that humiliates the country, of course, he Li Mao must keep it strictly secret. I estimate that except for Li Guangbi and Li Mao's intimate people, I'm afraid no one knows about it. Because Li Mao knew that once this matter was announced, his bad reputation would fall again and again. It would have been possible that some of the people standing next to him would have walked away, because it was too much. An emperor who even dares to give away his ancestors, does he still expect him to revitalize the Tang Dynasty? ”

Gao Xianzhi looked at Wang Yuan blankly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't you want to force Li Mao to blow up his ugliness by sending troops, so that he will be blamed and scolded by the people of the world?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "That's exactly what I want to do." I'm going to force him to blow up the contents of the agreement, because if he doesn't publish the content of the agreement, he won't be able to stop me from attacking the Hui people. He wants me to withdraw from the army, and he must use this agreement as a reason, otherwise what reason does he have to order me to stop reconquiring the lost territory? This thing doesn't put me in a dilemma, it puts him in a dilemma. If he announces the content of the agreement, it will inevitably arouse the indignation of the whole world, and it will be even more difficult for him to stabilize the throne. If he does not announce it, the Hui people will not sit idly by and watch me lead the army to recover the fat they have eaten, and they will turn around and fight me with all their might. In this way, Li Mao had to rely on his own soldiers and horses to fight with Li Heng and their soldiers and horses, with the current strength in Li Mao's hands, if he fought with Li Hui and others, the outcome was unpredictable. If you were him, what would you choose? ”

Gao Xianzhi's heart tightened for a while, and at the same time, he admired the five bodies to the ground. This is a big problem, but it is not an easy problem to solve.
