Ye Wujiang and Yi Zian sat opposite each other in the tent, looking at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Finally, Ye Wujiang spoke first.
"The current commander-in-chief of the other side is named Gouba. I have never heard of such a number one figure before. Although he is young and uses troops seemingly very casually, because of this, it is difficult for us to predict his movements. It has been Suppressed for many days.”
"How many soldiers are coming with you?"
He reported to the emperor and asked for support. His original intention was to have Qiang Bai lead troops to support him, but what he didn't expect was Yi Zian, who was suppressing the domestic rebels.
But now that he is here, it means that the domestic rebel party has been captured, and he no longer has to worry.
"The whole army is three hundred thousand."
Three hundred thousand troops! ! ! In other words, all the National Security Army under Yi Zian's jurisdiction came.
The National Security Army is responsible for domestic stability. It is divided into four prefectures and twelve counties in peacetime, each performing its own duties. It will only gather together in extraordinary times.
But now that all members of the National Security Army are here, the country is bound to be empty.
Ye Wujiang was shocked and worried: "You have brought all the national security troops here. What if there are evil-minded people causing trouble in the country at this time and disturbing His Majesty the Emperor!"
Yi Zian also frowned slightly. It's not that he didn't understand Ye Wujiang's worries. He was also a little worried, but: "This is the intention of His Majesty and Prime Minister Fan."
Ye Wujiang's brows did not relax.
Not only was Ye Wujiang worried, Yi Zian also had something that was bothering him. After a moment of silence, he finally decided to tell Ye Wujiang.
"Brother Ye."
"What's the matter?" Ye Wujiang was still thinking about how to deal with Mo Jun when Yi Zian suddenly called him and pulled him out of his thoughts.
"It's about the rebellion of the previous dynasty in Chiyang County."
"Huh? Didn't you almost quell the rebellion? Are there any other questions?"
Although Ye Wujiang said this, he also understood that since Yi Zian opened his mouth, there must be something wrong with this matter.
"Actually, there was no counterinsurgency."
"You didn't counter the rebellion? Then why are you here? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
Ye Wujiang slapped the table and stood up. He originally thought that some remnants of the party had escaped, but he didn't expect that there was no counterinsurgency at all.
"Go back, I can still hold on here!"
"Brother Ye, I have also said that this is His Majesty's wish. The order I received is to prevent the rebel forces from expanding out of Chiyang County. Not long ago, I received an order to come to the front line to assist Brother Ye."
Based on his understanding of Ye Wujiang, Yi Zian also guessed that it would be like this and hurriedly advised him.
"Furthermore, His Majesty also said that the rebel party will come to help us defend against the Mo tribe. If we encounter them, we must let them go."
"Although His Majesty said so, I still can't let go of the rebellion, so I want to discuss it with Brother Ye."
silence.
Ye Wujiang looked back in the direction of the imperial city. When he faced Yi Zian again, his eyes became firm and he sat down: "I understand. The first priority is to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy."
I don't know what your Majesty is thinking, nor what happened. Since your Majesty wants this, there must be a reason for it.
"Report--" A soldier filled his account.
"Say." Yi Zian raised his head and looked at the soldier who reported the news.
"An army of about 50,000 people arrived. They called themselves An Army. The leader was named Zhang Xing. They said they wanted to see General Ye."
Ye Wujiang looked at Yi Zian.
Feeling his gaze, Yi Zian grinned. He was talking about this just now, but he didn't expect him to come right away.
"Go tell them, I will be there soon." Ye Wujiang said.
"I obey!" The man retreated.
Ye Wujiang glanced at Yi Zian again and then left the tent.
Yi Zian shook his head helplessly and followed him.
Suburbs.
Ye Wujiang and Yi Zian came on horseback.
"Zhang Xing!" Without waiting for the other side, Ye Wujiang spoke first, looking sharply at the leader in front of him.
How can enemies look good when they meet?
Zhang Xing also had a cold face, but he knew that he came here to fight against foreigners, not to mention that he was now in other people's territory. Even though Ye Wujiang didn't want to see him, he couldn't return the favor.
"General Ye, long time no see."
"The An Dynasty has been destroyed. Now we are in a prosperous world. Where did you get the An army?" Ye Wujiang turned a blind eye to Zhang Xing's seemingly flattering move.
"What kind of child's house game are you, a bunch of dying people, playing?"
Zhang Xing didn't want to stir up trouble, but the main reason for Anguo's downfall was his defeat by the man in front of him. Now that Ye Wujiang brought up the old matter again, he couldn't help it.
"Ye Wujiang! We were kind-hearted to come to our aid, but you kept being aggressive..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Wule rode out, stood between the two of them, and saluted Ye Wujiang: "General Ye, long time no see!"
How could I forget this person who could make his leg bones weak just by his aura?
But now I can treat it with a normal attitude, and I am sighing in my heart.
Where does this confidence come from? Are these people following you behind you? Or is it because his martial arts skills have improved and he thinks he can defeat Ye Wujiang? Or is it because of Xiao Zizai?
It’s all there! I am no longer the thin young man who only knows medicine, and I am no longer alone. There are many people looking forward to me, and many people care about me.
There are many expectations of ourselves...can we respond to those expectations?
Thinking of this, Xie Wule was a little distracted.
"Is it you? Have the scars on your face been cured?" Ye Wujiang looked at Xie Wule in shock for a while, but he still recognized: "The fact that you appeared on the opposite side also shows that the hostility towards you when I saw you last time was not without reason. !”
Xie Wule was pulled back by Ye Wujiang's words and smiled slightly: "It is also my blessing that the villain can still be remembered by the general. Thanks to the general, my scar has also been removed."
After saying this, Xie Wule was also shocked by himself. In the past, he would never have dared to say this.
"Oh, indeed. Your surname is Xie. Yunbian City should have thought about your identity at the beginning."
"As expected, you have indeed embarked on the path of endangering the imperial court. Your Majesty should not have been soft-hearted and let you people go. He said he would give you a chance."
"Hmph! Even if I give you a few more chances, what will you change? It will only endanger people's livelihood!"
"Is it him again?" Xie Wule said in a voice that only he could hear.
After recently getting involved with Yanqing Emperor Yang Yi, I often heard things related to this person.
Relatives and friends were killed because of him, but he also survived because of him, twice.
Speaking of which, why did you rise up against silence this time? Why did you give such an order to Zhang Xing and others in the first place?
I always feel like I've forgotten something.
"General Ye, we are not here to have a verbal dispute with you or to settle old scores. When the Mo tribe invades, we are all obliged to resist counterattacks. This is also the purpose of our visit."
"The current situation is also very serious. Although we have a small manpower, we can still be a help. I also ask General Ye to put aside the past grudges and fight the enemy together."
Ye Wujiang stopped saying hurtful words. Indeed, as Xie Wule said, the top priority is to solve the threat of invasion by the Mo tribe. Changing dynasties is better than replacing ethnic groups.
What's more, if tens of thousands of people like Xie Wule come now, all their actions will be under their noses. If they want to do something, they can discover it immediately and deal with it in time.
Compared with the previous situation, it seemed to be much better, and I had no reason to refuse.
Thinking about it, Ye Wujiang nodded in agreement: "It's best if you have the intention to fight against foreigners, but don't think that I will provide you with help in food, grass and weapons, let alone reveal the plan to you."
"That's good. Thank you, General Ye." Xie Wule smiled slightly. He spurred his horse to turn around and led everyone away.
After Xie Wule and others left, Yi Zian asked: "Brother Ye, is there anything wrong with this? Once they cause trouble behind us, won't we be in a lot of trouble?"
"Don't worry, Zhang Xing is not this kind of person."
"Really?" Yi Zian was still a little worried.
Ye Wujiang didn't answer, just looked at Xie Wule and others leaving. He has known Zhang Xing for a long time. Although they are enemies, his understanding of him is unmatched by ordinary people.
When he fought against Zhang Xing, he was just a fledgling general. If he wanted to win against a long-established general, he naturally had to know him thoroughly.
Zhang Xing was very clear about right and wrong before it happened. He felt relieved about Zhang Xing, but he was afraid that Xie Wule was not such a person!
"Go back quickly." Ye Wujiang also rode away: "The Mo clan may be paying attention to something."
Yes, the Mo tribe has been stable for so long this time. Normally, they only have to strike a bow every few hours, but this time it has been two days and they haven't launched an attack yet.
Yi Zian stopped asking and chased after him.
