The Lanling monarch's tent is located in the center of the whole military area, and the Zhongjun platform is a two-story platform temporarily built by the wooden side, and there are a number of guard battalions in front and back, which is not grandiose, but also majestic.

There are several tables and eight tables in the main hall of the tent, and all kinds of delicacies are placed.

There were five people seated during the banquet, namely Zhao Baigui, Feng Ting, Han Ju, Kong Pingchang, and Qi Guzhu, who were also the representatives of the five most powerful clans in Lanling.

The first seat in the upper left is still empty, and it is obvious that it is reserved for Gao Shili.

And Zikui sat very respectfully next to the main seat of the king of Lanling, at first glance this is not a straight seat, but everyone understands very well in their hearts the deep meaning of being able to sit on the king's side.

"Gao Shibo, quick, take a seat. ”

The person who honorifies Gao Shili as "Shibo" is the Lanling monarch who is located in the main seat - Lanling Li.

Seeing Gao Shili bringing Gao Qing into the account, he shook the folding fan and greeted him with a smile, with respect in his sincere tone.

Lanling Li had just turned forty and should be the younger lord of the various ethnic groups in Jiuzhou.

He sat upright in the banquet, his straight black hair hanging down his shoulders, and his thick horizontal beard neatly set on his thin lips, matched with his slightly pale complexion, to a bit of elegance.

It is worth noting that the king of Lanling did not wear marching armor or monarchial crown clothes, but wore a flowing and light gauze robe.

The cyan cloth is full of gorgeous and exaggerated floral patterns, which are extremely eye-catching, and the petal pattern on the folding fan in his hand really complements each other.

Those who see him for the first time will definitely not believe that he is the king of a country, at best, they can only regard him as a romantic gentleman from a famous family.

In response to the words of King Lanling, all the generals in the tent got up and saluted, and invited Gao Shi to leave and sit down.

Of course, it was Zikui who was particularly humble, how could he not understand that the people in the banquet were all high-ranking and powerful in Lanling, and they could all turn their hands into clouds and rain with their hands, but they had to give up three points in front of Gao Shili.

After all, the seat left by King Lanling to Gao Shili has not dared to encroach on it for now.

He is also very clearly aware that even if the position of the national teacher is already hot in the eyes of many people, if there are more and bigger things to do in Lanling, the Gao family can only be wooed, not the enemy.

"King, the old man has bad legs, it's late, it's late!"

Gao Shili glanced at Zikui disdainfully and stepped into the seat. After saluting, he stood beside his grandfather.

King Lanling quickly felt Gao Shili's jealousy, as the lord of a country, he still has this bit of insight and trade-off.

"Uncle Gao Shibai should be strong, your grandson Gao Qing is even more blue, this time in the battle of Xuanyuan has worked hard, you can't let him stand like this, come here, give the young general a seat. ”

Everyone understood what it meant, and they all echoed the persuasion.

Gao Qing couldn't excuse himself, and sat down beside his grandfather respectfully.

Gao Shili did not say anything, but the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was captured by Lan Lingli.

Lan Ling Li saw that this move worked, so he pushed the boat down the river, raised the wine glass in his hand, and continued: "Generals, although alcohol is forbidden in the army, but Zikui Guoshi won the first battle, congratulations, today at the celebration banquet will make an exception, come, this king proposes that we pay tribute to the national teacher for a cup!"

"Respect for the national teacher, respect for the national teacher......"

Everyone raised their glasses in celebration and drank all the wine in their glasses.

Only Gao Shili raised a glass and tasted it.

"King Xie Wu, thank you generals. Zikui smiled and pretended to be humble.

After toasting, he continued: "The victory of Dayu Valley is due to the joint efforts of the Lanling soldiers of Tuowu, not Zikui alone, especially Major General Gao Qing, who led the bird team to fight in Wanqiu and Luoshen Peak, which is also a great achievement. ”

"It's a pity that Wanqiu is too far away from Yuanguan, but it has picked up a big bargain for Chiyan and Qi Sect. ”

Zikui wanted to use the topic to play and be obedient, but unexpectedly Zhao Baigui, who was sitting next to Gao Shili, grabbed the conversation, which was also clearly pouring cold water on Zikui.

"Eh! Brother Bai Gui. Feng Ting, who was at the third table on the left, also hurriedly handed over. "Wanqiu is just a small city, we occupy Xuanyuan's Biyuan Pass, and the king led the army to take the lead in Pushui, seize the opportunity, take the advantage, now, the king of Chiyan broke his arm, the eight pillars of the country were seriously injured, they lost their troops, but we did not lose a single soldier. ”

"Yes! In the first two battles, Xuanyuan and Chiyan and Qizong were both defeated, and Xuanyuan Heng knew that he was invincible before retreating to Pushui City, the king, in my opinion, we should be full of strength to attack the city, Pushui This piece of fat meat, but it can not be left to others. ”

"Yes, all in one go"

......

Han Ju's proposal was supported by Kong Pingchang, Qi Guzhu and others.

Gao Shili was silent and ignored him.

During the banquet, a few people, you said, I said, but left the protagonist of the celebration behind, perhaps, they didn't want to drink Zikui's celebration wine at all.

This is also what makes Zikui feel tricky, because he has no military power, and the major clans in Lanling don't take him seriously at all.

It's just that he has a place because of King Lanling's partiality, and what he has to do now is to turn King Lanling's trust in him into dependence.

"Hahaha...... The courage of the generals is commendable, and the king is very pleased. However, Pushui City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Xuanyuan is scheming, we still have to be cautious and think in the long run, and we must not be rash. As for marching and fighting, attacking cities and plundering land, it is indeed not what this king is good at, so I don't know what the national teacher has to say?"

Lanling Li originally planned to use the celebration banquet to see what the generals thought about the siege.

Seeing that everyone opened the topic, there was no longer any delay.

"Your Majesty, the Generals. ”

Zikui still put on a humble appearance.

"In the battle of Luoshenfeng, Xuanyuan's losses are not small, it is estimated that the army defending the city is less than 200,000, according to the current military strength of our army, I am afraid it is not appropriate to attack. Now King Xuanyuan gave up Biyuan Pass and retreated to Yecheng, his motive is not clear, but it must be a plot, 100,000 Yecheng garrisons, we have to defend, so, Zikui still feels that it is necessary to join forces with Chiyan and Qizong to attack the city, which can be guaranteed. I don't know if Senior General Gao agrees with Zikui's opinion?"

Zikui said this, on the one hand, he wanted to win over Gao Shili, and on the other hand, he also submitted the contradictions, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Gao Shili has never been waiting to see Zikui, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, as the Lanling humerus, he will never be emotional.

"I got a battle report a few days ago, King Chiyan was seriously injured, and he has returned to the capital of Chiyan to recuperate, and the Chiyan Army is currently under the command of the military advisor Jiang Li. Jiang Li ordered the Eight Pillars to divide their troops into two routes and march towards the northeast of Pushui, and according to my calculations, they would not be able to reach the periphery of Pushui City in five days. The three brothers of Qi Sect Yang Minghao led the army from the northwest. It is not difficult to see from the marching route of Chiyan and Qi Sect that they want to leave the hard bones of the frontal attack on Pushui to my Lanling, and they only pick up the soft persimmons on both sides of the main city of Pushui, and they are very shrewd in their wishful thinking!"

After Gao Shili carefully analyzed, he bowed to Lanling Li and said: "King, what the national teacher said is not unreasonable, but the old minister is worried that Chiyan and Qi Sect Yang Fengyin are only trying to reap the benefits, if only we attack the city with all our might, it will be more than worth the loss." ”

"Hmm...... What the national teacher said, the army of the three parties will work together to attack the city, and this king agrees, and Gao Shibo said that the Chiyan and Qi Sect want to preserve their strength and enjoy their success, which is also what this king is worried about. Generals, now you have to think of a foolproof solution!"

Lan Lingli did not have much achievements in governing the country and using troops, and it was difficult to comment on the analysis of Zikui and Gao Shili, and he could only throw out the problem if he was indecisive.

Zhao Baigui, Feng Ting, Han Ju, Kong Pingchang, Qi Guzhu and others were mediocre in their intelligence, and they were even more at a loss for a while, they all deliberately made anxious thoughts, biting their ears from time to time to show that they had in-depth analysis.

Zikui was delighted, he would not let go of such a rare opportunity to show.

"King, Zikui has a plan to solve the king's worries and the worries of the old general. ”

"Oh oh!

"Great King, generals, since it is a coalition army, it must be to attack the city together, why don't we propose to Chiyan and Qi Sect to elect an alliance commander, and when attacking the city, the troops of the three kingdoms can be uniformly deployed, so that all worries can be easily solved. Of course, this 'alliance commander' is naturally served by you, the king. ”

"Okay! This plan of the national teacher is exactly what this king wants. ”

The dominant party of the three-army alliance to attack the Xuanyuan Kingdom is the Chiyan State, and the invincible Lord of the Chiyan State, with his strong national strength and military strength, has always put himself above the other ethnic countries.

Now, Chi Yan Tianze was injured and returned to China, which is a rare opportunity for Lan Lingli, who does not expect to be able to reach the pinnacle of power, and when he heard that he could be the "commander of the coalition army", he naturally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

"Although this method is good, the old minister is only afraid that the Yan Yan and Qi Sect will not agree!" Gao Shili also agreed.

"Yes, can this Qi Sect and Chi Yan agree?"

"I don't think so!" ......

Zhao Baigui, Feng Ting and others, you say a word to me, but they are just dwarves watching the play, and they are short and long as they are said.

"The king and the generals can rest assured, Zikui can conclude with four points that they promise to agree, and they have to agree if they don't agree. ”

Zikui continued to show off in front of everyone, he raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at his eyes, somewhat self-absorbed. "First, King Chiyan was crossed by Xuanyuan, and the Chiyan soldiers hoped to capture Pushui City as soon as possible, more than anyone else;

Second, Chi Yan suffered a lot of losses in Luoshen Peak, they must rely on the 300,000 troops of my Lanling if they want to be ashamed, and we propose to elect the commander of the alliance, but they dare not shirk;

Third, Qi Sect has always worn a pair of pants with Chi Yan, as long as Jiang Li nodded, Yang Minghao would not disagree;

Fourth, as for the seat of the alliance commander, whether it is Jiang Li, the military advisor who is now commanding the army, or the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, or the three elders of the Qi Sect, they do not have the corresponding identity and strength, and we propose that the king serve as the commander of the alliance, and they must be convinced. The king, Zikui is not talented, and he is willing to go to the military camps of Chiyan and Qizong in person to promote the alliance of the three armies and the establishment of a commander. ”

"Okay, good, or the national teacher has won the heart of this king! Generals, this time the alliance siege related matters, all listen to the arrangements of the national division, if there is a transfer of troops and materials, you should fully cooperate, and you cannot shirk. Alright, that's all for today's feast. National teacher, this king recently found two good pots of flowers, you have to accompany this king to appreciate and appreciate. ”

Lanling Li saw that he had something on his mind, and after issuing the decree, he hurriedly pulled up Zikui and ran to the flower garden on the second floor of the main business.

The king of Lanling loves to raise flowers is a well-known thing in Lanling Kingdom, and Zikui is to be reused only by doing what he likes, so that he has become a national teacher from a humble flower breeder.

With his experienced officialdom experience, he wandered among the rights and interests of major families, and his status increased day by day, and his wings gradually plumped.

The five major families in Lanling, including Zhao, Feng, Han, Kong, and Qi, and the Gao family where Gao Shili is located, most of them are in their own positions, but they are intertwined, and they are somewhat resistant and wary of the rise of Zikui, an emerging force.

Just now, Lan Lingli's announcement made everyone a little more jealous, and they knew the weight of the eight words "transfer troops and materials, and fully cooperate".

At this time, Gao Qing also saw the situation more or less, and finally understood the deep meaning of what his grandfather Gao Shili said to him in the camp before.

In the following days, Zikui successively traveled to the camp of Chiyan and Qizong, and promoted the establishment of the alliance commander.

It's just that on the day of the alliance, Chi Yan sent Chi Yan Qi to the meeting, and Qi Sect only asked Yang Mingcheng to participate, obviously out of helpless perfunctory, nothing more than a promise to give Lan Lingli the name of an empty alliance commander.
