"So, what General Guan means is that the military advisor is deliberately reusing Zhang Tianyi and deliberately wooing him," Shangguan Xiu asked.

Guan Xi said: "If it is just reuse and co-opt, it will be fine, what the last general is worried about is that the military adviser has the intention of taking Zhang Tianyi under his command, taking it for his own use, and forming his own faction in our army, even worse......"

He looked at Shangguan Xiu cautiously, and did not continue to say the following words, but the meaning was already very straightforward, even worse than his own faction, that is, a rebellion or a collaborator with the enemy,

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyes, and two sharp rays of light shot straight into Guan Xi's face,

The latter felt like two knives were slashed in his face, his body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "The last general is loyal to the country, loyal to His Highness, if there is a gaffe, I hope Your Highness will not blame,"

Staring at Guan Xi for a moment, the aggressive electric light in Shangguan Xiu's eyes disappeared, he smiled slightly, did not continue on this topic, changed his words, and asked, "General Guan has been fighting in Ningnan for two years?"

Guan Xi Zhengse said: "The last general was stationed in Pingguan for one year, and after the outbreak of the national war, he fought for another two years, and in Ningnan, the last general has been staying for more than three years in total,"

Shangguan Xiu nodded and sighed: "I am fighting abroad, loyal to the country, and I haven't returned home for three years, how many people can do this kind of thing, and there are a few officers and soldiers in the army,"

When Guan Xi heard this, his heart suddenly became hot, and he choked up and said: "Your Highness tortures the last general, and the last general will fight for the country, and he will work hard,"

"In the past three years, how has the situation been at home?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, everything is fine,"

"Well," Shangguan Xiu turned his head to Wu Yufei and said: "Yufei, draft the recital on my behalf, the official general is fighting outside, and the official's wife has a good way of governing the family, so that the general of the campaign can have no worries, although he is in the rear, but his merits can be expressed, therefore, the official's wife should be a model for his wife, and he will be given a five-grade edict and a reward of one hundred taels of gold,"

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, Guan Xi was stunned for a moment before reacting, hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness's Longen, the last general is toothless and unforgettable, for Your Highness, the last general will smear his liver and brain, and his body and bones will be broken, and he will not give up,"

The wife can be named the wife of the decree, whether it is a civil official or a military general, this is a great honor, but also the glory of the whole family, the wife is noble by her husband, and the wife is awarded the decree, which can only show that the husband is extremely valued by the court, how can the official not be moved,

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to Guan Xi and said, "General Guan, please get up," after a pause, he said meaningfully: " Now, the national war has reached the most critical moment of life and death, whether the century-old cause, whether it can be realized in our hands, it depends on this war, because of this, our army officers and men must unite as one, up and down, and go all out to fight the enemy, if there is internal intrigue, deceit, a hundred years of great cause, I am afraid that it will be in vain, the situation of division, and I don't know how many years to last, how many future generations of descendants, officers and generals, you can understand the truth,"

Guan Xi's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and said: "Your Highness has taught you a great lesson, and the last general understands,"

"No, I'm not reprimanding you, I'm just reminding you," Shangguan Xiu stood up, walked up to Guan Xi, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "General Guan's reminder to me today is something that others dare not say easily, General Guan can bluntly say his concerns in front of me, I am very happy, if you really notice anything in the future, you must not hide it from me,"

Guan Xi's mood was like riding a roller coaster, rising and falling, listening to Shangguan Xiu say this, his mood that had just fallen suddenly rose again, and he replied: "Your Highness, rest assured, whoever dares to have a different heart for Your Highness, after the general notices, he will communicate to His Highness,"

Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile and said: "In this battle, our army has to travel a long way and go straight to Tianjing, and there are still many things to prepare in the army, and the general should not be left behind,"

Guan Xi bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Highness, the last general will leave,"

"Well, go ahead,"

Guan Xi said goodbye and left, seeing him walk out of the camp, Wu Yufei came to Shangguan Xiu and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, you really want to give Your Majesty a secret, and the wife of the official is a five-grade order,"

Shangguan Xiu glanced at Wu Yufei and asked with a smile, "Yufei thinks there is something wrong,"

Wu Yufei shook his head and said: "Seeing that Zhang Tianyi's advice was adopted by the military advisor, he secretly hated it, and came to Brother Xiu to tell the truth and wrong, making something out of nothing, this is the behavior of a villain, as the commander of an army, but there is no measure of tolerance, this corps commander is afraid that he may not be competent,"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, Wu Yufei, who was originally born in the rivers and lakes, followed him to fight in the south and north for many years, and he really tempered himself into a general with quick mind and keen insight.

Shangguan Xiu smiled for a moment and said: "Now is the time to employ people, even if it is not the time to employ people, people like Guan Xi also have the value of his existence,"

No one is perfect, everyone will have shortcomings, but some people are good at covering up and hiding their shortcomings, and people like Guan Xi who don't know how to hide and directly reveal their shortcomings, sometimes, it will be more reassuring to use.

The 13th Army Corps of the Ningnan Army is currently stationed in the area of Xincheng in the north of Jiangling County, and in the Battle of Shuangcheng, the Ningnan Army was defeated, and the southern defense line with Gaoyang and Jiuzhen Ercheng as the core collapsed, and Chastain, the commander of the 13th Army, was at a loss.

He is not easy to be the commander of the legion, the soldiers below do not listen to his command at all, even a small soldier, the background may be much stronger than his corps commander, in such a legion, who can he control,

If it was just a small defeat, he could still find a way to fool the past on the side of the imperial court, but this defeat, two legions, one was wiped out, and the other turned against the wind army, and the thirteenth legion didn't even fire a single shot, so the whole army fled from the battlefield, and the whole army became deserters, he really didn't know how to explain to the court.

For several days, Chastain had been confined to the tent, closed doors, and drunk all day long, while the soldiers of the Thirteenth Army seemed to be nothing, roaming the mountains and playing in the water, and occasionally going hunting, like a plate of loose sand.

In the evening of this day, Chastain had just had dinner and was looking at the half-written war report on the table when a soldier hurriedly walked in and said, "Report to the general, General Guan Jiguan asks to see you."

"Who," Chastain wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, Guan Ji, the deputy commander of the Twentieth Legion, didn't he defect with Zhang Tianyi, why did he run to Xincheng again,

The soldier who reported the news secretly rolled his eyes and repeated: "It's General Guan Jiguan, the deputy marshal of the Twentieth Army,"

He ...... He's coming to our camp,"

"Exactly,"

"How many soldiers and horses did he bring," frdo

"It looks like less than a hundred,"

Less than a hundred, less than a hundred people came to Xincheng to do something, he didn't come to fight, Chastain pondered for a while, and asked, "Guan Ji wants to see me,"

"Yes, General, it seems that General Guan and his subordinates have all escaped from the Wind Army, and they are all covered with colors, and General Guan's injuries look quite serious,"

Hearing this, Chastain finally put his mind at ease, and he said urgently: "Quick, quickly invite General Guan into our army camp,"

"Yes, General," the soldier agreed, and turned and walked out.

The news of Guan Ji's sudden arrival also alarmed many officers and soldiers of the 13th Army, and the generals entered the Chinese military tent one after another, and outside, there were many soldiers standing around.

Almost two quarters of an hour later, Guan Ji, who was covered in blood, was put into the Chinese military tent from the outside by two soldiers.

At this time, Guan Ji was too miserable, there was blood in front of and behind him, and he couldn't tell how many wounds there were on his body, and he couldn't even stand up, so he could only be held by two soldiers.

Seeing his miserable situation, Chastain and the others couldn't ask even if they had a stomach, so they hurriedly found a medical officer to treat Guan Ji's wounds.

The medical officer dug out a total of seven projectiles on Guan Ji's body, and the projectiles did not penetrate deeply, they were all embedded in the flesh and skin, which looked scary, and the wounds were blurry, but in fact they were not fatal.

Seeing the medical officer holding the tray, there were seven bloody projectiles in the tray, and the people around him were shocked and shuddered, and secretly said in their hearts, this Guan Ji's life is really big enough, he was hit by seven bullets, and he could still run to Xincheng alive.

Chastain asked the medical officer, "How is General Guan's injuries?"

The medical officer said with a solemn face: "It's heavy, not very optimistic,"

"Is there a danger to life?"

"This ...... It's hard to say yet, but if General Guan can survive tonight safely, his life will be saved,"

The people of the Thirteenth Legion are all masters of shirking their responsibilities and playing Tai Chi, and the medical officer is no exception, how is Guan Ji's injury, the medical officer's heart is like a mirror, it looks heavy, but in fact it is not heavy,

But you can't say that, no matter what kind of injury, there is a possibility of accidents, if he says Guan Ji's injury lightly, in case he really has an accident, there are three long and two short, then it is all his responsibility as a medical officer, he will not be stupid enough to take all the responsibility on himself,

Guan Ji's injury is more serious, there was really an accident, it was his own bad luck, it had nothing to do with him, there was no accident, that was his medical skills, and he had a talent for rejuvenation.

The Thirteenth Legion, this immortal legion, is composed of such a group of brazen people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Thirteenth Legion is the black sheep in the Ningnan Army.

After treating Guan Ji's wounds, the medical officer left, and all the generals led by Chastain gathered together, muttering how Guan Ji was injured and why he fled to his side.

They were speculating wildly, Guan Ji who was lying on the bed groaned, everyone turned their heads to look, saw Guan Ji wake up from a coma, stepped forward together, and asked nonsense: "How does General Guan feel, is it better?"

"I ...... My brothers and I ...... Fight your way through the wind camp and desperately escape, I ...... We have never been treasonous......" Speaking of excitement, Guan Ji's face turned red, and he kept coughing, and all that came out of his mouth was blood foam.

He had skin injuries, no internal injuries, and these blood foams were squeezed out by him by biting the tip of his tongue.

But others didn't know, seeing him coughing up blood again and again, everyone was frightened, Chastain gently patted him on the shoulder, and said: "General Guan, don't worry, take care of your injuries, we all have seen your loyalty to the country,"

Guan Ji's cough gradually stopped, and he gasped and said: "I came back this time, and I also brought back an important piece of information, the hoarding place of the Feng Army's ammunition is now in my hands, and there is currently only a battalion of troops of the Feng Army stationed, General Cha, the opportunity must not be lost, quickly lead people to attack, it will definitely be able to succeed in one blow and hit the Feng Army hard,"

"Ah," Chastain and the others were shocked when they heard this,

Guan Ji raised his hand, stretched out his hand into his arms, trembled and took out a sheepskin map, handed it to Chastain, and said: "This is the map I drawn, General Cha will know it at a glance,"

Chastain hurriedly took it and looked down carefully, on the map, the location of the fortress marked was located in the north of Jiuzhen City, more than thirty miles away from Jiuzhen City, which did not belong to the rear of the Wind Army, but belonged to the outpost of the Wind Army,

The place where ammunition is hoarded is a top priority, and it is not placed in a safe rear, but it is arranged in an outpost full of dangers, even if Chastain, the commander, is a wine bag and rice bag, but he also sees something strange,

He frowned, and said suspiciously: "The hoarding place of the Wind Army's ammunition seems to be a bit abnormal, General Guan can't be a mistake,"

"I didn't ...... It won't be wrong, the wind army will soon go north to attack your department, and the current ammunition hoarding place is actually the rear of the wind army, and the wind army knows that your department does not dare to take the initiative to fight, so it will arrange the ammunition hoarding place to the outpost first, and when it advances north, the whole army will save a lot of effort," Guan Ji said intermittently in a weak voice,
