"Humph! We'll see who can have the last laugh. Shangguan Wenxuan looked at Ouyang Yunqing's distant back, and said viciously in his heart.

Immediately, he arranged a team of guards to put Ouyang Yunqing under house arrest, and he was not allowed to contact anyone, and the court had not yet officially convicted Ouyang Yunqing of escaping, and he could not be directly put in prison, after all, the Guogong Mansion was not a vegetarian, and it was very troublesome to be in a hurry.

After several discussions, Shangguan Wenxuan, Kong Ci and others did not discuss a specific plan of action, the reason is very simple, at present, all the generals in the northern pass who can handle them are dead and wounded, and the rest are trapped in the blood lipid pass, and there is no experienced general to discuss.

The people brought by Shangguan Wenxuan were also not familiar with the border terrain and the strength of Beast Yang, so they had no idea where to start.

Everyone frowned, Shangguan Wenxuan's heart suddenly moved, and he asked: "Master Di, you said that the Tiger Pass is not completely besieged now, which means that it can be passed back and forth?" ”

Di Qiu nodded and asked, "What does Lord Shangguan mean?" ”

"Look, is it possible to summon General Xuanyuan of Huguan to come to the state capital to discuss the military situation? He certainly has some unique opinions, and we should still listen to the opinions of the front-line generals. Shangguan Wenxuan said his thoughts, he fully implemented his father's instructions, listened more to other people's opinions, and made his own decisions less by slapping the table.

Di Qiu said hesitantly: "Although the situation in the Tiger Pass is not so tense now, but the beast Yang will attack again at any time, at this time, it is not appropriate to summon General Xuanyuan to see it, and the dragons of the Tiger Pass are leaderless?" ”

Shangguan Wenxuan also nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Since he can't come out, then I'll go and have a look in person, and by the way, inspect the defense of the Tiger Pass and see the battle situation." In addition, General Xuanyuan has made outstanding achievements in war, so he should be commended and promoted to the rank of knight. ”

"Lord Shangguan, please think twice, there is still a war ahead of the Tiger Pass, if your Excellency comes to the front line, once the court blames it in the future, we can't afford it." Kong Ci persuaded on the side.

The last Jiaocai general Ouyang Yunqing personally went out to fight and ended up like this, and now if something happens to the servant of the ministry, then the two of them will also be done.

"It doesn't matter." Shangguan Wenxuan waved his hand, "As a minister of Longteng, I should share my worries for the emperor, what is there to fear of death, besides, I believe in General Xuanyuan's ability, it will not make me difficult, so it is decided, I will personally go to the Tiger Pass, and the camp in the North Pass will be handed over to Lord Kong to temporarily sit in town, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, and pay attention to the situation of the Blood Fat Pass at any time. ”

"No!" The two of them took the order and quickly went back to prepare.

——— reject the tiger pass

Xuanyuan Banmeng was reading the military book in the conference hall, which was a habit that he had developed since he was by the side of Generalissimo Mo Xie, but whenever he had free time, Xuanyuan Banmeng held the military book and read it tirelessly, sometimes comparing them with the battle report, drawing in circles on the map, and being deeply immersed in it.

"Why? And what about reading the book of war? Zhuge Linglong walked in from outside the door, Zhuge Linglong brought a lot of military books with him, all of which were borrowed by Xuanyuan Banmeng, and handed Xuanyuan Banmeng a letter.

"Take a look, it's sent by the state government, our official is going to come to the Tiger Pass in person, you have to prepare, don't make any moths."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Banmeng was quite surprised, took the letter and read it, since the father-in-law who passed the decree last time privately wooed the Shangguan family, this is the first time to have direct contact with the Shangguan family, Xuanyuan Banmeng is quite curious.

Zhuge Linglong casually pulled a chair and sat down: "It's strange to say, this Lord Shangguan didn't go to the Blood Lipid Pass first, but he was willing to seek the near and far, and came to reject the Tiger Pass first, what is the reason?" This reinforcement has not arrived for a long time, and it has been half a month, and Master Di asked us to hold on for a while. ”

Xuanyuan put it aside after reading the letter, and said: "The army of the Northern Pass is too badly damaged, and it does take a lot of effort to recruit veterans to re-enlist the whole army, and it makes no sense to rush out the troops, but fortunately there is no move in Beast Yang now, we can hold on for a while, just wait." ”

Immediately, Xuanyuan half-dreamed about the origin of the Shangguan family, from following the generalissimo Mo Xie all the way to the south and the north, to the first time he saw Shangguan Yude, and then the Shangguan family tried their best to win them all together.

Zhuge Linglong was also stunned when he heard that Xuanyuan Banmeng had such a relationship with the Shangguan family, he also didn't expect that Xuanyuan Banmeng had a friendship with the Shangguan family when he was still the personal guard of the generalissimo Mo Xie, and then lowered his head and pondered.

After a while, Zhuge Linglong spoke: "I heard before that the Shangguan family has a deep foundation in the DPRK and has always wanted to be in charge of the military alone, but the military power has always been firmly suppressed by the Ouyang family, and now the Ouyang family is defeated, and the Shangguan family is finally able to come out, but the emperor first gave the position of the secretary of the military department to the Bi family, and then dismissed Bi Xiaojian and appointed Prince Wei as the generalissimo of the military department and the generalissimo of the Longteng soldiers and horses, but now our military department secretary and generalissimo has not given orders once?" Don't you think it's strange? Shangguan Yunxuan still wants to win you over this time. ”

Xuanyuan half-dreamed nodded approvingly.

Zhuge Linglong continued: "But the important ministers of the imperial court are courting the border army generals, this is a big taboo, if you are not careful, you will be killed, we must be careful." In addition, in my opinion, the Ouyang family and the Shangguan family are not good things, they are just raccoon dogs. ”

"General Zhuo also told me this, so I didn't refuse or agree last time, and I dealt with it after a haha." Xuanyuan half-dreamed explained: "Forget it, let's take a look first, and then talk about it, so as to respond to all changes." If you can get some elite soldiers and military salaries and weapons from this Shangguan lord, it will be the most affordable. ”

"Yes, oh! By the way, Lao Yutou is a veteran of the Heaven-Breaking Army, right? Why is it that the more I watch the bloody exercises now, the more I feel like it? General Xuanyuan has something to hide from me! Gongsun Linglong said with a smile.

"You're really exquisite! To tell you the truth, the old man was once the commander of the Heaven-Breaking Army! The tip of the spear of the generalissimo of Mo Ye! Xuanyuan couldn't prevaricate in a dream, so he had to tell the truth.

"That's true! Feel relieved! My grandson Linglong is not a villain! I also hope that the Blood Rosa will become the second Heavenbreaker! ”………

Three days later, Xuanyuan Banmeng took Shangguan Wenxuan into the Tiger Rejection Pass at the south gate with the blood Luosha, accompanied by a thousand dragon Teng Praetorian guard soldiers brought by Shangguan Wenxuan.

Shangguan Wenxuan looked at the surrounding bloody soldiers, full of murderous aura, all of them looked solemn, their eyes did not squint, their waists hung sharp blades, strict discipline, mighty and extraordinary, and the Central Plains soldiers could be judged at a glance, and kept nodding and praising them, and secretly sighed in his heart, Xuanyuan Banmeng was really a good soldier in governing the army.

Everyone entered the meeting hall of the Tiger Rejection Pass and sat in turn, Shangguan Wenxuan sat first, and Xuanyuan Banmeng sat on the right hand.

Xuanyuan looked at this Shangguan in a half-dream, and saw that he was wearing a second-grade court uniform, an official hat, sleeves that were longer than his hands, and a crane embroidered on his belt, which was the privilege of the military department.

According to the law of Longteng, the court clothes worn by officials are exquisite, and the court clothes of civil officials are embroidered with cranes, the second rank of Honghu, the third grade of peacocks, the fourth grade of golden pheasants, the fifth grade of flying swallows, the sixth grade of white eyebrows, the seventh grade of cuckoos, the eighth grade of yellow orioles, and the ninth grade of quails. The military attache is a first-grade unicorn, a second-grade lion, a third-grade tiger, a fourth-grade leopard, a fifth-grade black bear, a sixth-grade wolf, a seventh-grade jackal, an eighth-grade hyena, and a ninth-grade dragon horse.

The court uniforms between officials at all levels are not allowed to be changed arbitrarily, and they are not allowed to embroider dragon and phoenix patterns at will.

The official department squire led the performance assessment and promotion of various officials in the court, and the official position was in the second grade, which was the highest civil official Xuanyuan had ever seen, although it could not be called one person under ten thousand people, but it was a real official position.

Shangguan Wenxuan is only forty years old, and he is already in the power center of the Dragon Teng Empire, so it seems that the background of the Shangguan family is indeed extraordinary.
