Li Mao couldn't help but shake her head and smile when she thought of these things.

After the people crossed, the warriors from all over the world came to worship.

And I have been through more than a month, but there is no talent who has taken the initiative to take refuge.

The only person who came was an uneducated person who couldn't even read a word, and he actually wanted the position of the county king.

"Since Xiao Jiong wants the county king, what if I give him a county king?"

The tone in Li Mao's mouth was very contemptuous, and there was no intention of inquiry.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As a eunuch, Wei Zhongxian naturally completely obeyed the emperor's wishes.

Li Mao thought for a moment and said: "The seat of the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu is in Liangzhou, so how about I make Xiao Jiong the king of Liangzhou?" ”

At this time, if Xiao Song is present, he can still give some advice.

Wei Zhongxian was also a person with no knowledge, so naturally he couldn't put forward his opinion, so he could only say: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

"You go down and have a good rest first, and then rush back to Chang'an overnight in the evening."

Li Mao looked at him with a tired look on his face and knew that it was time for him to rest.

After all, after traveling nearly 500 miles overnight, even an iron body can't stand it.

……

Xiaoguan battlefield.

Because of Xiao Jiong, there has been no battle for five consecutive days.

Wang Zhongsi was quietly waiting for Li Longji's reply from Luoyang.

With Guanzhong blocked, it would take at least half a month for the impeachment letter to reach Luoyang.

By the time I received the reply, it was almost a month later.

So at this time, Wang Zhongsi was not in a hurry, but hid in the tent every day to read the military book.

"Wang Jiedu, aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Huangfu Weiming was quite anxious in his heart.

He had to come to the camp once a day.

"What's the use of being in a hurry? As long as I don't get rid of Xiao Song for a day, it will be impossible for me to send troops to attack the city again! ”

Wang Zhongsi held the military book in his hand and did not raise his head.

Seeing this, Huangfu Wei sighed: "You have the style of Zhuge Wuhou, the old man has already come, it is not as good as you young people have concentration." ”

"Hmm!"

Wang Zhongsi was reading the book vigorously, and replied casually perfunctorily.

"Whether Xiao Jiong has any objections or not, it's all your guess and mine, what if Your Majesty doesn't agree to remove him from office?" Huangfu Weiming asked.

Wang Zhongsi buried his head and said: "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I will take extraordinary measures at that time!" ”

The meaning of his words seemed to be that he had already made up his mind to kill Xiao Jiong.

Huangfu Weiming asked again: "Then why wait for His Majesty's edict? will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. ”

But he meant to kill Xiao Jiong directly, so as not to delay time.

Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said: "This matter is urgent, although our army can't afford to delay, but the enemy army can't afford to delay." ”

"I have ordered people to cut off the grain route of the enemy's large camp outside the city, but the grain route of our army is very smooth, so there is no need to worry at all."

"The main reason is that the Hexi Army is the border army with the strongest combat effectiveness in our Tang Dynasty, and it will not be good if we rashly kill the Hexi Jiedu envoy, which will cause the Chishui Army, the Dadou Army, the Jiankang Army, the Ningkou Army, the Yumen Army, the Moli Army, the Doulu Army, the Xinquan Army and other troops to rebel."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhongsi buried his head in the book again.

It seems that the content of the book is more important than Xiao Jiong.

Huangfu Weiming asked suspiciously: "Then what is the difference between killing us now and killing in a month?" If His Majesty does not agree to replace the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu, is it not possible to trigger a rebellion among the various departments of the Hexi Army? ”

At this time, Wang Zhongsi put down his book and strode outside the camp tent, overlooking the Hexi Army camp not far away.

"There is the barracks of the Chishui Army, there is the barracks of the Dadou Army, and there is the barracks of the Jiankang Army, and there are 70,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, of which 30,000 are cavalry. Far better equipped than our Shuofang Army and Longyou Army. ”

"Look at the position of the camp of the three armies, are they aiming at the combination of our Shuofang and Longyou army camp tents?"

"As long as there is a stir, the Hexi Army can easily divide us into two pieces."

"That's why I will kill Xiao Jiong, if he didn't have malicious intent, he would never have arranged the three armies full of cavalry in such an important place."

Wang Zhongsi said as he kept gesturing with his hands, and when an accident occurred, the Hexi Army might have an offensive route.

Huangfu Weiming realized that he was almost surrounded by Lu Bu and Xiao Jiong.

"Wang Jiedu, our two armies are actually in such a dangerous situation! Let's quickly find a way to trick Xiao Jiong over and kill him, if you are worried that others will rebel, it is better to trick him and kill him together. ”

Huangfu Weiming's expression was flustered, and his eyebrows were full of worry.

At this time, the picture of Xiao Jiong breaking through his camp already appeared in his mind.

Wang Zhongsi said with a smile: "Don't be anxious about the emperor's festival, he will have his own countermeasures." ”

In the past two days, he has been sending his cronies to bribe the generals of the Hexi Army.

And the effect is not bad, the Ningkou Army, the Yumen Army, the Moli Army, the Doulu Army, and the Xinquan Army have made their intention clear.

The entire Hexi Army, except for the Chishui Army, the Dadou Army, and the Jiankang Army, which clearly expressed their opposition, the other troops that did not express their stance were all ambiguous.

Obviously, these people will choose to wait and see when they do it.

During the war, Wang Zhongsi didn't want to hurt the combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army.

So he was still trying to get any of the three cavalry to take refuge.

As long as there is a force that shows its support, then Wang Zhonghei will act as soon as possible.

He had no intention of waiting for the emperor to reply to the edict.

Everything was just a trick for him to let go, and even Huangfu Weiming was deceived by him.

At this time.

Xiao Jiong was also deceived.

There is an undercurrent surging in the Hexi army, and he is naturally very clear as the main general.

He also vaguely heard rumors that Shuofang Jiedu had made Wang Zhongji impeach himself for participating in the rebellion, and was waiting for the emperor's edict to arrive, and he was going to take over the Hexi army.

"Why hasn't Chang'an's reply arrived yet?"

Xiao Jiong restlessly walked out of the tent and looked in the southeast direction, except for a few scattered stars, there was nothing.

This is the twelfth time he has stepped out of the tent today.

"It's been five days, and logically speaking, the reply should have arrived?"

From here to Chang'an City, it only takes a day to walk the trail.

Xiao Jiong didn't know that Li Mao had arrived at the front line of Tongguan, so he was very worried when he saw that he hadn't replied for a long time.

"Could it be that your price is too high? I knew that I shouldn't have asked for the position of the county king! ”

Xiao Jiong secretly regretted it as he walked back to the tent.

He didn't want to drag it out any longer.

The rumors spread in the barracks, he believed at least seven points.

Thinking that Wang Zhongji was sharpening his knife and looking at him, he couldn't help but shudder.

Suddenly.

Xiao Jiong, who had just finished the cold war, felt a chill again, approaching the vest.

"Who?"

Xiao Jiong asked in a low voice, his eyes staring straight at the extra shadow on the ground.
