According to the Bactrian military system, the promotion from lieutenant to general is equivalent to entering the threshold of growing into a senior general, which is equivalent to a milestone in the promotion of officers. Even so, among the 200,000 elite forbidden troops under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, there are hundreds of commanders and generals with the titles of cavalry generals and vanguard generals, where does the emperor have so much spare time to summon them one by one? Even if the emperor has a very good memory, it is not surprising that he knows three or five or ten people, where can he remember hundreds of faces? Generals at this level, if they have the opportunity to meet the face of heaven on weekdays, they are all regarded as a great honor in their lives. This little-known cavalry general Wang Wenguang, if it weren't for Zhou Ting's hardcore henchman, Zhou Ting would not have entrusted him with an important task at this juncture. If Wang Wenguang was really strongly recommended by the old lieutenant Chen Wenyuan, and the emperor personally summoned Jia En to be promoted, how could he not recognize the emperor?

Although the emperor is eclectic in employing people, he has always been rewarded for his achievements. As the saying goes, you need to be hard to strike iron, otherwise don't say it's Chen Wenyuan, and anyone's face will be blind. Wei Su is the emperor's son and daughter, and he is a lieutenant of the dynasty, and his only son Wei Feiyang must start from a small lieutenant at the beginning of his army. Yang Zhi became famous in a battle, and was presented to the altar overnight, saying that people are not sages, and he is still unconsciously a little arrogant in his heart. But when he led the troops to meet him, he only ordered ten young lieutenants who were usually not very ambitious and did not know each other, but they were quite easy to use. Since last night's incident, Yan Fang, Wei Zhigao, Zhang An and others, who have been trusted and reused by Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, are only junior officers at the level of captain, and their performance is remarkable, and there are few mistakes in words and deeds.

Yang Zhi already had such a feeling in his heart: The Great Xia army is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many talents! If this Wang Wenguang doesn't have a bit of hard real color in his chest, whether it is Chen Wenyuan or the emperor, I am afraid it will be difficult to look at. It is a foregone conclusion that the emperor will return to power, and Wang Wenguang will inevitably rise to become an upstart in the army, and now he must not be underestimated.

The emperor sent a message to summon Wang Wenguang to see him, and Yang Zhi naturally responded to the order. He was already famous and famous, and he had already recognized him as a soldier of the forbidden army. Riding the horse slowly walked out less than a hundred feet, a person hurried forward surrounded by many soldiers. The fire outside the palace gate was bright, and Yang Zhi could see it clearly. almost laughed dumbly, knowing that it must be Wang Wenguang, who was ordered to guard the palace. The person who came was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, five short and not good-looking, if it weren't for the bright armor, he was dressed in the color of an officer's uniform. It's not much different from the usual peddlers and pawns in the market.

Wang Wenguang approached Le Ma and asked, "Is it really the famous Flying Tiger Marquis who has arrived?" The last general, Wang Wenguang, was ordered by General Zhou to lead the troops to guard the interior, and the military order was inconvenient to dismount to greet him, and he begged for forgiveness. The last general has long admired the name of the Flying Tiger Hou, but his fortune is shallow. It has always been a pity that I have not been able to recognize the dignity of the face. Dare to ask Your Excellency, why do you want to come here at night? ”

This person is not very old, and a few words seem to be extremely polite and respectful, but the meaning to be expressed is the same: First, I don't care who you are, I only obey General Zhou's orders. Second, I haven't seen you, I don't know you, and I call you "Your Excellency" instead of "Lord Hou". It's because I haven't confirmed your identity yet. Third, I'm ordered to guard Ouchi, what are you here for?

As early as the twenty-third year of Xia Liwucheng, that is, the year before last, Wang Wenguang had been awarded the title of Xiaocai general. For such a grand event in the army as the selection of generals of the forbidden army last year, how could a general of his level not take a gap to watch the battle? Yang Zhi dared to bet with his head that he had only no formal contact with Wang Wenguang, and Wang Wenguang knew him out of 10,000. The reason why Wang Wenguang deliberately pretended not to know was because he was responsible for whether Shangguan had changed the dynasty. The net worth of the Xiaguan clan is life, where can there be a half-point difference? Your position is unknown, your intentions are unknown, how do I know which side you are on? It is used as an excuse to dig the pit well in advance and wait until the signs are not right. I can let go and fight with you!

Yang Zhi saw through Wang Wenguang's mind at a glance, both understanding and appreciating. Now is not the time to be strong, you are "inconvenient" to get off the horse to greet you, right? Then Lao Tzu is always okay to get off the horse, right? Xia Ma Yu smiled with a pun: "The contemptible person is Yang Zhi, the Marquis of the Qinfeng Flying Tiger." The general's cleverness and dedication to his duties are admirable. The general has a military order and is inconvenient to dismount, although Yang is ordered to summon the general to see the driver. I didn't find it inconvenient. ”

showed the gold medal as usual, and said with a straight color: "It doesn't matter if the general doesn't know Yang, can you recognize this royal gold medal that I came to in person?" When you were promoted to the general of the cavalry, you once visited the saint, and now the emperor is close at hand, can you still know the emperor's face? General Zhou's direct subordinate commander Yan Fang, the commander of the cavalry battalion, led the troops with you yesterday and was ordered, do you still recognize it? Oh, by the way, Yan Fang's subordinates have been accepted by the emperor as personal guards, and Yan Fang is no longer a captain, but a vanguard general who was personally sealed by the emperor. ”

Just when Wang Wenguang hesitated, the emperor laughed loudly from afar: "Zhi'er, you must speak politely to my Xiaocai general, so as not to frighten him." ”

In fact, as soon as Yang Zhizhao said this, all the doubts in Wang Wenguang's heart no longer existed. Before the emperor's meaty greeting fell, Wang Wenguang suddenly turned over and dismounted, stared at the gold medal in Yang Zhi's hand a few times, and then ran straight past Yang Zhi, staring at the emperor for a moment with exaggerated concentration, and then bowed to the ground: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Weichen knows that he has a great responsibility, and he will be arrogant and disrespectful to the Flying Tiger Marquis because he is too late, and he really deserves death! ”

What kind of pleading is this? It's clearly a show of merit! Yang Zhi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and a familiar thought immediately flashed in his mind: although this person's performance was still a little jerky, the fire score was not bad. Another excellent actor with great acting talent! I also encountered a once-in-a-century opportunity! Yan Fang's prudence is naturally true and there is no trace of artificiality, Wang Wenguang and Yan Fang are by no means the same kind of characters. But Chen Wenyuan and Zhou Ting have been in the army for decades, and they are both old sparrows who have read countless people, will both of them look away? Yang Zhi instinctively felt that when dealing with this person in the future, he was afraid that it would be better to keep an eye on it.

The emperor stretched out his hand on the horse, and said with a smile: "Wen Guang, you know that you have a great responsibility, and it is natural for you to be cautious, and I am very relieved!" Thou art faithful, but what sin is thee? The Flying Tiger Marquis is not a narrow-minded vulgar person, and I dare to guarantee that he will not be careful, but will appreciate you. You don't have to be polite, what is the situation inside and outside the palace now, come to me quickly! ”

"Weichen is not talented, thanks to the emperor's forgiveness and praise, although he can't repay it!" Since Wang Wenguang is quite talented in acting, of course he would not be so stupid as to offend the extremely authoritative Yang Zhi at the first meeting, so he got up unhurriedly and bowed to Yang Zhi and apologized: "The duties of the last general are related to it, and it is also a last resort to be disrespectful to the Flying Tiger Marquis. ”

Yang Zhi smiled and replied with a fist: "The general is polite." The situation is urgent, so the general should quickly return to the emperor. ”

Only then did Wang Wenguang turn around and bow down again: "Your Majesty, Weichen led 8,000 troops out of the camp at the military order of General Zhou yesterday, arrived outside the palace at the beginning of the day, and completed the defense at the end of the day. The general strictly ordered Weichen to only guard outside the palace, and not to let anyone walk out of the palace. Unless you see the general's handwritten military orders again, you can't step into the palace half a step. Weichen didn't dare to be careless, and he asked himself if he was not suspected of dereliction of duty. When Weichen was deployed, Zhao Tianyang, the general of the inner court guard, ascended to the gatehouse, and made disrespectful remarks several times, and even scolded Weichen with disobedient words, but Weichen ignored it, and strictly ordered to restrain his subordinates and soldiers, and not to take the initiative to provoke armed conflicts with the inner court guards. ”

The emperor's heart was completely settled at this point, and he nodded and praised: "Very good." Wenguang, you did a great job. I have written it down for you. ”

Wang Wenguang did not change his face and kowtowed and replied: "This is the responsibility of the micro-ministers, and the micro-ministers dare not take credit." ”

Wang Wenguang's words came to an abrupt end, and he never asked what to do next. He led his troops to surround Ouchi, quickly completed the defense in less than an hour, and did not break out armed clashes with the inner court guards, and was praised by the emperor several times, and did not get carried away with the gaffe, but calmly and calmly dealt with it decently, which shows that this person is indeed difficult for people to reach.

Yang Zhi said that Wang Wenguang was clever at all, in addition to the emperor at the scene, there was also a famous Yang Zhi, and there was a forbidden army general in the middle, so it was not his turn Wang Wenguang, a small Xiaocai general, had the share to speak. At this juncture, a word may still involve thousands of lives now or in the future, or even decades from now, as long as the brain is not burned out, who dares to make decisions for the emperor?

Until this moment, this contest between the emperor and the crown prince and father and son has become completely one-sided, and it is purely superfluous to discuss the victory or defeat. As the lord of the chaotic times, it stands to reason that the emperor does not need anyone's help to make up his mind at this time. I saw the emperor looking at the palace and asked gloomily: "Zhi'er, without further ado, do you say that I have walked into the palace?" Or do you want to go to the palace? ”

Even Wang Wenguang knew not to touch the emperor's mold, let alone Yang Zhi? Shaking his head and sighing: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, this is not only a state affair, but also a family affair of the emperor." How the emperor entered the palace, only the crown prince can give an accurate answer at the moment. ”

Do you need to say this? If the prince takes the initiative to surrender and confess his guilt, and the emperor returns to the palace without blood, there may be a little scruple about taking on the notoriety of killing the son, and the prince may still have a glimmer of life. If the crown prince resisted to the end like a moth to a fire, would the emperor still pretend to be polite to him? Qin Yong, Yan Fang, Wang Wenguang and others all secretly scolded Yang Zhi for being cunning, and they had to admire his quick wit to answer without thinking.

"Oh? Hahahaha....... The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, but there was no joy in the laughter, but full of helpless sadness: "State affairs? Housekeeping? There is no father and son in the heavenly family, and the emperor has no family affairs! I knew ......, I already knew! The worries of Great Xia are not unfavorable to foreign conquests, but to cause trouble! I want to see what the quality of my precious son is. ”

Suddenly stopped laughing, and shouted: "Wang Wenguang and Yan Fang listen to the order: Wang Wenguang set up artillery crossbows outside the four gates of the palace and prepared more cloud ladders, waiting for my will." There are those who dare to resist and flee in the palace here, no matter what their status, even if they are princes and princesses, they don't need to ask for a decree, they will all be killed without mercy! Stare at every inch of the palace wall for me! But a fly flew out of the palace, and I am the only one who asks! Yan Fang escorted to the main gate and summoned the rebel son and Zhao Tianyang to answer the call! If there is no response from the tea effort, - siege!
