Just when Yang Fan was deeply shocked by this mighty army, there was a different scene in Duan Zhixuan's barracks.
Looking at the imperial decree on the plan table in front of the commander-in-chief, Duan Zhixuan was uncertain, his face turning red and white.
Among the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty, the left and right guards had the smallest number, with each guard having only 12,000 men at full strength.
The soldiers on the left and right guards are strictly selected, and everyone can be called a warrior who can fight one against ten.
Therefore, although the left and right guards have the smallest number, they are the most elite troops among the sixteen guards.
Now Yang Fan directly transfers a large battalion from Youwei, which is like cutting Duan Zhixuan's heart.
These soldiers are all his hard work and his confidence. What's more important is that this Zuoying is extraordinary.
What does His Majesty Li Er want to do?
Is it really because he got too close to the noble family that he started to guard against himself?
Otherwise, why would they send such elites to escort the grain and grass? It is obvious that they want to divide the power in their hands.
You know, judging from past experience, the army escorting grain and grass is composed of farmers who were temporarily transferred.
It's all the fault of Yang Fan. If it hadn't been for that kid, he wouldn't have been so passive.
It used to be smooth sailing, but ever since I met that guy, everything has been going wrong!
The more Duan Zhixuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up with a roar, kicked the stool next to him away, and kept cursing in his mouth.
Thinking of His Majesty Li Er's actions now, Duan Zhixuan felt a little restless and panicked.
If Li Er really wants to take action on himself, according to the emperor's temper, if he doesn't move, it will be enough. If he moves, he will be eradicated. Prince Li Jiancheng and others are a lesson learned from the past.
The more Duan Zhixuan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't know what to do. Could it be that he really wanted to surrender his military power and stay at home like Li Jing?
Although this is very safe, Duan Zhixuan is unwilling to accept it!
I thought I was just a fool in the beginning and managed to climb to where I am now. How could I give up so easily?
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the barracks. Duan Zhixuan was as frightened as he was distracted, but he had no choice but to sit back in command.
"My child has met your father!" The person coming was Duan Zan.
Although he was a little surprised, Duan Zhixuan breathed a long sigh of relief. After waving his hand for Duan Zan to sit down, he asked: "Is Zan'er looking for his father with something urgent?"
Duan Zan stood up and replied: "Father, I heard that your Majesty allocated a large battalion from the Right Guard Army to escort that boy Yang Fan to transport food and grass. Is this relevant?"
"It's true!" Duan Zhixuan looked a little defeated and nodded helplessly.
Duan Zan angrily complained: "How could your Majesty do this? The Right Guard Army is my father's hard work, how can it be transferred to others at will? Besides, it is just to escort grain and grass. Is it necessary to dispatch the elite Right Guard Army?"
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly shouted: "Zan'er, don't talk nonsense. You and I are both ministers, how can we discuss His Majesty's decision in vain?"
With that said, Duan Zhixuan hurriedly ran to the door of the barracks and looked around. When he saw that there was no one around, Duan Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If His Majesty Li Er hears what he just said, he will have to shed his skin even if he does not die, and it will be impossible to go further.
Duan Zan also knew that what he just said was a bit reckless, but when he saw Duan Zhixuan being so nervous, he said indifferently: "Father, don't be so nervous. When the child came in, he had already asked the guards to stay away from the handsome tent..."
Duan Zhixuan did not relax, but warned more cautiously: "Zan'er, some words can only be understood but not expressed in words. Be careful that walls have ears. As the saying goes, misfortune comes from the mouth. It is better to be careful in the future. Your Majesty is not an easy king to deal with."
At this time, Duan Zan finally restrained himself a little. As the imperial army guarding the capital, he had the opportunity to come into contact with Li Er.
Although His Majesty Li Er mostly showed his kindness to others, it is undeniable that His Majesty Li Er was a ruthless emperor.
If His Majesty Li Er heard those words just now, his life would be over.
Not daring to point the finger at Li Er, Yang Fan naturally became the scapegoat. Duan Zan said without anger: "Father, are we just going to let that guy Yang Fan take people away from the Right Guards?"
Duan Zhixuan walked back to the commander's position and said confidently: "It is simply a fantasy for a boy who has no military knowledge to command the elite of the Right Guards."
"Are there any variables left?" Duan Zan asked eagerly.
Duan Zhixuan stroked the short beard under his chin and smiled mysteriously: "Zan'er, does he know which battalion my father sent to that boy?"
"Could it be the left camp of the Right Guard Army?" Duan Zan suddenly realized after thinking for a while and blurted out.
Duan Zhixuan said authentically: "Exactly!"
"That Bang Chui will suffer a lot!" Duan Zan was immediately ecstatic, looking up to the sky and laughing.
Duan Zhixuan also nodded in agreement.
Speaking of the left camp of the Right Guard Army, Duan Zhixuan loves and hates it.
Because this Zuoying is like a useless existence.
Although Duan Zhixuan, as the general of the Right Guard, manages the affairs of the Right Guard, the Zuoying of the Right Guard is an exception.
The reason for this must start with the composition of Zuoying.
Because all these soldiers in Zuoying are composed of Xuanjia troops.
When it comes to the Xuanjia Army, everyone knows about it.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er personally led the army to eliminate the separatist forces in various places, and the Xuanjia Army played a major role.
The Xuanjia Army is composed of the most powerful cavalrymen selected from the cavalry unit, all wearing black clothes and iron armor.
Moreover, the record of the Xuanjia Army is even more impressive. Once Li Shimin only used 3,500 elite Xuanjia soldiers to defeat the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of Dou Jiande and Wang Shicong, which shows the history of the Xuanjia Army.
As time went by, by the beginning of the tenth year of Zhenguan, the Xuanjia Army had expanded to more than 6,000 people.
Due to the military reform last year, except for the 3,000 Xuanjia troops left by His Majesty Li Er as guards of the palace, almost all the rest were assigned to the Right Guards.
Duan Zhixuan was very happy at first, but unfortunately he couldn't be happy anymore.
Because even though these black armor soldiers took off their black armor, they were still full of arrogance.
Duan Zhixuan couldn't command these people at all, so Zuo Ying became a pain in Duan Zhixuan's heart.
Such a powerful army could only be watched but not used. In desperation, Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to beg His Majesty Li Er for pardon and administration.
So Li Er sent Zhou Daowu, who had grown up in the palace.
Although Zhou Daowu was nominally in charge of Zuoying, in fact it was nothing more than an empty shelf.
How could these former Xuanjia soldiers be willing to take orders from a playboy in their eyes?
This is why when Yang Fan praised Zhou Daowu for his promising future, Zhou Daowu would become furious.
Just when Duan Zhixuan and his son thought that Yang Fan would be disgraced, the soldiers on Zuoying's campus let out deafening shouts.
Zhou Daowu, who was also on the military commanding platform, had his mouth wide open in disbelief.
Yang Fan is too stupid and domineering!
