Xu Yu sat quietly at the door of the inner tent, and the war knife that split the big fight in half with a knife was horizontal on his knee. He still blames himself for his mistakes, and always feels that Liu Xiu's injury is his responsibility. Wang Zhi and Luo Yao sat beside Liu Xiu left and right, Wang Zhi's silver needle had been inserted into Liu Xiu's body, but Liu Xiu still didn't react at all, lying there, not moving, his face was red for a while, white for a while, and terrifyingly green for a while.

Outside the tent, Yan Zhong, Xun You, Han Sui and Xiahou Yuan sat in groups, their faces were melancholy, Xiahou Yuan lowered his head in shame, and said nothing, Fu Xie put his hands behind his back, like an angry bull pacing back and forth in the big tent, he just came from Ji County, after hearing about Liu Xiu's assassination, he scolded Xiahou Yuan with his head and face, and after the stinky Xiahou Yuan scolded Xun You and Han Sui, Yan Zhong was older, he was not embarrassed to scold, but the meaning of those words was very clear, and the biggest responsible person was you Yan Zhong. They can't persuade the general, you have the most authority in front of the general, why don't you persuade the general? He is a dignified chariot general, this is a war, not in Youchun, the chariot general who commanded tens of thousands of troops actually left the army with the personal guard battalion, what is going on?

Even if there are 5,000 people in the guard battalion.

Yan Zhong's face was very embarrassed, and he blamed himself, but now that the matter has happened, scolding people can't solve the problem, and how to solve the problem is the most important thing at the moment.

Yan Zhong coughed: "There are two things at the moment, one is how to heal the general, and the other is whether to carry out this mission as planned. ”

"What else are you fighting?" Fu Xie said angrily: "If the general is seriously injured, everything is empty talk, even if the Qiang people are pacified?" He glanced at everyone fiercely: "Don't say anything else, if you want to fight, who is the main general?" It's Han Sui. Or Xiahou Yuan? ”

Yan Zhong was a little unhappy, he raised his head and looked at Fu Xie: "Nanrong, I know you are in a hurry, but you can't solve the problem in a hurry, can you sit down, if you have any high opinions, just say it, let's discuss it." And not cold words. ”

Fu Xie glared at Yan Zhong angrily, Yan Zhong looked back at him with a sinking face, and neither of them spoke.

"Alright, all right, all sit down, all sit down." Xun You opened his mouth to play a round game, got up and pulled Fu Xie to the table and sat down, he forced a laugh: "I'll give you an opinion first." The general was injured, but his breath was quite stable, and with Wang Luo and the two Taoist elders healing, it might be fine. I've also checked the trauma just now, but it's just some flesh wounds. ”

The voice did not fall. Wang Zhi walked out of the inner tent and said with a look of shame: "I have tried my best, but the general's condition has not improved at all. With my medical skills, I can't do anything. ”

Xun You opened his mouth and closed his mouth tightly. He glanced at the others, all of whom, like him, had very ugly faces. They all admired Wang Zhi's medical skills. If Wang Zhi can't do anything, who else can cure him? Is it just resignation?

Yan Zhong slowly twisted his fingers, and his gaze swept over Xun You and the others one by one. Slowly opened his mouth: "If this is the case, then let's still Guanzhong, and immediately send a letter to His Royal Highness the King of Chu and tell him about the general." His voice was low, even with a hint of frustration. He originally thought that with Wang Zhi and Luo Yao, two Taoist priests, Liu Xiu would not be in any big trouble and would wake up soon, but Wang Zhi's words made him realize that things might be far from being so simple.

If Liu Xiu ...... An ominous cloud of doubt rose in Yan Zhong's heart, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Xun You nodded and agreed, and Han Sui nodded and agreed. Xiahou Yuan hesitated for a moment, stopped talking, and finally nodded. Fu Xie didn't say a word, nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone agreed, Yan Zhong raised his hand and was about to speak, when Meng Da, who had been listening to the side, suddenly spoke:

"Captain Xiahou, have you forgotten what the general said before he fell into a coma?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Meng Da's face at once, and then on Xiahou Yuan's face. Fu Xie was anxious, and he didn't care about waiting for Yan Zhong to ask, so he blurted out, "What did the general say?" ”

Xiahou Yuan recounted the situation at that time, Fu Xie, Yan Zhong and the others looked at each other, confused, the words "by you" can represent a lot of meanings, what exactly does Liu Xiu want to say?

"Miaocai, what do you think the general meant at that time?"

Xiahou Yuan's face turned red and he squeaked and refused to speak. He felt that Liu Xiu felt that something was wrong, and he wanted him to take charge of the military, but after taking charge of the military, would he continue to attack, or should he immediately withdraw the army? He didn't know. And there are Yan Zhong and Fu Xie here, as well as Han Sui, if he says it, will these Xiliang people think that he wants to seize power?

Meng Da saw it, and then said: "The general is here to solve the affairs of the Qiang people, he has been preparing for this for more than half a year, Captain Jia is already on the way, even if he wants to withdraw the army, it is too late, we will withdraw rashly, then Captain Jia is alone, and it is likely to be in danger." ”

"You know what?" Fu Xie interrupted him: "The general looks like this, can he still fight?" ”

Meng Da was reprimanded by Fu Xie, but he continued: "The general is injured, but he is not dead. Even if he had to recuperate for a while, or even if he had to do something, would he have no regrets if he knew that the war had been delayed because of this? The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. The general can't command, and you're still there, as long as the general's plan is drawn up in advance, the big and small elm valleys can be broken, and the Qiang chaos can be determined, and there will be no major war in Liangzhou for at least ten years in the future. Such a good opportunity was prepared by the general with great effort, how could he just give it up? ”

He straightened up and choked: "I think that when the general said those two words, he meant that Captain Xiahou was in charge of the war. ”

"Why do you say that he is the one who presides over the war? He had just caused the general to be wounded, and you don't forget, those people were attacking him in the first place. Fu Xie was confronted by Meng Da in front of him, and he became angry for a while, and retorted sharply: "Huangkou Shaft, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Nanrong!" Yan Zhong was furious, raised his voice, and his face became stern. Fu Xie was stunned and closed his mouth in disdain.

Meng Da lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

Yan Zhong exhaled, stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had become firm: "I believe this is the general's original intention." This war has reached this level, and we can't give up halfway, otherwise the general's efforts for more than half a year will be in vain. ”

Xun You nodded and said, "I agree." ”

Han Sui also nodded, but did not speak.

Xiahou Yuan nodded in agreement without hesitation, and after a while, he hurriedly said, "I just agree to continue the discussion, but I have no other meaning." ”

"No, the general meant. It should be you in charge. Yan Zhong looked directly at Xiahou Yuan: "Since we have all agreed that it is the general's intention to continue the campaign, the meaning of the word 'by you' is very clear, the general will think that you are the main general and be responsible for the entire war." ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at Han Sui and felt a little embarrassed. Han Sui grimaced and didn't say a word. He originally wanted to compete with Xiahou Yuan for this main general, but Yan Zhong opened his mouth, and he couldn't refute it face to face, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't want to make a fuss at Xiahou Yuan.

"I ...... Also agreed. Fu Xie hesitated. He exchanged a look with Yan Zhong and nodded.

"Since everybody says so. Then I naturally agreed. Han Sui barely squeezed out a smile and stood up: "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll retire for the time being." After speaking, he lifted the inner tent and looked at Liu Xiu, turned around and went out.

Yan Zhong's eyes flashed, he waved his hand, and said undoubtedly: "That's it." Gongda, Nanrong, you continue to march with Miaocai, and Wen Yue and I escort the general back to Ji County. Then go all the way back to Guanzhong. ”

Xun You and the others nodded in agreement, and then Yan Zhong arranged the relevant affairs, and then got up to pay the bill.

Xiahou Yuan was the last to leave, he looked at Meng Da, nodded, and walked out quickly. Meng Da let out a long sigh of relief, and the hand that had been clenched loosened, revealing deep nail marks in his palm.

After Yan Zhong left the main tent, he did not return to his big tent, and went straight to the outside of Han Sui's camp. He was one of the most trustworthy people around Liu Xiu, and he was a famous man in Xiliang, Han Sui's guards did not dare to stop him, but instead nodded and saluted him. Yan Zhong came to Han Sui's tent, stretched out his hand to lift the tent door, and smelled a strong smell of wine, and couldn't help frowning and coughing.

Han Sui was drinking alcohol, and when he heard Yan Zhong's voice, he glanced sideways and did not get up to greet him as usual.

Yan Zhong walked in, glanced at the messy case, and sank his face: "Wenyue, you are in your early forties, why are you still so confused?" ”

Han Sui glanced at Yan Zhong with slanted eyes, and smiled gloomily: "Although I am not confused when I am over the years, what is the use, I am just a mere Taishou now." I waited for a long time for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but just because of that little vertical word, it slipped away from my hand. ”

"You're foolish enough." Yan Zhong sneered, looked around, didn't find anything suitable, picked up the three-person foot basin-shaped wine venerable on the case, poured all the wine of the small half venerable on Han Sui's head, and then threw the wine venerable on the ground, and shouted: "I'll make you sober up, otherwise the four words of this Jincheng Taishou will become your monument sooner or later." ”

Han Sui was caught off guard, and was drenched all over his face at once, he jumped up violently, and looked at Yan Zhong with a face of wine. Yan Zhong's eyes widened: "It's not clear yet, do you want another basin of cold water?" ”

Han Sui snorted, frightened by Yan Zhong, he didn't dare to make a fuss, just looked at Yan Zhong aggrievedly. Yan Zhong said that the four words Jincheng Taishou would be engraved on his stele, which means that he has become an official in his life, which makes him no longer dare to be presumptuous. Otherwise, even if Liu Xiu wanted to promote him, Yan Zhong would be able to reduce it to naught with a word.

"Sir, what are you...... What is this for? ”

"What are you doing to keep you sober." Yan Zhong sat down and pointed at Han Sui, "You sit down for me, I don't want to understand, I'm not allowed to change my clothes." ”

Han Sui was very depressed, so he had to sit down again and arch his hand: "Sui is ignorant, please ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Well, that's like a sentence." Yan Zhong hooked his finger to Cheng Gongying, Han Sui's personal attendant next to him, and Cheng Gongying hurriedly handed over a pair of bamboo chopsticks with both hands. Yan Zhong took it in his hand, paused on the case, took the wine glass presented by Cheng Gongying, and took a sip: "Let me ask you, after Liangzhou is pacified, where will the general's troops point?" ”

Han Sui rolled his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally said sullenly: "Jingzhou! ”

"Then do you want to go to the Jingzhou battlefield to make meritorious contributions?"

Han Sui understood, and his face turned red.

Han Sui is not a stupid person, and now Liu Xiu's subordinates are divided into four forces, and the state system, the Liangzhou system, the Yizhou system and the Kanto system. Among them, the strongest is the Liangzhou system, Yan Zhong and Jia Xu are already the two most authoritative of Liu Xiu's advisers, Jia Xu is actually sitting in the Liangzhou system on behalf of Liu Xiu, and the Liangzhou department is also the strongest among the generals, and the first to enter Liu Xiu's sphere of influence and the Yizhou system that has just been included in Liu Xiu's bag are difficult to match.

And the weakest is the Kanto system, the representatives of the warriors of the Kanto system are Zhao Yun and Xiahou Yuan, and the representatives of the strategists are the uncles and nephews of the Xun family. Liu Xiu's first reaction when he took Yizhou was to let Yan Zhong sit in Yizhou, which was enough to show Liu Xiu's trust in the people of Liangzhou.

However, no matter how much Liu Xiu trusts them, he must also talk about a balance, if the Liangzhou department is dominant, then Liu Xiu will next impose certain restrictions on the Liangzhou department, and try to give the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to others.

Pacifying the chaos was just an appetizer for Liu Xiu, and his eyes were always in the east. After taking Yizhou, he began to sort out the Yizhou water division, why? Because he wants to rely on the Yizhou sailor to go down the river, take Jingzhou, and take Yangzhou.

There are still many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future, so why limit your eyes to the big and small elm valleys? It is very easy for Yan Zhong to help Han Sui fight for this opportunity, with his prestige, coupled with Fu Xie, I believe that Xiahou Yuan will definitely not be able to compete with Liu Xiu. But what next? If Liu Xiu knew that the people of Liangzhou were in a group and excluded others, could he still be so relieved of the people of Liangzhou? He went out for a walk alone with Xiahou Yuan this time, why didn't he want to show his respect for Xiahou Yuan in front of everyone.

If Han Sui becomes the chief general this time, not only will he lose the opportunity to fight with Liu Xiu, but the entire Liangzhou people will be restricted.

Not to mention that Meng Da would not dare to lie, even if Liu Xiu didn't say this, he should have done it. Yan Zhong had already figured it out, and Fu Xie immediately reacted, so they all nodded in agreement, only Han Sui didn't react. Not only did he not react at the time, but he also drank sullen wine after returning to the camp.

This reaction is not one step or two steps behind, it can be said that it cannot be counted in the Dao. Yan Zhong poured wine on his face, it was light, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was from Liangzhou and the relationship had always been good, Yan Zhong could have ignored him, waited for him to make a big mistake, and then watched him laugh, maybe he could make Liu Xiu a good impression.
