The weather in Sinzhou has been very pleasant these days, but it has been raining heavily in the northwest of Dongzhou. [Full text reading]

A large number of people and horses wore robes and hurried in the northwest of Dongzhou.

Passing by, countless Xiliang people looked at this group of people with angry and helpless eyes, because these people were the Northern Tang Dynasty, and they were the Northern Tang Dynasty who destroyed the Western Liang.

There is less anger, more helplessness, and more acceptance of reality. Xiliang has been reckless in military force for many years, and his surname is poor, so he doesn't necessarily really care about the original political power. If you really want to be under the rule of the Northern Tang Dynasty, it is actually more conducive to the surname of Bainan.

This group of men and horses hurried away, and they rushed straight to the northwest, that is, the border between Dongzhou and Beizhou.

"It's raining endlessly. It's really boring. ”

Yan Zichou wiped his face, full of sorrow. The autumn rain is turning cold, and this heavy rain seems to be a sign that the weather is turning cold: "Brother Zhong, we might as well speed up our journey, otherwise it will be more troublesome when the weather is cold." ”

Zhong Yunshi straightened his clothes, blocked the rain, and agreed: "Yes, let's hurry up!"

didn't say much, the two waved their hands, and a large number of people and horses following behind quickly followed, galloping on this muddy road, and couldn't help cursing: "What has Xiliang done for so many years, this road is rotten into such a virtuous xìng, put it in my Northern Tang Dynasty, it has long been impeached." ”

This large number of people followed one after another, although they were dressed in civilian clothes, it can be seen from the temperament of the people, these people seem to be from military background, and most of them have been on the battlefield. Soldiers who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield are obviously very well distinguished.

Several knights, who acted like scouts, quickly poured back from the front and reported the situation ahead. Then, Zhong Yunshi waved his hand, and several knights quickly stepped forward to investigate.

This group of knights galloped on the way, crossed the mountains, and soon came to the field.

After a few days, it gradually approached a place in the northwest.

Wait until the scout in front of you came and said happily: "General Yan, General Zhong, in another fifty miles will be Guishan City." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this was almost the end of their destination.

Suo xìng is not far away, so there is no longer a hurry. Slowing down the horse's speed, all kinds of chatters whispered, and a knight stepped forward: "General Yan, what kind of person is General Wang?"

Yan Zichou scolded his subordinates with a smile: "You ask me, how can I be familiar with him!" After a pause, he looked at Zhong Yunlone: "General Zhong, why don't you talk about it, and let everyone know about our boss." ”

Zhong Yun was silent for a long time: "Brother Yan, you have been stationed in other places, and you must have heard of the name of the king commander. Most of the people nodded, although they were from various provinces, but the name must have been heard.

"Wang Cewang is the commander of the Northern Ya, and he has entered the Southern Ya. I don't have to talk about that. Zhong Yunshan smiled and said: "The name of the king is in the capital city of Jilong, especially a few years ago, he did a lot of great things that year." ”

Zhong Yunlin and a very small number of people who were transferred from Beijing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "General Wang single-handedly entered Beijing to quell the rebellion, and that courage ......" Zhong Yunlin gave a thumbs up: "This has to be this." ”

"Your Majesty favors General Wang, General Wang is in Jingyan City, that reputation is ......" Zhong Yunshan smiled: "Actually, it's not very good, his reputation for turning his face like a book, then everyone in Jingcheng knows it." ”

"I think, it's better to say it to Commander Wang, he has worked with General Wang, and he is the most familiar with it. ”

Everyone's eyes immediately looked at one of the men who was taking off his hat.

......

......

Wang Danian wiped a handful of ice rain, stunned to bear the gaze from everyone, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang is a very smart person, I have worked with him for half a year, and no one has ever been able to deceive him." ”

"Hmm. I heard that he was as cunning as a fox, but I don't know if it's true or not. Yan Zichou seemed curious.

Wang Danian thought about it for a while, and seemed to be very cautious and said: "Anyone who underestimates Lord Wang is all unlucky." It's just that there is a little bit of a laziness for adults, and they don't like to ask about public affairs. However, although he didn't ask much, he knew everything in his heart, and no one could deceive him. ”

Yan Zichou and the others' eyes flashed slightly. Everyone heard a hint of warning in Wang Danian's words.

One of the knights seemed to smile and groaned: "Lord Wang is from the two ya, and his name for cunning is naturally good." However, those are two ya, and governing the army are two different things. ”

"Not necessarily. Wang Danian had a sneer in his eyes, and proudly tǐng waist: "Don't forget, a few years ago, before the rebellion was quelled, it was General Wang who led the Northern Wu Army to attack thousands of miles to help Your Majesty." He placed special emphasis on the suffix general.

Scanning the group of knights with cold eyes, Wang Danian sneered proudly: "My lord can't govern the army, the lower officials don't know." However, adults are good at governing and employing people, no matter what way you come from, under the command of adults, you must be a man with your tail between your legs. ”

"I was not convinced when I first entered Nanya. But what happened later, now from top to bottom, who doesn't want Lord Wang to succeed Lord Xu. Who dares to speak ill of General Wang, hehe......"

Don't think that he, Wang Danian, doesn't understand the minds of these soldiers, it's nothing more than unconvinced Lord Wang. Who dares to disagree with Lord Wang, he Wang Danian is the first to disagree.

Wang Danian sneered, rode his horse and galloped in front, and a cold voice came: "Then I can't spare the first one in Nanya!"

Many knights were silent, perhaps thoughtful, perhaps sneering, perhaps disapproving, or shocked.

"General Yan, when I saw General Wang, I became familiar with it. Zhong Yunxi smiled, his expression was mixed with a hint of warning, he knew very well when he came that his task was not to supervise Wang Ce, and he was not even to assist Wang Ce.

Instead, between Wang Ce and this group of elite generals, he will make peace with the mud, and if necessary, suppress this group of fierce generals. This is the meaning of when His Majesty summoned him alone before he set out from the capital.

Emperor Tang had a will, and Wang Ce went out of the northwest of the town.

Because Wang Ce's previous grade was the title of the fourth grade, he received the fourth grade of the actual position. It was too hasty to serve as the governor of the capital, and the ministers of the court were opposed. Emperor Tang decided to add a position of commander to the army, and Wang Ce would serve as the commander of the northwest.

The Northern Tang Dynasty had a small army, and there was no military unit in charge of this military unit between the town and the government before, and there was no need for this. Therefore, compared with the Great Law, the Governor of the Great Law is the second grade, and the Governor of the Northern Tang Dynasty is only the third grade.

This is a will that is conducive to the interests of the military, and on the premise of the expansion of the army in the Northern Tang Dynasty, there are also actual operational needs, and it is difficult for the ministers to deliberately oppose this appointment.

Therefore, the Tang Emperor added the position of commander this time, and Wang Ce was appointed as the commander of the northwest.

At the same time, considering that there was no war in the northwest, when Wang Ce's new appointment came out, the resolution to abolish the northwest province had already been passed.

In this way, it can be somewhat understood that Yan Zichou and other officers are not convinced, and even don't like Wang Ce's mood. The Northwest Mansion has just leveled Xiliang, and you, Wang Ce, picked the fruits of others with the emperor's favor, what is this?

In particular, Wang Ce was a high-ranking official of the two government offices before and had never been a military commander. There were many precedents for the transfer of officials from the two government offices to the military, but basically all of them started from the commander-in-chief.

For example, Wang Ce transferred to the military and commanded tens of thousands of troops as soon as he came, which was the first in the history of the Northern Tang Dynasty. What's even more incredible is that Wang Ce served as the supreme military commander in the northwest.

It has been almost three months since this decree was announced, and the aftershocks in the Northern Tang Dynasty are still difficult to dissipate.

For in this will there is also a command. Emperor Tang approved the establishment of a commander and a commander in each of the two yas, and promoted Wang Ce to the commander of the two yas. One step further, it is the commander, it is estimated that Xu Chonglou and Zhu Xiangru both feel that Juhuā is very itchy.

From this will, both the ministers and the people clearly realized that a warlord was born across the three fields of intelligence, military affairs, and armed forces.

Whether in name or in fact, Wang Ce was the king of the northwest of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

......

......

Emperor Tang seemed to feel that this was not shocking enough, so he personally named and transferred elite soldiers from Bafu to Wang Ce's Northwest Army.

Yan Zichou and other people are officers who are transferred from Bafu, and Qing Yi Sè is a middle and senior officer who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has outstanding achievements. Seriously, almost all of these people are excellent generals, and they should be unconvinced.

Yan Zichou and the others sneered, full of schadenfreude: "I don't know how the battle of Sin City went, 20,000 against 200,000, the Northwest Commander? ”

I don't know how many people who want to see jokes besiege Sin City with 200,000 allied troops, and with their military literacy, it is clear that Beice Mansion is finished.

However, these officers were on the way, so they never knew the outcome of the battle of Sin City. I don't know even more, the Manchu Dynasty still has a very strong objection, when the results of the battle of the Sin City were transmitted to the Northern Tang Dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces had completely lost their voices at this time.

Fifty miles is not far away, and I rushed to Guishan City.

It is becoming a large military camp, a military fortress, and a large number of civilians are building fortifications.

As soon as he came to this side, he saw the officers who arrived here first, and Yan Zichou and a large number of other officers seemed to ask about the battle of Sin City casually.

Fortunately, this side is already bordering Beizhou, and the news has already arrived. The general had a strange expression on his face: "You don't know yet?"

Yan Zichou suddenly felt wrong: "What do you know?"

The leader scratched his head, and his expression became more and more weird: "The battle of Sin City ended about half a month ago!"

An officer laughed and gloated: "It must be Wang Ce who won, 20,000 against 200,000, how can he be qualified to sit as the commander of the Northwest if he doesn't win." ”

Many officers who had just arrived all burst into laughter: "Yes, he must have won." ”

The general almost burst out laughing, and his face became very weird.

As if sensing the strangeness of the leader, the laughter of the crowd gradually faded until it dissipated, and there was no more laughter.

Yan Zizi frowned, feeling more and more wrong: "You say!"

"Yes, General Yan. The general said solemnly: "General Wang Ce really won, not only won, but also won very beautifully." ”

Many officers almost thought he was joking, and the general continued: "In the battle of Sin City, General Wang annihilated 200,000 coalition troops, and only less than 30,000 coalition troops slipped through the net. ”

The officer corps suddenly couldn't laugh, Yan Zizi opened his mouth wide in gaffe, and couldn't close it for a long time. 20,000 against 200,000, can you completely annihilate the enemy army?

The commander-in-chief finally couldn't help but smile: "You guys have thought about it, General Wang used 200,000 battle spirit troops as a surprise soldier to annihilate the coalition army in one fell swoop. ”

"What is 200,000?" Yan Zichou and the others almost thought they had heard it wrong.

This general leader has a clear bite and says three words word by word!

"War Spirit Army! General Wang Cewang's War Spirit Army!"

Perhaps it should be said that the war spirit army of the Northwest King of the Northern Tang Dynasty !。
