In front of the wide training ground, Zhang Xuan looked at the three thousand heavy armored infantry who were training, and in the shouting order of the Huya Lang general Xiong Kuohai, the heavy armored infantry moved in unison, brandishing a long horse chopping knife, and let out a thunderous roar, and the three thousand horse chopping sabers were chopped on the ground at the same time, stirring up a cloud of dust.

At this time, Fang Xuanling slowly walked to Zhang Xuan's side, and asked with a low smile, "Your Highness seems to be lacking in confidence?" ”

Zhang Xuan also smiled, "One hundred thousand cavalry, this is the first time I have faced such a powerful enemy army, how can I be sure." ”

"Since Your Highness is not sure, why do you still have to fight?"

Zhang Xuan stared into the distance, his eyes became deeper, and said slowly: "This is a challenge I must face, no matter whether I win or lose, I can't escape, through this hurdle, our road will become easy from now on." ”

Fang Xuanling can fully understand the ambition in the lord's chest, his goal is the world, and this world also includes the grassland.

"Does Your Highness think the Tang Army will come?"

Zhang Xuan sneered and said: "Li Yuan wants to take advantage of the fisherman's profit, taking advantage of our defeat and destroying the Northern Sui and Turks in one fell swoop, but how can there be such a good advantage in the world, if he really wants to do that, he will definitely steal chickens and lose a handful of rice." ”

"For example, His Highness will take advantage of his army to go north to seize Taiyuan City in one fell swoop." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "It will definitely be like this, but Li Jiancheng is more realistic, he is not carried away by desire like Li Yuan, I estimate that it is more likely to send troops." ”

At this moment, a soldier rushed to report: "Marshal Qiyu, Ling has returned from joining the army." ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please ask him to come to the Chinese army's tent to see me." ”

The soldiers rushed away, and Zhang Xuan smiled at Fang Xuanling: "Let's go and hear the news of Ling's joining the army!" ”

.........

After a while, Ling Jing hurriedly walked into the big tent, bowed down and saluted: "See the big handsome!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "It's hard to join the army, what's the news from Taiyuan?" ”

"Returning to the marshal, Li Jiancheng has decided to send troops, the Xue brothers each led 10,000 troops to Xihe County and Lishi County to establish defenses, and Wang Junkuo led 30,000 troops to the north, willing to accept the unified dispatch of His Highness."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Sure enough, he was hit by the marshal, it seems that Li Jiancheng is still sincere, and he sent 30,000 troops to assist, how is the marshal going to arrange?" ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is Tang Jun now?" ”

"It should have arrived in Jiaocheng County and is continuing on the way north."

Zhang Xuan took a few more steps and said to Fang Xuanling: "If I incorporate 30,000 Tang troops into my team, do the military advisors think it is feasible?" ”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "From our point of view, it's not a big problem, let them be left or right alone, but I guess Wang Junkuo will definitely not accept it, to be precise, Li Jiancheng will not accept it." ”

"Why is that?"

"It's very simple, Li Jiancheng is willing to send troops to fight against his father's will, if the Tang Army is incorporated into our team again, he will not be able to explain to his father, the consequences are very serious, Li Jiancheng will not force himself to a dead end, but His Highness has this idea, I have a workaround."

"Strategist, please speak clearly!"

Fang Xuanling whispered a few words to Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan nodded again and again, "Then there will be a trip to the labor division." ”

.........

At noon, Wang Junkuo led 30,000 elite Tang troops to arrive at the Sui army camp station, Wang Junkuo is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, burly and tall, face like red dates, and a half-foot-long hair under the chin, he was the first to fall into the grass in Taihang Mountain, and Shan Xiongxin has a very good relationship, it is under the persuasion of Shan Xiongxin, he led the army to Wagang, and became one of the five tiger generals of the Wagang Army.

Wang Junkuo made an eighty-pound Qinglong Yanyue knife, the knife skills are superb, plus he is good at reading military books, both civil and military, and is known as Xiao Guan Yu by the Wagang soldiers, his excellence was jealous of Zhai Hong, and often said bad things about him in front of Zhai Rang, and over time, Zhai Rang also disliked him.

Wang Junkuo was squeezed out by Zhai Hong, so he naturally devoted himself to Li Jiancheng's faction, won Li Jiancheng's trust, and became Li Jiancheng's henchman, second only to Wang Bodang.

Last year, Wang Junkuo lost Lou Fu Pass, which caused the anger of Li Yuan, the son of heaven, and Li Jiancheng also took the responsibility on himself and saved Wang Junkuo, Wang Junkuo was grateful and more loyal to Li Jiancheng.

Wang Junkuo was not in a hurry to meet Zhang Xuan, but ordered the army to camp on the spot to rest, after all, he was a Tang general, not Zhang Xuan's subordinates, he knew very well where his principles were?

As soon as the Tang army was stationed, a team of cavalry escorted Fang Xuanling to the front of the camp, followed by hundreds of carts of killed mutton, and urged the captain to step forward and say to the sentry: "Please tell General Wang that the Northern Sui Fang military division is coming to visit!" ”

The sentry immediately rushed in, and in a moment, Wang Junkuo and the deputy general Xie Yingdeng hurriedly walked out of the camp, Wang Junkuo stepped forward and bowed, "Humble Wang Junkuo welcomes the arrival of the Fang military division!" ”

Xie Yingdeng also stepped forward and saluted, Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "The two generals don't need to be polite, I am hereby ordered by His Royal Highness King Qi to express my condolences to the two generals, and I ask the two generals to smile at a little heart." ”

Fang Xuanling turned his head and waved his hand, and the soldiers drove a hundred carts forward slowly, Fang Xuanling smiled: "This is five thousand sheep, improve the food for the soldiers." ”

Wang Junkuo and Xie Yingdeng glanced at each other, and Wang Junkuo hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness King Qi, we have brought enough food, but we still accept it, and Fang Junshi please go into the camp to rest." ”

Xie Yingdeng hurriedly took the soldiers to collect mutton, and Wang Junkuo invited Fang Xuanling into the big tent, and the two sat down separately, Wang Junkuo said with a smile: "Presumably Ling has returned to the camp after joining the army." ”

"Of course, it was when Ling returned from joining the army that His Royal Highness the King of Qi sent me to negotiate with the general."

Wang Junkuo is also the main battle faction, he strongly supports Li Jiancheng to start a war against the Turks, since Fang Xuanling is straight to the point and directly states his intentions, Wang Junkuo also said frankly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said when he left, let me obey His Royal Highness King Qi's order, I personally think this is the right decision, only unified scheduling of operations, in order to exert the greatest combat power, but also to achieve results, please Fang Junshi to tell His Royal Highness King Qi, I will absolutely obey his combat orders, temporarily become his subordinate." ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded, "The general can be so frank, which is also sincere, His Royal Highness the King of Qi also said that as long as the two sides are sincerely united, they will definitely defeat the Turkic invaders, but after all, the two armies are their own masters, and some details are arranged for the general It is better to consult His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and then implement it after His Royal Highness the Prince's approval, I think this is better." ”

Wang Junkuo pondered and asked, "For example, what is the arrangement?" ”

"There are two main arrangements, the first arrangement is to hope that the general will participate in the pre-war military deployment, the pre-war deployment is extremely important, and many details must be discussed, so it is best for General Wang and General Xie to participate."

Wang Junkuo nodded silently, and then asked, "What is the other arrangement?" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and continued: "There is also an arrangement that both sides will tie a red belt on their left arm, as a symbol of this Sui and Tang Dynasty alliance, His Royal Highness the King of Qi thinks that this is very necessary, and if you tie the red belt, you will not be stung by some past events." ”

Wang Junkuo sighed and said: "I understand the two arrangements, as Fang Junshi said, I really can't call the shots, I must ask His Royal Highness the Prince, I will send an eagle letter to Taiyuan, and there will be a clear reply at noon tomorrow at the latest, but whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can agree, I can't guarantee it." ”

"It's okay, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refuses, we won't be reluctant, but the cooperation will continue, it's a big deal that I will work hard a few more times."

Fang Xuanling discussed with Wang Junkuo some details of the garrison, scouts, and defenses, and then got up and left.

As soon as Fang Xuanling left, Xie Yingdeng walked into the big tent, the two sat down, Wang Junkuo told Xie Yingdeng in detail about the discussion with Fang Xuanling, and finally asked, "Do you think Sui Jun's suggestion is acceptable?" ”

Xie Yingdeng and Wang Junkuo were close friends when they were in Wagangzhai, and now they are both Li Jiancheng's generals, and the two have a deep relationship and trust each other, so Wang Junkuo must listen to Xie Yingdeng's opinion.

Xie Yingdeng pondered for a moment and said: "This approach is beyond reproach, it is indeed important to participate in the combat deployment, it is related to the cooperation between each other, the red belt on the arm is not a sign of the coalition, but so as not to turn the other cheek when we see each other on the battlefield in the future, in fact, I also need to do it, but the general should indeed consult His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." ”

Wang Junkuo nodded and asked, "Fang Xuanling asked us to be stationed on the left side of the Sui camp, what do you think?" ”

Xie Yingden said with a smile: "It is really necessary, but it is still the same sentence, please consult His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and see His Highness's opinion before making a decision." ”
