"Actually, it's very simple. Wang Shuai, a smart person like you can't have thought of this. Today's world is divided into several Taoists, each holding heavy troops and dominating one side. Although Emperor Xuanzong wanted to prevent the governors of these Taoists from taking the throne, , they will be transferred every once in a while, but there are exceptions to this, and there are also people who serve as governors of two or three towns. This is not unprecedented. "
Although Ye Qingcheng said no respect for Li Longji, which is a very serious behavior, everyone present knew Ye Qingcheng's past identity, and they also knew that it would be abnormal if Ye Qingcheng still had respect for Li Longji. .
Moreover, Wang Zhongsi himself has always been smart. When he heard Ye Qingcheng say this, he immediately understood Ye Qingcheng's intention. Today, there are many people who are governors of two towns in Hedong and Shuofang. Although one of the envoys was quickly removed, he started from Hedong and has a certain foundation. If he accumulates merit in the future, he is likely to serve as the Jiedushi envoy of the two towns again. If his merits at the border were accumulating, someone else would most likely be transferred to Chang'an and directly promoted to prime minister, which would be a disguised revocation of military power. But who is Wang Zhongsi? He was raised by Emperor Xuanzong since he was a child, and his relationship with Emperor Xuanzong was unusual. Otherwise, if Li Linfu had slandered him so many times, he would have been deposed long ago. How could he have been able to sit back and relax until now? Since Emperor Xuanzong will not be afraid of him, he will still have the opportunity to be promoted in the future. It is not impossible to become the Jiedushi of the Three Towns or even the Four Towns. By then, he will really be a prince in the world of mercenaries. …
Thinking of this, he swallowed his saliva and suddenly slapped himself in the face, shocking several other people at the dinner table.
"Wang Shuai, why is this?" Ye Qingcheng asked doubtfully. He thought there was something wrong with what he said.
"Sanlang, you don't have to say it anymore. If someone with a heart listens to it, this is a crime of rebellion! They want to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Just pretend that I didn't hear what you just said... But to be honest, if it's really like what you said This is indeed somewhat possible, but it depends on the emperor's wishes, and I won't hide it from you. In fact, there is such an opportunity right now, both for me and for you."
"Opportunity? Please give me some advice from Commander Wang." Ye Qingcheng's keen intuition felt that this should be related to the military affairs that He Bingyan said when he was in front of Jiedu Mansion. If he guessed correctly, this military affairs should be related to the recent actions of Shuofang Army. There is a connection, otherwise, Guo Ziyi would not be so interested.
Wang Zhongsi paused and drove out the servants who were waiting for them to eat not far away. After repeatedly confirming that there were no outsiders in the room, he whispered: "To be honest, just two days ago, , our Jiedu Mansion has just received a secret letter from the emperor. In the letter, he said that our Shuofang Army has not had any major military operations for a long time. Because there has been peace for too long, the Khitans and Xi people are starting to get ready to move. Not very peaceful. He plans to order a large army to come to Shuofang in the near future, with me as the general, to launch a relatively large military operation against the Khitans and Xi people. He asked me to do all the preparations for the war during this period. Be prepared, be ready at any time to send troops outside the pass via the three surrendered cities."
"Wang Shuai, are you serious about this?" Before Ye Qingcheng and the other three could say anything, Li Zheng couldn't help but ask. This news was really shocking. Although he knew that what Wang Zhongsi said might be a very important one. military affairs, but he never expected that the Khitan and Xi troops would be dispatched. This was indeed a shocking event. Even though Emperor Xuanzong liked side effects in recent years, he had never launched several major ones. The battle, especially the Shuofang Army, has been peaceful for several years. This expedition will be the first in recent years.
He, Li Zheng, has long wanted to encounter a battle to accumulate merit and get promoted. He has been stuck in the position of captain for a while. If he wants to go further, he cannot do it without a big battle, but in This was the moment he caught up with him... However, he felt a little scared when he thought of one thing, that is, what would happen if he missed this expedition? He had escorted his wife out of Lingwu a few weeks ago, and the emperor's secret message was only delivered a few days ago. In other words, he had perfectly avoided the emperor's secret message. If he hadn't encountered it on the road, The ambush by the bandits, not to mention the rescue of Ye Qingcheng and the three of them, plus his wife's instructions, he was able to return to Lingwu. After encountering such a thing, he simply didn't dare to think that if he missed it, Will you regret it for the rest of your life?
"Li Zheng, what do you mean? When have I ever lied to you? I know you have been waiting for such a big battle for a long time. Now I am following your wishes, right?" Yesterday, he, Wang Zhongsi, was actually talking to you. Li Zheng felt guilty because Li Zheng had to be absent from such a long-awaited battle while escorting his wife, which really made him feel bad. He originally planned to wait for Li Zheng to come back and try his best to bring him to the hospital within the scope of his authority. Now it seems that there is no need to upgrade to one level.
At this time, even Huan Chenyu, who had been devouring his food just now, actually stopped eating. Instead, he stared at Wang Zhongsi with a serious face and said, "But Wang Shuai, promotion is based on position. , if it is three ordinary Tang soldiers, even if they kill the leaders of these two tribes, I am afraid there will not be much room for promotion, do you understand what I mean?"
"Haha, brother Huan, don't be nervous. Since I just said that it is also an opportunity for you, I have naturally taken this into consideration. Since you have peerless skills and have traveled thousands of miles to join me, I will naturally not treat you three badly. Bit."
The implication is that if Ye Qingcheng and the three of them join the Shuofang Army now, it is impossible for him, Wang Zhongsi, to let them really start from an ordinary Tang Army. Instead, they must first do their best within the scope of their duties. Assign them a lower military position so that they can be unobtrusive and make greater contributions during this expedition. In this way, they will also receive great benefits when the settlement is later. Get promoted without attracting anyone else's attention. He only considered this because Ye Qingcheng was good friends with him and was very likely to become a good general for Shuofang Army. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't bother to care about you.
