Wang Shichong's heart "Geden" for a moment, although he had long known that Yang Xiu was a fierce and tyrannical man who played cards out of common sense, but he didn't expect to be arrogant to such an extent, he had to be unforgiving, and he fought for three points unreasonably.

Sure enough, Shi Wansui was so angry that his long beard floated without wind, and he said loudly: "King, according to the military system of our dynasty, as a Shangzhu country, you have the right to open the government, but it does not mean that you can privately confer the position of a general above the fifth grade, even if you want to promote this Wan, Mr. Wan as a general, you should also write to the Ministry of War, and only after getting the emperor's approval and the appointment of the Ministry of War, how can you directly give the position of a general at this kind of banquet, and let an internal servant be in charge of the army of 20,000 alone?" This kind of thing is rumored to be there, where is the prestige of my Great Sui Army? ”

Yang Xiu sneered: "Hmph, General Shi, the military prestige of my Great Sui comes from my Great Sui's Iron Army, and you are not the only one who can fight in the world, General Shi, but my inner servant Wan Zhiguang, who has also rebelled and fought in Bashu, why can't he lead troops to the battle?"

Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, who you just kept saying, is just a standard literati, he can't ride a horse, he can only sit in a four-wheeled car, such a person can't still lead troops deep into Nanzhong, seven captures of Meng Shu, there is a kind of person called Confucian general, don't you understand? ”

Shi Wansui choked so much that he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said angrily: "Even if this Mr. Wan is familiar with military books and has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, but after all, my dynasty has a law, and those who are not generals are not allowed to lead the troops. This is really not in line with the military system of our DPRK. The emperor will not agree. Please also take back your fate. ”

Yang Xiu said proudly: "The general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it, the king has split the territory and sealed the territory, and the father has granted the king the right to act cheaply in Shu and act arbitrarily, General Shi, your crusade army was sent by the father emperor, and you can't manage it alone." But the 20,000 Shu troops of Lone, who this king is willing to let be the main general, and what official position he is willing to give him, are all Lone's business, do you understand? ”

Wang Shichong saw that the atmosphere was not right, and secretly complained in his heart, this time he did not report the idea of making meritorious contributions to the south, but hoped that more things were better than less. After all, Yang Xiu was also responsible for the grain and grass and logistics transfer in the rear, in case he did something in the back. The army on the front line can only pick wild fruits and eat them in the deep mountains and old forests.

So Wang Shichong hurriedly stood up to play a round and smiled at Shi Wansui: "General Shi, today is a banquet specially set up by His Royal Highness the King of Shu for us, don't talk about official business, don't talk about official business." He quickly stood up again and said to Yang Xiu: "Come, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, thank you for your hospitality today, and I will give you a toast at the end." He drank down the glass of wine in front of him.

Some of Yang Xiu's subordinates sitting on the right side also stood up to play a round and toasted to Shi Wansui, although Yang Xiu and Shi Wansui still hated in their hearts, they were also somewhat sober, and after a few glasses of wine, they also sat back in their seats, but there was no more eye and word communication, and that Wan Zhiguang, after being bored, still sat back in his place.

After Yang Xiu drank a few glasses, he said that he was unwell, so he left the table, and Shi Yuanwen, the governor of Yizhou, came out to replace Yang Xiu to continue to entertain Shi Wansui and others, Shi Wansui didn't talk much, bowed his head and only cared about drinking and eating meat, and after half an hour, he left the Yizhou Governor's Mansion with a group of generals in Pingnan on the grounds of busy military affairs.

Returned to the camp five miles outside the city, Shi Wansui did not speak all the way, and after entering the Chinese military tent, he sat on the handsome seat, his face was as heavy as water, Wang Shichong, Mai Tiezhu, Liu Quan, Yu Juluo, Yu Juzan brothers, Yang Wutong, Feng Xiaoci and other generals who conquered the south this time were all solemn and did not say a word.

After a long time, Shi Wansui slowly opened his mouth: "What do the generals think about today's matter?" ”

The double-eyed Shangkaifu general Yu Juluo was the most irritable, and stood up, when he pacified the Jiangnan Gao Zhizhi Rebellion last time, he was also in the same class as Shi Wansui, and he was the chief general of the first army, but the day before Yang Su set out for the expedition, there was a bombing camp in his rear army, not only suffered dozens of military sticks, but also became an absolute substitute in the entire counterinsurgency operation, and could only guard the grain road or play cover in the back. He is three levels higher than himself.

Fortunately, Shi Wansui and Yu Juluo usually have a good relationship, and they also know that Yu Juluo is a fierce general, and this time when Yu Juluo came to the door to ask for a general, he also gave Shi Wansui a lot of benefits in private, Shi Wansui thought of the old love and brought out the Yu Juluo brothers, and the position among the generals was extremely high, and the military rank and seniority were only inferior to Shi Wansui, Yang Wutong and the two.

I only heard Yu Juluo's loud voice sound: "Shi Dashuai, according to the last general, His Royal Highness the King of Shu really doesn't take our Guanzhong soldiers in his eyes, that kid surnamed Wan, at first glance, is a sissy, only a slushy person, how can this kind of person lead the army as a general, and he is not qualified to join the army, you are right today, we don't listen to him, just lead this 10,000 soldiers to camp out now." ”

Mai Tiezhu, Feng Xiaoci, and Yu Juzan also applauded.

Shi Wansui glanced at the veteran Yang Wutong, who had been silent, and said, "General Yang, what do you think about this?" ”

Yang Wutong is about fifty years old, medium in stature, black face and long beard, he is a Guan Zhonghua Yin people, resolute temperament, skilled in bows and horses, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the general of Zuo Wuwei who guarded the border pass, after entering the Sui Dynasty, he served as the head of the march in Ganzhou and Minzhou many times, and fought against the rebellious Qiang and Tuyuhun, and shocked the side.

However, Yang Wutong also faced the situation that Li Guang was difficult to seal, because the Qiang people later feared him and did not dare to make trouble, and he did not participate in the great wars of destroying Nan Chen, Ping Jiangnan, and fighting the Turks, so after 20 years, he still stood still in the position of a general.

Shi Wansui's father and this person have been friends since childhood, so this time to pacify Ningzhou, Shi Wansui also specially asked for the veteran to be transferred, and he was originally going to take over the 20,000 Shu soldiers as the commander.

Yang Wutong thought for a while and said: "The last general thinks that this time to pacify Ningzhou, logistics supply is the key, His Royal Highness the King of Shu seems to have made up his mind, to hand over the command of this Shu soldier to that Wan Zhiguang, if we have a conflict with His Royal Highness the King of Shu at this time, not only will it not help, but it may make him hold a grudge, if he does something in this logistics supply matter, or slack off or something, then our army will be in trouble in front."

Therefore, the last general thinks that at this time, it is still not appropriate to directly turn his face with His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and he can make some concessions, such as letting Wan Zhiguang command the Shu soldiers as a member of the army, and also take him with him when he joins the military plane, so as to give His Royal Highness the King of Shu a step down, presumably he will do his best to ensure logistics for his 20,000 soldiers, as for other trespasses, Marshal Shi can report to the emperor after returning to the court. ”

Shi Wansui's anger disappeared a little, and nodded: "What General Yang said is very true, just do what you want." In a while, I will send someone to the Yizhou Governor's Mansion to apologize to His Royal Highness the King of Shu and convey this meaning. He glanced at Wang Shichong and said, "Everyone has drunk a lot at today's banquet, so let's go back to the camp to rest first, sort out the equipment, and after meeting with the Shu army tomorrow, the army will pull out the camp and go out." ”

All the generals bowed their hands in unison: "Yes!"

Shi Wansui said: "General Wang, you stay for a while, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

Wang Shichong could guess this when Shi Wansui looked at himself just now, smiled slightly, stood in place, and watched the generals come out of the tent one after another, Shi Wansui sent several of his own personal soldiers out of the tent, and soon, only Shi Wansui and Wang Shichong were left in the tent.

Shi Wansui sighed: "Xingman, you are really right, the most troublesome thing in the Southern Expedition is not the barbarians, but the King of Shu, if you didn't say a word just now, you should have an idea, according to your opinion, how to solve this matter?" (To be continued......)
