Xuan Yunzi read out the decree in front of the generals, and Xue Shao finally had the authority to command all the troops under his command.

But Xue Shao has always been very clear in his heart that as a general, the power in his hands is not just derived from the "military power". Take Xuan Yunzi's words as an example, when Xue Shao was in the capital, he threw the purple gold fish talisman everywhere, and when he arrived in Helong, he didn't take the holy decree seriously at all. Therefore, in the final analysis, military power, like all power, is rooted in the hearts of the people.

Xue Shao has a high prestige in the army, but this range has certain limitations. Take the current "mixed army" under his command as an example, the 20,000 people brought by Li Duozuo are very unfamiliar to Xue Shao, let alone have no feelings and convincing. They have Yu Linwei as the core subject, and Yu Linwei is essentially a pro-honor unit subordinate to the royal family. Except for the royal family (to be precise, Wu Zetian), none of them will buy their accounts. Li Duozuo is the commander of Yulinwei, but he can't go against the will of most of his subordinates and insist on going his own way, otherwise he will only be isolated or even expelled.

Therefore, no matter how close and convinced Li Duozuo himself was to Xue Shao, he could not change the essence of this 20,000-strong army. They left the capital and traveled thousands of miles to Helong to help in the war, and they already had a self-feeling of being wronged by "overkill". Now Xue Shao let them mix with the ragtag army under his command, which is even more unhappy.

Therefore, Li Duozuo's frequent requests for war were actually out of a kind of helplessness, and that was because his generals were already impatient. Although Xue Shao temporarily suppressed them with the Holy Decree, he knew very well in his heart that if he continued like this, it was very likely that some internal contradictions would be stimulated. Xue Shao also thought about letting Li Duozuo go back first, and now he has nearly 20,000 horses under his command. But Li Duozuo came with a group of brothers thousands of miles away, and this trip was not accomplished, and it was not so easy to explain after going back. If you do this, it will inevitably be a little unkind, and it will even hurt the feelings of brothers.

Another point, Xue Shao guessed that the reason why Wu Zetian sent Yulin Wei to Helong to help in the battle was probably to prevent himself from being arrogant and even separating himself from being king.

In other words, Yu Linwei is both here to help in the war and to monitor. If Xue Shao drove Yu Linwei back in advance, he would be very suspicious of "being a thief".

Therefore, the current army is really not easy to lead. Xue Shao felt some trouble.

Late at night, the cold wind was blowing, which made the soldiers in the Yinchuan military fort feel the chill of autumn.

Xue Shao sat alone with candles, reading and commenting on some important military documents overnight. Without a scribe like Wang Yu as a helper, Liu Youqiu and Su Wei were still on their way to Yinchuan, and these clerical work could only be done by Xue Shao himself.

After days of fighting and being injured, Xue Shao felt unprecedented fatigue in the school field during the day and in the study room at night. He really wanted to lie on the table and fall asleep like this, but many of them had to be handed over to his subordinates early in the morning, and there was no delay at all.

Xue Shao had no choice but to fight the hard work of the spirit.

The door was gently pushed open, and a man walked in with a lantern, with light steps.

Xue Shao was engrossed in his desk reading, and his eyelids didn't move.

With a soft clang, a beautiful white porcelain cup was placed on Xue Shao's left hand, and then the old tea that had cooled was removed.

Xue Shao took it for granted that it was another part that came in to change the tea, so he didn't even take a second look. He paused for a moment, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, his mouth fragrant with a medicinal fragrance.

"Huh?" He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he looked up at the person next to him, "Xuanyunzi? When did you come. ”

"Just now." Xuan Yunzi stood by the bookcase and said with a smile, "You are too focused, I didn't dare to disturb you." ”

"What kind of chicken soup is this?" Xue Shao smacked his lips, "It tastes a little strange, but it's quite delicious." ”

"Where will there be chickens in the fort?" Xuan Yunzi smiled, "It's a pigeon." The carrier pigeon of the Momiji Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Huh?" Xue Shao was stunned, "What a good pigeon, it has made a great contribution, it's a pity to eat it!" ”

"It's not a pity to let Xue Shaoshuai make up for it." Xuan Yunzi said, "You need to rest. If you keep going like this, you'll be exhausted. ”

"Not really." Xue Shao smiled, and when he saw that Xuan Yunzi was still standing, he said, "Please sit down!" ”

Xuan Yunzi naturally sat down in front of Xue Shao, pushed the soup cup in front of Xue Shao slightly, signaled him to drink it while it was hot, and then started to help him clean up the messy table full of files and military documents.

Her small gesture made Xue Shao feel very pleased. I'm so busy and tired right now, it's nice to have someone to help. Naturally, Xue Shao pondered in his heart: Xuan Yunzi is a "very level" person, let her help me take a look at these files and military documents, and it should be no problem to help me summarize and sort them out appropriately!

So Xue Shao unceremoniously picked out a piece of file and threw it in front of Xuan Yunzi, "Help me take a look, if it is a very urgent and important matter, it will be sorted out and put on my right hand." Anyway, I'll deal with it when I'm free. ”

"Okay." Xuan Yunzi answered, and immediately began to flip through the file.

Xue Shao glanced at her, smiled secretly, picked up the soup cup and drank the medicinal pigeon soup, and then continued to approve the military documents.

After about an hour, the morning light was already showing on the horizon, and Xue Shao finally finished approving the most urgent batch of military documents in his hand. When he was about to stretch, he was stunned to find that there was actually a person in front of him, and suddenly he was stunned, and then he saw a neat stack of military documents stacked on the right side.

Xuan Yunzi was obviously aware of Xue Shao's "neglect" of him, but she didn't care, she just said indifferently, "There are some military affairs that I think are more urgent, and they are all placed on your right hand." I also tried to write down the reply with a piece of paper that you can read. ”

"You still gave a reply?" Xue Shao, who was originally very sleepy, cheered up a little more because of curiosity, so he immediately opened those files to read.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, he was shocked when he saw Xue Shao. Because, these military documents picked out by Xuan Yunzi are indeed very urgent and important things. What's even more amazing is that almost all of her approvals coincide with the response she will make!

This...... It's just fantastic!

Xue Shao's eyes widened and he looked at Xuan Yunzi with incredible eyes.

"It's not right for me to do that, is it?" Xuan Yunzi was still a little ashamed, "I'll just try it at will, you just ignore it." ”

Xue Shao threw the file aside noncommittally, and casually pointed at the mountain of files next to the table, "There is still a pile there, you can also help me take a look at it by the way." I'm tired, so I'm going to take a nap first. ”

"Good!" Xuan Yunzi's voice deserved to be a little excited.

Xue Shao yawned profusely, as if he had nothing to do and walked out of the study.

Xuanyunzi was busy with his hands and feet. Although she didn't sleep all night, she didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, but was full of energy.

Xue Shao walked out of the study, deliberately made a small detour and passed by the window, and saw Xuan Yunzi there engrossed in flipping through the files.

That perfect side face with a focused look made Xue Shao couldn't help but look at it for a moment. But looking at it, Xue Shao felt a little unrecognizable in a trance - is this still the ethereal like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, Xuanyunzi of Zhongnan Mountain?

"Sleep for a while, refresh your spirits!" Xue Shao, who was busy with everything, was reluctant to be too distracted by this kind of thing at the moment.

After sleeping for about an hour or two, Xue Shao was woken up by Guo An.

"The young marshal forgives his sins, it is really a very important thing." Guo An handed over a military document as he spoke.

Xue Shao rubbed his eyes and sat up, picked up the military text in a daze, and looked at it in a daze, his eyes widened, and he almost sat up from the bed without sleepiness on the spot.

"When did you get the message?!" Xue Shao asked in surprise.

"It should have been received for a day or two." Guo An said, "Recently, there have been a lot of complicated military documents, and such an important military document has somehow been mixed with a bunch of military documents, and Xuan Yunzi just found out about it and sent it all the way." ”

"Where's she?"

"It's right outside."

Xue Shao took a deep breath, "Please let her in." ”

Guo An hesitated for a moment, "Young marshal, please change your clothes first." ”

"I'm in a daze!" Xue Shao smiled bitterly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You go and inform Cheng Boxian, Li Duozuo, Xue Chuyu, and Guo Yuanzhen, these four people, immediately come to my study to discuss important military information!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Xue Shao got dressed and Xuan Yunzi entered the room.

"I want to thank you all the time." Xue Shao said seriously, "If it weren't for you to carefully find out this important military document, I would have missed a big thing." ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled faintly and said, "You should have called two book envoys to help you sort out these copywritings." ”

"In the Yinchuan Military Fort, there are only heroes who kill people and drink blood, and there are no scholars who dance and write. Li Duozuo brought a few book envoys, but I didn't need to take advantage of Yu Linwei's people. Xue Shao smiled bitterly twice and said, "Liu Youqiu and Su Wei are coming, but it will definitely take a few days to arrive." ”

"If you don't dislike it, I can help you for a few days temporarily." Xuan Yunzi's voice was quite calm.

Xue Shao hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then thank you." ”

Xuan Yunzi didn't have any expression, but a strange look bloomed in his eyes, "I'll do things first." ”

"Okay." Xue Shao said casually, and immediately said, "You still, sleep for a while." ”

"No, I don't. I'm not sleepy at all. Xuan Yunzi smiled, turned around and left.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the sun really came out in the west, and Xuan Yunzi could smile so charmingly!

A moment later, the four generals all arrived at Xue Shao's study. Xue Shao strode in with a copy of the military document and threw it on the table, "Brothers, take a look for yourself." ”

Guo Yuanzhen was the first to pick it up, took it apart, and exclaimed on the spot: "Something is wrong!" ”

"What?" The remaining three generals asked.

Guo Yuanzhen's eyes widened, "The Anxi Tiger Division has arrived in Lingzhou and is attacking the city. Xiazhou Governor Wei waited for the price to go to the battlefield in person, and was killed in the city with several arrows in his body! ”
