Hard-headed, Wang Xupluck rubbed towards Li Xu's side little by little. One hundred and twenty in his heart were unwilling to accept the requests of his companions, but he had to bear the burden of others than to experience another vague defeat. After all, provoking Li Xu to be angry will not kill everyone, and if he loses the battle again, no one can guarantee that he will return to his hometown alive.

"Great, general, let's, we lost this time, and we were really a little wronged!" Looking at Li Xu's solid arms, Wang Xuba felt his throat tighten more and more, "I mean, I mean, we shouldn't have lost, it's all, it's all those bastards who are too lacking in morality..."

Li Xu's body stiffened obviously, but he didn't turn around immediately, but slowly finished the mark he was carrying. As if it were a masterpiece, he raised his dagger earnestly and looked at it carefully for a moment. Then he turned around, his bottomless eyes filled with smiles.

As if he had seen through the cowardice hidden in his heart in an instant, Wang Xuba hurriedly lowered his eyelids, not daring to meet the oncoming gaze. He still remembers the promise he made when he was recruited last year. At that time, he, Guo Fang and others had already decided to hand over their lives to the young man in front of them, and they would never regret it. And now it has just experienced a setback...... Thinking of this, he involuntarily raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. A face as hot as burnt pork rinds, red and black, almost about to smoke out!

"Someone else taught you these words. Suba, you're not a lobbyist at all! As if feeling the embarrassment of the other party, Li Xu stretched out his hand and gently patted the shoulder of his confidant Wang Xupout.

This beat made Wang Suba feel more and more uneasy. "No, not someone else. I don't need to be taught, I want to say it myself. I'm not afraid of death. General, this life is entrusted to you, and I will never regret what I said in this life. He explained in a panic, lest Li Xu not believe it. I think it's just that the court is unjust, let's fight for it in the front, and it will put a knife in the back. Dongdu has done such a desperate job, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not said a word until now! ”

"If I were Your Majesty, I wouldn't deal with those people left behind in the Eastern Capital!" Li Xu grinned, his angular face full of bitterness, "At that time, if we could defeat Liu Changgong and Duan Da, Your Majesty would not dispose of us." The situation has reached such a point, he can't give up the entire Henan to the Wagang Army! ”

"The blind man could not see the general's loyalty to the court. Without us, how can Liu Changgong's bastard deal deal with the Wagang Army? Wang Suba trembled with urgency, and raised his voice and shouted. He originally came to persuade Li Xu to rebel, but now he is worried about the situation in Henan. It was a great situation that countless brothers sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and they were buried clean in the blink of an eye. The displaced people who have been allocated land have not even had time to plant their fields, and the rejuvenated canal has just sent off its first cargo ships.......

"It's none of our business anymore!" Li Xu sighed and shook his head slightly. "Manpower is sometimes poor......."

"Have you decided not to obey the orders of the imperial court anymore?" Wang Suba couldn't believe his ears and shouted in surprise.

"It's not that you don't bend, it's that you don't have the strength to serve anymore!" Li Xu sighed again and smiled bitterly. "With so many brothers lost, I don't know when the vitality of the six counties will be restored. Dou Jiande and Luo Yi are eyeing each other again, if we want to help the imperial court, we always have to settle down in our nest first! ”

Young people always feel that there is nothing to do in the world, and when they have gone through hardships, they realize that all they can do is what they are talented. The range is very narrow, very cramped.

He is a military general, and the duty of a military general is to guard. He once proudly wanted to protect the entire Great Sui, so that all people like his father and uncle could live a peaceful life, so that this river and mountain would no longer tremble under the iron hooves of external enemies and internal criminals. As a result, in the end, he didn't even protect his beloved, and watched her die in his arms.

Today, the most painful period has passed. He just wanted to protect what he could. Parents, children, the six counties under the rule, and the ideals in their hearts and the conscience and conscience of life.

"Adults don't have to be too upset. We don't have the ability to take care of Henan's idle affairs, and the six counties can at least keep it. As the old saying goes, as long as we don't leave the nest, others can't stab us in the back! Wang Xuba saw Li Xu's expression, and hurriedly said comfort.

The general said that he would no longer care about Henan's idle affairs, which means that he has basically decided to break away from the control of the imperial court. In that way, everyone didn't have to worry that the imperial court would send other people to enter Boling, and Wang Suba would no longer have the task of being a lobbyist on his shoulders. In his eyes, Li Xu is the heaven of the six counties of Boling. When the people know who they are working for, their hearts will no longer be uneasy.

"You can call Ziji and the German side. While everyone is still resting, let's say a few words. Li Xu smiled again and ordered.

With that, he beckoned to the generals who were waiting for news not far away, and then found a stone and sat down. In addition to a few core figures still there, Li Xu found that there were more than half of the low-level generals who followed him on the expedition. The war with the Wagang Army was a complete failure, and whatever the cause, the result was brutal. But the most terrible thing for a young person is not to suffer setbacks, but to not be able to learn from them. He also had five counties and so many brothers to be honest with. The road ahead remains promising, and the future remains uncertain.

Several core generals and staff members saw Li Xu's gesture and also heard Wang Xuba's call, looked at each other, and quickly surrounded each other. The midday sun was bright, and so was their eyes. Shi Defang secretly straightened the cloth crown, and Zhang Jiang also quietly tugged the corner of his clothes. Zhou Daniu's hand was still clenched on the hilt of the knife at his waist, ready to fight with others at any time. Guo Fang and Shi Fang Yannian, the marching commander under Wang Xuba, were full of joy, the two of them had been worried that the general would be furious after listening to Wang Xuba's advice, but now it seems that the general has figured it out and will no longer cling to that foolish loyalty.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Xu waved his hand and ordered the generals to find a flat place to sit down first. "He told me everything that everyone entrusted General Wang to say. In the short term, I don't plan, and we really can't follow the orders of the imperial court anymore. What to do after returning to Boling, I want to hear what everyone means. Let's also set a rule from now on, if you have anything to say to me directly, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong. But stop playing tricks behind your back! ”

"The last general obeys!" Wang Xuba and the others straightened their bodies and responded in a low voice.

"I, I, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the general will be upset, so I deliberate in private, and the general, ......," the German side smiled awkwardly and stammered to explain. During his time in Bolingjun, his stuttering problem has changed a lot. But as soon as he became nervous, he was instantly beaten back to his original form.

Li Xu waved his hand and interrupted Shi Defangde's words. "It's okay, we didn't have this rule before, so you didn't do anything wrong. In the future, according to the rules, after so long in the Boling Army, when has the German side seen me sinner for my words! ”

"Thank you, thank you, general!" When the German side was relieved, the stuttering problem began to lessen again.

"Let's get down to business." Li Xu glanced at him and ordered. "When I was in Henan, I remember that your strategy of westward expansion was very reasonable. But at that time, the Eastern Capital had already prepared, and if we forcibly co-organized the county soldiers into battle, it would be tantamount to using a tired army to resist the suspicious people, and there was no certainty of victory at all. Once both sides are defeated in the battle with the Eastern Capital, the opportunity will be taken advantage of by the Wagang army. Not only will you not be able to achieve the expected goal, but you will end up in ruin! ”

"Genus, genus, subordinate considerations, ill-conceived. Please, please ......" The sweat on the German forehead immediately broke out again, shiningly, rolling down one by one. He once suggested to Zhang Jiang and others that by withholding the leader of the county soldiers, he would help the county soldiers and the eastern capital to work hard, and then take Luoyang and coerce the king of Yue to stand on his own. But this overly idealistic suggestion was rejected by Li Xu. At that time, the German side was very unconvinced, thinking that Li Xu did not dare to let go of his actions only out of foolish loyalty to the imperial court. Later, after comparing the strength of the Wagang army and the Eastern Capital, he knew that he almost buried everyone's lives.

"As I have said, I will not sin by my words. What's more, you were thinking about everyone's future at that time! Li Xu smiled and waved his hand, "In the future, you will be the right Sima by my side, and give me ideas at any time." Whether it's right or wrong, as long as I adopt it myself, the responsibility will not be held on your head! ”

"Thank you, Lord Xie promoted!" The German side was surprised and delighted, stood up, and reached the ground with a long sway.

"Sit down, and don't startle the sleeping brother. How long this right Sima can do depends on your own ability, after all, Luo Yi's Tiger Ben Iron Horse has already hit the doorstep! ”

"Belong, subordinates must do their best, and die for themselves!" The German side hastened to assure. So far, there are only Zhao Ziming and his two military commanders under the command of the general manager of the Boling Army. Although he, the right Sima, will not have as much power as Zhao Ziming, if Li Xu embarks on the road to victory in the future, he will not be able to do Xiao He and Zhang Liang, and his status will not be inferior to Chen Ping in the early Han Dynasty.

"It's not for you to die, it's for you to find a way to help the general defend the six counties!" Guo Fang couldn't get used to Shi Defang's shocked appearance, so he stretched out his hand and pushed him, scolding with a smile.

"Lao Tzu is better than you...." Shi Defang stalked his neck and returned it with white eyes. Immediately, he realized that in the Boling army, the hierarchy was not as strict as that of officialdom. As soon as he became the right Sima, he put on a majestic style, which could easily cause the unhappiness of the lord.

"Not as much now as it was before. We were able to gain a firm foothold in Boling before, first of all, with the support of the big tree of the imperial court. Secondly, the two veteran generals Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong are also there. Now that the imperial court is crumbling, we don't follow its orders, and others will only take the words of the imperial court as a deaf ear. "While everyone was in deep thought, Li Xu took the lead in pointing out the situation that everyone was about to face." Boling is the land of four wars, and unfortunately it is sandwiched between several major forces. It is difficult to hold it, but if you want to develop it, and find an opportunity to wash away the revenge of this defeat, I am afraid it is not a goal that can be achieved in a day or two! ”

The reason why His Majesty the Emperor asked me to comfort these six counties back then was probably because I thought that there might be such a day in the future. Thinking of the grievances with the imperial court, Li Xu was saddened. As the emperor, Yang Guang is indeed a failure, but Yang Guang, as the top boss, is very righteous. At that time, I am afraid that he had doubted his loyalty, but he still entrusted himself with a heavy responsibility. Without his trust and support, Li Xu knew that he would not have been able to get to where he is today. But if it weren't for his mediocrity, Li Xu knew that he would not have been able to plummet from the apex of his life!

"Let, our six counties of Boling are indeed conducive to war, not conducive to defense." Shi Defang thought about it and responded. "But, but it is difficult for others to replace the general. In the past two years, the general has been clear about the people, people, and people's hearts. Ren, no one will let go of the good, the good life is not enough, go to Luo Yi to live a hard life! ”

"It's true, defending the land is 'not in danger in Germany', and it is true that the tiger and the iron horse are sharp in the world, but Luo Yi also scraped the people all over Youzhou in order to feed this iron horse. The people of our six counties, especially the people of Zhuozhou and Shanggu, all know what the days are under Luo Yi's rule, and in order to live like a person, they will also follow the general and Luo Yi desperately. As for Dou Jiande, his strength is not as good as ours. If we don't go out to clean him up, we have already made him beg for it, and I am not afraid that he will come to the door at all! "Fang Yannian was a scholar who was admitted to the army through the imperial examination, and he was not as good as Shi Defang in terms of strategy, but his strength was that he could draw inferences from one example. After being reminded by his colleagues, he immediately found a lot of advantages on his side.

"Among the princes, we, we are also the first to start Tuntian. If you talk about the wealth of the people, the whole Hebei is unmatched. "The German side didn't want to be robbed of the limelight, so they accelerated their speech." As long as he can confront Luo Yi for three months, his military rations will inevitably be exhausted. And we have rich grain stocks in hand, and we can follow them and recapture the entire Zhuo County. If you want to end the battle as soon as possible, you can also find a way from the rear. The Xue brothers will not fail to understand that his father's death is closely related to Luo Yi's two plots, and the reason why he is attached to the enemy is forced by the situation. Let's send people to spread some rumors, even if the Xue family brothers don't want to rebel, Luo Yi will be worried about his future. If you can send a light cavalry to break into Youzhou, the death of the old thief is not far away! ”

In terms of the ability to change, none of the civilian officials in the Boling army can be compared with the German side. Everyone just suffered the loss of rumors in Henan, and he turned around and gave this plan to Luo Yi. The Xue brothers and Luo Yi are in harmony, and any one of the two sides is enough to threaten the foundation of the Youzhou Army. And the light cavalry assault harassment, using the speed advantage to hit the enemy, is the Boling army's best trick. As long as you don't go head-to-head with the mounted iron horse, no matter how strong the opponent's attack power is, there is nothing to be done about the light horse that is going away.

"The art of war says that the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. We Boling has no other advantages, this person is and, but no one can compare. Fang Yannian thought about it and continued to summarize from the overall situation. The general won the hearts of the people, climbed the heights and shouted, and responded to the gathering...."

"Just having the support of the people may not work, aren't we also very popular with the people in Henan, and it is not the same as being sold!" Zhou Daniu frowned and interjected coldly.

His words were like a scoop of cold water, pouring them on the crowd and making them tremble. In particular, a few elated civilian staff members couldn't stand this straightforward way of speaking, and they held their breath in their chests, and their faces turned pale.

It stands to reason that this kind of Fan Hui and his ilk should not be too talkative. But to the disappointment of Shi Defang and others, Li Xu was not ready to pursue Zhou Daniu's recklessness. Smiling, he whispered: "Da Niu's words also make sense, we have suffered a big loss, and we have to remember some lessons." Otherwise, the next time you encounter the same situation, you will be caught off guard! ”

"Last time, we weren't on guard. In the future, as long as you are a little more vigilant, you will not suffer the same loss! Shi Defang was not convinced, and said with anger.

"It's not just a matter of defense. We can't believe anyone! The reason why the Eastern Capital did that must have their reasons. Moreover, why did they dare to be so fearless and actually anticipate the reaction of the imperial court afterwards? There are some reasons that I've found. Some of them have never been able to figure it out. Whoever can say one or two of them, don't hesitate to speak up! Li Xu ordered with a wry smile.

He knew that the task of defending the six counties of Boling would not be as easy as everyone said. Killing the enemy in battle is his specialty, so in the face of the Tiger Ben Iron Rider or other bandits from all walks of life, Xu Zi does not have much fear in his heart. But it has always been his weakness when it comes to dealing with intrigue and intrigues, so he must listen to the opinions of his listeners more to make up for his own shortcomings.

"General, please forgive your subordinates!" Fang Yannian stood up, and before he spoke, he gave Li Xu a bow.

"Although it is said, it is better to be pointed out by one's own people than to be held in the palm of the hand by outsiders!"

"Just now, my subordinates have been talking about the superiority of the general. But the general's disadvantage is indeed very obvious! After receiving Li Xu's encouragement, Fang Yannian said unceremoniously: "First of all, the general has risen rapidly, his foundation is unstable, and his connections are thin. No one echoes in the DPRK, and the opposition can't let those big names fall in love! Therefore, if you want to calculate the general, as long as you can win, you are not afraid of retaliation from someone later! ”

This time it was the generals' turn to turn blue. The big families of the Great Sui, including some big names in Boling, know very well in their hearts that these guys really don't buy General Li's account. Even when he took a lot of benefits from General Li, he still had ill intentions. This embarrassing situation led to the fact that the Boling army had to rely on the support of His Majesty the Emperor for a long time. And once His Majesty's support was ignored, the Boling army immediately leaked behind it. This time, the reason why the Eastern Capital calculated that the Boling Army could easily succeed was because Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was definitely more important than Li Xu in Yang Guang's eyes. As long as Yang Tong agrees, Duan Da and the others can do whatever they want!

And the reality in the future will be even more severe, since everyone and General Li have decided not to obey the orders of the imperial court. The support of the court will not exist, and after losing the name of righteousness, the foundation of the Boling army will be weaker, and those black hands in the background will definitely stretch longer.
