Eight of the positions of the ten battalion commanders have been decided, and everyone knows this.
There are only two positions left, and only Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, and Lei Zhanqian can compete with him, Gao Zhe. As for the talented people outside Qi State, they are not within the scope of his consideration at all.
This sudden war seemed vigorous, but in essence, it was just a collision between the younger generations of Qi State and Jing State. Both parties need to test the quality of the other, but are unwilling to intensify the intensity.
If the hegemonic country fights with all its strength, countries like Xiang and Xu will probably be reduced to rubble.
Therefore, from the perspective of Xiang and Xu, they would rather act out this battle themselves, at least there would be compensation from the overlord after the war.
Between two evils, you have to choose.
That's why the current situation has arisen. The young geniuses from Qi Jing and the two countries are going to the Xingyue Plain. It can be called a competition among the stars.
Therefore, Yu Que, the commander-in-chief of the Dou'e Army, only watched the spectacle at Wanhe Temple but did not come to the Xingyue Plains battlefield. This is a reflection of this attitude. In fact, it is to exert power over the world, not to exert power over Qi.
On the Xingyue Plain, all the countries except Qi Jing are just playing side roles.
With Bao Bozhao and other eight people firmly seated on the Diaoyutai, Gao Zhe thought that by being the first to speak, he might be able to gain face and secure a spot.
After all, Gao Zhe is one of the few famous sons who has established his position as heir, and his social circle is very important. Yan Fu, Jiang Wang, Chong Xuansheng, Li Longchuan... they all often go there to drink and have fun. Although there were some minor conflicts yesterday, they did not affect the overall situation. The Gao family and the Chongxuan family have interests involved, and Gao Zhe is also of great investment value!
But as soon as Gao Zhe finished speaking, Lei Zhanqian, who was sitting diagonally across from him, immediately raised his eyes and looked at him.
The man sits like a tiger.
Those eyes were like an angry sea.
"Written or martial arts, you choose." Lei Zhan said.
Gao Zhe:......
Are you fucking sick? ?
There are still two spots left. As soon as I opened my mouth, you came up and started to compete with me?
I talked about my advantages, and you can also talk about yours. Can't we discuss it together?
Why don't you take a look at who is vying for the next spot and pick the softest persimmon and then pinch it?
This is unreasonable, it’s too much to deceive others!
But under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to show weakness when he comes up, otherwise "contributing to Daqi" will become a joke.
So he sneered and said: "So what about literary competition? What about military competition?"
In fact, after hearing Gao Zhe's speech, Wen Lianmu originally wanted to say - "I'm not sleepy when it comes to the art of war." But seeing Lei Zhanqian's opening being so explosive, he held it back first.
Hearing Gao Zhe's harsh words at this time, he became more energetic and pricked up his ears happily.
Gao Zhe's biggest problem is that he can't figure it out. In this regard, he is exactly the same as the deposed Gao Qing. In the entire Jinghai Gao family, perhaps the most outstanding figure of the younger generation is Gao Jing, but unfortunately he has been trapped in the secret realm of Tianfu.
And Gao Jing also has the same problem - this is probably the problem of the entire Jinghai Gao family - they regard Emperor Qi's love for Concubine Jing as the source of authority that the Jinghai Gao family will not weaken, so they actually regard themselves as the top aristocratic family in Da Qi .
Last time they were able to get two places in the Tianfu Secret Realm, and Gao Shaoling could easily secure the position of Red Tail Governor... These things gave them the illusion.
But this foundation is extremely unstable.
A person like Jiang Wuqi, who is of the same flesh and blood and resembles a king and father, will fall out of favor one day. Can Concubine Jing really be favored forever?
Not to mention a fatal weakness - Concubine Jing has no children.
Gao Zhe's value is not as great as he imagined.
Yan Fu, Li Longchuan, and the others have been taking him to play because he could handle it fairly well before, not because of how great his Gao family is.
Even a foreigner like Lin Xian could see the rift between him and people like Zhong Xuansheng at a glance, but he himself only thought it was a trivial matter.
Of course there are many people in the world who are willing to give Jinghai Gao family face, but unfortunately there are not many in this military tent right now.
Lei Zhanqian didn't slap him in the face, but Wen Lianmu also got involved.
Don’t you see that even Tian Chang is there eager to try?
And for people like Lei Zhanqian, since he raised his hand, he would not hold back his slap, and he said without thinking: "Wen Jie is the two of us fighting against each other. Wu Jie is the two of us leading the army to fight. Life and death are determined by fate, and we don't blame each other. . Just choose one, I can do it!"
Speaking of which, he, Lei Zhanqian, was originally qualified to secure a position as chief general. Although the Lei family is not a top-notch family, he is the cousin of Jiang Wuqi, the master of the Changsheng Palace.
You can succeed without giving up, and you can lose without giving up. He and Jiang Wuqi were destined to be both prosperous and devastated.
The ups and downs of Cui Zhu's assassination case seemed to have ended that morning in front of Ziji Palace.
But the ripples caused by this have never stopped in Qi State.
At least for the Changsheng Palace, this is the case...
Compared with Changle Palace, Huaying Palace, and Yangxin Palace, the influence of Changsheng Palace has obviously plummeted.
Although the emperor had forgiven Jiang Wuqi, he was no longer as affectionate with the eleventh prince as before.
In the past, he was summoned to the palace to accompany him to the palace every once in a while, but since Cui Zhu's case, it has never happened again.
As a result, Lei Zhanqian still needs to fight for it on the Xingyue Plain.
only……
What a shame it would be for Lei Zhanqian to compete with upstarts like Gao Zhe for a spot!
So he opened his mouth and said that life and death were fateful, and he didn't spare any face for Gao Zhe.
Gao Zhe:......
Fuck your mother. Where is the word "文" in this choice between Wen Jia and Wu Jia? Besides fighting hard, work hard!
But how dare he fight against Lei Zhanqian?
Although Jiang Wang beat Lei Zhanqian like a child, he was also qualified to fight for the chance to go to Guanhetai!
Gao Zhe was so embarrassed that his face started to ache, but fortunately he had been embarrassed once yesterday and he was no longer unfamiliar with this feeling.
He resisted and tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said reluctantly: "It's a joke to say that civil servants are better than martial arts and have no complaints about life and death. There are still two general positions, and we can take one each. There is no need to make a lose-lose situation, and the facial hair will not look good. .”
Speaking of which, he was already giving in and could only hold on to a layer of skin.
Apart from being ridiculous, it is actually a bit pitiful.
But he simply divided the positions. How could Wen Lianmu and Tian Chang agree?
"I don't know if Brother Lei can get a position." Tian Chang said in a calm tone: "But Brother Gao, you have completely excluded me, which is still open to question. Otherwise... if you are more civilized than military, you Choose one with me too?"
This low-key and even dull person occasionally showed his fangs, but his look turned out to be cold and cold!
Wen Lianmu smiled and said: "If we lead the army to hedge, I don't mind facing anyone."
No one is willing to give in!
Gao Zhe quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and said decisively: "Since Brother Tian said so, I will compete with you for a quota. Brother Lei and Brother Wen compete for a quota. Everyone is working for Daqi, and the outcome is irrelevant. Resentment!"
He wasn't a complete idiot, he was quite clever, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of pulling Jiang Wanghu's skin to press Lin Xian.
This statement seems fair, but in fact it changes the format of four people competing for two spots into the format of two people competing for one spot.
He thought that his cultivation was not as good as that of Lei Zhanqian, and his leadership was not as good as that of Wen Lianmu. If four people competed with each other, he would most likely gain nothing.
But the two fights are different, because the "persimmon" who seems to be the best among the four has been naturally classified into a group by him.
This was the most beneficial option he could think of in a short period of time.
Lei Zhanqian didn't express his position because he didn't care who he faced. Wen Lianmu didn't say anything. When it came to leading the army into battle, he was arrogant and thought that he would not lose against Lei Zhanqian.
Tian Chang was even more silent. Gao Zhe was treating him as a weakling, and he couldn't be more satisfied.
But Zhong Xuan Sheng's voice sounded at exactly this moment: "No, you actually only have one general position left."
Gao Zhe looked over in shock and anger.
Chong Xuansheng did not look at him. He leaned on a special large chair and looked around. Shi Shiran said: "I believe everyone already knows about Jiang Wang. I originally advised him to practice with peace of mind. But now that the whole world knows it, we should come to Xingyue Plain to return a gift to the people of Jingguo..."
"I have sent someone to invite him. He should be here within two days."
Having said this, he smiled and said: "The number one inner palace in Qing Dynasty came to occupy a battalion. I guess there won't be any objections, right?"
"Of course not!" Someone immediately responded: "With Jiang Wang here, who is Xu San? What about Wang Kun? What is Pei Hongjiu afraid of?"
The person who spoke was Lin Jie, the genius of the Yi Kingdom.
Zhong Xuansheng glanced at him, surprised that he praised him so accurately.
Yi State is a small country in the south of Chang State, not far from Tianxing Cliff, and is deeply influenced by Legalism. People in this country respect upright and upright qualities and generally have a true spirit.
The names mentioned by Lin Jie are all famous talents in the inner realm of Jingguo.
It's not arrogant to say that he is arrogant. After all, Jiang Wang has achieved the reputation of being the number one inner palace in ancient and modern times. In the inner palace, there is really no need to be modest.
If Lin Jie mentioned a prodigy from the Outer Building Realm like Jing Guo Chen Shuan, he would be a bit suspected of flattering him. Now, he grasps this kind of scale very delicately... He is a talent.
Chong Xuan Sheng was in the mood to comment on characters here, but Gao Zhe was ruined by one sentence.
Looking at Zhong Xuan Sheng, he forced a smile and said: "A Sheng, stop joking. No one from Jiang Wang is here."
Chong Xuan Sheng looked at him with a smile: "I never joke with people I don't know well."
As soon as these words came out, the position was clear and the boundaries were clear. From now on, Gao Zhe would no longer play with him.
Gao Zhe was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment.
"Although Jiang Wang has a great reputation, it is not appropriate to occupy the main force of a battalion without anyone present, right? This is a battlefield, not a place for trifling. We are here to decide life and death, to decide the outcome, not to draw a sandbox and fall into the trap. Chess piece. He wants to take a seat... Don't you know if you can come earlier?" A voice suddenly said from the seats in the back.
"Who is this person?" Chong Xuansheng asked the people around him.
"Zhao Guo Gu Yan!" The young man with a stubborn expression said loudly.
He stared hard at Zhong Xuan Sheng, refusing to show any signs of weakness.
Among the countries in the Eastern Region, if one were to rank the small countries that admired Qi the most, Zhao would definitely be at the top of the list. Compared with the Yang State back then, it was even closer to the Qi State. Regardless of those in power, the vast majority of the people of Zhao State are eager to merge with Qi State.
Unexpectedly, in such a country, there can be a person with a temper who dares to question the famous genius from Qi.
Li Longchuan stood up directly, walked to this person, raised his chin: "Go out, let's talk."
Too straightforward, too imposing.
Gu Yan was obviously stunned for a moment and couldn't help turning his head to look at Mrs. Xidu.
Mrs. Xidu, who had the highest cultivation level and the highest nominal status in the tent, just sat quietly next to the commander's seat, indifferent to this.
Obviously she is very conscious and knows who is fighting this war.
And those who are not awake should wake up after seeing her attitude.
Gu Yan's face turned blue and white, but he finally gritted his teeth, got up and walked outside the military tent.
"Then I'll chat with you!" he said fiercely.
The two of them left the military tent one after the other.
No one in the account commented on this.
It has to be said that Gu Yan's question has no problem in theory.
But the essence of this matter is to question the dominance of Qi's genius on this battlefield.
Therefore, Li Longchuan did not reason with him at all, but directly used his power to force him out of the tent. It is to point directly at the bull's-eye and break through the enemy's power.
Gu Yan either wants to fight for rights for a small country, or he wants to take credit for himself...
Li Longchuan was too lazy to care. As the son of the Li family of Shimen, he has the right not to care.
The position of the Tenth Battalion released by Fang You is definitely more important than its current value. Otherwise, Chong Xuan Sheng would not have to open his mouth to fight for Jiang Wang.
It goes without saying that Jiang Wang, who has become the number one imperial palace in ancient and modern times, has a bright future. When I return to Qi, I will not only take everything I ask for, but also be rewarded by the emperor.
Ordinarily, general interests should not be taken too seriously.
But now Gao Zhe, Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu and others are blushing. Lei Zhanqian, who originally didn't seem to be planning to participate in the Xingyue Plains battlefield, hurriedly arrived before tonight...
I think they all received some rumors.
Based on some of the news he heard, Li Longchuan was sure of it, and decisively stepped forward to cooperate without even looking at Zhongxuan Sheng.
In Chong Xuan Sheng's heart... he only had the word "save worry".
As expected of a family of generals, someone who has learned the art of war since childhood. It’s much less worrying than Jiang Wangke!
Chong Xuansheng and Li Longchuan easily controlled the situation here, while Yan Fu watched on without hesitation.
Gao Zhe was trapped in a violent mood and could not break free for a long time.
It is absolutely impossible to compete with Lei Zhanqian, and he is very clear about this. If Jiang Wang also wanted to occupy a general position, then he would not be able to take charge of the camp this time.
He came to the Xingyue Plains battlefield this time just to gild, shine, and make a name for himself.
How can we stop here?
If he just gave up in disgrace, then why would he have to endure this hardship. Isn't it cool enough to be a local emperor in Jinghai County?
He knew that he had done evil to Chong Xuan Sheng by dragging Jiang Wang into a tiger's skin while he was away. But I didn't expect that the other party could be so heartless!
Is this really necessary?
Must he push Gao Zhe to the opposite side?
Isn't the interest relationship between the Gao family and the Chongxuan family not considered?
But Chong Xuan Sheng's side made no sense at all. He could only turn his head and look at Yan Fu: "Brother Yan, Jiang Wang is already the number one in ancient and modern times. He has become a legendary figure and has no shortage of reputations. Even if it comes later. , it can be easily arranged in any camp. We are all friends, is this necessary?"
Yan Fu looked at him deeply, and finally said warmly: "You know Jiang Wang's character. If you open your mouth and enter his camp, you can take the position of deputy general."
There were a lot of hurtful things to say, but Yan Fu finally saved him face.
But Gao Zhe didn't feel relieved at all, only felt ridiculous.
I, the heir to the Jinghai Gao family, can I go to any camp where I can't win the deputy general? Do you still need to ask Jiang Wang?
"Do you have to force me?" He gritted his teeth.
Yan Fu shook his head and laughed, but stopped talking.
Just because he's gentle with others doesn't mean he's afraid of getting into trouble. How could someone who once said that he would cut down any gossip regardless of the person's origin with a sword be afraid of trouble?
Just keep the last bit of kindness and don't care about it.
This is similar to the tolerance adults have for children.
Gao Zhe, who realized this, almost broke his teeth.
What he hates most is that he feels he doesn't get enough respect from this group of people, and now even Yan Fu treats him like this!
But when Chong Xuan Sheng opened his mouth, he didn't know what it meant to be "disrespected".
"You seem to think that if Jiang Wang doesn't occupy this camp, you will have a position." Chong Xuansheng, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, looked coldly at Gao Zhe who was gritting his teeth: "Are you better than Wen Lianmu or Tian Chang? People are more valuable. You know yourself, but I think you don’t seem to know your own weight at all! It won’t be harder for Tian Chang to kill you than to kill a chicken. Do you still think you picked a soft persimmon?”
Tian Chang smiled and said nothing. Although he was surprised by Chong Xuan Sheng's sensitivity, he didn't show it on his face.
And what Zhong Xuansheng said immediately made Gao Zhe angry, and the resentment he had accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded: "What about Jiang Wang!? Does he have three heads and six arms? I ate and drank with him, but I didn't even look at him. What’s so different about him! I don’t know if his legendary record is true!”
"Challenge the legend of Tianfu Old Man? Don't you think it's ridiculous? All evil, flesh-cutting, uncovering, beheading, who is not a strong and evil existence in the outer building realm? But Jiang Wang can fight one against four? Those three human demons Was he really in his prime when he was killed by Jiang Wang? Or was he in his prime after being suppressed by Yu Beidou? From Linzi to overseas, Jiang Wang is used to building momentum, are you also deceiving yourself?"
"Your hostility towards Jiang Wang is really inexplicable and difficult to understand." Yan Fu frowned and said, "Has he ever offended you?"
Gao Zhe was really fed up with the contempt of these people, and he was ready to break the pot and break his face completely. Chong Xuan Sheng and the others didn't show any respect to him. How could he, the heir to a great family, continue to support and coax them?
"You can't justify it, so you say this?" He sneered: "What we want to talk about is not whether he has offended me, but why he won the title of general with just one name when no one is present! He is Who? Is he good enough?!"
"It seems that you have been grudged against Jiang Qingyang for a long time." Zhong Xuansheng said quietly: "When he comes, should I ask him to apologize to you and ask him what made you unhappy?"
"Then let's wait until he comes!" Gao Zhe said coldly.
At this time, behind Wang Yiwu, a voice said: "The four demons, including flesh-cutting, face-uncovering, and beheading, were all in their prime when they besieged Jiang Wang. This is absolutely true."
Everyone followed the sound and looked, but it was Lin Xian, the genius of Rong Kingdom.
Gao Zhe suddenly burst into flames, with the aura of quarreling with other scholars, and laughed: "You know again?"
Facing Lin Xian, he spared no room: "Does he know that you are licking Jiang Qingyang like this here? Will he touch your head and reward you with bones?"
"Of course I can know."
In response to Gao Zhe's insult, Lin Xian remained neither humble nor arrogant. She looked directly at him and said clearly: "Because when the four demons besieged Jiang Wang, I was at the scene and saw it clearly! I, Lin Xian, was practicing swordplay when I was three years old. , a peer of Juerong Country with fifteen crowns, seventeen swords on the river platform, fighting against the heroes of the world. Although I failed to win the title, I don’t think anyone can underestimate me. Gao Zhe, ask yourself, can you take the sword from me today? What are you relying on to humiliate me like this? Rely on the power of Qi? The power of the Gao family in Jinghai? When will you be able to rely on yourself like Jiang Wang and question Jiang Wang's record again!"
"You said..." Mrs. Xidu, who had remained silent, was also a little moved: "When Jiang Wang fought against the four demons alone, were you there?"
"The battlefield was in the Rock Valley of Duanhun Gorge. At that time, I hid in the Xiantian Li Chaos Formation and witnessed that battle with my own eyes!"
Lin Xian said categorically: "The magical power of retribution for all evils, the magical power of cutting off flesh, the magical power of uncovering a human face, and the extremely evil hungry ghost body of a beheaded demon, are all extremely tyrannical. In that battle with Jiang Wang The strength shown here has completely exceeded the limit of my imagination of the inner palace realm. I have never seen such a person in the history books! I, Lin Xian, have always been dissatisfied with others, but for Jiang Qingyang, I am convinced and can only look up to him!"
The whole place was silent.
Even Gao Zhe had to cool down. Being able to weigh yourself carefully as Chong Xuan Sheng said.
Only now do people finally understand why a stoic and tenacious person like Lin Xian can say the words "I am willing to be Jiang Qingyang's lackey".
Putting themselves in his shoes, if they could witness the legend with their own eyes, they would probably be much more enthusiastic than Lin Xian.
"I think I know who Jiang Wang is." Mrs. Xidu said quietly.
This sentence was in response to Gao Zhe's previous question. Of course she had always known who Jiang Wang was, but she still had some doubts about that terrible record. After all, there were a lot of rumors in the world. It was only at this moment that he was confirmed by Lin Xian, and he truly "knew who Jiang Wang was."
"If Jiang Wang is coming..." Tian Chang smiled and said, "He should have a position as a general. I have no objection."
Wen Lianmu shrugged: "In the same realm, who can compare with Jiang Qingyang?"
After saying this, he glanced at Wang Yiwu with his peripheral vision, but Wang Yiwu had no expression on his face.
Lei Zhanqian said: "Then don't waste time. I'm in charge of the remaining battalion. Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, Gao Zhe..."
His eyes swept over them one by one: "If you are not convinced, come together!"
The atmosphere in the military tent suddenly became boiling.
Zhong Xuan Sheng, on the other hand, sat lazily and grinned proudly.
Speaking of which, the two most arrogant people in the tent today were both defeated by Jiang Wang himself. Thinking about it, for them, it is one of the most profound memories in their lives——
The arrogant Wang Yiwu acquiesced that Jiang Wangtong was unmatched in the territory.
It was necessary to use one against three Lei Zhanqian, and tacitly agreed that Jiang Wangren would have to occupy one battalion before he arrived.
