Hearing Xuan Yunzi's words, if it was a teenager in his previous life, Xue Shao might have thought about it. But after experiencing so many lives and deaths in his past and present lives, Xue Shao's first reaction was to smile lightly at the corner of his mouth.

- Do you act in idol dramas?

Xuan Yunzi just smiled. Both of them tacitly and selectively ignored the seemingly heavy question.

"After returning from Hebei, what are the plans of the horse?" Xuan Yunzi diverted the topic and asked.

Xue Shao said: "Are you asking about business or private matters?" ”

"It's just small talk, it's both." Xuan Yunzi replied.

Xue Shao stared up at the starless night sky, let out a long sigh of lightness, and said, "I really want to spend more time with my family." However, I was a little relieved in the northwest. ”

"After you left, Shuo Fang was leaderless, and Li Duozuo and Tang Xiujing were transferred away one after another, which is indeed worrying." Xuan Yunzi said lightly.

Obedient and listening, Xuan Yunzi had just come over from Shuofang, and Xue Shao's heart immediately tightened, "Do you have something to tell me?" ”

Xuan Yunzi twisted his eyebrows slightly and was silent.

Xue Shao knew her concerns, and to Shuo Fangjun, Xuan Yunzi was just an outsider who was not touched. If an outsider wants to point fingers and poke at other people's family affairs, it depends on whether she has the qualifications to do so.

"Fairy Gu, I treat you as a best friend who can talk about everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to talk about the wine so late at night. Xue Shao said, "There are some things that even people like Li Xianyuan don't dare to say to me." Because, no one wants to sue their colleagues behind their backs, and this kind of thing is the most despicable in the army. So he's hiding something from me now, and I have no reason to blame him. But you are different, you are not from the Shuo Fang Army. You can tell me the truth about some things that I should know from a neutral standpoint. Now, no matter what you say, if you go out of your mouth and into my ears, no third person will know. Moreover, I will be grateful to you - Moon Slave, you step back first. ”

The moon slave left quietly, but not far, and stayed as a guard.

Xuan Yunzi's expression fell silent, and Xue Shao waited patiently for her to speak.

"As we all know, the Shuofang Army originally had twelve generals and four army commanders." Xuan Yunzi finally spoke, and said eloquently: "The four army commanders are headed by you, and then there are Xue Chuyu, Guo Yuanzhen and Li Duozuo - donkey, have you found a problem in this?" ”

Xue Shao frowned, "What's the problem?" ”

"The four military commanders led by you, one is younger than the other." Xuan Yunzi said, "And the twelve generals of the deputy Zuo, except for Zhang Renyuan, who is a young junior, Tang Xiujing is a new Confucian general who has thrown a pen from Rong, and the others are all veteran generals with deep qualifications. ”

Xue Shao nodded, "You're right. Among the twelve generals, there are ten veterans, and they are either Pei Gong's colleague Pao Ze, or the old generals of the Anxi Tiger Division who once followed Wang Fangyi. ”

"Then did Xue Suma ever think that after you left, who would be able to suppress Shuo Fang?" Xuan Yunzi said.

Xue Shao's heart sank slightly, and he suddenly fell into deep thought.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. The question was raised by Xuan Yunzi, an outsider, and Xue Shao suddenly woke up.

It stands to reason that whether it is officialdom or the military, they all pay attention to respecting teachers or ranking seniority, and generally speaking, the old leads the new. Xuan Yunzi was right, the personnel structure of the entire Shuofang Army was actually very strange. The youngest, Xue Shao and the other four made up the top of the army.

Xue Shao himself has a special identity (he is both a royal concubine and Pei Xingjian's protégé), and he has indeed won a few beautiful victories and won the support of the generals, so when Xue Shao himself is in the Shuofang Army, some contradictions and problems are not so obvious. But once Xue Shao left the Shuofang Army, none of the remaining people could play the role of Xue Shao, and instead became the real leader of the Shuofang Army.

In Xuan Yunzi's words, that is-who can still control Shuo Fang?

Datang's army is not anywhere else, and Xue Shaoke has seen everything after being in Rong for so long. The men in the army are all strong and brave, and they have a fiery temper. Not only do they dare to pin their heads to their waists and fight with the enemy, but they will also fight with their own people without saying a word, and even draw their swords against each other. Especially in peaceful days when there is no war, it is not uncommon to fight in the nest.

Spotless and absolutely pure, there will be no such thing.

"No one is perfect, not to mention that few of the generals under my command have been educated in poetry and books, and none of them are good-tempered." Xue Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Just say it, they are fighting inward, what is the point of fighting?" ”

Xuan Yunzi hesitated for a moment, then sighed lightly and said, "Tang Xiujing was transferred to Ulzhou, and Li Duozuo returned to Beijing to take up his post. Isn't that enough? ”

"How can it be!" Xue Shao suddenly slapped the table with a slap.

Xuan Yunzi whispered: "The old general of the Anxi Tiger Division, Ashina Zhongjie, Dugu Zhizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi have become friends and friends, and the three of them are respectively responsible for the grain and grass transfer of the Fengzhou garrison and the treasury revenue and expenditure of the Yinchuan military tun. Once, when Ashina Zhongjie was late for food delivery, Li Duozuo was furious and wanted to cure Ashina Zhongjie's sin. Ashina Zhongjie refused to accept the resistance, and Dugu Zhizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi jointly sought protection, and the matter finally calmed down. But the bond between them was thus concluded. At the same time, a group of veterans such as Liu Xuanyi and Pei Siliang began to covet the fat shortage errand of the Yinchuan Military Tun in the hands of Dugu Zhizhi and others, and began to put pressure on Tang Xiujing, who was in charge of military logistics and internal affairs, to be transferred to another post. Tang Xiujing didn't allow it, and the veterans began to oppose him everywhere......"

"Don't talk about it, it's all some!" Xue Shao snorted and scolded in a deep voice: "There is no fighting, these bastards are catching and biting like women." It's a shame to be seen, and I'm angry! ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled but did not speak.

Xue Shao became more and more depressed, "Are you rejoicing in disaster?" ”

"Nope." Xuan Yunzi said lightly, "Xue Yuma, if you think about some things from their point of view, you won't be so angry. ”

Xue Shao blinked, "What do you say?" ”

"You are a noble and wealthy relative of the royal family, and you have always had no worries about food and clothing. In addition, you are from a famous family and have been educated in poetry and books, and your moral ambition is also outstanding. Xuan Yunzi said, "But those generals under your command, they are just a group of laymen compared to you. If you are a layman, you will be running for life, you will love wine and wealth, and pursue promotion and wealth. ”

"Actually, I'm also a layman, and I have the same desires and desires, otherwise I wouldn't have so many troubles. So, I understand what you mean. Xue Shao said, "It's not surprising that people die for money, and birds die for food." But Brother Paoze, who was also born and died, fought among themselves for some petty profits or trivial matters, and even made trouble until Li Duozuo and Tang Xiujing were squeezed out - I can't do it without being angry!! ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly, "In the final analysis, it's not your fault?" ”

"Me?" Xue Shao was slightly stunned, but he didn't get angry, "Where to start?" ”

"I know that all the soldiers under your command believe in you and respect you in every way, and even know that you are going to take them to death, they will not hesitate." Xuan Yunzi said, "However, they are all just convinced that you are alone, and nothing else is in their eyes. As soon as you are gone, the generals will be left unchecked. Although there is a deep relationship between colleagues, there will be times when the teeth bite their tongues. It is not surprising that those generals will give birth to some infighting. ”

Xue Shao took a deep breath...... That's right, the days of the formation of the Shuofang Army are still short, and many places are not yet sound. It can be said that the only spiritual leader and source of cohesion in this army at present is I, Xue Shao himself! - In other words, Shuo Fangjun may not even recognize the royal court and the emperor Laozi, but only Xue Shao.

- This is both a big plus and a big disadvantage!

"So, don't blame the generals under your command." Xuan Yunzi said, "Please forgive the poor Dao Banmen for getting an axe - those soldiers under your command are all bloody and upright fighting men, and they don't know how to hide. They are not saints of high morals and cannot do everything perfectly. They will fight the enemy desperately, and they will also fight with their own people in a hot head. These just prove that they are all living people who eat corn, and they have the joys, sorrows, sorrows, beauty, ugliness, good and evil of ordinary people. This requires someone to guide and build on the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. ”

"It seems that I do have a lot of things that I can't do enough...... In the future, I will have to train soldiers and educate people. That way I can be like Pei Gong, even if I am gone, the army I leave behind is still a real army of tigers and wolves! Xue Shao nodded solemnly.

Xuan Yunzi smiled, "You have done a good job, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone in the world to do it better than you." But freezing three feet is not a day's cold, what Pei Gong has spent decades to do, you still have to take it step by step, don't be in a hurry. ”

It was as if a spirit rhino flashed through Xue Shao's mind. He could hear it, Xuan Yunzi was trying to persuade himself...... Don't stay in Chang'an, hurry up and go to Shuofang!

- There is your foundation, your soul!

Xue Shao couldn't help but think that the relationship between Xuan Yunzi and Wu Zetian was very special. Since Wu Zetian can send her to Hebei as a "lobbyist", is it possible that he confided some special secrets to her in advance?

"If you have too many words, forgive your sins." Xuan Yunzi interrupted Xue Shao's thoughts.

Xue Shao raised his glass, "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." ”

The two of them drank together.

After drinking, Xuan Yunzi stood up, "It's late at night, it's time for the horse to go to bed with Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping." ”

It seemed that Xuan Yunzi didn't want to talk about it any further, so Xue Shao also got up and nodded and smiled, "Yue Nu, send one to the Immortal Gu." ”

"Yes."

The two daughters went together.

Xue Shao stayed alone in the Tianjing Flower Pavilion and pondered for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xuan Yunzi said today was strange. He was wondering in his heart—

How do you feel, she seems to be urging me to go to Shuofang early?

Why did she do that? Whether I go to Shuofang or not, what does it have to do with her?

And the Xuanwu Fajian, she gave it to me when I first met. I still don't know what it means.

Whenever we got acquainted with each other, she would quietly disappear from my life, as if she had never appeared. Whenever I was about to forget about her, she would suddenly appear next to me. And whenever she reappears, it's always at some special time and place or at a critical juncture.

I always feel like she and I are inseparable, I seem to know her very well, but I don't seem to know her at all.

…… This is a woman, enigma!
