In 888, in the Lingzhou Jiedu Embassy, Han Zun, who had been bedridden for a long time, convened an emergency meeting of the senior generals of the Lingwu Army.

"Marshal, this is the latest information from the sentinels." The information of the Lingwu Army scout team was sent to Han Zun.

"Father, Li Xuanqing has occupied Dingyuan City, and the vanguard is sweeping Dengkou County, Yangma City and Mingsha County in Lingzhou in Dingyuan City, and the party member Tuoba Siji was expelled from Dingyuan City, with more than 20,000 people, except for being captured, only more than 2,000 people escaped. Now I have arrived in my Lingzhou City and asked for refuge. Han Xun reported on the sidelines. In fact, if Li Xuanqing did not implement the plan to go west, Han Xun's life would still be good, during this time, his father Han Zun vigorously attacked those generals in the army, and installed the Jiedu envoys, and he gradually controlled the military power of the Lingwu Army, and more than half of the generals who came to the meeting today were his people, and they were also recently installed in the Lingwu Army.

"Bastard, this little beast is not thinking about reciprocating the great favor of my Lingwu Army, but he leads troops to attack my Lingzhou, this kind of ungrateful guy who eats inside and out, he must be caught by me, I have to cut him with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in my heart." Han Zun's anger, which had finally calmed down, was inexplicably ignited, and he slapped the case next to him and roared angrily.

It's just that he was so angry that he began to cough violently after not saying a few words, and the meeting almost couldn't go on. Han Xun hurriedly stepped forward and brought a pillow for Han Zun, let him lie down, and it took a while for him to come to his senses.

"Marshal, how should our Lingwu Army act for the sake of today? Should it be armed for an attack, or should it be deployed along Huanzhou to the north of Mingsha County? Qifu Mountain has been occupied by Li Xuanqing, and our army should immediately set a strategy. After another half an hour, one of the generals who came to the assembly couldn't help it and went out to ask.

"Xue Wanli, don't you look at what time it is, Dashuai is seriously ill, you still come to ask this? Isn't it okay to go out and say no? Didn't you see that the young marshal's face was dark? Before he could finish speaking, someone next to him came out to stop him.

"Everyone follow me to the study, and we'll discuss." Han Xun naturally heard Xue Wanli's words, but Han Zun couldn't do anything about it now. He asked his old father to come out and show up, that is, to tell everyone that the affairs of Lingzhou have now been handed over to him to be in charge, and it is just a formality.

Sure enough, when I arrived at Han Xun's study outside, I only heard him say: "The marshal is seriously ill, and I entrust the military and political affairs of Lingzhou with full power." Xun hereby hopes that everyone will unite to help my Lingzhou defeat this rebellion. ”

"Young marshal, I think we should immediately notify Huaiyuan and Baojing garrisons to strictly defend and prevent Li Xuanqing from taking advantage of the opportunity, and also inform the defenders of Huanzhou that if they really can't hold it, they should retreat to Baojing and Huaiyuan, stick to it and wait for help, and stabilize the situation ahead in advance." Xue Wanli reported.

"It's not proper, General Xue is growing the morale of others and destroying his own prestige. When encountering the enemy, he retreats without a fight, which is to raise the enemy. The young marshal, the last general thought that he should do his best to fight the main force of the Lingwu Army and fight to the death with Li Xuanqing in Huanzhou. As soon as Xue Wanli finished speaking, a young general next to him immediately retorted: "General Xue shouldn't be merciful because of Li Xuanqing or a member of our Lingwu Army." ”

Xue Wanli was furious when he heard this, and was about to say a counterattack when he was interrupted by Han Xun, "Han Qi, don't talk nonsense, General Xue has no qualifications for the enemy, and the general understands that it is the current enemy of the great enemy, don't mess up internally." I have made up my mind, defend Huanzhou, the whole army of Lingwu set off, went to the front line, completely defeated Li Xuanqing, subdued Hetao, and captured Fengzhou. Han Xun stood in front of the generals and was full of spirit. This is his plan, not only to defeat Li Xuanqing, but also to recover Fengzhou in one fell swoop, and to recover all the territories of Shuofang Jiedu.

"Han Qi, Han Meng and Hu Liecheng listened to the order, and immediately led the headquarters to Huanzhou, and when they saw Li Xuanqing, the striker called me back first, so as to attack instead defend and stabilize the situation. The other generals immediately prepared for the expedition and waited for the dispatch to set off. Han Xun didn't give the others a chance to speak, and ordered directly.

Xue Wanli and several generals around him glanced at each other, with a trace of helplessness in their eyes, and retreated wordlessly.

"Commander, the Dark Night Plan has been arranged, just wait for the Commander's decision." In a Jiaokui inn in Lingzhou City, Hu Xiaosi was sitting there, and next to him stood a man dressed in the uniform of a Lingwu soldier.

"Okay, let's start starting. After explaining, the lord of Lingzhou City is determined to win, let the brothers work harder, if you want to be promoted, it depends on this time. Hu Xiaosi's eyes were shocked, and he said categorically: "You are all my friends Hu Xiaosi was in Lingzhou before, Fa Xiao. Whether I, Hu Xiaosi, can grow a face in front of the lord, it depends on you. ”

With Hu Xiaosi's words, the storm in Lingzhou City suddenly blew, and countless Xuanying Guards began to arrange one link after another according to the instructions conveyed urgently, and when these links were all arranged, Lingzhou City also quietly began to write new chapters.

Yongfeng Dingyuan front. Li Xuanqing and the personnel of the General Staff also followed the 3rd Battalion to the front. Since the main force of the cavalry of the first battalion had all been dispatched to pursue the stragglers of the party, the infantry brigade and the second battalion that had arrived in advance had also confronted the Lingwu army on the front line of Huanzhou, and the base camp of Dingyuan City was only supported by a garrison of less than 2,000 people and a transport team from the logistics department. The arrival of the 3rd Battalion filled the void and brought tensions on the Western Front to a close.

"Zhang Quanfu, Sanfeng County will be handed over to you." Li Xuanqing told Zhang Quanfu, who was about to go to Sanfeng County to take office, in the big tent: "Within five years, I don't ask you to make any achievements in industry and commerce, you just need to do one thing well." Li Xuanqing didn't pay attention to Zhang Quanfu's puzzled eyes, just looked at the west, and his cold voice revealed endless vicissitudes, "Afforestation on the west and north banks of Shenze, establish a green belt fifty miles wide, stop the eastward movement of Ulan Bu and the desert, and protect Tu Shenze." ”

Zhang Quanfu was arranged by Cen Tianshi to serve as the county commander in Linhe County after the surrender of Chengcheng in the west, and was temporarily transferred at the beginning of this westward expansion plan. At first, I didn't understand, although the Linhe County where I was located was not in the front, but it was also decent, and I suddenly received a notice to transfer to the county order of Sanfeng County, although the position has not changed, but Sanfeng County has almost been abandoned at this time, if it were not for the two new state farms in Fengzhou at the end of last year concentrated near Tu Shenze, the western boundary of Sanfeng County has been drawn to the entire west bank of Tu Shenze, it is estimated that this county is completely abandoned.

But at this time, Li Xuanqing's words made him think about another kind of thing, so he hesitated a little: "Does the lord mean to let the ministers focus on desert governance?" ”

Li Xuanqing nodded and said: "I have read your resume in the West Surrender City, the political strategy and military strategy are very ordinary, but there is one thing that you have done very well, you can reasonably arrange the proportion of farmland and grassland in the West Surrender City, and you have also thought of a lot of ways to deal with the expansion of the desert in the northwest, right?" ”

Zhang Quanfu didn't expect Li Xuanqing to look at his resume, but he was also a little emotionally moved by Li Xuanqing's words, "What the lord said is that I am a native of the northwest, and I know that the development of the northwest is first and foremost about controlling the desert, discovering water sources, and planting trees and grass." ”

"Very good, go and block the desert in the northwest of Tushenze and sum up the experience. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is preparing to add a new Department of Water Resources and Environmental Protection, and I am waiting for you. Li Xuanqing smiled, nodded with satisfaction with this decent subordinate, and said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, after five years, if Quanfu can't complete the task, I am willing to come and see you." Zhang Quanfu solemnly hugged his fist and bowed to the end.

"Go to work, I will ask the General Staff to notify the nearby garrisons to fully assist you in your work, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will also send you additional personnel in the future." Li Xuanqing smiled slightly. When he came to the northwest in this life, he naturally couldn't let Tu Shenze become a regret, and the clear water he saw on the road would stay in the northwest forever.

In the recruit camp outside Lingzhou City, in the cold wind, the recruits began to urgently assemble and replenish the Lingwu Army, so that the veterans who were originally responsible for training suddenly had no soldiers to train. So they went in and out of Lingzhou in twos and threes and started their vacations.

"Old man Zhang, why don't you go to the city to have a look?" It's a sunny day, and the quiet scenery of the boot camp is ruined by this voice.

This old man Zhang is Zhang Tianhu, who is lying on a felt blanket basking in the sun at this time, and he doesn't pay attention to Ma Laosan who walks beside him, this new barracks or this Lingzhou dare to call him Old Man Zhang There is only this old guy who doesn't have to think about it. I saw him lazily glance at Ma Laosan beside him, and said with a smile: "What am I doing in the city?" I don't know if the young marshal did it for me. Besides, why don't you go? I heard Wan Yi say, someone invited you to tea a few days ago. ”

"That is, I am better than you these days, not only have people invited me to tea, but some people have invited me to drink." Ma Laosan pushed Zhang Tianhu aside, found a place to sit down, and said with a happy smile: "The boys in the third team heard that I taught a good apprentice, so they chased me whenever they were free, and invited me to dinner, which caused me to make several mistakes." ”

"You, the older you get, the more you get older, I really don't know what you think." Zhang Tianhu's words seemed to be about to say something, but his expression was still lazy.

"The weather has been bad lately, and it's time for the boot camp to move around." Ma Laosan said lightly, not caring about the few pairs of eyes that appeared around at some time.

Zhang Tianhu's face was stunned when he heard this, this is the first time that his old fellow has said such things, is it not even optimistic about Lingwu Jun? After being silent for a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh, "The world is unpredictable, are we all old?" ”

"Do you think you are still Zhang Tianhu ten or twenty years ago? In this world, after all, it belongs to those juniors. Ma Laosan didn't have as many scruples as Zhang Tianhu, and after sneering, he suddenly whispered: "I have already asked Wan Yi to prepare." It's time for you to make a decision, let Su Yang and them move. I've heard that Anthy's descendants have been taken over. ”

"What's the hurry, isn't it time yet? Besides, I'm not the same as you, an old thing, we're above board, and if people don't offend me, I won't offend people. I don't need you to remind you to do it. Zhang Tianhu muttered a few times and then suddenly laughed: "Last time, he called me a teacher, and I am better than you just because of this." ”

"Why are you better than me? If it weren't for my discernment, with your unobtrusive temper, people would have scared you away a long time ago. ”

......

Lingzhou Jiedu Embassy, facing the report of the secret agent, Han Xun's face became extremely ugly, after being silent for a long time, he waved his hand to send away the secret agent, and wandered alone in the courtyard for a long time, suddenly his face was full of hideousness, and after snorting coldly, he invited his henchmen to secretly order a few words, and began to find his father, Han Zun, the envoy of Lingzhou Jiedu.

Originally, Han Zun had already fallen asleep, but when he heard that his son was still looking for him so late, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and after struggling to get up, he let Han Xun in.

After a while, Han Zun's face also became heavy, and for the first time he realized that the development of things had slid in an unpredictable direction. However, compared to Han Xun, he was much older, and he just pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "Have you already sent troops to the front line?" ”

Han Xun nodded, and when he saw his father's solemn expression, he hurriedly said, "The children sent are all descendant troops, and there will be no problems." ”

Han Zun's expression was noncommittal, and when he suddenly saw his son's expression, he suddenly seemed to see the shadow of his youth from his son. Back then, he was able to be a low-level military general to achieve today's town, if he didn't have the courage and enthusiasm, how could he succeed. Thinking of this, his face softened, and he motioned for his son to sit beside him, and said, "Father is old, this world belongs to you young people after all." Xun'er, do a good job, don't let your father down. Since those two old monsters have chosen him, you go and defeat him and fight for your father. ”

Han Xun didn't quite understand what his father said, but it didn't hinder his thoughts at the moment. His father finally gave himself all the power, since this is the case, what else is there to say, defeat Li Xuanqing.

"You go to the front line and take charge of the war, and I'll take care of the rest. When you are old, it is time to think about your children. Don't worry, I'm here to see you two old monsters off. Don't blame me for being ruthless, parents all over the world are for their children. Don't worry, after sending you off, it's time for me to come too. Han Zun didn't care about his son's expression when he heard his words, he was just muttering to himself.

And the last wind and clouds in Lingzhou City are also destined to be frozen at this moment. The competition between the parties has finally surfaced.
