It was very early in September, Li Xuanba had been thinking about it for too long at night, and before he could fall asleep, he was awakened by a knock on the door, he opened his worried eyes, looked out of the white window, and secretly said that he had a lot to worry about, sighed, got up and washed.

Zhongyong Mansion is not far from the palace, but as long as he goes to the court, Li Xuanba has to go out in Yinshi, and he can't help but envy those officials in the lower provinces, at least he can sleep for half an hour more every day, but he doesn't know that the officials of the three provinces and six departments envy him even more.

Li Xuanba took a group of entourage, rode to the palace gate, and then entered the imperial city alone. The drum sounded three times, and the hundred officials entered the hall and greeted the king of Yue, except for a few old ministers who gave the seats, the rest of the people knelt on the pomp mat.

"The Wagang thief general Xu Shiji has captured Wuyang and other counties a few days ago, so that the imperial court has been disgraced, and now my father and emperor sent General Jiangdu Tongshouwang to lead the army to crusade against the rebels, what do you propose?" King Yue wore a crown on his head, wore a crown robe, sat majestically on the side of the dragon chair, and said with a solemn gaze.

"General Wang has crusaded against countless traitors and won a hundred battles, so how can he not succeed in his crusade against the Wagang thieves?" Duan Da, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, took the lead and said: "Several reinforcements have been integrated, and the momentum is flourishing, so it should be a good opportunity to ask for thieves." ”

Weichen seconded. Yuan Wendu knew that it was imperative to crusade against Wagang, and said in a deep voice: "Li Mide's army of 200,000 will inevitably be arrogant, if he can lure out the Wagang thieves, and then attack them with an elite army, he will definitely be defeated." As soon as he spoke, the echo grew.

Some courtiers also said worriedly: "The army is going out, and countless grains and grass are consumed, if Li Mi can't hold out, won't the gains outweigh the losses?" There were a few echoes above the court, and they were more in favor of sticking to the eastern capital.

"Are we going to wait for Wagang to gather a large army and attack the city?" The main battler retorted: "No matter how strong the city of Luoyang is, once it is besieged. It was a lonely city, and at that time there was no food and grass inside, and there were no reinforcements outside, so what should I do? ”

Li Xuanba listened to the noise of the crowd, did not say a word, and was drowsy. It wasn't until King Yue mentioned his name that he suddenly woke up, only to find that the courtiers had begun to withdraw from the main hall, so he also got up and prepared to leave.

King Yue coughed lightly and said: "The ministers have finished discussing, this king has decided to send troops to take the initiative to attack, and will go to Luokou to attack the Wagang thieves in the near future, what do the loyal guards think about the arrangement of troops?" ”

Only then did Li Xuanba find that Wang Shichong, Wang Long and others were still in the hall, and hurriedly knelt down and sat upright. replied: "Xuanba's qualifications are still young, and he obeys General Wang's dispatch in everything. ”

"Loyal and brave are too humble." Wang Shichong turned his fat body and said with a smile: "This time to defeat the Wagang thieves, the Xingyang army is the key to success or failure, and the loyal and brave guards have to take on a big responsibility!" ”

"What does General Wang mean by this?" Li Xuanba's face was puzzled, and he said suspiciously: "The Jianghuai army is strong and strong, and it should be dominated by the Jianghuai army, and moreover. There were several other reinforcements, all of which were elites of the imperial court. The general should not make fun of Xuanba. ”

"It seems that someone has slept too soundly, and I haven't heard a word of His Royal Highness King Yue." Wang Long scoffed.

"Zhongyongwei has been worried about the refugees these days, and he can't sleep at night, and his fatigue is understandable." King Yue explained disappreciably, then looked at Li Xuanba and said: "When the Jianghuai army first arrived in the north, it was not adapted to the water and soil. I'm afraid I won't be able to go this time. After the other reinforcements arrived in Luoyang, they were stationed together and knew each other well, and in order to prevent chaos in the army, they could only use the Xingyang army as the flank. Always ready to fight into enemy lines. ”

Li Xuanba understood it now, Wang Long and others hated him, so several reinforcements were combined into one road, as the main army to contain the Wagang thieves, and handed over the most dangerous task of rushing and killing the enemy formation to the Xingyang army, to put it bluntly, Wang Long and they didn't plan to take Li Xuanba to play together, and even had the intention of revenge.

Wang Long and the others thought that Li Xuanba would be frightened, but they didn't know that their proposal was in line with Li Xuanba's thoughts, only to see Li Xuanba bow his head and be silent for a while, and resolutely said: "Your Highness, since the generals look up to the Xingyang Army, Weichen has no reason to refuse, but Weichen requested that the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court to the Xingyang Army be transported by Weichen. ”

Seeing Li Xuanba's tragic appearance, King Yue thought to himself, General Wang Long, although they are embarrassing for you now, and they dare not do anything unfavorable to the Xingyang army on the battlefield, why should you worry about the problem of grain and grass? However, Li Xuanba's request did not affect the overall situation, and King Yue agreed without hesitation.

"The morale of the enemy army is not weak, and they are familiar with the advantages of the imperial army, do you generals have a clever plan?" Although King Yue advocated a crusade, he had no idea how to defeat the Wagang thieves, and looked at everyone and asked.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Wechen thinks that improvisation is the best policy." Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "However, since the Wagang thieves know that the number of cavalry in the imperial court is not large, they will naturally send all the cavalry to meet the battle, so we will give up the cavalry and choose a steep and narrow place to fight with the thief army. ”

King Yue's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Wang Tongshou is very clever in this plan. But after thinking about it, King Yue looked puzzled and said, "Li Mi is well versed in the art of war, how can he be easily fooled?" ”

"Wechen heard that Li Mi and Zhai Rang were suspicious of each other because of the refugee matter." Wang Shichong grinned at the corners of his mouth, squeezed the meat to his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Although Li Mi was pushed to be the head of the Wagang thieves, Zhai Rang's power should not be underestimated, Li Mi must be in a hurry to make contributions in order to stabilize his own power, Weichen invited him to fight, if he doesn't come out, wouldn't it make Zhai Rang look down on him?" ”

"Wang Tongshou looks at the overall situation and skillfully uses the weaknesses of the thief army, which is really admired by this king." King Yue exclaimed: "My father sent you to command the three armies, and you also know how to make good use of people. After speaking, pay homage to the south and sing praises.

Listening to the conversation between Yang Tong and Wang Shichong, the other generals looked at Wang Shichong with admiration, although Li Xuanba was preconceived and very disgusted with Wang Shichong, he had to admit that Wang Shichong was indeed very good at using soldiers.

Wang Shichong said for about an hour, and King Yue just asked questions and praised, with his age, what constructive suggestions could he put forward? After the discussion, everyone got up and left, Li Xuanba was left far behind, and he looked extremely pitiful alone, King Yue sighed lightly, shook his head and returned to the palace.

Li Xuanba followed behind Wang Long and the others unhurriedly, and suddenly his eyes rolled, chased after him, and shouted, "A few generals, wait a moment." ”

Wang Shichong turned around, with a smile on his face, and asked very casually: "What else is the matter with Zhongyongwei?" The others also stopped for a while, so as not to refute Wang Shichong's face.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue is quite far-sighted, and he has long known that the imperial court will inevitably crusade against the Wagang thieves, so in order to make Li Mi think that the Xingyang army is not in agreement with the generals, he made me deliberately offend several generals that day." Li Xuanba sighed, and said to Wang Long and the others: "Your Highness's bitter trick is really clever, but you forgot to explain it to the three generals, hoping that the three generals can understand Xuanba's original hardships." ”

"Oh, it's all bad to blame, King Yue once asked me to explain on my behalf, but I've been busy thinking about the crusade against Wagang for the past few days, and I forgot about it." Wang Shichong exclaimed in surprise and blamed himself: "If the three generals still have grievances, they will hold a banquet all night and make amends to the three of them." Wang Long and others didn't dare to practice, and apologized to Li Xuanba one after another.

Li Xuanba smiled and greeted the three of them politely, but his heart was even more uneasy. The ability of the secret Dao Wang Shichong to buy people's hearts is indeed palpitating, if he is just an ordinary person, he will definitely be full of gratitude to him, and then get close to him.

However, since Wang Shichong came forward to solve the trouble for him, he was relieved, chatted with Wang Shichong and others for a few words, and then left the palace and went to the barracks. (To be continued.) )
