Chapter 372 Going to the field?

Chapter 380 Going to the field?
Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, and said calmly, "From the assistant minister of the Eastern Palace, to the general of the capital's Habayashi Wei, to the Jiufan Longshuo, and even today to lead the army to suppress the rebellion and defend Tongguan, Zhang has come step by step over the years, Whether it is merit or demerit is up to future generations to judge, but if you ask yourself, the world is ashamed of the world and the earth!"

"Whether Zhang is an official or doing something, he can live up to his own conscience. Whatever Zhang does, he focuses on the country and the people, that is, a strong country benefits the people. Without a strong country, the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment, and if the people cannot To get benefits, the so-called prosperity of the Heavenly Dynasty is just a lie!"

Zhang Xuan's voice was generous and powerful, and a mocking smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

"This is Zhang's goal. In order to achieve this goal, Zhang is willing to devote himself to death, and he is more willing to go forward despite hardships...because the process may be complicated, but there is only one goal."

"Recently, An Lushan sent a secret letter to Zhang Mou, urging Zhang Mou to raise troops, so-called changing the dynasty and dividing the world equally!" When Zhang Xuan said this, his voice became cold and deep, and his eyes gleamed coldly.

The generals became short of breath when they heard this, and Li Yu, Li Tan and Huo Changqing's expressions changed even more.

Zhang Xuan didn't beat around the bush, but directly pointed out An Lushan's "invitation". At this moment when the morale of the army is unstable and the situation is sensitive, it is naturally of extraordinary significance for him to say such words.

"The commander-in-chief wants to rebel? Forget it, this kind of incompetent and foolish emperor, this kind of lawless court, if you rebel, you will rebel!" Feng Changqing's heart jumped, but his blood surged immediately, and he stared at Zhang with a flushed face. Xuan, waiting for Zhang Xuan to pierce the last layer of window paper.

Guo Ziyi's face turned serious, and he sat there silently, thinking.

As for Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, Zhang Xuan's absolute confidantes, their spirits were lifted by hearing the words, and they were eager to try.

Li Heng's disrespect for the heroes caused the soldiers of the Longshuo army to feel chilled. Recently, there was a growing voice in the army to support Zhang Xuan as emperor, among which Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun secretly contributed to the flames.

Li Siye, a Modao general from Anxi, had not been serving under Zhang Xuan for a long time, but in Li Siye's position, if Zhang Xuan really wanted to rebel against Li Heng, even though Li Siye was a little reluctant in his heart, there was nothing he could do.If he jumped out to object, he would definitely be executed by Zhang Xuan's confidant General Zuo ruthlessly.

Even Zhang Xuan didn't need to order it himself.

Li Siye knew very well that Zhang Xuan had supreme authority and influence in this army.However, the An Lushan rebellion was ahead, and the troubled times were at the forefront, and the influence of the imperial power in the army had been reduced to a minimum.

Pugu Huai'en's thoughts flashed, and he was slightly looking forward to it.

With Zhang Xuan's strength, strategy and means, judging from the current situation, it is not impossible for him to raise troops to divide the world with Anlu Mountain, or even destroy Anlu Mountain and then destroy the Li Tang Dynasty to replace him.If Zhang Xuan is supported, he will be the founding minister of the country in the future.

This is the true state of mind of Pugu Wynn.

For some people, loyalty is based on interests.

Pugu Huai'en is like this, and so is Li Guangbi.

Moreover, in the eyes of Pugu Huai'en, almost all of this army of more than [-] is in the hands of Zhang Xuan.Zhang Xuan is the son-in-law of Huihe, and there is no doubt that Huihe will support him with all the strength of the whole country.And Feng Changqing has always been Zhang Xuan's confidant, Guo Ziyi has followed Zhang Xuan for a long time, Zhang Xuan has a great kindness to him, let alone Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, the confidant of the confidant.

On the other hand, Zhang Xuan was also the son-in-law of the Cui family, a powerful family, and the spokesperson of several high-ranking families. If Zhang Xuan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, he would probably get the support of Shilin soon.

No matter which aspect you look at, the possibility of Zhang Xuan replacing Tang is very high.

Zhang Xuan sat there quietly, hearing the slightly rapid breathing of the generals, he was silent for a moment, but suddenly smiled.The smile is so elegant and calm.

"Who is An Lushan? A hu'er, a thief who brings disaster to the country! Zhang is a good man who stands up to the sky, a mighty and unyielding man, how can he join forces with this idiot?!"

Zhang Xuan stood up slowly, "Therefore, Zhang has written back to Anlu Mountain. The army of justice and the soldiers of rebellion can't stand side by side. How can Zhang dance with thieves!"

"The people are the most important, the country is the most important, and the world's plans are the most important. What is personal honor and disgrace?! Therefore, today, the commander-in-chief announced to the soldiers of the three armies that Zhang Xuan will never disrupt the world and split the country. Do it! From today onwards, if someone disturbs our army's morale and tries to fish in troubled waters, this commander will kill him without mercy!"

Zhang Xuan's words were impassioned, Feng Changqing and the others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but Li Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yu immediately got up and clasped his fists and said in a loud voice, "The commander-in-chief is Gao Fengliang with a broad mind, Xiao Wang admires him so much!"

Feng Changqing and the others had no choice but to stand up and clap their fists and salute loudly, "The commander is wise!"

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, waved his hands and said, "You don't need to be like this. I am honest with you today, just to tell you that Zhang Xuan's heart is always one with all people, and always puts the national interest first-the current enemy is in front of us. Let's fight the enemy together with one mind, if the morale of the army is disordered at this moment, it will still be a disaster for the family, the country and the world!"

When Zhang Xuan said this, he coughed violently as if he was emotionally excited.

He rubbed his chest and sighed, "Of course, although this commander has the heart to serve the country with every fist, he is seriously ill at the moment, with more energy than energy. Therefore, this commander has already asked His Majesty to resign and return to Beijing to recuperate. Choose talented people to be commanders and fight against the rebels."

Zhang Xuan expressed his "determination" and "confidence" for a long time, and suddenly proposed "resign from office and retire". This kind of sharp contrast and jump made everyone unable to react in time.

This is equivalent to saying that Zhang will never follow An Lushan's rebellion, and will never put the people of the world in the chaos of war for personal ambitions, but determination belongs to determination, and demeanor belongs to demeanor. At this moment, Zhang is disheartened In addition, you are sick, and you are not going to give your life to the emperor—you are the pick.

Feng Changqing, Guo Ziyi and the others were very surprised. They looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise, unable to utter a word.

But Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun stared anxiously at Zhang Xuan. If not everyone was there, they would have stood up and remonstrated face to face—wouldn't it be in the emperor's favor to resign and retire?If you lose your power because of this, in the future...

Prince Gele of Huihe has been sitting on the sidelines silently watching.It wasn't until Zhang Xuan proposed "resigning from office to recuperate his illness" that he was suddenly shocked and hesitated to speak.

At this moment, probably only Jianning Wang Li Tan guessed that Zhang Xuan was just pretending, how could he really retreat?Based on Li Tan's understanding of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan is not such an impulsive person.In everything he does, he plans before moving, thinks of a way out, and takes a long-term view.Li Tan did not believe anyway that Zhang Xuan would give up his military power and take the initiative to go to the field when Li Heng showed signs of killing heroes.

While Li Yu and Huo Changqing were shocked, they were secretly delighted.Regardless of whether Zhang Xuan was pretending or not, as long as Zhang Xuan really went to the court and offered to resign and retire, the emperor could easily seize Zhang Xuan's military power.

"Zhang's memorandum has been sent out three days ago. Before the court appoints a new commander, Mr. Feng will take the temporary position of commander. When the new commander arrives in Tongguan, Zhang will leave Tongguan and return to Chang'an to recuperate."

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, as if he let out a sigh of relief.

Feng Changqing, Guo Ziyi and the others looked at each other, stood up and bowed down together, "You can't do it, Commander! The commander is in good health, and he will recover from minor ailments in a few days, so why worry about it?... The soldiers of the three armies cannot do without the command of the commander. The Lushan rebels are currently at the moment, if the commander-in-chief resigns and retires, the consequences will be unimaginable! Please think twice, the commander-in-chief, take it back!"

"Please rise, everyone. Zhang has made up his mind, so you don't need to persuade me any more." Zhang Xuan slowly got up and gave a vain support, "With all the generals here, Zhang believes that the rebel army will undoubtedly be defeated. Zhang and you have been together for several years. Get along with each other with sincerity, and in the future when you succeed in suppressing the rebellion, Zhang will hold a banquet in Chang'an to celebrate the achievements of the generals!"

Zhang Xuan's words were very sincere, Feng Changqing and others felt sorry for them, and once again shouted together, "Commander, think twice! Please take back your life, Commander!"

Zhang Xuan sighed, "You don't need to be like this. Zhang is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and who doesn't know the current affairs. Now that Zhang has retired, he may be able to save the lives of his family in the future. If he still holds the military power by himself, in the future..."

After Zhang Xuan said this, he stopped talking.

The generals were silent, with complex expressions.

Who could not understand what Zhang Xuan meant?In fact, it was basically such a situation. Li Heng couldn't wait to attack Zhang Xuan at this moment. If the An Lushan rebellion subsided, how could Zhang Xuan have a good life?
Unless Zhang Xuan raises his troops to rebel and establish himself as emperor.But Zhang Xuan stated that he had no different intentions.

Lei Wanchun was so excited that he got up and knelt down in front of Zhang Xuan, and said in a rough voice, "Longshuo's army cannot be formed without a commander. If there is no commander, how can our soldiers go to battle! Please, commander Take it back, if someone dares to harm the commander in chief, the soldiers of the three armies will never agree!"

"The commander-in-chief has made great achievements in the court many times. Without the commander-in-chief, Longshuo would have fallen into the hands of Tubo long ago, and the Anlu Mountain rebellion was at the head of the rebellion. If the commander-in-chief had not led the army to serve the king, Chang'an would have fallen into the hands of the rebels at this moment. , The destruction of the country is just around the corner! But the imperial court treats the commander-in-chief in this way, forcing him to resign and retire, how can we convince our soldiers? How can we convince the people of the world?" Nan Jiyun also came out and bowed to the ground.

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment, then got up and bowed down and shouted loudly, "The commander-in-chief can't be arrogant! The rebel army is currently facing, without the commander-in-chief planning a strategy, our army will not be able to win. I also ask the commander-in-chief to put the overall situation first and take it back!"

Feng Changqing sighed, clasped his fists and said resolutely, "If the Commander-in-Chief retires, Feng is also willing to go with the Commander-in-Chief!"

All the generals knelt down on the ground.

Li Tan clasped his fists solemnly and said, "The commander-in-chief once taught Xiao Wang that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and those who are human beings should advance bravely and not retreat! But now that the enemy is in front of him, the commander-in-chief will retreat when he encounters a slight setback." I mean, it's chilling."
