A group of big shots in Guyuan City sat together, on two rows of armchairs. On the left were Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and other deputy managers and several civil servants. On the right were the main generals of the Western Army. Yang Chongxun's son Yang Qi wanted to sell out because of Xia Wei He was a man of face, and he had been promoted two levels by virtue of his meritorious service in defending Dingchuan Village. However, his rank was too low and his martial arts was very low, so he had a chance to sit at the bottom.
Wu Xin glanced at each other inadvertently. First, he looked at Yang Qi, who had an unruly look on his face. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. I hung my head like a chamber pot on my waist and spent more than 20 years in the rain of guns and arrows before I reached this level. Position, God is so fucking blind. This second generation ancestor has no skills. He can't fight, let alone fight. This guy Xia Xu must have taken over the Yang family again, so he inserted this kid into the hall. , what qualifications does he have to sit in the inner hall with all the big brothers?
Wu Xin lowered his eyebrows and took another look at the husband-in-law in the hall. They are today. Han Qi never talks much, but when he does speak, he will definitely fight against Xia Wei, for fear that he will not be able to piss him off to death. . However, the brothers were also betting on which of the two husband-in-laws had the stronger fate and backing, and who would fall first. He also spent a lot of money on it.
Fan Xianggong is young and promising. Although he is a scholar, his methods are also diamond-like. Grandma's master is not easy to mess with, but he does not have selfish motives and he is a master worthy of respect.
The two deputy general managers didn't say a word. They also knew the seriousness of the situation. He also heard about it in the morning. The spies placed inside the party handed back the secret letter this morning.
Dangxiang's army moved out again.
Legend has it that Dangxiang has assembled more than 100,000 troops. This is the largest scale operation in history. All eight Dangxiang troops, left and right, and twelve armies were mobilized. Food and grass were also collected in a more cruel way than before. It seems that there will be a great battle. It is inevitable.
The other party's requisitioning of grain is like robbing, and it will be in place in a few days. The efficiency of our Song Dynasty's work is as difficult as the fucking old women. Forget the difficulty, many people will inevitably be greedy for the grain and grass shipped over. !
It's almost the end of winter. If we don't have supplies then, what's the point of fighting? Their husbands can sit at home without freezing their butts, but we, the hard-working soldiers, will have to be punished by them when we come back from fighting. Damn it!
Wu Xin held up the sea of tea and sighed inadvertently. Ever since Ge Huaimin took several eldest brothers to die, there were no capable generals in Guyuan City. In terms of seniority, he could not have entered the inner hall for a meeting a few months ago. He was sitting at the bottom of the table, right, right where Yang Qi's ass was.
They couldn't beat Li Yuanhao when their elder brothers were here in the past, but now that they are on their own, what can they do to fight against others? How do you say that, hitting an egg with a stone? Or are you using something to hit rocks?
Wu Xin's little calculation began. Zhong Yi has been fighting in the north for decades without taking any advantage. The Zhong family members are all veteran soldiers and are all good players. It is absolutely impossible for Li Yuanhao to go to the north.
A little further south is Pang's hometown of Yanzhou. Lao Pang is different from Xia Wei, a money-grubbing loser. Although he is also a civil servant, he is troubled by ghosts when fighting. The reputation of the famous general has long been spread to the ears of the Dangxiang people. Even in our unlucky Guyuan City, there is no one who can fight, and they are all good at arm's length. Now, all those who can fight are dead. Li Yuanhao's army is coming, let's all wait to die together!
This is nothing. The atmosphere today is so tense. In fact, something big happened in Dingchuan Village. It was reported that someone in Dingchuan Village sent food to the village today, only to find that the village was empty and there was not even a living person in the village. No.
This is a fucking big deal. The strategy of connecting forts into a large area was proposed by several husbands to prevent attacks. In the end, the fort was built to the doorstep of the Dangxiang people. The Dingchuan Village was not captured by the Dangxiang people last time. , which is a great achievement. In just a few days, the whole city has surrendered to the enemy? Isn't this a slap in the face of their husbands?
I'm afraid I'll have to find a scapegoat to take the blame for today's meeting. .
"Master Xia is here!" the guard outside the door sang. Wu Xin hurriedly put the tea on the table and stood up suddenly, the armor on his body rattling.
Except for Fan and Han, all the low-level civil servants and military officers present stood up and greeted Xia Xue with a standing ceremony. The system of the Song Dynasty was so strict.
When Xia Wei entered the door, he saw Yang Qi who was closest to him and nodded to him. This nod was not to look up to him, but to respect his father, Deputy Privy Councilor Yang Chongxun. He was nothing. He didn't even bother to look at the others, and walked straight to the main hall and sat down.
Xia Xu is such a well-maintained guy. Wu Xin was still thinking about something, when he suddenly heard Xia Xu say angrily: "Liang Chuan rebelled against the enemy, and he secretly led troops to surrender to the enemy. This matter must be investigated strictly!"
Wu Xinxin muttered silently: I guess the next person to speak must be Mr. Han. .
Sure enough, Han Qi's beard twitched, the corners of his mouth raised, and he replied coldly: "My lord...!"
Wu Xinxin was delighted, right? I'm damn right in judging people!
Han Qi said loudly: "Master Xia, how did you know that Liang Chuan had surrendered to the enemy?"
The anger in Xia Wei's heart is that old man, Mr. Liang Chuan asked him to stay in Sichuan Village. Now the buildings are empty. Didn't he surrender to the enemy? Or did he go to have a picnic in the autumn? You are still arguing with me at this juncture, don't let me find the opportunity, otherwise I will kill you!
"It is your duty to defend the land, and you are not allowed to leave without permission. Do you know, Mr. Han, where Liang Chuan is?" Xia Wei's vicious words drew the fire to Han Qi.
Who is Han Qi? He deals with these monsters and monsters in Bianjing, and his immediate boss is a bastard like Yang Chongxun. He is not afraid of shadows. He has never been afraid of people like Xia Wei!
He straightened his back and said in a slightly higher tone: "Liang Chuan's origins are shady. It was rumored in Bianjing that he was a member of the Ding Party. He was guilty of extremely evil crimes. When he arrived in the Western Army, he was from a military background. For some reason, Master Xia was favored and promoted. As the governor of the capital, now that he has escaped, I naturally ask the Lord, how can I know?"
Murder and heart-wrenching!
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath. Han Qi's words weren't hiding a needle, but his mother was hiding a large sword. She wished she could just choke Xia Xue to death with her words, right?
Who is Ding Wei? Han Qi said that Liang Chuan actually pulled Ding Wei out. He was obviously talking about the relationship between Xia Wei and Ding Wei. Xia Wei also wanted to put the shit basin on Han Qi's head. Not only did Han Qi When he saw the trick, he even dumped a bigger pot of shit on his head. .
It's just that everyone has never dealt with Liang Chuan. Otherwise, it would be enough to give such a huge contribution to the defense of Dingchuan Village to a mere governor, or even to a deputy commander. Now after what Han Qi said, everyone present looked at Xia
The look in his eyes suddenly looked strange. Yes, there could be something ulterior in it. .
When Xia Wei saw the crowd's eyes, the hair on his back immediately stood up. He slapped his hand on the table, pointed at Han Qi's nose and said loudly: "Han Qi, listen to the order. I give you three days to dig three feet of ground." I have to find Liang Chuan, not to mention 3,000 people, even if 3,000 rats run out, they should leave a piece of mouse droppings behind!"
Fan Zhongyan saw that something was wrong. In the midst of a war, why did these two people raise their voices first? If word of this reaches the ears of officials, can this still have good consequences?
"Sir, we are facing a formidable enemy. We must not mess up our position. There will be retaliation on the front line. This time Thief Li has raised an army of 100,000 people. I am afraid that another bloody battle will be inevitable!"
Xia Wei said: "Since Li Zei won the battle of Dingchuan, he has been very determined to take Chang'an directly. It seems that we are under a lot of pressure this year. Do you generals have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
After saying this, Xia Wei glanced at everyone present.
Including Wu Xin, everyone is a human spirit who crawled out of the dead. Xia Wei is headstrong and will listen to anyone's words. If he does something well, he will take the benefits himself. If something goes wrong, he will take the blame and wait to die. Who thinks his life is long enough to work for them?
Everyone glanced aside almost in tacit agreement, either looking at Cha Huai, or looking down at the floor, or looking at the roof beams. What did Xia Yu say? I'm sorry I didn't hear it!
Xia Wei was about to curse. In fact, it was normal for him to be unable to defeat Li Yuanhao. Li Yuanhao could not be defeated by anyone else. However, he had just adopted Liang Chuan's Ten Strategies for Defeating Thieves. As soon as he was fooled by this guy, he went to raise the enemy with his back foot. , if word spreads, I am afraid that I will really be doomed this time.
"Hmph, all the princes rely on the imperial court for their wealth and wealth, but the enemy has no way to deal with it at the moment. It's a shame for the imperial court and for the common people!"
The generals were all cursing in their hearts, Damn, you are in charge, you don't make up your own mind, and you still want to kill us. I have never seen you so shameless, just close the city gate anyway, time is dragging After a long time, Li Yuanhao naturally retreated when he ran out of food and grass. What was there to beat?
But this cannot be said. The officials wanted the Song Dynasty to take the initiative. This is how Ge Huaimin died. He stayed behind closed doors because he was afraid of war. Who said they would not let civil servants participate in the death in the future? That is impossible!
"Does Xiwen have any good ideas?"
Fan Zhongyan only wanted to benefit the country's life and death. He didn't care about his retreat. He said straight away: "The Western bandits are powerful. The only solution now is to strengthen the walls and clear the country to prevent supplies to the Western bandits. When the supplies for our army arrive in the spring, we can fight against the Western bandits again." decisive battle!"
Everyone, including Wu Xin, is worthless for Fan Zhongyan. This is just too upright.
Xia Wei's eyes lit up. This answer was exactly what he wanted. If he wins in the future, he will be the same as before. If he suffers a loss due to his own merits, hehe, Mr. Fan will take the blame!
Xia Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "I think Xiwen is indeed a true husband!"
After saying that, he looked at Han Qi and said with a stern face: "Liang Chuan must be found, otherwise don't blame me for reading your Master Han's book in front of the officials!"
Han Qi just snorted coldly and didn't even bother to answer.
Suddenly there was an urgent report outside the hall, like thunder on the ground. Except for the three great ministers, everyone else's flesh jumped. Is it possible that Li Yuanhao came over so quickly?
"A plume of smoke was found in the northeast!"
