The meeting hall of the Anbei Protectorate.
After Shi Jin and Feng Tao once again gathered all the generals of the Anbei Protectorate, all the generals present were gearing up.
The four great mythical beast generals, led by the two Li brothers, kept asking to lead troops to the expedition.
Shi Jin's face looked a little ugly, looking at the many excited generals talking here.
"Without His Majesty's order, we sent troops to attack the Western Turks without authorization, triggering a continuous war. Even if we had to do this, there was no way to explain it to the ministers in the court."
As soon as Shi Jing finished speaking, the two lieutenants, Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong, started booing here.
"Master Deputy Protector, what are you worried about? Do you have to wait until the Western Turks gather their troops to attack, and we will not be able to resist and lose our troops and generals before we worry about it?"
Shi Jin watched Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong say this and sighed.
"It's not that I don't know the priorities of things, it's just that I have to mobilize the troops without orders. This doesn't make sense!"
Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong were quite helpless. The four great beast generals also felt embarrassed, not to mention the four great formation generals, who were gnashing their teeth here.
"I didn't expect that as a general, we would end up in such a situation. We could only wait for others to come to us for trouble before taking action. We couldn't take action first to eliminate all hidden dangers. The solution is in the bud. Alas!"
Shi Jin sighed, "It's not like we don't know what you're thinking about. I'm also a general, and I don't want to argue with others when they knock on my door. But we just rashly gathered our troops and went forward, in case of disruption." What are your Majesty’s arrangements?”
As soon as Shi Jin finished speaking, Feng Tao came to support Shi Jin.
"Okay, okay, let's not force the Deputy Protector for now. It's really unjustifiable to attack rashly without orders. Even if the general's military orders are ignored, but now that the world is at peace, we really can't explain it rashly to start a war. past."
Under the opposition of both Feng Tao and Shi Jin, Li Yunlong and Li Yunfei could only sigh in place.
"The good opportunity is fleeting. While the Western Turks are gathering troops and horses, I can wait for a half-way attack to have unexpected effects. When they are ready, it will be a hard nut to crack. I don't know how many big ones there are." Tang Erlang died on the battlefield because we were afraid of taking responsibility this time."
Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong didn't care about Shi Jin and Feng Tao's face at all. Instead, they accused Sang Huai of saying that these two people didn't do anything.
But Feng Tao and Shi Jin looked at each other and smiled.
"If we are not afraid of death, even if our heads are removed, as long as we can defeat the enemy, we will accept it."
Just as Feng Tao and Shi Jin finished speaking equally seriously, Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong, including the four major town generals and the four major mythical beast generals, looked at them curiously.
"Since the two of you are not afraid of losing your head and have such a good opportunity, why don't you work together to completely wipe out the Turks? In one battle, they will save them from bringing disaster to the Tang Dynasty?"
Seeing the ten generals in front of him swearing so confidently that as long as they take action now, they can definitely defeat the Turks, Shi Jin shook his head helplessly.
"You don't know, right? The Lord Protector has sent word that we all must gather together to make new arrangements. Of course, this is His Majesty's arrangement."
As soon as Shi Jin finished speaking, Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong asked Shi Jin hurriedly.
"Deputy Protector, do you want us to send troops to attack the Turks? If so, we will immediately gather our troops and go out in full force to let the Turks see the style of our Tang cavalry."
But as soon as the two of them finished speaking, Shi Jin shook his head.
"That's not the case. We need to remove most of Anbei's soldiers and go south."
"What?"
Everyone was surprised at this moment.
"Going south, how is this possible? I don't believe it! We still have to beware of the Turks and detach our soldiers to go south. How can there be such a reason?" The Li brothers once again raised their doubts, but they just raised their doubts and felt that What they said was very reasonable. Feng Tao said something there when he was in the north and in dire straits because of some inexplicable things.
"Didn't you notice what Master Shi said just now?"
Feng Tao's words made everyone look at Feng Tao again.
What did you just say? Isn’t it already very clear? They were going to detach some of their men and go south to join Xu Yunyan.
Upon hearing this, the two people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and then turned back to look at Shi Jin tremblingly.
"Sir, do you mean that we have to obey the orders of the Champion General again, the Grand Protector of our Anbei Protectorate?"
After the two of them said this, they nodded vigorously. Yes, they must obey the orders of our Lord Umiko. What do you think it is that we obey the orders of Lord Toto?
When Shi Jin said this, the two Li brothers couldn't help but laugh.
"I know, I know, as long as you follow our Lord Protector, there will definitely be a battle. Now the most direct manifestation of our Lord Protector in our hearts is that we are unexpected. Although we are going south, maybe this is to paralyze the enemy? "
When the Li brothers said this, other people nodded here, too. They also agreed with what the Li brothers said.
Their Protector-General is so unexpected and unexpected, and what they are doing now does not face up to the fact that their Protector-General often surprises everyone, making everyone confused, but everything is quite different. Is there anything meaningful about it?
But everyone here is happy on the surface, maybe they are happy on the inside, but there is one person who has a very forced smile on his face.
If it wasn't Li Chengqian who arranged to serve under Xu Yunyan, then who was Li Zhong who followed Xu Yunyan's orders?
After Li Zhong followed Li Chengqian's arrangement, he came to the Anbei Protector's Palace and exchanged with Zhao Dong and became the general of the Anbei Protector's Palace. He performed meritorious services again and again and received military merit awards again and again.
Now he is no longer an ordinary person. He has transformed from an ordinary Tang soldier in a small mountain village into a Viscount of the Tang Dynasty, and has reached the level of a fifth-grade bandit general.
Now Li Zhong is thinking about how to use his soldiers and horses to create new results when he once again goes to war with the Western Turks, and how to raise his title and official position to a level comparable to that of Xu Yunyan. Didn't Xu Yunyan look down on him at that time? With his true talent and hard work, he can easily defeat Xu Yunyan.
But while everyone was discussing how to do these things, someone finally said something as if he remembered something.
"But let's gather the troops and horses. How many troops and horses will we gather?"
The person who spoke was Zhai Peng, one of Xu Yunyan's best friends and the leader of the four generals.
After he asked, Shi Jin touched his chin.
"No matter what, we must dedicate more than half of our most elite forces to the Grand Protector's disposal. Otherwise, our Anbei Protector's Mansion may not be ridiculed by others. We won't even be able to spare our hands."
But as soon as Shi Jing finished speaking, Zhai Peng looked at him with bright eyes.
"Sir, please let me go. Logically speaking, I am on duty this time and I happen to be out. If something like this happens to happen, I will definitely do my part."
After Zhai Peng finished speaking, Li Chun and Zhang Xia kept saying that even if they did not become generals, they could still bring people to join Xu Yunyan. Even if they were ordinary people, they were willing to do so.
The other person who went out with Zhai Peng this time was Li Zhong.
Li Zhong was quite reluctant to obey Xu Yunyan's orders, and then looked at them talking there.
"Since you two want to go, I will give you this opportunity to go out."
Although Li Zhong said this, the people present were a little surprised, but they valued Li Zhong even more.
"You're the guy I like."
Li Chun and Zhang Xia looked at Li Zhong and punched him in the chest with a smile, while Li Zhong smiled on the surface and looked at the two of them and said.
"You and I, your eldest brother, have a sworn relationship. I can't steal your limelight, right? Let you follow my eldest brother first. I'll just obey orders in the Anbei Protector's Mansion."
After Li Zhong finished speaking, everyone looked at him with even more satisfaction. Even Shi Jin and Feng Tao nodded with smiles.
The two lieutenants, Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong, knew the choice: "In that case, you can stay, and Zhai Peng."
After Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong agreed that Li Zhong should stay, they looked at Zhai Peng.
"Don't you always want to go out? Look at Li Zhong who is with you and stay in style. Are you going to stay too?"
At this moment, Zhai Peng's face turned bitter again.
"Two generals, you can't bully people like this. This time it's my turn to go out! The deputy governor and Lord Chang Shi have to make the decision for me!"
Before Shi Jin and Feng Tao could say anything, the Li brothers were talking again.
"This time it is indeed your turn to go out. When Li Chun and Zhang Xia are asked to go out to perform tasks, you should stay in the Anbei Protectorate to listen to orders to go out at any time and inspect the surrounding areas of the Anbei Protectorate. Isn't this a matter of course?"
At this moment, Zhai Peng suddenly stopped and did not dare to say anything more. What they said was right.
Was he just going out to inspect the area around the Anbei Protectorate?
But this time, Zhang Xia and Li Chun looked at Zhai Peng triumphantly, and after showing off to Zhai Peng, they looked at Li Zhong and clasped his fists.
"Brother, you are really our good brother!"
Although they felt that Li Zhong was their little brother because of the relationship between Li Zhong and Xu Yunyan, who would take care of Li Zhong in everything, this time Li Zhong couldn't help but let them finally put Li Zhong in front of them. Looking at Li Zhong in the same position, I felt that Li Zhong did a good job.
Li Zhong did not expect that his own unintentional mistake would actually create an impression in everyone's minds that he was quite kind and trustworthy.
As for Feng Tao and Shi Jin, they couldn't help but talk when they looked at Li Zhong.
"I didn't expect that there are such benevolent and righteous people in the Governor's hometown. I just don't know how many people there are in your hometown?"
Li Zhong looked a little ugly at this moment, and everyone seemed to know that they had said something wrong, causing Shi Jin and Feng Tao to speak hurriedly.
"Look at us. When you just joined the army, something happened in the North that we didn't want to happen. There were also Turks invading the border. Many relatives must have died in the North. It's not our fault. It shouldn't be said. These."
After Feng Tao and Shi Jin said this, coupled with Li Zhong's expression, everyone felt that there was no problem with this. As soon as Feng Tao and Shi Jin finished speaking, Li Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately you didn't do in-depth research, otherwise in the Northland, there are still many of Xu Yunyan's hundreds of veterans, and the performance of each of them is not bad."
Although Li Zhong's status in everyone's hearts has been rising since this accidental incident was confirmed, Li Chun and Zhang Xia were already making noises before Li Zhong was happy.
"Deputy Governor, since it has been decided that we two will go out, let's give the order immediately."
After Li Chun and Zhang Xia said this, Shi Jin looked at them.
"When did I say you two went out? It's just that they agreed to you going out."
This suddenly shocked everyone present.
What else are you trying to do?
