I have to say that Yu Liang really underestimated Su Jun, Zu Yue, and Guo Mo, as soon as the three of them received Yu Liang's order, they guessed that the imperial court intended to cut off the military power of the three towns of Huainan.

Xuyi City, in the Linhuai Inner History Mansion, Su Jun stared at the document in front of him with a gloomy face, and the words written on it: The words "Dasi Nongjia Sanqi Chang Shi" looked so dazzling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The brothers Su Yi and Changshi Xu Wei, who sat at the bottom, also had a bad look, in their opinion, the so-called addition of officials to the knighthood was just to earn the eldest brother and the lord back to Jianye.

"Big brother, the court's motives for this move are not pure!" Su Yi said worriedly.

"Lord, this must be a ghost made by Yu Yuangui, this person has no other skills, but he is quite good at fighting for power and profit. I heard that in order to control the government, even Lord Situ was excluded by him. ”

"Humph! Yu Yuangui can't control the exclusion of others, but he dares to break ground on Lao Tzu's head, so don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless. ”

Looking at Su Jun, whose eyes were as fierce as a hungry wolf, Xu Wei persuaded: "Lord, don't act rashly. Now that the imperial court has just put down the Wang Dun Rebellion, the momentum is flourishing, and it is absolutely not suitable to openly break with the imperial court at this moment. ”

"What do you mean, Lord Changshi? Is it possible for my brother to give up the right to send troops? Su Yi said angrily.

"Of course, we can't give up our military power, otherwise we can only be reduced to fish and meat on the chopping board of the imperial court and let it be slaughtered."

Xu Wei was naturally not stupid enough to persuade Su Jun to give up his military power and enter Jianye, but he also did not advocate openly offending the imperial court.

He thought for a while and explained to Su Jun: "My lord, we have offended King Yan before, if we offend the imperial court again, once we are declared a rebel by the imperial court, I am afraid that it will not only be the imperial army that will enter Huainan to quell the rebellion." ”

"The Yan army on the north bank of the Huai River will not miss the opportunity to take Huainan completely, once the Yan army moves south, I am afraid that a big disaster will come."

Hearing Xu Wei mention Yan Guo, Su Yi, who was clamoring to emulate Wang Dun just now, was suddenly deflated, Yan Guo is a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads, and no one knows when this sharp sword will cut off everyone's heads.

Su Jun's face was also ugly, and he still had a little friendship with Wei Shuo. At that time, he was still evacuated from Qingzhou to Jiangdong through the Yan Guoshui Division, and later purchased a lot of weapons and armor from the Laoshan Trading Company. However, as his ambitions swelled day by day, he drifted away from Wei Shuo, and today he has long been a stranger.

Unless he immediately surrendered to the Huai Kingdom, Su Jun didn't think that King Yan would generously let him live.

Su Jun never thought that the imperial court would cross the river and tear down the bridge so quickly. Last year, he was also a hero of the counterinsurgency, but this year he has become a henchman of the imperial court in the blink of an eye.

Knowing that he shouldn't have helped the imperial court defeat Wang Dun's rebels in the first place, Su Jun felt a little remorse in his heart. It's just that it's too late to regret it now, and I can only think of some remedies as soon as possible.

"In the past, the king of Qin, the Son of Heaven and I held hands, let me go north to the Yan Kingdom, and the earnest teaching is still in my ears. However, who knows that Yu Zhongshu listens to slander in vain, regards a certain as a problem for his henchmen, and wants to get rid of it quickly. But I, Su Jun, will never rebel against the court, just I'll go to the Son of Heaven to plead, please have a foothold and serve the country! ”

Although Su Jun was annoyed that the imperial court crossed the river and demolished the bridge, as Xu Wei said, now that the imperial court had just pacified Wang Dun's prestige, it was not a wise choice to venture against the imperial court.

"Lord, if you want to make trouble, you can't make trouble alone, presumably at this time, Zu Yue and Guo Mo also received the same order, you should join forces with the other two feudal towns in Huainan to make trouble together. In this way, it can not only strengthen the momentum, let the court have scruples, but also make the court not hold the public accountable after the fact. ”

After listening to Xu Wei's suggestion, Su Jun bowed slightly, and then he immediately repaired the book and sent it to Guangling and Huainan, inviting Guo Mo and Su Jun to fight against the suppression from the imperial court.

Soon, Su Jun, together with Zu Yue and Guo Mo, refused to go to Jianye for various reasons, and at the same time, in order to prevent the imperial court from dealing with Huainan, the three formed an alliance and greatly expanded their forces, trying to support their own troops.

Not to mention the turbulent Huainan, just say that after Yan Wang Weishuo set the plan for the westward expedition, the Yan country began to prepare for the westward expedition, first of all, all kinds of materials began to gather in the northwest, and at the same time, the troops were also being mobilized.

Since King Yan will personally conquer the Western Regions, generals from all walks of life have applied to the Privy Council to accompany him. In the face of the generals asking for war, the Privy Council has a headache, and how is it not clear about the thoughts of the generals? In addition to wanting to go to the battlefield to make credit, most of them want to take the opportunity to go out and have a close contact with His Royal Highness King Yan.

After all, not every general can be fortunate enough to follow King Yan on the expedition, especially as the Yan Kingdom becomes stronger and stronger, the opportunity for King Yan to conquer in the future will naturally become less and less, and many generals hope to seize this rare opportunity in front of them.

The Privy Council was soon overwhelmed by snowflakes of applications, but the palms and backs of the hands were full of meat, and Gao Zhan, Wen Qiao, Lu Chang and other high-level Privy Councillors did not know which general to let go on the expedition, and in the end they could only throw the problem to Wei Shuo to solve.

After Wei Shuo received the reports from Gao Zhan and Wen Qiao, he also felt that the problem was thorny, he didn't expect that his personal expedition would cause such trouble.

Well?! It can't be said to be troublesome, after all, what is the reason for management, it is always a good thing that the generals are not afraid of war and dare to fight.

"What do you think?" Wei Shuo didn't directly say what he thought, but asked Wen Qiao and Gao Zhan.

After Wen Qiao and Gao Zhan glanced at each other, Wen Qiao finally stood up and said: "King, the minister thinks that it is a good thing for the generals to ask for battle, and it is best to recruit some generals from the middle to join the army, so as not to dampen everyone's enthusiasm." ”

Speaking of this, Wen Qiao's voice changed, "However, considering the pressure of border defense in various places, and the fact that meritorious generals should not make great contributions to avoid being unsealed, the Privy Council believes that this battle should be dominated by newly promoted generals. ”

Wei Shuo bowed slightly, he thought that the Privy Council's concerns were very correct. Take Beigong Chun, Mao Bao, Duan Wenyang and others as examples, they have all made great achievements, but new generals such as Ran Zhan, Xun Guanniang, Suo Bao, Deng Yue, and Zhou Fu lack meritorious opportunities.

"Well, Taizhen has thought it through, this western expedition may be the last large-scale expedition of the Yan army, and under the condition of ensuring that it does not affect the combat strength of the army, we must give young generals and new generals opportunities as much as possible."

With Wei Shuo's final decision, the Privy Council transferred generals from all over the country, such as Beigong Chun, Xie Ai, Yao Yizhong, Duan Wenyang and other generals who had made great achievements in the past, and they were not transferred. On the contrary, most of the generals who had not had many opportunities to perform before, such as Fu Hong, Ran Zhan, Xun Guanniang, Yao Lan, Yao Yisheng, Suo Bao, etc., were appointed.

……

On the newly established grassland of Bazhou, Xun Guanniang, who had just received an order from the Privy Council, was bidding farewell to her master Shao Yuniang.

Shao Yuniang carefully read the Privy Council order in her hand over and over again, until she had a full cup of tea, and then raised her eyes to look at her proud disciple.

"Guan Niang, this expedition to the west is the first time you have left your master to lead the troops alone, you must be cautious."

Xun Guanniang said confidently: "Please rest assured, master, the apprentice has followed your old man to learn the art of war for many years, isn't it just for today's day?" This time, the apprentice must be like the master at the beginning, make great contributions, and then become famous all over the world. ”

"You, you are always so reckless and competitive, don't forget that this time, in order to train newcomers, the Privy Council transferred many young generals from all over the Yan Kingdom. I heard that Yang Zhan, the governor of Shuozhou, and other subordinates who were known for their bravery, were also among them, as well as Suo Bao, who was fighting against Fu Hong at the head of Guzang City. ”

"From the perspective of force alone, you may not be able to defeat these two people, it's not easy to be brilliant!"

Shao Yuniang is not very optimistic about this trip, after all, the current situation is different from when she was rampant in the world a few years ago, when there was a shortage of talents under the command of King Yan, and the only generals who could get their hands on it were her husband Liu Yao, Duan Wenyang, Sun Wei, Nengchen and a few others.

Otherwise, King Yan would not have given her the power to command the army in a hurry, which gave her the opportunity to become famous in the world.

Now there are many talents under the command of King Yan, not to mention Beigong Chun, Duan Wenyang, Liu Yao, Mao Bao, Ji Tang, Wei Xiong and other generals of the older generation with outstanding military achievements, just say that Fu Hong, Yao Yizhong, Yang Hu, Xie Ai, Jia Jian, Xue Tao and other Mesozoic generals have fully grown up, plus new generals such as Suo Bao and Xun Guanniang, as well as talents such as Ran Zhan, Deng Yue, Zhou Fu and other talents.

There are countless generals in the entire Yan Kingdom who can go into battle to kill the enemy, and in this case, Xun Guanniang should not be as easy as her to get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. (To be continued.) )
