"If the chief manager has something to order, his subordinates will do their best."

Although he didn't understand why Li Xiaoyi's attitude had changed so much, Wei Yuanzhong still said sincerely, after all, his identity was the supervisor of the army, and his role was to supervise the military situation and assist the commander.

"This ......."

When the words came to his mouth, Li Xiaoyi suddenly didn't know what to say, after all, when he was outside Huaiyin City, in order to show himself, he couldn't listen to Wei Yuanzhong's advice at all, and then the battle of Huaiyin City, as Wei Yuanzhong said, was quite bumpy, because of his great achievements, which led to heavy losses for the army.

Although he already had remorse at that time, he felt even more shameless to face Wei Yuanzhong, so in the next period of time, he also deliberately avoided Wei Yuanzhong, and now he suddenly wanted to admit his previous mistakes in front of him, which was the most painful thing for Li Xiaoyi, who had always been arrogant.

After hesitating for a long time, life and future are still more important than face after all, Li Xiaoyi still revealed all the truth to Wei Yuanzhong.

"So far, a certain will not deceive the Wei Prison Army, please see the prison army, this is an edict sent by the Queen Mother to a certain one."

After thinking about it, Li Xiaoyi was also extremely honorable, and raised his hand to hand the holy decree he had just received to Wei Yuanzhong.

The officialdom system in the Tang Dynasty was still good, unlike a certain dynasty in later generations, officials were no longer helpers who could rule the world with the emperor, but a group of minions who only knew kowtow.

And this kind of will is also very simple, not a stinky and long sentence that no one can understand, like the formal will, but a very simple narrative or inquiry.

And this holy decree sent to Li Xiaoyi is like this, it is very simple and just a few sentences, which can be roughly summarized into two meanings: 'One is that the elite main force of the Xu army has been annihilated, and the other is to ask Li Xiaoyi when he will be able to come to Yangzhou City. ’

After reading the holy decree, Wei Yuanzhong finally understood why it seemed so abnormal to enter Li Xiaoyi, this holy decree looked simple and the tone was extremely neutral, but Wei Yuanzhong, who had been in the court for a long time, could see that this was a manifestation of the court or the Empress Dowager Wu Meiniang's heart being very dissatisfied with Li Xiaoyi, the chief manager, and actually broke the previous routine of 'the general will be outside, and the monarch's order will not be accepted', and it is a matter of meddling in the army in disguise.

If Li Xiaoyi doesn't take action next, or the next action still doesn't satisfy the Queen Mother Wu Meiniang, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it for long.

"Xu Jingye's army was defeated, how did he lose, why did he lose, wasn't he attacking Runzhou, could it be that there was something unexpected when he attacked Runzhou."

After reading the holy decree, although Wei Yuanzhong understood why Li Xiaoyi's attitude towards him had changed, he was even more puzzled about Xu Jingye's defeat.

Although this matter has been rumored in the outside world, in Li Xiaoyi's army, this is news that only a few people know, and Wei Yuanzhong was deliberately alienated by Li Xiaoyi during this time, and when the conference was held, he did not participate, so he did not know these things.

"Don't worry, Wei Jianjun, here's how it ........."

"I see, Duan Jian, Duan Bufan, his subordinates also have some understanding of this person, so they can solve a few strange cases, and they have also fought wine and poems next to Qujiang Pond for hundreds of poems, I originally thought that this was a literati, but I didn't expect to be so experienced in marching and fighting, it is really a rare talent!"

After listening to the explanation of Li Xiaoyi's official Xu Jingye's army in Xijin Gudu, Wei Yuanzhong couldn't help but applaud, and at the same time he was full of curiosity about Duan Jian.

Looking at Wei Yuanzhong, who was full of joy, Li Xiaoyi said with a little cry and laughter, "Wei Jian Army, Duan Bufan defeated the Xu thief and exterminated the elite of the rebels, but it is a thing to be happy about, but at this time it is not the time to cheer for them, more than 100,000 Xu troops rebelled, and they were defeated by more than 10,000 rabble government soldiers, which makes the world think of us, we have 300,000 elites, but now let alone defeat the rebels, even Yangzhou City has not seen, if it can not be changed, it is a trivial matter to lose an official and resign, But the whole army is probably going to be reprimanded by the imperial court, so you should think about what we should do next. ”

"This ........."

Hearing Li Xiaoyi's inquiry, Wei Yuanzhong restrained his thoughts, and his face showed a little hesitation.

For Li Xiaoyi's question, it is also something that Wei Yuanzhong considered during this time, and, after this period of consideration, he had a clearer outline of the next step of the army's plan, originally he wanted to further elaborate on this plan, but now after Xu Jingye's defeat of Xijin Gudu, he was much more relieved.

But although he had a plan, he didn't know whether to say it or not, not that he was narrow-minded and wanted to take revenge on Li Xiaoyi's previous coldness to him, but that he didn't know if Li Xiaoyi would follow his advice.

"Why, could it be that Wei Jian Jun has any concerns." Seeing Wei Yuanzhong's expression, Li Xiaoyi asked with some apprehension in his heart.

Now, Wei Yuanzhong is Li Xiaoyi's last hole card, if even Wei Yuanzhong has no choice, he can only play the burden in advance and wait to return to Luoyang City.

"The chief manager Mingjian, his subordinates do have some concerns, but they are just ......."

Wei Yuanzhong thought about it before he said hesitantly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xiaoyi.

"Wei Jianjun rest assured, as long as you can make a meritorious service as soon as possible, no matter what the conditions, you can promise you, ask for people to give people, and ask for things to give things."

For his own future, Li Xiaoyi can be regarded as fighting thoroughly.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyi didn't look like a fake, Wei Yuanzhong also dispelled a few worries, nodded and said, "Okay, since the chief manager said so, his subordinates should know everything." That's what my subordinates think........"

I don't know if the plan was too big or if the two had no estrangement, they talked happily until the evening, and Wei Yuanzhong went out of Li Xiaoyi's big tent.

Yangzhou City, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion

Since Xu Jingye led the troops to the south, this metropolitan governor's mansion has always seemed a little empty, but today, this metropolitan governor's mansion seems to have gathered all the excitement of the past, and it is extraordinarily lively, in addition to the officials dressed in various official mansions, the slaves and soldiers who come and go are also extremely numerous, and the bustling is like a temple fair.

Of course, this kind of scene is only in the front yard, through a corridor, after arriving in the backyard, it is like entering another world, deserted, this is not no one, there are many people standing inside and outside the house, but these people are like puppets one by one, just standing there quietly, not talking, and not understanding, occasionally a few people whisper, the sound is not much worse than mosquito humming, which makes people feel very weird.

"Brother Li, have you heard, this time the Metropolitan Governor suffered a big loss in Runzhou, and more than 100,000 troops lost most of them, I can't imagine that scene!"

"What, Brother Du, this is impossible, I heard that the Metropolitan Governor is not invincible in Runzhou, and is about to occupy the entire territory of Runzhou, if it is not for the return to Jiangbei to resist the attack of the Tang Army, even Runzhou City has been taken, how can it fail, besides, there are no strong soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, how can it be the opponent of the Metropolitan Governor, in my opinion, you will not have hysteria during the day!"

"What kind of hysteria, you, usually so well-informed, how can you be so deaf to the right thing, tell you, the news of a certain is from the army, a certain nephew is a captain in the army in the south, listen to him come back and say, at the beginning of the south, it was invincible, the entire Runzhou was taken, but when it arrived in Runzhou City, it was not good, and after several fights, Runzhou City was not taken, and even the little general was caught by the Tang army, and then the governor wanted to catch the Tang army before he returned. I didn't expect that God didn't open his eyes, a big flood came down, more than 100,000 troops, not even a percent, the rest either fell into the Yangtze River for fish and turtles, or were killed and captured by the Tang Army, that scene, the people who saw it were sad, smelling tears! ”

"Ah, what you're saying is true, and if that's the case, we'..... What can we do, the 300,000 troops of the Tang Army are about to fight, without an army, how can we resist, we can't let us go to the battlefield! ”

"Hey, hey, who is right, so if there is a way, your brother should prepare in advance, and the time will catch you off guard, this is also the good relationship between you and my brother in the past, otherwise, who will tell you these head-off things."

"Thank you, thank you Brother Du, if Brother Wei can really get out of the big trouble, I will definitely repay your great kindness another day."

...............

There are countless officials in the compound who talk like this, you must know that there is no impermeable wall in this world, after Xu Jingye defeated Xijin Gudu, although he escaped by luck, and immediately blocked the news, and at the same time declared that it was a big victory, but more than 100,000 people went south, but only more than 10,000 people came back, this huge difference, how can people not notice.

"Tell me all about how we can retreat from the enemy now." Sitting on the main seat, Xu Jingye asked in a hoarse tone.

After the defeat of Xijin Gudu, although Xu Jingye was robbed by the soldiers, and he slowly recovered, but the huge failure made him unacceptable, in just a few days, he was already in his twenties with white hair on his head, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were red, and he looked like a ghost, if he was not a person who was in frequent contact, I am afraid that he really couldn't believe that he was the same Xu Jingye as he was.

Xu Jingye spoke, but after everyone present looked at each other, no one spoke.

"Why, don't speak, are you going to sit like this, wait for the Tang army to come over and raise your hands to surrender, tell you, don't think that you can survive if you surrender, who is that demon woman, you should know it well, anyone who has offended her, but there is a good end, others will not say it, even his own son was killed by her, you still want to live, it is simply delusional, it is imperative, we still have to unite to repel the attack of the Tang army, only in this way is our only hope to live."

Looking at the people who didn't say a word, Xu Jingye said with a sneer on his face.

"Metropolitan Governor, it's not that we have different intentions, but now everyone knows that if you want to fight against the Tang Army, you can only have a strong force, if the more than 100,000 troops are still there, maybe there is still a fight, but now .........."

Someone spoke.

"Why, you're complaining about so-and-so, right, do you think so-and-so wants to fail, but God doesn't bless, what can so-and-so do, can so-and-so take a knife to find God's trouble."

The official's words caused Xu Jingye to be angry again.

Looking at Xu Jingye, who looked like he was crazy, many officials flashed a few traces of disappointment in their eyes, and they all shook their heads and sighed. More people showed thoughtful expressions, which looked like the expressions of the two officials who were talking outside just now.

"Okay, when the big war comes, it is when we wait for everyone to unite and unite with the outside world, how can we make noise with our own people at this time, if outsiders listen to it, we still think that we have fought internally."

A rather majestic voice sounded in the main hall.

Hearing this voice, no matter what kind of official he was thinking, the expression on his face was closed, and he looked at the person, the military advisor, Wei Siwen with a facelift.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree

It's all about strength.

In terms of official positions, everyone present, except for Xu Jingye, is Wei Siwen's highest official position, he used to be the imperial history, but he is the only official among all who has stood in the court, and this prestige alone is not comparable to others.

So that's all, he can only be regarded as a prestige person, and will not be convinced by everyone, the reason why he is convinced by everyone is that this Yangzhou rebellion can be said to be directed by him, from the beginning of the bloodless capture of Yangzhou City, and then raise the flag in Yangzhou City, forming a huge scale, which is also planned by him.

Even later, if it weren't for Xu Jingye's selfishness and single-mindedly going south, giving up the action of going north to the mountain, east, and coming to Luoyang City, maybe they would have now arrived outside Luoyang City, forcing Wu Meiniang to abdicate and return to the Son of Heaven, and now they are all meritorious deeds of the imperial court, and it is not necessary to be promoted and rich.

It is with this kind of merit that although Xu Jingye is extremely disgusted with Wei Siwen, Wei Siwen's influence in Xu Jun is still huge.
