The people in the tent are all Shi Chonggui's confidants and cronies, and the most unfortunate ones are also the generals who are good friends with him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This not only shows that Shi Chonggui is thoughtful and worthy of being the "Three Masters of the Martial Arts Academy", but also shows that among the current Tang generals of the Dingyan Army, Shi Chonggui has a lot of prestige and popularity, after all, the word young marshal is not called in vain, otherwise many generals would not be able to gather here at such a time.

Liu Zhiyuan is a clear-minded person, not too old, but there is a suspicion of old treacherous and cunning, in the end, he could have established the founding king of the Later Han Dynasty, after he entered the account, he looked at the posture of everyone, and knew that the other party must be plotting something big, although he did not know the details for the time being, but with his keen intuition and veteran experience, he knew that now was the time to stand in line, and it was simply to weigh the pros and cons, and he was determined to stand on the side of Shi Chonggui.

Shi Chonggui was a little surprised, but at this time, there was no need to hide it, "General Liu knows what the general is planning?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan knew what to say at this time, and hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask the young marshal to plan for the life and death of the soldiers of the difficult army!" ”

No matter how you look at this, there is no problem, even if Shi Chonggui has no intention of winning the handsome.

"General Liu is really a sharp person." Yang Guangyuan welcomed Liu Zhiyuan in due course.

Time is pressing, the words have come to this, there is no need to say much about hypocrisy, it is necessary to deploy the action immediately, Shi Chonggui is not a person without responsibility, now that he has decided to do something, he can't tolerate half a point of indecision, and briefly explain the situation to Liu Zhiyuan, and then said: "If you want to order the three armies, General Du Chongwei must also stand on your side and me, otherwise when the incident happens, if Du Chongwei raises troops to resist, I will be in chaos first, and I will not be able to talk about attacking the Hexi thief army." ”

In addition to Shi Chonggui's pro-army under the command of Shi Jingjiao, Liu Zhiyuan, Yang Guangyuan, and Du Chongwei all have their own headquarters.

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "Du Chongwei is simple-minded, and because the marshal was kind to him, he is very stupid and loyal to the marshal. This time, even if we don't have the heart to be unfavorable to the marshal, and just want to use the marshal's order, Du Chongwei may not disobey the marshal. ”

Yang Guangyuan also knows Du Chongwei's personality, "Du Chongwei is indeed a trouble. ”

Shi Chonggui asked, "What can I do?" ”

Yang Guangyuan and Liu Zhiyuan glanced at each other, and the former hugged his fist at Shi Chonggui and said, "If you want to succeed, you must deal with this person first." ”

"General Yang's intention to kill Du Chongwei?" Shi Chonggui was surprised.

"There is no perfect thing in the world, and one person dies to save an army, and this can only be the case now." Yang Guangyuan was decisive.

Shi Chonggui is pure in heart in the end, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of pain at the moment, "I just want to save my comrades, I never thought of killing my comrades, but I haven't saved my comrades yet, but I want to kill my siblings first, how can I do it?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan's mind turned, and he suddenly said: "It's okay not to kill, but you need to lure him here and imprison him." ”

"What if he doesn't come?" Yang Guangyuan frowned, feeling that Liu Zhiyuan's plan was a bit muddy, but it was a good match, so he didn't have no emotion, so he still agreed, but he still had concerns.

"Then you can only kill." Liu Zhiyuan said.

"In this way, life and death are chosen by himself, and he is worthy of him." Yang Guangyuan bowed his head and clenched his fist at Shi Chonggui, "Time is pressing, please make a quick decision young marshal!" ”

Shi Chonggui sighed, knowing that there was no other way at this time.

At this time, someone came into the tent to report to Shi Chonggui, "Li Yiyin has gone to see the handsome!" ”

Li Yiyin is the leader of the party in Xiazhou.

Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan first changed color, and said badly, "I will be difficult in the army, only half of the Tang soldiers are in the hands of Li Yiyin, this move, after seeking the unity of my Tang soldiers, I need to win Li Yiyin's approval, and now Li Yiyin has gone to the handsome account, if the marshal has any plan with him, I am afraid that things will not be good!" ”

When they heard this, they all changed color.

Shi Chonggui stood up, but said: "General Liu, don't worry, the letter of the marshal, Li Yiyin, has not yet reached the point of defeating you and me as a Tang general, and there will be no changes this time...... But what you and I are planning needs to be done now! ”

Immediately, Shi Chonggui ordered all the arrangements, Liu Zhiyuan, Yang Guangyuan and other generals all went back to convene the generals of the headquarters to unify the deployment of tonight's action, and he himself pretended to discuss the matter of tomorrow's battle formation, and asked people to invite Du Chongwei to come over.

When Shi Chonggui laid an ambush in the tent, Du Chongwei also arrived.

Some time ago, Du Chongwei led the Xiazhou Ma Army to attack the forbidden army's foot formation, and was hit head-on by the Modao Formation, suffering heavy casualties, and he himself was also injured, but fortunately, the injury was not too serious, so he was not replaced.

Shi Chonggui sat solemnly behind the general's case, and when Du Chongwei entered the account, he did not go around with him, and directly explained the situation, asking him to order his troops to cooperate with him and attack the Hexi armies tonight.

As expected by Liu Zhiyuan and others, after hearing that Shi Chonggui was going to put Shi Jingjiao under house arrest and carry out the military order of the commander, Du Chongwei categorically said that he could not cooperate, and sharply accused Shi Chonggui of being unfilial and disloyal.

Shi Chonggui had no other choice but to smash the cup, and the ambush soldiers in the tent poured out together to subdue Du Chongwei. After the latter was tied up, he was greatly annoyed, and scolded Shi Chonggui, with vicious words, and was extremely angry. The left and right relatives were not angry, and they said that Shi Chonggui would kill him, and Shi Chonggui couldn't bear it, but he was just strictly ordered to guard it.

......

Li Yiyin was called by Shi Jingjiao, and when he entered the account, the latter told Li Yiyin what Shi Chonggui had advised him to attack the Hexi army, and asked him what he thought.

Li Yiyin first expressed his surprise, and after calming down his emotions a little, he said slowly: "But then again, the young marshal's words are not unreasonable. At present, the army is unfavorable, repeatedly defeated for several days, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and we are fighting outside the town, the soldiers have no idea of defending the land, and the homesickness of their lives, morale is inevitably sluggish, the young marshal has this idea, it is an expedient measure. ”

As he spoke, he observed Shi Jingjiao's reaction, very cautious and cautious, not at all like a straight horse nation.

Shi Jingjiao didn't have any expression, and his tone was surprisingly calm, he had an idea in his heart, and he couldn't let Li Yiyin know, and the effective way to remain mysterious was to only repeat the other party's words, "Is it an expedient measure?" ”

"Yes, yes. The strength of the forbidden army has been known to everyone for several days, and there is no reason to admit it. The enemy is strong and I am weak, and I can't fight hard, otherwise I will bring about my own destruction. ”

Li Yiyin said slowly, "If the army leaves the town to fight, if the war goes well, the morale will naturally be high, and if the war does not go well, it is inevitable that people's hearts will change." Moreover, the forbidden army was strong, and our army did not rely on the strong city, but suffered from the enemy on its back, and the situation was indeed unfavorable. According to a certain opinion, it is better to make a false appointment with the imperial court and pretend to attack the Hexi thief army, but in fact, he is looking for an opportunity to get out of the battlefield and retreat to Xiazhou. At that time, with the city of Xiazhou, with the management of the commander in Xiazhou, with the determination of the soldiers to defend the land, with the support of the party departments, and with the vast land of Xiazhou as room for maneuver, it is enough to resist the attack of the forbidden army. If this can be done, even if our army cannot defeat the forbidden army, in time, the forbidden army will not be able to transport enough food, and the army will definitely take the initiative to retreat, and the foundation of the commander can be preserved, and the meritorious cause will have time to seek again. ”

Shi Jingjiao bowed slightly, "This is the old man's words." ”

Li Yiyin was overjoyed when he heard this, "Everything depends on the commander." ”

On the surface, Li Yiyin is thinking about Shi Jingjiao in every sentence, but in fact, it is not.

As the leader of the party, Li Yiyin has his own position, in this position, he has his own angle and consideration of looking at problems, and in his heart, the interests of the party members are the first. Shi Jingjiao can bring benefits to the party, he naturally does not hesitate to "saddle before and after the horse", but if the situation is unfavorable, the first thing he wants to plan is how to protect the party's strength.

Xiazhou is the nest of the party, and only when you return to Xiazhou can you have the confidence to deal with the attack of the forbidden army, which is one of them.

Shi Jingjiao in the name of plotting Hexi, and the fact of rebellion, if he is about to be defeated, Li Yiyin in Xiazhou is convenient to deal with, really to the last resort, also have the ability to fight back, Shi Jingjiao tied up to the imperial court, so, not to say that the party is meritorious, at least the merit can be offset, continue to survive in Xiazhou, keep their own power unharmed, this is the second.

Shi Jingjiao pondered for a while, and suddenly said solemnly to Li Yiyin: "Brother is the right-hand man of a certain person, when this time of crisis, you and I should work together to tide over the difficulties, now that there is a heavy responsibility to entrust, I wonder if my brother can help me?" ”

Li Yiyin was righteous and awe-inspiring, "The marshal commanded." ”

Shi Jingjiao said solemnly: "The cavalry led by the noble is the marshal's pro-army, how much is the weight needless to say, but the noble's words today, the marshal is quite disliked, in case he has a mind that he shouldn't have, the marshal's intention, please ask my brother to lead the pro-army on his behalf, I don't know what my brother wants?" ”

Li Yiyin was shocked, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, since the Xiao cavalry army is Shi Jingjiao's pro-army, not only is the combat strength of the army alone, but also often around Shi Jingjiao, if he can lead this army and infiltrate and control it, if he wants to fight back against Shi Jingjiao in the future, it will be much more convenient. Taking a step back, even if he does not seek to deal with Shi Jingjiao in the future, it will be beneficial to be able to infiltrate this army, and it can be prepared for emergencies.

At that moment, Li Yiyin held back the joy in his heart, bowed down and said: "The handsome man has a life, don't dare not disobey." ”

"In this way, there is Brother Lao." Shi Jingjiao said happily, and then, his face turned gloomy, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is the big man sighing?" Li Yiyin was puzzled.

Shi Jingjiao said melancholy: "Chonggui has been in the army for a long time, he has made great merits, and he has also won the trust of the soldiers...... At the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with you. ”

"That's right." Li Yiyin also groaned, half loud, and asked Shi Jingjiao, "I don't know how the marshal plans to place the young marshal?" ”

Shi Jingjiao looked at Li Yiyin, with a look of trust and expectation in his eyes, "Today, my brother has already led the Xiao cavalry army, and it is inevitable that the military affairs will be busy during the war, so it is better to let the noble temporarily take charge of the party's soldiers and horses on behalf of the elder brother." Chonggui was not familiar with the party department, and he didn't have to worry about what he really had in mind, and it saved him from resentment and suspicion. ”

Li Yiyin was stunned, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word for half a sound.

Shi Jingjiao continued to say earnestly: "At present, the army is not in a good position, and the party and Tang tribes in the army should work together, and there can be no disagreement, otherwise I will not wait for the forbidden army to defeat me, and I will be in chaos." Now, if there is a brother to lead the cavalry, and the noble to lead the party soldiers and horses, it is the embodiment of the intimacy and closeness of the two, and the officers and men of the three armies are bound to be of one heart and one mind when they see this. If so, even if we don't win this battle, we can protect ourselves and return to Xiazhou safely! ”

Li Yiyin is like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and he can't tell if he has bitterness.

Shi Jingjiao handed over the Xiao cavalry army to him, which is naturally a manifestation of his "incomparable trust", when he grasped the benefits of expanding the authority of the Xiao cavalry army, he did not hesitate for a minute, and now Shi Jingjiao wants Shi Chonggui to be in charge of the party "temporarily" and "on his behalf", how can he oppose it?

Moreover, Shi Jingjiao's words can be described as reasonable and leaky, so there is no room for refutation.

Shi Jingjiao took Li Yiyin's look in his eyes, sincere and urgent on the surface, but in fact he sneered in his heart.

In all fairness, Shi Jingjiao's trust in Shi Chonggui is definitely more than his trust in Li Yiyin, just as he trusts the Tang soldiers more than he trusts the party subordinates, although deep down, he may not fully trust anyone.

At present, the army is unfavorable, Shi Jingjiao is inevitably worried that the soldiers under his command have different thoughts, in order to completely control the army in the predicament, so as not to cause chaos in the army, he has to do something.

Changing generals and making soldiers unfamiliar with each other is an excellent means.

In fact, Shi Jingjiao asked Li Yiyin to lead the Xiao cavalry, not to hand over the Xiao cavalry to him. Since the Xiao Cavalry Army is his pro-army, it is naturally the most of his henchmen and cronies, Li Yiyin is airborne, but it is only in name, Shi Jingjiao only needs to use his wrist a little, and he can make Li Yiyin become the commander of the light pole.

On the one hand, Shi Jingjiao is the envoy of the difficult army, and the party's soldiers and horses are controlled by him, and they act in the right name, when Shi Chonggui passes, he can deepen his control over the party and his subordinates, on the other hand, let Shi Chonggui stay away from the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and also avoid Shi Chonggui's really unusual behavior.

Without Shi Chonggui in the Tang Dynasty and Li Yiyin in the Party Division, they could not make trouble on their own, and in the end, the military power was concentrated in the hands of Shi Jingjiao.

Kill birds with one stone.

Of course, in this strategy, Li Yiyin suffered the most, which also shows that Shi Jingjiao does not trust the party subordinates very much.

"Brother, rest assured, Chonggui is only temporarily leading the party on his behalf, and when he returns to Xiazhou, everything will remain the same." Shi Jingjiao followed the temptation to dispel Li Yiyin's concerns.

Li Yiyin was helpless, so he had to clench his fists and said: "Everything is up to the handsome." ”

He thought in his heart, even if I am not in the party army, the generals of the party army will still listen to me, and I am not afraid of what Shi Chonggui can really do.

"So, my heart is at peace!" Shi Jingjiao smiled, "Without further ado, this marshal will order the nobles to come and hand over military affairs with you." ”

Calling the soldiers, Shi Jingjiao gave two orders and asked him to pass on Shi Chonggui.

When the soldiers got the order, they immediately went out of their tents. However, in an instant, the soldiers returned to their tents.

"Report to the marshal, the young marshal has come!"
