Step on a branch

Chapter 349
In the big tent, Marquis Yongning winked.

Qin Wei understood and withdrew, and the last one left was Liu Ben.

Signaling Liu Ben to sit down, Marquis Yongning sighed, "I've worked hard for you these past few years."

Liu Ben was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the old master to say that, after recovering, he smiled and waved his hand.

Are you working hard?
There are more or less.

In the past few years, the imperial court's emphasis on Feimenguan was only in keeping it.

General Mao complained quite a bit about this, especially since the Marquis of Yongning, who had been training troops every year before, had no news, and General Mao even scolded "Old Man Qin".

As Mao Gu'an's deputy general, Liu Ben can understand General Mao's emotions, but he also relied on the promotion of the Marquis of Yongning to become what he is today. Therefore, it can almost be said that in the entire Feimen Pass, the one who listens to the Marquis of Yongning the most is Liu Ben. up.

It is precisely because of this mutual trust that the Marquis of Yongning made Lin Fan and Liu Ben hook up as soon as they arrived at Feimen Pass.

But to say that it was very hard work, it was not.

Whether it's training or fighting, it's what people like them should do.

As for doing things without telling General Mao, Liu Ben did only a few things, and he managed to hide it from Mao Gu'an.

Marquis Yongning sat down on the side, and said: "Now, General Mao is stationed in Xizhou City. There is an outpost there, and it is very important. After we set off, I want to hand over the Feimenguan to you."

Liu Ben said, "Don't worry, whether it's me, Zhen Hao, or Cao Lun, we will guard the Feimen Pass."

With Xizhou in front, the pressure to fly the gate is very small.

Xiliang would not be able to attack here even if he wanted to counterattack, and Nanshu, the grass on the wall, did not dare to move carelessly at this moment.

"You must be the guard," the Marquis of Yongning said in a deep voice, "It's not Zhen Hao or Cao Lun, it must be you."

Such a persistent statement shocked Liu Ben.

Old Hou Ye, there is something in his words.

Especially, thinking of the situation that Old Hou Ye and the others were facing, a thought faintly crossed his mind.

"You..." Liu Ben hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask.

Marquis Yongning said again: "Going to the capital, there is absolutely no possibility of being good.

The old man's life is not worth it, and it's not that he is reluctant to part with the whole family, but that Da Zhou has to go on.

The emperor acted against the trend, and if it went on for a long time, Dazhou would fall without Xiliang and Nanshu.

Before the late emperor passed away, he entrusted Dazhou to the old man. The old man must stop the emperor and assist the new king. "

Hearing these words, Liu Ben almost jumped up, but he couldn't move because the hand of Yongninghou was heavily on his shoulder.

Unable to stand up and calm down, Liu Ben's body trembled uncontrollably.

"Xin Jun?" Liu Ben almost bit his tongue, "Which Your Highness?"

Since it is for the great Zhou, the surname is always Zhao in this world, right?

Of the several highnesses under the emperor's knees, which one can take on heavy responsibilities and conquer the world?

Liu Ben didn't think that Lord Hou would exercise power, but what about the others?

Can the new ruler, who doesn't understand government affairs and can't obey the public, please those old foxes in the capital?
The Marquis of Yongning can fight for the new king, but can he manage the internal affairs for the new king?
Power messes people's hearts.

Why did the previous dynasty go into troubled times?
Because those little emperors who couldn't afford the government one after another have raised the hearts of the people below.

If it is replaced by a new king, if it is not handled properly, how can Da Zhou ensure that he will not repeat the same mistakes?
Have you ever thought about this, Master Hou?

Liu Ben raised his head and stared at Yongninghou with wide eyes.

Marquis Yongning knew exactly what he was thinking, and he patted Liu Ben on the shoulder vigorously: "He can. His surname is Zhao, and he is the orphan of the former prince. He didn't grow up among the people. I have been in the officialdom for several years, and it is because of him that I am full of confidence."

Liu Ben didn't speak.

Old Hou Ye answered all the questions he imagined. Although the answers were superficial, at least they sounded good.

Especially the "orphan of the former prince", this alone is a thousand times stronger than any relative of this clan or that clan.

Calculating his age, he should be in his early 20s. At such a young age, he has been in the officialdom and can fight wars, so he really should not be underestimated.

Especially under the eyes of the emperor...

Huh?
In recent years, Dazhou can be regarded as a war, and this is the only time, right?
Then, those who meet the conditions mentioned by Lord Hou, seem, seem, possibly, maybe...

Liu Ben's entire shoulders sank.

He thought he knew the answer.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial decree of the emperor makes sense.

"I, I thought that he was very familiar." Liu Ben was a little speechless, and in the middle of speaking, he added, "There is someone in him."

Not every general can fight with the soldiers.

Even if they get along well and trust each other, the atmosphere between them is different from person to person.

As for Lin Fan's feeling to Liu Ben, Liu Ben didn't think of the easy-going and wanton when he got along with the soldiers, but now thinking about it, that kind of spirit is very similar to that of the former prince.

It was also at this moment that Liu Ben finally understood.

Why did Marquis Yongning insist on paving the way for Lin Fan at this age? The old Marquis was not waiting for a future commander of the three armies, but wanted to return everything that belonged to the former prince and his son to Lin Fan.

In order to be able to convince the public, Lin Fan needed to make a name for himself in this battle and establish a prestige.

It is not enough just to accumulate qualifications, one must leave an indelible name on the military newspaper, so as to make the road ahead easier.

"He and I will definitely raise troops," Marquis Yongning said in a low voice, "Although the Tiger Talisman is in the hands of this old man, I dare not say how many people we can command.

There are also General Feng and An Beihou. They don't know the inside story. Even if they know, they don't have to follow the old man.

Once they know the old man's determination and lead troops to prevent the old man from returning to Beijing, there is only one battle left.

If they control the troops, the old man and Lin boy will be empty-handed, and the only way out is Feimen Pass and Xizhou City.

Only when you are at Feimenguan can the old man come back with peace of mind.

The old man also talked to Mao Gu'an, he may not be willing to join the old man in raising troops, but he promised not to stop him, if the old man is at Feimenguan, he will not attack both sides with the court's pursuers. "

Liu Ben's throat rolled.

This question is actually not difficult for him to choose.

In order to survive in troubled times, he chose to join the army under Qin Yin's command.

Fighting all the way, several adventures, his life was also saved by Qin Yin, if not for the old Hou Ye's rescue, Liu Ben would have been decapitated long ago.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he also followed the former prince to march south.

At that time, he was a sixth-rank casual rank, and he couldn't compare with the generals who went out together, but he was not an unknown soldier, and he served as a vanguard in the army.

Therefore, he is no stranger to the former prince.

It can even be said that for the sake of military arrangements, Zhao Shi often communicated with him.

He had great admiration for the former prince, and he also felt extremely sorry for the sudden death of the former prince.

In the past few years, when Feimenguan was the most difficult, not to mention Mao Gu'an's scolding, Liu Ben also thought in private that if the first prince ascended the throne, Xiliang would have broken through long ago.

Unfortunately, the old man has passed away.

And now, 20 years later, the son of the old man decided to join the army...

Liu Ben took a deep breath when he thought of the flying magic soldier on the cliff of Yushakou.

He stood up and clasped his fists together: "The last general takes orders!"
