Shen Lie raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "This is indeed the case." However, there is a reason for that. After the Turks captured the two passes, the imperial court completely cut off contact with the western frontier, and Li Jiangyao commanded the troops to fight alone, and they must have a reputation in order to command their subordinates in a justifiable manner. He can't contact us, so what can he do if he doesn't appoint himself? ”

The minister smiled: "Lord Shen, don't worry, I didn't mean to blame Li Jiangyao, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Murong Xue rushed in front of Shen Lie and asked with dissatisfaction.

"It's just that it's good for him to call himself a general, why do you have to be the protector of the capital?" The minister shook his head, a little yin and yang: "And outside the Zhenjiang Protectorate, another Zhenjiang army has been created, which is nondescript." ”

Shen Lie's face was frosty, and he looked coldly at the guy who picked on the thorns, without saying a word, while Murong Xue turned to Li Bing and said, "Your Highness, this is purely a bone in an egg!" What kind of person is Li Jiangyao, don't you know? ”

Li Bing raised his hand to signal him not to get excited, and said softly: "This palace understands what you mean. At the beginning, you and I were placed under house arrest by the traitor Xie Guang in Luoyi, but thanks to Li Jiangyao's rescue, they were able to get out of trouble. This credit will not be forgotten by this palace. ”

He glanced at Shen Lie, and then said to Murong Xue: "However, the matter of rewarding does need to be considered in the long run. First, the palace has not yet ascended the throne, and the court is far away in Xishu, so it is difficult to discuss how to reward meritorious deeds for a while; Second, the palace announced to the world in Hebei, and commanded the soldiers and horses of the whole country under the edict, at that time Li Jiangyao had established a communication channel with the Reverse Scale Division, but to this day, he has not played the table, swearing allegiance to the palace, what should the palace do? ”

Murong Xue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and immediately understood what Li Bing meant: that Li Jiangyao was clearly suspected of supporting the army and respecting himself. If you don't take me as a prince in your eyes, do you want me to take the initiative to please him?

Quan Chen Xie Guang! This familiar name suddenly surged into Murong Xue's heart.

The prince suffered a lot before, and the most feared and hated in this life is the kind of military general who holds military power and flies with his outstanding military exploits. Xie Guang's ambition almost ruined Li Bing and the 800-year-old foundation of the Holy Tang Dynasty, which was unforgettable for Li Bing. And now, there is another Li Jiangyao in charge of 300,000 male soldiers in the western Xinjiang who proclaims himself the protector of the capital as a captain, saying that the prince doesn't care at all, that is self-deception.

Murong Xue was worried about her good brother, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I know Li Jiangyao, he is by no means the kind of person who has two hearts. So far, there must be something unspeakable......"

Li Bing directly interrupted him: "You don't have to explain, this palace doesn't blame him." If there is chaos today, everyone has their own ideas and cannot force it. We still do what we have to do, and it doesn't help to think about anything else. ”

Murong Xue was choked speechless by the prince's words, so she had to close her mouth first and look at Shen Lie as if asking for help, but Shen Lie looked calm at this time, and did not intend to say anything.

Li Bing felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he changed the topic: "Murong Xue, if you are asked to command, are you sure to solve Luoyi's problem?" ”

Murong Xue came back to her senses and hurriedly responded: "Weichen must go all out!" ”

Li Bing shook his head: "This palace knows that you will go all out. What I'm asking is, are you sure? ”

"Sure!" Murong Xue said firmly: "The minister went to the front line this time, and specially discussed the various situations in Luoyi with the permanent deputy capital protector, as long as he concentrates the superior forces and moves quickly enough, he will definitely be able to completely eliminate the poisonous soldiers and restore the defense of the city." ”

Li Bing's spirits were greatly lifted, and he said, "Okay!" If you have faith, then Hongu will be able to rest assured. Murong Xue obeyed the order! ”

"The minister is here!" Murong Xue replied.

"Order, from now on, Murong Xue will serve as the head of the march, and lead the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, Hebei Provincial Prefecture soldiers Li Mizhi, Chalang Division, and Wang Yexian's Department to march into Luoyi." Li Bing ordered: "All the departments and departments, do their duty, fully cooperate with the actions of the army, expel the poisonous soldiers, rescue the people, and recover my holy Tang Dongdu!" ”

The ministers hurriedly responded in unison: "The ministers obey the order." ”

-

Out of the conference hall, Murong Xue said hello to several old ministers around her, and then quickly caught up with Shen Lie, who was walking in front, and said in a low voice: "Shen Changshi, please take a step to speak." ”

Shen Lie glanced at him lightly, hesitated slightly, then nodded and walked towards the tree next to him. Murong Xue followed him and said as she walked, "Why didn't you speak in front of Your Highness just now." ”

"Say what?" Shen Lie pretended not to understand.

"Knowingly asked." Murong Xue said dissatisfiedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously has a misunderstanding of Jiang Yao, with your relationship with Jiang Yao, shouldn't you say a fair word for him?" ”

Shen Lie smiled helplessly: "It is because of my relationship with Li Jiangyao that I can't help him speak." It's the same with you, the more you talk, the worse it gets. ”

Murong Xue was quick-witted, of course she understood what Shen Lie meant, but she still said angrily: "You are worried about arousing the suspicion of His Highness, right?" But have you ever thought that if this misunderstanding is not resolved as soon as possible, there will be problems in the future! ”

Shen Lie said in a calm tone: "The problem has been solved. Since the day His Highness was rescued from Luoyi, the suspicion of the commander of the army has been deeply planted in his heart. Even if he ascends to the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to change it, but will intensify it. ”

He turned his head to look at the council hall not far away, and then said to Murong Xue, "Didn't you notice?" After the assassination of the poisonous soldiers, His Royal Highness took the opportunity of the unfortunate death of Xue Wei and Chai Jingbin to promote a large number of young generals, but the military power given to them was incomplete. And most of the capitals protect Yang Xingtai, obviously his injuries have healed, but he was still arranged by His Royal Highness to go back to Youzhou to recuperate. What does this mean? ”

Murong Xue was speechless for the second time today. He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "They are them, Li Jiangyao is Li Jiangyao, it's different." ”

"What's the difference?" Shen Lie sneered: "If you want to say something different, it is that Brother Jiang Yao's power is greater, and it is more difficult for His Highness to control." ”

Murong Xue sighed: "Alas, Jiang Yao is really right, and he still refuses to express his position at this time. Lord Shen, have you persuaded him before? ”

Shen Lie replied lightly: "It's not a persuasion, it's just a tactful hint twice, but Jiang Yao doesn't seem to understand what I mean." ”

"Me too," Murong Xue shook her head: "I wrote to him to mention this matter, but this guy replied to him left and right, and talked to me about roast whole sheep for two whole pages, which is inexplicable." ”

Shen Lie kindly persuaded: "General Murong, I don't think you should be blindly worried. What His Highness thinks now, what Jiang Yao thinks, these don't matter, and it's not something you and I can control. At present, the most important thing is to deal with all kinds of enemies. I received news that Bao Yuchun's side may also have a problem. ”

"Bao Yuchun? Governor of the Marines? Murong Xue was taken aback: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Shen Lie deliberately lowered his voice: "The information has not been fully confirmed, but I have reason to suspect that he colluded with Lao Jianhua." The main force of the sailor is about to return to Quanzhou from the open sea, and the answer will be revealed at that time. ”

Murong Xue said worriedly: "Bao Yuchun, Old Man Xu, Commander He, and the traitor Xie Guang, and are called the four famous generals of this dynasty. Although the number of sailors was small, more than 2,000 large warships were enough to block the Yangtze River waterway. If he is on our side, Lao Jianhua will definitely die, but if he votes on the other side, we are afraid that we will have nothing to do with Lao Jianhua. ”

"That's why I just said that the important thing is not Jiang Yao." Shen Lie frowned: "The tentacles of the thief are too long, and the layout is far-reaching, I don't know how many important ministers in the court are related to him." Alas, it's hard. ”

Murong Xue asked, "What are you going to do with Bao Yuchun?" ”

Shen Lie shook his head helplessly: "There is no good way yet. Lao Bao is not an ordinary person, he can be compared with Commander He, whether it is resourceful or skilled, it is not something that the Reverse Scale Division can easily deal with. If the emperor is still there and the government is still stable, I may be able to fight with Bao Yuchun, but the current situation is ...... I'm afraid that the only way to do it is on the battlefield. ”

Murong Xue couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Fuck, they're all chaotic ministers and thieves!" You can't kill them all! ”

Shen Lie pondered for a moment and asked, "Tomorrow you will go to the front line again, do you have any ideas for dealing with the poisonous soldiers?" ”

Murong Xue smiled bitterly: "What else can you think, fight hard." As you said in the council chamber just now, if Jiezhichuan can kill poison soldiers, others can kill them too. Shooting with bows and arrows, piercing with spears, slashing with large swords and axes, nothing more. ”

"If that's all there is, you're going to lose!" Shen Lie snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Murong Xue couldn't help but be stunned, and then said humbly: "Please also ask Lord Shen for advice." ”

Shen Lie's expression was serious: "Do you know why Jiezhichuan was able to kill from Luoyi City, which is full of monsters?" According to his description, there should be two reasons. First, because he killed his beloved concubine with his own hands, he didn't want to live anymore; Second, he is an agent trained by the Reverse Scale Division, and he would rather die than complete his mission. ”

Murong Xue was a little puzzled and muttered, "Don't want to live? Would you rather die than complete your mission? I do not quite understand. ”

"It's this kind of complicated mentality that you don't quite understand," Shen Lie said in a deep voice: "Jiezhichuan is not only as simple as putting life and death out of the way, but completely crazy. Only a madman can deal with those terrible brutes! ”

Hearing him say this, Murong Xue suddenly remembered the ninth class of the Reverse Scale Division in the Imperial Capital Incident, which was also a group of crazy people who also created miracles.

"I seem to understand what you mean," Murong Xue nodded: "The soldiers are brave and fearless, and they are aimed at enemies like themselves. But the poison soldiers are man-eating demons, and they can't be dealt with just by not being afraid of death. ”
