In the sixth year of Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne, the courtiers who were dissatisfied with his rule were basically purged, and then it was time to exert his political ambitions. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, just when Wu Zetian set up Di Renjie to run the Tang Dynasty for Xiangguo, the small border country of the Tang Dynasty, the Yueshi State, was about to move, and on the surface it was peaceful, but in fact, Wu Zetian's ruling group would face a terrible potential crisis because of this small country.

"Your Majesty, the border pass is eight hundred miles away!"

Hearing the sound outside the door, Emperor Wu sat up in surprise and hurriedly changed his clothes and opened the door.

"What's going on?"

"Back to the emperor, the Yue clan suddenly gathered a large number of soldiers and horses on the border with our country, and General Mahan ordered a small one to come to the holy report!"

"What does the small country of the Moon Clan want to do, hum. Come on!" Emperor Wu was furious.

"The minions are here!"

"Send a decree to me, and order the officials above the fourth rank in the court to immediately gather in the Wude Hall to discuss the military aircraft affairs. ”

"Slaves obey!"

Turning his head, he said to the banner soldier who passed the report: "You rest for half a day and hurry back to the border pass, be sure to tell General Mahan, always pay attention to the movements of the soldiers and horses of the Yue Clan, and remember not to act rashly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the little one must convey his will, and the little one will retire!"

The courtiers did not dare to slack off, and after receiving the edict from their father-in-law, they got up in the middle of the night and hurried to the court.

The civil and military officials in the Wude Hall gathered, and when they learned of the urgent report at the border pass, the ministers continued to discuss, which made Emperor Wu very angry.

"Has the small Yueyue Clan stumped you ministers of the Tang Dynasty, which minister has some opinions first?" asked Emperor Wu to the ministers under the royal ranks.

Wenchen seems to be more active, but the generals are not so, since Zhenguan has been in the Tang Dynasty and the people's peace, these high-level generals have been idle for too long, just let their subordinates lead troops to guard the frontier, and nothing major happened. Now that the Yue Clan has gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, once the war starts, they will definitely be selected by the Martial Emperor, and the probability of winning the bid will be higher for the generals who have not touched the big sword for a long time.

Wu Zetian's hand-picked Xiangguo Di Renjie played: "Your Majesty, although the Yueshi country is a small country, it has a martial style and national unity, and many countries that want to annex it have returned in vain over the years, and they have suffered a lot of losses. The general of the Yue clan in his current dynasty, Tubaoyeguan, was unstoppable, and General Mahan had fought him twice many years ago, but he did not gain the upper hand. Therefore, in view of this gathering of the Yue Clan's army, it should not be underestimated, and to prevent them from having aggressive ambitions, the minister suggested sending another general to rush there with the imperial court reinforcements to prevent the situation from abruptly!"

"Hehehe, Di Xiang is too worried, even if this sudden Baoye Pass is brave, our dynasty can fight bravely abounds, and there are millions of male divisions, the Yue Clan is just a drop in the bucket even if it is pouring the strength of the whole country, hitting the stone with an egg, do they have the guts?" retorted the opposing Yizhong Shuling.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Di Xiang is very reasonable. Although as Fang Cai Zhongshu Ling said, the Yue Clan Kingdom is not the opponent of my Tang army at all, but if it is unprepared for a sneak attack, the Tang soldiers will sacrifice too much innocently. Winning victory with the least sacrifice is the best policy for a soldier!" Li Yuanfang supported Di Renjie's statement.

"Well, then what countermeasures does Li Aiqing have?" asked Emperor Wu continued.

As Di Xiang said. ”

"Send a general to lead reinforcements......? Who's that to send?"

"This ...... But it would be nice if General Zhenguo was here, and all the countries at the border gates would be terrified at the mention of his name, and they would not be able to scare the enemy away at all. Yuan Fang looked at Di Renjie's eyes, and said in a hurry.

The wise people in the court also understood that the destruction of the Zhenguo General's Mansion was by no means as light as Wu Chenghei said, but everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, for fear of causing the disaster of killing.

When encountering an urgent military situation at the border, any emperor will think of the most capable general. When it comes to General Zhenguo, Emperor Wu is also very worried.

"Yes, General Zhenguo's prestige is majestic and majestic, with him, no one dares to step on my border pass Lei Chi! It's just ......" Emperor Wu's eyes were mixed with some tears.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will not give up the slightest opportunity, and will do his best to find the whereabouts of General Zhang. The top priority now is the military situation of the Yue Clan, for the sake of the tranquility of the surrounding passes, Weichen agrees that reinforcements should be sent to help, and this matter must not be neglected. Wu Chenghe, who was standing opposite Di Renjie, spoke.

"Well, what the left minister said is very true, so does the left minister have a recommended general to lead the troops?"

"The so-called internal lifting does not avoid relatives, but only uses talents. The minister recommended the first-class guard Wu Zhuohan. ”

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, Wu Chenghei just wants to insert his subordinates into various positions in the court and control power. In Zhang Jinkai's absence, he aimed at the central army.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, if the lower official is not mistaken, Wu Zhuohan is your personal bodyguard?" Zhonglang said He Xu intentionally.

"Don't hide it from Lord He, it's the old man's guard. If you don't know what objections you have, you may wish to raise them before the Holy One. ”

A pair of sharp eyes glared angrily, and He Xu still didn't know his danger.

"Please forgive the official for saying bluntly, although Wu Zhuohan is a first-class guard selected from the masters of the Great Interior, but this matter is related to the safety of the border pass, and the other party is a Tubao Yeguan in the name of a brave general, so it is really inappropriate to recommend him as a leading general without strict screening by the generals. He Xu, who was arrogant, was righteous.

"What He Aiqing mentioned is not unreasonable, what does Zuo Xiang think?"

"Okay, then let's see the strength on the stage!" Unexpectedly, Wu Chengsi not only did not object, but accepted it happily, and seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, and he was very confident in Wu Zhuohan's ability.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, the generals will be selected from the post, and the generals will be selected!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Retreating from the hall gate, Wu Chengsi walked down the steps with a smile and rubbed against General Zhonglang's arm, and walked away without looking back, which seemed to imply something intentionally or unintentionally.

At both ends, the border guard Mahan is gathering all the garrisons to prepare for war in case of emergency. At the same time, in order to know each other and confidant, and understand the possible enemy, Mahan sent his confidant deputy Liang Yishan out of the customs to disguise himself as a businessman to secretly inquire about Yue's affairs.

"Report to the general!" Liang Yishan, a close adjutant general, hurried to the border to guard the general's tent.

"Oh, Vice Admiral Liang is back. Hurry, sit down, it's really hard to sit. What did you find?" said Mahan with joy.

"General Hui, the last general heard reliable news in the capital of the Yueshi country, and Tubaoye Pass has been recruited and selected from all over the country in recent months, and it is said that it is a hundred miles to select a soldier to form a strong corps, and it is publicly named the snake group. ”

Ma Han exclaimed: "The snake group, one in a hundred, is really painstaking, if it is not used for war, how can it be so selective." ”

"Yes, the last general also secretly found out the assembly place of that group of troops, and they were stationed less than twenty miles away from us. Liang Yishan suddenly thought.

"I understand, the current gathering of the army of the Yue Clan is not the main force of the Raid Baoye Pass, the real main force is the carefully selected snake group!"
