Geng Zhong was not convinced and wanted to fight on the basis of reason, but Yu Dynasty shook his head and signaled him not to be rash. You must know that Li Leng has the power of life and death, and has the decisive right to appoint and dismiss, unless he is the Son of Heaven, otherwise, no one else can help him at all, and it is even more impossible to disobey his orders.

Li Leng said murderously: "General Tang, I give you a sigil, you hold this sigil, and you have the power of life and death in the vanguard army." Whoever does not obey your orders and takes matters into his own hands, beheaded!"

The combat effectiveness of the vanguard army must be maintained at a sufficiently high level. Therefore, military orders must be unified, and there must be no situation in which each party occupies the mountain and acts independently. Tang Chop had just served as a pioneer general, and his prestige was not high enough, and the former vanguard general was Geng Zhong's person, if he did not have a certain power of life and death, Tang Chop would not be able to control this situation.

Tang Chuxi said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Ten Princes, the last general will not fail in his mission." ”

Li Leng said: "You are very talented in military affairs, and you are also willing to share weal and sorrow with soldiers. This is a rare quality, and I hope that you, with the vanguard army, will build miracles for yourself and for your brothers. ”

"I will not disappoint Your Highness. Tang Shu's tone was firm, and he got up and returned to the queue.

Not long after, several soldiers brought in a person, Yan Song, the former general of Northern Xinjiang, who was demoted to a slave.

As soon as everyone saw Yan Song, they all looked at Li Leng in surprise, not understanding what Li Leng brought him for.

Yan Song was terrified, knelt on the ground and trembled, knelt on the ground and said, "Sinner Yan Song, see His Royal Highness the Ten Princes." ”

"I've been a slave for half a year, how does it taste?" Li Leng asked coldly.

Yan Song is quite a military talent, and when he was still a general in Northern Xinjiang, the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan could never step into the Guanding River for half a step. And the reason why he lost thirty cities in northern Xinjiang before was not because he had a wrong command, but because he was framed and cut off the way to reinforcements, which led to the biggest defeat in the history of his army.

If someone hadn't deliberately framed him, I'm afraid that the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry would not have been able to defeat his army at all.

Yan Song was frightened, choked up and said: "The sinner is deeply sinful, and he is willing to die to apologize." ”

"Die!?Do you want to die so much?" Li Leng looked grim, "You are a soldier, don't you want to save your dignity?"

"Your Highness......" Yan Song raised his head blankly, looked at Li Leng in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

"Tell me, now, what are your views on the situation in Northern Xinjiang?" Li Leng took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

He wanted to reactivate Yan Song, after all, Yan Song's talents were there, and it would still help him. But before Yan Song was activated, he had to bang and knock well, and things like before would never happen again.

Geng Zhong's face changed slightly, and his expression looked very unhappy. He is the general of Northern Xinjiang, and it is reasonable for Li Leng to ask him his views on the situation in Northern Xinjiang, why should he ask a slave? Isn't this Chi Guoguo's humiliation of him? Could it be that his military talent will not be as good as that of a slave? What will other generals think of him? How will he command an army of one million in Northern Xinjiang in the future?

But Li Leng is the prince and the commander of Northern Xinjiang, and Geng Zhong is not convinced and angry in his heart, and he does not dare to show it. The power of life and death alone made him feel cold in his heart. If you offend this temperamental prince, you can just find an excuse to take his life.

King Yu seemed to see the unhappiness and anger in Geng Zhong's heart, and said with a smile: "Tenth brother, he is a slave after all, and Geng Zhong is the general of Northern Xinjiang. If we talk about our understanding of the situation in northern Xinjiang, who can compare with Geng Zhong? If the tenth brother wants to understand the military situation in northern Xinjiang, he can ask General Geng. ”

"Who do I want to ask, I know in my heart, Eighth Emperor Brother, are you the commander of Northern Xinjiang, or am I the commander of Northern Xinjiang?" Li Leng looked at him with cold eyes, with disdainful anger in his eyes, "Or, Brother Eight Emperor thinks he can do it, you come?"

"You ......" King Yu was angry and had no temper, if he had the ability to solve the unfavorable situation in the northern Xinjiang, why let the Son of Heaven send Li Leng over, seize his power, and embarrass him.

"If the Eighth Emperor Brother feels that he can't do it, it's best to shut up and stop talking, and then let the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry fight over, I will send the Eighth Emperor Brother as the vanguard. Li Leng smiled disdainfully, and didn't take King Yu in his eyes at all.

King Yu's face was very ugly, and he said coldly: "Yes, everything is subject to the orders of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes." ”

Satirize!

Absolute irony.

However, Li Leng didn't take it to heart, looked at Yan Song quietly, and said, "If you have any opinions, hurry up and say it, this is your last chance." ”

Yan Song's body shook violently, raised his head slightly, and suddenly saw King Yu's fierce eyes, as well as Geng Zhong's cold smile, his heart chuckled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he lay on the ground again, trembling and said: "Your Highness, I am a guilty person, a slave who has suffered defeat, I am not qualified to comment on the situation in Northern Xinjiang, let alone analyze the situation in Northern Xinjiang, please let Your Highness let me go, let me be willing to be a slave!"

"Are you sure?" Li Leng looked at the demeanor of King Yu and Geng Zhong, but he didn't break it, and said slowly, "You are a slave alone, the children and grandchildren of the Yan family will be slaves forever, and your family, they will all be affected by you." If you think it doesn't matter, then you can go. ”

"I ......" Yan Song was silent for a while, his heart was ruthless, and he said, "Returning to Your Highness, the current unfavorable situation in Northern Xinjiang is ultimately due to the wrong decision in defense. The iron cavalry of the Yuanrong tribe is good at attacking on the plains, and they have received strong support from all the tribes in the Western Regions, forming a unified force. At this time, our defense should not be on the offensive, but should defend the main passages and cities, and slowly consume the combat power of the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry. ”

"Yan Song, you are so bold! It is wrong to talk about the defense strategy of the Son of Heaven in vain, and dare to judge the defense strategy of the Son of Heaven. How many heads do you have that people have to cut off?" Geng Zhong was furious, this was simply a useless judgment of him, and all the failures in Northern Xinjiang were attributed to his wrong decisions.

"General Geng, what are you angry about?" Or are you weak-hearted?" Li Leng tapped his fingers on the table and said unhurriedly, "Is this the Son of Heaven's defensive strategy, or is it your personal arbitrariness? You said that it is the Son of Heaven's defensive strategy, very good, come up with a will." If there is no will, the corresponding official document of the Ministry of War is also possible. If there is nothing, what will be the consequences of false proclamation, you know better than anyone else. ”

Geng Zhong was shocked, this was definitely not the will of the Son of Heaven and the official document of the Ministry of War, even if it was the defensive strategy of the Son of Heaven, it was also a verbal reminder from the Son of Heaven, how could it be issued through the Holy Decree, and how could the Ministry of War issue an official document without authorization? This Li Leng was really a good means, and he suddenly grabbed his sore foot, so that he didn't know what to say.
