There was silence in the Hanyuan Palace, and the ministers were silent, as if going back in time, ten years ago, it was also a New Year's party at the court, and the scene of Zhang Potian being forced to step down by Cui Yuan seemed to reappear.

But Cui Yuan is not Zhang Potian, he still has strong strength, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

After being silent for a long time, Cui Yuan finally said to the Son of Heaven Li Xian: "Your Majesty, the minister also hopes to explain the matter clearly, and give everyone justice, please Your Majesty's permission!" ”

Li nodded slightly and agreed to his request.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Cui Xiong will come to see you!"

"Xuan Cui Xiong's Audience ....."

The voice gradually spread far away, and at this time, Cui Yuan glanced at Wei Ge and said coldly: "I called Cui Xiong to confront him, I don't know Wei Shangshu's witness, don't be hearsay." ”

"Humph! Not only witnesses, but I will invite real heroes to confront Cui Xiong. He walked quickly to His Highness and whispered a few words to one of the guards, who quickly left the hall.

Cui Yuan's eyes flickered, all the people stopped talking, each thinking about their own thoughts, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely dull, and little by little time passed slowly, only a quarter of an hour passed, as if it had survived thousands of years.

Hurried footsteps finally came from outside the main hall, and everyone suddenly came to their senses, and a guard ran in quickly, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Cui Xiong and Zhang Huan are here!" ”

Li Ji looked at Cui Yuan and Wei Ge, and there was an extremely small cunning look in his eyes, and in a flash, he smiled slightly: "Two Aiqing, do you want to start now?" ”

Cui Yuan and Wei Ge looked at each other deeply and nodded at the same time.

"Give Zhang Huan white clothes, and announce the two of them to meet!"

．．．．．．

The so-called white clothes are a gift from the Tang Emperor to meet people who have no identity, and soon, Zhang Huan put on white clothes and slowly walked up to the most magnificent palace in the Tang Dynasty.

Doubt, contempt, admiration, all kinds of eyes are intertwined, as if the layers of nets are tightly wrapped around him, but his eyes are calm and calm, and he walks with his head held high in front of countless proud and noble heads.

Cui Xiong, who was behind him, was also undaunted, and walked into the main hall majestically, like an aggressive rooster looking for an opponent everywhere, his eyes full of contempt and arrogance.

A clear voice and a hoarse voice sounded in the main hall one after another, "Taiyuan people Zhang Huan.... Fengxiang Army Lieutenant General Cui Xiong.... Knock on His Majesty the Emperor, I wish Your Majesty long live, long live! ”

"Two flat!" Li looked at the two young men with interest, and he still had an impression of Cui Xiong, who had beaten the grandson of Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County, to the head at the Qujiang banquet last March.

Li Xie shook his head secretly in his heart, and his eyes fell on Zhang Huan's body, he took Zhang Huan's famous disc, flipped it over casually and said, "It turns out that you are Zhang Shangshu's nephew." ”

Zhang Huan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Exactly!" ”

At this time, Cui Qinggong next to him couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since the two parties are here now, you can know who is taking the merit by asking, and why bother who is his nephew?" ”

"Congratulations!" Cui Yuan glared at him fiercely, turned around and smiled at Li Xian: "The minister sees that these two young people are all coming in with their heads held high, and their courage is extraordinary, it is better to let them narrate by themselves to show their merits, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Okay, which of you two will speak first?"

"I'll come first!" Cui Xiong stepped forward, he glanced at Zhang Huan contemptuously, as if he was not ashamed to be in the same column as this impostor, he arched his hand to the ministers of the main hall and said: "Under Cui Xiong, two months ago was the scout captain of the Fengxiang Army, on the tenth day of December, I was ordered by General Yan Tai to lead a hundred men to visit the Hui army camp in the area of Ma'anling, because the enemy army was well defended, I led the brothers to the ridge to observe, but accidentally found the Hui grain and grass behind the ridge, about 2,000 people guarded, I know that if the Hui lose grain and grass, Then their army would surely be defeated, so I went into the enemy camp by night and set fire to their grain and grass. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Xiong's mouth was vague, and he said: "At that time, the night was dark and the wind was high, and I used a rocket to ignite the hay pile, and I was able to complete it, and there is no lie!" ”

"Your Majesty! Ladies and Gentlemen! What my son says is true. ”

Cui Qinggong proudly raised the confession of the Hui people and a long sword that was burned and bent, and said loudly: "I have the confession of the Hui people here, as well as the sword left by my son at the scene, this is the evidence." ”

He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Huan coldly, and said disdainfully: "Reader! If you want to take the risk, you have to divide the occasion and the target, and sneak attack back to the camp of the people, I forgive you for not having the guts. ”

This time, Cui Yuan did not stop Cui Qinggong from coming out, let alone accusing him of being rude to the emperor, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep.

The voice of discussion in the hall was whispered at first, and with Cui Qinggong's evidence, the voice of discussion began to get louder and louder, even Pei Jun and Chu Xingshui couldn't hide the anxiety in their eyes, and looked at Wei Ge together, the time, place, and people and Cui Xiong have all been occupied, how should Zhang Huan turn over, does he still have evidence in his hands? If it were just red lips and white teeth, this battle for military merit would have been lost.

Zhang Huan smiled faintly, "I sneaked into the grain depot from the river to light the fire......"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Ang laughed and interrupted his narration, "Zhang Xian's nephew, people must be self-aware, if it's summer, you can say it from the water, but this is the cold winter of December, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”

"Wang Shangshu is delicate, so naturally he can't imagine the situation of going down to the river in December, but on the battlefield, don't talk about going down to the river, even going down to the sea of fire is a very normal thing."

Zhang Potian smiled and stood up for the court, he stepped forward and bowed deeply to Li and said, "Your Majesty! Because the minister was distracted, and he didn't hear what General Cui Xiao said, can Your Majesty allow the minister to ask him again? ”

At this time, except for Cui Yuan, all the ministers in the hall were extremely surprised, even shocked, Zhang Potian actually stood up for Zhang Huan, could it be that the two Zhang, who had been hostile to each other for ten years, reconciled again?

Li nodded meaningfully, expressing his agreement with Zhang Potian's request, Zhang Potian looked at Cui Yuan again, and said with a slight smile: "Xiangguo doesn't object!" ”

Cui Yuan touched his huge nose, and said with a smile: "Why did the Taishi say this, just ask!" ”

Zhang Potian slowly walked in front of Cui Xiong with his hands in his hand, and said with a smile: "Little general, I heard you say that you were just a scout captain two months ago, and you went to Maanling to visit the Hui army, and you only led a hundred subordinates, right?" ”

Cui Xiong straightened his strong neck, swallowed and salivaed: "Exactly!" ”

Zhang Potian nodded, and asked again: "You said that you used a rocket to ignite the grain stack, didn't you?" ”

"That's not right! It was the haystack that was lit first. Cui Xiong began to get a little nervous, and his voice trembled slightly.

Zhang Potian smiled slightly, "Then let's put the hay stack!" Well! I remember you saying that there were 2,000 guards in the grain depot, right? ”

Cui Xiong nodded, he looked at his father with some anxiety, Cui Qinggong gradually realized that something was wrong, he didn't take this matter to heart when he filed with the Ministry of War, so some details were not carefully scrutinized, and ordinary civil officials couldn't hear the flaws, but Zhang Potian was different, he was a veteran who had fought for decades, he understood!

But now he has no choice, he can only watch Zhang Potian ask his son, in fact, he also just learned that Zhang Huan dived in to burn the military rations, before that, the marching Sima who had inspected the field told him that it was impossible to go into the grain depot to burn military rations.

Cui Qinggong's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be thoughtful.

At this time, Zhang Potian glanced at Cui Xiong again silently, and suddenly asked, "Since there are more than a hundred of you, how did you avoid the patrol of the sentries?" ”

"We didn't see the sentinel!" Cui Xiong blurted out.

"Really? If you don't see the sentry, why do you use rockets? Wouldn't it be okay to just go in and burn the grain? ”

"Nope! No! I mean, the sentinels didn't spot me, I infiltrated the enemy camp alone, and the brothers were waiting outside! ”

Zhang Potian smiled faintly, "More than a hundred cavalry are waiting outside and are not discovered, these Hui soldiers guarding the grain depot really deserve to die." ”

"They're all miles away, and of course they won't be discovered!" Cui Xiong was a little anxious.

"And how did you escape? Don't tell me that after shooting the rocket, the Hui Sentinel hasn't noticed you, and then you take advantage of the chaos to leave? ”

At this time, Wei Ge on the side responded loudly: "That's right, the most taboo thing in the grain depot is fire, a fire suddenly appeared in a corner, even if the patrol guards are blind and don't see it, what about the guard tower?" Can't they see it too? Now that you've been discovered, can you still leave calmly? Don't say it's the brothers who answer, your brothers are miles away!"

Cui Xiong's face was swollen red, and he couldn't say a word, and Cui Yuan next to him finally couldn't help but play a round for him and said: "Both of them are leading soldiers, and they should know that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly and cannot be measured by imagination, so Cui Xiong just succeeded by luck, otherwise he would have died a long time ago." ”

"Xiangguo said it very well, it can't be imagined." Zhang Potian smiled and asked Cui Xiong again: "May I ask what kind of bow did General Cui Xiao use at that time?" ”

"This...."Cui Xiong didn't dare to answer casually, like a three-hundred-pound big hard bow he couldn't pull, after thinking about it, he still replied truthfully: "I use an ordinary bow of about 100 catties." ”

"Not bad! You're telling the truth. Zhang Potian took out a map from his arms, shook it open, and said: "At this time, the copy of the map I borrowed from the Ministry of War is the map of the Maanling Surprise Attack, which was drawn by Sima on the march at that time, and there is his signature on it. ”

He held the map high and said loudly to the ministers: "The map is clearly written, the fences of the grain depot are as high as four zhang, and the grain stacks are even more than 100 steps away from the fences. Besides, he said that it was the hay stacks that were shot, and the hay stacks were all in the second row, so they were blocked at all? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Potian asked Cui Xiong with a smile: "Tell me, how did you shoot two hundred steps away with a hundred-ten-pound bow, and shoot through the two-zhang thick grain stack with a rocket, igniting the forage stack behind?" ”
