Xu Han figured out the key, looked at Ling Zirui who was kneeling on the ground again, and spoke in a calm voice.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that this matter in our army has nothing to do with Mr. Ling Zirui."

As soon as these words came out, not only General Zhengwang, but even Jiang Yao and Ling Zirui themselves were shocked.

General Zhengwang frowned again and again, while Ling Zirui was surprised, they naturally didn't understand why Xu Han wanted to exonerate Ling Zirui.

Xu Han couldn't care about the thoughts of his boss General Zhengwang at the moment.

Ling Zirui is full of wealth, such a resourceful military advisor, he has the idea of taking Ling Zirui for his own use.

If Xu Han wants to establish himself as a king, what he needs most is talent, and if he can bring a talent like Ling Zirui under his command, it is better to be like a fish in water.

So he wants to help Ling Zirui speak, so as to win Ling Zirui's favor.

"General Xu Bijiang, what do you mean by this?" There was some displeasure in Emperor Li's tone.

"Dongwu and Yunlin are relatively close, and Ling Junshi's meticulous work has no time to send new information to His Majesty in time.

As a political enemy, Xu Han said Ling Zirui's heart fairly, and Ling Zirui's face couldn't help but pass a little grateful.

Emperor Li's expression became more and more gloomy, and it was obvious that Xu Han's explanation seemed to him not so much that Xuan Jun was treacherous, but rather that he was praising the other party's resourcefulness.

This made Emperor Li sound very harsh.

Xu Han had already settled Emperor Li's mind, and immediately sneered: "It's a pity that Xuan Jun's treachery is just a clown jumping off the beam in front of His Majesty." Your Majesty returned to the heart of the world, with the banner of recovering the Tang Dynasty, 150,000 male soldiers waved up, even if yesterday's battle of Yunlin, the Xuan army took a small advantage with treacherous tricks, but in the end it was also a grasshopper shaking the tree, and it was difficult to defeat the army of His Majesty's emperor. ”

Emperor Li listened to it comfortably, and the sentence "clown jumping beam" made Emperor Li feel excited, and his gloomy face dispersed.

In the eyes of Emperor Li, all the kings of the world are like ants, and in his eyes, Xuan Guo is just a slightly bigger clown.

Xu Han's words hit the base point of Emperor Li.

"Haha-" Emperor Li stroked his beard and laughed, "General Xu Bi is right, my 150,000 army is crushing up, and Ren Xuan's army is making conspiracies and tricks, how can I resist my country's Tianwei!" ”

Emperor Li was so happy that he was slapped by the sycophants, and put the blame for Ling Zirui behind, and immediately ordered the whole army to cross the river and attack Yunrin again.

The military conference is over.

Ling Zirui, who was secretly happy, and Jiang Yao, who was annoyed, returned to the account together.

"Ling Zirui, when did you say that Xu Han became so sophisticated and sophistry, obviously we designed him, but in the end, he coaxed His Majesty so happy." Jiang Yao's face was suspicious.

Ling Zirui also said curiously: "Yes, I also think it's incredible, Xu Han has always been brave and unscrupulous, and today's performance in front of His Majesty really surprised me." And there's another thing I don't understand, why did he take the initiative to defend me? ”

Jiang Yao shook his head, and the two looked at each other blankly.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Yao said hatefully: "Xu Han caused us to lose face in front of Your Majesty today, this account must be recovered, and I will never give up." ”

"I think you should suppress your anger for the time being, after all, the big war is imminent, Xu Han is a fierce general under General Zhengwang, and he still has to pass the level of General Zhengwang to deal with him, and the matter of revenge will be long, so you must not spoil Your Majesty's major affairs because of this."

Ling Zirui was a little grateful because it was Xu Han who defended him, so he didn't want to target Xu Han again.

Jiang Yao snorted coldly, but the resentful look between his eyebrows still continued unabated.

……

The open and secret battle of the dragon tent gave Xu Han a deeper insight into the internal disputes in the Yi country.

Although all dynasties have had this kind of power struggle, it is not a good thing to fall into it in troubled times now.

Moreover, Emperor Li's imperial methods really made Xu Han despise and criticize.

Xu Han realized that he had to get rid of Emperor Li as soon as possible, and get out of this whirlpool court full of open guns and hidden arrows, but the time had not yet come, and Xu Han had to endure a little.

Xu Han said that Li Zhenwei's army was a "dignified" army, and although there were apologies, the advantage in the number of the Yi army was overwhelming.

Although the Xuan army is elite, the absolute disadvantage in numbers also makes the Xuan country really have some tragedy of "ants shaking trees".

The next few days.

The 150,000 Yi national army marched up, and the Xuan national army did not dare to compete with it, so they took the initiative to give up Yunlin and led the people to retreat south.

On the way to retreat, the Xuan army took the initiative several times and tried every means to prevent the Yi army from entering, but the disparity in strength was too great, and finally had to retreat tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the main camp of Shanchun City fifty miles away.

Shanchun is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, on the verge of Bianshui, the west of the chasm canal is a pass, and the east goes down to Huaihui, which is the northern barrier of the imperial city of Xuanguo.

If you want to seize Kaifeng of Xuanguo, you must break Shanchun City.

Emperor Deng had apparently anticipated a decisive battle with Emperor Li here, so a year earlier, he had built a very solid fortress and perfect fortifications in Shanchun.

In order to break through Shanchun City, Emperor Li tried all kinds of methods, first piled up a mountain of earth, condescendingly shot with a crossbowman, but was broken by the thunderbolt of the Xuan army, and then used a trebuchet to try to break through the city gate, but was still blocked back.

The 150,000 Yi army stormed Shanchun City for two months, but still could not break through.

In the afternoon of this day, Xu Han was sent to secretly monitor Feng Binbin's eyeliner because he had a careful eye, and he actually brought back the news, saying that Feng Binbin had made a request to Emperor Li to send him to lead the army to the south and incorporate the chaotic army in the south to threaten the south of the imperial city of Xuan.

"Feng Binbin ......"

When Xu Han heard the news, his heart moved, and he immediately got up and rushed to Li Zhenwei's big tent in the Chinese army.

Inside the dragon tent of the Chinese army.

Emperor Li was watching the picture at the desk, with Ling Zirui by his side.

After Xu Han entered the account to greet the salute, he asked directly: "Your Majesty, the last general heard that Feng Binbin invited Ying, and he led his troops to the south to lead the rebellious army, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Although there are many rebel troops, it is a pity that there is no one to lead them, since Feng Binbin took the initiative to ask for help, how can I not allow it." Li Zhenwei said lightly.

Xu Han frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that Feng Binbin's move is suspicious, and Your Majesty must not allow it." ”

Emperor Li was stunned, and his face showed suspicion.

Ling Zirui next to him, his expression also changed slightly.

"Feng Binbin used to be the leader of the Later Liang rebellion, and now it's okay to be attached to His Majesty's side, but once he is allowed to go to the south, won't he let the tiger return to the mountain? As soon as he went, he would think that he must be trying to take the opportunity to turn his back on His Majesty. ”

Xu Han "damaged" Feng Binbin, but what he said was just a guess, and no one was sure whether it was true or not.

Emperor Li had a calm expression, but he quickly gloodied, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

Xu Han took advantage of the situation and said: "I really don't hide it from Your Majesty, during the battle of Yunlin before, the last general had fought with Ji Fanqi, the enemy general of Xuan State, but Feng Binbin found the last general to ask about Ji Fanqi, and finally repeatedly begged the last general not to report to Your Majesty. ”

"Is that so?" Emperor Li was surprised.

Although Xu Han had promised Feng Binbin not to tell Li Zhenwei about it, at this time, in order to get out, he could only say nothing.

Xinyi also depends on the timing.

In this troubled world, blind faith will only lead to death without a place to be buried.

Xu Han didn't know what medicine Feng Binbin bought in the gourd, so he said it half-truthfully, which made Emperor Li suspicious.
