Views:

In the commander's mansion inside Tongguan, several people met Ge Shuhan again. After shooing away the attendants, Ye Ye explained the current situation of Cangyun Sect in detail. Ge Shuhan and Zuo Jun frowned after hearing this.

Ye Ye said: "The current chaos in the world may be related to Yun Yao or other demon gods, but it is not as simple as a simple military rebellion.

In order to prevent greater chaos from happening inside the door, they can only adopt this attitude of waiting and watching. "

Ge Shuhan nodded lightly and said: "No wonder there are Buddhist masters guarding Lingcheng over there. It seems that Buddhism has become a tool for some evil thieves to bring chaos to the world.

Even if there is no danger of Yunyao, just one Buddhist sect is enough to give Cangyun sect a headache. Besides, so many things happened to Cangyun sect at this time, alas..." Ye Ye said: "Before I left, the sect master gave me a gift. The magic weapon is called the Blood Sand Basin. This basin can turn beans into soldiers. Although the number is only about a thousand, it should be of great use in war. "

Zuo Jun immediately said: "Of course it's not small! Just imagine, if you sneak into the bandit camp alone and suddenly release these magic soldiers at the center of the army, and we take advantage of the chaos and lead the army to attack, the bandits' military strength will be far superior to mine, and it is possible Defeat without victory! Even being completely annihilated by our side is not impossible!" Ye Ye and others were overjoyed when they heard this. Chu Xiaoyun was surprised: "This... can it be so easy to annihilate an enemy army several times our size? "Zuo Jun said: "This is how it is on the battlefield. What does it mean to win by surprise? It does not mean that you can win by having an absolute advantage in strength. Otherwise, how could there be so many examples in ancient times of the weak defeating the strong and outnumbered enemies?" Ni Suxin said: "That's it. What are we waiting for? I think we can make a batch of bean soldiers now, let's take action immediately!" Ge Shuhan and Zuo Jun looked at each other and smiled. Ge Shuhan said: "How can it be that simple? Even if the weak defeat the strong, the weak The only number of soldiers on one side is that we old, weak and remnant soldiers can hardly win no matter how surprising we are.

The current plan is to consume the enemy forces against each other, causing them to have low morale and become anxious; to consume them until they are short of food and grass; to consume them until our armies from all walks of life disturb the rear of Anlu Mountain; to consume us temporary troops The civilian men recruited were trained into tigers and wolves that could go on the battlefield. At that time, if Mr. Ye suddenly made this strange move again, why worry about the traitors remaining alive? "Everyone couldn't help shouting "Hello" at the same time.

Ye Ye couldn't help but admire this veteran general even more, and secretly praised him. Considering that he knew nothing about marching and fighting, he generously gave the blood and sand basin to Zuo Jun. Zuo Jun resisted for a long time, and with Ye Ye's insistence Had to accept it.

Just as he was talking, the sergeant suddenly came to report that General Du Ganyun wanted to see him.

Ge Shuhan and Zuo Jun were startled when they heard the words. Zuo Jun asked in surprise: "What is this guy doing?" Ye Ye didn't understand, and Ni Suxin explained in a low voice: "This Du Qianyun is Yang Guozhong's confidant. He has always been I don't get along with my father.

He is not a general leading troops, and he is not among the generals guarding Tongguan this time. I don't know why this guy came suddenly.

I think it's probably not a good thing. "

At this time, Ge Shuhan also said: "It's not a good thing to think about it.

Call him in. "

The sergeant retreated, and not long after, a middle-aged general with an arrogant face walked in swaggeringly, holding the hilt of his sword at his waist. He looked at everyone in the hall with an arrogant expression, raised his chest and gave Ge Shuhan a fist, and said : "Commander, my general is polite!" He said he was polite, but anyone could see that this guy was extremely rude. Zuo Jun's face darkened and he snorted coldly, Brother Shuhan Then he smiled faintly, cupped his hands and said: "General Du, who has a body of thousands of dollars, is not in Chang'an to serve the Prime Minister and enjoy the blessings. Why do you come to such a miserable place? Could it be that the Prime Minister is worried that you are overworked, so he arranged for you to take my place? , come here to take charge of the three armies?" Ge Shuhan was polite on the surface, but his actual words were extremely derogatory. Unexpectedly, Du Ganyun didn't hear it at all, but smiled proudly: "Where is this general? Even though he deserves all the credit, he doesn’t dare to snatch the position of commander in chief!” Everyone couldn’t help but secretly laugh in their hearts.

Zuo Jun said coldly: "Then why did General Du come here?" Du Qianyun looked around and said with a proud smile: "This general, I came here just to tell the commander-in-chief that the prime minister of the country is here. Elite troops were deployed behind Tongguan, and I, Du Qianyun, will be in charge of these elite troops.

The commander-in-chief can do his best to deal with the rebels without having to restrain his hands.

If there is a crisis in Tongguan, I will lead my troops to rescue him. "

The expressions of Ge Shuhan and Zuo Jun changed simultaneously, but Du Qianyun did not notice it and still said: "The Prime Minister is also worried that the commander is too cautious, like Gao Xianzhi and others, who dare not go out to fight against the enemy, so that's why he did this.

To form this elite army, the Prime Minister did not use any money from the treasury. He funded the recruitment entirely himself. The Prime Minister's heart for the country and the people is a lesson from the sun! How dare we, the subordinates, not to die? Commander, don't blame me for talking too much. You have led your army to Tongguan for many days, but you have been unable to move.

Seeing that the rebel camp is only a few miles away from Tongguan, you are hiding in the pass as if nothing has happened. Compared with the Prime Minister's concern for the country and the people, I'm afraid..." Before he finished speaking, Zuo Jun was already heavy He slapped the table.

He was obviously very angry. He unconsciously used his Qi when he slapped the table. A thick nanmu table was shattered into pieces with his palm. Du Qianyun was so frightened that he trembled and took a few steps back. He said in shock: "You... what are you doing?" Ge Shuhan smiled slightly and said: "General Du, don't worry about it anymore. Zuo Jun never knows the severity of his actions when he is angry. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows this. "

Du Qianyun said angrily: "Angry? Why is he angry?" Ge Shuhan smiled and said slowly as if talking to an old friend: "When it comes to positions, there is no superiority between me and the Prime Minister in terms of civil and military skills. divided.

Moreover, now that I have been ordered by the Holy One to lead troops to garrison Tongguan, except that the Holy One has the right to blame me for not leading the troops properly, even Yang Guozhong has no right to say no to me.

Did General Du forget his identity and go to Tongguan to reprimand me? Is he probably tired of living? " He said such threatening words while talking and laughing, but he had a shocking majesty. Du Qianyun couldn't help but trembled again. He looked around with a blank face and saw that everyone had unkind eyes. He hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Little one. ... The young general was also stationed behind Tongguan under the emperor's order. He came here this time just to inform him. This is... also the Holy Spirit's intention.

Now that the commander-in-chief already knows, the young...the young general will take his leave..." After saying that, he bowed in panic and retreated. When he was outside the door, he ran away quickly.

Ye Ye looked at Du Qianyun's back and couldn't help laughing loudly. Du Qianyun looked back, gritted his teeth, and walked faster and faster.

Ye Ye's laughter gradually stopped and he turned to Ge Shuhan and asked: "I think this Yang Guozhong must have bad intentions. He created these 'elite soldiers' and it was superfluous in the war. What does General Ge Shu think of this matter?" ?" Ge Shuhan sneered and said: "Yang Guozhong has always been jealous of talents and talents, fearing that someone would steal his position as prime minister.

This time I was appointed emperor and held military power. He must be a villain. He felt that I had become his biggest threat, so I created these elite soldiers.

I think he is just setting up a line of defense between Tongguan and Chang'an to prevent me from harming him! It must have been his idea to ask Du Qianyun to come. He just wanted to warn me that he had already made sufficient preparations and not to take advantage of him. "

Ye Ye couldn't help but slapped the table and said angrily: "This thief is very capable of defeating people in a den!" Zuo Jun nodded and said: "That's right! Not only can these soldiers and horses protect him from being attacked by the commander when he returns, but they can also be used in large battles. When the commander is victorious, he takes the opportunity to send troops and seize military glory.

If the commander-in-chief is defeated, they are more likely to use this reason to kill the commander-in-chief and seize military power. Then Yang Guozhong can call the wind and rain whenever he wants! After hearing this, Ye Ye's heart surged with anger. He raised his palm and slapped the table again, and said angrily: "It is unnecessary for such a vicious thief to stay in the world. Just let me go back to Chang'an and kill him!" "He also unconsciously used his true energy in this shot. A flash of lightning flashed, and a table immediately turned into charcoal and scattered into pieces under the blow of his palm.

He looked down at the table and then at Zuo Jun. The two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Ge Shuhan said: "Let's just talk about this matter. After all, he is the prime minister of a country, how can he be assassinated easily? As soldiers, we only have to think about protecting our home and country.

From today on, we will focus on training our soldiers so that we can surprise the rebels as soon as possible and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop! "Everyone nodded, and after chatting for a while, Ge Shuhan ordered Zuo Jun to arrange a place to stay for everyone. Ye Ye and others went out to walk around in order to familiarize themselves with the terrain of Tongguan City. After a lot of fuss, it was already dark. After everyone had dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Ye Ye and his party lived in the same compound, but Bi Lin was still weak. Ye Ye was worried about it, so he accompanied her back to the room after dinner.

The two of them sat together, Ye Yeyou had endless things to say, while Bi Lin listened happily, feeling that the most beautiful thing in the world was nothing more than this.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, but it was Ni Suxin who brought bird's nest porridge for Bilin and said, "Sister Bilin is still weak and needs a good replenishment. I saw that you didn't eat much for dinner, so I cooked the porridge for you with my own hands. , eat quickly."

Bi Lin and Ye Ye were deeply moved by her move. Bi Lin said gratefully: "Sister Su Xin has taken care of me enough along the way, and now she cooks by herself. How dare I do this?" Ni Su Xin said with a smile. : "What is this? Brother Ye and I are from the same sect, his friends are my friends, and his relatives are my relatives. Isn't it my duty to take care of my relatives and friends? Come on, eat it while it's hot."

Ye Ye was so grateful that she didn't know what to say. She just felt that she should do something for Ni Suxin to be worthy of her.

After thinking about it, I naturally thought of the matter of guarding Tongguan this time, and couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "Su Xin, although General Geshu has made a good plan, will the emperor follow his plan? "Ni Suxin was busy serving Bi Lin to drink porridge. When she heard this, she snorted coldly and said: "That old faint, what does he know? If he had this kind of resourcefulness, Gao Xianzhi would not have died!" As soon as the words came out, she He immediately regretted it and hurriedly took a peek at Ye Ye's face. Seeing that he was just sad but not abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Ye, I'm sorry... I mean, there are bastards like Yang Guozhong and Bian Lingcheng." If I keep blowing wind next to the emperor, the emperor will definitely urge my father to send troops as soon as possible."

Ye Ye gritted his teeth and said: "That's right! Neither Yang Guozhong nor Bian Lingcheng are just bastards who care for their own selfish desires regardless of the safety of the world! I wonder if Wan'er and Brother Qi found their elder brother in Chang'an? Did they kill Bian Lingcheng? " He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Su Xin, I want to go to Chang'an!" Ni Su Xin was stunned for a long time and said in shock: "Go back to Chang'an? What are you doing back there?" Bi Lin put down the bowl and asked: "Brother Ye, what are you doing? Do you want to go back and assassinate Yang Guozhong?"
