Xie Siyuan was a student of General Wang Li, and he had been in Chang'an for so long, but he had not met the general a few times.

At the beginning, he was still a little blocked in his heart, but later, he also wanted to open it, and he didn't fantasize about being a famous general in the world, after all, not only had he never been on the battlefield, but he actually didn't even bother to read the military book.

But the day came.

The army of grassland barbarians pressed the border, the city of Daliang was in danger, and the princes were busy, although he was also worried, he also knew that he was useless.

He was supposed to be the one who was left in the corner and forgotten.

But that night, a man in black, dressed in civilian clothes, who could tell at a glance that he was a soldier from the army, came to the door, pulled him out of the house, and told him that the king had invited the general.

For any young man in Liyang who is interested in getting ahead, this is a unique opportunity, General Wang Li invites you to go, and it is not to invite you to drink tea and enjoy the flowers.

Even if it was to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, it would not be his turn, Xie Siyuan thought wildly, but he felt a little nervous inexplicably.

To be precise, he couldn't figure out why General Wang Li called him over.

He has heard a saying, killing people, the general will plan, the middle general will plan, and the next general will fight.

Although he has never been on the real battlefield and has been drinking and reading books in Chang'an City all day, he thinks that he still has some bravery, and he doubts his own ability to kill people on paper.

But to kill people with bravery, to be honest, there are many brave soldiers above him in the barracks.

So now, standing in Wang Li's mansion in Chang'an City, standing at the desk, he was very uneasy in his heart.

Wang Li wrote at the table.

Xie Siyuan stood silently in front of him, standing at the bottom of the steps, Wang Li didn't look at him, the brush in his hand didn't stop for a moment, the room was quiet and terrible, only the rustle of the pen was like flying.

Xie Siyuan endured it for a while, couldn't help it, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, he unconsciously retreated in his heart, and quietly wanted to turn around and run, but Wang Li's voice came from behind him: "Reading those idle books all day, what peerless art of war have you read?"

When Xie Siyuan heard this, his face was so red that he didn't dare to refute, so he could only stand still and keep his head down and say nothing.

Wang Li took out an old envelope that was opened from the stacked high in front of him and threw it on the table: "In addition to reading idle books, you also drink and visit Qinglou all day long, and make friends with some so-called 'elegant people'. ”

Xie Siyuan's heart was cold, probably understanding that none of the bastard things he did in Chang'an City could escape the eyes of the general.

But there is also a trace of inexplicable happiness, probably knowing that in this vast world, there is still someone who pays attention to himself.

Wang Li picked up the file thrown on the table, glanced at it, frowned and said, "You also beat the Wuhou who patrolled the streets?"

Hearing this, Xie Siyuan's head was as big as a fight, and he didn't expect that someone could find out what he did after drinking in the middle of the night, this is not a trivial matter, according to the law, it is necessary to cut off the military membership and send it to the frontier.

"What a guts. Wang Li sighed, as if he had guessed what Xie Siyuan was thinking: "It's all this time, you don't still think that you can get out of the way." ”

Xie Siyuan raised his head suddenly, and saw the anger hidden in Wang Li's eyes, and a feeling of being at the end of the road suddenly came to his heart.

He can embark on the road of military service, although it is only a name, but his current life is all thanks to Wang Li, if he doesn't even take Wang Li to see him anymore, I am afraid that no one in this world will concentrate on him anymore.

Even, he will live on the streets, after all, the place where he lives now is the old mansion of the general.

But he just smiled bitterly in his heart, didn't say a word, he had never asked for anyone in his life, not now, not in the future, even Wang Li was no exception.

He tried his best to raise his head to face Wang Li, even though he knew that after today, he would have nothing, but his head still refused to bow after all.

Wang Li sneered: "After taking so many years of military salary, I want to leave, if you really think so, then I will behead you today, I believe that even if you sue Honglu Siqing, no one will dare to say anything!"

Xie Siyuan spoke, with a little anger: "I stay in Chang'an City all day, because I am your disciple, no one else dares to teach me anymore, there is no way to learn art, there is no way to serve the country, I am idle all day and have nothing to do, what else can I do?"

Wang Li knew that what he said was true, although he had not entered the military camp for a day, but after all, he had a military status, and according to the law of Liyang, he was not allowed to run other industries.

"Nothing to do, then it's better to go with me, you're a waste, but it's better to die on the battlefield than to spend the whole day here." ”

Xie Siyun felt that he had heard it wrong, the opportunity to earn military merits was limited, and he still remembered that the last time the princes took out tens of thousands of family fortunes in order to allow their children to mix in a position in the army, just to have a chance to go out with the army.

But now, this kind of good thing actually fell on his head for no reason, just because he was the other party's student? He didn't think that Wang Li was such a fake public and private person.

"Really?" Xie Siyuan's eyes widened in confusion.

"It's too late to say that I'm afraid of death now! The vanguard will take Xie Siyuan's orders!" Wang Li threw down a token and said in an unquestionable tone: "Early tomorrow morning, rush to the vanguard camp to report, and pull out the camp at noon the day after tomorrow, if there is any delay, the military law will deal with it." ”

"Daliang City?" Xie Siyuan was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he was no longer as calm as he had shown before, like an ordinary teenager who was about to go to the battlefield.

Wang Li pushed all the files on the table aside, spread out the map of the sixteenth army formation on the front line, and stretched out his hand to point at the location of Daliang City: "The Central Plains and the grassland, the border is thousands of miles, the terrain is dangerous, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, even with my Liyang's military strength, it is impossible to protect the whole line, this time Lei Gong Mountain, was found by the spies of the grassland, so as to bypass the border pass city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains." And this Great Liang City. ”

"Daliang City is a border defense of the five cities in succession, easy to defend and difficult to attack, last time it was mainly the barbarians themselves retreated, otherwise, once captured, even if the other party fights all day long, is not good at defending the city, if you want to recapture, you have to pay several times the troops. Xie Siyuan looked at the place where Wang Li's finger was and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Wang Li nodded and said, "It seems that you are not wasting your time in Chang'an City, but you still have a little bit of unexpected, the enemy's ambitions." ”

"The ambitions of the enemy?"

"Once Daliang City is occupied by the enemy, the other party can use this place as a base to transport all the troops of the grassland. Wang Li said with a heavy face, his fingers slid down, and said: "You see, those military towns can not care, but behind Daliang City is a six-hundred-mile plain, and the cavalry that the enemy relies on the most can completely drive straight in, and at that time, if you want to completely expel the enemy from the Central Plains, it is not as simple as conquering a border city." ”

Xie Siyuan looked at the map, lowered his head and pondered, the two did not look like the relationship between a master and a disciple at all, but like friends who had known each other for many years, although he was still very young: "I heard that the prince who returned from the princes said that the grassland cavalry is like a fierce monster and moves forward, I don't know if our cavalry in Liyang has a chance on the frontal battlefield." ”

Hearing this, Wang Li sneered: "Then it depends on how big the ambition in your heart is and how high the career you want to build." ”

"Ambition?"

Xie Siyuan has a lot of doubts today.

Wang Li nodded: "Everyone has a wolf in their hearts, and if they want to make contributions, the key is how to release that wolf." ”

Looking at Xie Siyuan's frowning brows, Wang Li laughed loudly: "Don't you understand, young man, this is a unique troubled world, you will soon encounter a strong enemy, the grassland cavalry, invincible in the world?" But you should be ecstatic, because you finally have the opportunity to face them!"
