In the second year of Taiwu, on October 23, Yangqu County Temple is also a place to stay.

"Raise the account!"

With this order, the points outside the festival hall will be puffed up, and the military officials who have been waiting on both sides have rushed in.

In the hall, Wang Yun at this time was dressed in green clothes and purple ribbons, wearing a Jinxian crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist, showing the majesty of the Han family's 2,000 stones.

Behind him were two military officials, one holding the festival granted by the Son of Heaven, and the other holding the seal of Wang Yun, standing solemnly.

After the warriors outside came in, they stood solemnly and waited quietly according to their ranks. There were also two lines of samurai standing outside the festival hall, each with helmets and armor, holding large axes, also silent.

So, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Waiting for everyone to stand, Wang Yun coughed lightly, and then glanced at the group of officials below with his eyes. And the people below also bowed their heads, not daring to offend Wang Yun's majesty.

I don't blame these people for being scared of Wang Yun, just because at this time, how could Wang Yun still have the conversation and laughter with Guo Lin before? The whole person was cold and majestic all of a sudden.

Today is the first time Wang Yun has raised his account to meet the generals, and he doesn't want to say anything, he glanced at Guo Lin at the bottom and motioned for him to speak.

At this time, Guo Lin sat under Wang Yun, and in fact, the leading power in the army was handed over to Wang Yun.

This will be the first time Wang Yun has seen everyone, and many people can't recognize it, so Guo Lin opened his mouth first to break the ice and pave the way for the later task arrangement.

Guo Lin didn't speak for the first time, but held up the silk book on the desk and said to the people below:

"This is an edict written by His Majesty, which was brought by the king's eunuch and the army, so let's take a look."

And when he spoke, he passed down the edict.

None of the generals present had ever seen the emperor's handwriting, which would be both exciting and exciting, and one person would pass it on to the people behind him after reading it.

The content of this edict is very simple, that is, to say something inspiring and encouraging morale, the little emperor attaches great importance to the war in the state, saying that the fight against the Taishan army thieves is not only for the country but also for the family, so that they can resist to the end.

But even with such substantial words, some of the officers cried. They only felt that they had a heavy burden on their shoulders, and it seemed that fighting to the death could comfort His Majesty's ardent hopes.

Judging from the attitudes of these martial artists, they are still very loyal to the Han family. Yes, compared to the unfair treatment of the warriors of Liangzhou, the Han family is indeed much better to Bingzhou.

It is no wonder that in the other plane, the warriors of the state are always the main force supporting the Han family.

And this will, Wang Yun, who is at the top, has been paying attention to the expressions of these military officials, and he is very satisfied when he sees the emotions shown by these people. You said that these people have no performance ingredients, Wang Yun thinks that there must be, but this is the attitude he wants.

At this time, a general stood up and said directly to Wang Yun:

"Confessor, don't worry, Your Majesty is supervising the war with you, and our brothers are using their lives, and we will be able to guard my three levels and protect the safety of Taiyuan. His generation is the best at demagogizing the people, and the people of Guanbei communicate with thieves, but my three defense chiefs are different, and they are loyal to the Han family from top to bottom, and they are determined to kill thieves. Therefore, please rest assured, we must not only hold the three levels, but also let the Taishan thieves come and go. ”

This was said very strongly, but it was also very unashamed, Wang Yun had an inquiring look on his face, obviously asking who this was.

Guo Lin, who had been looking at Wang Yun, reacted and hurriedly explained:

"This is Xun Cheng, the chief of defense who won the battle of Yikou Pass, and I have just come down to meet you."

When Wang Yun heard that this person was Xun Cheng, he was overjoyed, looked Xun Cheng up and down, and said:

"If you are a loyal minister of my Han family, you fought well, for the sake of my Taiyuan people, you have been wronged."

So Wang Yun can speak, Xun Cheng burst into tears when he said this, and he cried even more:

"The end will not be hard. Defending the land and protecting the people is the duty of the last general. The last general understands that if the Taishan thieves are allowed to enter Taiyuan, it will be a county crying, compared to this, what is it for my family to cry? ”

When Wang Yun heard this, he directly patted the case happily, he even walked down, took Xun Cheng's hand, grasped his hand, and patted it gently:

"yes, that's a good point. A county is not as good as a family crying, if everyone does this, this mountain and river will be forever, and the Han family will be far away? Gentlemen, you must follow Xun Jun's example. ”

No matter what the generals present and state think, they kept echoing on the scene.

Wang Yun gave Xun Cheng enough face, and then asked:

"Xun Jun, how is the battle on the front line now?"

Xun Cheng hurriedly replied:

"Since the end of the day before yesterday, the thieves were foiled and fell, and they launched several attacks, but they were all defeated by our soldiers. After that, the Tarzan thieves who had been locked up suddenly burned the camp and left. But the last general did not ignore it, but continued to let the subordinates guard the pass, and explained what should be done before going south. ”

Wang Yun smiled, he patted Xun Cheng's palm, and then said slowly:

"Xun Jun is so meticulous, I should be relieved. It's just that the Taishan thief is a giant in the end, and his first Zhang Chong is quite resourceful, and he can win people's hearts and death, which is really the first class of my Han family. His generation will not be willing to frustrate the city now. Therefore, after the Yiyangqu army goes north to Yikou Pass, I will make general preparations for you. So Xun Jun, you fight hard, I am your backing. ”

Wang Yun's words not only caught Xun Cheng off guard, but everyone present, including Guo Lin, was shocked, especially Guo Lin, this is about going to the front line from the rear, and you Wang Yun haven't told me about it.

But this will, in order to take care of Wang Yun's authority, Guo Lin just opened his mouth, and he still didn't say this in the end.

At this time, Guo Lin's face was gloomy, and it was hard not to wonder if this was taking his army.

Over there, Guo Lin's face was pale, but here Xun Cheng was already grateful, and he held Wang Yun's hand:

"The last general will dare not to die."

Wang Yun patted Xun Cheng's back, then looked around at the generals, especially at Guo Lin, and then said loudly:

"Since the end of the first emperor, our Han family has been suffering from internal and external troubles, and there has been no peace. The people are displaced from the cold and summer, and the world is hot. This has reached the predicament and crisis of our Han family for 200 years. At this time, there was a giant thief Taishan army out, called the king system, and caused chaos in the north. So far, he has gone down to three states, killed four marshals, and is very dangerous. And now God is fortunate that his generation has died by himself. I have already received definite news, that is, the army of the imperial court is already on the way, and a large net is being laid here, intending to wipe out the thief army in the Yiding Basin. So here I want to fierce gentlemen, this time is the rise and fall of my imperial country, repay the country's kindness, seek wealth and nobility at this time, and if this battle disappoints His Majesty, let Bingzhou disappoint, then Hugh said What kind of family background do you have, my Wang Yun is the first to kill you! ”

Wang Yun's words were murderous and awe-inspiring, and everyone present was silent. They were digesting Wang Yun's information, and the most important thing was that the Guanxi soldiers had already come to help, and they were going to fight, which made some of them not look so good.

Because the Kansai soldiers are foreign soldiers, and the contradictions between the main and guest soldiers since ancient times cannot be resolved. Not to mention, they still have to go out to fight, aren't they still the ones who die?

So some people look at Guo Lin and hope that he will come out to talk.

After all, compared with going out to fight in the field, both the difficulty and the risk are incomparable.

Guo Lin did have something to say, and now he is very sure that Wang Yun arranged such a battle to capture the army. The anger in his heart is already extremely strong, after all, yesterday the two of them were still drinking and talking about old fun, and today you will give us a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

What he said just now was completely different from what everyone was concerned about. What does Wang Yun mean by what he said about beheading the generals who were ineffective in battle?

The power of reward and punishment is the authority of the main general, if it is taken away by Wang Yun, how can he Guo Lin lead the army.

So he decided that he couldn't give Wang Yun this face, otherwise he would really think that my old Guo was a face.

So Guo Lin also stood up.

And when Guo Lin stood up, Wang Yun suddenly said another word. I saw him pointing to the knots held by the generals behind him, and said coldly:

"This is the festival that Your Majesty has bestowed upon me. The festival is here, as if His Majesty is here. Anyone under 2,000 stone can be killed! ”

Then as if he had just seen Guo Lin stand up, he slowly turned to look at Guo Lin, and said indifferently:

"General Guo, are you standing up against it?"

Guo Lin suddenly clenched his fists, his forehead was bruised, and he shouted:

"I am willing to listen to the instructions of the confessor, and I and the state generals will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations."

At this time, Guo Lin's henchmen and henchmen suddenly preached in unison:

"I am willing to listen to the instructions of the confessor, and I and the state generals will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations."

Wang Yun didn't care about this demonstration, but said indifferently:

"The army can't be without a head, since the army is going to go to the front later, it must be pinched. Originally, of course, General Guo was the head, but I don't understand military affairs, and I want to keep General Guo by my side as a counselor, so there must be someone in charge of this front. In this way, I propose to elect Xun Cheng, which of you is in favor and who is against? ”

After speaking, Wang Yunhu swept everyone, and the atmosphere present froze.

At this time, Xun Cheng's mouth was full of bitterness, he knew that he had been involved in a whirlpool of power struggle, how could Xun Cheng, who was simply willing to serve the country, not be bitter?

Is Xun Cheng stupid? He's not stupid! People always say that he is pedantic, but he knows that this is faith and ethics.

Others spend a lot of money to bribe the defense minister, because those places rely on business to make money and water. But Xun Cheng doesn't bribe, he is defending the frontier for the country, and he has to give money himself?

So he was assigned to Yikou Pass, where no one cared about, and then stayed for six years.

And when the Taishan army went south, everyone had to operate to the rear, so Xun Cheng continued to guard the customs chief, because as he said, this is his duty. So he stayed.

And when his nephew abandoned the army and fled, he killed him without hesitation. The reason is very simple, the person who abandoned the army and fled deserved to die, what does it have to do with whether he is his nephew or not? So he killed.

But now, when Wang Yun wanted to promote himself to be the chief general of the first army in front of all the generals, he found that he hesitated.

Xun Cheng, are you wrong?

No, I'm not wrong. People have always said that I was wrong because I didn't stand tall enough. When I became the leader of the army, was I still wrong?

At this time, he thought of his six years in the prison, and also thought of the eyes of his nephew who was dying and looked at him, Xun Cheng suddenly came out of the queue and kowtowed to Wang Yun:

"The last general will not give in!"

Wang Yun laughed:

"Okay, good, this is what my Han family will plant, what I want is this one to be the best and face the difficulties!"

After that, Wang Yun said to Xun Cheng:

"Now, please Xun Jun to give instructions to the generals."

Xun Cheng held back his excitement, stabilized his mind, and said to the generals present:

"You and I are colleagues, so I won't say anything superfluous. There is only one sentence to say to everyone, that is, the affairs of our martial artists are very simple. Whoever gives the order, let's do it, don't think so much. Whoever doesn't do it to the death will be guilty of violating our military law, and I will kill him no matter who he is. You know me, and I don't care what the atmosphere in the army was in the past, but from now on, we will do it according to our pure martial artists. Don't complain, this is the fate of our warriors. If you don't die on the battlefield, do you still want to die on the couch? ”

After saying that, the state generals were in turmoil in their hearts, and of course they knew Xun Cheng's character.

This madman is really going to kill them.

The atmosphere becomes heavy and oppressive.

At this time, Wang Yun sang with a smile, he clapped his hands and comforted the generals:

"You also heard Xun Jun's words just now, I hope you all keep it in mind and be a pure martial artist. You can rest assured, Your Majesty is now an immortal hero, and he can prosper my Han family. Everything you have done for the Han family, I will tell Your Majesty truthfully, and he will repeat the mountains and rivers day by day, and the hall will be full of blue and purple flowers. Gentlemen, work hard! ”

At this point, what else can everyone do, and finally Guo Lin took the lead, and everyone responded in unison:

"Whoa!"

After that, the military meeting ended like this, and Guo Lin was depressed and was about to go out, but Wang Yun was left alone.

When the people were gone, Wang Yun looked at the expressionless Guo Lin and sneered:

"Lao Guo, you won't blame me, right!"

Guo Lin was so angry by this sentence that his whole body trembled, he had already taken away his military power, and he was still blaming him for being angry! What is this not murder?

Guo Lin slapped the case a few times and scolded:

"Wang Yun, am I sorry for you? I'll help you a lot! Can you have now, I'm not a small contribution, right? ”

Wang Yun was not frightened, and even nodded in agreement with Guo Lin's words.

"But what about you, Wang Yun? Not only are you grateful, but you also stabbed me and took away my military power, why are you so shameless? ”

Wang Yun didn't look ashamed, and asked rhetorically:

"Lao Guo, are you the general of the Han family or the general of the state?"

Guo Lin was stunned for a moment:

"Don't you give me this trick and fool the ignorant martial arts? Return to the Han family and merge the state, what is the difference between you telling me? Aren't you from the state in the army? Aren't you from the state behind it? ”

Wang Yun sighed at this time, with a sad face:

"Lao Guo, you don't know the current situation in the imperial court, let's catch the soldiers in our hands."

After speaking, Wang Yun also pointed to the sky, and the meaning was obvious.

Guo Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally struggled:

"What does that have to do with taking my soldiers? I can also share your Majesty's worries! Does Your Majesty doubt my loyalty? ”

Wang Yun shook his head and sighed:

"Yes, you can indeed share your worries for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty trusts me more, and still wants me to capture and state soldiers."

Guo Lin choked, and her mind was in a mess.

After that, Wang Yun said something about the overall situation of the court, but Guo Lin didn't listen to it, and when he finally came out of the festival hall, his whole head was buzzing.

He glanced at the gloomy sky and turned his head to look at the knots behind him, only to feel distorted.

There are more than ten generals waiting for Guo Lin outside, all of whom are Guo's henchmen. When they saw Guo Lin come out, they hurriedly surrounded him and asked.

Faced with everyone's inquiries, for a long time, Guo Lin sighed:

"We are not from the state, this time there will be a river of blood."

After speaking, he turned his head to the north, where was the direction of the Taishan army, and he only felt that his eyes were full of blood.
