With Qu Huaier's proposal that day, Feng Jingquan immediately issued an order to urgently transfer Li Jian, who had not participated in the battle of Golden Wolf City before, and stayed in Qingyang City, to the front line of Yongzhou to prevent a surprise attack by the army of Chu. Fan Yuhu, Wei Dazhuang and several other veterans knew the danger of the Yongzhou battlefield, and originally planned to follow the general to the front line, but several people had just received the holy decree in the palace, but when they left, they were stopped by another holy decree. The two of them were furious in their hearts, and they wanted to act against the order, but they were scolded by Li Jian, and the two of them were reluctant to kneel down on one knee to accept the order. The old eunuch saw all this in his eyes, and seemed to be hesitating whether to relay the matter to His Majesty after returning to the palace, but he was stared at by Li Jian's eyes, and the old eunuch also had heart palpitations, and he didn't seem to want to offend this powerful minister who was above 10,000 people under Liang Guo, not to mention that Li Jian also had a father who was on the list. In the end, the old eunuch was successfully bought by Li Jian for ten taels of gold, and promised not to reveal any rumors when several people received the order.

After the old eunuch left in the palace, Li Jian was shocked, Fan Yuhu and Wei Dazhuang wanted to be lawless, although their nature was not bad, but they only listened to their own orders, and always adhered to the principle of not being subject to the orders of foreign monarchs, and had never been reused by the imperial court. It's finally coming out. ”

Fan Yuhu looked embarrassed, and said angrily: "Don't hide it from the general, my old Fan and Lao Wei are not interested in being generals at all, we just want to follow the general to fight in the south and the north, and kill the enemy together, besides, the general was transferred to Yongzhou by the emperor Lao'er, which is already very dangerous, we have to follow the general and protect you!" ”

"Be careful!" Li Jian feigned anger and said, "You fool, where are you not fighting, and if you leave the general, can't you hold the sword?" Now that Daliang is at a critical juncture of life and death, you two have followed me for many years, and I will naturally know your talents, but now that Daliang is in trouble, it is time for you to serve the court. ”

Fan Yuhu still sighed on the side, and Wei Dazhuang was also worried, obviously having a lot of complaints about the holy decree just now. I heard Fan Yuhu continue: "Even if you can't kill the enemy side by side with the general, it's good to put my old Fan in Liang, Youerzhou, and give a bullshit general to Yizhou, and when the battle really starts, he can't use his strength." Lao Wei is the same, a Yanzhou general, 108,000 miles away from the frontline battlefield, if the general is in danger, how can the two of us rush to help in time? ”

Li Jian was silent, he couldn't understand what Feng Jingquan's move meant, the battle of Liang and Chu, the key point was in Yongzhou and Liangzhou, this is something that both sides know, he was in a high position, served in Yongzhou, and rushed to the first battlefield, which was understandable, and because he was the only king with a different surname in Liang State, he did not set up the post of general of Yongzhou, but Wei Qing, the second military general in the court, also failed to guard Liangzhou, but was transferred to the northwest of Bingzhou to garrison. If a big war breaks out on the battlefield in Yongzhou, the Chu army marches south, although Yongzhou has 200,000 defenders, there are almost no incompetent people to support the two states of Liang and You, which border Yongzhou, but now that the war is imminent, you must not mess up, you can only comfort the two of you: "This will guard the country, is the first line of defense, and the two of you are adjacent to Jizhou, if this will be defeated, the army of Chu will come to the city, at least there are two of you to support Qingyang City, the emperor's order cannot be violated, you two must not be rash!" ”

Although the two were resentful, Li Jian had already spoken, although Feng Jingquan's imperial order was dispensable in the eyes of the two, but the military order was like a mountain, Fan Yuhu and Wei Dazhuang could only obediently obey the order.

Now half of the 200,000 troops stationed in Yongzhou Golden Wolf City are the Jingzhou army of the year, after Ye Baiye was martyred, these Jingzhou troops have no leader, and only one deputy general Xu Caiyong remains. Fortunately, Li Jianwei is famous, and it can be said that more than ninety percent of the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom have admiration for this mainstay of the Liang Dynasty, so Li Jian did not bring a single soldier and went to Yong alone. After handing over with Wei Qing, let the latter return to Beijing immediately to resume his life, and then go to Bingzhou, and Yang Xiu, who had been following Wei Qing to Golden Wolf City, would also be ordered to return to Beijing to escort him, after all, now in Qingyang City, there is only this Yang Supervisor who is the only master on the bright side.

Now that the battle of Liang and Chu is about to break out, and the state of Chu may launch another offensive at any time, Li Jian is not delayed, and he gallops alone on the post road and rushes to Yongzhou, without noticing that there are three horsemen hanging not far or near a mile behind him.

When Li Jian arrived in Golden Wolf City three days later, he was already sleepy and tired, and after coming to the simple general's mansion that Ye Baiye ordered people to temporarily build, Wei Qing had not yet received the order, and saw that Li Jian came alone, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Wang, but what happened in Beijing?" ”

Compared with Fan Yuhu and Wei Dazhuang, who followed Li Jian in the early years, they still like to call generals, and young generals like Wei Qing pay special attention to the number of courtesies, and they are all commensurate with the prince.

Li Jian waved his hand, took the water handed by Wei Qing and drank it all, and said: "There is no change in Beijing, but Your Majesty has issued an order to order this king to garrison Yongzhou to prevent Chu thieves from attacking, and General Wei has been transferred to Bingzhou to guard." This king was worried about the sneak attack of the Chu thieves, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and came here first, as for General Wei's order, I am afraid that it will have to wait for two or three days to be delivered. ”

Although Li Jian is the unique king of Daliang with a different surname, a noble status, and his former top boss, but such a major military and political event, without seeing His Majesty's holy decree, Wei Qing did not dare to believe it rashly, so he asked: "Everyone in the world knows the dispute between Liang and Chu, Yongzhou and Liang are the most critical, and the prince is the soul of my Liang army, and it is understandable to guard in Yongzhou, but why was the last general sent to Bingzhou in the rear instead of Liangzhou, which can give timely support to the prince?" Could it be that my Liang is now a more suitable candidate for Liangzhou than the last general? ”

Li Jian frowned, and sighed: "Your Majesty arranges the troops like this, he has his own intentions, we are courtiers, we should not speculate in private, but I can't hide it, what General Wei thinks is also the doubt in the heart of this king, and now there are only a handful of people available in Daliang, that is, Fan Yuhu and Wei Dazhuang under the account of this king have also been transferred to Yi and Yan Erzhou respectively, this king thinks about it, the post of general of Liangzhou, I am afraid that only Zong Bao is left to take on this big responsibility, as for why His Majesty does not arrange all the backbone of the general on the front line, there should be other concerns, Besides, in the last few decisions made by His Majesty, my Liang has won a complete victory, and General Wei does not need to worry too much. ”

Recalling the decisions conveyed by Emperor Wu of Liang in front of the station the first two times, it did help the Liang army win a complete victory, but Wei Qing was still uneasy in his heart, and always felt that there was something hidden, but the emperor's order was like a mountain, and Wei Qing did not dare to disobey.

In Qingyang City, Jiang Qing, the Taishi who is getting old but still in a high position, rarely holds a banquet at home, and does not invite other colleagues, but only a family banquet attended by his subordinates, and even spends a lot of money to invite dozens of Qinglou Oiran in the city into the mansion to have fun with his subordinates.

After the banquet, Jiang Qing was in a good mood, rewarded countless silver, let the subordinates go out to squander, and returned to the room with a pot of wine, and when he saw that there was no one around, he shook his head and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

The aroma of the wine is rich and refreshing, Jiang Qing hummed a little tune, and said with a smile: "Li Jian, Li Jian, even if you are a very human minister, what can you do, Your Majesty has an order, you, the king of one word and shoulder to shoulder, don't you have to go to the front line obediently, Sikong Li, Baili Jin, plus the army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in Chu State, I think you still have a few lives to come back alive!" Unexpectedly, in the end, you still have to die in front of the old man. ”

However, it was said that Li Mixian did not go directly to Liang after getting the roster of spies lurking in Liang State, but returned to Poyang City under the escort of Ou Yunxi, intending to discuss with Song Jinyang before making plans.

The two academy classmates met at the National Teacher's Mansion, and Song Jinyang asked, "What did you get from the master when you went to Baoyu City?" ”

Li Mi nodded first and replied: "The old man didn't embarrass me, he has handed over to me the roster of spies lurking in the Liang Kingdom, but these people have not been in contact for a long time, and no one can say how many loyalties are left now, I'm afraid I have to make a trip myself." ”

Song Jinyang was worried: "It's very dangerous to go to Liang Country here, you must not be in danger!" ”

Li Mixian smiled bitterly and said: "Don't you know the danger, but if you don't go, the chess pieces that the old man worked so hard to bury back then will be wasted, but it is possible that this group of people will defect, besides, with only your old Song and me, can you fight the old poisoner Qu Huaier?" ”

In order not to worry his old friend, Li Mixian pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, the King of Liao will enter Liang with me, and besides, he doesn't have a blood feud with Feng Jingquan like Guo Yuan, so he only needs to keep a low profile, and he doesn't have to worry about his life." ”

Although Song Jinyang still felt that it was inappropriate in his heart, but now in the battle between the two countries, the generals of Chu State have the advantage, but the strategists are only himself and Li Mixian, the two are still young, and they are far from Qu Huaier in terms of wisdom and strategy.

The two were speechless for a while. Suddenly, Song Jinyang took out a secret report from his sleeve, handed it to Li Mixian, and said: "I almost forgot, this is the news from the territory of Liang State a few days ago, Feng Jingquan didn't know why, transferred Li Jian to Yongzhou to garrison, and Wei Qing was placed in the west of Bingzhou, away from the vital Yongzhou and Liang battlefields. ”

Li Mi was surprised first: "This Feng Jing is all crazy and disheartened!" Not to mention putting Li Jian on the first battlefield of the front line, in case this king with a different surname of Liang dies in battle, the Liang army will definitely be disheartened, and my Great Chu can fight to the hinterland of the Central Plains in one go, and after Cao Bo, Zhu Wang, and Ye Baiye, the three unworthy generals died in battle, what other people are available in Liang, who will be more suitable to be placed in Liangzhou to support the Yongzhou battlefield than Wei Qing, who is now in the limelight? Could it be that he, Feng Jingquan, never thought of supporting Yongzhou at all, just to make Li Jian isolated and die on the battlefield? ”

Song Jinyang thought deeply of this, and echoed: "Li Jian was originally an important minister of the former dynasty, and he was friendly with Feng Jing'an, and Feng Jingquan only had the righteousness of a monarch and a minister. Back then, Feng Jing went all out to dispel public opinion and named Li Jian, who was a master of high merit, as the king with a different surname, because he was worried that this person would one day support his own army and respect himself, which would affect his Feng emperor's throne, and now Feng Jing reuses Wei Qing, who is not dishonoring his mission and is maturing day by day, so Li Jian's thorn in the eye is naturally eliminated quickly! It seems that Feng Jingquan plans to let Li Jian fight with the military god or the general Baili, and then let others clean up the mess, while young and more loyal generals like Wei Qing are deliberately preserving their power and can be used by him Feng Jingquan in the future, but if Li Jian is forced to be in a hurry, he defects on the verge of battle, and takes the 200,000 defenders to the King of Chu, how should Feng Jingquan respond? ”

Li Mixian muttered: "Absolutely not, the Li family has been loyal and good for generations, and has always been an important minister of the Liang State, Li Jian is a foolish and loyal person, no matter what, as long as the person on the throne is still surnamed Feng, even if the emperor clearly wants him to die, he will not frown, let alone betray the country to survive with the infamy of the future generations, if all the arrangements are really as you and I guess, either Feng Jingquan still has a secret backhand, and there is full confidence that only Li Jian will be used alone in exchange for the final victory of the Liang State, or it is a clumsy imperial mentality." , what I want is to take this opportunity to get rid of this king with a different surname, so as not to make the world settle in the future, and then set up a strong enemy for no reason. ”

Suddenly, a bold thought flashed in Li Mixian's mind, and he hurriedly said: "Old Song, have you ever thought that if Liang Guo's strategic deployment this time is Feng Jingquan's meaning, it can be simply interpreted as getting rid of Li Jian's henchman, but what if this transfer of troops will be Qu Huaier's old poisoner's meaning?" ”

Song Jinyang gasped and frowned, "You mean, is it that the chief strategist of the Liang Kingdom wants Li Jian to die?" But it's good for him, or for Liang Guo, what's the benefit? ”

Li Mi first rubbed his eyebrows, his expression was solemn, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart, although all this was just his own conjecture, but if it was really as he guessed, why did Qu Huaier act like this? After several battles, Li Mixian always lagged behind, and he couldn't even guess Qu Huaier's thoughts.

In the imperial palace of Qingyang City, although Qu Huaier had gradually moved to the front of the stage, he still insisted on living in the secret room connected to the emperor's bedroom, and there was no need for people to serve him. Looking at the flickering candle flame on the table, Qu Huaier said softly: "Li family boy, if you want to guess the old man's mind, you are still a little tender, this game of chess has been taken over by the old man since the Guo family Xiaowa left the game, if you want to sit on the chess table, now this little bit of Taoism is not enough to see, when will you learn all the skills of your master's old fox, and you will really be qualified to become an opponent who can play against the old man." Now that the world is in the general trend, the old man has tried his best to lay out this situation for you, and how much you can get from it depends on your own ability. ”
