Great Han Empire

Chapter 228
Wang Guo strode to the middle of the big tent, raised his hand and said, "Everyone, gentlemen, Marquis Wen, please sit down first, and listen to me first."

Li Wenhou glared fiercely at the calm Han Sui, and sat down slowly.He thought he could anger Han Sui, but Han Sui just frowned and didn't even look at him.

"The top priority now is to take Yicheng immediately. Whether we attack Sanfu or stick to Xiliang, taking down Yicheng and occupying the entire territory of Hanyang County is the premise, so we can put this dispute aside for the time being and discuss how to attack Yicheng first." , what do you think? Wen Yue..."

Han Sui nodded slightly, and said: "Brother Xingbang is right. We should take Yicheng as soon as possible to avoid accidents and accidents. Leopard is a man who has never been traced when he uses troops. It would be better to drive him out of Xiliang."

Wang Guo smiled and looked at Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and asked pleasantly, "Boyu? Wenhou? What do you think?"

"I don't think it's appropriate." Li Wenhou said, "Our 10,000+ army gathered under the city of Yicheng, and we don't even have an army commander. This is not a joke. Even if we attack the city, there must be a unified dispatch and unified command? Isn't Mr. Bian here? Here, let's beat each other, and beat each other indiscriminately?"

"Mr. Bian has been injured for four or five months, and his health is getting worse and worse. He has long stopped asking about important military and political matters. Everyone knows that." He glanced around everyone and said loudly, "Today, the army is gathering at the city, and we can't do without command." , so I think we should elect a marshal who is temporarily in charge of commanding the entire army."

Wang Guo smiled and said: "What did Marquis Wen say? Why don't we have a command? Isn't Wen Yue the command of our army?"

Li Wenhou glanced at him coldly, thinking that you want to be the commander in chief and let Ma Teng test our tone, you think we are idiots.He stood up again and said loudly, "Boyu was the first warrior to raise troops in Xiliang, the first hero to hold high the banner of beheading traitors and corrupt officials, and the first commander of the Xiliang army."

Li Wenhou looked at Guo Guo unceremoniously and said: "Boyu is now the deputy commander of the Xiliang army. I don't understand Mr. Wang's words. Why do you say that Mr. Han is our commander? Did Mr. Bian tell you or Mr. Han himself told you?"

Many generals in the big tent nodded repeatedly. Beigong Boyu is the deputy commander of the Xiliang army, and his reputation is far and wide. Of course, he is more suitable to be the commander of the army than Han Sui.Bian Zhang and Han Sui were forced out by Beigong Boyu with a knife on their necks.And Han Sui is even more cautious, he has been hiding behind Bian Zhang, even now, he is talking and doing things as Bian Zhang's subordinate, and he does not seem to be eye-catching.

Thunder in June, Xibei Yu and a group of Qiang people also felt that Beigong Boyu should take the position of the commander-in-chief for granted.What's more, this seat was originally his, and he gave it to Bian Zhang himself.

Yang Qiu looked at Han Sui with a smile on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that Li Wenhou was right. With Bian Zhang already unable to command the army, Beigong Boyu was the last to command the army. He is qualified to be the handsome man.He wanted to support Han Sui, but he couldn't find a convincing reason.

Wang Guo's face was a little ugly.

He, Wu Du, Ma Teng and the others all think too highly of themselves, and in their bones look down on generals with low backgrounds like Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou.He thought that he, Lao Bian, and Han Sui were all outstanding in terms of background, fame, and knowledge, and there were few people in Xiliang who could compare with them, and they were the only ones who were qualified to be the commander of the Xiliang army.In fact, this is not the case. In the army, who is the commander-in-chief does not depend on prestige and knowledge, but on strength, who has a strong fist, who has the most troops, and who has the most supporters.This is not a regular imperial army, but an army composed of a group of rebels.

The difference in thinking between the high-ranking gentry and the common people living at the lowest level is worlds apart.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou brought five thousand Huang Zhongyi to Longxi this time, joined up with June Jinglei and other Qiang and Hu cavalry, and joined Ma Teng's army to surround Geng Bi in Wuxiju.After the [-] army defected, except Wudu and Ma Teng who took away [-] Han soldiers, the remaining [-] Qiang soldiers returned to Beigong Bo under the leadership of Nie Xiao and several tribal leaders. Jade flag.He has an army of [-], so of course his back is straight and his courage is strong.He is now the strongest army in Xiliang's army.

Ma Teng was very dissatisfied when he saw that Li Wenhou didn't give Wang Guo face very much, embarrassing Wang Guo in public.He hurriedly stood up, and while pulling Wang Guo into the table again, he said: "Sir and we have just joined Mr. Bian's army. There are many things we don't understand, so let them fight." Then he raised his head and shouted to Li Wenhou, "Stone The general is the commander-in-chief, do you have any opinions?"

Suddenly there were voices of agreement in the big tent, and Nie Xiao and several of Beigong Boyu's subordinates shouted repeatedly to express their support.

June Thunder spoke.June Jinglei is in his 40s, not tall, with an ordinary appearance, dark skin, square face and short beard, strong and strong.He is not very talkative, always has a smile on his face, and looks like a very gentle and open-minded person.But such an ordinary person has been the nightmare of Xiliang people for decades, a nightmare that will never go away in the hearts of Xiliang people.June Jinglei is bloodthirsty and plundering. Since he was able to mount a horse and fight until now, he has invaded the border almost every year and never tires of it.He is unrestrained, forthright, righteous and loves to make friends, no matter the enemy or us, he is willing to make friends.There are many people from Xiliang who talked with him. Although they have different goals, they all have one thing in common, that is, they hope that he will reduce the invasion, and everyone will live in harmony and live a peaceful life.After Beigong Boyu rebelled, he was the first to lend a helping hand.Everyone is Qiang, and Beigong Boyu certainly hopes that June Jinglei can give him strong support.

"Brother Boyu is the coach, so what's the point of arguing about it?" June said with a thunderous laugh, "What did Mr. Han say?"

Jinglei in June publicly supported Beigong Boyu, which meant that at least half of Xiliang's powerful army was supporting General Shitou, so there was nothing to say.

Han Sui cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I would like to listen to the general's command."

"Where's Mr. Wang?" June Jinglei turned to look at Wang Guo.

Wang Guo felt that he was really useless.He originally planned to promote Han Sui to anger Beigong Boyu, but he didn't expect that cunning Li Wenhou would not sell his account at all.Fortunately, Ma Teng was clever, and he took advantage of the wind to steer the rudder, and immediately elected Beigong Boyu to anger Han Sui.Anyway, the effect is about the same, as long as the two people are at odds with each other and the conflict is getting bigger and bigger, it is better to let them kill each other.

"I agree too." Wang Guo quickly recovered from the embarrassment, and he replied very calmly.

"Then let's talk about how to attack the city." June Jinglei said with a smile, "Everyone says something useful, so stop talking nonsense."

"Don't attack the city yet." Suddenly someone shouted loudly in the big tent.Everyone was taken aback, and followed the prestige.

Kuang Fengsha, the leader of Xianling Qiang tribe, slowly stood up from the table.Kuang Fengsha is in his 40s, with a broad body and round waist, and a long bearded face, probably because he has lived in the desert all year round. His face is dark and red, and he looks very healthy.Kuangfengsha looks like an honest herdsman, simple and honest, persistent, stubborn, and loyal.He is one of the leaders of the Xianling Qiang tribe in Beidi County. This tribe lives in the Yellow River and the desert and belongs to the Qianghu. Because they are too poor and they are humiliated and oppressed by the government, they always rebel.

"Master Fu is a native of Lingzhou in Beidi County. When he was working in his hometown and the county government in the early years, he took great care of the Qiang tribe living in the Yellow River area. Later, he served as a captain in Anding County, and it is still the same. Let us first zero The Qiang people are grateful for his kindness, so far they have nothing to repay. Today I led my troops to attack Yicheng and Mr. Fu with the army. This is revenge. When I return to Lingzhou in the future, what face do I have to go to see the elders in my hometown?"

Kuang Fengsha walked to the middle of the big tent, knelt down on the ground, and said earnestly: "Everyone here knows what Mr. Fu is like, and some of them are his close friends. Mr. Fu is a good man and an upright official. In this world, there is no one like him. There are very few such people now. I, Kuang Fengsha, have no knowledge and know how to be a man, but I know that I want to repay my kindness, so I implore the commander-in-chief and all of you here to let Mr. Fu live and let him go home . Can you agree?"

June Jinglei slapped the table and praised: "Good guy."

Beigong Boyu had just returned to power, and he was in a very good mood. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go and persuade him. Fu Xie is gone. Is this Yicheng still worth fighting? It will be destroyed immediately. If You can persuade Mr. Fu to leave, I thank you very much."

Kuangsha was overjoyed.

Wang Guo and Han Sui glanced at each other, a look of shame flashed across their faces.In the past, they had always had a close relationship with Fu Xie, but neither of them thought of persuading him.Now that it is brought up by an outsider, I feel a little embarrassed.In fact, in their hearts, they all thought that Fu Xie was an upright, loyal and brave man, and it was impossible to persuade him to surrender or give up Yicheng.

Han Sui felt a crisis, a strong crisis.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, Wang Guo and Ma Teng, what they said and did today made Han Sui feel very sad.While Xiliang has not yet been stably occupied, there has been a struggle for power and profit.Could it be that in their eyes, he is such a power-hungry, selfish person?How capable Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were, he knew that if the Xiliang army was handed over to them, it would not be long before problems would arise.This spring, their [-] army was ambushed and wiped out by leopards in Linghe, which is a clear example.But what reason do I have to occupy the position of coach?Didn't he also be caught off guard by the leopard when he won a big victory, and fled in embarrassment?

Han Sui and Yang Qiu returned to the camp, summoned Li Kan, Liang Xing and other generals to discuss for a long time.Yang Qiu and the others were very angry at Beigong Boyu's actions.From their point of view, Bian Zhang was dead, and of course Han Sui would inherit the position of commander-in-chief, and Han Sui would continue to command the Xiliang army.

"After Shitou and Marquis Wen were released, they have always respected their husband and basically obeyed. We have only been separated for more than ten days this time. It is really incomprehensible that the two of them suddenly changed their minds. I think that the kingdom, Do you want to be the commander-in-chief yourself, and deliberately provoke the conflict between Mr. Shi and Shitou, so that we can kill each other, so that he can profit from it?" Li Kan said.

Han Sui waved it away and said, "Don't guess. We were able to make a comeback this time. Brother Xingbang and Shoucheng helped a lot. Brother Xingbang is better than me in both literary and martial arts. If Lao Bian dies, the chief He's got the spot. I'm not going to fight him. He should know what I mean and won't do that."

"Bo Yu and Marquis Wen have objections to me, mainly because Lao Bian and I agreed to the court's appeasement. The two think that Lao Bian and I have betrayed them, so they have always been bitter about it. They want to regain power, mainly because they are worried about this. This kind of thing happened again. Boyu and Marquis Wen didn't understand what I did, and I didn't bother to explain it, so let them misunderstand."

"I didn't intend to be such a handsome man, let them fight."

"Sir, how many people believe in this idea?" Liang Xing asked suddenly.

Han Sui was speechless, suddenly feeling uneasy.He thought of Bian Zhang who was far away in Yunwu City.If someone is determined to take the position of commander-in-chief, this is the best time to solve the problem, and it is also the way to kill Han Sui when the battle in Xiliang is already certain and Jincheng County is empty.

Han Sui ordered someone to call his son-in-law Yan Xing.Yan Xing, handsome in appearance, learned martial arts from Fan Zhi.This is his first expedition with the army.

Han Sui ordered him to bring 1000 people back to Yunwu immediately to protect Bian Zhang.

"There must be no accident."

After the kingdom sent off the last batch of generals, they all stepped into the side tent with Ma Teng and Wu.

"I didn't expect June Jinglei to speak at a critical moment. It was really unexpected to let Beigong Boyu take the position of commander-in-chief today." Wu Du shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Han Sui took the initiative to let the virtuous, and it is very impressive. People are surprised. Does he have no intention of being the commander-in-chief of the army?"

Ma Teng shook his head and said: "Mr. Wen Yue has a deep plan, and it is difficult for us to guess his real intention. We originally hoped to anger Bei Gong Boyu by supporting Mr. Wen Yue, and let Bei Gong Boyu deal with him, but now Bei Gong Gong Boyu is in a good mood now that he has become a commander-in-chief, and he won't deal with Mr. Wen Yue for the time being."

Wang Guo smiled and said, "Master Huang has arrived, let's hear what he has to say?"
