Yan Kai slammed Dou Jiankai's recital to the ground.

Gao Yi, the prime minister of Qi State, walked out of the crowd and arched his hand: "King, the original intention of my country's use of troops against Ye State this time is to beat the water dogs, 200,000 infantry troops plus 50,000 cavalry troops, and it cannot be an imperfect deployment. ”

"Such a deployment and the wise strategy of the king, not to mention that the Ye State can be completely destroyed, but it is enough to make the Ye State unable to advance eastward within ten years and harass the people on the border of our country. ”

"But now the good situation has been buried by Dou Jiankai's carelessness, and the three loyal generals under the command of the king died in front of the battle, and Zhang Wutao, the disciple of the head of the Thunder Academy, was beaten into a waste, which is nothing more than the loss of my Great Qi Country. ”

Therefore, the minister dared to implore the king to severely punish Dou Jiankai to make the people angry, and at the same time give an explanation to the Thunder Academy. ”

Before King Qi Yan Kai could reply, Ling Run, the general on the side, stood up and intervened to give a salute: "Great King, the minister thinks that now is not the time to severely punish Dou Jiankai. ”

Qi King Yan Kai was also a little hesitant, after all, if Dou Jiankai was severely punished, no matter what the outcome was, it would be him, the king, who was wrong.

Wang, could it be wrong?

King, can never be wrong.

Ling Run stood up, knowing the difficulty in Yan Xingxing's heart, he pretended to hesitate for a moment, and Yan Kai asked, "Oh, what does the general mean......"

"The minister thought that a year ago, Ye and the Later Jin Dynasty united, broke into the hinterland of our country, burned and looted in the hinterland of our country, and the hatred of our people for the Ye people has reached a peak, a peak of the apex, which is of great benefit to our country to launch the second national war against the Ye country. ”

"But changing generals in battle is a taboo on the march, and I think the king also knows this, so the minister suggested that Dou Jiankai should not be punished in any way during the war, but another general should be sent to go in the name of the overseer, on the surface it is to assist Dou Jiankai, but in fact, the new overseer has full control of the war against Ye. ”

Ling Run's words can be said to have not only given Yan Kai the face of the monarch he wanted, but also said everything he wanted to say.

With such emotional intelligence, it is no wonder that Qi Wang Yan is so fond of Ling Run.

Qi Wang Yankai's tightly locked eyebrows slowly relaxed, looked at Ling Run, and his tone softened: "I don't know, which one does the general want to recommend?"

"General Zhennan who was arranged by the king in Hanshui County, Dong Haoyu!"

When he heard this name, Prime Minister Gao Yi on his side frowned, did not speak, and turned his head to signal a middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man understood, and then walked out of the Wenchen, arched his hand at Qi Wang Yan Kai, and said in a deep voice: "General, if you say so, I, as a subordinate official, have to say a few words." ”

"Now that your son is already in an important position in the army, your eldest apprentice Dou Jiankai is the commander of the attack on Ye State, and you now want to introduce your second apprentice Dong Haoyu into it. ”

"General, you are already a figure above ten thousand people under one person, and it seems a little unreasonable to do this. ”

Qi King Yan Kai himself was a little moved when he heard Ling Run say this name, after all, he also knew the ability of this young general.

Although Dong Haoyu does not have the same background and reputation as Dou Jiankai, his ability to fight is obvious to all, and Qianshu is also under his deterrence, and he does not dare to connect with Ye and Later Jin, and the Three Kingdoms attack Qi.

It's just that under the reminder of this middle-aged man, Yan Kai, the king of Qi, reacted, and now most of the generals in the army have more or less something to do with Ling Run, either his apprentices, or his confidants.

That's not a good thing for a king.

Although there is an old saying that people are not suspicious and suspicious are not used, few kings can truly trust their courtiers.

Seeing the hesitant look on King Qi's face, Ling Run didn't look at the middle-aged man, but said, "King, now is the critical moment for my Qi country, don't listen to the villain's slander." ”

"I, Ling Run, have guarded the northeast gate for the Qi State for thirty years, fought hundreds of battles with Donghu, and the scars on my body are countless, and Weichen has never complained to the king, not even once, but this time, I must say, because this war is very important to my Qi country. ”

"If the army can break through the Huling Pass of Ye State in one fell swoop, then Ye State has no danger to defend, and our army can advance eastward in one fell swoop, and include the territory of Ye State in the pocket of our Qi State, of course, if the advance is hindered, our army can defend it according to Huling Pass, and Ye State will also become the bag of my Qi State in the future. ”

"Since I was born in troubled times, I don't mind being a pawn who opens up territory for the king and sheds blood for the great qi. ”

"I am like this, my apprentices are even more so, whether it is Dong Haoyu, Dou Jiankai, or my son, I dare to say that the three of them are the best of the young generation of Daqi. ”

"If the ranks present feel that there is anyone better than them, they can recommend it, I have nothing to say, but the premise is that whoever dares to bear this infamy after losing the battle, who dares to bear the price of the 200,000 unjust souls, if you dare, then you can come, I Ling Run has no two words. ”

Ling Run's words were sonorous and powerful, and the generals around him also did not squint, looking at this back.

Ling Run's status in the Qi army was so high that all the generals could only look up to it.

Of course, this is also what he has cut out with his blood in the past 30 years, and smashed it out punch by punch.

Guarding the northeast gate, resisting the invasion of the eastern barbarians, so that the eastern barbarians did not dare to go south to herd horses, this is Ling Run's merit, and it is also Ling Run's contribution to the whole world.

But the empire is divided into east, west, north and south, and there is Donghu in the east, but what about the west?

There is the country of Gumo in the west, there are tribes in the desert, and the person who guards the northwest gateway, but who remembers?

Maybe there are only a few of them.

After the Ye State court was in the next dynasty, the general Wu Dangguo took the lead in walking out of the main hall.

When Li Puyi passed by Wu Dangguo, he snorted heavily, and then said: "General Wu, don't think that I don't know what you are planning, but let me tell you, you are wrong, you are very wrong, and sooner or later you will pay the price for what you did today." ”

Wu Dangguo scoffed at Li Puyi's words, snorted, and said meaningfully: "What, I just think that I should reward Chu Yujia, is there anything wrong?"

"Huh. ”

Li Puyi laughed angrily, and said coldly: "General Wu, what you think in your heart, you know it yourself, please don't treat everyone in this world as a fool, at least I'm not that fool." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Puyi brushed his sleeves and left.

When Prime Minister Gong Qingdang saw Li Puyi walking away, he smiled at Wu Dangguo, and then followed Li Puyi's pace.

Although the officials of the royal court have a rich fortune and a life of fine clothes and food, it does not mean that everyone is.

For example, Li Puyi is such a person, he is the teacher of the two dynasties, and now he is a prince, it stands to reason that it is a position above 10,000 people, but his life is embarrassing, and he even has a set of court clothes to wear for a few years.

Outside the royal court, Gong Qingdang stopped Li Puyi, who was about to take his proud son back to his house.

"Mrs. Li, my eldest daughter specially brought some tea a few days ago, are you interested in having a drink with me?"

Li Puyi stopped, glanced at Gong Qingdang and said: "Since the prime minister of the palace is willing to drink a pot of tea with the old man, the old man is naturally not polite to the prime minister, after all, the prime minister has a very rich family." ”

Regarding Li Puyi's obviously sarcastic words, Gong Qing didn't hear it at all, smiled and said: "Let's go, it just so happens that I am going to Nancheng today, and I will send Mrs. Li home by the way, so let all the people in your family go back." ”

Li Puyi did not refuse this time, gently waved his hand to a few people around him, and then entered the carriage that Gong Qingdang was riding.

Gong Qing is a good prime minister, but it doesn't mean that he is honest as an official, and the carriages he rides in are specially customized by the most famous carriage shops in Yueling City.

In the middle of the carriage drawn by two horses, there are soft collapses on both sides to rest together, and in the middle there is a tea table, as well as items for boiling tea, and even a small stove.

A small stove can be used to make tea, and it can also be used to warm up when it's cold.

Gong Qingdang personally boiled a pot of tea and poured a full cup for Li Puyi.

Li Puyi slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked softly: "The Prime Minister called me, it can't be really as simple as just letting me have a cup of tea, right?"

"Of course not, mainly to thank you. ”

"Thank me for what?"

Li Puyi snorted and said, "I just scolded your son-in-law in the court." ”

"Scolding, the more ugly the scolding, the better, the more scolding, the happier I am. ”

Gong Qing said with a smile: "If it weren't for his identity, I would have wanted to scold him a few words." ”

"Oh?"

Li Puyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Gong Qingdang with interest: "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?"

"It doesn't mean anything else, after all, Mrs. Li also said just now, no one in this world is stupid, especially people like us, everyone understands the truth. ”

Gong Qingdang sighed softly and said, "That person has only relied on the strength of an army to defend the northwest gate for my Ye country and for this world, which is really difficult for him." ”

"My country is narrow and sparsely populated, the land is barren, every year the people can eat enough is the ancestor of the virtue, a few years ago when he was better, after all, there are not so many battles to fight every year, the treasury is abundant, the northwest is peaceful, the people are happy, we also have peace of mind. ”

"But there is no way, who called this officialdom like a battlefield, he is not good at communicating with people, let alone having a good relationship with Shangguan, and it is reasonable to end up like this. ”

"Reasonable?"

Li Puyi snorted, and said with a trembling voice: "Do you know what he has done for the sake of Ye Guodu, and he has been guarding the northwest gate for nearly twenty years with the strength of an army, and you should be able to do it by anyone?"
