Xue Shao simply told Xue Rengui about the war in the two states of Shuo Dynasty. There is no emotional color, no embellishment and exaggeration, and the tone is like a CCTV news broadcast.

Li Xiaoyi has heard it once, and he is still very fascinated, and a little dissatisfied, "Why don't you say it in more detail?" ”

Xue Shao said: "What has happened, just say the result." The key question now is, how do we deal with the current situation? -- With the fall of Yunzhou, there was a gap in the northern Xinjiang defense line. The main army of the Turks could march south at any time! ”

"That's right." After Xue Rengui listened, he was very calm, and even when he knew that Xue Chuyu was exhausted and fainted, he didn't show any emotional fluctuations, and only said: "Li Changshi, please send us a batch of grain and grass." The old man is willing to assist Young Marshal Xue and go to fight the Turks to recover Yunzhou! ”

"Assist?" Li Xiaoyi was slightly stunned.

"Old general, no." Xue Shao said seriously, "You are the justifiable commander of the Hebei army, Xue Shao's cross-border combat is out of line, how can you cross the border again?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xiaoyi said, "Old general, the Hebei military still has to fall on your old man. Don't shirk! ”

"It's not the old man's hypocrisy, pretending to excuse himself." Xue Rengui frowned and said, "Leaving Wu Chenghei here, the old man has a lot of constraints. If the fighter plane is delayed or suffered a crushing defeat because of this, it will be too late to regret it. Young Marshal Xue's status is special and he is not controlled by Wu Chenghe, if he can stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility at this time, it is the best. ”

When Xue Shao heard this, his words were reasonable. Xue Rengui is obviously not pretentious, and his "humility" is not out of officialdom and sincerity, but a wise move made in response to the actual situation.

"Having said that, but ......" Li Xiaoyi said with doubts on his face, "If Young Marshal Xue is not right, his words are not good, why do you order the Hebei army?" ”

"This is indeed a fatal problem." Xue Shao said, "It would be best if we could convince Wu Chengsi to agree to our military deployment." ”

Xue Rengui and Li Xiaoyi looked embarrassed and smiled wryly at the same time, and the implication was - is this possible?

Xue Shao blinked his eyes and hugged his fist at Li Xiaoyi, "Li Changshi, it is about the thousands of miles of land and millions of soldiers and civilians in Hebei, at this critical time, I hope you can help!" ”

"This ......" Li Xiaoyi is straight-eyed, if he dares to stand up to Wu Chengji and take responsibility, he will not compromise to this point. Xue Shao's request seemed to mean a bit of "pulling him into the water", and Li Xiaoyi hesitated.

"But if there is any chaos, Xue Shao will bear it. At that time, Li Changshi will not be implicated! Xue Shaoyi was stern and said, "Actually, Xue Shao has only one request, I hope that Li Changshi can allocate a batch of grain, grass and medicine to us." You don't have to worry about the rest! ”

Xue Rengui's eyelids were slightly closed and he was silent, slowly brushing his white beard. Although he was silent, Xue Shao keenly felt that Xue Rengui's aura was undergoing subtle changes - he was already very impatient with this Li Xiaoyi, who was not responsible, and even moved a trace of murder!

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, Xue Rengui was really a pure man with a flaming rectum, presumably he had had enough of Wu Chenghe's anger before, and he didn't want to endure it anymore!

Li Xiaoyi, a scribe, naturally did not have such a keen insight as Xue Shao, and he still blinked his eyes with embarrassment, making a contemplative and embarrassing appearance.

"Li Changshi!" Xue Rengui stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "I am the acting governor of the imperial court, and the general manager of the march of Yanran Dao. The military of the border towns of Shuodai are all under the jurisdiction of the old man. Li Changshi, as the governor of the state, is in charge of grain and grass transportation and logistics supply. Now that the three armies are short of food, Li Changshi can only allocate it -- why is there any trouble?! ”

The words "why come to worry", Xue Rengui said it angrily, it was like scolding his mother - the implication is nothing more than that, I take care of the war, you take care of the grain and grass, and the basket is your business? Worry!

When it came to this, Li Xiaoyi didn't agree anymore, it was clear that he was pulling Xue Shao and Xue Rengui's hind legs. So he said: "Don't be angry, Li gave you grain and grass, isn't it okay?" ”

"The military situation is like fire, and I also ask Li Changshi to do his best!" Xue Shao hugged his fists very earnestly.

"Okay, I'll arrange ......" Li Xiaoyi got up and walked out quickly.

Xue Rengui squinted at Li Xiaoyi's back, and snorted: "This person seems to be gentle and virtuous, but in fact, he is hypocritical and sophisticated, and he only knows how to protect himself, and he can't have deep friendships!" ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly and did not comment, but said: "The old general must have gone with me." ”

Xue Rengui's eyes lit up slightly, "What did the young marshal think of?" ”

"If Li Xiaoyi doesn't inform Wu Chenghei of the two of us forcibly asking for food and grass, then he won't be Li Xiaoyi." Xue Shao smiled.

"Haha! It's a coincidence! Xue Rengui laughed heartily, and fearlessly put the teacup on the table, "Then let him go!" - This time Wu Chengsi is here in person, and the old man is fighting for this white head, and he will definitely send troops to conquer it! ”

"Shao, I am willing to advance and retreat all the way with the old general!" Xue Shao bowed his hand, "Even if the sky falls, he will have to push out his two big holes!" ”

Xue Rengui twisted his silver beard with a smile on his face, and his half-closed eyes were slightly revealed. Although it is quiet, it still exudes a hint of excitement that is difficult to hide.

Li Xiaoyi was busy going to Zhang Luo to collect grain and grass, and said that it would take at least two days and one night to get ready. Xue Shao knew that he was deliberately delaying and waiting for Wu Chengsi to come back. But it's not broken, and there's nothing to be afraid of directly facing Wu Chenghe, it's better to talk about things!

The next day, Xue Rengui went outside the city to rectify the soldiers and horses, and invited Xue Shao to watch the battle together. Xue Shao happily went and saw many acquaintances in the army, all of whom were once Cheng Wuting's generals.

The army that Xue Rengui is leading now is based on the cavalry of the first army left by Cheng Wuting's former Northern Expedition. Generally speaking, it is not easy to change generals in the army, because the relationship between soldiers is quite deep, and it is difficult to accept a new commander in a short time. Just like the current Shuofang Army, no one can replace Xue Shao.

However, Cheng Wuting's army was transferred to Xue Rengui's hands very smoothly. There is no other reason, Xue Rengui is the supreme god of war recognized by the Tang Army, and Cheng Wuting himself admires Xue Rengui to the extreme of juniors and students, not to mention the generals under his command?

The cavalry under the command of Evil Lai was already outstanding, "like a fire of fire, unstoppable", this is the awe of the alien enemy who is good at cavalry warfare. Now that this army is in Xue Rengui's hands, it is still like a sword hidden deep in its sheath, and it has never drunk blood.

Xue Shao remembered that some people in history praised Xue Rengui - "If the army is shocked and the other is defeated, it is said that Rengui is a god", and this is from a very rigorous and strict official history.

The word "god" raised Xue Rengui's ability to lead the army into battle and charge into battle to a height that no one could reach.

Xue Shao was very curious about this, what kind of Cheng Cheng Xue Rengui's military talent has been?

For the next battle with Xue Rengui, Xue Shao is full of expectations!

In the evening, the grain and grass were successively transported to the army for delivery. Xue Shao and Xue Rengui stayed in the army all day, meeting with the generals and marching managers to discuss the next military deployment. Xue Shao, with the humble attitude of a junior, listened more and rarely spoke. In fact, Xue Rengui's military deployment was basically in line with what he thought in his heart - to ensure that Shuozhou was not lost, to use Daizhou as the base camp to counterattack the Turks, to attack and defend the enemy to the north of Bingzhou, and finally recover Yunzhou and drive away the enemy!

This time, the Turks almost raised an army to invade Hebei. Even the "small troops" sent to the siege of Shuodai and the two states for reinforcement totaled 100,000 horses. Coupled with the main force of Yunzhou, there are a total of 300,000 people in the three routes!

Now, Xue Rengui has only one soldier and horse in his hands, and the soldiers and horses in Xue Shao's hands are almost the same as him, and they are all tired divisions. The total strength of the two men was about 50,000. And the main Turkic army in Yunzhou still has at least 200,000 people, four times more than the Tang army!

In other words, the vast majority of people will think about how to defend first in this situation where they are outnumbered. Therefore, Xue Rengui's plan of "attacking instead of defending Yunzhou" can be regarded as a rather bold and bold strategy.

- This is very much Xue Shao's appetite!

Just when the two were intensively planning strategies and tactics, Li Xiaoyi sent a person to the barracks to spread the word, saying that Wu Chengsi had returned from Wenshui, and summoned Xue Rengui to the Governor's Mansion for questioning in the name of Qincha.

"Old man, don't bother to deal with him!" Xue Rengui's attitude was very tough, and he said to Xue Shao, "If you go to Bingzhou, maybe you will have to have some branches." The army is about to be marched out, and Hugh is wasting time! ”

Xue Shao said: "I accompanied the old general into the city to see Wu Chenghe." What should be faced will eventually be faced, if Wu Chengsi seizes the remaining grain and grass or makes trouble behind his back, the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Xue Rengui pondered for a moment, "It's okay!" - I don't dare to really do anything to the old man! ”

The two of them each brought their own guards and subordinates into Taiyuan City and came to the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

Just as he was about to enter the main hall, Xue Shao first saw a big acquaintance.

The two looked at each other, and the four eyes collided like swords, and the atmosphere around them was suffocated.

Li Xiantong!!

Xue Rengui looked at Xue Shao and Li Xiantong very curiously, and said that there must be a deep grudge between these two!

Without talking, Xue Shao walked past Li Xiantong and into the main hall. Li Xiantong stood at the door with his hands crossed and holding a knife, like a guard.

Xue Shao could see at a glance that he was wearing a newly made uniform with a thousand cow back, and he was holding a thousand cow imperial sword in his arms - this guy actually returned to Fengchenwei!

Xue Shao had long known that Li Xiantong had a close relationship with the Wu family's sons and nephews, and even his wife had an affair with Wu Yougui. Then it is not surprising that he was able to turn over with the relationship between the sons and nephews of the martial family. Looking at his current look, it is very likely that he is serving Wu Chengsi as the captain of the "Qincha Guard".

As soon as he walked into the main hall, Xue Shao was still thinking about Li Xiantong, when he suddenly heard a loud shout-

"Xue Rengui, you are so bold!!"
