Wang Xiaojie was arrested, and several guards accompanying him failed to escape, and were all arrested by Guo An and others.

This is obviously not a trivial matter, Guo An blocked the news as soon as possible, and even Yu Hongye, Xuan Yunzi and others were temporarily grounded. Then, he immediately reported the matter to Xue Shao.

Hearing the news, Xue Shao was speechless for a long time.

Guo An hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"You have not made a mistake in the performance of your duty, so what is the crime?" Xue Shao comforted Guo An, and then asked him to bring Wang Xiaojie to his study.

Wang Xiaojie, who was stunned, has already woken up, and the wine has also woken up, and he is still bound.

Xue Shao looked at him coldly, Wang Xiaojie turned his face away with anger, and looked at Xue Shao with inright eyes.

It was quiet for a long time, and neither of them said a word.

In the end, Wang Xiaojie couldn't help it, "Don't let me loose?" ”

"Why?" Xue Shao said coldly.

"What authority do you have to tie me down?" Wang Xiaojie said angrily, "Let me go back early, and today's matter will be over." In case my brothers know, sooner or later they will come to the door, and I will see how you parry! ”

"Then let them knock on the door and try it!"

Xue Shao was furious and took the case, "Wang Xiaojie, you are really arrogant and shameless!" Do you think that I, Xue, put up with you everywhere and let you, so I'm really afraid of you?! ”

Wang Xiaojie's anger did not subside, but he looked at Xue Shao with a stunned face, speechless for a while.

"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the current battle situation of the great enemy is important, and I care about the face of the old general Wang Fangyi, I would have cleaned you up like a ruffian!" Xue Shao didn't bother to save any face for Wang Xiaojie anymore, and roared angrily, "Do you think that the 50,000 troops of the Anxi Tiger Division are really your Wang Xiaojie's unchanging private property?" Do you believe that I, Xue someone, dare to let you, the commander of the three armies, go back to his hometown to pick up sheep dung day and night, and he doesn't even have three acres of thin land to cultivate?! ”

"You...... How dare you threaten and intimidate me like this!! Wang Xiaojie also roared, "If you have the ability, you can let me go back right now, and I will let you know in the morning and night that Wang Xiaojie, the Anxi Tiger Master, is powerful!" ”

"Boom!"

Xue Shaodouran pulled out his knife and quickly slashed down, Wang Xiaojie suddenly felt a white light flash in front of him, and his heart instinctively chilled-it's over!

As a result, Xue Shao cut the rope on his body with a knife and quickly returned the knife into the sheath, "Get out of here immediately, and the soldiers will come to fight with me!" ”

Wang Xiaojie was stunned and didn't move.

No matter how impulsive and confused he is, Wang Xiaojie is a person who has been a general for more than ten years after all. The most basic consciousness and bottom line are still there - is it possible that you can really raise troops and horses to fight with your own people because of one of your own drunken and ridiculous things? !

Xue Shao has a saying that hits the nail on the head, after all, the Anxi Tiger Division is not Wang Xiaojie's private property. Even if there were many of his diehards in this army, it was impossible for tens of thousands of people to blindly follow him without reservation when it came to matters of principle.

The scene froze for a moment, and the atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Xue Shao's momentum completely suppressed Wang Xiaojie, making it very difficult for him to ride a tiger.

After a while, Xue Shaohe eased his tone, "You came to me, do you have important military affairs?" ”

"Nope." Wang Xiaojie replied expressionlessly.

"Then you can go now."

Wang Xiaojie didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Xue Shao let out a long breath and sat down, speechless for a long time.

"Young marshal."

Guo An entered the room and reported: "Wang Xiaojie's subordinates shouted and scolded loudly before leaving, saying that they would call people back for revenge. ”

"It's just talking, you don't have to take it seriously." Xue Shao said lightly, "Restrain the brothers not to cause conflict again and let them go." ”

"Yes."

After dawn, the scout came to report that the whole army of the Anxi Tiger Division had set up camp and headed east.

Li Duozuo, these generals also heard a little bit about last night, some sighed, some disdainful, some were annoyed and angry, and so on.

"Young marshal, just because of such a trivial matter, Wang Xiaojie didn't go to Hebei to fight, slapped his ass and left?" Li Duozuo asked with some reluctance.

Xue Shao let out a long sigh, "That's it, let them go!" ”

Li Duozuo hated itchy, "This guy is really not a thing!" ”

"If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to stay here anymore." Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "You must have heard about the night event." This unexpected event seems to be occasional, but in fact it is inevitable, just a difference of time. It's okay if he's gone now, so that he can really start a fight, and he will give me a basket at a critical time. ”

"That's right." Li Duozuo nodded, "This Wang Xiaojie's temper and virtue are really stinky, who can bear it!" ”

Xue Shao sighed lightly, and said in his heart that Wang Xiaojie was indeed a rough man without cultivation, not to mention the city government, he simply couldn't hide anything in his heart. In fact, it can be said that he is stupid, but if he is any other person who is a little smarter, how can he take the initiative to erect a powerful enemy because of a woman who has already promised to marry? How can they abandon the affairs of the state because of a little personal grudge?

As long as he was willing, Xue Shao came up with more than ten ways to easily abolish Wang Xiaojie in a moment, and even slaughtered him.

In the past, Xue Shao, he would really do this. The current Xue Shao is of course very annoyed by Wang Xiaojie's rudeness and stupidity and wants to get rid of it quickly, but he thinks even more that even if Wang Xiaojie dies, he should be shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield. There are not many generals in the Tang Dynasty who can fight, how can I destroy him with my own hands?

Xue Shao would not say these words to Li Duozuo, and he didn't expect Wang Xiaojie to understand his hard work, he couldn't have such an ideological awareness. Therefore, if outsiders can understand, they will understand; can't understand it, Xue Shao can only hide it in his heart forever.

"General Li, you go and pack up the grain and grass and baggage, and we will leave for Hebei as soon as possible." Xue Shao gave Li Duozuo an order.

"Yes." Li Duozuo agreed to the promise, and said: "My subordinates, may I ask, which troops will be ordered to go on the expedition?" Who is the pioneer and who is the rear? Can the supply and logistics of the whole army be guaranteed? ”

Xue Shao had already made up his mind, so he said without hesitation: "Please personally lead Yulinwei as the vanguard, hand over the soldiers under your command to me, and I will combine them with the men and horses under my command and make them the Chinese army, which I personally command." Duan Feng led the men and horses of the headquarters as the rear army, escorting grain and grass baggage. The logistics supply of the whole army will be guaranteed by Guo Yuanzhen of the Yinchuan Military Fort. The rear of Lingxia Erzhou was handed over to Liu Youqiu and Di Renjie. ”

Earlier, Xue Shao had expressed his stance that he was ready to let the fierce generals under Wang Xiaojie lead the elite of the Tiger Division to act as the vanguard. Now that Li Duozuo heard that Xue Shao wanted to make himself a pioneer and the overall situation had been properly planned, he smiled and was relieved, and hugged his fists heavily, "Don't worry, young marshal, your subordinates will definitely live up to the name of the pioneer!" ”

"Brother Li is in charge, of course I'm relieved." Xue Shao said with a smile, "Immediately select soldiers and horses to pack up the baggage, and we will set off as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Duozuo left happily, Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down quietly.

The big war is coming, and he works very hard to keep himself calm enough

Because the enemy he will face next is the real enemy that Xue Shao regards as the real enemy in his heart, Ashina Gulu and Ashid Yuanzhen. and the full strength of the entire Turkic Khanate under his command.

Looking at the cards in his hand again, Xue Shao couldn't help but want to smile bitterly - the 50,000 army of the Anxi Tiger Division could no longer be counted on, could I still compete with Gu Lulu and Yuan Zhen now?!

Now under Xue Shao's command, there are forty or fifty thousand horses, but this is just a veritable "miscellaneous united army". Li Duozuo brought more than half of the men and horses, but the only one who could really play a major role on the battlefield was the three thousand Lin Wei. The rest of the improvised government soldiers, they should go to farming and threshing, that is their old job.

There are still two elite troops under his command, the Jumping Army and the Tuan Cavalry, but they have now been dispatched. The rest of the men and horses were composed of Lingxia Defeated Soldiers and Helong Volunteers. They may be brave, but they are badly untrained, have no understanding with each other, and many even don't even know what war is. If there is a real fight, many of them will pee their pants on the spot.

As a commander, Xue Shao now knew that such a unit under his command would have an extremely high casualty rate in battle. If it's a tailwind fight, it's a little better, the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they may really be able to play a majestic game. But if they encounter setbacks and failures, they can easily lose their armor and collapse.

The battlefield is a ruthless meat grinder, and the most ruthless ones are such a type of people.

However, from the moment he stepped out of Luoyang, Xue Shao had no room to retreat. Now, he can only stride forward. Even if you know it, there is a high probability that there is a grave of 10,000 people that has been dug up in front of you.

Late at night.

The moon slave fell asleep, but Xue Shao had a little insomnia tossing and turning. He simply walked out of bed and walked outside the room for a walk, saving the noise so that the moon slave could not sleep well.

It's late autumn, and the night is really dark and windy, and the stars and moon are gone. In the courtyard, there was a torch on duty, and it was silent.

Xue Shao sat down alone in the courtyard and couldn't help but look into the depths of the back house.

That's where Xuanyunzi lives. There was a glimmer of candlelight on the window paper, and she was clearly not asleep yet.

Xue Shao was about to walk over to take a look, when Xuan Yunzi pushed open the door and walked out.

Both walked towards each other.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" They asked each other almost in unison.

Xue Shao smiled, "I'm about to go on the expedition, and I'm thinking about some more things in my heart, so I'm a little insomnia." ”

"Are you going on another expedition?" Xuan Yunzi asked softly, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

"The day after tomorrow."

Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly, "This is a military secret." ”

"Aren't you my scribe?" Xue Shao said with a smile.

Xuan Yunzi's eyebrows were inexplicably frightened, and his heart was suddenly blocked.

The ugly words that Wang Xiaojie scolded seemed to ring in his ears again.

"What's wrong with you?" Xue Shao asked.

"It's fine." Xuan Yunzi smiled faintly and said, "I just have something to tell you." ”

"Then sit down and talk!"

The two sat in the courtyard, and Xuan Yunzi said straight to the point: "I want to ask you for my resignation." ”

Xue Shao blinked his eyes in surprise, and then nodded, "It's okay to go back." Just in time to do me a favor, please help me bring the moon slave back with me. I can't convince Yu Hongye, she has to stay in Helong to rebuild her chamber of commerce and business. ”

"I'm sorry, I probably can't help you." Xuan Yunzi said lightly, "I won't go back to the capital." ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, "Then where are you going?" ”

"Don't forget, I'm a cultivator." Xuan Yunzi smiled and said, "Traveling all over the world as my home is my heart. ”

"......" Xue Shao was speechless for a while, so he nodded with a wry smile, and said in his heart: It is better to travel than to follow me to fight and kill in the south and the north!

But in the next second, a strange feeling appeared in Xue Shao's heart: Didn't I always want her to leave? Why did I feel a ...... when it really came to this moment? What about the inexplicable loss?
