When everyone hurriedly raised their eyes, they were stunned to find that it was Xie Ai!

"Ordered Xie Ai to be the commander of the battalion marching south, promoted to the former military division, the rank of general of Jia Longxiang, and led the Hanzhong Taishou."

Xie Ai was obviously not mentally prepared at all, and he didn't get half a point of disclosure and hint in advance. When he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, with a stunned face. Behind him, there was an uproar that could no longer be suppressed.

Xie Ai? Xie Ai!

What position was he before, from a scribe in Liangzhou, he was promoted out of the ordinary, that is, a Xinping county magistrate. He was immediately transferred to the chief secretary of Jingbian, and later he was promoted to the chief secretary of Xiazhou, all of whom were partial auxiliary officials. Moreover, the time to join this camp is relatively shortest compared to your colleagues. At present, everyone is thinking about it, and they never imagined that the commander of the southern battalion, and even the future post of Liangzhou assassin, would fall on such a little-known backward person!

He Cheng only felt that a stream of blood rushed to the top of his head, he couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to stand up and say a few words in his heart, when another person snatched it out in front of him, saluted Gao Yue, and said loudly: "Lord Qi!" The post of commander of the battalion in the south is related to the military victory or defeat of our army in the south, and even whether it can successfully control Liangzhou in the future. ”

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Shi Wangkai, the new governor of Yongzhou. This person has a straightforward temperament, speaks when he has something in his heart, and likes to break the casserole to ask the end, this kind of person has his straightforwardness and cuteness, but to be honest, it is also easier to offend people.

Gao Yue's face sank like water, he didn't speak, and observed coldly. I saw that many people nodded their heads again and again, and several people couldn't help but second. This shows that Wang Kai's doubts are not a certain person, nor a certain group of people, but the vast majority of people.

"Xie Ai, do you have anything to say?"

However, such a reaction is also expected. Gao Yue thought about it, and did not answer Wang Kai and the others directly, but looked at Xie Ai with blazing eyes.

Xie Ai walked quickly to the front of the hall, knelt down respectfully, bowed solemnly, and then straightened up, with a pair of eyes shining on his dark but resolute face. He said excitedly: "To be so valued by the lord, the ministers dare not do their duty." Begging for time, the ministers swallowed Chen An first, and then rejected Li Xiong! ”

"Good! Great! ”

Gao Yue shouted at the case, very happy. He knew that in the past few years, he deliberately put Xie Ai in Saibei to practice, which was still very effective. The windy sand, cold and endless wasteland grasslands in Saibei, and the majesty of the desert sunset, not only strengthened Xie Ai's muscles, broadened his horizons, strengthened his mind, but also gave him great self-confidence and strong ambition. At present, although Xie Ai is still young, he is no longer the novice who was still a little cramped and frightened when he was just brought back to Qinzhou, he is now like he has completed his self-sublimation, and he has really become the real Xie Ai in history, daring to shout out the bold words in his heart in a questioning gaze, and then complete one incredible counterattack after another.

Gao Yue didn't know how Xie Ai was able to do it, but judging from the records of his battle results in the history books, this person must have had an extremely effective and unique method of marching and fighting to capture fighters, so he could repeatedly create miracles. Winning more with less, winning with odds, and never losing are Xie Ai's eye-catching logos.

"Zhongqing is a little confused, this is a reasonable thing." Gao Yue said meaningfully, "But Xie Ai's ability, no one can understand it better than the widow. He should have no problem as the commander of the battalion marching south. Now that the appointment has been made, Xie Ai will do his best to achieve the goal, and Wudu Yang will not be able to fight the enemy, and he should also give full cooperation. Everyone will clean up their doubts and wait and see. However, in order to strictly enforce discipline and prevent orders from going out and going their own way, the widow has to lend Xie Ai one more thing. Zhou Panlong! ”

Zhou Panlong responded to the call, came down the stairs, showed something to everyone to see, and then solemnly handed it over to Xie Ai, who was still kneeling. It turned out to be a five-foot-long yellow copper knot!

Festival General!

Ignoring Gao Yue's face, everyone in the hall was almost boiling, and even Han Yong, who had been cold and silent, couldn't help but look at it with blazing eyes, quite moved and thoughtful.

The monarch lent the talisman that symbolizes the supreme status to the courtiers who led the division to use it for deterrence, so that the order is forbidden, and the generals who accept the talisman are the festival generals. In ancient times, not all generals were qualified to be festival generals, but once they had a rune, it meant that they had corresponding great power. Previously, in the Qin Kingdom, no one had the status of a festival general, even Han Yong, who had always been a superior general, had never held a festival, where did everyone think that Xie Ai would be able to come out on top!

"In the end, Xie Ai was appointed as a holiday, with full authority to command the 30,000 troops in the south. War is about to break out, and if there are people who dare to violate military discipline and disobey discipline, they will be allowed to be cut down first and then played. ”

The "fake" of the false festival is the meaning of lending, temporary agency, indicating that the monarch temporarily lends the festival to his courtiers to exercise power. The sections will generally be divided into four classes. The lowest fourth class is the false festival, and then the upper is the festival, the envoy festival, the different ranks, it represents the corresponding identity and power is different, Gao Yue is currently awarded the Eastern Jin Dynasty court with a very high standard of envoy festival. As for the highest-level false knots, also known as fake yellow yues, they are no longer the norm of human ministers. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was almost an exclusive title when the top ministers of the imperial court went out to fight. Later, who called the false festival, the next step is basically waiting for the Zen position, to change the dynasty.

At that moment, Gao Yue suddenly raised his voice, and said with a straight face: "The official name is not an ordinary person." Xie Ai, it is important to know that the greater the harvest, the greater the responsibility. Qing is in the south, let it go, and the widow will do his best to support you. But if you dare to be negligent, lax, arrogant, and lawless, the widow will surely correct the law and thank the country. Did you know? ”

Xie Ai knew in his heart that because he was young and shallow, Gao Yue used special talismans to increase his weight. Xie Ai bowed deeply, and the great trust, the supreme glory and the lofty ambition to make a contribution brought tears to his eyes with excitement. He raised his head and said impassionedly and firmly: "Minister, you will die for the Lord!" ”

Hanzhong County, South Zhengcheng.

Chen An was wrapped in a felt blanket and half-leaned back in his seat. He frowned in contemplation, and sometimes sniffed. In the past few days, he has had a slight wind chill, in addition to a runny nose, and some fatigue.

Several old subordinates, such as Shi Rong, as well as Jiang Chong'er, Yang Bozhi and several other henchmen, sat around with him, listening to the mastermind Zhao Zhao talking.

“…… Therefore, the current situation is different, and the response is different. Previously, we finally held Hanzhong and Weixing two counties in our hands, and we were about to use this as a basis to develop Xu Tu and take refuge in Chengguo, which was originally an expedient measure, so we did everything possible to prevaricate and refuse to send someone to Chengguo to take over. But at the moment, it is reported that Gao Yue has already set up a camp to conquer the south, isn't it just for us? Since you can't resist it at that time, it is better to take the initiative to dedicate the second county to Li Xiong now, lead the disaster to him, and let Cheng Jun and Qin Jun fight to the death. ”

Chen An's nose was blocked, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "The words of the military advisor are very reasonable. It's been a few years of hatred, but Gao Yue still doesn't want to let me go. I have been wronged by the weakness of my forces, otherwise I would not have feared him! Hum. After complaining twice, Chen An asked again: "So according to the military advisor, what should we do now?" ”

"The lord can immediately repair a letter to Li Xiong, and it doesn't hurt to say more flattering good words, saying that we are willing to dedicate the land of the two counties to him, and ask him to send someone to take it over, and at the same time ask him to grant Yongchang or Jianning Taishou, anyway, just go to the south. Then," Zhao Zhao stroked his long beard lightly, and said confidently: "Then it depends on him Cheng and Qin, who wins and who loses." If the Qin army is defeated, we can also breathe a sigh of relief, and if the army is defeated, it is also a good thing, and then we will take the opportunity to cede land in the south and stand on our own. ”

"That's right! The military advisor is really resourceful and well-spoken! Shi Rong was excited, "At that time, the Qin army is still far away from us, and since the defeat of the Cheng army will inevitably be a loss of vitality, then the lord will be called the king and the emperor, and no one can manage us anymore!" ”

Jiang Chong'er patted his thigh and said, "Close the door, let's be the master of our own house, why bother looking at other people's faces every day like now!" Okay, okay, I wish he Li Xiong had been defeated by Gao Yue earlier. ”

Chen An's heart was also moved. Chaowen said, Xi can die. Even if you can't rule the world, then it's worth it to be the king of a corner. A manly man, if he doesn't fight for fame, what face does he have in the world?

Chen An blew his nose vigorously, slapped the table, and was about to make a loud statement, but unexpectedly, a herald ran in from outside the door, and reported in person: "General! Our army scouts have discovered that a large Qin army has entered our Hanzhong territory, and it is menacing. Looking at its scale, it is estimated that there are at least 30,000 people. When the scouts came, the Qin army had reached the area of Pingmu Town, more than a hundred miles away, and seemed to be resting in place for the time being. ”

Chen An stood up abruptly and said in a lost voice: "So many people, are they coming so fast?" ”

Several subordinates also became solemn and stood up in unison. Thousands of calculations, not counting the speed of the people's march, since the Qin army has entered the boundary of Hanzhong County and is not far from Nanzheng City, the current situation is a little urgent. Zhao Zhao hurriedly said: "The lord can immediately send someone to Chengguo for help." Pingkou General Li Feng is not far from us, let him send troops first, by the way, and Zitong Taishou Li Zhi is not in Baishui City, but it is the closest, you can also send him a letter. ”

Chen An nodded speechlessly, feeling a little hot, he tore off the tightly wrapped felt blanket, paced back and forth a few steps, and hurriedly asked, "...... Did you find out who the commander of the Qin army is, but Han Yong? ”

The herald shook his head, and before he could answer, Chen An exhaled and said, "It's good if it's not Han Yong." So, is it Hu Song? ”

The herald shook his head, and before he could answer, Chen An exhaled again, and his face softened a little: "Very good!" Among the generals of the Qin army, in addition to Han Yong, it is Hu Song. As long as these two leaders don't come, the rest are either brave and ruthless or vain, and they don't care about it at all. Pass my orders, gather all the men and horses, and go with this general to meet the enemy. Eh, why don't you answer, who is the commander of the Qin army? ”

The herald smiled bitterly, but shook his head like a rattle, and finally said, "The commander of the Qin army is called Xie Ai." ”

"Thanks for what? Xie Ai? …… Which one is Shay? ”

Chen An was stunned, kept blinking, and even forgot to blow the snot that flowed down, but he couldn't remember where this Xie Ai came from. He turned around and saw several subordinates, all with blank faces.
