Wang Shichong glanced at the five people quietly, everyone was expectant, his eyes were full of eagerness, he sat back on his marching bed, and said calmly: "Why don't you ask Marshal Shi in person in the marshal's tent?" ”

Sima Dekan, who was full of meat, said "Hi": "General Wang, don't wait around the bend with me, this southern expedition, our brothers are all coming for you General Wang, these years we have been standing guard in the Xiaoguo Army all day long, no military merits, seeing that the other generals have all been promoted, but we still stay put, this is anxious, thanks to this time General Wang, you remember me and General Duan, and got us out, whether we can go further, it all depends on this time." Isn't it, old Duan. ”

Duan Da's face is more than eight years ago, there is a three-inch scar on the forehead, which was left in Xingxingxia back then, Wang Shichong always felt that he owed Duan Da a favor back then, after returning from the Turks last time, he gave him more than 100,000 yuan in the past few years, and this time it was the first one who thought of taking him out to mix up military merits.

Duan Da glared at Sima Dekan, as if he was not very satisfied with him telling his details in front of Feng Xiaoci, Liu Quan and others, but the words had already reached this point, so he could only turn to Wang Shichong and nodded: "What Brother Sima said is the truth, General Wang, you also know that our Sergeant Xiaoguo is a royal guard, unless there is a big war, there is no chance to come out to fight and gain merit, whether you can make a move to Lu Shang this time, you will all count on the battle of Ningzhou." ”

Wang Shichong was about to speak, but suddenly thought of the majestic sea he encountered at the archery racecourse two years ago, so he asked, "Old Duan." Do you have an officer named Xiong Kuohai in your Xiaoguo army? Thirty or so. A strong man with a purple face and a long beard. ”

Duan Da nodded: "Not bad." There is such a person, even in the Xiaoguo Army, is also a well-known fierce general, he is a native of Bingzhou, five years ago when he was selected into the Xiaoguo Army when the army competed, he was a general in the palace under me, the year before last when the county lord of Daning officially came out of the cabinet to marry Gao Biaoren, the third son of Gao Servant, the emperor specially approved him and his squad of twenty Xiaoguo guards to go to the county lord as a guard. Now his establishment is still in the Xiaoguo Army, but he is in the Gao Servant Shooting Mansion, what's the matter, General Wang, do you know him? ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "I had a relationship, I was very impressed, I heard that two years ago he injured Yang Xuangan, the prince of Yueguo, what happened to him?" ”

Duan Da's brows furrowed: "This matter was widely known in the capital back then, General Wang, don't you know the way?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "I happened to be out of town when this happened, and I only heard someone say this after returning to the city, and I was concerned about Yang Shizi and Gao Junma at that time." When I saw you and Brother Sima today, I suddenly remembered this majestic sea. He should be back to the Xiaoguo Army now, I knew that Lu Dao should bring him this time. ”

Duan Da shook his head: "He is not in the Xiaoguo Army now, after the accident that year, it was handed over to me to deal with, originally Gao Servant shot him for a big crime of leading a brawl and threatening people's lives, not only beat him with twenty military sticks, but also prepared to remove him from the army and go to prison for the crime, but after Yang Shizi woke up, he heard that it was the result of this punishment, and actually said that this Xiong Kuohai was a good man, and it was a pity to be expelled from the army like this, and he personally pleaded with Gao Servant Shooting, and asked him to open the net and let him bring the group of sergeants to the Yue Guo Mansion as a guard, Accompany him to practice boxing and martial arts every day.

After that incident, Yang Shizi and Gao Jun Ma both gave the two adults a few years of grounding at home, and the ban has not been lifted until now, Gao Jun Ma is a scholar, and this time there is no need for Xiaoguo Army to be a guard at home, and Yang Shizi is a natural general, if no one accompanies him to practice martial arts at home, he will be suffocated to death, so Gao Servant shot after asking the emperor, he specially approved Yang Shizi's request, Xiong Kuohai is now a captain of the guard in the Yue Guo Mansion as the captain of the Liupin Fengche Du, General Wang, I'm afraid that even if you have the intention this time, It is impossible to transfer him out to fight. ”

Wang Shichong said softly, slightly disappointed in his heart, after he saw a hero like Xiong Kuohai that day, he had the heart to make friends, but unfortunately he was preempted by Yang Xuangan, but his face was still calm, and he said: "Just ask casually." Just now, Lao Duan and Sima asked about the next task, and I will also reveal it to you here, don't spread it. ”

Wang Shichong glanced at everyone's face full of expectations and held his breath, glanced at the door, and said in a low voice: "Everyone can see it today, His Royal Highness the King of Shu also intends to come out to grab credit." ”

Feng Xiaoci said hatefully: "The King of Shu is really, what kind of birdman did he send, I think that the surname Wan can go to the battlefield, eighty percent is his prostitution." ”

Liu Quan hurriedly poked Feng Xiaoci: "Xiaoci, be cautious!" Feng Xiaoci stopped his mouth at this time, and did not say the more ugly words below.

Liu Quan looked at Wang Shichong and said: "General Wang, we can all see this matter, just now I was afraid that Marshal Shi kept you down to discuss this matter, but you just persuaded Marshal Shi to have a good relationship with the King of Shu?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "General Liu, how do you know the Dao?" ”

Liu Quan sighed: "General Wang has always understood the general situation and takes the overall situation into account, if you don't do this, it will be strange." A few days ago, when we were discussing this Pingnan, everyone was still thinking about playing the vanguard and winning the knighthood in the battle formation, this time in order to satisfy the King of Shu, we had to change to the guard? ”

Wang Shichong's heart is bright, among these people, only Liu Quan's brain is the best, and he can be called a handsome talent, presumably Liu Quan is afraid of his own merits, so he pulled everyone to his account to ask himself, so his next explanation needs to be cautious, at least to make this Liu Quan satisfied.

So Wang Shichong's face became solemn, and he nodded: "The specific has not yet been decided, but the previous strategy of letting the Shu soldiers be responsible for the grain route and logistics, and my Guanzhong army fighting all the way is obviously impossible to implement, otherwise if the King of Shu makes a bad mistake in the back and withholds the military rations, the army in front of us will run out of food and will all collapse." ”

Liu Quan followed closely and said: "That is, we are going to use Shu soldiers to quell the rebellion, so that we, the elite of Guanzhong, will guard the grain road behind?" In this case, what are we going to do here, just levy Shu soldiers on the spot, do we still need a large army to come thousands of miles? As soon as these words came out, the other four people all looked solemn and looked at Wang Shichong in unison.

Wang Shichong stood up, walked to the door, and said to Zhang Jincheng, who was guarding the door: "Jin Cheng, I have important matters to discuss with several generals, and the guards are all far away, thirty steps away, and don't let others approach." Zhang Jin said that he was ordered to leave.

Wang Shichong walked back into the tent, sat back on the Hu bed, looked at Liu Quan's eyes, and said: "Actually, I think now that it is not necessarily a bad thing for us to guard the grain in this situation. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Quan's eyes, and he immediately asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Shichong said calmly: "Today, Marshal Shi and His Royal Highness the King of Shu have turned their faces publicly, because our army's logistics supply and grain transportation all depend on the King of Shu, it can be said that he holds the lifeline of our army, if you want to make it bad and withhold military rations, then we will all starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests of Ningzhou."

Just now I discussed with Shi Dashuai, we can't let the Shu soldiers guard the grain road as before, and the Guanzhong army takes the lead, but implement a mixed formation, the Shu soldiers have soldiers and no generals, and we, the twenty generals in Guanzhong, should be dispersed to various armies when the time comes, and each person will serve as the sub-commander of the march, with one or two thousand sergeants.

As for that Wan Zhiguang, I'm afraid that he will go to the bottom with Shi Dashuai, and only this method can keep the King of Shu from doing tricks in the back, what he wants is that Wan Zhiguang to get military merits, which is equivalent to his own military merits, and he will not harm us with this merit. ”

Liu Quan nodded: "We can understand this, but who is the one who guards the grain road?" Is that the kind of us? General Wang, everyone came here because they believed in you, and if we could only guard the grain road in the back, it would be better not to come. We have no opinion on the mix, but we can't just let the five of us guard the grain road, and I hope that General Wang can come forward to help us fight for Shi Dashuai. (To be continued......)
