It was as if Shen Lian was not going to lead an expedition, but to have fun.
In fact, for Shen Lian, the early stage was similar.
After all, the external commander is Xue Rengui.
His mission is just to assist Xue Rengui.
But everyone who knows the inside story will know that it is he who is really talking.
Everyone, including the envoys, knew this.
But this does not prevent Xue Rengui from still being the commander-in-chief of the army.
"Rengui, after we meet up with the army, please stop following me."
As Shen Lian walked away, he said: "To the outside world, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. Everyone will pay attention to you. And there is no telling when the army will join us. What you have to do is to integrate those armies."
"If I have an explanation, I will take the initiative to find you."
"You should be aloof and forceful, and show your power to other army commanders when it's time to do so."
"We only need one voice for this trip, and that's your voice."
"So, let me hold them down on the road. If anyone is not convinced, just challenge them to a single fight and beat them up."
"In short, before you actually fight against Nanzhao, you must have a unified voice. No matter what decision you make, no one can refute it."
Xue Rengui nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will never let you down."
Xue Rengui understood that the reason why he got this opportunity was because Shen Lian fought for him.
So he was very grateful to Shen Lian.
He also obeyed Shen Lian's words.
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "That's good. You are very smart and have potential. What you lack now is just experience, and this time is your opportunity to accumulate experience and grow quickly."
"besides……"
As Shen Lian walked away, he said, "Xugou, as the deputy general, you should cooperate with Xue Rengui well this time."
"You are the official spokesman for the Twelve Shadow Thorns. Don't hide it and discredit the Twelve Shadow Thorns. If there is anything you can teach Rengui, teach him. What you originally learned was for Those who fight.”
"In addition, you have no practical experience. You can give advice based on the knowledge you have learned, but don't make random suggestions."
"There is a difference between talking on paper and actual combat. Don't be careless."
"This action is an extremely rare opportunity for both Rengui and you. Do you understand?"
Xu Gou nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, young master, I understand everything."
Xu Gou has been following Shen Lian for a long time, so he naturally knows that this opportunity is hard-won.
Although he is not very smart, he has learned some skills after following him for a long time.
At this point, I naturally know what I should do.
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "That's good, then let's do it."
Shen Lian doesn't need to say much. Xue Rengui and Xu Gou are not fools, so just one explanation is enough.
There is no point in saying too much.
Everyone quickly arrived at the gate of Chang'an City.
Here, he saw many familiar faces.
Li Shimin is here.
Fang Xuanling is here.
Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng are all here.
Shen Lian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Li Shimin: "I have met your Majesty."
Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Lian up. Looking at Shen Lian's dress, he smiled and said, "You don't look like you are going to fight. Instead, you are going to relax."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "It's just for relaxation. I'm a civil servant, so I can just hide behind it."
Li Shimin and others were speechless for a while.
Are you still a civil servant? !
Your kung fu is much better than that of a general.
Of course, Li Shimin was very happy to hear Shen Lian's words.
After all, he was afraid that something would happen to Shen Lian.
If Shen Lian could really hide behind him, he would feel relieved.
But... based on Li Shimin's understanding of Shen Lian, would Shen Lian really hide behind him in danger? !
He took a deep breath, patted Shen Lian's shoulder gently, and said, "Work hard. If you encounter difficulties that you cannot overcome, come back."
"It doesn't matter even if we fail, Datang can afford to lose."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Everyone sends blessings, why does your Majesty say these things instead?"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and waved his hands angrily: "Okay, let's go, it's an eyesore here."
"Hahaha."
Shen Lian laughed loudly, then raised his hands and said loudly to Li Shimin and others: "My lords, the country will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will see you when we return!"
There was no sadness in the farewells to Li Shimin and the others.
Shen Lian doesn't like sadness either.
After all, it's not like he won't come back.
When Li Shimin and others do this, they always give him the feeling of setting a flag.
Therefore, he just made a few jokes to make the atmosphere better, and then strode away.
The army was already waiting outside Chang'an City.
Ten thousand elite troops, as well as some logistics troops, stood outside Chang'an City.
After seeing Shen Lian and Xue Rengui arriving, they all bowed to him: "I've seen the commander-in-chief!"
Xue Rengui looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled and said, "What do you want me to do? You are the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty. From now on, Rengui, you have to shoulder the burden."
"It's up to you how many of these 10,000 troops and thousands of logistics troops can come back alive."
Xue Rengui instantly felt like a big mountain was pressing on his shoulders.
But he was neither timid nor afraid.
He just took a deep breath and immediately walked towards the army.
He wants to get ahead, and he doesn't want to stay like this for the rest of his life.
Master Shen won him an opportunity that no one else could get.
He will definitely catch it!
Master Shen must not be disappointed.
Likewise... we cannot let down these soldiers who believe in us.
With these more than 10,000 people, he will do his best to let as many people leave as possible and come back.
Xue Rengui went to boost morale.
Shen Lian and others watched quietly here.
Looking at the young general in white robes, feeling the aura exuding from him, he couldn't help but say: "Although General Xue is young, he gives people a great sense of security. I have a hunch that General Xue will definitely become the leader of the Tang Dynasty in the future." of a famous general."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Famous general? No, a famous marshal!"
"Famous handsome man?"
Sishe was shocked and said hurriedly: "Young master, do you think General Xue is a handsome man?"
A handsome man and a general are completely different.
What a general needs is bravery, the ability to lead a small army to fight a victorious battle.
But Shuai Cai, that's different.
The commander should take everything into consideration, not only allocating manpower reasonably according to the situation of each general, but also rationally determining tactics according to the situation on the battlefield.
It can be said that handsome talents must not only have the ability to recognize people, but also have foresight.
This is really not something everyone can do.
At present, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Jing can do this.
Li Jing is not called the military god of the Tang Dynasty casually.
There are also reasons for this.
Therefore, Si She was really surprised that his young master had such great confidence in Xue Rengui, who had not yet experienced a war.
This confidence is truly incredible.
There's a lot of trust.
Shen Lian looked at the soldiers whose morale was aroused and kept shouting, and said with a smile: "Whether it is a handsome man or a general, this experience is enough for us to see clearly."
"In short, I haven't seen anyone wrong so far, so... I am right or wrong this time. Let's wait and see."
After listening to Shen Lian's words, Sishe looked at Xue Rengui again, with more scrutiny in his eyes.
Before, he only regarded Xue Rengui as a follower like them.
But now, he found that his young master treated Xue Rengui differently than he treated them.
Although Xue Rengui is a follower, it is obvious that his young master is not prepared to let Xue Rengui follow him all the time.
……………………
My young master wants to cultivate a handsome man who can succeed Li Jing for Datang!
This meaning is completely different.
Sishe didn't know why Shen Lian looked at Xue Rengui so differently, but he believed in his young master's vision, so next, he would look at Xue Rengui secretly.
He will go and see what kind of ability Xue Rengui has, which is worthy of the young master's training.
"Mount your horse and let's go!"
At this time, Xue Rengui's roar came directly.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers immediately mounted their horses.
The movements are uniform, giving the impression that these ten thousand people are the same person.
Its elite can also be seen from it.
Xue Rengui looked at Shen Lian at this time.
Shen Lian smiled and nodded. He immediately got on his horse and said, "Let's go."
Xue Rengui shouted directly: "The army is setting off."
Tens of thousands of elite troops just left Chang'an City.
The expedition to Nanzhao finally officially kicked off.
Three days later.
Nanzhao, a certain underground secret room.
A long table is located in the center of the chamber.
There are six chairs on both sides of the table, and one chair directly in front of the table.
At this time, three of these chairs were occupied by people.
The remaining five chairs are empty.
And on the chair at the front, an old man with gray hair wearing a white robe, a mask on his face, sat there.
At this time, the old man looked around and said: "The Tang Dynasty has reached unity with other countries and has begun to send troops to Nanzhao."
"According to their speed, in two days, they may all gather at the border of Nanzhao and officially launch an attack on Nanzhao."
"What do you think should be done about this?"
The words fell.
A burly man with a scar on his face grinned and said: "Since they dare to come, then we can just let them come back without coming back!"
"hehe."
Suddenly, a person walked out of the shadows, it was Dark Star Yin Yuan.
The one-eyed thin man sneered: "Tianji, be smart when you speak. Intelligence shows that the Tang Dynasty directly controlled all the countries, and a total of 900,000 troops attacked Nanzhao. Do you think you can kill them?"
The original Tianji of Beidou Club was a woman.
But after the death of Lao Tian Jiji, the Beidou Society conducted a new round of screening.
In the end, this burly man became the new Tianji.
Yuheng, Tianquan, Yaoguang, who died at the hands of Shen Lian, and Tianxuan, who was controlled by Dali Temple, will also be selected as new star users during this period after their death.
According to the rules of the Beidou Club, the Beidou Club cannot lack Stars.
Therefore, once a star person dies, a new star person will be selected as quickly as possible.
Thus replenishing the ranks of the Star Makers.
Of course, it is not that easy to supplement and become a star person.
For example, when we were in Chang'an before, there were candidates for the new Tianquan. They had to perform tasks and complete the tasks before they could become the new Tianquan.
But that candidate was very unlucky and was killed by Shen Lian.
So, he failed.
And now this new Tianji has also been tested by missions.
The fact that he can pass such a difficult task proves his strength and that he is qualified to become a new star bearer.
At this time, these five people, Tianshu, Kaiyang, and Xintianji sitting on the chairs in the open, and Dongming and Yinyuan hiding in the dark, are currently the main persons in charge of the Nanzhao base.
Of course, there is another Dark Star who is also in Nanzhao, but that person is a veteran Sequencer, and he is currently pretending to be the Emperor of Nanzhao and sitting in the palace, so he rarely cares about the affairs here...
And here, Beichen, who had just arrived not long ago, was currently in charge of their business.
Of course, no one knows whether this Beichen is the real Beichen or a puppet of Beichen.
But Beichen actually came here, which showed that Beichen valued this place.
This new star was officially supported by Beichen.
Only those Stars who are recognized by Beichen can become true Stars. Otherwise, even if they pass the assessment task, but Beichen doesn't nod, they are not considered Stars.
The entire Nanzhao, the current lineup of the Beidou Club is so gorgeous.
The leader of Beidou Club, Beichen.
The old dark star sequence players are Beichen, Dongming, Yinyuan, Emperor Nanzhao, Tianshu, and Kaiyang.
The new sequencer, the new Tianji.
There are seven out of ten stars here, and almost all of them are dispatched.
From this we can also see the significance of Nanzhao to the Beidou Society.
The burly Xin Tianji, hearing what the one-eyed Yin Yuan said, just smiled and said: "Yin Yuan, I'm not stupid. Of course I know there are as many as 900,000 of them."
"But war can never be won with more people."
"Not to mention, these 900,000 people come from 90 countries!"
"How much combat effectiveness do you think an army with ninety wills can have?"
"I even think that they can't form an effective offense at all. As long as they encounter a slight setback, they will bang..."
Xin Tianji's fist turned into a palm, and he said with a smile: "It turned into a pile of loose sand and was immediately defeated."
Although Xin Tianji looks very tall, he seems to be very reckless.
But everyone present knew that Xin Tianji must not be regarded as a reckless common man.
Otherwise, sooner or later there will be no bones left eaten by Xin Tianji.
Since Xin Tianji can pass the assessment of Star Master, this in itself proves his ability.
The reason why Yin Yuan argued with Xin Tianji was because the two of them didn't seem to be getting along well.
With a snap, the dagger in Tianshu's hand pierced directly into the table.
He looked at everyone and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense. No matter how much we talk, it can't compare to Beichen's words."
Tianshu looked directly at Beichen and said, "Beichen, just tell us exactly what you want us to do."
"We know our capabilities well. If you ask us to do something locally, we are sure of it."
"But if you ask us to face a war with millions of troops, this is obviously beyond our capabilities."
