Text Volume 9: Yellow Sparrow in the After_ "Phantom Spear (9)" Chapter 57:-for-tat

After the two embraced, Fang Xinyao persuaded Liu Gongzi to leave as soon as possible, so as not to bring him unnecessary trouble, and Liu Gongzi promised Fang Xinyao that he would do his best to deal with the current situation, and asked her to be patient, Fang Xinyao agreed. Although the two have different positions, they already have a common heart, which is really rare.

The words were divided into two ends, and it was said that the emperor, escorted by Lu Jianfei and Bao Guocai, came to the outside of the southern army barracks, which was next to the northern suburbs of the school, and it didn't take much time. At this moment, Zhang Poyan and Li Sichao led the main personnel to go out of the camp to greet each other, knelt on the ground, and shouted "Long live, long live, long live." The emperor looked at the soldiers of the Southern Army in high spirits, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

Lu Jianfei took the lead in dismounting and helped the emperor down. The emperor just raised his head slightly, with an amiable smile on his face, and said, "Soldiers, you have worked hard, let's all be even." "Although he has fallen so far, the prestige of the Son of Heaven has not decreased, and the soldiers standing in front of him saw the emperor from afar, and they all secretly sighed in their hearts, this holy true dragon breath is really extraordinary.

Li Sichao gestured to Zhang Poyan with his eyes, and the latter immediately warmly beckoned the emperor to enter the Chinese military tent. After entering, I saw the emperor standing on the upper seat, Zhang Poyan and Li Sichao on the left-hand side, and Lu Jianfei and Bao Guocai on the right-hand side. The food is served hot, and the wine is full. In this harmonious atmosphere on the bright side, there is a bitter chill, I don't know if it's because it's too cold, or if it has ulterior motives.

Li Sichao tapped the table three times, Zhang Poyan immediately raised the bottle and stood up, respectfully toasted to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the late arrival of the last general, which frightened you, and the last general knows that he deserves death, and asks my emperor to surrender." After saying that, he unexpectedly knelt down, and the wine bottle was already raised above his head.

"Hey, Aiqing can lead the crowd to escort in time, which is already a great achievement, how to punish the crime, quickly calm down. "What a smart man the emperor is, he already knows what to say and how to say it at this moment. The only thing to do now is to win over this Zhennan general for his own use, and once he is restored in the future, he will talk about rewards and punishments.

Zhang Poyan said: "Thank you Emperor Longen!" and then got up and drank the wine.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang is brave and loyal, heaven and earth can learn from it, this rebellion of rebels, with the assistance of General Zhang, will definitely be able to quell the rebellion, congratulations. Bao Guocai deliberately threw out the burden.

Zhang Poyan glanced at him and returned to his seat. Li Sichao rolled his eyes, picked up the conversation, and said, "This lord, we are all thinking about the emperor's safety. Right now, there is nothing more important than protecting the emperor. As for counterinsurgency, our forces are still insufficient, but self-protection is more than enough, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and we must not disturb the overall plan because of impulse, do you say?"

Zhang Poyan snickered in his heart: This little phoenix, doing this kind of thing, saying this kind of thing, is much more powerful than me, it depends on how you take it.

"Who is this general?" Bao Guocai asked rhetorically.

"Under the account of General Zhang, Li Sichao is also!"

"It turned out that Li joined the army, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Hehe, who is this adult?" Li Sichao was not to be outdone. Zhang Poyan listened on the sidelines, and he didn't know how comfortable it was, he was a person who loved to watch the secret battles between Sven people, which was very interesting.

"Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Bao Guocai. ”

"It turned out to be Commander Bao, who was disrespectful and disrespectful. Li Sichao used Bao Guocai's words just now and returned it intact.

Bao Guocai's face changed slightly, and he had to ask again: "I don't know what General Zhang's plan is next?"

"Arrangement? Li Senjun also made it very clear just now, Your Majesty, your safety is more important than anything else now. Zhang Poyan said this deliberately.

"But hiding in this place all the time, I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution. The Emperor also opened the skylight and spoke brightly.

"In that case, the last general has a clever plan. ”

"Oh? ”

"The land of the capital has been occupied by traitors, the enemy army is outnumbered, and our army has suffered more than half of the casualties. It's better to take a step back, the sea and the sky are wide, as long as the saint is willing to move away from this dangerous place, there will be a chance to breathe. At that time, recuperate and draft an edict against thieves, the world's heroes will gather to respond, and they will be able to break the enemy in one battle. ”

"Aiqing's meaning, do you want me to leave?" the emperor deliberately asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, you are relieved, and the last general will personally cut off the queen, and you will definitely be able to ensure your safety. Zhang Poyan swore an oath.

"Does General Zhang want to be Cao Cao?" Lu Jianfei suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

Zhang Poyan was not surprised, but Li Sichao continued: "This lord, in front of the Son of Heaven, can't speak so openly. We, General Zhang, are dedicated to the protection of the king, brave and loyal, and can learn from the sun and the moon, what we just proposed is just the most suitable expedient measure at the moment, how can it be compared with Cao Thief?"

"Hehe, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, you should really plan well. Lu Jianfei stared at Li Sichao fiercely and sneered.

"Your Majesty, the last general just wants to be a loyal minister to protect the lord, and he has no evil intentions, and he asks the emperor to learn clearly. Zhang Poyan said earnestly.

Seeing that they were arguing, the emperor also knew in his heart what kind of wishful thinking Zhang Poyan was playing, but it was not easy to break it at the moment, so he could only say: "General Zhang is dedicated to the Lord, and I know that you are all my Aiqing, and you must not hurt the harmony because of such a trivial matter." Come, toast with me. ”

When everyone saw that the emperor had said this, they had to stop for a while.

Li Sichao said in his heart: It seems that the comer is not good, these two people are not easy to deal with, but if you don't give them a little bit of power, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to pinch the emperor in your hands.

Zhang Poyan saw Li Sichao half-covering his face and touching his chin with his right hand, and knew that he had begun to think carefully again. After a while, Li Sichao said: "Commander Bao, I don't know how many people there are in the Imperial Forest Army?"

After hearing this, the emperor's face changed slightly, and Bao Guocai said: "This is a secret in the army, and Li Senjun, as a soldier, should know that this should not be asked." ”

"Naturally, if it were a normal day, Li would not open this mouth. But now, we are all trying to protect the emperor's safety, as the so-called knowing ourselves and knowing that the enemy will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and now we haven't even figured out our own strength, how can we make the next battle plan?"

Bao Guocai glanced at the emperor, the emperor just looked ahead, did not respond to his eyes, Bao Guocai immediately understood, and said: "There are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers, each of whom can be one as ten." ”

"The elite of the Royal Forest Army, I have heard of it a long time ago, if there are really more than 10,000 elite soldiers, maybe we can still fight. Li Sichao suddenly said this, which surprised Zhang Poyan, and he said in his heart: What's the matter, how did you get brought into the circle by others?

Zhang Poyan was about to speak, but instead he thought that Li Sichao's words could not have deep meaning, so he immediately suppressed his emotions and waited for his next words.

"Oh, so General Zhang and Li Senjun dispelled the idea just now?"

"That's natural, we have more than 10,000 Imperial Forest troops charging into battle, and I'm waiting for the southern army to press the formation behind, are you still worried that this capital can't be breached?" Li Sichao said with a smile.

"General Zhang, do you want our Imperial Forest Army to open the way for you?" Bao Guoyan asked Zhang Poyan.

Zhang Poyan also heard Li Sichao's meaning, and deliberately sneered: "The elite of the Imperial Forest Army is known to the world. The general also made it very clear just now that the only thing for the Southern Army to do is to protect the Emperor Zhou Quan. As for counterinsurgency, it is only the second priority. Since Lord Bao is full of confidence in the Imperial Forest Army and still has the strength to spare, why not try to fight back, maybe he can fight a battle?"

"General Zhang, your idea is really good, this is to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Lu Jianfei raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

Seeing that the situation could no longer be suppressed, the emperor simply stopped speaking and sat back to watch Zhang Poyan show his fox tail.

Zhang Poyan drank a glass of hot wine and said: "Haha, since we still have no confidence in the strength of the Imperial Forest Army, do we have the certainty that our southern army will win? Since we are not sure, why should we go to meet the enemy head-on? As the saying goes, if we can stay in the green mountains, if our last troops are all defeated in this battle, then how can we talk about protecting the emperor and how can we talk about eliminating the traitors?"

"General Zhang, you are clearly prevaricating. Lu Jianfei said sharply.

"My lord, this is a bad statement, I, General Zhang, am wholeheartedly thinking about the emperor, not acting like some people. The lives of soldiers are extremely important, and marching and fighting is not a child's play. If you are not completely sure, you have to have at least seven or eight points. However, in the current situation, we are not even 50 percent sure, so why do we want to do a counteroffensive? Isn't it in vain to cut off our own way out? Therefore, going back to the south is the best policy. Li Sichao did not shy away at all, and said-for-tat.

Lu Jianfei couldn't hold it back at this moment, and pulled out the Sun Slashing Sword, which reflected a dazzling light under the light of the fire, as if he was going to get rid of these two ill-intentioned people for the emperor at this moment.

Sabre-rattling, touch-and-go!

Outside, among the personal soldiers brought by Bao Guocai, one of them stared at the Chinese military tent with his eyes, and he walked over slowly while people were not paying attention. Although the southern army guarding also saw him act, after all, he was the person brought by the emperor, and he acted alone, so he did not deliberately stop him.

Who is this person......
