"I can't choose, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and what I do will be detrimental to myself, so how can I choose?" Gao Xianzhi shook his head and said.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "This is just my first purpose. I have another purpose. ”

"And purpose?" Gao Xianzhi glared.

"Of course, the second purpose of this matter is that once our Shence army attacks the Hui soldiers and horses, the Hui people will lead troops back to rescue them, and it will be difficult for Li Mao to stop them, because they are only mercenaries and are not under Li Mao's jurisdiction. Once the Hui soldiers and horses in Chang'an came back to our rescue, it created conditions for Li Hui, Li Pu and others. After the Dragon Boat Festival, I will order someone to send the Emperor Taishang to drive back to Chang'an, and Li Mao will definitely refuse to accept the Emperor Taishang into Beijing, and then Li Hui and Li Pu and others will raise troops on the grounds that Li Mao usurped the throne. Without the support of the Hui cavalry, it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose in this brotherly battle. Our Shence army does not help each other, but only fights against the Uighurs, and no one can say anything about us. Wang Yuan smiled.

Gao Xianzhi raised an impulse to leave the table, Wang Yuan's move can be described as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, transferring the biggest force in Li Mao's hands, the elite Hui cavalry, so that the soldiers and horses led by Li Hui and others are on a par with the soldiers and horses in Li Mao's hands. Let them kill each other. It seems that the two don't help each other, but they really helped Li Heng and others. At that time, it will be difficult to predict who will win the Li family brothers.

"Virtuous brother, you are the most resourceful person I have ever met. Li Mao wants to fight you, but that's really beyond his strength. There is no one in the world who is your opponent. If Li Mao is self-aware, he should make peace with you and coexist peacefully. Otherwise, he will surely be defeated. Gao Xianzhi sighed.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother, don't say that, strategy is one thing, but implementation is another." Don't you hear that it is up to man to do things, and it is up to heaven to do things? Let's talk about this matter, my Shence army is not as easy as sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, what we have to face is the iron cavalry of the Hui people. Their cavalry is fierce and elite, not easy to mess with, and there are quite a few of them. The Hui people are all soldiers, and the backbone Pei Luo can destroy the Turkic tribes with a small Hui tribe, which is a real strength. If we are a little careless this time, our Shence army may be defeated in this battle, and at that time, we will be finished without Li Mao to deal with us. That's why I pulled my brother up from Gentle Township, and wanted to ask my brother to lead the army with my brother again, otherwise I would be uneasy. ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "Brother Xian, thank you for your attention. At such a critical time, how can I not do my part? Otherwise, you probably won't let me live in peace. For the sake of brother, but listen to your dispatch, you can rest assured. ”

Wang Yuan got up with great joy, bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, brother." With my brother out on the horse, I'm much more at ease. ”

……

In the front hall of the royal mansion, the scene was warm and noisy, and everyone was still teasing, chatting and laughing with each other. But with a shout of "King Xiping has arrived", the water ducks in the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone immediately restrained their smiles, straightened their clothes and stood solemnly, their eyes brushing at the back door of the front hall. But seeing the sound of footsteps, Wang Yuan walked in with a smile on his face, followed by Gao Xianzhi, Liu Jun, Zhao Qing, Tan Ping, and a few others.

"The lowly rank has seen the prince." All the generals bowed their hands in unison and greeted in unison.

Wang Yuan laughed and arched his hand: "What is the name of the prince?" Isn't it better to call it handsome? The word prince sounded awkward. ”

Liu Dehai said with a smile: "Yes, I also think that it is comfortable and kind to call Dashuai, and we will still call Dashuai in the future." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's right, it's called Dashuai, and I love to listen to it." How are the brothers doing? I haven't gotten together with my brothers for many days, and I've all been added to the ranks, and all of them are red-faced, and it seems that people are in good spirits at happy events. ”

The generals laughed and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the big handsome, if you don't follow the big handsome, how can we have the scenery of our brothers today." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "What does your scenery have to do with me?" You paid for it with your lives, and it's all up to you. ”

"Dashuai's words are not right, without Dashuai, there will be no us. Da Shuai is our reborn parent. A bearded cavalry general shouted.

The crowd laughed. Song Jiangong quipped: "Ma Tengfei, at your age, how can a handsome man give birth to a son like you?" You're good at leading the army to fight, but you haven't grown much in your sycophant kung fu. ”

The bearded horse Tengfei said nonchalantly: "Thousands of clothes are worn, but sycophants are not worn." As long as the handsome man is happy, he can take his brothers to get promoted and make a fortune. I don't care about anything else. ”

The crowd burst into laughter again. Wang Yuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Sit down, come on, serve good tea and snacks to the brothers, and pad your stomach first." Let's talk over tea. ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and the servants and maids came up, made fragrant tea, and put snacks and preserved fruits on the table. After Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and asked Gao Xianzhi to sit down on the big chair beside him, Shi Shiran sat down. His eyes swept over the dozen or so generals who followed him from birth to death in front of him, and his heart was very comfortable and peaceful.

Many of these people were former generals of the Jiannan Army, such as Song Jiangong and Li Mi, who have followed them since they entered Jiannan until today. At the beginning, Song Jiangong was just a small marching Sima, and now he has become a marquis, serving as the envoy of the soldiers and horses of the Jiannan Festival, and concurrently serving as the assassin of Shanzhou. The military rank has also changed from a six-rank deputy general to a third-rank general. There are also such as Liu Dehai, who was born and died with him since he was not in Jiannan. From a small Shicao to join the army, he is now the general of the Shenwei Battalion of the Shence Army, and the commander of the Hexi Provincial Army. is already a high-ranking official.

For example, Zhao Qing, Tan and others used to be low-level generals, and they even had no military positions at all. In the past few years, they have also become their confidants, and both of them are also General Lang, and they are the most intimate and trusted people around them. In addition to these people who once followed him, there are also several generals who stood out from the vicious battles, were promoted by themselves all the way, and gradually became the mainstay of the army.

All the generals in front of him have gone through countless baptisms of life and death, and have followed themselves through many hardships to get to where they are today. Therefore, Wang Yuan has a very deep affection for them, and he trusts them from the bottom of his heart. From their eyes, Wang Yuan could also feel that trust. They also have complete trust in themselves. This is the real friendship of life and death, the friendship of battle.

"Brothers, do you know what the marshal invited you to my mansion today to discuss?" Wang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Didn't you invite us to a drink?" One of the generals asked with a smile.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It is natural to drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat, but it is more important to discuss one thing with my brothers." ”

"What is the commander's order, just give the order, what to discuss with our brothers? The marshal will be whatever he says, and he will do what he says. Whoever snorts, I can't spare him first. Liu Dehai said loudly.

"Yes, yes, Liu Dehai is right, the big man is polite to us, just give the order." The generals said in unison.

In the process of Wang Yuan leading the army, he has always been the same. The decision he made, to put it mildly, was that it was difficult for the generals to persuade Gao Xianzhi to turn back. So once Wang Yuan was polite, everyone felt uncomfortable.

"Okay, since the brothers trust Ben Shuai so much, then Ben Shuai is not hypocritical. Ben Shuai does have an order to give, but before that, you need to let your brothers know the reason for this order. Li Zhenyuan, tell you about the information you learned when you went to Hedong and Shuofang to reconnoitre. Wang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Li Zhenyuan got up and bowed to the promise, turned around, and told everyone in detail about the situation he knew about going to the east of the Shuofang River to reconnoitre. While the general was listening to his narration, some people began to grit their teeth and curse, and when Li Zhenyuan's voice fell, there was already a lot of scolding in the seat.

"What the hell, what did you do? Is the court dizzy? How dare you give up the land of the city on the northern border? It's all a place sprinkled with the blood of soldiers and horses on the border. How many people died there for so many years to guard the border? These people died in vain. ”

"Yes, what evil has fallen into Your Majesty? How can you allow the Hui people to do such evil at the border of my Datang Dynasty? And so many captured grain, grass, materials, weapons, and armor were handed over to the Hui people? Isn't this a problem for raising tigers? ”

"I really can't figure it out, our Shence Army could have swept away the rebels, why did Your Majesty borrow back the soldiers and horses of the Su people to quell the rebellion. Don't you believe in my ability to command the army? ”

"Brother, you don't understand this, Your Majesty is not borrowing troops to quell the rebellion, it is to deal with our marshal and our Shence army. Your Majesty is afraid that our Wang Dashuai has great ability and many soldiers. So he borrowed the soldiers and horses to fight us. It's really a big fight in the blind chicken nest. ”

"Huh? Are you serious? Your Majesty is going to deal with us? ”

“……”

In the face of the full house of discussions, Wang Yuan raised his hand expressionlessly and lightly tapped it on the table a few times.

'Tuk Tuk' sounded a few times, and the hall was suddenly silent.
