retaliate

Pei Jian has been waiting for Yang Xuan outside the duty room. According to yesterday's arrangement, they will discuss the matter of the battle today.

Zhen Siwen arrived earlier than him and squatted under the eaves.

This is an old man from the time when the Duke started his family. Even Liu Qing would smile and nod his head when he saw him, giving him a bit of a naughty face.

The same is true for Pei Jian.

Hearing that Zhen Siwen had won the nickname of a bandit in Chang'an, called the Northern Border Bandit, Pei Jian thought, now that Zhen Siwen is the governor of a state, at least he should be prudent!

Zhen Siwen was indeed very steady, and he was polite and restrained when chatting with officials.

Pei Jian also had a high opinion of him, thinking that this person might be a member of the imperial court in the future.

Don't think that the old people who start a family can make a fortune. In many cases, if the old people can't stand firm, or go the wrong way, or lack the ability, they are more likely to be sent down.

Without him, it is not enough to succeed in the center, but more to fail.

When he heard Yang Xuan coming from outside, Pei Jian just wanted to go up to meet him, when Zhen Siwen started to undress in a hurry.

The action is fast.

He quickly took off his clothes and rushed down with his upper body naked.

The four words on the chest looked like they were still bleeding.

Others have tattoos, but this one has blood.

The key is that those four words are too eye-catching.

——The Duke’s Loyal Dog!
Pei Jian's city was shocked.

Liu Qing rubbed his eyes.

Luo Cai was dumbfounded.

Song Zhen twitched a few beards, but forgot about the pain.

Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"Sven, get up!"

The Duke's Loyal Dog!

This is too fruity!

Behind him, Lin Feibao said in a low voice: "Duke, the word dog has been pulled down to the left."

Only then did Yang Xuan notice that Quanzi Yiheng's left side was pulled halfway down.

It is impossible to write wrong.

In other words, what Zhen Siwen originally wanted to engrave was not the character for dog, but
Han Ji smiled and said, "Chen!"

Loyal minister of the state!

"stand up!"

Yang Xuan took the lead in entering the room.

Afterwards, Han Ji went over and said with a smile, "Is Mr. Zhen cold? Come on, hurry up and get some clothes for Mr. Zhen."

Zhen Siwen's clothes were thrown under the eaves, and Pei Jian went to pick them up and handed them to him.

Zhen Siwen put it on casually, and then went in to plead guilty.

"Want to go out with me?"

Yang Xuan looked up from the map.

"Yes!"

"Why do you use such methods?"

Yang Xuan asked.

Han Ji coughed dryly and looked at everyone
Jiang Cunzhong and the others haven't come yet
The troika, plus him and Pei Jian.

All their own.

Zhen Siwen said: "The lower officials only want to follow the Duke."

"Tell me a reason." Yang Xuan said angrily: "If you weren't an old man, you would have been beaten out with a stick earlier!"

Damn, it's fine if you want to be a loyal minister of Northern Xinjiang.

As a loyal minister of the state, outsiders will inevitably create public opinion when they read it, and everyone knows that I, Yang, are rebellious.

Zhen Siwen said: "The lower official also fought with Helian Du several times in Longhua Prefecture. The lower official found that Helian Du used troops to defend himself. It doesn't look like he wants to counterattack."

Yang Xuan's heart moved slightly.

It seems that Zhen Siwen has made a lot of progress!
"If you want to counterattack, morale is the first priority. Helian Du used his troops to be conservative. It can be seen that he did not want to boost morale. Otherwise, morale will be at its peak but he will do nothing. Backlash is the most terrifying. If the army has no fighting spirit, it will have no confidence."

Gee!
Yang Xuan suddenly regretted it.

He was wholeheartedly looking for the talents of generals and important ministers, but after looking around, he only looked outside.

Look at Zhen Siwen, this analysis is penetrating and meticulous, and it has a clear understanding of Helian Du's mentality.

What is the core of the art of war?
Think about people's hearts!

But none of the famous generals is simple.

You can't catch up with ordinary people who are so brain-wrenching.

Zhen Siwen was originally just a small official in Taiping. How many such small officials are there in the world?

You can have as much as you want.

But once he got the stage to display his talents, this little official burst out with splendor that surprised Yang Xuan.

If you don't know the art of war, teach yourself!
If you don't understand governance, learn!

Just like this step by step, until today, people dare not underestimate it.

Yang Xuan thought of when the world was in chaos, at that time, those traffickers and pawns climbed up and called out to gather crowds to cause chaos.After a fight, the one who survived became the grass head king.There are tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops, and dozens of parties
They can use soldiers and govern.

Yang Xuan had a clear realization: the so-called talent is actually more?
stage!

He just gave Zhen Siwen a stage.

There is no shortage of talents in the world, what is lacking is a stage to sharpen talents, and a pair of eyes of the superiors who are good at discovering talents.

And, the mechanism that makes talent stand out.

This is the way an emperor employs people!
Yang Xuan only felt that his mind was clear.

With a smile in his eyes, he asked, "So, what is your judgment?"

Han Ji looked at Zhen Siwen, thinking that this person was lucky, if it was another person, such as Huang Chunhui or Liao Jin, these four words would only bring bad luck.

Zhen Siwen said: "The lower officials judged that Beiliao had no intention of counterattacking, at least not in the spring."

Yang Xuan looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "How?"

It's better to add two words!
Han Ji silently added two words: Zhuqing.

Song Zhen nodded and said appreciatively, "It's not bad to see a little knowledge!"

Luo Cai said, "Congratulations, Duke."

"Congratulations?" Yang Xuan asked.

Luo Cai said, "Congratulations to the Duke for winning a general."

"Hahahaha!"

Yang Xuan laughed out loud.

Jiang He'er pursed her lips, thinking that the Duke would not even think about it, this person did this so blatantly, it caused a lot of uproar all over the world, and the influence was very bad.

Liu Qing asked with a smile: "Why did Sven think of tattooing? And tattooed these four characters."

This is the point!

Zhen Siwen said: "When I was in Longhua Prefecture, I looked at the map and thought about it. Last time I received a report from Tao County that the Shegu people might send troops this spring, I thought, so, it is Ning Xing who wants to deal with the Shegu people first. , then Helian Du's posture will match."

This is where the idea came from.

"The next official thought, if that's the case, if our Northern Xinjiang army attacks this spring, once Cangzhou and Yanzhou are breached, the distance from Ningxing will only be Jiangzhou. Ningxing will be shaken, and the Northern Liao Kingdom will be in danger."

Damn!

Zhen Siwen can see it, and Li Bi and others in Chang'an will not fail to see it.

It's no wonder that everyone is madly attacking Beijiang.

Beiliao was even more outrageous, and for this reason he even resorted to assassinating Yiniang.

Both sides are going crazy.

But what is the source?
The source is the internal struggle in Beiliao, which gave Beijiang a chance.

Otherwise, if the Neizhou was attacked in the first battle, Beiliao would be able to attack with a large army, forcing Yang Xuan to fight decisively.

If the northern border army at that time faced the Northern Liao Dynasty who came from all over the country.
Win or lose, four or six, or even three or seven.

So, it's luck.

Do not!
It's destiny!
Yang Xuan said silently: "Did you see it? I will lead the army northward. If we win, the world will be turned upside down."

"Northern Liao Guozuo is in danger, and Chang'an will inevitably go crazy. In this way, the Duke is in a dilemma. If he advances, he will be accused of treason. If he retreats, he can only be beaten passively. The lower official thought."

Zhen Siwen raised his head, the incision on his chest was bleeding, and he said sincerely: "At this moment, when someone stands up and warns Chang'an, if they think that Beijiang can only be beaten passively, then they are wrong, wrong Outrageous."

Han Ji's heart moved slightly, "Then what do you mean?"

Zhen Siwen's eyes were piercing, "Xiaguan didn't sleep all night, and he carved these four characters on his chest in the early morning. The Duke is loyal to the dog. If the Duke chooses to endure, then the official cannot! The official will come forward and lead with those brothers
Lift up the Duke, all the way, south! "

Go south!

That is a rebellion!

And this is coercion. Zhen Siwen and other generals coerce Qin Guogong to rebel.

If you are guilty, hit me, Zhen Siwen, on the head!
咱！
I can handle it!
He had a not-so-strong chest, and blood was still flowing.

Everyone is silent.

In awe!

The army was about to set off, and the men of Jinyiwei wore sergeant clothes and mingled in the city gate, staring at the crowds entering and leaving.

Da da da!
More than a hundred riders appeared in front.

The sergeant at the head of the city shouted, "Be alert!"

A group of sergeants stepped forward, and the sergeants at the head of the city stretched their bows and set arrows.

This is a northern border that is always ready for war.

Numerous painful lessons in the past remind them that once they are negligent, the consequences will be that their homes will be trampled.

The sergeant at the top of the wall watched the cavalry slow down sharply. Then, a man in plain clothes rode out and looked up at the top of the wall, as if he had said something.

He rode forward alone.

"Stop!"

A rookie shouted, holding the spear tightly in his hand, once the opponent dared to move forward, he should stab the opponent without hesitation according to the previous teaching of the team.

Stabbing to death is his business, not stabbing is your business.

This is the teaching of the team.

The new soldier found that something was wrong with the old soldier beside him, he looked a little surprised and a little lazy.

The man got off his horse and said: "It will be so long in the future, why will it still look like this?"

The team is coming out, salute.

"I have seen the king!"

King Wei nodded, "Where's Yang Xuan?"

The captain said: "The villain doesn't know."

"It's indeed a wrong question to ask you, so don't spread the word, this king will go find him on his own!"

King Wei led his horse in.

People who entered and exited the city gate stopped and leaned to the sides.

King Wei is here!

He is not competing with the King of Yue in Chang'an, what is he doing in northern Xinjiang?

Could it be that he was defeated in the Inheritance War?

Ran to northern Xinjiang to seek refuge.

Almost everyone has this idea.

But it doesn't look like it!
More than a hundred riders stepped forward, and there were even civil servants among them, which broke the previous conjecture.

This is business!

What did the emperor order Wei Wang to come to northern Xinjiang?

At the top of the city, Jiang Cunzhong said coldly: "Could it be that you want to mix sand?"

He Lianyan said: "King Wei doesn't have that idea."

Jiang Cunzhong turned his head, "People change!"

"Many people, he can't change!"

"Ha ha!"

"That's what the Duke said!"

"Well, pretend I didn't say anything."

"The Duke of the State said that King Wei is not a person who fights for power in his bones, but he has to stand up due to the situation. If this person is not because of his status, he should be my best friend!"

This is Yang Xuan's evaluation of King Wei.

As soon as he entered the city, King Wei found that the atmosphere was not right.

"There are a lot of sergeants, is this going to go out?"

The general who accompanied him into the city nodded, "Yes, the Duke is ready to go north."

"Who's on the other side?"

"Helian Du, the famous general of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and Lin Jun, the lord of the three states!"

"It was a very interesting battle. This king came at the right time."

The general glanced at King Wei, and saw that there was more expectation in his eyes.

Someone had already gone to the Jiedu envoy's mansion to report, Yang Xuan was startled when he heard the news, "Why did the emperor ask him to come?"

"Pretend to appease!" Han Ji's first reaction was this.

"possible!"

"Roughly so!"

Unexpected unity of opinion, it can be seen that in the eyes of the bigwigs in northern Xinjiang, there are fewer and fewer cards that Chang'an can play now.

This is also Li Mi, Yang Songcheng and others' self-inflicted crimes. They used their power to suppress others and used all kinds of means.But Yang Xuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the subsequent counterattack did not give face at all.

If the two sides fall out, many official methods will not work.

If he sent an important minister, Yang Xuan would be right, the two former Shangs under his command are ready to fight at any time.

If you send a general, Pei Jian will go there: My father once said that you
If there are too many talents, the waist will be hardened.

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "No matter how many, let's welcome it!"

Yang Xuan led his subordinates out to meet him.

As soon as he went out, King Wei had already come in.

Han Ji said in a low voice, "Actually, the duke is giving too much face when he goes out to greet him. King Wei came straight in so as not to embarrass the duke. The duke's evaluation of him is indeed pertinent."

"I've seen the king." Yang Xuan cupped his hands and looked at King Wei carefully, "Slow down!"

King Wei rubbed his face, "It's been rainy this year, and the patter of the road makes people lose their appetite. But, you look fatter."

"Is there?" Yang Xuan touched his face, a little worried that he would become a greasy man.

"Is the child okay?" King Wei asked.

"The boss started to be naughty, and the second child is not easy to worry about. I often say that the relationship between father and son is a predestined relationship, and my responsibility is to raise him and teach him to be a good person. The road has nothing to do with me.

But watching the child grow up day by day, his heart became softer and softer, and he always wanted to arrange his life well.Even if we go underground, we will still miss him."

"My king's future road will not be smooth. At the beginning, I hesitated whether to have a child. I thought about having a child. If I don't make it right in the future, I will suffer and suffer. Maybe I will be executed. But the child came out, looking at him , those thoughts disappeared, I just want to grow up with him."

A group of bigwigs were a little dumbfounded after watching the two of them exchange pleasantries, and they were actually talking about their sons and daughters.

"Ahem! What do you mean by coming this time?" Yang Xuan asked. "Is there a pit?"

"No pitfalls!" King Wei said, "It's just to comfort you."

Yang Xuan laughed, "Then why don't you beat me on the shoulder?"

"Alright!" Wei Wang clenched his fist, the huge fist was daunting.

"Hahahaha!"

The two laughed, and then entered the value room.

After sitting down, King Wei casually put the bamboo hat aside and asked, "But you want to go to war?"

Yang Xuan nodded, "It's just a few days."

King Wei asked: "Before this king came, the guards in Chang'an were practicing."

——Papa Chuihui, Yang Songcheng and others are watching.

Yang Xuan was silent for a moment, "Thank you very much."

"Although I said that killing people should be done quickly, I know that this battle is too difficult. If the battle goes wrong, the army of Chang'an will overwhelm the border, and the army of Northern Liao will overwhelm the border. Under internal and external pressure, northern Xinjiang will be in danger."

"So, are you still here?"

King Wei looked at him.

"This king once said that if you need it, this king will fight side by side with you!"
