Shangguan Xiu smiled, laughing angrily. Sister-in-law Suo Ke Erer said on the Internet, looking at the most suspicious Yan Qing girl, everyone present was very curious about what was written in the letter, Wei Tian took the lead in standing up, walked to Shangguan Xiu's side, picked up the letter, and read it from beginning to end.

After reading it, Wei Tian couldn't help frowning, although the imperial court praised him, and even said that the battle of Xibu Mountain was led by him, but Wei Tian himself knew in his heart that this was complete nonsense.

As soon as he finished reading the letter, Cao Lei also came over, took the letter, looked down carefully, and looked, Cao Lei's lungs were about to explode, he handed the letter to Wu Nian casually, and said indignantly: "What are we in the imperial court? When we are a piece of paper and need to use us, they hold us tightly in their hands, and when they are used up with us, they wipe our buttocks and throw us into the dung pit, which is simply unreasonable!"

The people of Zhenxi Army circulated this letter, and after reading it, their reactions were similar to Cao Lei's, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.

His brothers can express their dissatisfaction with the court directly, but Shangguan Xiu, as the chief general of the Zhenxi Army, can't say this kind of thing, even if there is a lot of anger, he has to suppress it.

He said slowly: "Now the situation in Zhenjun is not stable, there are a large number of rebels in Zhenzhong and Zhendong, if my Zhenxi army sends troops to attack Ningnan, the rebels in Zhenzhong and Zhendong will inevitably take the opportunity to attack Zhenxi, the rear is in danger, and the brothers cannot fight at ease in the front." ”

Tang Wanyun nodded, and said with a straight face: "Controlling the situation in Zhenjun and completely exterminating all the rebels in Zhenjun is the top priority of the Zhenxi Army. ”

Cao Lei replied angrily: "Brother Xiu, now that the imperial court does not recognize our Zhenxi Army at all, nor does it recognize you as the county lieutenant of the four counties of Zhenxi, do we still have to continue to work hard for the imperial court?"

"That's right!" Liao Zheng took the case and said: "We held high the banner of the imperial court in Zhenxi and put down the rebellion everywhere, but what did the imperial court give us, not a penny of silver, not a grain of grain, not to mention military equipment, Mao never gave us one, we worked hard in Zhenxi, but in the end, the credit we made was also someone else's, what did the court do to protect it?"

Liao Zheng was originally a rebel, and he was very dissatisfied with the imperial court, and now that the imperial court treats the Zhenxi Army like this, Liao Zheng can no longer bear it.

As soon as his words fell, the faces of Chu Lan and Chu Xue, who were standing behind Tang Wanyun, changed the same face, and the two of them scolded in unison: "Presumptuous, bold! Openly slandering the imperial court and openly inciting colleagues to oppose the imperial court, their crimes should be punished!"

As they spoke, the two women raised their hands, grasped the hilt of their swords, and made a gesture to draw their swords.

But before the two of them had their swords pulled out, they heard a rustling sound of swords and swords coming out of the sheath below, and Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, Ding Leng and others were all showing out. Cao Lei's eyebrows were erected, his eyes were wide, and he shouted: "Who dares to touch Lao Liao?"

Liao Zheng looked around at the brothers who showed their swords and swords for themselves, his face was full of gratitude, although he followed An Yifu and took refuge in Shangguan Xiu, but Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Xiu's brothers did not treat him as an outsider, but regarded him as a sibling brother, based on this alone, he was willing to stay in the Zhenxi Army, and was willing to work hard for Shangguan Xiu and the Zhenxi Army.

The interaction between the brothers under his subordinates, Shangguan Xiuyou saw it in his eyes, he nodded secretly, the brothers have a priority in taking refuge in themselves, what he is most worried about is the disagreement between the brothers, there is an estrangement, now it seems that he is too worried, the brothers have become like a family, twisted into a rope. The strength of an army mainly depends on whether it is united internally, and an army that is united from top to bottom is the strongest force that is invincible.

He cleared his throat, waved his hand to Cao Lei and the others, and said, "Put away all your guys, use knives and guns in front of the county lord, what kind of system, do you want to rebel?"

Everyone can not listen to the words of others, but the words of Shangguan Xiu, everyone dare not disobey. The people put down their swords one after another, but one by one they still looked angry.

Shangguan Xiu smiled at Tang Wanyun and said, "County Lord, my brothers are all straight, they can say whatever they want in their hearts, and if there is any offense, please forgive me." ”

This is Zhenxi, it is the territory of the Zhenxi Army, even though Tang Wanyun is the county lord, but in Zhenxi, she is just a bare-pole commander with the title of county lord, and she can't do anything to the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army.

Shangguan Xiu's words can be regarded as giving her a step down, Tang Wanyun took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, she waved her hand to Shangguan Xiu and said: "Lord Shangguan is polite, the feelings of the brothers of the Zhenxi Army, I can also understand the court's negligence in the battle of Xibu Mountain, and it will inevitably be corrected in the future, and the credit that belongs to the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army will definitely not be passed on to others." ”

Hearing her words, the faces of everyone present finally softened a little, Cao Lei and the others put their drawn swords and swords back into their sheaths, and people sat down again, but they were no longer in the mood to drink and eat anymore.

Luo Ren said slowly: "If our army wants to send troops to Ningnan, we need to stabilize Zhenjun first, and it will take three or five months to completely wipe out the rebels in Zhennan, and after three or five months, the national war between Fengning and Ningning may have been over." ”

"That's right!" Cao Lei immediately answered: "If you want to attack Ningnan from Shah, you have to rely on the Central Army for this matter, and our Zhenxi Army is powerless." ”

"Alright. Shangguan Xiu interrupted everyone and said, "Today's banquet is to wash the dust for the county lord, as for government affairs and military affairs, let's leave it until after dinner." As he spoke, he raised his glass. Seeing this, all the generals of the Zhenxi Army also raised their cups in unison and raised them high.

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "County Lord, I and the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army will have a drink to the County Lord!"

Tang Wanyun looked at him deeply, picked up the cup, and said, "Dry!"

"!" everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Shangguan Xiu saw that Tang Wanyun was also tired, so he raised his hand and called a housekeeper from the county governor's mansion and asked him to arrange a place for Tang Wanyun. Tang Wanyun stood up, smiled at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Why don't you take me there yourself?"

She opened her mouth, and Shangguan Xiu couldn't refuse, so she could only take Tang Wanyun to the guest room of the county governor's mansion in person. The accommodation arranged by Shangguan Xiu for Tang Wanyun is a separate courtyard, located in the northeast corner of the county governor's mansion, quiet and elegant.

Entering the room, Tang Wanyun looked around, and Shangguan Xiu asked, "Is the county lord still satisfied?"

Tang Wanyun nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad!" As she spoke, she sat down slowly, waved her hand to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Lord Shangguan, please take a seat." ”

Shangguan Xiu hesitated for a moment and sat down opposite Tang Wanyun.

Tang Wanyun asked Chu Lan and Chu Xue to prepare a pot of wine, and she and Shangguan Xiu drank each other in the room. After drinking a glass of wine first, Tang Wanyun looked a little drunk and said meaningfully: "Lord Shangguan, there is something I think I need to remind you. ”

"The county lord has something to say. ”

"The dissatisfaction of the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army with the imperial court is very dangerous, and Lord Shangguan should try his best to control it, if he sits idly by and let it develop, he is afraid that it will make a big mistake in the future. Tang Wanyun said.

The Zhenxi Army is not a dispensable local army now, but a powerful force with a strength of nearly 200,000 people, if the Zhenxi Army is loyal to the imperial court, then it can play a role in Zhenjun as a Dinghai divine needle, no matter how rampant the rebels are, it is impossible to make a fuss, but if the Zhenxi Army also betrays the imperial court and joins forces with the rebels to fight against the imperial court, then the situation in the wind country is precarious. Tang Wanyun can't tolerate this kind of thing happening, if the matter really reaches the point of no return, she will use all means, including finding a way to eradicate Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu looked at Tang Wanyun's seemingly drunken and hazy eyes, but in fact he looked aggressive, and said: "The satisfaction and dissatisfaction of our soldiers with the imperial court, the decision is not on me, and this is not something I can control, Guan Jian still depends on what the imperial court does, if the injustice of the imperial court is too obvious, I can't suppress the emotions of my brothers even if I want to." ”

"I'll deal with the affairs of the imperial court. ”

"If the court is willing to treat the Zhenxi Army well, the Zhenxi Army is naturally willing to do things for the court, if the court treats our Zhenxi Army as a mustard, the county lord also requires the Zhenxi Army not to have any dissatisfaction, and to be willing to die for the court, doesn't the county lord think this request is too much?"

"There are some things that the imperial court may not be able to do in all aspects, and some concepts, the imperial court also needs time to slowly reverse. Tang Wanyun picked up the wine glass, drank another glass of wine, and said: "As the commander of the Zhenxi Army, you should focus on the overall situation, if you really go to the point where you are the enemy of the imperial court, there will be no winner between the imperial court and the Zhenxi army, and the winner will only be Ningnan." ”

"I naturally understand this truth. ”

Tang Wanyun glanced at him, nodded, and said, "You are a smart person, and many things don't need me to say too clearly. As she spoke, she raised her arm and stretched out to Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu was stunned for a moment before reacting, sighed secretly, grabbed her arm, and lifted her from the chair.

Tang Wanyun's amount of alcohol is good, but because of the tiring days of traveling, she is now a little overwhelmed.

She was supported by Shangguan Xiu, walked to the bed, sat down slowly, and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the military field of the school to see the drills of the Zhenxi Army, you can help me arrange it." ”

"Good. Shangguan Xiu agreed.

Tang Wanyun leaned against the bedpost, raised her legs, and rested on the edge of the bed, her little face was tired, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Looking at her quiet appearance when she was resting, and her delicate face revealing tiredness, Shangguan Xiucai suddenly realized that she was actually just a girl of her own age, but the responsibility she carried was much heavier than herself.

He took a deep breath, took two steps back, and was just about to turn around and leave, when Tang Wanyun, who was half-asleep with her eyes closed, opened her mouth and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"The county lord is tired, so I'll take my leave first. Shangguan Xiu nodded and said.

"Help me get dressed. Tang Wanyun's eyes didn't open, and her arms opened naturally.
