Chapter 946 Contest
"Elder, please speak." Wang Xian and Bin Hong responded in unison.

"Hey!" Elder Tang sighed, and motioned for the two to sit down with a melancholy look on his face, "To be honest, I can't sleep at night lately, I'm worried!"

Bin Hong also understood that he was making too much noise, knowing that Elder Tang was going to beat him, he had a ghost in his heart, so he rushed to say: "I don't understand what the elder said. Now we have a strong army and have occupied more than half of Shandong. The big harvest is just a good time to make great strides and take the land of Qilu into your pocket, so why should the elders worry about it?"

Elder Tang glanced at him, and sighed again: "Grand Military Advisor, the so-called foreigner must first settle inward. They are all my brothers, so I just said it straight. Now you and the Second Military Advisor are always at odds, which makes this old man very embarrassing!" Just as Bin Hong was about to speak, Elder Tang raised his hand and continued, "Listen to me, we all eat in the same pot, and it is inevitable for the pot to touch the spoon. But the two of you are different. You are civil servants in our army. Bravery, everyone still expects you to come up with ideas, think of ways, and lead everyone forward. But when one of you talks east, the other talks west; Who do you listen to? Is it okay to go on like this?"

Wang Xian had always been tolerant in front of Bin Hong, and naturally he didn't respond to Elder Tang's words.Bin Hong couldn't hold back his face anymore. He knew that although Elder Tang seemed to be teaching the lesson together, he was actually blaming himself and had nothing to do with Wang Xian.Bin Hong blushed, and said in a muffled voice: "We know that the elder has opinions, and we also know that the elder values ​​Lao Hei, but how many years old brother, we can't just know that we are wrong and not say it, then the elder will not be embarrassed. , but the foundation that the brothers have worked so hard to build will be in vain!"

"Where is the student wrong, please correct me with the axe." Wang Xian said suddenly.

"I've said enough. What you're doing is clearly just talk and sensationalism!" Bin Hong glared at Wang Xian like a cockfight.

"It's the military master who has prejudices first, so let's force his words." Wang Xian stared back at Binhong not to be outdone.

Seeing that the two of them started again, Elder Tang felt like a fight, he hurriedly separated the two of them and said, "Since neither of you can agree with the other, let's save your spittle." The horse, take it out for a walk. The old man thought that the two of you might as well have a competition and see the real chapter."

"How to compete?" Bin Hong asked in a deep voice.Although Wang Xian didn't ask any questions, he still stared at Elder Tang closely.

"The autumn harvest is almost over, and the war is bound to resume. Although the situation in Qingzhou is good, it is not without worries. The biggest trouble is that it is too close to Jinan and Le'an Prefecture, and it is very difficult for the army to be stationed on two fronts at all times." Elder Tang had long said After finishing speaking, he stood up and went to the map, Bin Hong and Wang Xian also followed.

Elder Tang pointed to the two counties of Linzi and Zichuan on the map and said: "If we can take these two counties, we can connect the territory into one piece, and there will be no worries about fighting on two fronts, and the situation will be greatly improved." After finishing speaking, Elder Tang looked at the two of them and said, "I want you two to lead an army and attack two counties respectively. The first to complete the task is the winner."

"But according to the elder's order." Wang Xian agreed without hesitation.

"Okay." In front of Wang Xian, Bin Hong naturally couldn't lose the battle.

"Then it's settled. After this time, the winner will be the winner, and the loser will be the assistant. There is a clear distinction between priority and secondary, and there will be no further disagreements." Elder Tang said in a deep voice.

"It's a deal!" Wang Xian and Bin Hong clapped their hands together as an oath.

"Haha, good!" Elder Tang was in a good mood, and ordered Bin Hong to lead Ding Gugang's troops, and Wang Xian to lead Liu Xin's troops, to gather food and grass, and send troops immediately!
Hearing Elder Tang's words, Bin Hong was a little unhappy, because Liu Xin was the number one general in the Qingzhou Army, and his soldiers and horses were very elite.Elder Tang made such an arrangement, obviously showing favoritism to Wang Xian.But after thinking about it, Bin Hong had an idea, so he didn't object.

.

There has been no war since the wheat was cooked, which made Liu Xin, who was already addicted to fighting, very upset. Knowing that he was about to go out, he immediately ordered his men to prepare for the expedition.

I was so busy in the camp that my own soldiers came to report that the army division had arrived.Liu Xin is Elder Tang's old team, and he has been friends with Bin Hong for nearly 20 years, and the relationship has always been good, so he put down what he was doing and went to the living room to meet Bin Hong.

"Haha military commander, what brought you here?" Liu Xin walked into the living room with a loud smile, and cupped his hands at Bin Hong.

"My brother is here, still blowing with the wind? Uninvited." Bin Hong felt very grateful for Liu Xin calling himself a "military division" instead of a "great military division".In addition, he asked for others, so he was naturally very enthusiastic.Bin Hong stood up and shook hands with Liu Xin and said, "I heard that you are going to go to war tomorrow, so I'm here to see you off."

"Isn't the military division going to battle tomorrow?" Liu Xin was a little flattered by Bin Hong's extraordinary enthusiasm, so he hurriedly asked Bin Hong to have a drink with him. "Why are you still free to come see me?"

"Hey," Bin Hong picked up the wine cup, touched Liu Xin, smooshed, and then twirled the mouse's whiskers and said, "Lao Ding and I know the whole story, so we have nothing to worry about. It's you who I'm worried about, brother. .”

"Oh?" Bin Hong used a wine cup, while Liu Xin used a wine bowl. He took a sip of spirits, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked puzzledly, "What is there to worry about, the military commander? Could it be that you can't trust me?"

"Hey, I can't trust anyone, how can I not trust you?" Bin Hong shook his head and said: "It's just that this time the elder has said something first, let that surnamed Hei be the commander in chief, you have to obey his orders, I'm worried about you, brother, being brought by him Go to the ditch!"

"Oh..." Liu Xin widened his eyes when he heard the words, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Probably not, if I lose this time, there will be no good fruit for those surnamed Hei!"

"Hey, brother, one can't just look at the present! You have to look at the future!" But Bin Hong shook his head.

Liu Xin smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Military Master, it's not like you don't know, I don't have those twists and turns, so just speak up if you have something to say."

"Let me ask you, whose surname is Hei?" Bin Hong asked.

"He belongs to the elder?" Liu Xin muffled.

"He has only been with the elder for a few days?" Bin Hong asked patiently, "Who did he belong to?"

"Liu Jun!" After Liu Xin finished speaking, his expression sank. He and Liu Jun had always been extremely at odds, and seeing Liu Junfei's prosperity later, his heart was even more sour.

"That's right." Bin Hong said in a deep voice: "The one surnamed Hei is Liu Jun'an's eyeliner at the helm. If he gets power, Liu Jun will be a big deal!" He glanced at Liu Dao: " With Liu Jun's character, will he be instructed to run on you?"

"Hmm..." Liu Xin was indeed persuaded by Bin Hong, and equated Wang Xian and Liu Jun.When I think of Wang Xian becoming a great military adviser, I feel that my future is gloomy.Seeking help, he looked at Bin Hong and said, "Military Master, you can't just ignore death!"

"Isn't this just to save you?" Seeing that Liu Xin had already taken the trap, Bin Hong was extremely happy, and said with a smile, "Brother, what do you think of your position in the elder's heart?"

"It should be, it's not bad, it's okay..." Liu Xin was not sure.

"Don't underestimate yourself, it's more than possible? It's definitely the number one leader in the hearts of the elders!" Bin Hong said with a smile: "This status is not obtained overnight, and naturally it cannot be destroyed once and for all..."

"Military Master, you want me to..." Liu Xin understood a little bit, and stared at Binhong with wide eyes.

"Hey, how can I cheat my brother?" Bin Hong shook his head, and said lightly: "I'm not letting you lose, I just let you delay, and if you drag it to my side, it won't be too late for you to win." He smiled and said: "At that time, you will win a big victory, but it is a little late. Even if the elders don't reward you, they will definitely not punish you."

"As for the one surnamed Hei, he lost to the military adviser, and he has to stand aside obediently from now on!" Liu Xin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and clapped his hands: "A wonderful! A wonderful plan!"

"Then it's settled?" Bin Hong picked up his glass and stared at Liu Xin.

"That's it!" Liu Xin picked up the wine bowl and touched Bin Hong, the two drank it down in one gulp and laughed loudly.

.

Wang Xian had actually heard about Bin Hong's little tricks.Dai Hua didn't do anything these days, just stared at this guy, and came back immediately to report, saying that Bin Hong went to Liu Xin's place, and the two talked secretly for a long time, which might be harmful to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian listened, but he didn't care, and continued to study on the map of Linzi.

"Sir, you can't be careless! They are all in the same group, be careful to trick us!" Dai Hua became more and more anxious.

Wang Xian smiled and said nothing, Deng Xiaoxian, who was stretching his muscles and bones beside him, smiled and said: "The emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs, the adults have their own plans, just watch."

"Yeah, I'm just worrying about it." Dai Hua rolled his eyes depressedly, and stopped rambling.

The next day, Wang Xian, Liu Xin, Bin Hong, and Ding Gugang bid farewell to Elder Tang, and then divided into two groups, each leading 5000 troops, to Linzi and Zichuan.

The destination of Wang Xian and Liu Xin is Linzi, Linzi is adjacent to Qingzhou, and the distance is only a few tens of miles.In fact, Zichuan and Qingzhou are only a few tens of miles away. This can also intuitively reflect that the current situation of the Qingzhou Army seems to be full of flowers and rich in land and people, but in fact, Qingzhou, the old nest, is always under the threat of the official army and the Hanwang army. The foundation is far from stable.

It's not that Elder Tang never thought of moving his base camp to the east, away from the threat of enemies on both sides, but firstly, Qingzhou is his lair, how can he abandon it easily, and secondly, since the White Lotus Sect raised its troops, it has been making great strides, so Elder Tang will naturally not take the initiative to show weakness.Therefore, the most ideal plan before the Qingzhou Army is to go west to Zichuan and take Linzi to the north, and push the front line outward!

Therefore, Elder Tang sent Wang Xian and Bin Hong to split up their troops, not only to let them fight it out, but more importantly, to use their desire to win to gain a strategic buffer for the base camp and a springboard for the further unification of Shandong!
In fact, this was already planned when Wang Xian and Elder Tang had a secret talk!So it seems to be a contest between two military advisers, but Elder Tang has already started to implement Wang Xian's plan...
