"General Gao is really excellent in acting."

In the Chinese military tent, Chen Wanggao sat in the first seat, slowly drinking sobering tea.

"If it weren't for someone reporting to me that someone from the Ten Thousand Thieves Army entered General Gao's Chinese army tent in the middle of the night and stayed for a whole hour, I'm afraid that this time the boat would really capsize in the gutter."

Chen Wang's voice was not loud or heavy, but when it fell on Gao Qian's ears, it was as cold as the winter wind.

Chen Wang, as the chief soldier and the general who hung the seal, instead called him General Gao, which was undoubtedly beating him.

Gao Qian knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, he tried his best to lean against his body, lowered his head, and couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

He had no doubt that Chen Wang could directly take him down on the spot because of this incident.

If it were other generals, other generals, Gao Qian would definitely not have much fear.

But now it is no one else who is sitting at the top, but Chen Wang.

When he was in the northern country, as the superintendent, Sun Chuanting gave Chen Wang a Shangfang sword and asked Chen Wang to kill Chen Guowei, who was the chief soldier of a town at that time.

knew that it was unreasonable, but Chen Wang still obeyed the order.

And Chen Wang really led the cavalry under his command to travel hundreds of miles every day, galloping under the stars, and went straight to the barracks in Jizhou Town.

In front of thousands of battalions of soldiers in Jizhou Town, he asked Shang Fangjian to kill Chen Guowei, who was the chief soldier, on the spot.

"General......

Gao Qian's throat swelled, and he wanted to defend himself.

At that time, when Chen Wang led the cavalry of the Hanzhong Army to turn, Gao Qian already knew that the situation was wrong.

So soon, after a fierce ideological struggle, Gao Qian ordered his subordinates to really attack the military formation of the Wanmin Army.

The Wanmin Army has already been defeated, and Gao Qian does not want to fall to the bottom with the Wanmin Army and be buried together.

It's just that he never thought that the Wanmin Army said that it was cooperating with him, and it was secretly guarding against him, causing heavy losses to his subordinates.

Gao Qian wanted to defend that he was just making a false deal with Li Yan, pretending to agree to Li Yan's request to make him take it lightly, and then suddenly attack at the last moment.

But when the words came to an end, Gao Qian was still unable to speak in the end.

I don't know why, a chill slowly rose from the bottom of Gao Qian's heart, and he had a feeling that if the words were spoken, he would not be far from death.

There was silence in the big tent, and the needles could be heard.

Gao Qian knelt on the ground, dense cold sweat was oozing from the palms of his hands, the backs of his hands and his body.

"General, because of the resentment of Gao Xun in his heart, he lost his mind under anger, so he colluded with the army of ten thousand thieves."

"Now that I come back to my senses, I regret my humble position."

Gao Qian clenched his fists, and now, in order to be able to save his life, he has completely let it go.

"If the general does not give up, in the future, he will only look forward to the general's horse, be a lackey of the general's door, and make up for his mistakes!"

Qubbling is definitely a dead end, Gao Qian is convinced of this, he can feel the fierce killing intent on Chen Wang's body.

But if he says any wrong word, he may not be able to get out of this military account.

This is the only way for Gao Qian to think of that can make him live.

In the west of Kaifeng City, his subordinates had more than 400 cavalry, but these cavalry were not the elite of his own department.

Gao Qian's family did not have many casualties, and most of the cavalry killed were the remnants of the rest of the battalions who fled to Xiangfu, and he just united them.

Now in Xiangfu, among the defeated soldiers, Gao Qian's military rank is the highest, so all the defeated soldiers in Xiangfu are under the jurisdiction of Gao Qian.

Gao Qian knelt on the ground, clenched his teeth, and waited for the final judgment.

I don't know how long it has been, just when Gao Qian was about to faint because of the long kneeling and high mental tension, Chen Wang's voice sounded in Gao Qian's ears.

"Xiangfu, how many soldiers are there now?"

Chen Wang's fluttering words made Gao Qian almost cry with joy.

Because Chen Wang asked this sentence now, he undoubtedly promised to spare him from the side.

"General Huiyu, there were originally 4,000 soldiers in Xiangfu, all of whom were remnants of the defeated soldiers who retreated from Zhengzhou, and they were all cavalry."

"After the first battle yesterday, more than 400 horses were lost, and some of them were overwhelmed because of the excessive consumption of horsepower when they rushed back."

"There are still more than 3,800 people, and there are only more than 3,100 horses left."

The current rout in Xiangfu County is all cavalry, and there is no infantry.

After winning the Battle of Zhengzhou, Li Yan led the army to attack Kaifeng non-stop.

Chasing and killing the defeated soldiers from the Zhengzhou battlefield along the road, the foot soldiers had no chance to escape back to Kaifeng.

The Ming troops who fled to the outside of Kaifeng were all cavalry without exception.

Along the way, most of them didn't even dare to rest, and they all fled back to Kaifeng at any cost.

Gao Qian swallowed his saliva, more than 3,000 horsemen, this is all his bargaining chips at this stage.

"Three thousand eight hundred ......"

Chen Wang put down the teacup in his hand, sat up straight, and looked down at Gao Qian, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to breathe.

Gao Qian did not quibble, but chose to beg for mercy, which indeed saved his own life.

Originally, Chen Wang's plan was to kill Gao Qian, temporarily and directly take over the rout army now stationed in Xiangfu, and then find an opportunity to make arrangements again.

But now that Gao Qian is so knowledgeable, Chen Wang also has a better way.

"You are indeed a smart person, since you want a chance, then I will give you a chance."

Chen Wang's body moved forward slightly, propped one hand on his knees, and leaned on the armrest of the seat with the other, looking at Gao Qian who was kneeling on the ground.

"It's cold on the ground, get up and answer."

"I will return to the patrol lord and say that you have received my orders, and the ten thousand thieves are false and wronged, and the thieves are paralyzed, everything is in the plan."

"If the documents of the victory are passed down like this, you can even be blessed by misfortune, and it is not impossible for the official to be promoted to the next level."

"When the edict is handed down, it should be changed at that time, and you will be called a senior general when the time comes."

Gao Qian straightened up and stood up, but when he heard Chen Wang's last words, he immediately pushed Jin Shan, and the inverted jade pillar knelt down again.

"The general is gracious, and he is humble...... Humble ...... Humble duty must be kept in mind! ”

Because he was too excited, Gao Qian was already a little incoherent at this time.

From hell to heaven, everything was just because of Chen Wang's fluttering words.

Originally, Gao Qian felt that he was not far from death, and it was already a blessing in misfortune to be able to save his life.

But now not only has his life been saved, but he has even been promoted to a rank and promoted to a general.

Although the imperial edict has not yet come down, Chen Wang has already spoken.

Chen Wang, who is the greatest hero of this battle, undoubtedly has a great influence on the exposition of war exploits.

Now the military and political affairs in Kaifeng City are still nominally under the jurisdiction of Gao Mingheng, but in fact they have been taken over by Chen Wang.

After the defeat of Zhengzhou, in the whole of Henan, Chen Wang has the most soldiers and horses, the largest power, and the highest official position.

Even if the new governor arrives in Henan, I am afraid that he will have to rely on Chen Wang in the matter of suppression.

Today's world is becoming more and more chaotic, and the more soldiers in the hands of military generals, the greater the power......

"The night is already deep, and I still have military affairs to deal with, so I will no longer stay high."

Chen Wang picked up the teacup in his hand and gave the order to evict customers.

"The general rests early, and retires first."

Gao Qian knelt on the ground and bowed again, before daring to retreat outside the tent.

Just as Gao Qian pushed the curtain to the tent and was about to leave the tent, Chen Wang raised his head at this time, and slowly said a word, making Gao Qian's figure freeze directly in place.

"The tall birds are good and perched, the virtuous ministers choose the master and support, and the back is dark, and the common sense of the ancients."

"Decades later, when Gao Guerrilla recalls this time, he will inevitably thank himself for making this choice."

Gao Qian's face was pale, his legs trembled like chaff, and even his teeth couldn't help but tremble, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

Chen Wang's words were too familiar to him.

Because this sentence is what Song Xiance, the military advisor of the Wanmin Army, said to him in his tent a few days ago.

Except that the word general has become a guerrilla, there is no difference at all between what Chen Wang said and what Song Xiance said.

Gao Qian, who was standing at the door of the tent, felt like falling into an ice cave, his hands and feet were cold, and it was difficult to think.

At that time, in the tent, it was either his confidant military academy or his personal guard attendant.

How could what Song Xiance said be known by Chen Wang, and he knew it so clearly.

Gao Qian's heart was cold, and there was no luck in his heart.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Chen Wang, who was sitting at the top of the tent.

Chen Wang still maintained his previous sitting posture, slowly drinking the tea in the cup, and his eyes were still as unwavering as before.

It's just that when Chen Wang's eyes moved, Gao Qian only felt that he didn't have the slightest secret in Chen Wang's eyes, and his every move couldn't escape Chen Wang's eyes.

It's like a pika on the prairie, no matter how well it is hidden, there is no way to escape the eyes of the falcon in the sky.

Gao Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, those henchmen of his must have been transferred to Chen Wang's disciples.

Otherwise, Chen Wang would not have known the inside story so clearly.

Originally, Gao Qian still had some different thoughts in his heart, but now he can't give birth to such thoughts anymore.

As long as he has any changes, Chen Wang will know in advance.

As for finding out who among his subordinates had switched to Chen Wang's disciples, Gao Qian didn't have the courage to do so.

Gao Qian knew very well that as long as he dared to investigate this matter, it would not be long before his head would move away from his body.

"Humble ...... Retire ......"

Gao Qian knelt down again, bowed his head with difficulty, bowed deeply to Chen Wang, and withdrew from the big tent.

When Gao Qian left the tent, Zhao Huailiang, who had been standing aside, stepped forward.

"The ...... of the main town"

Chen Wang didn't turn his head, just lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said slowly.

"Are you trying to ask, why didn't I kill Gao Qian, but left him behind?"

"The chief town is wise, and the humble position is exactly what he wants to ask this question."

Chen Wang smiled and did not directly answer Zhao Huailiang's question.

"What do you think of Gao Qian?"

Chen Wang regarded Zhao Huailiang as a training school in the future.

As for the matter of setting up his own door in the future, it was also revealed a long time ago.

Therefore, in many cases, Chen Wang encouraged Zhao Huailiang and others and asked them questions related to the management of the army.

Regarding Zhao Huailiang's question at this time, Chen Wang was actually quite happy in his heart.

In this world, there are indeed geniuses, but even if they are geniuses, they are not born with knowledge.

It is impossible to completely reform, eliminate the eight wildernesses, and gather thousands of miles, relying on him alone.

Zhao Huailiang frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he replied.

"This person has mediocre ability, weak will, uncertain mind, and according to the humble opinion of his position, it is better to kill him than to keep it."

Chen Wang bowed slightly, first agreeing with what Zhao Huailiang said earlier, but then the words changed slightly.

"What you said is indeed reasonable, and your understanding is also correct, Gao Qian is indeed mediocre in ability and not strong in will."

"However, keeping Gao Qian is far more useful than killing Gao Qian."

"We ......"

Chen Wang pointed at himself with his finger, and then pointed at Zhao Huailiang with his finger, and said.

"After all, it's a foreign soldier, you know what I mean."

Zhao Huailiang's eyes condensed slightly, and he understood the off-string sound in Chen Wang's words in an instant.

"Humble, understood."

Zhao Huailiang lowered his head and surrendered.

It is indeed easy to kill Gao Qian, but Gao Qian is the general of Henan in the end.

Killing Gao Qian, even if there is a legitimate reason, will inevitably make other Henan generals feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.

Especially in the case of the fiasco in Zhengzhou, the heavy losses in the towns of Henan, and the death and wounding of most of the generals.

"Gao Qian's matter is not a secret, keeping Gao Qian is also a good thing to let Henan's generals return to their hearts."

"Moreover, you also said that Gao Qian's ability is mediocre, and it is precisely because of his mediocre ability that it is easy to restrict."

"Coupled with the eyes and ears of the supervision center, Gao Qian's every move can't escape my eyes, he ...... Can't afford any wind and waves......"

Chen Wang's gaze was indifferent, whether Gao Qian killed or stayed, it was actually just a matter of thought.

The value of his existence is greater than the value of his death, and he can live, that's all.

Gao Qian's ability is indeed mediocre, but Gao Qian is a person who understands current affairs and is a smart person.

Under the parallel of grace and power, Gao Qian will definitely never have any rebellious thoughts anymore.

Gao Qian can hear the first meaning of his words, and he must be able to hear the second meaning.

The tall bird is good and perched, and the virtuous minister chooses the lord and supports.

After Gao Qian returned to the camp, he thought about these two sentences carefully, and he was afraid that he would break out in a cold sweat again.

Song Xiance was in Xiangfu at the beginning, and he said Gao Qian's words, and Chen Wang knew it clearly.

Gao Qian's dissatisfaction with the Ming Court in his heart had already accumulated to the peak.

In the future, when the strength is enough to raise the banner in a grand manner, Gao Qian will definitely stand by him.

It doesn't matter if the ability is mediocre, there are many generals with mediocre ability in this world.

Chen Wang put down the teacup in his hand and refocused his gaze on the letter on the desk.

Everything is in place, only the east wind is owed.
