"Is it possible to ......" Wu Jie seemed to have some thoughts, but he looked at Xu Wei halfway through his words. The latter nodded, signaling him to speak bluntly, and then continued, "The two directors want to rectify the two marshals Wang and Zhang Shen?" ”

Everyone noticed that in his words, he did not say "rectification", but "rectification", although there was only a difference of one word, it was a world of difference. Wu Jinqing's speculation is not groundless, and it is taken for granted. As early as when the Three-Way Western Army attacked Li Zhi in Hedong, the two roads of Huanqing and Yan were deeply annoyed because of their contempt for the two divisions and their delays. This time the Jin army entered Kou Shaanxi, Liu Guangshi of Yan Yan gave up Dunzhou without a fight, although Zhang Shen led the army to fight, but after the division was defeated, he retreated into Yan'an Mansion and held out. I believe that the two directors have ideas on this. As for Wang Yi, the contradiction between him and Qu Duan was open, and as soon as the battle of Yaozhou ended, he directly led the army back to Huanqing, unwilling to be restrained by Qu Duan. Li Xuanfu and He Shaobao disposed of the two of them on this ground, and they barely made sense on the table, but why did they hand it over to Qu Duan?

"It is said that the transfer of Qu Shi Yin from the position of commander of Shaanxi Hua is to move the place for the Zhijun, but according to the current situation, the two directors are clearly reusing him, but why is this?" Wang Yan frowned and asked.

Xu Wei shook his head resolutely: "It's not reuse, it's with help." "From the standpoint of Li Gang and He Guan, they definitely want to let the six economic strategies pacify the division under unified command and prohibit it. However, due to historical reasons and geographical circumstances, the Western Army has already developed a domineering and domineering style, and will not take Tokyo dispatchers like Li He and others seriously. This contradiction was particularly fully manifested in the military campaign to resist the invasion of the Jin army. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the two divisions of Xuanfu took the opportunity to rectify the two roads of Huanqingyan and Yanyan.

"With the help of curved ends? That's the right person, our former handsome man specializes in doing the same thing! Yang Yan sneered. It seems that the original Hezhongfu incident still haunted these Hujie generals.

Wu Jue glanced at him and said, "Don't think that this matter has nothing to do with our Shaanhua Road." Qu Duan is under the control of the Sidu, and according to the system, we should also be controlled by him. The two commanders stationed in Fang, Dun, and Dan prefectures, which were adjacent to Shaanxi. Do you think you'll be okay? ”

Yang Yan snorted coldly: "Are you still afraid that he will bite me?" What about the system of the capital system? Although we are the troops of the Shaanxi and China Economic Strategy Pacification Division, we have always used the name of the Hedong Recruitment Division, and he is under the control of Shaanxi, can we manage Hedong? ”

This was immediately echoed by Wang Yan and Zhang Qing, yes, although our army has returned to Shaanxi, the establishment of the Recruitment Division has not been canceled, if you really want to talk about it, our Recruitment Division was created by the official family himself, and the two divisions of the Xuanfu system in Shaanxi should be at the same level.

As a result, Wu Jue's words were like a basin of cold water on the head to extinguish the enthusiasm of the generals: "Don't forget, Qu Duan is still the envoy of the Hedong Economic System, and there is an overlap with the authority of the Hedong envoy." ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he immediately said impatiently: "Then what should I do?" Let's lead the army back to Hedong again? Avoiding this plague god? ”

"The heart of defense is indispensable, looking at Qu Duan's recent behavior, all of them are eye-catching, he dares to be undare, let's be careful." After Wu Jue finished speaking, he waited for Xu Wei to express his position.

But Zijin Tiger's attention at this time, but Ma Kuo, who had been unwilling to speak, waved his hand and said: "Jin Qing is reasonable, give a reminder to the officers above the command level, be alert." Alright, let's get busy. ”

The generals bowed, and Ma Kuo still sat upright in the hall as if he knew that Xu Wei had something to say to him. After Xu Wei waited for the others to leave, he sat down beside him and said with a smile: "Why didn't Brother Zichong say a word? ”

Ma Kuo also smiled: "In the past, when I was in Hedong, when the enemy was in Pingrong, I should know everything and say everything. Now that the government has returned to the building, it is not good for me to comment on the internal affairs of the commander. ”

Xu Wei didn't say anything when he heard this. The war has come to an end for the time being, and he has been thinking about Ma Kuo's whereabouts for several days. When he was in Pingyang, he once promised Ma Kuo to appeal for him in front of Li Gang and find a chance for him to stand out. Although talent is rare, people cannot stand without trust, especially for people like Ma Kuo, since he promised him, he must do it, even if this person cannot be used for himself.

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Brother, now that my brother has returned to Dingrong and the war has temporarily subsided, it is really unreasonable to keep you in the army again." In this way, in the near future, the two directors will inevitably summon me to Chang'an, how about my brother and my brother walking with my brother at that time? ”

Ma Kuo's face was happy, originally he planned to ask Xu Wei to write a letter of recommendation and go to Chang'an to see Li Gang himself. Now the other party proposes to go to Chang'an together, obviously wanting to recommend it in person! Therefore, he stood up and thanked him: "Zi Angzhen and even those who believe! The foolish brother will not dare to forget the love and righteousness of the virtuous brother today! ”

Xu Wei said with a haha: "You're polite, you're polite." "I can't help but sigh in my heart, at present, I have tens of thousands of armor under my command, and generals such as Wu Jue, Wu Lan, Yang Yan, Ma Tai, Zhang Xian and others are all people who can conquer and fight, and only lack a resourceful person who can control the overall situation and look at the world. Although Ma Kuo was born in Wuchen, his talents, knowledge, and experience are at least unmatched in Shaanxi Sixth Road! Such a talent naturally wants to climb high branches, although his temple is expanding year by year, it still can't accommodate his Buddha.

When Ma Kuo saw his description, he would be wrong, thinking that he was a little reluctant. I thought to myself, Zijin Tiger treats me well, and I can't repay him, so it's better to give him some advice before leaving. After making up his mind, he asked, "Brother Xian, in your opinion, what kind of curved end is used by the two divisions?" ”

Xu Wei laughed lightly and replied casually: "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf." ”

"Hit the nail on the head!" Ma Kuang case praised. "Judging from the current situation, the unification of the command of the six roads in Shaanxi is the trend of the times. However, in order to prevent this land of strong troops from evolving into a hidden danger, the imperial court set up six pacification divisions in Shaanxi, which were not subordinate to each other, which caused the situation that today's commanders from all walks of life support their own troops and despise the two divisions. Li Xuanfu and He Shaobao want to unify the military and government, but no matter which one they attack, it will cause a series of reactions from the other five roads, which provides an opportunity for Qu Duan. Among the six roads, his qualifications, reputation, and status are not as good as those of other marshals, and he has no mountain, which is exactly the candidate that the two divisions need. Therefore, the two directors want to borrow his hand to defeat the unruly habits of the Western Army! He was originally a general of the Western Army, and with him, others could not target the two divisions. If you are used, the virtuous brother has a background in Tokyo, and it is inevitable that he will teach people the truth. ”

Xu Wei had already thought of this analysis, but he still nodded and said, "Brother is reasonable. ”

"But!" Ma Kuo changed his words, "The two directors are in a hurry. ”

These words aroused Xu Wei's interest, sat up straight, and asked solemnly, "Oh, where does this start?" ”

"Although Lou Su's main force has been defeated, according to my estimates, the forces in his hands may still be able to fight. But he held Tongguan and retreated to Henan, don't you think it's strange? Ma Kuo asked.

Xu Wei snorted: "I guess he plans to get in touch with the Jinguo East Route Army, and then plan later." ”

"Haha, Brother Xian's words are wrong!" Ma Kuolang laughed loudly, "Before the founding of the Jin people, Wanyan Wugunai, who unified the Jurchen tribes, created an unwritten system. His eldest son, the impeacher, was the main one, and the second son was the one outside the impeacher, and since then, the descendants of the impeacher have long held the post of minister of state, and the descendants of the impeachment have become emperors. Wanyan Aguta is the emperor of the Jin State, and due to the ancestral system, he had to divide and rule the Jurchens with Wanyan Sagai, the son of the impeacher. These are the two factions in the country. Until now, Wanyan Sagai's son Sticky Han has served as the prime minister, and Lou Su is his cronies. And Aguta's fourth son, Wushu, served as the commander of the Eastern Route Army, do you think Lou Su would go to Wushu for help? ”

Xu Wei heard these Jurchen origins, which had never been heard of before, and it turned out that there were also party disputes in the Jin Kingdom, and he thought that infighting was the patent of our Han people. However, Lou Su went to Henan Mansion not to ask for help from Wushu, so what was the idea? Without waiting for him to ask, Ma Kuo had already said to himself: "Since the first southern invasion of the Jurchens, it is the impeachment of the Western Route Army of the first system, and the impeachment of the Eastern Route Army of the first system. Neither side will let the other steal the limelight. As soon as the second prince of Jin Guo died, the fourth prince Wushu ascended the throne, he would inevitably try to wash away his brother's shame, and Mu Han would definitely not let him take the lead. If what I expected is correct, Lou Su is waiting for Muhan to send reinforcements. ”

Xu Wei was shocked when he heard this! After the Battle of Dingrong, he thought that there would be no more major battles. But if Ma Kuo's prediction came true, then he was wrong. And if you think about it carefully, a few days ago, the Hujie Township Army and the Zhejia Army defeated the besieging enemy in Pingyang, and the remnants fled to Taiyuan. This also means that Sticky Han knows the news, will he send reinforcements to Lou Su?

"Therefore, when the Western Army has not yet come to rest, the two division chiefs are starting to rectify it at this time, isn't it too hasty? Qu Duan arrested Wang Xiang, and the Preparation Division ordered Wang Xianghuan to be dismissed from the post of pacification envoy, but no new commander was dispatched. It is clearly conniving at or even supporting Qu Shi Yin's annexation of troops. This is bound to cause strong dissatisfaction among the Huanqing generals! I'm sure that the affairs of the Huanqing will not be smoothed out for a while, and no one can say how the subsequent situation will develop. In this case, the two divisions also wanted him to take over the defense of Yanyan, and they looked too highly at Qu Shi Yin. Ma Kuanqi calmed down and sorted out all kinds of intricate and complex relationships in an orderly manner. The more Xu Wei listened, the more painful he became, Liu Bei sent Xu Shu to Xuchang, which is probably his current mood.

"Then according to my brother's opinion, how should the Western Army deal with itself?" Xu Wei asked.

Ma Kuo stepped forward and whispered: "It's not how the Western Army handles itself, it's how you Xu Ziang handle yourself." ”

With a jump in his heart, Xu Wei heard something else from this sentence, and hurriedly said, "Please give advice to Brother Zichong." ”

"Simple, you go and take over Yan Yan." Ma Kuo's words are amazing!
